hell in disguise

For the next whole night, Bo Xun didn't dare to fall asleep again, and he couldn't even settle down to recuperate.Every time he closes his eyes, all kinds of death scenes of Quanna that he has seen in the illusion will appear vividly in front of him like tarsal maggots.He could even smell the blood and the smell of internal organs, and hear the sticky and hard sound when the muscles and bones were cut.Seeing him like this, Tan Yangzi didn't force him anymore, but just sat beside him silently, letting him tug on his sleeve.

Bo Xun stared at him seriously, "I can't believe that you will really go to Lihentian for me."

Tan Yangzi cleared his throat feeling a little uncomfortable, "If it wasn't for Xie Yucheng and Fan Zhang's help, I wouldn't be able to go even if I wanted to. And I'm afraid it's not a good thing to send the soul knot to a place near God Ziwei."

"Xie Yucheng..." Speaking of this name, Bo Xun's face still twitched slightly, and resentment flashed for a moment.Now he can't hide any emotion at all, even the jealousy is so naked, "I don't like him..."

Tan Yangzi knew that he had a grudge against Xie Yucheng, so he gently persuaded him, "The two of them are your benefactors, and now Fan Zhang has a little five-year-old appearance for some reason, if you can ask Asu Yun to help him, see Let's see if there is any way to make him recover before showing the five signs of decline."

So, in order to avoid his own suspicion, Ah Xuyun had to go to treat Fan Zhang.By seeing his reaction at that time, we can find out whether Fan Zhang's incident was done by him.

Bo Xun said obediently, "Okay, I'll ask him when I get back. But...you don't want to see Xie Yucheng in private anymore."

Tan Yangzi thought that it would be better not to stimulate Bo Xun's spirit now, so he just nodded without refuting.Seeing that he agreed, Bo Xun immediately smiled brightly.He leaned on Master's shoulder and said softly, "Master, I have to go to another place before going back to hell."

Tan Yangzi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where?"

"Heling Mountain."

............................................................

During the day when Li Hentian was disturbed by Bo Xun, something happened quietly in the ten days in the human world.

The first is the theft of the Sakyamuni Buddha brain relic, a sacred object enshrined by the Thutuo branch of the Pizhijue School for generations. It is said that the thief probably sneaked in when the Venerable Tianyin led his troops to encircle Bo Xun with the heavenly soldiers and stole it.Just as the Thutuo Sect began to search for thieves and holy relics, many refugees with unknown purposes began to gather at the foot of Heling Mountain.The Toutuo Sect was originally a very mysterious and secluded sect. It is impossible for ordinary people to know the secret that their main altar is in Heling Mountain. But this time so many people traveled across mountains and rivers to gather, and even attracted the attention of the government, which really threatened the Toutuo Sect. of secrecy.The Toutuo faction was tense and pretended to be ordinary passers-by to find out why those refugees camped and gathered in this barren mountain. As a result, those people said that they came here by destiny.

As a result, the Tuduo sect went on alert, and the search for Buddha brain relics had to be suspended.

The instigator who stole the Buddha's brain relic got off his horse, entered a posthouse as if no one else was there, and went up to the third floor into a Tianzi room.Sitting in a wheelchair, Mu Shangji was seriously grinding some kind of medicinal material with a bitter smell, and raised his head to look at the person coming when he heard the sound.

Alido put the package on the table, sat in front of him and drank a cup of tea.

Mu Shangji brought the package over, and after opening it, he saw a simple wooden box. When he lifted the lid, he saw a semicircular gray skeleton inside, which looked no different from ordinary skeletons.

Mu Shangji frowned in disappointment, "Is this the Buddha brain relic?"

Alido nodded, "There is nothing wrong. When I touched it, it felt like I was scalded. Ordinary human bones will not hurt me."

Buddha brain relic, the most important material of Liuhegui.

Mu Shangji said, "When do you plan to go back to the island?"

"Let's go tonight." Alido looked around, "Where's your Junior Brother Tongxiu? Why didn't you see him clinging to you?"

Mu Shangji glanced at him, "He went out to buy some medicinal materials for me."

Alido was actually very annoyed by the boy who insisted on following them, but in the past few days Mu Shangji's attitude towards him has eased a lot, and he can't say anything, so as not to make Mu Shangji angry again and mess up the relationship more rigid.

Alido looked at the sky and said, "I'll bring you something to eat. Your junior brother is back, let him pack his luggage quickly."

Mu Shangji hummed, but didn't respond much.

Alido went downstairs and out the door, but he led the horse again and ran towards the dense bamboo forest behind the post house.He walked to the depths of the dense forest before stopping, leaning on a thick bamboo stem, waiting quietly.

But at this moment, some ghostly figures flitted through the light and shadow, and fell silently around Alido, gathering towards the center like a dark circle.Alido remained motionless, but there was a bit of majesty and arrogance in his expression.Those "human beings" with different appearances turned to him one by one, and knelt down on one knee silently.

