I am the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 249: Ancient Emperor Ku, Lord of the Four Seasons.

Kunlun Mountain, the top of the mountain is barren, only wild animals gather. If a poet from the Central Plains comes here, he will only leave a sigh that is not worthy of the name.

At this time, a deep sigh came from the top of Kunlun Mountain.

Judging from the voice, it should be a woman, and the only woman on the top of Kunlun Mountain is the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the West is the legendary god of punishment and evil, with tiger teeth and leopard tail, and lives in Xuanpu, Kunlun.

When news of Ji Man's disappearance came, Queen Mother Xi completely lost hope.

It seems that relying on others is useless. Only by relying on yourself can you have a chance to escape.

The two masters of Yin and Yang sound close to each other, and there are even legends in the world that the two are a pair. In fact, the two are ordinary Taoist friends, but because of their correspondence, they came up with the idea of ​​cooperation.

In fact, the Queen Mother of the West wanted to cooperate with the people of the Central Plains Dynasty.

The Western Regions are mostly remnants of the previous dynasty, exotic beasts from the mountains and seas, and their descendants. They have indulgent and surly temperaments and will not work hard to govern. Whenever they get benefits, they just enjoy them and do not think about expanding their advantages and moving forward.

Queen Mother Xi helped them eight hundred times, but it still ended like this.

Later, he connected with Zhou Guo and paid an elixir, which turned out to be the same for Zhou people, which made the Queen Mother of the West doubt her ability.

Is it because I am not good enough, or is it that the person I like is not good enough?
Maybe it's time to change the target, and simply reincarnate like Ji Man.

The two kingdoms of Qi and Lu.

Linzijixiaxuegong.

This is a palace specially built for the two masters of heaven and earth.

Faced with the relentless offensive of the armies of the two masters of heaven and earth, the people of Qi simply surrendered.

The relationship between Qi and Zhou dates back hundreds of years. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and Qi has become worse with each generation, as if all the ingenuity and wisdom of the ancestors have been used up, and nothing has been left to future generations.

Seeing that the opponent's army was so strong, the leader of Qi suddenly thought that it would be better to join the two masters of heaven and earth. This might be an opportunity for the family to prosper.

The king of Lu was also earned by him.

In the academy, a man with a black crown and a black robe sat on the throne, and the king of Qi, Jiang Taixu, reported on the world situation.

"The Wu Kingdom, which is currently the strongest, is guarded by the Sun and Moon Lords and two Earth Immortals. It is a kingdom of ten thousand chariots!"

"The bright side? Could it be that there is a dark side?" Xuan Ming sat up straight when he heard the words, wondering.

"Of course there is. I think Chu State should be the strongest. On the surface, there are underground masters of the earth immortals, but I think there should be more than one. Back then, Ji Man, Chi You, and even the two masters of the sun and moon suffered great losses from him. Chu State has never been defeated!"

Jiang Taixu has a high opinion of Chu State, or most of the current evaluations are like this, with great strength and never failed.

The Shinto system built by the underground master is like an iron barrel. As long as they are on their territory, those people are like crazy, their strength has skyrocketed, and it is useless for anyone to come.

As for the Jiuli Kingdom established by Chi You, that has to be ranked at the back.

"Then Chu is the strongest, followed by Wu, Jiuli, and Zhou."

As for the Zhou Kingdom, everyone has never taken it seriously. Now the Zhou Kingdom is in decline and there is no chance of a comeback. They can only rely on formations to defend the country.

Among the strategies of the two masters of heaven and earth, Zhou Kingdom is still at the end, and now their target is no longer the Central Plains.

The Central Plains is the land of four battles, especially when there are strong enemies around. If you rashly occupy the Central Plains, you will be taken advantage of by the opponent.

It would be better to keep the Zhou Kingdom as a buffer zone for various forces. In the future, after unifying the world and defeating all powerful enemies, it would not be too late to conquer the Zhou Kingdom.

Xuan Ming thought for a long time and said to everyone: "Let's do this. Don't start a war recently. Let's develop with peace of mind. We will talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future."

It would be too reckless to start fighting directly.

Without the strength to deal with many forces at the same time, it is better to develop with peace of mind.

This is the best strategy.

Moreover, the overseas people on Penglai Island have not yet completely settled down. Once these barbarians lose control, they will immediately start fighting among themselves.

On the other side, the news of the good relationship between Zhou and Chu spread throughout the world, and from then on, they connected from the Central Plains to the south, forming a powerful ally.

After this incident, the world seemed to fall into a strange calm. No force acted rashly and seemed to be waiting for the other party to take action. Even the bellicose Jiuli Kingdom still did not make any move.

Of course, the world is not without wars, and local frictions still occur.

At this moment, a great drama was taking place on the border of Wu State, chasing death and chasing north.

The golden crow flew across the sky, and the sun-god feathered people followed behind. The large black crow reflected the world in red.

