Chapter 488: You Pit Me!
Wu Di suddenly paused when he said this, he swallowed his saliva, and his mouth was really dry after saying so much. But when everyone was on the rise, seeing that Wu Di paused at the critical moment, they couldn't help urging him to hurry up.
Seeing this, Wu Di was helpless for a while, took out the kettle from the storage bag, and poured a few sips of water before continuing: "King Yama listened and was silent. In the evening, he took off his official robe, put on civilian clothes, and came to the cliff to secretly investigate, and when he saw that Zhong Kui's words were true, he felt impatient and restless, and he was silent for several days, and he didn't think ......about tea and dinner."
"It seems that this Hades is also a man of true temperament, but doesn't he have any helpers by his side, why doesn't anyone give him advice?"
"Don't worry, I'm not talking, don't interrupt me!" Wu Di's story was immediately finished, and when Siddhartha interrupted again, he couldn't help but be dissatisfied. Seeing this, Siddhartha stuck out his tongue and said that he would not intervene again, and Wu Di continued.
Seeing this, the judge was very worried, and suggested: "If you can let the souls of the dead in the underworld meet their relatives in the yang world."
King Yama's eyes lit up, and he suddenly opened his mouth, and said with great joy: "You are right, the idea is to let them meet their relatives, but it will be their longing suffering!"
The king of Yama immediately convened the military generals of the prefecture to discuss and decided to build a "lookout platform" to let the soul of Yin Cao look at his hometown and relatives from afar.
Since then, the cry of the ghost has disappeared, and at the top of the famous mountain in Fengdu, there is one more lookout platform next to the Son of Heaven Palace, with a high winding railing, majestic and magnificent, towering in the clouds. Every year in the first and second months of the incense meeting, the incense here is particularly prosperous, and the pilgrims gather. Some pilgrims burn incense and pray at this platform. to meet with deceased parents, relatives and friends. Legend has it that this is the place where the souls of the dead meet their loved ones at home.
"Interesting. Feng Yichen groaned when he heard this. The Ancient Continent lacked too many things compared to the plane where Wu Di was. Now when I hear Wu Di talk about these things, I can't help but yearn for it. And Wu Di saw that Feng Yichen was interested in continuing to listen, so he told another story. And this story is also related to this lookout.
According to legend, there are twin brothers among the people, the big one is called Ge Spear, and the small one is called Ge Dun. Although the brothers were born to one child, their personalities are diametrically opposed. Ge Mao is idle all day long, and he does not do his job. provoked the villagers to be unhappy, and there were always people suing him every once in a while, which was daunting and looked sideways.
On the other hand, Ge Dun is completely different from the big brother Ge Spear. Ge Dun has a good appearance, clear eyebrows, mild temperament, generous manners, has been fond of calligraphy, chess, piano and painting since he was a child, and won the first place at the age of nineteen, which is very enviable.
For the sake of Ge Dun, the common people always have a little humility to Ge Mao. At noon one day in the early summer when they were forty-seven years old, there was a sudden thunderstorm, thunder, and wind and rain. After the thunder, someone noticed that Ge Mao suddenly foamed at the mouth, and no one reacted. He died in the streets. Ge Dun has been an official outside for many years, and he cried bitterly after rushing back from thousands of miles away.
Because his brother did a lot of hurtful things in his lifetime, Ge Dun actually cried to death on the street, maybe this is the will of God! It just so happened that the black and white ghosts under the city god, commonly known as "black and white impermanence", patrolled the world and met these two brothers. They have long hair, long red tongues, and hideous faces. They held soul hooking tokens and chains, hooked the souls of the two to the City God Temple, after the "Liucao" judge checked, the two of them have reached the end of their longevity, because Ge Mao has done many evil things in his life, and is judged to be a bad ghost;
Legend has it that after their deaths, they all stayed on the "Wangxiang Platform" for three days to look back at the beautiful world they had fought all their lives, and finally look at their hometowns, and observe the performance of their children and grandchildren and relatives after their deaths, to distinguish the authenticity of "filial piety and family affection". Legend has it that Ge Mao regretted what he had done before his death, and was still secretly crying in the "Wangxiangtai", but it was too late.
On the third day, the six Cao judges sent the good and evil materials of the two people to the "Fengdu Ghost City" with their souls in the form of documents, and handed them over to the Lord of Yama to be punished according to law, which is what people now call "burning paper". That is, on the second watch of the third night, the "Soul Ceremony" will be held, and the ghosts will be sent to the "Fengdu Ghost City", that is, "Fengdu Mansion". The celebrant holds the soul-attracting lantern to lead the way, the filial son supports them, the adobe and the mourning stick that have been pillowed before the burial are led by the relatives and friends, and their relatives and friends also burn incense and cry to accompany them, and there are also drums and lamentations to send each other, and some paper money is thrown along the road to beat the ghosts and scatter the spirits, which is called "buying the road fee" in the era when Wu Di lived.
According to legend, before the funeral, the deceased also drank the ecstasy soup boiled by Meng Po of the "Meng Po Pavilion", which guarded the last pass of the underworld, and after drinking this soup, he would forget all kinds of trivial things in his life. Meng Po also kicked the dead violently to make them remember that "good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil". On the day of the funeral, the corpse should be followed along the route of "burning paper" to the cemetery, and the corpse and soul will accompany after burial.
Listening to Wu Di talk about this, Feng Yichen and others gained a lot, although I don't know if what Wu Di said helped them on this trip, but it is always good to have more knowledge. Moreover, Wu Di's description of their plane, the blue planet, had trumped everything, and although they knew that the environment there was not suitable for cultivation, everyone still had the idea of going and taking a look.
This idea also made Wu Di very excited, you must know that after being away from his hometown for more than 20 years, Wu Di does not want to return to his hometown all the time, where there are the soul bones of his parents, the waiting of his friends, and the homeland, the water of his hometown, the clouds of his hometown, every point and drop of his hometown!
Seeing that everyone's expressions were not a joke, Goatee was also interested, he tried his best to invite everyone to the earth as guests, and said that he would make more tables of delicious food for them, but the second half of the sentence attracted everyone's collective retching, because Goatee's cooking skills are really not flattering, it is not difficult to swallow at all, it is simply difficult to see!
"We want to live a few more years, so you might as well stay away from the table. Siddhartha glanced at his goatee and said, "I think some people are born without a stove." It's not that this person's life is good, but this person's brain is really stupid enough, think about it, how can a person who doesn't even know how to do firewood, rice, oil and salt live!"
"Damn, it's like you're good at cooking!"
"That's natural, Buddha I can't do anything else, I'm definitely good at cooking!"
"Since you are so good at cooking, then all the rations in the future will be handed over to you, and you have to be full!"
"You're cheating me!" (To be continued......)
