Chapter 13: Circulation
Xiuxiu also found that Xu Ziming was looking at herself, she hurriedly lowered her eyelids, staring at a somewhat blackened blood stain on the ground, motionless.
For some reason, her strange appearance made Xu Ziming a little panicked, so he stepped forward and wanted to find Cheng Muyou to express his doubts. But before he could speak, the door of the house was pushed open, Jiang Xixi stepped into the house, walked quickly to Cheng Muyou's side, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I just heard those villagers talk about it, saying that Xing Guojun's family in the neighboring village is missing, and all three of them are gone, I don't know where they went, and Xing Guojun is also a person who has come back from the dead." ”
Cheng Muyou lowered his eyes, but a bright light flashed in the corner of his eye, he glanced at Jin Chen and Xiuxiu again, suddenly turned around, and walked out of the door with his back hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Xixi and Xu Ziming hurriedly followed, Cheng Muyou motioned to Xu Ziming to close the door, and then lowered his voice and said to the two, "You two are staying at the Jin family, I will go back in a while, and I will send a few more people to ambush you outside, remember, you must always be cautious, be careful in everything, and do not act rashly." ”
"My lord still thinks there is something wrong with this couple?" Jiang Xixi looked up at him.
A sneer overflowed Cheng Muyou's lips, "Something?" More than? The two of them are each with their own ghosts, and you two stay here and find out that ghost fetus for me. ”

As dusk fades and the night begins to spread, the long streets become sparsely populated with pedestrians, and everyone wants to rush home before the last rays of the setting sun fade away.
Cheng Muyou has been wandering on the South Street for a long time, and now, he finally saw the figure of the old rickety, she was still the same as last time, curled up in a corner, in front of the flag that had been half broken, on the long flag, the word "hexagram" was dyed golden by the setting sun, as if waving at him.
He walked over to the flag, sat down on the old bench again, and looked up at the old woman in front of him. At this moment, she was casually rubbing the three coins in her palm, turning them over and over again.
"My lord, don't you don't believe in the old body, why did you come back again?" After a while, she put the three copper coins on the ground in turn, looked up at Cheng Muyou, and met his gaze in mid-air.
"Can you really count the aftermath?" Cheng Muyou looked at the eyes that were deeply wrinkled and said bluntly.
"Whose aftermath do you want to ask?" The old woman had an imperceptible smile on her lips, but her face remained calm.
"Someone has come back, they have been dead for a few years, but they came back a few days ago, if you want to understand the reason for their return, you have to find out what happened to them in the years since they died?"
The old woman smiled faintly, "After the soul leaves the body, it will pass through Huangquan Road and come to Wangxiangtai, as the saying goes, 'Once you arrive at Wangxiangtai, you can't return to your hometown from afar.'" 'Wangxiangtai is a high stone platform, gloomy and bright, and when you walk to Wangxiangtai, there is almost no possibility of resurrection. Wangxiangtai is the great compassion of Guanyin Bodhisattva who sympathizes with all sentient beings and does not want to die, and misses the true feelings of relatives at home. Let the soul of the deceased stand on the lookout platform to take a last look at his hometown and his relatives. ”
Cheng Muyou thought for a long time, and said softly, "Then out of Wangxiangtai, the living soul is the dead soul?" ”
"When you get off the lookout platform and go all the way, you can hear bursts of dog barking, like thunder, which seems to be able to shake the sky. Walking half a mile, you can see more than 100 vicious dogs, in groups of three or five, with fierce eyes, full of steel teeth, and when they see the souls of all walks of life, they bite mercilessly, and refuse to let go without tearing off their legs and feet. Go down further, you will arrive at Jinji Mountain, as soon as you enter Jinji Mountain, a group of cocks with bristles will pounce on you, the iron beak is better than the vultures, they peck the eyes of the soul, the sharp claws are like a soul hook, a claw can make the skin of the dead soul open the flesh, the liver and gallbladder are cracked. ”
"After these two passes, the living soul will really become a dead soul, that is, at this moment, it is the real human and ghost different paths, yin and yang are forever separated......"
Speaking of this, the old woman glanced at Cheng Muyou with a slight smile on her face, and said lightly, "Of course, what the old man just said are guilty people, if it is an upright person and an innocent soul who died tragically in life, he will not experience the Evil Dog Ridge and Jinji Mountain, but will come directly to the next stop, which is what we often call the Netherworld." ”
"When you come to the underworld, what will happen next?" Cheng Muyou asked.
"After the first seven days, the dead soul will go from hall to hall in the underworld, and from hall to hall, the wicked and the good will get the retribution they deserve. When the dust settled, we continued to move forward, and we came to the second gate of the Yin Cao, and there were two lamps by the door, one bright and one dark. If you want to return to the sun, you must walk on the road of bright lights. This light road is the road of reincarnation and reincarnation. ”
"After walking the path of returning to the soul, we arrived at the Soul Restoration Cliff, there is a stone bridge on the side of the cliff, and there are four bridge protection beasts sitting at both ends of the bridge. On the bridge, there will be an old woman holding tea for the ghosts of the past to drink, this old woman is the god of Meng Po, this tea is Meng Po soup, drink this soup and forget the grievances and hatreds of the previous life, right and wrong, reincarnation everywhere. ”
After speaking, she cleared her throat, "My lord, the death soul is actually the same as the living, death is not the end, but another beginning, life and death, in fact, is a circle, each of us is trapped in this circle, whether it is the emperor or the general, or the common people, no one can escape." ”
"Since it's a circle, it should go back and forth, but why do some people go halfway and go back again?" The mist between Cheng Mu's eyebrows became thicker and thicker.
"Rewind?" The old woman grinned sadly, "In order to seek immortality, the first emperor sent people to the sea to look for medicine, and searched for more than ten years, but in the end it was unsuccessful. After returning from the Liaodong Campaign, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent people from Zhongtianzhu to seek Fang Shi Na Luo Er to sleep, which caused his condition to deteriorate, and he died in Hanfeng Hall in the 23rd year of Zhenguan. My lord, do you think that what neither of them can do, ordinary people can do? ”
Cheng Muyou approached her, his eyes were blazing, and he said word by word, "But mother-in-law, those two people are indeed back, I have seen it with my own eyes, and there is no lie." ”
The old woman raised her head and looked at the word "hexagram" on the flag, and a little light gathered in her vicissitudes of life, "The person is back, but is it still that person who came back?" ”(https:)
