I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 184 Riding the Emperor's Chariot, Sharing the Peach and Bodhi

The seventh level is a watershed.

This was what the porcelain doll told Zhou Mu on the way back.

"The seventh rank is the last rank of the lower three rank immortal officials. At the same time, the normal requirement for a seventh rank immortal official in the ancient heaven is to be a first-level [celestial immortal]."

"When you reach the seventh rank, if you want to advance to a higher rank, you will need [Heaven and Earth Merit] instead of just Heavenly Merit."

In the Yama Palace, Zhou Mu seemed to be lost in thought. Looking at the curling aroma of tea on the table in front of him, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

This tea, produced next to Yama Palace and imbued with a sinister and gloomy aura, has an extremely special flavor. After taking a sip of the boiling hot tea, I felt cold all over. My restless heart, which had been restless due to the nearly 30,000 points of merit I had gained, also calmed down.

With a sigh of relief and a chill, Zhou Mu asked:

"Merits of heaven and earth? Is there any difference between this and the merits of heaven?"

"Yes, it's very different."

The porcelain doll nodded, looking solemn:

"The merits of heaven and earth are bestowed by the great heaven and earth. As for the merits of heaven? They are bestowed by the Emperor of Heaven. The amount of merits is determined by the Emperor of Heaven at the wave of his hand."

After a pause, Nezha continued:
"To be honest, before the end of the catastrophe, if you were to do this and gain merits by slaying demons, then if you could gain 100 merits by slaying a demon, then the Heavenly Court would actually gain the equivalent of 500 merits."

Zhou Mu's expression froze. Is there such a thing?
He is thirsty for knowledge:
"If I kill the demon, will Heaven gain merit from heaven and earth?"

"I mean before the end of the world."

Nezha said briefly:

"The immortal officials belong to the Heavenly Court. The merits and virtues of the heaven and earth that the immortal officials obtain will be directly obtained by the Heavenly Court - or the Emperor of Heaven."

"The Emperor of Heaven created his own [Heavenly Powers]."

"So, during that period when demons were allowed to eat humans, and then killed to gain merit, the one who gained the most was actually the Emperor of Heaven."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu suddenly understood and also knew the difference between the merits of heaven and earth.
When the immortal official killed the demon, the Emperor of Heaven gained merit from heaven and earth, but what was distributed to the immortal official was merit numbers. And the number of merit numbers was just a matter of a word from the Emperor of Heaven.

just
Zhou Mu's heart moved:
"Fellow Daoist Nezha said that before the end of the catastrophe, beheading demons would bring you merits from heaven and earth. Now, is that all gone?"

"Ah."

Nezha nodded simply:
"Before the end of the catastrophe, humans were still the protagonists of heaven and earth. Monsters that ate humans were guilty of sin. If you killed them, heaven and earth would reward you and grant you [merit of heaven and earth]."

After a pause, he continued:

"After the end of the catastrophe, the human race is no longer the protagonist of heaven and earth. The monsters that eat humans will naturally not be subject to the sins of heaven and earth."

Zhou Mu was thoughtful:
"And the reason why I can still gain merit from Heaven by slaying demons is actually because the rules of Heaven have not changed in time?"

"That's right." Nezha nodded: "The Emperor of Heaven is gone, the Heaven Palace is in ruins, and the Book of Conferred Gods and Commanded Immortals is only distributing merits according to the previous rules."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu frowned slightly:

"Then how can I obtain the merits of heaven and earth? Fellow Daoist Nezha said that if I want to advance to the sixth rank, I need the merits of heaven and earth."

"This..." Porcelain Doll pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I was resurrected too short a time ago, and now I am just a dead body, without any cultivation, without any power, and cannot glimpse the fundamental rules of the world today, so I can't answer for you."

Zhou Mu finally asked:
"Can the merits of heaven and earth and the merits of heaven be exchanged?"

"Yes, but it's only one-sided."

Nezha replied:

"The merits of heaven and earth, one hundred strands make one strand, one hundred strands make one strand, ten thousand strands make one strand - however, one strand of the merits of heaven and earth can be exchanged for one hundred pieces of [great merits], but one hundred pieces of great merits cannot be exchanged for one strand of the merits of heaven and earth."

Zhou Mu now understood completely that one strand of Heaven and Earth Merit could be exchanged for 10,000 Merits, but Merits could not be exchanged for Merits.
black.

So dark!

