C222 Earth Temple

Madam Ming gave me a sidelong glance and said faintly, "Now, do you think that this Third Sister should die?"

I knew in my heart that Third Sister had indeed done something great. Not only had she done something bad for Madam Guan, but also for me.

After this heart has been taken away, it would be too difficult for me to find the Master Xue again. A person without a heart can be a living corpse, but the soul without a heart, I do not know if it can still exist.

I looked at Little Tang Wei lying on the ground and couldn't help but sigh. Third sister missed her child too much, but this kind of longing caused the child to die. I don't know how to say it, except for the words "good fortune makes a fool of people."

At this time, Mr. Zhao said from the side, "I think killing Third Sister is useless. Little Tang Wei was already dead, and it didn't matter if Third Sister was still alive. "Since it doesn't matter, why not let her live?"

Madam Guan shook her head. "You should be punished if you did something wrong. If I don't get the reward and punishment straight, how can I submit to the public? "

Mr. Zhao laughed and said, "If we can find that heart of ours again, will we be able to spare Third Sister's life?"

Madam Guan was stunned for a moment. "It's pretty easy to find that heart, but it's impossible." The world is big, where are you going to find it? "

Mr. Zhao said, "Just because others can't do it doesn't mean that I can't. In any case, Third Sister is only a little brat. Using her life in exchange for her heart is very worth it. "

Madam Guan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave her alive first. I hope you'll give your all to come and exchange."

Then, with a wave of her hand, the surrounding paper men rushed up and left with Third Sister.

There were only three people left on the street. The living Mr. Zhao and I, the dead Little Tang Wei.

Mr. Zhao walked to the side of Little Tang Wei, tapped her forehead with his finger, and said softly: "Why should I live, and why should I die? Actually, death can end things once and for all. There's no pain. "

Little Tang Wei lied on the ground, unconscious, not responding to Mr. Zhao's crazy words at all.

Mr. Zhao asked Little Tang Wei again, "Do you want to live, or do you want to die?"

Little Tang Wei still did not make any movements.

Mr. Zhao smiled at me: "Eldest Nephew, do you want her to live, or do you want her to die?"

I said, "Of course I want her alive."

Mr. Zhao laughed, and sighed: "Did you see that? Your death is not up to you. They dug out your heart and turned you into a corpse. Your life is not up to you. You have clearly already gone to sleep, but there will always be people who want you to come back to life. "

Mr. Zhao took out a piece of yellow paper and said, "Life is like this, you can't help yourself. Do your best. "

As he spoke, he covered Little Tang Wei's face with a yellow paper. The yellow paper was very big, covering all of Little Tang Wei's orifices.

When he was done, he said to me, "I can't save her. Her heart was gone, like a spilt pot. Once you place your soul inside it, it will immediately leak out. "

I looked at the yellow paper on Little Tang Wei's face and said, "So, she's definitely going to die?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head, "That's not it. Didn't you see that I sealed her orifices with yellow paper? At the very least, her corpse will be fine for a short period of time. "

The Mr. Zhao signaled me to carry him, and then we walked towards the Tang family. On the way, Mr. Zhao said to me, "Someone dug out my heart. However, the person who dug out the heart did not intend to kill her, but to remove the tattoo on the heart. Therefore, the Little Tang Wei's soul should have been casually thrown away. "

I nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, that's right. But where is the soul of the Little Tang Wei? "

The Mr. Zhao said, "This is the key. If we find her soul, then there will be hope for her revival. Even if he couldn't be revived, perhaps he could be like Xia Xin and become a living corpse. Or if she's lucky and gets a heart, she can be resurrected. "

I nodded in deep agreement. Then he asked Mr. Zhao, "How do we find her soul?"

Mr. Zhao told me to put the corpse on the sofa and then mysteriously asked, "Do you know where all of the people's souls went after they died?"

I thought for a moment before replying, "He went to the ancestral tomb?"

The Mr. Zhao said, "The ancestral grave is the place where the corpse is kept. Not long after death, due to the dependence of the soul on the body, they would follow the corpse into the ancestral tomb. However, as time passed, the attachment between the soul and the corpse became weaker and weaker, causing it to float around. "

I nodded. "Then according to your guess, where do you think the soul of the Little Tang Wei is?"

The Mr. Zhao said, "It's at the Earth Temple. "I've already seen it. It's at the back of the district. There's a village in the city, and there's a temple in the village."

I curiously asked, "Little Tang Wei's soul is at the Earth Temple? "Why would she go to the temple?"

