As we all know, the ancient underworld was established by Empress Hou Tu, but before she established the underworld, her direct lineage and various tribes of the witch clan had been completely destroyed by the Lich Tribulation. Are there powerful powers working behind the scenes? Countless monks throughout the ages have not dared to delve into it.
In short, it is in the interests of all parties that the Houtu Empress, who is alone and alone, established the ancient underworld. However, Houtu Empress, who has no one under her, except for mastering the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, the fundamental thing of the underworld, does not allow others to get involved in it. In addition, it is natural and reasonable for various forces to interfere in the underworld.
Among them, Buddhism, which is difficult to intervene in the world of heaven and humanity, is the most undisguised. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can become a Buddha but does not become a Buddha. He will fall into the underworld even if he lowers himself.
The Human Emperor also personally searched for the Empress Dowager Tu, and at the expense of more heroic souls from the human race entering the underworld and less going to the heaven, he earned many official posts from the underworld for the human race, including the Ten Great Yamas, Six-level Meritorious Officers, Civil and Military Judges, etc. prepared by.
At that time, the heaven was powerful, and many people were stationed in the underworld.
In addition to Emperor Dongyue, the highest representative of heaven in the underworld, there are also 3,600 stone priests who work part-time in the underworld. Their main tasks are not only to supervise the affairs of the underworld, but also to intercept the souls of strong men to prevent them from reincarnating and reborn in the human court. Circulation, to attract them to go to heaven to work.
Now, those who appear in front of all the true kings are the more than three thousand stone man priests who fell from heaven to the ancient underworld in the past.
They are all alien spirits and gods, with square heads and chopstick bodies. They have big heads and thin bodies. They look extremely funny.
But the True Lords, including Su Qing, did not dare to underestimate these stone man priests.
Because these stone man priests are all the first batch of innate yin and yang stones to give birth to spiritual intelligence, they have become innate spirits and monsters.
It is precisely because of the natural gathering of yin and yang that one can walk in heaven and the underworld without any hindrance. He can withstand the great spiritual energy of heaven and is not afraid of the filthy and filthy death energy of the underworld.
Even now, the heavens are disintegrating, the underworld is scattered, in the secret realm of the abyss, the evil energy and death energy are constantly escaping, and the evil energy is lingering. Even the bridge of life and death can transform evil.
These stone man priests have been able to carry out their ancient missions faithfully for countless years without turning into evil spirits!
If you are determined and determined, evil spirits cannot invade you. If you perform your duties faithfully, it will be difficult for traitors to do anything!
Su Qing and the other true kings do not think they are traitors, they are really good people!
But these stone man priests are stubborn and want to point guns at good people like them!
“The nether world is the underworld of the earth. There are gods in the sky and ghosts on the earth. Yin and Yang rotate. Birds are born and animals die. They are male and female repeatedly. They are born and transformed. A female becomes a male after pregnancy. This is a natural number. , it cannot be changed. Today, there are immortals and Taoists who use their human bodies to join the spies, violate the laws of heaven, disrespect the power of heaven, and rebel against the underworld. We will obey the orders of the emperor of heaven and the emperor of the government. We should suppress them and put the yin and yang in order. Eternal peace Hell!”
A stone man priest stood up and read out the command that they had read countless times since ancient times without any emotion.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three thousand six hundred stone man priests started their formation.
But I saw the cold wind howling, the strange fog overcast, the flags here are fluttering, the halberds are shining there, the armor is rolling, the layers of armor are bright, the big sword, the flying clouds and the lightning, the silver light gun, the speed. Fog Chuanyun, Square Heavenly Halberd, Tiger Eye Whip, Bronze Sword, Four Bright Shovel, each has its own majesty, curved bow, hard crossbow, carved feathers and arrows, short stick, snake spear to hold the soul.
The 3,600 stone man priests allowed all the true kings to see the majesty of the ancient heaven. The well-equipped and well-trained heavenly soldiers and generals could display their full capabilities before the generals betrayed and the soldiers did not lose heart. His fighting power is by no means comparable to the monsters and monsters he encountered before.
Since ancient times, regular armies have been able to fight better than miscellaneous armies.
These 3,600 stone-man priests were entrusted by the Heavenly Court with important responsibilities in ancient times and were stationed in the underworld. In addition to the fact that they are stone-men with stone hearts and are not easily corroded by bad habits outside, their combat power is... He is also the best among the best.
As soon as they set up their formation, all the True Lords felt a lot of pressure. They felt that they had to use their trump cards to exert some of the power of the sixth-level Void Refining level. It might be difficult for them to defeat these stone-man priests. Fight a way out of the blockade.
What's more, without the trump card, what can they do to fight a way out? You know, there is Black Wukong who used to take hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals in ancient times and ignored them. This batch of them made them do it. The timid and helpless stone man priest might be a few blows away from him!
