Eighteen Layers of Hell According to the "Eighteen Mud Plough Sutra" translated by An Shigao of the Eastern Han Dynasty, hell is divided into eighteen layers, which are collectively called eighteen layers of hell. The "layers" of the eighteen layers of hell do not refer to the upper and lower levels of space, but to the time and content, especially above time. The eighteen levels of hell determine the length of time for sins committed during life. Each layer of hell is twenty times more bitter and twice as long than the previous one, and it is all punishments such as sword killing, fire, cold, freezing, pit and valley. By the time we reached the eighteenth level of hell, the suffering was indescribable, and it was impossible to calculate the date of release.

Among the eighteen mud ploughs of hell, there are eighteen hells, and what are the eighteen? They are Guang Zhiju, Juxulu, Sangjudu, Lou, Fangshu, Caowubeici, Dulu Nandan, Bulu Banhu, Wujingdu, Niludu, Wuluo, Wuman, Wuyi, Wuhu, Xujianju, Moduganzhihu, Outongtu, and Chen Mo. These are all Sanskrit sounds, all of which are the punishments of some swords and soldiers, fires, colds, freezes, pits, valleys, etc.

On the first level, all the living people in the hell of pulling out their tongues sow discord, slander and harm others, have a smooth tongue, distinguish clever words, and lie and deceive others. After death, he was beaten into the hell of pulling out the tongue, the little ghost broke open the mouth of the person, clamped the tongue with iron tongs, and pulled it out raw, not at once, but elongated, and slowly dragged back into the hell of scissors, the hell of the iron tree.

If you instigate her to remarry, or match her, then you will be sent to scissors hell and cut off your ten fingers! Not to mention that her husband is not dead, just like the princess in "Water Margin", Pan Jinlian had no intention of seducing Ximen Qing, but the princess instigated her to curry favor with Ximen and gave her poison to poison Wu Dalang. Not to mention Pan Jinlian, what happened to Ximenqing, just talk about Wang Po, scissors hell is enough for her!

On the third level, those who are separated from each other during their lifetime, and who instigate discord between fathers and sons, brothers, sisters, and husbands and wives, will enter the Iron Tree Hell after death. The trees are all sharp, picked under the skin from the back, and hung on the iron tree. After that, you will go to the hell of tongue pulling, the hell of steamer.

On the fourth level, if he commits a crime in the Yang World, if he does not vent his true feelings, or if he goes through the door and dots the sea up and down, even if he escapes punishment, he will eventually die in his life, right? Then they went to different hells to suffer.

On the fifth level, there is a kind of person in the steamer hell, who has a short family on weekdays, and uses false rumors, frames, and slanders others. It is often referred to as a woman with a long tongue. When such a person dies, he is thrown into a steamer hell and thrown into a steamer to be steamed. Not only that, but after steaming, the cold wind blows, reshaping the human body, and bringing it to the hell of tongue pulling.

On the sixth layer, those who maliciously set fire to the Bronze Pillar Hell or took revenge for the purpose of destroying the evidence of the crime, and set fire to the Bronze Pillar Hell after death. The imps strip you naked and make you* hold a copper pillar tube with a diameter of one meter and a height of two meters. The charcoal fire was burned in the cylinder, and the fan was kept blowing, and soon the copper pillar cylinder was red...... Have you ever watched "The God List"? Su Daji's cannon branding, you must be excited at this point.

The seventh layer, the knife mountain hell slaughterer, not to mention killing, killed cows, horses, cats, and dogs in their lifetimes, because they are also lives, maybe their previous lives were also people, or maybe they are still yours because the yin is different from the yang world, there is no distinction between high and low, cows, horses, cats, dogs, and people, and those who come are collectively called living beings. Those who commit one of the above two sins will be sent to the Hell of Daoshan after death, stripped naked, and made to climb the Knife Mountain naked* depending on the severity of their sins, and may "reside" on the Daoshan Mountain.

On the eighth layer, the iceberg hell will be sent to the iceberg hell after death for all wicked women who murder their husbands, commit adultery with others, and maliciously have abortions. Make him strip naked and * go up the iceberg. In addition, there are gambling habits, people who do not honor their parents, and who are unkind and unjust, so that they are * on the iceberg. Pan Jinlian is here!

