An evolutionary game starting from Suolongjing

The Underworld——

As one of the two concepts that are most profound in the minds of the thousands of people in the Nine Provinces, along with the Heavenly Palace, its essential structure is not like the nested hell model described in the Lingshan Buddhist Scriptures, nor is it completely the giant city described in the Taoist biography.

Of course, it cannot be said that the stories in the classics and passed down by word of mouth are completely wrong.

It can only be said that anyone who writes books will inevitably add his own subjective consciousness to the book, and the difference is nothing more than how much. For the two sects, such as Lingshan and Taoism, the descriptions of their related myths are more focused on their own perspectives. Those that will affect their own foundations are mostly passed over in a few words with the Spring and Autumn style, and especially those involving the other party will be deliberately described in thick ink or directly ignored.

In this way, the deliberately one-sided records of the two families also make the Underworld reveal a little mystery in the rumors of the outside world.

In fact, the truly complete Underworld is a structure like a honeycomb.

With the main area of ​​the underworld in the lower plane of the underworld corresponding to the heaven in Jiuzhou as the center, the three huge monsters surrounding the underworld, Huangquan Road, Wangchuan River, and Six Paths of Reincarnation, are used as threads to connect the small underworlds in various planes of Pan Jiuzhou. They are crisscrossed and closely connected. Countless dots form this behemoth that looks like a honeycomb and a spider web.

With Fengdu Emperor sitting in the middle, the Five Directions Weird Emperor sitting in the Five Directions Gate to divide the area and govern, and Luofeng Liutian guarding Fengdu Emperor to operate and mediate all parties.

There is also a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at the same level as Luofeng Liutian, but since the failed salvation a hundred years ago and the subsequent closure of Lingshan, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's temple has begun to become empty, and the evil and weird people who were originally influenced by Buddhism have lost control again. Although there is a Bodhisattva temple to suppress them, it is not a long-term thing after all.

In this way, Zongling Qifei Tiangong and Gansi Lianwanlu Tiangong jointly took action to capture the tens of millions of evil and resentful souls and brought them back to the underworld. They should be tried and judged.

First, the Bodhisattva was lost, and then the soul was lost. The once prosperous Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva temple gradually declined. If nothing unexpected happens, after a thousand or hundred years, the world will completely forget this compassionate venerable.

And in the underworld where time flows faster, the speed of forgetting will only be faster.

Under the six heavens, there are the well-known Ten Halls of Hell.

However, as a latecomer and imported product, the Ten Halls of Hell, although they were famous in the dynasties after the Song Dynasty, and once competed with the Emperor of Fengdu for power in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, their status was actually lower than the previous three.

In the order of the power of the gods in Feiling Mountain, the Emperor of Fengdu, the Five Directions Weird Emperor, and the Six Heavens (Palaces) of Luofeng, it was the turn of the Ten Halls of Hell to take the stage.

In fact, if we ignore the overly inflated status, as the middle and high-level of the underworld, and the position of the gods that have no replacement, the Ten Yama Palaces are already quite good. Moreover, they only have a weaker voice in the underworld of Jiuzhou. If they are replaced in other worlds of the pan-Jiuzhou, which one of the Ten Yama Palaces is not the top existence.

Although the Emperor of Fengdu has the habit of inspecting the four directions, unless there is a great injustice or dereliction of duty, the emperor will not interfere with the decision-making of the Yama Palaces under normal circumstances.

In this way, the Ten Yama Palaces guard the secondary underworld of the main plane of each dynasty respectively.

The Six Case Gongcao, on the other hand, is sent to various sub-timelines and planes with too little inspiration; and the Judge's Office where the four well-known judges are located is like Meng Po in the Samsara Department, and their figures can be seen in every world of Jiuzhou.

At the same level, there is also the system of city gods belonging to the underworld. Except for a few national city gods and figures that inevitably rise with the passage of time, the Yin gods in this part are not very fixed and do not have uniqueness. They are basically civil officials and generals of the local dynasty, and well-known people.

