Chapter 24: A Night Visit to the Mansion of the Underworld
After a person dies, the undead have two options.
First, reincarnation, reincarnation after entering the netherworld and passing judgment.
First, if there is a great creation and a sacrifice of descendants, it can be classified into the ancestral tomb and the yin house, and the incense will not be extinguished. As long as future generations continue to sacrifice, they can survive for a long time. However, this kind of retention is only a stopgap measure, and if the incense is cut off or after a few generations, it will be transferred to reincarnation again. Therefore, in order to establish their own lives, these ancestral spirits must also protect the peace of their homes and protect their own sources of incense.
Of course, there is also a kind of ancestral spirit that is more noble, that is, people who have been sacrificed by the dynasty and canonized by the emperor after death. In addition to incense, these people are also blessed by the luck of the imperial court. As long as the court survives, they can survive forever.
Jia Daishan is the third category, he was posthumously awarded the title of "Zhongding Duke" by the emperor, protected by dragon energy, and lived in the underworld mansion with his father and uncle.
Now Jiafu is prominent in the yang world, and the underworld is also a powerful party. After all, Ning Rong Ergong was the one who followed the founding emperor back then, and now the founding lord is the son of heaven in the underworld, and they are also powerful ministers.
On this day, the second prince went to the Netherworld Ghost Palace to see Emperor Zu, Jia Daihua also went to the underworld to visit old friends, and only Jia Daishan guarded the ancestral tomb of Jiafu.
Ghosts eat incense, and at the same time, the meat, animals, melons and fruits offered will have a fragrance into the ancestral house and become the exclusive food of ghosts.
Jia Dai Shanle was holding a bunch of milk grapes and chewing them, and suddenly there was purple steaming outside the ancestral tomb.
"Which immortal is here?"
The ghost spirit has yin energy all over his body, which is completely different from the pure yang qi on the monk's body, but in an instant, Jia Daishan understands that this is a yang cultivator.
When I went out to check, I saw my granddaughter standing at the door, looking panicked, and her colorful clothes were damaged. Shocked, he hurriedly brought Wei Qian into the Yin House.
"You girl is actually an adult?" How many people, the ultimate goal of a lifetime, she actually completed it at the age of ten?
Wei Qian patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. This way out of Jinling City, was reprimanded by many door gods. After all, there are door god New Year paintings in the city, and there are even many people with portraits of Zhong Kui. Wei Qian was also fortunate to see the Ghost Hunter Heavenly Master from afar, and was almost shattered by the evil qi on Zhong Kui's body, and hurriedly ran to the suburbs.
"I got a little bit of fairy fate." Wei Qian didn't want to talk about it, but complained: "My grandson has just learned the righteous path of human immortals, and I wanted to share it with my grandfather, but I didn't expect to be sharpened by the gods of all parties along the way." โ
Jia Daishan took out the Yin Spirit Fruit and said happily: "These melons and fruits are the fruits of your uncle's sacrifice, and the aroma condenses the Yin Spirit Fruit with the incense, which is suitable for our ghosts." Your body is like us, you taste it. โ
Wei Qian picked up a jade pear, looked at it, and tasted it silently.
It is said that ancient times are good, but Wei Qian has traveled over the years and is eager to miss modern life. In this unknown era, many melons and fruits have not yet been transmitted to China from outside.
Strawberries, mangoes and other things, Wei Qian has missed it for ten years. Moreover, the transportation between the north and the south is inconvenient, and the preservation is not as good as that of modern times, so the melons and fruits eaten by Wei Qian can only follow the local season. Only on rare occasions would Jia Mei or Mrs. Wei ask someone to go to other places to prepare.
And this kind of transportation, the cost is not small.
The Wei Mansion couldn't afford that kind of luxury, but the Rong Mansion didn't care. Coupled with the royal offerings, there are a lot of fruits that Wei Qian misses on this side of the Yin Mansion in Jiafu.
After eating a lot, the Yin God also improved a little, and the fatigue of the journey dissipated.
Wei Qian hurriedly asked, Jia Daishan stroked his palm and smiled: "Your Yin God body is similar to that of ghosts and gods such as us, but you can eat incense and grow stronger." But I couldn't see the sun, the thunder, or the might. In the future, you should pay attention to yourself, do not go out of the body yin god in the daytime, do not go out of the body yin god in a thunderstorm, and do not approach the god statue at will, so as not to be punished by the gods. โ
If it weren't for the taboo of yin and yang, these ghosts and gods would secretly protect their descendants and suppress the enemy, and when the time came, the ghosts and gods in the world would be chaotic, what should they do?
The New Year's pictures posted by every household are mostly against these ghosts and gods, so as not to harm the living. Therefore, even the high-level ghosts and gods such as Jia Daishan can only dream of their descendants, or ask the monks to take care of their own descendants.
