Chapter 36: The Ten Temples of Torture
After his death, black and white impermanence carried me, Zhao Li, Lengmian Buddha and Feng Fatzi to a palace, "This is the first hall of Qin Guangwang Jiang." "Black and white impermanence said. Sitting on the tall hall should be Jiang, the king of Qin Guang, who saw us and immediately asked Black and White Impermanence: "What about another woman and child?" β
"Back to King Qin Guang, that woman and the child have been taken away by two little ghosts sent by Xue of the Tenth Hall Wheel King."
"The two of them were taken away by Xue Xue, the Wheel King of the Tenth Palace, will they suffer any retribution?" I asked hurriedly.
"They didn't commit any sin in the world, so they were taken away by Xue Xue, the Wheel King of the Tenth Palace, and they could be reincarnated directly without any punishment." King Qin Guang looked at us and smirked, "It's you who need to be punished. Bull head and horse face, first took off the mask on their faces. He pointed to me and the cold-faced Buddha and said.
The two ghosts took off our masks, and I finally saw the true appearance of the cold-faced Buddha.
"Shopkeeper?"
"Is that you?"
"How are you?" Zhao Li and Feng Fatzi and I were instantly frightened when we saw the appearance of the cold-faced Buddha, it turned out that the shopkeeper of the "Guangxing" wine store was the so-called cold-faced Buddha!
King Qin Guang said impatiently: "Okay, don't make noise, be quiet!" He Chun! King Qin Guang suddenly called my name, and I hadn't recovered from the matter of the cold-faced Buddha, so I replied solemnly: "I am!" β
King Qin Guang read out my crime: "You were originally a big Tsubaki tree that has been practicing for 10,000 years, but you magically transformed into a human form, participated in the two great battles of Langya and Ailing, and also assisted others to eradicate Zhu Tongyu, killing a large number of people directly and indirectly. A hundred rods! β
The two imps, each with a large stick the size of a bowl, beat me with a cane. Stick after stick made me feel like my soul was gone, and when the last stick fell, I almost fainted, and only a trace of thought remained.
"My lord! I'm not guilty! Feng Fatzi Xu was dumbfounded when he saw my miserable situation, knelt down in front of King Qin Guang, and said with a crying voice, "I have served the people of Ailing conscientiously all my life, eradicating bullies and outwitting thieves......"
"Shut up!" King Qin Guang glared at him angrily, "As the parent official of Ailing, you are doing unsightly deeds, deceiving and oppressing the people, and you are guilty of many crimes, and you will be beaten with two hundred rods!" β
"Don't, don't! Your Excellency, you have wronged me! He was still begging and begging, but to no avail, he was forcibly dragged away by two imps, and beaten with two hundred rods, and he let out a terrible cry, and at last, at the tenth he fainted.
"Bring the donkey's blood and pour it on him." King Qin Guang instructed the little ghost fish gills.
The ghost called the fish gills sent a bloodstained wooden barrel, I smelled a disgusting smell from a distance, the fish gills pointed the wooden barrel at Feng Fat Man and began to pour donkey blood, after a bucket of donkey blood was poured, he seemed to be "alive", instantly woke up, the little ghost then started to fight again, Feng Fat passed out again, and the fish gills poured donkey blood towards him, and repeated forty or fifty times.
At this time, King Qin Guang talked with the judge beside him, pointed at me and said: "Just now you were beaten with a cane to beat you to pieces, now you have to be sent to Chujiang Wang Li to continue to be punished, and then you will be sent to the third hall Song Emperor Yu to be punished, one hall after another, and you will be punished one last time at the tenth hall Wheel King Xue, and you can be reincarnated as a human being." β
King Qin Guang instructed the two ghosts of the leopard tail and the bird's beak to take me to the second hall.
The second hall was extremely cold, the cold wind pierced the bone marrow, the king of Chujiang ordered the two little ghosts to strip off my clothes, and there was no one left, and within three minutes, my body was full of blisters, and a few little ghosts picked up needles to break all the blisters on my body, my whole body was almost frozen, and I was powerless to resist at all, my wounds began to suppurate and bleed, I was in great pain, and I couldn't help but scream.
"Take him to the Red Lotus Hell." Chu Jiang Wang Li said.
The Red Lotus Hell was even colder, I saw that the wounds on my body were frozen into eight petals, the flesh was frozen red, like a red lotus, and what was even more terrifying was that a group of iron birds and a group of copper worms flew in, and they pecked and bit at my wounds, and I was so frozen that I couldn't make any sound, and I finally fell.
I was "awakened" by a pungent smell of donkey blood, and when I opened my eyes again, I had come to the third hall, Emperor Song ordered three little ghosts to press me on a copper pillar cylinder with a diameter of one meter and a height of two meters, and then burned charcoal fire in the cylinder, the little ghosts kept fanning the wind, and the copper pillar was soon red all over, and the skin of my whole body was burned, and there was a smell of barbecue. I was so cold that I couldn't do it, and now my whole body was burned and fell apart, and Emperor Song asked the little ghosts to sprinkle alkali brine on me.
