Chapter 357: Accidentally Touching the Mechanism and Revealing the True Body

Lingxiang almost forgot that today was the day to deliver the elixir to Demon Lord Boyan, and Wuminjun went to find her because of this matter.

Why would the Demon Lord care where she goes when he has nothing to do? Could she run away? Even if she did, where could she run to? The Tiger Gate was destroyed.

Without thinking too much, Lingxiang could guess the current situation in the world.

Once the Humen Gate is destroyed, the soul will not be able to enter the underworld. Although it can be reborn into the human world through the realm of reincarnation, this will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the underworld.

In the past three years, there has been no new birth in the world, incense has been difficult to maintain, the world is in chaos, and all living things have become extinct.

After each soul enters the underworld, its deeds in life will be settled, and then rewards and punishments will be decided, and finally reincarnation.

Zen Buddhism emphasizes the six realms of reincarnation, but the Taoism that Lingxiang practices is the theory of six bridges.

The so-called Six Bridges are essentially the same as the Six Paths, which is nothing more than the theory of reward for good and punishment for evil. However, the Six Bridges also have differences.

The theory of six bridges has nothing to do with the hell of ghosts.

Before Hou Tu Niangniang incarnated into the six realms, there was no reincarnation in the world. When one thought dies, another thought is born, so there is the saying that the giant Kun turns into the big Peng.

After the underworld was established, it provided a place for living beings to reincarnate, but everything in the world requires rules, so the rules of the Six Bridges came into being.

Those who practice Taoism walk on the golden bridge to become immortals; those who do small good deeds walk on the silver bridge and enjoy incense; those who accumulate merits walk on the jade bridge and enjoy wealth and glory; those who have both merits and demerits walk on the stone bridge and enjoy a comfortable life; those who have more demerits than merits walk on the wooden bridge and suffer from poverty, illness and loneliness; those who have committed many evil deeds walk on the bamboo bridge and may be born as a fetus, an egg, a louse or a transformed being.

Lingxiang doesn't really care about the differences. Firstly, Zen Buddhism and Taoism are from the same sect. Secondly, these so-called great principles can just be read over and over again. There is really no need to trace their origins.

What puzzled her was that the demon world had been lingering in the Netherworld for thousands of years, and the Underworld had ignored it, but now that the Tiger Gate was destroyed, it still did nothing. Why was that?

Never mind. If those underworld gods were useful, the underworld wouldn’t have been overturned in the early years.

It is better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. Just solve it yourself!

The palace where the Demon Lord resides is surrounded by numerous demonic soldiers outside, and no one can enter without being summoned. Inside, there is only a throne that symbolizes the Demon Lord's status, and the rest is just darkness.

However, after Lingxiang came to the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord did have some lights installed in the temple, but they were only scattered everywhere, not much different from the past.

Therefore, every time Lingxiang entered the temple, she had to use the method of spiritual vision to see clearly. Fortunately, she didn't come here often, so for Lingxiang, it didn't matter whether it was bright or dark here.

Whenever I came here in the past, I would always see the Demon Lord sitting alone on the high seat, but this time I didn't see him.

Could it be that he went somewhere to have fun?
This was just Lingxiang's joke. He didn't think the Demon Lord would have that kind of sentiment.

I’m afraid he’s going to harm someone again!
Lingxiang shrugged and was about to put the medicine box on the Demon Lord's seat and leave, but somehow, she sat on it.

Ha! This seat is hard and not very comfortable, but people still fight for it, both in the human world and in the demon world. Why bother?
Ling Xiangxiang curled her lips and jumped down.

She still has Maidong to take care of, so she doesn't have time to care about these things.

But at the moment of jumping down, his hand touched something, and he heard a "click" sound in the dark, and a trace of fluorescent light appeared behind the high seat.

It’s a mechanism!
Why is there a mechanism on the Demon Lord's throne?
Curiosity prompted Lingxiang to touch the handrail she had just touched again. After searching for a long time, she actually found a stone sculpture in an inconspicuous place.

The stone sculpture is not strange, after all, the entire throne is made of stone, but what is strange is that this stone sculpture is very smooth, as if someone has often tinkered with it, making it look out of place.

Lingxiang's eyes lit up.

Could it be that Demon Lord Boyan has some secret that cannot be revealed? If it is something shameful, then she has made a fortune today!

Lingxiang smiled slyly and poked at the stone sculpture without hesitation. Anyway, the Demon Lord was not here now, so what would be the harm in taking a look?
Lingxiang felt inexplicably excited when she thought that the Demon Lord, who always had a stern face, would actually have these little tricks.

Sure enough, after pressing the stone carving, the stone door behind the throne opened wider, and the dim light that came through instantly illuminated the entire hall.

Who knows what treasures might be inside!

Adhering to the principle of "if you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you're a bastard", Lingxiang tiptoed in.

But the scene before her shocked Lingxiang.

The stone chamber is not big, only an inch square, and is surrounded by fireflies planted with Youhe grass, and a glazed coffin is placed in the middle.

This glass coffin was a bit wider than an ordinary coffin. It looked particularly translucent under the reflection of the fireflies in the Youhe River. And inside the coffin lay...

Two people, a man and a woman!

The man looked like a teenager, with a delicate face and dressed in black. He looked rich or noble. The woman was dressed in a plain brocade robe and had an ethereal air. She looked quite noble.

A funeral on a newlywed wedding!
It's a pity.

Lingxiang curled her lips and walked forward to take a closer look, but after seeing the woman's appearance clearly, she was stunned with surprise.

The woman in the glass coffin was actually...

"Mother!"

The facial features were exactly the same as in the painting; it was none other than the Tumi Fairy!

This! How is this possible? !
Lingxiang knew that the tomb of the fairy Tumi in the back mountain of Yuanqing would most likely be a cenotaph, but she didn't expect that her body would be in the demon world! Could it be that...

An idea popped up in her mind, causing Lingxiang to break out in a cold sweat.

Just as Lingxiang was lost in thought, a hand as thick as a dead tree grabbed her neck fiercely, lifted her up suddenly, and threw her out of the stone chamber.

Lingxiang tumbled and fell, and when she came to her senses, she heard the heavy sound of stone slabs, and then she fell into darkness.

She returned to the Demon Lord's palace.

"Who allowed you to break in without permission!" The Demon Lord's gloomy voice came from the darkness, and he sounded very angry.

Lingxiang felt a pain in her throat and could not speak for a while. The footsteps of the Demon Lord echoed in the hall, making Lingxiang unable to tell where he was. She just felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Is it fear?
No! wrong!

It's more like anger than fear.

Lingxiang suddenly remembered that when she was in Zhao Wuyang's Qi Pool, Wan Gu Qiong Cang had said that she was just a half-demon, but he did not say what the "half" meant.

I didn't delve into Lingxiang at that time, but now it seems that my understanding was biased.

A devil is a devil, so how can there be a half-devil?
If this is the case, then everything the Demon Lord did makes sense.

Lingxiang suddenly felt happy again, happy that she was not what she imagined, and that her mother did not do anything out of line.

This is really one comforting thing among so many bad things.
