Why do I suddenly feel that the Netherworld is a little scary?
After leaving Fengdu City with Youqin Genya, Li Changshou maintained his composure and slowly flew out of the Netherworld. He immediately pressed Youqin Genya's shoulder and quickly used Water Escape …
"Senior Brother?"
"I'll send you back to the sect first," Li Changshou said in a low voice. "I suddenly have something urgent to deal with."
"If Genya can help …"
Youqin Genya was halfway through her sentence when she sensed the speed of the escape technique. She wisely stopped talking.
It seemed that she really could not help Senior Brother Changshou at that moment. She would only cause trouble for him.
"I can deal with it. Don't worry," Li Changshou agreed and sent a voice transmission. "Go back to the mountain and cultivate well.
Remember to find an opportunity to tell Uncle-Master Jiang that you are interested in serving the Celestial Court. I will tell you in detail about the rest later. "
After saying that, Li Changshou began to focus on controlling the escape technique. More of his attention returned to his main body. In the secret chamber of the Xiao Qiong Mount, he drew the scene that he had seen previously.
He drew three portraits in a row. They were all scenes of the woman in the black dress crying on the surface of the lake. Then, she sat on the round chair and could not recover for a long time.
Was his reaction too excessive when he encountered such a strange incident in the Primordial World?
No, that reaction was the result of Li Changshou suppressing the fluctuations of his Dao heart!
Just now, the sadness had spread over, causing Li Changshou's heart to feel extremely gloomy. He was a foreign owner of the Primordial World who had a good life in his previous life. He almost burst into tears.
Although it was not a sin for men to cry, if he had been assimilated by the sad Dao runes at that moment, it would have caused great damage to his Dao heart …
What is that Big Sister up to?
Is she asking me to save her?
Near the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation …
After careful analysis and comparing it to the situation when he had ascended the Reincarnation Immortal Island several times, the only additional event this time seemed to be the opening of the Eighteen Levels of Hell.
The greatest possibility was that there was a powerful mighty being suppressed in the eighteen levels of hell!
However, why did he attack his mind?
It was obvious that Junior Sister Youqin, whose cultivation was relatively low and whose emotions were clearly fluctuating, was not affected at all?
Li Changshou pinched his fingers and divined, searching for the secrets of heaven. Because his divination skills were limited, he could only deduce that the woman was indeed a 'spirit' that existed.
What he saw was definitely not an illusion.
Suddenly, Li Changshou thought of the two huge stone statues that carried the Six Paths of Reincarnation on their backs.
Could the woman who asked for his help be the Lady of Earth?
But why was the Lady of Earth in such a situation?
He recalled that the last time his paper effigy entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he had lost contact with it for a short period of time. When he came out of it, he also recalled the tragic state that King Qinguang and King Chujiang were in when they entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation and came out again …
This evidence was enough to prove that the Lady of Earth was in the Six Paths of Reincarnation and was especially mischievous.
Then, who was the one asking for help?
Was it Senior Lang?
That was impossible. When the Goddess mentioned Senior Lang previously, she had already clearly explained that Senior Lang's outcome was to be completely killed by the Heavenly Dao.
The person who attacked Senior Lang should be the Dao Ancestor. How could an old and ruthless person like the Dao Ancestor leave behind such a hidden danger?
He had just created three portraits with the intention of testing the Heavenly Dao. In the end, there was nothing unusual …
That had completely ruled out the possibility that the person in the painting was the Heavenly Dao taboo, Senior Lang.
Then, who is this woman?
To be safe, Li Changshou did not intend to treat this matter as his secret. Otherwise, he might be embroiled in strange karma.
What do I need to do now?
Report!
If there's a problem, look for Teacher!
He had to report the situation to the Tushita Palace and resolve the risks that he had to bear in advance!
If that woman was a dangerous person, he had only passively received a request for help. He had not done anything wrong.
Li Changshou summoned the three paper effigies that were carriage drivers and asked them to take a painting each and head towards the Celestial Court, the East Ocean, and the South Ocean Water God Temples.
