Chapter 18: The Ten Palaces of Hades
In the council hall of the Netherworld, the conflict between the words of Bai Impermanence and the Night Wandering God caused the atmosphere to become extremely tense.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the bull head and the horse face on the side also hurriedly walked over, and the bull head said to them: "You all calm down, we are all colleagues, don't hurt the harmony because of a few words." β
"Yes, everyone is a member of the Ten Yin Shuai, let's make a big thing small." Ma Mian also persuaded.
Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "Brother Niu Tou Ma Mian, you also heard it, it's not that I want to make a conflict, it's just that what some people say is too harsh and uncomfortable to listen to." β
"Oh, that's my fault, right?" Riyoushen said coldly.
The four of them, the leopard tail, the beak, the wasp, and the gills on the side, were watching the quarrel between them like an audience, and they didn't seem to want to dissuade them, and at this moment, the ghost king sitting on the chair stood up, revealing a belt inlaid with the head of the evil ghost on his waist, swaggering towards them, and said slowly: "You are all core members of the underworld, look at what you look like now, the infighting between your own people, isn't this a joke?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, this is going to be known to Hades, and you should know what the consequences are. β
During the time when the Ten Palaces of Yama left, the Ghost King was temporarily appointed by the King of Yama as the commander-in-chief of the Ten Yin Shuai, so he also had the obligation to coordinate the contradictions between the Yin Shuai, and the Ten Yin Shuai was temporarily the supreme power of the Yin Cao Prefecture, responsible for all affairs inside and outside the Underworld, and there could be no mistakes.
As soon as the ghost king's words came out, it really had a deterrent effect, and the day wandering god signaled to the night wandering god: "Let's go, why waste time with them, let's go out to breathe." β
After speaking, the two of them also restrained their breath, and walked out of the conference hall without looking back, and Hei Wuchang also said to Bai Wuchang: "We don't have to pay attention to them, just be ourselves, they can't get used to our meritorious service." β
Bai Wuchang still replied with a smile: "Hehe, I won't be angry because of these things, it's just that we are all handsome and have the same status, these two guys don't give us face, and we don't need to let them." β
"You're all right, let's go!" The bull head and the horse face also said.
Then, the ten yin marshals all left the council hall one after another, it seems that there are not only many forces in the underworld, but also the members are not in harmony with each other, and the relationship is still quite complicated.
On the other side, King Yama also returned to his office area after the regular meeting, sitting quietly on the chair, he is the head of the ten halls of Hades, the highest power in the Netherworld Prefecture, almost all the big and small things in the underworld have passed through him, and his own strength is the strongest existence among the ten halls of Hades.
According to legend, the king of Yama was also a king in the past, and swore in the war with other kings because of the defeat of the army, willing to be the lord of hell, the palace where they lived is located outside the second iron city mountain in the south of Yanfutizhou, 6,000 years long, called the Senluo Palace, and his eighteen ministers led their millions of people to swear together to govern the sinners of hell. The eighteen ministers are the core backbone of the prefecture, and the millions of people are many ghost soldiers and ghost pawns.
After the meeting between the king of Yama and the ten yin marshals, they waited here for the arrival of the other nine Hades, because after a few hours, they would collectively leave the underworld and go to the deepest part of the underworld Ghost Realm Fortress, at this time, as for what they went there for, no one knows, very mysterious, because they are not in the underworld, only the ten yin marshals of the underworld will manage on their behalf.
In the millennium legend, the supreme ruler in charge of the underworld, the name of the "Ten Palaces of Yama" in the underworld is famous in the two worlds of Yin and Yang, they have a total of ten halls, and each hall has its own scope and responsibilities, these are:
The first palace: King Qin Guang, this king leopard-eyed lion-nose, long beard, wearing a square crown, holding a wat in his right hand on his chest, he is in charge of the length of life between people, life and death, the good fortune of the netherworld, the longevity of good people and the ascension of succession;
The second hall: the king of Chujiang, this king is like a short face and wide mouth, wearing a square crown, wearing a robe, holding a wat in his left hand, in charge of the cold ice hell;
The third hall: Emperor Song, this king has angry eyebrows, holds a wat board in both hands on his chest, and is in charge of the black rope hell;
Fourth Temple: The King of the Five Senses, this king frowns and glares, has long manes with ears, wears a square crown on his head, wears a robe, holds a rosary in his left hand, and holds a wat in his right hand between his knees, and is in charge of the blood pool hell;
Fifth Palace: King Yama, the head of the ten halls of Yama, unsmiling, righteous and awe-inspiring, wearing a crown on his head, hanging incense bags on both sides to protect his ears, wearing a ruffled lapel wide-sleeved robe, boots on both feet, holding a wat with both hands on his chest, in charge of calling the Great Hell;
Sixth Palace: King Bian Cheng, this king raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth, had a war helmet on his head, was dressed in lead armor, had a girdle around his waist, stepped on leather boots, and arched his hands in front of his chest, and was in charge of the city of vain;
The seventh hall: King Taishan, this king has a flat nose and a concave face, wears a square crown, holds a wat in both hands, and is in charge of the meat sauce hell;
The eighth hall: the king of the city, this king has a white face, holds a wat in both hands, and is in charge of the stuffy pot hell;
The Ninth Palace: King Equality, this king looks like a kind old man, with a long mane, a square crown, a robe, hands in his sleeves, and a flute board in his arms, in charge of the Fengdu City Abi Hell;
The tenth hall: the king of the wheel, this king has a short beard, holds a wat in both hands, and is in charge of the ghosts escorted by each hall, distinguishing between good and evil and the approved level.
