Chapter 144: The Banquet (II)
In the eternally dim sky, a red moon suddenly rose.
There was dead silence all around, except for a vague clearing under the red moon, and a cold wind was blowing.
A dark black carriage with a golden edge, pulled by two horses, suddenly appeared from under the moon, and landed on the clearing, where the car was driving, and at the same time a black-robed ghost appeared.
"Master, after this underworld, it is the realm of this grandfather. The black-robed ghost sat stiffly in front of the cart, squeezing the horse pulling the cart, his lips did not move, but the sound came out naturally.
This is a ghost immortal, in the underworld, the soul with a slightly weaker strength is in danger at any time.
"You don't have to stop, go directly to the front of the palace, and someone will come to greet you. There was a cold voice in the carriage.
"Yes, Lord!" said no more, and the carriage continued.
The two wheels transformed into a large cloud of ghost fire, speeding up the march.
After the carriage had passed, the fog spread again from all sides, filling the place where the carriage had passed.
The red moon in the sky was also obscured by the fog again, and the ground was dead again.
It is as if this place has never been inhabited for thousands of years, and it has always been so silent.
In fact, it is.
This is not earthly, this is the first level to receive souls, there are no living people here only souls, and even souls cannot withstand the silence and energy fluctuations here.
Too many souls have been scattered into dust in this area, returning to heaven and earth as part of the transformation of souls.
Some souls have strong hearts and good luck, and they slowly accumulate soul power and become the most common inhabitants here, even in such a difficult living environment, there are still many people in the underworld.
The bright red moon, like human blood, faintly shines through the thick mist, above the sky, looking down on the beings of the underworld.
From south to north, from west to east, countless ghosts that had fallen silent in the darkness were in agony, howling, screaming, twisting and deformed, dissipating or turning into mindless demons in such a night.
Everywhere there was a hazy fog, and it was impossible to see the light of the fingers, as if the underworld was forever like this, silent in darkness, never ending.
Until entering the second layer, although it is gray, it isolates the confrontation between the yang and yin worlds, and enters the stable underworld, which is often dotted with light and light.
The biggest and most common place of light is the temple, in fact, most of the gods of the temple are yin gods, and the temple is transformed into a palace in the underworld.
These palaces are always shining brightly, turning decay into magic, and the palaces are full of birds and flowers, quiet and majestic, and inhabited by the families of the gods.
In the distance, there is a cry of pain, but now it is joy.
This is the faith and the light of merit in the yang world, which is the salvation that descends on the underworld, and is of great help to the cultivation of the soul.
Such a place is not something that can be obtained by ordinary souls.
Or the soul itself cultivates into a ghost and immortal to inspire the heavens and the earth, and then falls the light of merit.
Or the descendants of the world have great wealth and power, build temples, build ancestral halls, and sacrifice to their descendants, so they can be shaded by this, so that they can be blessed by light.
Or the soul was a cultivator of the earthly gate sect during his lifetime, and although he fell into the underworld after death, he was still blessed by the master in the underworld.
Or have been canonized as gods and received temple offerings and incense.
or the area transformed by the Yang Shi Feng Shui Treasure Land.
In short, there are all kinds of reasons that create a paradise in the underworld.
Shrouded in light and full of spiritual power, these places are definitely rare places of merit for the souls of the underworld—in fact, they are called blessed places in practice.
Most of these areas are lords, and the light of merit is revealed by its lord, even if it is forcibly captured, after changing hands, the light of merit will disappear, and it makes no difference whether to take it or not.
If you anger a high-grade ghost or god, the consequence is often that your soul is scattered, and the gain in doing so really outweighs the loss.
If you want to get protection, the only way is to take refuge in the ghosts and gods or even princes who have resources, but how can this kind of thing be easily achieved?
Wang Hongyi recovered the dragon sword and unified Shuzhong, the Shu dragon circled over the land of Shu, and the luck of Shuzhong was condensed.
A pillar of light shines down, as bright as the sun.
In the area, a majestic palace has doubled in size, illuminating the area, shining on the eaves of the temple, reflecting a gorgeous light, making people feel dazzling and gorgeous.
The floor of the palace is formed into patches of marble, the breeze blows, the spring not far away gushes out, and the green trees surround the palace, everything is so peaceful and serene.
Wang Zunzhi is a ghost and god, and he easily learned what happened above, and knew that Wang Hongyi had recovered the dragon sword and unified Shuzhong, and he was in a happy mood.
So Wang Hongyi feasted the ministers above, and Wang Zunzhi held a banquet in the underworld to invite guests.
As his invitation was issued, the nearby underworld was mobilized at the same time, and many ghosts and immortals and cultivators who received the invitation traveled to Wang Zunzhi's palace in their own way.
Gorgeous carriages, with strange shapes, came from all directions at the banquet, and their owners came to attend Wang Zunzhi's banquet.
"What's going on?"
"I'm afraid I was invited by my grandfather to come to the banquet, right?"
"Tsk!
In front of Wang Zunzhi's palace, some powerful souls passing by found that many carriages stopped in front of the palace, and they couldn't help but pause and whisper.
