Chapter 15 Bats
King Yama sat in the middle, glared at him, shouting, "Ni Duofu, Bai Sheng, are you two guilty?"
Ni, however, saw the black fog around him, the yin energy was heavy, the various weapons were shining with cold light, and the murderous aura was full of murderous aura. I thought that I and Bai Sheng might be killed here today, and their souls were scattered and they were no longer there in the three realms. I turned my heart and shouted, "But I don't know what sins are there with me and Bai Sheng? I hope to hear it carefully."
A mysterious messenger next to King Yama came out and said, "Isn't it a serious crime to kill dozens of ghost lives for you two to stop returning to the six realms of reincarnation and destroy the heavenly path?"
Bai Sheng took two steps forward, bowed his hands and said, "King Yama Mingjian, because the dozen evil ghosts covet the treasures in our hands and wanted to kill us, we both had no choice but to kill a group of evil ghosts due to the situation. It was for self-protection, and we hoped that King Yama Mingjian would clearly observe."
King Yama twisted his long beard with his hand, nodded slightly, and said, "Ni Duoshi, Bai Sheng, I am not hiding it. I report to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and I have obtained the Dharma of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to promote you two to the two envoys of Yin and Yang in the Underworld. Ni Duoshi was named Sun envoy, Bai Sheng was named Xuan Yin envoy. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: Now the demons in the world are rampant, the magic power in the underworld is limited, and the affairs are busy, so I cannot go to the world to kill evil demons. I will promote you two, just because the Nether Flame Sword in your hands is too domineering, killing ghosts and demons, and they all turn into nothingness, leaving no room for you. You can only eliminate demons and subdue demons, and not harm the lives of life."
Ni Duoshu and Bai Sheng heard it and were both very happy. They thought their lives were hard to save, but they never expected that they could still enjoy the official position. They both stepped forward, swept the floor, and thanked each other: "Thank you for your kindness in the promotion of King Yama. We both will do our best to fulfill our duties and responsibilities and live up to the entrusted by King Yama and Bodhisattva."
King Qin Guang turned away from the side and said to King Yan Luo: "How can the official position in the underworld be sealed? What kind of virtues are these two people? Can they be the two envoys of Yin and Yang in the Underworld?"
The ghost soldiers below had long been dissatisfied with each other, and they all thought: We have worked diligently in the underworld for thousands and eight hundred years, without any contribution, and hard work. How could these two people enjoy a high position after walking in the underworld? But the ghost soldiers shouted and shouted, and all of them expressed dissatisfaction.
Seeing this scene, King Yama pondered and said, "This is the decree of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and I cannot be the one who can do it."
The Wheel King stepped forward and said, "Dear Yin Lords, these two people were injured in the underworld and violated the iron law of the underworld. If they were not punished severely, they would be rewarded, and they would be difficult to convince the public."
King Yama said: "What the Wheel King said is reasonable, but the Dharma of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been issued and cannot be violated. According to the views of the Wheel King, what should we do?"
The Wheel King smiled and said, "I have a good idea, which can not only convince the public, but also obey the Bodhisattva's decree. Only teach us that all the ten palaces of Yama can agree, and then we can implement it."
King Chujiang was as anxious as fire and said loudly: "Wheel King, what can I say it quickly? Mother-in-law and mother-in-law, how can we decide the other nine Yan Jun?"
The Wheel King laughed and said, "We just need to take out the illusory mirror given by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and jump into it. If we can eliminate the blood demon bats inside, I will forgive the Yin soldiers and ghosts in our underworld. If we are promoted to the Yin-Yang envoys, we will not say anything."
When the other nine Yan Jun and the ghost soldiers heard this, Yaque immediately became silent. Each of them stared at her big eyes, and their faces showed a look of horror. The field was quiet and the needle could be heard. After a cup of tea, she discussed quietly.