"Meet Your Highness the Third Highness." More than a dozen humans said together.

Alido said, "Excuse me."

It turns out that these are the black armored guards from Abi Hell, possessing human beings.They got up quickly, bowed their heads and waited for Alido's order.

Alido said, "Notify the ministries that the time we have been waiting for for hundreds of years is finally here."

All the ghosts couldn't help showing excitement, but they were well-trained to suppress their emotions.Arido continued, "After the formation of Liuhe Gui, the atmosphere of the earth will be in chaos for 33 days. The heavens will definitely use all their strength to attack hell when they get the news of me. At that time, I will use Qingji to send a message, and you will get the news as soon as possible." Immediately open all passages. Be careful during this period, don't leak ghost energy, don't let any heavenly soldiers or demon soldiers notice."

All the ghosts responded in unison, and after a while, they disappeared like several shadows flying past.

From time to time there were flies-like flying insects buzzing in his ears, Alido waved them away impatiently, then rode back to the inn, ordered some meals to be delivered upstairs.Tong Xiu had already returned, and seeing him entering the room with food, she said coldly, "It's been so long since you took food?"

Alido said, "I went to the town to inquire about the news. The plan has changed, and we will not go back to the island."

Tong Xiu immediately became alert, "If you don't go back to the island, where do you want to go?"

"I want to go back to hell directly and hand over the relic to Xianjun. Amu, I plan to temporarily place you elsewhere. Hell is too dangerous. I know that your medical immortal sect has a way to go to hell with a human body, but with your current physical condition It is not advisable to take risks."

But Mu Shangji said, "I'll go with you."

Alido was surprised.He originally thought that Mu Shangji would be eager to get rid of him.Even Tong Xiu looked at him in disbelief, "Brother! This is too risky!"

Mu Shangji looked down at his missing stump, and said flatly, "If I can put on a ghost body, maybe I have a chance to walk again."

After hearing this, Alido's heart sank, which was somewhat inexplicably joyful.He didn't understand why this man didn't cry or make trouble, but he always had a strange sour and suffocating feeling in his heart.He doesn't like this feeling because it makes him make irrational decisions.

Just like now, when Mu Shangji said so, he had no way to refuse.

What he originally thought was to send Mu Shangji to a safe place before the chaos in hell.Wait until everything has settled before bringing him back to his side.But it might be a good thing to stay with Mu Shangji to take care of him at any time.

Tong Xiu said, "Then I will go too."

But Mu Shangji said, "No, you can't go. You have to go back to the island to send a letter to tell Bai Luen where we are going."

Tong Xiu glanced at Alido unwillingly and suspiciously, but the latter grinned triumphantly at him, his brows were full of provocation.Tong Xiu was so angry that her teeth itched, but she couldn't disobey her brother's order, so she obediently complied.

............................................................

After the battle with Bo Xun, God Ziwei suffered far more serious injuries than he showed.

One year before the year of heaven, he began to show the first appearance of the five declines of heaven and man.At that time, a new god had just been born in the Putuo Pool of Brahma Heaven, and was adopted by the Holy Mother of Tianfu from Lihentian.Because the heavens are too comfortable and rich, the heavens and humans often feel bored. Anyone who can find a little bit of celebration will definitely have a feast.God Ziwei personally hosted a banquet to celebrate this happy event, and many famous gods came to the banquet during the 33 days.He still remembered that the Baihua fairies were dancing in the radiant fairy palace at that time, and the silk ribbons on their bodies were constantly intertwined into elegant and gorgeous patterns. Drunk, blurred vision.

Taihao never wears flowers on his head like other celestial beings.But the petals sprinkled by the fairies are scattered one after another, and most of them will stick between the hair.He reached out to remove the petals stuck in the bun, but saw that the petals were wrinkled and yellowed, and they looked withered.

He stared blankly at the petals in his palm, unable to understand what he saw for a long time.Until Immortal Chang Geng quietly asked beside him, "Holy Emperor?"

He suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly held the petal in his palm.Pretending to be nothing.But all the programs that followed that night were boring to him. Even though his eyes looked at everything in front of him, the images could not enter his consciousness and could not be decomposed into meaningful symbols.

He found an excuse casually, left the table early, returned to the bedroom, and angrily waved away all the waiters.I have never seen such an out-of-control Ziwei God. The waiters were all terrified, thinking that something important had happened, and guarded outside the palace door anxiously.

All of a sudden, all the glory, wealth, and power of the supreme position are meaningless.Suddenly, the doomsday that was thought to be far away has arrived.

He has lived a long time and seen the end of many gods.Those four words are taboos for all heaven and man, and it is the inevitable ending that everyone chooses to deceive themselves and forget.

He began to count carefully the good and bad karma he had done in this life, carefully weighing the weight of his last soul.And the result he calculated made him shudder.

This is not fair, he is the master of the six realms, in order to maintain the stability of the six realms, sometimes he has to make sacrifices.Why is his counting method of good and bad karma the same as that of those bugs in hell?Like those human beings who do nothing and are nameless?What's wrong with him killing to protect all living beings?

