Chapter 1,777 Unclear
An uninvited guest broke the peace in the Ghost Temple and the balance between the master and the apprentice.
Ah Xin stood up suddenly, his eyes piercing, staring at the man in black, Xiao Mian, and stood up slowly.
However, the man in black was dressed in black, and even his face was covered by the wide brim of his hat, so his true appearance could not be seen.
Even so, Xiao Mian did not dare to be careless.
The oppressive feeling brought to Xiao Mian by the person in front of him can be said to be unique in his life - there was only one person before!
That was the second incarnation of the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm who descended from the sky when Zongheng Xianxin passed the calamity and achieved the divine object.
In addition, even the immortal Jin Hong and the demon king Boxun who chased Xiao Mian to the sky and into the earth were not enough.
The bottom of the brim of the man in black's hat was like a black hole.
Slightly tilted, the man in black glanced at Ah Xin, then pointed his face at Xiao Mian and snorted coldly.
A cold snort, a wave of fluctuations.
The cold air filled the entire Ghost God Temple, and the Ghost God Temple was instantly frozen from the outside to the inside!
The gray black ice continued to freeze, and the entire Ghost God Temple was filled with a creaking sound that made people's teeth ache.
The black ice ignored the man in black and continued to freeze Xiao Mian and Ah Xin who were heading towards the center of the Ghost God Temple.
Ah Xin wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Xiao Mian.
"Ah Xin! Don't be rude!" As he spoke, Xiao Mian's green shirt swayed, and the Three Pure Gods burst out.
Where the Three Pure Gods passed, the black ice stopped.
The entire Ghost God Temple was frozen inside and outside, with only two exceptions - the man in black and Xiao Mian!
"Three Pure Gods?" The man in black spoke like a thread, as if he would die at any time. Although the man in black's face could not be seen, his words still revealed a strong sense of surprise. After a moment of silence, the man in black asked: "It's you who is causing trouble to the netherworld with the formless heart demon?"
The formless heart demon!
Unexpectedly, the man in black started to ask for culpability as soon as he opened his mouth, and the spearhead was directly pointed at Wuxiang Heart Demon and Xiao Mian.
Even Xiao Mian was a little surprised when he heard this - the other party actually saw through Wuxiang Heart Demon's details!
"Don't be surprised! Although Wuxiang Heart Demon is secretive, if you don't want others to know, you must not do it yourself. Among the ten Yama Kings in the Netherworld, one is the incarnation of the Heavenly Demon King of the Demon Realm!"
After explaining the flaws of Wuxiang Heart Demon, the man in black kept silent and looked at Xiao Mian, as if waiting for Xiao Mian to explain.
Xiao Mian thought deeply, just for this opportunity!
At this point, Xiao Mian has confirmed the identity of the other party - this man in black must be one of the ten Yama Kings!
Comparing Xiao Mian's contact with the Ghost Emperor of the Spirit Realm, the person in front of him is much stronger than the Ghost Emperor of the Spirit Realm, and they are completely incomparable.
Although the Ghost Emperor back then was just a projection, the man in black in front of him is not the real Yama King.
Otherwise, even if Xiao Mian had three heads and six arms, he would not dare to plot and tease the great master of the underworld.
"Yan Junrong: I have three requests!"
"Speak!"
"Yes!"
Straightening his back, Xiao Mian told all the three things he had said to Ah Xin before.
From beginning to end, the man in black did not say a word.
Until Xiao Mian finished speaking, the man in black raised his head.
In the black hole under the brim of his hat, two cold stars flickered.
"Have you finished speaking?"
"Have you finished speaking!"
"Okay! Let me ask you: Who gave you the audacity to plot against me and threaten me!?"
As he spoke, the black ice inside and outside the Ghost God Temple melted instantly, but the temperature of the Ghost God Temple did not rise but fell.
A layer of ice light continued to attack Xiao Mian.
The Three Pure Lights around Xiao Mian were constantly squeezed, and the range of protection of the Three Pure Lights continued to shrink.
Xiao Mian stretched out his hand and pulled Ah Xin, putting him into the fairy stone space, and the Three Pure Lights shrank to cover the body surface.
At the same time, the Hunyuan Golden Body quietly started.
With the Three Pure Ones Holy Body as the way and the Hunyuan Golden Body as the method, Xiao Mian's body turned into a green mountain.
The Three Pure Ones Holy Stone - Sanqing Mountain!
Using the "Ten Thousand Poisons Curse" to manifest Sanqing Mountain, Xiao Mian stood tall and unmoved.
Let's talk about the heavy black ice, which is the Netherworld Ice Soul.
Ice is made of water and is colder than water.
The Five Elements Avenue, earth overcomes water!
Whether in the world of the living or in the underworld, the physics of yin and yang and the five elements, different paths lead to the same destination, and different methods work the same way.