King Yama frowned and said, "Wheel-Running King, this blood demon bat sucks human blood in the human world, and has injured countless lives. Anyone who has been sucked by the blood demon bats will become mummies and be controlled by the blood demon bat. If Ni Duoshu and Bai Sheng are thrown into the Tai Illusion Mirror, I'm afraid......" King Yama said this and pondered.
King Chujiang also said: "What King Yama said is that this blood demon bat has profound magic power and has been practicing for thousands of years. Fire cannot be burned, water cannot be drowned, and knife cannot be hurt. If it weren't for our ten palaces of the underworld, and the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha gave the Taixu Reimagination Mirror, it took a lot of effort to put the blood demon bat in the Taixu Reimagination Mirror. What skills do you have when you are young? Wouldn't it be a waste of your life to send it to it?"
King Yama looked solemn, shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate, I'm afraid that the seal of Taixu Illusion Realm will be unlocked, and the blood demon bat will come back. At that time, it will be even more difficult to lock it into Taixu Illusion Mirror."
The Yin Jun was dissatisfied. Some agreed with what King Yama said, some agreed with what King of Wheels said, and some said: "The Blood Demon Bat is sealed in the Tai Illusion Mirror. So many of us are staring at it. No matter how powerful the Blood Demon Bat is, how can it escape the eyes of so many people?" Someone said: "This is Ni Duoshi and Bai Sheng are young. Isn't it that the Blood Demon Bat sucked into jerky meat when sent in?"
For a moment, the Yinjun was talking and there was noisy.
Seeing that everyone had been discussing for a long time, the Wheel King couldn't make up his mind. He coughed softly and said loudly: "The Yin Jun doesn't know that the Mingyan Sword in Ni Duoshu's hand is extraordinary. It contains the power of true yang and can kill all kinds of demons in the world. Although this blood demon bat is powerful, it cannot withstand the Mingyan Sword's attack..."
Before the King of Chujiang finished speaking, he said in a flash: "No matter how powerful the Ming Yan Sword is, two stinky brats who are not dry, they may not be able to cut the Blood Demon Bat with one knife."
After hearing what King Chujiang said, four or five Yinjun nodded and said yes, they all said that a single Nether Flame Sword would not destroy the Blood Demon Bat.
Seeing that his words were interrupted, the King of Wheels showed displeasure and said in a deep voice: "Although we sealed the Blood Demon Bat in the Tai Illusion Mirror, the Blood Demon Bat is practicing quietly inside, and its magic power is getting deeper. If we don't find a way to destroy it, the Blood Demon Bat will practice perfectly in the future and rush out of the Tai Illusion Mirror. At that time, there will be endless troubles. Don't say that it is the world, I'm afraid even our underworld will be difficult to maintain peace."
After hearing what the Wheel King said, all the Yinjuns looked heavy and indifferent. Many of them agreed with King Yama, but at this time they all felt that what the Wheel King said made sense.
The last ten Yan Jun raised their hands to vote, and most of them stood on the side of the Wheel King.
King Yama thought for a moment and thought: What the Wheel King said is not unreasonable. It would be better to let Ni Duoshi go to Tai Illusion Mirror to try it. With the Nether Flame Sword in Ni Duoshi's hand, they killed the Blood Demon Bat. They were all happy and relieved their worries. If these two people were killed by the Blood Demon Bat, it would be considered a redeem for their serious crime of killing more than a dozen ghost lives. Our Ten Palace Yan Jun is staring here, and I wish that the Blood Demon Bat could not escape the Tai Illusion Realm.
When King Yama thought of this, he immediately said to Ni Duoshu and Bai Sheng: "Ni Duoshu, Bai Sheng, do you understand what our Ten Palaces Yan Jun said?"
Ni Duoshi nodded and thought to himself: Damn, I know that this Yin-Yang messenger is not so easy to be an official. These ten old men are really crazy and cunning. They are good at killing people with a knife.