But what is the use of this merit?
Zhou Mu asked further, but the porcelain doll could not give a clear answer, and only gave a vague description:

"The greater the merit, the greater the 'weight' in the universe. I only know this much, and I only learned it when I listened to my master's teachings."

Zhou Mu understood, pondered for a moment, and then had an idea. He called Bai Ju who was waiting outside the side hall.

"Teacher." Mai Baiju bowed.

Zhou Mu nodded slightly and said calmly:

"Have all those humans been sent away?"

Bo Ju nodded:

"According to your instructions, hundreds of people, including several members of the Buzhou group, have all had their relevant true spirit memories cut out using the [Soul Punishment] method, and have been released."

After a pause, he politely said:

"It was Luo Shuangyu and Chu Yaowu who had not cut their true spirit memories."

Zhou Mu nodded:

"Get ready, it's time for us to set off. We need Luo Shuangyu to lead the way to the hidden city in the mountains."

Bo Ju simply nodded:

"Teacher, your Dharma carriage is ready. The Yama Palace is special and can disappear into the void, but this can only be done when the student himself sits in it."

"Teacher, you are traveling on the Dharma Chariot, and I am in the void, following you in the Yama Palace. But teacher, how should we deal with that person called Chu Sanhu?"

Zhou Mu pondered for a moment and said:

"Did you find out anything about Chu Ji?"

"No, he just insisted that Chu Ji was only his blood relative, and he refused to say anything more."

After a pause, Bo Ju said:

"Teacher, do you want to torture his soul and search for his true spirit?"

Zhou Mu waved his hand:

"He has done nothing wrong, and he has not seen anything he shouldn't have seen. He shouldn't be like this, and..."

Zhou Mu did not continue to speak, as he had a rough idea in his mind - there was a 90% chance that Chu Sanhu was the incarnation of Kunlun [Overlord].

This has been confirmed by Nezha. If the True King wants to break through and become a sacred being, his incarnation must be extremely important.

Chu Sanhu did nothing wrong and should not have his soul searched. Even if he was at fault, Zhou Mu would not search his soul - if he provoked the Overlord, it would be a big trouble.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Mu made a decision:
"Let him and his maid go, but send a soulbinder to follow them quietly in the void."

The Soul-Catcher is at the level of a [Fake Immortal] and is directly under the command of the Yama Palace.

Zhou Mu knew what was going on. If his guess was correct, Chu Sanhu would definitely go find Old Chu to deal with the senior sister.

If you follow Chu Sanhu, you may have a chance to find Old Chu, the eldest senior sister, or even the master!

Bai Ju bowed and quickly went to make arrangements and give instructions. Not long after, he walked into the side hall and bowed, saying:
"Teacher, everything is ready. Chu Sanhu didn't notice the Soul Boundary following him in the void. Should we set off?"

"We'll set off in a moment."

Zhou Mu stood up slowly, and walked out of the side hall and the government office together with the porcelain doll.

In Hutou Village, 300,000 wronged ghosts crowded into the Yama Palace in an orderly manner. With a loud bang, the entire Yama Palace disappeared into the void.

"Senior Zhou Zhou!" Standing in the open space, Luo Shuangyu and Chu Yaowu, the only two people whose memories had not been cut, bowed, each with a solemn expression.

The two knew that the rest of the people were released after their memories were deleted. They could understand that, but they didn't understand why.
Why did they alone stay?

Where did that Yama Palace disappear to?
The two were confused but did not dare to ask. Their hearts were pounding as they quietly looked at the old man in white and the cute porcelain doll that called the old man "Brother Daoist".

The old man just smiled:

"Miss Luo, Mr. Chu, you are both destined to be with me. I hope you can keep your mouth shut about what happened recently."

Chu Yaowu nodded quickly, and Luo Shuangyu was silent for a moment and also nodded.

A trace of worry flashed across her face. This old Zhou was suspected to be the reincarnation of one of the Five Emperors.

And Mr. Zhou's student, the Lord Yan, was harmed by a big shot in Buzhou.
Mr. Zhou said that he would seek justice for the King of Hell.

It looks like trouble is about to happen in the City of Five Kings.

Speaking of which, Zhou Er and Li Er are not the names of the Five Emperors. It seems that this old Zhou had multiple identities in the ancient times. Among Zhou Er and Li Er, which ancient sage or even saint is he?
While Luo Shuangyu was thinking over and over again, Zhou Mu looked at the two old friends who didn't recognize him and spoke gently:
"If I remember correctly, Miss Luo is going to the Hidden City in the Mountains located beside Xiaoshishan Town, right? Since it's on the way, why don't we go together?"

