"So that's how it is …"
On the vast misty waves of the East Ocean, Li Changshou explained in detail to Jiujiu about the Tree Spirit.
Jiujiu looked at the Dharma artifact in Li Changshou's hand that contained the soul. She pursed her lips and sighed. "Senior Sister Jiang Yu is quite rough. At the end of the day, Senior Brother Qi Yuan is a little impulsive.
This matter should be cleared up! "
Jiujiu grabbed the gourd hanging beside her slender waist and gulped down two mouthfuls. Then, she let out a satisfied "Ha" sound …
"Burp!"
Li Changshou sat behind and was amused.
If you want to drink, just drink. Why do you have to find a reason for yourself?
As Little Aunt-Master's sitting posture was a little casual, it was not convenient for Li Changshou to stare at her. Occasionally … Ahem, he would look at the blue sky and white clouds!
Li Changshou said, "Uncle-Grandmaster Wang Qing has now cultivated the Gold God. He will be able to live forever in the future."
"What's so good about living forever?" Jiujiu pursed her lips. "All the Qi Refinement cultivators are pursuing this. Why don't they think about living forever … What if, what if …
Eh? What's that saying?
Anyway, to me, if I drink all the wine one day, I still have to live forever. How painful and torturous would that be? "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Aunt-Master, you want to say that you have lost your heart and character, right?"
"Yes, yes." Jiujiu immediately gave Li Changshou a thumbs up. "Little Changshou knows a lot!"
"Aunt-Master, there are two sides to everything. Losing your heart and character is also a state of cultivation."
Li Changshou said warmly,
"The higher the realm, the closer you are to the Great Dao.
In the past, the ancestor of the Dao Sect merged with the Heavenly Dao so that he could step onto the end of the path of cultivation.
However, Aunt-Master, you're right. If you lose your temperament, preferences, and even the pursuit of the Dao after immortality, you would have lived a long life for nothing. "
"Changshou, you're different."
Jiujiu moved backward and slid down from the front of the gourd. She landed on the waist of the gourd.
She placed her hands behind her back and crossed her legs. She raised her head and happened to meet the eyes of Li Changshou, who was sitting at the back of the gourd.
Jiujiu suddenly chuckled. Li Changshou blinked his eyes. He didn't know what happened to his Uncle-Master again.
"Little Changshou, you are the most interesting and fun person I have ever met!"
Li Changshou: …
Was this a compliment? This should be a compliment!
If she wanted to call him a clown, she should have used other words, right?
Li Changshou smiled without saying a word. He took out a Pill Scripture that he had recently organized and said, "I'll have to trouble Uncle-Master to control the direction and rush to the Underworld. I'll cultivate first."
"Seriously, I just praised you. Boring!"
Jiujiu snorted and did not say anything. After all, she was the one who took the initiative to go to the Underworld with him.
Did she come out for a stroll?
She was just worried that Little Changshou's cultivation level was just at the Essence Immortal stage. How could he barge into such a ferocious place like the Underworld?
Jiujiu's Aunt-Master drank a little more wine. She drove the gourd and sped towards the Underworld.
Hence, a few days later …
…
"Ox, is the Sea God really as mysterious as you said?"
On the east side of Fengdu City, on the top of two mountains, there was a bonfire beside the cliff. Two burly men who looked similar and were dressed in the "official robes" of the Netherworld servants squatted there and chatted.
"Horse, why would I lie to you? Is there any benefit?
Who asked you to cultivate in seclusion like the human Qi Refinement Warriors? Do you need to go into seclusion? You're a Magus, bastard!
If you didn't go into seclusion and went with me, you would have seen it yourself!
That scene, oh my god, there was a sea of people, flags fluttering, gongs and drums roaring, and mighty figures everywhere! "
One Magus cursed casually. The other Magus laughed awkwardly and said that it was a pity.
The "horse"'s eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his long chin and looked at the path not far away from the mountain.
"Eh? Is that the bloodline of our Magi?
Ox, look over there. Is the human girl sitting on the huge gourd a Magihuman? "
"She should be a descendant of the Magi. However, her bloodline strengthens her body. Why did it strengthen her chest muscles?