Although he was multitasking, Li Changshou was still focused on his main body. He kept pinching his fingers to deduce who the woman he had seen was …
An hour later, the sound of water splashing could be heard in the Sea God Temple. Zhao Gongming happened to return at that moment.
Li Changshou stood up to welcome him. Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Light descended from the sky on a cloud. They had relaxed smiles on their faces …
"Have the two of you discussed it?"
Li Changshou asked warmly. Before Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Light landed on the cloud, they nodded and agreed at the same time.
Zhao Gongming smiled and sighed. "Just as you said, Brother, the two of us should give each other an explanation."
"I understand what the Water God said that day." The Goddess of Golden Light bowed and said, "I have more admiration and respect for Senior Brother Gongming. I will indeed feel uncomfortable when I get along with him …"
Li Changshou smiled and said, "It's good that the two of you have decided."
Then, Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. He deliberately revealed a troubled expression and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I can't help the two of you with the celebration for the time being."
The Goddess of Golden Light hurriedly said, "We shouldn't have troubled the Water God."
Zhao Gongming asked directly, "Did you suddenly encounter some trouble?"
Li Changshou nodded solemnly. "Brother, do you know much about the Netherworld?"
"The Netherworld?"
Zhao Gongming could not help but say curiously, "The Netherworld was established in ancient times before the current Celestial Court. It was the Great Virtue of the Magi, the Lady of Earth, who sacrificed herself and transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. She guided the souls that had nowhere to be placed in the world to reincarnate and become living beings again.
In order to protect the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc and maintain the stability of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Three Realms, the Netherworld was created … "
Li Changshou said in a low voice, "Is there any news that most living beings don't know about?"
Zhao Gongming pondered for a while. The Goddess of Golden Light also helped him think.
Soon, Master Zhao gave it a try and said, "There's no need to worry.
"The Lady of Earth was once one of the top three mighty experts among the twelve Ancestral Magi. Do you know about this?
In the past, she was known to be invincible when she stood on the ground. She was the closest to the Connate Dao Body among the twelve Ancestral Magi. She had the deepest understanding of the Dao of the Pangu God.
However, very few people mentioned this after the ancient times. "
Li Changshou nodded and continued to look at Zhao Gongming with anticipation.
Grandpa Chao immediately knew that he had not hit the nail on the head. He continued to lower his head and pinch his fingers to deduce.
The Goddess of Golden Light said, "I heard from someone that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc doesn't seem to be complete. It's just like the Creation Jade Disc that the Dao Ancestor used to mend the Heavenly Dao back then.
There are loopholes in the Heavenly Dao, and there is a crack in the Creation Jade Disc. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc doesn't seem to be perfect. There are some drawbacks. "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "That's true."
The Goddess of Golden Light, who was much more mature and intelligent than the last time they met, smiled in embarrassment …
She really could not help much.
Li Changshou waited for a while and asked Zhao Gongming, "Brother, have you seen the Lady of Earth in the ancient times?"
"Of course." Zhao Gongming's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence. He stroked his beard and smiled. "The Lady of Earth is kind-hearted. Even during the Great Magi-Demon War, she was defending most of the time. She rarely killed.
I was once lucky enough to discuss the Dao with the Lady of Earth. Unfortunately … Forget it, there's nothing to pity about. She only made her own choice and sacrificed herself for the living beings and the Magi. "
As Zhao Gongming spoke, Li Changshou had already grabbed a brush and ink from the desk. With a few strokes, he drew a side profile.
"Brother, do you know this person?"
"Isn't this the Lady of Earth?"
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "Where did you see such a portrait … Brother, what's wrong? You don't look right. "
Li Changshou slowly took a deep breath and took a few steps back to the main seat.
This matter seemed to have exceeded his expectations.
…
Four hours later, Li Changshou finally confirmed that the woman who was restrained on the lake, dressed in a black dress, and emitting endless sorrow was the legendary Lady of Earth.
He first showed the three portraits he had made to Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming said firmly that she was the Lady of Earth.
Then, Li Changshou's paper effigy went to the Dragon Palace and asked the Dragon King about the news. He used the knowledge stored in the "Primordial Living Fossil" to confirm that matter again.
