Chapter 209: Punishment (3)
After a person dies, after the first sacrifice, and gets the money and goods of the first sacrifice, he must first go to one of the places in the underworld, and then return to the soul for the first seven times, confirm his address and remarks in the underworld, and report the address before receiving the previous and future worship items. After the first seven have passed, worship at the crossroads will be received. So from this point of view, it is useless for Sister Li, mother and daughter to burn paper at this crossroads.
What she said was instructed by the masters, and it was not far from ten, either this so-called master was cheating money or had ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, I asked Sister Li: "Sister Li, did the master you mentioned say that he wanted you to come here to worship for any reason?"
Sister Li looked at me suspiciously and said, "What, Xiao Liu, do you also know about this matter?"
I smiled and said, "I've heard about it, I don't know if Sister Li can talk about it." Because it is more dangerous for you to do so. After saying that, I walked up to the little girl, took out a red rope, and put it in her hand, ready for anything. The yin energy in this place is too heavy, and this little girl seems to be lacking in yang energy, so she brings a red rope on her body to protect herself from being violated.
Sister Li looked at the movements of my hands, nodded with a smile and said, "This matter is a long story."
In order to prevent the girl from seeing something that should not be seen, I drew an eye-sealing talisman on the little girl's heavenly spirit cover, and at the same time began to listen to Sister Li talk about their family.
Here's the thing, Sister Li's husband's surname is Huang. The couple started a company, which is almost equivalent to starting from scratch. The couple are very diligent, especially Mr. Huang, who only slept four or five hours a day when he first started preparing for the company, smoked and drank coffee to refresh himself when he was sleepy and tired, and often went out to drink and socialize in order to make the company run normally. Over time, the body has accumulated and become ill, but I don't know it.
Speaking of fate, they also live in Guangzhou and start a company in Guangzhou, that is to say, they also drove from Guangzhou in the starry night.
After three years of hard work, the couple finally had their own savings and used them to buy a house in the center of Guangzhou, but not long after they moved in, the good life did not start much. Mr. Huang's previous physical dangers began to be gradually exposed, and they came very violently.
When I went to the hospital for examination, it had become terminal cancer, and the doctor friend said that it was basically no surgery, and the family should be prepared.
The doctor was a good friend of the two of them, and in order to prevent them from continuing to spend money in vain, he recommended conservative treatment. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you will do it, and quietly wait for Mr. Huang to pass away.
But Sister Li can't accept this fact, even if she already knows that there is no way to return to the sky, but she still wants to insist and wait for a miracle to appear. She was ready to withdraw all the funds, and even the company wanted to transfer them, she was afraid that she would regret it in the future, and she did not do her best to seize that glimmer of hope. Since the legal person of the company is Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang's signature is required to transfer the company.
Although Mr. Huang is seriously ill, he is very sober, he knows that it is not easy to start a business, he doesn't want him to waste everything he has in exchange for health or even something, and he doesn't want his wife and children to have nothing to rely on in the future, at least to ensure their future life. So when Sister Li asked him to sign the transfer contract, he resolutely refused, saying that it was impossible for him to use his hard-earned money to do these meaningless things, so in the end, he forcibly asked to be discharged from the hospital. said that if you want to go home, even if you want to die, you have to leave home.
Sister Li couldn't convince Mr. Huang, so she could only go through the discharge procedures for him and take him back home for the most conservative treatment.
After returning home, Sister Li did not give up her ideas, and always said that she wanted to transfer the company and buy a house to treat him, but Mr. Huang resolutely opposed it every time, and secretly hid the real estate certificate.
After a few days at home, Sister Li became more and more anxious, and the more this disease dragged on, the more unlikely it became. So Sister Li took out the family's real estate certificate and began to prepare to forcibly change the seller to treat Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang was already terminally ill at that time, and he knew that it was impossible to treat this disease, but he didn't have much power to stop it, and after Sister Li fell asleep in the middle of the night, he actually turned back to his bedside table, took out the sleeping pills he had taken before, swallowed a lot of them, and finally left this world as he wished.
When Sister Li woke up the next day, seeing that Mr. Huang had left this world quietly, Sister Li finally couldn't stop the sadness in her heart and cried bitterly.
This incident happened a few days ago, looking at Sister Li's state, she should be almost acceptable to this fact, I have to admire her courage, and at the same time I am a little helpless about her choice, Mr. Huang's departure has become a foregone conclusion. If I were her, I wouldn't bother about this matter anymore, and I would accompany Mr. Huang through the last journey of my life. Of course, Sister Li is not wrong, but everyone's thoughts and opinions are biased. Some things don't mean that you won't regret it if you regret it later, just like Sister Li, she must regret even more now that she didn't accompany Mr. Huang through the last journey.
The old thing was brought up again, and she began to feel it again, and when she said this, she couldn't cry anymore. I quietly helped them finish burning the paper, no matter what the meaning of the paper burning, at least now it can be used as a sustenance for her.
I didn't bother her, and it wasn't until the paper was burned that she slowly calmed down again.
"Let's go, it's not very peaceful here, let's talk in another place." I said.
Sister Li nodded and said, "Then go to my car." "For me, a stranger who was inexplicably accosted at the intersection of the cemetery in the middle of the night, she didn't seem to have much resistance, maybe I was also worshipping, or maybe my sense of justice was too strong, so she let go of the resistance in her heart, and another is that she really needs something to divert her attention now.