When he thinks that the end is coming, he will lose everything he has worked so hard to gain, lose all power, authority and glory, and fall into the dark hell, with fangs and scales... Just thinking about it for a moment makes him feel chills down his spine.

Unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable.

But at this time, the door of his palace opened lightly, and a figure entered silently.Taihao was furious, and was about to reprimand him, but it was Chang Geng who came.

Chang Geng Xingjun's fair face looked paler like moonlight in the somewhat dim light, and his cold blue pupils were full of worry.

"Your Majesty... are you alright?"

Ziwei God's anger subsided a little.Chang Geng is currently the only immortal he can trust.

Chang Geng was younger than him, but he was extremely resourceful.When he was competing with Xing Tian for the throne, he was implicated by Yao Ji and almost lost everything.At this time, Chang Geng secretly sent someone to invite him to meet privately.He didn't understand why Changgeng Xianjun helped him deal with his adoptive father.

It was only later that he learned that Xing Tian's violent temper did not necessarily belong to outsiders.Chang Geng Xianjun was often punished and beaten by Xing Tian since he was a child, and he was threatened not to speak out.Chang Geng, who was clearly a celestial being, had a miserable childhood than many humans.Therefore, Chang Geng knew that if Xing Tian became the Emperor of Heaven, the Six Paths would never have peace.So he chose to be loyal to Taihao, because he believed that Taihao was the best choice.

For the next ten or so kalpas, Chang Geng was indeed as promised at the beginning, loyal to him, devoted all his energy to him, and swept away all obstacles of the enemy.

If he wants to escape this catastrophe, the only person he can trust is Chang Geng.

Just when his plan was about to succeed, Bo Xun, the young god who had made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles since birth, just came back to life at this time.What he didn't expect was that not only did not weaken Bo Xun's strength, but instead made him stronger.However, his own body was gradually weakened by the engulfment of the five decays of heaven and man.Especially after a big battle with Bo Xun, he unexpectedly appeared twice.Now any celestial being who sees his decayed and aged face will know that his life is not long.And Bo Xun's accusation against him in front of everyone was confirmed.

At the beginning, I also had the ideal of saving the suffering and common people like Bo Xun.But since when did he get farther and farther away from his original intention?

Before becoming the Emperor of Heaven, or after?

Or after Yao Ji's death?

The door of the bedroom opened, and a lonely footstep gradually approached.Today Ziwei God has withdrawn the guards around the Haotian Shrine, because no one except Chang Geng can see what happened in the palace today.

Chang Geng approached quietly, holding a mysterious orb that was all glowing red in his hand.It is Lihentian's magic weapon Tuntian Bead, which can compress huge things and shrink them into small pieces without damaging them. It is one of the raw materials of Shiva's staff.And at this time, what is contained in this bead is the crazy-growing soul knot brought to Lihentian by Qian that day.

Hundreds of heavenly soldiers were lost before the plague-like uncontrollable thing was collected into the bead.

Ziwei God is like a dying traveler in the desert who sees a sweet spring, losing all his calm and elegant demeanor.He suddenly lifted the veil, stretched out a hand like a withered claw, and snatched the orb from Chang Geng's hand.He glanced at Chang Geng, and said in a hoarse old man's voice, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chang Geng smiled slightly and lowered his head.

God Ziwei lifted the orb to his mouth and opened his mouth wide.The orb in his hand became brighter and brighter, as if something lumpy was constantly churning, a string of sticky, blood-like stuff tentatively rose from the bead, probing into the mouth of God Ziwei like tentacles.And God Ziwei sucked greedily and forcefully, sucking out more and more red blood threads, and swallowed them into his stomach.That gluttonous state is like a hungry ghost in the bardo realm.

The red color in the bead became thinner rapidly, but Ziwei God's abdomen was constantly bulging, like a pregnant woman.Finally, the bead became clear and clean, with no trace of redness left.God Ziwei finally put down the beads and sighed contentedly.

He felt endless vitality filling every vein, and he felt that the dead microns were being reborn continuously.

He is saved, and he doesn't have to worry about being reincarnated in hell!He regained everything that belonged to him!

He is still the six realms, and the master of the world!

But at this moment, there was a severe colic in his abdomen, as if a huge hinge full of blades was constantly stirring his internal organs.He let out a cry of pain, covered his abdomen with his hands, and raised his head to look at Chang Geng in bewilderment.

Chang Geng was still smiling, but his usual humble and cautious smile looked even more gloomy at this moment.

"This is... what's going on?!" God Ziwei finally showed horror on his withered face.

Chang Geng stretched out his slender and fair hand, and touched Taihao's face so softly that he felt pity.

"Except for the soul tie's owner, any living beings that touch it will be devoured by it. I'm really sorry, I forgot to tell you, the Holy Emperor, that the blood I used to water the soul tie in hell is my own."
