Chapter 85: The Way of Reincarnation
Speaking of which, Chang Shan was quite unlucky. He didn't give Luo Ze much useful information in the mortal world, and he was tortured by Luo Ze.
Chang Shan staggered away to the underworld again last night, and for some reason, he met the Ghost King in the Ghost Market.
He was tortured half to death by the Ghost King. His arms and legs were removed countless times and they were almost unable to be reattached. He lay dying in the dog shed.
He thought about it and couldn't figure out where he had offended the Ghost King. He didn't know the Ghost King at all, but the Ghost King just hated him and tortured him to death.
Chang Shan closed his eyes and wanted to rest for a while. He really didn't want to run away. His legs were about to break trying to avoid the ghost king's pursuit.
"Woof woof woof!" A black dog walked over leisurely, looked at Chang Shan with fierce eyes, and bared its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs.
Chang Shan was startled. He looked at the black dog and then at the kennel lying under him. He thought it was over. He was occupying someone else's territory.
Without waiting for Chang Shan to react, the black dog rushed over and bit Chang Shan's thigh hard, refusing to let go.
Chang Shan howled miserably, raised his foot and kicked the black dog on the head, knocking it unconscious. Seeing this, Chang Shan ran away lamely, and the black dog got up dizzy and chased after Chang Shan.
After Qingwu had eaten and drank enough, he began to think about other things: "Oh, by the way! Grandpa, since you have become the city god, where is my milk?"
"She! She can't stand the dullness and suffering of this underworld, so she went to the mortal world to undergo reincarnation."
Qing Wu pouted and said, "Isn't the pain of reincarnation even more painful?"
"Everyone has his own ambitions! By the way, do your parents know about your trip?"
"I'm sorry, grandpa! I! I! I left without saying goodbye." Qing Wu felt really guilty.
"Hey, you kid, your parents must be worried."
"What should I do, grandpa? Your son and daughter-in-law will be looking for me all over the world."
"Hey, it doesn't matter. Let me give them a dream and tell them a few things. Whether they believe it or not, they have to feel at ease."
"Well! Thank you grandpa. My granddaughter has caused trouble for grandpa!"
"Sir, I've brought you a cat!" Someone knocked on the door.
"Wu'er, wait a moment!" Mr. Qing opened the door to get the cat, "Go and watch from a distance!" The ghost responded and retreated far away.
"Wu'er, your cat!" Qing Wu was about to take out her cat and introduce her Bobo to Mr. Qing.
Mr. Qing was the first to say: "My son, please take a rest for a while. Grandpa will send you out of the city and leave quickly! It is not suitable for you to stay in the underworld for too long. If you stay too long, your life will be shortened. Grandpa does not want to leave you, but he will never give up."
I can’t keep you.”
For the sake of Qing Wu, Mr. Qing had no choice but to issue an eviction order!
"Grandpa!" Qing Wu was reluctant to leave.
She never thought that one day she would see her grandfather again. She loved her grandfather the most.
She remembered that when her grandfather passed away, she cried so hard that she cried day and night. Now these years, she often sheds tears every time she thinks of her grandfather.
But now that I know my grandpa is doing well, I can feel relieved.
"Okay, grandpa knows you are reluctant to leave! But don't you still want to go to the demon world? Go ahead! Grandpa won't stop you. Since you have stepped out of the mortal world and stepped into the six realms, go and see it. Maybe there will be another chance.
.”
"Then, grandpa, please take care, I will visit you regularly from now on!" Qing Wu said.
"No, don't come. This mortal body of yours cannot come to the underworld again. Put this on, it can hide any breath around you anywhere!" Mr. Qing took out a pendant.
He gently tied it around Qing Wu's neck and continued: "Hide it in your collar. Don't let others see it. Don't leave it. With it, no one will be able to see you when you travel through the six realms."
Your cultivation level and mortal body naturally remain somewhat mysterious to you, and you should be kept at a respectful distance."
"Yes, I understand, grandpa! Don't worry! I won't take it off even if I take a shower." Qing Wu immediately put the pendant into his collar, put the cat bag on his back, and prepared to leave.
"Grandpa has prepared a sweetheart. Grandpa will escort you to the city gate in a while. After arriving at the city gate, you will be on your way alone. Grandpa has taken office as a new official and cannot send you to the spirit world in person. You have to be careful along the way.
Grandpa refilled the lamp oil for you. When you get outside the city gate later, you can light it again and it will automatically hide your figure. Remember that you cannot look back in the underworld." Qing Lao explained, for fear that something would happen to Qing Wu again.
