Chapter 48: The Exiled City of the Underworld (1)

Where is the underworld? Many people think that it is underground, but in ancient legends it is in the north, so it is said that "the living face south, and the dead head north". After death, the soul goes to the north, and after crossing the high Weiyu Mountain, it reaches the underworld. Later generations said that in Fengdu City, in fact, they can be understood as different entrances to the underworld.

After the person dies, the commissioner of the Soul Society comes to lead the soul to the underworld. In Eastern Buddhism, these seductive messengers are called "black and white impermanence", while most Western countries refer to them as "Grim Reaper"

It is not uncommon for people to enter the underworld after death, and there are countless books throughout the ages that have described it.

But there are very few examples of living people entering this kingdom of death.

When Sixteen Nights took Broken Moon and Peacock and used the "Netherworld Dao", a spell dedicated to the underworld, to take them into the underworld, I don't know if this is a precedent for living people to enter the Netherworld.

"Huh?" Broken Moon was in the blue sky, and what he saw was the houses below.

Is this the underworld?

There is no imaginary horror, no imaginary crying of unjust souls, and no imaginary black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face.

It's exactly the same as the world he lives in.

Surprised, he immediately remembered that he was still in the sky at the moment, nearly a hundred meters from the ground.

Fortunately, his hand was holding the peacock and the sixteen nights, otherwise, he would have fallen long ago.

Flying in the sky, looking at the crowd of people walking below, one building after another, slowly approaching oneself, as the line of sight grows from small to large, it is also a pleasing thing for the eye.

After about a minute, the three of them slowly descended into the crowd, and they landed on a long street with all kinds of vendors, buying and selling all kinds of goods from their stalls loudly.

Broken Moon pursed her lips and said, "This is the same as my world!" ”

Sixteen Nights smiled and didn't speak.

The peacock was on the shoulders of the broken moon, and the three of them walked on the long street, looking quite leisurely. But Broken Moon found that the people on the street looked at them a little strangely.

Broken Moon smiled in her heart. Dark Joy: Hehe, they must have seen us slowly flying down from the sky, and they felt strange, that's for sure, Uncle Ben is still alive, but you are dead, I have a fundamental difference from you. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a smug look, turned his head to look at the peacock and smiled: "Peacock, I still have some money in my pocket, I don't know if I can use it here Hahaha, guess if I use the yuan in the present world to buy their goods, will they be surprised by me!" ”

The peacock smiled and didn't speak.

In fact, he only spent three years in this place in his ignorant childhood, and then he was sent to the present world, so he didn't have any impression of this place, plus with such a good "tour guide" for Sixteen Nights, he didn't need to introduce anything to Broken Moon at all!

Sure enough, after listening to Broken Moon's words, Sixteen Nights said lightly: "You'd better dispel this idea, you have to remember that we are entering the underworld like this now, for the laws of the underworld, we are lawbreakers, it's okay for me and Peacock to have a pass, but it's you, but you have to remember your identity carefully, you are still a "stowaway" now."

"What!" Broken Moon's original mentality of feeling superior to others was suddenly dissipated by a few words from Sixteen Nights.

Sixteen Nights watched the rapid change in the expression on Broken Moon's face, and couldn't help but "giggle" and laughed: "I didn't scare you, before the approval of King Jizo, even if our captain agreed, you are still a stowaway, hehe." ”

Broken Moon's mood now is like being deceived into a thief ship, and her expression is very ugly.

Peacock patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, since I brought you here, I must have helped you make plans, this realm, Sixteen Nights is the most familiar, you don't have to worry about anything happening!" ”

"Then you're wrong, Peacock!" Sixteen Nights said as he walked: "This realm is more than a hundred miles away from the realm under the jurisdiction of our detective team, this is called Exile City!" ”

"Exile City?" Broken Yueqi asked: "What is the city of exile, by the way, I saw what is recorded in the book, why haven't I seen it?" Not even black and white, bull head and horse face. ”

"So you're a stowaway!" Sixteen Nights said lightly: "Do you think that with your current status, you can swagger around the underworld like a sightseeing trip?" If that's the case, it's okay, I guarantee you'll be arrested and put on trial in less than half an hour! ”

Broken Moon said disdainfully: "Hmph, do you want to arrest me, I'm afraid it's not so easy, even if you are caught, it's a big deal to send me back to the present world." ”

