Judge of the Lamp

The Wangchuan River is in the Yin Division, and there are a lot of golden beans in it, but I didn't see a meditator coming to make meritorious deeds.

The master shook his head and said, "They can't touch the sinful karma in the river. In this world, no one can touch the water of the Wangchuan River except the master, the brothers and me.
That canoe and that fishing net are part of Master's outer body. Except for the three of us, ordinary people will die if they touch the water of the Wangchuan River, no matter how high they are. "

"Do not touch the water, just use tools to fish?"

"Why do you always like to take advantage of loopholes!" The master sighed helplessly, "The river water will cling to the merits that are directly fished from the river and cannot be washed away. Only the three of us know how to get rid of the river water, otherwise it will be Xuanwu True God. Even if it touches the river, it will not be spared.”

"The Wangchuan River is so fierce?" Xu Zhiqiong had heard people say before that he couldn't touch the water of the Wangchuan River, but he didn't expect that even the True God Xuanwu couldn't resist it.

The master nodded and said, "Only the master knows about the origin of the Wangchuan River, and maybe the senior brother also knows a little bit. It should have existed since the beginning of the establishment of the Yin Division."

Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "What about the criminals we captured? What about the criminals whose karma is more than two inches? How will their karma be dealt with?"

The master asked: "The karma is less than two inches, you can't pick it off, otherwise you will be severely punished by the Taoist school, unless there is a letter of pardon, this is the iron law set by the brother to prevent the judge from killing indiscriminately.
Do you know why the iron rule set by senior brother is two inches? "

Xu Zhiqiong thought about this question, but he never got an answer.

"It should be two inches of criminal karma, which just reached the limit of capital punishment." This was the only answer Xu Zhiqiong could get.

Liu Xun sighed: "This is the case in most cases, but there are occasional exceptions. People with two inches of crimes may not be unable to correct their mistakes, and people with nine inches of crimes may not be big treacherous villains in a few days.
The senior brother set up a dissenting room and gave the judge a chance to appeal, just to prevent this kind of special case from happening.
The reason why the sin karma was set at two inches at the beginning was because the two-inch sin karma reached the point where the soul could not bear it, and the river water could not melt it. "

The soul can't bear it, the river can't melt it?
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

Liu Xun didn't speak, just stared at a dead soul for a moment.

The dead soul drank Meng Po soup and walked down the Naihe Bridge in a daze.

At the end of the Naihe Bridge, Emperor Huanshu's palm appeared and patted him on the head, but no crime was found.

"Is this a person who has no crime at all?" Xu Zhiqiong asked.

Liu Xun shook his head: "It's hard to say."

Emperor Huanshu's hand has been groping on top of the man's head for a long time.

He seemed to have touched the trace of something.

After confirming the trace, Emperor Huanshu picked up the dead soul and threw it into the Wangchuan River.

The soul struggled in the river for a moment, turned into a cloud of dust, and was quickly washed away by the river.

The master said: "This is what the so-called soul can't bear,

A person whose sin karma exceeds two inches, if the sin karma is not removed after death, will shed the shell and get into the soul, but the soul cannot bear the weight of the sin karma, and will eventually fall out of the soul.
That man just now had traces of sin karma on his head, but there was no sin karma in his soul, which proved that his sin karma exceeded two inches, beyond the range that the soul could bear.

His crimes were not taken away by the judge, and he was not tempered in the underworld. He really slipped through the net. According to the Taoist rules, he was thrown into the Wangchuan River by his master, where he was wiped out. "

Xu Zhiqiong said in astonishment: "The sin karma fell out of the soul, where did it fall?"

"It's hard to say, most of them fell into the mortal world, and many of them fell on the road to the underworld. These sloughed crimes cannot be seen by ordinary judges, nor can they be seen by the underworld cultivators. Only the master, senior brother and me three Individuals can see,
If it is picked up by us, it can still be disposed of properly. If no one picks it up, it will be taken away by the culprit with special means.

The sinner came to the world for the first time, was beaten to the brink of death by chaos, and lost all his combat power,

When he came to the world for the second time, he was sealed by the gods again, leaving only the slightest combat power,
However, over the years, he has gradually recovered by absorbing sin karma from the world. "

The soul can't afford it, so that's what I said.

"What does it mean that the river cannot melt?"

Liu Xun said, "You'll know later."

The two waited by the river for a while, and the master once again strengthened Xu Zhiqiong's eyesight with the technique of giving and taking.

Xu Zhiqiong saw an elderly figure walking from the Hall of Yama to the river with a heavy sack on his back.

Seeing the thin and hunchbacked figure, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't bear to ask, "Is it Emperor Huanshu again?"

Master nodded: "Master is a person who can't be idle."

The old man came to the river with the sack on his back.

Emperor Huanshu, who was fishing for golden beans in the river, pulled the boat to the shore.

The old man boarded the boat, came to the middle of the Wangchuan River, and sprinkled a bag of broken sin karma into it.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Where do these rotten crimes come from?"

The master said: "These karmas are more than two inches long and were picked off by the judge. The longer the karma, the stronger it will be. If it cannot be broken, the river will not be able to dissolve it."

