Chapter 786: Intercession for Others
"Finished with the story?" "Yes, that's it." Shui Sheng didn't understand what I meant by asking him, but he still answered my question truthfully. "What a sad story!" That's my conclusion, and as for the other souls around me, they all responded with "amounts".
"Shall we go and see this woman named Yuanyuan?" I asked for my advice from Shui Sheng, Hong, and Uncle Guo, who were walking with me. Although the three of them didn't know what I wanted to do, they still nodded in agreement, which really gave me enough face.
However, the ghost pawn in charge of guiding the way said with some confusion: "Shangxian, if you want to see that woman, I guess we have to go back, because where she is, we have already walked over." ”
"It's okay, aren't Nian Chu and Uncle Zhang safe?" I have to guarantee this first. "At least on our side, the two of them will be safe." The ghosts patted their chests and assured me. "That's not too bad for a while." I put my arm around the shoulder of the nearest ghost pawn and smiled at my attitude. The other party nodded knowingly, and then motioned for us to walk in the direction where Yuanyuan was.
After walking for a long time, the ghost soldier who led the way finally stopped in front of a relatively high pile. "This ghast is the Yuanyuan you are looking for."
Looking in the direction the ghost pawn was pointing, I noticed a rather miserable soul being tortured and tied to a stake. Through observation, I found that compared to other ghasts in the first level of tongue-pulling hell, Yuanyuan suffered far more torture than other ghasts.
Probably seeing my question, the ghost pawn next to me immediately explained: "Shangxian, this ghast came from another layer of hell, so she will have more scars on her body than other ghasts. ”
"Huh?" Suspicious, I continued to ask, "Isn't there a top-down order in hell?" ”
"Some ghasts enter the fourth layer of the Mirror Hell first, and the Mirror reflects how much evil they have done in their lives, and then decides which layer of Hell they enter first based on what they do." The ghost pawn answered my questions truthfully.
Fortunately, Nian Chu was not by my side, otherwise hearing this kind of answer, I wouldn't have scared this little girl.
"Can you let her tongue grow first, I have something to ask her?" "No problem, Shangxian waits." I saw the ghost come to Yuanyuan's side, and then snapped his fingers, and then saw that the tongue in Yuanyuan's mouth miraculously grew.
It's just that before I could ask a question, Yuanyuan took the lead and said, "Come and ask me again if I regret the actions I have done, right?" Seeing me in a daze, this Nizi continued: "Whether I regret it or not, what should have happened has happened, and all I can do is to silently atone for my sins here." It's just that I miss my mother, I don't want to be able to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, I just want my mother to be safe in the world. Speaking of zuihou, this Nizi seemed to be a little choked, and everyone's hearts were tugging when she heard it.
I remember a story about when you asked a prisoner, "Do you know it's wrong?" If the other person answers, "I know it's wrong." That must be an answer to escape punishment. But if the other party answers, "I am willing to pay for my past actions, but I just hope that the victim's family will forgive me, and my relatives will not be implicated because of me." If this is the answer, then the prisoner must be truly repentant.
Yuanyuan's answer happened to belong to the second type, and filial piety came first, and the first thing she could think of was her mother, which moved me very much. No matter what kind of excesses she had done because of jealousy and self-esteem, the evil spirit in front of her had already been duly punished for the mistakes she had committed.
Thinking of this, I instructed the ghost pawn on the side to put Yuanyuan down, and then asked the other party like a red question: "Would you like to join our team and search for the Jizo King Bodhisattva in the hell together?" ”
"I'd rather continue to suffer in the first level of hell than go back to the other layers of hell." Yuanyuan's answer surprised me, because Guo Shun or Shui Sheng, they all hope to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible and enter the six realms of reincarnation as soon as possible, weishenme Yuanyuan's answer is so different?
Seeing that I was puzzled, Yuanyuan continued: "Although I don't know who you are, I know the purpose of your trip, and I advise you to save it." The souls who come here don't want to meet the old man of Jizo King Bodhisattva, but there are a few who really encounter it. And the suffering of the hell below is far beyond your imagination, while it is now the first layer of hell, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise you will stay for a long time, I am afraid that you will never be able to get out of this place. ”
I could hear that Yuanyuan's words were kind enough to persuade me to dispel the idea of looking for the Jizo King Bodhisattva, but I was a rather stubborn person, so I immediately replied: "If you give up on something that is difficult to do, then this shijie will not be so beautiful now." No matter how hard things are, there's always someone to do them, right? And I'm the kind of person who picks hard persimmons. ”
Yuanyuan smiled at me encouragingly, and then said slowly, "Then I wish you good luck." ”“xiexie。” As my Xiexie voice landed, I saw Yuanyuan tied to the stake by the ghost pawn again, and at the same time as the headband that fixed her head was locked, a ghost pawn walked towards her with an oversized pliers in his hand, and the girl shouted in fright: "I agree to go with you." ”
"Okay!" I found out that Yuanyuan is really the kind of player who doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, and doesn't scatter the eagle when he doesn't see the rabbit. But then, a very faint plea came from the side: "Can you take me with you?" ”
Since I agreed to Yuanyuan's request, the ghost pawn with the pliers in his hand bypassed Yuanyuan and walked straight to the stake where he had just made a pleading sound, and I quickly stopped the other party and said, "Wait a minute!" ”
When the ghost pawn heard this, he reluctantly stopped, but he could see that he was very angry, and kept opening the pliers in his hand, closing, opening, closing... There was a rattling sound, and I could hear the ghasts on the stakes around me, one by one, they were quite nervous, for fear that the next person to have their tongues torn off would be themselves.
The piggyback here is that the ghost pawn in charge of punishment, after walking in a circle, the ghast soul that was originally pulled out of the tongue and pulled out the teeth will regrow teeth and tongue, and the cycle repeats. Therefore, when the ghost in charge of punishment discovers that there is a ghost with tongue and teeth in front of him, all he has to do is mechanically pull it out again.
At this moment, Yuanyuan was put on the ground again, and after glancing at the spirit on the other stake, Yuanyuan whispered to me, "Can you take her with you?" ”
"Weishenme?" I'm not a philanthropist, so I can't ask anyone for me, I'll say yes.
"Because this woman has lost both her body and her heart, and she is far more pitiful than I am." Yuanyuan muttered in a low voice, if the voice was quieter, I guess I wouldn't be able to hear it.
Seeing my indifferent appearance, Yuanyuan took a deep breath, and suddenly raised her voice and said: "If it doesn't work, I'd rather you take Xiaojun out of the sea of suffering, and I will bear those unfinished punishments for her, do you think it's okay?" ”
