Ning Tao had never seen a ghost before, but since he met Ma Mian, he met several ghosts in one day. The same goes for Jiang Hao, Bai Jing and Qing Zhui. Even Bai Jing and Qing Zhui have been demons for hundreds of years, but they only saw ghosts until today.
Worlds, full of wonders.
Meng Jiaorong said: "Okay, you all go home, go, go..."
The sound was ethereal.
She took out a bell from somewhere in her hand and shook it gently, and the crisp sound of the bell rang in the dimly lit shop.
The young man, the mother and the son stood up from the bench and walked numbly towards the "Simple Hell Gate". When they arrived at the door, the young man was the first to go in. The dark space trembled, and the blinding object like black mist quickly faded away.
"Brother Ning, watch." Ma Mian reminded.
In fact, without his reminding, Ning Tao's eyes never left the "simple hell gate".
Inside the door, the black fog dissipated, and the young man's back was clearly visible. Under his feet was a bloody road that stretched forward with no end in sight.
In the distance, there were black clouds and flames rising into the sky, but I didn't know if it was a volcanic eruption or something else. There was no life in the entire space, and no green was visible. Black and blood were the main colors of that world.
Not just that young man, people kept coming in from other directions, and just like the young man, they gathered towards this road numbly. In front, there were densely packed people walking numbly, just like the refugees fleeing the famine years in ancient times.
Is that hell there
Just when Ning Tao was filled with surprise and confusion, the mother and daughter also walked in and walked forward slowly and numbly.
"Dear guests, do you want to go in and take a look?" Meng Jiaorong's voice broke the eerie silence in the small shop.
Ning Tao finally came to his senses: "Well... let's forget it."
"Then I'm closing the door?" Meng Jiaorong looked at the horse's face and said.
Ma Mian nodded: "Close it, there is nothing interesting to see at the Hell Gate. There is no scenery. If you walk a little further, you can see the ever-erupting volcanoes and flowing magma rivers, with corpses floating inside. Some are still burning..."
Jiang Hao coughed dryly.
Ning Tao said: "Well, that's it, brother Ma Mian, if you have any news here, you can come to me at any time, I will be in University Alley."
"Okay, my legs are inconvenient, so I won't send brother Ning and three younger siblings off. Goodbye." Ma Mian said.
Ning Tao nodded without saying goodbye.
The three women stood up and left with Ning Tao, not wanting to stay in this place for a second.
When he walked to the door, Ning Tao suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked: "Brother Ma Mian, there is something I don't understand."
"Brother Ning, why didn't you mess with Meng Bo? Tell me." Ma Mian said.
Ning Tao said: "I understand that people with sins will go to hell. But if people with merit go to heaven, where will they go?"
The three women also turned to look at the horse's face. They were also deeply curious about the answer to Ning Tao's question.
"Hahaha..." Ma Mian laughed loudly.
Meng Jiaorong also laughed: "Jie Jie Jie..."
The two ghosts laughed like this. The sight was scary, and the sound was also scary.
"Why are you two laughing?" Ning Tao said, "Did I say something wrong?"
Ma Mian finally stopped laughing: "Brother Ning, Brother Ning, you didn't say anything wrong. Your fault is that you are too naive. This world is just a prison, and all living beings are prisoners. People with merit are just to pay for their crimes and perform meritorious deeds. At most, you can live a better life in the next life. How can you talk about going to heaven? Heaven is the immortal world. Brother Ning, you are already a semi-immortal, but when you are about to suffer a catastrophe, God will send down a punishment to stop you. You have to survive the catastrophe and compete with God for your fate before you can go to the fairy world."
Ning Tao was shocked.
This world is a prison. He has heard this statement more than once, but he has never believed it. Now that it was said from the mouth of the evil ghost Ma Mian, he had to believe it. For no other reason, because Ma Mian really came from hell, and he also saw several real ghosts here tonight!
He asks this question because he is a natural mediator between good and evil, and he punishes evil and promotes good. He used huge profits to punish evildoers and asked people not to do evil. He helps good people and teaches them to do good. Because he also believes that people who do evil will go to hell, and people who do good will go to heaven. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a huge lie!
Those who do evil and those who do good will go to hell. The only difference is that those who do evil will suffer in hell, and those who do good will be blessed in the next life.
In fact, wasn’t the little girl just now a living example? She was so young, how could she have done anything evil, and what kind of sin was there? But she still followed her mother to hell.
However, what surprised him the most was Ma Mian's statement that heaven is the fairyland.
If people want to go to heaven, they need to become cultivators and compete with God to survive the catastrophe!
Cultivation is the only way to overcome the heavenly tribulation, but this is not a way to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. This is completely a way to escape from prison!
How many people have been able to escape from prison throughout the ages
The three women were also shocked, and Ma Mian's statement touched them quite a lot.