Soon they dispersed, and a group of sergeants with a solemn aura was approaching from a distance.
These soldiers, all of whom died in battle, were loyal and brave men during their lifetimes, and after their deaths, they entered the underworld, and because of their strong wills, they did not disperse and went to Wang Zunzhi.
They walked in unison, in great order, cautiously and cautiously as they made their rounds of the palace.
In front of the palace, the door is full of golden nails, the door is three feet high, very majestic and solemn, two huge night pearls, exuding brilliant light.
Along the palace gate, along the way, the night pearl is inlaid on the walls on both sides, which is dazzling.
Take a closer look, the palace is all built by beautiful jade, the big garden that stretches for several miles, there are many buildings and palaces, everywhere the golden garden jade pillars, the vermilion column and green tiles, the light is strange, and the weather is thousands.
The banquet began in half an hour.
Hold a banquet in the main hall, it is very gorgeous, there are multiple jade tables inside, the pearl is reflected, the more you feel that the light shines, you can't force your eyes, the cups are all treasures, all kinds of dishes, just look at it is already rare and delicious.
There are musicians, playing moving music, on the high platform, girls are dressed in light gauze, all beautiful, looking gentle and delicate, with a sense of softness and bonelessness.
The most bizarre thing is that these girls are very clean from top to bottom, and they are not stained with the slightest dust.
There were dozens of guests sitting in the hall, and Wang Zunzhi was wearing a crown dress of the marquis level, and he was sitting on the main seat.
A maid poured wine for him, smiled and raised a cup in her hand to everyone participating in the banquet, and said: "I think you have heard that my son sent troops to pacify the dragon sword in the human world and unified Shudi, which is a great joy, and many of you here are from Shudi, right? For the future prosperity of Shudi, the people live in peace and happiness, and our children and grandchildren enjoy the peaceful and prosperous world, and do this cup!"
As he spoke, Wang Zunzhi raised his head and drank the wine.
Most of these ghosts and gods invited by Wang Zunzhi were indeed born in Shu, even a few who had passed away for a hundred years, were very relieved when they heard the news of the unification of Shu, raised their wine glasses, and drank all the wine in it.
"Welling Gong, you have only set up these dozens of seats, but I am afraid that it will not be enough. After drinking this glass, a ghost sat down and suddenly spoke.
"Oh, I've invited all the people around, is there anyone else who hasn't been invited?" Wang Zunzhi asked in surprise.
This ghost and god laughed, not to mention, I saw that the area was as bright as day, everywhere was Qihua Yao grass, fighting for beauty, and the climate was much milder than outside, as if there was no other world.
Only then did he say: "Wei Linggong, I have five hundred years of life, and I understand that there is a deep connection between yin and yang. ”
"Everything in the mortal world will lay a foundation in the underworld, and this is called a prince and a king, and even more so. ”
"The place where you are is not by chance, but when you called the Marquis of Shu, there was a fixed number. ”
"In the past 2,000 years, dozens of marquis and kings have been feuded, all with Shu as their title, and in the past 2,000 years, the so-called foundation is deep, so there is such a rich foundation. ”
At this time, a young ghost asked, "Is it not okay to call other names?"
"Of course, to transform the underworld, it is really not overnight, there are people in the world who do not know, self-proclaimed kings of the great heng, the king of great victories, etc., are all miscellaneous names without foundation, not only the yang world must start from scratch, but the yin world must also start anew - to this glorious palace, which is easy? But the so-called yin and yang are against each other, and it is difficult to succeed in the end. ”
"And your son established the Duke of Shu and unified the land of Shu, so he inherited the foundation of dozens of generations of Shu lords, so I said, you have prepared too few banquets, if I expect it to be good, the old department of dozens of generations of Shu lords, some will take refuge in coming, although the dead die, those who go, those who don't come don't come, but these dozens of generations of savings, definitely a lot!"
When Wang Zunzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and sure enough, there was a muffled thunder in the distance, and the slightest tide was coming, and Wang Zunzhi couldn't help but climb the high platform and look at it from afar.
I saw that the flags were like clouds, and each of them had ghosts and gods and Yin soldiers coming, and they gathered in front of the palace and bowed down.
These ghosts and gods all have a hint of familiarity.
"These are all people from the former Marquis of Shu and the Kingdom of Shu, and now they are taking refuge in the new Lord of Shu. The guests present congratulated: "Welling Gong can raise 100,000 troops, and the civil and military are like clouds, which will lay the foundation and benefit the Yang world." The so-called Holy Son of Heaven has the care of all souls, and that's it. ”
Wang Zunzhi looked at it again, only to see that the palace received this worship, and in the clouds, there was a faint majesty, and the luck was the same as the surging river, endlessly.
Wang Zunzhi looked down at it, and then sighed: "I see!"
Looking at the success of the past dynasties, the country names of most dynasties are a country divided by ancient times, and this is the reason.
Occasionally, there are several differences, all of which were canonized by the imperial court, and they were paved by the luck of the imperial court.
There are very few people who really put forward an unprecedented country name, and start from scratch, and can still succeed.
Since the ancient times, the past has been inherited, and then the new dynasty has been created.