Sitting on the golden-eyed beast, Ji Zhao turned into a beam of light and quickly returned to the direction of Li Zhu.

There are not many soldiers left behind to kill him.

"Wrong, all wrong."

He felt extremely regretful at this moment. The intelligence was wrong. He originally thought that the two masters of the sun and moon were seriously injured and could not take care of the war on the border.

Therefore, all the people from Li Zhu chose to send troops.

At the beginning, the results were fruitful, and a lot of achievements were indeed achieved, and even lost territory was recovered.

According to the original strategy, after regaining the lost land, you can go back.

But Ji Zhao was greedy. Seeing that the state of Wu was so weak, he wanted to destroy the state of Wu in one fell swoop and dominate Haidai.

Unexpectedly, they were caught in a trap, and all of them fell into someone else's net.

Not to mention regaining lost ground, even life-saving is a problem.

The Golden Crow pursuers were getting closer and closer, and Ji Zhao was already sweating profusely.

When we were approaching the border of Vietnam, we saw the army of Wu Geng and others in front.

Ji Zhao rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of an excellent strategy, so he shouted: "Fellow Taoist, help me!!"

Why don't you just bring trouble to the east!

"Come here!"

Wu Geng said.

Even if he was facing the two masters of the sun and the moon, he was not afraid at all.

Ji Zhao came to the crowd's camp and was about to run to the rear to take refuge, but was held back by Wu Geng.

"What do you want to do? Are you using us to block the knife? If so, then I will attack you first."

Ji Zhao smiled awkwardly and said: "How can this be so? It's just that he ran too fast and the beast under his crotch couldn't hold it down."

At this time, golden light penetrated the dark clouds.

The Great Golden Crow came into everyone's sight, and soon, the sky fire was about to fall.

Wu Geng shouted loudly: "The Japanese Lord Xihe wants to start a war with my Shinto?"

In the sky, the menacing Xi He suddenly stopped.

Xihe wanted to cover it up with a flame, but he was afraid of falling into the other party's trap.

It's so weird.

From the beginning, Ji Zhao seemed very abnormal. They usually kept a low profile and dared to attack the Wu Kingdom. After their escape, they were supported by people from the Chu Kingdom.

The faces of the people in Chu State were as usual. It is not known whether they are putting on airs or have other plans.

For a while, Xi He couldn't make up his mind.

Could it be that the underground master is here?
The underground master's style is relatively insidious. He never takes the initiative to show off. He usually fights to a certain level and then comes out to determine the outcome.

This kind of person is the most insidious and difficult to guard against.

Xihe didn't want to leave now, so it would be easy.

"Tell your underground masters to come out and speak!!"

Xi He thought to himself that if the underground master didn't come out, he would set a fire and leave. Anyway, he was injured and had no time to spend with them.

Whoa!
Fire appeared out of nowhere in the void.

A man in mysterious robes walked out, with dark eyes between his brows.

"Are you calling me?"

The crowd greeted each other.

"God Lord!"

"The Lord God is here!"

As soon as Tang Ping appeared, Xihe gave up all thoughts of stepping forward. His injuries were not healed yet. If he was trapped here, Qilu on the other side might make a move, and then the Moon Lord would be in danger.The two should be one.

"Hmph, the future is long."

Xihe said a harsh word and left the place immediately.

Looking at Xi He's leaving figure, Tang Ping thought to himself: "Let me save your life first. When Dong Jun is born in the future, you may still be my subordinate."

When he came to the crowd, he saw Ji Zhao and said straight to the point: "Take me to your forbidden area."

Ji Zhao was just about to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them immediately.

The subterranean master in front of him is obviously not easy to talk to, so he still doesn't want to get into trouble, so he forced a smile and said: "Of course, you are my savior, let alone forbidden places, you can go anywhere."

If you think about it carefully, it doesn't hurt to go to the forbidden area.

From ancient times to the present, countless people have wanted to enter and find the secret of the forbidden area, but no one has succeeded.

This underground master must be no exception.

The others went back, and Tang Ping took Wu Geng and followed Ji Zhao here to leave the capital of the Zhu Kingdom.

As expected, there are many bird people near the Li Zhu Kingdom. These bird people are different from the feather people. The feather people are mainly bird-like and are essentially demons; the bird people here are aliens.

Seeing Ji Zhao's return, the strangers prostrated themselves by the side of the road, scrutinizing Tang Ping and the others secretly.

Soon, we arrived at Liwang Palace.

The palace is extremely gorgeous, decorated with various types of jade, the most numerous of which are carvings of hundreds of birds.

The crowd did not stop, but passed through the palace.

There is a giant floating island in the back mountain. There is a strange tree on the island. The fruit is golden and looks a bit like an apple.

The trees are so big that they cover the entire floating island.

This is where the two of them settled.

Seeing the curiosity of the two people, Ji Zhao explained: "This is the ancestral bird tree. Taking this fruit can awaken the blood of birds in the body and awaken the magical powers of random birds."

