There is a path on the left side of the Yama Hall until you reach the end, and you will see a stone altar with the words "Reincarnation Altar" written on the stone pillar in front of the altar, and it is impossible to start reincarnation without the consent of Hades. And on the right side of the main hall, there is a river of blood gathered called the Lechuan River, and a bone bridge built of pure bones is established on the river, saying: Nahe. The bridge is 100 meters long and 8 meters, and after crossing the bridge, you will see a dilapidated thatched hut and the black soil in front of the house. There is a steep slope behind the thatched hut, and after walking about 50 steps, you can see a large green stone with the words "Wangsheng Stone".

【Famous Star of the Netherworld】

Hades ruling: The lord of the underworld decides the life and death of the world, whether it is reincarnation.

Jizo Bodhisattva: The only deity who has stayed in the underworld for a long time, once vowed: "Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, all sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven."

Ghost King Zijun: The younger brother of the King of Hades, it is rumored that he often roams the Netherworld, and when he sees a wandering suffering soul, he uses the reincarnation disk to make a judgment, which is of great help to his brother. At the same time, if the emperor in the world iterates on the dynasty and corrupts the world, causing poison in the world, the ghost king Zijun will become a generation of heroes by throwing the soul of the Shura Dao into the world. In order to hasten the end of troubled times.

Judge Zhong Kui: handsome, gentle and elegant, holding a merit book in his left hand and a judge's pen in his right hand, he is good at judging unsolved cases before his death. (What is an unsolved case? It is the compatibility of good and evil, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong: for example, after watching a thief steal, he falls into the water but does not save him, and he takes the money stolen by the thief and does not return it, but uses the money to repair bridges and pave roads..... ) is Hades' right-hand man.

The four famous catches of the underworld:

If the deceased is a man, the black soul envoy will first separate his soul, and then the white soul envoy will arrest the yang soul.

If the deceased is a woman, there will be a white soul envoy to separate her soul, and then the black soul envoy will arrest the yin soul.

Ghost envoy three, horse face, and bull head are sworn brothers, good at capturing the soul of birds.

Ghost envoy four, bull head, and horse face are also a powerful combination, good at capturing the soul of beasts.

Forgotten Meng Po: A withered and thin old woman carrying a large cloth bag embroidered with a large "Meng" character. However, it seems that he should have been in the year of the sixtieth year, and Jiang He later greeted the old man when he was visiting the Difu, but she had forgotten her name, so Jiang He called her "Granny Meng". He lives in a thatched hut in the underground, and there is a piece of black soil in front of the house, planted with amnesia grass, a plant cultivated by the old man himself, which is irrigated by the Lechuan River. It brews a soup of lost souls that can make the soul before reincarnation forget the horrors of what they saw in the Netherworld. (Later, when Meng Po herself was thirsty, she mistakenly drank the Lost Soul Soup and forgot her name!) )

【Six Paths of Reincarnation】

Heavenly Dao: If the world's great benevolence, benevolence, and compassion are superbly purified by the Earthly Tibetan Bodhisattva, the soul can break away from samsara and enter the Heavenly Dao.

Humanity: When a person lives in this world, without any great sin or great virtue, he is reborn as a human being through the reincarnation platform, and he needs to drink Meng Po soup before rebirth, so that he can re-judge good and evil in the next life. (Note: Animals can be humanized after death if they behave well during their lifetime.) )

Shura Dao: There are both great sins and can save sentient beings, and the ghost king Zijun will decide whether to enter the Shura Dao. Gu Yun: Holding the Shura knife, the Dharma field proves Bodhi, even if the rain falls, it must be accompanied by thunder.

Beast Dao: Mediocre beasts are still beasts after death, well, with new partners joining! They were once guilty, but they are not enough to be angry.

Hungry Ghost Road: The sin is unforgivable, but the extenuating people will be tempered for thousands of years in the Hungry Ghost Road, where the heat is unbearable, the air is turbid, there is no food, there is not a drop of water, and what you feel is a real dry mouth and unbearable hunger. Even if you just want to satisfy your hunger by drawing cakes, the refreshing thought of wishing to quench your thirst is like a fool's dream in the Hungry Ghost Dao.

After a thousand years, congratulations on being able to leave the hungry ghost path and enter the beast path. (Narrator: It's a great blessing to be able to eat grass!Hey, that kid!!How can you waste food?)

Hell Path: Those who have committed great crimes, are inhumane, have lost their conscience, are heinous, and have a lot of unforgivable people, enjoy the hell experience: start from the eighteenth layer of hell, move to the seventeenth floor after 10,000 years, move to the sixteenth floor after 10,000 years, and so on until the first layer of hell is 10,000 years old, congratulations can leave the hell path and enter the hungry ghost path.

