The old spirit on the Sansheng Stone, the moon and the wind are not to be discussed. I am ashamed that the deceased visited each other from afar, although this body of the opposite sex exists forever. There is a lot of things in front of and behind him, and if you want to talk about marriage, you are afraid of breaking your bowels. Wu Yue has searched all over the mountains and rivers, but he has returned to the smoke and the pond.

Standing in front of the Sansheng Stone in a daze, my thoughts are like a tide, who can match me with the Sansheng Stone? Tan Min is naturally the most desired existence in my heart, but as the saying goes, 'shaving your head is hot', although I regard her as a goddess, she is lukewarm to me, and she doesn't show that special affection for me at all, at most she treats me as an acquaintance.

Could that be the lonely lotus Li Ting who has turned into a little red lotus and returned to my body? Or Fei Fei, with whom I had a lingering night? It won't be them, I know very well in my heart that they are the ones who can stir me up, but that's not real love.

Bai Wuchang seemed to be able to understand my thoughts, and said with a smile: "King Ming is worried, before the Sansheng Stone, the marriage has long been doomed. For the mortal illusory body of the immovable Ming King, you have to go through several calamities to get the right result, and don't worry about the superficial qiē. ”

Bai Wuchang's words touched my heartstrings all of a sudden, and I felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. "Three lives" originated from the Buddhist doctrine of cause and effect reincarnation, and in reality, the three life stones purchased by people were produced on the Nine Immortals Mountain in the hometown of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, and the legendary Yuanchi Immortal Weng is the representative of Taoism.

After a long period of evolution of China's religious culture, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism have penetrated and assimilated each other. In front of the three-life spirit stone that integrates 'Buddha Dao', 'Humanity' and 'Heavenly Dao', what 'evil' and 'evil' are there?

Buddhism pays attention to 'governing the mind', Confucianism calls it 'righteous heart', and Taoism pursues 'refining the mind'. Behind this, Confucianism talks about 'governing the world', Taoism talks about 'governing the body', and Buddhism talks about 'governing the mind'.

From another point of view, Confucianism talks about 'knowing death without knowing what life is' and 'being good at one's own body and helping the world at the same time', not to be obsessed with things in the clouds and fog, but to pay attention to the cultivation of the present world; Taoism talks about 'exhausting changes' and strives to understand the laws of change in the world and society; Buddhism talks about 'dependent arising emptiness' and not to be confused by the phenomenon of external world disturbances.

Therefore, the Sansheng Stone, which integrates the aura of heaven and earth, is the essence of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and in reality, people wear the Sansheng Stone as a form of physical realization of the Dharma and righteousness, the expulsion of evil, and the hope of placing hope.

With a clear understanding in my heart, I nodded to Bai Wuchang and asked softly, "Master Wuchang, where do you want to take me?" ”

Bai Wuchang smiled and said: "King Ming, don't you have great compassion and can't bear to scatter Ding Xiaomei's soul, but want her to understand how she died, so as to dissipate her resentment, so that she can enter the underworld and be reincarnated as a human being?" Jizo Bodhisattva has long known about your compassion, so he ordered me and Black Impermanence to lure your godless and Ding Xiaomei's ghosts to visit the underworld. ”

I was amazed and said, "Is Jizo Bodhisattva also in this underworld?" I once heard Zen Master Zhikong say that hell is a place of filth and evil, and although Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can go to heaven and earth, they can never enter hell, so as not to contaminate the golden body with the filthy energy of hell. ”

Bai Wuchang said respectfully: "The Buddha Shakyamuni was born in the world of filth and evil, so the Jizo Bodhisattva is determined to follow the Buddha's teachings, promote the Dharma in the land of filth and evil, and transcend sentient beings, so many people think that the Jizo Bodhisattva is the true spiritual successor of the Buddha." ”

"The Jizo Bodhisattva has already reached the sea of wisdom of the Buddha since the immeasurable and boundless eons of practice, and his merits have been fully attained, and he should have attained the fruition of the Buddha a long time ago. However, the Jizo Bodhisattva made a vow to save all sentient beings, so he concealed his true merits, and with his original wish power and free supernatural powers, he appeared everywhere to save sentient beings. ”

"The Bodhisattva of Great Compassion will never become a Buddha, not because Cheng Dù is not enough or slack in practice, but because he will transform sentient beings with the strength of great compassion. Therefore, although the merits are the same as those of the Buddha, they do not appear as Buddhas, and always use the body of a bodhisattva to get rid of sins and suffering sentient beings. ”

"Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, all sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven." , I blurted out a couplet on both sides of the Jizo Bodhisattva Buddha statue that I saw in a Buddhist temple.

Bai Wuchang looked at me approvingly and said, "The folk say that the king of Yama is the general name for the ten halls of Yama. The leader of the Netherworld Sect is the Bodhisattva of the Earth, and the people in charge of the affairs of the Yin Division are the King of Qin Guang, the King of Chujiang, the Emperor of Song, the King of Pestle, the King of Yama, the King of Bian Cheng, the King of Taishan, the King of the City, the King of Equality, and the King of the Wheel. These ten kings dwell above the ten halls of hell, so they are called the ten halls of Hades. ”

My heart shook and said, "Master Impermanence, are you going to take me to see Yan Jun?" ”

Bai Wuchang said: "King Ming, you were born in this world, just to go through all the calamities, and finally achieve the right result, when you die, it is also the time when you have to get rid of ** troubles, and you will not enter hell." Therefore, the Netherworld Sect Master has ordered, there is no need to take you to meet Yan Jun. It's just that you have to finish making Ding Xiaomei's ghost understand how he died, so you have to come to the first hall Qin Guangwang Jiang. ”

"Qin Guangwang Jiang? Is it the king of Yama in the first hall of the underworld? Where are we going to see him? I asked curiously and excitedly.

