Eternal Tranquility

Immortal Yi said: "Extraditing people is a duty entrusted by heaven."

"Responsibility?" Liu Qinghuan had never heard of this term before and asked: "The way of heaven refers to the laws of heaven and earth, the principles of all things, and is the general term for all the ways in the world. How can we give people responsibilities if it is not some force or sect?"

Immortal Yi smiled faintly: "Fellow Taoist, you are in trouble. Didn't you work as a ferryman in the past? There shouldn't be a decree from the sky."

Liu Qinghuan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case: "When I became a ferryman, when I advanced to become a god, I melted into the mortal world and sent the souls of the dead to the underworld. So, what is the duty of this extraditer?"

At this time, the two of them had landed next to the big river. There was a very high cliff there, with steps extending upward, and a high platform standing on the top.

"This is..." Liu Qinghuan felt familiar, and after thinking for a while, he realized that this was exactly the same as the altar at the bottom of the lake outside, except that the altar outside was upside down, while here it was arched towards the sky.

Immortal Yi did not lead him to the altar, but looked at the rolling gray-blue mist under his feet, with a somewhat lonely look on his face.

Liu Qinghuan pondered for a moment and decided to put aside the altar matter for the time being, and first find out what he wanted to know most.

"Senior Yi, what is the duty of extraditing people?"

Immortal Yi seemed to suddenly come back to his senses and said: "Didn't you also see that the dead souls in the Forgotten City are all people abandoned by the way of heaven. They can neither cultivate nor die. In the end, they can only get one The result is that my soul is gone and I no longer exist in the world.”

As he spoke, a strange light suddenly shot out from his two burnt-black eye holes, giving people a sense of deep gaze: "However, there is no end to the road, and there is always a glimmer of hope. Completely hopeless. The extraditer is such an existence, which can reopen the reincarnation of the abandoned and forgotten souls. As long as they cross the river of maze, they will have a chance to start over again! "

The other party's tone became more and more agitated. He waved his hand several times before calming down slightly. He suddenly sighed: "It's too difficult, it's too difficult. We've all waited too long. It's been a long time since the last extraditer disappeared. For tens of thousands of years, I don’t know where he died, and there has been no one to take over. But now, we finally have the successor..."

"Inheritance?" Liu Qinghuan finally found the opportunity to interject and said in surprise: "Isn't extradition a gift from heaven? Why is inheritance involved?"

Immortal Yi laughed, with a hint of madness in his expression: "You don't think there are many extraditers, do you? Hahaha, just like my previous status as a Heavenly Punisher, Heaven will only choose one person to inherit it and perform its duties. "

"I see……"

Liu Qinghuan was greatly surprised. He had imagined that after entering the Yin-Yang Market Queen, she might get some kind of blood inheritance, just like the blood of those powerful divine beasts in the Yin-Moon Blood Realm. After experiencing all kinds of time and space confusion, he thought inheritance was related to time. When we meet the real person Wen Shi, maybe he can inherit the orthodoxy of the founder of the sect?

But now, Immortal Yi told him that the so-called inheritance was actually an inheritance from heaven!

But now when I think back on this journey, from the beginning of choosing one of the two doors to the fight between him and Yujiu to finally resolve the grudge and cause and effect, in the final analysis, we still have to return to the word Tao.

This extraditer is probably just like the ferryman, because what he practices is the way of reincarnation.

Liu Qinghuan raised his head: "But, I still don't know something. Why did you choose me? I am not the only one who practices the reincarnation of life and death in this world, but you seem to have determined that I am the person to extradite."

"That's because..." Immortal Yi lowered his head and suddenly asked: "Where did you get the pen you are holding?"

Liu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows. Because of the attitude of those dead souls before, he never took back the Qianqiu Reincarnation Pen.

"In an ancient secret realm, I also want to ask fellow Taoists, you seem to be extremely concerned about my magical weapon from the beginning, but why?"

Immortal Yi said: "Because this pen of yours is modeled after the Judge's Pen in the underworld. It is an extremely powerful treasure of the soul of life. It is the only one in the world. And as far as I know, it has also appeared in the world before." "In the hands of an extraditer."

Liu Qinghuan said "Ah": "I see..."

The Qianqiu Reincarnation Pen actually has such a history, and the last owner was also an extraditer?

"By the way, there is something else I want to tell you." Immortal Yi said: "The ferryman is just a small messenger between the mortal world and the world of death. If you become the extraditer, you will be recognized by heaven. , you can have immortal items in the future.”

"Immortal grade?" Liu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat: "Immortal grade?"

Immortal Yi's expression suddenly became dazed, and he said after a while: "It's almost the same idea. There is a sequence of cultivation, and there are high and low levels of becoming an immortal. After our monks ascend to the immortal world, in addition to being different from the monks in the mortal world due to their level of cultivation, In addition to being divided into superior immortals, mysterious immortals, heavenly immortals, true immortals, spiritual immortals, and earthly immortals, there are also immortals."

Although there are occasional mentions of the fairy world in various classics, most of them are unclear. Thinking of the rumors that the person in front of him was once a person from the immortal world, Liu Qinghuan was not surprised that he knew so much.

I just don’t know how this person ended up in this situation. Not only did he fall from the immortal level back to the mortal level, but now he has no body left and is blind in one eye.

But he couldn't ask such personal matters. If he accidentally poked someone's pain point, it would be unsightly, so he just asked: "What is the immortal product?"

Immortal Yi said: "Those who are immortals need to be recognized by heaven, or they have done great good and evil when they were ordinary, or they have great luck, etc., or they are like us..."

Having said this, he paused suddenly, and then continued: "...Every monk in the mortal world will get an immortal certificate when he first arrives in the immortal world, but it only has his real name, so the immortal product is not easy to obtain, and it is thousands of miles away. Pick one.”

"Immortal products are divided into categories such as gods, real people, Taoists, saints, and sages. Each of them has different meanings. There are also others, such as Yuqing, Shangqing, Taiji, Taiqing, Jiugong, and Dongtian. , Taiyin, etc., these are also titles among immortals.”

"But you just need to know that those with immortality are more favored by heaven than those without immortality, and their cultivation will be much smoother."

"It seems quite complicated." Liu Qinghuan sighed: "So, the immortal level refers to the realm of cultivation, and the immortal level is like...like the spiritual root qualification?"

Immortal Yi thought for a while and said: "Although this analogy is very blunt and not consistent with reality... but it can be said that way."

Liu Qinghuan said: "So, being the extraditer has many benefits."

"That's right!" Immortal Yi smiled, pointing to the altar in front of the two of them: "So now you only need to go up to the altar to accept the inheritance."

Liu Qinghuan raised his head and glanced at the high altar, then slowly took a step back and looked at the other party with a half-smile: "Do you think I'm a fool?"