Luo Shuangyu came back to her senses and bowed quickly:

"I am honored to be invited by Senior Zhou. How dare I refuse?"

After a pause, she said cautiously:

"But this place is far from the hidden city in the mountains. Without a guide, I don't know how to get out of this desert."

"No problem." Zhou Mu said gently:
"There is a carriage here, we can go there in it."

"Car?"

Luo Shuangyu and Chu Yaowu looked at each other, then looked around blankly - the entire Hutou Village was already deserted, without the prosperity of the previous day, and looking further away, there was only an endless desert.

Where did the carriage come from?

Before the two of them could ask, the next moment.

'Shh!'

With the sound of a horse neighing, Luo Shuangyu looked out and saw a rolling mist in the air in the distance.
Then came the sound of wheels and horse hooves, accompanied by a cold and gloomy wind, blowing towards us!

As the mist gradually approached, the full picture was revealed.

"This, this, this..." Chu Yaowu was dumbfounded and couldn't help swallowing.

In the rolling mist,
Nine one-horned ghost horses with sinister auras came out, pulling a huge chariot.

In the five directions of the Nine Horse Dharma Chariot, there are five colored auxiliary chariots, namely blue, red, yellow, white and black. Each of the five auxiliary chariots is driven by six one-horned ghost horses.

Behind the nine-horse chariot and the five-colored deputy chariots, there are thirty-six auxiliary chariots, each chariot is driven by a one-horned ghost horse, and there is a golden-armored warrior standing in each chariot!
The thirty-six golden-armored warriors standing on the thirty-six chariots are all [fake immortals].

Thirty-six belong to the car, and thirty-six are fake immortals.

This is almost all of Bai Ju's assets. After all, he is not the real King of Hell.

Luo Shuangyu was dazzled, and even she swallowed her saliva - such a scale.
Is it the emperor's carriage? ?
Zhou Mu and Porcelain Doll boarded the nine-horse carriage. The former waved his hand, and Luo Shuangyu and Chu Muwu each boarded a co-passenger seat.
Thirty-six fake immortals drove thirty-six chariots to lead the way, with one hundred and eight celestial beings and great underworld officials standing on both sides, some carrying large flags, some beating gongs and drums, and some blowing horns!

The primitive, rough and powerful sounds of gongs, drums and trumpets resounded over the desert, accompanied by rolling gloomy winds, evil spirits and gloomy fog!

"Start the imperial carriage!"

The golden-armored warriors shouted in unison,

The nine-horse chariot, the five-colored vice-chariot, the thirty-six-colored chariots, and the ceremonial procession of the one hundred and eight heavenly beings and great underworld messengers all came forward in unison.

Wherever he passed, it was dark and gloomy, and majestic and solemn!
Moreover, behind the imperial carriage, in the misty air, there seemed to be a towering ancient palace following.

It seems real and imaginary.

"In terms of specifications, it is better than the Dharma Chariot of the Lord of Hell. It is the Dharma Chariot of the Emperor of the Underworld." The porcelain doll said softly:
"Of course, it doesn't fit that the driver was a Lux."

Zhou Mu, riding on the imperial carriage, burst out laughing:

"Fake Xianlishi, is it still low?"

A few years ago, he was just a Heavenly Warrior, on par with these Golden Armor Warriors in terms of pure status.
Not to mention that time, even now, my own cultivation is only that of a golden-armored warrior.

They are all fake immortals.

The porcelain doll nodded slightly and said:
"If it is the real Emperor of the Underworld, driving thirty-six chariots, they are all powerful, and the one hundred and eight ceremonial guards are all true immortals."

After a pause, he pointed at the unicorn:

"The ones pulling the carriage should also be real dragons. Brother Dao, this, well, can also be considered a fake emperor's carriage?"

Zhou Mu smiled, then sighed:
"What a luxury."

The porcelain doll smiled meaningfully and said:
"I'm afraid that Brother Dao's Dharma vehicle will be much bigger in the future."

Zhou Mu was silent for a moment, then said happily:

"It would be nice if that day really comes."

The porcelain doll nodded and asked again:

"But now, isn't it too much of a commotion for Bo Ju to prepare such a chariot for Brother Dao?"

Zhou Mu shook his head and lowered his eyes, his gaze deep:

"Bigger is better. Bigger is better."

"I'm going to the Hidden City in the Mountains to pick up an old friend, and then I'm going to visit the Five Kings City."

"This time, I am going to seek justice."

