White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World

Chapter 57 Passage to the Underworld

After the matter in Bao Pavilion was settled, Chang Yi took Jin Lin to the underworld.

It is naturally extremely difficult for ordinary people to go to the underworld. Now that reincarnation has not yet come out, the underworld is still in a state of mist. Only the sea of ​​blood that gave birth to the River Styx exists in it.

However, with Chang Yi's cultivation, he can naturally find a place of passage and enter it easily.

The underworld is very dark without skylight, with rocks and cliffs, thick fog, and a very cold atmosphere.

There are fluorescent flowers and plants under your feet. The weak light can only shine half a foot away, and the surroundings are wrapped in darkness, as if you are in nothingness.

"Master, there are many treasures here."

Jin Lin is very adaptable to the environment here, and can also sense the aura of the spirit treasure.

"Oh? I thought they were all searched by Styx."

It seems that he can't wander around the underworld at will, so Jin Lin can look around for the smell of treasures and get familiar with the terrain.

After admiring the grass in the darkness for a while, Chang Yi lost interest and took out the dream lantern.

As soon as the magic lamp emerged from the dense fog, it was instantly dispersed. Endless brilliance enveloped the land of the underworld, revealing the vast black mountains. In the distance, a winding and ferocious river could be seen flowing freely.

There are also creatures in the underworld, but they don't see the sun and the moon. Their bodies instinctively adapt to the atmosphere of the underworld, making their appearance very ugly. Chang Yi has seen many weird things crawling under the divine light.

In other words, he has half-stepped into the realm of a saint, otherwise he would have had goosebumps all over his body.

"It seems that the matter of enlightenment in the underworld will also be put on the agenda."

"Huh? Can these things also listen to the sermon?"

Hearing Jin Lin's disgusted tone, Chang Yi reached out and flicked his head.

"Everything has spirituality. Ordinary flowers and plants can transform, so why can't they practice cultivation? Don't underestimate the creatures in the world."

"Uh, I understand, master..."

The Netherworld is very big. The two of them walked hundreds of miles without any changes in the scenery. However, they collected a lot of Yin spiritual treasures, but they were not suitable for use by living beings in the human world, as the Yin Qi would damage their origin.

But how could Chang Yi dislike it? After collecting spiritual treasures for so many years, he really doesn't know what it means to be disgusted. These little things are just used to recruit troops for the underworld.

In order to prevent it from seeming too worthless to directly recruit people by giving away treasures, Chang Yi thought about it and began to explain Taoism to Jin Lin. They were all extremely simple introductory methods. Jin Lin still listened attentively.

As expected, after talking for a while, several well-established spirits followed the two of them from a distance, wanting to listen to the teachings.

Instead of driving them away, Chang Yi stepped forward and took the initiative to gather them, passing down the Yin Dao method suitable for their practice.

The monsters kowtowed and thanked him again and again. They knew they were humble and did not dare to become disciples. They only hoped that the immortal would accept them as attendants so that they could always listen to the teachings.

But where does Chang Yi need any attendants? He only selected two leaders with good heels among the monsters, and asked the two monsters to lead the way and introduce the current situation of the underworld.

The two monsters are the ghost cow and the snake demon respectively. Their names were given by Chang Yi for convenience.

The ghost cow looks like a bison but has human faces on its four corners. It is extremely powerful and can frighten people's hearts.

The snake charm is covered in purple mist, has a snake body and a bird face, and has three eyes. It has the ability to confuse people's hearts.

Chang Yi took a fancy to their magical powers, whether they were shocking or confusing, they were of great use to the underworld system.

Because Chang Yi would not frequently travel to the Netherworld and had no intention of accepting any more disciples, he asked Jin Lin to accept the two monsters as registered disciples.

The two of them were still overjoyed. It was novel that Jin Lin had accepted two disciples as soon as he was reincarnated. He took out two treasure coins and gave them to them, which would increase their blessings. The two of them knelt down and worshiped.

When Chang Yi asked again about the wonders of the underworld, the two of them spoke in unison about the Great Black Mountain in the north.

There is nothing surprising about this mountain, but there is a gate leading to the human world, which is blocked by powerful magic. They, the gods and monsters, have used many methods to break it open.

