Chapter 246: Visit the underworld and slap the Arhat
In the Jiuyou underworld, there are cries of ghosts, gloomy winds, and surging underworld.
Qinghe and Chen Ye were held at the front, followed by a group of souls. They were all unlucky ones who were swallowed up by the North Sea. Each of them had a good level of cultivation during their lifetime, and most of them were great monks.
But as the great judge said, no matter what you were like in life, when you come to the underworld, you will be treated equally, whether it is a true immortal or a mortal.
Walking to the city of Fusi, Qinghe and Chen Ye carefully looked at it. The city wall towered into the clouds, and every brick and stone was glowing with faint brilliance.
The city gate was wide open, and on both sides stood ghost soldiers wearing robes and holding their chests high, each with an extraordinary aura, full of ferocity and majesty.
"You all are considered to have died violently, so we will all be detained in the City of Wasted Death first. After the selection of each city is completed, the rest will walk on the Naihe Bridge, look at the Three Life Stones, and go back to the reincarnation!"
The Grand Judge explained calmly, and then nodded to Black and White Wuchang on the side. The two understood each other and released one of the souls, and said with a smile:
"Brother Sun, you don't need to go to the City of Undead. Look back and see what your family members say. If it's suitable, I can recast your body and return it to the sun. If it's not suitable, I can reincarnate with the memories of your past life."
"Thank you." The soul surnamed Sun made a calm salute.
"No problem, no problem. What a big deal."
After saying that, he ordered the ghost soldiers to respectfully invite the living soul to a sedan chair and leave leisurely.
Chen Ye looked at this scene dumbfounded and couldn't help but ask:
"Why can he leave instead of entering this city of vain death??"
Black and White Wuchang glanced at her and said impatiently:
"Where does all this nonsense come from? Someone else's great-grandfather is serving as an immortal official in Dongji Heavenly Court. If you have an immortal official in your family, you can leave too."
As he said that, Hei Wuchang whipped him again:
"Okay, be silent!"
'Snapped! ’
The sound of the whip exploded, and Chen Ye's soul body trembled and swayed, like a candle in the wind, almost extinguished!
She wailed and endured the huge pain, but a look of confusion appeared on her face.
It turns out that this legendary underworld is also about human relationships.
The Grand Judge nodded at this time and was about to escort them all into the City of Fushou to wait for selection by various departments and palaces.
"Mercy, mercy."
When the Sanskrit sound sounded, and a thin Buddhist light shone, the expressions of Black and White Wuchang and the Grand Judge changed, and they turned sideways and saluted:
"I've seen the prison-suppressing Arhat."
Qinghe and Chen Ye also looked sideways, and saw the Arhat walking towards him covered in brilliant golden light. Wherever he went, ghosts and yin energy rushed to escape, leaving nothing but purity under his feet.
"This batch of dead souls were very well cultivated during their lifetimes. Under the orders of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I came here to select two of them."
"Please!" The great judge quickly saluted again.
Although the prison-suppressing Arhat's cultivation is slightly weaker than his own, he has the great Bodhisattva above his head and cannot be ignored.
After the prison-suppressing Arhat chanted the Buddha's name again, he stretched out his hand and pointed:
"Just these two dead souls."
Three question marks appeared on the foreheads of Qinghe and Chen Ye, and it was their two souls that Luohan was referring to.
The Grand Judge glanced at the two souls with pity and waved boldly:
"I'll leave it to the Prison Arhat to take away. Do you want to take a few more dead souls away?"
"No need." The Prison Arhat said calmly: "Qinghe and Chen Ye, come with me, right?"
Qinghe and Chen Ye's expressions changed slightly. How could this Arhat know their nicknames and real names?
Before they could react, with a roll of golden light, they were bound to the prisoner Arhat. The Arhat bowed to the great judge again and was about to turn around and leave.
suddenly.
‘Buzz! ’
In the distance, the gate of hell suddenly swelled, stood tall against the sky, and slowly opened in a spiral.
"That's..." The judge, Wu Chang, Arhat, the dead soul, etc. all looked at them subconsciously, and their expressions all changed.
The dark gate of hell opened wide, and then the sound of neat steps was heard. Heavenly soldiers surrounded by immortal energy lined up on both sides, holding a guard of honor and entering the gate.
