Chapter 018: Death in vain outside the city

Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement.

This truth was clear to Ye Ling in his previous life. It is the so-called backing mountain. If you want everyone to run, you still need to rely on yourself for everything. Even if Shen Huan is accepted as a ghost servant, it will not solve the fundamental problem, besides, he is not a heavenly master, if there is no accident, after this time, at least in a short period of time, he will not come to the underworld again, so he plans to teach Shen Huan the method of self-salvation and embark on the road of ghost cultivation.

"Master, I am willing, and I beg you to teach me the method of ghost cultivation. ”

"You have to think about it carefully, once you embark on the path of ghost cultivation, you will lose the opportunity of reincarnation, and you will no longer be able to enjoy the prosperity of the world and the wealth of the world. Ye Ling said.

"Please also ask the teacher to teach me. As he spoke, Shen Huan bowed his head, but he wanted to do the disciple's courtesy. It's just that he was blocked by Ye Ling, the reason why he planned to teach Shen Huan the method of cultivation was just to see that this little ghost was kind and responsible, not because he had the intention of accepting disciples.

After that, Ye Ling stopped talking nonsense, and directly awarded Shen Huan a Dao Sect Heart Method suitable for ghost cultivation with the method of empowerment.

"Shen Huan, today I will preach your Taoist method, remember, don't forget your original intention in everything. In the future, if I hear that you have any wanton behavior and bullying behavior, at that time, even if you are in an important position in this Yin Division, I will definitely abolish your cultivation. ”

Ye Ling said the above warnings word by word, and his expression was extremely serious. He was not a sage, nor did he have the heart of a bodhisattva. But there is a bottom line, but he has never forgotten it and does not do evil.

"Don't forget. ”

Although Ye Ling was reluctant to accept him as an apprentice, Shen Huan still knelt on the ground and honestly gave Ye Ling a teacher salute, making a promise in his mouth.

Don't look at the fact that becoming a ghost cultivator has to be bound by the Yin Division, it seems that you have lost your freedom. But unless he transcends the Heavenly Dao, which of these three realms is a truly free person, so being able to become a ghost cultivator is not an opportunity for Shen Huan, and he will never fall into hell and will not suffer from reincarnation.

After admonishing Shen Huan a few words, and pointing out the other party in the matter of cultivation, Ye Ling did not stay any longer, and in the grateful eyes of the little ghosts, he turned around and walked out of the city of vain death and headed to the north.

After a while, he saw a huge stone mountain appear in Ye Ling's sight.

The whole mountain has no grass, and under the illumination of the Taiyin star power, the dark mountain rocks are as cold as iron. The mountain is full of handcuffed and shackled people, under the watchful eye of the patrol ghost, holding a hammer and iron pestle to dig stones, the slightest slackness will attract the ghost cha to beat the bad, for a time the axe chisel dingding, crying and wailing endlessly.

This mountain is called Reef Mountain, and it is the place where Yin Si exiles punish those who kill themselves. If a person dies in vain due to an accident during his lifetime, he only needs to stay in the city of vain death until the day when his yang life is exhausted, and then he will have the opportunity to be reincarnated. However, if a person dies by suicide, he or she has to go to this reef mountain to serve hard labor to forgive the sins and abuses of his life, and only when the guilt is atoned for can they go to reincarnation.

However, this is already extremely lucky, they are all self-extinguished people who have lived for less than a year, and they will have the opportunity to be reincarnated as human beings after digging stones in this reef mountain for a maximum of 360 years. And those who have more than a year of longevity will be directly sent to hell in vain, suffering from the sword and axe all the time, and will never be able to be a human being.

"Big brother, can you let me rest for a while?"

On the rocky hill, in a deserted corner, an unkempt man in prison uniform pleaded with his hands to the onicha who passed by.

"Rest your fart, get to work. ”

"Alas!"

The man sighed, but said no more, and lowered his head and chiseled the stone with an iron pestle. It's just that he was born in a large family before his death, although his parents died early, but he left a huge family property, and he has never suffered such hardships since he was a child. So, after only a short time of chiseling, the man could no longer chisel.

However, unlike the fierce and vicious ghosts in other places, once the prisoner slackens, he will whip endlessly. Seeing that the man was really out of strength, he didn't feel too embarrassed, but he just gave a symbolic whip, so he didn't care anymore, sat down on a stone by himself, lit his pipe, took a puff, and said: "Look at your situation, you must have come from a big family before you died, and you have read books!"

"I have read that the late life is the twenty-sixth year of Zhenguan. ”

As he spoke, the man chiseled the stone, and although his movements slowed down, he did not stop. He is also a sensible person, the old man is kind-hearted and can't bear to embarrass him, but he can't make it difficult for the other party, and it is still necessary to make a show. Otherwise, being seen by the ghost next to him will inevitably be another trouble.

"Since you have a meritorious name, why do you not know the number of days so much. The old man took a puff of smoke and said with some anger: "It's not that I said that you scholars, there are any hurdles that you can't get over in that yang world, so you have to choose suicide." ”

"Let's just say that I am old! I was in troubled times when I was alive, isn't there a saying that Ning should do something?"

"I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world. ”

"Yes, that's the sentence, the old man was born as a cheap life, he was a beggar to beg for food, he was a monk who hit the bell, he struggled to survive in the troubled times, and he also fought for his life in order to live on the battle array, although the world was too peaceful later, but my old wife and children also suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters one after another, and left, leaving only the old man alone in the world of painful struggles, but the old man never had the idea of suicide, since he can live, he must live, just because his parents gave him, people live, they must know how to cherish the blessings. ”

"The old man is right, but I also have unspeakable grievances. When the man had finished speaking, he said no more, bowed his head and chiseled the stone again.

"If there is anything worse than death, you can tell me. ”

The old man glared at him and said: "The old man has heard others say that your kid died for the martyrdom of his wife, and the seed of infatuation like you is embarrassing, but you must know that people die like lights go out, and the past is gone, and you can continue to do it." ”

"Come, come, look around here, and know that your boy is going to dig stones on this mountain for sixty years, and he will not rest for a moment, and he will not take care of his food. Today, that is, I have a little respect for you who are readers, and I don't want to embarrass you too much. ”

"No regrets. ”

There was no trace of remorse on the man's face, even if his hands were blurred by the excavation of stones, he was suffering greatly every moment, and the man did not regret the decision he had made, he only wanted to be able to renew the relationship with his wife in the next life.

"You don't regret it, I regret it. ”
