I swallowed my saliva, and now I know that Emperor Xudu was originally in charge of the eighteenth layer of hell, so if I follow him, wouldn't it also be an official position belonging to hell?

Then why did he go to the Hades Palace and pretend to be the king of Hades? And where did King Yama go? Actually let what you do and ignore it?

Putting aside these boring topics, I looked at the time, it was eight o'clock in the morning, and thinking about it, I walked out of my palace and walked out of the route I remembered.

When I walked to the door of the golden hall again, my mouth suddenly opened in astonishment, because the words on the plaque had become the five blood-red words of the eighteenth layer of prison.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? "Did you look dazzled yesterday?

"Weird, isn't it?" A familiar voice came from behind him. I turned my head and saw that it was two brothers in black and white.

I nodded, didn't hide the doubts in my heart, and asked, "Isn't this the Hades Palace?" How did it turn into hell? ”

Bai Wuchang glanced at the door of the palace, as if he had already become accustomed to it. hooked the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "How can there be a Hades Palace in Xudu City, you turn your head and take a look?" ”

I turned my head to look over, and my eyes widened again, and I couldn't speak in horror.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the entire city of the capital changed its appearance, the bluestone paved streets under its feet turned red like blood, and the surrounding golden houses disappeared into endless mountains. The mountain was full of iron trees with sharp knives, and groups of handcuffed ghosts were escorted by demons to a huge gate in the distance that looked like the open mouths of evil beasts.

The top of each giant gate has large bright red letters, which are the names of the eighteen layers of hell.

Second Grandpa Chen once told us a story about the eighteen layers of hell, so I'll tell you about it here.
