Road to science and technology

This place is the place of reincarnation in the six realms of the underworld.

Although it is in the underworld, it does not feel eerie. Instead, you can see soaring clouds and colorful clouds everywhere, but the light is very dark, and it feels like the sunset before dark.

Here, under the arrangement of ghosts, souls are divided into six paths in an orderly manner and reborn in reincarnation. There are ordinary ghosts, poor ghosts in ragged clothes, and rich ghosts wearing gold and silver. There were also some monks and nuns, birds and beasts, and even ghosts and monsters, but they all walked obediently towards the entrance and exit of reincarnation.

The people in front were watching all this quietly, and the various ghosts turned a blind eye to him, as if they hadn't seen him.

However, Li Shimin noticed it because he had really seen this figure before. So he rushed over in three steps and two steps, shouting: "But the immortal is in front of you?"

"Your Majesty, stay here, Your Majesty, stay here!" Judge Cui didn't expect it and quickly followed him. As a judge from the underworld, his hands and feet were much more agile than Li Shimin's, but when he spoke to Li Shimin, he also arrived next to the person in front. .

"Your Majesty, this is the underworld, and all of them are souls. How can they be immortals? Your Majesty, please don't do it." Judge Cui said and looked at the strangely dressed man in front of him, but he was stunned when he saw it, because this man was not a soul at all. .

"Who is your Excellency?" Judge Cui was startled and immediately moved in front of Li Shimin to protect him and asked.

Li Shimin was a little touched by Judge Cui's actions. He quickly grabbed Judge Cui and explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Cui. This is a great man above Mount Tai. He once opened a dojo in Mount Tai and spread science to the human race. The merits are immeasurable. I was fortunate enough to meet him when I was climbing Mount Tai, and received some teachings on how to rejuvenate a country through science and technology."

After explaining, Li Shimin saluted the people in front of him and said: "Immortal, the people of the world are polite. Do you dare to ask, is it because of me that the Immortal is here?"

"That's right. What I practice is not immortality, but scientific enlightenment. Forget it. You can do whatever you want." The person who came was none other than Yue Yuanzhou. He didn't bother to correct Li Shimin's title. If he continued to correct him, Li Shimin would have to call him Mr. Yue again. .

"How is it possible for you to enter the underworld with your real body? Who are you?" Judge Cui is still confused. He still can't believe it.

Yue Yuanzhou first looked at Judge Cui next to Li Shimin and said: "I am neither an immortal, nor a Buddha, nor a Taoist, nor a demon, nor a demon, nor a ghost. I am beyond the three realms and not among the five elements. The heaven and the earth will be destroyed but I will not be destroyed. I am a person who can do whatever I want. Ordinary people.”

"This ordinary person?" Judge Cui has never seen anything before, and it is the first time he has come to the underworld and still talks like this. The first time he said it, he seemed to be very powerful, but then he said he was an ordinary person. It was really strange.

Li Shimin on the side heard this and secretly said that the Immortal was indeed very human and had reached the realm of immortality. No wonder he could enter the underworld alone.

Yue Yuanzhou ignored what Li Shimin thought and said to Judge Cui: "Okay, let's put your curiosity aside for now. If you want to know, go back and ask your boss, Emperor Fengdu. If he is willing to tell you, you will know. As for Li Shimin, with me here, are you still afraid that he will repay Yang Cheng?"

As Yue Yuanzhou spoke, he looked at Li Shimin and said, "You have been in the Netherworld for two days, so you must know where this place is!"

Judge Cui was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

At the same time, Li Shimin had regained his composure and replied: "It is true. Before, I was killed by the evil dragon and my soul returned to the underworld. I first passed through the gate of hell and passed by the underworld neighborhood. It was so gloomy. Then my brother came to claim my life, and my father's Even though I complained, many people who died in my hands turned into fools and screamed at the sky and the earth. I was deeply touched.

