Chapter 11 Soul Palace
Chengye and the other two found a place to rest in front of Kongfa Temple and sat down. Chengyi said to Chengye: "A long time ago, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was a priestly girl. Her mother was doing evil in the world and went to hell after she died. She knew that her mother would have such an end, so she sold her property and chanted Buddha's name sincerely every day to accumulate virtue for her mother. After that, she cared about her mother's situation in hell, so she wanted to visit him, but no one could ask. In desperation, an unknown voice reminded her.
She told her to recite the name of Tathagata sincerely and constantly. After Ksitigarbha did as he did, he really went to hell during meditation. When Ksitigarbha came to hell, Ksitigarbha asked the King of Hell about her mother's situation. The King of Hell told her that because of her good deeds, her mother had already reincarnated with the heavenly path with others. Since then, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has used the great vow of "hell as empty, and he vowed not to become a Buddha, and all sentient beings can save all the sentient beings, and only then can he achieve Bodhi" and saved people in the world, but most of the places he went to were hell or the most painful place on earth."
After Chengyi finished speaking, Chengye sighed thoughtfully and said, "Hell is empty, how difficult."
Chengyi said: "Yes, so Ksitigarbha could have been a Buddha, but he is still saving people." Linghu Chengye said: "It's too difficult to save people, and I can't pay for everyone's bad retribution, hey! I thought of a way."
Chengyi asked with interest: "What's the solution?"
Chengye said thoughtfully: "If I were to pay for all those who commit evil retribution, I would definitely not be able to do it. However, if I let those who commit evil retribution make up for their own mistakes, I think it would not be difficult."
Chengyi said: "With that being said, what should we do?"
Linghu Chengye said excitedly: "Maybe this is what we should do next. By the way, Master Bao said how should I set up the 'Soul Mansion'?"
Chengyi said: "The so-called 'soul house' is used to visit the detention and trial and stay in the place where ghosts in the world are located. Every province has it. Isn't it said that it is on the edge of the provincial capital?"
Linghu Chengye said: "Take me there to see that night?"
Chengyi said: "Well, I should go. I guess Lord Bao has replaced the soldiers and yamen runners there with ours. You, Lord Linghu, should also go and recognize the door."
"Okay, then we'll go home tonight!"
Late at night, Linghu Chengye tried for the first time what it means to "steal the clouds and fog". Because this time it was flying long distances, as a god, you have to abide by the rules of gods, so long distance flights are stipulated: when you travel a long distance, you must have a cloud blocked under your body, and you must not be discovered by the mortals below. In addition, you must focus on your mind. Once you fall at a height of up to 1,000 meters, even a god will fall to death.
The city where Linghu Chengye is located is more than a thousand miles away from the small city. It floats by clouds and arrives at its destination in less than half an hour.
This soul mansion in h Province is located on the edge of the Ringcheng Expressway in the provincial capital. Linghu Chengye and the other two appeared on the ground and Chengye looked up. The soul mansion was magnificent and almost the same as the ancient government office. There were two large white characters written on the middle of the gate of the mansion.
Linghu Chengye suddenly felt cold when he saw these two words. The plaque made him feel so sarcastic and thought to himself: I don’t know how many undead people are imprisoned in this mansion.
A man who was only half as tall as Linghu Chengye ran out of the mansion and greeted him with a smile.
"I've heard that the adults are coming, but the younger ones have been waiting for a long time."
"Who are you?"
"I am the master here, my name is 'two-tailed'"
"Two-tailed, why do I sound so much like an animal name?"
"Haha, my master is a keen eye. The little one is the fox on Baichang Mountain. Fortunately, I practiced the method and allowed the little one to survive for three hundred years. Later, I was appreciated by Master Bao and gave him a human body. I went to this Soul Mansion to assist Lord Linghu in handling the case, which can also be regarded as allowing the little one to experience it in the human world."
"I never die for three hundred years, so powerful, then I have to call you Fox Fairy?"
"I dare not. I have been practicing hard on the mountain. I didn't feel that time has passed. I only realized that three hundred years have passed when I was temporarily resting."
Linghu Chengye exclaimed: "Listen, I haven't felt anything for three hundred years. Only those with great perseverance can achieve great things."
"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm not the only one who has the merits of building Huangquan Road. I heard that there are cars coming and going at the gates of hell now, and there is no such scene of ghosts crying and howling in the past."
"Okay, don't flatter me. Let's go in and take a look. Why is this Soul Mansion not far from the expressway and isn't afraid that others will see it?"
