Chapter 500: Why Are You So Interested in the Underworld?

"Isn't it said that there are words written on the ghost gate closed, and there are many ghost generals guarding it? Why haven't we seen any ghost generals here?" Everyone did not rush forward, on the contrary, Wu Di and Goatee really wanted to go to Wangxiang Terrace to see what their hometown was like now.

And Feng Yichen also has the same idea. He wanted to know how the Feng family was doing now, and what kind of strength it was. He is an outcast who came out of the Feng family, although he doesn't have much impression of the Feng family in his mind, but Feng Yichen feels that if he goes up to look at the platform, he should see the Feng family, right?

"Xiao Wuzi, tell me, what's so strange about this ghost gate, Buddha, I want to know how fierce this ghost gate is!" Seeing that everyone was looking at the township platform from afar, and they all wanted to go up to see it, Siddhartha asked.

"You want to take me to pass the time again?" Wu Di was speechless for a while, but when he saw the ghosts that couldn't disperse for a long time, he knew that if he wanted to go up, he had to lean over slowly, and wait for the ghosts above to come down and make room for him to go up. For a while, Wu Di was a little depressed, where did this come from so many souls? Could it be that they all died on the same day, the same month, and the same year?

However, despite his dissatisfaction, Wu Di still met Siddhartha's request and talked about some things about the ghost gate.

Legend has it that the Ghost Gate Pass is a necessary checkpoint to enter the underworld of the underworld. Whoever comes here must be checked to see if they have a prefectural pass. The so-called road guide, to put it bluntly, is actually whether the dead air on this soul is really dead or not, if the sleepwalking soul wanders here, it will not be allowed to enter.

Legend has it that the Ghost Gate Pass is an archway. The three big characters of "Ghost Gate" are written on it. Legend has it that it is the second checkpoint for people to report to the Netherworld after death. On both sides, there are eighteen ghost kings and little ghosts guarding the door. Strict barriers, copper walls and iron walls. Unbreakable. No matter which of the dead comes here. It must be checked to see if there is a pass. This pass is the "road guide".

Of course, there are also legends that Lu Yin is not simply dead. There is a legend that the road guide is the certificate for the soul of a person to report to the underworld after death. On this yellow paper, which is three feet long and two feet wide, it is printed with "Sending a guide to the Emperor Yama, the son of heaven in Fengdu" and "People in the world must have this introduction in order to be reincarnated and ascend to heaven in Fengdu Difu", and it is also stamped with three seals of "Lord Yama", "Lord Chenghuang" and "Lord of Fengdu County". When a person dies, he burns it, and the soul of the dead takes it to the gate of the ghost gate, and after it is verified, it is found to be correct. to enter the customs. Of course, this kind of guide is not something that casual people have after death, because this thing is made of yellow paper.

Yellow paper is also paper money burned to the dead. When burning paper money, they will take a copper plate or a copper plate print on the yellow paper to mark a series of copper coins and words, according to legend, these words and copper coins will become a guide after burning to the dead.

Within the Ghost Gate, there is a palace, which is the so-called Upper Ladder. There is the Temple of Impermanence. Inner plastic impermanence, impermanence Niangniang and Baoshan King. Legend has it that impermanence is the difference between catching the souls of the dead in the underworld, and there are many stories of impermanence circulating in the old days. King Baoshan. It is a mountain god who is in charge of fierce beasts in the mountains and protects the safety of people and animals. The ghost gate is closed before the plastic "Yin Cao Difu" door pavilion, the right side of the tree is a stele, the official book "this Hades is also!" four big characters, from the "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei". On both sides of the door, the eighteen images of the ghost king are hideous and weird, lifelike, which makes people feel eerie and terrifying.

Legend has it that only good people can buy it, but evil people can't buy it. That's why there is a saying of ghosts and wild ghosts in fashion, and most of these lonely ghosts and wild ghosts are because they have done too many evil things in their lives or are helpless people.

In front of the ghost gate, there are 16 newly carved ghosts, and it is said that a group of evil ghosts specially selected by the king of Yama came to this town and mountain to check the gates. They were extremely harsh and strict in their investigation of the undead ghosts with bad deeds and unreformed malignancy, so that no one could get through the test in confusion. This group of stone carvings embodies the theme of "punishing evil and promoting good" and "good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil" of ghost town folk culture, revealing the rich humanistic spirit contained in ghost town folk culture. It combines realism and exaggeration and creates a vivid artistic image according to the requirements of the public's aesthetic psychology, rendering and highlighting the unique cultural atmosphere of the ghost town, with outstanding image personality, vivid demeanor, novel modeling, and a certain visual impact.

Huangquan Road, on the other hand, is the road that refers to the road taken when a person reports to the underworld after death. In China, legend has it that after death, the soul of the underworld will be captured by the black and white impermanence of the underworld, and they will be brought to the underworld to be judged by the chief judge of the underworld, King Yama, to decide whether they will ascend to heaven and become immortals, or be reincarnated as a human being, or go to the eighteen layers of hell to suffer. The human soul has to walk a long way to report to the underworld and pass many passes; Huangquan Road is a general term for these passes and journeys, and the other refers specifically to a section of this journey called Huangquan Road.

Some people believe that people will die when they reach their yang life, this is a normal death, and people who die normally must first pass through the ghost gate, and after this pass, people's souls will become ghosts, and then Huangquan Road, which is the road to lead.

There are still many lonely souls and wild ghosts on the Huangquan Road, they are those who have not died normally, they can not go to heaven, nor can they be reincarnated, let alone go to the underworld, they can only wander on the Huangquan Road, waiting for Shouyang to arrive before they can report to the underworld and listen to the fate of the king of Yama.

On Huangquan Road, there are fiery red flowers. The flower is generally believed to be the flower that grows along the Santu River. There are a large number of flowers blooming, from a distance it looks like a carpet paved with blood, and because of its red fire, it is called the "road of fire", and it is also the only scenery and color on this long yellow spring road. Floral legends have magical powers that evoke memories of the deceased. Next, you have to cross the Lechuan River, Nai He Bridge, cross the Sansheng Stone, drink Meng Po soup and so on.

"No, you wait a while......" Everyone slowly leaned towards the lookout, but at this time, Siddhartha suddenly stopped Wu Di, he looked at Wu Di in confusion, and asked: "Then I talked for a long time, is the place where we just came in a ghost gate?

"Of course it is! Originally, everyone didn't know what the ghost gate was like, everything was a legend. The so-called legend, if you believe it, there are things that you don't believe in, so why do you care so much?" Wu Di was suspicious in his heart, looked at Siddhartha with a serious face, and asked, "I wonder, why are you so interested in this underworld?" (To be continued......)