During this process, Li Changshou told Zhao Gongming the truth and hid something from the Dragon Palace.
He was just afraid that the Dragon Palace would be worried for nothing.
In the rear hall of the Sea God Temple, Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Light paced back and forth in front of Li Changshou. One of them stroked his beard, while the other pinched his chin. They were racking their brains to help him think about what was going on.
Zhao Gongming said, "The Lady of Earth asked you for help. Is there anything strange about the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
Heaven's will has revealed that the Netherworld is safe and sound. There are no signs of collapse. "
"Is it possible that the Lady of Earth did not ask for help from you?" The Goddess of Golden Light's eyes lit up. "Could it be that there's a problem with your Dao heart, Water God?"
Li Changshou smiled helplessly and closed his eyes. The paper effigy emitted a faint green glow, and a wisp of pure Dao runes circulated …
The Goddess of Golden Light praised, "Fellow Daoist, you have actually cultivated the Stainless Dao Heart. I misspoke just now."
Zhao Gongming said, "Why don't I go to Three-Immortal Island and ask? It's better for a few more people to think together than for us to be at a loss here. "
"Brother, you can't." Li Changshou said seriously, "The fewer people know about this, the better. Otherwise, it will cause panic among living beings.
I'll go and ask Senior Brother Xuandu now or ask the Grand Supreme Elder to clarify. Brother and Fellow Daoist Golden Light, please don't mention this to anyone. "
"Sure!"
Zhao Gongming agreed with a serious expression. He immediately bade farewell to the Goddess of Golden Light and reminded Li Changshou not to worry about the two of them. He had to work on such a huge matter first …
Just as he sent away the two immortals of Jie School, who were about to create history in the Primordial World, Li Changshou's Water God incarnation in the Celestial Court had already flown outside the Tushita Palace.
The Grand Supreme Elder was out traveling and was not in the palace. Li Changshou easily found the Great Daoist Master who was sleeping soundly in the backyard …
Unfortunately, Li Changshou did not obtain much useful information. He only reported the matter to the Great Daoist Master and gave himself an additional layer of protection.
The Great Daoist Master also felt that there was something fishy about that matter. Therefore, he summoned the Taiji Painting and activated his deduction skills. In the end, he could only come to a conclusion.
"There's no problem with the Six Paths of Reincarnation."
"Then, the problem might be the Lady of Earth herself," Li Changshou said.
The Great Daoist Master said seriously, "The Lady of Earth is the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The Six Paths of Reincarnation is the Lady of Earth. The two of them are one.
The heavenly secrets had been revealed. If the Six Paths of Reincarnation were fine, the Lady of Earth would naturally be fine.
Changshou, is it because the two Aunt-Masters, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, went to the mortal world to undergo the tribulation and handed the matters of the Celestial Court to you? Did you put too much pressure on yourself recently and caused a problem with your Dao heart? "
"Well … I'm actually quite relaxed. Ahem, it's not that I'm not interested in the matters of the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court itself doesn't have much to do."
Li Changshou explained awkwardly and said, "Great Daoist Master, can I trouble you to go to the Goddess's Palace with me to visit her?"
"That's naturally a small matter." The Great Daoist Master smiled and nodded. However, he did not ask anything and agreed.
It was rare for Li Changshou to be so energetic.
His main body was hidden in the paper effigy of the carriage driver and secretly rushed to the Tushita Palace of the Celestial Court to meet the Great Daoist Master.
The Great Daoist Master used the Taiji Painting to break through the universe and go to the Goddess of Outer Space's Palace.
The two of them, who had yet to be officially announced to the public, soon left the five continents and appeared in the void that was dotted with stars.
The Great Daoist Master rode a cloud and flew towards a resplendent light with Li Changshou. Before they could fly more than 50 kilometers, immortal light shone in front of them. A door appeared out of thin air and enveloped the two of them.
He arrived at the beautiful Minor Chiliocosm again. The abundant spiritual energy, the refreshing breeze, and the unrestrained laughter in the wind made Li Changshou feel much more at ease.