The ten Yin Shuai, Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Headed Horse-Face, Day and Night Swift Travel, etc. are all classified into one category. Except for the Yin Shuai of the chief general who often wanders around various underworlds to perform their duties, most of them travel between the underworld and the human world at night and hide during the day. They are well-known as soul-collecting messengers, city god subordinates, etc.

In addition to the main gods and attached gods of each department and hall, the underworld also has a huge system of Yin gods, strange messengers, and Yin soldiers, but the number of these alone is in the tens of millions. Unless they are acquaintances, most people only call them by their positions. Even if they meet a slightly more legitimate magician from the Lingshan Taoist sect, they, as Yin gods, have to give these mortals respectful treatment in return.

As for the Lord of Mount Tai, there is no need to say anything.

This detached man, like the Emperor Hou Tu, is the second in command of the underworld. After the construction of the underworld was completed, his appearance time in the underworld became shorter and shorter. On weekdays, all his affairs were entrusted to the Emperor Fengdu to handle.

And with him, there was also the God Hou Tu who entrusted the miscellaneous affairs to the Lord of Mount Tai.

The work was divided layer by layer, and it was like a pile of eggs. Although his ranking among the emperors was not low, the Emperor Fengdu was definitely the most miserable one among the emperors in the heaven and underworld.

Of course, thinking from another perspective, the emperor and the emperor were not in charge of the affairs, and it was actually a pleasure for the prince to become the executive vice emperor.

Under such an orderly and clear structure, the underworld has been running safely for tens of millions of years.

But the so-called safety was limited to the underworld from beginning to end.

As we all know, as a lower plane formed by the negative desires, sins and souls of living beings, the underworld was born earlier than the underworld.

The Netherworld was built after the gods returned to their positions in the Heavenly Court, and the war between the gods and demons ended. It was completed in the Han Dynasty, and the three kingdoms on earth were fighting each other.

The former has been conceived since the day Jiuzhou was born, and with the continuous accumulation of the first three elements, the area of ​​the Netherworld is also increasing day by day. To this day, the Netherworld is still expanding in an orderly manner, and its border area has long exceeded the constraints of the material plane.

The mismatched birth time also made the Netherworld a safe haven for those losers in the material plane of Jiuzhou in the long years before the construction of the Netherworld. Among them, there are also many native species in the Netherworld, ancient creatures who went to the Netherworld on their own, and those barbarians who gave up the past and concentrated on surviving.

It is a bit too much to say that there are demons everywhere, but apart from Fengdu Emperor and the Five Ghost Emperors who need to guard the gate, whether it is Yin God, lonely ghosts, or even various strange people and things that need to come to the underworld, they dare not say that they can come and go freely in the netherworld outside the underworld area, because there is no guarantee that an old monster left over from the Xia and Shang dynasties or even the wilderness will pop out from any corner.

But how can others sleep soundly beside the bed?

Like the dynasties in the material world, the underworld has never stopped fighting against foreign countries since the day it was established. It has been intermittent, with wins and losses, but because it has a good brother, the Heavenly Court, and a big backer, and the underworld is not affected by the rise and fall of the human dynasty, the priesthood has been expanded again and again. In general, the underworld that can shake people wins more in terms of war, and because of this, the area of ​​the underworld has been expanded again and again.

To this day, the area controlled by the underworld alone is nine times the area of ​​the three dynasties of Han, Tang and Yan in the material world combined.

But such a vast area has not yet touched the expanding borders of the underworld. To this day, no one knows how many defeated generals and six-day ghosts are hidden in the depths of the underworld outside the underworld.

"Why are there so many lonely ghosts and wild ghosts wanting to enter the underworld recently?"

At the north ghost gate, on the majestic Luofeng Mountain, a huge palace complex with a black and red color stretches from the top of the mountain to the waist of the mountain. Although there are pavilions and towers, there are more organized barracks, battlefields, and hunting grounds.

Under the dim light of the black sun in the underworld, you can vaguely see from the white mist floating in the mountains that pale men wearing ancient armor and wearing soldiers are wielding swords and guns, as if they are training.

On the top of Mount Luofeng, in the tallest and most majestic palace, a table that was like a city wall on earth occupied most of the palace space. Pieces of bamboo slips as big as beds were piled up on the table, and the highest point almost touched the beams.

