This time I came to the ghost gate, and I finally had a chance to go in and take a good look.

When I was a dart master before, every time I came with a caravan, I had to unload the goods outside the customs and then turn back. But this time, my identity has changed to a Yin soldier, and I am a member of the underworld, so I can naturally enter. After checking the papers, the gatekeeper who had recruited us brought in our two hundred recruits through the left gate.

The left gate of the ghost gate is the military gate, and only the Yin army can walk, ensuring that the entry and exit are smooth when the underworld deploys troops. The right gate is a miscellaneous gate, and the Yin cha, ghost servants, and some chartered caravans enter and exit through the right gate. The middle gate is always closed, and it is rare to open it once only when the king of Yama travels.

After entering the Ghost Gate, I found that behind the huge city wall was a large square, thick fog, very cold, and limited visibility. These mist are mixed with water vapor and heavy yin qi, if it weren't for the fact that most of the yin cultivation physique is cold-resistant, ordinary people will definitely not be able to stand it when they come.

The source of the water vapor and yin qi was at the end of the square, where a wide underground river was flowing towards the Ghost Gate, but it disappeared before reaching the square. Originally, the square was built on a cliff, across the cliff from the underground river, where the river flows into a deep valley and rises from the bottom of the mist. There is a fence on the edge of the cliff, and the river stretches forward for many miles.

This river is the famous Lethe River!

The fog was so heavy that it was impossible to see what was going on at the source of the Lechuan River. We recruits didn't dare to run around as soon as we came in, so we could only stand in the line and wait for the next order.

However, there is also a mysterious altar on the right side of the Ghost Gate Pass Square, surrounded by several huge stone pillars, which are engraved with strange and changeable runes, and a huge array is also drawn on the altar.

"What's that?" Most of the recruits had never entered the ghost gate, so they were very curious, so they couldn't help but start whispering.

There were also people in the team who had seen it, so they proudly swaggered: "That's the leading division!" ”

"Usher?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's where the ghosts that came to the underworld to be reincarnated came from?"

"That's right!"

"What about the ghost? Why haven't you seen it? ”

"Hey, don't worry! The time of reincarnation of each ghost is not fixed, and I heard that sometimes there is not one within a quarter of an hour, but sometimes they come in succession, as if they are doing tricks! ”

As he spoke, the altar that led to the priest really lit up. After a dazzling green light flashed, a new ghost with a faint resentment suddenly appeared on the altar. This should be the ghost who came to reincarnate, it suddenly appeared, and it didn't know where it was, so it was stunned there. But before it could come to its senses, two yin cha went up, put a talisman on it, and dragged it away with a hard pull.

The ghost screamed and hurriedly shouted injustice. But Yin Cha didn't pay attention to it, but scolded loudly, which probably means: "Since you have come to the underworld, you must be honest, and hurry up with us to the front to line up and wait for reincarnation." If you dare to resist or disobey the rules, hehe, all kinds of hellish torture are waiting for you at any time! ”

The front just dragged one away, and the back led to the division and "whoosh!" Sou! Sou! "Teleported three reincarnated ghosts in a row. Sure enough, there was no pattern to this thing, and the altar was filled with ghosts one moment, and the next it became empty again.

It's the first time I've seen such a formation, and I can conjure a ghost out of thin air, so I was a little surprised, so I asked others. There is a recruit named Wang Qi in the team, who has been in the Guanwaiji for two years, and he is quite familiar with the situation in the underworld, and he likes to be in the limelight, so he acts as a "tour guide" for others.

"The altar in this leading division is painted with a kind of teleportation array, of course, it can only teleport the virtual body of ghosts, but not large living people." Wang Qi said, "It is said that the Yin Cha of the Receiving Division will go to the yang world with the Receiving Array Flag in hand. Wherever the array flag goes, the newly dead ghosts of the surrounding ten miles and eight towns will teleport here on their own. ”

"What about the souls of the Buddhas and Taoists?" Someone asked.

"It's flying here, too."

"Isn't it also the Yin Difference of collecting Wandering Spirits and Wild Ghosts in the Yang Realm to Attract Division?"

"Exactly."

"And who is the head of this leading division?"

"Hey, you don't even know that? Naturally, it's the flail and the lock! ”

"Master Flails and Master Suo?"

When Wang Qi said this, he lowered his voice: "Master Flail and Master Suo are honorific titles, which refer to black and white impermanence!" Impermanence is an official position, but the sculptures of these two in the Yangjian City God Temple are generally carved into the appearance of ghosts with high hats and long tongues, one holding a flail and the other holding a lock, so the people call them: 'Master of the Flails' and 'Lord Suo'. The yin in the underworld has always been called that, so you should follow the customs! ”

"Oh, got it!"

In addition to the Receiving Division, Wang Qi also briefly introduced the structure of other places in the underworld. The entire dungeon was built in a long underground cavern, which is said to be three times larger than Zuoqiu Castle. In the middle of the underworld is the Lechuan River, which is divided into the left and right banks, the left bank is the Yin Cha, the Yin army's garrison and a should be the official facilities, and the right bank is the path of the reincarnation ghosts lining up, also known as Huangquan Road.

