Chapter 3: The Netherworld

Pregnant Qiao put her hands on her forehead, gently rubbed the corners of her forehead, looked at the skeleton and said, "Where are we going now?"

The skeleton skeletal took two steps forward, squatted in front of Pregnant Qiao, and glanced at Pregnant Qiao nervously, a little uncertain about the adult's erratic emotions.

Then he said cautiously: "According to the custom, Xiao Gu should guide the adults to the Yama Hall of the Xudu City, and after eliminating the karma and karma according to your life records, you can re-enter the reincarnation. ”

Pregnant Qiao raised her eyes to look at the skeleton and said, "I want to meet your Divine Monarch." ”

Skull Xiaogu's hands kept swinging in front of his chest, his head shook like a rattle, and he said urgently: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible. The hierarchy of the underworld is very strict, not to mention the Divine Monarch, even Lord Yama is not easy to see. ”

"Then who can I meet? I can't just be unjustly killed, right?"

The skull's small bone sockets sank slightly, and it looked like it was thinking about it very seriously.

After a while, he replied to Pregnant Qiao: "Don't worry, adults, please listen to Xiao Gu."

Although the underworld is under the management of the Divine Monarch, it is the Ghost Emperor of the Four Directions who is really in charge of the underworld, who is in charge of the seventy-six divisions of the underworld, and has jurisdiction over the ten halls of Yama and the eight ghost generals.

And below each ghost general, they are in charge of the ruling ghost officials of different ranks. Just like where Xiao Gu is located is the Supervision Division, which is in charge of the Ghost King General. ”

Pregnant Qiao stared at her and said, "Tell the point!"

The skeletal bone was so frightened that he couldn't stand steadily, sat on the bow of the boat, and hurriedly said: "Yes! If the Yin Spirit has doubts about the cause of his death, he can complain to the 'Death Division' in charge of the Japanese tour general, but ...... it."

"But what?"

Skull Bone swallowed nervously and continued, "It's just that very few Yin Souls are willing to do this, because if the Yin Soul after death is not registered in the Underworld, after seven hundred and forty-nine days, it will be scattered and completely dissipated between this side of heaven and earth.

If the Yin Soul wants to avenge his grievances and complains to the 'Dead in Vain', then there are evidence collection, investigation, trial, and closure of the case, at least half a month, and at most half a year, so most of the Yin Spirits cannot afford to consume. ”

Pregnant Qiao pursed her lips, sure enough, whether it is a person or a ghost, she can't escape the routines of the rivers and lakes.

It seems that I have to let go of my grievances, and I really can't stretch it out in a short time. Just as he was about to ask more about the underworld, he suddenly felt the hull of the ship shake violently a few times.

She looked frightened, hurriedly stood up, and looked up, only to see that the originally calm Netherworld Sea suddenly set off a huge wind and waves at this moment, and the undercurrents slapped on the hull, and suddenly the whole ship shook violently.

The wind was blowing, and a dark drizzle was falling in the sky.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already pouring in, mixed with stormy waves, and swept towards the Pregnant Qiao and the Skeletal Bone Netherworld.

The boat swayed around with the waves, tumbling up and down in the Netherworld. Pregnant Qiao grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, soaked in seawater, and shouted at the skeleton bone, "What the hell is going on?"

The skeleton bones were also tightly grasping the side of the ship, and the soul fire flashed in their eyes at this moment.

He said loudly: "My lord, Xiao Gu doesn't know what's going on, it's really strange, Xiao Gu has led the way for the Yin Soul for more than a hundred years, and the Netherworld Sea has never had such a storm." ”

Pregnant Qiao's face turned pale, did he just come to the underworld and want to die again, and he sank into this bottomless netherworld, fate is really very kind to him!

The ten fingers of the skull bones flipped up and down with both hands, and several tricks were played, and a soul fire suddenly ignited in the palm of his hand, and with a bang, he flew into the sky.

shouted repeatedly: "Don't worry, adults, Xiaogu has already sent a distress signal, and it won't be long before someone comes to support ......."

Before the skeleton could finish speaking, a monstrous wave roared like a monster with a huge mouth open, and in an instant, the cold, wet and salty water swallowed them along with the nether ship.

Cold, bitterly cold—

She felt that the blood veins all over her body seemed to have condensed in an instant, and her limbs couldn't move.

A large amount of cold sea water poured in from the mouth and nose, like pieces of ice blades and ice picks, trying to cut people apart inch by inch.

As her consciousness drifted away, she slowly opened her eyes and wanted to take another look at the world, only to see a dazzling blue light coming at her.

"My lord, the bones won't let you die—" The voice was distantly from another world.

The corners of Pregnant Qiao's mouth twitched, it was really a loyal little skeleton.

Warmth, as if lying next to the fire, Pregnant Qiao curled up, unconsciously wanting to get closer to this warmth.

"You're awake. The voiced old voice rang in the ears of Pregnant Joe.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked around, where she was lying on a large rock, seemingly floating on the Netherworld.

The skeleton bones were not far from him, and the bright white bones had turned gray at the moment, and the soul fire in his eyes had been extinguished.

"Skeletal—"

Pregnant Qiao rushed to the side of the skull bone with an arrow step and helped the skull skull bone.

"Little guy, it doesn't matter, it just burned the soul of the natal life, and the physical exhaustion fainted, and the little life can still be saved. The old voice sounded again.

"Who are you?" said Joe, looking around warily.

I saw that the giant rock below me suddenly stretched out a turtle-like head, and a pair of cloudy triangular eyes were staring at Pregnant Qiao at the moment.

"Hehe—who am I? I haven't used a name for a long time, little one, you can call me 'Eight Kings'. ”

"Eight-King?" Pregnant Qiao suddenly had black lines on his head, remembering that he liked to read some miscellaneous books when he had nothing to do before, and there was a story about the "Eight Kings" recorded in "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai": Feng Sheng released a turtle essence, and the reward for getting the turtle essence who called himself the "Eight Kings" was to have a pair of eyes that could identify treasures.

It's just that I don't know if this "Eight Kings" is the "Eight Kings".

"Little Lao'er used many names, but some of them have been forgotten. Xiao Lao'er has lived for too long, so long that it seems that at the beginning of heaven and earth, Xiao Lao'er has always existed. ”

The Eight Kings paused and continued: "Hehe-little one, it is fate for us to meet, let's give this to you as a meeting gift!" With that, he slowly spit out a turtle shell ring from his mouth.

Pregnant Qiao adjusted her breathing, sank her breath, and said: "Thank you for the help of your predecessors, the grace of saving your life, you can't forget it, I really can't accept gifts from my predecessors." ”

Just kidding! Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!

Pregnant Joe doesn't want to casually owe a favor debt when she first arrives. Besides, when she was young, she watched "Journey to the West" and was very impressed by the passage of the old man's Sutra, so I wonder if this sudden storm was caused by this old turtle.
