Taboos in the Underworld: Starting from being paid a lot of money to beg for a child

The old man looked back at me and said:

"Haha, young man, you are still young and don't understand many things. Maybe many people don't understand about merit. Merit will not decrease with a person's reincarnation. The only way to reduce merit is to offset karma. Of course, Merits are indeed an important reference for measuring a person's reincarnation in the next life. This person lives only a few decades, and the merits that ordinary people can accumulate are only a drop in the bucket for the improvement of the avenue. Some people do evil for a lifetime, and the path of reincarnation is If you are not clear and become a thief, you will become more and more depraved and evil, and become a beast in several lives. However, some people do good deeds in one life, and the road of reincarnation is broad and boundless, and they will have more resources to do greater merit in the next life. In this way The cycle of more than ten lives and dozens of lives is the prelude to the reincarnation of heaven."

"What is the reincarnation of heaven? It can't be the path to becoming an immortal, right? Is this the path to becoming an immortal the great avenue you mentioned?"

I asked immediately. I had never been exposed to these things. After hearing what the old man said, I suddenly felt enlightened.

The old man just smiled and said inscrutably:

"The truth behind this cannot be explained. I can only wait for you to experience it yourself."

I said oh, thanked the old man for answering my questions, and began to immerse myself in my own world of thinking.

The old man's words touched me a little.

Ghosts and gods, can there be gods as well as ghosts?

That door to the Paradise of Paradise in the City God's Temple?

The Buddha statues in the temple?

Taoist gods in Taoist temples?

Do these really exist?

Ashamed to say.

As a Taoist, I actually have doubts about Taoist gods.

I vaguely remember that when I was studying Taoism with my master, I asked him if there were any gods in this world.

The master's answer was somewhat similar to the old man's. He said:

"For ordinary people, gods are just a concept. For us Taoists, it is a belief. For those who work in the underworld, it is an ideal. I only know so much. As for whether there are gods or not, ? I can only say that I have never seen it. If you think it is there, then it is. If you think it is not, then it is not."

Master said it very vaguely. He said before that those who work in the underworld regard gods as their ideals.

Later, he said that he could only say that he had not seen it, and then said that if I think there is, then there is no.

At that time, this issue was just left unanswered. Now after listening to the old man's words, I began to feel that this god seemed to exist.

But the old man's words also made me understand that even if there are gods, they are not something I can pry out now.

How easy is it to accumulate merit in more than ten or dozens of lives?

Many people have accumulated good deeds in one life and committed evil deeds in the next. Once their merits and demerits are equalized, they will not be able to achieve enlightenment in many lives.

"Haha, I have no future and I am not interested in immortality or anything. I am lucky enough to enter through the Golden Gate this time because I want to get a job in the underworld."

After a minute or two of silence, the middle-aged ghost spoke again.

"Ha ha."

The two old men on the left and right just smiled and said nothing.

After waiting quietly for about ten minutes, Black Armor Yin accidentally ordered five more people to go in, but I was still not among these people.

This seems to be on a first-come, first-served basis. If this continues, I estimate that I will have to wait for four to five to 10 minutes.

Out of boredom, I started trying to recite the Yin Gathering Mantra again.

The yin energy here is very pure and strong.

If the yin can be gathered here once, it will definitely have a much better effect than the yin gathering on the avenue in front of Egouling.

I deliberately found a corner where there were no ghosts and sat down, and began to recite the Yin Gathering Mantra silently in my heart.

The surrounding Yin Qi is slowly gathering with almost imperceptible movement.

The rules here seem to be much higher than those on Huangquan Road and Evil Dog Ridge.

After I finished reciting the Yin Gathering Mantra, I could almost feel the steady breathing of Yin Qi slowly flowing through my soul.

However, although there is very little movement, I can clearly feel that the effect of the Yin Gathering Curse once here is stronger than more than two times on Huangquan Road.

Moreover, the soul body accepts the Yin energy more smoothly.

Every place in the underworld has different rules, just like a person learning to walk.

Adapting to the rules of Yin Qi on the Huangquan Road is equivalent to learning to crawl.

