Chapter Twenty-Six: Eighteen Layers of Hell
After the gate of hell was opened, there was an eerie and miserable blood-colored world inside, where the blood covered the sun, the tall earth evil ghost statues stood majestically, stained with scarlet blood, and continuous pieces of skulls stood in this gloomy world, countless bones floated around, and the body of the deceased hung on the knife mountain, as if he had suffered capital punishment and all kinds of cruel treatment before death, and an invisible sense of depression filled here.
For thousands of years, hell has had a powerful deterrent effect between humans and ghosts, because ghosts who commit evil deeds will be imprisoned here and subjected to various punishments and tortures.
Eighteen Layers of Hell, as the name suggests, there are eighteen layers here, each layer is imprisoned by a variety of ghosts, most of which are extremely vicious ghosts, very terrifying inside, and impregnable, once you enter here, there is no hope of escape.
After the demons are put on the chains with the ability to overcome demons, they are assigned to different levels according to the severity of their karma, and they are also arranged according to the length of time they have been suffering and the severity of the punishment, and each hell is twenty times more painful than the previous one.
The first layer: tongue-pulling hell
The ghosts imprisoned in this layer of hell will be opened by the ghosts of hell, and their tongues will be clamped with iron tongs, and they will be pulled out by force, and some will even stretch their tongues and drag them slowly, the main purpose is to torture the ghosts.
Second layer: Scissors hell
The ghosts imprisoned in this layer of hell will be forcibly held down by the ghost pawns, so that the ghosts will watch as a sharp pair of big scissors cut off their ten fingers.
Level 3: Iron Tree Hell
There is a large forest in this layer of hell, but the leaves on the trees are as sharp as knives, and the trees are covered with grass like needles, and the ghosts sent to this level will be cut into pieces by these leaves and grass, and they will continue to suffer all kinds of pain.
Level 4: Mirror Hell
In this layer of hell, there is a huge mirror called the ghost mirror, and the ghosts who are sent to this level will see their evil deeds in the mirror, and they will be immersed in their own sinful karma again and again, and they will suffer mental torture.
Fifth Floor: Steamer Hell
The ground in this layer of hell is unusually hot, like a steamer, and the ghosts sent here will be steamed by the heat, and accept the pain as if they were in a steamer.
Sixth Floor: Bronze Pillar Hell
There is a huge copper pillar in this layer of hell that is two meters high, and the copper pillar has been burning with coals for many years, and the copper pillar has become red due to the high temperature, and the ghosts who come here will be forced to hold on to the copper pillar and accept the pain of the high temperature on the pillar.
Seventh Layer: Knife Mountain Hell
There is a mountain of shimmering cold light in this layer of hell, this mountain is all made of sharp knives, and the ghosts who come to this level will be pushed into the mountain, and they will be stabbed by the mountain of swords, depending on the severity of their crimes, and some ghosts will be permanently stationed on this mountain of swords.
Eighth Layer: Iceberg Hell
There is an iceberg in this layer of hell, this layer is extremely cold, and the evil spirits in this layer have to be tortured by the cold, and due to the low temperature, some of the ghosts have even been frozen and turned into ice sculptures.
Ninth Floor: Oil Pot Hell
This layer of hell is the opposite of iceberg hell, the temperature is very high, it is full of boiling fire, and there is a huge oil pot in the center, and the ghosts who come here will be thrown into the hot oil pot and fried, and the number of times it will be fried will be determined according to the severity of the sin.
The above nine floors are called the East Hell, and the ghosts imprisoned are not very serious, and this is also the center of the eighteenth layer of hell, where the Hell Chief works and is responsible for managing the affairs of the upper nine layers and the lower nine layers.
Next is the Lower Nine Hells, also known as the West Hell, where the environment and punishments are even more brutal than the Upper Nine Hells.
Tenth Floor: Bull Pit Hell
There is a large pit in this layer of hell, and countless cows are placed in the pit, and when the ghosts are thrown into the pit, they will be attacked by the horns, the hooves of the cows, and the fire on the body of the ox (it will burn to ashes when touched), etc., and the ghosts locked in this layer will not have any hope of getting out, so they do not even have the strength to be afraid.
Level 11: Stone Pressed Hell
This level of Hell is a large square stone trough, and a boulder of the same size hangs from a rope above the stone trough, and the ghosts who commit crimes will be put into the trough, and the ghost pawns will cut the ropes, and the boulder will crush them, and in a few moments, the ghosts will be crushed into the shape of a piece of paper.
Twelfth Floor: Chungjiu Hell
As the name suggests, this layer of hell is shaped like a mortar, and the ghosts who come to this layer will undoubtedly be put into the mortar by the ghost pawns and killed, and this punishment is quite peculiar.
Thirteenth Floor: Blood Pool Hell
This level of hell is a pool of bright red and boiling blood, and when those ghosts come to this level, they will be thrown into the pool of blood to suffer, and their pain is self-evident.
