Chapter 739: Good things go to the left, bad things go to the right
Just when Jin'an and the others were looking at the boats and boats, the people on those boats also discovered their small wooden boat.
Those people had an extraordinary temperament. They just lowered their eyebrows for a glance and then turned to look in the same direction. They all came for the same purpose.
This scene aroused the interest of the three people in Muzhou. After a little discussion, they decided to follow up and have a look. Anyway, they had no clue about finding the temple for the time being, so it was better to watch the excitement with so many people. It was safer with more people, and they could go deeper into the interior.
Maybe you can find a temple to return to the earthly world by then?
Qingyun Zhenren was also curious about which class so many people were moving into, so he started paddling to follow the fleet.
The underworld is huge and becomes more dangerous as you go deeper. The gray mist floating on the river becomes thicker and thicker. The gray mist is filled with countless whispers, lingering like a nightmare, as if there are thousands of people around you.
Talking in your head, tempting you to look towards the underwater road to hell.
Boom!
The river was surging, the waves were rolling, and the canoes were shaking violently. In this strange underworld, people are thinking about whether there are many corpses gathered under the boat, trying to overturn the boat and make them scapegoats?
"The Huangquan Water Road is getting wider and wider as we go, and the water is flowing rapidly. Could it be that we are heading towards the mouth of the sea?" the old Taoist priest said in a low voice.
Jin An pondered for a moment and asked Master Qingyun who was at the helm: "Fellow Taoist Qingyun, you know the art of walking in the underworld, but have you ever been to the ocean in the underworld? What does it look like there?"
He had never thought about this issue in the past, and looked at Master Qingyun curiously and expectantly.
Master Qingyun looked very solemn and shook his head, saying that there is a black wind that enchants souls there, which is known as the boundless sea of suffering and death and silence. It is the place where souls fall. Like him, many of his colleagues will never see the Dead Sea in their lives.
According to Master Qingyun, the Sea of Hell is far more dangerous than the inland area. It is a forbidden place where there is no return, ten deaths and no life, and a common forbidden land for the living and the dead. Many Buddhist monks believe that the boundless sea of suffering is the sea of suffering recorded in the Buddhist scriptures.
The end is the other side where "all suffering can be overcome". Therefore, many Buddhist monks throughout the ages have regarded getting out of the sea of suffering as the goal of life-long practice. However, no one has come back alive so far, including the three realms that only exist in legends.
The Mighty One above.
Taoists call the four seas in the underworld the Dead Sea and the Sea of Hell.
Buddhism calls it the boundless sea of suffering.
If people have self, they will have immeasurable pain and immeasurable troubles. If people have endless pain, the sea of suffering will be immeasurable and boundless. Therefore, when Buddhists advise people to do good, they always say that the sea of suffering is boundless and there will be a shore when you turn back... and you can be in the boundless sea.
If you go through the infinite sea of suffering, you can practice Mahayana Buddhism without greed, anger, ignorance, and conceit. There is no doubt that the Buddha Dharma will be as boundless as the sea of suffering. Once you reach the other shore, you will transcend life and death and live forever.
There is not much description of Minghai in the Taoist sect, and it is only vaguely mentioned that it is the place of Guixu.
In short, Taoism and Buddhism regard the ocean in the underworld as the most dangerous place and are very afraid of it.
Jin An had never heard of this knowledge before. Just when he was humbly asking Master Qingyun for advice, suddenly, there was a splash of water, which alerted the three of them.
Jin An came to the bow of the ship and looked at the world deep in the gray fog.
The old Taoist priest also followed and looked ahead, but the fog on the Jiuqu Huangquan Road was too thick, and the vision was blocked. Only the vague shapes of several huge building ships could be seen.
"Little brother, did you see what was going on?"
valley choke
"Someone jumped into the water."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the old Taoist priest and Master Qingyun changed. This road to the underworld is not a good place. This underworld is the road to the underworld for the dead, and it is for the dead. No one can tell what is under this turbid water. How many dead people, walking corpses, and living people have gathered together? It will definitely be a disaster if the living people fall.
"No! Someone fell down again!"
Plop.
Plop.
As soon as Jin An finished speaking, the sound of falling water was heard one after another in the foggy world that was supposed to be deathly silent.
"There is something enchanting under the water. Everyone, please sit still and don't look under the water!" Jin An frowned.
He had a higher level of cultivation than the old Taoist priest and could see far away. He vaguely saw a few people on the boat in front of him trying to save the people who fell into the water. He just leaned on the side of the boat and looked at the water. As a result, several people were loaded into the water in despair. They didn't even have time to send out a direct cry for help. Sinking to the bottom, life and death unknown.
Just when the three of them sat down, gave up paddling, and let the waves drift to avoid being spotted by the mysterious and unknown things underwater, Jin An felt the moisture behind him and the sound of breaking waves. He turned around and saw something in the mist behind him. A treasure ship came riding the wind and waves.
There is a pair of golden pairs hung on the mast of the treasure ship. Even if there is no wind, it can be like a divine help, splitting the gray fog, illuminating the universe, and leading the treasure ship through the waves in the underworld.
——Good things go to the left!
——Misfortune goes to the right!
The people on the treasure ship saw the three people in the wooden boat and immediately raised a flag. The helmsman changed direction and narrowly passed by the wooden boat, and then continued forward.
"This is a great opportunity. Let's follow the treasure ship and let them protect our way!" Master Qingyun said happily, and quickly picked up the oar and rowed.
Just as the treasure ship passed by, the three of them discovered that they were not the only ones with the same idea. There were shadowy figures in the mist behind the treasure ship, green candlelight floating in the air, and several lone boats following them. They were all casual cultivators from the folk like Jin An and the others. People lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
Or like a small fish swimming around a whale.
"It seems that they are all of the same kind. Like us, these people happened to encounter this fleet when they were traveling through the underworld, and they followed curiously to watch the fun." Master Qingyun said.
Because we had a big tree at our back, everything went smoothly on the next road to Huangquan, and we finally docked in a steep mountainous area.
Master Qingyun really got it right, this fleet was not going to sea.
After the people from the fleet landed ashore, they headed straight for the mountains. When Jin'an and the others landed, they found that the civilians were planning to form a temporary alliance to travel together in this dangerous and unknown underworld.
Jin An thought for a while and joined in. Maybe these private cultivators could know some information.
