Chapter 39 Co-workers cause trouble
In other words, just when Li Mu ordered everyone to disperse, the Yellow Emperor was already on the verge of dying.
He vaguely saw two people coming in from outside the door, looked carefully but didn't recognize them, and asked, "If you two don't look like mortal figures, who are you? What do you want to do here?"
But I saw the two of them bow down and answer: "Back to the Xuanyuan monarch, we are the black and white envoys under the command of the Ten Palaces Yama, and I am ordered to invite the monarch to the Ten Palaces for a while tonight." ”
The Yellow Emperor nodded and said, "Oh, it turns out that the two impermanence have arrived, and since they have been summoned by the king of Hades, I will go with the two of them, and ask the two of them to lead the way." ”
As he spoke, he looked around, and there was always a feeling of reluctance in his heart.
On the way, he asked Black and White Impermanence, "May I ask the two envoys, why did you summon me to see the Ten Palaces of Hades?"
Hei Wuchang said: "The monarch does not know, these ten halls are the road to the west of the heavens, all those who are highly respected in the world, those who have a very high character, those who have made contributions to the world, and those who have a good beginning and a good end can directly ascend the ten halls of the smooth road, neither the punishment of hell, nor the suffering of reincarnation." Anyone who goes to the ten halls can ascend to humanity or the way of God, as for where to devote himself, maybe it is a human being, or maybe it is a god, and the small one is unknown. ”
After hearing this, the Yellow Emperor suddenly realized that there were still such rules and regulations in the underworld.
At this time, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor followed the two envoys of black and white impermanence to a stone path, and he was just about to step up, only to hear Bai Impermanence shout: "Please be careful, the monarch." This stone path is not an ordinary road, it is all paved with dark stones, it is extremely smooth, if you accidentally slip, you may fall into the abyss, which will be doomed, and at that time, we will not be able to pay to His Majesty Yama. I'll help you. ”
When the Yellow Emperor heard this, he gently tried it with his feet, and sure enough, the stone path was very smooth, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Bai Wu often used the spirit stick to help the Yellow Emperor up the stone path. The Yellow Emperor asked, "Why is this path so smooth? Is there anything particular and famous? Why is it so narrow?"
Bai Wuchang said: "The monarch doesn't know that this path is paved with ghost fossils, so it is extremely smooth. The spring on the right gushes out of the Nine Springs, and on the left is the Valley of the Abyss Corpse, from which there is no return. This stone road is the Huangquan Road leading to the city of Fengdu. ”
Only then did the Yellow Emperor know that he had set foot on the Huangquan Road, and he was not worried for a while, but the honor and disgrace of his life, and his merits and demerits were already behind him. He said to himself, "It turns out that I am already the one who rushed to Huangquan. ”
After a short time, they came to a small river, which was not too big, no more than 80 zhang wide and only 40 zhang deep, and it was cut off from north to south on the Huangquan Road.
A small, bright, narrow and steep arched bridge hangs over the creek from east to west.
If you go further, will you still have to pass through this small bridge? The Yellow Emperor asked secretly.
Hei Wuchang seemed to have seen the doubts in the Yellow Emperor's heart for a long time, and he asked the Yellow Emperor: "Do you know what this bridge is called, and what is this river called?"
The Yellow Emperor shook his head and replied, "I am a mortal in the world, how can I know the name of the underworld? I have never seen it, let alone heard of it. Ask the messenger for advice. ”
Hei Wuchang pointed and explained: "This bridge is called Nai He Bridge, and it is the only way to Fengdu. Look, there are two guardian spirits standing on the bridge, and they are nicknamed Night Wandering Gods, but they can't afford to provoke them, otherwise, you will not be at peace day and night. ”
"Why is this? What magical powers do they have?" the Yellow Emperor glanced at the two Night Wandering Gods and asked, "Why are they called Night Wandering Gods?"
Hei Wuchang smiled and replied, "The monarch is bad. The Night Wandering God is not only them, but they have eight brothers, Ye Zhong, Lao Jiao, Duda, Xu Jin, Tiaosi, Xudong, Ri Mu, Zi Tomato, the guardian saint of the night, and the leader is named Ye Zhong. On the contrary, there are eight brothers, You Guang, Qing Account, Panjin, You Chen, You Ri, You Yang, Customs Clearance, and Dazong, their names are Sun You God, they are the gods of the Sun, and the leader is called You Guang. ”
The Yellow Emperor asked again, "Where did they come from, and what did they do before?"