The black-clothed man pushed the Netherworld Black Ice to the extreme, trying to give Xiao Mian a horse.
Xiao Mian stood still like a mountain.
On Xiao Mian's body, the Netherworld Black Ice kept attacking, trying to break through Xiao Mian's Three Pure Ones Divine Light, but it couldn't.
With the blessing of the Three Pure Ones Holy Body, the power of the Three Pure Ones Divine Light doubled, supporting the righteous and avoiding evil, and all evils were not invaded.
The man in black was a little surprised. Although the Three Pure Ones' divine light was rare, it was still common after all. However, the Three Pure Ones' holy body was the supreme way to become a saint in the flesh.
Humph!
Let me see how tough your life is!
The man in black changed his mind, and the gray Netherworld Mysterious Ice suddenly melted and turned into a pool of black ink.
Xiao Mian was stunned when he saw it, and then his face changed slightly.
What a domineering - Lord of the Underworld!
I have something to ask of you, so I'm being humble. Do you really think I'm afraid of you, the uninvited guest?
Feeling indignant, Xiao Mian waved his hand casually.
A stream of ice and fire passed by, and a blood dragon of ice and fire rose into the air and lingered around Xiao Mian.
For a while, the black water and blood water neutralized each other...
The blood water that Xiao Mian took out was not his own, but the real dragon spirit blood from the Ice and Fire Demon Dragon.
With the foundation of the Ice and Fire Demon Dragon, its real dragon spirit blood contains an enormous vitality.
Today, this vitality is disappearing rapidly.
That black water is not ordinary!
The black water is called the dead water of the Styx, which is the holy water of the underworld extracted from the deepest river bed of the Styx.
The stagnant water of the Styx can swallow up all life!
Even the ghostly creatures in the underworld are nothing but a pile of lifeless matter in front of the stagnant water of the Styx.
The moment the Netherworld Ice turned into the stagnant water of the Styx, Xiao Mian lost a year of his life.
From this we can see how dangerous the stagnant waters of the Styx are!
Now, the true dragon spiritual blood of the ice and fire dragon and the stagnant water of the Styx are in a stalemate.
The competition between the two sides is who can last longer.
It's just that this time, Xiao Mian was not used to the man in black - with a thought in his mind, he slashed out with his sword.
The God-killing Sword - Sanqing Dharma Sword!
Opening the way with a finger of ice flames, he rushed into the true dragon spirit blood of the Ice and Fire Demonic Dragon, and saw a palm-sized Ice and Fire Demonic Dragon reborn from the blood, and threw himself into the stagnant water of the River Styx.
Before the life force was exhausted, the ice and fire dragon exploded.
Under the impact of ice and fire spiritual energy, a hole was opened in the stagnant water of the Styx that originally enveloped Xiao Mian.
Sanqing Magic Sword took the opportunity to attack and directly attacked the man in black.
The man in black looked solemn.
As early as when Xiao Mian condensed the Three Purities Magic Sword, the man in black's expression changed slightly; when the ice flame finger broke through the stagnant water of the Styx, the man in black's expression changed again and again; when he saw the Three Purities Magic Sword charging towards him, the man in black's expression changed slightly. The Yiren's expression returned to calm.
The Sanqing Sword passed by and the man in black disappeared.
Only half of the dark hat brim was cut by the sword energy of the Sanqing Sword and fell from mid-air to the ground.
A snapping sound shocked the entire Ghost Temple.
After falling to the ground, half of the brim of the hat was still spinning.
At the same time, the dead water of the Styx River gradually dissipated, and Xiao Mian also put away the Sanqing Divine Light and Hunyuan Golden Body.
The next moment, the man in black appeared in front of Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian looked like he was smiling but not smiling.
Sure enough, they are carved from the same mold!
Because half of the brim of the hat was missing, the face of the man in black was revealed to the sky for the first time.
The same appearance, the same figure, the same demeanor, the same grace, the same charm...
The person in front of me looks like another Ashin!
The only difference is a ray of anger!
Axin was born with a ghostly body and practiced the "Nine Deaths and Life Mysterious Skills". Despite this, he was still a living person.
A ray of vitality that never ceases.
On the other hand, the man in black was lifeless!
The man in black standing in front of Xiao Mian was lifeless, with no body temperature, heartbeat, or pulse.
Xiao Mian secretly observed with his spiritual eyes and found that the person standing in front of him was not a person at all.
It was a black and boundless mass of death!
The man in black snorted coldly as soon as he opened his spiritual eyes.
"Hmph! Just because I want to put things to rest doesn't mean I can let you do whatever you want. Don't be presumptuous!"
"...Yan Jun has misunderstood!" Xiao Mian suddenly stopped looking at the spirit and said eloquently: "There is a slight misunderstanding, but Yan Jun please don't take it to heart. Let's get back to the business!"
