Dead City!

The city of vain death is a city created in hell by the Bodhisattva King of the Earth for the ghosts who died by the unjustified disaster, and its place is located on the right side of the palace of the Great Emperor of Hell Fengdu, adjacent to the Nai He Bridge and the Blood Basin Bitter Realm, and the person in charge of the city is the sixth of the ten halls of Yama, King Bian Cheng.

Its nature is similar to that of a prison where criminals are held in the sun.

For example, if a person whose life is destined to end at the age of 90, but accidentally dies early at the age of 40, he will be imprisoned in the city of the dead until he is 90 years old.

During this period, the souls of the dead imprisoned in the city were able to live like the people of the Yang world, and they were able to go to the city to see if their murderers had received their due retribution, but their personal freedom would be strictly controlled, and they could neither receive the dead paper and paper offerings burned by their relatives and friends to the deceased, nor could they return to the Yang world to receive offerings from their relatives on the Midyear Festival, like other dead souls.

All the money and goods burned to these souls will be temporarily deposited in the possession of the Venerable Muren, who assists the Jizo King Bodhisattva, until the souls of the dead see that their murderers have received their due retribution, and their resentment is comforted, and they propose to be released from the prisons of the temples, which means that the souls can only be handed over after the expiration of their imprisonment in the city of vain, and then they will be reincarnated according to their good and evil during their lifetime, or according to their rewards or punishments.

In the underworld, except for some ghosts who are detained in the city of vain death, the other administrators in the underworld's Hades, judges, and soul envoys all have their own mansions, which are not much different from the mortal world.

Inside a tall mansion.

The sixth hall of the underworld, the king of Yama, Bian Cheng, was discussing something with Cui Yu, the judge of the Yin Law Division, the head of the four major judges.

Cui Yu is about forty years old, he holds the book of life and death of yin and yang in his left hand, and the pen of the soul judge in his right hand, and he always looks like an iron-faced and selfless businessman.

But today he is sad!

"Bian Cheng Yan Jun, in recent years, there have been more and more people who have died in vain in the world, and the city of vain death is almost closed!" Cui Yu sighed.

Bian Cheng Yan Jun also had a sad face, and he said: "Now that the human world is plagued by demons, ghosts are rampant, and more and more people are dying in vain, it is not a way to go on like this!" ”

Cui Yu said: "A hundred years ago, since the Heavenly Court, Buddhism and Taoism, after the inexplicable disappearance, and the life and death of the immortals are unknown, our mana has dropped greatly, and the affairs of the human world, even if we want to take care of it, we can't care about it!" ”

Bian Cheng Yan Jun said: "Now the demons in the human world are becoming more and more rampant under the leadership of the four demon kings, and the most hateful is the old demon of Montenegro, this demon is not satisfied with the world, and actually opened up the underworld, and now these ghosts and monsters know that the lord of the dead city is the old demon of the Black Mountain, but they forget that the king of my ten halls of Hades is the lord of the underworld!" ”

Cui Yu said: "The demonic power of this old demon of the Black Mountain has reached the late stage of the Jie Dan, and only King Qin Guang and his strength are equal in the underworld, we have all degraded to the middle stage of the Dan, and we can only endure this demon doing evil in the underworld!" ”

Bian Cheng Yan Jun said: "I heard that the centipede spirit in the human world actually dared to pretend to be the Buddha, it is simply lawless!" ”

The two sighed again and again, but is there a good way, the four demon kings are in the same breath, and it is not something that can be solved by getting rid of an old demon of Montenegro.

There are ten halls of Hades in the underworld, they are all canonized by the Heavenly Court, they belong to the Heavenly Dao Gods, and all their mana comes from the Heavenly Court, and their mana has dropped by eighty percent after the Heavenly Court disappears!

This is especially true in the human world, like those city gods, mountain gods, and gentry who were all clean officials, good officials, or gentry who did good deeds during their lifetimes, and were given the land of city gods after their deaths.

After the disappearance of the Heavenly Court, they will be powerful, otherwise the human realm will not let those demons wreak havoc.

Take Cui Yu as an example, he was originally an honest and honest official, who did a lot of good things for the people, and only became a judge of the underworld after his death, and his mana was given by heaven.

After the two drank tea for a while, Bian Cheng Yan Jun said: "Brother Cui, the old demon of Montenegro has sent a matchmaker to propose to the little girl, and this matter must not be promised to him." ”

Cui Yu said: "Well, this matter is not only about Yan Jun, but also about the dignity of the entire underworld, so I will contact you Yan Jun and see if they have any feasible methods!" ”

Bian Cheng Yan Jun sighed: "That's all it can be!" ”

。。。。。。

Chen Hao and Yan Chixia directly followed the breath of the old demon of Montenegro to the city of death, there were many ghosts in the city, but each of them had a sad face and no joy.

The two of them walked on the streets, like invisible people, no ghosts can be seen in the human world, but no ghosts can be seen in the underworld.

"Fellow Daoist, this vain city is no wonder a prison for people who died in vain, it is completely different from the human world, and there is no smile at all." Yan Chixia sighed.

Chen Hao said with a smile: "There are ghosts who have died unjustly, and it is strange to have laughter!" ”

Yan Chixia nodded and said, "It is said that this old demon of Black Mountain has proclaimed himself the lord of the city of vain death, let's go to the city lord's mansion!" ”

Chen Hao said: "That's right, the old demon of Montenegro must be removed." ”

The two of them said and hurried all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, but as they were walking, they saw a pair of Yin soldiers appear in front of them, there were dozens of people, they were guarding this huge official sedan chair, and walked towards Chen Hao and them.

The two of them didn't take it seriously, they were like invisible ones in the underworld, even if they passed through the Yin soldiers, they might not be able to find it.

"Stop!" At this moment, a neutral voice suddenly came from the arrogance.

Hearing that voice, the Yin soldiers immediately stopped, not daring to disobey the orders of the arrogant people.

After a while, the voice sounded again: "You guys go back first, the official still has something to deal with!" ”

The officers and soldiers, like puppets, heard the order and left, leaving only the spacious palanquin on the street.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties walked down in Jiaozhong, he looked very majestic, and Chen Hao found that his mana was also very powerful, at least not under Yan Chixia.

"Two fellow Daoists, why do you want to come to the underworld?" The man asked with a smile after glancing in the direction where Chen Hao and Yan Chixia were standing.

After Chen Hao and Yan Chixia heard this person's voice, they knew that his mana was profound, and naturally knew that he could see the two of them.

The so-called ghosts can't be seen in the world, and ghosts in the underworld can't see people, and it's only for ordinary people and ghosts with low strength that they can be said to be, like people with high mana, they can see through it at a glance.

"Under the Xia, Chen Hao and Brother Yan have something to do when they come to the underworld, dare to ask Your Excellency?" Chen Hao asked, but Yan Chixia did not speak.

The man was very polite to them, and said with a smile: "Cui Yu, the judge of the Xia Nai Prefecture, since he is a Taoist friend from the human world, he is here to be warmly entertained, and please go with me to drink a few glasses of water and wine." ”

"Cui Yu?"

The two of them saw the horror in each other's eyes, this Cui Yu can be said to be famous in the yang world, even in the earth world where Chen Hao is located, it is also a statement.
