Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

Under the Naihe Bridge, there stood an old woman with wrinkled skin and white hair, leaning on a walking stick.

Her face was wrinkled, she looked haggard, and her eyes were empty and lifeless.

At this moment, he was holding a bowl of steaming thick soup in his hand and looking at Xiao Liuzi who was staggering towards him.

The soup was smoking and giving off a strange smell.

Xiao Liuzi came to the bridge and the old woman handed him a bowl of soup with an expressionless face.

"Drink it. Drink it and you will forget all the grudges, hatreds, pains and sorrows of your past lives."

Her voice was hoarse and low, as if it had been eroded by time.

At this point, Xiao Liuzi knew that he had reached the end of his life.

Everything is so real and everything is so natural.

There was no sadness, no nostalgia, and no hesitation on Xiao Liuzi's face. He just calmly took the soup and took a sip.

Suddenly, waves began to form in the Forgetful River under the bridge beside him, and the blood-red river surged up.

There were white skeletons inside, one after another, stretching out their long bony claws towards him, as if they wanted to drag him into the river.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Liuzi's hands trembled, and the bowl of thick soup spilled all over the floor.

When Niutou saw this, he looked impatient.

"I thought he was a great man? Lord Yama actually sent our brothers to personally take him in. I didn't expect that he was so worthless. Why did Lord Yama ask us to take good care of him? And why did he ask him to bring a wooden box here?"

The Horse-Faced Guard waved his hand and said, "Brother Niu, leave him alone. Let's quickly send him to Yama Palace and finish the job. Why waste our time?"

Niutou nodded: "That's right! No matter where he comes from, it has nothing to do with us brothers."

The two men held the iron chain and escorted Xiao Liuzi across the Naihe Bridge and arrived at the underworld.

In the dark and solemn Yama Palace, the King of Hell sat in the middle of the hall, with a dignified face and eyes as sharp as torches.

On the left and right sides stood three judges, each with a serious look on their face and no smile on their face.

The four of them were looking at Xiao Liuzi who was approaching slowly.

Xiao Liuzi knelt on the ground without saying a word.

The King of Hell's voice was deep and powerful: "Is the one kneeling down there Little Six from the Five Elements Mountain?"

Xiao Liuzi replied: "It is me!"

The King of Hell looked at him carefully and waved his hand.

"You should get up first."

Xiao Liuzi stood up, and King Yan Luo turned to Niu Tou and said, "Go get a chair and let him sit down!"

"Why is Lord Yan so? In the past, even if the kings of the human world came here, they just didn't have to kneel. Why did Lord Yan give this kid a seat?"

The judge who was punishing evil at the side frowned, his face full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

"Evil Punishment Department! You don't know that the Great Emperor Dongyue explained this to me yesterday when he inspected Fengdu City."

"This little Sixth Son will serve as the acting judge of the Rewarding and Benevolent Department here. After a few years, he will be reincarnated as a wise ruler and the greatest emperor in the world."

"The Emperor of Dongyue also specifically instructed that this little Liuzi would be reincarnated with a treasure box. He specifically asked us to take good care of him."

Lord Yama pondered for a moment and continued, "Over the years, countless emperors and generals have come to me. This is the first time that I have been valued so highly by the Great Emperor and called the greatest emperor of all time."

His expression became serious. "So, you and I must be careful and not make any mistakes. If the Great Emperor Dongyue blames us, none of us can bear the consequences."

After hearing this, everyone in the underworld was shocked and dared not neglect it.

Therefore, everyone took on their respective duties and arranged various specific matters for Xiao Liuzi afterwards.

Three hundred years later, Xiao Liuzi was born in the Prajna Temple in Fengyi, Tongzhou.

Because he was born with strange signs and feared that something unexpected would happen to him, his father Yang Zhong entrusted him to the care of an old nun in Zhishan.

When Xiao Liuzi grew up, he changed his name to Yang Jian and established the Sui Dynasty. During his reign, he worked hard to govern the country and was determined to carry out reforms.

Every morning he attended court, he would forget his tiredness and work hard to be frugal, becoming the most diligent emperor in history.

Emperor Wen of Sui abolished the hereditary system of inheritance by aristocratic families that had begun in the Spring and Autumn Period and was particularly popular in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

He created the imperial examination system for selecting talents, which enabled the common people, regardless of their background or status, to participate in politics, and this system influenced China for thousands of years.

His great achievement was praised by the whole world in later generations, and he was recognized by the whole world as the greatest emperor of the Celestial Empire.

When Xiao Liuzi was born, he was holding a wooden box tightly in his hands.

The Moonlight Box was born with him, but the tadpole characters on the side disappeared.

The treasure box was enshrined in Fengyi Prajna Temple by the old nun Zhishan, but was later stolen by the passing fairy Zixia.

South China Sea, Mount Putuo.

Chengfeng sat quietly on a rock on the mountain behind Luojia Cave.

The afterglow of the setting sun slanted on his body, giving him a faint golden glow, but also reflecting the solemnity and deep thought between his brows.

In his hand, he tightly grasped the sword-fighting secret book given to him by the Lord of Dao and Morality.

His fingers gently stroked the edge of the scroll, and every touch seemed to be a silent conversation with an ancient power.

This precious gift from the saint is profound and complex.

For a moment, he was confused, and his brows were furrowed like two insurmountable mountains.

Chengfeng pursed his lips, his eyes sometimes staring into the distance, and sometimes lowering his head, staring intently at the ancient book in his hands.

Nowadays, "Fairy from the Sky" has already been mastered.

However, this "Nirvana★Fairy from the Sky" is so profound that it is difficult to understand.

Even Master Cihang Zhenren didn't know how to practice this technique. He only said that it depended on one's luck and destiny.

Looking at the obscure words on it, Chengfeng shook his head helplessly and was about to put away the bamboo slips and return to the cave.

A clear and pleasant laughter came from the forest path not far away, interrupting my thoughts.

The dragon girl walked lightly through the path lined with swaying tree shadows, smiling.

Her bright eyes sparkled with cunning and mischief.

"Junior Brother Chengfeng! Are you working behind closed doors again?"

Chengfeng's face stiffened slightly. After some of his previous memories were restored, he knew that the Dragon Girl was his junior sister.

Unexpectedly, she kept teasing herself about the Five Elements Mountain.

Even though we treated her to several big meals, we couldn't stop her from eating.

After coming back, she still called herself "junior brother" from time to time, which was really embarrassing.

Chengfeng pretended to be serious and frowned slightly.

"Junior sister! You are making fun of me again with these old stories. How disrespectful!"

Seeing his expression, the dragon girl smiled even more happily.

"Junior brother, how dare I make fun of you. Back then, when we were in the Five Elements Mountain, you kept calling me Fairy Sister. Your innocence and persistence left a deep impression on me."

Having said that, the Dragon Girl deliberately paused, with a hint of sarcasm in her words.

"Or do you want to erase that memory now that you have reached a higher level of cultivation?"

Chengfeng laughed in silence and shook his head helplessly.

"You naughty girl, you are getting more and more naughty. At that time, I was reincarnated as a mortal, and I really can't remember anything about my previous life. You still dare to call me your junior brother now, are you asking for a beating?"