Hei Wuchang said: "This Ye Zhong and You Guang were originally two evil people, they relied on their brothers to do some evil things in the mortal world, and later they were collected by King Qin Guang under the tent, and asked them to control ghosts with evil, called 'gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people', so their brothers became the guardian saints of day and night patrols in the underworld." Later, after the Jade Emperor found out, the eight brothers named the Ye Zhong brothers as the gods of the night, responsible for guarding the night safety of the heavenly palace, the underworld, and the three worlds, and the eight Youguang brothers were the gods of the sun, who were responsible for the safety of the three realms during the day. ”
"Oh, I see. Although the Yellow Emperor knew the origin of the two night wandering gods in front of him, he still had doubts and did not understand, so he asked again at the black impermanence: "Just now you said that they are the great evil people in the mortal world, and they have also done some evil things, so why do you still crown them as gods?"
This time, Bai Wuchang preemptively replied: "It is precisely because they have done wicked people and evil things in the mortal world that King Qin Guang took many of their brothers into the Yama Palace, and wanted to punish them severely, but later found that they still had good thoughts in their hearts, so King Qin Guang moved his heart of compassion, took them under the tent, and instructed them, and entrusted them with the important task of guarding the underworld day and night, and punishing those evil ghosts who disobeyed discipline." ”
Hei Wuchang added: "Since they became immortals, they have changed their ways, evil is evil, good is good, all love and hate clearly, all of them are benevolent, righteous and upright, and they are very fair. ”
Black and white impermanence supported the Yellow Emperor and slowly ascended the narrow and smooth arch bridge.
When the Yellow Emperor climbed to the top of the bridge and looked down, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He pointed to the creek under the bridge and asked, "What's going on, why is it so scary?"
It turned out that the small river under the bridge was full of red blood, and there were many rotting corpses floating on it, exuding a fishy smell.
At the bottom of the bridge, there were countless golden bronze snakes, coiling around the pile of bones, and dozens of hungry vicious dogs staring at the bridge with their bloody mouths wide open.
This is what people call the bronze snakes and iron dogs in the Hades Palace, which specialize in eating ghosts that do a lot of evil in the world.
Bai Wu saw the Yellow Emperor so frightened, and hurriedly comforted: "The monarch doesn't need to panic, they are helpless against you, because the monarch is a highly respected person in the mortal world, and he is also a monarch who has attained the Tao, how dare they be unreasonable to you." ”
The Yellow Emperor asked, "What's the matter with the blood in this river?"
Bai Wuchang explained: "Monarch, please see, the bridge under our feet is called Nai He Bridge, and the river under the bridge is called Lechuan River. Human ghosts can reach the city of Fengdu through this bridge before they can enter the reincarnation tunnel and then be reincarnated. Whoever has done too much evil in the world, and is heinous, when he dies, his soul will fall into the Lethe River when he passes through the Naihe Bridge, and the hungry copper snake and iron dog in the river will eat his flesh one by one, and its blood will flow out, and the blood flowing out of hell will converge, and this Lethe River will become the blood river it is now. ”
The misery under the bridge was unbearable, and the Yellow Emperor didn't dare to look at it, so he hurriedly urged: "The two envoys hurry up, don't stop here for a long time, go quickly." ”
As soon as they crossed the Lechuan River and got off the bridge, they saw an old woman walking up from the side of the road.
I saw that the old woman had a wrinkled face, kind eyebrows, and a smile on her face, and a head of silver and white hair, with a hair combed back of her head.
When she saw the Yellow Emperor, she smiled and brought a bowl of hot water and said, "This good man must be thirsty all the way, right? Please drink the old woman's bowl of water to quench your thirst." ”
The Yellow Emperor hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the old woman's reward." At this time, the Yellow Emperor did feel that his mouth and tongue were dry, and he just wanted to find some water to drink.
So he stretched out his hand and took the old woman's bowl, and was about to drink it, when he heard someone shouting in front of him: "Xuanyuan Guojun is slow!"