I was freed from the bronze pillar, I thought that this temple was over, but I didn't expect that everything had just begun - suddenly a group of imps came up and held me tightly, took out the sluggish sword, and scraped off the burnt flesh on my body, I gasped and screamed, and before I could scream, my mouth was ripped open by them, and my tongue was cut off little by little, and I couldn't make a sound, so I had to clench my fists, and my whole body was curled up together in excruciating pain. Immediately afterwards, they forcibly pulled out all ten nails from my hands and feet, and pulled out the flesh. I was covered in cold sweat, sweat was flowing into the wound again, and I couldn't struggle.
They brought a string of rusty chains, and the head was sharpened, and they pierced my ribs with their heads, and then the whole chain came in, and there were ten chains in total, and then they pulled out the chains one by one, and the sharp head of one of the chains hooked my flesh, and a little ghost pulled it out directly, and I clearly saw a piece of flesh on my head, and my eyes were hazy and painful. In the end, they got out of nowhere ten snakes, as thick as chains, and they fit into exactly ten holes in my body. The snake writhed and bit inside me, my heart was bitten, and then my liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs were gnawed...... I passed out again.
An hour later, I woke up and found myself soaking in a large wooden basin filled with donkey blood, strange to say, all the wounds on my body were gone, the nails on my hands and feet were not missing, and the skin was as smooth as ever, I opened my mouth and touched my tongue with my hand, and it was still there, I snorted lowly, and I was able to speak again, but the indescribable pain was really unforgettable.
"Congratulations on passing the third hall, and now you are going to the fourth hall of the five senses Wang Lu." Emperor Yu of Song waved his hand, and a little ghost with the body of a fly-headed cow took me out of the wooden basin and led me away.
The facial features Wang Lu didn't say anything, just waved his hand at the little ghosts, and I was lifted up, and the little ghosts suddenly stopped and threw me down, I thought it was an abyss, and I would be crushed if I fell, but I never expected that there was a huge pool at the bottom, and the water in the pool was red, like blood. Since I fell from a great place, I rushed straight to the bottom of the pool, and in an instant my entire abdominal cavity was filled with this strange red liquid, and I gradually realized that something was wrong, my whole body began to rot, rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye, this liquid was extremely acidic, and when I slowly floated up from the bottom, I could no longer see anything, my eyes were also corroded, my whole body seemed to be burning, and there was a violent burning sensation all over my body. I couldn't stand it anymore, I couldn't stand this toss, and my body sank again.
There is no need to trouble anyone this time, the bottom of the blood pool is the Fifth Hall Yama King Bag.
"Hello, He Chun, welcome to the fifth hall." King Yama is quite polite, but I don't know how he will punish me. The thought of the torture I had suffered in the four halls in front of me made my face twitch.
I was thrown into a pot of boiling oil, and after more than an hour of frying like this, my whole body was already browned, and a layer of skin had fallen off my whole body, and I felt like I was crumbling when I pinched it. It's good that I was once again "bathed" in donkey blood.
The strange thing is that when I went to the sixth hall under the leadership of the little ghost, King Bian Cheng did not punish me after all, he said: "It stands to reason that the people in the sixth hall should suffer in the city of vain death for a period of time, but your enemy died at almost the same time as you, and your resentment will also dissipate, so you don't need to go to the city of death, go directly to the seventh hall." β
I skipped the sixth hall and came directly to the seventh hall, Taishan Wang Dong ordered the little ghost to carry me into a huge grinding plate-like utensil, and then came over a dozen little ghosts, one of them held a stone hammer in his hand, raised it high, and then faced me with a fierce hammer, the stone hammer fell like raindrops, and the first hammer hammered out my brain, "This is only grinding meat sauce hell, I want to hammer you alive into meat sauce, you feel good." A little ghost said. After a while, I lost consciousness and wondered if they had actually beaten me into meat sauce.
Came to the eighth hall of the city Wang Huang, I was first cut off limbs, then disemboweled, cut off my chest, and finally put in the pot for seven hundred and forty-nine hours, these are the little ghosts who took me to the ninth hall told me on the road, I had passed out when I cut off my limbs, how do you know so much.
On the way to the ninth temple, there is a road that must be passed, which is covered with knives and saws, "You go through it alone!" The imp said.
When I finally walked over, my feet were already full of holes, and as soon as Wang Lu saw me, he arranged a lot of "gifts" waiting for meβcrows ate hearts and livers, dogs ate intestines and lungs, and wasps, scorpions, spiders, and purple red snakes took turns tormenting me in my body.
Finally came to the last hall, and after checking my information, the Wheel King Xue ordered the ghost to take me away, saying that I could be reincarnated and become a new person, and I finally overgot it!
Along the way, I passed through the Huangquan Road, stepped on the Lethe River, and finally came to the Nai He Bridge, the ghost told me that Meng Po was on this Nai He Bridge, I was carried to the end of the Nai He Bridge, Meng Po brought a bowl of black and rancid soup and handed it to me, "Drink this bowl of soup, you can forget all the complicated trivialities, grievances and hatreds in the previous life, and be a new person!" β
"No, I don't drink it, I don't want to forget the memories of my previous life, my previous life was all about Sui'er, I don't want to see her in this life but not recognize her!" As if venting my anger, I shouted out with all my strength, stretched out my hand to knock over Meng Po soup, jumped over, and jumped......
