Celestial Immortal

Chu Chen and Lao Liu are regular visitors to Fengdu's underworld. Although they are not gods of the underworld, it is commonplace for them to enter the underworld.

Not far from Xiaoling Mountain, the two randomly found a cave far away from Buddhist temples, arranged it a little bit, and then set up the altar, summoned the [Earth Letter Seal], opened the earth gate, and went to the Netherworld.

Even though Chu Chen went to the Underworld many times before, but because he was a monk on earth, he was rejected by the Underworld, and the place of teleportation was never accurate, most of them were sent randomly.

However, with Lao Liu who once served as a temporary god in Fengdu, this is not a problem.

Not long after, the two arrived at Luofeng Mountain.

"Lao Liu, you have worked in the Fengdu Difu before, do you have a connection?"

Chu Chen's connections in the underworld are quite good. He knows Marshal Fengdulang Lingguan and Marshal Zhao, the God of Autumn Plague. Both of them are powerful figures in the underworld.

Especially Guan Shuai, who is the general of the army under the command of Emperor Fengdu, guarding Fengdu Hell.

However, the matter of the old monk Chang Kong is not the business of the two great gods.

It is best to find Yama of the Ten Temples.

In the underworld, there are four supreme leaders.

Emperor Fengdu, Emperor Dongyue, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Taiyi Saves Suffering God.

Emperor Fengdu was the supreme ruler, followed by Emperor Dongyue.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun are the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism who are stationed in the underworld to manage the affairs of the gods and ghosts in the Nine Nether Underworld, and to educate the "Nether Lord" of the underworld.

The four great gods are the highest leaders of the underworld, but they do not personally handle various affairs of the underworld, and the real masters are Yama of the Ten Palaces.

Xu Xu, the sixth child, had already guessed that Chu Chen would ask, so he was not surprised at all, and smiled:
"Brother Chu, don't tell me, I really have a chance to talk to Judge Cui and get his flying talisman, so I can contact him."

"Judge Cui?"

Chu Chen was taken aback for a moment. He had heard a lot about the Underworld, the City God's Yin Division, and the judge.

However, he was slightly surprised when he heard about "Judge Cui".

"But Cui Jue, the first judge under King Yan Luo?"

The sixth child nodded: "It's Mr. Cui Fu."

Chu Chen was overjoyed.

Judge Cui is known as the "Chief Judge of the Hell". He is most trusted by King Yama. He is in charge of the "Life and Death Book", in charge of investigating cases and managing life and death.Control the law of Yin, reward the good and punish the evil, hold the book of life and death in the left hand, and the ecstasy pen in the right, to prolong the life of the good and let the evil return to Yin.

It is undoubtedly the best choice to report the "constant sky" matter to Judge Cui.

With a goal in mind, the two went straight to Yan Luotian Palace in Fengdu without delay, and asked to see Judge Cui.

Yan Luo Palace, a side hall.

"Xiao Liu, I heard from Guan Shuai that you have returned to the human world to cultivate, why do you have time to go back to the underworld today, but something happened?"

Judge Cui was wearing a red robe, smiling, and was very kind. At first glance, he couldn't tell that he was a judge of the underworld who had made countless wicked people terrified, but he looked like a kind elder.

Especially when looking at Lao Liu, he is quite kind, just like looking at his own junior, he seems to like Lao Liu very much.

This time, taking the time out of their busy schedules to see the two of them was probably not only for the sake of Emperor Guan, the sixth son who practiced the way of loyalty and righteousness was also an important reason why he was pleasing to the eye.

"Mr. Cui Fu, you are really clever and clever!"

The sixth child saluted with a smile, then pointed to Chu Chen beside him, and recommended:

"Fu Jun, he is my friend Chu Chen, named Taoist Ling Xiao."

Chu Chen immediately cupped his hands: "Pindao has seen Mr. Cuifu!"

"So it's Xiaoyou Chu! Come on, sit down and talk."

Judge Cui ordered the two of them to sit down, then he said with a deep smile:

"This government has heard about you. First, it helped Taiyi Tianzun capture the nine lions, and then it helped Zhao Zhenjun kill the traitor and evil god. You will be feared later."

Chu Chen was a little surprised.

He is so famous in the underworld, he has never met Judge Cui, but others know him.

This made him a little flattered.

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high."

Judge Cui nodded his head. He has outstanding talent and is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He is indeed a good seedling.

After some pleasantries.

Judge Cui's eyes fell on Chu Chen and Lao Liu, he smiled and joked:

"The two of you are looking for me, but something is wrong? Could it be that there is a meritorious service delivered to your door?"

Chu Chen was a little dumbfounded.

He is an enlightened person, inheriting the luck of the two lives, plus the fate of the future, his luck is quite good. At the beginning, Han Chen saw through his luck at a glance, but right now, Judge Cui is obviously very good at predicting his luck. Skills, coupled with his previous "records", this is the reason for this joke.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed something to ask for."

