Chapter 1722 Huangquan, Wangchuan, What Can We Do?

After reading the information about Shifang Demon Saint.

Li Chengqian smiled unconsciously.

Sure enough, the Demon Saints of the Ten Directions are worthy of coming from the legendary heaven.

All of them have extraordinary origins and are not simple characters.

Next, it depends on their strength?

"The Heavenly Monument of Destiny, how strong is the Demon Saint of the Ten Directions?"

Compared to the origins of the Demon Saints of the Ten Directions.

Undoubtedly, Li Chengqian was more interested in their strength.

"As you wish."

"Since the Demon Saints of the Ten Directions can walk as human beings, their realm is temporarily calculated based on the potential value of the Ten Stars (?)."

"That is, all the demon saints in the ten directions are in the realm of the twelfth heaven of saints."

oh?

Hearing this, Li Chengqian was surprised.

have to say.

This result was far beyond his expectation.

Originally, he thought that the strength of the Demon Saints of the Ten Directions was at most about the same as the four ferocious divine beasts.

But now, his body level is actually comparable to that of Huang Feihu.

However, then I thought about it.

The division of the destiny monument in this way seems to make sense.

After all, the Demon Saint of the Ten Directions can walk as a human body.

In terms of flexibility, it is much higher than the major mythical beasts.

In this way, it is normal for their ontological realm to be higher.

Of course, for Li Chengqian, the strength of the demon saints from all directions.

Naturally, the higher the better, right?

"Monument of Destiny, continue."

Li Chengqian has clearly understood the strength of the demon saints from all directions.

Just say no more.

He wanted to see what kind of surprises this time the Taixu Fragment reward could give him besides the Shifang Demon Saint.

"As you wish."

"Congratulations to the Lord of Destiny for successfully obtaining the fourth reward: three hundred junior underworld messengers."

[Elementary messenger from the underworld: that is, an ox-headed and horse-faced messenger, a saint in the eighth heaven. 】

[Nuo-headed horse face: Niu-headed horse face, two ghost soldiers in the legend, one with a head like a cow and the other with a head like a horse. Metaphor for all kinds of ugly people.

It is based on the image of the seducer in traditional Chinese culture.

According to the "Tiecheng Mud Plow Sutra": When Abang was a human, because of his unfilial piety to his parents, he was transformed into a bull-headed person in the underworld and served as a government servant patrolling and hunting down escaped criminals.

Some sources say that Buddhism originally only had bull heads. When it was introduced to China, because Chinese people were most concerned about symmetry and pairs, horse faces were added. But there is also information that horse face is also called horse face Rakshasa, which also comes from Buddhism.

However, in my research, I did not find any mention of horse faces as servants of the underworld in Indian mythology. There is an image of "Horse Faced King" in Tantric Buddhism, but that is a great god in Tantric Buddhism. According to legend, he is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and is far from the messenger of the underworld.

The theory of the bull-headed horse-face spread among the Chinese people, and was later absorbed by Taoism, and served as a subordinate of King Yama and the judge.

It is rare to see bull-headed and horse-faced noodles in Buddhist temples, but they are more common in Taoist Chenghuang Temple, Dongyue Temple, Yama Temple, etc. 】

"It's getting more and more interesting."

"The bull-headed and horse-faced people are here."

"This is to greatly strengthen my underworld strength."

"Wait a minute, this is still a junior messenger from the underworld. The strength of the ox-headed and horse-faced messenger is already comparable to that of the Hidden Dragon Guard of the Tang Dynasty."

"What if it's a stronger intermediate messenger from the underworld?"

"Yes, yes, I am looking forward to it more and more."

The corners of the mouth are slightly outlined.

Li Chengqian became more and more interested in the future of the Tang Dynasty's underworld.

"Monument of Destiny, continue."

From the demon saints of the ten directions to the bull-headed horse-faced ones here, it can be said that this time is a reward.

There are surprises everywhere.

Li Chengqian expressed his satisfaction.

"As you wish."

"Congratulations to the Lord of Destiny for successfully obtaining this reward five: a chance to greatly increase the number of the Tang Dynasty's regiments."

[The number of the various corps of the Tang Dynasty has been greatly increased: after using it, the number of the first corps of the Tang Dynasty, the Four Evil Corps of the Tang Dynasty, the Immortal Lord Guards Corps of the Tang Dynasty, and the Underworld Corps of the Tang Dynasty will be increased to a certain extent. . 】

Can.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled again unconsciously.

Such an increase in quantity will undoubtedly enable the entire Tang Dynasty Immortal Court to receive improved rewards.

"The Monument of Destiny, immediately give me the opportunity to use this opportunity to greatly increase the number of the Tang Dynasty's armies."

"As you wish."

"Congratulations to the Lord of Destiny for successfully using this opportunity to greatly increase the number of armies in the Tang Dynasty."

"By the way, before that, I will officially change the name of the Imperial Guard Corps of the Immortal Lord of the Tang Dynasty to the Tianwei Corps of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chengqian has always felt that the name of the Immortal Lord's Guards Corps of the Tang Dynasty is a bit difficult to pronounce.

