Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ganlin
The underworld, the Yin Mountain.
The whole sky was dark and oppressive.
The wind whistled and swirled, with a ghostly wail.
The filthy rain, thick as oil, rained continuously all day long.
He stepped on a stone as hard as iron and staggered along the difficult mountain path.
A ghost, dressed in a gray-white prison uniform and with his hair scattered, and his eyes were blank, pushing a cart full of heavy ore step by step, along the muddy and slippery road, in the rattling rain curtain, slowly moving.
In the distance, the silhouette of a tall city can be seen.
This is in the underworld, on the third layer, where the ghost city of Yinshan is located.
However, most of the ghosts who did not create many evils in their lifetime, but their own blessings were shallow, and they had no merits, were first escorted here to serve in labor, collect the mines of the dark iron, and build roads and carry them.
When the sentence expires and the retribution is paid off, you can change into new clothes, live in the ghost town of Yinshan, and continue to live after death as an ordinary ghost under the rule of Yinshan Jun.
Lin Zhixuan was in a mess, wearing an off-white prison uniform, carrying a piece of ore with difficulty, placing it heavily on the board car, and then leaning on the edge of the car to gasp slightly.
There is a gravitational attraction in the underworld, which absorbs ghosts and ghosts, so that its form does not disperse, just like a living person in the yang world.
It is precisely because of this that some mortal ghosts can barely maintain their human form and barely shape a ghost body, but they also have the pain of a human body.
All kinds of pain and joy arise in oneself, and with a ghost body, there is naturally pain and sorrow.
This Yinshan labor is a place specially set up for mortal ghosts to serve their sentences.
Lin Zhixuan has been directly sent here since he entered the underworld, and he has been doing this hard labor all day long, and he cannot be liberated.
Fortunately, when he was in the Yang world, he also had a reputation for cultivating qi refining for several years.
I don't dare to say how many foundations there are, but the soul body is also stronger than other ghosts, and I persevered for a while.
Calculating the time, more than ten years have passed in the Yang world, and he has been in this Yin Mountain for fifty-seven years, and his service period is coming to an end.
Soon, at the end of the calamity, he is an innocent soul, and the future is promising, even if he finds an errand in this Yin Mountain, it is also possible.
This yin karma is not really judged by ghosts and gods.
During his lifetime, the city gods and lands in various places were judged according to their respective priesthoods.
After death, all ghosts must first be sent by ghosts to the spiritual realm of the city god and the land, stamp the customs clearance documents, and then wait for the ghost gate to pass, and then clear the customs from it, and then according to the good deeds and retribution before death, they are attracted by the layers of the underworld and fall into it.
In this world, the underworld has its own set of laws to operate, and according to the various things created before life, it will arrange its own fate after death.
The shallow underworld is close to the Yang world, and it is almost equivalent to the Yang world in terms of law and shape.
The soul with less retribution for iniquity and more good deeds is hard in it, but it is still a good place to go in the end.
The deep underworld is far away from the yang world, and it is completely different from the world when it comes to the landform and rules, and all kinds of upside-down and absurd things happen during the period.
Where ghosts and souls fall into it, it is difficult to maintain their form, and because of the conflict of various laws, there are many dangerous places here, and if one accidentally encounters it, it will be scattered and completely extinguished.
The retribution of iniquity is deep, the sins are monstrous, and those who have cultivated great supernatural powers during their lifetime, without exception, will fall under the eighteen layers of underworld, and there is almost no period of life and separation from such suffering.
No matter how great the supernatural powers are in life, as long as you have not cultivated into a yang god, it will be difficult to maintain your sanity here, and you will not be able to comprehend the Tao nature, and you will not be able to survive for a long time.
And if you want to escape from the underworld below the eighteenth layer, you must thoroughly understand the Heavenly Immortal Dao before you can hope to transcend
Lin Zhixuan did not commit any major crimes during his lifetime, and there were few retributions for his sins, but he also died early, and he did not have many good deeds, so he did not have much preferential treatment.
After resting for a while, he bent down, picked a piece of ore that was not too heavy, and laboriously carried it to the car.
Looking around, there was a group of ghosts with faces like wax paper and numb eyes, moving mechanically, and no one paid any attention to him.
"I wish I could have lived a few more years and done more good deeds, so that life after death would not be so difficult."
He let out a long sigh and almost burst into tears.
Even if he is blatantly lazy at the moment, there is no ghost supervision around.
These ghosts can have as clear and intelligent as him, and there is not one in a thousand.
It's not that he hasn't thought of escaping all these years, but he has no hope at all.
