Chapter 208: Secrets of the Underworld

Early the next morning, we said goodbye to Pan Mazi.

I left the big white pig demon to Pan Mazi, he wants to pick up Grandpa Pan's corpse catcher work, there is a living demon by his side, and the safety will be better.

The Pan siblings decided to bury Grandpa Pan's body in the afternoon, so Peniel had to wait until tomorrow to go to Star City.

After all the discussions stopped, I got on the inter-provincial shuttle bus with the old man trafficker, the general, and the heavenly master Zhang, while She Shangguo continued to stay in Laershan to help the Pan family siblings deal with some chores.

Before getting into the car, She Shangguo quietly pulled me aside and repeatedly begged me to say a few kind words in front of Elder He, saying that his goal was to be Elder He in the future, specializing in the affairs of one sect, beauty!

I promised him, in fact, don't look at the three ways that are not well-known among the people, but for the local factions, there are still extremely powerful.

......

The shuttle bus is a medium bus, and the comfort of the taxi when it comes cannot be compared, and the mountain road that turns around is dizzy.

The generals still closed their eyes all the way to recuperate, and the heavenly master Zhang teased the rabbit spirit in his arms all the way, and sometimes fiddled with the mobile phone in his hand.

The old man and I sat together, and he asked the old master and Master Shi Cheng some details in detail, and also focused on his knowledge of the underworld.

He probably understands that my next stop is the underworld.

For ordinary people, the underworld is the ultimate destination of life, a place full of unknowns and fears, and they cannot understand it deeply in their lifetime.

For Daomen, the underworld is equivalent to a local functional department, although few people have been there, but there is always no sense of mystery.

The old man trafficker has walked the rivers and lakes all his life, and he has dealt with not thousands, but hundreds of supernatural events, and his understanding of the underworld is different from that of other Taoist priests.

He told me that ordinary Taoist priests have a misconception about the concept of underworld:

They believe that after death, people will enter the underworld to die, and they will naturally enter Huangquan Road, Nai He Bridge, etc.

Actually, that's not true.

The souls of the dead after death do enter another realm, but not necessarily the underworld, but - the ghost realm!

The ghost world, also known as the underworld, is also known as the underworld, and is the habitat and base camp of all souls in the human world.

Some of them have gained some kind of opportunity in the Netherworld, hiding somewhere and cultivating quietly, in the hope of cultivating into the body of ghosts and immortals, so as to gain the right to walk the Three Realms.

Some of them do nothing, wandering in the underworld all day long, working for this force, selling their lives to that force, in short, all for Shouyuan.

Of course, more of the dead are in the underworld, subject to the jurisdiction of the Book of Life and Death, and decide where you go by what you did during your lifetime.

There are three places for the souls of the dead who enter the underworld.

The first place to go is the Netherworld.

It is a place where the souls of the dead who have been imprisoned and punished for their great sins in life, and the prisons are heavily fortified and there are countless cruel types.

And the rulers of the Netherworld are the four great Yan monarchs known to the people.

Nowadays, there are many movies that call the Ten Halls of Yama, but in fact, this is formed by integrating Buddhist teachings.

In fact, in the mythological system of the Three Realms in Huaxia, there are only four Yan Jun, and I will not express it here as mentioned above.

Yan Jun's duties are very important and simple, to keep the Netherworld functioning properly, the punishment of the punishment, and the release of the release.

Then some friends asked, what is there to be released after going to hell?

Absolutely!

The "Book of Life and Death" is very wonderful, which not only records the life span of the deceased soul in the yang world, but also the life span of the underworld, and even the specific number of years for the evil people to be punished.

And when the revenant soul has been punished by various cool types to the age limit, they will be ruled by Yan Jun again to decide whether they will continue to be punished or can be reborn.

The basis of this ruling is - Sansheng Stone!

The second place where the dead soul goes is the various duties of the underworld.

The underworld is an extremely large institution, in addition to the Emperor Xudu, who is in charge of the ghost world, there are also the Five Directions Ghost Emperor and Luo Yu Six Heavens.

The Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions usually stays in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the underworld, in the five Ghost Emperor Palaces.

Their function is also very single, maintaining the security of the entire underworld and even the ghost world.

As I said earlier, the ghost world is huge, and the underworld is just one of the institutions.

In the boundless ghost realm, there may be some ghost cultivators with profound mana and huge power, once they develop to a certain situation, the underworld will follow the orders of the Son of Yin and Netherworld and send the Five Ghost Emperors to conquer them.

And the six days of Luo Yu is the sphere of influence directly led by the Emperor Xudu, the son of the Yin Heaven.

The six days of Luo Yu should be split into two understandings: Luo Yu and six days!

Luo Yu is the residence and palace of the emperor.

It is said that this is an extremely tall and huge mountain, and the foot of the mountain is the root of death, and the mountain is 2,600 miles high, and it is 300 miles in circumference.

There are ghost god palace rooms up and down the giant mountain, a total of six palaces, one palace is thousands of miles around, it is the god of the palace for six days, so it is called - six days.

In addition to the Five Directions Ghost Emperor and Luo Yu Six Days, the original duties of the underworld also need to be constantly supplemented.

Therefore, some souls with special abilities have this place to go - to serve.

The third place for the souls of the dead is to die! China

When the deceased soul enters the underworld, and is judged by the ruler of the underworld, the Great Yama, according to the "Book of Life and Death", there will be no evil and good deeds in his life, and those who are admired will go to the rebirth.