So, after careful consideration.

Li Chengqian chose to change his name at this moment.

It was officially named the Tang Dynasty Tianwei Corps.

"As you wish."

"Congratulations to the Lord of Destiny. The name of the Tang Dynasty Tianwei Corps is uniquely rich and favored by the Destiny Monument."

"Therefore, with this promotion, the Tang Dynasty Tianwei Corps will undergo a greater transformation."

oh?

After hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

This is a bit of a surprise.

"Next, the number of corps in the entire Tang Dynasty will be increased as follows."

"The First Corps of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The Nine Sons of the Dragon Legion - sixty trillion armies of each legion (mid-stage of Daluo Golden Immortal)!"

"Three major legions of Wei, Shu and Wu - thirty trillion armies of each legion (late stage of Da Luo Jinxian)!"

"The Four Fierce Corps of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Four Evil Legions - 2 million each (quasi-saint peak, legion soul has been opened)"

"Tang Dynasty Underworld Corps!"

"Tang Dynasty Yama Guard (Daluo Jinxian peak) - 200 trillion!"

"Tang Dynasty Tianwei Corps!"

"Tang Dynasty Tiance Qihuo Army, Tang Dynasty Tiance White Robe Army, Tang Dynasty Tiance Northern Palace Army, Tang Dynasty Tiance Kaisui Army, Tang Dynasty Tiance Thunder God Army, Tang Dynasty Tiance Huqi Army - 4 million each (quasi-saint early stage)!"

"Tang Dynasty Tiance Black Armor Army - 2 million (quasi-saint middle stage)!"

Hiss!

After seeing the increase in number this time.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In front, Guan Yu Tang's First Corps, the increase was normal.

The Dragon Nine Sons Corps, each corps increased by 20 trillion troops.

The three major corps of Wei, Shu and Wu also increased by 10 trillion troops each.

However, in the back, the Four Evil Corps and Tang Dynasty Yama Guard, unexpectedly doubled!

This is a huge improvement.

Then look at the improvement of the Great Tang Tianwei Corps.

Don’t look at it, whether it is the main corps or the auxiliary corps, the number has decreased.

But look at their realm!

The auxiliary corps are all in the early stage of quasi-saints!

The main corps is even more outrageous!

A full two million quasi-saints in the middle stage!

This transformation of combat power is hard for Li Chengqian to imagine.

Once the Great Tang Tianwei Corps is sent out to fight.

Will the other three continents be directly shocked by a major earthquake?

Shaked his head.

After holding back the excitement in his heart and trying to stay calm.

Li Chengqian then instructed the Destiny Monument again: "Destiny Monument, continue."

"As you wish."

"Congratulations to the Lord of Destiny, you have successfully won the sixth reward: Naihe Bridge!"

[Naihe Bridge: Naihe Bridge is a place that must be passed through in Chinese Taoism and Chinese folk mythology to send people to reincarnate. There will be an elderly female deity named Meng Po next to Naihe Bridge, who will give each ghost a bowl of Meng Po soup to forget the memory of the previous life so that they can reincarnate into the next life. ]

[Related legend: According to legend, there is a road called Huangquan Road, a river called Wangchuan River, and a bridge called Naihe Bridge on it.

After walking across Naihe Bridge, there is a platform called Wangxiang Terrace. Next to Wangxiang Terrace, there is an old woman named Meng Po selling Meng Po soup. Next to Wangchuan River, there is a stone called Sansheng Stone. Meng Po soup makes you forget everything, and Sansheng Stone records your past and present lives. We walked across the Naihe Bridge, took a last look at the world on the Wangxiang Terrace, drank a cup of water from the Wangchuan River, "We are destined to be together in this life, but not together", so why force it?

This bridge is the boundary, and a new reincarnation begins.

The bluestone bridge surface, five steps, the west of the bridge is for women, the east of the bridge is for men, the left is yin and the right is yang. "If someone dies at the age of ninety-seven, wait for three years on the Naihe Bridge." A thousand years of looking back, a hundred years of promise. Perhaps the love between husband and wife in this life began here and ended here.

Thousands of feet under the Naihe Bridge, clouds and mists linger, waiting for the next life, no one knows. The promise of the next life is just a continuation of this life. After drinking Mengpo soup, everything has been forgotten. Meeting in the next life is just a new beginning.

Naihe Bridge, what can we do about the separation in the previous life, what can we do about the meeting in this life, and what can we do about the reunion in the next life.

"Mengpo Soup" is an ancient Chinese legend, which is recorded in an ancient book in Lanzi's family.

In that legend, people reincarnate from generation to generation. The end of this life is just the beginning of the next life.

People who cycle through life after life cannot have memories of their past lives, just because everyone drinks Mengpo soup on the Naihe Bridge before reincarnation to forget their past lives.

Therefore, walking on the Naihe Bridge is the last time a person has memories of this life.

At this moment, many people are still obsessed with the unfulfilled wishes of their previous lives, but they deeply understand that these wishes will never be realized, and they will let out a long sigh. This is also the reason why this bridge connecting the reincarnations of various lives is named Naihe Bridge. 】

"Friendly reminder: Naihe Bridge will only gradually show its power if the Lord of Destiny truly places it in the Tang Dynasty Underworld."