"How do you want to talk?"
"What did Mr. Yan think of the three things before?"
"The first thing is, I can promise you!"
"What about the second thing?"
"The second matter involves Buddhism and several other Lords of Hell in the Netherworld. It is a bit troublesome to deal with it."
"It's a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible?" Xiao Mian keenly grasped the implication of the man in black, and said to himself calmly: "The fairy world is above Jiutian, and the demon world is lurking in Jiuyou, and these two worlds Monks have a long life and will not perish easily. Only the great spiritual world is the most closely related plane to the Netherworld!"
"That's right! Ninety-nine percent of the dead souls in my Netherworld Underworld are collected from the spirit world. Because of this, the relationship between the Netherworld Underworld and the spirit world is quite unclear."
The man in black frankly admitted Xiao Mian's guess.
"I dare to ask Lord Yan: What is the covenant that the great master of Buddhism made with the underworld?"
"This is not something your kid can know!" He flatly dismissed Xiao Mian's question, and the man in black revealed another secret: "I can only tell you one thing: in my netherworld, there is a Buddhist cultivator, who is related to It’s different!”
"who?"
"Ksitigarbha!"
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
Xiao Mian looked shocked when he heard this.
Being patient and unmoving is like the earth, and meditating deeply is like a secret treasure. Therefore, it is called the ground treasure. This is a great virtue in Buddhism.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva are as famous as each other. They are also known as the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism. They are second only to the Buddha Sakyamuni with great supernatural powers.
"Ksitigarbha, since being banned ten thousand years ago, has been sent by the Buddha to enter the underworld, and it has been till now. For these ten thousand years, I have been in seclusion and have no interest in worldly affairs. I only know that the former Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been called the King of Ksitigarbha!"
"After the ban ten thousand years ago? Such a coincidence? Ksitigarbha? Haha! It seems that there is another king in the Netherworld?"
"This is impossible! There are only ten Yamas in the Netherworld. This is the law of the Netherworld! Therefore, if Ksitigarbha becomes king, the Tenth Yamas must make adjustments."
"Which Yan Jun is most likely to be replaced?"
"The Lord of the Reincarnation of Yama—that is, I am the Lord!"
"..."
Xiao Mian was silent after hearing this.
There was silence in the Ghost Temple.
But it was the man in black who was the instigator, the Wheel of Hell, who was the first to break the silence...
"Originally, my heart is dead, the three worlds are in turmoil, and the two worlds are subverted, which means nothing to me! But..."
"Yan Jun doesn't know 'him' exists either?"
“…, I don’t know!” Lord Yama shook his head slowly and said to himself: “He is not my direct bloodline, but should be the bloodline of my later generations—the great inheritance of the previous generation!”
“Great inheritance of the previous generation? So that’s it!”
The so-called great inheritance of the previous generation means that a certain generation of descendants in the later generations suddenly awakens the power of the ancestor’s bloodline.
The generation may be one generation, or it may be ten generations, a hundred generations or even more...
Although it is impossible to determine which generation of descendants of Lord Yama in the later generations, Ah Xin has awakened the supreme bloodline inherited from Lord Yama, because the Lord Yama who appeared in front of Xiao Mian is also a ghost body in the underworld.
Ten thousand years ago, Lord Yama met a female cultivator.
The female cultivator was not an ordinary person, but a ghost fairy from the fairy world, who came to the underworld to inspect the underworld.
Lord Yama was responsible for the reception.
After a few visits, the two of them secretly fell in love.
However, the heavenly rules are as strong as iron, and the heavenly rules are as strict as laws. The union of the two ended in disharmony, and both sides suffered.
The King of Hell was so disheartened that he closed himself off.
The whereabouts of the fairy ghost fairy who was secretly pregnant were unknown. Now it seems that she should have been trapped in the forbidden barrier!
Only in this way, a trace of the blood of the King of Hell was left in this forbidden world...
"Since there is already a Ksitigarbha from Buddhism in the Netherworld, then things will be easy!"
"You kid! Can you control Ksitigarbha with the formless heart demon?" Looking directly at Xiao Mian, the King of Hell warned grimly: "Although the formless heart demon is domineering, you are too weak!"
Xiao Mian heard this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Today, Xiao Mian is invincible in the world!
However, it is not the first time that Xiao Mian has been ridiculed for being "too weak" in person - the King of Hell in front of him is only the second one, and the first one to ridicule Xiao Mian is Hou Tu Qiling.
It's no wonder that Hou Tu's spirit and Lun Zhuan Yan Jun were arrogant, they were telling the truth - Xiao Mian was too weak!
At least for them, Xiao Mian was too weak...
Don't think that Xiao Mian could stand firm in front of Lun Zhuan Yan Jun, but this was created by the special environment.