Bai Wuchang smiled and didn't say anything, just pointed forward with his hand. Suddenly, I saw a large-scale but gloomy palace appear in front of me.

I looked at the palace curiously, and suddenly found that there was a high platform about a foot high on the side of the palace, and a mirror made of unknown material was erected on it.

I saw that the mirror was hanging to the east, and the yin and yang in it couldn't help hovering, and there was a horizontal plaque on it, with seven big characters written: There are no good people in front of the evil mirror.

I immediately understood that this was the evil mirror of the Yin Si in folklore.

Bai Wuchang said slowly: "After mortals die, their souls enter the ghost gate. A person who has been good all his life, if his merits are immeasurable, can be examined by several kings of Yama for his good and evil in the world, and even without examination, he can be reborn in Western Bliss or reincarnated as a human being. If they are wicked, they will be judged by the Ten Palaces of Yama and sent to the relevant hell to be tortured according to the severity of the evil deeds committed in the Yang World. ”

"Some people, those who have slightly less serious yang crimes, can get out of hell and enter the six realms of reincarnation after being punished by one or two hells. Those who have sinned in great sins can be tortured in several hells. Those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be punished in the eighteen hells one by one, and will be sent to the Infernal Hell, and they will never be reincarnated. ”

The Six Paths: 1. The Way of Heaven; 2. The Way of the World; 3. The Shura Path; Fourth, the animal road; 5. Hungry Ghost Road; 6. Hell Road. The six realms, also known as the six pleasures, the six mortals, or the six realms of reincarnation, are the path of reincarnation of sentient beings. The six realms can be divided into the three good paths and the three evil paths. The three good paths are heaven, man, and asura; The three evil realms are beasts, hungry ghosts, and hells. ”

"People in Buddhism pay attention to the word cause and effect, and everything has karma. Those who can enter the reincarnation of the three good paths are greater than their bad karma; Those who enter the reincarnation of the three evil realms are more important than their good karma. A sentient being who is immersed in segmented birth and death has no path to reincarnation, and none of them can go through the six realms. ”

Bai Wuchang paused for a moment and said, "King Qin Guang's surname is Jiang, and he is in charge of the first hall of the Yin Division. On the day of the end of the life of a good person, there is a connection to the death. Men and women who have hooked up on merit and merit are sent to the tenth hall for distribution, and they are still reincarnated, or men are turned into women, or women are turned into men, competing with the rich and the poor, and they repay each other with grievances. ”

"Whoever was evil in his life is sent to the evil spirit, and first goes to the mirror of evil to take his sins, and sees the danger of his heart in the world, and the danger of death to hell. At that time, he knew that he couldn't bring ten thousand taels of gold, and he only had sin with him in his life. ”

As Bai Wuchang spoke, I saw countless ghost guards escorting one ghost after another, constantly entering and exiting the First Yama Palace. I wondered, "Master Impermanence, why did the ghost suddenly disappear after the ghost soldier escorted the ghost out of the Yama Palace?" ”

Hei Wuchang, who had been silent, said coldly: "King Ming, it was these ghosts who misbehaved in their previous lives, and after Yan Jun pronounced the sentence, they were escorted to hell by the ghost guards to be tortured. ”

I was shocked and said, "Master Impermanence, can you let me take a look at hell?" Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "King Ming, you can't see hell now, but Ding Xiaomei beside you has already seen it, haven't you seen her trembling with fright?" ”

I looked back, and sure enough, I found that Ding Xiaomei's ghost was shrunk into a ball, trembling incessantly, and her eyes were full of horror. I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Master Impermanence, why can she see hell but I can't?" ”

Bai Wuchang laughed and said: "King Ming, you are not an ordinary mortal, if you don't have an evil body, you naturally won't see hell." Did you know that 'hell is made of the heart'? Although you can't see hell, after your cultivation increases day by day, you should be able to glimpse the miserable state of hell with your mana. ”

I looked up at the first hall of Yama, and saw a plaque hanging above, with five big characters written on it: King Qin Guang of the first hall.

Under the plaque, a public case is placed, on which sits a person, wearing the crown of the emperor, with a white face and black beard, and a majestic atmosphere.

On the right hand of King Qin Guang's desk, there is a person in a red robe, holding a thin and red pen.

I immediately guessed that this person was the judge of the Yin Division, and the thin hand in his left hand was the thin pen of life and death, and the pen held in his right hand was the soul hooking pen.

The life and death book and the soul hook pen are very powerful, and the life and death book records the time of mortal life. As long as the cinnabar pen ticks the name of a mortal on the book of life and death, according to the good and evil of the dying person, the black and white impermanence will go to hook the soul. It's true: Hades told you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch?

On the right side of King Qin Guang stood a cow head and a horse face holding iron chains, and a ghost knelt in front of the desk. Some stood, while others knelt on the ground and were chained to their collarbones.

Bai Wuchang saw my dazed look and said to me: "King Ming, in fact, there is no hell in the world. However, hell really exists, why is that? That's because the dark side of people's hearts is stored in zài, which leads to the existence of hell. ”
