Chapter 13: The Netherworld
The Six Realms of Reincarnation, the Yama Temple, the Yin Difference, and the Soul ...... It seems that the folk legends about the underworld are not all groundless.
But it's not all the same.
"Eight Great Palaces? Isn't Hades the eighteen layers of hell? Ding Jiu asked.
At the mention of the eighteenth layer of hell, Chen San's body trembled obviously, he took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression:
"The Eight Great Halls and the Eighteen Hells belong to different departments.
The Ten Halls of the Hades are in charge of the life and death of ordinary people, and their order is as follows:
The first hall, Jiang Yanjun, the king of Qin Guang, is in charge of life and death in the world, and is in charge of the good luck and evil of the netherworld.
In the second hall, Li Yanjun, the king of Chujiang, is in charge of the cold and ice hell of the stripping pavilion, and there are sixteen small prisons.
In the third hall, Emperor Yu Yanjun of the Song Dynasty is in charge of the Black Rope Hell, and there are 16 small prisons.
In the fourth hall, Lu Yanjun, the king of the five senses, is in charge of peeling off the blood pool hell, and there are 16 small prisons.
In the fifth hall, the king of Yama Bao Yanjun, the head of the charge called the Great Hell of the Heart, and set up 16 small prisons.
In the sixth hall, Bi Yanjun, the king of Bian Cheng, was in charge of shouting the Great Hell, and the city of death in vain, and set up sixteen small prisons.
The seventh hall, Dong Yanjun, the king of Mount Tai, is in charge of grinding meat sauce hell, and there are 16 small prisons.
In the eighth hall, Huang Yanjun, the king of the city, is in charge of the great hell of great heat and annoyance, and there are 16 small prisons.
In the ninth hall, Lu Yanjun, the king of equality, is in charge of the iron net Abi Hell, and the capital city, and there are 16 small prisons.
The tenth hall, Xue Yanjun, the king of the wheel, is in charge of solving ghosts in each hall, distinguishing good and evil, verifying levels, and sending six reincarnations.
After the reincarnation of men and women, rich and poor, the wheel of the hall is opened in detail one by one, and the first hall of Qin Guangdian is registered every month, and we will hook the soul according to the book of life and death.
When we often say that the Eight Great Halls of Hell refer to the Great Hell in charge of the Second to Ninth Halls of Yan Jun. ”
After Ding Jiu listened, he had a general understanding of the Ten Halls of the Netherworld, and he remembered that he was now under the command of King Qin Guang and was a member of the Ghost Envoy Division of the Yang World.
Now at least I know who the big boss on my head is, unlike before, he used to belong to the kind of police who didn't even know the name of the Minister of Public Security.
After Chen San finished speaking, he continued: "But the status of the Ten Hall Yama is not the highest in the underworld, and there is also the Son of Heaven on it.
Although the Son of Heaven of Yama has the same name as the King of Yama, the two are not the same person, the Son of Heaven of Yama is the ruler of the underworld, and the ten halls of Yama, including the King of Yama, must obey the orders of the Son of Yama.
The place where the Son of Heaven is located is the Hall of the Son of Heaven, and the Hall of the Son of Heaven is set up: six Cao, three divisions, one hall, and eighteen layers of hell.
The six Cao are divided into about three classes, and the third class on the left is in charge of the heavenly cao, the earth cao, and the underworld; The third class on the right is in charge of Shen Cao, Ren Cao, and Ghost Cao.
The three divisions are the Division of Rewarding the Good, the Division of Punishing the Evil, and the Judge Cui who is a single person into a division.
One of the temples is the temple of overseers......"
Speaking of the Supervision Hall, Chen San's eyes showed a little fear, and he lowered his voice and said:
"The power of the Supervision Hall is very great, and the inside of the underworld is from the bottom to the top - the shadows, ghosts, and even impermanence, except for Yan Jun, all the people in the underworld are subject to the Supervision Palace.
The subordinates of the Supervision Hall supervise the haunting and selfless appearance of the Imperial History, and are responsible for supervising all violations of the rules in the underworld.
And once discovered, it will not be tolerated, and it will be severely punished according to the law of yin and underworld, and the eight halls will be punished.
But that's not all.
The most awesome thing about the Overseer is that they are also in charge of the eighteen levels of hell! ”
Speaking of this, Chen San unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said in a low voice:
"In fact, the purpose of setting up the eighteen layers of hell is not to punish evil and persuade good at all, but to suppress the evil spirits in the world from the beginning.
Even if the first layer of hell of the eighteen layers takes tens of billions of years to get out of prison according to the time of the yang world, and each subsequent hell will increase the sentence by four times and the suffering by twenty times compared with the previous hell.
We low-level yin do not know when the eighteenth layer of hell was established, but I heard that since the day it was established, only a few dozen people have fallen into the eighteenth layer of hell.