Two tails bowed and said, "Sir, the Soul Mansion is the Illusion Realm Mansion. In addition to the souls that have left their bodies in the human world, there are also those who have opened their eyes, which are not visible to ordinary people."
"Oh, that's it, haha, I thought everyone in such a big yamen could see it. By the way, why are you the only one coming out alone? Is there no one else?" Linghu Chengye glanced around and asked.
"Haha, sir, don't blame me. This is the villain's idea. All the soldiers and yamen runners are waiting in the courtyard. Please follow me." The three of them led them to the mansion with two tails and crossed the door of the mansion. They lined up on both sides, arranged in an orderly manner. The mansion soldiers wearing yamen runners' uniforms and holding black and white tassel spear guns in their hands. They were basically the same as the usual yamen runners' uniforms. The only difference is that the word "soul" on their chests and the appearance of the mansion soldiers, all of which are fierce and evil.
As soon as Linghu Chengye and the other three entered the door, the officers and soldiers knelt down and said, "See Lord Linghu."
Shuangou said: "These are your soldiers in the palace. Lord Bao specially selected them from the underworld for the adults to send them."
Linghu Chengye looked around and couldn't help but feel a little scared. He took a deep breath, raised his chest and asked, "Where is Tieqiu's subordinate?"
"That day, Lord Bao sent people to eliminate the verdicts of the three provinces, and personally selected these elite soldiers and generals in the underworld."
"Oh, okay, I have a chance to thank Lord Bao, you all get up."
The soldiers all said, "Thank you, Lord!"
Linghu Chengye looked at the lobby and said, "Let's go inside and take a look. I guess the situation inside should be similar to that on TV. My office space should be here." Linghu Chengye said as he walked, and came to the Soul Mansion Hall. There was a Taishi chair behind a long table, with "A mirror hanging high on the wall, and there were rows of yamen runners standing at the door to both sides of the long table, holding large long boards.
Linghu Chengye walked around the long table and sat on the Taishi chair, slapped the agglomeration on the table and smiled: "Enter the hall!"
"Majesty! Martial!" The yamen runners on both sides said in a deep voice.
The two-tailed one walked to Linghu Chengye and said, "Mr. Linghu, this is the life and death book of the Soul Mansion in our province. This is the judge's pen. If you want to change the judgment, you can hold the pen and modify it directly on the Life and Death Book. Now, a total of 1,466 souls waiting to be tried in the Soul Mansion prison are detained in our province. I wonder which one is to be tried first?"
Linghu Chengye said in a daze: "I just took a random shot, not trying to try the case."
Twin Tails smiled and said, "Sir, I'll have this happen sooner or later. Since the gavel has been photographed and the golden mouth has been opened, why not just click one today and let's practice your skills. What do you think?"
Linghu Chengye looked at Chengyi and Chengzhi on both sides and tried to ask for their opinions. Chengzhi was looking up at something, looking like he was not concerned about his own affairs. However, Chengyi nodded to Linghu Chengye to show encouragement.
Linghu Chengye got the signal and thought it was okay, so he slapped the excavator and said, "Okay, then I'll examine one."
"Wealth! Martial!" The yamen runners below roared and knocked on the ground with a long board. Linghu Chengye was shocked by these yamen runners. Just as they were about to have an attack, they passed the life and death book and opened the first page. The first line above reads: "Love in love and souls scatter in the dreams in the quiet place, and buying life money can't eliminate the infatuation. Bow and thunder, twenty-two years of life end."
Linghu Chengye narrowed his eyes and said, "Infatuated? What's going on with him?"
The two-tailed tail replied respectfully: "This ghost, named Gong Lei, fell in love with a princess of Mengyou KTV, but the girl only treats him as a guest, usually tells him sweetly and cheats him some money, but Gong Lei takes it seriously. One day, the girl celebrates with another boy in the KTV, and the boy also drank a lot of wine, so he scolded Gong Lei. In anger, he fought with the boy. The other party had a lot of people, and Gong Lei was beaten to death. The family was very powerful and finally accompanied the money to make trouble, but Gong Lei was unwilling to leave the princess, avoided the arrest of the soul-catching messenger, and pestered the girl all day long. It was not until we caught him a few days ago."
Linghu Chengye said: "It's really a kind of infatuated person. Bring him up to me."
The two-tailed whispered: "Yes, take the criminal bow and thunder!"
After a while, two yamen runners led a young man to the hall, and the yamen runners pressed him to the ground and knelt down. The man lowered his head and said nothing.