Back on Sister Li's red car, Sister Li still couldn't be completely relieved, but lay on the steering wheel and choked quietly, looking particularly helpless. I sat in the passenger seat, looking very embarrassed, we didn't know each other, and although I knew her story, I still didn't know how to comfort her. The little girl sat quietly in the back seat, not saying a word.
After a few minutes, Sister Li raised her head. I asked, "Why did someone come to point you to burn money paper here after Mr. Huang's death?" In fact, I have wanted to ask this question for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to ask.
Sister Li took a deep breath and replied: "Actually, this is the case, on the first day after my husband died and was buried, he gave me a dream. It was because of that dream that I was very nervous, and then I found a master in Guangzhou, and that master explained the dream for me. He said that my husband died because he committed suicide, so he was going to be tortured in hell, and asked me to burn a little more paper money to give my husband so that he could take care of it below. Fight not to be punished. ”
I have only seen in a Buddhist book about the punishment for suicide in the underworld, saying that one of the eighteen levels of hell is called the hell of unpaid death, which belongs to the lower nine layers of hell.
Death in hell, you must know that it is not easy to come to this world as a human body, and it is the opportunity given to you by Lord Yama. If you don't cherish it, go to commit suicide, such as cutting the veins to death, taking poison, hanging to death, etc., to anger the Lord of Yama, and after death, you will be put in prison for death. Don't think about being a human again.
I have found a lot of Taoist sources to confirm the claim about this hell, but it seems that there is no basis, and it is probably just a more extreme statement used by Buddhism to persuade people to cherish life. However, some Taoist sources also mention that people who commit suicide and those who die for other reasons are treated differently after arriving in the underworld, and from this point of view, suicide is indeed not a good thing. Although it will not be immortal, it will definitely receive other punishments. Therefore, suicide is not a relief for people, don't think that death is a hundred over. I have the courage to commit suicide, and what else I don't have the courage to face
"So that master still instructed you to come to such a place to burn paper money," I continued.
Sister Li nodded and said, "Yes, he said that this is the only way for my husband's soul to go, so I have to burn it here for three days in a row." It burns for two hours a day, and only after 10 o'clock. ”
I don't understand this, Mr. Huang's soul is going to go from here, but why don't you just go to the grave and burn it, isn't that more direct?
I frowned and continued to ask, "Then why don't you go to the grave and burn it, and besides, if you don't pronounce the name when you burn the paper, how can he receive it?"
"Xiao Liu, is there anything wrong with this?" Sister Li asked me rhetorically.
I nodded and said sincerely, "I won't tell you, Sister Li, that's what I do." I still know a lot about ghosts and gods, so as far as I know, it makes no sense for you to burn paper and worship like this. ”
"How can it be like this, that master was introduced by a friend, how could he lie to my impossibility, this is impossible." Sister Li began to get anxious, this matter is a sustenance for her, if this sustenance is meaningless, then she will definitely not be able to accept it, she is already very sad in her heart, if she is played like this by her friends again, then she will be even more broken.
Of course, what she said also gave me a little skepticism, after all, I had only just met, and the credibility of acquaintances naturally could not be compared.
Hearing Sister Li say this, in fact, I can also understand that I didn't dwell on this matter with her anymore, I just said: "Let's not say whether the master lied to you, you can tell me first, what is the content of the dream that your husband entrusted you." Of course, if it's convenient, just talk about it, and forget about it if it's inconvenient. ”
Sister Li was stunned and said: "There is nothing inconvenient, you and I have never known each other in our lives, and it is a fate to meet here, my husband just appeared in my dream, so stunned and looked at me, without any expression on his face, I wanted to arrest him, but I couldn't catch it, I couldn't move at all." He didn't say anything, he didn't have any expression. Just look at me, look at me all the time. ”
"Is that all," I continued.
Sister Li said: "Yes, that's all, I don't know what my husband means, so the next day I went to my friend to discuss, and my friend recommended this master to me, and then the master came to my house to see." He said that the house was not haunted, but that my husband was not entangled enough, and asked me to burn more paper money for him, and said that since it was entangled, it could not be burned in front of the grave, but at the crossroads. I bought a trunk of paper money from him today, and I'm going to come over and burn it every night. ”
This is even more wrong, this is not the road money for Mr. Huang, but the road money for the surrounding wandering ghosts, could it be that the master is so kind to benefit this piece of wandering ghosts, even if it is for welfare, Sister Li should not be allowed to come, not to mention that they were introduced by friends.
"You said you bought your paper money from that master," I asked.
Sister Li nodded and said, "Well, yes, it's not cheap, but he said that it was opened and could reach my husband soon." ”
"Well, Sister Li, can you open the trunk and let me see the paper money" I said with a frown, probably having a guess in my heart.
Delivered on time at six o'clock, and I'll tell you something, that is, there are a lot of friends who have been asking Liu Dagger about it recently, so I'm going to prepare a new book, which is Liu Dagger's thing, so about the evening plus more, if there is no reward plus more, I will stop the second change first. But rest assured, the soul sending record will be guaranteed to be updated at least once a day. The new book about Liu Dagger will not affect the progress of the book. Thank you for the diamond of "qq151117112948". Say goodnight to the gentlemen in advance. Regarding the new book, I will dedicate a single chapter to it in the next few days. What I can say is that the new book is also very informative, and the plot is also worth watching, which will definitely not disappoint everyone.
