Chapter Seventy-Four: Returning the Sun
Then, nothing terrible happened.
But after seeing with my own eyes that gods and demons are like gods, even heaven and earth must bow down in front of them, and the supreme absolute god of the underworld dominates-
There can be no other thing that can be called "terrible".
Everyone followed the two Yin Gods into the Vain Death City in front of them, and then there was a shocking scene, that is, when they looked at it outside, the Vain Death City was obviously a dilapidated and very old abandoned city.
When I looked into the city from the outside through the city gate, I only saw that the city was pitch black, and the city gate was like an open mouth of blood, which looked very terrifying.
In other words, you can't see anything, not even make a sound, as if the city is a dead city where no one will live there...... That's how it should be, but just after they crossed the gatesβ
Suddenly, the lights in front of me were bright, and the streets were bustling with people, which was very prosperous.
Everyone was stunned for a while, but when they reacted, they found themselves walking on the streets of the downtown area, constantly shuttling through the crowd, surrounded by small vendors, shouting endlessly, and all kinds of goods were available.
They were dizzying, and couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of this place, and then suddenly came back to their senses and realized the situation of themselves and others at the moment.
Is this the city of vain?
They almost thought that they had returned to the yang world and lived in the human world, and they didn't think that this place was actually a city in the underworld.
There's even a terrible name, Vain Dead City!
After a closer look, everyone found that the inhabitants of the city were indeed not living people, but spirits...... The proof is that no one has a shadow, they don't, and no one else has either.
This discovery first made them break out in a cold sweat and be creepy, but after reacting, they found that they were the same.
No wonder this is a city that shelters people who have died in vain and allows them to live in the underworld to the original number of lifespans, in a sense, although they are not allowed to return to the yang, but this is also equivalent to making up for the unjustified disasters they have suffered in disguise.
"Let's go in, inside is where Lord Bian Cheng is, and what your fate will be, it will be up to you to decide."
The two envoys of black and white impermanence led everyone to a solemn hall in the city.
There are no plaques, no couplets, but everyone knows that this is the rumored Yama Temple. As soon as you enter this door, you can't help yourself, and you can only let the adult inside judge, and your fate can be decided by the other party.
But it's involuntarily, and what should come will always come.
They trembled and followed the two impermanence into the solemn hall, only to see expressionless ghosts on both sides, with green faces and fangs, and fierce faces, standing solemnly on both sides, and at the end of the hall in front of them, there was a huge desk.
There is a majestic figure sitting in the back, wearing a black python robe and a crown, which is extremely majestic and makes people dare not look at it directly.
Before everyone had time to think about it, they heard an angry shout: "Kneel! β
They were distracted, and subconsciously turned their heads to look in Luo Zhenghao's direction, just in time to see this ogre being kicked in the back of his leg by a ghost pawn, and his knee was slammed on the ground.
Some people shuddered with fright, shrunk their necks spinelessly, felt their legs weak, and their bodies were about to kneel down obediently.
But at this moment, black and white impermanence spoke-
"Strictly speaking, you are still a human soul for the time being, not a sin soul, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld, so there is no need to kneel down ......"
The implication is that now is not the time for them to be tried.
"Black and white are impermanent, why is the time missing?"
At this time, there happened to be a leisurely questioning voice coming from above, and I couldn't hear the mood of joy and anger, but it made people tremble and frightened, and I felt my legs and neck go weak again.
"Returning to the king......" The black and white impermanence glanced at each other, and then stepped forward and respectfully explained the reason for the matter.
Although the time to hook the soul is very strict, it doesn't mean that it can't be wrong at all, after all, the ghost world has thousands of souls coming and going every day, and the ghost pawn is not a pure incarnation of rules, how can it be possible to ensure that every job is not wrong?
Even if they are subjectively responsible for the work without error, it is difficult to ensure that there is anything wrong with the objective conditions.
The simplest example is the existence of the city of the dead, which originally shows that not all souls can live to the original number of lives without disease and disaster, a person can live to be 90 years old in the book of life and death, but he died in an accident at the age of 40.
This is the so-called vain death, and if he is not allowed to return to the yang, he will not be directly sent to the hell of the temples for trial...... Instead, they will be sent to the city of death and live until they are ninety years old.
After that, he will be dealt with by the judge Yama, and then decide whether to go to hell to pay for his sins, or go directly to samsara.
During this time, the souls of the dead in the city were able to live like the people of the Yang world, and were able to go to the city to see if their murderers were receiving their due retribution. Basically, it can be said that it is like a person in the yang world who has gone to a normal life in the underworld......
"I see, did you just meet Emperor Dongyue on patrol?"
