Chapter 247 Yang Si becomes the King of Hell
It is said that once upon a time, there was a Zuoling named Yang (an officer title in the Eight Banners, commanding 2-300 people). Because he was the fourth eldest in the family, he was called Yang Si.
Yang Si was an upright man with a gentle temperament. He was in his forties and in his prime.
One day, after Yang Si got up in the morning, he suddenly said to his family: "I had a strange dream last night. I dreamed that a man wearing golden armor called my name."
But the family members didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a dream and nothing to be alarmed about.
But Yang Si said: "When I tell you what happened in the dream, you will know whether I am making a fuss or not!"
It turned out that in Yang Si's dream, the man in golden armor called his name and said to him: "Now the position of King Yama in the seventh palace of the underworld is vacant, and no one has filled it yet.
Nanyue God has reported your name to the Jade Emperor and wants you to fill the vacancy. He will bring you to an audience soon. You quickly prepare your court clothes and wait for the summons. "
When Yang Si heard this, he wanted him to go to the underworld to become the King of Hell. Although he was a high official, he still wanted to pass away from this world!
So I declined again and again, not wanting to agree.
The Golden Armored God said: "The memorial has been recommended to the Jade Emperor, and there is no way to reverse the matter. However, you are not the only one who has been recommended this time. Counting you, there are four people in total. Maybe the Jade Emperor did not If you are chosen and someone else is appointed, your life will not be cut off."
After saying that, the Golden Armored God left.
Yang Si said: "This dream is so real, it is no accident. I think it is better to dress up in court clothes and wait for the Jade Emperor's summons."
After the family members heard about it, they were hesitant and did not ask a tailor to make court clothes for him.
That night, Yang Si had that dream again, and the Golden Armor God said to him again in the dream: "Why are you so disobedient when I asked you to make new court uniforms? Yesterday, the Jade Emperor issued an imperial decree appointing you as the new King of Yama. There is no need to go to the audience again.”
Yang Si suddenly woke up. He hurriedly told his family what happened in his dream, and then he fainted and died.
According to local folk customs, there is "Jiesha" (an old superstitious activity. After a person dies, in order for his soul to return home, the family will ask a warlock or wizard to calculate a date according to a specific method. On this date A ritual was held to bring the soul of the deceased home from the underworld.)
On that date, the Yang family held a ceremony as usual.
Before Yang Si's death, there was a man named Hu under his command (the head of a hundred households, a low-level officer in the army, equivalent to the current company-level cadres, township armed forces ministers, and police station chiefs). He also came to pick him up that night. Evil activity.
When Hu Baihu passed the entrance of the alley where Yang Si lived, he saw a car approaching in the light of lanterns, colorful flags flying, and a man wearing a python robe sitting in the car.
Hu thought it was an official from the Procuratorate, so he stood respectfully by the roadside, hoping to let the vehicles go first.
While waiting, the vehicle approached and he saw that the person in the vehicle was Yang Si.
Yang Si also saw him and shouted to him in the car: "Hu Baihu, don't be afraid! After I took office in the underworld, there is still one less judge around me. I hope you can come and help me."
When Hu Baihu heard this, he was very frightened and quickly refused: "My mother is already old and is waiting for me to fulfill my filial piety; the child is still young and needs my support! I can't die now."
Yang Si said: "I have already told the Jade Emperor that this matter is non-negotiable. Your mother is old and I know it. I will let my brother-in-law Zhang honor your mother on your behalf."
After saying that, both the vehicle and Yang Si disappeared.
Hu Baihu didn't care about going to Yang Si's house to attend the ceremony and hurried back home. He felt very regretful in his heart. If he hadn't gone to pay homage, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
He told his mother what Yang Si said. The mother and son had no choice but to face each other in sadness.
At this moment, Hu Baihu suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
After he opened the door, he saw the person holding a piece of silver in his hand and said to him: "I am Zhang, the brother-in-law of Yang Sizuoling. Last night, I dreamed that I was called by King Yama and ordered me to take out fifty Two taels of silver, as your family supports your mother. I don’t dare to disobey King Yama’s order, so I came to give you a gift of silver, and I hope you can get on your way as soon as possible.”
Hu Baihu knew that the matter was irreversible and that he was about to pass away, so he went out to say goodbye to his relatives and friends and explain his funeral arrangements.
Three days later, Hu Baihu really died!