Near Yin Mountain, it is a safe place to serve, and there are Yin soldiers patrolling back and forth, and ghosts who serve during the shelter period.
However, beyond Yinshan, is it the paradise of freedom?
To escape from this place is to be free?
Overthrowing Yinshan is democracy?
It's just delusional······· There is no such thing as a free and democratic country, whether in life or after death.
In the underworld, there are dangers everywhere, and he is a little mortal ghost, and he can't go anywhere.
Not to mention anything else, this Yin Mountain is more than a thousand feet high and stretches for thousands of miles, how can it be easily climbed?
It's better to serve honestly, practice hard, and after atoning for your sins, you can enter the ghost town to live, and then find one or two serious errands, which is also a way out.
After resting for a while, he was about to continue working, when suddenly, his body shook and he froze in place.
There was a roar in my ears, like thunder.
Thousands of white and golden stars popped up in front of me.
For a moment, he was almost unsteady on his feet.
The gloomy and dull sky of the underworld shone a white light that shrouded him straight in it.
The blinding light is so bright that I can barely open my eyes.
I felt the warmth after a long time, and the whole person seemed to be soaked in warm water, and the whole body was comfortable.
Lin Zhixuan closed his eyes and burst into tears.
In the beam, the raindrops of beans were still dripping, but gradually turned into heavy rain.
Feeling the clean rain on his back, he stretched out his hand, took a handful, and drank it empty.
The rain was clear and sweet, and after being washed by the rain, his soul was more stable, and all the filth was washed away.
The prison uniform melted into the light and was replaced with a new layer of clean and tidy clothes.
Under the light of this rain and white light, wisps of black qi intermittently emerged from his soul body, and then were washed down.
It was his own sin, and as he served for many years, there was not much left of it.
It has now been completely eradicated.
Lin Zhixuan felt a burst of relief, as if he had taken off some kind of restraint, and his whole body became lighter.
There were also many suffering ghosts around, instinctively approaching and reaching out to touch the rare light and warmth.
However, as soon as it touched the light, it suddenly felt like sulfuric acid meeting water, and it rattled, and the soul body emitted green smoke, as if it had been burned by ordinary people.
The unspeakable pain caused the group of ghosts to roar and retreat.
"My sweet rain, his poisonous rain."
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhixuan felt something in his heart and sighed:
"This is the future generations of my family, so that the ancestors can be illuminated."
"You are not the ancestors of my family, but you cannot enjoy this blessing."
Many of the suffering ghosts around him are mourning and weeping.
However, he never dared to come near again.
Soon, the beams of light began to recede, and the rain became scarce.
The last light and rain did not dissipate, but turned into a faint milky white light, covering Lin Zhixuan's body.
The surrounding ghosts no longer dared to approach him.
Although they had lost their minds, they still had the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and were afraid of the shallow white light on him.
washed away all the sins for a while, but Lin Zhixuan didn't know what to do next.
In the past, he stayed in this Yin Mountain to mine, and occasionally saw the ghost.
It's just a quick glance, and I can't talk at all.
Outside of Yin Mountain, I only know that there is a ghost town, and there are many ghosts living in it.
Just as Lin Zhixuan was hesitating, a few ghost horses with black smoke on their feet in the distance arrived at a trot, and a Yin soldier led by him shouted:
"Is that Lin Zhixuan over there?"
Lin Zhixuan replied:
"It's me."
This Yin soldier has a little bit of light on his body like Lin Zhengyang, but it is a blood-like light, with a heavy evil aura, and he knows at first sight that he is a veteran who has fought on the battlefield.
The Yin soldier led by him looked up and down, took out the official document and portrait, and compared them before nodding with satisfaction and saying:
"The son you gave birth to is good, now he has achieved cultivation, he is already a first-class person of ghosts and immortals, and now he has shaped the spiritual realm, and the official document has been passed on to the realm of ghosts and gods, according to the law of Yinsi, it can bless the two generations of ancestors in the underworld."
The Yin Soldier Commander smiled:
"Your wife, your parents have been found, and now you are alone!"
"Yinshan Jun has an order, I want to add you as the official of Yinshan, and quickly follow me to meet Youshang!"
Lin Zhixuan's heart was hot, this was the first time he had heard of the news of the Yang World.
"I don't want Yang'er to be so angry········ He can have this ability, and I don't know how much hardship he has endured in exchange for it! ”
"I'm a father, I really can't stand him······· Alas! ”
The Yin soldier urged again and again before he got on his horse.
Several black horses stepped on the black smoke, galloping, heading into the distance, gradually turning into black shadows.
