Chapter 28 Hades
It was not until the sun was about to set that Xiao Ye politely declined the meal, said goodbye and left, and borrowed Gui Zangyi from him. He planned to take it back and copy it.
Although the printing technology of this time and space in the Tang Dynasty was promoted, considering the leakage factors, the real rare books would not be easily used to type and engrave people, so it would rather be handwritten.
The next day, Xiao Ye went to the village to worship his ancestors. In fact, a child's fame was nothing, mainly because of the symbolic meaning behind the child's life. It indicates that the imprisonment of the court has been released, and the Xiao family finally had the opportunity to re-enter the official position.
In the past, Xiao Ye was not qualified to enter the ancestral hall. This time, Xiao Song took him in personally, kowtowed to the tablets of his ancestors, presented the book to his ancestors for browsing.
The Xiao family is a top family in the Six Dynasties and descendants of the Qi and Liang royal family. The ancestors would not look at a small child. After all, the only one who was demoted was the Jiangdufang branch. The other branches still lived well, and there was no need to consume the power of the underworld to show their saints in the world.
"Yan'er, your nephew is promising!"
When Xiao Ye kowtowed to Xiao Yan's spiritual card, Xiao Song was looking forward to singing the promise. Unfortunately, Xiao Yan's spiritual card did not move, which made him a little disappointed.
"The clan has prepared wine and food for you, and then leave after eating!"
Xiao Song sighed secretly and greeted.
"yes!"
Xiao Ye left the ancestral hall with Xiao Song.
Underworld!
The underworld is divided into eighteen layers, each with one heaven and earth, from the first to the third layer, except for the dimness of the sky, it is almost no different from the world. People live in the family of Jishan, or the emperors of all generations, and even emperors of all generations. The cities are distributed on the boundless land and divided into different countries according to the world. The family of the Xiao family of Lanling is located on the third floor.
The further down, the worse the environment became. After Xiao Yan died, he fell on the eighth floor based on his sins and merits during his lifetime, and was desolate and ruined, and a whistling cold wind blew over him all the time.
If there is no support from the underworld, the soul will gradually be dispersed by the Yin wind, and the soul will be destroyed. Then it will be absorbed to the eighteenth level of the underworld, and will be divided into and reorganized in an incomprehensible way. Based on the merits and karma before its complete death, it will be reborn as a human, animal, animal, insect or plant.
After a person dies, he does not return to the family in the underworld directly, but is scattered everywhere according to his merits and sins during his lifetime. To return to the family, he needs to travel through layers of the underworld and consume a lot of underworld power.
Of course, everything is not absolute. If the tribe members of the world are willing to spend a huge price, they can return to the tribe directly after they die. Obviously, with Xiao Yan's status and the current situation of the Xiao family's Jiangdu house, it is impossible.
Therefore, in the underworld, the power of the underworld is the most important. Even the big figures in the first three levels will die if they lose the power of the underworld. Each one struggles to survive for the power of the underworld. The sources of the power of the underworld are diverse.
First, you can get rewards for hard labor in the underworld.
Second, trade and exchange peng coins.
Third, farming the underworld fields, harvesting the underworld seeds and various underworld vegetables, or raising the underworld animals and underworld birds, you can eat them yourself, or exchange them for the underworld coins.
Fourth, exploration, this is the most dangerous one. Many ghosts will die during the adventure, but they may obtain martial arts and treasures. There are also the original ecology of ghosts and ghost grass. Many ghosts located at the bottom will explore in groups.
Moreover, although the environment of the underworld becomes worse as it goes down, the level of development is sufficient and the greater the harvest will be.
Fifth, it is given by relatives in the Yang world, which is also the easiest way to obtain the power of the underworld.
Of course, burning paper money is useless for paper people. The relatives of the underworld can only receive a series of things related to the cultivation of luck, such as true qi, literary qi, and official qi.
Sixth, rushing into the management class of the underworld, getting salary and practicing martial arts is almost impossible to think about for ordinary ghosts.
On this day, a small milky white vortex suddenly appeared in the small blue brick courtyard where Xiao Yan lived, and a trace of literary energy came over. Through the vortex, he could vaguely see that Xiao Ye was kneeling down to his spiritual card. The small trace of literary energy came from Tong Sheng’s book.
"Husband, your nephew is here to send filial piety, please accept it."
A woman walked out from behind, a little pretty, and at her thirties, she said happily.
The woman was from Gaozhou, the Tang Dynasty. Her mother's surname was Li. She died of dysfunction when she gave birth to her third child. She was sent to the vicinity of Xiao Yan's house on the eighth floor. A female ghost was very difficult to survive in the underworld. Xiao Yan happened to be interested in her, so the two became husband and wife in the underworld.
“Ha~~”
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to wipe it off. The vortex gradually dissipated without taking any literary spirit.
Li said inexplicably: "Since your nephew is filial to you, why don't your husband take it? Although this kind of literary talent is not very good, the environment in the underworld is too bad. With literary talent, it can at least be better."
"It's not that my husband doesn't want to take it, it's that he can't get it!"
Xiao Yan shook his head, but he didn't explain much.
He knew Xiao Ye's identity. When he was Xiao Ye's uncle, he felt that he was overbearing, so how could he dare to accept Xiao Ye's tribute? Moreover, Xiao Ye, as the prince of Li Tang, could not detect his bloodline without checking his bloodline in the world, but in the underworld, there was a faint dragon energy in Xiao Ye's tribute. If he collected it himself, it would be difficult to hide it from those who were interested.
As far as he knows, the two princes of the Li family, Li Hong and Li Xian, both died at the hands of Empress Wu, and the emperor in the world was about to die. Empress Wu was just a matter of morning and evening, and the yin and yang worlds were not completely isolated. Once Xiao Ye leaked his identity in the underworld, it was very likely that he would be passed on to Empress Wu. With Empress Wu's ruthlessness, Xiao Ye would never allow him to live in the world.
...
After having dinner in the clan, Xiao Ye said goodbye and left.
This meal was the most difficult time he had ever eaten in his life. Although no one in the clan mentioned Xiao Rang and his son, he could feel that the enthusiasm of the four brothers of the Xiao family, even with some flattering smiles, was hidden indifference and hatred.
You know, from beginning to end, the family is provoking trouble, bullying Du's orphan daughter, widowed mother, and eating a family may seem very common to people at that time, but Xiao Ye comes from modern times and must be disliked.
It’s okay if you don’t have the ability, but if you have the ability, how can you not stand up?
As a result, I was held in grudge.
Such a family made him feel heartbroken and did not even distinguish between the most basic right and wrong. When I recall that the Xiao family was in Qi and Liang for two generations, the brother Ni Kun and the internal fighting in the palace was unprecedentedly fierce. All the emperors, except for Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, were short-lived emperors.
Even though Hou Jing was in trouble in Jiangdong, Xiao Yan and his sons still fought against each other, causing a small court in Jiangling to become puppets of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The remaining branches were destroyed by Chen Baxian in the internal struggle. All kinds of things were unbearable and created the ugly scene in Chinese history.
It turns out that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can dig holes, and the bad nature in the genes will be passed down!
If it weren't for the kindness of the old patriarch Xiao Song's letter, Xiao Ye would be lazy to be vain and imprison him.
In the next half month, Xiao Ye went to Zhang's house every day and taught him all the chants and reading calligraphy. The so-called three people must have my master. In the discussion with Chen Zi'ang, Xiao Ye corrected some small mistakes, and Chen Zi'ang benefited even more. He felt that his understanding of the meaning of the scriptures was a long time. Not to mention taking the exam for scholars, he would be confident in giving exams to the exam for scholars now.
