[Honghuang] After dressing as the goddess of laurel, I came to Honghuang again

The twelfth-grade Miserable Black Lotus and the twelfth-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus are all formed from the lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus.The Mieshi Heilian can absorb the tyrannical aura and possesses extremely strong defensive power. It is a top-grade spirit treasure that integrates offense and defense, even among the top-grade innate spirit treasures.

Shang Zhi's original plan was to inject the beheaded good corpse into the Mieshi Black Lotus, but he has been busy recently, so the matter of the good corpse has been delayed.

Facing the endless sea of ​​blood at this time, Ming He laughed and said: "Friend Daoist, I will wait for you on the opposite side of the blood sea first." After that, he walked to the opposite side of the blood sea step by step, step by step, growing lotuses, Bloody lotuses bloomed at his feet.

Kunpeng took a look at Shang Zhi, turned into a Peng bird, spread his wings and flew across the sea of ​​blood in an instant.

Shang Zhi raised his eyebrows at the sea of ​​blood.He could tell that the two of them also wanted to test his strength.Looking over the boundless, tumbling magma-like sea of ​​blood, a black lotus platform appeared at Shang Zhi's feet, leading him to fly easily to the opposite side of the blood sea.

The threat of the endless sea of ​​blood seemed to be nothing under the defensive ability of the twelfth-rank Mieshiheilian.Shang Zhi easily flew to the middle of the sea of ​​blood.Looking at Styx Kunpeng on the opposite side, the two of them are still examining their appearance, especially Styx, who seems to have a two-point joke on his face, which can be seen as deceitful.

Could it be that there is something in this sea of ​​blood?

Shang Zhi's eyes fell.Suddenly, a huge black shadow quickly flew towards the black lotus platform.Shang Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, not panicking at all.The twelfth-rank World-Exterminating Black Lotus bloomed with endless light, knocking that black shadow into the air.Shang Zhi held a bow and arrow, and shot an arrow towards the path where the black shadow was knocked away.

The black shadow sensed the danger, made a piercing "buzzing" sound, and then tried its best to shift its direction. Even so, Shang Zhi's golden arrow still shot through its wings.

With a loud bang, the black shadow lost its balance and fell to the sea of ​​blood and floated up.Only then did Shang Zhi see clearly that what attacked him just now was a blood-winged black mosquito, which had six pairs of wings, one of which was shot through by Shang Zhi, exposing a huge hole.The blood-winged black mosquito floated on the sea of ​​blood and moaned, its compound eyes staring at Shang Zhi with hatred.

Shang Zhi lowered his eyes, without any fear, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't want to hurt me, I won't fight back. You are not as good as others, and now you have to blame yourself. I will spare your life today, and you will practice hard in the future. Do this kind of evil thing again, so as not to be contaminated with karma and fall into practice.”

The blood-winged black mosquito trembled slightly when he thought of the arrow he had just shot.There seemed to be a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, but Shang Zhi's easy arrow left a full shadow on the blood-winged black mosquito.

Lowering its proud head, the blood-winged black mosquito trembled and said, "Thank you for your teaching, senior."

Shang Zhi had already left, and the blood-winged black mosquito gradually fell under the sea of ​​blood, but he didn't understand how Styx brought back such an evil spirit.She looks gentle and harmless, but she is full of dominance when she moves her hands.

"Friendly Taoist strength." Minghe clapped his hands and applauded, when his eyes fell on the black lotus platform, his expression moved slightly, and then he said with emotion, "I didn't expect that this twelfth-rank black lotus would actually return to the hands of fellow daoist. "

"Oh, do you know the origin of the twelfth-grade world-exterminating black lotus?" Shang Zhi took the lotus platform.He didn't expect Styx to have some friendship with Luo Hu.