Ni Duoshi knew that the blood demon bat was very difficult to deal with. He looked at Bai Sheng and said, "Brother Bai, what do you think we should do?"
Bai Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ni, do you think we still have a choice? Now, even if we don't want to fight to the death, no one will give us this opportunity."
Ni Duoshi thought about it, and held the hilt of the Mingyan Sword with his right hand and said loudly: "Mr. Yan Jun, hurry up and take out your broken mirror. Brother Bai has spoken. We brothers will help you get rid of this monster today."
After Ni Duoshin finished speaking, he pulled out the Mingyan Sword and waved it a few times. A hot breath spread out from the red light flashing. Ni Duoshin smiled and said, "Isn't it just a big bat? Look at us making a braised big bat for you to see."
The Ten Palaces of Hell and the ghost soldiers all thought: "These two people arrived at the illusory mirror, and most of them had no return. The hope of being able to come out alive is really slim. These two people were actually ready to die. At such a young age, they had such a courage. It was really rare." Thinking of this, they admired and sympathized with them.
King Yama gave an order and called Heibai Wuchang to his front. The ten palaces of Yan took out a key from his arms and handed it to Heibai Wuchang's hands. King Yama explained a few words in Heibai Wuchang's ears. Heibai Wuchang nodded repeatedly and turned around and left quickly.
After a stick of incense, Black and White Impermanence returned, handed a silver mirror the size of a palm to the hands of King Yama, and returned the ten keys to the King of the Ten Palaces of Hell one by one.
King Yama was muttering to the small silver mirror. A colorful light suddenly appeared in the mirror, striking eyes. The ghosts present were blinded and rubbed their eyes and looked at them. But when they saw that the silver bronze mirror was thrown in the air by King Yama, a round hole appeared. After a moment, the seven-color light disappeared and gradually emerged a mountain, with green mountains and green waters, deep waters, waterfalls and deep pools.
King Yan shouted loudly and said, "Ni Duoshi, Bai Sheng, why don't you jump in, when will you wait?"
Seeing this, Ni Duoshu and Bai Sheng closed their eyes and jumped hard. At this time, the two of them had a good cultivation level, and the entrance of the cave was as high as possible, so it was easy to jump in.
The two of them were on the ground with their feet open their eyes and saw themselves stepping on a grassland. A high mountain in front of them stood in the clouds. A waterfall leaked straight down from the clouds in the mountains and fell into the mountain stream, making a loud noise, deafening sound.
There were green pines and cypresses on the mountain, and a mountain road winding up, with flowers next to it, and the fragrance was swaying. Ni Duoshu took a deep breath and praised: "It smells so fragrant, the scenery of this place is as beautiful as a painting."
Bai Sheng was surprised and asked, "Brother Ni, I heard from the Ten Palaces of Hell that the Blood Demon Bat was imprisoned in the Taixu Reimaginary Mirror. Why did he enter here with such a beautiful scenery? It is more than enough to give the gods and immortals to practice. How could it be like a place to imprison demons?"
Ni Duoshi looked around. Except for the mountain in front of him, the other three sides were green grasslands. Looking from afar, it was elusive.
Ni Duoshin smiled and said, "Brother Bai said, if we can't find the Blood Demon Bat, we might as well live on this mountain. Anyway, the scenery here is beautiful, and I'll sleep leisurely every day, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
Bai Sheng pointed the ghost-headed knife in his hand at Shandao and said, "Brother Ni, don't joke. How many pairs of eyes are staring at us outside? I can't sleep with so many pairs of ghost-eyed eyes. Let's go up the mountain road, maybe the blood demon bat is on the top of the mountain."
Ni Duoshin sighed: "What Brother Bai said is right. There is only one mountain road around here, so let's try to walk up the mountain."
