Chapter 1: Three Points of the Underworld
Du Xuan woke up and found himself in an antique room.
Black walls, black screens, black beds, tables and chairs,... above the black candlesticks, there are black candles burning. Although the candlelight is white, it not only does not appear bright in this dark room, but also makes it gloomy.
"What's going on? Am I dead?" Du Xuan's mind flashed this year.
At the same time, he lowered his head and looked at his body, and suddenly realized that it was a piece of nearly transparent white smoke. At first glance, he directly saw the bed behind him through his body. Not only that, he also found that his feet were not on the ground at all, and he was actually hanging in the air.
"I'm a ghost now!"
Du Xuan blurted out his words, but before he could make a judgment and confirm, a voice sounded, giving him a negative answer.
"You are not a ghost, you are just a ghost!"
"Who? Where are you?" Du Xuan was shocked and shouted loudly.
"I'm not on you!" Along with the sound, a little light shone.
This light suddenly came from Du Xuan's chest, which shone with his already illusory body, even more ethereal. The core of the light was a palm-sized piece of triangle fragments on both sides. There were strange patterns on the fragments, and if you looked a little more carefully, you would feel dizzy.
In an instant, Du Xuan remembered that these triangle fragments were the "culprit" that caused his death.
Du Xuan is one of the million-dollar online writers in China. His daily job is to write, read, and daydream at home. It is a lot to go out three or five times a year. Yesterday, he was very quiet and wanted to go out to eat something good, but as soon as he left the door, he was hit by the fragments of the triangle flying from the sky, his head was bleeding and he died without treatment. That was so unlucky.
After thinking about it, Du Xuan was furious and shouted loudly, "Okay, you killed me and you dare to stay on me. I really think that scholars won't get angry! Get out of here!"
"Are you sure you want me to come out?" The triangle fragment asked leisurely without any haste.
As a writer, Du Xuan had thought a lot. After being asked this, dozens of possibilities instantly turned into his mind. He was sure that he could not say two words. However, he still had no good expression. He spoke again, "What the hell do you want to do?"
"I want to give you an infinitely brilliant future!" The voice of the triangle fragments instantly became taller, like a great man.
"I'm dead, what's the future?" Du Xuan heard this, and the anger that had just been suppressed rose in an instant.
"Who said that there is no future if you die? For you human race, death is the best way out! If you were not a pure blood human race, you just wanted me to kill you, I wouldn't want to!"
The Triangle Fragment spoke this time but it was no longer as exaggerated as before. Although it was even more arrogant, it unconsciously gave people a sense of convincing.
"So, I have to thank you!" Although Du Xuan felt a little curious, he still had irony.
"No, this is fate, it's mine, and it's yours!" said the Triangle Fragment lightly, "Don't you always want to have the same chance as the books you wrote on weekdays. This time it's it!"
"But I'm dead!" Du Xuan said again.
"You are dead only by your body, and your soul is still there!" said the Triangle Fragment extremely seriously, "If your body is still alive, then you can't see me yet! Adhering to the rules established by Nuwa and Houtu, I can only recognize the soul of the pure blood human race as the master, and nothing else can do."
"Recognize your master, are you a magic weapon?" Du Xuan, who lives on fairy tale novels, is naturally familiar with this.
"Yes, I'm just a fragment of the Book of Life and Death!" The voice of the triangle fragment was filled with arrogance again.
This time, Du Xuan had no thoughts of disgust, and was shocked. The treasure of the Book of Life and Death can be said to be known to all Chinese people. As long as the billions of creatures in the world do not become immortals, they will be subject to their control. With the judge's pen, it can be said that whoever wants to die will die, and whoever wants to live will live.
However, Du Xuan also heard the word "Shadow" and knew that there must be something strange in it. He asked immediately, "The Book of Life and Death is a magical weapon in the hands of the King of Hell, how could it be broken?"
"The Book of Life and Death is the magic weapon of the Queen of Houtu. The King of Hell is just a Buddhist lackey. How can I be qualified to own it?" The Triangle Fragment snorted coldly, "There is part of the reason for the fragmentation of the Book of Life and Death. These were originally the secrets of the underworld, but you have become my master, so you should understand these."
Next, the Triangle Fragments tells a great secret that is related to the three realms of heaven, earth, man and man.
It turns out that no matter what sect or sect, the last level of the monk's cultivation is to erase his name from the book of life and death. This involves the operation of the way of heaven, which is the most difficult part for the monk. However, it is an easy task for the Queen Houtu who is in charge of the book of life and death and the judge's pen. As long as you hold the pen with a hook, you can complete it.
Because of this, the old Taoist sect, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Buddhists of the Buddhists often ask for favors for their subordinates. The Three Pure Ones of the Mission in charge of reincarnation is the mission of heaven, and for justice, they naturally would not agree. At the beginning, the Buddhists and Taoist saints also expressed their understanding of this. However, as the power of both Buddhists and Taoist sects became stronger and stronger, more and more disciples needed to pass this level. Seeing that many disciples died because of this, they were unwilling to continue like this. They also knew that the Queen of the Houtu would definitely not open the back door, so they chose to fight.
The Buddhist and Taoist religions joined forces to attack the underworld, besieged the Queen of Houtu, smashed the Book of Life and Death, and divided it into three parts. One piece was continued to be controlled by the Queen of Houtu, and the remaining two pieces were divided by the two families, and each established its own underworld reincarnation. The Qinghua Underworld of Taoism was controlled by Taiyi Zhenren; the Jiuhua Underworld of Buddhism was controlled by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. From then on, the children of the two sects of Buddhism were no longer under the jurisdiction of Queen of Houtu, and their practice was a thousand miles a day, extremely fast, and their power grew stronger and stronger.
After the humiliation of Houtu, she naturally would not give up. She endured for thousands of years and took advantage of the breaking of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and finally took revenge. She joined hands with Nuwa, killed Emperor Gou Chen, one of the four emperors, and took the authority of the divine power of the heavenly way to set up a disaster for the cultivators. Emperor Gou Chen was originally a disciple of the Taoist sect, and naturally favored the Taoist sect. Buddhism suffered a lot of losses for this. Because of this, they were happy to see it and helped Empress Houtu Nuwa resist the anger of the saints of the Three Pure Land.
Sanqing knew that his family could not regain the clergy of Gou Chen, and the number of catastrophes set up by the clergy of Gou Chen was all external catastrophes, so he could use magic weapons, elixirs and other external forces to overcome it. It was different from the life and death book. Therefore, after the Queen of Houtu made the vow to set up a fair catastrophe, he stopped making peace.
Since then, the dispute between monks in the world has changed from a two-part world of Buddhism and Taoism to a three-legged tripod.