Talking about Rahu, Styx's expression became more serious: "I don't really understand it. It's just that I had a relationship with his master, the demon ancestor Luohu before. His power is extremely powerful, and countless demon gods obey his orders. He didn't dare to beat him directly, so he hid in the sea of ​​blood. Later, he was defeated by Daozu, and according to his demon gods, many of his treasures were lost. Unexpectedly, the twelfth rank of world-destroying black lotus was in the hands of fellow Daoists. "

When talking about Luo Hu, Styx didn't have that face-saving look.He honestly spoke about his lack of strength and his timidity in facing Rahu.After all, he was a powerful person who once competed with the Dao ancestor, and there was no shame in admitting that he was afraid.

The twelfth grade Mieshi Black Lotus emerged in Shang Zhi's palm. He stroked the delicate and beautiful lotus platform, and said with a smile, "Good luck, it's a gift from my uncle."

Minghe's expression froze, he didn't expect that the lotus platform was actually given to him by Daozu.

It is reasonable to say that Luo Hu's things most likely fell into the hands of Hongjun who killed him at that time.

It's just that this shot is an innate spiritual treasure, which is really enviable.

After this trial, Styx also had a deeper understanding of Shang Zhi's strength. After adding him to the list that he could not be provoked, Styx began to ask about his most urgent thing - sanctification.

Shang Zhi knew that he would not give up easily, so he said: "I will still say what I said before, and I will not deceive you in order to gain your trust. Since you must talk, then I also have a few questions to ask my friend."

"You say, it's okay, I'll listen."

"Nuwa's sanctification stems from the virtue of creating humans. She has the primordial purple energy to help her practice, and she is proficient in the way of creation. After a thousand efforts, she finally enlightened and created the human race. This is the same as the way she cultivated. It fit perfectly."

"Sanqing is Pangu's authentic sect and a disciple of the Taoist ancestor. He is powerful and famous in the prehistoric world. The three brothers have their own understandings in practice, so they established a sect to teach and transform living beings."

"In comparison, the reputation of the two Western Sects is weaker, so after the establishment of the Western Sect, the merits did not come, they made four great wishes, and finally obtained the approval of Heaven."

"Fellow Daoist, do you think you can compare with Nuwa in terms of creativity, or with Sanqing in virtue of enlightenment? Or with the two western sages in terms of self-cultivation ability?"

Shang Zhi's words were really merciless, the more he listened, the more dignified Styx's face became.

Kunpeng sat on the side with folded arms. Except for Shang Zhi's slight movement when he mentioned the primordial purple energy, there was no big reaction afterwards.

He is not as superstitious about Shangzhi as Styx, but intends to see Styx's learning results, and finally cross the river by feeling Styx.

If Styx succeeds, everyone will be happy, and he will learn it. If not, then he will not suffer, anyway, it is Styx who has spent a lot of effort.

The two of them stared at Styx, seeing that his expression was becoming more and more dignified there, his brows were frowning more and more tightly, and he was thinking carefully.Shang Zhi poured himself a glass of Blood Sea special wine brought by the Demon General, and took a sip.

It is said that this thing is brewed using a special method, and the raw material is a special jade produced in the underworld.The wine was like blood, Shang Zhi took a sip, feeling a bit like wine.Not to mention, don't have a taste.

After half of the wine in the jug went down, Ming He suddenly slapped the table hard and said loudly, "I have a solution!"

Shang Zhi and Kunpeng looked at him at the same time.

Styx touched the necklace of bones around his neck and said with a smile: "Since I am inferior to others in creation and education, why not do both!"

"Huh?" Shang Zhi frowned, puzzled.

Styx consciously thought of a good idea, Mei Zizi and Shang Zhi explained: "The West can establish a sect and then use the four ambitions to make up for the merits. Why can't I be recognized and gain merit by combining the creation of creatures and the establishment of a sect? ?”

Shang Zhi: "..."

"I don't think it's a simple problem of one plus one equals two. Maybe the final result won't be what you want." Shang Zhi tried to explain to him, at least let him not set his expectations so high.

"Whether you can successfully test it or not, you will know when the results come out." Styx is now flattered by his own thoughts, and feels that he is unwilling to become a saint, and he seems to be determined to go his own way.

Shang Zhi was silent for a while, then patted him on the shoulder: "Then you go on, find the materials to create living beings first, and I will go to Netherworld for a stroll, looking forward to your results."