"Oh, tell me!"

Judge Cui, as the "Judge of the Underworld", has always been vigorous and resolute, especially when it comes to serious matters, his expression is serious, and his expression gradually becomes serious.

"Mr. Cuifu, the thing is like this. Today, in an ancient temple deep in the mountains, I met Chang Kong, an old monk with profound Dharma. This man practices Buddhism and protects the people. He looks like an eminent Buddhist monk, but he was actually the abbot of Baiyun Temple a hundred years ago. He encountered a demonic obstacle during his practice and became obsessed with it.

After Mr. Cui Fu roughly listened to the cause and effect, his expression remained unchanged and he asked:
"Little friend Chu, in your opinion, how should the old monk Chang Kong be judged?"

"Naturally beheaded and destroyed, punished to the eighteenth floor of hell!"

Chu Chen blurted out: "Although he was a manslaughter, he sincerely repented and protected the people, but after all, he committed a heinous murder, and the death penalty is inevitable. He deserves to be exterminated, sent to the eighteenth level of hell, suffered and punished, and washed away his sins! "

"Not bad!"

Judge Cui nodded in satisfaction, then asked:

"Chu Xiaoyou, where is he now?"

"After I found out his identity, he felt remorseful. He didn't resist. He wanted to die, to seek an eternal space of extinction. I shot him and severely injured him. However, he didn't do what he wanted. Please judge."

As a practitioner, the perception of "death" is different.

After death, the ghost enters reincarnation. In the eyes of the practice community, this is not considered death, but still in the "reincarnation".

In the next life, he "live" again.

The real death is the annihilation of body and spirit, the annihilation of the true spirit, and even the reincarnation. This is called real "death".

The death that Chang Kong wanted was "annihilation of body and spirit" and "annihilation of true spirit". He was unwilling to come to the underworld to face "crime karma", but still chose to "escape", and what he wanted was to die.

This is also the most "stupid" point in "human nature".

Many people, when something happens, are not even afraid of "death", but dare not face the "fear" in their hearts.

Even though Chang Kong's Dharma is profound and his realm is extraordinary, he can't escape the vulgarity.

Perhaps, it was precisely because he was human and human that he was so remorseful and entangled in remorse and dared not face the sins he had committed.

"Eh~"

Cui Fujun shook his head, quite emotionally:
"It's a pity, he is indeed profound in the Dharma, and his conscience has not yet dissipated, so he has not wasted the teachings of the Buddha. It's a pity that he is a little timid and weak, and he is a bit weak in responsibility. No wonder he was taken advantage of by the demons and made a big mistake!"

"Fujun, although Fellow Daoist Changkong was timid at the critical moment, he also tried hard to make up for it."

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he took out a golden booklet from his sleeve, and handed it to Judge Cui:

"Your Majesty, this is the "Book of Prayer for All Peoples" that he has used his own cultivation and merit to pray for the souls of the dead over the years. Take a look, can this book of blessings increase the life and blessings of the souls of the dead?"

Upon hearing this, Judge Cui took over the "Book of Blessing All Peoples".

After some sizing.

Judge Cui nodded:

"Not bad, not bad! Presumably that Changkong awakened early back then, and didn't completely refine it. With the power of the remnant soul as an introduction, his blessings all these years were not in vain."

Chu Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Then there will be Lord Lao."

Judge Cui is in charge of the book of life and death, prolonging the life of the good and letting the wicked return to the shadows, this business is under his control, as long as the government lord speaks, it will be considered.

"Don't be too happy. The murders he committed back then were too serious. Thousands of people suffered misfortune. They died prematurely for no reason. They lost their lives. After death, their souls and bodies were incomplete. Many people could not have a good pregnancy. At most, it can make up for one or two, if you want to make them live longer, it will be far from it."

Chu Chen cupped his hands: "I also ask the Lord for advice!"

Judge Cui pondered for a while, then said:
"He wants to make up for the dead soul. It's very simple. Let him continue to pray for blessings, do good deeds, accumulate merits, and accumulate negative merits for the dead soul. Go to hell and be punished."

"If you still don't dare to face it and want to extinguish the "Eternal Space" wholeheartedly, then let him fend for himself. If he wants to disperse the true spirit, let him disperse. There is no need to stop him."

"Judge Cui is wise!"

Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.

Judge Cui's verdict coincided with him. He came to the underworld to seek a "compromise" path. On the one hand, he tried his best to find a way to compensate the people who died unjustly in the past, and on the other hand, let Chang Kong be punished and sent to hell , instead of simply dying.

After all, there is still a chance for a monk with great supernatural powers to make up for one or two. It would be a pity to let him die for nothing.

Right now, he came to the underworld to find out the way.

If Changkong is still timid and would rather lose his spirit and form, and his true spirit collapse, than face the facts directly, then he has no choice.

"Thank you Cui Fujun!"