There is only one place to die, and that is the Meng Po Palace.

Meng Po Hall is not only Meng Po alone, but also has countless duties, such as soul washing envoys, deceased envoys, ferrying envoys, etc.

Like Meng Po, they receive the souls of the dead, manage the souls of the dead, and guide the souls of the dead—the afterlife.

And before the soul of the dead dies, it is necessary to pass through a reincarnation hall, and there is an artifact here - the reincarnation mirror.

......

Hearing this, I admire the old man trafficker, he actually knows so much about the ghost world, has he been there before?

But the old man didn't answer the conversation, he just gave me a blank look, and then went on to introduce the duties of the underworld.

The Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions sits in the Five Directions, Luo Yu rules the Ghost Realm for six days, and the Underworld allocates countless souls in the center.

The functions of the prefecture are the most, in addition to the four great Yan monarchs under the jurisdiction of the Great Yan Monarch, there are the following:

The ghost eater god Zhong Kui, the judge of life and death Cui Fujun, the black and white impermanence will be safe and hopeless, the bull head and horse face hook the soul envoy, Meng Po God and the ten yin handsomes plus seventy-two ghost generals, etc.

These prefectures have much more work than other ministries.

In addition to the normal walking human and ghost worlds, collecting souls and wandering wild souls and dead souls, they also have the security and management of the entire underworld.

Before the clear judgment of the "Book of Life and Death" in the human book, countless souls who have come to the ghost world need to temporarily live in the underworld and wait.

And in this way, the underworld has formed an extremely large soul society.

Like the yang world, some ghosts will do business and work when they are bored, or connect others, and all kinds of livelihood jobs emerge in an endless stream, and the people they seek are also different.

Some of the dead souls knew that their crimes were extremely heinous, and they were afraid that they would be sentenced to the Netherworld, so they tried to escape from the underworld everywhere and ran to other ghost cultivators to seek refuge.

There are also guys who were rich when they were alive, and when they arrived in the underworld, they found that the various jobs in the underworld were quite easy.

It didn't want to seek the afterlife or anything anymore, so it spent all its funeral things with it in order to get a job and seek longevity.

There are even bigger ghosts, they will try their best to escape from the underworld, and recruit some weak ghosts to form their own faction, just like the king of the mountain who has fallen into the grass, eating and drinking spicy food.

In short, the order of the entire ghost world is basically like this for 10,000 years, except for the scope controlled by the underworld, it can be called chaotic.

......

The old man traffickers chattered until they stopped, and I was dizzy and in reverie.

In particular, the "Sansheng Stone" and the "Reincarnation Mirror" he mentioned, as mentioned by the old master and Master Shi Cheng, are extremely important artifacts in the ghost world.

Master Shi Cheng once told me that if you want the ghost world to return to its former order and take the initiative to receive the souls of the human world, you must find a key thing - the Book of Life and Death!

But judging from the information currently available, the Book of Life and Death must have been obtained by the Heavenly Evil.

Alas...... I don't know what the ghost world is like at this time when it has lost its order, and whether I have the ability to turn the tide.

In addition to the worries about the trip to the underworld, I still have one problem that I have not solved, that is-how to get to the underworld?

Actually, I thought about this problem as early as when I was in the desert, and I also grabbed a Heavenly Demon Bead of the Blood Soul Daoist, and I guess this bead went to the ghost world.

But this is speculation after all, and I am not the only one to go this time, the little monk said that he must go, as well as the generals and the heavenly master Zhang, I guess Shi Fatzi also wants to go.

There's likely to be a big battle on this trip to the underworld, so I'm going to go as many people as possible.

But the question of whether a bead can take so many people to the underworld with me is difficult for me.

I put this question to the old trafficker, and he laughed.

The old man told me with a smile that it was not difficult to go to the ghost world now, and that he might have had to turn around in the past, but now he ......

The old man was so confident that I knew he had a solution, so I pestered him and asked him to tell me.

In general, there are three ways to enter the underworld.

First, suicide...... (I didn't mention this)

Second, Mount Tai Hades.

There are feet on the yin side of Mount Tai, there is a house in the feet, there is a king in the house, and the name is Taishan Mansion Jun.

Taishan Fujun is very famous in the history of Chinese mythology, but it is not fixed, and like many priests, it can be rotated.

Like the Tang Dynasty Cui Ziyu, Taishan Taishou Liu Tianweng and the legendary Liu Fujun, they all served as Taishan Fujun, and like Yan Jun, they can all be resigned and rotated.

The third is to go straight to the capital.

The Xudu here does not refer to "Fengdu", but the real Luoyu Mountain.

According to Taoist legend, every year on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the door of the Yin Gate is also open to the Yang world.

At this time, Yin and Yang converge, the two worlds are interconnected, as long as you find the point where Yin and Yang are most concentrated, you can smoothly enter the Xudu Palace!

Under normal circumstances, if the Daoist priest of the Yang World wants to go to the ghost world for something, except for the first one, the other two are fine, but it is a little troublesome.

For example, if you enter the ghost world through Mount Tai's underworld, you need to register in the state of your soul, and then there will be a soul envoy to lure you into the ghost world, and then go to the underworld to perform the corresponding duties after you have done something.

At that time, the official will check and find that your yang life is not over, and you will be sent back to Yunyun.
