Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Hell of Tongue Pulling
As soon as I approached the entrance to the first layer of hell, I heard a creepy ghost cry and scream. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Once a mother and daughter came to the village to visit relatives. The old one was a matchmaker, and her daughter wanted to recruit him as a husband when she saw her father-in-law at the entrance of the village. So the old matchmaker brought a lot of bacon and sausages to the Hades Temple to say goodbye to her daughter. She praised her daughter for being very beautiful and virtuous.
Changsheng hid behind the statue of Hades and eavesdropped, and when the matchmaker left, he ran to tell Tian Bao about it, and Tian Bao said that he didn't believe that there was such a beautiful girl, so he pulled her to peek.
They hid outside the window and heard the two mothers and daughters talking. The old matchmaker's daughter was not as beautiful as she had boasted, with a sallow face and a lame leg. The daughter of the old matchmaker was worried that her stepfather would dislike her if he saw her true face.
The old matchmaker relieved her daughter, saying that everything she had matched before had been done like this, and she had picked good words and good words to praise, and it was useless to regret it when she had already done the rice in the hall.
When Tian Bao heard this, he wanted to pull her back and tell her father-in-law that this matchmaker was uneasy and kind, and she was a bad person. But when he saw that the old matchmaker was talking happily, he suddenly fainted. As soon as he fell into a coma, he was in a coma for two days, and when he woke up, his speech became unclear.
The old people in the village said that she was dragged to the underworld and had her tongue pulled.
The old matchmaker was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, and before she could get her body up, she left with her daughter. I didn't even come to take the cured meat that was left in their temple.
She asked her father-in-law what tongue pulling was done, and her father-in-law said that those who lied and deceived people before they were alive will have their tongues plucked out when they die and go to hell. This layer is based on 3,750 years in the human world, and it is enough to serve 10,000 years in prison.
The most pitiful thing is to taste such a sore spot again and again. The tongues of those sinful spirits are not plucked out at once, but they can be pulled very long, and then they are pulled, and they are pulled a little bit every day, and a little bit every day......
Therefore, her father-in-law told her that people must not lie at will, otherwise even if Yang Shou temporarily escaped back to the Yang world, she would continue to go back to be tortured after death.
At that time, she didn't understand very well, but she was very happy in those days, because there was lap-mei to eat every day...... Changsheng swallowed his saliva and took several breaths before he and Sima Luming got out of the entrance.
The ghost's cry was louder and clearer.
A large fence appeared in front of him, and those screams were floating out from behind the fence, and Changsheng did not dare to look inside, for fear that those evil spirits were being tortured inside, and saw the bloody scene of the execution of the ghosts with iron tongs.
There was a ghost who carried a bamboo basket out from behind the fence, the bamboo basket was made of bamboo strips, the gap between the warp and weft was not small, and the liquid flowed out of the gap and dripped on the ground, and the ghost stepped on the liquid barefoot, and printed footprints with only three toes on the ground.
There was a bearded man sitting next to him, covering the bowl with a saucer and shaking it vigorously in his hand. The onicha carried the basket to the bearded man and reported the number of those who had just been tortured.
The bearded man first lifted the plate and glanced into the bowl. Then he put the dishes aside, checked the number of contents in the basket, took a booklet from the wall, and drew a pen on it.
"Come with me." The bearded man said.
The ghost almost cried with a sad face, "Lu sentenced you to spare the small one, this month's expenses are large, and the small salary is only a little left." In order to show that he was not lying, the ghost quickly took out the only money he had and showed it to the judge.
The judge said angrily, "How do you use the money one or two, why every time I call you to bet with me, you all say that there is no salary, go and go, don't be an eyesore." ”
When the onicha heard that the judge told him to leave, he hurriedly went to dump the contents of the bamboo basket into the corner, just waiting for another onicha to clean it up later.
When Changsheng saw what he poured, she only felt a sour taste coming up from her throat, she had only eaten persimmons to satisfy her hunger, and then she vomited it out and there was nothing in her stomach.
"Who's sneaking around out there!" The judge's voice was as loud as thunder, deafening, so startled that the bamboo basket in the ghost's hand kept shaking. Sima Luming saw that he couldn't hide it, so he simply didn't hide it. Changsheng didn't have an idea, so he walked out after him.
The judge looked at the two of them, turned over slightly with a small movement, and subconsciously adjusted the mask. Sima Luming said, "The two of us have just gone to the underworld, so we made a mistake. ”
The judge obviously didn't believe it, "This underworld is not something that can be walked casually, there should be a ghost to lead the way, have you been to the Senluo Temple to be tried?" What is the criminal responsibility? Sin of the tongue or murder**? What hell do you go to? Don't hide it, if you aton for your sins a moment earlier, you can enter reincarnation a moment earlier, and maybe you can be a human again. ”
The judge thought that they were the criminals who had come to be punished, and he was afraid of the criminal law in front of them.
Sima Luming shook his head, "It's true that I just came down, and I haven't been to Senluo Palace." ”
"If these two men come to be tortured, they should be held in shackles and shackles." But Lu judged you to look at their hands and feet, not wearing shackles. ”
If a person does not pay attention, catches the wrong one, and is sharpened by a stone mill and sawed with a knife, it is wronged, and all the ghosts on duty today are afraid that they will be affected.
