Chapter 121 (Hall of Lost Souls)
Author: Long Zun Tingbo
How many evil deeds were done in life, you know here as soon as you come here.
All the things he did before he died, no one can run away after death.
Entering this yin, I feel that time flies really fast, recall, standing one station after another, it has been dozens of days, and here although the fatigue returns, but I don't sleep for dozens of days and I don't feel sleepy, maybe this is the difference between the underworld and the yang! The fog was filled, and not far away there appeared a palace that looked like an ancient house, with two large pillars of vermilion, standing on the left and right of the square. And how big these pillars are, so to speak, the handwriting on these two huge pillars can be vaguely seen from where I am now. One can imagine how big this palace will be. I shouted to Chang Jiuya: Brother Chang, look, mirage! And Chang Jiuya saw this scene, his face immediately showed joy, but after the joy, there was a hint of melancholy, Chang Jiuya turned his head and replied to me: Little brother, this is not a mirage, this is the seventh station of the Netherworld Mansion, called "Lost Soul Palace", and after this stop, you will arrive at the ghost city of Xudu in the center of the underworld, and you and I will also part ways here. Hearing Chang Jiuya say this, I really have a sense of loss, although I haven't been with Chang Jiuya for a long time, but through these few days of communication, I really have a little dependence on this Chang Jiuya, Chang Jiuya's nature is not bad, but his obsession was too heavy at the beginning, so it led to let himself go astray, but fortunately, his heart returned after death. I've had a lot of help from him these days, after all, he knows much more than I do in this netherworld, and I'm really reluctant to part now. Chang Jiuya also saw my thoughts, so he said to me: Little brother, I am a soul now, in fact, I should have come here to report a long time ago, let the two of us know each other in this underworld, thank you for your kindness. I hurriedly said: Brother Chang, you are too polite, in fact, you have done enough for me, I really don't know what to say. Chang Jiuya patted me on the shoulder, then took out a wad of money and two pieces of paper from his body and handed them to me. I was stunned, looked at the money in Chang Jiuya's hand and hurriedly asked: Brother Chang, where did you get this money? Chang Jiuya smiled at me and said: Even when you were in a coma, I came to the underworld to report this time, so my name has long been recorded in the yin book, so these things were burned to me by my eldest brother, and I will have a lot of things that I can't use up after I arrive in the capital, and you still have to return the yang! I took the two pieces of paper and the wad of money in Chang Jiuya's hand, and my mood came and went, this mood was really uncomfortable! One piece of paper is the map of the thirteen stations of the underworld, which is very detailed, and the other piece of paper I read it, I was really overjoyed, it was Chang Jiufeng's letter to Chang Jiuya, which said what happened recently, the Ma family arranged disciples on the way back to the soul all day long, waiting to welcome me and Lin Xueting back, and the letter mentioned Liu Xiaona in the last sentence, which said that Liu Xiaona had been rescued by the immortals of the Huang family, please don't be distracted. It turned out to be a favor from Huang Wanquan's family! Chang Jiuya saw my happy expression at this time, and said to me with a knowing smile: This kind of trivial matter of saving people is too small for those yellow skins, but those guys who are targeted by them are unlucky. I immediately asked, "Brother Chang, they're not going to kill those bastards, are they?" Chang Jiuya smiled and said: That's not it, after all, the Huang family's immortal family is not like those wild immortals in the deep mountains, who have plagued people for generations, but they will also rectify those people, so that those who have done bad things will be unlucky for ten or eight years. Hearing this, I shouted: "Okay, let them be scum, and then hurt people, it's better to let them fall half-crippled, and they won't be able to harm people if they want to hurt them in the future." Chang Jiuya smiled again and said to me: That seems impossible, at most, when you steal someone's wallet, you will be discovered, and the person who stole it is still a policeman. Chang Jiuya and I looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
Chang Jiuya and I walked for about three days, and during these three days, Chang Jiuya told me a lot of the various stations in the prefecture that I might have to go through in the future, and I also wrote down the meaning. In a blink of an eye, we came to the realm of this Ecstasy Temple, only to see a long line in the distance, all waiting to walk towards the soul in the Ecstasy Palace, Chang Jiuya told me that this Ecstasy Hall is to distribute Ecstasy Water, and this Ecstasy Water has the same magical effect as that Meng Po Soup, that is, the soul who drinks this Ecstasy Water will not lie and will tell the truth, and will tell the truth about the sins he committed in his life. It's like the ashamed wave candy in the movie "Tricky Expert" played by Zhou Xingxing, I was really shocked to hear this, if you bring this to the yang world, it will be cool, and there will be no lies and deception from now on, but it is still not good to think about it from another perspective, there are many white lies in the yang world, and if there are really no white lies, it is not a good thing. It seems that this thing is best suited to stay in this underworld. Chang Jiuya said to me: Little brother, put on your clothes, and mix with me in a while. I nodded, and put the black suit on my body that had been dyed with pot ash, and at this moment, two ghosts in the distance shouted: Hey! That soul, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up, after you are busy, we are in a hurry to get off work, grinding and chirping. Chang Jiuya turned around and smiled at the two ghosts, and then walked towards the pillar of the gate.
