Hyakki Night Walk: Ghost Catcher (2)
During the dinner with Liu Qianmeng, Li Xiaofan was inevitably looked at by all kinds of jealousy and resentment. After eating, Li Xiaofan's clothes were almost wet with sweat. In this case, Li Xiaofan had to hurriedly find an excuse, quickly separated from Liu Qianmeng, and returned to his classroom.
In the afternoon, it can be said that Li Xiaofan is basically sleeping on his stomach. While sleeping, Li Xiaofan went to the Yama Palace of King Qin Guang. After all, Li Xiaofan still cares a lot about what kind of profession the ghost catcher in Liu Qianmeng's words is.
"Uncle Qin Guang, do you know that there is an organization in our world, called a ghost catcher or something?"
"Ghost catcher? Oh, I know. The sworn enemy of the underworld. ”
"Die... Rival?" Hearing King Qin Guang's tepid answer, Li Xiaofan almost choked on his own saliva.
"Well, what's wrong? Have you met a ghost catcher??Isn't it beautiful for a man or a woman?" King Qin Guang narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.
Li Xiaofan wiped his sweat and said vaguely, "Female, it's a classmate of mine." That one... Uncle Qin Guang, why do you say that the ghost catcher is the sworn enemy of the underworld?"
"What do you think, what is the duty of our Helllord Hades?"
"Catch the ghosts, catch the ghosts back to the underworld, and then throw them into the six realms of reincarnation, and re-transform the soul into the power that runs the world. ”
"Well, that's right. But the profession of ghost catcher is a little special. They can't lure ghosts into the underworld and throw them into the six realms of reincarnation like black and white impermanence. All the ghosts they kill will completely dissipate their souls from this world. Such a situation is certainly not something that our prefecture is happy to see. ”
"Ahh So why leave them alone? Don't they know it's wrong to do so?"
"No, from the perspective of you humans, there is nothing wrong with catching ghosts. The underworld only thinks about the stability of the entire world and the operation of the six realms of reincarnation. But what the ghost catchers think about is the stability of human beings. You should know that the underworld is not only in charge of the souls of human beings, but also in the souls of all living beings after death. Normally, humans don't care about other living beings, can you understand that?"
"Well, I guess I can understand a little. It's just that... What impact will the ghost catchers have on the whole world?"
"If you want to say that it doesn't matter, it must be false. But the Difu only cares about the living beings after death, and cannot interfere with the living life. Therefore, the underworld has no way to control their behavior. Moreover, after the death of each ghost catcher, the soul will dissipate directly in the world and will not enter the underworld. That's where the real headache comes in. ”
"Aha? In other words, after the ghost catchers die, the underworld can't take care of it, right?"
"Well, that's pretty much what it means. Of course, there are also a few ghost catchers who will continue to have their souls after they die. It's just that their souls will be trapped in the purgatory abyss of the Nine Hells Mansion, a dangerous place that even we, the King of Hades, dare not set foot in easily. ”
"Is there still a place in the underworld where you can't go to Uncle Qin Guang?"
"Of course, you human beings, don't you have places in the world that you can't go?" King Qin Guang yawned lazily and said casually, "However, I don't have any dislike for those ghost catchers. Since it exists, there must be a reason for its existence. It's just that when you get close to those ghost catchers, you must still be careful. After all, there are a few little ghosts living in your house. ”