How can she fight with others? "
"She should still have strength."
The two of them looked at each other and shrugged and chuckled.
However, as they laughed, the "ox" suddenly perked up. He saw another person sitting behind the huge gourd and hurriedly shouted,
"Do you see the man behind? That's the Sea God's lover! The reason why we can speak to the Sea God is because of his recommendation! "
"Is the Sea God male or female?"
"Male!"
"Goddess, these humans are really rotten … Hehehe, but I like it."
"Pui, I was wrong. That's the Sea God's good friend! He's not a lover! "
The "ox" immediately stood up, took out his headgear, and quickly put it on.
"Quickly go down and prepare to receive them. This is a good opportunity for us to help those fellows on the ground!"
The two Battle Magi, who had shed blood in the ancient battle, got busy for a while and transformed into the Netherworld's Soul-Reaping Envoys, Ox-head and Horse-face.
Ox-head and Horse-face waited on the cliff for a while. When the huge gourd flew in front of the "One-Line Sky", it was stopped by the Netherworld servants.
Ox-head called out, and two figures jumped down from the cliff!
Below, Jiujiu put away her precious gourd and followed behind Li Changshou.
Li Changshou took out a treasure pouch and handed it to the general with a smile.
The general seemed to have lost his appetite today. His face was black as he held the treasure pouch in his hand. He glanced at Jiujiu and snorted.
"Behave yourself when you enter Fengdu City. This is not a place where you human Perfected Immortals can behave atrociously!"
Jiujiu rolled her eyes and did not say anything.
At that moment, two black shadows fell from the sky. The restrictions above the One-Line Sky flickered, but they did not stop the two figures …
"Stop!"
"Hey! What are you doing!?! "
With two shouts, a huge foot flew over from the side and kicked the general of the netherworld messengers away. The treasure pouch flew twenty feet high and was firmly grabbed by Ox-head.
Ox-head glared at the general who had been kicked a thousand feet away and cursed.
"Are you blind?! These are the distinguished guests of the Netherworld! Moo! "
Horse-face, who was at the side, immediately walked forward and bowed to Li Changshou and Jiujiu. There was a gentle smile on his unexpectedly handsome horse-face.
"My subordinates have offended you. I've offended you … Neigh."
At that moment, Jiujiu was already standing in front of Li Changshou. She protected Li Changshou behind her and sent a voice transmission. "Be careful. This Netherworld is too strange."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He could not kill them with one blow. The most abnormal ones were the two hooded men in front of him.
At that moment, Ox-head chuckled and walked over.
Horse-face stood at the side in a reserved manner. There was a stone comb in his hand as he quietly combed his brown mane.
Ox-head ignored Jiujiu and smiled at Li Changshou.
"Changshou, we meet again!
Did you come to the Netherworld this time because of the Sea God's instructions? "
"Aunt-Master, let me do it."
Li Changshou whispered into Jiujiu's ear. Then, he walked forward and cupped his hands and bowed to Ox-head.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Changshou explained the purpose of his visit. He said that he was there to send his relatives and friends to reincarnate.
Ox-head smiled and said, "That's easy. Coincidentally, the two of us are not busy. It's our duty as Soul-Reaping Envoys to send souls to reincarnate. We'll accompany you on this trip!
Please! This way! There's no need to be restrained in the Netherworld. We're all family. Just treat it as if it's your own home! "
"Thank you, Senior Ox-head," Li Changshou agreed with a smile.
Jiujiu could not help but support her forehead with one hand. She could not bear to look at it.
Ox-head summoned a comfortable convertible ox cart and called Li Changshou and Jiujiu to sit on it. He and Horse-face accompanied them.
They also ordered a team of Netherworld servants to escort them and headed to Fengdu City at a leisurely pace …
The old ox pulling the cart was not an ordinary spiritual beast. It rode a black cloud and flew quickly.
In Li Changshou's opinion, this pair of Netherworld Soul-Reaping Envoys was quite interesting.
