In fact, the Wheel King doesn't know the origin of Wulai, only that the Ten Palaces of the Yama King have changed round after round, without exception, they all call him "Ancestor", and more well-informed people reveal that he has a deep relationship with the Sanqing Great Immortal who is in the limelight.

It can be seen that although this person was degraded by death and could not ascend to heaven, his background should not be underestimated. In order to show respect, the Wheel King specially sent a team of capable ghost soldiers to escort Wulai to the Lechuan River, giving him enough face.

The Lechuan River is the barrage between the jurisdiction of the underworld and the gate of the six paths, and the famous Nai He Bridge is erected on it. This section from the Yama Hall to the Lechuan River is the only way to be reincarnated, and there are countless wandering souls and wild ghosts along the way.

And with the escort of the ghost soldiers, you can save a lot of worry when you don't come. The bodies of the Yin Spirits were naturally afraid of His Royal Highness Hades' errands, and even if they were hot for the pale yellow document in Wulai's hand, they would never dare to make a mistake.

Occasionally, some frenzied people rushed forward, and the leading ghost officials rewarded them with two soul whips, and they were completely wiped out. Those who were originally ready to move quietly retreated, and the ghost soldiers passed all the way clean and undisturbed.

Some ghosts can suck the smoke from the ground, and their souls are more vivid and thick. More ghosts sit among the rocks and weeds, silent, and their souls are dim, like lights about to go out, like beggars dying of death. Judging from the attitude shown by the ghost group when they get along, the former is stronger.

I didn't come to see a few high-spirited ghosts walking alone, and seeing their bright souls, they belonged to a stronger category. They carry reincarnation papers, and if there is a snatcher, they often punch and kick them out.

The ghost soldiers ignored this, and they didn't care about anything else except the ghost eating the ghost. In fact, even if you grab the reincarnation document, it is useless, because the Gate of the Six Paths will screen the soul qi on the paperwork, and the soul qi is such a thing, and what each ghost has is unique.

Of course, not all reincarnation books will be coveted. Those pale blue are the proof of entry into the way of the beast, and those who receive it have no joy on their faces. It is better to be a lion and a tiger in the next life, but if you turn into a cow and a horse, you will not have to suffer a lifetime of hard work and reprimand. There are even more unfortunate people who turn into pigs and chickens, not only will they be trapped in prison for the rest of their lives, eating glutinous soup and dung, but they are also destined to suffer the great torture of peeling the skin and dissolving the meat.

And some documents, when the final seal is stamped, will turn dark red or indistinct hemp gray, which means that its karma is the path of hungry ghosts or hells. The holders of such documents are escorted to the Nai He Bridge by ghost soldiers, and the ghosts who pass by are like snakes and scorpions.

Therefore, there can be a big gap not only between people, but also between ghosts. With a little emotion, some memories from a long time ago came to mind.

At that time, humanity was not born, and among the Three Realms, the heavenly beings and Shura lived in the upper realm, the beasts and birds lived in the middle realm, and the evil ghosts lived in the lower realm.

Outside the Three Realms, there is an underworld, which is the place of rebirth. After the death of the creatures of the realm, they become yin bodies and leave the world, and they take a temporary residence here to be judged. This realm is a place where the soul is hidden, there is no thing, no life, and no death, but only coming, going, and staying.

When the soul of the dead reaches the underworld, unless it is a person who has reached the end of his life and is ready to be reincarnated, the rest have nothing to eat, and feed on his own kind. Just as Gu worms devour each other, and the rest become stronger, the underworld has eaten a few ghost emperors that give the masters of all realms a headache, as well as countless powerful ghosts. Not only does it disrupt the order of the underworld, but it also causes the excessive concentration of soul sources, which will inevitably affect the great cause of reincarnation in the long run. This is the reason why the rulers of the underworld hate ghosts and ghosts.

Later, humanity was founded, and finally there was a solution. Every thought and wish of a person for the deceased is actually the energy that is taken out of the soul, so it is fed in the underworld with the breath of smoke and candles, and the evil of cannibalism between yin and soul is eliminated.

But there are always some dead souls, who have little love before their deaths, and no one is sad and worried, and there are so many wild cats and dogs who die in the alleys, no one cares, no one cares, so what do they (it) feed on when they go to the underworld?

The rulers of the underworld could not achieve perfection, so they had to make strict rules that those who dared to eat souls should be whipped and killed, and their souls would be destroyed forever, and even ghosts could not do it.

Therefore, among the souls of the dead who stay in the underworld, those who have smoke to eat will live a more nourishing life and will be relatively more "robust". And those who have no food will either survive until the day of rebirth, or they will be consumed by time and all their soul marks will end completely.