The judge asked, "Since you have not yet been punished, who brought you here?" ”
Sima Luming glanced at the bowl that the judge had just shaken in his hand, and it turned out to be three dice in it, and he remembered that night in the imperial capital Jiang Qu and Lu Youzhao's worship hall, it seemed that the Yaksha who came to hook the soul said that since the death of a certain ghost, no ghost dared to gamble with the judge.
Is this judge a good gambler?
Sima Luming said, "We don't know how long we have to stay here before we can be reincarnated, and we want to see if there is a casino here like the human world, so we will look around somehow, and we will be separated from the ghosts who hook the soul as we walk." ”
It was the first time Changsheng had heard Sima Luming tell a lie, and it was still such a long lie. Although the tone is still cold, there are no ups and downs. But she saw the judge's eyes light up.
The ghost said with a smile, "People are dead, and they don't forget to gamble, it seems that eighty percent of them were also gamblers before they died." ”
"It is precisely because of good gambling that I gambled for five days and five nights in the casino in the world before I lost my breath."
The judge listened to Sima Luming's words, turned to ask Changsheng, "Are you too?" ”
Sima Luming was still able to remain calm when he heard the terrible cry of the tortured ghost behind the fence, not like Changsheng thinking that he had lied, whether he would be punished in the future, and maybe he would have to cut his tongue.
She thought that her junior brother was lying, and he must have tried to help them get out of trouble. Pushing everything to her junior brother, it would be too cunning for her to say nothing. Although Changsheng was afraid, she had no choice but to admit her mistake to Yan Wuming in her heart, she lied this time and promised never to say it again.
Sima Luming looked at her, Changsheng swallowed his saliva, glad that he was wearing a mask, these ghosts couldn't see her expression, "Well, I died after five days of gambling." ”
The ghost did what he liked and suggested to the judge, "Didn't you just say that your hands are itchy, you can just bet with them." ”
The judge was obviously very interested in this proposal, but after thinking for a while, he hesitated, "No, this official is right." ”
The ghost almost thought about it, he couldn't help but itch his hands just now, and he changed the dice to shake, if he didn't let him get addicted, maybe he would have to pull them to gamble in a few days.
The ghost laughed, "No one dares to break into this tongue-pulling hell, and there is no way to go wrong." You don't have to worry about anything else, just worry about your excellent gambling skills, and whether they bring enough money to gamble and lose. ”
Money? Changsheng is worried, does the original underworld have to gamble money? Where did she go to find the money to make a gambling book?
The little monkey slipped to the ghost and took out the money from his pocket, the ghost was gloating and thinking that the two ghosts were stolen without paying attention, the monkey gave the money to Sima Luming, and stood up like that and took the initiative to rub Sima Luming's hand with his head, the corners of Sima Luming's mouth were slightly upturned, and he touched its head in praise, and then calmly pretended that the money was taken out of his sleeve.
The judge's gambling heart was completely provoked, thinking about it, he would bet on two small games, and if he had played enough, he would send these two ghosts wherever he wanted, and he had never been to Senluo Hall for a while and couldn't be reborn, so he couldn't wait long, "What will you bet on?" The judge asked, "Will the dominoes be?" ”
Changsheng has never been exposed to gambling at all, she doesn't know anything, she doesn't even know what dominoes are, whether they are round or flat.
Sima Lu said, "Yes." "Many people use dominoes as gambling equipment, but many large families like it, just for game entertainment.
The judge conjures up a deck of dominoes. There are thirty-two sheets in total, rectangular in shape. Two cards were given to each of them, and Changsheng saw Sima Luming pick it up as if he was exchanging the order in which the cards were placed, and after arranging them, he put the cards back on the table.
Changsheng also picked it up and squinted at it, although she didn't know what these cards were like. The back of the card is all white, and the front is engraved with many dots, which is quite comfortable to the touch.
The ghost laughed, "I have let you two see good things, but this is the grinding of the neck bones of thirty-two great sinners." ”
Human Bone ...... Changsheng had a bitter face, and instantly felt that the cards in his hand weighed a thousand pounds, and he almost wanted to throw the cards away, but when he saw that the judge happened to be looking at her, she could only slowly put the cards back on the table.
The judge watched their looks to determine whether they had good or bad cards, and he looked at his cards with great confidence and showed them them.
Changsheng saw him flip the cards, and he didn't understand the rules of gambling, thinking that he would open the cards after squinting at them, so he followed the flip cards, and the judge's two cards were red two points, adding up to four points. This is called Shuangdi, which is already the third biggest card, and he was about to be proud of his good luck today, but he saw the deck of cards of Changsheng.
Red six, white six, twelve, the two cards are the same, adding up to a total of twenty-four points. The judge blew his beard and glared and threw the cards directly, shouting again without even looking at Sima Luming's cards.
Changsheng was confused, and Sima Luming explained in a low voice, "The biggest number of points in the dominoes is six, and you take two cards, which is called Shuangtian, which is just bigger than his card." ”
Even Sima Luming didn't expect Changsheng's luck to be like this, and he touched a big card at the beginning.
I played it several times in a row, and it was strange to say that she got these two six-point cards every time. Sima Luming's cards didn't have a chance to see the light of day, and every time the judge saw that Changsheng's cards were bigger than his, he directly threw them and reshuffled them. His face was getting worse and worse, and by the twenty-seventh time, he hadn't won a single time after playing so many times, and finally broke out.