The Mr. Zhao sighed, "After a person dies, they will become a ghost. Ghosts would enter the Underworld and be interrogated by the King of Hell. A good man becomes an official in his next life and a bad man becomes a horse and a beggar in his next life. Therefore, where could the soul of the Little Tang Wei not go to the Earth Temple? She's waiting to go to the Underworld to stand trial. "

I shook my head and said to Mr. Zhao, "Don't think that you can lie to me. It's not the first time I've seen a ghost. The more I see, the more I suspect that the Underworld exists. What Yama Minamiya said about the judgement of King Yama or the Merit Book, I think these are all folklore.

Unexpectedly, after I said that, Mr. Zhao actually nodded in praise: "Not bad. He was the one who scared himself. However, how powerful were the spiritual forces of a human being? People believed this when they were alive, but after they died, they believed it too. Over time, there really will be a place like this. "

"Have you met Nagzul? In the Graveyard of Gods, didn't the Nagzul have dealings with us? Logically speaking, it is not the same thing as us. Even though he was capturing souls everywhere, it was not necessarily the same as in the legends — sending people to the underworld. I even suspect that he took the soul and ate it himself. "

I was stunned hearing that, but after carefully analyzing it, I felt that what the Mr. Zhao said was more and more reasonable.

The Mr. Zhao sighed and said, "These Nagzul are very smart. They used our folklore. "The temple is specially used for the Earth Temple, the City God Temple, and the Temple of Yama. This is a place where new souls are waiting for their demise."

"After the soul died, a pregnant woman should have been reincarnated, but they had heard too many stories about ghosts and gods. After they died, they naturally went to this place to wait obediently. In the end, Nagzul came. As for where the Nagzul had brought them, or how he had dealt with them. "Then no one knows. None of them came back."

I said to Mr. Zhao, "So you're saying that we should immediately go to the Earth Temple to retrieve Little Tang Wei's soul?"

Mr. Zhao nodded: "That's right, that's what I meant. However, what you want to go to is not the Earth Temple of the mortal world, but the Earth Temple in the eyes of the ghosts. "

Puzzled, I asked, "What's the difference?"

The Mr. Zhao said, "The Earth Temple in the human world is just a symbol. Meaning, in this place, there was a gathering place for ghosts. But where this gathering point is, we can only know after we become a ghost. "

I nodded and said, feeling a little awkward, "But that won't do. I'm alive, I can't find that place. "

Mr. Zhao laughed: "Don't worry, didn't that Tang fellow die just now? Can't you just follow him? "

Before I could reply, Mr. Zhao smacked the back of my neck. My body went numb and I lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was in bed, wearing a shroud. Next to it was a table with three candles burning.

I took a closer look and saw that the flames on the three candles were all like little people jumping. This was his life's will light.

Startled, I rolled out of bed.

But when I stood on the floor, I saw that the other me was still lying on the bed. That's my body.

I shouted a little angrily, "Mr. Zhao, come out right now!"

A lazy voice came from behind the door, "Call him second uncle."

Mr. Zhao pushed open the door and entered. In his hands was a metal basin with some ashes. He put the basin on the ground and began to burn paper for me.

I said to him, "When can you stop being so wicked? Do I agree to it? You just want to hook out my soul? "

Mr. Zhao said, "You don't want to save Little Tang Wei? How about this, I'll put your soul back. "

I waved my hand and said, "I naturally have to save him, but at the very least, you have to ask for my opinion, right?"

The Mr. Zhao laughed and pointed to the door: "That Tang guy is waiting for you outside. You can go with him to the Earth Temple."

Puzzled, I asked, "That Tang guy is so kind?"

The Mr. Zhao sighed, "On the road to the Yellow Springs, who doesn't wish to have a companion? I told him that you were dead too, and that the boy was very happy and would have to wait for you. "

I spit. I don't think there's a good person here.

I said to the Mr. Zhao: "I can go find Little Tang Wei, but don't try to burn the paper. Even if you do, I won't be able to receive it. Go find Xia Xin. She just disappeared down the stairs. "

Mr. Zhao said, "Xia Xin, there's no need to look for me. She was tracking the location of the Little Tang Wei's heart. There should be a conclusion soon. "

I looked at Mr. Zhao in surprise. "How did you know?"

Mr. Zhao took out his phone from his pocket and waved it at me. "Because she called me."

It's been so long, I forgot I can even make a phone call. I scratched my head. I wanted to say something, but I had nothing to say, so I could only slowly go downstairs.

Uncle Tang was indeed waiting for me downstairs. When he was alive, he didn't want to be alive. After he was dead, his ghostly aura became even more eerie. He looked up at me and said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "Ninth day, I didn't expect us to be on the same road. Once we reach the Netherworld, we will need to take care of each other. "