"I know, grandpa!" Qing Wu thought about it and cried again as he said goodbye.
Qing Wu sat in Jiaozi, opened the curtain from the window, and looked at the sun in the capital of Hades: "Grandpa, the sky and the sun were dark all the way here. Why is there day and night in the capital of Hades?"
"The capital city of Hades is full of resident ghosts. They don't need to be reincarnated and go through reincarnation and live a normal life. Some are born in the underworld, and some are even on the road to cultivating immortals. The distinction between day and night is naturally necessary.
"
"Oh! Then why can't there be a distinction between day and night in other places?" Qing Wu looked at Mr. Qing.
"In the underworld, day and night can only be distinguished within the capital of each city and state. After the death of creatures in the mortal world, their souls become godless masters.
They will all be led to the Bridge of Purity by the Black and White Impermanence, and after drinking the Dinghun Decoction for a day, they will slowly regain their consciousness." Mr. Qing touched his beard and continued:
"Afterwards, they will be taken to the Hall of Hell in the underworld by ghost messengers, and their past lives will be verified and judged by the judge.
Those who have committed many evil deeds will naturally be punished, and those who have done good deeds and accumulated virtue will have their resumes and souls sent to the City God's Hall by the judge."
"Send it to the City God's Hall? Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Qing Wu held his chin and asked innocently.
"Of course, we are waiting for Grandpa's review! For those who have perfected their merits, Grandpa will send them and their resumes to the God Realm to the Emperor of the Underworld to follow his arrangements. Some will stay in the God Realm to become immortals, and some will be sent to the Underworld to serve as officials.
, such as grandpa."
"Then, what about those who did neither bad things nor good deeds?" Qing Wu was curious.
"Those people! The judge will also send them to Grandpa! For those with good conduct, Grandpa can send them to various states and counties to work as ghosts or something like that. They can also voluntarily choose to be reincarnated. For those with average conduct, they can also choose voluntarily.
Stay in the underworld and become a ghost citizen or go to reincarnation."
"Going to reincarnation? Going to the mortal world to be reincarnated?" Qing Wu felt like she had returned to the time when her grandfather told her stories when she was a child.
"Not necessarily. It depends on what happened during their lifetime. Some were sent to reincarnate in the mortal world, and some were reincarnated in the underworld, or even the divine world."
"Oh, what about those who committed evil crimes during their lifetimes after being punished? Will the creatures in the God Realm be under your control after death?" Qing Wu blinked.
"That's not true. The underworld generally only governs the life and death of creatures in the underworld and the mortal world. The other four realms depend on the situation. As for those who are full of evil, after they are punished.
Some were sentenced to the animal realm, or directly suffered the tribulations of reincarnation, while others were punished to varying degrees in the eighteen levels of hell, and then reincarnated as appropriate."
"Oh, so why is it that only the capitals of cities and states can distinguish between day and night?" Qing Wu's thinking was so fast that Mr. Qing almost couldn't keep up.
"Because the creatures in the mortal world are extremely fragile and ethereal after death, and they cannot withstand the nourishment of spiritual power in the sun's light.
Only when they arrive at the Yama Hall, after the first round of trials, and their resumes are stamped with seals, can they withstand the divine light. Otherwise, they will be instantly annihilated by the sun god's light.
In order to protect them from being killed innocently on the way to the Yama Hall, except for the capitals of cities and states where the sun shines, the rest of the underworld is dark."
"I see. So those ghosts who go to the human world to do evil have all passed the trial?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Some people became dissatisfied after drinking the soul-fixing soup to regain their consciousness, so they sneaked back. Some were dissatisfied after the trial and took the opportunity to escape. Some were ghosts or cultivators who sneaked away."
"Oh! So some can see the light! Some can't. No wonder I used to hear grandma say that you always love the blue sky and encounter unclean evil things in the daytime. Now it all makes sense."
"Of course, only creatures that have recovered their spiritual consciousness can have hidden aggression. Generally, those who take the initiative to attack are either mentally twisted or have ulterior motives."
"Oh, that's just like humans!"
"Yes! Wu'er, after listening to grandpa's explanation, did you feel less scared instantly?"
"Well, I'm really not that scared anymore." Qing Wu was thinking about something and looked at a figure passing by at the corner of the road.
Qing Wu felt that he looked like Chang Shan, but he looked very embarrassed, which was a bit contrary to Chang Shan's image, so he didn't care.
