I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 556 The Son of Heaven goes up to the ninth heaven and down to the blue sky!
Yinping City.

The broken walls and ruins that had been bombarded continuously by the Shenji Camp for half a month and the ubiquitous deathly aura made this once great city of Youzhou even more eerie and strange.

Han Shao stood at the city gate, looking up at the Huang Tiandao soldiers and the people in the city who were standing in a daze inside and outside the city gate. Han Shao couldn't help but sigh.

Below the upper three realms, the soul is weak and cannot condense the true spirit.

Even if Han Shao had left a glimmer of hope when he attacked earlier and only destroyed their bodies, they would not be able to retain their "self" under the invasion of death energy.

After standing there and waiting for a moment, a burst of loud horse hoof sounds soon came from the deathly fog behind him.

A moment later, a group of black-armored cavalrymen with broken bodies broke through the barrier of the deathly fog and gathered in front of Han Shao.

Amid the clanging sounds of armor, the black-armored cavalry with broken bodies fell off their horses.

"This general and others are here to welcome you, Your Majesty!"

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

Listening to the thoughts from the soldiers, Han Shao sighed.

"Do you have any resentment in your heart?"

"To die on the battlefield for the sake of your majesty, this is our long-cherished wish! Why should we be resentful?"

Han Shao often heard these guys say they were willing to die for him, but he didn't really feel that deeply.

But when this day really came and he saw them in front of him in this state, Han Shao felt pain in his heart.

Even though he couldn't even pronounce these guys' names...

Han Shao slowly walked forward and helped one of them up, then he let out a breath.

"Everyone, get up."

A simple sentence is as powerful as a decree.

As the words fell, shadows broke free from the broken body.

They are different from the Huang Tian Dao soldiers and the Yinping people. Han Shao asked them to leave their names in the Heavenly Book. With the protection of the Heavenly Book, their souls will not perish, and their "self" will naturally be preserved as well.

Han Shao raised his eyes and glanced at the heroic spirits of these soldiers. With a flick of his sleeve, he instantly restored them to their most majestic appearance in life.

Then he said in a deep voice.

"I remember all your contributions, and I will not treat you unfairly."

"Leave your name on the memorial tablet to comfort your spirit. I guarantee that your incense will continue to burn in the future. Your descendants and relatives will also be able to take care of you. Don't worry!"

Han Shao had already done these things, and the spirits of these soldiers had witnessed them with their own eyes when they were alive, so there was no such thing as deception.

After freeing the broken body and finding that they could speak, the spirits of the soldiers were overjoyed and immediately bowed to express their gratitude.

"Your Majesty, you are so kind! We are ashamed!"

Han Shao shook his head.

"You all deserve it, why should you thank me?"

All of this was earned at the cost of their lives and their flesh and blood. If anyone should be thanked or feel guilty, it should be him, the king.

One will be a million bones.

It was they who used their own bones to pave the way for his success.

The thought suddenly changed, and Han Shao, who was always eloquent, suddenly didn't know what to say, so he just spoke directly.

"Wait here for a moment. I will show you a way out later."

way out?

All the soldiers and heroes present were slightly stunned.

They have experience with some things when they are alive, but they have never thought about what happens after death.

"Could it be that... he can 'treat death as life' and have another destiny?"

Thinking of the current state of themselves and others, many soldiers and heroes were moved.

Just as he was stunned, he saw Han Shao holding the hand of a graceful and dignified woman who was not like an ordinary person, and turned to walk towards Yinping City.

Those who are smart and quick-witted expressed their ideas immediately.

"Your Majesty, are you going to enter the city to solve the Netherworld breach?"

Han Shao stopped and looked back.

The guy hurried forward, clasped his fists and asked for instructions.

"Please allow me to lead the way for you, Your Majesty!"

Han Shao couldn't help but smile when he saw that this guy had adapted to the transition between life and death so quickly, without even a hint of sadness or dejection on his face.

He looked him up and down and nodded.

"allow."

"Order!"

After getting Han Shao's agreement, the guy chuckled and quickly called his group of people to come forward with their horses.

Then he led two war horses over and clapped his hands. In an instant, the aura of the underworld surged, turning the war horses, which were originally just phantoms, into reality.

"General Yu Lei, I respectfully invite your Majesty and Madam to mount your horses."

The word "Madam" made Gong Yan's face turn red.

While Han Shao was feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry, he glanced at him in surprise.

It's not just because he was able to comprehend the use of the Netherworld Aura so quickly, but also because of his name.

Yu Lei? Coincidence?

With a thought flashing through his mind, Han Shao said with a smile.

"Yes, you are very lucky."

……

Compared with the city walls, most of the buildings in the city are relatively well preserved.

But the prosperity and bustle of the past will never be seen again.

Passing by the collapsed tall gate of an aristocratic family in the city, Han Shao just glanced at it casually and didn't look at it any further.

