According to the Great Oni's explanation, there are eighteen torture chambers in the passage leading from above to the eighteenth layer of hell, and the souls who are sentenced to the eighteenth layer of hell will be thrown into the hell below after suffering eighteen punishments. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info no wonder Tashi was trembling.

There is a big ghost in each torture room, the power is incomparable, and there is a ban on suppressing the soul in the torture room, and the prohibition is set up by the ten halls of Yama, using the karma of the underworld, and has a strong suppressive power on the soul, the big ghost is the master in the torture room, and the forbidden soul can only accept his mercy.

Li Ziqiu asked, "What do you mean by eliminating sins?" According to the management regulations of the underworld, if these karmas cannot be resolved after the third life, they will be offset by punishment and re-thrown into samsara. ”

Li Ziqiu was very curious, "How do you distinguish these things in the underworld, you can tell me!" The big ghost said, "Great God, this is really a bit complicated, although the underworld is under the control of the king of Hades, in fact, it is still under the management of the heavenly court in the end, and the small ones only know how to abide by the laws of the underworld, and the others are really a little incomprehensible." ”

Li Ziqiu also understands that although this big ghost is a minor official, he probably doesn't know much, but it is not difficult to speculate that the relationship between the underworld is the same as the relationship between the world, and under the basic rules, the existence of privileges is inevitable.

"Then tell me what are your basic rules for dealing with souls in the underworld!" This great ghost knows, "After a soul that has eliminated karma is put into samsara, it will be reborn as a human being, and people will do good and bad things in the world, good deeds will accumulate merit, and doing bad deeds will accumulate karma, and the greater the good deeds and the more merit there will be, and the more evil things will be, and the more karma will be." ”

After a person dies, the soul enters the underworld, and the staff of the Hades Hall will deal with it according to his karma and merits, and some of the merits will offset the karma, and some karma is too heavy to offset it, so it will be dealt with by the Hades Hall according to the situation, and some are reincarnated as animals, for example, if they promised to be a cow and a horse to repay their benefactor before their death, but they didn't do it, they are likely to be reincarnated as animals.

Some people are so evil that the Hades Hall will not sentence them to reincarnation, but directly sentence them to hell, and use harsh punishments to eliminate their karma and then re-plunge into reincarnation. Only those souls who are considered hopeless by the Hades Hall to be incurable and unable to eliminate their karma will be sent to the eighteen layers of hell and will not be reincarnated forever after being subjected to the eighteen most painful punishments.

According to the rules of the Heavenly Dao, the underworld is also based on the principle of making people good, so merit can be accumulated forever, but karma must be completely eliminated within three lifetimes. If a person's karma after death is not much, they may be sentenced to reincarnation, which will be eliminated after the accumulation of virtue and good deeds in one lifetime, and if they cannot be eliminated in three lifetimes, they will be sentenced to punishment.

Li Ziqiu listened to the explanation of the big ghost, and felt that there was not much difference between the punishment and the human world, the greater the evil, the heavier the punishment would be, and if the crime was not big, it could make up for the merits. If a person commits the great sin of killing his head, killing him is also reducing his karmic entanglement.

Li Ziqiu said, "I want to go up there, how can I get out?" The big ghost stood up and pointed to the side, and a passage appeared, "Great God, please, follow this until you reach the ghost town of Xudu." "Didn't you say that you can't get out of the eighteenth layer of hell? How can you get to the ghost town from here, and where is the city? ”。

The big ghost said respectfully, "That's all for ordinary ghosts, the great god, you are naturally not among them, from here you can go to the Xudu, the Xudu is the place where the ghosts of the eighteen torture chambers of hell live, you can go to the world, you can also go to the underworld, after the great god arrives in the Xudu, it is convenient to go wherever you want!" ”。