Jia Daishan's eyes fell on Wei Qian, now he is a human immortal, if he becomes an earth immortal in the future, then Jia and Wei can be guaranteed for a thousand years!
Even now, she can communicate with the sun through guรฒ.
In ancient times, Wei Qian, a girl who could communicate yin and yang, was called a "witch". Responsible for praying for gods and ghosts, as the center of yin and yang.
Ghosts and gods are different from living people, and living people must use their own essence and spirit to cultivate immortal immortals. Ghosts and gods have no physical body, only a yin spirit, and what they seek is to offer incense or find an errand in the underworld. If the ghosts and gods have no descendants to sacrifice and no dynasty canonization, they are no different from ordinary ghosts, so it is very important to protect future generations. To put it mildly, even if this dynasty falls, as long as the descendants can still sacrifice, several ancestral spirits of the Jia family can still live.
Thinking of this, Jia Daishan's attitude towards Wei Qian became more and more gentle, the grandparents and grandchildren were happy, and Wei Qian also asked about the ancestral spirit of Weifu.
"Guard." Jia Daishan has lived in the underworld for three years, and he is a little more familiar with the situation in the underworld, so he picked the important one and said to Wei Qian: "There is a ghost emperor in the underworld who leads a group of ghosts. But because of the changes in the situation in the underworld, the people of the underworld will also have conflicts in the dynastic camp. Especially when the dynasties changed, the people of the two dynasties fought with each other in the underworld. Simply, Emperor Xudu ordered the corresponding dynasty โกโก the yang world to establish a dragon court in the underworld, and bring us noble people into the dragon court. Establish a ghost outside the ghost city of Xudu, responsible for maintaining the order of the undead in the underworld for hundreds of years. โ
Wei Qian drew inferences: "If this dynasty falls, then the right to maintain order will be handed over to the next dynasty?" โ
"Yes, the people who have died in the past few hundred years are all people of this dynasty, and if they are not reincarnated and stay in the underworld, they will all enter the dragon court of this dynasty. A few years ago, I also saw the ruins of the former dragon court in the underworld. After there are no descendants to sacrifice, the ghosts of the former dragon court are shrinking, and it is not as good as a year. โ
Jia Daishan said compassionately: "Extrapolation, if it comes for another hundred years, I am afraid that the ghosts of the previous dynasty will completely disappear, and even those emperors of the previous dynasty will be reincarnated or completely wiped out." โ
The battle of the underworld is cruel and in no way inferior to the yang. Jia Daishan didn't want to mention it in front of his granddaughter, so he once again pulled the topic to Wu Yibo of Weifu.
"Our Jia family is valued by the founding ancestor of this dynasty, and it is the high-level of the Longting Ghost Kingdom, and we can no longer go to the underworld to work part-time, and the lifeblood of luck is connected to the royal family. But Uncle Wu Yi is different, he was just an earl back then, and later entered the underworld earlier than โกโก, and was ordered by Emperor Xudu to establish the Dragon Court Ghost Palace for Emperor Zu. The emperor saw that he was diligent and hardworking, and because he was not relied on by Emperor Zu later, he transferred him to the capital with an imperial edict. โ
Don't look at the fact that those emperors in the yang world can continue to enjoy themselves in the underworld after they die, this is all time-limited. When the yang world was in charge of the authority of Sheji, the status of the ancestral god of the underworld was comparable to that of the Ten Palaces of the Underworld, but when the dynasty collapsed and the authority of the Sheji was lost, he needed to be obedient with his tail between his legs and silently wait for the day when the Dragon Court would fall. This destruction may well mean the end of the ashes.
Not even the Ten Palaces can be compared, let alone the higher level of the Lord of the Xudu, the Son of Heaven in the underworld. To put it bluntly, these founding emperors were just too lazy and unwilling to work personally to govern the ghost people, so they pulled them out to work.
After working for hundreds of years, it will be replaced, anyway, the human dynasty does not realize it, and there are so many people who do it.
"Then apart from our ancestors, there is no one else in the old mansion?"
Jia Daishan shook his head: "Those people in your family either followed Wu Yibo to the ghost town, or they were reincarnated early." โ
Wei Qian was a little disappointed, and his body was a little fluctuating, Jia Daishan said: "You have just become an immortal, and your realm is not stable, so return to the body as soon as possible, so as not to have a business trip." โ
Before leaving, he also asked Wei Qian to bring a lot of melons and fruits.
A gust of wind blew, and Wei Qian returned to Weifu. It would be much easier to come back this time, and the door god of the Wei Mansion would not reject her no matter what, so she was returned to the flesh by the way.
The movement here was a little louder, and the boxwood outside woke up and couldn't help shouting: "Miss? โ
"I'm fine." Wei Qian coped with a few words, and sighed secretly in her heart: Now that she has succeeded in cultivating, she can't hide it from the people around her no matter what. It seems that it is indeed necessary to break one or two.