On the ninth floor, the oil pot hell sells * prostitution *, thieves rob, bullies the weak, abducts women and children, falsely accuses and slanders others, and seeks to occupy other people's property, and the person who has a wife is beaten into the oil pot hell after death, stripped naked and thrown into the hot oil pot and fried, pop, pop! According to the severity of the circumstances, the person who is guilty of the crime of being blown up n times has just come out of the iceberg and is escorted to the oil pot hell by the imp to warm up...... The number of the eighteen levels of hell that people usually refer to is correct, but they do not necessarily understand the meaning. The difference between the eighteen layers mentioned in the "Eighteen Mud Plough Sutra" is not mainly in the up and down of space, but in the difference in time and criminal law, especially in time. If we compare it with the time of the Yang World, the first level of hell is based on the 3,750 years of the human world, and all beings here must live here for 10,000 years, and they can't die a day early, and this 10,000 years is equivalent to 13.5 billion years in the human world. And because the time and life span of hell are multiplied in turn, when you reach the eighteenth layer of hell, it will be hundreds of billions of years, and such a long period of torture can be said to be a veritable catastrophe, and the painful and cruel scene is unimaginable and incomprehensible to the world.

The tenth layer, the Cattle Pit Hell, is a hell of revenge for the beasts. All living people kill animals at will, basing your happiness on their suffering. So good, go to the hell of the bull pit after death. Thrown into the pit, several bison attacked, the horns were topped, and the hooves of the cow were trampled on another record, and on the contrary, there was a "knife boat hell", which was not among the eighteen layers of hell, and will be added later.

There are "chicken girls" in the hell of the knife boat. She wears a double-strand high bun on her head, a pointed collar and narrow-sleeved undergarment, her body is plump and beautiful, her expression is steady and gentle, her lips are lightly pursed, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, reflecting the scene of comfort and pleasure. She is in stark contrast to the eerie and terrifying scenes around her, the inmates screaming the heavens and the earth, and the hideous faces of bulls and horses, like "standing out from the crowd". Tell the world not to kill and break the vows, that they are miserable now, but they will be happy after they die, and that they will be happy when they eat chickens and eggs on earth, but they will be miserable when they go to hell in the future. In the same way, the "chicken girl" is "happy" to raise chickens now, but it is "bitter" to go to hell in the future.

On the eleventh level, if a living person gives birth to a baby, for whatever reason, such as the baby is born stupid or disabled, or because of patriarchy, the baby is drowned and abandoned. Such a person dies and is sent to a stone-crushed hell. It is a large stone pond (trough) in a square, and a boulder of the same size is hung with a rope, and a person is put into the pool, and the twelfth layer of the rope is cut with an axe. After death, he will be beaten into the hell of the mortar and put into the mortar to kill. The strange thing is that if you talk while eating, especially swearing, foul language, and swearing on the street, you will also be sent to hell after death.

On the thirteenth layer, those who do not respect others, do not honor their parents, are not upright, and are crooked will be sent to the Blood Pool Hell after death. Throw yourself into the pool of blood and suffer. I don't quite understand that all those who have a difficult birth, vomit blood, and bleed to death are also thrown into the pool of blood to suffer after death?

The fourteenth layer, the vain death hell must know that it is not easy to come to this world as a human body, and it is the opportunity given to you by Lord Yama. If you don't cherish it, go to commit suicide, such as cutting the veins to death, taking poison, hanging to death, etc., to anger the Lord of Yama, and after death, you will be put in prison for death. Don't think about being a human again. I advise those who are alive to live tenaciously no matter how difficult they are, because suicide is a sign of cowardice. Especially the silly boys who were martyred.

On the fifteenth level, the punishment hell is rare now, but this sin is very great. That is, those who dig graves will be sent to hell and punished after death.