Two rows of heavenly soldiers and immortal soldiers played fairy music, silk umbrellas rotated, fairy flowers bloomed, and Qingyun flowed from the ground, spreading out on a long carpet!
"This style" Hei Wuchang's expression changed: "Which big shot from heaven is coming?"
The prison arhat also stamped his feet curiously at this time and looked attentively. Qinghe and Chen Ye, who were bound by the golden light beside them, also completely gave up the idea of escape at this time and looked up with curiosity.
Chen Ye whispered softly:
"It should be the great immortal from the legendary heaven? I couldn't see it during my lifetime. I didn't expect to see such a scene after my death."
"No." Qinghe said in a deep voice: "It's impossible to say which emperor is coming in person with such a ceremony."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden cry of a divine bird that echoed through most of the underworld.
Immediately, under the amazed gazes of countless dead souls and ghost soldiers,
There is a real phoenix flying in from behind the gate of hell, pulling an imperial chariot, the wheels sound like thunder, auspiciousness rises and falls, lotus flowers bloom, and the fresh air flows!
On top of the emperor's chariot, there was a young man sitting, wearing a bronze mask, full of majesty, followed by an old-fashioned Taoist and a child who looked young, on both sides of him.
At this time, two lines of heavenly soldiers' honor guards played fairy music again, accompanied by Qingyun as a blanket, with auspiciousness as the background, and the thunder gradually became melodious!
"What an emperor!" Hei Wuchang exclaimed, "How come you haven't seen this emperor before?"
Qinghe and Chen Ye's eyes widened and they looked hard. It turned out that he was really the legendary emperor of heaven!
Chen Ye sighed softly:
"If you die, you can still see the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor. Hey, it's not a loss if you die."
Qinghe was also alarmed:
"I have only seen descriptions of the Heavenly Emperor in some ancient books, but those descriptions are far less majestic than this. I am afraid that this Emperor who has visited the underworld is extraordinary!"
Both of them accepted their fate, no longer fearful, and communicated with each other.
At this moment, there was a vibration in the depths of the underworld. Ten stalwart figures rose up and walked towards each other, stepping on the void and making rolling thunder!
"Ten Halls of Hell?" The already surprised Prison Arhat raised his eyebrows. Qinghe and Chen Ye also quickly looked sideways after hearing this.
Just then, I saw those ten majestic figures walking over the City of Fusi, each stretching across a sky, each with an immortal aura flowing through them!
Swirl around.
The ten halls of Yama all performed rituals together.
"I've met Emperor Xuanhuang!"
The loud sound spread through the entire Netherworld, shaking some of the dead souls and ghost soldiers and causing them to flip over. Qing He and Chen Ye also felt their ears buzzing and they were dizzy!
The Prison Arhat frowned and whispered to himself:
"Emperor Xuanhuang? How can such an emperor come from the heaven? Let Yama of the Tenth Palace perform the ceremony. The real phoenix pulling the chariot is weird, weird."
At the same time, the emperor's chariot approached, and the emperor wearing a bronze mask said calmly:
"Oh? The imperial seal has just come down and you all already know about it?"
King Qin Guang of the Ten Palaces of Yama made another salute and said with a smile:
"We are all here to greet you on the orders of Emperor Fengdu."
Qinghe and Chen Ye looked at each other with frightened expressions. The former sighed:
"The real phoenix pulls the emperor's chariot, the immortal soldiers serve as guards of honor, and Yama and Luo come together to greet him. This is a real big shot."
"I see." The emperor nodded, as if he understood, and said calmly: "Lead the way, okay?"
The emperor who was sitting on the imperial chariot frowned, as if he had noticed something. As soon as an idea occurred to him, the real phoenix immediately pulled the imperial chariot forward again, and landed on the ground under the gaze of countless awe.
The imperial chariot is getting closer and closer.
Qinghe and Chen Ye looked at the mysterious emperor in black ancient clothes and bronze mask in confusion as he stepped off the imperial chariot.
Swirl around.
Heading towards yourself and others? ?
On the sky dome, the ten gods of Yama also looked at each other in confusion. Under the doubtful gazes of the Grand Judge, Black and White Wuchang, etc.,
Emperor Xuanhuang walked up to the prison Arhat.
"I have met the emperor." Although the Prison Arhat was puzzled, he still bowed respectfully.
"Um."
Lu Xuan responded lightly, but looked at Qinghe and Chen Ye. The old-fashioned Taoist and Nezha also walked over at this time.
