There were only two reasons why a living person smelled like a dead person. The first reason was that the person was not too far away from death, and most of the body had already sunk into the ground.

And the second possibility is that the person is already dead, just like the second son I saw a long time ago, who became a 'living corpse'.

It had to be explained here that this living corpse was not referring to a fake corpse, but rather a corpse that had been occupied by an animal in the climate or an evil spirit. It was not easy to form a living corpse, one needed to occupy the corpse after the victim had taken her last breath. This logic was somewhat similar to rushing the body.

If it was said that this person's corpse was already completely stiff, then normal beasts or evil spirits wouldn't have the ability to easily control it. Of course, there was no lack of things that were extremely resentful or had deep cultivation experience. After all, nothing in this world could be said without question.

According to her aunt, the person in the room was either dying or already dead.

In the past, Sun Laowu and Er Lianzi's matter had caused me to feel a bit of a psychological trauma, and looking at the person in the room now, I started to feel apprehensive.

"Aunt, is there no other way? Didn't you say that you could help him out? You can't just watch him die right in front of your eyes. " I asked my aunt for a solution.

My aunt sighed at my words and said I shouldn't have provoked such a thing.

The reason was because the aunt said that unless a person's body started to rot when they were completely dead, otherwise, the corpse would not emit such a strong smell of death.

And if this person had the aura of a dead person before he died, then it would also be a form of retribution. After this person died, he would only have to go down to Purgatory.

As my aunt said this, I remembered something strange that had happened two years ago when she had taken me to a funeral.

You have to know that my aunt wouldn't even let me walk on the road at night, and I would avoid even the cemetery in a place like hospital, let alone join in a waste of time.

It was the first time I had been with my aunt for so long that she had taken me to a funeral for someone I didn't know.

It was an old woman in her eighties who died. She said it was a resident she had known in the early days. Jushi was someone who had converted to the Three Treasures, but not to the outside world.

The old lady had fasted for more than forty years, and up to the time of her death she had often done good deeds and attended school.

In simple terms, when a patient's life is nullified by medicine and on the verge of death, the guests will chant buddhist mantras to help the dying to bring up their thoughts and help the dying to enjoy an early and blissful life.

Buddhism believed that when a person's dying, their spiritual sense would return to their natural state and enter the Six Paths of Samsara.

However, at this time, those who had committed many evil deeds would usually have a great power. After their spiritual sense left them, it would directly follow this evil power and enter the third stage. This three points to the path of beasts, the path of hungry ghosts, the path of hell.

However, if one had done many good deeds in their life, then this person's spiritual sense would enter the third stage. The last three referred to the Heavenly Dao, Asura said, and humanity.

If the dying had buddhist chanting, then the buddhist power would be the greatest, bringing the living directly to the Western Paradise. However, if there was not enough strength, then it would be easier to enter the Western Paradise.

All in all, this was to help those who had passed away not to suffer or suffer less, to reduce their evil deeds, and to go to a better place as soon as possible.

As the aunt was also a believer in the Buddha, she would occasionally participate in this kind of study support. Or, some people would ask the aunt to be the host, and just like that, they would get to know this old lady.

The aunt said that although they didn't meet often to contact each other, this old monk's cultivation was very high. He was a good person, so he had always respected her.

She told her children and grandchildren that she would always see her wife, who had passed away early in the past few days, smiling at her while holding a giant lotus flower. Therefore, she was sure that her lifespan was coming to an end, so she gathered her children and grandchildren early and told them what to do next. On the second night, after washing up, she said that she needed a good night's sleep.

The next morning, the daughter-in-law wondered why the old man hadn't woken up. When she entered the room, she found out that he had left a long time ago, and that his body was cold.

It was also the middle of summer and there was no smell at all from the corpses that had been there all night. When the grandchildren entered the house, they could smell a faint fragrance, like the old man's usual sandalwood smell, but there was no incense in the house.

Earlier on, when we were dealing with other matters, the old lady told me to ask the eldest aunt to take care of her affairs, so the eldest aunt found out about this news very quickly and brought me along with her.