Seeing Li Ziqiu and Tashi walking towards Xudu, the figure gradually disappeared, the big ghost got up from the ground, wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his face, and the little ghost next to him asked, "Head, who was that person just now?" The big ghost sat on the chair, and a little ghost handed over a cup of bright red blood, and the big ghost took a sip, "I don't know, it was good luck just now, a god like them who ignores the rules, crushing us is as easy as crushing an ant, Hades will not fall out with them for this little thing", there is a little ghost next to him who is not convinced, "Lord Hades is not afraid of losing face, this is a hell torture room, but a heavy place in the underworld!" ”。

The big ghost kicked the little ghost away, "You are stupid, you still know that this is a heavy land in the underworld, you don't think about it, since it is a heavy land, how can he come in so easily?" I'm directly facing the eighteenth layer of hell here, except for the white-clothed ghost king who has been here once, have you ever seen anyone else here? ”。 The little ghost Nono didn't dare to make a sound. The big ghost sighed, "Don't be stupid, if you dare to come to hell to make trouble, there will be no one to mess with, and if you make a big fuss, Lord Yama will be disgraced!" ”。

Li Ziqiu and Tashi soon walked to a large gate, and Tashi opened the two dark gates with a light push. Li Ziqiu stepped over the threshold and walked in, Tashi followed behind and closed the black door behind him, and the two came to a large hall, and the exit of the door just now was on the side of the main hall.

The main hall is neither tall nor wide, and it is called the main hall because it is the main hall of a small temple. Li Ziqiu looked at the statue of the god offered on it. The big ghost with the blue face and fangs is the image of the big ghost just now, sitting on a tall chair, holding a naked villain in his left hand, holding his right hand on his knee, staring at the boss, looking at the villain in his hand.

The sculptures on both sides are the images of little ghosts, the hall is silent, Tashi doesn't know when he got a black cloak out, only two eyes leaked out, "King, this is the home of the big ghost just now, right?" Li Ziqiu walked to the main hall and stared at the ghost statue for a while, "This is a ghost temple, you are not Han, so you don't know it." Tashi let out an "oh" and followed behind Li Ziqiu.

There was a dim light shining in through the white paper on the window, Li Ziqiu walked towards the palace door, pushed the door open, a stream of cold air came to his face, Li Ziqiu took a deep breath, and his spirit was lifted, outside was a small courtyard, there were several thick locust trees in the yard, the leaves had withered half, and the gray branches hung withered yellow leaves flying in the cold wind. The sky was gray, the sun was in sight, and it was a cold day.

Tashi shrunk his head and walked out of the room with his cloak on, Li Ziqiu couldn't get used to his appearance, and kicked him, "You stand up straight, what are you afraid of?" Tashi wrapped his cloak tightly around him, and said with a crying voice, "King, I am a ghost, not a human, I can't come out in broad daylight, it's not that I want to be like this, I can't control it at all!" ”。

Li Ziqiu scolded, "You have cultivated into a skeleton ghost general, why can't you come out during the day?" You bear-like! Tashi replied in a low voice, "King, only by cultivating into a golden bone can I not be afraid of the sun, I dare to come out if I can't see the sun today, if I am exposed to direct sunlight, I will be finished soon, and I am not a zombie!" ”。“ Get lost! ”。

A little golden light flew out of Li Ziqiu's eyebrows, fell to the ground, and quickly became larger, and Rongyue appeared in front of her in a white dress, "Call me out, what are you doing?" Oh, what is this place? Rongyue glanced at the courtyard, her eyes full of surprise, "Is this the world?" ”。

"Yes, we have come to the world again, this place is called Xudu, a boundary where the underworld and the human world coexist!" "Yes, it's strange that there is such a place", "I know you're curious, let's go out!" ”。“ Then I'll change my clothes first, and I'll go out in a white dress in the autumn, and others will think I'm insane! ”。“ Then I'll change it too! If someone else thinks of me as a psychopath, if you are with me, you will definitely be a psychopath! "You're the psychopath, cluck! Rongyue laughed.

Tashi hid at the entrance of the main hall, looked at the two people walking out of the courtyard, and shouted, "Close the door!" The two heavy wooden doors in the small courtyard slammed back! Startled Tashi, he muttered, "You know the wind and snow!" I found a futon and sat down and waited for the two to come back.