Chang Jiuya and I came to the doorpost, I looked up at the big characters on the doorpost, it was still two couplets, and the doorpost on the left was written: How many evil deeds were done in life. On the doorpost on the right reads: "Know it when you come here." There is no horizontal batch, in the middle of the two door pillars, a plaque suspended in mid-air, on which three large gold lacquer characters are written "Lost Soul Palace". And under the two door pillars, there is a small table, on which are placed a lot of papers, and there is a ghost cha in front of the table, and each soul will take out its own bead wherever it goes, that is, the ghost realm login certificate for the onicha to check. Then the ghost cha found the information of the soul, and when he used the login card of the soul, he put it on the paper, and the bead would slowly become brighter. Slowly it was my turn and Chang Jiuya, Chang Jiuya took out a token from his body, and I saw how this token was so familiar as if I had seen it somewhere. I thought about it for a while and thought of the origin of the token, isn't this the ghost sent by Brother Xie Bi'an Xie to You Yang Ling? But if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be the same, Chang Jiuya's token is two circles smaller than Xie Bi'an's, and Xie Bi'an's is milky white and yellow, while Chang Jiuya's is milky white and a little red. The color is slightly different, and if you look closely, the words on this token are also different. Xie Bi'an's spirit card has a yang character written on it, and Chang Jiuya's token has a constant character written on it. The ghost took the token and looked at it twice, and then said: It turned out to be someone from the Chang family in Beima! With that, he took out a piece of paper, wrote two strokes on it, and handed it to Chang Jiuya, who put the token away in a box. Chang Jiuya took the token and walked towards the Hall of Ecstasy, and I followed closely and blended in, I whispered to Chang Jiuya, what was the situation just now, and what was the matter with the token. Chang Jiuya told me that the token is called the Difu Youyin Order, and every disciple of the Beima Chang family has this token, so they can pass the Yin, and this Difu Youyin Order only belongs to the Yin but cannot be compared with the Youyang Order, because this is the Difu Youyin Order, not the Dixian Youyin Order, the Dixian Youyin Order is the same as Xie Bi'an Fan's Youyang Order, which can shuttle through the entire underworld without restrictions, and this Youyin Order can travel through the entire underworld without being restricted by stepping on the black clouds of the underworld, but you can't leave the black clouds for half a step. There is also the fact that this underworld tour yin order can also replace the ghost realm landing certificate.
After listening to Chang Jiuya's words, I understood what was going on. I thought to myself, what kind of person is the Immortal Yin Order in that place, this person must be a bull-like existence! Thinking about it, Chang Jiuya and I walked into the hall of ecstasy, and there was a big table in the hall of ecstasy, there were a lot of cups on the table, none of the cups contained some liquid, the liquid was light blue, and it was still steaming outward, I secretly touched the cup, strange, it was obviously steaming outward, but it wasn't hot at all, this should be the ecstasy water! At this time, Chang Jiuya picked up a cup, and those dead souls drank the liquid in the quilt one by one, Chang Jiuya also drank the liquid in the quilt, and a ghost next to him was holding a notebook, and the outer skin of the book was written with a record of sins, and I saw that the ghost asked a soul: What evil things did you do in your life. The soul began to chant as if the floodgates had been opened, and the words that the ghost had pronounced turned into words and flew into the book, and in a short time he finished reading the sins he had committed in his life. Then the ghost asked a second spirit. And I listened to the evil things in the life of these souls, and I really felt funny, there were all kinds of things, some were ruffians who oppressed the good people during their lifetimes, some were tycoons and rich people who helped launder money, and some were politicians. Fu Gao. The official accepts bribes, and then there are those who forcibly demolish houses to kill people, and the senior management of the enterprise wears small shoes for employees, and the last one that impresses me is the bus driver, the bus driver tells about the bad things he has done in his life, and I heard the most interesting thing is, deliberately not carrying passengers and leaving without waiting for people to close the door, I almost didn't laugh out loud, it seems that this is not only the rich people, but also the bottom of the people who are not good for themselves, think about the life of taking the bus, It is true that I have met some bastard drivers who drive buses, although they usually suffer a lot of grievances, but there is no way who let you choose this industry, as the so-called do a line of love and love a line of monks for a day and hit the clock for a day, people with a bad mentality are angry with the leaders or those who are unreasonable to make trouble with the passengers, so they sprinkle the anger on other passengers, and they don't wait to see the children who hold them, and deliberately close the door and clip people. It seems that no matter what class you are, there are good people and fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs!