The reincarnated ghosts lined up along the Huangquan Road along the Lechuan River, and had to go all the way to the Division of Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil at the end of the right bank. Wei Zheng is in charge of the Department of Rewarding the Good, and Zhong Kui is in charge of the Department of Punishing the Evil, judging according to what the ghosts did before their deaths, rewarding the good and punishing the evil.

At the end of the left bank are the Chacha Division and the Yin Law Division, which are respectively in charge of Lu Zhidao and Cui Yu. The Investigation Department is a department dedicated to Yin cultivation, which is equivalent to the Imperial Historical Observatory in ancient times, or the current procuratorate. And the Yin Law Division is in charge of Yin Law, underworld documents, and some chores in the underworld.

Among the four divisions, it seems that the responsibilities of the Yin Law Division are the lightest, but the prefecture documents include the most important books of life and death. It is a strange book that records life and death in the world, and everyone's yin and yang life are just a number on it, and you can make a decision between life and death with a stroke of a pen! That's why Cui Yu, the main bookkeeper, has so much power, and he is privately called "the second person in the underworld"!

Between the two sides of the four divisions by a bridge across the Lechuan River, the bridge deck is wide, like a high platform, is for the hometown platform.

On the other side of Wangxiangtai is the Yin Si Stream, a waterfall gushes out of the cave wall, falls into the waterhole below and rises up bursts of mist, it is a fog formed by the thick yin qi, it is said that the ghosts can look back on their lives by looking at the mirage generated by the mist on the waterhole, so it is called Wangxiangtai.

There is another small bridge on the Wangxiang platform that connects to a small cave next to the Yin Si Stream. The bridge is the Nai He Bridge, and inside the cave is the reincarnation division. In charge of the Reincarnation Division is Meng Po, who is not simply responsible for making soup and drinking for the reincarnated ghosts, but also has to decide whether they should be put into the human Dao or the animal Dao according to the judgment of the Reward and Punishment Division.

Just when Wang Qi was gushing about the situation of the prefecture, there were some seemingly unusual situations in the leading division opposite.

"Stand still! Hurry up and stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

"What are you all huddled together? Don't you know how to line up? ”

"Babble! How dare you, unlucky devil, talk back? See if I don't smack you! ”

More than a dozen yin chasers hurriedly stuffed the reincarnated ghosts who had just come down from the altar into the front team, shouting and screaming, and the leather whips and killing rods in their hands fell from time to time. The ghosts who were beaten naturally cried out in pain, and some of the dissatisfied ones wanted to reason with the gangsters, but they were beaten even harder.

At the same time, the altar was still "whoosh!" Sou! Sou! "It's like hail, you can blow up a ghost when you hit the ground. It seems that there are too many ghosts who come to reincarnate at this time, and they are too dense, and they are piled up, and even the yin who is responsible for the reception is not enough, and the order is a little chaotic.

"What are you doing, what are you all doing here, what are these stupid ghosts doing here? Why don't you hurry up and get them to the front and get in line? A tall, thin man in an all-white official uniform and a tall hat stepped out of the room behind the altar and shouted a shout. His dress and style are completely different from those of those cultivators, and he is obviously a master who can speak.

One of them hurriedly ran over, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Master Suo, it's not that the little ones are lazy, but the people in front of Ma Ye are cleaning up the queue, saying that they have no time to take over for the time being." It just so happened that these ghosts were piling up to be reincarnated, so they were blocked! ”

Oh, this person known as "Suo Ye" must be Bai Impermanence! He looks like an ordinary Yin cultivator, the legendary story is really unreliable, there are high hats, but the long tongue is nonsense. According to what Wang Qi said, impermanence is actually an official position in the underworld, and whoever is in charge of it is the same!

Bai Wuchang listened to the report of his subordinates, and was still angry, scolding: "Damn! Who to bluff? In the past three days, I have been cleaning up the queue at two ends, I think it is an opportunity to search for the benefits of these dead ghosts, right? ”

"Master Suo is right!" Yin Cha didn't dare to offend any party, so he had to echo: "The ghosts queuing up on Huangquan Road in front of you have always been chaotic, where is there any queue to talk about?" However, if Master Suo and Master Ma's people don't take over, it's not a way for these ghosts to keep blocking here......"

Bai Wuchang scolded a few words, but he was helpless, so he had to go out to negotiate in person. Otherwise, if you block it any further, the altar will be crowded with ghosts who have come to reincarnate, and something big may happen.

When Wang Qi saw this, he snickered at us: "This leading division is in charge of Bai Impermanence every day from the hour to the noon, and the black impermanence is in charge from the noon to the day. But the status of black and white impermanence in the underworld has always been overpowered by the bull head and horse face, so it is nicknamed 'Seventh Master' and 'Eighth Master'! ”

"Why is it called that?"

"You count them, among the prefecture officials, there are four judges in front of these two, plus bull heads and horses, can't they only rank seventh and eighth? In fact, these are the last two in the top level of the prefecture! ”
