Chapter 536: Black and White Impermanence
Difu, this place that controls life and death in folklore, is also a terrifying place, after all, both people and gods are afraid of death, and no one wants to go to the underworld, so the underworld is shaped very terrifying, what to dig the liver and dig out the heart, cut off the head and chop the hands are all trivial, and the terrible punishment and the oil pot on the knife mountain are the extremes of mortals' fear of the underworld.
It is not a simple matter to enter this place of the underworld, because the underworld is full of ghosts, even if it is the king of Hades, it is only a ghost immortal, and it is easy for him to come to the mortal world, after all, people and ghosts have different paths, most of the ghosts will be caught in the underworld, and a small number will stay in the mortal world, of course, there are various reasons, no one can say.
Wang Xiaonian really didn't know about going to the underworld, because he had never been there, but it was not a troublesome thing to go to the underworld, just find a ghost, it was best to find a ghost, it was best to have just died, their souls had not left the body, and the underworld would send black and white impermanence to catch these ghosts and prevent them from staying in the world.
This matter is not too easy for Wang Xiaonian and Nie Xiaoqian, soon, they found a family in the city, it was a big family, the old man of the family died, how he died, Wang Xiaonian didn't know, he didn't care, after all, he didn't know how many people died every day in this world, what he needed to care about was how to keep up with the impermanence of black and white to go to the underworld.
Pulling Nie Xiaoqian, the two of them were suspended in the sky above the family, and now it was the middle of the night, the yin qi was the heaviest at this time, and the funeral of this big family was also very grand, many people were crying, it seems that this family's filial piety is not bad, they cried miserably, but the two people in the sky did not have any feeling, they were waiting for black and white impermanence.
"Childe's method is not the best to use, will the black and white impermanence come, this old man has been dead for three days, I see that his soul is about to leave the body, if the black and white impermanence does not come, I am afraid he will become a ghost, and I don't know if it will be a good ghost or an evil ghost at that time." Nie Xiaoqian said a little anxiously.
Although she used to be a ghost, in their world, the underworld has collapsed, and so many ghosts roam in the world and no one cares, so she doesn't know what black and white impermanence looks like and what the underworld looks like.
Looking at the ignorant soul suspended above the old man's body, Wang Xiaonian knew that as long as he left the body, he would become a ghost and have consciousness, and the body began to die after the person died.
"It's definitely coming, I just don't know if it's the first few days, but it seems that this funeral is nearing the end, and I think the black and white impermanence should also come, otherwise people are buried, and the soul has become a ghost, he wanders around, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch it when the time comes, and the black and white impermanence will not do that kind of thankless work." Wang Xiaonian said with great certainty.
Late at night, the children and grandchildren of the dead old man are also tired, only those monks are chanting, the others are sleepy, can only lean on the side of the mourning hall to sleep for a while, this ancient funeral is very test of the endurance of the descendants, it is said that the old man worked hard during his lifetime, so when dealing with the old man's death, the descendants also need to work hard.
A breeze blew, making people feel cool, Wang Xiaonian immediately looked towards the west, and said softly to Nie Xiaoqian, "It's here!" ”
Sure enough, after a while, the temperature around seemed to drop several degrees, and I saw two faint figures appear at the door of this family, one black and one white, and they were still holding a special weapon in their hands, just like a farmer's sickle, Wang Xiaonian knew that it was a soul hooking sickle, which was specially used to hook the souls of these people.
Soon, the two figures entered the door of the family, no one in the family saw it, they easily entered the mourning hall, they looked at the old man lying in the coffin, only to see Bai Wuchang took out a pale yellow book from his arms, as if he was looking at something, after a while, they seemed to be sure, and then Hei Wuchang took the soul hook sickle and hooked it against the old man's soul, and it only took one moment, the old man's soul was hooked out.
"What Bai Wuchang is holding in his hand must be the book of life and death, but it should be a copy, the book of life and death has mastered all the treasures of life and death of mortals and some monsters in the world, and it will not be taken out like this, but they want to check whether that person should die or not, and they need this copy." Wang Xiaonian said silently.
The soul scythe hooked the old man's soul out, and the soul swayed, as if he was drunk, obviously the man's soul was still confused, but after a while, the soul seemed to finally adapt to the surrounding environment, looked around, and looked at the black and white impermanence, and was startled.
"Wang Shiren, a native of Luocheng, Hejian Mansion in the Tang Kingdom, is seventy-five years old, you are now at the end of your life, now come back to the underworld with us." The black and white impermanence didn't seem to be in a hurry, and read out to the old man named Wang Shiren why he would die.
The old man Wang Shiren naturally couldn't believe it, he shouted, turned around and wanted to run, after all, no one wants to die, but he ran before he took two steps before he fell to the ground, it turned out that he didn't know when a black chain had been put on his neck, which came out of the soul scythe.
"Don't run, you're dead, it's impossible to run away, go back to the underworld." After saying that, Hei Impermanence pulled the chain and pulled the soul of Wang Shiren and walked outside.
But who wants to believe that he is dead, he began to struggle desperately, shouting, "Don't, don't, I don't want to go to the underworld, I'm not dead, you must be kidnappers, hurry, someone save me, boss, Lao'er, and Mi'er, you hurry up and save me." ”
He shouted loudly, trying to attract the attention of the descendants who were sleeping on their knees, but he was a ghost, there was no special possibility, and it was impossible for the living to hear his voice, so no matter how loud he shouted, none of his sons and grandchildren heard it, and he still knelt there, and he was led by the black impermanence and walked outside, and there was no room for resistance at all.
"It turns out that black and white impermanence is so seductive, it's very simple, these ghosts don't have the ability to resist." Nie Xiaoqian looked at it with relish, he was obviously also interested in these things.
patted Nie Xiaoqian's head, "Don't look at it, we should follow, otherwise we won't know how to get to the underworld when they go away." ”