The image of the Ten Halls of Yama in the legend is so awe-inspiring that it has been passed down by the people to this day and is widely known, however, after thousands of years, they have also undergone some changes, and there have been flexible breakthroughs in management, and important affairs are still handled by the Fifth Temple.
Therefore, as the head of the ten halls of Hades, the king of Yama also plays the role of the leader of the underworld, and the affairs of the other nine halls of Hades are relatively easy, so that whether in the underworld or in the human world, when the Lord of Hades is mentioned, people will remember the king of Yama from the fifth hall, so that the reputation of the other Hades is slightly weak.
However, the nine Hades do not care about these, but are happy to be idle, after all, most of the pressure is on the head of the king of Yama, as long as there is a major thing in the underworld, the underworld and hell, the important responsibility comes from his management, therefore, no matter when and where, the king of Yama is showing people with a serious expression, and the majesty arises spontaneously.
He never showed a trace of a smile, not that he didn't want to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, because the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, as the superior who manages the underworld, it represents the authority of the underworld, and must hold majesty, only in this way can it deter all kinds of ghosts.
Therefore, all the ghosts, ghost soldiers and ghost pawns, and even all the ghosts in the entire underworld, are in awe of the king of Yama, including the ten yin marshal, as long as they receive orders and tasks, they must be very careful to complete, and dare not make a mistake in ten thousand, otherwise, the punishment of the king of Yama is a very serious matter.
After a long time, nine figures came from far to near, they all walked with a steady pace, exuding the breath of a king between their gestures, and the one who came was the remaining nine palace Yama kings, each of them wore light cloth clothes to travel, and after a while, they came to the front of the Yama king.
King Qin Guang, who was walking in the forefront, clasped his hands and said slowly: "King Yama, I've kept you waiting!" β
King Yama also stood up at this time, and replied, "Everyone is the head of a palace, and there are many affairs at hand, so I should wait for a while." "Although King Yama is the head of the ten halls of Yama, he has great respect for the other Yamas, and this is the demeanor of a king.
The King of Equality also spoke: "Brother Yama, the burden of the Netherworld is on you, and it is really hard for you!" β
"For the sake of the stability of the underworld, these are nothing, I wonder if you have all taken care of the things at hand?" King Yama asked again.
At this time, the Wheel King replied: "Don't worry, it's not the first time we've gone there, and we'll come here after everything at hand has been settled." β
"Well, that's good, whether it's the first time or the last time, we have to do it well, our Ten Halls of Hades represent the Netherworld, don't be made a big mistake by a small mistake, the time is almost up, it's time for us to go, be sure to arrive on time!" King Yama earnestly gestured to the rest of the Yamas.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the king of Yama, and he will not allow a little sloppiness in doing anything, and he is also very important to the details, and all the kings of Yama nodded in agreement after hearing this, and did not say anything more.
Although the Ten Hall Yama Kings are the supreme rulers of the underworld, they also have their own pressures, and these pressures are not only attached to their own jurisdiction, but also the power that is higher than their Ten Hall Yama Kings.
These figures who are above the Ten Halls of Hades will basically not show up, nor will they participate in the management of the underworld at will, but once there is a major disaster in the Netherworld, and this disaster is so severe that even the Ten Halls Hades cannot be solved, they will appear.
At the same time, the gray earth ghost took the dragon spirit to a very imposing house in the ghost city, this house is like an ancient building, the area is wide, this place is the stronghold of the ghost force in the ghost city.
"This is the place where we stop ghosts, you can rest here for a while, and the ghost lord of the four kings will come here to meet you, please wait for a while!" The Grey Dirt Ghost also said to him politely.
"I'm sorry for you!" Long Dao Ling replied, but the gray earth ghost didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside.
At this time, Long Daoling did not hesitate to summon Yao Ji, Red Sleeves, Bai Qi, Tiger King, and the three ghosts of water, fire and thunder, and as soon as they appeared, they looked at the surrounding environment, and the Tiger King also asked in surprise: "Ghost King, is this a ghost city?" β
"That's right, this is the stronghold of the ghost in the ghost city, let's stay here for the time being, and the ghost ghost, one of the four kings of the ghost brake, will come here, if you are bored, you will go around first." Long Dao Ling gestured to the group of ghosts.
Yao Ji also smiled when she heard this: "Ghost master, you will take us to the ghost town later, we have been ghosts for so long, and it is the first time that we have come to this ghost city, so we have to take a good look." β
"No problem, I'm going to go to the ghost town to learn about the environment and location." Long Daoling also agreed with the answer.
After a long time, the figure of the ghost ghost also entered the ghost town, everyone acted according to the plan, and he also left the evil ghost world first, and went to the ghost city of Fengdu to meet Long DaolingΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·
