Zhao Wan'er said faintly: "This Mulian Bodhisattva is so filial, hey, just pity my hard-working father, I want to learn from Mulian Bodhisattva, no matter how much it costs and how much effort it takes, I also want to let his soul break free from the seal of Qianling, enter the earth for peace, and reincarnate again." ”

Li Bing looked at Zhao Wan'er with a firm gaze and comforted: "Wan'er, don't worry, we will definitely solve the mystery of Qianling, so that your father's undead will no longer suffer from the seal." ”

Li Bing wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Wan'er, do you like to eat black rice?" ”

Zhao Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Li Bing, do you mean the black rice eaten on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month every year, oops, it really won't take long to have black rice to eat, I like to eat it, sweet and glutinous, to mention it, it will almost make me hungry." ”

Folk customs, with a kind of shrub leaves picked on the mountain called black rice reed or called black rice grass head in the pot boiled or pounded with a stone mortar, and then take its black juice mixed into the glutinous rice, after soaking, the scriptures are cooked thoroughly to become black rice, its taste is fragrant and delicious, so that people's appetite is greatly increased,

Li Bing also licked his lips, and then said: "There are many folk legends about the origin of black rice, and one of the most widely spread is related to Mulian Bodhisattva. ”

"It is said that Mulian Bodhisattva was ordered by the Buddha and knew that his mother was suffering in the underworld because of her disrespect for the monks during her lifetime, and the filial Mulian often sent food to his mother to eat, but every time she sent it, she was snatched up by many hungry ghosts on the road to the underworld, and the ghost of Mulian's mother could not eat it at all."

"The wise Mulian Bodhisattva went to the mountain to pick black rice grass, soaked it in black water, cooked it and sent it, and the little ghost in the underworld saw that the rice was black, thinking that it was poisonous and did not dare to eat it, so Mulian's mother was able to eat it and relieve the suffering of the hungry ghosts."

"The Buddha saw that Mulian was so filial, so he conferred Mulian as the head of the Netherworld Sect Jizo King Bodhisattva, ruling the underworld, he and Guanyin Master, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva together called the four great Bodhisattvas, especially the Jizo King Bodhisattva, is the great compassion, he made a grand wish: hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha; Crossing all sentient beings will prove the right result. ”

Shi Liya asked a little puzzled: "Li Bing, you are not wrong, I have been to Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province, where it is the dojo of Jizo Bodhisattva, and it is said that Jizo Bodhisattva is the Goryeo prince Jin Jueluo who came to Middle Earth to seek Buddhism, and finally achieved the right result in Jiuhua Mountain. ”

Li Bing smiled and said: "The Buddha and Bodhisattva have supreme supernatural powers, and there are many Dharma bodies and incarnations, whether it is Mulian or Jin Jizang, they are all Jizo Bodhisattvas. ”

Zhao Wan'er and a few people, although they didn't quite understand what Li Bing said, were also amazed,

Unconsciously, several people came to the front of the Nai He Bridge, the legend is that the deceased is here, the guilty ghost will be pushed into the blood river pool by the bull head and horse face on both sides to suffer the torture of insects, ants and poisonous snakes, and the deceased who does good deeds can cross the bridge safely, this Nai He Bridge is the place where the ghost in folklore is ready to be reincarnated after the trial of the Ten Palaces of Yama, there is a Meng Po by the bridge, she will give each ghost who crosses the bridge to drink a bowl of Meng Po soup to forget the memory of the previous life, so as to be reincarnated in the next life,

To the side of the Nai He Bridge, the visitors pilgrims will throw paper money or copper plates into the Lethe River, and sprinkle the fried rice into the Lethe River, do good and give to the hungry ghosts to accumulate good karma, the visitors also basically like to walk from the Nai He Bridge, take the meaning that they have walked through this bridge before their death, and they can avoid the pain of crossing the Nai River Bridge after death,

What a bridge, what about the parting of the previous life, what about the meeting in this life, but the reunion of the helpless next life,