In terms of personality, Ox-head was boorish, while Horse-face was delicate.
Ox-head sat cross-legged on the ox cart and chatted casually with Li Changshou.
Horse-face moved a stool and sat behind the ox cart. He also prepared a blanket for Jiujiu, the female Qi Refinement cultivator in a short skirt.
When Ox-head was at a loss for words, Horse-face began to speak with fervor and assurance. He chatted with Li Changshou about life, art, and the great rivers and mountains of the Netherworld to avoid the awkward atmosphere.
Jiujiu, who was hiding behind Li Changshou, could not help but mutter,
"Little Changshou, are they the acquaintances of the Netherworld you were talking about?"
Li Changshou thought of the five hundred female ghosts and replied, "Our relationship is not bad.
They have something to ask of another friend of mine, so they are trying to please us.
Actually, these two are the Battle Magi of the Magi race who followed the Lady of Earth. They are powerful and have a Heavenly Dao godhood. They are worth befriending. "
Upon hearing that, Jiujiu's expression … was indescribable.
Li Changshou quickly realized that Ox-head and Horse-face might not have high godhoods, but their status in the Magi race should be extraordinary …
With the two of them personally accompanying them, the journey was smooth.
When they entered the majestic and gloomy Fengdu City, the Netherworld servants bowed to them and could not help but secretly size them up.
The humans and demons who had come to Fengdu City to do something were also observing the group curiously.
The many ghost cultivators and Yin cultivators in Fengdu City were also filled with respect.
Sometimes, one only needed an ox cart to be cool.
As the ox cart swayed, it arrived at the forbidden area of Fengdu City — the central area of the city.
After passing through a few array formations, the true appearance of the place could be seen.
Ten majestic halls floated in the air. Between the halls, there were pitch-black chains that were dozens of feet in diameter connecting them, forming a certain array formation.
Under the ten halls, in the middle of Fengdu City, there was a bottomless circular pit that was dozens of kilometers in diameter.
Another Immortal Island floated above the circular pit. On it was a huge disc wrapped in rays of light.
The bottom of the deep pit was filled with blood fog. There seemed to be an endless abyss below, and the miserable cries of countless souls could be heard …
That was the Yama Hall, the Land of Reincarnation, and the Eighteen Levels of Purgatory.
Many figures flew around the Yama Hall. The Netherworld servants flew up and down, sending the souls to where they should go …
Li Changshou and the others first went to the Yama Hall above. They did not walk to the main hall and hid in the corner …
There were steps to reincarnation. With Ox-head and Horse-face there, they could naturally skip those steps.
Horse-face directly invited a judge over.
The judge's Deity Position in the Netherworld was slightly higher than Ox-head and Horse-face. However, when he saw Ox-head and Horse-face, he was rather respectful.
Li Changshou carefully recognized that the judge had gone to the Sea God Sect's ceremony previously …
Ox-head rubbed his hands and asked with a smile, "Changshou, where's our Uncle-Master?"
"He's here." Li Changshou took out the porcelain bottle and released the tree spirit's soul. The little tree spirit's soul curled up in Li Changshou's palm.
The judge took out an iron brush and an ancient book. They were the projections of the Heavenly Dao's treasures, the Book of Life and Death, and the Judge's Brush. They could only be used by the judges in the Yama Hall.
In Li Changshou's understanding, the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Brush were actually a "system" and not two simple treasures.
The judge used the iron brush to tap the little tree spirit's soul. Lines of words appeared on the Book of Life and Death.
Then, the judge patiently explained, "There are no sins in this life.
In her previous life, she had also accumulated merit and done good deeds. Her merit is greater than her negative karma. In her next life, she should enter the Human Dao. However, her life is a little bumpy.
Do you need to change this? "
Li Changshou hurriedly said, "If it's convenient."
"Alright, I'll try my best to help her adjust her Life Providence."
The judge deliberated for a while and wrote two sentences.
Although he could not change the words that were already on the Book of Life and Death, he could write a sentence at the back, "If you encounter misfortune, you will turn it into fortune. If you encounter a benefactor on the road ahead, you will meet him." That was equivalent to changing her fate.