And when I got there, I smelled a faint aroma all over the room, but I didn't know exactly what it was.

I was curious about what was going on, so I followed my aunt into the house to look at the old lady's corpse. I saw that the old lady had a very serene expression, and there was even a hint of a smile on her face.

When I was taking care of the matter in the village, I also saw the dead from a distance. After this person dies, you will have a different feeling after entering the mourning hall.

There were some mourning halls where you could feel goosebumps all over your body and always felt a little eerie and fearful, but there were some where you didn't feel anything after entering, even if you looked at the testamentary edict directly.

Earlier, I thought that it was all due to my mental state. Later on, my aunt told me that not only could I, with my special physique, sense such a thing, even the average person could feel it.

This was because some people did not have a good temper when they were alive. Even if they died, they would still scare their children. However, some people were kind when they were alive, and they would not intentionally scare others after death.

Within seven days of this person's death, Hun'er was still wandering around the familiar places when she was alive, so she could sometimes feel their presence in the mourning hall.

In short, when I saw that old woman from the past that day, I felt that although she was a corpse, she was still very kind and didn't have the slightest fear. Furthermore, the closer I got to her side, the stronger the fragrance became.

The fragrance was not the kind that was mixed with various chemicals and spices, but was a very comfortable and natural one.

The aunt said it was because the old man had become a Buddha and his body smelled like death, as if he had committed many evil deeds in his life.

If one did too much evil deeds, the body would emit a strange smell before the person died.

And this was exactly the situation for Less Than Auntie's husband.

My aunt said that if I wanted to save this kind of person, it would be impossible for me to do so with my ability.

This was because the pustules on Less Than Auntie's husband's body were not caused by demons and monsters, but was created by his karma. Simply put, it was his retribution!

So my aunt told me to ask them to go to the temple, maybe repent in front of the Buddha and make an improvement, but there was no other way, she told me not to meddle in other people's business.

To put it crudely, it was well-deserved that such a person would suffer such a tragic retribution for what he had done.

After hanging up, Less Than Auntie and Father Zhang both hurriedly asked me if I had a good idea.

Of course, I can't tell the truth about what aunt said. I can't tell Less Than Auntie that your husband did something evil and received retribution, and is about to rot to death …

I don't know the specifics, nor do I know. If you want to save him, you can only bring him to the temple to sincerely repent and show your kindness. Perhaps there is still a chance of survival.

I asked the light Less Than Auntie.

"To repent in the temple? What? There must be a reason for this confession. " Less Than Auntie's expression didn't quite believe what I said.

"I'm not sure what exactly it is, but I'll tell you the solution. It's up to you guys to decide what to do." That was all I could say. I didn't say anything else, so I said my goodbyes and left.

Less Than Auntie immediately called out to me. "Xiao Sheng, you've also seen my husband like this, he can't even get off the bed. How can you go to the temple?

"No, this is the only way." I'm sure.

Less Than Auntie thought for a moment, and nodded his head with a frown. Before he left, he took out two red notes from the stronghold and gave it to me, saying that he cannot let me come here for nothing.

I immediately pushed the money back. "I can't take this money."

Let's not talk about the fact that I never intended to collect money, not to mention the fact that I don't dare to accept the money of someone who has received retribution.

On the way back, Zhang Ma curiously asked me what exactly happened just now. She said that she saw that I wanted to say something but hesitated and asked if there was some sort of secret.

I thought for a bit, then told Less Than Auntie's husband about the retribution he received for the crimes he committed.

Mr Zhang and Zhang Ma were obviously surprised as they looked at each other.

I knew that these words would reach the ears of the Less Than Auntie, and I had the same thoughts.

There are some things that I, as an outsider, cannot say directly, but it would be better to use Zhang Ma's mouth to spread the news, so Less Than Auntie will take my words seriously, and I hope that she can follow the method that I give his.

Although I don't know what Less Than Auntie's husband did, but he was still a human, so I should at least give him a chance to change his fate.
