Chapter Ninety-Six: The Way of the World (Part II)

Zhao Shi once again entered the ethereal pitch-black space, at this time his consciousness was blurred, in a state of dissociation, he wandered aimlessly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, Zhao Shi opened his eyes, and found that he had hands and feet, and at this time he was on the edge of a cliff, and there was a white cloud in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.

Zhao Shizheng hesitated whether to take a step forward, but he was afraid that he would fall. When he hesitated, he suddenly floated from nowhere, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and a rainbow bridge emerged.

Zhao Shi walked up to the Hongqiao and walked towards the other end of the Hongqiao. Just after walking a few steps, Zhao Shi found that the surroundings were originally white, but now there were many children playing in the river, and a group of women, some young and some old, were talking and laughing by the river and washing their clothes. As Zhao Shi continued to walk forward, the picture kept switching.

An extremely dignified and beautiful woman sat in front of the dresser in a bridal dress, chatting with an elderly woman behind her with tears of happiness in her eyes, this old woman took a wooden comb and slowly combed her, and when she saw her crying, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. By this time, the young woman had already taken out a handkerchief and wiped away the old woman's tears.

Two soldiers carried a corpse into a small mountain village. In a thatched hut, two old men with white hair walked out with each other in their arms, and they looked towards the end of the path, looking a little anxious, as if they were looking forward to someone.

For four or five years, they were waiting for their grandsons to return from the war, and their two sons had died on the battlefield, and four or five years ago their fifteen-year-old grandson was arrested and sent to serve as soldiers, leaving these two old men alone to depend on each other.

At this time, two soldiers carried a corpse and walked on the road that the two old men were looking forward to. When the two old men saw someone coming, their wrinkled faces couldn't help but show joy. When the two soldiers put down the corpses they were carrying and walked straight away, the two old men froze.

This is the third time, the third time to experience the pain of life and death of relatives, and the third time to experience the white-haired person sending the black-haired person, which is how these two old people can withstand such a big blow.

How they wish that one of the two soldiers who left was their grandson, even if he didn't want to go home, didn't recognize himself, and even forgot that they were okay, as long as he lived, to give them a hope, a hope.

But the truth is so cruel and ruthless, and at this moment his eyes are closed forever. Looking at her grandson's immature and slightly mature face, the old woman immediately cried out with a "wow", her wife gently patted her back with her left hand, and kept wiping the tears from her eyes with her right hand.

What a happy family, but it was ruthlessly destroyed because of the war. I don't know how many happy families have been shattered because of the war, and the war has made everything a bubble and a luxury.

Zhao Shi walked forward, experiencing the various states of the world. When he saw the joyful scene, he applauded happily and was sincerely happy for them; when he saw the reunion of his relatives after a long absence, he wept with joy; when he saw the cruel killings, natural and man-made disasters, the separation of his wife and family, he was sad and wanted to bear all these pains、、、、、、

As I walked forward, the picture changed again, a lake with still water, and the emerald green lotus leaves held out the hibiscus, like the pink cheeks of a girl. The willows on the shore are still there, the breeze is warm, and the fisherman rows to the boat and hums a tune loudly, and spreads his net to catch the fish.

As the sun sets, the birds chirp, setting off the silence of the already calm lake, and the peace between heaven and earth. At this time, a flat boat floated from a distance, and a flute sounded melodiously.

The sound of this flute is crisp and soft, euphemistic and clear coexist, just like the sound of heaven, pleasant to the heart! The tactful sound of the flute affects the afterglow of the setting sun, as if the petals of 10,000 points in the sky are falling one after another, embellishing the solemn picture into a dream's artistic conception.

The sound of this flute is graceful and listening, as if it is telling the infinite thoughts of the piper, which makes people have unknown feelings. At this time, the sound of poetry came from the boat:

The flute sounded on a cool autumn night, and the flow of wind and rhyme was ninety. When turned up, it is generous, twisted or poignant.

Recruiting guests is nostalgic, and neighbors are nostalgic. Fortunately, with a bosom friend, there are thousands of strange voices.

"Recruiting guests is nostalgic, and neighbors are nostalgic. Fortunately, with a bosom friend, there are thousands of strange voices. Zhao Shi read it silently and savored it, feeling very charming.

Then he walked forward, and suddenly the golden light shone down from the top of Zhao Shi, and he looked up and saw eight exquisite pagodas descending from the golden light.

Zhao Shi was stunned all of a sudden, and eight golden pagodas suddenly appeared in front of him, "What is the meaning of these eight pagodas in these 、、、?" Zhao Shi couldn't help but think in his heart.

These eight pagodas are collectively known as the "Eight Pagodas of Good Death" and were built in honor of the Buddha.

One pagoda is the Lotus Pagoda, commemorating the birth of the Buddha when he was born.

The second pagoda is the Fu Mo Pagoda, commemorating the Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

The three pagodas are the Falun Pagoda, commemorating the Buddha's first turning of the Falun after his enlightenment.

The four towers are the towers of divine change, commemorating the Buddha's manifestation of divine changes and subduing the outer way.

The five pagodas are the towers descending from the sky, commemorating the Buddha's return to the world after going to heaven as his mother.

The six pagodas are the Harmony Pagoda, commemorating the Buddha's preaching to reunite the Sangha.

The seven pagodas are the towers of honor, commemorating the Buddha's attainment of the realm of life and death.

The eight pagodas are the Nirvana Pagodas, commemorating the Buddha's physical disappearance.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Shi really couldn't understand the mystery, so he had to give up and walk forward, and the eight pagodas followed him forward.

At this time, the original picture disappeared, the Hongqiao suddenly broke, Zhao Shi fell into the abyss, and when he woke up, he found himself in a dark and damp prison cell, and several ghost guards in the prison room were whipping the prisoners, the prisoners screamed miserably, and the ghost soldiers were happily beating.

The scene changed again, the prisoners were thrown into the oil pan and fried, their whole bodies were scorched, and the ghost soldiers were singing and dancing beside them.

The picture changed again, many prisoners had sharp claws in their hands, grabbed each other, their intestines were spilled all over the ground, and they screamed so loudly that when there was only one prisoner left, he still wanted to kill, so he disemboweled. A gust of wind blew, and all the prisoners came to life, and then a new round of slashing began.

In this way, the picture changed eight times, Zhao Shi's face turned blue, cold sweat broke out, and the whole person curled up on the ground motionless. "This is Hell、、、、、、" Zhao Shi kept repeating.

What Zhao Shi just looked at was the "Eight Hells", and the "Eight Hells" were specifically to punish those sinners who did a lot of evil in the yang world. The Eight Hells are divided into Equal Living Hell, Black Rope Hell, Harmony Hell, Calling Hell, Great Screaming Hell, Scorching Hell, Great Scorching Hell, and Abi Hell.
