Chapter 10 The Underworld
I climbed behind for a while and felt that the bottom was getting bigger and bigger, and I could finally stand up and walk. This was really strange. The man who built the tomb was a mouse. The entrance of the cave was so small, but it was so big here. It was really a unique world.
The second uncle stood up and swept the dust on his body, looked around and said, "Let's go, don't stand stupidly."
I looked at my second uncle and followed it into it. Not long after I got inside, I saw someone inside. As soon as I was about to say something, my second uncle said to me: "It's not a human, it's a ghost. If you really can't tell the difference, just look at his feet. Those who don't have feet will definitely be ghosts."
When the second uncle spoke, I looked at the man's feet. It was indeed not a foot, so it must be a ghost. I looked up and looked again. There was no difference between a ghost and a human.
"The ghost is not breathing, it is still cold. The ghost is full of cold air. Don't treat it as popular. You can feel it as soon as you touch it." After Uncle II said that, I nodded and said to Uncle II: "What are you doing?"
The ghost opposite sighed: "Go away, don't bother me."
"What do you want to do?" Uncle Er said and took out the pig-killing knife. The ghost saw Uncle Er's pig-killing knife and retreated: "Don't meddle in other people's business, I'm just going to find someone who harmed me."
"Hmph, I don't know who hurts anyone. Besides, you are dead, so you can't interfere in the affairs of the world. Someone will decide your grievances. Now you should go to the underworld with me. When I get there, I guarantee you will be reincarnated."
Uncle Er walked over and took a rope out of his other hand. When the ghost saw that Uncle Er wanted to catch him, he wanted to run away. Uncle Er threw out the rope and trapped the ghost. As soon as the ghost struggled, the rope trembled. Then I saw that there was a red rope inside the rope. If the ghost moved, it would be uncomfortable, so the ghost squatted on the ground and screamed.
The fourth uncle stepped forward and put the ghost uniform for a few minutes. He put it in a box inside the tomb that looked pretty good.
"Xiaohong, remember, we are different from the demon-repelling master. When we go out in the tomb and take the ghost away, we must put it in something. Moreover, such things must be inside the tomb, otherwise you will easily let the ghost run away if you go out."
I will write down whatever my second uncle said so as not to be able to do nothing by myself in the future.
When you get in from the tomb, you can get out as you go. After you go out, the second uncle said, "Let's go, even if you have been here today, let's go to the underworld now."
"Underground?" I looked at my second uncle. The second uncle turned around and walked towards a place. Not long after we walked out, we stopped at the three-way intersection. The second uncle said to me, "Don't underestimate this place. There are the most ghosts passing by here. The people we can see are different from those that cannot be seen. If we can't see, we don't have to pay attention to anything. But when we see it, we will go and see it, and ghosts will pay attention to you. It's okay to have one or two. If there is too much, it will be a disaster. So you have to learn one thing, that is, don't look at those ghosts, treat it as if they can't see anything, and ghosts can't find you."
As the second uncle was talking, I saw two people walking, one in black clothes, one in white clothes, one holding a mourning stick in his hand, and the other carrying a chain on his shoulders, looking up at the hat, one saying "Seeking the soul" and the other saying "Seeking life". I looked down, and these two were legs and feet.
So I asked my second uncle strangely: "Who are these two?"
"Heibai Wuchang." Uncle Second said, as if he had heard Uncle Second, he turned around and looked at Uncle Second, and I walked behind Uncle Second, Uncle Second, and Uncle Second said, "It's nothing. They are all fools and will not do anything to you. I know me."
The second uncle walked forward and clasped his fists at Hei and Bai Wuchang: "You are so nice, sir, the two of you."
Hei Wuchang didn't say anything, Bai Wuchang looked at me and asked, "Wolf howl, your daughter has grown up?"
"Ah, I've grown up, I'll ask you two for your blessings." Uncle II said, Bai Wuchang smiled and looked pretty good. He said, "Your daughter was not good-looking when she was a child. She looked so beautiful when she grew up. What are you doing here? Do you send ghosts to the underworld?"
"Today, my daughter is the first day to be a gravekeeper. I would like to ask you to take care of her in the future. When I go back, I will prepare some water and wine for you to express my feelings."
The second uncle is also a sleek person, and Bai Wuchang is also easy to talk to, so he smiled and said, "It just so happens that our brothers are free today, so you can go with us."
"Okay, then I'll be upset." After Uncle Er said that, he pulled me, and I followed Uncle Er and went to the underworld.
The road leading to the underworld is the Yin-Yang Road. I followed my second uncle to the Yin-Yang Road in a daze. After I went up, I saw a group of feetless ghosts walking on it, looking around while walking. It seemed that it was the first time I had arrived here.
So I asked my second uncle about some things that came to the underworld and the rules in the underworld.
Listening to my second uncle and I talked to him, Bai Wuchang stepped back from the front and said as he walked: "Wolf howl, I didn't expect that your daughter is still very motivated and studying."
At this time, I also discovered something. Anything I said was Bai Wuchang, but I won’t say it as for Hei Wuchang.
I felt that Hei Wuchang might be born unable to speak.
The second uncle smiled and said, "Where is Xiaohong asking me if she doesn't understand. I hope Brother Bai will take care of her more in the future."
"Don't worry, after so many years of love, I will naturally take care of you. Okay, the Yin-Yang Road has passed, and we brothers still have something to do. Let's divide it today. If you have any questions, you can speak to us. If we can help, we will definitely help you."
"Where are you here, I'll do you have two Wuchang Army?" Before the second uncle could finish his sentence, Bai Wuchang waved his hand and looked at them again. He had already gone forward and never looked back. I looked back and saw that the vastness of ghosts on the Yin-Yang Road were all over the place.
"So much?" I couldn't help but say, and my second uncle told me: "This is still a small amount. You have been unconscious these two days, and July 15th has just passed. When there are many ghosts, it is already a small amount after July 15th."
"Why is it after July 15th?" I asked my second uncle, and he told me some things about the Ghost Festival in the underworld. I realized that ghosts also need to celebrate the festival.
Walking inside, my second uncle and I went to several more places, but we didn't remember them much. I asked my second uncle why he was so strange and forgot.
The second uncle smiled and said, "It's right to forget. We have come from the Yin. Although we encountered black and white impermanence at the intersection of the three forks of the road, we are actually asleep and dreaming about it. When we see what we see here, we will remember it when we go out, and forget it when we go out."
