Book Two, Chapter Eighteen, The Three-Day Covenant
Zhang Chen slowly pushed open the gate of Sanxue Temple and followed the source of the sound to the former Main Hall. At this time, Master Puhu was sitting on the cushion of the big Buddha statue, quietly waiting for Zhang Chen's arrival.
"Zhang Chen, sit down," Puhu said with a smile and pointed at a futon directly opposite him.
Zhang Chen nodded respectfully, leaned over and sat down, crossed his legs inside.
"I asked you to come here today to tell you four things, which are also things you really want to know." Puhu said.
"You also know one thing about this first thing. You and I are actually the same type of people, and there are many similar existences to us. First of all, I have to tell you about the general composition of our world."
"In the early days of the birth of the earth, there were many chaotic spiritual energy in the world. As time passed, part of this spiritual energy slowly merged with various creatures on the earth, causing individuals to gradually become conscious, which is the generation of the soul."
"When an individual living organism dies, the soul in the body turns into spiritual energy and merges into the spiritual energy of the earth. It is until the phenomenon of human beings is broken. In the parallel space with the earth, a place called Prison was slowly derived, which began to be responsible for specializing in managing the re-reversal of human souls, and rewarding and punishing for great achievements or great sins."
"Returning to the world, it is called reincarnation. Before this reincarnation, the memory of the previous life will be cut off by the executive officer in the prison. This is exactly the same as the underworld that humans imagine. It is also because after some people rebelled against the world, the fragments of memory have not been destroyed, and images of the prison will flash out from time to time in their heads, so the underworld will gradually come up with the saying "
"Human nature is an unknown thing. Over the long period of development, human nature can gradually begin to affect or even integrate the soul in the body. After the dead dies with negative emotions such as resentment, unwillingness, sadness, etc., the soul in the body will change, making it impossible to be sucked into the parallel world where the prison is located, and at the same time it cannot be integrated into the heaven and earth, but exists in this human world in a separate form."
"At the beginning, these mutated souls that were separated from the body were unconscious. They would simply imitate their actions before death and repeat them constantly. This is also called the lonely ghost."
"But over time, the negative emotions in the heart will gradually amplify, and begin to control the entire soul and open up consciousness. This will give birth to evil spirits, resentful spirits, etc. that you see. The existence of these soul bodies poses a huge threat to the world. It even gradually evolved on the earth the third parallel world after the world and the world of prison, and we call it Zero."
"But I know very little about Zero's understanding. I only know that the existence inside is extremely powerful. Any minion is a hundred times stronger than the nail man you defeated last time. I am afraid I can't hold on for a few minutes when I enter it."
After hearing this, Zhang Chen's worldview was changing quickly. Although it was a bit difficult to understand, Zhang Chen was basically sure.
"The next thing is to tell you about our origin. The mutated souls stuck in the human world constantly cause harm to humans, and some can even assimilate normal souls. If you persist for a long time, the balance of the entire human world will be broken."
"However, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen in prison, so many tests began to be set up, giving some of the dead who passed their tests to return to the world to calm these heresy. However, this is our identity - the prison envoy."
"Master Puhu, do you mean we all died once? But I have never been to that place called Prison, nor have I passed any test." Zhang Chen said.
"Indeed, you are a special person. I think after each of us comes out, we are carrying severe tests. The ability we obtain from prison comes from a black stone, which is the one in your heart, which is called the main soul stone. This main soul stone is sealed with a powerful soul, and we need to smooth and assimilate him."
Speaking of this, Puhu's eyes revealed a sad feeling.
"I didn't believe in my resurrection back then, but just thought it was a dream. On the night I returned to the temple, I couldn't suppress the cruelty of the main soul in my body. I occupied my consciousness and killed many brothers."
"Everyone like me has the same fate. It was difficult to suppress this main soul at first, causing the people around me to be killed by themselves."
"But you are different. You forcibly implanted the main soul stone without death. The master of this main soul stone has sealed the main soul in your body. Otherwise, you would not have resisted the consciousness of the main soul so easily."
Zhang Chen suddenly remembered the man in black on Jinshui Bridge and said
"Master, do you know who that person is?"
"He is Kong Jun, and he is a friend of life and death with me, but donor Kong never finds it to erase the demon in his heart. That day, after returning to the world, he returned home and ate his wife overnight. He had already turned this grief into determination, but after a few years, he actually swallowed his daughter and the ghost together in a battle with a very powerful ghost. I have never seen him again since then."
"Until one night, Donor Kong came to me, but he was already a spiritual body. He told me about implanting his abilities with you, and asked this tragedy not to happen to you. Although Kong Jun used all his strength to seal this main soul stone, it was only superficial skill and would explode sooner or later, so I was always by your side. Once a change occurred, I would stop it."
After hearing this, Zhang Chen was also very grateful. He received help from others for no reason, and no one would be grateful.
"This second thing, do you still remember when you opened it and got the red door when you were in the basement?"
"Well, the ghost named Yang Zi was pulled in by the little black hand stretched out from the door."
"This gate is called the Prison Gate, which is a passage leading to the prison. However, this gate is rarely opened because no one who can lead out of the prison gate is a person with great sin. Once he is pulled into the prison gate, he will never be reborn. On the other side of the prison gate is the Blood Prison Gate. The souls that fall into it will never come out, and they will suffer thousands of tortures and all kinds of sufferings."
