I nodded and said, "Don't worry, you and Granny Sang take turns reminding me. It's hard to remember. However, it's rare that you care about me so much, and I'm moved to tears."
"Liar." Ah San took a bite of me and said, "I'm just afraid that you will be killed by someone. Lian Dao will really come to my trouble."
Speaking of Lien Daozhen, I just remembered that I hadn't seen him for many days. When I first left, I thought of him every hour, but now, I rarely think about him once in a day or two. Could it be said that men are really like the saying, have the opposite sex without friendship
I am definitely not such a person. The main reason is that too many things have happened in the past few days, which makes it difficult for people to think about other things. Now that I am free, I naturally think about how Lien Daozhen is now. Did those children dug out the cave? Have they already begun to learn Taohuayuan's spells
Thinking of Ren Daojin, I naturally thought of Ji Sun.
After so many days, Ji Sun has not contacted me, and I don’t know if that palm has arrived in Chi You Tomb. If he comes, can he use my body to escape the catastrophe like in the inference? If we can't hide, we both will probably die because of this.
Thinking of this, my mood immediately became very bad.
Ah San is an extremely sensitive person. Seeing that my face was a little ugly, he asked, "What's the matter? You won't be really scared, are you?"
I shook my head, rubbed my temples, and said, "It's nothing, I might be a little bracing after eating too much, and my stomach hurts."
Asan said, "Are you cheating, your stomach hurts and rubbing your temples? A large intestine grows in your mind?"
I looked at her helplessly, not ordinary people can help with Ji Sun. I didn't even tell Daozhen, how could I tell her.
Seeing that I didn't want to say, Ah San hummed and didn't ask any more.
We set off again, heading to Fengdu. From beginning to end, Black Gu never sent anyone to find us. Come to think of it, they know that their methods are ineffective, and they can't use it strong, naturally there is no other way to think of. Or, they are thinking about whether to tell Asan more in exchange for a chance for cooperation.
For Black Gu, pitting talents is their favorite method, serious business? how can that be possible.
This episode is not important to us. When Ah San talked about it with me on the road, he just said: "Since they want to find someone to steal, it must be very important. Resurrection is a good thing, if it's just pure Resurrection, the whole Miaojiang will not refuse. Therefore, they must have concealed something, it is probably something that the whole Miaojiang cannot accept."
I asked: "You didn't intend to remind Mr. Nador?"
"Their family affairs, why do we mix in and go around for no reason, what's the good?" Ah San said.
I knew this was her style of doing things, so I nodded and stopped talking about it.
Chongqing and Xiangxi are connected. They just walked on two legs, and finally didn't take the car as fast as possible. If it's just me and Asan, it's okay to ride the car, but with Ada and the baby's body, there will be no way. Besides, there is a monk Jueming next to him. Although the great monk does not have a high sense of existence, he is still a living person anyway. Five people rubbing the car together? It is estimated that those who are willing to stop dare not stop.
After many days, we finally saw a rushing river.
The faint river roared and rolled around a city, Chongqing.
Many years ago, I always thought that Chongqing was a city in Sichuan. It was not until a long time later that someone told me that Chongqing is Chongqing, and I did not understand that it is a municipality directly under the Central Government. Some people say that Chongqing is a city of mountains and rivers, I don't know if it is right, but looking at this modern city surrounded by rivers and mountains, I can't help but feel very magnificent.
However, the purpose of our trip is not Chongqing, but Fengdu.
Feng is not in the downtown area of Chongqing, but in a subordinate county. It is said that it originated in the Han Dynasty and has a history of two thousand years. It can be said that the ghost city of Fengdu has been continuously modified and improved in the past two thousand years, and then gradually becomes what people see today.
Several of us asked for the way for a long time, and it took a long time to get there.
Ah San pointed to a huge building on the mountain and said, "Look, that's Fengdu."
I looked up and saw a magnificent temple settled halfway up the mountain. It was tall and majestic, and it looked very upright, without the slightest sense of gloom. I was a little surprised and said, "This is Fengdu?"
As A San walked up with the crowd, he said, "Does it feel different from what you imagined?"
I nodded and said, "It's so different. I thought Feng is a gloomy place. I didn't expect it to be so simple."
"Because this is a scenic spot, not the real capital city." Asan explained: "If you go there, all you can see are monks, not even a Taoist priest."
I was even more surprised and asked, "Isn't Feng Taoist?"
"Of course it is." Asan said, "It's just that Buddhism spread too widely and too quickly. Taoism was robbed by Buddhism except for those holy places. Even in this capital city, people only know the king of Yama and the ten. Eight levels of hell, how do you understand what the real hell is?"
I thought about it for a while, and then decided not to lose face, and decided to ask without shame: "The underworld should have been eighteen layers of hells and ten temples of Yama. This is what I have heard since I was young.
