"God stick, don't blame yourself too much, no matter what happens, I won't blame you, because we are brothers!" Dong Tinghua said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Don't talk about those useless things, the main thing we do now is to find the soul of Zhantian!" The twin-tailed scorpion said.
"Grandpa and Grandpa wrote something in your notebook, hurry up and say it, where is the next place where the Seal Battle Heavenly Soul is broken!" Dong Tinghua opened the topic and said.
Zhongtian stroked the notebook, feeling sorry for Dong Tinghua, sorry for his grandfather and grandfather.
Flipping through the crumpled notebook, the words on it have all been explained.
Zhou Tianyi carefully looked at the records in the notebook, these were the words that his grandfather and grandfather had painstakingly deciphered.
"Brother God, hurry up and tell me what is written on it!" The little beggar asked impatiently.
"Hell is a ghost town!" Zhou Tianyi said in shock, he didn't expect that the next place where the wind broke was in the ghost city of Xudu.
"Brother God, you can make it clear what hell is drunk!" The little beggar asked, puzzled.
Zhou Tianyi told the story about the ghost town of Xudu, and the little beggar was shocked when he heard it!
Legend has it that it is a city in hell that exists in the underworld.
The incident of the ghost town of Hell has left a lot of records in history. In many ancient classics, there are also mentions about the ghost town of Xudu.
Ghost city is also known as ghost city Fengdu, Fengdu ghost city, ghost town.
Xudu is an ancient city facing the water by the mountains, called "Bazi Beidu" in the spring and autumn period, the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Yongyuan two years from the county to set up a separate county, named "Xudu", has a history of more than 1900 years.
Xudu, since ancient times, is a famous cultural city, is the most distinctive, the most famous historical and cultural town in China, with its rich ghost culture as the Yin Cao Difu is located and famous in ancient and modern China and foreign countries.
There are many legends of ghosts and gods circulating here, and many Chinese and foreign literary masterpieces such as "Journey to the West", "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai", "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue", "The Biography of Zhong Kui" and many other Chinese and foreign literary masterpieces have vivid descriptions of the "ghost city", which is quite legendary.
Legend has it that Fengdu is a place controlled by the king of Hades, and people must come here to report after death, summarize the good and evil in their previous lives, become ghosts in the underworld, or reincarnate according to the karma of their previous lives.
The first is Taoism. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling founded the "Five Buckets of Rice" religion, absorbed a lot of witchcraft, and became the later "ghost religion".
In 198 AD, his grandson Zhang Lu established the Taoist "Pingduzhi" in Fengdu, which became the center of Taoist mission.
Later, Taoism made up a "Luo Feng Mountain", saying that it was the ghost capital governed by the Beiyin Emperor, who was the seventh-level central god of Taoism and was in charge of hell. In the Northern Wei Dynasty geographer Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Book of Water", it is said that Fengdu is the forty-fifth place in the seventy-two blessed lands of Taoism.
The second is the theory of the Ghost Emperor (Tubo): when human society was still in ancient times, due to the underdevelopment of science, it was impossible to make a correct explanation when encountering some natural phenomena, and believed that all these things were dominated by ghosts and gods. The Ba and Shu tribes are mainly composed of the Diqiang tribe, two tribes.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Fengdu was the capital of Bazibe, with the continuous exchanges between the two ethnic groups of Bashu, politics, economy, culture, thought, and customs penetrated each other, so there was a common belief in the religious god - Tubo, which was the first generation of ghost emperors of the Bashu ghost tribe. This ghost emperor lives in the hidden capital, and there are still relics of the "hidden capital" in the capital to this day.
The third is the Buddhist theory of "Yama King". "King Yama" is a transliteration of Sanskrit, and he is willing to be the king of Hades in ancient Indian mythology. Buddhism continues to use this term as the demon king who governs hell.
Legend has it that he had eighteen judges under him, and he was in charge of eighteen hells. According to the Sutra of All Scriptures, the "King of Yama" is the "King of Equality", and he can punish sins equally. The fourth is the theory of Yin and Wang Chengxian, which is the most widely circulated saying in Fengdu. As early as around 270 A.D., Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty said about Yin and Wang Chengxian in his "Legend of the Immortals".
Legend has it that in the Han Dynasty, there were two alchemists, one was named Yin Changsheng, who was the great-grandfather of Empress Liu Zhao; One is named Wang Fangping, an official to the court. Because they were dissatisfied with the status quo of society, they both came to Fengdu to cultivate, and in the early years of Wei Qinglong, they became immortals and left.
Later, in the Tang Dynasty, the two of them were falsely rumored to be the "Yin King", that is, the king of the underworld. Later, coupled with the continuous deliberate exaggeration of the ruling class of successive dynasties, the literati and officials of the past dynasties described through novels, poems, travelogues and inscriptions,
Such as "Journey to the West", "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "The Complete Biography of Yue", "Western Chronicles" and so on. Therefore, a more comprehensive ghost town was formed in Fengdu.
"Brother God, hearing you say that, are we going to break into hell!" The little beggar said in shock, after listening to Zhou Tianyi, he already understood that drunkenness is hell.
"It's the sword mountain and the sea of fire, we should break through it, and now we just don't know if this legendary hell exists!" Zhou Tianyi said.
It is also a ghost town in hell. Is Zhantian's soul really sealed in the legendary ghost town?
Legends about hell have also been passed down in folklore. But the existence of this hell is still unknown.
There is a big difference between this ghost city of Xudu, whether it is the capital recorded now or the capital thousands of years ago.
However, one thing is certain, the capital recorded above must not be the current capital, but the real capital of hell
"Where should we go to find a hell now! It's scary to think about it now! I'm going to hell! The little beggar said with a frightened face.
"Do you say hell really exists in this world?" Miao Weiqiang asked a little puzzled.
"Brother Qiang, how many strange things have we seen along the way, don't you believe in the existence of the legendary hell? If I'm right, this ghost town of Xudu also exists! Zhou Tianyi said.
"What kind of existence is Hell?" The little beggar asked, puzzled.
Zhou Tianyi frowned slightly, talking about the hell recorded in Taoist classics.
There are eighteen levels of hell, and there are many religious texts that have things about hell.
Hell, also known as Hades, is believed by some to be the place where the soul of a person goes after death. The idea of hell is widely distributed in religious beliefs around the world, such as Buddhism, Yingduism, some sects of the current Youtai Religion and the J Du religion, YSLANISM, etc., while the fundamentalist Jewish sect does not recognize the existence of hell.
It is considered to be a heretical concept that was influenced by pagan ideas. Hell refers specifically to the place where the souls of the dead who have been imprisoned and punished for their sins in life, and can be said to be the prison and execution ground of the underworld. (To be continued.) )
