Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 41: Taishang Laojun: Please give me, an old man, some face

Zhang Tian was invited into the Netherworld Palace.

His face was calm.

It was expected.

After all, he is no longer a stupid college student with clear eyes. He has experienced the beatings of society in his previous life. After traveling through time, he has also experienced some worldly ways and naturally knows how difficult those officials are.

Not to mention the King of Hell.

If I don't mention some background, I'm afraid that the little ghost blocking the road would have some trouble getting by. Although he is called a little ghost blocking the road, he also has a name, either the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Ghost or the Black and White Impermanence.

In other worlds.

That's a one-of-a-kind existence!
It can be used in any ghost movie, no matter if you have a hundred-year-old evil ghost or a thousand-year-old vengeful spirit, just one soul-catching chain can teach you a lesson.

So Zhang Tian directly revealed his identity, and did not mention Qingniu. Instead, he directly took out the note from Taishang Laojun. It worked, and he immediately joined the queue and jumped from the back of the long team of ghosts to the front.

He followed the ghost soldiers and entered the gloomy hall. On both sides were ghost officials with green faces and fangs, and sitting on the high hall was none other than King Yama!

Although there are ten kings of hell in the underworld.

The names and appearances of the Yamas in each hall are different, such as Qin Guang King, Chu Jiang King, and Wheel-Turning King.

But I don’t know how the ten of them arrange their working hours or how they divide the territory. Anyway, the King of Hell in front of them has the highest attendance rate.

In Dongsheng Shenzhou, his subordinates Black and White Impermanence hooked up the wrong souls, which caused a huge mess. They hooked the rebellious Monkey King to the underworld, and then the King of Hell who was beaten and crawled under the table was actually him!

In Nanshanbuzhou, his subordinates took away the wrong souls again and caused trouble again. They lured the Emperor Li Shimin, whose life span was not yet over, to the underworld. Then, it was King Yama who was anxious to get rid of him!

In Xiniu Hezhou, he is the one who hooked away the soul of a kind-hearted old man who helped a pilgrim to obtain Buddhist scriptures but was killed by robbers. And he is the unlucky King Yama who was visited by monkeys!

There are only four continents in total.

I wonder if the King of Hell of Uttarakuru is the one in front of me?

Zhang Tian respectfully saluted the King Yama in front of him. Although the other party was beaten into a table by the monkey, he was not someone he could afford to provoke. To be realistic, even if he could work hard to become an immortal within 30 years, he might not be able to catch up with the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals who were easily beaten away when the monkey made trouble in the Heavenly Palace in the future.

He told his name and family background, and then told about the injustice he had suffered, "I have been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, and have reached the level of a martial saint. I will live for at least a hundred years."

"Later, I got an opportunity and joined the immortal sect. I learned the immortal method and gained the power of longevity. My soul was even cultivated into a Yin God. I am afraid that I will have a lifespan of at least 500 years."

"Now I know that my life span has come to an end. This is really a great injustice. I beg King Yama to take charge and return my life span to me!"

The lifespan of a martial artist in the human world is limited and cannot be endured. The maximum lifespan is no more than a hundred years. However, after entering the path of immortality, every breakthrough in one realm is like living a new life, and the lifespan can be extended by a hundred years.

The state of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness.

It is also a creation of mankind.

Can extend lifespan to five hundred.

If one obtains Yang Shen, the number can reach eight hundred or even one thousand.

If one could go one step further and enter the realm of refining the void and merging with the Tao, and condense the three flowers, for every extra flower one obtains, one could live an extra thousand years.

If he could achieve the Tao and become a true immortal, he would be free and free from the constraints of the Book of Life and Death in the underworld. He would no longer have to worry about his life span, and would only have to worry about the three disasters that occurred every five hundred years. Upon hearing this, King Yama ordered his men to check, and indeed, he found Zhang Tian's name on the Book of Life and Death. He was quite surprised, thinking that he was an extraordinary genius, who not only practiced martial arts successfully, but also turned to cultivating immortality. In just a few years, he became a Yin God and had the potential to become an immortal.

But he still sneered in his heart.

It was because he saw what was written on the back of the Book of Life and Death: "Originally, he had a life span of 780 years, but because the immortals in heaven crossed out the number of years, his fate was tainted with karma, and he will not live to see the end of his life."

King Yama laughed: I thought he was a disciple of some big sect, how could he get the attention of Taishang Laojun, but it turns out he was someone who offended Taishang Laojun.

I'm scaring myself.

He laughed loudly, his tone became particularly gloomy, and he slammed the table violently. He felt that he had gained a longer life, saved the energy to collect souls, and saved face for Taishang Laojun. It was really a triple blessing.

I only heard the King of Hell say in a deep voice, "I'm already here!"

Zhang Tian's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something bad was going to happen. Just as he was about to turn around and flee, he heard King Yama scolding the blue ox and saying, "Don't panic, I will take care of it for you!"

Then he saw the King of Hell instructing the judge beside him to change the Book of Life and Death. Not only did he return all the records, he even allowed the other party to add a few entries.

"It's not your fault."

"I, the King of Hell, have made a decision for you regarding the 780 years of life you lost. I will return them all to you, and add another 10 centuries to your life. No, no, no, I will make it a whole and give you 10,000 years of life!"

Zhang Tian was stunned.

My head is buzzing.

I don't know what kind of rounding up this number is, and I didn't expect the King of Hell to be so easy to talk to. Not only did he return my life span, but he also increased it by so much.

He was overjoyed and kept thanking the king. Then he left the Nether Palace under the escort of the ghost soldiers. He looked back and said in his heart that King Yama was really a good man and a good official who upholds justice!

What a great master of Qingtian!
But Zhang Tian was totally unaware. After he left, the judge who was serving beside King Yama couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Yama, that note from Taishang Laojun was obviously written by that thief bull, and that kid must have been killed by that thief bull. What does it have to do with us? Why didn't you deduct that man's life span, but instead gave him so much more?"

To extend one's life span in this way, one has to pay out of one's own pocket. After all, the Book of Life and Death cannot be changed at will.

The judge didn't understand.

After all, in his opinion, the King of Hell is high above, so why should he care about this kind of guy? Even if the other party was wronged and his life was shortened, so what? Aren’t there enough people who have been wronged in the world?
But King Yama said nothing and just sighed quietly.

The judge was confused, "Is the King of Hell afraid of the old cow's owner?"

It shouldn’t be!

Although the green ox is a thief, his owner, Taishang Laojun, is extremely reasonable and kind-hearted. If the old ox causes trouble, Laojun will give him compensation.

He committed a crime in Lingshan back then and was suppressed by Lingshan for thousands of years. Laojun did not go to rescue him. It was that thief cow that escaped on his own.

He crashed into the Pillar of Heaven and broke it, causing a catastrophe for all three realms. Laojun felt ashamed, so he borrowed a fake identity to repair the sky. He paid an unknown amount of money in compensation and is still refining elixirs in Heaven to pay off his debts.

The judge didn't understand, he didn't comprehend.

But he soon understood, because he saw the note in King Yama's hand, and the words on it had been changed in front of them at some point.

Taishang Laojun: My disciple, do you understand?

Judge: I understand!