The former was okay, but the latter was also stunned when he saw Qinghe and Chen Ye.
"This is my old friend."
Lu Xuan said calmly:
"I took it away."
Old friend? ?
The Ten Palaces of Yama in the sky were surprised, but not far away, the Grand Judge and Black and White Wuchang staggered, feeling cold in their hearts. They shrank their necks at the same time, moved their steps, and moved quietly behind the dead souls.
But the prison arhat frowned, hesitated for a moment, bowed again, and said without being humble or arrogant:
"Returning to the emperor, these two souls are requested by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva by name, and I am afraid they cannot be handed over."
'Snapped! ’
Under the dumbfounded gazes of Qinghe and Chen Ye, the Xuanhuang Emperor raised his hand and slapped the prisoner Luohan away, slamming it heavily against the wall of Wushou City.
Half of his cheek was smashed, and the Arhat's golden body was covered with cracks like fragile porcelain!
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
Emperor Xuanhuang said calmly:
"Let him come and find me personally."
The Prison Arhat coughed up blood and did not dare to say anything. He just gritted his teeth, made a salute, and then dragged his cracked body away.
"Didi-kun!"
At this time, Qinghe hurriedly made a salute, with all kinds of doubts in his heart. Chen Ye also reacted and bowed in the same manner, not daring to say a word, just confused in his heart.
Lu Xuan nodded and said nothing in front of everyone. He just rolled up his sleeves and put the Qinghe Chen Ye into his sleeve robe.
Then he climbed back onto the God's chariot and said calmly:
"Lead the way, I want to visit Emperor Fengdu."
The Yamas of the Tenth Hall looked at each other, nodded in salute, and led the way forward.
Immediately, the real phoenix flapped its wings and pulled the emperor's chariot to hover in the sky. The immortal soldiers holding the ceremonial guard followed silently, not forgetting to play fairy music, swaying the silk and silk umbrellas, celebrating the auspiciousness of the clouds, and scattering fairy flowers on the ceiling.
In the eyes of countless people who were in awe, fear and envy, the emperor rode away in the imperial chariot and disappeared into the depths of the underworld.
For a long time, Hei Wuchang shivered, his eyes frightened:
"Those two living souls are actually the old friends of a great emperor."
The judge and Bai Wuchang on the side also swallowed, their hearts trembling, and they were a little thankful at the same time. Fortunately, the two souls didn't say much.
Otherwise, the great emperor who was personally greeted by Yama of the Ten Palaces would be angry.
………………
"So, Emperor Xuanhuang snatched two living souls away?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression darkened.
He Shi Shiran stood up, and vast chaos energy flowed around his huge body. With every move he made, the chaos energy also rioted, filled with evil and evil.
"Yes, Bodhisattva." The prison-suppressing Arhat coughed up blood again and bowed, "That emperor is very unreasonable."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva frowned, then spoke calmly:
"Interesting, is Emperor Xuanhuang granted the title by Heaven? When did such a person appear in Heaven? Listen carefully, do you know?"
Di Ting, who was curled up beside him, shook his head and sighed:
"I have never heard of him, but I do know his divine name. He is [Heavenly Divine Priest Yuhai Xuanhuang Emperor], but he was granted the title not long ago."
"Really?" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva raised his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "It seems that I haven't heard anything about the outside world for a long time."
As he spoke, he strolled out:
"I will go and see this newly crowned emperor. These two souls interfere greatly and must be in my hands."
"Bodhisattva." Di Ting warned: "This emperor seems to be related to the death of Medicine Master King Buddha. Please be careful."
"No problem." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chuckled: "This is the Nine Netherworlds."
Hear the words, listen carefully and be silent.
Although this great man of my family is said to be a Bodhisattva, in fact, if he does not have the great wish of "I will never become a Buddha until hell is empty\
,"I'm afraid he has already reached the position of [Buddha].
But even so, even though he has not entered the Great Luo, and although he is in the position of a Bodhisattva, he is in the Nine Nethers, and his body is part of the Jiuyou personality. It is his home field, and he is not afraid even if a Great Luo comes.
Otherwise, Bodhisattva would not have been able to compete with Emperor Fengdu for so many years.
………………
outside world.
"Why did you go to Jiuyou?"
The Deng Deng Buddha, who had just arrived at the East China Sea, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then turned towards the gate of hell.