"It means that what you have heard is wrong, or that it does not belong to our netherworld." Asan said: "Yama King is the name in Sanskrit. After Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, this name was inherited. Then, again, The underworld was changed to eighteen layers of hell, and it was a mess. Now few people know what an underworld is."
I asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
Asan said: "Naturally, it is the twenty-four hell where the Wufang Ghost Emperor and the Northern Yin Capital Emperor are located. However, this is also a matter after the Han Dynasty. The earliest underworld should be the ghost country of the mythical age. It is said that the country is in the middle of the country. There is a mountain of Dushuo, with a large peach tree on it, which is three thousand miles away. The northeast of its branches is called the gate of ghosts, and the place of ghosts is also in and out. There are two gods on the mountain, one is called Shentu, the other is called Yu Lei, and the master is reading Lead ten thousand ghosts. This should be the earliest underworld, but in that era, almost no one would die, because all the living were gods, and when the gods died, there would be no souls."
"Where did the ghosts under the control of the ghost country come from?" I asked.
Asan hesitated, and then said uncertainly: "Perhaps the ghosts of that era were similar to us, or they were souls different from gods. Later for some reason, the era of mythology disappeared, and the souls of the ghost kingdom became People, instead of gods, dominate the world, and then return to the ghost country after death. The ghost country has also become an underworld, with immortals settled in it, becoming the Great Emperor of Beiyin and the Ghost Emperor of the Five Sides."
I was stunned, Ah San's conjecture was too outrageous, but I couldn't say that it was completely impossible. If the ancient apes can become humans, then I think there is nothing unacceptable for the so-called ghosts in the country of ghosts to become humans. Perhaps in the eyes of most people, it is easier to understand the transformation from ghosts to humans than the transformation from apes to humans. .
I smiled and gave a thumbs up to Ah San, and said: "You can go to the overpass to tell the story. I really froze what I said. It’s the first time I know there are so many things in the underworld. I guess More than 80% of the people in the world think that the Ten Temple Yama and the eighteen hells are real."
"It's not true." Asan glanced at the monk Jueming and said, "Maybe, the hell of Buddhism is like that. It's just that we are not monks, so naturally we should know what the hell of our home is."
Monk Jueming never said a word. I was afraid that he would be awkward because of Asan's words, so he said: "We are just discussing the difference between Buddhism and Taoism. Are you interested in talking about it?"
Monk Jue Ming shook his head and said, "I just want to find Buddha."
I said, "Looking for the Buddha will not delay discussing Buddhism, anyhow you are also a monk.
Monk Jue Ming shook his head again and said, "Buddha is a Buddha, and Buddhism is Buddhism. I understand Buddha but I don't understand Buddhism. I am a monk but not a Buddhist, so I don't talk about it."
I was stunned slightly, the great monk's words were a bit esoteric, and it didn't make people understand too much. Monk, isn’t he a Buddhist
Asan glanced at me, smiled and said, "Okay, don't drag these things with him. Learning Buddhism and Buddhism are originally two different things. Taoism is the same. In the beginning, the sects that came from, all walked all over the floor. Gods and immortals. Less, later generations will study him, and then there will be various factions."
It suddenly dawned on me and said, "Isn't this the same as scientific research. You think peanuts are delicious like this. I think peanuts are delicious like that. He thinks peanuts are best if they are not fried."
Ah San laughed out loud and said, "Where have you met a scientist who specializes in fried peanuts? Are you one of them?"
I laughed, feeling embarrassed, and said, "Don't talk about these useless things. Since the underworld here is not what we are looking for, what else are we going to do?"
Asan said: "When did I say to look for the underground palace, we are here to look for the capital."
"Feng is not the land... Uh, okay." When I was halfway through, I realized that the capital is the capital, and the prefecture is the prefecture. The two are just like Buddha and Buddhism, gods and Taoism. They seem to be the same, but in fact they are completely It's not the same thing.
Strictly speaking, Fengdu is the ghost country of the mythical age, while the underground palace is the construction of Taoism and Buddhism of the descendants.
Asan said: "This place was built by man. What we are looking for is the real Fengdu. The place is invisible with the naked eye. I saw the record in an ancient book earlier and someone found the entrance here. If we also If you can find it, it is possible to find the soul of the dead. Of course, provided that my guess is correct."
Asan said that the guess is correct, which naturally refers to her guess about the ghost country. She had previously guessed that after the era of mythology was shattered, the ghost country changed greatly. Ghosts became humans, and they became ghosts again after death. If this speculation is true, then as long as we find the entrance to Fengdu, we might really be able to bring out the human soul.
With the soul, things about the body are not difficult, especially for infant corpses and bronze armored corpses, which have preserved their flesh. (End of this chapter)