Go straight to the high altar.

After a moment, Han Shao looked up at the broken passage between the two worlds, and then explained.

"You are here..."

Before he could finish his words, Yu Lei took the lead and clasped his fists.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will take someone in to investigate first."

After saying this, without waiting for Han Shao's response, he led his men directly into the gap between the two worlds.

Han Shao frowned.

"Reckless!"

Gong Yan said with emotion.

"This kind of intelligence and loyalty is really valuable."

If Taikang was surrounded by such loyal and brave warriors, Dayong would never have fallen to its current state.

Of course, maybe there is.

But if it cannot be used, it can explain many problems.

So what if you are as noble as the most powerful person on earth?

If you are not as good as others, you are not as good as others. The facts are there and there is no room for dispute.

Han Shao said when he saw Gong Yan looking at him with her beautiful eyes flashing as if she had some enlightenment.

"Madam, why are you looking at me like that?"

The word "Madam" was used with a hint of teasing.

Gong Yan did not refute.

Han Shao was somewhat surprised to see this, but he did not say anything else. He just urged the ghost warhorse under him and said.

"Come on, let's go in too."

"Here."

……

Since the ancient times when the connection between heaven and earth was cut off, not a single living being has stepped into the Nine Netherworld.

But they are certainly few and far between.

In fact, if he wanted to be safe, Han Shao should have condensed a Dharma body and entered it.

But in the end he still chose to enter in person.

There is no other reason.

It was only because ever since Cheng Yuanyi opened the passage between the two worlds, his soul began to stir.

The intensity of this feeling was almost the same as when he first broke through to become an immortal and faced the nine stars in the sky.

What is the emperor?

The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven.

What is heaven?
The highest way!
Therefore, the Son of Heaven is the only one favored by the great way, and all other ways are subject to him.

According to ancient books: It is said that the god of the emperor, who holds up the nine heavens, is the Emperor of Heaven!

In charge of the rules of heaven, control the four seasons, and drive all gods!
Also known as - Great Celestial Lord.

The one who descends to the underworld is the Lord of Hell.

Reincarnation in the six realms, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, dominating the life and death, and well-being of all living things in heaven and earth.

Therefore, he was called the Yin Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven walked among the people, he ruled the mountains and rivers and shepherded the people with the dignity of the emperor.

……

At this moment, Han Shao stepped into the Netherworld.

The void around this place of Nine Netherworld began to tremble violently, and endless Netherworld death energy boiled madly, gathering towards a surge.

In comparison, the bit of Netherworld death energy that Cheng Yuanyi had spent so much effort and even sacrificed a hundred years of cultivation to borrow was like a stream in the ocean.

So small that it is not worth mentioning.

Such a horrifying scene caused the expressions of the soldiers and heroes who had entered first and were carefully investigating to change drastically.

"There is something strange here! Your Majesty, please retreat immediately!"

"If your Majesty is in trouble, we will never deny the blame even if we die!"

But compared to their panic, Han Shao looked calm.

Feeling the cheers hidden in the void of the tunnel, as well as his rapidly growing and expanding innate soul, Han Shao looked helpless.

This was the fundamental reason why he had to take some risks and enter here in his true form.

If he entered with his Dharma body or soul, given the activeness of this "tunnel", even if he was unwilling to do so subjectively, he would be forced to merge with it, and thus be trapped in it for a long time, unable to escape.

By then, the spirit and soul will not be complete, so what can the remaining soul left in the outside world do to ask Taiyi?
"Your Majesty..."

Hearing Gong Yan's nervous shouts beside him, Han Shao shook his head.

"It doesn't matter."

After saying this, he used his flawless golden body of the Heavenly Man Realm to forcibly suppress his own soul that was about to rush out, and cut off the powerful call from outside.

In an instant, the Nine Nether Blue Road roared, and the already boiling death energy of the Netherworld became even more violent.

It was like an unsatisfied child throwing a tantrum.

Han Shao frowned and snorted coldly with an indifferent expression.

"Get back!"

As soon as his words came out, it was like thunder exploding in the sky, and the entire Netherworld was silent for a moment.

Then, the endless dark and deadly energy that was surging together suddenly dissipated.

……

at the same time.

In the vast and boundless Nine Netherworld, in a magnificent and sacred palace, nine figures with powerful auras suddenly opened their eyes.

"The breath of the living!"

A moment later, nine figures wearing red imperial robes gathered in the central imperial palace.

Eight emperors bowed and saluted towards the burly figure in the middle.

"Meet Taizu!"

The two figures in imperial robes at the end looked a little flustered.

"Why is there another person descending into the underworld? Could it be that the evildoers... the evildoers have come knocking on our door again?"

"Taizu, this...what should we do?"

The burly figure standing in the middle had the most fiery aura, and the domineering look between his brows far surpassed that of any other emperor.

