Then we walked through a dark winding path, which gradually became brighter. In front of us was a spacious street filled with people. Of course, there were also some chickens, dogs, horses, cattle and sheep among the crowd. Whether they were humans or aliens, they were in groups. They were all very orderly, not noisy or noisy, and moved forward in an orderly manner, as if they were going somewhere to catch up. Xu Jing's soul asked Si Zhushen where this place was, and he said that it was close to the tenth palace in the underworld, the Palace of the Wheel King. If human souls still have to go through the first nine halls, it would be much easier for the souls of animals to be sent directly here to be reincarnated.
Now, on the street, the Animal God led it to the east of the Fertile Reef, which reached directly to the Five Turbid Worlds, and saw a huge gully with surging floods in the middle, consisting of a golden bridge, a silver bridge, a jade bridge, a stone bridge, The wooden bridges are connected, and each of these five bridges can lead to the other side. Although the people walking on them are all human spirits, they are also divided into levels. Those with superior virtues in life will walk on the gold bridge after death, followed by the silver bridge, and then again. The next best thing is to walk on the jade bridge, the next best thing is to walk on the stone bridge, and the next best thing is to walk on the wooden bridge. Of course, even after death, animals are not qualified to walk on the wooden bridge. Xu Jing's soul found it amusing to see the five-color bridge with different materials and horizontal structures, as if it were a sightseeing tour, but was also frightened.
The Animal God handed it over to a ghost soldier on duty and returned. The ghost soldier had a peaceful temperament and hung a soft rope so that Xu Jing's soul, a big mouse, could hang on it and be pulled in by it. In the dense inner hall of the building, there is a small pavilion with the words "Ten Halls Chakravartin" on the top, which looks magnificent. A middle-aged man wearing a square flat-top official hat was sitting in the pavilion, his eyes bright and clear, looking at the six living beings coming and going, including sheep, dogs, pigs and other livestock. Of course, human beings had the most spiritual bodies. Xu Jing eagerly wanted to see what happened. The ghost soldier said that the middle-aged man was the Wheel-turning King. What you will become in the next life will be determined by the deputy sitting next to him who will examine your karma. Xu Jing asked which deputy it was, and Gui Zu smiled and said, wasn't there a person sitting on each side of the table? It's the one wearing a round hat and a pair of pointed earrings. The bald man without a hat on the other side is the thug. Anyone who causes trouble will be punished by him. Xu Jing looked closely at the shiny hook hidden under his arm, guessing that it might be a tool used to hook troublemakers.
Walking into the inner hall, the ghost soldiers followed the spirits of all living beings and stopped in front of the Wheel King's desk. It was Xu Jing's turn to check the karma. The ghost soldiers talked about its origins, and the deputy hands one by one It was recorded in the record and then presented to the Wheel-turning King for review. The Wheel-turning King said: This rat reincarnated in the lower realms has not yet ended its bad fate and will continue to be reincarnated as a rat. Then he took a reincarnation ticket and handed it to the ghost soldier: You can send it to the animal realm and be reincarnated as a rat.
After Xu Jing heard this, she cried out in sorrow: I want to become a human and not a mouse, I want to become a human and not a mouse...
The wheel-turning king slapped the table: "Don't be rude. You have done many evil things. You deserve it if you turn into a mouse again. How can you control what you change?"
Xu Jing refused to listen and was still jumping up and down in front of the palace, saying that it would not change anything and would let the King of Wheels execute it.
The bald thug next to Chakravartin glanced at her, and in just a moment, Xu Jing felt a heartbreaking pain. Her body could no longer move and could only tremble slightly. It turned out that its body had been pierced with a hook by the bald thug. The bald thug said: It is not up to you to decide whether it wants to die or live.
Xu Jing moaned lowly and said: Even if I change into a rat, I won't change into a rat. If I am reincarnated as a rat again, I can't guarantee that I won't continue to spread the plague and harm mankind. Because humans regard rats as one of the four pests and chase them when they see them. If I were reincarnated as a rat, how could I not take revenge on humans?
After hearing these words, the deputy raised his hand to the Chakravartin King and interjected: Your Majesty, in my opinion, this mouse will no longer be reincarnated as a normal mouse. Just let it change on the way to the next three levels.
How can it be reborn as an animal? The Wheel King discussed with his deputy.
Can you make it a weasel?
OK! The King of Wheels exchanged a reincarnation ticket for the ghost soldier.
