When I arrived at the River Styx, I saw the River Styx continuously churning with a pale green liquid and roaring in front of me. I was a little afraid, afraid that if I was not careful, I would be hit by a wave of the River Styx and turn into smoke and disappear from this world.
What was surprising was that there were two ferryboats coming from the Styx at this time, and the two ferryboats were filled with ghosts.
What surprised me even more was that one of the boats was sailing steadily, while the other was swaying as if it was sailing on the waves, and could be sucked into a whirlpool at any time.
I looked curiously at the ghosts on the two boats and found that the steady boat was crowded with some skinny ghosts, while the other boat was full of fat ghosts. If ghosts were also divided into rich and poor, then those skinny ghosts should be poor ghosts, and those fat ghosts should be rich ghosts.
Logically speaking, the weight of the poor ghost ship is lighter, so it can't withstand the wind and waves. Seeing my confusion, King Yama said to me,"Let me tell you a story.
Previously, there was a ghost who was dissatisfied with being judged guilty in the Hell of the Mirror of Sin. He thought that he could go to the Western Paradise with his own merits. Therefore, the wise and mighty King of Hell, namely me, brought him to a very small room. In the middle of the room, there was a big pot full of porridge. A group of skinny people were sitting around the pot. Each of them was holding a very long spoon. The room was very narrow. In short, the small spoon couldn't be turned around. They could only stretch it out. The poor group of people could only look at the porridge helplessly because the spoon could not reach their mouths. It looked like the porridge was already cold and there was no heat at all. The pot of porridge was still as full as before. The house was also cold and desolate. Looking up, there was a sign on the doorpost: Hell.
After looking at the first room, the ghost didn't have any reaction, so I brought him to the second room. Everything was the same as in hell. The only difference was that the pot of porridge was still steaming. It was already half full. Moreover, these people all had rosy faces and looked very healthy. Looking closely, this group of people were using this long spoon to feed each other porridge. You fed me, I fed you. It was very lively. Looking up, there was a sign on the doorpost: Heaven.
After the ghost saw it, he recalled his past in the human world. Although he was rich and noble in the human world, he never cared about the tenants who rented his land. No matter whether it was drought, flood, natural disaster or man-made disaster, he never thought of reducing the rent at all. Instead, he would confiscate the tenant's house if it was a little less. Although he had won the title of a great philanthropist in the world, when he gave money to those beggars, he had always been a kind of almsgiving mentality. He did not treat them as humans at all. Although he had also donated money to build roads and bridges, if it wasn't for the convenience of his fleet to reach the countryside to collect goods, he would still not have given a cent. Although he was very good at doing business and often did business with others, he had always cooperated with the purpose of how to swallow others or how to earn others. He never thought that even if he did business with others, he would treat others sincerely and fairly.
What happened in hell and heaven told him that although he had done a lot of good things in the human world, he had not learned that people should help each other and treat each other equally. Just like the house called Prison, they could only stay in hell because they did not know how to help each other. In the house called Heaven, because they helped each other, even if the conditions were bad, it was better than Heaven.”
I nodded, but I didn't understand. Just as I was about to step on the Bridge of Helplessness, King Yama stopped me." Wait a minute. I have something to give you."”
"Is it a magic treasure? I almost forgot." I immediately stopped and looked at Yama, but Yama didn't have any intention of giving me anything. Instead, he stared at the two boats on the River Styx without moving.
"Do you see those whirlpools in the River Styx?”
I followed Yama's voice to Hades. Only then did I realize that what made me waver was actually the whirlpools in the Netherworld River, like a bottomless pit that swallowed each other.
"I saw it. Is there a problem?”
"Of course there's a problem. Otherwise, why would I ask you to look? Let me tell you, those whirlpools have a lot to do with the magic treasure I'm going to give you later.”I didn't expect that the King of Hell liked to bicker with people. No, I should say that he liked to bicker with ghosts. Because at the very least, I was still a standard ghost, but not a lecher.
"What does it matter? Could it be that the magic treasure is in the Netherworld River?”
"Yes, smart!" The King of Hell nodded at me as if he was a child worth teaching." Legend has it that when Guanyin was cultivating on Mount Luojia in the South Sea, he happened to be excited. He took the essence of heaven and earth as his bones, the treasures of heaven and earth as his flesh, and gathered the spiritual qi of heaven and earth as his soul to refine a magic weapon. Have you heard of Guanyin's suet jade bottle?”
I was stunned when I heard that. Guanyin's suet jade bottle? How many people in the human world did not know this? Could it be that the so-called magic weapon in the Netherworld River was the suet jade bottle refined by the Taoist priest? If that's the case, then I've made a huge profit. But thinking about it, it was impossible. How could Guanyin's clean bottle be in the Netherworld River?