The two walked up the mountain path. The mountain path was quite smooth at first. The more you walked up, the more steep it became. The two walked for a long time, and it was getting more and more laborious. After a while, they walked halfway through the mountain. The fog was filled with clouds and mist. Looking up, the mountain path was blurry. Except for a section of the mountain path below, the mountain path above was blocked by black clouds and could no longer be seen. Ni Duoshi pulled out the Mingyan sword and groped forward with Bai Sheng. After walking for a long time, the road gradually became flat and wide, as if to the top of the mountain. The black clouds became more and more intense. He could not see his fingers. Ni Duoshi was nervous and heard the sound and said, "Brother Bai, it seems that we have reached the top of the mountain. The sound of the waterfalls at the bottom of the mountain cannot be heard here."
Bai Sheng whispered: "Brother Ni, the black clouds on the top of the mountain are everywhere, and there is no sight. Do you think the blood demon bat will hide in this black cloud?"
Ni Duoshi shivered, even though he was brave, he saw a dark ball around. If the blood demon bat suddenly attacked, it would be a lot of danger.
Ni Duoshi held the hilt of the knife in his hand, bent down and listened carefully. The surroundings were quiet. There seemed to be a river flowing by his right hand, and a slight sound of flowing water came from him. Just as Ni Duoshi was about to step towards the direction of the river, suddenly a flash of lightning in the black clouds ahead, illuminating a bright ball of lightning around him. The thunder roared, and the shock of Ni Duoshi and Baisheng's ears buzzed.
In a moment, lightning lights danced like fire snakes, and the rumbling sound continued. The strong wind suddenly rose, and the raindrops mixed with hail flew around with the strong wind. Ni Duoshi was already shocked and panicked. His eyes were slightly opened and he swept away from the corner of his eyes. But when Bai Sheng stood beside him, the tip of the ghost head knife in his hand trembled, he was shocked.
The thunderstorm was roaring, and it was about to slash Bai Sheng and Ni Duoshi into dust. At this time, Ni Duoshi had no time to think about it, and suddenly pushed Bai Sheng out suddenly, then jumped, and two "thump, plop" sounds, the two fell into the river one by one and the other.
Ni Duoshi just flashed with lightning, and saw the river flowing slowly like a mirror. I thought the river was very shallow, but I never wanted to jump into the river and sink straight down. The undercurrents in the river surged, and a huge force pushed Ni Duoshi and Bai Sheng out. The two of them couldn't help but rushed out with the undercurrent, then fell down. Ni Duoshi insisted on calming himself, opened his eyes slightly, and felt a brightness in front of his eyes. He calmed down and saw that he was in mid-air and fell down with the waterfall.
Ni Duoshu thought: If there were bare rocks below, wouldn’t Bai Sheng and I fall into meat pie?
Just as he was anxious, he suddenly saw a black shadow coming out from the waterfall and pounced on Ni Duoshi. Ni Duoshi felt a pain in his left arm, as if he had been bitten by something. He took the time to turn sideways in the air, and his right hand was slashed out with a red light, splitting a black thing in half. Just as he was about to look at it, his body became cold, and his breathing paused. It turned out that he had fallen into the mountain stream. Ni Duoshi's body first sank down, then floated up, opened his eyes, looked around, and knew that he had fallen into the deep pool.
Tan Zhong was cold and the light was dim. Ni Duoshi looked at him. He saw Bai Sheng's hands and feet moving. He thought that Bai Sheng could not swim. He inserted the Mingyan knife back into the scabbard, separated the waterway, swam to Bai Sheng, reached out and grabbed Bai Sheng's waist, and swam upwards.
After a while, the two of them surfaced. Ni Duoshu saw a big rock not far from the deep pool. He grabbed Bai Sheng and swam onto the big rock.
The two of them were cold and wet, and Bai Sheng's voice trembled, saying, "Brother Ni, I was so dangerous and tight just now, I saved your life again."