The sixteenth layer, the volcanic hell, is more extensive, and those who damage the public and private interests, give and accept bribes, steal chickens and dogs, rob money, and set fires will be sent to the volcanic hell after death. Driven into a volcano and burned alive without dying. In addition, there are monks and Taoist priests who break the precepts. He was also driven into the volcano. (This floor should be overcrowded)

On the seventeenth layer, the stone mill hell tramples on the grains, thieves, thieves, corrupt officials, and oppressors of the people will be sent to the stone mill hell after death. Grind into a meat sauce. In addition, there are monks who eat meat, and Taoist priests are like this.

On the eighteenth floor, the knife and saw hell cut corners, deceived the superiors and subordinates, abducted women and children, and bought and sold unfairly, and after death, they will be sent to the knife and saw hell. The clothes of the visitors were stripped naked, tied in a "large" shape to four wooden stakes, starting from the crotch to the head, and sawed to death.

The eighteen hells are ranked according to the length of time they have been guilty and the severity of their crimes, and if the life span of the hell is measured by the light of the shortest time, one day is equal to 3,750 years in the world, thirty days is one month, and December is one year, and after 10,000 years, that is, 13.5 billion years in the world, they are finally released from prison, and each hell is pushed back one by one, and each hell is twenty times more bitter than the previous one, and the life span is doubled, and when it comes to the eighteen hells, it is indescribably miserable, and it is impossible to calculate the date of imprisonment.

The eighteen layers of hell in the east and the west are not the same, but the eighteen layers of hell are recognized as the most terrifying places, and Jack has entered the eighteenth layer of hell, which means that Jack will never be able to appear in the human world, even if it is the dark world, he will not go deep into the eighteen layers of hell for a Jack, where there is almost decontamination.

Tonight's battle is considered tragic, but there is one thing that the principal can't understand, that is, why Kenan came, the fantasy world and the human world have been blocked, even if Kenan is strong, but the horror of space chaos is indeed known to everyone, Kenan will never come to the human world specifically for himself.

That means that there is something in the human world that can be of interest to Kenan, and although the headmaster doesn't know what it is, it must be important and worthy of Kennan's life to come to the human world.

Jack finally died, and one of Fang Yu's own wishes was finally fulfilled, but Fang Yu, who was transformed into this heart, faintly felt that something was wrong, because, as if, there was a bigger conspiracy, Jack must be very important to the dark world, otherwise how could there be someone to rescue him, and it was still a god who personally took action, however, Fang Yu didn't have the slightest clue.

Mo Yiyu's face was pale and she was in a coma, maybe after she fell into a coma, she would know what kind of state she had fallen into when the headmaster, Wayne, was fighting.

Wayne didn't say a word, she deeply felt the lack of her strength, Wayne had secretly made up her mind, she wanted to return to the dark world, because, the dark world has more powerful black magic, Wayne decided to wait until the day when she came back and returned to the human world.

But no one knew that the dark world had dispatched a strong man to the underworld to rescue Jack.

Legend has it that the Yin Cao Difu was controlled by the Ten Palaces of the King of Yama, which were called: King Qin Guang, King Chujiang, Emperor Song, King of Qiguan, King of Yama, King of Equality, King of Taishan, King of the City, King of Bian Cheng, and King of the Wheel.

King Guang of Qin -- is in charge of the books of longevity and premature death, birth and death in the world, and manages the punishment of the underworld and the auspicious and murderous life in the afterlife. The Ghost Judgment Hall is located in the middle of the sea, outside the Wojiao Stone, and on the Huangquan Black Road due west.

The King of Chujiang - presides over the bottom of the sea, and is a living hell under the Wojiao Stone in the south.

Emperor Song - the king of the Song Dynasty is in charge of the bottom of the sea, and the black rope hell under the Wojiao stone in the southeast.

The King of the Five Senses - is in charge of the Hell at the bottom of the sea, under the Wojiao Stone in the east.

King of Yama - presides over the bottom of the sea, and calls the Great Hell under the Wojiao Stone in the northeast.

King Bian Cheng - is in charge of the bottom of the sea, and shouts under the Wojiao Stone in the north to call the Great Hell.

King Taishan, in charge of the great seabed, the hot hell under the Wojiao Stone in the north of Ding.

The king of the city, in charge of the bottom of the sea, is the great hell of the great heat under the fertile stone in the west.

The King of Equality, in charge of the Great Undersea, the Great Hell of Abi under the Wojiao Stone in the southwest.

