Chapter Seventy-Four: The Netherworld
It is a wide corridor, the walls and floors are made of black gold masonry, and the lights on both sides are as bright as day. On the walls on both sides are hung the portraits of the ten halls of Hades and ghosts, each of which is fierce and vicious, and has a hideous appearance.
There was a clanging sound of iron ropes in her ears, Qiao Ming lowered her head, and found that her hands were entangled in soul chains, and in front of her, several souls were crying bitterly. She followed this group of souls, guarded by black and white impermanence, one after the other, and the two of them had expressionless faces on their faces, and led them forward.
It's... Qiao Ming's face tightened, and his heart was both frightened and confused.
Walking through the hallway, there is a sudden opening in front of me. I saw a large hall standing in front of me, and there was a black gold plaque hanging on the door, which read: Wheel Hall.
Qiao Ming was shocked when he saw it. Could it be the place where the underworld is reincarnated?
But now she can't speak, her body can't move, and her soul involuntarily walks forward with the impermanence of black and white, as if in a dream.
There were two burly men with dark faces standing at the entrance of the main hall, wearing suits? Qiao Ming frowned and glanced at them, they were really suits!
The door of the main hall was closed, but Impermanence turned a blind eye to it, and went straight through it with his soul. Noisy roars and cries suddenly sounded in his ears, and Qiao Ming's heart trembled and he looked up.
There are a sea of people in front of you, and the atmosphere is mixed. There was a lot of noise and scolding around, and there were also big fights because of the crowding. Each soul held a golden nameplate in their hands, and stood in front of dozens of huge pillars of light with different faces.
Those pillars of light radiated a golden glow, and they kept spinning with the nameplate that the soul had sent in. As the nameplate was swept in, the spirit disappeared in an instant. In the hall, there are constantly spirits walking, and there are constantly souls coming.
Along the wall of the hall, Black-edged Impermanence brings the spirit behind him through a side door. The noise behind him was gone, only the sound of thudding papers could be heard.
One hundred and ten ghosts hung their heads with lights hanging above them, sitting around dozens of round tables, working on the documents in their hands. A pillar of light in the middle of the round table swept the papers, transporting them to the huge wall at the other end of the hall.
Qiao Ming looked up and saw that it was densely covered with handwriting, and those handwriting kept flipping and jumping on the wall. At the bottom of the wall are golden nameplates. Disappearing and reappearing.
A man in a suit and leather with a short beard walked in front of him, and he seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw the impermanence of black and white.
"What's the matter?"
Bai Wuchang said respectfully: "Several souls need special treatment. β
"Where did you come from?" the man opened a black wooden door and led the others inside.
"Eighteen layers of hell, the torture of ten thousand calamities is released. β
It's like a huge office, and unlike the black and gold walls along the way, the dΓ©cor here is very elegant. There are several pictures of the sea hanging on the white walls, the floor is gray, the roof is a huge crystal chandelier, and the desk and chair are a mix of black and white.
Qiao Ming was puzzled for a while, is this really the Netherworld Mansion?
"What did you do?" asked the man with the short beard, raising an eyebrow.
"One leaks the secret of heaven, one is disrespectful to the immortal family during the sacrifice, one secretly hides the soul to hinder reincarnation, and the other reverses the destiny of heaven. Bai Wuchang replied.
"King Yama is merciful, is he preparing to grant amnesty to the eighteen layers of hell recently?" said the short-bearded man with a smile.
Black and white impermanence bowed his head slightly, but did not speak.
"Alright," the short-bearded man pulled out four blank sheets of paper from a drawer and threw them on the table, "sign and draw." β
Bai Wuchang withdrew the bolted soul chain, and those souls reluctantly stretched out their bone claws and pressed them on the white paper in front of them. Qiao Ming frowned tightly, looking at the paper in front of him without moving. And the black-and-white impermanence and short-bearded man didn't pay much attention to it when he saw this.
The three souls beside him pressed their handprints, but they suddenly disappeared, and the white paper on the table instantly turned into a palm-sized golden nameplate.
Qiao Ming was shocked when he saw it, staring at the three nameplates, and was shocked in his heart. Have all those souls become brands?
"She wants to end the deal and get her blessings back. Bai Wuchang said suddenly.
"Yo," the man on the other side chuckled, "This good fortune karma has gone with reincarnation, how can there be any reason to take it back." It's not grocery shopping. β
Bai Wuchang's face moved slightly, and his tone was gloomy: "There is a nine-life spirit cat that let go of the soul in Gu Song's prison. β
"What does that have to do with my Wheel Temple?" the man laughed.
"You..." Bai Wuchang's face showed anger, and Hei Wuchang hurriedly spoke: "King Yama has begun to pay attention to this matter, if it is leaked, our thousand-year-old deal, ..."
"What a joke, when can Impermanence be called 'we' with the Ten Halls of Hades?" the man interrupted Hei Impermanence's words, "The Ten Halls of Hell have their own duties, but I, the Wheel King, have always been conscientious, busy all day long distinguishing between good and evil and grading those souls. You can come to me about reincarnation, and don't talk about anything else. β
"Aren't you afraid that the matter will be revealed, and the king of Yama will sue the immortal realm and let you be wiped out!"
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid," the man smiled, "So, before the matter is revealed, someone will definitely be the first to surrender, don't you say?"
Bai Wuchang was furious: "You mentioned these ideas first!"
"Tut-tut," said the Wheel King softly, "you spread this, and it wasn't me who died first, you know?"
"What do you want?" Bai Wuchang said through gritted teeth.
"It's just a creature to deal with, and it can still stump you for impermanence?"
"Are you trying to force us to be exposed and take the blame for you?" said Hei Wuchang coldly.
"Since the end of the last transaction, you are the only one left who is guilty. The Wheel King snorted softly, leaning back in his chair to look at the black and white impermanence.
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in the chair chuckled and disappeared.
Black and white impermanence's face was gloomy, and his heart was full of anger. What should I do now, is it really allowed to leak their secrets and let the two of them be substitutes for the karma of thousands of years?
Black and white impermanence stood in place, silent and did not speak. Come to think of it, when the first abnormal soul was discovered by the judge, the Wheel King was ready to get out. It's ridiculous that there are only the two of them, in order to prevent the secret from being leaked, they killed all the souls in Gu Song's prison. If the matter is revealed, where will they have a chance to defend themselves for such crimes?
"Now, what are you going to do?" Bai Wuchang's voice was low, but only he knew that for the first time in a thousand years, he felt apprehensive.
"Kill that civet cat. "Black Impermanence's face is fierce.
"No! If we act in vain, we will not admit ourselves. β
"His life is not under our control, but his death is under our control. Although the civet cat has nine lives, the most important thing in the world is killing. Sometimes, we don't have to do it ourselves. "Black impermanence.