The Yin messengers and the gods walked through it, carrying or holding pieces of bamboo slips and placing them on the unfilled places on the table.

And under the towering table, there were more than a dozen judges, several city gods, and nearly a thousand Yin gods, big and small, busy at the table. During the review and trial, there were sometimes a few green-faced and fanged criminals who dragged a vicious criminal to the judge. After just a few words, the latter burst into tears and complained.

It happened that at this time, a sigh suddenly came from behind the table in the middle of the palace, which stood like a mountain: "Go, ask someone to invite the three Yin generals, Leopard Tail, Hornet, and Bird Mouth. I want to see what these Yin generals do. How can they sit back and watch such a disaster happen without reporting it when they go back and forth between Yin and Yang all day long?"

"If you can't do it, then go to hell and be a criminal. There are many Yin gods who want to climb up in the underworld! "

The sound behind the desk exploded in the palace like thunder, and the rippling echoes rolled up a violent storm, blowing the pages of the documents on each Yinshen desk continuously, and the ink flew. For a moment, I didn't know how many documents suffered the disaster.

However, no one dared to complain about this situation. They all looked at the nearest table and chair under the desk.

Seeing this scene of people looking sideways, Taiyin Tianjun was a little flattered.

How unlucky he was. Taiyin Tianjun, who was in charge of the thirty-six prisons of Luofeng Mountain, usually supervised all matters in the thirty-six prisons. It was just the documents accumulated recently. Too many people habitually show their faces in front of their bosses while sending people back, but who would have thought that they would encounter such a thing.

He didn't want to get involved in these things, but he had to.

Feeling a cold gaze cast down from the towering table behind him, sweeping across the entire palace like a biting cold wind, Taiyin Tianjun, who was forced to do something, could only bite the bullet and stand up, bowing and saying: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I know a little about this matter. The soul breaking through the barrier has been like this for decades. You also ordered that the deaths and injuries related to that person do not need to be reported to the authorities in the future, and the three Yin generals are not to blame."

"Really? "

The current Northern Ghost Emperor - Yang Yun looked thoughtful, as if there was indeed such a thing.

Except for the Southern Ghost Emperor who was held by one person, the other four Ghost Emperors were held by two people each, and they changed positions every three thousand years, and they have changed positions nearly a hundred times.

The last shift change was two hundred years ago, and what he said decades ago would not be forgotten so quickly, but those who are in power rarely make any obvious mistakes. Moreover, if he remembered correctly, there were many dead souls when Emperor You was rampant, but it was not like the recent months, when nearly one million lonely ghosts passed through Luofeng Mountain in one day. With his eyesight, he could even see through Luofeng Mountain to the boundary between Yin and Yang and even some places in the human world.

The souls that poured into Luofeng Mountain like rivers and streams were numerous at a glance, which was at least ten times more than the grand occasion when he issued the order before.

Can this situation be concealed?

Besides, he is a dignified and dreadful emperor, and he is tied to the palace and handles official documents like cattle and horses. Do you think this is good?

He wanted to curse, but after staying in the underworld and sitting in Luofeng Mountain for many years, the Northern Emperor had long forgotten the elegant words he learned from Xiyue in the Emperor's crash course more than 30 years ago.

"Even so, this abnormality has to be investigated. Take my token to Zhang Heng for leniency and ask him to send the six demon kings to patrol the human world. If there are any big demon kings causing trouble, they will be allowed to eat!"

"."

As he spoke, cold sweat slowly seeped out of Taiyin Tianjun's forehead.

Although nominally, these six things are the lower gods of His Taiyin Tianjun, each in charge of a department to assist Him in managing the thirty-six hells of Luofeng Mountain, but in fact, these six are lawless demon kings, purely fighting evil with evil, using absolute evil to force those evil ghosts who were intercepted by Luofeng Mountain to atone for their sins.

Of course, this method of fighting evil with evil is not uncommon in the underworld. The two generals Zengsun and Sunsun under the command of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are relatively well-known to the public. In comparison, the name of the Six Heavenly Demon King is not so loud, but this does not mean that the Six Heavenly Demon King is weaker than the two generals Zengsun and Sunsun.