"The guy who can lead him out of the prison gate will definitely carry something on his body. Take out the crystal in your pocket."
Zhang Chen was shocked. Master Puhu actually knew about this thing, but Master Puhu didn't mention it that day. I guess he wouldn't have the idea of making this thing now.
So Zhang Chen took out the red crystal similar to calcite from his right pocket.
"A intermediate evil ghost can actually breed 'ghost crystal'. Zhang Chen, your luck is really good. I wonder how many prisoners killed each other for this thing, but I don't need it anymore."
Zhang Chen heard the rarity of this thing. As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." Zhang Chen decided that he would never let the second person know about this thing in the future.
"You will naturally know the specific use of this thing as soon as the time comes. It should be a recent event if you want to use it. Take out the bag I gave you." Puhu ordered.
Zhang Chen nodded, took the bag from his waist and placed it in front of him.
"This bag is called Qiankun Bag, as the name suggests, there is Qiankun inside. If you open the bag, you can divide it into 5 small spaces. The blood beetle egg has occupied one, and you can put this ghost crystal into it. There are only two bags in total, and I have worked hard to make it. I originally wanted to give it to Donor Kong, but now I have given it to you and have made it a wish."
As Puhu said, Zhang Chen opened the bag and put the ghost crystal in it. Sure enough, after the ghost crystal fell into the bag, it was obviously separated from the blood beetle eggs beside it, with a vague layer of diaphragm.
"Zhang Chen, after the prison gate is opened, can a red light be shot at you?" Puhu asked.
"Yeah." Zhang Chen naturally had a profound influence.
"Take off your top"
Zhang Chen didn't hesitate and took off the black T-shirt he was wearing. The "paw" above his right chest was very obvious.
"Anyone who kills the strange spirits wandering around the world will be recorded in the prison. After you kill the unforgivable Yang Zimiao, the reward of the prison is the word "Zhu" on your chest."
"This is a pass in prison, and it can also enhance your physical strength and suppress your main soul. As you make more and more contributions in the world, this word will gradually change. As far as I know, if we are divided according to this level, we are divided into prison guards - Prison Essence - Prison Commander - Prison Commander - Prison Commander. The more you are, the stronger your ability is."
After saying that, Master Puhu also took off the monk's robe on his body, and the word "玉" suddenly printed on his right chest.
"The most powerful one I have ever seen is the character "Si". The two above are only heard of. Although our prison envoys are in the same camp, there are also selfish villains among them. You should be careful in the future."
"Master Puhu, don't know who Ding Jian?" Zhang Chen said suddenly.
"So you have seen it. Although Ding Jian seems to be fierce and vicious, arrogant, he has a very good character. He is a kind of person who will repay all grudges and will repay all kindness. You don't have to worry." Puhu said.
"He asked me to tell you that the love I had paid off back then." Zhang Chen nodded and said.
Puhu smiled and didn't say anything.
"The third thing is that the strange spirits in this world are roughly divided into four types: evil ghosts, resentful ghosts, evil ghosts, and corpse ghosts. Evil ghosts are like Yang Zi. They are sinful people in their lives. After death, they are unwilling to let go and try to continue to kill people. So they stay in the world and keep killing. This kind of ghost is also the greatest threat to the world."
"The resentful ghost is entirely because when he dies, the resentment aura is too strong, and instantly changes his soul, stays in the place before his death, and kills all the mortals who come here without consciousness."
"Although the evil ghost is also born from resentment, it is just a change in the soul caused by long-term resentment. After death, he will soon have the memories of his life. He just hopes that he will leave on his own until the resentment is eliminated."
"The corpse ghost is actually called raising ghosts. The evil people use some method to leave the soul of a person who has just died in the body. Over time, it cannot be dissipated. Gradually, the soul changes begin to be connected with the dead body. However, this corpse ghost has no consciousness and is completely a machine for killing people."
Hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but remember that "Wenjuan" from Grandma Yu's house half a year ago actually used his mother as food to repair her body.
"Of course, there are many alternative ghosts different from these four types in this world. If you encounter them, you must be careful. These alternative ghosts have large and small abilities, which are definitely not comparable to ordinary ghosts."
"Okay, the last thing you must know is that in this world, besides we can get rid of those strange spirits, there are many Taoisms, and Buddhists can do the same. Moreover, these people often hide in the world and their abilities are not worse than ours. The most important thing is that they call us - dead people. After all, we have all died once, and they still have a dead spirit. If the two sides meet, a big battle is indispensable."
"However, you are different. You have never died and you have no dying energy on your body. But if you encounter them in the future, don't be careful. Don't show your strength easily, otherwise you will be killed."
After saying that, Puhu got up, walked out of the palace, and then slowly said, "Zhang Chen, you must live well and grow well, and don't let down Donor Kong's wishes."
Zhang Chen didn't say anything, but he had an answer in his heart.
As soon as Puhu left the temple, the whole scene slowly disappeared, and Zhang Chen appeared at the gate of Sanxue Temple again. The two monks guarding the door smiled at Zhang Chen again, as if time had regressed.
This time, Zhang Chen did not respond, but leaned down, kowtowed to Sanxue Temple, and then went down the mountain.