Glancing at the two people who were talking, his expression was filled with indescribable anger and helplessness.

"I was a hero in my lifetime, and the Ji family is an ancient noble family! How come I have useless descendants like you! I am so angry!"

After being scolded, the two figures in imperial robes lowered their heads and shrank their feet, not daring to talk back.

After all, the person in front of them was their ancestor.

Talking back is unfilial.

When the remaining emperors saw this, one of them felt a little sorry and stepped forward to comfort them.

"Taizu, calm down..."

But as soon as he said this, he was slapped in the face by the domineering figure.

"Calm down? Calm down your mother!"

"You are the dumbest here! Those damn civil officials flattered you and gave you the temple name of 'Renzong'. Do you really think you are so righteous and benevolent?"

"If you hadn't cut off your own arm and slashed off the military arm bit by bit, how could our Ji clan have fallen to this point today?"

Renzong, whose imperial crown was tilted by a slap, blushed and dared not talk back.

Because according to the current summary, the key turning point of Dayong's decline was during the reign of Emperor Renzong.

Affected by this, the Yong Dynasty on earth gradually declined, and has fallen into this precarious situation today. He has made an "indispensable contribution".

If not for this, even if the thief had the treasure to rely on, he would not have the courage to come to our door.

In the end, Taizu was forced to use his strength and was able to force them back.

It is a complete disgrace to the royal family.

Speaking of this, I have to mention one point here.

Now the heaven and earth are cut off, and the human world is isolated.

But this does not mean that the three realms have no connection from now on.

Not to mention, in order to achieve enlightenment a cultivator must open the gate of heaven, reflect the heart of heaven, and leave a name in heaven.

Take the Nine Netherworlds, where the dead live.

If the descendants of human beings have strong fortune and the incense is burning continuously, the deceased will have a place in this dark and abyssal world, and may even transform into a ghost hero to rule over a place and continue the glory of the human world.

On the contrary, no matter how glorious your life was, as time goes by, your former fame will gradually be forgotten by the world, and the only way left for you is to be reborn.

This is also the reason why people attach great importance to the continuation of bloodlines and ancestral temples and the country.

In addition to making advance plans for their own afterlife, descendants also offer sacrifices to their ancestors, and the ancestors' spirits will accumulate good karma and return good fortune for the descendants in this dark and blue sky.

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

……

The domineering figure now called Taizu is Ji Tianyuan, the founding emperor of the Yong Dynasty.

After venting his anger, the anger in his body finally subsided.

The rise and fall of dynasties may be inevitable.

His Great Yong Ji family has ruled the country for more than two thousand years. Perhaps it was their fate, so they gave birth to several prodigal sons and daughters one after another, ruining the Ji family's luck!
"It's fate, it's beyond human control—"

With this lament, Ji Tianyuan suddenly felt a little pity for his descendant named Taikang.

When the kingdom and family business were handed over to him, they were already in a mess and in ruins.

If not for this, with his abilities and temperament, he should be more than qualified to be a qualified king who maintains the status quo.

It's a pity that the time was not right for him, and he didn't have the courage and perseverance to break everything and save the world.

"The end is near, what can all the disciples do——"

Thinking of this, even Ji Tianyuan, who once dominated the world and was the only one in the world, couldn't help but feel a little dejected.

At this time, the moods of several emperors before "Renzong" and Ji Tianyuan were roughly the same.

Unfilial descendants will bring disaster to their ancestors.

If he had known this, he should have drowned this bloodline in his body and refined it. But it is too late to regret now.

There is no point in saying more or scolding at the moment. The important thing is how to deal with the sudden and unexpected stranger.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

"Father, let's start the battle formation."

Many things in the underworld are reflections of the human world.

Today, Dayong's fortune has not really declined to the point of a candle in the wind. As long as the formation is together, it can protect the imperial palace.

No matter how powerful that stranger is, he can still resist for a while.

As for what happens in the future, we’ll have to talk about it later.

However, Ji Tianyuan did not move after hearing what everyone said. After venting his anger, he gradually calmed down and suddenly looked stunned.

Seeing that there was a strange look in the eyes of his own royal ancestor, one of the emperors tentatively asked.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Ji Tianyuan, who was making a few finger prints on his hands, suddenly said.

"No need to set up the formation, let's meet that junior together."

Junior?

After these words were spoken, several emperors present blinked their eyes, and then their expressions were stunned.

wrong.

That living person has the imperial dragon energy bestowed by Ji!

Apart from this, there seems to be a vague causal connection with the Ji family.

A marriage alliance?

"Could it be one of the royal relatives of my Ji clan?"

own people?
At this moment, Ji Tianyuan, who had pinched a few more fingers, suddenly burst into laughter.

"I am blessed by heaven! Heaven will not destroy my Ji family!"