At this moment, the ghost cha walked to Chang Jiuya's side and began to ask Chang Jiuya about some evil things he had done in his life, and Chang Jiuya said it 1510, and Chang Jiuya's evil deeds were very short, that is, he once attached to the body of a little girl, and cultivated the Dao with the help of her long and flat bones. After saying this, Chang Jiuya also looked guilty. Not at all like those who have nothing to do with their sins after they have finished speaking. It seems that Chang Jiuya is also very guilty about this matter! The ghost cha glanced at Chang Jiuya and said: As a member of the Chang family in Northern Malaysia, he still does this immoral thing. Then the ghost cha leaned over to Chang Jiuya's ear again. I saw that there was a situation with this ghost, so I hurriedly ran to Chang Jiuya's side and faced the ghost, listening to what the ghost was going to say. The distance was hilarious, he couldn't see me in front of the ghost, and I could even see the ghost's back molars. I saw that the ghost cha whispered to Chang Jiuya with a wicked smile: "Brother, I know, the tributes of your cultivator immortal family are all of the highest quality, you drag a dream for your family, tell them to burn me 180 billion, and then burn the two girls, I will erase this crime for you, what do you say?"
Chang Jiuya laughed when he heard it, and the ghost also laughed, and the ghosts next to him all looked at the two of them with puzzled eyes. I thought to myself, uncle, as a ghost, he has a priesthood, and he has this virtue, what is the difference between this and those corrupt officials in the yang world. At this moment, Chang Jiuya suddenly said with a serious expression and loudly: No need, if you don't get a ghost to send an adult to eliminate my sins, I am willing to bear any sins I have done in my life. I looked at Chang Jiuya and counted his thumbs, and Chang Jiuya also smiled at me slightly. The ghost had an embarrassed face, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and at this time, the ghost must be embarrassed and eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and after a while, the ghost coughed lightly, and wanted to take a form without words, and continued to ask Chang Jiuya: Are you the only one? Chang Jiuya immediately said: No! As soon as the words came out, Chang Jiuya's face changed, and after I heard Chang Jiuya say this, my sweat pores stood up at once. I thought to myself, your uncle's dead ghost is bad, you ask something, you have to ask him if he is on the road alone. This Chang Jiuya drank the ecstasy water, and the effect of the ecstasy water has not passed, at this time you can't lie, if the ghost continues to ask, can't you take it all low? Isn't this a boat capsized in the gutter? My heart was in my throat at this point. I saw that the ghost cha looked outside the door of the Ecstasy Hall again, and there were no more souls outside the hall. The ghost sent himself to mutter: There is no soul left? Then he said to Chang Jiuya in a tone as if he was retaliating: I don't care why the soul that is with you hasn't arrived here yet, in short, it's over today, and then shouted to a few ghosts at the door: The door is closed, and the soul will not be collected today. It seems that this ghost who asks for guilt is still a small head, and I saw that those ghosts immediately closed the door of the Ecstasy Hall. This little head ghost muttered to himself again: Hmph, if you offend Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will not let you and your companions pass through this temple of ecstasy. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to myself, it was so dangerous, it almost leaked completely. At this time, there were also more than a dozen souls around the ghost who asked the guilty question, and said attentively: Brother ghost, we have money in our family, I will give the family a dream, give you more paper money, and give you more tribute. The ghost said impatiently: Stay away from Lao Tzu, can you all compare those things with the tributes of the immortals, garbage, all garbage, out. After that, he turned around and walked towards the inner hall, which was a few dead souls who were unwilling to continue to beg the ghost to run towards the inner hall as well. A few ghosts walked up to Chang Jiuya and said: I don't know how to lift, cut. After that, he turned his head and walked towards the inner hall, and several ghosts turned back from time to time and waved their hands to the dead souls in the main hall and shouted: Don't you be there one by one, like a wooden pestle, hurry up and go inside.
At this time, the souls of the dead in the main hall also walked towards the inner hall, and only me and Chang Jiuya were left in the main hall, and both of us breathed a long sigh of relief. Chang Jiuya pointed to a door in the east and said to me: Brother Xiaoyi, you will go to the door in a while, and you will go out of that door until you go in the direction of the ghost city of Xudu, and we will have to be interrogated to see if we have to be punished, before we can go to Xudu, I am afraid of delaying your time to save people, so we will say goodbye, and I want to say goodbye to you while the medicinal properties of the ecstasy water have not passed now, I want to say to you, it is good that Brother Xiaoyi knows you, I hope we can still be brothers in the next life. After Chang Jiuya's words came out, I stood and felt that my eyes were slightly wet, and Chang Jiuya hurriedly said to me: Little brother, don't cry, there are no tears in the soul, and what is left is blood and tears. If the garment gets blood, it will lose its effect. I hurriedly pressed my hands to my eyes. Then he said: Brother Chang, you are good, we will still be brothers in the next life.
After a while I felt that the dampness in my eyes had subsided, and there was no sound in my ears, so I took my upper hand off, and when I opened my eyes again, the hall was empty, except for the ecstasy water on the table, which was still bubbling outward.
I turned and ran towards the door that Chang Jiuya had pointed me to......................
