Talking about people becoming ghosts.

Superstitious people think that there is a "soul" after death and call it a "ghost". People die like ghosts. Ghost, return also. Born between heaven and earth, born also. People stay in this world and go home naturally when they die.

It is said that people don't know they are dead just after they die. The first seven days are the days when people come back to see them after they die to make sure they are dead. After the first seven days, I will leave this world and go where I should go, otherwise I will be homeless and become a wandering ghost.

Those who haven't left at that time are mostly unwilling. Therefore, we should always do all kinds of things that we are willing to do. There are many inexplicable things in the world that make people afraid.

Since ghosts exist normally in another world, what about after death?

According to the records of the nether world, ghosts die as swords, which is the form of ghosts after death.

Zhang A Duan, Volume 5 of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, tells a story: When a woman was young, she suddenly fell ill, depressed and in a trance. His wife caressed him and said, "This is a ghost disease." Sheng said, "Duan Niang is a ghost. How can a ghost get sick?" The wife said, "Otherwise. People die as ghosts, and ghosts die as cockroaches. Fear of ghosts is the same as Jews.

A dead man got a ghost disease because ghosts are afraid of cockroaches.

The explanation of "evil deeds" in the book spectrum of evil deeds in Maoshan is as follows: there are usually two ways for evil spirits to cultivate immortality, one is to cultivate immortality in the body, and the other is to cultivate immortality in the form of soul.

In contrast, the former is much more difficult and rare than the latter, because the process of cultivating immortals and even exorcising evil spirits is based on a hundred years, and in most cases, if there is no burial treatment of emperors and princes, it is difficult for people to keep their flesh from rotting for such a long time after burial (even if there is burial treatment of emperors and princes, the body can only be said to be more perishable, and even if the tomb bureau is carefully designed, it will be destroyed by grave robbers).

Compared with the evil spirits who have not cultivated into their true bodies, the body of evil spirits can remain intact in most circumstances, but the soul cannot leave the body. Just like the living, most wizards' instruments for dealing with ghosts are ineffective against evil spirits, and their bodies will integrate the strength, speed and tenacity of evil spirits. Therefore, in Taoism, "evil is evil."

It seems that the ancients did not agree with the unknown afterlife.