Most of the bird-footed people, bird-headed people, and bird-feather people that Tang Ping met on the road came from this.

"You two want to try and pick whatever you want. You're welcome. The fruit tastes quite good." Ji Zhao said with a smile.

It's not that they were harmed. The power of these fruits would not change the essence of the two strong men's lives.

"Forget it." Tang Ping looked around and found that the surroundings were filled with rich wood essence. "Is this your forbidden area? Where is the residence of the Lord of the Four Seasons?"

"Yes, it seems very simple, but I promise, this is a forbidden area. You can ask anyone in the royal family."

Ji Zhao seemed to have expected that the other party would ask this question a long time ago, and after speaking, he led the two of them to the shade of the tree.

Here is an ancient stele ten feet high. The stele is made of ordinary granite, with moss on it, and four kinds of patterns can be seen faintly.

The four colors are both patterns and characters.

"This is the monument of the four seasons. Spring is Qingyang, summer is Zhuming, autumn is Baizang, and winter is Xuanying."

Ji Zhao introduced it to everyone, and based on the principle that everyone could not understand it, he also introduced it generously.

Tang Ping stepped forward and touched the inscription engraved on it.

This thing is very simple, extremely simple, with no mysterious formations or other miscellaneous materials.

This is the great road.

The four seasons reincarnate, the way of endless life.

This reminded Tang Ping of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The great ways of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are of the same origin. As the last emperor, Emperor Shun had many shadows of Emperor Yao in his scriptures.

Emperor Yao's Dao is a formation, a method of imitating the movement of heaven and earth, not a specific Dao.

Therefore, he did not leave behind specific cultivation methods, but a framework for understanding.

And what is in front of you is the rule of the cycle of seasons.

The three emperors have a common characteristic, that is, simplicity and greatness.

If this stone tablet is placed in the mortal world, it is unlikely that anyone passing by will look at it.

"Which one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is this? Could it be the Human Emperor?"

The Human Emperor Shennong clan, with such a strong aura of life, might even be the Human Emperor.

But not quite.

The Human Emperor was obviously inappropriate in the Li Zhu Kingdom, and the ancestor of the Li Zhu people was not him.

"Huang Di, Zhuan Xu, and Di Ku."

Tang Ping guessed it might be Emperor Ku.

Zhuanxu, as a god-man of the Jedi and Tiantong, what is left behind will not be so straightforwardly exposed to the world.

Zhuanxu has too many opponents, and everyone wants to defeat the Jedi Tiantong. Besides, the Jedi Tiantong should have little to do with the Four Seasons.

Then there is only one possibility left.

"Wu Geng, come here and feel it."

"I?"

Wu Geng was confused and put his hand up.

It was incredible to put it up, and I actually felt that the great road in the dark seemed to be connected with my own blood.

"This is it?" Wu Geng was shocked.

Ji Zhao on the side was even more surprised.

Could it be that they are really geniuses?
"This is what the Emperor Ku left, and the Emperor Ku should be the Lord of the Four Seasons."

Emperor Ku is the ancestor of the Zhou people and merchants, and Wu Geng is the direct descendant of the merchants. According to blood, he should be closer to Emperor Ku.

That's why Tang Ping asked Wu Geng to step forward and give it a try.

I didn't expect to find it.

"Have you realized anything?" Tang Ping asked.

"No." Wu Geng shook his head in distress.

"Then I'll do it myself." Then he turned to look at Ji Zhao and said, "I will be in retreat here from now on. If I have nothing else to do, I don't need to come here to disturb you."

"This... okay." Ji Zhao was about to retort. It was obviously his own thing, but he ended up looking like an outsider. However, the other party saved his life anyway. After thinking about it, he still compromised.

After that, Tang Ping went into seclusion, with Wu Geng protecting the law.

While protecting the Dharma, he was also observing, maybe he could understand something from the tablet.

Years go by.

The forbidden area behind the mountain exudes a mysterious artistic conception over time.

This is not a spell, but an artistic conception.

People who enter a certain range feel inexplicably peaceful, and their own hidden wounds will be repaired over time.

The people from Li Zhu asked Ji Zhao and learned that outsiders had entered the forbidden area. They were a little dissatisfied at first, but after seeing the benefits, they gradually stopped saying anything.

Under the tree, Tang Ping entered into deep meditation.

This is not the mausoleum of Emperor Ku, but a treasure book left by Emperor Ku to future generations.

In the process of comprehending the book, Tang Ping probably understood something.

The birth of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was actually a process of fighting for life with gods and demons.

In ancient times, the phenomena of heaven and earth were controlled by gods and demons, and so were the four seasons of heaven and earth.

Whenever they were dissatisfied, their lives would be immediately devastated. When Gonggong and Zhu Rong fought, countless people died.

Through the efforts of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, these powers finally returned to heaven and earth.

Emperor Ku killed four kinds of gods and demons back then and seized his avenue.

This is the origin of the Lord of the Four Seasons.
