Chapter 187: The Origin of Wangxiangtai
After a while, Lord Yama began to preach to the two fox demons again: "My baby, my father will tell you now: the origin of this Wangxiangtai?
Once upon a time, every night, in the midst of this hell in the netherworld, countless ghosts would cry aloud on the top of a mountain, and the cries were earth-shattering, and the whole underworld was not at peace.
Yan Jun heard the ghost crying every night, and his mood was very irritable. So, he asked the flat ghost marshal Zhong Kui to go to the palace, and Yan Jun said to him: "Aiqing, do you know why there are ghosts crying at night these days?"
When Zhong Kui heard this, he said, "I just came back from the Yang Realm to kill the soul, and I haven't known yet?" Yan Jun sighed after hearing this: "Gu ordered you to go and check, and anyone who went up the mountain to cry will be beheaded." ”
Zhong Kui took the order and left, and at night he came to the top of the mountain with his sword, and sure enough, in the hazy night, some ghosts gathered on the edge of the cliff and howled loudly, one by one, listless, full of sadness, his eyes were distracted, and the crying was really uncomfortable, as if someone had died.
Zhong Kui was puzzled, raised the Qingfeng sword and shouted: "In the middle of the night, why did you run to the top of the mountain to cry for no reason?"
Unexpectedly, those ghosts were even more grief-stricken after hearing this, leaving tears on their cheeks, and crying even more sadly.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Kui couldn't help but feel heavy, and pointed to a crying ghost who lowered his head and sobbed and asked, "Why are you sad and crying?"
When the ghost heard this, he cried: "Back to my lord, the villain was a farmer in his life, and because his wife was sick, the villain went to the market town to grab medicine, and in a daze, he was chopped to death by a thunderbolt." ”
Zhong Kuixin said: "Life and death are up to fate, don't complain about the sky." As soon as the words fell, Xin saw the crying ghost reply: "The villain doesn't complain about the sky or the earth, only complains about his bad life, and finally married a daughter-in-law who has only been in love for three years, and he will be separated from yin and yang, and I don't know if her illness has healed?"
Zhong Kui said in his heart after hearing this: A husband and wife are kind for a hundred days, and loving husband and wife can't leave, and it is normal for him to think that his daughter-in-law is also human---!
Zhong Kui put down the sword he raised, and was very embarrassed in his heart? If you want to punish these bitter ghosts, they have a reason for it, and there is no sin---?
But if he didn't die, he did cry annoyingly, and he muttered for a moment and withdrew his sword. After walking a short distance, I saw a female ghost with a pale face and red and swollen eyes, and she cried loudly while banging her head against the rock wall.
Zhong Kui couldn't help but step forward and ask at this moment, "Why are you crying here?" "Miss my daughter" Where is your daughter now?" He is in the sun. ”
The love of flesh and blood, the essence and blood are connected, how can you not want to.
Zhong Kui nodded, and suddenly felt pity. He walked around the top of the hill for a long time with his sword, and asked several weepers.
These ghosts either think of their children or their parents. When they came to the underworld, they missed their homeland and their relatives, and they were depressed all day long, and they didn't think about tea and dinner? When they heard that they could look out into the sun on the edge of the cliff on the top of this mountain, they took advantage of the darkness to run up the mountain one after another.
Who knows that yin and yang are separated by a piece of paper, let them look through the autumn water, cry and break their soft intestines, in addition to a vast sea of fog in front of them, where can they see the shadow of their relatives?
So, he couldn't help crying sadly, Zhong Kui felt very bad after hearing it, like a stone hitting his heart, flooding with layers of waves.
I thought that since I said goodbye to my parents, brothers and sisters, new friends and friends that day, I came to the capital Chang'an to take the exam alone, and I met the traitor Lu Qi, and I was angry for a while, so I killed myself in the Jinluan Palace.
Later, Emperor Xuanzong was named the god of exorcism and came to this underworld, and he traveled all over the world to kill demons and eliminate demons. It's been ten years since I knew it, and I haven't seen my family, and I don't know what happened to my family?
Thinking of the day when my father sent him to the ten-mile hillside and said goodbye in tears, maybe he was still waiting for his news? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad and wet his clothes with tears.
Marshal Zhong's soul slipped out of the ghost gate without permission, wanting to escape back to the yang world, and Yan Jun ordered him to be escorted to you for disposal. ”
A gag reports. Zhong Kui came back to his senses and saw two ghosts standing in front of him with a young female ghost.
Seeing that the female ghost's face was haggard, she was not afraid when she saw Zhong Kui, she just lowered her head and cried. Zhong Kui shouted, "Why did you run away?"
The female ghost replied, "I want to go back to the sun to see my parents." After hearing this, Zhong Kui persuaded: "Since you have become a ghost, why do you still miss mortal dust?"
The female ghost replied: "My parents are almost 70 years old, and it was not easy for them to give birth to my only daughter, and they raised children and daughters to send them to the end.
Zhong Kui said: "The yin rules in this underworld are strict, and you escaped from the ghost gate without permission, aren't you afraid of the criminal law of the underworld?"
After hearing this, the female ghost replied: "As long as I can see my parents, I am willing to fight to the 18th floor of hell." ”
After saying that, she began to cry again. Zhong Kui suddenly felt very sad, as if something was pressing his heart, waved his hand and said, "You go......"!
The two ghosts looked at it from the side, and they both felt inexplicable, and said hurriedly: "You should be severely punished for her violating the Yin Law, if Yan Jun knows about it, ......."
Zhong Kui said: "I have my own explanation, I don't have to bother you two!" Later, Zhong Kui asked Yan Jun to play: "Those ghosts who cry in the middle of the night are all thinking about the last time they can see their hometown and their relatives in the yang world, but they have the wish in their hearts."
That's why I went up the mountain in the middle of the night to cry, and I thought: In this case, it is better to let those souls in the underworld meet their relatives in the yang world, but the thoughts in their hearts. ”
Yan Jun listened to the lecture and suddenly said with joy: "What Aiqing said is very right, the idea is to let them meet their families, so as to relieve their longing."
After a while, Yan Jun summoned the civil ministers and military generals in the underworld to discuss and decide to build one: Wangxiang Terrace, so that the souls in the underworld can look at their hometown from afar, say goodbye to their relatives, and forget the thoughts in their hearts.
Since then, the cry of the ghost has disappeared, and there is an additional lookout platform at the top of the famous mountain of the prefecture, which is a high winding fence, majestic and magnificent, towering on the top of the mountain.
What about this lookout? That is, the place where the dead and the living are very sad and sad, so that the souls of the dead miss it in their hearts---?"