"Hongchun can take a look at it again, Huangyang is also old, it is better to give a grace and let it out." Wei Qian had an idea and went to discuss with Jia Mei the next day.
Jia Mei said abruptly: "In the end, it's the person around you, ask her what she means, see if there is anyone in your heart, if it's in the family, directly help them get married, and then go to Zhuangzi to work for a few years, and then talk back." But you don't have this personal maid, will you have to change someone when the time comes? โ
"Forget it, my daughter is also old, and she can't take care of herself? Besides, there's also the red toon. Now there is no suitable person in the house, let's talk about it in a few years. Tomorrow, I have to go to the Huangfu to see my aunt. โ
"That's right, there's no rush." Jia Mei thought of Wei Qian's marriage, and said: "Your Aunt Min's idea that day is indeed feasible, why don't you find someone and let the Huang Mansion adopt you?" โ
"Forget it, my daughter doesn't want to get married yet!" Wei Qian found an excuse to leave the Wei Mansion and took Hongchun up the mountain again to listen to Lingyun's preaching.
However, this time, Wei Qian was greedy for the scenery on the road, so she didn't go from the right path, but took Bai Yunmarten and Hongchun to climb the mountain from the trail, deliberately testing Hongchun's patience.
Lingyun once said to Wei Qian that the ancestor of Tianyuan was the maid of the old mother of Lishan back then, and she cultivated the Tao with the grace of the old mother. Now Wei Qian thinks selfishly, if there is one more person around to take care of her, she will also have multiple companions on the road to becoming an immortal when the time comes, and she can also help herself block the temptation of many people.
Putting away the red toon, no one will doubt Wei Qian's daily actions in the future.
But cultivating immortals is not easy, and Wei Qian reluctantly entered the Tao with a fairy fate. Where did she find a fairy fate for Hongchun? Therefore, we can only see if Hongchun's temperament can enter the Tao first, and then make plans.
On the road, stop and go, the white cloud marten from time to time from the dense forest to pick up a lot of wild fruits, Wei Qian smiled and let the red toon put away, seeing the wild vegetables lush green, smiled and said: "Speaking of these wild grasses have also grown, go back and invite a few senior sisters to go down the mountain together, let's make a few wild vegetable dumplings." โ
Hongchun pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss is really not like the master of brocade clothes and jade food. Which big family would eat this kind of thing? โ
Wei Qian shook her head: "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat water, haven't I eaten with a few sisters every day in the mountains all these years?" Fortunately, the master does not require vegetarianism, and he can mix a meal of meat dishes every few days. Later, I'll go head hunting for a boar after a change of clothes. Then he beckoned a few senior sisters to come down and pick wild vegetables together. Freshly sprouted wild vegetables are mixed with mushrooms picked from the mountains, fat and thin wild boar, and spices such as star anise and cinnamon are added to the filling. Wheat from the North Estuary and water from mountain springs and noodles are harvested. Finally, rice vinegar and ginger, garlic and chili pepper are used to make a dipping sauce, which tastes really good. In previous years, I couldn't eat it a few times. Saying that, Wei Qian was indeed hungry. immediately took the red toon to the Doumu Temple, and picked a group of senior sisters to pick wild vegetables in the mountains.
This wild vegetable is old, and the taste is poor. According to Wei Qian's mouth, it must be a newly grown young leaf, not dug out by the roots, and only the newly pumped stems and leaves are used from the head. There are also a lot of mountain vegetables all over the mountains, otherwise it is impossible to gather more than a dozen vegetable leaves to eat. And these Taoist sisters all have cultivation, so they work fast.
Xuan Yun thought that the mountain mushrooms that she had just dried in the first half of the year had been concocted, so she nodded and said, "Then, Xuanyu took a few junior sisters to pick wild vegetables, and I will prepare noodles here, as for wild boar." โ
"I'll go!" Wei Qian reported herself bravely and took the initiative to change into a hunting outfit. Wei Fu stood with martial arts, Wei Yan didn't look down on those poems and paintings, and thought that women were virtuous if they were not talented, but they did not stop Wei Qian from riding horses and archery. In the past three years, seeing that Wei Qian's body is good, sometimes he takes her to his own station to have a look, so that Wei Qian has practiced good archery skills.
After several people summed up, they had the intention to surprise Lingyun and started to act one after another.
Hongchun was pushed by Wei Qian to Xuanyun's side to help make peace, obviously with the intention of letting Hongchun and Xuanyun have a good relationship, and when the time comes, someone will help to intercede and speak.
Wei Qian's mind was full of dumplings filled with wild boars, shuttling briskly through the forest, humming a song to find traces of wild boars.
However, the wild boar was not found, but a man was found by the river.