The king of the wheel, the palace is outside the wojiao stone in the underworld, due east, directly facing the place of the five turbid worlds.

There are also the chief judge Cui Fujun, Zhong Kui, black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, Meng Po God, etc. The entire Netherworld is under their control!

Above these gods, there is also a Jizo Bodhisattva. King Jizo Bodhisattva intends to transcend all the ghosts of the underworld, so that the world will no longer do evil and will no longer fall into the underworld and suffer in the underworld. Therefore, all the ghosts, although they have committed mistakes in this world, if they sincerely repent and change their ways, they can be lenient for their sins and be spared from suffering.

There is a bodhisattva in the underworld, and his name is Jizo.

The Sanskrit name begs for the bottom of the barberry sand, and is instructed by the Buddha to meditate in the morning every morning to observe the opportunities. In the middle of the two Buddhas, there is no Buddha world to educate the great compassion bodhisattvas of the six realms. Patience is as immobile as the earth, and meditation is as deep as a secret treasure, hence the name Jizo. In Esoteric Buddhism, its secret name is the Sorrowful Wish Vajra or the Wishing Vajra. The Lotus Samadhi Sutra says: 'Tantuo hides the path of hell and holds a human head, the jewel hides the path of a hungry ghost and holds a jewel, the treasure seal turns into a beast and stretches out the hand of the wishful treasure seal, the one who holds the earth and turns the path of the assura and can support the earth and supports the asura, the one who removes the obstacle and hides the humanity and removes the eight sufferings for people, and the sun hides the way of heaven and removes the five decays of heaven and man and removes their afflictions. In addition, the earth, the heart, can give birth to ten thousand dharmas, and everything is born from this; the hidden and hidden also contain the immeasurable pure merits of constant sand, and there are meanings such as being able to generate, to carry, to take, to hide, to support, and to be strong.

Bodhisattva: The abbreviation of Sanskrit 'Bodhisattva'. 'Bodhi' is enlightenment and the way, and 'Sa' is sentient beings and sentient beings. It is also translated as Kaishi, Gaoshi, Tuas, etc., and the general name is the Mahayana sentient beings who seek the Buddha's fruits, develop bodhicitta and practice the bodhisattva path. There are two meanings of self-consciousness and self-awareness: for oneself, one seeks the Buddha's way and Bodhi for self-realization, and for others, one goes down to transform sentient beings, and realizes and transforms sentient beings with Bodhi. Therefore, bodhisattvas are also enlightened beings, and sentient beings who can become enlightened beings.

The Bodhisattva of this place once made a great wish in front of the Buddha: Hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha! If the Buddha Lord came to see him with sincerity, he ordered him to guard the underworld!

The first stop in the underworld: the local land temple.

The deceased is called the living soul, after the four major decomposition of the deceased's body, the carrier of the bearer's life information energy is separated from the body after about 12 hours, as the saying goes, the soul, the soul will be very painful in the process of getting out of the body, so it is best for the family not to touch his body to alleviate his pain. There are land temples in every place, some of them are not visible to the naked eye of our people in the yang world, but it is real, and it gives me the same feeling as the yamen I saw on TV, with antique decorations, a brown and red desk in the middle, and a local "household registration book", which records the local mountains and rivers, population, livestock, and the number of personnel. As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, one side of the land protects the other side, and the birth and death of a soul must pass through the local land temple. Although the land is a lowly god, it is a well-known god, and everyone does not dare to collide. It is also an important messenger of communication between all walks of life in the world and the divine realm, from the transmission of expressions to the incineration of worshipping money, it is inseparable from the help of the father-in-law of the land. When someone has reached the end of his life, the Yin soldier will take the soul card and the approval ticket to take the deceased soul to the land temple to clear customs, and the land father-in-law will open the local "household register" for verification, the deceased belongs to the local clan, and he is indeed dying, and one by one to verify that there is no religious belief, so he will stamp the local land seal on the approval ticket and pass through the underworld. There are two passages on both sides of the Land Gonggong God Case, one is the main road directly to the Western Elysium, and the other is the Huangquan Road to the Netherworld. One pass is bright, the other is pitch black. The Yin soldiers pressed the ghosts and turned into the Yin Wind and stepped on the Huangquan Road.

