Chapter Two Hundred and Five: I've never seen such a cheap request
Finally, I entered the city of Xudu.
There are two gates inside, and between the two gates and the first gate, there are two lights that float high in the air, but they do not move.
One light is bright, the other is dim and dark.
The dark light walked down and entered the second gate carved out of jade.
As soon as you enter the second gate, you will be able to see ten gates lined up side by side.
One to ten halls are arranged at a time.
The door of each hall is guarded by Yin soldiers, which is very strictly guarded.
When I got here, I suddenly had a very dangerous feeling, as if I would be swallowed up and die in the next second.
It seems that in the dark, my breath is locked by the evil beast, and if I move out of line with a slight outrage, the other party will burst out in the next second.
Remind yourself to calm down.
After a few breaths, the creepy feeling vanished.
Only then did I calm down and patiently observe my surroundings.
Ten halls, arranged from left to right in turn, are: Qin Guang Palace, Chujiang Palace, Song Emperor Palace, Wuguan Palace, Yama Palace, Bian Cheng Palace, Taishan Palace, City Palace, Wheel Palace.
As for the masters of the ten halls, what they are called, I'm afraid that friends who have heard myths and legends will know it.
As for them, what kind of work do they do?
The first palace of Qin Guangwang, who is in charge of life and death in the world, controls the good fortune and evil of the netherworld, and the good people live for the end, and leads to the exaltation;
Under normal circumstances, they will be put into the world and reincarnated as a human being.
Men to women, women to men, those who have more evil and less good, escort to the right high platform of the temple, see the evil mirror platform, whether the heart of the world is good or bad, you can know at a glance, and then send it to the second hall and send it to the ice hell.
The king of Chujiang in the second hall, in charge of the living hell, also known as the ice hell, and there are sixteen small hells, who hurt people's limbs in the yang world, and those who steal and kill the living, are pushed into this prison, and sent to the sixteen small prisons to suffer, and are transferred to the third temple at the end of the term, and the punishment is sent to prison.
The Song Emperor of the Three Palaces, in charge of the Black Rope Hell, and there are 16 small prisons, all those who disobey the elders in the yang world, instigate lawsuits, are pushed into this prison, and are sentenced to hanging upside down, gouging out eyes, scraping bones, and transferred to the fourth hall after completing the sentence.
The king of the four halls and five senses, the ruler of the Great Hell, also known as the Hell, also has sixteen small hells, all those who cheat in the Yang world and cheat on the grain and trade are pushed into this prison, and then sentenced to suffer in a small prison, and sent to the fifth temple for inspection all day.
The king of the five halls of Yama, who originally lived in the first hall, was demoted to this hall because he took pity on the people who had died and repeatedly released ghosts to return the sun to the snow.
The boss calls for the Great Hell, and there are sixteen small prisons for the heart.
All the ghosts who are escorted to this temple will be escorted to Wangxiangtai again, so that they can hear about the family members in the world, and because of it, they will be offended and suffered, and after they are determined, they will be immediately pushed into this prison, and they will be carefully investigated for any evil, and then they will be sent to the sixteen small prisons of the heart, hook out their hearts, throw them with snake food, and behold their heads, and suffer all day, and send another temple.
The six halls of Bian Cheng, the head of the city shouted the Great Hell, and the City of Death, and there are also sixteen small hells.
Those who disobey and are unfilial will be divided into bodies by two little ghosts with a saw, and those who complain about heaven and earth in the human world and weep for drowning in the north will be sent to this prison.
In the case of the crime, they were to be beaten with an iron cone and burned to the tongue, and finally sent to a small prison to suffer, and after the full day, they were transferred to the seventh temple to find out if there was any other evil.
The king of Mount Tai of the Seven Palaces, who is in charge of the hot and annoying hell, is also called the grinding meat sauce hell, and there are sixteen small hells.
Anyone who takes the remains of the Yang Shi and combines the medicine and leaves the relatives will be sent to this prison.
He was then sent to a small prison to suffer for a full day, and then transferred to the eighth temple to be imprisoned for investigation and treatment (that is, theft, false accusation, extortion, murder, etc., if any, he will be punished by going to the oil pot. )
The king of the eighth hall of the city, in charge of the great heat and annoyance hell, also known as the annoyed pot hell, and there are sixteen small hells.
Anyone who is unfilial in the yang world and makes his parents and aunts depressed and troubled will be thrown into this prison, and then they will be punished in various small prisons, and they will suffer a lot, and finally they will be escorted to the tenth hall, and they will be changed into animals forever.
The Nine Palaces are equal to the king, and he is in charge of the iron network of the capital city, and there are sixteen small hells.
Anyone who kills people, sets fires, or hangs the Fa-rectification in the Yang World will be escorted to the main hall, where they will be chained to each other with hollow copper stakes, fanned by fire, burned their hearts and livers, and then sent to the Abi Hell to be punished.
It is not until the victims are reborn that they are allowed to complete their sins.