Ni Duoshin smiled and said, "Brother Bai, why are you talking about polite words at this time?" After looking at the surroundings, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother Bai, it seems that we have been busy in vain. We finally climbed to the top of the mountain, but we didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, we fell to the foot of the mountain."
Bai Sheng calmed down and said, "Brother Ni, we were on the top of the mountain just now, with lightning and lightning all the time. I think the blood demon bat should not be on the top of the mountain, otherwise wouldn't it be struck to ashes by thunder?"
Ni Duoshi nodded and said, "Brother Bai, you are still thoughtful. When I fell from the mountain just now, I saw a black shadow flashing through the waterfall, biting my left arm, and I cut it into two pieces with one knife." As he said that, he rolled up his left arm sleeve. Who knew that after a glance, the muscles of the left arm were smooth and rosy, so where were there any scars?
It turns out that Ni Duoshu practiced the Nine-Turn Yin Meridian, and his body turned around and had a strong ability to heal himself. Some minor wounds had healed long ago.
Bai Sheng looked at it and said with a smile: "Brother Ni, are you scaring me, right? Could it be that the Blood Demon Bat flew out of the waterfall and was split into two by you?"
When Ni Duoshu heard Bai Sheng say this, he thought to himself and said, "Brother Bai, don't believe it. I guess the blood demon bat must be hidden behind this waterfall. Why don't we go over and take a look together?"
Ni Duoshi stood up and saw several big rocks on the edge of Tanzhong that lead directly to the front of the waterfall. His body went up and down several times, and came to a big rock closest to the waterfall. Bai Sheng followed him and heard the sound of water falling in his ears. He looked up and saw a white waterfall that was like a white waterfall, splashing everywhere, and the mist was hazy. Where can I see what the scene behind the waterfall was?
Bai Sheng was about to speak loudly, but suddenly he felt his right wrist tightening. The ghost-headed knife in his right hand was snatched into his hand by Ni Duoshu and threw it out with force. A white light flashed by, and the ghost-headed knife passed through the waterfall and disappeared behind the waterfall.
Ni Duoshu then jumped up, like a big roc spreading its wings, followed the ghost-headed sword, and rushed into the waterfall.
Bai Sheng was stunned, and after a moment of contemplation, he was secretly amused: When did Brother Ni become so smart? He could even think of a way to throw a stone to ask for directions. It seems that Brother Ni was guessing well. This blood demon bat was probably behind the waterfall. Thinking of this, Bai Sheng bit his teeth, closed his eyes, and then jumped in.
Bai Sheng's body was rushed by the waterfall, and his whereabouts suddenly accelerated. He was shocked and opened his eyes in a hurry. But when he saw himself in the air, there was a huge deep cave in front of him. Bai Sheng fell lightly at the entrance of the cave. Seeing Ni Duoshu holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand, he walked over with a smile, handed the ghost-headed knife in his hand back to Bai Sheng, and said with a smile: "How is it? Brother Bai, I think it's good. There is indeed something strange about this waterfall after it."
Bai Sheng raised his thumb with his left hand and smiled and said, "Brother Ni is indeed not bad as expected. I admire him, I admire him."
Ni Duoshi was proud of his heart, and his fear of the Blood Demon Bat seemed to weaken a little. He pulled out the Nether Flame Sword and took the lead.
There was still some light near the waterfall in the cave. The deeper the light became, the darker the light. A burst of gusts of dark wind blew out from the cave. The two of them slowed down and quietly covered it. They walked about a hundred meters. The cave was pitch black. Bai Sheng whispered: "Brother Ni, it's dark here. Don't be in a sudden danger like we encountered on the top of the mountain."
Ni Duoshi was stunned, turned around and asked, "Brother Bai, can't you see the scene in the cave? I can see clearly."
Bai Sheng said: "Brother Ni, you have practiced the Nine-Turn Yin Meridian to the sixth level. It is nothing strange that you can see the darkness clearly. Why don't I grab the collar behind you and follow you? What do you think?"
