People always long for justice, hoping that good will be rewarded with good and evil with evil, so they have fabricated a yin cao mansion with strict law enforcement and judicial justice. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, becoming the label of this Yin Cao Mansion, and it is precisely because people believe in the existence of the Yin Cao Mansion that when choosing their own behavior, they have many taboos, urging themselves to do less evil and do more good.
In Chinese mythology, the underworld is known as the Yin Cao Prefecture, located in the capital city, which is a world of separation of church and state and power constraints. The highest religious governor of the underworld is the Bodhisattva of Jizo, the supreme administrator is the King of Yama, and the King of Yama and the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo are not subordinate to each other and share the political and religious affairs. There were three divisions under King Yan, namely the Department of Secret Law, which was in charge of justice, the Department of Inspection, which was in charge of prosecution, and the Department of Punishing Evil and Promoting Good, which was in charge of investigation.
After everyone dies, their souls are subject to trial in the underworld, and at this time, Zhong Kui, the Heavenly Master who is in charge of punishing evil and promoting good thoughts, will send two full-time arrest case-handling personnel under his command to arrest people's souls, and these two case-handling personnel, one is black and impermanent, the main rebuke, the other is white impermanence, and the main soul is hooked. Black and white impermanence takes the human soul away from the body, through a long stretch of Huangquan Road, to Wangxiangtai, at this time, black and white impermanence will make the soul look back at its hometown to reflect the civilization and humanity of its law enforcement. After passing through the Wangxiangtai, there is the Bronze Lion Iron Dog Array, which is a pre-trial of the soul by the Punishment of Evil and Good Division as an investigation organ, because in this Bronze Lion Iron Dog Array, every time the soul does a bad thing in the Yang, it will be bitten by the Bronze Lion, and every time it does a good thing, it will be licked by the Iron Dog, and the black and white impermanence will write out the investigation report according to the wounds and tastes on the soul, and then continue to move forward with the soul and enter the ghost gate of the Entry-Exit Management Center of the Underworld. The main affairs of the Ghost Gate Pass are the Ghost King, subordinate to the Punishment of Evil and Good Division, when the black and white impermanence brings the soul to the Ghost Gate Pass, it is indispensable to greet each other with his colleague the Ghost King, smoke cigarettes, drink tea, and then the Ghost King will routinely cover the soul with a visa to enter the underworld, hand over the black and white impermanence to bring into the Yin Cao Mansion, from then on, the soul has obtained the ghost status, become a ghost, and obtain the citizen qualification of the capital city.
After entering the Yin Cao Mansion, Black and White Impermanence would forward the soul and its investigation report to the Case Management Center of the Cha Cha Division, which had two principals, namely the Bull Head and the Horse Noodles. After sorting it out, the two principals were handed over to the Cha Cha Division for examination and prosecution, and after a period of examination by the Cha Cha Division, they decided not to prosecute the person who had died by accident, and after the decision was made, the Minotaur Ma Mian sent the ghost out of the Cha Cha Division and worked as a wandering ghost in the capital city until Yang Shou was near, and then he could be tried. And those who, after examination, believe that they have died of their lives, when the soul is prosecuted, the soul is brought into the Dark Law Division, and the Dark Law Division is judged.
The chief officer of the Dark Law Division is Cui Jue, who holds the book of life and death in one hand and the judge's pen in the other, and is just and selfless. When the ghost enters the trial procedure of the Dark Law Division, the chief officer Cui Jue will let the ghost first state the sins and good deeds of his life, and review these evils and good deeds one by one, combined with the investigation report of the Punishment evil and Yang Good Division, and make a final judgment on it. The result of his judgment is based on his deeds in the yang: those who have done a great deal of good deeds, who walk the path of heaven and ascend to heaven; those who commit heinous sins, take the path of hell and enter hell; those who are good and evil, in large numbers, should be judged by virtue of their specific good and evil into the path of animal life, the path of hungry ghosts, the path of shura, and the path of humanity. The Animal Path is aimed at those who are good at killing in the Yang Realm, because they have killed too much, and when they are reincarnated as beasts, they are punished by the first life. The Hungry Ghost Dao is aimed at the Yang fools and greedy people, and the hungry ghosts repay their Yang foolishness and greed. Shura Dao, who has done many good deeds for the world, can be a good person in the next life and be respected by the world. Although these three ways are more numerous than the Heavenly Dao and the Hell Dao, they are after all a minority compared to humanity, so it is often said that "ten souls enter the earthly mansion and nine people return!" ”
After the verdict was made, Cui Jue handed over the ghost to two enforcers (the God of Day and the God of Night) to execute, and for those who had done a lot of good deeds, the two enforcers of Minotaur Ma Mian would give their souls to Lü Dongbin and bring them to heaven. For those who sin against the heavens, according to their main sins in the yang, they are sent to different hells. Here the level of hell is the period of imprisonment (the duration of punishment), and the content of hell is the type of punishment (the type of punishment), for example, the first layer of hell is the hell of cutting the tongue, and the punishment is to stir up dissension and slander the souls of others in the yang, and in this layer of hell, the soul needs to serve ten thousand years in prison, and suffer the pain of cutting the tongue every day. The second layer of hell is the scissor hell, and the object of punishment is to instigate widows to remarry in the yang and help those who have a husband who has a wife to cheat, serving a sentence of 20,000 years, and suffering from finger cutting every day.
Most people in the world are good and evil, and for this part of the ghost, the god of the day and the god of the night will take him to reincarnate. Out of the Yin Cao Di Mansion, you will encounter a river, called the Forgotten River, there is a bridge on the river, for the NaiHe Bridge, there is a stone at the head of the bridge, for the three living stones, on which are written in blood your past life, this life and the next life, when you have finished reading your three lives, you will walk on the Nai Ho Bridge. There is a mother-in-law on the bridge, who was originally a Meng Jiang woman in the Yang Dynasty, because her husband reincarnated and abandoned the previous covenant and whiteheaded one night, and from then on decided to stay in the house forever, with all the tears of a person in the world, boiled into Meng Po soup, so that he can be a person again in the next life and forget the sorrows of his past life. However, some ghosts are reluctant to drink this soup, and at this time, the gods of the day and night will enforce it, throw the ghosts into the Forgotten River, and undergo a thousand years of experience. Watching the people he did not want to forget, walking over the bridge, but he could not see each other for life, but also watched him drink the Meng Po soup, forget himself, and suffer physical and mental suffering.
After walking across the Naihe Bridge, a new life began, and looking back at the litigation process of this soul, the viewer must be sighing. In fact, the order of the underworld itself is in the service of the Yang Realm, which tells people that they should do more good and do less evil, and that there are gods in the three feet of their heads, and that they should strive to be worthy of everything.