"Do you want me to find two demon generals to accompany you?"

"No need, I can do it by myself. It doesn't look like it's very dangerous in the nether world," Shang Zhi said.

Styx remembered something, and said with disgust on his face: "It's true that it's not very dangerous, but if you accidentally touch some places, you'll be covered with filth. It won't hurt us, but it's unavoidably dirty."

Shang Zhi was puzzled.

Styx sighed and said: "You also know that today's creatures actually have souls after death. Some souls wander on the ground and gradually die out in time, and some gather in the nether world and spread all over the place. Different strange landscapes have emerged, for example, there is a river where there are souls who have stumbled and fallen, and they cannot leave, wailing all over the field, if you encounter them, you can stay away, and don’t be entangled by those things.”

Shang Zhi remembered it in his heart and nodded.Only then did he fly towards Netherworld.

Looking at his back, Kunpeng asked: "Do you think I should follow him to see what he is going to do?"

Styx waved his hand indifferently: "What are you wasting that time for, and I will go collect materials with me later. I have lived in Nether for so long, can I not know what things are here? There is nothing good here at all. People probably just go out Relax."

Kunpeng finally suppressed the suspicion in his heart.

Indeed, he often comes to the Blood Sea as a guest, if there is something in the Nether, they can't hide it from their eyes.If there was a chance, it would have been taken away by Styx.

After Shang Zhi left the sea of ​​blood, he followed the entrance of Huangquan all the way deep.Seen from the entrance, the entire Netherworld is extremely empty, and there is nothing inside, as if the stage that originally belonged to it has not yet arrived.

Shang Zhi went down the overgrown road, and finally came to an open place, thinking about the layout of Er Jifu in his memory from his previous life.

With the passage of time, the underworld has long been a concept of the fusion of Taoism and Buddhism among the people.There are not only Fengdu, but also the ten palaces of Yama and the eighteen levels of hell.

But there are many things in common.

For example, behind Shangzhi, there should be a ghost gate in front of Huangquan Road. In front of the ghost gate, sixteen big ghosts are enshrined, watching the passing souls with gloomy eyes.

Shang Zhi picked up the steps and walked towards the depths of the Netherworld.

Along the way, Shang Zhi saw a lot of lost souls, most of them wandering aimlessly in the nether world, walking around.Many of them are the appearance of the prehistoric creatures after their death. It is estimated that they have wandered in the world for too long and have already lost their sanity.Shang Zhi passed behind them, and these dead souls didn't even give him extra eyes.

About four-fifths of the way, when approaching the deepest part of the Netherworld, there was a desperate wailing sound ahead.Shang Zhi stepped forward quickly, and a river appeared in front of him.There is a narrow bridge over the river. The narrow bridge is rickety. If you have no skills, you may not be able to cross the river. It is true. Many dead souls in this river stumbled and fell.

Once submerged in the river, the crazy river will stimulate and magnify their memory, and even after their death, their dead souls will not be spared, leaving them in a process of losing control of pain.

Shang Zhi stood by the river and observed the river carefully. The ghosts of the dead wandered about in the river. Occasionally, a few pale faces appeared in it. The swollen soul stared directly at Shang Zhi. The same is true for shaped creatures.

This place seems to gather the most miserable emotions in the prehistoric world, even Shang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

At this moment, a dead soul wandered along the river and stretched out its hand to grab Shang Zhi. It seemed to want Shang Zhi to fall into the water, but the quasi-holy class was no longer capable of harm by ordinary malice. Soon, the scorching pain made the soul body With a scream, he hid in the water and disappeared without a trace.

Footsteps came from behind, Shang Zhi followed the sound and found that it was someone he knew.

That is the back soil, and the large area of ​​Bana flowers behind it blooms like blood, surrounding the back soil.

Seeing that Shang Zhi is also in the Netherworld, Hou Tu is also strange.

"I didn't expect to meet fellow Taoists here." Houtu walked to Naihe, looked at the dead souls in the river and said, "Most of them stumbled and fell into it, and some of them were attracted to the river because of too much karma. With the passage of time, I gradually lost my mind and acted on instinct, and once I entered the river, I could never come out again."

