Although Grandpa was mysterious and extraordinary, I knew he had always protected me.
Now that Senior Brother Zhuang Sheng had been sent on his way, Master and I had soaked in the Yin Spring and gained some fortune.
And all of this must have been carried out by the Black Emperor at Grandpa's behest!
On the way back, Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister finally asked Master and me what the underworld road had been like, and what Two Realms Mountain—the mountain said to divide yin and yang—looked like.
Master and I both shook our heads and said we had not seen it.
Senior Brother was greatly surprised.
"You didn't see it? Didn't you escort Junior Brother Zhuang Sheng to Two Realms Mountain before coming back?"
Master said nothing, while I carefully described everything that had happened along the way to Senior Brother and Senior Sister.
Only after hearing it did the two of them understand.
"So you have to pass through a great canyon and cross a suspension bridge before reaching Two Realms Mountain!"
"Yeah! The underworld may be far more complicated than we imagined."
"..."
Master added at that moment.
"Why think so much? We'll all go down there someday anyway. We'll find out then.
"As long as we can answer to our consciences and to the Grandmaster.
"Do good and accumulate virtue, and we won't suffer the consequences of evil karma."
Master said this while leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
Hearing him say that, we all nodded.
Master was right. As long as we could answer to our consciences and did good deeds, we would not be burdened by evil karma even after going down there.
With that, I drove back to the city and took Master back to the hospital.