Xu Zhiqiong asked: "How can we shatter the sin karma?"

The master said: "Crime karma cannot be crushed by ordinary force. The method in Senluo Temple is to use punishment to grind the crime karma little by little. This is the right way to smash the crime karma."

"In addition to the right way, it seems that there are other ways?"

"Yes!" Master nodded and said, "The third-grade skill of judging officials, the arbitrariness of the universe, can increase or decrease a person's criminal karma.

The seal of rewarding a good doctor can cut off a period of sin, but it depends on the amount of good deeds of the other party. Under normal circumstances, after doing good deeds, the sin karma will fall off by itself. fix. "

Speaking of this, the master paused for a moment: "I don't seem to have taught you how to use the seal of appreciating the good doctor, and it's my fault.
In addition, the sinner has a method to smash the sin karma, and the person who is bewitched by the sinner has a precedent for smashing the sin karma after obtaining the power of the world.
There are forbidden techniques in the underworld that can crush crimes, but it is not yet known who owns the forbidden techniques.

Taotie's greedy way can swallow sin karma, but it is not something that ordinary practitioners can do. The techniques of their Taoism are hard to fathom, so I will tell you in detail later when I have free time. "

It was rare for Master to give some pointers, and Xu Zhiqiong listened carefully.

While talking, a messenger escorted several criminals to the Naihe Bridge. At the end of the bridge, Emperor Huanshu beat him repeatedly with his hand, but he did not find out the crime. He touched them twice and let them pass.

"Why can they let it go?"

Liu Xun said: "These dead souls are different. Their sentences in the underworld have expired, their crimes have been completely smashed, and there are no traces of crimes on their heads. They can be reborn in the next life."

Another dead soul went on the bridge, was photographed a few times, and had no karma. After groping, he found traces and was thrown into the river by Emperor Huanshu.

Another fish that slipped through the net.

Seeing the soul of the dead vanish into ashes, Xu Zhiqiong sighed: "In this way, letting the criminals serve their sentences can be regarded as saving them."

Master nodded: "This is the right way to get rid of sin."

The old man on the Wangchuan River poured out his sins, carried a sack of meritorious deeds on his back, took a boat, and returned to the shore. Liu Xun said: "He still has to share the meritorious service between the judge and the meditation practitioners according to the ticket."

Different avatars, different divisions of labor, collaborative operations, all year round.

This servant is...

Xu Zhiqiong sighed and said, "Your master is really hardworking!"

"He..." Liu Xun felt that there was a sense of sarcasm in the words, so he didn't respond.

After a long silence, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly realized one thing: "A meritorious service is actually a crime, and judges are promoted through crime."

Liu Xun blinked his eyes when he heard the words: "You can't say that, the crimes in the Wangchuan River have also been refined."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Ming Dao also eats meritorious deeds for promotion, in other words, they also eat sin karma."

The master pondered for a moment and said: "They are not the same. When meritorious deeds enter their bodies, they will be refined by the yin energy inside and outside the body. The qi mechanism of meditation practitioners must be equal inside and outside, otherwise the yin energy in their bodies will backfire, so they never Don't leave the underworld easily."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "So the judge is the only one who directly eats the sin karma without refinement?"

"Yeah, that's not what I said..." Master stuttered.

"It's no wonder that all the Taoists in the world use qi mechanisms, but we only use the power of imagery, because we are the same as the sinners, and we all eat sin karma?"

Liu Xun sniffled and said, "That's not what I said."

"Then what do you say?"

"You are presumptuous!" Liu Xun was a little annoyed, and then softened his tone, "Forget it, I shouldn't have scolded you just now, holding a lamp to kill Xingxiu.

There is another mystery here, and I will tell you together today, have you heard some words from the sinner? "

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "The sinner said that all the divine power in the world comes from him."

Liu Xun shook his head and said, "This is nonsense! All the cultivation in the world comes from the power of the world, and has nothing to do with the culprits outside the world."

Cultivation in the world comes from divine power in the world, this is not easy to understand...

Just as Xu Zhiqiong was about to ask, he heard his master say, "Most of the cultivation bases in the world have something to do with the principles of yin and yang. The gods mastered the principles of yin and yang back then, combined with their own cultivation bases, and used yin and yang in their bodies. Refined by different methods, they formed their own Taoism,

Only our way of judging officials did not originate from the principle of yin and yang, but was created by my master. "

Speaking of originality, Liu Xun has a guilty conscience.

Xu Zhiqiong curled his lips: "Is it really original?"

"Yes, it should be regarded as an original creation... After defeating the culprit, the master borrowed some of the culprit's methods, and when the senior brother changed the way of judgment to the way of judging officials, he also borrowed some of the methods of the culprit."

Xu Zhiqiong lowered his eyes and said, "How much did you learn from it?"

"It's not too much, but we still use the power of the world." Master pretended to be indifferent, trying his best to hide his embarrassment.

What embarrassment!

This is a good thing!

Xu Zhiqiong smiled invisibly.