"We can't let people look down on us, right?"

Hearing this, the porcelain doll nodded silently.

The imperial carriage moved slowly forward. Zhou Mujing leaned against it, closed his eyes, and began to feel sleepy. His thoughts were scanning the black gold bronze order, communicating with it.

The treasury of heaven is revealed.

[Rainfall Decree (Part 1), 5,000 merits, with the seal of the Celestial Emperor, can independently decide the rainfall amount within a range of billions of miles once]

[Low-grade Spiritual Treasure Order: 10,000 Merits, can select any low-grade fairyland spiritual treasure]

[Fourth-turn Golden Pill: 10,000 Merits, can be exchanged for one Fourth-turn Golden Pill from Tushita Palace]

[Peach (times): 10,000 merit points can be exchanged for a defective unripe peach]

[Bodhi tree leaf: 10,000 merits can be exchanged for a leaf of the Bodhi tree]

[Weapon Talisman (lower): 20,000 Merits, can be used to mobilize 3,000 Celestial Celestial Soldiers]

There were six more things. Apart from the familiar rain-making decree and the lower-grade spiritual treasure order, Zhou Mu didn't know much about the other four things.
If it were in the past, I would have to struggle with it, but now...
Nezha is right beside you?

He opened his eyes, looked sideways and asked in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoist Nezha, please listen to me."

Zhou Mu described several things one by one.

The porcelain doll frowned slightly:
"How come there is no acquired medicine? Oh. It must be because of the passage of time. The medicine is easy to be destroyed. Without the maintenance of the immortal officials, it is easy to return to the world."

He paused, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Brother Dao, you can consider the military talisman, but not now. Immortal soldiers are not heavenly soldiers, nor are they living creatures. They are more like puppets. Immortal soldiers and puppets are all at the level of [fake immortals]."

Zhou Mu's pupils shrank. Three thousand fake immortal puppets?
Only 20,000 gong points? ?

He quickly asked:
"If I change this military talisman in the future, and the immortal soldier kills the demon, will the merit be counted on me?"

“No.” Nezha shook his head: “Unless Brother Dao is promoted to the sixth rank and can open a government office, and have immortals and gods under his command, then it will be possible.”

Zhou Mu sighed with regret.

A small demon city can provide nearly 10,000 merit points, usually with a heavenly realm in charge, and three thousand fake immortals, can flatten hundreds of demon cities at the same time! !
If the credit could be attributed to me, I dare not even think about it. I dare not even think about it.

But, is the sixth rank enough?
Zhou Mu swallowed his saliva and kept it in mind, while Porcelain Doll continued:

"As for the other three things, although the fourth-level golden elixir can transform a mortal into a celestial being on the spot, it is of little use to you, Brother Dao."

"As for the inferior peaches and leaves of the Bodhi tree, you must exchange them for them, brother!"

Zhou Mu's heart moved:
"Please help me solve this puzzle."

Nezha replied:

"Peaches can increase longevity - but this is only the lowest use. For you, it can improve your bones, add immortality, and even open up your inner realm!"

"And the leaves of the Bodhi tree"

After a pause, the porcelain doll smiled and said:
"Brother Dao, you should have tried the Great Enlightenment Dojo, right?"

Zhou Mu nodded quickly:

"That's natural, but I don't know what the leaves of the Bodhi tree are good for?"

Nezha smiled and said something concise and shocking:

"When you wear it on your body, it is equivalent to being in the Great Enlightenment Field at all times - of course, it is only half as effective as the real Great Enlightenment Field, but, all the time!"

Zhou Mu's eyes suddenly became fierce.

Even if it is only half as effective as the real enlightenment,
He exhaled a breath of pure air, looked at the more than 30,000 merit points he possessed, and made a decision in his heart. He said:

"I need to go there first. Brother Nezha, are you coming with me?"

"Of course." The porcelain doll nodded.

Zhou Mu waved his hand, put the porcelain doll, which was considered a 'dead object', into the black gold bronze order, and then leaned against the imperial carriage and fell asleep quietly.

With the power of the imperial carriage, even if it deliberately slows down, the journey that originally took more than a month can be completed in just a day and a night - after all, the imperial carriage cannot be rushed, and if it travels too hastily, it will lose its dignity.

It can arrive in the morning or evening, so when you wake up, maybe you will arrive just in time?
Zhou Mu fell into a deep sleep.

The sounds of gongs, drums and Buddhist trumpets from the ceremonial guards on both sides were even more vast and majestic.