Before these dozens of people fell into the eighteenth layer of hell, they were all stirring the Three Realms and Six Realms, and their strength was through the heavens, and even no one in the yang world could control them.
But as soon as the Supervision Hall made a siege and suppression, none of these people were spared, and all of them were taken away from their souls and sent to the eighteenth layer of hell.
For tens of billions of years, he was tortured by knives, axes, chisels, and cooking in eighteen layers of hell, and I heard that there were endless howls all day long.
So far, no one has been released from prison. ”
When Ding Jiu heard this, he also smacked his lips, sighing at the mystery of this supervision hall.
He remembered that the black-robed man in the back mountain had told him last time that the people of the underworld had to abide by the three chapters, and the third of them mentioned the eighteen layers of hell.
"Whoever rejoices with the ghosts will enter the eighteenth layer of hell, and will never be able to live beyond the ages!
You remember it for me, don't repeat your grandfather's mistakes! ”
The meaning in this sentence is not shallow, Ding Jiu frowned and thought, is the black-robed man saying that his grandfather committed the third article?
Chen San told about the eighteenth layer of hell, which gave Ding Jiu a general idea, and now, the punishment for merging with ghosts is really serious.
Since grandpa's soul has not been sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, then it means that grandpa is not guilty of this third one, probably talking about the first two, Ding Jiuxin said.
"Ahh
The crow's cry hovered overhead.
Ding Jiucai suddenly realized that it was already dark now, and the two had been talking for so long.
"I can't necessarily understand all the things I ask you at once. In this way, I will join you next time you hook the soul, this is not a violation of the rules, right? ”
A great man once said that practice tests knowledge.
Ding Jiu plans to observe the whole process of the ghost seducing the soul up close, so that he can have a deeper understanding of the ghost, the shadow, and even his own identity.
Chen San hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course you don't break the rules!" ”
Ding Jiu nodded with satisfaction, then paused for a few seconds, and smiled at Chen San:
"So, what do you need me to do?"
Chen San was stunned for a moment, and Ding Jiu continued to smile:
"You patiently explained to me today, it's not because of my grandfather, I didn't say that my grandfather was Ding Quan at the beginning.
If you have nothing to do, you must ask for something, the only thing I have now is this first-class and second-class identity, say, what do you want me to do for you? ”
Chen San hung his head in embarrassment, not daring to answer.
Favors are the most suitable for investment, it will slowly ferment over time, and when he speaks again in the future, even if the things he asks you to do obviously exceed the favors to be repaid, you have a good chance of agreeing.
So it's better to be affectionate early, and it's even better to be in person.
Ding Jiu said with a smile: "I don't beat around the bush when I speak, I like to put things on the table and say, now I will give the bottom of it, and I won't be caught off guard if anything happens in the future." ”
Chen San praised embarrassedly: "My lord is really taking precautions." ”
But Chen San wanted to scold in his heart, and said secretly: How can this chick not slip his hands, and he can't get into any loopholes.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen San smiled and said: "The adults have thought about it a lot, but in fact, the villain is just warm-hearted, and he doesn't mean to repay the favor......"
"Oh? That means there are no requirements? Ding Jiu took over the conversation and said with a smile.
Chen San hurriedly smiled bitterly: "No, no, in fact, it can't be said to be a requirement, it's just a little ...... Small request. ”
Ding Jiu had already expected it in his heart, so he didn't say much, just looked at him with a smile.
"Yin difference is divided into four grades, and each class is divided into four levels, and it is better to say that the promotion is better, and the strength will be promoted by itself.
But this is ...... When you are promoted, in addition to being recommended by a high level of yin, you also need to set up a merit with the same rank as after being promoted, and it must be recorded in the Qin Guang Palace.
But this merit is not so easy to achieve, not to mention that the opportunity to make meritorious service is rare.
Even if there is this opportunity, the villain's third-class strength to establish the second-class credit is more than enough but not enough.
However, the yin of the Yang Ghost Envoy Division, that meritorious service is as easy as eating and drinking, and the villain wants to ......"
Speaking of this, Chen San rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said:
"The villain just wants the adult to bring the villain when he does things in the yang world in the future, and he can't say that one day he will be able to make a second-class credit in the palace merit book.
Isn't it a matter of course that villain will be promoted to the second class in the future......"
Ding Jiu realized this, and he understood a little bit about this yin level.
His current identity is a second-class person, so it is not too difficult to set up a second-class merit for Chen San, who wants to take the second class with him.
This request is not too difficult, so Ding Jiu nodded and agreed.
Chen Sanxi hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, my lord!" ”
Seeing that Chen San knelt down and knocked one at every turn, Ding Jiuxin said, it seems that the Qing Dynasty's kneeling ceremony is not shallow.
