Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 1261
Nai River Bridge.

Guarded by the God of Day and Night, Li Yan strolled on the narrow and smooth bridge, staring at the blood river below.

This river is called the Nai River. It is full of insects and snakes, the waves are rolling, and the wind is blowing. Once the ghost falls into it, just like the description in the original Journey to the West, copper snakes and iron dogs will fight for food, and they will fall into the Nai River forever and have no way out.

There is also a folk saying that good people are protected by gods or Buddha and can cross the bridge smoothly, while evil people will be thrown into the river of blood and be punished forever.

However, Li Yan already knew that there is no such distinction between good and evil in the Blood River. The main purpose is to detect the existence of Mengpo soup. Only ghosts who drink the soup and have no distracting thoughts can walk steadily on this dangerous bridge. , Cross the Yellow Spring Road and return to the world.

So coming and going at this time is also a practice.

The day tour god and night tour god next to them were very worried at first, holding the soul-inducing banner, ready to help at any time.

As a ghost of the underworld, the danger of Naihe Bridge is clear. This celestial master in the world is the benefactor who healed the ten temples of Yama, so he must not lose anything.

However, gradually, the two gods of the underworld realized that they seemed to be worrying too much.

No matter how turbulent the river of blood was, how raging the yin qi was, this person's steps were extremely calm, coming and going freely, not inferior to the gods of the underworld, and more light and unrestrained.

Between the surprised eye contact between Day Youshen and Ye Youshen, he couldn't help showing awe: "I, like ghosts and immortals, can't bear the air of this sea of ​​blood. How can this human immortal have such supernatural powers?"

The Tathagata Buddha once said that there are heaven, earth, human, gods, ghosts and five immortals in the world. Needless to say, Taiyi immortals, Haiyue immortals, and Zhushidi immortals, they are all reported in the heavenly court. Those who hide in the secular world are human immortals, and the last ghost immortals are not lonely ghosts and wild ghosts cultivating to become immortals, but existences such as land and mountain gods, city gods and officials, and underworld underworld officials.

Yama of the Ten Halls, Judges of the various halls, and even the gods of the underworld such as the Day Tour God and Night Tour God can be classified as ghosts and immortals. The city gods in the world are even ghost immortals, and even the land gods are ghost immortals.

For example, the land in Wuzhuang Temple, Wukong didn't know the characteristics of ginseng fruit, after hitting it, he burrowed into the ground and disappeared. When he asked how he dared to steal it, the land explained anxiously, "This treasure is a thing of the earth fairy, and the little god is a Guixian, how dare you take it?"

From this sentence, it can be seen that although the five immortals are not ranked, they are ranked in ranks after all.

Celestial immortals, gods, and earth immortals all have seats at the Pantao Festival. Human immortals don't want to be restrained, and their reputations don't show up in the world.

The embarrassing location of the underworld has something to do with it.

However, ghost immortals also have advantages that the other four immortals do not have, that is, the use of yin qi, and they are also quite resistant to turbid qi. This is also the first batch of land and mountain gods in the world to recover. Although the underworld is inevitably chaotic, it continues to operate. reason.

Now the use of this yin energy has been learned by the immortal in front of him.

Li Yan is indeed studying.

He doesn't care about the division of status, what he values ​​is the control of power.

The way of yin and yang, and the distinction between clear and turbid, are all mutual generation and mutual restraint, and they are one with each other. Excessive pursuit of one end will reduce the endurance and make it difficult to resist the variables of the world. Now I have the opportunity to deeply understand the yin, so naturally I can't miss it.

But in all fairness, the power of this river of blood is indeed terrifying. Every step you take, there are countless voices of mourning, which first echo in your ears, and then quickly hit your heart. , seems to drown everything.

On the surface, Li Yan strolled in the courtyard, but in fact, he fully used his mana to resist this erosion and maintain the balance in his body.

"Such an impact is by no means inferior to the Nine Tribulations!"

Although he has not personally experienced the Nine Tribulations, he can roughly tell that walking back and forth on the Naihe Bridge without protection is not inferior to an experience of confronting the Nine Tribulations head-on.

However, compared to the Nine Tribulations, there is no unified way to deal with it. It is easy to cross this bridge, just drink the Mengpo soup boiled in the pot beside the bridge.

In addition, one has to stay in the underworld for a long time, absorb Yin Qi to practice, and transform the soul body into a half-ghost body before crossing the bridge safely.

"Princess Wansheng wanted to do this in order to successfully retain the memory of her previous life, and the reincarnation king said that the soul body does not drink Mengpo soup, and is reincarnated directly. It is also a congenital stupidity after reincarnation. It is still conservative, and the probability of immediate death is higher... ..."

"Then how did the large number of souls reincarnated in the past avoid the erosion of Yin Qi?"

