The summary is based on what I perceive is 'important' in the book.
Conversation in between Deity JiGong, Yang Sheng and Prison Guard
If there is contradiction of meaning convey, the book prevails.
There are times I might questioning parts of the points inside the book doesn't mean I don't believe it. I need enlightenment on the doubts that I raise
TOURING THE SEVERING OF SINEWS AND EXTRACTING OF HAND BONE PRISON
The Hell Guards use sharp knives to sever sinews of the hands of souls who are strapped to wooden crosses. They strip the flesh of the hands to feed the iron dogs. Then they extract the bones of the guards. The dogs enjoying the flesh which has been stripped out of the hands of the souls. These dogs never domesticated.
A case of vegetable seller
Manipulate the weighing machine to cheat customers. No honesty in doing business.
A case of "rag and bone" man
Collecting rags and old clothes, scrap iron etc, then sold to bigger shops. Cheat when buying rags and old clothes from householders since householders would not know and don't bother the price.
A case of wife of government officer
Nothing to do during free time when husband goes to work and children in school. Playing mahjong. Then experts in all types of gambling. Develop gambling habit. Neglected home and not look after growing children and family. Husband advised to quit gambling and concentrate at home but family quarrels instead.
