"Going to Yin?"
Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked at each other.
Unexpectedly, the eminent monk from Bailong Temple actually came to visit him for this purpose.
After being surprised, Jin An shook his head and apologized to Master Shanneng, saying that he and the old Taoist priest would not go into hiding.
After hearing Jin An's answer, Master Shanneng just looked at Jin An and smiled without saying a word.
Jin An immediately understood what the other party meant.
He looked slightly surprised.
The man in front of me is indeed a distinguished monk from Bailong Temple, and he actually knows how to walk in the dark.
However, Jin An did not give an immediate reply. Instead, he asked Master Shanneng doubtfully why he came to them.
Master Shan Neng did not hide anything. He said bluntly that when traveling in the Yin world, the physical body is in the Yang world, and the soul descends to the Yin world. At that time, the physical body in the Yang world is equivalent to an empty shell, and has no protection or resistance in the face of danger.
If an enemy suddenly breaks in at that time and destroys the body, the soul will never be able to return to the earth.
So Master Shanneng approached Jin An, the old Taoist priest, and the He family.
He planned to go to the underworld in person at the He family, which was the most heavily protected and had many masters. If Jin An and the old Taoist priests were unwilling to accompany him to the underworld, then he wanted to ask Jin An and the old Taoist priests to protect his body.
It would not cause his physical body to suffer disaster and be destroyed.
Master Shanneng's words are indeed true. In Lingqian Township, the place with the most stringent protection is the He family's ancestral residence.
The dozen or so direct bodyguard masters brought by the eldest wife alone are all skilled in close combat, and they can also bend their bows and pierce through enemies with a hundred steps.
There are also dozens of people working in the He family's ancestral home, and these nurses are all well-trained.
The strength gathered in the He family's ancestral home at this time was comparable to a local armed force.
The reason why Master Shanneng chose to go to the underworld in Lingqian Township instead of returning to the Bailong Temple where masters from the Luohan Hall of the Discipline Academy gathered and then go to the underworld was because Master Shanneng was worried about the long nights and dreams.
I am worried that the longer I am delayed on the way back and forth to Fucheng, the more the truth will be erased.
Master Shanneng also just arrived in Lingqian Township this morning. He will leave for Yin in the evening. He really does not waste a moment and cares about the common people. Since Master Shanneng is willing to make such a sacrifice, Jin An will naturally not refuse.
, after all, he is also half a Taoist disciple now, so he cannot discredit or hold back Taoist disciples when he travels around the world.
This is called getting involved in cause and effect.
"Okay, I would like to accompany Master Shanneng on a trip to the underworld."
"Old Taoist, you and Xiejian are responsible for protecting Master Shanneng and I's bodies from being stolen by big rats or wild cats, and we cannot return to the sun before dawn."
"I know that you, old Taoist, also want to follow me to the underworld, but there is no one to take care of me when sharpening my sword. I'm worried that my body will be hollowed out by Mrs. Rat, Zongzi, and Wong Tai Sin, and he will be able to sit in a daze all the time."
The old Taoist priest who originally wanted to go to the underworld was immediately amused by Jin An's words.
"Little brother, who is Mrs. Mouse?"
The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An curiously.
Jin An thought for a while and replied: "A big rice dumpling that cannot be eaten."
…
Talk about it.
The first time Jin An went to the underworld, he lay in a coffin and went to the underworld with Mr. Yin and Yang.
But that trip to the underworld was definitely not the way for a normal living person to go to the underworld.
That time, he was almost entangled by an invisible dead child. It could be said that there were many dangers along the way, and he was close to death.
So Jin An was very curious, what would it be like for a normal person to be in the underworld?
And this was one of the reasons why he agreed to accompany Master Shanneng on his journey to the underworld.
Seeing that Jin An agreed to walk together, Master Shanneng chanted a Buddhist chant and began to arrange the walk.
First, a pregnant woman who had just given birth prematurely and stillborn was invited and the fetal remains were dug out.
It was not easy to find a candidate at the beginning. The people of Kangding State were very particular about burying themselves in peace. There was no reason to dig graves after burial. No one else would agree.
Fortunately, He's family came forward at this time.
Mr. He ordered someone to find an honest couple. They were dark-skinned and dressed in linen clothes. They looked like they had to work hard every day with their faces facing the loess and their backs turned to the sky. They were tenants of the He family.