Finally, he was escorted and handed over to the tenth hall to be put into the six realms of reincarnation. (That is, the path of heaven, humanity, the path of hungry ghosts, the path of asura, the path of hell, and the path of beasts)
The Wheel King of the Ten Palaces is in charge of the ghosts escorted from each hall, distinguishing between good and evil, and verifying the level of guilt or innocence, and then sending them to the four continents to reincarnate.
Men and women are dying, rich and poor, and they will be listed in detail one by one, and the first hall will be known every year.
Whenever there is a demon who has done the most evil, it will make it even more oval and reborn, and after the death of the sun, the sin will be restored, and the land of barbarians will be reborn.
Anyone who is sent to reincarnate will be ordered to be escorted to the god Meng Po in the Meng Po Pavilion, and he will forget about the stage, and pour the soup to make him forget the things of his previous life.
……
I carefully observed, and there were Yin soldiers guarding the gates of each hall.
Some of the Yin soldiers were carefully checking the approval tickets in the hands of the ghosts, and some were checking the height and height of the ghosts, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.
It is no worse than the administrative department of the yang world, on the contrary, it is even better!
And, I observed that one thing is important.
The Yin soldiers and ghosts in this place are all enforcing the law, clear as water and as clear as a mirror.
And those ghosts who have come here will no longer think that everything they have suffered before is a dream, and after realizing that they are indeed dead, they have only settled down a lot.
I didn't dare to make a mistake, and quietly waited for the final judgment of the Hades in each hall.
I thought that after arriving here, my 'work' would be completed, and I wouldn't need to be busy with other things, but I didn't expect that ghost to come to Lao Tzu again.
This time, I treated it with a 'friendly' smile on my face.
It's here to tell me, don't be stupid here, the captain has spoken, and a group of ghosts need to be escorted to Meng Po Pavilion.
These ghosts are the souls of those who have died in vain.
The so-called unjust death due to suicide, disaster, war, accident, murder, etc., is called unjustly killed.
Ghosts who died in vain, after death, their souls do not need to go through Huangquan Road, Wangxiangtai, Vicious Dog Ridge, Jinji Mountain and other places.
There will be a special ghost to pick it up and send it directly to the city of vain.
The city of vain death is located on the right side of the Great Emperor Hall of Hell Fengdu, adjacent to the Nai He Bridge, the blood basin of the bitter realm.
And the hall master in charge of the city of vain death is the sixth hall of the king of Yama, the king of Bian Cheng!
I was dragged away by a ghost called Li Hao, and this time there were not many ghosts, including me, but there were only five.
(No, Lao Tzu is one, they are one.) )
……
The city was very large, and I was taken to a more remote and gloomy corner far from the Ten Halls.
I sensed something was wrong and shook off Li Hao's ghost claws.
Confronting him, his sharp eyes stared at Li Hao, making him uncomfortable.
"Huh...... Hehe, brother, this is almost there. Li Hao's soul fluctuation was slightly embarrassing.
"Are you sure you're meeting here?" I let out a little breath of fire, which suddenly made it feel uncomfortable and involuntarily moved away from me.
Li Hao helplessly explained: "I was forced to ......"
I restrained my aura of Dao fire, waved my big hand, and said proudly: "Lead the way in front!"
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect that I knew the danger ahead and was in a hurry to send him to death.
"What are you doing, grinding and chirping!" I scolded angrily.
"Oh...... Good, good......"
It's not far away...... It should be called floating out not far away, and three ghosts stopped me and Li Hao.
Each ghost has a soul hook around his waist, a soul whip in his hand, and his face is full of the smell of evil and evil.
"Pretending to be a ghost of the Yin Earth, what a crime should I be guilty of!"
The leader of the ghost, the leader of the squad, had a grim look in his eyes, and yelled at me: "Take it down quickly!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Li Hao came out at this time, I was a little surprised, pointed at the team leader and shouted: "Captain, didn't you say that you won't hurt it!"
"Why backtrack!"
As soon as Li Hao's words fell, the two ghosts' ghost whips swung down left and right at the same time, and Li Hao's body was scattered.
The team leader smiled disdainfully: "I didn't want to make your soul fly away so early, it's just that your heart is too good." ”
The two ghosts raised their whips and swung them at the door in front of me.
I don't care about laughing, this way of fighting has long been outdated in the eyes of Lao Tzu, just like a child playing at home, there is no new idea.
When I was about to die, I suddenly disappeared in the same place.
"Smack, smack"
Two loud slaps, and the two ghosts were directly dispersed by me.
Each turned into a mass of yin energy, wanting to reincarnate into a new form.
Two Yin and Yang Dao fires flew out with a snap of their fingers, and they didn't give a chance to scream, and the two ghosts were scattered in an instant, and the dead couldn't die anymore.
"What, now you want to escape?"
I'm approaching, and it's a beastly situation.
It thought it would lead me to a corner and block my way out, and I wouldn't be able to escape even if I wanted to.
I didn't think that now it was trapped here by me.