Two fairies rode two cloud boats over and bowed from afar. One of them said, "I'm not sure.
One of them said, "The Goddess already knows why the two Senior Brothers of Ren School are here. Senior Brother Xuandu, please wait in the hall. The Goddess only saw the Water God today."
Master Xuandu nodded with a smile and did not say anything. He placed his hands behind his back and went to a cloud boat.
Li Changshou bowed to the Great Daoist Master and jumped onto another boat.
The Great Daoist Master reminded him, "Junior Brother, don't be rude in front of the Saint."
"Senior Brother, don't worry." Li Changshou agreed and looked at the comics in his storage Dharma treasure. He felt a little uneasy. I …
How long will I be locked up by Goddess Nuwa this time!?!
However, there was one advantage. Being locked up in the attic of the empty world by Goddess Nuwa, he could have more time to temper his mental state. Hundreds of years inside were just a blink of an eye outside …
The two Cloud Boats traveled together for a while and then separated in the middle of the palaces.
Li Changshou was brought to the calm lake and arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. He stood in front of the pavilion and bowed.
"Greetings, Goddess Nuwa."
"Come in." A rather lazy voice came from behind the door. A certain Madonna seemed to have just woken up.
Li Changshou turned his head and looked behind him. The fairy who was leading the way had already disappeared. He immediately raised his hand and pushed open the wooden door.
In front of him was a thin film that shone with seven-colored streams of light. Li Changshou carefully stepped into it and felt that the flow of time was almost at zero. He arrived at the familiar room again.
The familiar pool, the screen, the carpet, and the decorative scenery …
Goddess Nuwa, who had changed into a warm yellow loose skirt, was floating in the pool. There was an air cushion floating beneath her.
A comic book written by Li Changshou floated in front of her. There were all kinds of fruits and delicacies floating beside her, as well as the Goddess's favorite iced fruit juice.
When Li Changshou saw that, he felt a little helpless.
Not only was there no mustard in the Primordial World, but it was also difficult to perfect the Dao of Sashimi.
There was also no cola, causing the Dao of Otaku to lose a small portion of its happiness.
Ahem, let's get down to business.
"Goddess …"
"Have you seen the Lady of Earth?"
"Yes." Li Changshou agreed honestly and lowered his head, not daring to look at her. "I came to see you this time because I want to ask you to solve my doubts, Goddess."
The goddess in the pool said calmly, "What do you want to know?"
Li Changshou fumbled in his sleeve for a while and took out three thick stacks of books.
The girl in the pool closed the book in her hand. A satisfied smile appeared on her beautiful and solemn face.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?
The matter regarding the Lady of Earth is not a taboo. It's just a secret. Only the few of us know about it. "
Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute and respectfully handed the painting over with his immortal power.
Then, Li Changshou explained everything that he had seen previously and took out the portrait.
Goddess Nuwa beckoned the portrait over and held it in her hand to look at it carefully. There was a hint of helplessness in her phoenix-like eyes. "It's been hard on her."
"Goddess, what do you mean?"
Nuwa asked, "Have you entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation before?"
"I've entered once with my incarnation." Li Changshou could not help but be stunned. "Goddess, do you not know about this?"
"If I want to know, I will know," Nuwa said calmly. "But why do you think that the Saint has to monitor every living being in the world at all times?"
Li Changshou could not help but be speechless. "This …"
"Yes, I almost forgot." Nuwa squinted slightly and teased him. "Your personality is quite strange. If you become a Saint, you will definitely monitor everything in the world. You will clearly be asking for trouble, but you will still enjoy it.
Naturally, you will not be able to become a Saint in this world. "
Li Changshou said, "Goddess, isn't it too hurtful for you to use such a flat tone?
Empress, please tell this disciple about the Houtu. "
"What's the hurry?"
Nuwa raised her chin slightly. Li Changshou turned around and saw that the corner that he had sat in the last time had been transformed into a small study.
A short table, a cushion, a screen, an incense burner … The equipment was quite comprehensive.
"Since you're already here, you have to draw another one no matter what.