Later, he met Lord Yama of the Tenth Palace and clarified the fact. The book of life and death showed that Yang Shou still survived for twenty years. So Mr. Cui took me to visit Chaosheng, which was a tour of the underworld. After experiencing the eighteen levels of hell in Yinshan, it can be said that the wind is blowing and the black mist is lingering. I heard that the eighteen levels of hell are where people are sentenced to punishment based on the severity of their karma after they have committed sins in life. Only after their karma is cleared can they be reincarnated. I just don’t know where this place is? "

Judge Cui was very concerned about Li Shimin's question. He also thought that it would be good for Li Shimin to know some of the situation in the underworld and then tell the people in the underworld. So he intervened and explained: "This place, your majesty, please be clear about your intentions. Remember After it is released, it will be made known to the people of the world."

Judge Cui pointed to the direction of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and continued: "This is called the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Those who do good deeds ascend to the heavenly realm and can be transformed into heavenly soldiers. Those who are loyal and filial can enter the human realm and enjoy wealth and happiness in the next life. Destiny adds to the body. Those who are vicious can only sink into the realm of animals, hungry ghosts, and hell."

Li Shimin sighed after hearing this: "It's so good! Doing good deeds will lead to no disaster! Don't say you won't get retribution if you do evil, but you don't know that ghosts and gods have their own arrangements, and karma will bring you unhappiness!"

Yue Yuanzhou laughed and said to Li Shimin, who was filled with emotion: "You have heard about the eighteen levels of hell, and you have seen the six realms of reincarnation. So which one do you think you should go to after death? Or should you go to the other one? Ice Prison, or some kind of Avici Prison, Intestinal Extraction Prison, Oil Pot Prison, etc. After a lot of experience, you can reincarnate in the six realms?"

Li Shimin obviously did not expect Yue Yuanzhou to ask such a question. He was stunned on the spot and hesitated to speak. He had fought countless battles in his life and killed many people. He even launched the Xuanwu Sect Incident and killed his own brother. It can be said that countless people died in his hands. He really didn't know how to answer.

In particular, the act of killing one's brother and forcing one's father to abdicate is really unfaithful and unfilial, and it is unfaithful and unfaithful. According to Judge Cui's previous explanation of the Eighteen Hells, this unfaithful and unfilial act is unjust and unfaithful, so he has to go to Tongue Pulling Prison and Skin Skinning Prison. of.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin, who was in a state of soul, couldn't help but tremble.

"What are you thinking about?" Yue Yuanzhou first woke up Li Shimin with a clear drink, and then said sternly: "The majestic Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, is this what he looks like? Show some of the momentum you had when you changed the name of Guanyin. Don't let me look down on you. I Once I look down on you, Daozu will not be able to save you even if he comes."

As he spoke, Yue Yuanzhou muttered: "This Guanyin is also stingy. Didn't he just have a name conflict with Li Shimin and be told to change his name? Is it necessary to be so vengeful and retaliatory? A human emperor who has conquered all over the world has been frightened like this. , is it moral decay or..."

Li Shimin didn't hear him muttering, but Judge Cui did, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just said in his heart: Who are these people? Even Guanyin dares to complain, but His Majesty really insists on changing the name of Guanyin. As a result, all ghosts in Fengdu now call Guanyin Bodhisattva changed their name to Guanyin.

Not only that, he also heard from Emperor Fengdu that the Heavenly Court had also changed its name recently, and the Jade Emperor often joked about this with Emperor Fengdu in private. Now this matter has almost become an open secret in the three worlds. It's just that big people dare to say it, but he, a little person, doesn't dare to say it.

Thinking of this, Judge Cui couldn't help but secretly admire Li Shimin, how reckless he was.

At this time, Li Shimin came back to his senses, looked at Yue Yuanzhou awkwardly and said, "Immortal chief, I created the great rule of Zhenguan. I should make the country rich and the army strong to offset this karma."

Seeing what Li Shimin said, Yue Yuanzhou snorted, and then said one word in the tone of Old Qianlong: "Stupid!"

After Yue Yuanzhou finished speaking, he saw that Li Shimin still seemed unclear, so he sighed and said, "Since you think so, just pretend you have never seen me! Judge Cui, please give your Majesty a chance to return to the world."
