Chapter 11: Wangqiong Tower (Part II)

"All things that belong to the Eight Realms must come to me after death to sign in and draw a charge, and then reincarnate after checking that they are correct." Xue Youdao.

Entering the tower, I saw a big Taiji diagram in the middle, and the creatures that came in from the eight gates gathered into a team and walked down from the hole in the eyes of the black fish. A beam of light fell from the top of the tower and shone directly into the eye of the white fish, and a wooden ladder stretched from the fish's eye to the ground, and upwards swirled around the beam, and various creatures were coming up from the stairs underground. In front of the wooden ladder there were two giants five feet high, one of the giants was reaching out and grabbing the lower half of a creature, dipping its head in a wooden barrel, and after dipping it to the other giant, the other giant took it and puffed out his cheeks to blow on the head of the creature, and then placed it on the stairs. The creatures that have gone through this process have dull eyes, and just say, "I am an elephant......." The various creatures on the stairs climbed up the stairs one after another, each chanting a word, and there was no sound at all.

Xue You led the way, from the eyes of the black fish to the underground, this look suddenly opened up, the length and width of the hall were five hundred steps each, all of them were copper walls and iron walls, and the ground was bluestone slabs. The lights are bright, and thousands of small officials are busy and abnormal, verifying the good and evil of the wandering spirit. The killer will be a mayfly in the next life, and he will die at night; The robbers were slaughtered as sheep and pigs; The promiscuous are cranes and eagles, and they do not leave the run; Those with poisonous tongues are cursed as owls and owls; Those who do not repay their debts are mules, donkeys, cattle and horses, and they are tired all their lives.

I saw a large number of wandering spirits receiving a small mirror in turn, and then standing against the wall, or sitting on the ground, or climbing a beam, some wiping tears while watching, some screaming, and some rolling on the ground .......

"What they look at is called the 'Mirror of the Past Life', and what appears in it is the important scenes of their lives, and they can quickly see it in a moment or three." Xue You said, "After reading it, I will go to the black and white impermanence to survey the afterlife, and then draw a charge." ”

Seeing that Sun Li was puzzled, Xue You waved his hand, and the bamboo servant understood, and brought a sea cucumber and a person's soul to the guests in the past.

"Sea cucumber, can you finish watching the images of your past life? If you have any demands now, you can come quickly. "Bamboo servant said.

"I was timid by nature, and I was afraid of being hurt, so I deliberately looked black and swarthy, and I did not hesitate to vomit out my internal organs in case of danger in order to escape for my life. But even so, it is still difficult to escape human predation. "So in the next life, I want to be a poisonous snake, so that other things will be afraid when they see me, especially if people see me so scared that I pee my pants." ”

Xue You pondered for a moment and said, "This request is not excessive, allow you to be reincarnated as a rattlesnake." If you were made into braised sea cucumber in your previous life and eaten by six people, then you will bite to death at most six people in your next life, and if you bite one more person, you will be beaten to death. If you agree, you make a contract. ”

Sea cusstober said: "Thank you, my lord, this handling is very fair, I am willing to sign a contract." ”

The bamboo maid added to the sea cucumber: "Go upstairs and line upstairs, follow the wooden ladder to the top of the tower, and remember to shout 'I am a poisonous snake' when you jump into the 'reincarnation well'. ”

Zhao Qian said to Sun Li: "Didn't you say that you want to cross the Nai He Bridge and drink Meng Po soup to forget the memories of your previous life." ”

Sun Li whispered: "I haven't died either, I don't know what the formal process is like." ”

The bamboo servant said, "Did you see two giants working on it just now?" ”

Zhao Gan said: "Do you mean the person who treats people as green onions, dips them in sauce, and blows candy again?" ”

The bamboo servant said: "That bucket is filled with 'forgetfulness water', dip the head of the living soul in it and then dry it, and forget all about the situation in the previous life, and there are a few people who have not blown the 'forgetfulness water' on the top of their head will vaguely remember the things of the previous life." ”

Sun Li said: "No wonder some people feel déjà vu when they see something or go to a certain place, it turns out that this is the case." ”

Zhao Qian said: "Where did that 'forgetful water' come from?" Do you have sufficient supply? Do you need me to cooperate with you, our family is very strong in the local area. ”

Sun Li said: "Brother Zhao, you forgot where this is, why do you dare to do business here?" ”

Zhao Gan said: "Brother Sun's words are wrong, as the saying goes, 'money can make ghosts grind', as long as the profit is considerable, who to do business with is not to do business." Besides, I have seen a lot of poor ghosts, and I am not afraid. ”

The bamboo maid listened to him a little crooked, and couldn't help laughing: "The origin of this 'forgetful water' is not complicated, there is a flagpole at the top of our tower, there is a horizontal log at the top of the flagpole, and there is a wooden barrel at each end of the horizontal wood, called the 'good and evil' bucket, but where there are evil deeds in the world, the 'evil' bucket will add a drop of water; Once a month, two buckets of water are poured into a large wooden barrel and blended once. ”

Zhao Gan said: "In this way, the proportion of good and evil in the 'Forgetful Water' is not necessarily very even. ”

The bamboo servant said: "Originally, good and evil water were like yin and yang, and they were mutually dependent and mutually exterminating, which was about the same, but in recent years, there has been more bad water than good water. ”

Zhao Qian said: "So what? ”

