Chapter 1628

Su Xuan noticed the Human King's ugly expression and continued, "Death is sometimes not an end, but a beginning."

"Even if Tang Jinbao dies, it doesn't mean her existence is completely extinguished. Don't you agree? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

Su Xuan shifted his gaze and looked to the side.

Today was destined to be a very special day.

Not only had Su Xuan been waiting in the hospital for a long time, but the Human King Fuxi had also arrived, and after him, another existence had come here.

That was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Logically speaking, it was just another pair of fraternal twins born to the Ma family; given the Ma family's uniqueness, every generation had fraternal twins, which was nothing worth mentioning, and certainly not worth the Human King and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva coming here one after another.

But Tang Jinbao and Ma Dalong were special.

Tang Jinbao died in a car accident, Ma Dalong's persistent faith moved Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who extended her life by one year; now that Tang Jinbao was dying, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva naturally had to come.

As for the Human King's arrival, it was because Tang Jinbao's car accident had something to do with him.

Relatively speaking, only Su Xuan had no connection to Ma Dalong and Tang Jinbao, having come here purely out of interest.

"That is correct, the Underworld will have a place for her." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva answered Su Xuan and bowed to him, "Greetings, Taishang Daozu!"

"I didn't expect Taishang Daozu to be here."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed inexplicably, thinking of the last time he met Taishang Daozu, which was thousands of years ago, when Taishang Daozu was preaching.

At that time, the beings with great supernatural powers in the Three Realms were all just ordinary people.

It was because of Taishang Daozu's preaching that they gradually embarked on the path of cultivation and rose to power.

Afterward, the Three Realms were established.

The Buddha and the Heavenly Emperor were born one after another, but Taishang Daozu gradually hid himself.

However, these beings with great supernatural powers all knew that with Taishang Daozu's ability, as the original preacher, he could never have perished; there was only one possibility, which was that he had always been hidden in the mortal world.

This precisely illustrated the concept of "Taishang Wuwei" (Supreme Non-action).

Upon hearing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's words, the Human King also looked at Su Xuan in surprise.

While traveling in the mortal world, the Human King witnessed the birth of beings with great supernatural powers like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Buddha, and the Heavenly Emperor.

He also felt curious about the original preacher, the one revered as Taishang Daozu.

Because he knew very well how weak the human race was.

After all, he had once been the Human King and had protected humanity.

And the appearance of that person had rewritten this pattern, leading to the birth of practitioners; even weak humans, as long as they cultivated, could still gain powerful strength.

The current Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Buddha, and other existences all started as weak humans who cultivated.

Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the Human King had never met that Taishang Daozu, and he hadn't expected to meet him today.

"I am just interested in the Ma family; after all, their origin is truly extraordinary!"

Su Xuan explained to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and added, "However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva coming here shouldn't just be to receive Tang Jinbao. Over the past year, have you made your plans?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not hide anything, "Yes, originally I only intended to do some things, but now that Tang Jinbao's two children have been born, I finally know what I can do."

"Ma Dalong, this guy, is truly enviable; not only did he marry a beautiful wife, but he can also be the father of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Su Xuan sighed.

The Human King was startled again upon hearing this.

His gaze fell upon the two children he had ignored.

He ignored the girl, but when his gaze fell upon the boy, he immediately discovered the problem.

This boy, although alive and having vital signs, had... no soul.

This was an extremely strange thing.

Combined with what Su Xuan had just said, the Human King could roughly understand what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was planning to do.

Because of what Su Xuan had said earlier, the Human King did not go to Tang Jinbao and Ma Dalong, nor did he try to turn Tang Jinbao into a zombie.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, however, came before Ma Dalong and Tang Jinbao.

After he explained the situation clearly to Ma Dalong.

Although Ma Dalong was reluctant to let Tang Jinbao die, he knew that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva extending her life by one year was already a great favor; he had been happy enough this year and shouldn't be greedy for more.

Upon learning that Tang Jinbao would serve in the Underworld after her death, Ma Dalong felt a sense of relief.

Soon, Tang Jinbao died.

Her soul, with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's help, appeared before Ma Dalong to bid him a final farewell.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva watched them say goodbye and finally personally escorted Tang Jinbao to the Underworld.

After Tang Jinbao's soul entered the Underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not leave immediately but spoke to Ma Dalong about some things—this time, about Ma Dalong's children.

Ma Dalong was stunned after hearing what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had to say.

What Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said was beyond his expectations.

But in the end, for the sake of his children, he agreed.

……

This period was a time of great joy and great sorrow for Ma Dalong.

First, his wife Tang Jinbao gave birth to two children for him.

However, on the very day the children were born, Tang Jinbao died.

After handling Tang Jinbao's funeral.

Ma Dalong handed his daughter over to his aunt Ma Danna; no one knew what he had said to her.

Afterward, Ma Xiaoling stayed with Ma Danna and was raised by her.

As for himself, he took his son Ma Xiaohu and left the Exorcist Dragon Clan Ma family, heading to an unknown destination.

At the same time, a huge change occurred in the Underworld.

That was, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chose to reincarnate.

Since Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took charge of the Underworld, it had been striving to maintain order in the netherworld; no one expected him to reincarnate at this time.

The Underworld was shaken by this.

But this was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's decision after all, and the many ghosts and gods of the Underworld could not oppose it.

It is worth mentioning that before reincarnating, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chose a deputy; this ghost/god would handle the many affairs of the Underworld on his behalf after he reincarnated.

This ghost/god was also a famous figure.

It was none other than the Zombie Priest Mao Xiaofang!

During his lifetime, Mao Xiaofang subdued countless demons and ghosts, and after his death, upon entering the Underworld, he continued to contribute, guiding wandering souls and maintaining order in the netherworld; now, with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's reincarnation, he became the deputy directly.

It is evident how much he was trusted by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