"Why don't you talk to them about reason and conscience? Although I, Liu Gandang, usually don't do many good things, I am really a good person this time. I have the conscience of heaven and earth. These stone-man priests should not punish us!"
“It’s unreasonable. If they could be influenced by the outside world, they wouldn’t have been corrupted by evil for so many years. In their eyes, they only have the following orders from ancient times!”< br>
“How do they become priests if they don’t know right from wrong and good from evil?”
“Isn’t that what officials are like?”
“That’s true, what should I do? Should we fight with these dog officials?”
Whether to fight or not is not a choice for the true kings.
When the stone man priests formed an array and surrounded them, divine arrows shot towards them.
They didn’t want to fight, they didn’t want to fight, so they had to stand up and fight first.
Although Su Qing was also frowning and thinking of countermeasures, he also took out the heavily armored knights first and asked his father to lead the charge into the battle. Although he had elite soldiers and strong puppets, he could have used them to deal with these. The friendly stone priests are a bit wasteful.
But I can’t think of a better way right now.
The men and horses of his heavily armored knights all wore specially customized battle armor from Jia Tianxia, and the knights' battle equipment were all third- and fourth-level magical weapons purchased with huge sums of money from Yuanshi Sect and other powerful weapon refining sects.
Based on his previous opinion, it would be no problem for his heavily armored knights to sweep across a small area. They are also considered to be one of the best warriors among the powerful soldiers of all races in all the worlds. Strong troops.
Comparing people with others will lead to death, but comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.
It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and it is difficult for people in this world to be as wealthy as in ancient times. As the powerful soldiers under the command of the ancient Heavenly Emperor, the Stoneman Priests are basically innate spirits. This is something Su Qing dared to imagine. The armors and weapons on their bodies were all refined by the divine craftsmen and immortal masters who specialized in this job in the Ancient Heavenly Palace. Not to mention that the craftsmanship and skills are far superior to those in the modern world, at least they have their own merits. It is absolutely impossible for the refining skills of the ancient heaven to be weaker than the private war armor shop in the modern world. The key is that there are many kinds of treasures in ancient times, and they refine war armors. Armor war equipment, get good materials, but also give up good materials!
In this way, the soldiers are not as strong as others, and the armor is not as good as others. Even if the leader kills his father and serves first, it is more brave, but it will be difficult to save the whole situation by himself.
Even if he used the Puppet Immortal to strengthen the heavily armored knights, there was no way he could be a match for the stone man priests.
Su Qing is about to take another storage bag and release the air fleet, the artillery formation group, the magic sword puppet group, and even the blasting puppet group. Unless there is no need to use the exorcism group army, all of his own puppets should be released. Crush them with numbers, and with the many sixth-level trump cards held by the True Lords present, they should still be able to fight against these stone man priests!
There was Zhenjun behind him who held him back, telling him that there was no need for him to confront the stone man priests head-on!
“Su Zhenjun, in our opinion, these stone-man priests may be one of the reasons why the evildoers in the Yama Hall are unable to go out and cause trouble.
It is precisely because they are stationed in this hall that the evil spirits and demons in this hall can only be trapped here day after day.
We are fighting to the death with them now because we are following the path of the evil spirits in the Yama Hall. We must not do this! ”
Su Qing looked back and saw that the speaker was none other than True Lord Guangxian of the Yuanshi Sect. As a representative of the Yuanshi Sect, most of the True Lords in this trip were willing to listen to a few words from him. Yes, even he, Su Qing, has to pay attention to his opinion.
But what he said is nonsense.
He, Su Qing, is not a brat. , I have to use my painstakingly accumulated puppet army to confront these stone people head-on.
Isn't there no way out? With these stone men blocking the way, how can they go back if they don't get rid of them?
If we don’t go back, how can we eliminate the great evil hidden in the Yama Hall, and how can we seize the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and the Reincarnation Patterns?
“There is no way at the moment, let’s find a way first!”
Hou Zhen Zhenjun from the spirit burial world stepped forward and took out a fairy coffin from the storage bag. This coffin As soon as it emerged, it enlarged and covered all the True Lords.
But when they heard the divine arrows hitting the divine coffin, making a clanging sound, and the light inside and outside the divine coffin flickering, everyone also knew that the divine coffin would not last long, and they had to find a way , you have to use your brain quickly.
"They are all officials of the ancient heaven. It is said that Su Zhenjun, you are still leading the walking position of the emperor of heaven, and you also master the Taixu sun and moon pattern that only the emperor of heaven can master. As long as you stand up and say a word, these stone man priests, I think I can convince you to take care of it!”
“I want to take care of it, but just now I have shown my identity as the walking emperor of heaven, and I have also used the golden light of the sun to show the power of Taixu Sun and Moon Dao Patterns, but These stone-man priests just don’t recognize it!”