Hell King ignored me and continued,"" Guanyin originally wanted to refine a clean bottle, but he didn't expect that one of the materials he chose at the beginning was Leng Xiangyu. This kind of jade has the effect of suppressing demons and warding off evil. However, due to its cold nature, when Guanyin was refining it with the Nine Heavens 'fire, Leng Xiangyu's cold nature instinctively rejected the Nine Heavens' fire. Guanyin didn't control the fire for a moment, so Leng Xiangyu exploded. Therefore, the refined Sheep-Fat Jade Bottle became black and looked strange. Guanyin was so angry that he wanted to throw away the magic weapon at once. Fortunately, Ksitigarbha happened to visit Guanyin and asked Guanyin to give him the magic weapon that failed to be refined. After Ksitigarbha took back the magic weapon, he put it in the Netherworld River. We Yama couldn't guess its function. However, from then on, our work became much easier because after the Netherworld River put the Black Clear Vase in place, The vortexes that were originally rolling around without any order became surging and often swept away the ferry, causing those ghosts to be scattered and never reincarnated. Some of the ghosts who didn't want to lose their memories and didn't want to cross the Bridge of Helplessness saw this scene. In order to save their lives, they had to drink the soup and cross the Bridge of Helplessness. This saved us a lot of work and also saved the human world a lot of trouble.
Later, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gave Guanyin a bottle of pure Yin water from the River Styx in order to thank Guanyin for his Black Clear Bottle. He helped Guanyin refine the real Suet Jade Clear Bottle that was still in use.
This time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has instructed me to bring out the Black Clear Vase from the River Styx for you to help you kill demons and devils in the human world. Of course, this can only be used after you have achieved a certain level of success in your evil intentions. However, it can also be used for self-defense in normal times. It can also be considered as answering your request for protection.”
As Yama said that, his robe suddenly fluttered without any wind. A beam of green light shot out from his hands, and the Netherworld River suddenly roared. The ferry carrying a fat ghost was about to capsize in the storm. It was shaken by the water of the Netherworld River and was thrown up on the surface of the river. After falling on the surface of the water for a few times, it kept spinning. Finally, the bow of the ferry tilted unwillingly. With the scream of the ghost when its soul was scattered, it slowly sank.
In the huge whirlpool where the ferry sank, a black gas suddenly rose from the green Nether River. Under my astonished gaze, a bottle like object slowly rose from the vortex. It was black all over and was constantly emitting black gas.
King Yama's expression was solemn as he formed a ball of green light between his palms and surrounded the black bottle. As soon as the green orb came into contact with the Black Clear Vase, the light immediately dimmed, as if its energy had been sucked out. Hell King, who was controlling the green ball of light, was sweating profusely.
As the green ball of light gradually became thinner, a nauseating aura rushed into his nose. I felt dizzy from the smoke and fell forward before I could vomit. I was just a step away from the roaring and angry River Styx. Just as I was about to fall into the River Styx and become one of the millions of River Styx, my body suddenly emitted a ball of purple light that enveloped me and spread in all directions.
As soon as the purple light met the green water of the River Styx, a white mist immediately rose up with a series of "chi chi" sounds. I was about to fall into the River Styx and was immediately bounced back by the purple light.
What was even stranger was that the King of Hell's already thin green ball of light was stimulated by the purple light from my body and suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, enveloping the Black Clear Bottle that was constantly emitting black aura again. It also slowly rose to the surface of the water along with the rising green ball of light.
Gradually, the purple light on my body condensed into a beam of light and shot towards the rising green light ball and Black Clear Vase. The strange thing was that the green light ball and Black Clear Vase actually followed the purple light beam and gradually approached me.
As soon as the black bottle came into contact with the purple light, the black fog that had already dimmed immediately spread out again. The black bottle in the middle of the black fog jumped non-stop, as if it was cheering excitedly. Under the intense attack of the black fog, the green ball of light gradually collapsed the defense line and became darker and fainter. Finally, it dissipated into thin air.
Hell King, who was already sweating profusely, heaved a sigh of relief after the green light ball disappeared. He looked at me with admiration and joy, who was already stunned and at a loss.
As the green light ball disappeared, the black light got closer and closer to my body. In the end, the light around me suddenly dimmed. The purple light beam and the black fog suddenly disappeared, and the Black Clear Vase also disappeared.
"Congratulations on obtaining the Black Clear Vase." King Yama seemed to be happier than me because I was still confused.
"Because the Black Clear Vase has absorbed too much Yin Qi and Yin spirits in the Nether River, I'm already a bit unlucky. Just now, I used the Netherworld Heart Technique to draw the water of the Nether River to wash it, and used the third level of the Netherworld Heart Technique to seal the killing intent of the Black Clear Vase. Otherwise, once the Black Clear Vase is in your hands, your Netherworld Heart Technique will not be completed, and it will easily control your primordial spirit. However, I underestimated the viciousness of the Black Clear Vase. Even with my Netherworld Heart Technique's third level fifth level, I still couldn't subdue it. The purple light that suddenly appeared on your body blocked a calamity for me. Otherwise, this king might have been controlled by the Black Clear Vase's backlash. That was really close. But what I don't understand is, you're a new ghost and you haven't even cultivated the Netherworld Heart Technique yet. How can you emit a purple light that can only appear when you reach the sixth level of the third level of the Netherworld Heart Technique? This was simply impossible. It was simply too inconceivable and too strange.”