The second stop in the underworld: Huangquan Road.

The thirteen stations of the underworld

Huangquan Road is not easy to walk, and there are no old and young people on Huangquan Road. Looking upwards on Huangquan Road, you can't see the sun, moon and stars, looking down, you can't see the dust of the land, looking forward, you can't see Yangguan Road, looking back, you can't see relatives and friends. Some people will ask, why didn't the family of the deceased use these tools to burn paper oxen, paper horses, and paper carts for the deceased? The disciples of the regular hall understand even better, sometimes they buy people to grab their souls, and they all rob their souls on this Huangquan Road, because they have not yet entered the capital city, and everything is still going to turn around. In today's terms, Huangquan Road can be regarded as an accident-prone area. Now I think about the first time I walked Huangquan Road, my heart is still so nervous, so sour, thinking of the feelings of my deceased relatives when I walked Huangquan Road, but I can't see off my children and grandchildren with filial piety, and tears are in the corners of my eyes. The road to Huangquan was bumpy and bumpy, some souls from all walks of life cried and refused to go, some were full of rhetoric to please the Yin soldiers, and some were confused and went straight all the way... No matter how much the soul begs and tries all its best to escape, it will not be able to break free from the iron chain of death in the hands of the Yin soldiers and return all the way. No matter how tired the soul goes, the ghost will not let you rest and delay the trip, you must hurry out of this Huangquan Road as soon as possible, joke that there is no inn on Huangquan Road, no matter how much money there is in the Yangjian on Huangquan Road, it is also in vain, and the destination is one place, the underworld - Xudu City.

The third stop in the underworld: Wangxiangtai walked out of Huangquan Road and went to Wangxiangtai. Once you arrive at Wangxiangtai, you can't come back to your hometown from afar. A stone platform is high, emitting bursts of dark light, sitting and lying on the road to turn around, you can look back on it, write three red characters to look at the hometown. When I walked to the Wangxiang Terrace, there was almost no possibility of resurrection, and the body of the yang world was almost at the time when the gold was put into the cabinet for burial. This Wangxiang Terrace is made by the Bodhisattva Guanyin, who has no great compassion in the south, sympathizing with all sentient beings and not wanting to die, and thinking about the true feelings of their relatives at home. Let the soul of the deceased stand on the lookout platform to take a last look at his hometown and his relatives. Standing on the lookout platform, you can see Yangshi's house, see relatives and friends, and see your dead body lying there.

The fourth stop in the underworld: Vicious Dog Ridge.

After getting off the lookout platform and walking all the way, I suddenly heard a burst of dog barking, which became louder and louder, and the people who listened to it became more and more creepy. Knowledgeable friends should know that dogs and chickens are two very important mediums of communication between the yang and the underworld, the dog can see the soul of the underworld barking, and the golden rooster announces that the ghost must avoid the sunlight so as not to scatter the soul. At the same time, careful observation friends can see that the old tooth dog will never sleep on the hot kang head, and the golden rooster will never sleep on its stomach. All living beings have their own laws and laws. I saw groups of vicious dogs, with fierce eyes, full of steel teeth, and fur as hard as steel wire, biting madly at all souls, and refusing to let go without tearing off their legs and feet. Souls from all walks of life tried their best to escape the iron mouth and steel teeth of this vicious dog, some were bitten off their legs, some were torn off their feet, some became one-armed, and some became severed hands. It is not so easy for people to change from souls to ghosts, and they also have to go through these three calamities and nine tribulations. It's not easy to be a person, and it's not so easy to become a ghost. Just thinking about this in my heart, a group of vicious dogs also bit us on the clouds, and when I saw this scene, I realized that the dry food and dog-beating sticks that the world's gold earned for the corpse's palms when they were buried were prepared for crossing this vicious dog ridge. However, the dog who is born is a dog lover who walks on the ground and moves forward all the way through this vicious dog ridge; When the butcher who killed the dog in the three rooms of the Yang world arrived here, I am afraid that he would also taste the pain of being slaughtered and divided
