Chapter 51: A Visit to the Underworld

At this moment, I was so happy that I wanted to cry, and I didn't know where to put my hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"What are you doing there, let's go!" Bai Wuchang shook the mourning stick in his hand and said.

"Seventh Master, Eighth Master, wait a while, I'll come!"

After saying that, I immediately lay down on the bed and covered the quilt, turned off the light, and recited a few incantations, and my soul was detached from my body.

In order to prevent other ghosts from trying to occupy the magpie's nest while my soul was not in my body, I arranged a ten-sided locking spirit array in the room, and after doing this, I left with the two ghosts of black and white impermanence.

Silently following behind the two ghosts of black and white impermanence, my heart was apprehensive, after all, I only heard about the place of the underworld from myths and legends. In the past, I was skeptical, because no one had any definite evidence to prove that the underworld was real! If it weren't for the fact that I was exposed to Taoism, and later encountered so many bizarre things, and even the legendary ghosts of the underworld stood in front of me, I am afraid that the underworld is real by now.

The underworld is the final destination and starting place of all living beings. Under normal circumstances, after the end of a life, he will be led to the underworld by the ghost, and then the good and evil of his life will be concluded!

followed the two ghosts to slowly leave the town and came to the wilderness, the surroundings were gloomy, and even the bright moon in the sky was covered with a layer of miserable blue, which made people's hearts depressed. There seemed to be an attraction in the darkness that led me towards a place where the soul would belong.

I don't know how long it took for an ancient city gate to appear in front of me, although the gate was very tall, but it gave people a sense of oppression and gloom, it felt like a beast with its mouth open and lurking there. And directly above the city gate, there are three traditional characters written in a dragon and snake - "Ghost Gate Pass".

There were sixteen Yin soldiers guarding outside the Ghost Gate, strictly checking the lives of the souls who were going to enter the Ghost Gate, but they were not embarrassed after seeing the impermanence of black and white, and let us enter the Ghost Gate.

Behind the Ghost Gate is a path no more than two meters wide, and both sides of the path are full of red flowers that can only see flowers but no leaves, and the flowers in full bloom seem to be stained red with blood, making the whole road seem to be paved with a blood-colored carpet.

The name of the road is called Huangquan Road, and the flowers that bloom next to Huangquan Road are the flowers of the other side, and the legend is that it is a couple who love and cherish each other. Because the two violated the rules of heaven and met privately, they were cursed by heaven to turn into the leaves and flowers of the flowers on the other side. The other side flower does not see a single leaf when it blooms, and does not see a single flower when it has long leaves. It can be said that the flowers and leaves are born and lost, and they will never lose each other.

At the end of Huangquan Road, there is a Lechuan River, the river is blood-yellow, and it is densely packed with evil spirits and evil ghosts. There is a Nai He bridge on the surface of the Lechuan River, there is a cyan stone on the left side of the bridge, and two divine patterns divide it into three sections, called Sansheng Stone.

The words on the stone body are bright red as blood, and the top is engraved with the four big characters of "early landing on the other side", which records everyone's past, present and future lives. The causes of the past life, the fruit of this life, the reincarnation of fate, and the origin and extinction of the fate are all heavily engraved on the three-life stone. For thousands of years, it has witnessed the pain and joy, sorrow and joy, laughter and tears of all living beings, the debts that should be paid, the love that should be repaid, and the three lives of the stone.

There is a high platform on the right side of the bridge, and there is a woman next to it who distributes soup to the ghosts who cross the bridge. The name of this platform is Wangxiang Terrace, which is the earth high platform where Meng Po and the stone are located.

Wangxiangtai is also known as "Homesick Ridge", here, you can take the stage to look at the situation in the Yang family, so it has become a window for ghosts to look at the sun and a holy place for the living and the dead to contact their feelings.

After death, it can be said that "one day without eating the world's food, two days to cross the yin and yang realm, three days to reach the Wangxiang Terrace, see relatives crying and mourning." ā€

Before the ghosts went to report to the underworld, they were very concerned about the relatives of the Yang world, and although the ghosts were severely urged and reprimanded, they still forcibly climbed the Wangxiang platform, and finally looked at their hometown from afar, and only after crying loudly did they go to the "Yin Cao Difu".

The ghosts on the Wangxiang platform are in a hurry, looking at the eyes and tears. Wives and children sit on the side of the coffin, and relatives and friends gather in the mourning hall.

Wangxiangtai is very strange to build, the top is wide and the bottom is narrow, the face is like a bow back, the back is like a bowstring flat column, except for a stone step path, the rest is all sword mountain sword trees, very precipitous. Standing on it, you can see the five continents and four oceans. Originally, Wangxiangtai was set up in the first hall, because Bao Lao Yan Luo was in charge of the first hall, because he was too merciful, he took pity on the ghosts who died to death, and repeatedly let them return to the sun and the snow, and later was demoted to the fifth hall, and the head called the big hell and the sixteen small hells.

The woman who distributes the soup is naturally Meng Po, her soup is not an ordinary soup, Meng Po soup is also known as forgetting love water or forgetting sorrows, and she forgets her past and present lives when she drinks it. Meng Po distributed Meng Po soup at the head of the Nai He Bridge, everyone had to walk across the Nai He Bridge, Meng Po also had to ask if they wanted to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, if they wanted to cross the Nai He Bridge, they had to drink Meng Po soup, if they did not drink Meng Po soup, then they had to jump into the Lechuan River and wait for thousands of years to be reincarnated.

In the millennium, you may see the person you love most in this life walking on the bridge, but the words cannot be communicated, you can see him (her), he (she) cannot see you; You can see him (she) walking across the Nai He Bridge over and over again, drinking bowls and bowls of Meng Po soup, although he (she) hopes that he (she) will not drink Meng Po soup, but he (she) is afraid that he (she) will not be able to forget the suffering of thousands of years in the river.

