Chapter 445 Searching for the Underworld
"It's not easy to find the legendary ghost town of Hell Xudu, so let's inquire here now to see if there are any legends about Hell Xudu in the vicinity!" Zhou Tianyi said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The five of them wandered around for a long time in the tourist area of Xudu. I didn't find anything special, on the surface, the front was human, the transformation of the special horror, the hideous ghosts, everywhere there were stone forests.
There are skulls everywhere, if you don't know that this is a tourist attraction, you will walk into it rashly, and you really think that you have walked in, like hell on earth.
"Brother God, it really looks weird and scary here, and it's even more terrifying than the things in the ancient tomb!" The little beggar said in a trembling voice.
"Of course, you don't want to? This is a tourist area rebuilt by manpower, all the terrifying atmosphere is deliberately transformed by human beings, of course it looks terrifying, but there is no danger, but it is different in the ancient tomb, the ancient tomb can be said to be full of dangers, everywhere is dangerous, if you are not careful, your life will be lost! Zhou Tianyi said.
"Well, that's right, that makes sense, the things here look scary, but they're not lethal and dangerous?" The little beggar said.
"We can kill us if we encounter something in the ancient tomb, not to mention other poisonous insects, zombies, fierce ghosts, we haven't seen anything in these years, are you still afraid of these things? I really look down on you! Miao Weiqiang said with a look of disdain.
"Okay, don't talk about it, now let's think about where to find the ghost town of Hell and Xudu!" Dong Tinghua said impatiently.
Zhou Tianyi felt that the legendary hell ghost city should be in this place, but it was not easy to find it.
The yin energy in this place is very heavy, but a lot of yin qi is artificially created. It is an illusion that it can be determined that the ghost town of Hell should not be in this place.
The people called hell the underworld, and there were ten halls of Yama in the underworld.
There are also many different interpretations of the legend of the underworld.
Difu: In a large number of ancient myths and Taoist classics in China, there are records of the underworld.
The common people divide everything in the world into two poles, which is the Chinese theory of yin and yang, which is an important part of ancient Chinese philosophy.
Because in our traditional culture, there is also a saying that plants and trees become essences, "vine spirits and tree monsters", this truth is also due to the Taoist yang god can "gather to form, scattered to zero".
Even those that can be refined include stones, and anything with aura can be transformed into shape.
It is not confined to the six paths. But it is always contained in the theory of yin and yang.
The Chinese divide the space of human existence into heaven (yang) and earth (yin); People are divided into male (yang), ***** day (yang), and night (yin); The day (yang) and the moon (yin) are equinoxes.
In China, there are three worlds, which are heaven, earth, and hell.
At least before the Zhou Dynasty, people believed that people divided their souls, and the soul as yang and the spirit as yin combined to form people, after death, the spirit and spirit returned to the sky, and the spirit and spirit returned to the earth, and the soul and spirit were used to explain the evolution of people's previous lives, present lives and future lives, and divided the elf world into three worlds.
The earthly earth, the heaven of the heavenly gods, and the underground spirits.
Huangquan may be the earliest concept of the underworld in Chinese religious beliefs.
Later, in the Han Dynasty, there was a Yin Cao Difu in Taoism, and after the introduction of Buddhism, under its influence, a systematic hell system was developed on the basis of the original evil Cao Hell of Taoism, that is, the eighteen layers of hell.
The concept of hell is greater than hell, and the concept of hell is greater than that of hell.
The underworld generally refers to the space where the souls of the dead are located, so it is not limited to the underworld, or may even overlap with the earthly world in space and cannot be perceived by humans.
Hell specifically refers 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.
And ordinary people may still smile in the underworld after death, just like living in the world, the good people even become immortals and gods after death.
Emperor Xudu (é é½ååÆ ē) and the other four ghost emperors in the five ghost emperors, the king of Yama (Yama King) or the separate Ten Palaces Yama are the rulers of the underworld, and the gods of the earth (Hou Tu Huang Di Yi), the god of Taishan Tianqi (the Great Emperor of Dongyue), the king of Jizo, and the city god are also gods in charge of life and death. Therefore, there is a way: Mo Yan does not retribution, and the gods and ghosts have arrangements.
The "Three Realms" here refers to the Three Realms of Taoism, although Buddhism has expanded the Three Realms into six realms, but it is still not comprehensive, because in our traditional culture, there is also a saying that plants and trees become essences, "vine spirits and tree monsters", this truth is also from the Taoist Yang God can be "gathered to form, scattered is zero". Even those that can be refined include stones, and anything with aura can be transformed into shape.
It is not confined to the six paths. But it is always contained in the theory of yin and yang.
The underworld is the place where the lives of all living beings are in charge. All things in heaven and earth, after death, their souls are bound to the netherworld by black and white, and all their good and evil in the yang world must be ended here.
As the saying goes, the living are in the yang, the dead are in the underworld, the yang is a world, and the underworld is a world. The world says that the underworld is eerie and terrifying, and there are lonely souls and wild ghosts everywhere.
In fact, who has seen it with their own eyes, it is called a world.
According to legend, the Yin Cao Difu is controlled by the ten palace Yama kings, and the ten palace Yama kings are called: Qin Guang King, Chu Jiang King, Song Emperor, Wuguan King, Yama King, Equality King, Taishan King, City King, Bian Cheng King, and Wheel King.
There are also chief judges Cui Fujun, Zhong Kui, black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, Meng Po God, etc.
That's how the whole Netherworld is like this. Among these unique Chinese systems of the gods of the underworld, there is also a Jizo Bodhisattva created by Buddhism in order to better preach in the land of China.
King Jizo Bodhisattva intends to transcend all the ghosts of the underworld, so that the world will no longer do evil and will no longer fall into the underworld and suffer in the underworld.
Therefore, all the ghosts, although they have committed mistakes in this world, if they sincerely repent and change their ways, they can be lenient for their sins and be spared from suffering.
On the one hand, if there are no more evil deeds such as killing in the yang world, and on the other hand, the ghosts of the Jizo King Bodhisattva who have been tortured will no longer appear in hell (hell is used to punish those who make mistakes in the yang world), and the Jizo King Bodhisattva will be able to attain enlightenment and become a Buddha. The so-called "hell is not empty" refers only to the genus of lonely souls and evil ghosts, not to the literal understanding of "hell should be empty" as the nitpickers literally.
These are all prefectures recorded in Taoist texts. It is also what we often call the underworld, but does it really exist? If so, where do you look for it?
Zhou Tianyi was stunned in place, not knowing what to do, and had no clue! (To be continued.) )