The bamboo servant said: "In this way, the memories of the past life are washed away, and the evil thoughts left behind gradually increase. ”

Sun Lidao: "If you go on like this, if you are reincarnated with evil thoughts, the world will not be full of evil, and good thoughts will get worse and worse. ”

The bamboo maid said: "That's exactly what I said. ”

Sun Li and Zhao Qianzheng were thoughtful. Xue You said to "people": "You have also reviewed your previous life experience, do you have anything to say?" ”

"People" said: "The villain's name is 'Zhou Taisheng', I am too busy and tired in this life, and I am greedy for too many things." I want to have what others don't have, and I want more to have what others have. When I was young, I wanted toys when I saw them, and I wanted them to be nice and delicious. I have to have children, tickets, children, and seats when I become adults. When I don't have money, I lie to myself that those things are dispensable, and when I have money, I enjoy it desperately, I can eat and drink...... My wife didn't die, I married a few concubines for myself like a high-ranking official and a nobleman......"

"So what do you want to be in your next life?" Xue You asked.

"Be a turtle, be at ease." Zhou Taisheng replied.

"This is not good," Xue You said, "In your previous life, you were too greedy, and after turning from poor to rich, you ate more and occupied more, indulged in enjoyment, and did not seek progress." Punish you as a 'scorpion' in the next life. ”

"What is a 'scorpion'?" Zhao Qian asked.

"The book says, 'The scorpion is good at the worm.'" When encountering things, they will take them and bear them. The heavier the back, the more sleepy the drama is. His back is very astringent, and the accumulation of things does not disperse, and he is a servant, and he cannot get up. People may pity them, in order to remove their burdens. If you can do it, you can do it, and you will take it as before. It's so high, it's extremely powerful. to the ground and die. Sun Li replied.

Zhao Qian said: "Old Sun, you obviously know that I can't read well, and you dropped my book bag here, right?" ”

Sun Lidao: "In short, this kind of insect likes to carry everything it touches on its body, and finally exhausts itself to death." ”

"The little brother is very knowledgeable, and what he says is very true." Xue You said with a smile, "As the saying goes, it's good to show off your laundry, like mud and blank, if you read well, you won't be bad at doing other things." Hahahaha......"

Sun Li had no choice but to smile bitterly twice, and Xue You said: "The two of you can visit casually, and you can ask at any time if you are interested." ”

Sun Li said to Zhao Gan: "It seems that here, the assistant good and evil, can be the difference between life and death, but it is a very important place. ”

Zhao Qian said: "I'm wondering, is there anyone who doesn't want to be reincarnated anymore, and wants to stay here because it's troublesome?" ”

The bamboo maid said, "I'll take you to meet someone." ”

The bamboo servant took Sun Li and Zhao Qian to a corner where unkempt people were meditating cross-legged.

Sun Li shouted, "Big brother, why are you?" Why did you get here? ”

It turned out that the meditator was the person Sun Li had met before taking shelter from the rain.

The man didn't open his eyes, and said slowly: "The fire of baking potatoes forgot to go out, and burned my hut, and I came here, and there must be a reason for this, maybe it has something to do with the clues I am looking for...... Go ahead and get busy, and don't bother me. ”

Sun Li and Zhao Qian had to walk away, and Zhao Qian saw a flying insect flying in front of him, so he took two steps to see what it was.

The flying insect said, "What do you see, dead duck, haven't you seen a mosquito?"

Zhao Qian held back his anger and said, "I'm curious about what you want to be in your next life?" ”

The mosquito said, "Curious about your mother's head!" In my life, I flew less than 100 steps, no more than 10 feet high, and was often slapped and fanned by people. In the next life, I will be like a Dapeng bird, spreading my wings is three thousand miles, and I can fly wherever I want. ”

Zhao Qian said: "You damn mosquito, you dead mouth is still so annoying." It's not that you can be whatever you want, tell you, when I become a chief, I won't let you be a Dapeng bird. ”

Sun Li said: "There are so many people here, will there be mistakes?" ”

Xue You said: "Retribution for good and evil is originally not wrong, but occasional mistakes may be inevitable. ”

Sun Li and Zhao Qian were secretly sighing, and suddenly someone in the queue not far away made a noise.

It turned out that this was the counter where the signing and painting were signed, and everyone was patiently queuing, and a slug and sea cucumber scuffled together, and the two fists were like electricity, and their palms were like the wind. This puff and exhalation of the flesh of the whole body is upside down, like a steel needle and iron mang, and the two tentacles are bent indignantly, like a nail rake.

The sea cucumber scolded while beating: "Lao Tzu will be a poisonous snake in his next life, biting you to death as a turtle son." ”

"Then I'll entrust me to become a meerkat, and I will eat you idiot!" The slugs are not to be outdone.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you dare to fight me for another 300 rounds?"

"Come on, come on, I'll let you ...... this time"

Xue You was furious: "What kind of system is this, where is the impermanence of black and white?" ”

"The little ones are here." I saw two people jumping off the table together. This black and white impermanence looks really grotesque, black impermanence is like a cloud of black ink, the body is impermanent, the body is full of mouths, and he likes to squat in the stone mortar; White impermanence is as thin as a blank piece of paper, when it is rolled, there are no seven tricks, and I love to sleep at the desk. Black and white impermanence pulled the sea cucumber slugs away one by one and held on.