Once he arrived in the netherworld, the black-clothed man in front of him would make Xiao Mian live a life worse than death with just one look!
Xiao Mian, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, was like a three-year-old child.
But Xiao Mian was not in a hurry!
In this world, Xiao Mian had reached his limit and upper limit. Only by changing the environment could Xiao Mian have a new breakthrough, advance to a higher realm, master stronger strength, and then, from a weak person to a strong person!
One day, Xiao Mian will be able to sit on the same level as the extremely powerful Lun Zhuan Yan Jun!
"I can't do much in this forbidden world. Fortunately, there are still three hundred years before Kasyapa's nirvana. I will ascend to the spirit world in sixty years..."
"So what?" Listening to Xiao Mian's words, the always cold King of Hell broke the ice and laughed: "Even if you can ascend to the spirit world! In just three hundred years, how far do you want to grow? I'm afraid it's good enough to be lucky enough to survive? Even if you successfully refine the void, what can you do? That Ksitigarbha is a Mahayana cultivator!"
"..."
Xiao Mian was speechless after hearing this.
But the next moment, Xiao Mian suddenly felt relieved.
Kasyapa's nirvana is related to Xiao Mian's plan, but it will not affect Xiao Mian's ascension.
As Du Zun said: Man proposes, God disposes!
After suddenly becoming enlightened, Xiao Mian changed his mindset.
"Lord Yama! The second thing, we still have three hundred years, we can make a long-term plan." Facing the rotating Lord Yama, Xiao Mian asked: "I wonder about the third thing..."
The third thing is about Xiao Mian's parents!
Upon hearing this, the rotating Lord Yama interrupted Xiao Mian's words.
"No!"
"What?" Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this. Before this, Xiao Mian and Ashin always thought that this was the simplest thing!
Xiao Mian's parents were a pair of mortals.
Xiao Mian always thought: To investigate the death of two mortals, he didn't even need to use the rotating Lord Yama!
The Black and White Impermanence could help him!
Unexpectedly, the rotating Lord Yama rejected it outright.
"Although I have been in seclusion for ten thousand years and have not been concerned with worldly affairs, I have always made plans before taking action. Before I came to see you this time, I had ordered the civil and military judges to find information about you."
"..., how is it?"
"You are still a living person, not on the record in the underworld, and as for your parents, the information is vague."
"Vague? What do you mean?"
"I thought the civil and military judges were deceiving me, and even went to the Hall of Life and Death in person to browse the Book of Life and Death."
"What was the result?" Xiao Mian, who thought he had cultivated to the point where he would not be startled even if the sky fell, was quite uneasy.
"The result is still unclear!"
"Is it useless even if Lord Yan comes to help? With Lord Yan's identity, what went wrong?"
"There are two possibilities! First, your parents have special identities, such as Golden Immortals and Heavenly Demons, and have cultivated to the realm of almost no lifespan, and their names will disappear from the Book of Life and Death; second, there are Supreme Beings who are higher than Golden Immortals and Heavenly Demons who have taken action to cover up their information."
Hearing this, Xiao Mian fell into silence again...
"Boy! Be careful!" While Xiao Mian was silent, Lord Yan turned and warned him: "A similar thing happened once a hundred thousand years ago. At that time, the fluctuations derived from this incident even caused turmoil in the three realms!"
"One hundred thousand years ago? Zongheng Xiandi!"
"..., that's right!"
"May I ask Lord Yan, what happened back then?"
"Hmph! How dare you!" As he shouted coldly, the black clothes on the body of the Rotating King of Hell rustled, and his aura continued to rise. He looked directly at Xiao Mian and shouted: "Boy! Don't be too presumptuous! I'm not here to answer all your questions!"
Xiao Mian's face changed slightly, and his figure shook.
The King of Hell is indeed extraordinary!
Fortunately, since Xiao Mian dared to face the King of Hell through Ah Xin, he naturally had his support.
Xiao Mian's greatest support has always been the Zongheng Immortal Heart!
Under the powerful strength of the Rotating King of Hell, Xiao Mian took the opportunity to release the Zongheng Immortal Heart to resist in front of him.
The strong underworld Yin wind spread from the black clothes of the Rotating King of Hell and rushed in front of Xiao Mian.
A piece of immortal stone, immovable as a mountain.
Xiao Mian behind the immortal stone was like an unshakable green pine.
The Rotating King of Hell changed color when he saw it, and his eyes stared at the Zongheng Immortal Heart, and a pair of eyeballs burst with brilliance.
The next moment, the King of Hell calmed down.
The dark wind from the underworld that filled the entire Ghost God Temple disappeared, and there was even some warmth in the Ghost God Temple.
It was the King of Hell who sighed quietly...
"Old friend! Long time no see, how are you?"