"Can't Fellow Daoists rescue them?"

Houtu shook his head: "This is the rule. The rule leads them here. Even if I save these dead souls, they will still be attracted to the river the second time, and the cycle repeats."

She suddenly smiled embarrassedly, and said in a warm voice: "What's more, the Wu clan doesn't cultivate the soul, so it is not suitable to deal with the dead. The Wu clan... Even after death, most of the souls will dissipate immediately, because they are too weak."

Shang Zhi comforted her: "Perhaps there will be a way to let the dead souls rest in peace in the future. Could this Netherworld belong to the dead souls?"

Hou Tu didn't expect You Ming to be explained in this way, so he couldn't help but said: "Fellow Daoists are really different. If ordinary creatures come here after knowing death, I'm afraid they would shy away from here."

Shang Zhi couldn't tell the truth, but said that there would be six reincarnations in the future.After all, he didn't know where the Six Paths of Reincarnation came from.It's just that he didn't expect that Houtu would already have a relationship with Nether.

In the universe in his sleeve, Shang Zhi could feel something hot, constantly reminding Shang Zhi of its existence.Shang Zhi's expression changed, he looked at Qian Kun in his sleeve, and found that the book of life and death was shaking.After arriving in Netherworld, it made movement for the first time.

Shang Zhi was puzzled and let it out.

When the human book came into Shang Zhi's hand, it flew away from his hand impatiently, and then sank into the rolling river without any further movement.

Hou Tu was startled: "What is that?"

Shang Zhi said: "I don't know what to use for a magic weapon I got before, but I didn't expect to have a sudden reaction after arriving in the Nether world, and I don't know where it flew to?"

Houtu thought that he was missing the magic weapon, and comforted him: "You didn't mean that the ability of this treasure is unknown. I'm afraid it was a chance to appear suddenly today. Maybe you will know how to use it when you come back next time. Look for it, it shouldn't be far away."

"No, it might belong here." Shang Zhi shook his head.

The Book of Life and Death should have belonged to Nether, anyway, it is useless in Shang Zhi's hands, so it is better to put it in Nether to see if there is any change.

Shang Zhi was not worried that the baby would be taken away by others.Just now, the book of life and death lost its breath when it entered the Nai River. Even he couldn't find the book of life and death, let alone other people.

And he came to Nether this time to see if there was a way to activate the book of life and death, and now he has achieved his goal.

Not daring to stay here any longer for Ming He and the others to discover their purpose, Shang Zhi cupped his hands and said, "I'm going back, do you want to join us, fellow Taoists?"

Houtu was worried that if he didn't leave, Shang Zhi would think more about it for his magic weapon, so he also nodded.

All the way back, Shang Zhi had been paying attention to Houtu's expression, and found that she seemed to be accustomed to the dead souls around her, but when she passed them, she would not bump into them roughly, but slightly avoided the walking path of the dead souls.When looking at these dead souls, there is also a hint of compassion in the eyes.

This is probably why Houtu became one of the four imperial gods in the future, the central god, and took charge of the netherworld.

The two arrived at the entrance of the underworld, and when they parted, Houtu suddenly said: "Will fellow Taoists join the Yaozu?"

Shang Zhi shook his head.

Houtu seemed to be relieved: "The conflict between the monster clan and the witch clan is getting more and more intense. It is a good thing that we can not be enemies with fellow Taoists in the future."

"You hate war?"

"Of course I hate it." Houtu smiled bitterly, "But brothers and sisters don't resist war, I always have a bad feeling, that's all, it's useless to say these now, I hope I won't see fellow daoists on the battlefield in the future. "

After she finished speaking, she left Huang Quan, but Shang Zhi still remembered what he just said.

If there is a war between Liches in the future, then the most pitiful thing is the creatures who do not want to participate in the war but are innocently implicated in it.These relatively strong monks can take care of themselves alone, but those creatures have no choice.

what can we do about it?