Nai He Bridge is a bluestone bridge deck, five steps, the west of the bridge is female, the east of the bridge is male, the left yin and the right yang, 'if anyone dies at the age of ninety-seven, wait three years on the bridge', in fact, the thousand years of looking back, the hundred years of agreement, are because of the Nai He Bridge drank Meng Po soup, maybe the relationship between husband and wife in this life, began in Si, the fate broke here,

Zhao Wan'er, who was originally cheerful and lively, was a little depressed at this time, and said faintly: "Li Bing, the five of us will die in the future, and no one is allowed to drink the soup of Meng Po, we must remember everyone forever." ”

Everyone was silent, deeply moved by Zhao Wan'er's kind heart,

Several people looked back almost at the same time, staring at the Nai He Bridge they had just crossed,

After passing through the Jade Emperor Palace, everyone knelt down and worshiped the Jade Emperor, the main god of the Three Realms, and then came to the Hall of Hundred Sons.

In the hall of the hundred sons is the middle of the enshrinement is Guanyin Bodhisattva, the right riding lion is Manjushri Bodhisattva, the left riding the six-tusked white elephant is the Puxian Bodhisattva, the two sides of the sculpture of twelve round Jue, the back wall of the sculpture Tang Seng went to the west to learn the scriptures and experienced the scene of eighty-one difficulties,

Beside the door, the statue of the protector god Veda and a group of ancestors and grandchildren of three generations, pilgrims enter the incense here, thank the Buddha and Bodhisattva for blessing the smooth and safe birth of hundreds of women, and bless the healthy growth of hundreds of children.

When he came to the Hall of Impermanence, Zhang Yuanshan was in awe of the fierce-looking black and white impermanence, and worshiped and worshipped.

There are two statues of black impermanence and white impermanence in the palace of impermanence, the black impermanence green clothes and green hats, caracal eyes and teeth, fierce appearance, high hat with the words 'the world is peaceful', which makes people frightened, he carries an iron chain, and specializes in arresting the wicked people in the world,

And the white impermanence is a white coat and white hat, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, full of smiles, and the high hat says 'Fortune at first sight', which makes people feel kind and approachable, and he shakes a fan to welcome the soul of the good man back to the underworld.

Zhang Yuanshan worshiped black and white impermanence, and read in his mouth: "Once there is impermanence, the sword tree and the sword mountain will not let go, black and white impermanence, catch good and evil, ghosts and people, there is also good and evil." ”

After kneeling and worshipping the third Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, everyone walked through the ghost gate, stepped on the Huangquan Road, and came to the Wangxiang platform.

It is said that after the death of a person, before the ghost went to the underworld to report, he was very concerned about his relatives in the Yang world, although the ghost was severely urged and reprimanded, he still forcibly climbed the Wangxiang platform, and finally looked at his hometown from afar, cried loudly, and then went to the underworld with a dead heart.

As the so-called "ghosts on the Wangxiang platform are in a hurry, looking at the eyes and tears, wives and children are on the side, and relatives and friends gather in the mourning hall." ”

Several people have mixed feelings in their hearts, lamenting the impermanence of life and the shortness of life.

After traveling through many landscapes such as the Hades Palace, the Yin and Yang Realm, the Eighteen-Layer Hell and the God of Wealth Temple, it was not early, and everyone left the scenic spot and returned to the hotel.

Looking at the busy street scene, a group of five people, the mood gradually relaxed, and swept away the spiritual shock brought by the miserable horror of traveling through the ghost town.

Li Bing said to himself: "Could it be that on this trip, even if we have already understood the meaning of the 'land' in the three talents?" ”

Zhang Yuanshan shook his head and said: "In my opinion, it's unlikely, that character is still unsolved, how can it be possible to pass the level of the ground first, and then talk about the ghost town attractions, which are also artificially built according to folklore, to solve this place character, I don't think it's that simple, Li Bing, you see if the other three red dots on your chest have disappeared, don't you know the answer." ”

Li Bing realized, and hurriedly pulled open his shirt, revealing his chest, but saw the three red dots in his eyes.

Everyone was disappointed, Zhao Wan'er and Shi Liya had just returned to their room, but they heard the door of the room knock three times,