Adapting to the Yin Qi rules over at Hungry Ghost Ridge is equivalent to learning to walk.

If you adapt to the rules in Golden Gate, you will be able to run away.

I suddenly felt happy. If I could gather yin here and complete it once, how strong would it be?

No wonder those Yin Chaos are so awesome, it turns out that there is such a pure and rich Yin Qi environment to stabilize their souls.

The second time, the third time, the fourth time, until I had recited it twenty times, the black armored yin finally almost hit me.

From the look on his face, he seemed to know what I was doing.

But he didn't mention it, and he didn't blame me, which reassured me.

I don't know if there is anywhere else as pure Yin Qi as here.

If I have a chance, I must finish my gathering here.

This time, the black-armored Yin Cha still ordered five ghosts after entering the alley.

I just discovered that it's not as simple as it seems.

This alley looks very ordinary from the outside, but it is very spacious.

Five independent gold-plated rooms are lined up. These rooms are nearly a hundred square meters in size. The doors are all open, but the situation inside cannot be seen clearly.

"You, the first room, you, the second room, you, the third..."

The black-armored Yinzai looked at the bamboo slips in his hands and said.

We each nodded and walked into the room assigned by Yin Zai.

After entering, the environment inside suddenly became clear.

In the same empty space, there is a golden desk seven or eight meters away from the door, and behind the desk sits a red-faced judge.

When he saw me coming in, he said casually:

"Come and talk."

He raised his hand and the door behind him closed automatically.

"Yes."

I said respectfully and walked towards him.

"sit down."

The red-faced judge raised his hand again, and a "chair" made of condensed Yin energy suddenly appeared behind me.

The "chair" looked like a ball of black smoke, floating behind me.

"Thank you, Lord Judge."

I just glanced briefly at the stool, which was not a stool, and then sat down on it.

The black smoke remained unchanged after I sat down.

Not only was my soul able to withstand it, but I also felt traces of black smoke invade my dizzy head.

I frowned. This feeling made me very uncomfortable, as if someone had been touching my butt. I looked at the red-faced judge who had closed his eyes and did not dare to say anything.

After a moment, the red-faced judge opened his eyes and said with a smile:

"I already know all about your blessings and karma during your lifetime. Now I'm going to read out the arrangements for you in the underworld. If you don't understand anything, you can interrupt me."

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

My soul straightened up and I was ready to listen to the verdict.

The red-faced judge looked at me with a smile and said:

"First of all, congratulations on completing the task given to you by the underworld, eliminating several evil ways in the world of the world, and making part of your contribution to maintaining the order of the world of the world. These merits give you two choices. First, you can have a There is a broad path of human reincarnation. In your next life, you will be reborn in a family with certain influence in the human world. Your life will be smooth and you will have no worries about food and clothing. You can choose to accumulate merit by doing good, accumulating virtue, punishing rape and eradicating evil, or you can live an ordinary life. .have you understood?"

I nodded and said:

"Understood, what is my second choice?"

The red-faced judge hummed and continued:

"The second choice is very simple. Based on the characteristics of your soul and the good nature that you still retain, you can choose not to reincarnate and directly hold a position in the underworld. If you want to choose the second option, I will report it to you in half a year. If you like, the underworld will arrange a position for you."

"Have a position in the underworld? Are you a seductress who can travel around the yin and yang world?" I blurted out.

The red-faced judge shook his head and said:

"This depends on the arrangements from above. There are few positions available in the underworld, so we have to wait for half a year. As for the specific positions, they may be the underworld to maintain order, or they may be the seducers who go to the underworld, or those in hell. Prison officer, any of these positions are possible.”

"Your Majesty, may I make a choice after half a year?" I continued to ask.

The red-faced judge shook his head and said:

"If you want to choose the second option, you must make your choice immediately, otherwise you will be considered as abstaining and can only choose reincarnation. Because you have more merit, the life span you need to keep is much shorter than that of ordinary ghosts. It is only a short In three years, as long as you stay in the Ghost Realm Castle for three years, you can be reincarnated and start a new life."
