Although Mr. Chen is a bit stupid, his thirst for knowledge has always been stronger than others.
"Grandma, what are the Eight Hells of Immortals? Why haven't we heard of them?"
After asking, he was afraid that his deaf mother-in-law would laugh at him, so he weakly pointed at Hua Jiunan, who was also confused.
"We, we are asking for the boss, and he doesn't know..."
The deaf mother-in-law smiled helplessly and reached out to touch Chen Daji's head.
"Your brother Jiu is from a 'scientific' background and studied the Heavenly Master's Way. How can you understand such a wild thing?"
"It's not just him, I'm afraid even the God of Hell hasn't thought about this."
"Otherwise, I would have told you then."
As the deaf mother-in-law narrated, the fog shrouding the whole thing was gradually lifted...
As we all know, there is always evil in everything.
For example, Buddha, demon, god, ghost, the same is true for Taoism.
People in the world often refer to Taoists who don't follow the right path as demons.
There is a sect in the demon world that believes that if a mortal wants to become an immortal, he must go through eight levels of tribulations, which they call the Eight Hells of Refining Immortals.
That is to say, voluntarily throw yourself into the eight hells of the underworld and suffer in the hells.
In order to pass through the eight hells and ascend to immortality smoothly, this sect came up with the harmful idea of using others as substitutes.
Use a substitute to take your place and go to the eight hells to suffer.
The eight hells are: mountain of swords, cauldron of oil, flood, ice, heart-gouging, tongue-cutting, sea of fire, and millstone.
After going through the eight hells, the person who casts the spell can successfully become an immortal.
Although the so-called immortal here is not the same as the pure and comfortable immortal, there is an idiom that says it well:
The difference between immortals and mortals.
It can be seen that no matter what the process is, once you become the legendary "immortal", it will not be easy.
What’s more, it’s still in the Dharma-ending era where humans and humans are forever separated!
After listening to her deaf mother-in-law's explanation, Hua Jiunan was secretly shocked.
Silently considering the appearance of the seven mine boils, he couldn't help but speak.
"Grandma, so the seven mine boils represent the seven purgatory's of 'Mountain of Knives, Oil Cauldron, Flood, Ice, Heart-Gouging, Cut-Out Tongue, and Sea of Fire'. Now we are only one step away from the Millstone Hell!"
Mopan Hell, also called Stone Mill Hell, is the seventeenth level among the eighteen levels of hell.
Those who waste food, thieves, corrupt officials, and bullies who oppress others will all go to the Stone Mill Hell after death.
Grind into a paste, then reshape the body and grind again!
In addition, monks who eat meat and Taoist priests who violate the precepts will also be suppressed on this level.
After hearing what Hua Jiunan said, the deaf mother-in-law nodded repeatedly.
His face became more solemn.
"Hey, if that evil spirit really becomes a climate, I'm afraid it won't be easy to 'cure' it!"
In Chen Daji's mind, he didn't think there was anything difficult to cure.
No matter how powerful he is, can he still be more powerful than himself... his own boss? !
Besides, even if I am not the boss, I still have Brother Bald, Brother Chang, Godfather Xue Zhi, Grandpa Shu and the others!
With so many people coming together, even if the living King of Hell comes, he will be able to cut him and fart!
Even though he thought so, seeing the worried look on his deaf mother-in-law's face, she still opened her mouth to give her an idea.
"Grandma, you are old, don't worry."
"Let's bring up Xin Da's head now and let him tell the following."
"Why don't we get more people to look for him in Mopan Hell, and just kill that little brat!"
The deaf mother-in-law knew that although Chen Daji looked like a gangster, he was actually very filial.
She patted his hand happily and said.
"Silly boy, the old man from hell is gone, why should we deliberately give him a letter?"
"Maybe they've all been checked out by now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dark wind tornado coming out of the room.
In the tornado, a ghost spun in circles and slowly grew from small to large, until it stopped at the beam above its head.
The first born with two horns, a red face and a bald head, who else could it be but the ghost Xin Lianshan!
Xin Lianshan was obviously confused just now:
His big head swayed for a while before he managed to steady himself.
Just as he was about to say hello to Hua Jiunan and Chen Daji, he suddenly saw his deaf mother-in-law sitting on the kang.
He immediately put down the steel fork and knelt on the ground with a thud.
He worked so hard that his knees made two small dents in the cement floor.
"Xin Lianshan, the little devil, pays homage to the deaf ancestor!"
"I wish my ancestors to be as blessed as the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and to live as long as the evergreen pines in the Southern Mountains!"
The old man has always been humble, how could he let Yin Si Zhengshen kneel down and worship him.
He quickly reached out his hand to help him.
Unexpectedly, Xin Lianshan insisted on being polite and kowtowed three times with all his strength before he even stood up.
As a result, another big hole appeared on the concrete floor...
Chen Daji didn't understand Hao Gui's little thoughts and was quite complaining when he saw this.
"Xin Daguan, you must be crazy. Why are you kowtowing to grandma out of the blue?"
"This is so good, we have to hire someone to mop the floor again tomorrow!"
Xin Lianshan just laughed and muttered, "What's the point of kowtowing to grandma? It's not strange if there are many people..."
Note 1: Regarding the Eight Hells of Immortals, I am not making it up randomly. There is also a saying that one can become an immortal in five hells.
Legend has it that during the Song Dynasty, Huang Shang had double pupils, and after killing human beings, he attained enlightenment and became an immortal.
To become an immortal, you need to go through five hells: the hell of ice, the hell of fire, the hell of tongue pulling, the hell of intestines, and the hell of heart. Only then can you finally attain the path and become an immortal.
Serious illness and alchemy are also the prerequisites for becoming an immortal. Only when a person is seriously ill can he achieve great enlightenment.
Interested readers can check the relevant information by themselves.
Note 2: The Huang Shang mentioned above is not the person who wrote the "Nine Yin Zheng Jing" according to Mr. Wang's writing, but he does exist.
"Mr. Yanshan's Shinto Monument" says that he is "very engaged in the art of prolonging life and maintaining health. After reading Taoist books extensively, he often understands them deeply and participates in daily use."