The couple is clean and tidy, and they don't look like those in the old society who were sallow and skinny and didn't have enough to eat all year round.
This also reflects that the He family has a good reputation in the local area and is not harsh on these tenants.
But there was an unconcealable sadness in this couple.
Not long ago, their unborn child was born prematurely and died prematurely. The couple was deeply shocked.
When the He family came forward and told the reason in person, they said that the real culprit who caused so many babies to die prematurely in Lingqian Township may still be at large. Today, some eminent monks and Taoist priests want to use the corpses of premature babies and those who have worked hard to conceive them for several months.
Mother helped, started a forum, found the real culprit, and avenged the people of Lingqian Township for so many innocent babies who died young.
As soon as she heard that her child who had died in infancy was mentioned again and was sad again, the mother suddenly burst into tears and the husband sighed to comfort his wife.
After a while of persuasion from the He family, the couple finally agreed to assist in the journey to the underworld, and also allowed the He family to re-excavate the bones of their unborn child that had been buried.
When the He family offered compensation, the couple refused, saying that although they were from poor backgrounds, they knew how to act with conscience and repay kindness.
Everyone is also trying to find the real culprit for their children, so how can they be greedy for money without conscience.
"Amitabha."
"After this incident is over, the Poor Monk Association and the two Taoist priests will personally recite the salvation sutra for all the children in Lingqian Township for three days and three nights, hoping that they will be able to see their parents again in their next life."
Master Shanneng sang the name of the Buddha and spoke with great compassion.
"Supreme Taiyi saves the Lord Ku Tianzun." Jin An and the old Taoist priest nodded in agreement with Master Shanneng's statement.
actually.
Jin An and the old Taoist priest knew it very well.
The three souls and seven souls of those premature fetuses were all eaten by ghost fetuses. In fact, their souls were completely annihilated and dissipated from this world.
Although it is said that family members do not lie, sometimes a white lie can alleviate the pain of a living person while they are still alive.
Dead people cannot be resurrected, but living people must continue to live. If a white lie can reduce the suffering of living people, Jin An and the old Taoist priest are also willing to tell this white lie.
Master Shanneng is a truly enlightened monk.
…
Now that the candidate has been selected.
Then the next step is to go straight to the negative side.
Master Shanneng began to talk in detail about this incident.
Well.
When Jin An listened to the process of the Yin Walk this time, well, he thought he would finally experience a normal Yin Walk this time, but it turned out that the Yin Walk this time was still different from what he imagined.
Because the three souls and seven souls of those premature fetuses have been eaten by the ghost fetuses in Zhang's belly, which means that their souls are gone.
After the soul is gone, naturally there is no resentment.
Because you have been completely annihilated from the five elements of heaven, earth, and the path of reincarnation, and no longer exist.
Traveling to the underworld requires the help of the deceased's obsession or resentment in order to go to the underworld to search for the real culprit, so this makes it impossible to go to the underworld normally according to common sense.
Therefore, Master Shanneng thought of another way to escape the yin.
"I wonder if you two Taoist priests have ever heard of a mother-son heart-to-heart relationship?"
"In The Twenty-Four Filial Piety, there is an allusion called 'biting one's fingers to hurt one's heart.' It tells that one day, a filial son went to the mountains to collect firewood and guests came to the house. His mother was at a loss, so she bit her own finger with her teeth. The filial son suddenly felt
I felt distressed, so I hurriedly carried firewood and returned home quickly to ask my mother why. My mother said, 'A guest suddenly arrived, I will bite my finger to let you know.'"
"For another example, in the spring of a certain year, a couple was busy sowing spring seeds in the fields. Suddenly, the mother felt restless and in a trance, as if she had a premonition that something bad was about to happen. The mother lost her mind.
She was doing farm work in the fields and was running home when she saw her only son who was left at home and almost fell from a height. If she hadn't run home in time to catch the child, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"Another example is a child who was abducted by human traffickers when he was a baby. When the baby grows up, the long-lost mother and child have a special feeling when they reunite in a different place and recognize each other at a glance."
Master Shanneng continued to explain with Ci Mei: "This poor monk went to the underworld this time because he planned to use this mother-child connection to connect hearts."