“Don’t worry, I think these stone-man priests have been stuck in this secret realm of the abyss for these years, and they are stone-minded, and they always want to ask for something. , It’s not that he doesn’t recognize Su Zhenjun, the living emperor, it’s that Su Zhenjun, the living emperor, has not shown the ability to benefit these ancient priests!”
“Benefits? Let them follow me in the future? , working from nine to five, with two hours of rest at noon, and two months of rest every year. The salary follows the ancient rules. Each priest has 300 top-quality spiritual stones per month, and also has heavenly materials and earthly treasures such as fairy peaches and spiritual fruits as benefits. Distribution? I can't afford this benefit. If I, Su Qing, do such a thing, I might as well fight with them!"
Su Qing flatly rejected the proposal of True Lord Guangxian, and his puppets , mostly free labor, all year round, working 24 hours a day, working hard without complaint. If this group of stone man priests is accepted, the brothers, friends and puppet subordinates who worked with him before will also have their salaries increased accordingly. ? As long as this welfare benefit increases, there is no possibility of it decreasing!
"Well, working for others is just for promotion and salary increase. Since Su Zhenjun is reluctant to give up the high salary, then give them promotion and official position!" Zhenjun Guangxian suggested again.
"Promotion and official position? I have no problem with that. Isn't it just painting a big pie? There is no trace of heaven now anyway. What about the four levels of merit, five directions of revelation, six, six, and twenty-eight? I can give you the stars, but they have to believe them if they talk empty talk!"
Su Qing felt that although the stone man priests were lacking in brains, they were not necessarily stupid, just because they knew it clearly! This group of people has an upright and upright aura. They are not evil and evil people. They also pretend to be ignorant. They hold ancient command arrows and bluff with them. They look like they are seeking benefits but will never take the initiative to speak. You know they are He is indeed a spirit who has become a spirit. He has somewhat grasped the true meaning of being a god or an official in ancient times. He cannot be fooled casually!
Zhenjun Guangxian was also worried. He thought about it and couldn't think of a solution. He looked left and right, but he saw someone who could solve this problem!
But he saw Liu Gandang cupping his hands and saying: "Liu Zhenjun, I have heard that when your ancestor established the artificial heaven before, he used the ancient heaven to establish the ranking of the gods and the divine power.< br>
This list is still very binding for the ancient priests. If Su Zhenjun, as the walking emperor of heaven, holds this list of gods and makes a promise to these stone man priests, they must be able to recognize it! "
Zhenjun Guangxian's words made Liu Gan very confused. He didn't understand why he was about to take out the list of best items from their Penglai Sect's box. He also said that. Su Qingmao suddenly realized that the True Lord of the Yuanshi Sect had a quick mind. Otherwise, he could have been one of the best in the world from ancient times to the present. This ability to coordinate resources and solve problems is indeed amazing
If so. Liu Gandang handed over the Investiture of Gods to him, and he would never despise it!
Liu Gandang was not aware enough and was not a good person, so he hesitated, saying at one moment that he didn’t have the Investiture of Gods with him, and at another that it was still incomplete. It wasn’t of much use, so he just showed his hands in the end:
“This list of gods is related to the foundation of our Penglai Immortal Kingdom’s man-made heaven. Our Penglai Immortal Kingdom has invested a lot of manpower and material resources for this, and it has been planned for countless years. It can be handed over so easily. To outsiders, I, Liu Gan, feel sorry for my ancestors! ”
But he didn't want to be useless. All the True Lords present saw that the body-protecting coffin was shaking and was about to become the coffin for burying their group of God-Transforming True Lords. They all asked Liu Gan to carry forward his style and could not do it because of him. The selfishness of one family brings misfortune to everyone.
"Liu Zhenjun, please, it's already here. What's the use of yours and mine? Besides, who doesn't know now that most of your Penglai Immortal Kingdom belongs to Su Zhenjun. With his character If you don’t give him the God List now, he will definitely deceive you and take it away from you in the future. It’s better to suffer sooner than later. If you give it now, we all owe you and the Liu family a favor!”
The True Lord Fuhu of Thousand Islands Fairyland patted Liu Gandang on the shoulder and spoke sincerely, coupled with the persuasion and agreement of other True Lords present.
No matter how reluctant Liu Gandang was, he also knew that if he didn't take the initiative to take it out now, the group of true monarchs would probably be robbed alive. In desperation, he had to take out the list of gods.
As soon as Su Qing got the list of gods, he waved his hands on his body, and he saw that he was wearing a purple gold crown, gold threaded clothes, a robe of a Hongmeng star emperor, and a dragon and phoenix white jade gold belt. How could he look so majestic? Remarkable.
Next to him, there was General Tiger holding a sword gifted by the Emperor of Heaven to clear the way. The moment the coffin of the buried immortal god was raised, he glared at the stone man priests with his tiger eyes, asking them to open their eyes wide and take a good look. Look, who are they facing now! (End of this chapter)