Level 14: Death in Hell
Although there is no special punishment and torture in this layer of hell, the ghosts imprisoned from this level down are all extremely vicious beings, and they will never be able to leave hell.
The fifteenth layer: Hell of Punishment
This level of hell is terrifying, and the ghosts who enter this level will be tortured by a thousand cuts.
Sixteenth Floor: Volcanic Hell
This level of Hell is a magma-erupting volcano that emits intense heat, and the demons who are sent into the volcano will be tortured to be burned alive.
Seventeenth Floor: Stone Grinding Hell
There is a huge stone mill in this layer of hell, and the ghosts who are brought to this level will be tortured by the stone mill from time to time, and if they can't hold on, they will be ground into sand.
Eighteenth Floor: Knife and Saw Hell
This layer of hell is the lowest level of hell, and the people who can be locked up here are some terrible characters, and the ghosts will be tied to four wooden stakes and sawed to death by sharp saws, but this is also a long time ago, because those punishments have no effect on the powerful demons, so this is more of a barrenness, so the biggest torture here is never to be reborn, and they are accompanied by only endless loneliness, the legendary evil ghost-Shura ghost and the protagonist of this incident, the Rakshasa ghost, is imprisoned here.
At this time, Long Daoling, the Night King, the Gray Earth Ghost and the Upside-Down Hanging Ghost had already entered the hell, Long Daoling looked at the terrifying scene in front of him, and felt that it was almost the same as he imagined, but this was a real hell, a place dedicated to imprisoning and torturing ghosts, and a ghost crying and howling sounded everywhere.
The road here was very winding, but fortunately, with the two guides of the Grey Soil Ghost and the Inverted Hanging Ghost, it didn't take long for a faint blue fire to appear in front of them, and they fixed their eyes on the passage to the eighteenth level of hell at hand.
However, the guards of Hell are also quite tight, with several ghost pawns patrolling back and forth, and they do not seem to be aware of the opening of the gates of Hell and the invasion of outsiders.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary conflicts, Long Daoling and the others carefully avoided the patrolling ghost pawns, and several ghost pawns also felt unfamiliar ghost aura, but they probably didn't expect that anyone else would break into the hell, so they didn't search carefully.
In this way, they walked smoothly down the dark stone staircase and went straight to the first level of hell.
Although the ghost pawns in Hell did not know that there were intruders in Hell anymore, all the people and centaurs who were fighting around outside Hell had already sensed it, especially the Demon Demon, who had received the news that the Gate of Hell had been opened, and was looking in the direction of Hell Gate, and said with great satisfaction: "It seems that they have been opened!" ”
At this time, the fire ghost held a sharp axe in six arms, and it seemed that he was a little powerless, it seemed that he and the demon had already engaged in a fierce battle in a short period of time, and there was no doubt that he was not the opponent of the demon at all.
"Devil, don't look around, my battle with you is not over yet!" The fire-catching ghost said angrily.
The demon looked at him sideways, shook his head and responded, "It's over, I think you better save some energy!" ”
The demon didn't seem to want to pay attention to him anymore, and planned to leave here for the gates of hell, but at this moment, the fire ghost shouted loudly and quickly rushed towards him with six sharp axes······
After a while, the fire ghost also fell to the ground, and at this time, more than a dozen of the demons' subordinates also came here, and hurriedly reported: "Lord Demons, the gates of hell have been opened, please go quickly!" ”
"I already know this, let's go!" The demon said to his subordinates.
"And what about this guy?" One of the subordinates asked.
The demon looked at the fire ghost. Then he signaled: "He has no power to resist for the time being, you guys will arrest him first and place him, and it can come in handy later." ”
"Yes, sir!" Several of the ghosts immediately answered.
The evil ghost knew that this time the ghost city of Fengdu was full of storms, and it was not easy to get out of the city, so he decided to arrest these important officials of the underworld first, as a condition for negotiating with the underworld in the future, I have to say that the evil ghost handled things more thoughtfully.
On the other side, the hundred ghosts who were fighting all over the ghost city, with the support of Red Sleeves and Yao Ji and their others, gradually gathered together to play an extraordinary level, even so, but the opponent was the ten yin marshals from the Netherworld after all, and it was not a simple matter to defeat them.
The two hideous ghosts, the blue-faced ghost and the red-faced ghost, were also in a state of momentum at first, but after fighting with the bull-headed horse face for two rounds, the gap between them was more obvious.
After all, they are the lowest-level evil ghosts, even if they have the power of the hundred ghosts in their bodies, it is impossible to break this situation, seeing that they are not bull-headed and horse-faced opponents, the red-faced ghosts immediately shouted at them: "Little ghosts, let's retreat!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, the long ghost, the hairy ghost, the five strange ghosts and other ghosts also fled with the two of them, and the red-faced ghost was also to buy a little more time for Long Dao Ling, and try to drag them down.
Sure enough, when the two bulls and horses saw them fleeing, they sneered and chased after them·····