While the four members of the Ning family were stunned, Meng Jiao looked strangely and said with a strange smile, "Master Ma Cha, you are leaking a secret."
Ma Mian spat: "I am an evil ghost and will never be reincarnated. What the hell am I afraid of? That day, it can't control our place, so just go and do whatever you have to do."
Meng Jiaorong turned the bronze basin, and the simple version of the door to hell slowly closed.
"Thank you." Ning Tao led his three wives out of the shop.
A middle-aged man walked towards me, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a pit on his head.
This person was none other than a middle-aged man who died in a car accident.
Ning Tao's heart moved. When he passed by, he raised his elbow and hit the middle-aged man's arm.
Hit.
Ning Tao's elbow and the middle-aged man's arm passed through each other. No one affected the other, and there was no feeling of collision at all.
The middle-aged man walked in. He didn't seem to see Ma Mian, who looked like him, sitting in a wheelchair. He said, "Boss, have a bowl of noodles and add an egg."
"Okay, come." Meng Jiaorong's voice.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head, leading his three wives forward.
No one in the family of four spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Walking out of the alley, Ning Tao stopped and looked back. How could there be any Meng Jiaorong's shop in that alley? It was dark and there wasn't even a light. The two sides of the alley are not low tile houses or stone streets, but a dirty and messy alley with only walls on both sides.
At the entrance of the alley, under the streetlight, a used aunt's towel was lying on the ground not far from the entrance of the alley, which was particularly eye-catching.
"This is impossible!" Bai Jing said in surprise: "Even if it is a blinding spell, except for my good sister, all three of us can see it. It makes no sense that none of us can see it, right?"
Jiang Hao suddenly frowned: "Bai Laoer, what do you mean? Are you saying that I am not as good as you?"
Bai Jing shrugged: "I didn't say that."
A quarrel can also arise in this situation.
Ning Tao intervened in time: "Stop arguing and listen to what I have to say."
Bai Jing and Jiang Hao rolled their eyes at each other.
Qing Zhui didn't help anyone, she was already used to it.
Ning Tao said: "I don't think this is a spell."
Qing Zhui asked curiously: "It's not a spell, what is it?"
Ning Tao said: "We are really going to the portal of the underworld. Meng Jiaorong is a gatekeeper. He didn't go anywhere else, so he came here. With him here, what we see is different. He No longer, what we see is something in this world. We can understand this place as a space overlap, just like... like... the wormhole in science fiction will be attracted here. Come on, let Meng Jiaorong open the door and escort him down."
Bai Jing said: "I just heard that Ma Mian say that heaven is the fairy world. Didn't those cultivators who failed to overcome the tribulation go to hell?"
Ning Tao smiled bitterly: "Maybe..."
Jiang Hao said: "Then if we can't survive the catastrophe, won't we also have to go to hell?"
Ning Tao was silent for a moment before saying: "This world is a prison, and it has been firmly established. But don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely let you survive the catastrophe."
Qing Zhui held Ning Tao's hand and said, "Then we will continue to be husband and wife in the fairy world."
Ning Tao felt a little more relaxed and said with a smile: "No matter what heaven or hell, I will just tell you, take life or death lightly, if you don't accept it, then do it!"
Qing Zhui waved his fist: "Yes, if you don't accept it, I'll do it!"
"Who?" Bai Jing asked.
Ning Tao: "?"
Bai Jing said: "No, husband, didn't you just say that you don't care about life and death, and you will do it if you don't accept it? There must be a goal, right? Who do you want to do?"
Ning Tao: "..."
If you do whatever you don't accept in front of the Lich King, you must have the consciousness of integrity.
However, Bai Jing's dirty words livened up the atmosphere of the family of four.
That's true, everyone is a cultivator. As long as nothing happens, they can live for a thousand or two thousand years. But all the living beings in the world only have a lifespan of a few dozen, and they have to experience birth, old age, illness and death, separation from their loved ones and mortgage payments... Compared to them, what else can't be satisfied
After a while, a battery car drove into University Lane and drove forward along the street. There were four people in the car. Ning Tao was holding the handlebar, and there were three women behind him. Bai Jing was holding his waist, Qing Zhui was holding Bai Jing's waist, and Jiang Hao was holding Qing Zhui's waist. They were four in a row.
It was already early in the morning, and the streets were deserted, with not a single pedestrian in sight. The shops on both sides of the street were also closed, and the whole street was deserted.
When driving to the Tianjia Replenishment Hospital, Ning Tao slowed down the Tiandao battery car.
In the cool night breeze, the signboard of Li Xiazi's massage parlor swayed gently in the wind, making a creaking sound.
Ning Tao looked at the dilapidated wooden door and secretly said in his heart: "How many things are you hiding from me?"
