After a moment of silence, I found myself on a dirt road, with wasteland as far as the eye could see.

Looking around, it was the same everywhere except this road, there were no signs, and I was at a loss, where was I?

The underworld is no better than the yang, you can't just walk around, otherwise an accident is likely to happen, I don't know the situation, so I can only stand in place.

What makes me even more puzzling is that other people have ghosts and souls, where to go, how to get to me is different, no one accepts me at all.

Just as I was kicking the dust on the ground and bored, a figure finally appeared on one side of the road.

I was overjoyed, I finally met someone, no, I should say that it was a ghost, I have to ask.

It didn't take long for the three ghosts to come to me.

Two men in black coats were escorted by a young man in half-sleeved jeans, the young man was covered in black gas, fierce and vicious, and he didn't look easy to mess with.

"Three big brothers, please wait!" I jumped out and stopped in front of them.

Seeing this, one of them pointed the mourning stick in his hand at me, and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

When I saw that this yin was not good-looking, I suddenly felt a little flustered, girl, was it misunderstood as a robbery?

"Don't get me wrong, I just died, and I came here after I died, I don't know where this is, and I don't know where I'm going." I said with all the bitterness I could, trying to make myself look as pitiful as I could.

"Huh?" The two demons looked at each other, and they both looked curious.

The onicha with the chain asked, "How did you die?"

"Here's the thing......" I pondered, and didn't elaborate, just told them that I had died at the hands of the Descender.

After listening to my narration, the weeping ghost nodded, "I see, you died by accident, and it stands to reason that you need to wait for us to arrest you in the yang world, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself, which saves us trouble." ”

"Huh!?" I have a little pain in the egg, what the hell is arrested, is it possible that I am now in a wanted state, "Two uncles, I am a good person, I have never been a traitor." ”

"Humph! The ghosts who came to the underworld all said that they were good people in their lifetime, and they had their own opinions in front of the judges, but you who have not lived a long time have not yet seen the judges, and you should be glad that you came here directly, instead of staying in the yang world. The chain ghost said strangely.

"This ...... Big brother, did you catch it from the Yang Realm? I asked, pointing to the young man who had been pressed by the two of them.

The young man glared at me viciously, giving me the feeling that he was going to eat me at any moment.

"That's right, he died at the hands of Xiao San after being green, full of resentment, he had already killed four people before he was arrested, in his case, after the life span is exhausted, he will fill in the cause and effect book again, and he will go to the eighteenth layer of hell to walk around." Crying Mourning Stick Ghost Poor said.

I subconsciously took two steps back, distancing myself from the young man.

"Those of you who die unexpectedly are generally very resentful, and staying in the yang world will inevitably harm people's lives, and after harming people, the resentment deepens, and the cycle repeats, and it will be out of control." The crying ghost added another sentence, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.

"It's you, not only do you have no resentment, but how can you come directly to the underworld?" The Chained Ghost asked.

I looked confused, "My lord, I don't know, I'm dead right here." ”

"Well, you can follow us to the city of the dead, just so that the ghost can find you again." Crying Mourning Stick Ghost Poor said.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do now, these two guys are in charge no matter how bad they are, and it's always right to listen to them, so I followed them to the so-called city of the dead.

Curious, I asked them a lot about the underworld, maybe because they were more curious about me, or because they were bored at work, and the two of them talked a lot about it, which gave me a new understanding of the underworld.

At this time, the road under our feet is called the Road of No Return, which is one of the three roads of the underworld, and there are also Fugui Avenue, Human Road, and Huangquan Road.

A little further down this road will take you to the City of the Dead, where I am going.

The so-called vain death refers to other forms of death other than death, such as suicide, natural disasters, wars, car accidents, victimization, etc.

The city of vain death is the place where these ghosts are stored in the underworld, and there is no vain city in the underworld, and later the king of Jizo Bodhisattva created the city with great divine powers for the ghosts who died of unjustified disasters.

The city of vain death is located on the east side of Fengdu, adjacent to the Nai He Bridge, the Heart Death Forest, the Blood Basin Bitter Realm, the Bi Mountain, the Knife Mountain, the Broken Soul Valley, and the Evil Dog Village, and belongs to the jurisdiction of the sixth hall of the ten halls of Yama, King Bian Cheng.

The souls of those who died in vain need to remain in the city until the end of their destined life.

For example, if Passerby A is destined to die at the age of 100, but he chokes to death by eating feces at the age of 10, his soul will be found by the ghosts of the underworld and brought to the city of vain death, where he will be released after 90 years of death.

However, the time in the underworld and the flow rate in the yang world are not the same, and one year in the yang world is equal to ten years in the underworld.