Extra: The Mystery of Life

Jiang He: "Ahem, Lord Hades, I made a cameo appearance as a reporter today, mainly to make a small documentary on the length of life in the world. ”

Hades stroked the tiger's whiskers and smiled, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Jiang He: "According to the records of your published "Complete Works of Life in the Netherworld", good people can prolong their lives, but those who commit the most evil should cut their lives.

Hades smiled heartily, and his voice was like thunder: "The life span of people is born with it, the length is different, coupled with the influence of the acquired environment and the good and evil in their own hearts, the good and evil that lead to the behavior will affect their lifespan, it's a long story~ This starts from ancient life, a long, long ......time ago."

Jiang He (full of black lines~): "Ah! Lord Hades, let's make a long story short!"

Hades: "Well, to put it simply, 'good people don't live long, bad people live and die' is a small probability event. First of all, let's talk about conventional events, that is, a lifetime, bumps and bumps are inevitably a little unsatisfactory, these will greatly affect people's views and attitudes towards the outside world, such people are good and evil, according to the size of cause and effect good and evil cancel each other, it is not difficult to see his personality, generally I will evaluate what this person did in the first half of his life. For example, if a person can live to be sixty years old, when he is thirty years old, I will let the earth judge (Zhong Kui raised the brush in his hand behind the back of the king of Hades) through the merit book, to see whether the good is greater than the evil in the first half of his life, or the evil is greater than the good, to decide whether to increase his life, or to fold his life, and when his life is over, and then according to the good and evil in the second half of his life, to determine the life span of the next life. And the new round of birth already has a fixed destiny, and the good and evil are added to this life according to the actions of the previous life. ”

Looking at Jiang He's confused look, Hades explained: " As far as the previous person is concerned, he can live to be sixty years old, and he performed well in the first half of his life, and I added five years of yang life to him, but in the next thirty-five years, in general, there are more evil and less good, so when he is reincarnated, if he is only forty years old when he is reincarnated, because he has done more bad things in his previous life, and deducts his yang life for twenty years, then even if he behaves well before the first ten years of this life, I will add seven more years to him, and he will have to return here at the age of twenty-seven, and then make up for the next round of rebirth according to the kindness of his life. ”

Jiang He suddenly realized: "So it is possible to cause a lot of good things to be done in the previous life, plus thirty years to the next life, and just meet and meet a heavy life personality for a long time, such as seventy years, then theoretically he can live to be one hundred years old, but in this life, bad things are done, and he can still live to be ninety years old after deducting ten years of time in the first half of his life......"

Seeing that this stupid student had finally opened his mind, Hades smiled heartily again: "That's right." And 'good people don't live long, bad people live and die' is just that the world doesn't understand the rules of the underworld. ”

Jiang He nodded: "Lord Hades, is it the same situation about the birth of a baby, who died while still babbling?"

Hades nodded in acquiescence.

Jiang He: "In this way, people will not enter an infinite life cycle system and will not be able to extricate themselves. ”

Hearing this, the king of Hades shook his head lightly: "No, if a person is reincarnated nine times in a row, no matter what the situation or what kind of environment, he can rely on his soul instinct to adhere to the good heart, then he will break through the suffering of reincarnation, and the Jizo Bodhisattva will help him enter the heavenly path and rank in the immortal class." Hades paused: "And if a person is guilty of heinous sins in two consecutive lives, then, in the third life, I will not reduce his lifespan, but will make up for it by ten years." ”

Looking at the shocked river, Hades explained, "Don't be surprised, this is an overdraft of life, a test before severe punishment. In the last third life, if he can restrain himself and change his ways, then he will devote himself to the animal path, and if he is still unforgivable and obsessed. Then what he will enter is the Hellway. ”

Jiang He nodded in understanding.

Hades: "Of course, there is another situation, through various ways to change one's life, you may also avoid death and get out of samsara, and you are one of them. ”

Jiang He pointed to himself and asked curiously, "I? I don't know what to change my life against." ”

Hades: "You have been to the fairy world, eaten the elixir, and tasted the peach, these are enough for you to transcend the boundaries of ordinary people's lives, and the book of life and death will automatically adjust your life for you." Fortunately, you are good by nature, and you are assisted by many immortals, which is also a blessing for the world. Some people change their lives against the sky, suck people's souls for their own use, and turn into the demon world, I have nothing to do, but when the evil power in my heart breaks through to a certain height, it will cause a catastrophe, and when the tribulation fails, what awaits him will be a cruel purgatory. ”

Jiang He: "What will happen if the tribulation is successful?"

Hades shook his head: "The Heavenly Tribulation is not so easy to cross, if the Tribulation is successful, then there will be one more Demon Lord in the world, and there will be one more disaster in the human world." ”

Jiang He: "Okay, thank you very much Lord Hades for actively cooperating with this interview, so that many mysteries of life can be revealed. I believe that with a deeper understanding of life, the flower of life will bloom more and more beautifully. ”

After the reply, the applause of the underworld was thunderous and enduring.