"If you can do it in a hurry, at least it is at the level of the immortal family. With this strength, why bother to reincarnate in a hurry, and help the demon in Cuiyun Palace control the underworld, wouldn't it be better?"

After practice, the doubts in Li Yan's heart became deeper and deeper, and he always felt that the situation in this underworld was full of fog.

The truth is still being explored, but he walked over the Naihe Bridge again, his eyes turned, and he was attracted by the ghosts of the dead coming from a distance.

Recently, due to the failure of many instruments in the underworld, the [-]th floor of hell is out of control, and the souls of the dead cannot be released into the human world at will, the pressure on the ten halls is huge, and the number of dead souls from outside is even more crowded, but the number is still exaggerated.

Li Yan asked: "Where is that?"

Riyoushen replied: "It's a dead city."

Li Yan's eyes moved: "Go and have a look."

Day and night, wandering gods have no choice but to surround him and head towards the area of ​​the sixth hall.

The so-called death in vain refers to the ghosts who did not live according to the lifespan in the book of life and death. Most of them were caused by murders, wars, accidents and other accidents.

As for the city of vain death, it is a city created by the ghost of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who died of an innocent disaster. It is adjacent to Naihe Bridge and the blood basin of suffering.

These unjust souls who died in vain did not enter the city to suffer, but to wait until the end of their original destiny. For example, if someone is destined to die at the age of 80, but is unfortunately killed by a thief at the age of 30, he will wait in the city of vain for 50 years. , and went to the city to wait and see to see if the murderer received what he deserved.

Until the murderer gets retribution with his own eyes and the resentment is comforted, he will be released from all the palaces and prisons, and then reincarnated according to his good and evil in life, or reward or punishment.

That is to "rescue the souls of the dead from the city of vain death, wait until the murderer arrives, and see the suffering, so that the victims can dispel their hatred."

Interestingly, Li Shimin of Journey to the West heard the ghosts of his defeated generals and princes wailing for his life in front of the city of death, and there must be the ghosts of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji among them, so he insisted on holding a water and land conference , to save the souls of the dead from rebirth, and to make trouble again.

Now those rules are gone, and the City of Dead Dead has become a pure detention place, and the underworld guards are strictly guarded to prevent these resentful dead souls from causing chaos.

But when Li Yan arrived outside the city, there was already a lot of resentment inside, wailing everywhere, and there were mercilessly whipping and berating from the underworld: "Be honest!"

Worried about the chaos, Day Tour God and Night Tour God floated over to have a look, and frowned: "They are all new ghosts, it seems that there is another big war in the world..."

As for Xiaoqian's plan, only Yan Luo, the tenth temple, is fully aware of Xiaoqian's plan and cooperates with him. The judges under his command only know that the female ghost who is with the celestial master is training the souls rescued in the past, but they don't know what they are going to do. An earth-shattering event.

Naturally, regarding the situation of Wa Kingdom being captured on the island, neither the Day Tour God nor the Night Tour God knew, but Li Yan also stepped forward to observe the composition of the dead souls.

At a glance, the results are gratifying. More than [-]% of the dead were Japanese, and they still kept their costumes, which can be identified at a glance. The rest were mostly Korean soldiers, and the Ming army was the smallest.

It can be seen that the Ming army won.

And it's a big victory!

Li Yan also noticed that among the dead Japanese souls, the eyes of hatred were focused on the North Korean soldiers, and they were talking nonsense. Although they couldn't understand, the object of their hatred was very clear.

"Hu Ruzhen can indeed take on the important task of helping the weak and turning the world around!"

Li Yan could tell at a glance that Hu Zongxian used the Joseon Dynasty in order to calm down as soon as possible. I am afraid that except for those Japanese who were killed by the Ming army on the frontal battlefield, most of the Japanese swung their butcher knives.

Wars have always been like this, sympathy for the enemy is cruelty to one's own side, but with such a method, the civil servants in the court may not want to stop.

Hu Zongxian knew that he had the possibility of joining the cabinet and even becoming the chief assistant, but he was still not timid. He put the war first, and it was the overall situation that was the most important, which is commendable!
After all, the word "responsibility" is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.

Not to mention the officials, how could the Daoist emperor let his subordinates take the blame all day long, how could he be responsible?

Satisfied with the performance of the Ming army and Hu Zongxian, Li Yan took out the ghost ticket and handed it over: "I trouble the two generals to select the dead souls of the Ming army and give them preferential treatment so that they will not suffer from confinement..."

If the order of the underworld returns to normal, Li Yan will firmly maintain it and will not make an exception. Now that it is still in chaos, seeing these sacrificed Ming soldiers, they will be rescued, and it is best to arrange a good afterlife.

Seeing that the great benefactor of Hades was still so polite, Sun Youshen and Ye Youshen skillfully accepted the ticket, smiling all over their faces: "Thank you, Heavenly Master! Don't worry, we will definitely arrange it properly!"