Ox-head asked, "What else can we do here? Get them all for our Uncle-Master! "
"We can also determine where he was born." The judge smiled and said, "Although it will cost some merit, we are not outsiders. This person is not a villain. We can make some changes."
"Do it!" Ox-head waved his hand, and the judge immediately wrote.
Although according to the rules, Li Changshou and Jiujiu could not look at the Book of Life and Death, they could occasionally glance at it from the side and accidentally see it …
Soon, Uncle-Master's reincarnation set was completed.
The judge also explained, "The Book of Life and Death is probably only useful for mortals. As long as one starts to cultivate and embarks on the path of immortality, the restrictions of the Book of Life and Death on their Life Providence will be reduced by more than half."
Li Changshou thanked the judge and gave him a generous gift. The judge looked at Ox-head and Horse-face and accepted it with a smile.
After confirming the next life of the soul and obtaining the reincarnation quota, Ox-head and Horse-face brought Li Changshou and Jiujiu out of the Yama Hall.
They took a detour from a small path and ascended to the Immortal Island in the deep pit.
The Immortal Island was very particular. As soon as they arrived, the light and shadows in front of them rotated. The universe was chaotic, and the surrounding scenery immediately changed …
There was actually a Minor Chiliocosm hidden there!
A huge seven-colored disc stood erect at the end of this narrow space …
Many Netherworld servants were busy everywhere. They escorted human-shaped souls to the Village Viewing Platform, looked at the Three-Life Stone, and then went to the Bridge of Helplessness. They drank a mouthful of Meng Po's soup and sent them into reincarnation.
That was a programmed reincarnation.
There were also countless True Spirits floating everywhere like fireflies on a summer night. From time to time, they would be attracted by the Six Paths of Reincarnation and float towards the Six Paths of Reincarnation …
That was the reincarnation of the True Spirit. It was different from the reincarnation of the soul.
Ox-head and Horse-face cut the queue with the two of them and went straight to the front of the Village Viewing Platform. The group of Netherworld servants hurriedly made way.
Most of the souls were in a daze and did not have the chance to express their opinions.
A beam of light yellow light flew out from the Village Viewing Platform and wrapped around the soul of the tree spirit.
The tree spirit's figure slowly dissipated and transformed into the original form of the True Spirit. It condensed into a beautiful woman in a dress … Her eyes were filled with confusion.
Her eyes were filled with confusion. She glanced at the Village Viewing Platform, only to see an old tree that was about to wither and had reached the end of its life.
Then, the woman was led by a beam of light and flew to the Three-Life Stone at the side. She stood quietly on the Three-Life Stone for a while and saw her previous life …
Not long after, the woman turned to look at Li Changshou and Jiujiu with tears in her eyes.
She called out softly, "Thank you … Thank you …
Junior Sister Jiu and Changshou … Thank you … "
She should have seen Li Changshou's figure in the tree spirit's life and learned of Li Changshou's name.
Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute. Jiujiu grinned at Wanjiang Yu but secretly wiped the corners of her eyes.
The wind had entered her eyes, but she was not crying.
Ox-head and Horse-face walked forward together and called out, "It's getting late. Go early and reincarnate early. Don't let down the good intentions of your friends and relatives."
Wanjiang Yu bowed to Li Changshou again and was escorted to the Bridge of Helplessness by Ox-head and Horse-face.
After crossing the Bridge of Helplessness, they arrived in front of Meng Po. Meng Po scooped a bowl of soup.
Ox-head muttered a few words. Meng Po's hand trembled, and most of the soup in her hand spilled out. It fell back into the wooden bucket and only allowed Wanjiang Yu to drink half of it …
When Wanjiang Yu's figure was enveloped by the light emitted by the Six Paths of Reincarnation and quickly disappeared, Li Changshou finally felt relieved.
Next, he would go to the reincarnation place of Wanjiang Yu and arrange for a paper effigy to protect her …
Huh?
Li Changshou turned his head and saw Jiujiu tilting her head and leaning gently on his shoulder. She let out a sigh.
