Looking at the remnant sun that was gradually sinking in the west, Li Bing's heart was full of excitement, and he pondered: "Sancai may not be a calamity, but let him experience Taoist theory, just an experience of the state of mind, wine, sex, wealth, and qi, now that I have understood that this is the four realms of human mentality, I understand the first one, and the latter three are naturally not difficult." ”

When a few people were chatting excitedly and walking back, a big red bird suddenly flew in the woods not far away, circled three times above everyone's heads, flew straight south, and disappeared into the sky.

Li Bing was so strange in his heart that he blurted out: "Isn't this red bird very much like a vermilion bird, how could it suddenly appear and fly so high." ”

Zhang Yuanshan also felt quite strange and said: "That's right, this should be Suzaku, is it hinting at us something." ”

The five of them couldn't think of anything for a while, Zhao Wan'er couldn't bear it, she opened her mouth and said: "Li Bing, now we have understood what the meaning of 'wine' means according to the hints of the four words of wine, sex, wealth, and qi, what to do with the following three words, do we take the initiative to go out to find clues, or continue to wait in that small hotel bored." ”

Shi Liya suddenly had an idea, she stopped and said, "Li Bing, I think we should pack our bags and leave Qianxian immediately." ”

Li Bing asked strangely: "Sister Shi, how do you say this, have you realized something?" ”

Shi Liya said softly: "Aren't you surprised that Suzaku suddenly appeared at this time, I'm thinking, it must be giving us some enlightenment, everyone knows that this three talents, because of the main yin of Qianling, so we have reversed to comprehend, not heaven, earth, and people, but people, earth, and heaven." ”

"Now one of the four red dots on Li Bing's body has disappeared, which shows that our judgment is not wrong, then, after the word 'human' is cracked, the next target is 'land', I just said not long ago, this 'land' does not refer to the ghost city of Fengdu, but to the Tibetan Bodhisattva Dojo in Jiuhua Mountain, Anhui."

"Now that Suzaku has appeared, I'm guessing that Suzaku has circled around our heads three times, which should mean that we are interested in cracking wine, sex, wealth, and gas, and the remaining three words are a hint, maybe next time, we will be able to directly appreciate those three realms in one fell swoop, so as to pass the level of the word 'human'."

Shi Liya observed that the other four people were listening carefully, and nodded slightly, and she was even more assertive in her heart, she said a little proudly: "Suzaku flew south, and flew so high, and disappeared into the clouds, then, I thought, Suzaku is hinting that we should stay away from Qianxian and go to the south, the south of Qianxian is located in the ghost city of Fengdu in Chongqing, so I think we should set off to the ghost town of Fengdu overnight." ”

Several people looked at each other and felt that Shi Liya's words were quite reasonable,

Especially Zhao Wan'er, when she heard Shi Liya propose that the next destination was the famous ghost town of Fengdu, she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart, and cheered,

Li Bing hesitated and said: "Sister Shi is right, but before we have solved the other three words, it seems inappropriate to go to the ghost town first." ”

When Shi Liya heard this, she thought of her past for a while, and she was full of sorrow, gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "Not necessarily all the ghosts in the ghost city, ghosts are reincarnated as people, and people become ghosts after death, how can there be so many differences between people and ghosts, not to mention that this world is hot and cold, people's hearts are not ancient, lies, hypocrisy, fraud, violence, evil and countless other ugly things are full of people's hearts, and most people's hearts are not as good as ghosts." ”

Li Bing was stunned, although he didn't know that Shi Liya was inspired by it, he was greatly inspired.

Li Bing thought for a while, smiled and said to Shi Liya: "Sister Shi, you are so right, just now my brain was too stubborn, and I didn't change it for a while, yes, this ghost city of Fengdu is a city on earth, but it is an ancient legend, it is a place where the yang world and the yin are combined, and it has become a ghost town in various folklore, it seems that Sister Shi's conjecture is not far from the truth, then okay, let's set off overnight and go to the ghost city of Fengdu." ”

When a few people were having dinner, Qian Yiduo tested the off-road vehicle and checked the condition of the car.

Zhao Wan'er couldn't hold it back for a long time, urging a few people, everyone liked Zhao Wan'er, and humbly gave her up, and they all agreed to her request with a smile,

A group of five people, packed up their luggage, retreated from the room, took an off-road vehicle, rushed from Qianxian County to Xi'an overnight, all the way at high speed, after passing through Chongqing, the next evening, finally arrived at the famous ghost city of Fengdu,

In Fengdu County, a few people ate a local snack, and then found a clean and elegant three-star hotel to stay.

After settling down, Zhao Wan'er couldn't suppress the curiosity and awe of this ghost town in her heart, and asked Shi Liya, who lived in the same room: "Sister Shi, isn't this a very beautiful small county town, how did it become a ghost town." ”

Shi Liya smiled and said: "Ghost City, also known as the ghost country Youdu, the origin of its name, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty Taoist master Ge Hong Ge Tianshi has a deep origin, Ge Tianshi wrote a book, called "The Legend of the Immortals", which records that in the Han Dynasty there were two monks who practiced Dan and cultivated immortals, one was called Yin Changsheng, and the other was called Wang Fangping, and the two had cultivated into immortals on Pingdu Mountain in Fengdu. ”

"Taoist disciples worship Yin Changsheng and Wang Fangping as the heavenly master, so they set up the Heavenly Master Temple on the Pingdu Mountain in Fengdu, and listed it as one of the '36 caves of heaven, 72 blessed land', and the descendants attached the surnames of Perineum Changsheng and Wang Fangping together as 'Yin King', that is, the king of the underworld, that is, the commonly known King of Yama."

"The residence of the Yin King is the ghost country, also known as the ghost capital, more people like to call it a ghost city, through the Ming and Qing Dynasty novels such as "Journey to the West", "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", "Yue Quan Biography", "Zhong Kui Biography" and so on, it has increased the world's curiosity about Fengdu, but also made the ghost city of Fengdu feel more mysterious and grotesque in the eyes of the world."

"The author's implicit criticism of the society at that time, in the name of the ghost town of Fengdu, created a hierarchical underworld, which integrates arrest, detention, trial, judgment, and education functions in one furnace, and punishes those who committed adultery before their deaths, which makes the vast number of poor people in the world at least gain a psychological balance and comfort, therefore, the reputation of the ghost city of Fengdu is even more far-reaching."

Zhao Wan'er looked at Shi Liya, who was knowledgeable in literature and history, with admiration, and more curiosity and awe of the ghost town.

Shi Liya thought of her life situation, and couldn't help but sigh: "Fengdu ghost city is a netherworld built by people with imagination, built with a series of underworld institutions such as the Hades Palace, the Ghost Gate Pass, the Yin and Yang Realm, and the eighteen-layer hell, and the images of ghosts and gods in each level are varied, grandiose and strange, and the torture instruments are terrifying, chilling, but unfortunately, these are the imagination of mortals, if there is really such a real ghost city, it would be great, it can punish evil and promote good." ”

Zhao Wan'er was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Sister Shi, what's wrong with you, although there are many ugly phenomena in this world, after all, it is still very beautiful, why are you suddenly so sad, and you yearn for a real ghost town." ”