Soon groups of souls of the Ming army were brought out. Seeing this scene, the ghosts of the Japanese gave up.

In the scene where ghosts were crying and gods were howling, Li Yan glanced out of the corner of his eye, and a familiar figure flashed past, pointing at him: "Bring that dead ghost here."

Hearing the words, Ye Youshen stretched out his palm, and with a swirl of sinister energy, he captured it, but he was a short and unattractive man.

Li Yan looked at him with a calm tone: "Kato Duanzo, why are you hiding?"

This person is none other than the ninja Kato Duanzang who once stole into Tianshi's mansion, and later deliberately left him, but he did not expect to see him again in the city of vain death.

"Master Da Ming..."

Kato Duanzang was even more difficult to accept. He died tragically, but the other party was safe and sound. He still maintained his majesty and indifference. Arched at the waist, the already short body was almost curled into a ball.

But it was found after all.

Li Yan picked out this ninja, not specifically for the purpose of attacking him, but was a little surprised at the death of the other party: "You are a first-class ninja, but you died in the early stage of the war. Could it be that you failed to assassinate the general before the battle?"

Kato Danzo kept his mouth shut.

Li Yan saw that it was not the case, and was about to ask another question, when Ye You's dark voice sounded: "Why should the Celestial Master bother talking, just search for the soul!"

Kato Danzo trembled all over, but still clenched his teeth, showing no intention of yielding.

Thinking about the inhuman training that the ninja received, and this is the soul of death in vain, Li Yan nodded lightly: "There may be something strange about this person's death, please trouble me!"

"Good talk! Good talk!"

Although this person didn't hand over another stack of ghost tickets, which made Ye Youshen feel a little pity, he still grabbed out his pale palm and put it directly on top of Kato Duanzang's head.

Kato Duanzang's ethereal soul suddenly distorted in ripples, his mouth opened angrily, and there seemed to be a silent howl, and a light spot slowly squeezed out from between his eyebrows.

Like opening a book, the memories of this ninja clearly appeared in front of him.

The first is deep regret.

He hated both Yan Shifan and himself.

Yan Shifan was brought to the island by Kato Danzo, and then he was bewitched by the evil thoughts. He followed him by mistake and killed many important names such as Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin.

This directly led to the current defeat.

The daimyo was killed suddenly, and they were all tyrannical figures who kept their promises. The political balance that originally surrounded them collapsed in an instant, and the countries were in chaos.

The emperor, who existed in name only, originally called on the islands and continents to gather to fight, but there was no long-sighted ruler willing to take the order. He waited until the Ming army had a long drive, and then became alarmed, but it was too late. Under the protection of the dragon god, the momentum was like a rainbow The Ming army retreated steadily.

Kato Duanzo naturally regretted it.

After remorse, there is the hope of redemption.

Kato Duanzang was not completely desperate for the advantage occupied by the Ming army, because Wa country still had a strong spiritual circle.

But soon, he discovered that the practice world had also been severely damaged. The release of the Hundred Ghosts at Night Map caused the most severe counterattack to those onmyojis and monks who were supposed to save the souls of the dead. When it comes to ghosts eating souls, the souls can't even enter the underworld, and their bodies and spirits are destroyed on the spot.

The key is that in the land of the gods, there is also Yamata no Orochi who escaped from the trap, devoured the practitioners who did not participate in the ghost refining on the spot, and then fled into the sea and disappeared...

When Duanzo Kato searched hard, only found a few scattered branches, and the number of practitioners was less than half a hundred, and finally despaired.

But at that moment, the only remaining Onmyoji gave him an idea.

But here, the memory stops abruptly.

A layer of familiar mist emerged.

"It's fog again?"

Regarding the previous memories, Li Yan was very calm. He was responsible for the defeat of the Wa Kingdom. Of course, it was not surprising, but when this familiar fog appeared in Kato Duanzo's memory, his expression finally changed.

The deep-seated secrets of the Great Wish World are still covered by mist, but after all, it is a major event related to the situation of the world. This little ninja is actually covered up in his memory?
Li Yan observed the fog, feeling a little eager to try.

Because this layer of mist is much thinner than that of the Great Wish Realm, the secrets that Kato Duanzo has come into contact with are obviously not as serious as that.

Everything from the simple to the deep, he made a decisive decision, combining the four major violations, sacrifices and resentment, and Naihe's resentment, his five fingers shone brightly, and he flicked lightly.

Under the expectant gaze, the thin layer of mist was blown away a bit, Kato Duanzang's soul was shocked, and new memories emerged intermittently:
"Looking for the three artifact spirits...save me Fusang..."

"No... the three artifact spirits... are not the weapon spirits..."

"The real murderer... the real murderer..."