After a thousand years, if you have endured the torture of the fierce spirits and evil ghosts and the copper snake and iron dog in the Lethe River, and after landing on the other side, you can still remember the events of your previous life, and you can re-enter the world to find the person you loved most in your previous life, otherwise you will also become a member of this Lethe River.

Everyone in the yang world has their own bowl here, and the Meng Po soup in the bowl is actually the tears shed by the living people in their lives. For every human being cries when he lives: joy, sorrow, pain, hatred, sorrow, love......

Meng Po collected their tears drop by drop and boiled them into soup, and when they left the world and walked on the bridge, let them drink them, forgetting the love and hatred when they were alive. Clean, re-enter the six realms, or immortals, or people, or animals.

After drinking Meng Po soup, you can forget the pain and sorrow, sorrow and happiness in the world. As long as you drink her decoction, the old grudges in the past and this life will be forgotten completely, and you will become a human again in the next life. People who are concerned, people who hate, will be like strangers in the next life, this kind of soup that people don't know is called Meng Po soup.

However, the bridge is divided into three layers, the upper layer is red, the middle layer is yellow, and the lowest layer is black, and the lower layer is narrower and more dangerous. Those who do good deeds in life go to the upper level, those who are both good and evil go to the middle level, and those who do evil go to the lower level.

The river is full of lonely ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, and those who have drowned are always looking for substitutes for themselves up and down the bridge, or left and right, so that they can be reborn.

Those who go down the lower floors will be stopped by ghosts, dragged into the filthy waves, bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs, and tortured without relief.

After crossing the Naihe Bridge, you can lead to six places, that is, you will enter the six realms of reincarnation: the path of heaven and humanity, the path of asura, the path of humanity, the path of beasts (also called the path of side beings), the path of evil ghosts, and the path of hell.

Among them, celestial beings, asuras, and humanity belong to the upper three realms, while beasts, evil ghosts, and hells belong to the lower three realms.

As for which path to go, the underworld will classify the spirits according to their good and evil deeds during their lifetime. Those who have a lot of good karma are often assigned to the upper three realms, and those who have a lot of bad karma are often assigned to the lower three realms.

The process of going to the underworld after death is not universal to everyone, and if the cultivator is virtuous, he will skip the process of the underworld after his death and be directly led to the Western Elysium by the Buddha.

And the great evil people who do a lot of evil may also skip this process in the underworld, and will often be sent directly to hell due to karmic traction. Some people will go to the city of death in vain after they die in vain, and they will not re-walk the Nai He Bridge until the yang life in the book of life and death is exhausted.

Along the way, I saw many ghosts walking on the Huangquan Road, and some people were teary-eyed on the Wangxiang Platform and refused to leave for a long time. Some people are holding a bowl of soup in the bridge, hesitating whether to drink Meng Po soup.

There were only a few people who jumped off the Lechuan River, and when they jumped down, they were immediately overwhelmed by countless ghost claws, and the vast majority of people still chose to drink Meng Po soup, and then walked onto the Nai He Bridge.

On the other side of the bridge is the existence of the Hades Palace, where the ghosts who walk across the bridge will be judged and decide which one they should reincarnate to according to what they did in life.

At the door of the Hades hall stood a man with the head of a bull and a man with a horse's face, both of whom were holding steel forks, looking a little terrifying.

Although the two of them looked at me expressionlessly, they still felt a tingling in their hearts under this eerie and terrifying atmosphere. But fortunately, there is black and white impermanence to escort me, so they didn't embarrass me.

After entering the hall of Hades, I saw a person sitting on a high platform, looking very majestic, this person is exactly the same as the statue of Hades in the world.

Next to Lord Yama stood a man who looked like a scholar, holding a golden pen in his hand, and holding a book in his left hand, and on the cover of the book there were three words - Book of Life and Death! This person should be the Lu judge who has mastered the book of life and death, and the longevity of the people in the world is recorded in the book of life and death!

"Your Majesty, Song Zijie, a cultivator in the world, is here!" Black and White Impermanence saluted the King of Hades respectfully, and at the same time, White Impermanence gave me a look and asked me to kneel and salute.

However, in my life, I seem to have knelt down to a few deceased relatives and knelt down to the old man who saved my life, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to kneel for no reason, even if this person is a god! So much so that I just bowed to Hades.

"Bold, dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty the King of Hades!"

Seeing this, several ghost soldiers on the side were furious, and immediately pounced on me viciously, trying to force me to kneel and salute.

"Don't be rude! They don't like that now, and he didn't come to be judged! ā€

At this time, the king of Hades on the high platform spoke, he waved his hand, and the two ghost pawns reluctantly stepped aside, and their faces were full of vicious looks when they looked at me.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's okay, I think you know what I called you here for, so let's open the skylight and tell you exactly what you know."

"Yes, Your Majesty! It all started with a girl named Liu Xin......"

At that moment, I told the story in detail again, and this Lord Yama listened without a trace of waves, as if everything was expected by him.

"Can you draw a picture of those two?" After listening to my story, Hades asked calmly.

"No problem!"

Of course, I knew who Hades meant by "they", and I took a brush, a drawing board, and paper from the hand of the ghost, and I began to swing it.

The appearance of "black and white impermanence" that took Liu Xin away is extremely clear in my mind, and I can recognize them even if they turn to ashes! So it's not hard to draw what they look like.

In just a few strokes, the appearance of the two "black and white impermanence" jumped on the paper. The ghost pawn presented my drawing to Hades, who looked at it and placed the paper on the table, then sighed.