The city is forbidden to the sky, and ordinary ghosts are poor, and they are not qualified to fly three feet above the ground in the city.
Xu realized that it was impossible to escape death, and the leader of the team was ruthless, and he was about to fly away with his feet.
I watched indifferently as it lifted off into the air, and then snapped my fingers.
A black and white dot of light quickly left.
In the same way, the ghost's scream didn't have time to come out, and his soul was scattered.
With a wave of his hand, he dragged the remnants of his soul after his death. (The so-called remnant soul, which does not have any consciousness, is like a geisman and can be devoured.) )
The other two ghosts were burned by the Dao Fire to the point that they didn't even have slag, let alone remnant souls.
Playing with a ball of soul power in the palm of his hand, he silently hooked the Dao Fire Quenching, and quietly waited for Li Hao to transform into a body.
It is not easy for the soul body that has been whipped by the ghost to transform again.
After all, the soul is the root of human beings, and the whip is inherently made to fight ghosts.
I saw that it was difficult to transform into shape, and the essence soul power that was originally going to be devoured was casually thrown into Li Hao's yin qi.
After a few breaths, Li Hao re-transformed.
The originally happy face, the moment it met my gaze, suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face.
And a thick Taiwanese accent came out of his mouth.
This product turned out to be Hokkien, I'm damn it!
"Where are the fellows?"
"I'm from Xiasu Village, are you a fellow countryman?"
"Stop, stop, I don't have time to listen to this. ”
Li Hao smiled on his face again, turning into embarrassment.
Next, I asked the ins and outs of the matter, and as for what they wanted from me, it was nothing more than taking a fancy to Lao Tzu's pure soul and wanting to devour it.
And they did have to escort a group of ghosts to Meng Po Pavilion to drink soup.
Then he asked him about the way out of the underworld, and he told me that the ghost gate was about to be opened, and that the underworld would select a group of ghosts to be sent to the yang world to enforce the law, and if they encountered a ghost who caused trouble, they would be caught in the underworld and thrown into hell.
Most of the oni are reluctant to accept this kind of drudgery, so many oni are forced to go there every year.
I had an idea, thought about it, and grinned silently.
One year in the world, ten years in the underworld.
I don't know how long I've been in the underworld, but I can't see the sun, moon or stars when I look up.
The so-called sky is dark and dreary all day long, like a mirror full of cracks.
There were only a few special directions, and the sky was like a funnel, with black-gray clouds and mist intertwined, and red lights flashing inside.
I urged Li Hao, quickly gathered people, and threw the ghost whip and soul rope to it.
Seeing that he didn't move, he kicked several times in a row, and then he quickly floated in front to lead the way.
……
A group of ghosts escorted out of the Wheel King Palace, with shackles on their hands and feet, Li Hao was pushed out by me, and took a piece of paper similar to an invoice from the Yin soldier's hand.
Walk with the group of ghosts to a high platform that feels like an altar.
Naturally, I stood by Li Hao's side.
The black light flashed, I couldn't help but close my eyes, and when I opened my eyes again, I appeared on Huangquan Road.
Scanning around, it feels weird.
Li Hao whispered to me to come down quickly, and I walked beside it and asked it where it was.
It told me that when I got off the portal platform and walked straight along the black yellow spring road in front of me, I could go straight to the Meng Po Pavilion.
I'm a little confused, and I still haven't figured out the specific location of Meng Po Pavilion.
After all, it was not easy to come to 'travel' to the underworld, and if you don't remember the specific location of the sightseeing, how can you show off to others that Lao Tzu has been to the underworld in the future?
Of course, this is a joke, mainly because there is always a ghost king in the underworld who intercepts and kills me.
I need to figure out where to go, so that if I get caught, I have a clear escape route.
……
Li Hao is now the leader of the team, and the old god is floating in front to lead the way, and with that high-spirited posture, even I can't help but shake my head and make fun of it.
No matter how awesome, it's also a little ghost.
Such an easily satisfying mentality, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can make friends.
There was a fog all around, and a dark road led to the front.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard the sound of the waves, and then I saw a white pavilion.
There was an old woman, in the white pavilion, stirring a pot of soup of unknown color.
Meng Po Pavilion, also known as the Exorcism Terrace.
That pot is naturally a vessel for boiling Meng Po soup.
Li Hao ordered the ghosts to loosen their ties, and then ordered those ghosts to guard here, and then took me out of the Meng Po Pavilion.
I was very curious, what Li Hao was going to do, but I didn't expect it to beg me in a low voice, and when the time came, it would find an excuse to attract the ghosts who were in charge of the six reincarnations.
If you want me, take the opportunity to kick it into the cycle of reincarnation at that time.
When I heard this request, I felt the urge to give it a beating.
Damn, finally Lao Tzu can leave by opening the ghost door and return to the world.
If I carry out its demands, I will most likely be sent to hell to be punished.
I was really embarrassed, but I suddenly remembered.
Lao Tzu hangs like this, when did he become so cowardly?
So, I decisively agreed to it.
