Chapter 103: The Capital City
When Lin Shiying's soul body rushed to his No. 444 drink shop. It was already completely dark.
After all, if there is still sunshine, then Lin Shiying's soul is inseparable from the body, and once it is exposed to the sun, then it will be the end of the soul.
When Lin Shiying came to No. 444 Drink Shop, he found that there was no one here as usual.
"It seems that this is worthy of being called Yin Yang Street. At night, there was no one to be seen. ”
When he came to the store, Lin Shiying did not enter the store, because the entrance to the underworld was on a wall next to the No. 444 beverage shop.
And this entrance to the underworld is what people often call the ghost gate.
The ghost gate pass is the main road to the underworld, and there are a large number of ghost messengers, of course, the ghost difference here is only equivalent to the ancient officials, that is, the gatekeepers.
And the four ghosts are equivalent to the ancient head catchers. That is, to go around arresting and arresting ghosts, or to escort ghosts back to their souls.
And this so-called soul return refers to the seventh day after death, and this day is called the soul return day, which is a legend that the Chinese have long believed.
Chinese always think that on the seventh day after death, the soul of the deceased will return to the place where he lived before his death, and make a final (pilgrimage) to relatives, friends, and family, which can be regarded as a farewell to life and family.
Lin Shiying had just come here, and the four ghosts appeared beside her.
"Why are you here now?"
"We thought you weren't coming."
"Yes."
"That's right."
"How so? How can I not do what I promised you? ”
Lin Shiying said so. But there is a secret helplessness in my heart. These four ghosts are almost ghosts, and all four of them have to say a word, even if it's just a simple word.
Lin Shiying is always secretly wondering if these four ghosts were suffocated by words before they were alive, and now they have so many words after being a ghost.
"Shouldn't I be preparing? After all, I'm different from you. ”
"That's right."
"Alright, let's go. We're still in a hurry to go back and get back to Hades. ”
"That's right, let's go."
"I'll lead the way in front."
After speaking, the last one to speak walked forward, and Lin Shiying followed closely. Towards the ghost gate.
"The four adults are back?"
Walking to the front of the ghost gate, the four ghost messengers guarding the gate saluted and said to the four ghost messengers.
"Well, I'm back."
Only one of the four ghosts answered this time, and then took Lin Shiying and walked towards the ghost gate. And just when Lin Shiying walked to the ghost gate to enter, he was stopped by the ghost officer.
"Four adults, the breath on this ghost is wrong. Are you sure you didn't catch the wrong person? ”
After stopping Lin Shiying, one of the ghost messengers led by him said to the four ghost messengers.
"Catch the wrong person? Did we say he was the one we captured? He is a descendant of Maoshan in the yang world, and it is Lord Hades who wants to see him, if the time is delayed, Lord Hades will blame him, can you afford it? ”
Seeing that the ghost messenger stopped Lin Shiying and asked the four ghost messengers, and the four ghost messengers who heard this were directly angry, and loudly reprimanded the ghost messenger led by him.
And Lin Shiying was in a good mood at the moment, which was why he asked the four ghosts to take him to the underworld. At the very least, it can save him a lot of time and trouble.
And after listening to the words of the four ghosts, Lin Shiying suddenly remembered a word: ghost stories.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, four adults, since it was explained by Lord Hades, then hurry up and go in."
After listening to the scolding of the four ghosts, the ghost messenger led by him hurriedly let him go and let Lin Shiying go in quickly.
Even if Lin Shiying is not the person that Hades wants to see, he was brought in by the four major ghosts, and they can be pushed to the four ghosts if there are things. But if it is the person whom Hades wants to see, and they delay it, then they will not be able to eat and go around.
After entering the ghost gate, Lin Shiying felt that his eyes had changed, as if he had come to another world, which was a gray-white place, where there was no sun, but it was not dark. There are also plants around, but unlike the sun, the plants here are gray and white.
"What are you doing standing stupidly? Hurry up and go. Don't wander around here, follow us closely. ”
Seeing Lin Shiying standing there and looking around the dungeon, the two behind the four ghosts directly urged. Hearing their urgings, Lin Shiying continued to walk forward.
He also knew that now was not the time to enjoy the scenery of the underworld, and his top priority now was to get the Soul Fruit and wake up Zhang Shufang.
"Four bad brothers, we've already arrived at the underworld now, right?"
While walking, Lin Shiying watched around. Then he asked the four ghosts. Actually, he already knows it himself, but he still wants to confirm it.
"That's right, this is the realm that belongs to the underworld, remember, here, there are only ghosts, don't run around, lest we arrest you when the time comes, and we can't do it."
"Don't worry, I'm just here to see Lord Yama to explain the situation at that time. It's okay. ”
"Well, I hope you'll abide by what you say."
After speaking, the four ghosts almost stopped talking and continued to walk forward.
After a while, in front of Lin Shiying, a river appeared. And this river is the moat. What city do you protect? Of course, it is the capital city.
The city is the largest city in the underworld, and all the arrangements of the ghosts are in this city.