Even putting aside the strength, purely in terms of means, the latter is at most a person who kills but does not bury, and eats some evil ghosts, but the Six Heavenly Demon King who is in charge of the prison can do a lot of tricks.

Let these guys go to the human world to wreak havoc, although they dare not harm the human race and those innocent creatures, but those big and small demons will suffer a lot!

It can be seen from this that the Northern Emperor was really angry.

But he couldn't persuade him. After all, the surging strange tide in Luofeng Mountain was indeed strange, and the Yin God sent by the underworld had not returned yet. Maybe something big happened?

But the strange thing is that until now, there has been no decree from the Emperor of Fengdu, and there has been no movement in the Heavenly Court, which is in charge of the human world.

With a heart full of doubts, Taiyin Tianjun said respectfully: "Your Excellency."

"Boom!"

Before Taiyin Tianjun finished speaking, a violent impact instantly swept Luofeng Mountain. The violent vibration directly triggered the protection of the Northern Weird Gate. A large amount of Netherworld Qi mixed with the incense of the Northern Emperor turned into a figure covering the sky in the sky.

"Hmm?"

"How dare you break into the underworld?"

Accompanied by an angry shout behind the table, the figure suppressing the hurricane in the sky instantly turned from virtual to real, and the Beidi Dharma image, which expanded again, almost stood in the underworld with a posture of standing tall.

There was no need for any prompts. The strong light that almost tore the entire sky on the west side of the underworld apart and emitted a dazzling and dazzling light like the sun attracted the attention of Taiyin Tianjun at the first time.

Sun?

Why did the Sun Star Lord come to the underworld when he had nothing to do?

He was still trying his best to open the Dharma image. Wasn't he afraid that the Yin Gods would go to the Lingxiao Palace to complain about him?

That shouldn't be the case. Those gods and ghosts in the heaven and underworld who later became the true gods might be beaten for no reason, but the existence of Jiuyao's level would never commit such a bastard.

But the meaning of burning everything and shining in all directions could not be false.

"."

Or maybe it was not the Star Lord but the Emperor.

In a hurry, an idea popped up in Taiyin Tianjun's mind: This is not a stage prepared for that monkey. The underworld is really going to be messed up!

Afterwards, he saw the Northern Weird Emperor who had put away his Dharma image and sat back at the desk to handle official business. The solemn and serious look on his face made it difficult for him to compare him with the huge existence who was so happy that he was about to fly and was ready to fight.

At the same time, the Weird Gate under the jurisdiction of the Western Weird Emperor - Mount Dangzhong.

The emperors who jumped out of the hall one after another looked at the figure that tore the Netherworld sky and exuded a breath of destruction and fell into a long silence.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. As long as the Mount Dangzhong is still there, no soul can pass the checkpoint and go deep into the underworld. It's just some odd jobs. We can transfer some people to repair it later!"

"I think the same thing. In that case, you should continue to be on duty. Maybe it's because I'm old recently. I always feel exhausted after a shift. I'll go back to sleep first and have someone wake me up next time!"

"."

"This thing is right on our territory. Can you still sleep? Zhao Wenhe, can you still have some shame?"

For the low curse behind him, the Western Weird Emperor nodded his head, as if he was really sleepy and couldn't open his eyes.

Just kidding, this scourge even makes the emperors in the sky have to be careful, for fear that the young and energetic will beat the old. How can he argue with this angry guy? If he really gets hit by two axes, let's not talk about whether it is a work injury. Anyway, he will definitely not be able to recover without hundreds or thousands of years.

Even if it was his territory of the Dangzhong Mountain that was torn apart, and the falling sun instantly boiled tens of thousands of evil and resentful souls lingering outside the mountain, it would not be a problem for him.

There is no way, the off-duty people are so righteous and strong!

In just a blink of an eye, Zhao Wenhe, wearing the emperor's robe, disappeared, leaving only Master Wang, a treacherous emperor, to face the storm brought by the disaster of the Nine Provinces.

At the same time, the gap in the sky was torn to its extreme, and the figure who had forced his way into the netherworld from the earth veins also stretched out his hands to grab the cracked sky and stuck his head in.
