Chapter 112: Disaster Descends from Heaven
The city is a very special city, although it belongs to the underworld, it seems to be independent, and at the same time it is the only place where there is a connection with all walks of life, of course, this connection is limited to the soul. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So there are too many legends about this place in all walks of life, and in the Three Realms, only this city can be called the underworld, because it not only gathers the souls of the dead from all walks of life, but also controls the sin and punishment of the souls of all walks of life.
A group of four people walked on the wide streets of Xudu City, if they hadn't known in advance that this was the underworld, Lu Xiaonan really thought that this was like Linjiang City, but a prosperous human settlement city. However, there are also differences, here, they saw supermarkets, restaurants, inns and other shops that came and went, and what surprised Lu Xiaonan even more was that there were courier companies and car 4S stores here, how similar they were to the human world.
Xu Wenxu saw Lu Xiaonan hesitantly staring at the cars in the glass window, so he explained with a smile, "These things are all from the human world, after someone passes away in the human world, in order to express their feelings of longing and let the dead live better in the underworld, they will do excessive things, and burn some paper money, paper people and other things for them to use in the underworld, of course, these cars are also burned, they are specially used for the soul body of the underworld, and we living people can't use it." ”
Lu Xiaonan nodded, thinking secretly, no wonder the shops in the human world that make wood are so prosperous, it turns out that there is really such a thing.
There was a lot of sarcasm between Xu Wenxu's words, "It's just that, how can these ignorant people know that nine out of ten of the things burned can't reach the hands of the dead, because there are too few people in this world who are not guilty, and people who enter the underworld after death will basically be punished by the Ten Palaces Yama according to their crimes, it is difficult to be free, where is there still a chance to enjoy these things?" But these things were continuously burned and sent by the human world, so they could only be confiscated and collected and sold by the Yama Palace. ”
"And who are these things sold to?"
"Of course, it's the ghosts of these official residents of the city." Xu Wenxu pointed to the helicopters that were slowly landing in the distance, "Isn't that it?" ”
Lu Xiaonan turned his head to look, only to see the helicopter door slowly open, and a bearded old man hugged two blonde beauties left and right and walked down, and then entered a high-end restaurant. There are even foreign girls here? Lu Xiaonan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this was the first time he had seen a real plane, and it would be in the underworld! It's really a long time to see.
Xu Wenxu smiled, "The old gentleman I saw on the mission is named Lu Ju, who is the chief judge of the Ten Palaces of Yama, with fat in his hands, and incense in the world, he is rich enough to rival the country, of course he can afford these seemingly luxurious things." It's just that the upper part doesn't know that these burned things can only be used in this Xudu City, and they will turn into flying ashes when they leave the Xudu City for a hundred miles. ”
"I see." Lu Xiaonan nodded, it seems that there is a big gap between the rich and the poor here like the human world, and these ghosts walking on the street are probably poor, otherwise the streets would have been full of cars, planes and yachts. In addition to the blessings of several lifetimes, the ghosts who can become official residents of the capital can only become sinless after countless years of hard work in the underworld to do good deeds to offset their sins. In other places, Lu Xiaonan doesn't know, but in the mediocre and disturbed human world, he knows best, the impetuous society is only for profit, and they all live for the chic of today, where is there anyone who talks about good fortune? After death, the things burned by those relatives will probably be confiscated, but fortunately, they have also contributed to the commodity society of the underworld.
They continued to move forward, but they had passed four or five streets, and Lu Xiaonan did not feel the trembling feeling that the old lady of the Lu family said before smuggling into the underworld. The old lady said that because Lu Yanran died for him, once they were at a certain distance from him, they would attract each other, and they would have a special resonance and tremble. But all he met now were ghosts, Lu Yanran had just died, he didn't know if this weird-tempered little fox was blessed or guilty, probably still guilty in most cases, even if he was blessed, it was probably impossible to become a ghost immediately, he couldn't help frowning, and asked Xu Wenxu, "Shopkeeper Xu, if a person is from a new funeral to the Yama Palace, how long will it take?" ”
"Back to the upper chap, this time can be long or short, the minimum is not less than forty-nine days, and the maximum may be as long as a year."
Lu Xiaonan calculated the date, and it had been less than twenty days since Lu Yanran's death, so he asked, "Where are the souls to be sentenced?" ”
"The newly deceased started from the Land Temple, passed through Huangquan Road, Wangxiangtai, Vicious Dog Ridge, Jinji Mountain, and Wild Ghost Village, if they can survive safely, they will probably wait for their fate in the Lost Soul Palace, but there are hundreds of millions of people and various insects, fish, birds and beasts that die every day in the Three Realms, but there is not one soul who can pass through these levels safely."
"Where is the Temple of Ecstasy?" Lu Xiaonan's eyes lit up, with Lu Yanran's ability and that kind of cleverness, even if he became an ordinary little fox, he would probably be able to reach the Lost Soul Hall safely, and it was a little difficult for Jinji Mountain, after all, foxes eat chickens.
"On a mission to visit the Temple of Ecstasy?" Xu Wenxu's expression was a little unnatural, it didn't matter if he only walked around the city, even if he wanted to go to some special places that cost money, he would not hesitate, after all, it was a bad deal, it was necessary to invest, but if he wanted to go to the various yamen in charge of soul management in the underworld, he really didn't have the ability to take them in, it was a full-time organ in the divine realm, and it had its own set of procedures, and outsiders were never allowed to peep and interfere, even if he had been operating in this treasure hall for tens of thousands of years, even the big shopkeeper didn't have that ability.
The so-called money can make the ghost grind, that is for some inconsequential little things, once it comes to the core of the underworld, money is not useful, even those who are familiar with the brother and brother of the king of Hades and the ghost will immediately turn their faces, all of a sudden are iron-faced and selfless, otherwise the underworld would have been corrupted a long time ago.
Xu Wenxu is very aware of the key to this, but Lu Xiaonan is going to the Ecstasy Hall to have a look, which makes him embarrassed.
"Why, can't you?" Lu Xiaonan saw that Xu Wen was silent, so he asked, "Is it very strict to guard?" It doesn't matter, we're just watching from afar, not close. ”
Xu Wenxu stared at Lu Xiaonan with some disbelief, but Cheng Yu was already impatient, "You said that you are a big man, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, if you don't dare to go, tell us the direction, and the three of us brothers will go by ourselves." ”
"Boss, you can spare your subordinates." Xu Wenxu's face was full of bitterness, "Your subordinates look at you as if you are going to smash the field, but there are thousands of ghosts guarding it......"
"Who's going to smash the field!" Suddenly, a voice came, and the four of them looked up at the same time, only to see a minotaur leading a team of ghosts to meet them.
"Hey, Brother Niu, how can you have time to inspect in person today?" Xu Wenxuan hurriedly smiled and greeted him.
"Old Xu? It's none of your business. The minotaur immediately pulled Xu Wenxu aside, pointed at Lu Xiaonan and the others, and asked the ghosts beside him, "Is that them?" ”
"It's them! That's them! They smell of wanted criminals, and the younger one has worked with that criminal for hundreds of years, and he clearly remembers the smell of the criminal. ”
"Take it!" The minotaur waved his hand, and immediately several demons rushed up with chains in hand.