Of course, there is actually not only Lord Yama in charge of the underworld in the city. Lin Shiying once listened to Uncle Ying's introduction. There are ten halls of Yama in the city of Xudu. They are:
The first palace Qin Guangwang, whose name is Jiang.
The second palace of the king of Chujiang, his name and surname Li.
The third palace of the Song Emperor, his name and surname Yu.
The fourth hall is the king of the five officials, and his name is Lu.
The fifth temple of the king of Yama, whose name is Bao.
The sixth hall of the king of Bian Cheng, whose name and surname are Bi.
The seventh hall of Mount Tai King, his name is surnamed Dong.
The king of the eighth palace city, whose name is Huang.
The ninth hall is equal to the king, whose name is Lu.
The tenth hall of the wheel king, his name and surname are Xue.
And these ten halls of Yama are also in charge of different things and different positions.
The first hall, King Jiang of Qin Guang, was born on the first day of the second month of February, specializing in the life and death of the world, governing the good and the good life, and leading the exaltation; Those who have made two halves of the merit will be sent to the tenth temple for distribution, and they will still be put into the world, and the men will be turned into women, and the women will be turned into fields. Those who have more evil and less good are escorted to the high platform on the right side of the temple, called the mirror platform of evil, so that one of them can see the good and bad hearts in the world, and then they will be released from the second temple and sent to prison to suffer.
The second hall, the Chujiang royal calendar, the first day of the first day of March, is in charge of the living hell, also known as the cold ice hell of the stripping pavilion, and there are 16 small prisons, where those who hurt people's limbs in the yang world *** steal and kill the living, push into this prison, and send them to 16 small prisons to suffer, and transfer to the second hall at the end of the term, and increase the punishment to prison.

The fifth hall, the Yama Tianzi Bao, the eighth day of the first month of the first month, the first hall of the former residence, because of the mercy to die, repeatedly released the sun and the snow, and lowered this hall. The boss called the Great Hell, and punished the Little Hell. Those who are relieved to this temple are escorted to Wangxiangtai, so that they can hear about the family in the world, and suffer all kinds of things because of their sins, and then they are pushed into this prison, and carefully investigate what evil they have committed, and then send them to the sixteen small prisons of the heart, hook out their hearts, throw them with snake food, and put their heads on their heads (Bao Gong is good at using guillotine knives), suffer all day, and send another temple.
The sixth hall, Bian Cheng Wang Bi, was born on the eighth day of the first month of March, and the head shouted for the great hell, and the city of death in vain, and set up 16 small prisons. Those who disobey and are unfilial will be divided by two little ghosts with a saw. Anyone in the world who complains about heaven and earth, and weeps for drowning in the north, will be sent to this prison. If you investigate the incident, you will also be punished by beating with an iron cone and burning your tongue. He suffered again in a small prison, and he was transferred to the seventh temple all day long, and then checked whether there was any other evil.
The seventh hall, Taishan Wang Dong, was born on March 27, and the head of the hot and annoying hell, also known as the grinding meat sauce hell, and set up 16 small prisons. Those who take the remains of the world and combine the medicine and leave the relatives will be sent to this prison. Sending a small prison again. After suffering for a long time, he was transferred to the eighth temple and sent to prison for investigation. In addition, anyone who steals, makes false accusations, extorts, or kills for money will be punished by the oil pot.
The eighth hall, the city Wang Huang, was born on the first day of the fourth month, and was in charge of the great hell of great heat and annoyance, also known as the hell of the annoyed pot, and set up 16 small prisons. Anyone who is unfilial in the world and makes his parents and aunts depressed and troubled will be thrown into this prison. Then he was handed over to the small prisons for additional punishment, and he suffered so much pain, and he was handed over to the tenth temple, and he was changed in appearance, and he was an animal forever.
The ninth hall, the equal king Lu, was born on the eighth day of the fourth month, and was in charge of the iron network of Fengdu City, and set up 16 small prisons. Those who kill people in the Yang world, set fires, and behead the Fa-rectification, are sent to the main hall, and they are punished with hollow copper stakes, chained their hands and feet, fanned the fire, burned their hearts and livers, and were punished in hell with their hair. It was not until the victims were reincarnated one by one that they proposed to hand over the six realms (Heavenly Path, Humane Path, Underground Path, Asura Path, Hell Path, and Animal Path) to the Tenth Temple.
The tenth hall, the wheel king Xue, was born on April 17, and was in charge of solving ghosts in each hall, distinguishing good and evil, verifying levels, and sending reincarnations to various places. Men and women are dying, rich and poor, and they are listed in detail one by one, and the first hall is registered every month. Whoever has done the most evil deeds will be made to become an egg and a fetus, and he will die in the twilight of his life, and after his sins are fulfilled, he will return to life and be reborn in a barbarian land. Whoever is sent to reincarnate is ordered to be escorted to the god Meng Po, and he is drunk and drunk, and he is poured into the soup, so that he forgets the things of his previous life.
Just as I was thinking about it, Lin Shiying and the four ghosts had already entered the capital city. And the guards at the gate of the city are bull heads and horses.
Because there are four ghost differences, Lin Shiying was not intercepted again like when he first entered the ghost gate. Instead, he successfully walked into the legendary capital city.