King Bian Cheng nodded thoughtfully, but he really didn't blame, and said directly to himself.
"Yes...... If we don't cut off all the causes and effects and make the heavens and the earth calm again, then we are all the people who should be robbed, and the emperor should take action. β
This sentence has shocked many people's hearts, what does this mean?
People rob people...... A catastrophe on earth?
If there really is something big about it, then they can't care about it! Otherwise, even if he succeeds in resurrecting Yang, he may die again the next day, and report directly to the underworld.
I just went back, and I came back the next day, how embarrassing it was!
Some people think more far-reaching, they feel that although the world was difficult in the past, they have not heard of many demons, monsters, and zombies, and even if there are, they are in remote mountain villages and poor villages.
It is not surprising that there are some strange rumors in those poor mountains and bad waters, and they cannot be confirmed, let alone cause any big waves.
But now it's different, there are zombies in the prosperous imperial capital like Kaifeng Mansion, and there are extremely terrible rumors of demons and yin soldiers borrowing the way in the north.
It is said that the entire North South Province has been reduced to a dead land, and the surviving people continue to flee to the south.
It's just that there is no real military situation, and it's just some people's one-sided words and hearsay. Although it has become more and more intense in Jingshi recently, many people still feel unimpressed until the outbreak of Zombie Night!
From this point of view, it seems that there is really an omen of chaos in the world, what demons, monsters, ghosts, snakes and gods can come out, and there is really a catastrophe coming in this world!
However, King Bian Cheng didn't say anything about this matter, just sighed lightly, and then said something majestic:
"I already know about Luo Zhenghao, so I will follow the previous practice, this is the ghost killing order issued by this king, and I will go directly to the soul killing platform! Although it is impossible to re-enter reincarnation, it is also spared the suffering of hell...... Hum! It's kind of cheap! β
With that, he threw down a pitch-black iron token with a vicious ghost head mark on it.
He didn't even ask, as if he knew everything and made a judgment as a matter of course.
"Obey the King's orders!" Bai Wuchang stretched out his hand, just caught the token, and bowed his head and replied respectfully.
Hei Wuchang turned his head and shouted: "What are you waiting for!" Escort the guilty soul to the Soul Killing Table! β
Luo Zhenghao was frightened all of a sudden, it struggled wildly, shouting and screaming in its mouth, it was nothing more than a few words, but the ghost pawn turned a deaf ear, and roughly lifted its body and dragged it out directly.
The sound of chains twisting sounded.
"As for you, you are just innocent people who have been implicated, and when this sin soul arrives on the soul killing platform and walks away, and the soul is destroyed, the connection with the soul of you and others will naturally be cut off together."
King Bian Cheng didn't look at the crazy ogre, but turned to the others in the hall and said.
"After this matter is settled, I will allow you to wait for the return of the yang, and when your life is over, you will be sent by the ghost to hook the soul...... Go ahead! β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone was a little confused for a while, they couldn't react, they were even pessimistic and desperate enough to be mentally prepared to face the worst situation, but they didn't expect to pass the test like this?!
Should it really be praised for fairness and strictness? Right and wrong, clear daytime?
It was only after the black and white impermanence urged them that they walked out together in a daze.
Then they left the main hall and watched as the ghosts dragged the paralyzed ogres on their way out of the city of the dead, passing through the terrible hells of the world, and hearing the howls of the sinful spirits as they were tortured in them.
The heart-rending screams and sobs came and went, so that almost the only thought left in the minds of all of them was that this time they were lucky enough to return to the world.
Then you must do a good deed every day and be a good person.
If you don't ask for any blessings in the next life, at least you can't really go to the hells of the temples, it's really too miserable and miserable. And such a thought, at the moment when the ogre demon was put on the so-called soul killing platform that was mottled with dim blood stains and exuded a great killing intent, was slashed by a side knife, and his soul was destroyed.
The highest peak was reached.
However, it was at the moment when the demon was killed that all of them felt relieved, knowing that some mysterious connection between their souls and their souls was forcibly caused by spells was severed.
It seems that this Soul Slaying Platform is a treasure that can easily distinguish the target and annihilate the origin, without being blinded by a few spells...... Whoever should be killed, he will be killed, and he will never be injured by mistake.
"Okay, you can go back later......"
Then, without waiting for everyone to react, Bai Wuchang, who confirmed that the ogre demon had been subdued, turned around and shouted softly.
Hei Wuchang didn't speak with a cold face, but just withdrew his soul chain and waved his hand.
The next moment, everyone only felt an irresistible huge force attacking, throwing their whole body up and throwing them into a huge vortex......
In a trance, the soul returns!