As a thank-you gift, I will show you a way to earn merit in the Netherworld and help you complete the Golden Body of Merit. How about that? "
Li Changshou calmly bowed and turned to sit in the corner. He skillfully spread out the paper, brush, and ink. He took out a set of calipers, templates, and other drawing tools.
He raised his brush and drew for a while. Then, he began to ask and answer questions again. Li Changshou had some ideas about the great merit in the Netherworld.
Not long after, the sound of water splashing could be heard. Saint Nuwa stepped out of the pool. Her snake tail turned into feet, and her short skirt turned into a golden dress.
Although she was dressed casually and had put away the dignity of a Saint, Saint Nuwa had an indescribable "aura" that emitted a holy glow at all times.
She walked to the newly erected bookshelf at the side and placed the works that she had just obtained into it. She could clearly use her immortal power to do such a small matter easily, but she was especially serious at that moment.
"Goddess, the figure I saw …"
"It's the Lady of Earth, but it's also not the Lady of Earth." Nuwa's voice was filled with regret. "You should know that if living beings gain intelligence, they will have seven emotions …"
Li Changshou paused and immediately thought of something. "Could it be that the Lady of Earth has been affected by the reincarnated living beings?"
"That's right," Saint Nuwa said warmly. "Even if my soul has drunk Meng Po's soup before reincarnating and lost my memories, I will still retain a faint trace of the seven emotions.
The spiritual will of the soul entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but it could not accompany the reincarnation of living beings. Therefore, it left a trace of the seven emotions in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It could be joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, or desire.
It was not that there was something wrong with the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Instead, the Six Paths of Reincarnation operated like that.
When the Lady of Earth decided to transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the ancient times, she had already made such preparations. However, the few of us Saints and the Lady of Earth had underestimated the complexity of the seven emotions of living beings.
After accumulating for a long time, the Lady of Earth's spiritual will almost collapsed. She had no choice but to completely integrate herself into the Six Paths of Reincarnation and could not escape. "
Saint Nuwa paused. At that moment, she had already turned around and leaned against the bookshelf. She opened the first book of a new set of works that Li Changshou had brought over and continued,
"However, living beings are constantly reincarnating, especially after the human race became the main characters of the world. Due to their limited lifespans, the reincarnation of their souls became much more frequent.
However, the human race had the most emotions and desires among the ten thousand races. This undoubtedly increased the burden on the Lady of Earth.
However, she did not complain to the Heavenly Dao. She endured it silently until one day … "
"What?"
"The place where she sealed herself overflowed with the thoughts of the seven emotions. She walked out of the first incarnation of the seven emotions, which is the person you saw, the Lady of Earth's sorrow."
Li Changshou could not recover from his shock for a long time when he heard that. He said in a low voice, "Could it be that this incarnation is suppressed under the eighteen levels of hell?"
"That's right," Saint Nuwa said. "According to what I know, three of the seven emotions have already appeared. Sorrow, hatred, and desire. Sorrow is the most gentle, so it is suppressed under the eighteen levels of hell.
As for hatred and desire, they are bound by the Lady of Earth in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. "
Li Changshou could not help but ask, "What if the incarnations of the seven emotions appear?"
"The Lady of Earth should lose herself and turn from one into seven. Then, her will will collapse." Goddess Nuwa paused. "She will completely transform into the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Dharma artifact. However, that is definitely not a good thing for the Heavenly Dao.
If you can think of a way to help the Lady of Earth survive this crisis, the Heavenly Dao will naturally give you a huge amount of merit. "
Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, "Even the Lord Sage can't do anything about it. What can I do?"
"No, you're different from us." Nuwa continued to flip through the album in her hand, as if she had inadvertently reminded Li Changshou. "Perhaps you're the only one in the Primordial World who has some strange thoughts.
Perhaps that's why the Lady of Earth asked you for help through her sorrow. "
Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked, "The Lady of Earth and the senior who flies in the waves …"
"It's unrelated … Are you going to draw or not?"
"Yes, yes. Goddess, let me sort out my emotions and find inspiration." Li Changshou agreed and lowered his head to get busy.