The bald thug pulled out the hook from Xu Jing's rat flesh. It was bloody. Xu Jing screamed in pain. Seeing that its toes and claws were unable to hold the rope, the ghost soldiers held it up with their hands and walked out of the palace door.
At this time, there were many spirits of sentient beings, and the ghost soldiers were crowded among them, slowly moving to the left and forward, sometimes even stopping. Xu Jing, the spirit of the mouse, also wanted to see what was causing the congestion in front, so she It crawled from the ghost soldier's palm to his arm and then jumped up to his shoulder. It looked up and saw that many people's spirits were standing at the edge of a pavilion marked Meng Po Pavilion. A man inside skillfully picked up a large pot on a long table. , sifted out bowls of tea and handed them to the spirits of all the people who passed by to drink.
Xu Jing asked in confusion: Are they all thirsty? Is it okay not to drink?
The ghost soldier smiled and said: They are not thirsty. The spirits of all the dead must pass through this place and must drink. If they do not drink, they will not be able to pass.
Why? It seems that Xu Jing wants to break the casserole pattern (question) to the end.
The ghost soldier told it that everyone has memory. When a person dies, the body is lost. The memory is not dead, but exists in the person's alaya consciousness. What is memory? It is emotional experience, including longing for three relatives and six dependents, of course the knowledge and skills learned, and even people's awareness of love, hatred, and so on. You see, the spirits of these people seem to be drinking tea. In fact, it is not tea. It is the Forgetting Soup, which is also the Forgetting Soup in the world of the world. Drinking it will forget the things remembered in the world, including all the things in the world. Forget all the happiness, anger, sorrow, gratitude and resentment, so that you can be free from worries and follow your karma to be reborn where you should go.
Xu Jing felt it was too mysterious, so she asked who made the soup and if she wanted to drink it.
While waiting in line, Gui Zu said in a leisurely manner: "Jiwangtang is brewed by God Meng Po with a kind of Chinese medicine that anesthetizes the nerves. It is specially drunk for human beings' spiritual bodies, and is generally not given to other living beings." Drink, living beings other than humans are mainly animals, including you, the mouse.
Hearing this, Xu Jing suddenly climbed down from the ghost soldier's shoulders, returned to his palm and remained silent. The ghost soldier felt strange and asked why it had flinched away. It said it had seen Feng Tuo.
Who is Feng Tou? The ghost soldier still didn't know, so he asked the gangster next to him and found out that Feng Tou was Xu Jing's enemy - Xu Jing was a man in her previous life. She was accidentally killed by Feng Tou in order to steal, but later she turned into a female rat and was infected with the plague and died. Feng Tou. Now Feng Tou's spirit body is receiving the Jiwangtang to drink in front of Meng Po Pavilion. After that, he will be sent to a poor family in the west of Dongtu Kingdom to be reincarnated. After Feng Tuo drank the Jiwangtang, the shadow of melancholy seemed to have been wiped away from his face, showing a calm attitude.
The ghost soldier bowed his head and said to Xu Jing: Big mouse, don't be afraid, that Feng Tou has forgotten the grudge between you. However, the bad fate she formed with you was only transformed by the medicinal anesthesia of Yiwangtang. In the next life, whether she becomes a human or reincarnates into a different species, and encounters you, no matter which species appears, she may have an affair with you. A life-and-death conflict.
Xu Jing asked if it could be avoided?
It’s hard to say! The ghost soldier looked at it with a heavy heart, and then said slowly, there is only one way to avoid conflict with it, that is, when you are reincarnated as a human, enrich your character with good knowledge, and then use kind actions when enemies get together. Persuade her and influence her.
Hearing this, Xu Jing sighed and said in her heart: I fell into the animal realm and suffered, when will I be reincarnated as a human body?
That requires you not to harm any life for three consecutive lives. The ghost soldiers enlighten it.
Xu Jing thought, this is difficult to do. Rats eat meat and fish. If they eat, they will inevitably harm lives, at least they will harm lives smaller than themselves. Xu Jing didn't ask the ghost soldier anymore and climbed onto its shoulder again, only to see a man tying a black cat with a rope and fixing its head on an iron frame so that it couldn't move. The cat was making loud noises like a child. howl. A woman pried open its mouth with chopsticks, and a man from Meng Po Pavilion poured a cup of Jiwangtang into its mouth.
