Seeing the ghost man slumped to the ground unresponsive, I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was the pastries with hemp ingredients that worked.

This is the first time that a creature like a ghost man has been quietly and vividly presented in front of several people, and the bones also lit up the bright flashlight on his head, and he slowly approached with courage.

The ghost man slept very dead, and the old man in the cloak said that this kind of cake could numb a lion with one piece, and now all three pieces have entered the ghost man's stomach, and it is estimated that it will have to sleep for a while before it can wake up.

I was worried that the ghost man would wake up suddenly, so I took the bald sapper shovel and followed it behind the bones, and if the ghost man really did anything, I just shoveled it out, so as not to disturb the other ghost people.

The bones were also very careful, leaned over and looked at it carefully, and only after making sure that the ghost man had completely failed to react did he start to move, turning it over and letting it lie flat on the ground, and then looked at it and suddenly called softly: "Lao Zhang, bald, come and see, how does this 'ghost man' look like an orangutan?" ”

I leaned over to take a look, and found that this ghost man was nearly three meters tall, with a nose, eyes, and eyebrows like a human, and except for some differences in size, all aspects of its body shape and limbs were exactly the same as those of a human. The bones are aptly described, the ghost man's face is bare and hairless, but the head and cheeks are covered with long black and white hair, which looks like an orangutan, but it is much larger than a normal orangutan.

Their eyes are small, with only a thin slit when closed, and their noses and ears are surprisingly large. The bald head rolled over the eyelids and mouth of the ghost man, and found that there was no pupil in the eyeball of this creature, and the whites of the eyes also turned black, the whole eyeball was extremely black, and there was no contraction reaction when the strong flashlight was directly hit, and it was obvious that they could not perceive the light source at all.

The ghost man's mouth was full of gradual fangs, and it was like a canine creature that gave birth to four long sharp fangs. The strong, fishy smell did not emanate from the oni's body, but from its mouth. When the bald head opened the ghost man's mouth, it exhaled with a breath of stench, which made my head dazed, squatted next to it and shook it a few times, and almost fell directly to the ground.

Turning my head to take a breath of normal air, I frowned and looked at the ghost man: "What kind of creature is this, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, and a large number of people live in such underground caves built by man. Bald, you have traveled all over the country and seen a lot, and you have never seen this kind of thing? ”

Bald head shaking head: "Actually, I feel that this thing is a group of gorillas, but the breed is different, they are bigger and more ferocious than ordinary orangutans, and they are not vegetarians." Since they live in this kind of man-made building, it means that they are ghosts that only exist in the first building, let's continue to walk inside, look for the cold woman, and see if we can find some other clues by the way.

The ancients had the habit of remembering things, and they were willing to record all strange things, either on paper or on the wall. If this is really an ancient temple or an ancient fight, maybe we can also find records of these ghosts. ”

The purpose of our visit is to save people, not to explore the origin of the ghost man, so the three of us didn't waste too much time on this ghost man. The bones took out their mobile phones and took a few photos, then took off the rope on their body and fixed it on the pillar at the edge of the platform, and the three people grabbed the rope and slid down one after another.

Coming down from the platform back to the first floor, we happened to be in the corner of this hall, in the middle of the hall sat a statue of five or six meters high, from the side it should be a person sitting cross-legged, wearing a gorgeous robe, with a fierce face, and holding a magic weapon in his hand.

The shape of the ritual vessel was a bit like a spoon, about two meters long, and there were seven grooves from the head of the spoon to the handle of the spoon, and a candle flame was placed inside the grooves. The fire burns unhurriedly and emitting a quiet green glow. The starry lights we saw outside the temple before were these seven candles!

There are also two huge bronze cages hanging on both sides of the statue at a height of three meters from the ground, the cages are not suspended in the air, but two platforms branching out from behind the statue, which look like left and right protectors, and the space in the cages is not too big or small. We couldn't see it above our heads, and when we looked diagonally to the other side, we could vaguely see that there seemed to be something lying on our stomachs in the cage, curled up in a ball, motionless.

Seeing the statue, the bone's face changed, and he knelt on the ground, folded his hands and kowtowed three times, and then stood up again, with a pious face.

I frowned: "Old bone, what kind of god is this, do you know?" ”

He shook his head: "I don't know, my father said, no matter where you are, you have to worship the gods and Buddhas when you meet them, so that they will bless us with a smooth journey ...... the next one."