Ni Duoshu shook the Mingyan Sword in his hand and said, "Brother Bai, my Mingyan Sword can also emit a light red light. Would you just follow my Mingyan Sword? Fortunately, it's just a ball of darkness here, and there are no black clouds that block the sight. Otherwise, we both would have to become blind."
The two of them were walking and talking quietly, and suddenly a "tick" sound came from the cave, as if water drops fell to the ground. Then the "tick" sounded continuously, and in an instant, it was like a heavy rain, and it sounded like a piece of rain.
Ni Duoshi secretly wondered: Will it rain in the cave? This is really a ghost.
Looking up, I saw bats hanging upside down on the top of the cave, with fangs standing upside down in their mouths, and drops of phlegm fell out of the mouths of these bats.
Ni Duoshi couldn't help feeling disgusted. He hurriedly pulled Bai Sheng and was about to retreat. There was a sound of suffocation behind him, and a fishy wind came to him. Ni Duoshi looked back and complained secretly. He saw a large area of bats sweeping over from behind him, squeaking in his mouth, sharp claws and fangs turned outward, and rushed towards Ni Duoshi and Bai Sheng.
Ni Duoshu pulled Bai Sheng behind him, danced the Ming Yan sword into a red light, and a scorching breath spread out from the blade, cutting the bat that rushed to the front into pieces and turned into nothingness.
Groups of bats swarmed in like moths flying into the fire. Bai Sheng danced with a ghost-headed sword, flying up and down, and the bats cut straight and blood flew everywhere. The remaining momentum of the bats was still unabashed, as if they were endless. After a while, Bai Sheng felt his wrists were sore and numb, and he was about to be unable to support them. Suddenly, a rapid and sharp whistle sounded. The bats heard the whistle and flew back to the top of the cave, stopping attacking.
Messenger Ni Duo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother Bai, aren't you injured?"
Bai Sheng shook his head and said, "Brother Ni, thanks to the sudden whistle sound just now, but I wonder who made the sound?"
Ni Duoshu's face was serious and said, "This sound comes from the depths of the cave. It seems that we are not too far away from the Blood Demon Bat. Brother Bai, you follow me, let's go and have a look."
Bai Sheng suddenly said, "Brother Ni, since we entered this illusion mirror, have you ever thought something was wrong?"
Ni Duoshu smiled and said, "There are many places that are wrong, such as dark clouds and thunder on the top of the mountain, and bats in the cave behind the waterfall. What are the places that are right?"
Bai Sheng pondered for a while and said, "Brother Ni, why are there no sign of living creatures outside with high mountains and dense forests, lush grass and trees, and deep rivers? At this time, when we arrived in this cave, there were so many bats. Don't you feel strange?"
When Bai Sheng mentioned it, he suddenly realized it and said, "Brother Bai, you are as careful as your hair, and you have a very meticulous observation. When you mentioned it, it is a bit strange. According to what Brother Bai said, why is this?"
Bai Sheng shook his head and said, "For a moment, I can't figure it out. Let's take one step at a time."
The two walked forward again. After this disaster, Ni Duoshu and Bai Sheng became more and more careful. They looked at each other carefully. After three turns, they suddenly felt a bright light in front of them. There was a large space in front of them, with gorgeous interiors and tables and chairs. Looking up, the sky above their heads was bright, and a river flowed from above them, as if a transparent mirror dragged the river, and the light was overflowing, which looked very beautiful.
Ni Duoshu and Bai Sheng were both secretly surprised, and looked straight ahead, and a red curtain blocked the back, so they couldn't see what the curtain was behind.
Ni Duoshu and Bai Sheng felt a faint fragrance. If he hadn't heard the Ten Kings of Hell telling him that there were blood demon bats here, he would have entered the woman's boudoir.
Ni Duoshu never expected that the depths of the cave would be like this, and whispered: "Brother Bai, please pinch my arm."