"Also, the Lord of Destiny needs to think about the location of its placement. Once it is placed, Naihe Bridge cannot be moved."

Good guy, after the Ox-Headed Horse-Face, Naihe Bridge is here again.

This is really to make the Tang Dynasty Underworld gradually perfect and get closer to the legendary Underworld.

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly, and he didn't realize that he had thought of a lot.

"Destiny Monument, continue."

Now, the disaster of Yin Kui has not been eliminated.

Next, there are plans for the other three continents.

For the time being, Li Chengqian has no time to go to the underworld to consider the placement of the Naihe Bridge.

Therefore, for the time being, Li Chengqian will not think about it anymore.

He can only wait.

Wait for a suitable time.

Li Chengqian will go to the underworld in person to place the Naihe Bridge.

"As you wish."

"Congratulations to the Lord of Destiny for successfully winning this reward seven: Wangchuan River."

[Wangchuan River: In Chinese mythology and legends, after death, people have to pass through the Ghost Gate and pass through the Yellow Spring Road. The Wangchuan River is the boundary between the Yellow Spring Road and the underworld.

The water of Wangchuan River is blood-yellow, and it is full of lonely ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows in the face.

There is a Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River. Beside the Naihe Bridge sits an old woman named Meng Po. To cross the Wangchuan River, one must cross the Naihe Bridge. One must drink Meng Po soup to forget the things of the past life. If one does not drink Meng Po soup, one cannot cross the Naihe Bridge and cannot be reborn.

[Related legend: In order to see the one you love most in this life again in the next life, you can choose not to drink Mengpo soup, but you must jump into the Wangchuan River and wait for a thousand years before reincarnation.

In a thousand years, you may see the one you love most in this life walking on the bridge, but you cannot communicate with each other through words. You can see her, but she cannot see you.

In a thousand years, you see her walking across the Naihe Bridge again and again, drinking bowl after bowl of Mengpo soup, hoping that she will not drink, but also afraid that she cannot bear the thousand years of suffering in the Wangchuan River, and the loneliness of waiting.

Drinking Mengpo soup, the past dreams are over, and the cause and effect are cut off.

Forget all the ups and downs of a lifetime, the love and hatred of a lifetime, and you will meet strangers in the next life without knowing each other; jumping into the Wangchuan River, in the dirty waves, you will be bitten by the copper snake and iron dog, and you will suffer torture without relief.

After a thousand years, if your mind is not extinguished and you can still remember the things in your previous life, you can return to the world and look for the one you love most in your previous life. 】

"Friendly reminder: Only by placing the Wangchuan River in the underworld can the power of the Wangchuan River be gradually manifested."

Oh?

The Wangchuan River is here again.

Moreover, it is the same as the Naihe Bridge.

They all need to be placed in the underworld to gradually manifest their power.

"Friendly reminder: Like the Naihe Bridge, once the placement of the Wangchuan River is chosen, it cannot be moved again."

"It's a bit interesting."

"Naihe Bridge, Wangchuan River, will you also make Huangquan Road for me?"

Today's rewards are really full of surprises.

Li Chengqian is in a good mood now.

At the moment, he said again: "Destiny Monument, continue."

"Congratulations to the Lord of Destiny, successfully won this reward eight: Huangquan Road!"

"Huh?"

"It's really Huangquan Road."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian was happy.

It's really Huangquan Road!

Now, Naihe Bridge, Huangquan Road, and Wangchuan River are all here.

If he had really chosen the right location and placed it.

Then the Tang Dynasty Hades would be really realistic and interesting.

Thinking about it, Li Chengqian himself could not help but feel a little excited.

[Huangquan Road: Fengdu, a ghost city in the Three Gorges of Chongqing, China.

After passing the Ghost Gate, you will come to Huangquan Road. Huangquan Road is a bluestone road about 2 meters wide and 50 meters long, and the road surface is not very flat.

Huangquan, in Chinese culture, refers to the place where people live after death.

When the spring well is deep, the water is yellow, and people are buried underground after death. Therefore, the ancients regarded the Huangquan area at the deepest part of the earth as the underground world where people live after death, that is, the underworld.

Huangquan is also called Jiuquan or under Jiuquan. Jiuquan refers to the depth of nine springs, or it is said that there are nine layers of heaven and nine layers of earth, which means it is very deep. The deepest part of the underground is called Huangquan.

In Chinese mythology and Taoist scriptures, Huangquan Road refers to the road that people take when they report to the underworld after death. 】

"Yellow Spring Road, Wangchuan River, Naihe Bridge."

"I think I really need to take some time to go to the Tang Dynasty Underworld."

"Wait, if they are placed well."

"Will there be any changes to the Tang Dynasty Underworld?"

While mumbling to himself, Li Chengqian suddenly thought of the problem that had been bothering him.

At this moment, he felt that perhaps the problem of the underworld that had been bothering him for a long time could be solved.
