Chapter 323: Look at the Lotus Seal
After walking a few more steps, Yang Jiaren saw a sign at the front entrance of a big house, with three big bold characters on it: "Ghost World Fort". He wrapped the package he was carrying in front of the young Yin soldier and said, "It's good to have a place to live, and I will have a place to put the offerings burned by the relatives of the Yang family."
When he came to the main gate of the Ghost Realm Fort, the young Yin soldier did not immediately take Yang Jiaren in, but asked him to take a look at a row of propaganda windows at the door. After careful browsing, it became clear to him:
It turns out that the underworld has formulated laws and regulations and legal holidays for the ghosts in the ghost world fort, and the ghosts who live in the ghost world fort can return to the yang world on specific days and under specific circumstances, but these ghosts must strictly abide by their own path scope and road requirements, when they can manifest themselves, and when they can go home; There are strict rules about when you can possess a body and when you can receive offerings.
If a ghost dares to disobey the law and discipline, he will be sent by the underworld to patrol the yang world in turn, and the day and night patrols will be caught in front of the ten halls of the Lord of Yama and questioned until they enter the eighteenth layer of hell.
Then, the young Yin soldier took Yang Jiaren into the Ghost Realm Fort, and the doorman asked for Yang Jiaren's approval ticket before giving him the key. The key reads: The door to the left of Unit 3 of the fifth row room.
The young Yin soldier said, I can go, you can find it yourself. Yang Jiaren looked at him gratefully and said, I don't know each other very well, can you take me there? The young Yin soldier thought: I have already sent you to the door, and I don't care about walking a few more steps. He then waved his hand and said come with me.
The inside of the Ghost Castle is gloomy, but the road is basically visible. The young Yin soldier took the Yang family around a few times, and arrived at the door of the room where he should have arrived. Open the door and enter, what is different from the structure of the house in the sun is that there are four small rooms and a living room arranged in accordance with the direction of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The four small rooms are called the gold room, the wood room, the water room, the fire room, and the living room is called the earth room.
At that moment, the young Yin soldier asked Yang Jiaren what he belonged to during his lifetime, and he replied that he belonged to sheep. The young Yin soldier said, then you had better live in the living room, the sheep is not soiled, and the living room is an earthen room, which is in line with your genus.
Yang Jiaren said, how can this living room live? The young Yin soldier smiled and said, Fire gives birth to earth, you can also live in the fire room. The young man also said the common sense of life in the underworld, and Yang Jiaren was very grateful to him, and took out two gold ingots from the package and gave them to him.
He insisted that he would leave. Yang Jiaren said, then I will pick up your guest, where will I make a tooth sacrifice? You are familiar with this netherworld, you choose a place. The young Yin soldier said, that's okay, just go to the restaurant on the street opposite the fifth hall and eat something.
The difference between the underworld and the underworld is that it is all vegetarian restaurants. At that moment, the young Yin soldier led the Yang family to a seasonal vegetable restaurant, and each ordered a fresh vegetable boiled noodle soup.
Yang Jiaren felt that the taste was much more delicious than eating noodle soup in the yang world, talking about this, the young Yin soldier told him a true story, saying that during the Tang Dynasty, there was an official who had the kung fu of breaking the yin and the yang day and night, and the underworld invited him to Hell to judge the case, and after the case was solved, he did not immediately return to Yang, but greedy for the delicious food in the restaurant in the underworld, and as a result, he ate too much and could not return to Yang.
What do you mean by telling this story? Is it a reminder not to eat too much of the things of the underworld? Yang Jiaren asked.
No, you're already a ghost, as long as you can eat it, it's okay how you eat it, anyway, you can't go back to Yang. I tell this story to tell you that people in the yang world who have the opportunity or ability to pass the yin must not eat the things of the underworld casually, otherwise it will be difficult to return the yang, and even if the yang is returned, he will be seriously ill. The young Yin soldier said it right.
Yang Jiaren changed the topic and pointed to the fifth hall across the street and said, I passed the hall there a few days ago, and I think the environment there is very good, and I really want to visit it again and feast my eyes. The young Yin soldier got up and said, I'll take you to have a look, it's okay.
So Yang Jiaren followed him out of the restaurant and approached the fifth hall directly, only to see lotus flowers appearing at the door of the white jade hall, bursts of fragrance, all kinds of auspicious and eye-catching.
There is also a couplet at the entrance of the five halls: Yin Cao Difu, ten halls and five halls are the main; Eighteen hells, a hundred punishments are based on the right way. Yang Jiaren cocked his thumb and said, not bad, not bad. The young Yin soldier said, even better, you haven't seen it yet. Yang Jiaren took a few steps further, and there was a feeling of cold air, and he immediately retreated.
The young Yin soldier took him and said as he walked, the five halls of the Hades Palace are the seat of King Senluo, he is very majestic, some criminal souls went in to be tried, and before they were promoted, they were frightened. Yang Jiaren stretched out his tongue and trembled. As soon as he calmed down, he changed the topic and asked the young Yin soldier, if I lived in the Ghost Realm Fort and finished guarding the ghost life, what kind of person would I be reincarnated in the future?
So how do I know? I can only tell you that reincarnation is divided into ten classes: first-class people, who become Buddhas and make decisions; second-class people, official seal Houmen; third-class people, imperial court horses; Fourth-class class, Minister of Civil and Military Affairs; fifth-class people, glory and wealth; Sixth-class people, the street is called poor; Seventh-class people, throwing donkeys into horses; Eighth-class people, animals and birds; ninth, pigs and dogs in the next world; Ten people, fish, turtles and shrimp groups. What kind of person you belong to is determined by your own karma. The young Yin soldier explained.
If I become a person below the seventh rank, it would be better to live in this ghost castle and be a ghost forever. Yang Jiaren weighed the pros and cons and said.
If you are a person below the seventh rank, you may not have the qualifications to live in this ghost realm fort, and you will go to hell to be tortured as soon as possible. The young Yin soldier said, and found that he had walked to the street with Yang Jiaren.
Yang Jiaren was about to say goodbye to the young Yin soldiers, preparing to return to the Ghost Castle, when he looked up, a strong light was released in front of the West Street, which was not dazzling at all, and a lotus platform appeared in the strong light, mainly gold, supplemented by seven colors, Yang Jiaren felt extremely happy and comfortable.
He immediately dispelled the idea of returning to the Ghost Realm Fort, and asked the young Yin soldier what kind of place it was. The answer is the twelfth station of the underworld, the Lotus Terrace. There was a lotus seal with a large thread on the seal hall of the young Yin soldier's forehead, and when he said this, he also reached out and touched it. Yang Jiaren looked up at his round face shaped like a small lotus leaf, and asked with a smile, Is it okay for me to call you Brother Underworld?
Call me brother! I'm younger than you. The young Yin soldier replied.
Okay, Brother Bing, let me ask you, is the lotus mark on your forehead natural? Yang Jiaren asked.
The young Yin soldier did not answer immediately, and his expression suddenly became solemn. And pull him to divert the topic, Brother Ren, in front of him is the throne lotus platform where the king of Jizo preached in hell. Go, go and ask the King of Jizo to bless you.
Yang Jiaren stopped and pestered him and asked, Brother Bing, you haven't answered me yet, where did the beautiful lotus mark on your forehead come from?
