The black and white impermanence did not touch the ground, floated in front of the bull-headed horse, and shouted: "Bull-headed and horse-faced, this is a distinguished guest, not an ownerless soul, you must not be rude!" ”

Niu Tou Ma bowed down and said: "Uncle Impermanence, this person's appearance is indescribably expensive, and the yang energy is thriving, and the two of us also know that his origin is extraordinary, it must not be the soul of the underworld, but the world's master Yuan Shen out of the body, so I dare not slack off." It's just that behind him, there is a dead female ghost, and according to the rules, she can't enter the underworld, so we wait for her to stop drinking. ”

Only then did I realize that it was the soul of Ding Xiaomei, who I brought into the underworld with the black relics left by Master Bama. After listening to their conversation, I believed that as Ding Xiaomei said, lonely souls and wild ghosts could not enter the ghost city of Fengdu.

Black and white impermanence stood facing me, black impermanence did not say a word, staring at Ding Xiaomei's soul angrily, and Bai impermanence said to me with a kind face: "King Ming is coming to the underworld, I don't know what to do?" ”

I've heard adults say that this black and white impermanence, although they are both functional prefectures and are responsible for detaining people's souls, there is actually a difference in the division of labor between the two. Bai Wuchang is basically responsible for receiving those who are good in the yang world after the death of the yin, so although he has a long tongue, he looks more kind, and he also has a wife, commonly known as the impermanence woman; And black impermanence specializes in catching evil ghosts with chains and shackles, so black impermanence looks more vicious.

Judging from the attitude of black and white impermanence towards me and Ding Xiaomei respectively, I also understand that the folk theory is not false. Hearing Bai Wuchang ask me, I hurriedly arched my hand and said, "Master Wuchang, my little brother has encountered a trouble in the Yang world. ”

I pointed to the ghost of Ding Xiaomei next to me and said, "After this woman died, she seemed to have forgotten who killed her before she died, but she misunderstood that I killed her, so she was entangled." The younger brother sympathized with her plight and didn't want to disperse her soul, but he couldn't let her understand the truth, so he had no choice but to take her soul into the underworld, wanting to ask for guidance from the two impermanence masters. ”

Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "King Ming is really a great compassion, and I am deeply admired!" Since you brought her to the underworld, then you have your own way to let her see how she died before she died, please come with me! ”

With Bai Wuchang opening the way, Niu Tou Ma Mian led a group of Yin soldiers defending the city to immediately dodge aside, while Black Impermanence stared closely at Ding Xiaomei's ghost behind him, and floated into Fengdu City with me.

While walking, I was secretly sighing at the enthusiasm of the white impermanence, the coldness of the black impermanence, and suddenly the story of the black and white impermanence widely circulated among the people came to my mind, and from the story, I can also see the different personalities and division of labor of the two impermanence masters.

It is said that one year, during the Qingming Festival, Bai Wuchang passed by a place on a business trip, and saw a woman with two children crying and worshipping in front of a grave, and she was very sad; I saw an old man shaking his head and sighing not far away, very sympathetic. Bai Wuchang inquired about the old man, only to know that this woman had been greatly wronged.

It turned out that the woman's surname was Chen, and she was the third daughter of a wealthy businessman. This wealthy businessman has a lot of wealth, but his son is unlucky, and he only gave birth to three daughters, and the third daughter is still pockmarked. When the mother saw that her third daughter was infected with this disease due to smallpox, she blamed herself very much, and she loved her third daughter very much, and she died last year.

There is a guy in the Chen family named Ao Da, who is honest on the surface and very scheming in his heart, he calculates, Miss Chen San is a pockmark, and the son of a rich family will definitely not want her, it is better to seduce her as a wife, and when his father dies, this family wealth will not belong to him!

Miss Chen San said a lot of family affairs, all because of that pockmarked face, no one wanted. She saw that Ao Da was strong and strong, and she teased her father, and the two eyebrows were eyebrow-raising, and soon they became mandarin ducks privately. After a few months, Miss Chen San's belly gradually grew bigger.

Miss Chen San's father had no choice but to make Ao Da his son-in-law. After Ao Da really became a son-in-law, his father-in-law mentioned him as the chief manager, and he was in charge of all the big and small affairs of the family. Gradually, Ao Da was not so deferential to his father-in-law, and he was an alcoholic and a prostitute outside; When he came home, Miss Chen San persuaded him and humiliated Miss Chen San. Master Chen died of illness. Ao Da's day and night gambling are more powerful.

Bai Wuchang listened to what the old man said, his heart was on fire, and he decided to teach Ao Da a lesson and show Miss Chen San a way to survive.

He followed Miss Chen San home. There happened to be a gambler who came to collect gambling debts, and when he saw that it was Ao's big money, he had to pay him a hundred taels of silver. Seeing that there was no one at home, the gambler hugged Miss Chen San to be rude, and was suddenly slapped three times.

Miss Chen San pushed away the gambler, fled into the back room, and inserted the door, so she couldn't think of it, and took the rope to hang herself. She hung a rope and broke a rope, feeling strange in her heart, Bai Wuchang opened the door and carried her two children into the house. Miss Chen San was very kind when she saw Bai Wuchang smiling, and she was not afraid.

Bai Wuchang said: "Why commit suicide, it's better for you to pack up the money left in your family and go to another country, and you have to raise your two children to adulthood!" Miss Chen San listened to Bai Wuchang's words and left with the two children.

