At this moment, Bao Liexing came to the small hell of dung, and saw a human head exposed in the dung tank, his body was all submerged in it, stinking, and several maggots were crawling on his neck. His eyes glowed with melancholy and helplessness, and his face was full of repentance.

The ghost pawn said to Bao Liexing that this sin soul was a very remarkable character during his lifetime, but because he was too violent, killed countless people, and was so angry that it was difficult for him to get out of this hell after being tortured for thousands of years.

Bao Liexing heard that he was a character, and he had a respect for him in his heart, but seeing him being tortured like this, his respect for him was greatly reduced.

Bao Liexing covered his nose and asked the ghost pawn, the people who are kings and emperors in the Yang world are very cultivated and blessed people, if they kill too many people who should not be killed during their reign, will they not go to hell after death?

The ghost pawn said that the monarch and the emperor are also human beings, and their blessings have been exhausted, and if they have committed crimes, their souls after death will also be sent to hell, and their afterlife will also flow with their karma, and some of them will become pigs and dogs, and birds and insects will not be clear.

Bao Liexing kept nodding and turned to leave this hell. But the ghost official stopped him and said, don't go, don't go, this person soaked in the dung tank was a famous general of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, and he led the troops to kill more than one million troops in his life.

Bao Liexing walked to the cesspool and bowed to the famous general of Qin, and asked him if he led his troops to destroy more than one million enemies when he was the general of Qin, and the man nodded his head, with a look of repentance on his face.

Bao Liexing returned to the ghost pawn and asked suspiciously, Shenjun, there is one thing I don't understand, when I was in the yang world, I heard this kind of saying, the two armies are fighting, leading the troops to kill the enemy, it is a righteous act to protect the family and defend the country, loyal to the monarch and the people, not only no fault, but meritorious, how to lead the troops to fight once the general with great military exploits is exhausted, when he reaches the underworld, he will be sent to hell, and the total account of the killing karma will be calculated?

The ghost pawn patted Bao Liexing on the shoulder and said that your statement is false. In the Yang world, the generals or generals who led the troops to kill the enemy, should be robbed and killed or Yang Shou was exhausted, not all of them went to hell, it depends on what the situation is, some not only do not go to hell, but also ascend to heaven to be gods, take Guan Yu, who is very loyal to the liver, righteousness, courage and martial arts, as an example, when he was alive, he was Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, assisted Ming Jun, and ran to the battlefield of the heroes and deer to kill countless enemies, but he killed all the bad people who should be killed, he killed a bad person, and undoubtedly saved many good people.

Therefore, he is not guilty of killing the enemy in terms of the underworld, but has merit, so after his death, he ascended to heaven as a god, was named Emperor Guan, and enjoyed the incense of thousands of generations.

And the situation of the general you saw just now soaked in the cesspool is very different, he led the troops to fight, it should be said that he also has merit, but he killed thousands of people who should not have been killed, and he did not exercise the righteous war according to the orders of the king, but according to his own war-loving proposition, he unscrupulously led the troops to slaughter the innocent, so it was too much, too much and became a sin, which is the main reason why his sinful soul has been soaked in the dung hell for thousands of years and cannot leave.

When Bao Liexing heard this, he saw the miserable situation of those sinful souls being tortured in hell, and he was so terrified that he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Bao Liexing said to the ghost pawn again, I have a friend in the Yang world, who is a butcher and takes killing as a profession, what kind of retribution will he receive in the future?

The butcher generally kills pigs, sheep, cattle and other animals, and in the future, after his death, he is destined to become pigs, sheep, cattle and other animals to pay off debts, that is to say, what is killed is retribution, and karma is not happy at all.

The ghost pawn replied, Bao Liexing asked again, I didn't do the work of killing pigs and sheep or anything, but my friend, once killed a pig, the pig was fierce, he asked the gang to hold down the pig's front legs, control its commotion, and then my friend sent the red knife to the pig's neck, the pig bled out, jumped for a while and died. You say, "Have I ever been evil in this situation?"

The ghost pawn smiled slightly, and said that if you help hold down the pig, you are an accomplice, can you say that there is no evil? In the old days, before the Buddha became a Buddha, he was a teenager, and the people in their village were fishing in the pond, and they threw a big fish they caught on the shore, and they were not yet dead, and their tails were straight and their bodies were arched, and the young man thought it was funny, and he gently knocked the fish head three times with a stick, and you know what happened?

Bao Liexing shook his head and listened carefully to the ghost pawn, but the young man's head hurt for three days, and he was extremely uncomfortable. I mean, you helped the butcher hold the pig's foot and kill the pig, which is a much worse sin than the boy who tapped the fish on the head three times with a stick.

So what to do? Bao Liexing asked anxiously.

When that pig dies, it will definitely take revenge on you. The ghost pawn continued to speak bluntly. How much more did you become an accomplice? Even if you are not an accomplice and eat the flesh of an animal, you will have to bear the sin from the perspective of the six realms of reincarnation. How could such a good thing happen, you think? If you eat the flesh of an animal, sooner or later the animal will eat your flesh, because there are times when animals become humans, and there are times when you become animals.

When Bao Liexing heard this, he was really frightened, and he asked the ghost pawn if he and his friend who killed pigs could let him and his friend who killed pigs not become animals after death in the future, and continue to become humans.

The ghost pawn said that there was a way, and it required repentance with piety. You'd better dream of your friend who is a butcher and tell him to change his profession and stop killing him, or else he will fall into evil pleasures when his life is over, and he will never recover.

Bao Liexing asked again, I had a bad temper when I was born, and I suffered a lot, which hurt both myself and others, can this bad temper be changed?

The ghost official pondered for a long time, saying that it was not so easy to change this bad temper all at once. The key point of your bad temper is that you can't bear it, and if you can't bear it, you get angry, and when you get angry, you get angry, and when you get angry, you play with your temperament, and you become a wicked person.

There is a saying: A thought of hatred arises, and the fire burns the meritorious forest. That is to say, no matter how many good deeds you have done in the past and how many merits you have accumulated, if you can't bear it and get angry when you encounter the slightest unsatisfactory thing, then it will be over, and all the good deeds you have done before and the merits you have accumulated will be burned by the fire of hatred that you have.

Speaking of which, the ghost pawn deliberately asked Bao Liexing, do you hate the gangster who pierced your stomach with a dagger? It is He who deprives you of your life.

Bao Liexing's face immediately sank, and he said that I would like to kill him personally to avenge my death. But the ghost pawn accused him that you were not right.

Of course Bao Liexing was not convinced, and threatened, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, he killed me first, and I killed him again, it is a matter of course, why is it wrong? I don't understand.