Linghu Chengye raised his head and looked at the person kneeling on the ground. He looked at Twin Tails, looked at Chengyi, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know where to ask. He was embarrassed for a moment. Twin Tails walked to Linghu Chengye's side and lying on tiptoe in Linghu Chengye's ear and said, "Ask him who is! Can you tell me, who is kneeling in the hall?"
Linghu Chengye cleared his throat and asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall?"
"Bow Thunder."
"Do you know what crime you have committed?"
"I don't know what crime I committed. I was beaten to death in a public place, but you asked me what crime I committed?"
Twin tails pointed at Gong Lei from under the long table and said, "Bold! You dare to despise the court, and someone comes to slap me."
"Yes!" The guard clasped his fists, took a wooden board and ran over to Gong Lei.
Gong Lei knelt on the ground and was indifferent, but Linghu Chengye was startled by his two tails. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't slap your mouth, go down."
Twin Tails said anxiously: "Sir, you are on the first day..." Linghu Chengye raised his head and signaled that Twin Tails should not be impatient. Twin Tails had to swallow the words into his stomach.
Linghu Chengye originally wanted to be fresh, but just after hearing the story of Gong Lei, he saw Gong Lei like this again. He had already passed away with an enthusiastic attitude.
He sighed and said, "Everyone has cause and effect. If you are provoking trouble first, the other party will beat you to death. No matter whether the other party fails or intends, it is your bow and thunder who turns into a ghost in front of the hall!"
"So I asked, what is my sin?"
"The things in the world will be broken by the world. Since you are dead, there is..." Linghu Chengye said and looked at the two tails.
The two-tailed man took the life and death book and handed it to Linghu Chengye. After reading it, Linghu Chengye said, "It has been half a year since he died. You avoid the tracking of the soul-catching messenger and do not go to the underworld to register. This is a sin! Once the ghosts in the world are in trouble, it will aggravate the resentment in the world, which will lead to the flood of disasters in the world. So can you know your sin?"
"I don't know the guilt, I just want to be with my beloved, is there anything wrong with that?"
After hearing Gong Lei's obsessive words, Linghu Chengye became angry and picked up the gavel and slapped it and shouted: "Bold!"
"Wealth! Martial!" The yamen runners on both sides roared.
Linghu Chengye took a deep breath and said, "A person will always die, and he will always give up his love and leave the world. It is better to let go than to entangle. If you really love her, you must expect her happy life. But if you entangle her all day long, humans and ghosts have different paths, and over time, you will make her yin energy plague and eventually lose her life."
After hearing Linghu Chengye's words, Gong Lei remained silent, and then began to cry bitterly. Linghu Chengye saw that it was effective and continued: "You left her forever. Even if he doesn't love you and leaves with others, it is her choice, and it is the choice of your beloved. If you love her, let go of your hand and respect his choice, do you understand?"
Gong Lei burst into tears. He couldn't bear to send love in this life, but it was impossible not to let go. He calmed down and said tremblingly: "I understand, but I'm just sad. I really can't bear to let it go, sir!"
"Okay, you just need to understand the situation. Now I will send someone to the underworld. You have been wandering around the world for half a year and have a serious crime. Lord Bao will definitely make you suffer. But you deserve it. No wonder others, you have to devote yourself to reform and strive for an early reincarnation. Do you know?"
Gong Lei sat on the ground with his eyes blank and replied softly: "Yes."
Linghu Chengye waved his hand, and the two yamen runners took Gong Lei down. After Gong Lei left, he walked forward and smiled and said, "Sir, you are so eloquent. You can make this infatuated man understand in just a few words."
Linghu Chengye said in his heart: "What good eloquence? I remembered my previous life. They were all sympathetic." He thought to himself, but said in his mouth: "Hey, even though you are a fox, you must also understand the love in the world. Okay, don't waste your time, let's have another one, otherwise when will more than a thousand people be judged?"
The two tails were brought to the book of life and death, and Linghu Chengye came over, and the second line reads: "Before the life of life, death will die first, and the evil ghosts ask for their lives to plow on the iron plow. Yun and rice forty-three, life will not end."
Linghu Chengye was a little at a loss and asked, "Why do you still have to be arrested if you have not finished your life? Are you messing around?"
Shuangou said: "Sir, although Yun Hemi's life has not ended, he was taken to death by the evil ghost and suffered great trauma in his body, so he can't go back."
"This is difficult." Linghu Chengye frowned and pondered for a moment, then had an idea and seemed to have thought of something. He slapped the table and shouted: "Daiyun and mi."
"mighty!"……