It is conceivable that passer-by A, who choked to death by eating feces, would have to stay in the city of death for a full 900 years before he could be judged in the underworld and determine whether he would be reincarnated directly or go to hell to suffer.

The ghost of the dead city can live like a living person, and he can climb the walls, and if he is killed, he can see whether his murderer has suffered retribution.

If it is to die from other causes, then you can only look at the scenery......

Despite this, the ghosts are not free, they cannot leave the city of the dead at all, and they cannot receive the paper money burned to them by their relatives and friends, nor can they eat sacrifices.

Even on festivals such as the Midyear Festival and the Chung Yeung Festival, they cannot return to the Yang world to receive offerings.

All of their money and belongings will be temporarily stored at the Mulian Venerable's place, and they will be able to enjoy them all when they reach the end of their lives.

Another theory is that if they are framed and die, they will be able to leave the city of death in advance after witnessing the retribution of their enemies and being sent to hell to suffer.

In fact, there is an even more special way, there is a listening station in the city of vain, in which there are great monks chanting sutras day and night, using the Dharma to transcend these souls, and the king of Jizo Bodhisattva will occasionally perform the transcendence for them himself.

Unfortunately, not all ghosts have the fate to listen to the scriptures, and Buddhism advises people to be open-minded, which is difficult for ghosts who are full of resentment to accept.

It's like a person walking on the street and being stabbed for no reason, and the person goes to the person who cut him to claim compensation, and then someone advises him to see that it is a truth to forgive.

In addition, not all those who die unexpectedly will be put into the city of vain death, those who are loyal and filial piety, those who sacrificed for the country or those who died in the line of duty, these people either become gods, or become Yin soldiers, or receive good fortune, and will not enter the city of vain death to suffer at all.

As for me, I don't feel any resentment in myself, and it seems that I can only survive until the end of my life.

If the city is full of resentful people, and the environment inside is estimated to be poor, I now hope that my original lifespan will be shorter, so that I can spend hundreds of years less here.

The weeping and mourning stick ghost also persuaded me that it is rare for someone like me to have no grievances, and I can listen to the scriptures more, and maybe one day I will have an epiphany.

I think this is a good idea, when I get to the city of vain, I will be equivalent to a criminal, and I will have to fight for everything that can be commuted, and maybe I will be released one day.

But now I was more curious about how long my sentence was, and in the spirit of asking if I didn't understand, I asked the two ghosts.

However, they said that they were only responsible for arresting and bringing them to justice, and they didn't know how much I should have had in Yangshou, but when I entered the city, someone in charge would help me check it.

The scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed, and a series of mountains appeared before me, and under the towering mountains, a huge city with no end on either side stood there.

The city wall is made of huge gray stone bricks, with a height of about 100 meters, and you can see the city gate made of black iron when you stand here, as well as the plaque on the city gate.

A noisy voice came from inside the city, as if someone was shouting loudly, as if it was invective, and the sound was full of negative emotions and made me very uncomfortable.

The young man, who had not spoken all the way, finally changed his face at this time, and he was unwilling to move forward any further.

The chain ghost raised his eyebrows and began to drag hard, and the weeping stick ghost greeted him with a stick unceremoniously.

I wanted to dissuade them, but after thinking about them, I gave up, this is other people's job, not to mention that I don't have the capital to persuade them, if they are unhappy and give me two sticks, then I can't do it.

After being pumped for a while, the young man could see that he had no ability to resist at all, so he had to take the initiative to move forward.

I was speechless in my heart, big brother, you really have a temper, you don't want to think about it, you have been arrested, and you are not obedient, isn't this looking for your own smoke?

Soon, the four of us arrived at the foot of the city of vain, and then I found that there was a small gate under the huge city gate, and in front of the gate stood two Yin soldiers in iron armor and holding iron axes, and in addition to a female ghost holding a book.

The female ghost is good-looking, but the face is too white, which spoils the beauty.

"Stop!" The two Yin soldiers shouted together.

The four of us stopped in unison, and the weeping ghost almost pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the female ghost.

The female ghost looked at it, and then raised her hand, the piece of paper disappeared, she opened the book and flipped through it, and said: "Cong Jiajun, the original life expectancy is sixty-three, and the accumulation of virtue and evil deeds offset it, and the life expectancy is fifty, and the accidental death at the age of twenty-three is still twenty-seven years."

The female ghost said, and the chain ghost almost untied the iron chain on the young man's body, and the two Yin soldiers at the city gate didn't give the young man a chance to react at all, so they slipped up and opened the door and threw it in.

"What does this guy do?" The female ghost glanced at me and asked.