"Old bone, you hurry up and put away that stinky problem. I finally asked those villagers who were chattering with gods, and now you are starting to stop again. Don't always listen to your father, there are some gods in this world that you can worship, and some gods you can't. For example, now, if you listen to the bald master to give you science popularization, you will definitely not worship in the future! ”

The bald head raised his head and let the flashlight focus on the fierce face of the statue: "Do you see the face of this statue, it looks ugly and fierce, it looks the same as the Lord of Hades, this is the god of the underground, and it is also the eldest brother in the underworld, called 'Tu Guangjun'." You all know the story of Lord Yama becoming a god, but you don't know what Lord Yama was like before he became a god.

There is a myth and legend here, which most people don't know, but I heard it from an old master who was nearly 100 years old. It is said that a long time ago, the world was chaotic, and there was a bully named Tu Guang who was rampant in the world, this Tu Guang was born with extraordinary divine power and martial arts, and no one in the world was his opponent. He is also an alternative, he likes to kill people if he doesn't grab things or land, and after a long time, he also kills Yin, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't kill people for a day.

He started killing from his own village, then to the border village, and finally to slaughtered a city in one day! And he also raised a vicious wolf, which he took with him for a long time, he kills, wolves eat people!

After going on like this for a while, Tu Guang's brutality finally angered the heavens, and the Emperor of Heaven personally subdued him, and then brought him back to the heavenly court to discuss with everyone how to punish such people.

Some people say that they will be directly executed, and some people say that they will be served by heavenly punishment, but everyone thinks that Tu Guang has killed thousands of living beings in the past few years, and these punishments are too light for him.

At this time, an old gentleman stepped forward to offer advice, saying that in recent years, because Tu Guang had killed too many people, the ghosts were full of ghosts and there was nowhere to go. It is better to send Tu Guang into the underworld, and let him arrange reincarnation for those ghosts who died unjustly in the underworld, which can be regarded as a severe punishment and a correction of merit, killing two birds with one stone.

At that time, the world only had Heaven and the Human World, and there was no place like the Yama Palace, and after death, it was also handled by the Heavenly Court. There are many people who have died, and the people of Heavenly Court are too busy. So the Emperor of Heaven nodded and agreed, named Tu Guang as Tu Guangjun, and went to the underworld to deal with the ghosts in the world, and made meritorious contributions with the crime. And the hungry wolf raised by Tu Guang did not escape, and was beaten into the underworld together, and became the later Diting Divine Beast. ”

Hearing this, I laughed softly: "I really haven't heard of your version of the mythical story, but since this underworld is occupied by Tu Guang, how did the Lord of Yama come later?" ”

The bald head continued: "The Emperor's will is to make Tu Guang the king of Tu Guang, and enter the underworld to deal with those killed by him one by one. After dealing with these people, even if he has atoned for his sins, he can be reincarnated and re-enter the world. Tu Guangjun also knew that he was deeply guilty, so he gladly accepted it, and spent nearly a hundred years to deal with all the ghosts killed by himself, and then asked the Emperor of Heaven to want to be reincarnated.

But at that time, the underworld has become an indispensable part, if Tu Guangjun is gone and no one takes over, then who will deal with the remaining ghosts. So the Emperor of Heaven told Tu Guangjun that you can reincarnate if you want to, but before that, you must find someone to take your place.

At this time, a person who committed a heinous crime came to the underworld, he killed nearly 100 people because of revenge, and according to the criminal law at that time, he should have gone through 9981 tortures and then entered the furnace of flames. Tu Guangjun rescued him, and did not let him lose his soul but accepted him as his apprentice, on the condition that he would be allowed to manage the underworld, so that the Emperor of Heaven could let him go to reincarnation.

This person is the king of Yama, who would rather stay in the underworld for the rest of his life than be scattered, so he replaced Tu Guangjun in this way.

In fact, the original name of the underworld was Tu Slaughter Palace, because Tu Guangjun and Lord Yama both relied on killing and brutality to take charge of the underworld, so the old people felt that this story was easy to teach future generations to think that evil was also correct. So he renamed the Slaughter Hall to the Yama Palace, and when telling myths and stories to the children, he directly started with the Lord of Yama, and the identity of the Lord of Yama also became the god and settled in the underworld. ”