After Miss Chen San left, the four shops of the Chen family caught fire at the same time. Na Ao Da was holding the female branch girl in the Chunxiang Courtyard, smoking a big cigarette, and when he rushed home, the family business was all burned down.

And black impermanence, in addition to the more recognized "old eight" theory in the legend, there is another more commonly accepted theory.

Legend has it that once upon a time there were two fathers and sons, and the son was a lazy and hard-working child, smoking and gambling. The father disciplined, but the son just didn't listen. Once, my son came back from gambling and lost everything. The father accidentally beat his son to death. After the death of his son, his bad habits did not change, and the ghost still did evil and harmed people in the world.

A few years later, one night, my son came to the door of his house, and as he was about to enter the house, the dog in the yard barked incessantly. His father knew that there were dead ghosts who were coming to harm people, so he went out of the house with a knife in one hand and a tung oil lamp in the other hand to collect ghosts. When the son saw his father's fierce approach, he jumped up to the house and said, "Father, the child is not here to harm anyone, but he just wants to come back and see your old man." ”

The father said, "You have done evil in the world, and you have disturbed your neighbors when you die, and after I killed you by mistake, my heart was still uncomfortable for a long time, but if you continue to do evil, I will not be uncomfortable." ”

The son said, "You are really reasonable, the son has now discovered that he has a conscience, and he vows not to do evil again, and he will definitely change his evil and repay the kindness of his upbringing in the next life." ”

The father said, "That's fine, it's not allowed for my father to see the villagers." ”

The son said, "Father, don't worry, from now on, my son will go to torture and suffer, and he will not come to visit your old man's home again." Take care of your father. ”

From then on, the son really did not come to harm anyone again, and he went to the eighteenth layer of hell to be tortured. In the eighteen layers of hell, he endured a lot of hardships before he realized the preciousness of life, and the evil things he did in the past were really sinful.

Once, King Qin Guang, one of the Ten Palaces of Yama, summoned him and said, "Why don't you go and take a stand-in to return to the yang?" ”

He said: "In my previous life, I have done all the bad things that were hated and scolded by thousands of people, and wherever I went, people everywhere killed me with knives and sticks, and the fact that I did evil was making people spurn, and I wanted to be a good person again." ”

Qin Guang said: "It seems that you are really an evil ghost who can change evil and turn from good, sue you, if you are a good ghost for another three years, I will definitely report to Yin Tianzi to make you an official and a half-job." ”

Three years later, the king of the Ten Palaces summoned him again and said, "In the past three years, you have indeed changed from evil to good and done a lot of good deeds. ”

Since then, he has been wearing a black linen coat, and he has gone out to patrol various places in the middle of the night, making secret visits, and reporting to the Yin Tianzi for his good deeds, and Judge Cui for his evil deeds, and arresting many, many evil ghosts.

Although when I heard these two legends, I also wondered why the black and white impermanence in the legends were not the same. But later, in my relationship with Zen Master Zhikong, I understood a truth. The world is impermanent, and what thing can be eternal?

The Buddha also said that all things in the world are inseparable from the four stages of "birth, residence, and extinction", which reciprocate and reciprocate. This story of impermanence in black and white may not be contradictory, because in addition to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who "jump out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements", they can live and die, and the gods or immortals also have a time of extinction.

Just like the Son of Heaven of Yama in the fifth hall of the underworld, and now he is Bao Zheng, a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty Dragon Pavilion University, so before him, is there no one vacant in this Yama Heavenly Son? Therefore, this god or immortal, in different periods, will have different candidates, but no matter which god is on the throne, the title will never change.

While I was thinking about it, black and white impermanence suddenly stopped. I looked up and saw a towering archway in front of me, with three big characters of 'Ghost Gate' written in vigorous and powerful scripts.

Legend has it that it is the second checkpoint for people to report to the Netherworld after death. On both sides, there are eighteen ghost kings and little ghosts guarding the door. Strict barriers, copper walls and iron walls, unbreakable. Whoever comes here will be inspected to see if there is a pass.

This pass is the 'road guide'. It is a certificate for the soul of a person to report to the underworld after death. On this yellow paper, which is three feet long and two feet wide, it is printed with the words "Lu Yin for the Emperor Yama, the Son of Heaven in Xudu" and "The people of the world must have this guide in order to be reincarnated and ascended to heaven in Fengdu Difu", and it is also stamped with three seals: "Lord Yama", "Lord Chenghuang", and "Lord of Xudu County".

After a person dies, he burns it, and the soul of the dead takes it to the ghost gate, and only after checking that it is correct, can he enter the gate. Although I am not dead, and I have no way to guide me, I am accompanied by black and white impermanence, and after the eighteen ghost kings saw black and white impermanence, they immediately ordered the little ghost to open the ghost gate and let us enter.

I asked Bai Wuchang curiously, "Master Wuchang, why didn't the ghost king let those ghosts enter the city?" It's a pity to see them crying so miserably! ”

Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "King Ming, you don't know something. After passing through this ghost gate, there must be a way. You may have heard of the path guide in the mortal world, but do you know how to have a Yin Si road guide? ”

I shook my head and said, "I wish to hear Lord Impermanence exonerate me!" Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "King Ming, there is no way to guide this earth, since Tang Taizong dreamed of beheading the dragon king of the Jing River, this Yin Si Tianzi decided that when mortals die in the future, there must be a road guide to enter the ghost gate, otherwise they will be rejected from the city and become a lonely ghost." ”