Hearing this, Chang Yi nodded, thinking that this Black Mountain would be the Fengdu leading to the underworld in later generations. (feng)

"Do you know the Ancestor Styx in the Sea of ​​Blood?"

The two of them couldn't help but tremble when they heard the word Styx.

"I know... I know, it's just that we are too weak to get close to the sea of ​​blood. Otherwise, if we are discovered by the Asura clan, we will be arrested and taken to make alchemy!"

Chang Yi was a little surprised when he heard this. After further questioning, he realized that Ming He had been struggling a lot over the years.

After Nuwa created humans and became saints, he also wanted to rely on this method to become saints, so he created the Asura clan in the sea of ​​blood, intending to gather the luck and merits of the underworld and become saints.

But he didn't know that the underworld is the place of reincarnation for future generations. How could he allow the Shura clan to run rampant? Heaven only sent down a few rays of merit to express briefly. Let alone becoming a saint, even if you want to practice Taoism with this, you can't do it.

Therefore, in these years, he sent Shura around to capture monsters and refine elixirs, hoping to improve himself and find opportunities to become a saint.

Knowing the whole story, Chang Yi also found it funny, thinking that Hongyun had acquired the purple energy and was still struggling to find the method. What was the difference between him acting so wantonly and seeking death?

Too lazy to care about him for the time being, Chang Yi planned to go to the Black Mountain mentioned by Gui Niu first to have a look. If there really was a passage, she could arrange something here in advance.

With the light from the divine mirror, a few people rushed to the mountain range in an instant. They saw that the mountain was really a pile of black rocks with strange cliffs standing upright. The mountain was not high but it was extremely wide and could not be seen to the end at a glance.

After following the two monsters to find the stone gate in the mountain, I realized that this was indeed the passage between the two realms.

This time he came to the Netherworld to break the boundary between the two realms with great magic power. How could ordinary immortals have such magical powers? If he wanted to go down to the Netherworld, he could only find this kind of special intersection.

The restrictions on the gate were innate and would be lifted automatically after reincarnation manifested, so Chang Yi did not forcefully break them and prepared to establish the underworld system first.

There are many spirits in the Black Mountain, but most of them are not very intelligent and difficult to educate through preaching, so Chang Yi directly uses the method of moving to "leave" these spirits out of their way.

With the precedent of Qilin Pavilion, it was much easier to plan the layout of Black Mountain. Because we didn't know where Houtu would reincarnate, we only cleared the road near the Ghost Gate to welcome the massive souls who died in the several battles.

As the steep mountains were being cleared, Chang Yi also saw the Asuras who were hunting down monsters everywhere. They were really menacing with their green faces and fangs, and they were indeed spirits born from the sea of ​​blood.

Asura had never seen any other immortal except Ancestor Minghe. When he saw Chang Yi, he was naturally curious and wanted to capture Chang Yi and offer it to his ancestor.

As soon as they came closer, they found that the immortal was missing. Only an incense burner appeared from the void, blocking their way.

The incense burner in front of them emitted a few wisps of green smoke, lingering around them, and the aroma was very pleasant.

Before they could understand what was going on, the smoke invaded the internal organs like bone-corrosive poison, and the pain was instantaneous. He was so fierce that he couldn't help but scream, and it turned into a pool of blood in a short time.

Jin Lin on the side was shocked and surprised. The master was the most accommodating. He didn't expect that when he met this Asura, he killed them without even saying a word.

Seeing Jin Lin's curiosity, Chang Yi spoke very calmly.

"The Shura clan was born from the filth of heaven and earth. Although they have seven emotions and six desires, they are extremely evil. It is really difficult to educate them. It is better to go back to where they came from."

Ghost Cow and Snake Charm were deeply touched. Many of their companions died at the hands of Asura, and the scene was very tragic.

After a few more days, Chang Yi finally finished repairing all parts of Black Mountain. Not only did he have a room for ghost messengers to check the souls, but he also built several post stations and taverns to provide a resting place for the souls traveling alone.

Recalling that there were always people in previous lives whose souls were separated from their bodies and came to the Netherworld for various reasons, he specially built a Huanyang Tower. If this happened, he would immediately send the person back to the underworld.

These people in the province would cause trouble in the underworld at every turn, leaving the place of reincarnation without any authority at all.

After taking care of everything, Chang Yi took some time off, built a palace in the back hill and held a banquet, waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive.
