The nameless old monk closed his eyes, put his hands together, and recited a Buddha name: "Amitabha, Li Shizhu is a person who is destined for my Buddha, with a deep foundation, the donor has been illuminated by the Buddha's light, and with the power of six relics, sleepwalking in hell, the ghosts cannot be injured." ”

Zhao Wan'er whispered: "Master, Brother Li has also obtained the two true qi of Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu, and no ghost or evil can hurt him." ”

The nameless old monk smiled silently, Shi Liya quietly pulled Zhao Wan'er's shirt and said: "Wan'er, this is the pure land of Buddhism, and the vermilion bird and Xuanwu qi are the true qi of Taoism." ”

Zhao Wan'er understood and immediately fell silent,

Li Bing put his hands together and asked the nameless old monk: "Master, the kid has something unclear, and he has never understood the relationship between the Ten Halls of Yama and the Eighteen Hells, please give me advice." ”

The nameless old monk said lightly: "The folk say that the king of Yama is the common name for the ten halls of Yama, the head 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 king of Song, the king of the pestle, the king of Yama, the king of Biancheng, the king of Taishan, the king of the city, the king of equality, and the king of the wheel. ”

"After the death of a mortal, after the soul enters the ghost gate, a person who has been good all his life, if his merits are immeasurable, he can be examined by the kings of several halls of Hades, and even without examination, he can be reborn in Western Bliss or reincarnated as a human being, and if he is a wicked person, he will be judged by the kings of the ten halls of Hades, and according to the severity of the evil deeds committed in the yang world, he will be sent to the relevant hell to be tortured."

"Some people, those who have slightly less serious yang crimes, after being punished by one or two hells, can get out of hell and enter the six realms of reincarnation, those who have committed great sins can be tortured through several hells, and those who have committed great sins can be tortured in the eighteen hells and enter the infernal hells, and they cannot be reincarnated forever."

Zhao Wan'er asked infinitely humbly at this time: "Master, I often hear about the six realms of reincarnation, can you please tell the master in detail what the six realms of reincarnation are." ”

The nameless old monk said indifferently: "The Six Daoists: First, the Heavenly Dao; 2. The Way of the World; 3. The Shura Path; Fourth, the animal road; 5. Hungry Ghost Road; 6. The path of hell, also known as the six pleasures, the six realms or the six realms of reincarnation, is the path of reincarnation of sentient beings, and 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, everything has karma, and those who can enter the reincarnation of the three good paths are greater than their bad karma; Those who have entered the reincarnation of the three evil realms, because their negative karma is heavier than their good karma, all sentient beings who have been immersed in segmented birth and death will not have the path of reincarnation out of the six realms. ”

Li Bing suddenly realized and nodded,

The old monk motioned for Li Bing to clean his hands in a basin of clear water placed in the corner of the door, and then he pointed to another futon and asked Li Bing to sit cross-legged, close his eyes and abandon distracting thoughts, and meditate on the underworld.

Li Bing did as he said, the old monk lit a pour of incense, inserted it into the incense burner, and told everyone not to make noise, all sat around Li Bing, waiting for a branch of incense to burn out, Li Bing traveled through hell and returned,

The old monk shouted: "Om, don't go now, when will you stay." ”

The old monk's yellow robe flicked his sleeves, and Li Bing suddenly looked like a wooden man, motionless,

Li Bing felt that he was suddenly floating in the air, and there was nothing around, only that six golden rays of light burst out in his body.

A majestic city gate suddenly appeared, the wind gusted, the clouds were miserable, Li Bing knew in his heart, this was the ghost gate of the Netherworld, he was curious, and suddenly saw eighteen hideous ghosts appear in the clouds, with many little ghosts, and they actually bowed down to themselves,

Li Bing was stunned, and then he understood that it was the eighteen ghost kings and the ghost guards who guarded the ghost gate, and they were not worshipping themselves, but the relics of the six monks in their bodies.

Originally, only on the fourteenth night of the lunar calendar, that is, on the eve of the Ghost Festival, the ghost gate could be opened, but at this time, the two heavy city gates suddenly opened.

In the gloomy clouds, one black and one white, respectfully saluted Li Bing, Li Bing knew that this was the impermanence of black and white that hooked the soul.

Black and white impermanence said in unison: "On the order of the Jizo Bodhisattva, please Li Bingmeng to go through the Ten Halls of Yama." ”

Li Bing was in his hair, and suddenly a grand but gloomy palace appeared in front of him.

Li Bing looked at the palace curiously, and suddenly found that there was a high platform about one zhang high on the side of the palace, and a mirror made of unknown materials 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,

Li Bing knew in his heart that this was what Fan Zhengping had told him about the evil mirror platform after returning to Yang.

When he stepped forward to look at it curiously, black and white impermanence bowed down and said: "Li Bing, this mirror is the ghost who did evil in his life and his crimes in life after he came, you are a Buddha, and your life is not over, and you are not evil, you don't need to look at this mirror, please come with us into the temple." ”

Li Bing asked quietly: "Two impermanent elder brothers, the first hall is King Qin Guang. ”

Black and white impermanence replied: "Yes, King Qin Guang's surname is Jiang, in charge of the first hall of the Yin Division, all good people live on the end of their lives, that is, there is a guide to the death, where the men and women who hook up the merits and two equals, send the tenth hall to distribute, still cast into the world, or men to women, or women to men, compete with the rich and poor, and repay each other with grievances." ”

"Whoever was evil in his life, he was escorted to the soul of many evils, first went to the mirror of evil to take his sins, saw the danger of his heart in the world, and the danger of dying to hell, and then he knew that ten thousand taels of gold could not be brought, and only sin was carried with him in his life.

Li Bing followed the black and white impermanence and floated into the first hall of Yama, only to see a plaque hanging above, with five big characters written on it: King Qin Guang of the First Palace,

Under the plaque, a public case is placed, and a person sits on it, 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.

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

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, he will go to the soul by black and white impermanence, it is true: the king of Hades told you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep people to the fifth watch,

On the right side of King Qin Guang stood a bull's head and a horse's face holding an iron chain, and a group of ghosts knelt in front of the desk, some stood, and some knelt on the ground and were chained to their collarbones.

Seeing Li Bing entering from outside the palace, King Qin Guang shouted: "Who dares to trespass into the underworld, this king is the first palace of the underworld, King Jiang of Qin Guang, who is in charge of the book of life and death in the world. ”

Li Bing was shocked, trembling and before he could speak, the red-clothed judge on the right side of the case leaned down and said: "The king, the person of His Royal Highness, is not a ghost, but a guest invited by the Jizo Bodhisattva. ”

King Qin Guang changed his voice just now, and said to Li Bing with a pleasant face: "It turns out that you are Li Bing, on the order of the Bodhisattva of the Earth, you are beside His Highness, watch me judge the rights and wrongs of the Yang world, and judge the Yin Division fairly." ”
