The crowd followed in large numbers, passing through the stone-paved road, and crowded together at the river where the people in the city washed clothes and fetched water.

The canals in the city lead directly to the Huajiang River, which in turn connects to the main Yangtze River.

It can be said.

The water here will continue to flow south, and eventually converge to the Yangtze River and flow to the sea.

"Why are you here?"

"What are you doing here at the water?"

"The water is not ordinary."

"Why is water so unusual? Isn't it just water?"

"Human life and death are inseparable from water. The water in these rivers, lakes and seas can lead to the Netherworld. If this monk really wants to send people to the Netherworld, he should do it by this water!"

More and more people gathered by the canal, forming a commotion.

The monk didn't do anything, he just placed the soul-inducing lantern on the other side of the water channel.

The lights turned on, blooming with crystal red light.

"It's bright, it's bright!"

"Why does it light up?"

"I don't think I saw any fire either!"

"Why does this feel a bit like the lotus lanterns we put out a few days ago?"

The lantern floated along the current. At first glance, it looked like the lotus lanterns that people had put on the river a few days ago.

Everyone was talking about it, secretly thinking that this might be the reason why they handed down the custom of putting lotus lanterns.

In this world, lotus lanterns really have the power to attract ghosts.

Everyone stared at the lotus lantern as it went away.

Not long after, illusory and hazy shadows of boats floated from the water.

Everyone exclaimed, most of them seeing this thing for the first time.

"What?"

"There seems to be a boat under the water?"

"How can there be a boat under the water?"

"Really, the boat is running under the water and is still shining."

In the dark night, the hazy shadow of the boat floated up and picked up the lotus lantern, then sank into the water again and disappeared completely.

Many people looked under the water and remembered what someone had just said about water, and immediately felt a sense of awe and fear towards the water.

That deep, murky bottom.

Who knows what is hidden inside and where it leads.

Is it a place of ghosts or a place of underworld?

This time.

To everyone watching, it seemed like it was over.

As for the monk, all this has just begun. The monks present all looked at the flower-carrying monk, and the flower-carrying monk responded one by one.

"The poor monk went first."

The monks bowed to the flower-carrying monk, as if his departure was a big deal.

"Master Lao is here."

"Congratulations, Master!"

Indeed, the monk went here to prove the true part of the reward for good and evil, and to witness the scene of evil people being sent to hell.

Later, it was also recorded in the Buddhist scriptures.

But at this moment, everyone who witnessed this scene did not know it, but asked doubtfully.

"Then what else is the monk going to do?"

"I heard that the monk is going to the underworld to send away those evil spirits."

"Hiss, this monk is so powerful. He can not only send people to hell with magic tricks, but he can also travel between the underworld and the yang world?"

"That's Master Nianhua Monk, a famous mage."

The monk stood on the shore.

While reciting sutras and mantras, he sat down cross-legged.

In full view of the public, he put on the face of the evil ghost.

Everyone looked at the evil ghost's face and felt extremely perplexed, but their curiosity was also aroused to the extreme.

Many people had watched from noon until night, but they did not feel tired at this moment, but were very excited.

The brilliance flows, the wind blows and the soul moves.

In the eyes of the flower-carrying monk.

The moment the scene shifted, he was standing on the other side of the Huangquan River, looking at the long river that he could not cross.

Only this time, he had no intention of crossing the river. Instead, he stood by the river and waited for something.

Not long after, he finally arrived.

Groups of evil spirits were escorted by ghosts and gods from afar, passing through the dark and deep land of the underworld.

The evil ghosts had just escaped from the trance-like cycle of life and death, and many of them were so confused that they did not even realize that they were dead.

"It's so dark, so dark!"

"Ah, what is this place and why am I here?"

"What the hell is that? The one in front."

"This is the underworld. We were beheaded in the execution ground. Don't you remember?"

"Is that person in front of me a ghost from the underworld?"

"Ghost, please forgive me, where are you taking us?"

"Where else can we go? It will definitely be hell in the netherworld."

Chains and shackles were tied to their ragged clothes, weighing them down and making their steps too heavy to lift.

But as long as he dared to stop and rest for a while, the ghost's whip would fall from a high place with lightning and strike them accurately.

"Crack!"

Then, screams also sounded on time.

"ah!"

From a long distance away, the monk heard the pitiful wails of the evil spirits. When he turned around, he saw the evil ghosts being whipped with thunder whips and dragged by chains to the bank of the Huangquan River.

The demons screamed and begged for mercy and came to the monk. Some of them recognized the monk and immediately knelt on the ground to beg him.

As soon as he started to move, he was whipped and dragged by ghosts and gods towards the river.

Among them, the monk also saw the former petty official of Chenghan County.

The clerk burst into tears and said to the monk.

"I have an eighty-year-old mother above me, and below me..."

The monk smiled: "That is a matter of life, what does it have to do with you after your death? Besides, when you were doing evil in life, did you ever think that other people also have an old mother and a wife and children?"

The monk just watched as the ghost and god pulled hard, and the evil ghosts were trapped together like a bunch of grasshoppers by the giant spirit god, and they were dragged lightly onto the boat.

The time has come.

The boat started moving and headed to the other end of the Yellow River, accompanied by the inhuman laughter of ghosts and gods, and the shrill screams of evil spirits.

All the sounds disappeared together at the end of the underworld.

The monk looked from afar.

Faintly at the end of the underworld, I could see black smoke billowing, and fire light rising into the sky. There seemed to be countless evil ghosts crawling under the black ashes, hunched forward in the light of the fire.

The monk was shocked when he saw this, but he also felt that it should be like this.

"Reincarnation of cause and effect."

"Good deeds and evil deeds are rewarded."

The monk was satisfied and put his hands together.

It's just that the monk didn't see it when he stood by the Yellow Spring River and looked back at the evil ghosts.

In the human world, the flower-carrying monk standing by the ditch also turned around, but he was looking at the dark mortals behind him.
