Chapter 666: A Yin and Yang Line Divides Life and Death
"I can't get over ......"
In front of the Lechuan River, Feng Qingyan frowned, and he ignored it for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Previously, he believed that the Netherworld had not yet been built, and some rules in folklore could be ignored. But I didn't expect that there was no bridge over the Lechuan River, and the ghosts really couldn't cross it.
But now, where did he find a bridge?
If the ghost can't cross the Lechuan River, it won't be able to reach the Six Realms of Reincarnation, and it won't be able to reincarnate. The Ghost Gate Pass and the Six Paths of Reincarnation are located at opposite ends of the underworld, while the Lechuan River is in an S line, like the yin and yang lines in the Taiji diagram, which just separates them.
"Huh?!"
At this time, Feng Qingyan suddenly realized that the Lechuan River was in the shape of yin and yang lines.
But this is nothing, it is very appropriate to be in the shape of a yin and yang line, and it seems to be in line with the principle of yin and yang. In front of the Lethe River, the ghost is a new life after death, carrying all the memories of life, which can be said to represent "life". And after the Lethe River, the ghost is about to face judgment, erase all memories, and finally reincarnate, which represents "death".
But the pole of yang is yin, and the pole of yin is yang!
At the time of reincarnation, for the identity of a ghost, it represents death. But, for the soul, it is its rebirth......
Therefore, death is extreme, and life is alive.
Of course, the extremes of life are also death.
For ghosts, when they have flesh and blood, they are "dead". Ghosts are for life, and people are for death......
"The way of yin and yang, the pole of yin is for life, and the pole of yang is for death......"
Feng Qingyan stared at the Lechuan River quietly, pondering the principle of yin and yang, and suddenly discovered that the existence of the Lechuan River was not unreasonable.
But that's all?
If that's all there is to it, it doesn't seem like there's a need for that.
What puzzled him was, why is there a Lechuan River and a Nai He Bridge in the underworld? Is it just to divide yin and yang, or to embarrass or punish ghosts?
This is somewhat unreasonable.
And, what curious him the most was, what do they represent in the underworld, and what is their role?
Judging from what he knows so far, the Lechuan River represents the dividing line between life and death, and its role is to divide the yin and yang of heaven and earth, as well as punish lonely souls and wild ghosts......
This makes sense, and it makes perfect sense.
But what about the bridge?
"In folklore, the bridge is narrow and smooth, and there are day and night gods who guard it. And the blood river under the bridge is full of insects and snakes, the waves are rolling, and the fishy wind is blowing in the face......"
"There is also a legend that after death, the ghosts will cross the Nai River Bridge, the good will cross the bridge smoothly with the protection of the gods and Buddhas, and the evil will be beaten into the river of blood to suffer ......"
"And the bridge is divided into three layers or three, the ghosts of the good can safely cross the bridge on the upper level, the good and the evil cross the bridge in the middle, and the ghosts of the wicked cross the bridge on the lower level, but they are mostly bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs......"
At this time, Feng Qingyan thought about it carefully, analyzed it a little bit in his mind, hoping to find some useful information from it, so as to uncover the true face of Nai He Bridge.
However, folklore is a mess, and some even contradict themselves.
It seems that during the incense festival, pilgrims used to throw paper money or copper plates into the pool, and sprinkled fried rice into the pool, thinking that they could give it to hungry ghosts. There are even many elderly pilgrims who like to walk over the bridge, thinking that by walking on this bridge, they can avoid the pain of crossing the Nai River Bridge after death. ”
"It can be seen that they all just want to be able to cross the Nai River Bridge safely after death......"
"It seems, it's really just a matter of embarrassing and punishing the ghost......"
At this time, Feng Qingyan completely forgot about him, and there was a dazed ghost standing in a daze. The ghost looked around in amazement, and found that it was too related to the legendary Netherworld, and it didn't react for a while.
Moreover, it didn't dare to disturb Feng Qingyan.
They were a few feet away, and Feng Qingyan just whispered to himself, so the ghost didn't hear what he was grunting about.
"Well, it seems that there is another function, it can divide good and evil......
At this time, Feng Qingyan was slightly stunned, and then suddenly shocked in his heart, as if he had discovered the true effect of the bridge.
Divide good from evil!
Yes, the real role is to divide good and evil, and other functions are incidental, and it seems that it cannot be said to be incidental, it should be one of the important functions. In this way, the workload of the prefecture can be greatly reduced. Moreover, if you punish the ghosts on the Naho Bridge and interrogate them again while you are in the Yama Temple, you will obediently confess all your evil deeds......
It's also a means of interrogation!
In addition, it represents a "golden bridge" that connects the underworld and the world, examines goodness and evil, and declares life and death.
"I see!"
At this time, Feng Qingyan basically figured out the Lechuan River and the Nai He Bridge, "It seems to be useless, it seems to be a little redundant, but I can't imagine that there is an important role hidden, and it is reasonable to exist." ”
As for whether there are other effects, Feng Qingyan has not thought of it for the time being. However, at this point, he already knows about the Lechuan River and Nai He seven or eight points, which can help him better rebuild the underworld and manage it.
"Since the Lechuan River and the Nai He Bridge both have their functions, what about the Huangquan Road and the flowers on the other side?" Feng Qingyan thought about it carefully, and after figuring out the Lechuan River and the Nai He Bridge, he didn't think that the Huangquan Road and the flowers on the other side would have no effect.
As the saying goes: to exist is to be reasonable.
Since they exist, then there must be a reason for it, but where is their reason?
"Huangquan Road, also known as the road of connection, refers to the road taken when a person reports to the underworld after death......" At this time, Feng Qingyan suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the ghost gate, the section of the road from the ghost gate to the Lechuan River should be the legendary Huangquan Road.
But what does it do?
"In folklore, people will die when they reach their yang life, which is a normal death. People who die normally must first pass through the ghost gate, and after passing this pass, the soul of the person will become a ghost, and then there is Huangquan Road. However, there are still many lonely ghosts and wild ghosts on Huangquan Road, and they are those ghosts who have not lived a long life and have not died normally. They can neither go to heaven, nor can they be reincarnated, let alone go to the secluded world, they can only wander on the Huangquan Road, waiting for Yangshou to arrive before they can report to the Nine Secluded Heavens, and listen to the fate of the king of Yama......"
Feng Qingyan frowned, pondering these legends.
However, at this time, there are some doubts about the statement "Yang Shou is not over", since Yang Shou is not over, why did he die?
Since they are all dead, how can they be said to be unfinished?
This is somewhat paradoxical.
"It seems that life and death are involved again, and it is rumored that the number of people's life spans is recorded on the life and death book, and the unfinished life of Yang should be from this ......"
Feng Qingyan narrowed his eyes, then shook his head with a wry smile, and found that he was thinking far away again, and suddenly thought of life and death. However, there are too many puzzles in the underworld, so he has to explore and figure out......
Otherwise, how to rebuild the underworld?