Chu Chen and Lao Liu had achieved their goals on this trip, they were satisfied, and they didn't dare to disturb Judge Cui, who was very knowledgeable.

After thanking you, I planned to leave.

However, just as the two were about to leave, Judge Cui suddenly thought of something and reached out to stop them.

"You two, please stay."

Chu Chen and Lao Liu were a little surprised.

Judge Cui: "By the way, I remember, you two were born in the Dachang world?"

The two nodded, a little curious:
"My lord, what's the matter?"

"There is indeed a thing."

Judge Cui expressed emotion, and said:
"Speaking of which, this matter is a bit similar to Chang Kong, but he is more responsible than Chang Kong."

"More than 20 years ago, in your Dachang, a great Confucian and high-level cultivator failed to cross the catastrophe. Only a remnant soul was left behind. God of the mountain, seeing the remnant soul of Mr. Lang, weary."

At first, Chu Chen didn't pay attention to it. There are many great Confucians in the Dachang world who have overcome calamities and become Taoists, but as Judge Cui described, his expression suddenly became strange.

Great Confucianism Cultivator, 20 years ago, Mountain God.
Although Judge Cui didn't finish speaking, he had the answer in his heart, and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Mr. Qingyun!"

Judge Cui was a little surprised: "Little friend Chu, do you know him?"

"Natural recognition!"

Chu Chen nodded, sighing in his heart:
"To tell you the truth, my master was in charge of the Department of Ghosts and Gods in Xin'an County, Guangping, in the past, and Empress Qingyu was in the hands of my master. I witnessed with my own eyes that my husband used his whole life to practice Taoism to bless the common people."

"There is such a thing! It is destined."

Judge Cui looked overjoyed, and said: "A few years ago, when the jade snake demon was punished in hell, he was reincarnated, and the place of reincarnation is your Dachang world."

Mr. Qingyun reincarnated in Dachang?

Chu Chen was a little surprised.

Speaking of which, after he had the ability to penetrate the dark world, and after he had connections with Emperor Guan and Zhenjun Zhao, he had inquired about it in the underworld. He heard that Mr. Qingyun had been reincarnated, so he didn't continue to inquire.

After all, Mr. Qingyun was a supernatural being close to an immortal, with different ranks and identities. With his connections, it is difficult to find out the specific situation.

Never expected that Mr. Qingyun's reincarnation place is Dachang World.

Of course, he was even more surprised why Judge Cui brought this up suddenly.

Judge Cui smiled, Xu could see that Chu Chen was curious, and immediately explained:

"To tell you the truth, my family and fellow Taoist Qingyun hit it off right away. Over the years, we have exchanged ideas and discussed Taoism, and forged a good friendship. Originally, my family recommended him to Lord Yan, and Yan Luo also admired him very much. He stayed in the Hades as a messenger, and practiced hard to become a God and Dao, but unfortunately, everyone has his own ambition, so he chose to reincarnate."

When Chu Chen heard the words, he suddenly realized.

However, he became more and more emotional.

Mr. Qingyun is really extraordinary, no matter where he is, he can get along well.

Cui Fujun is not an ordinary god of the underworld, he is known as the first judge, he is a powerful figure in Fengdu Difu, he is also a true immortal and god, with a respected status and great magical powers.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Qingyun was appreciated, recognized, and even made friends with Mr. Cuifu.

But, after thinking about it carefully, he is not surprised.

Back then, Mr. Qingyun's remnant soul fell into a coma, and what the bone spirit committed had nothing to do with him. Empress Qingyu provided convenience and help to the bone spirit halfway through, and he didn't know about participating in it. In this case, he still took on everything. , with his lifelong practice of Taoism, he made up for the people of several counties, turning his hometown into a land of outstanding people.

He is not surprised that this kind of courage and temperament can be appreciated by judge Cui and other great gods.

Of course, Chu Chen was also a little curious in addition to emotion, and asked:
"My lord, I don't know how Mr. Qingyun is doing now?"

"The situation is not good!"

Judge Cui shook his head and said with emotion:

"You are the person involved, and you must know that he gave up his whole life's cultivation and burned his accumulation. In addition, he also abandoned his merits and virtues. He was reincarnated. He basically has no blessings in his previous life. After reincarnation, he is far worse than his previous life."

Chu Chen nodded, not surprised at all.

In the previous life, Mr. Qing Yun was a "Wen Qu Xing", a first-class Confucian and Taoist talent in the world, without the blessings of the previous life, it must be incomparable.

"Originally, my lord helped Fellow Daoist Qingyun to make arrangements. When he is successful in cultivation and matures, he will activate Suhui. However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Recently, the government will deduce that he may encounter a catastrophe!"

Encounter catastrophe!

Chu Chen's expression became serious. Immediately, he guessed something, and bowed his hands:
"My lord, what do you mean?"

"To tell you the truth, little friend Chu, this residence wants you to protect Daoist Qingyun, so I wonder if you would like to help this residence?"
