After walking a few steps, Yang Jiaren saw a sign on the front door of a big house that read "Ghost Realm Fort" in bold letters. He flashed the package he was carrying in front of the young Yin soldier and said, "It's good to have a place to live. It will also have a place to put the offerings that I received from the relatives of the Yang family and burned them."
Arriving at the main entrance of Ghost Realm Fort, the young Yin soldier did not take Yang Jiaren in immediately, but asked him to take a look at the row of promotional windows at the door. After reading it carefully, he understood:
It turns out that the underworld has formulated laws, regulations and legal holidays for the ghosts in the Ghost Realm Castle. The ghosts who live in the Ghost Realm Castle can return to the earth on specific days and under certain circumstances, but these ghosts must strictly abide by the scope of their own ways and behaviors. Taoism requires that there are strict rules on when you can reveal your body, when you can go home, when you can possess someone, and when you can collect offerings.
If a ghost dares to disobey the laws and disciplines, he will be caught by the day and night patrols sent by the underworld to the underworld and be brought before the Tenth Hall of Hell to be questioned until he is sent to the eighteenth level of hell.
Then, the young Yin soldier took Yang Jiaren into the Ghost Realm Fort. The guard asked for Yang Jiaren's approval before giving him the key. The key is marked on the left side of the third unit of the fifth row of rooms.
The young Yin soldier said, I can go, you can go find it yourself. Yang Jiaren looked at him gratefully and said, "I'm not very familiar with it yet. Can you take me there?" The young Yin soldier thought: I have already sent you to the door, and I don’t care about walking a few more steps. He immediately waved his hand and said, come with me.
It's gloomy inside the Ghost Realm Castle, but you can basically see the road. The young Yin soldier led the Yang family around several times until they arrived at the door of the room they were supposed to arrive at. Open the door and go in. The structure is different from the house in the Yangjian. There are four small rooms and a living room arranged according to the directions of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. The four small rooms are called the golden room, the wooden room, the water room and the fire room, and the living room is called the earth room.
At that moment, the young Yin Bing asked Yang Jiaren what his zodiac sign was during his lifetime, and he answered that he was a sheep. The young Yin Bing said, then you'd better live in the living room. Sheep is not earth, and the living room is an earth room, which matches your zodiac sign.
Yang Jiaren said, why is this living room occupied? The young Yin Bing smiled and said, Fire generates earth, you can also live in the fire room. The young man also shared common sense about life in the underworld. Yang Jiaren was very grateful to him and took out two gold ingots from the package and gave them to him.
He refused and was about to leave. Yang Jiaren said, then I will pick up your guest and go to have a tooth ceremony somewhere? If you are familiar with this underworld, you can choose a place. The young Yin soldier said, "That's fine. Let's go to the restaurant across the street from the Fifth Hall and have something to eat."
The difference between the underworld and the underworld is that all vegetarian restaurants here are vegetarian. At that moment, young Yin Bing led Yang Jiaren to a seasonal vegetable restaurant and each ordered a serving of fresh vegetable boiled noodles.
Yang Jiaren felt that the soup noodles tasted much more delicious than those in the Yang world. Talking about this, the young Yin soldier told him a true story, saying that during the Tang Dynasty, there was an official who had the ability to cut off the Yin and Yang at night, and the underworld invited him to come. Hell solved the case. After the case was settled, he did not return to Yang immediately. Instead, he greedily ate the delicious food in the underworld restaurant. As a result, he ate too much and could not return to Yang.
What do you mean by telling this story? Are you reminding me not to eat too much food from the underworld? Yang Jiaren asked.
No, you have become a ghost. As long as you can eat it, you can eat whatever you want. You can't return to Yang anyway. I tell you this story to tell you that people in the yang world who have the opportunity or the ability to cross over from the yin world must not eat food from the underworld casually, otherwise it will be difficult to return to yang. Even if you return to yang, you will suffer from serious illness, and the three flowers will not gather at the top. The five qi are not facing the yuan. The young Yin soldier spoke eloquently.
Yang Jiaren changed the topic and pointed to the fifth hall across the street. I had a church there a few days ago and thought the environment there was very good. I really want to visit again and feast my eyes on it. The young Yin soldier stood up and said, "It doesn't matter if I take you to see it."
So Yang Jiaren followed him out of the restaurant and went straight to the fifth hall. He saw blossoming lotus flowers appearing at the entrance of the white jade hall, bursts of fragrance, and all kinds of auspiciousness that caught the eye.
There is also a couplet at the door of the five halls: In the underworld, there are ten halls and five main halls; in the eighteen hells, hundreds of punishments are used to rectify the law. Yang Jiaren raised his thumb and said, not bad, not bad. The young Yin soldier said, "You haven't seen anything better yet." Yang Jiaren took a few steps forward and felt a strong air-conditioning feeling, so he immediately turned back.
The young Yin soldier led him and said as he walked that the Five Halls of Hell were inhabited by King Senluo, and he was very majestic. Some guilty souls went in to be tried, but before they were even promoted to the hall, they softened their thorns. Yang Jiaren stuck out his tongue and trembled. Once he calmed down, he changed the subject and asked the young Yin soldier, if I live in the Ghost Realm Castle and watch out the ghost life, what kind of person will I be in my future reincarnation?
So how do I know? I can only tell you that reincarnation is divided into ten levels: the first-level people, who become Buddhas and make the decision; the second-level people, who are officials and princes; the third-level people, who are the consorts of the court; the fourth-level people, who are civil and military ministers; the fifth-level people, who are rich and powerful; The sixth class people are called poor in the streets; the seventh class people are transformed into horses by throwing themselves into donkeys; the eighth class people are animals and birds; the ninth class people are pigs and dogs in the next life; the tenth class people are fish, turtles and shrimps. Which class of people you belong to is determined by your own karma. The young Yin soldier explained this.
If I become a person below the seventh level, it would be better to live in this ghost world castle and be a ghost forever. Yang Jiaren weighed the pros and cons and spoke.
If you are a person below the seventh level, you may not be qualified to live in this ghost world castle, and you have already gone to hell to be tortured. As the young Yin Bing spoke, he found that he and Yang Jiaren had already walked to the street.
Yang Jiaren was about to say goodbye to the young Yin soldiers and prepare to return to the Ghost Realm Fort. He looked up and saw bright lights coming from the front of West Street, which were not dazzling at all. A lotus platform appeared in the bright light, with gold as the main color and seven colors as supplements. , Yang Jiaren felt extremely happy and comfortable.
He immediately gave up the idea of returning to Ghost Realm Castle and asked the young Yin soldier where that place was. The answer is the twelfth station of the underworld, the Lotus Terrace. There was a lotus seal with the size of a thread on the forehead of the young Yin soldier. When he said this, he stretched out his hand to touch it. Yang Jiaren looked up at his round face shaped like a small lotus leaf and asked with a smile, can I call you Brother Hades Soldier?
You call me soldier brother! I'm younger than you. The young Yin soldier replied.
Okay, Brother Bing, let me ask you, is the lotus mark on your forehead a natural one? Yang Jiaren asked.
The young Yin soldier did not answer immediately, and his expression suddenly became solemn. Let's ask him to change the subject. Brother Ren, in front of him is the lotus throne where Ksitigarbha gave lectures in hell. Go and ask Ksitigarbha to bless you.
But Yang Jiaren stopped and kept asking him, Brother Bing, you haven't answered me yet, how did you get that beautiful lotus mark on your forehead?
