[Thanks to the god of ten thousand rewards: Liu Xiong 10,000; Judgment God Tempest 10000】
When they walked out of the exit, they saw a chaotic world in the dark, with no sky and no day, appear in front of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although they really stepped on the real ground under their feet, they could not see the sky, nor could they see the sun, moon and stars, or even the appearance of the earth.
There is no wind, no mountains and rivers, nothing in the material world, there is nothing black everywhere, nothing can be seen except the colored bands of light that permeate everywhere, and people are like walking in the dark air.
In addition to the colored bands of light, the darkness was also filled with the kind of cyan smoke, which was all too familiar in the underworld, everywhere in the dark space, with a little spiritual light in the middle, and a strong smell of sulfur, piercing people's nostrils.
Chen Zhi and the others continued to walk forward in this space, because this distance could not be seen on the map, so they had no direction, but if it was described in the legends of the world, the front of this Lost Soul Hall was the first level of the inner city of Xudu, that is, the palace of the Ten Halls of Yama.
In folklore and mythology, there are various descriptions of the scenes in the underworld, and many legends are unreliable, full of superstition, and some are even ridiculous.
However, in most legends, it is described that the ten Yama palaces in the city of Xudu are known as the Ten Yama Palaces.
Legend has it that when a person reported to the underworld after death, he traveled a long way on the Huangquan Road and finally entered the Xudu, and he had to go through the judgment of the ten halls of Yama before he could decide where he finally went. Each of the ten Yama halls has its own division of labor, and according to the behavior and conduct of the previous life, they enter different Yama halls to be judged by different gods.
There are many legends about these ten halls of Yama, and the most widely circulated among the folk is that these ten halls of Yama are: King Qin Guang, King Chujiang, Emperor Song, King of Wuguan, King of Yama, King Biancheng, King Taishan, King of the City, King of Equality, and King of the Wheel. These ten kings dwelt above the ten houses of hell and presided over judgment in each of them.
Those who do good in life can go to heaven to enjoy happiness, and those who do evil in life will go to hell to suffer. However, many scholars believe that these ten halls of Yama are the words of Buddhism after the introduction of Buddhism into China, and before that, there was only the legend of the Emperor Xudu, the king of the underworld, and there was no talk of the ten halls of Yama.
But as can be seen from many ancient books, in fact, a long, long time ago, in many ancient folk myths, there were descriptions of the ten judgment halls, but the details about them are very vague.
At this time, Chen Zhi couldn't help but think of a description of entering the city of Xudu in those ancient books.
"After entering the ghost city of Xudu, everything is nothing, look up, you can't see the stars, the sun and the moon, look down, you can't see the dust of the land, after coming out of the city gate, there are 10 city gates lined up side by side, which are one hall to ten halls of the Hades Palace, and the entrance of each hall is guarded by Yin soldiers.
Some of them check the height and appearance of the soul, and some record the household registration and deeds of the soul during their lifetime, every link is standardized and orderly, and each ghost is a law enforcement officer, and does not dare to show favoritism. And after entering the palace of Hades, there must not be a word of falsehood, otherwise the torture will not escape. The judgment in the temple is fair and strict, and there is no room for a little personal affection, and all the treacherous and cunning people cannot escape the judgment in the palace, and it is indeed ruthless.
The ghosts who arrived here were respectful, waiting in line for the judgment of the kings of the palaces, not daring to lie, let alone quibble. However, no matter which Hades hall you enter from, the inside of the hall and the eighteenth layer of hell are all connected, and no matter how much the people who did evil in their lives cry and beg for mercy, they will not escape the final punishment and go to the eighteenth layer of hell to suffer. ”
This is an anonymous biography that describes the real scene inside the city, but legends are legends after all, and who knows how much of them corresponds to the truth.
Chen Zhi and the others have been walking in one direction, because the world here is very chaotic and the sense of time and space is very poor, so their direction is very confused, but after they walked in a daze for a while, they saw a bright spot with silver light flashing in the darkness ahead, like a star in the night.
They continued towards the flickering silver light, and found that the bright spot was a small silver door suspended in the darkness, which was fluttering as if it were going to fall at any moment.
They quickly walked over, and it was a small door more than a man wide, like an ordinary doorway, the façade was silver, and shimmered with a blinding light, so that it looked like a star from a distance.
Fat Wei tried it with a knife first, and found that the silver door was a fake image, and it was a space that could be entered at all, Fat Wei first stretched out an arm to go in and probe, and after feeling that there was no danger, he leaned his upper body in, and finally grabbed the door with both arms, and jumped in with a flip up.
After a while, I heard Fat Wei's arm stretch out and make a gesture to everyone to enter.
Everyone lined up, and the ghost knife jumped in after him, and then everyone jumped into the small door one by one.
When Chen Zhi jumped in, he found that this was exactly the same chaotic space as just now, and he still couldn't see the heavens, earth and stars, but the difference was that it was very bright here, with bright piercing eyes, and when they looked up, it turned out that there were two lighting objects like big light bulbs floating in the air, one of which was very bright, and the other was darker.
At the very front of this space, there was a doorway facing them, this doorway was not far from them, the door was still suspended in the air, but the doorway was chaotic and turbid, as if there was a hurricane howling, and the roar was endless, as if a volcano had erupted, which was in stark contrast to the quiet space here.
Listening to the deafening roar in the opposite space, everyone couldn't help but feel a little shaken in their hearts, and a dangerous intuition slowly rose from the most primitive subconscious.
Fat Wei still put the knife in first, tested the situation inside, and then reached in with an arm, his brow furrowed, and finally he poked his head in.
After a while, Fat Wei retracted his head, his face was blown full of sand, and he nodded to Chen Zhi, "The wind and sand inside are very big and a little chaotic, but you can go in and ......."
"Good!" , Chen Zhi nodded at Fat Wei, then looked back at everyone, and said with a faint smile,
"Ahead is the legendary eighteen layers of hell...... let's go! Let's go there and have a look at ......".
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he grabbed the door with both hands, flipped up, and was the first to jump in.