Shang Zhi returned to the sea of ​​blood, this time the blood-winged black mosquito did not dare to make trouble again, and curled up obediently in the sea of ​​blood.After Shang Zhi went back, he found that Styx was not there. The demon general who was guarding at the side saw him, came up to welcome him and said, "The ancestor and God Kunpeng went to find the treasures of heaven and earth, and ordered me to entertain you here."

Shang Zhi really didn't know what's so interesting about this sea of ​​blood, and he couldn't arouse his interest for the time being. He curiously asked the demon general, "Are you born from the nether world?"

The demon general shook his head, and told the truth: "At the beginning when the demon ancestor established the demonic way, we went to join him. Later, the demonic way failed and the demon gods scattered everywhere. Some brothers and I came to the sea of ​​blood. We were taken in by the ancestor and became his demon generals."

Only then did Shang Zhi realize that these people were originally Luo Hu's subordinates, and they arrived in the sea of ​​blood later.

Shang Zhi asked some more questions about the dead souls of the Netherworld. This demon general also came to Netherworld later, so he didn't know much about it.Shang Zhi didn't make it difficult for him, telling him not to follow him, but to start practicing.

He is practicing this time to cut off his good corpse.If the evil corpse is malicious to others, it is the heart to kill, it will make people lose their heart.So kindness is kindness, kindness to others, kindness.

Kindness is of course indispensable, but too much will only be counterproductive.

What Shang Zhi has to do now is to kill the good corpse.The twelfth-grade Mieshi Black Lotus appeared in front of Shang Zhi, and helped Shang Zhi get rid of the tyranny in the aura of this place, and the filtered aura entered the body, making it run more smoothly.

At this time, Shang Zhi no longer paid attention to these things, and when he was about to cut off the good corpse, his consciousness came to another place.

"Have you heard? Apollo, the Father God is still angry with Prometheus and will continue to punish him." While speaking, Artemis wiped her golden bow with a buckskin, not noticing the laurel tree behind her. The branches and leaves are approaching them little by little.

Apollo has just played a song for Daphne, and he has not recovered from the sad love. His eyes are melancholy, but this does not damage his beauty in the slightest.

He dedicates a song to "Daphne" every year, and he doesn't care about the external situation at all during this time period.Therefore, the muses praised his affection, and the fairy Nymph was also moved by his persistence.

In Mount Olympus, such Apollo can even be called affectionate.Although he can love "Daphne", he can also love Hyacinthus, Bodhisattva Mate...many men and women.But compared with his father and uncle, he can be called a perfect lover.

Even Artemis expressed dissatisfaction with his younger brother's depressed appearance, frowning and said: "Look at what you look like now. Apollo, we have the favor of the father gods, and we have to endure the jealousy of those gods, you can't Because a little water fairy is so depressed."

Apollo never argued with her, or they argued for too long because of this matter, so he raised his hand to signal Artemis to stop this topic, and then asked: "Shall we continue talking about Prometheus?" Hasn’t God punished him already? Is there anything more painful than feeding a heart to an eagle on the top of the Caucasus Mountains? Day after day, year after year? Or maybe God the Father changed his mind and wanted to Is he like Tantalus, staying in purgatory, enduring the pain of being unable to taste the fruit and sweet spring in front of his eyes? Or is he like Sisyphus, forever pushing a stone from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain?"

Shang Zhi shook the leaves, matching them one by one.

Prometheus stole fire for mankind.Tantalus was the son of Zeus, but he was not satisfied with the gods' respect for him and the glory shared with him. He wanted to test whether the gods knew everything, so he cooked his son and used his son's meat to entertain the gods.The gods cast him into hell to punish him for his sins.The bottom of the feet is the turbulent water, and the opposite is the fruit trees.But he was trapped in the same place, unable to drink water or eat fruit, endured the scorching every day, and hung a big stone above his head, and endured the torture forever.As for Sisyphus, this is very powerful. He was going to be killed by Zeus because he leaked the secret, so he kidnapped the god of death who wanted to kill him, and was finally found out, and he was also punished.

However, Shang Zhi was as curious as Apollo. Zeus fed the eagle with the heart of Prometheus.

It's really the god king with small belly and chicken intestines.

He cursed in his heart.