It is probably impossible to say whether the ghosts will have feelings and feed on them? It is probably impossible, because ghosts do not deserve to have lust and faith, and every time they move their feelings, it is like cutting off a piece of flesh on their bodies, and there is no reason to cut meat and feed each other.

Lost in deep thought, the team had reached the banks of the Lethe River, where there seemed to be an invisible majesty that made the wandering spirits dare not set foot in it. There was a thick fog on the shore that slowly swirled, and occasionally a ghost intruded in and was overshadowed by it, and was never seen again.

Looking from afar, you can vaguely see that the river is blood-yellow, exuding gusts of fishy wind. Countless monsters, large and small, swim in the water, screaming one after another, and a series of bubbles can be seen everywhere on the surface of the river, and when they stop, it represents the end of a killing.

This Lethe River is an extralegal place that all ghosts love and hate. The water is densely covered with snakes and insects, which is the incarnation of the soul qi of the underworld, which is originally to prevent the unbooked ghost from crossing the river without permission to break through the gate of the six paths. On the other side of the river, there are also many powerful poisons guarding them.

Those who have lost hope of reincarnation and are waiting to be killed take this river as their final destination. Some struggled to withstand the bite of snakes and insects and ate them, and it was difficult to continue their lives. In the river, ghost eating is unregulated, so only a few drowning ghosts live until the time comes to reincarnate and go ashore to be reborn.

Some sections of the river were blackened and smelled more foul-smelling, and the fighting and killing there were more frequent and intense. The ghost official at the head frowned, and scolded: "Which slacker secretly poured waste oil into the river, I will definitely tell the king, strictly investigate it to the end, reward it with one hundred and eighty whips, and then throw it into the pot and fry it fiercely!"

The "waste oil" it refers to the used soul refining oil, also known as evil oil, which should have been transported to the border of the underworld for deep burial. Some coolies poured directly into the Lethe River for convenience, which was strictly forbidden by Hades, because the evil oil would make the creatures in the river have an evil temperament.

At this moment, a ray of light cracked in the gray sky, and beautiful golden clouds were squeezed out of the light. A loud and indifferent voice rang out in every corner: "The hour has come, eat and eat." ”

Immediately, one by one, the flying ghosts and the long-handed ghosts each used their magical powers to take off pieces of golden clouds. It was specially sent out by the ten halls of the underworld to receive meals.

The ghost official hurriedly said to Wu: "Your Excellency, if you don't send a good road, you can see the Divine Bridge in the fog barrier with the reincarnation book." I'll go back and give the king a life. Wulai nodded, and the ghost officer said goodbye and led the ghost soldiers to gallop back.

The so-called Lu Shan came from the heavenly realm. For the gods and immortals, the belief in the creatures of the heavenly realm is very beneficial, but the offerings from the human world are like chicken ribs, and they are simply given to the underworld as a feast for the soldiers, which is for the "Lu meal". So the ghost soldiers rushed back to "eat", and they didn't have a meal when they were late.

But there was a minion ghost with a crickety figure who didn't leave, and bowed deeply to Wulai, and said, "I take the liberty of asking, have you ever been to Qingping Prefecture before your death?"

"I've traveled. "There is no head.

"Can you please help me inquire about someone?"

"Say it. ”

"I had a nephew when I was alive, and I can't remember what his name was or what he looked like. I only remember that he was the champion of Qingping Prefecture. ”

I don't know what's going on. After this person died, he became a bad guy, and it was a coincidence that he could meet him.

"I know you, your nephew is doing well now, don't worry. Wulai looked at the rickets, and suddenly the conversation changed, "But why didn't you go to hell?"

The ghost soldier involuntarily took three steps backwards and bowed to the ground, "I know that I am guilty of a great sin, and the king also said that I should have gone to hell, but what I did at the last moment of my life reversed my karma and was sentenced to the path of animals. The king happened to be short of some servants, so he left me in the palace for the time being. ”

"Listening to the Venerable Master's words, I have no regrets and am grateful, and I will repay myself as a cow and a horse in the next life. I also asked the Venerable Master to take care of my nephew after returning to the sun. The ghost soldier kowtowed heavily.

"You are just a chess piece, manipulated by an invisible hand, pushed into the abyss of fate. However, I was better than that player. If you have repentance, get up. The sound of nothingness seemed to drift into the distance.

The ghost soldier stood up, and when he saw that he was gone, he was already in the fog.

"There is a long way to go in the world, and it is cherished. ”

I don't know who the ghost soldier said this to.
