"You mean, a living person entering the Underworld?" Zhu Shanguo asked, puzzled.
"Yes."
"That... is extremely difficult. The Underworld, by its very nature, cannot accommodate a mortal body. The physical form is too heavy; it would just sink like a stone to the very bottom, unable to see or touch anything. Only by separating your Heart and Spirit—your soul—from your body can you truly perceive and interact with that mysterious Realm," Zhu Shanguo explained. "So, if you wish to go to the Underworld, there are only two ways. First, abandon your physical body and practice the Dharma Gates of the ghost path. Second, after you die."
"What about someone who can communicate directly with the Underworld? I have some matters I want to investigate thoroughly," Lin Hui said.
"For that, you could find a 'ghost granny'—what foreigners call a spirit medium. They are a type of person born with the ability to communicate with spirits," Zhu Shanguo replied.
"Can't you do it?"