Sixteen Nights tilted his head and said: "It seems that you are really a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, my sister will tell you some things about the underworld, so that your heart is a little prepared." I tell you that the rules of the underworld, generally speaking, if you catch a "stowaway" who sneaks into the underworld, according to the rules of the underworld, your soul will be taken out and thrown into the infernal hell to be transformed. The general renovation cycle is ten years, and then it is put into the exiled city. ”

"Oh?" Broken Moon was startled, and secretly complained in her heart, if she was caught, she would lose her life, not to mention, and be sent to the hell full of horror and torture to be locked up for ten years, and finally be put here This consequence is something I never expected, God, I have only lived in this world for ten years, is it going to be over like this? Hey, I should have thought that a big living person would come to a country full of dead ghosts, and what good fruit would he eat. I really regret believing the peacock's nonsense and coming here with him.

It has only been less than half an hour since he came to the underworld, and Broken Moon's heart is already remorseful.

Of course, the peacock sensed the change in Broken Moon's mind, and immediately interrupted Sixteen Night's words, and said in a reproachful tone: "What are you suing him for, he has just arrived here, how can he receive these thoughts all at once." After speaking, he said softly to Broken Moon: "Since I brought you here, I have already made plans for you, so you don't need to worry." ”

"Cut!" Broken Moon complained bitterly in her heart, but she said unconvinced: "I didn't take it to heart at all, I'm a big living person, am I still afraid that these dead ghosts won't succeed!" ”

Sixteen nights were blamed by peacocks, a little guilty in her heart, and secretly blamed herself, she shouldn't scare Broken Moon, in fact, these punishment laws for "stowaways" who sneaked into the underworld are indeed true, but she has already discussed it with the captain and has already made plans for Broken Moon.

She didn't care about these tongues with Broken Moon, but turned to the point and said: "Okay, let me introduce you to the situation in the underworld, the Nai He Bridge you just talked about, black and white impermanence, is indeed true." But you don't see it, and it's not surprising, first, you are not an undead, you can't go through this, and second, you are a living person, and you will not be able to enter Fengdu City in such a righteous and bright way. And Peacock and I took you to the exiled city, three hundred miles away from the outskirts of Fengdu City, the main city of the underworld, where there are few underworld detectives in the underworld detective department,"

Broken Moon understood a little in her heart, and in order to make herself more clear, she asked, "What kind of people are the undead here?" And what do you mean by the Underworld Detective Division? What kind of place is the underworld? ”

Peacock smiled: "You asked three questions at once, even if you tell you all in the sixteenth night, you can't remember!" ”

Sixteen Ye nodded and said, "When you arrive at a place, if you can figure out the environment of this place, it will be a bad thing for yourself." Okay, I'll answer your questions one by one, first of all, the Underworld Detective Division refers to a group of law enforcement officers who uphold the laws of the underworld, and in the underworld they call these people the underworld detectives. But occasionally, there will be people who go to the present world to carry out special tasks, just like the peacock, which is the only underworld detective who has been sent to the present world to carry out special tasks as a living being."

Broken Moon looked at the peacock, and a subtle look of reverence flashed in her eyes.

Sixteen Nights continued: "The Underworld Detective Punishment Ten Squad. Each team has a captain who manages their respective squad. The entire Underworld Detective Division is led by King Jizo and the Chief. Each team has a hundred underworld detectives. Each team is divided into 1-100 rank symbol armbands! The top 10 detectives are equipped with detective assistants! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to himself and said, "Just like my sister, I am the detective assistant in the third team of the underworld detective where the peacock is located!" ”

As she walked, she looked at the peacock and praised: "In this way, the peacock is the top ten detective in the third detective team, ah, what an excellent man." ”

Peacock laughed and said proudly: "It seems that today is the best man in your eyes since you were born, haha, don't worship me too much, I'm a very low-key man!" ”

Sixteen Nights sighed in his heart: You are also called low-key, that is really a hell of a life!

Broken Moon clapped his hands and smiled: "Well, I didn't expect that on the first day I came here, I found my goal here, hmph, as soon as I enter the third detective team of the underworld, I will challenge you seniors and become the youngest man in history and the first man in the detective team!" ”

Seeing that after he finished speaking, he was full of confidence, and Sixteen Nights and Peacock almost fell to the ground without being startled by his words.

Sixteen Night pursed his mouth and said, "I really can't stand it, how did you and Thor teach this child."

After a while, he said angrily: "Do you still want to listen to me finish explaining the situation in the underworld?" ”

The two nodded at the same time, listening to her continue to introduce the situation of this mysterious realm of the undead with eager eyes. The three of them said as they strolled down the long street of the exiled city.
