Chapter 326 Letter
"If there is really an underworld after death and a judge can see the merits and demerits of people in life, and the King of Yama is in charge of life and death, then those mortals with evil thoughts will naturally worry that they will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell and suffer all their suffering because of their evil deeds in life?"
"So they will do more good deeds to make up for their sins in hopes. And there is another type, that is, they are not actually a villain, but they still deliberately do good deeds and accumulate virtues, so that they can be reincarnated into a wealthy family in the next life, and the principles are also the same..."
"Little do you know that if you do evil without intention, you will not punish, and if you do good intention, you will not reward you. Too many people are obsessed with it..."
Du Bai said with emotion, and then he paused slightly and chuckled: "And Mr. Xu, a good official who devoted himself to the country and the people, does not need to worry about these things at all. Because their contributions to the people of the world and to the country and the country must be that when he reaches the underworld, the King of Hell will politely respect him a cup of tea."
If the King of Hell were still alive, he silently added a sentence in his heart.
Xu Zhiyan nodded slightly, looking very convinced of his words: "Thank you for the good words. But I have only seen some strange people and strange things so far, but I have never seen anything about the real immortals and gods, so I wonder... Is this world really as the ancients said, and there are gods three feet above my head?"
When he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the clouds in the sky, with a little sadness in his eyes, as if he was thinking about whether there were really immortals looking down at the earth on these clouds.
When he said this, Du Bai suddenly felt aroused his heart and remembered a method that might be able to experiment.
He thought for a little while and decided to reveal some intriguing information appropriately: "Actually, I have a lot of research on this and have achieved some results."
"Research...achie?" Xu Zhiyan looked at him in confusion, not knowing the meaning of it.
"Yes, the existence of immortals and gods may be something that we mortals cannot reach. But it may not be possible for us to get closer to some through another method of tricks..."
"What Brother Du said about those monks and Taoists?" Xu Zhiyan shook his head slightly, "I have visited those temples and Taoist temples, but even those seniors who claim to be masters cannot give a clear answer in the next clear answer, nor can they prove that the immortals and gods really exist."
That's because the immortals and gods have disappeared. How could they give a response? If they really give a response, they would be even more terrifying to think about it. We need to investigate whether it is a demon wearing fairy skin like the Thirteenth Aunt before...
Of course, Du Bai didn't say this sentence, but just smiled mysteriously: "I am different from those people. What you want to know must be searched through your own strength."
He shook his head again and said, "It's just that this matter involves the secret of heaven and cannot be disclosed. But when I see Mr. Xu, such a good official, I can give some advice."
"If Mr. Xu really has a short time to go to the desolate border in the northwest direction. If he goes there, he may find what you want to know!"
"Oh?" Xu Zhiyan showed a look of surprise on his face, and looked at him seriously as if he had regained him.
"Brother Du's words are serious?"
He would not believe it at first, after all, the other party was just a mortal, so how could he know the secrets among ghosts and gods? It was just that he thought of the experiences he had talked with the other party before, and he had a very good understanding of immortals and gods in his words and deeds. Many of them were even clear about the content that was not recorded in the Seizure Society, which made them admire them very much.
Now when talking about this seemingly absurd topic, after initially suspicion, I couldn't help but feel the last bit of hope in my heart.
Now that my uncle has not had enough time, it would be too luxurious to continue looking for it aimlessly as before. Even if the truth of this news is very small at the moment, it is the most authentic news at present, and it may be worth the last try!
He also believed that Du Bai, who had always been very reliable before, would not be so ignorant of the world and choose to joke about such a key thing.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said with a thoughtful look on his face: "It just so happened that my uncle will continue to set off to visit a few old friends in the northwest after today. There may be a chance at that time... I just don't know the desolate northwest and the land is vast. Where should I go and how can I find clues?"
He couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Du Bai thought about it and came up with an idea: "This is not difficult. Please come over with paper and pen. I can write a letter of recommendation for you."
"Recommendation letter?" Xu Zhiyan was even more puzzled.
If it is just a letter of recommendation from the government in the northwest, it is completely unnecessary. Because Mr. Xu's former disciples and old friends were everywhere in the world, it can be said that even if Mr. Xu's identity was a certificate of vassal that could pass the world, no one dared to stop him, but would provide him with delicious food and drink.
And if this recommendation letter is for those ghosts and gods...
That's too ridiculous!
Xu Zhiyan laughed at himself, shook his head slightly, and threw this unrealistic idea behind his mind. He thought that it was probably because the other party knew some strange people in the northwest who could help him, so he said this. Strange people often have strange temperaments. It is hard to say whether they would disdain the powerful and noble like the masters in the rumored stories. Perhaps this recommendation letter is just for the sake of easy work.
The two of them came to a stone table in the backyard and ordered the servant to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Then Du Bai began to write down the pen word by word.
During this period, he had no intention of avoiding it, so Xu Zhiyan kept watching. When he saw what he wrote, Xu Zhiyan nodded slightly, which was indeed just a regular letter of recommendation.
To save some tedious words, the general content of the recommendation letter is "I found that this old man has been thinking about the people and the country all his life, he is a good official and a good person, and I hope that everyone who sees the recommendation letter can give him some care, etc...."
There was nothing out of the ordinary until he wrote the signature "Du Baijing Shang" and stopped writing.
But what made Xu Zhiyan feel a little strange was that although the whole line of the letter was written about people, some inadvertent details seemed to be written for people who were not human...
I couldn't help feeling a little strange, but Xu Zhiyan didn't want to go deeper, just thinking that it might be the preferences of those strange people, and I had to communicate with them in this way before I could talk together.
There are many strange people he has seen over the years, but unfortunately, many of them have strange tempers, but few are truly capable.
I wonder if Brother Du’s friend will be different this time, he is a little curious.