In the middle of the shouting, two monsters with the heads of beasts came from the opposite side. Who is the only one who came? It turned out to be the two soul seduction messengers of the bull head and horse face in Si Caoli.
When they arrived at the Yellow Emperor, the bull-headed envoy said: "Xuanyuan Guojun must not drink the old woman's water, it is ecstasy soup, after drinking it, you will forget your past life, and you will be like dementia in the future." ”
"Nosy!" the old woman glared at them and said indignantly, "If this person is fooled and blamed, he will try to ask you two!"
The Yellow Emperor didn't know why, and asked Black and White Impermanence: "Excuse me, what's going on, you might as well advise." ”
Bai Wuchang said: "The old woman's name just now is Meng Po, and her water is a soul soup that forgets her previous life, also called Meng Po soup; ”
Hei Wuchang said: "Our brothers can only send the monarch here, and the road behind will be handed over to the two envoys of Niu Tou and Ma Mian, and say goodbye." ”
Before the Yellow Emperor could inquire clearly, the black and white impermanence disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
After the two envoys of Niu Tou and Ma Mian greeted the Yellow Emperor, they only heard Niu Tou say: "The monarch, please come with me." ”
The bull head took the Yellow Emperor to a big stone, but saw that the big stone was carved vertically with three big characters on a red background: Sansheng Stone.
The Yellow Emperor pointed to the Sansheng Stone and asked, "What is this Sansheng Stone used for, and what does it mean?"
Niu Tou explained: "The Sansheng Stone is specially used to record the good and evil, meritorious deeds and deeds done by people in their previous lives, present lives, and future lives. ”
The Yellow Emperor nodded, and at this time, he completely understood that there were so many stories and sayings on this Huangquan Road.
Listen, there is a "Song of Persuasion" on the Huangquan Road that sings:
On the Huangquan Road, the Lechuan River, the blood is surging like a torrent,
A thing is a bridge, and the copper snake and iron dog bridge lie down;
Meng Po soup is in the dust, and the three life stones remember good and evil,
Persuade others to accumulate virtue and accumulate virtue, so that they will not be tormented after death.
This life is gone, and there is no reincarnation in the next life.
Good and evil must be rewarded in the end, and good and evil have cause and effect.
Persuade the monarch to be good and not evil, there are good songs on the Huangquan Road.
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided,
For the wicked to wake up early, otherwise they will have to go down to the oil pot, and get out of the oil pot......
Let's say that the Yellow Emperor walked and talked with the two envoys of Niu Tou and Ma Mian, and unconsciously came to a "township platform".
It turns out that before people arrive at the Hades Palace, they must first pass through two "Xiangtai", the first of which is called "Wangxiangtai", which is intended to let the souls of the dead look back and see the hot land where they live and grow in the world, and at the same time think about what they have done in their lives.
When the Yellow Emperor stood on the "Wangxiang Platform", looking back at the world that had just left, he was quite emotional, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't go here, I have no regrets, I only wish the world to be peaceful forever." ”
He strode down the "lookout platform" with his head held high. He was led by a bull head and a horse, and came to another place called "Forgetting the Hometown", which is the boundary platform where the souls of the dead in the world forget their previous lives.
Ahead leads to the underworld, a darkness. Under normal circumstances, after passing the "Hometown Forgetting Platform" is the place where the judge Si Cao is, and then you can see the Yama in the palace.
However, this time the Yellow Emperor was directly brought to Yama by the two envoys, and when the Yama King of the Ten Halls saw the arrival of the Yellow Emperor, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The little god wheel greets the monarch." ”
When the Yellow Emperor saw the King of Hades smiling at him, he frowned and said with a deep face: "Your Royal Highness, why do you bother to make such a great gift? Now that I am the ghost of your palace, where did I come from!"
Hearing this, the wheel smiled bitterly and said, "Please don't blame the monarch, the little god is also acting on orders." Yesterday, the Jade Emperor sent someone to pass on the holy decree, and ordered the little god to send someone to invite the monarch, and when the monarch arrived, he and the little god went to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to meet His Majesty the Jade Emperor. ”
The Yellow Emperor understood, took a short rest, and was accompanied by the wheel Yama, out of the underworld, all the way to the heavenly court.
