Just as I was frightened, Bai Wuchang pointed to the front and said, "King Ming, let's go see the punishment of whipping!" ”

I had to bite the bullet and follow behind Black and White Impermanence to a place full of long chairs.

It's just that those chairs are not used to sit, but are full of naked ** male and female ghost criminals, or facing the sky, or lying on the chairs.

In the midst of the mist, a thick whip appeared out of thin air on each chair. The whip was covered with barbed iron spikes, and at the command of the ghost, the whips were thrown at the ghost prisoner who was tied to a long chair.

But in the midst of the wailing, every time the whip was struck hard, when it was lifted again, it seemed to rain blood in the air, and the whip barbed was covered with flesh.

Those ghost criminals who turned their backs upwards were bloodied by the whip, and their skin was opened, revealing their white bones.

What's worse is that those who are facing the sky on their backs, whipped with whips, and have no complete flesh in their chests and abdomen. The blood was flowing, the heart was beating, and the barbs on the intestines to the whip were pulled straight out of the stomach and waved in the air.

I silently continued to walk forward, and then I saw a lot of cutting boards erected in front of me.

I couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Impermanence, in this living hell in the second hall of the Yin Division, is there a place for ghost criminals to cook and eat?" ”

Hei Wuchang snorted and said: "These evil ghosts, who planted their own karmic roots in life, and should be punished after death, are all hungry ghosts, how can they have food?" ”

I was stunned, since I don't cook, what is the purpose of these cutting boards here? Cold sweat broke out from my forehead again. I stretched out my hand to wipe my sweat, but I didn't get anything, and then I realized that it was not my physical body that entered this hell, but just my primordial spirit sleepwalking in the underworld.

I saw that the ghost criminal, whose hands were tied behind his back, was escorted by the ghost pawn to the huge chopping board. In front of the cutting board, a number of fierce and sturdy men suddenly appeared, some holding glittering axes, others holding black hacksaws.

After a while, those ghost criminals lost their breath and were cut into many small pieces by the anvil, their organs were still twitching, and there were painful expressions on their heads, and even the chopped fingers were slowly squirming on the cutting board.

Seeing this, the ghost pawn with the axe was furious, and wielded the giant axe viciously, and in a few moments, the ghost criminals were reduced to meat paste like stuffing.

The devils used axes to put the puddle of meat back together, and in a few moments, the meat mud regrouped into its original appearance of ghost criminals.

Before the ghost criminals who had just recovered their bodies could open their mouths to beg for mercy, the axes and hacksaws cut off their bodies again.

I sighed, but I saw that there were many more ghost criminals in front of me who were tied to the iron stake by the ghost soldiers. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, how would these ghost criminals be dealt with, he was shocked to find that the cold aura around him was even worse.

Those ghost criminals were so frozen that their teeth were chattering, tears and snot flowed, and in a short time, the ghost criminal's whole body was completely covered by a large crystal clear icicle.

The ghost pawn stepped forward and knocked on the ice, and the ice shattered, each piece of broken ice was mixed with the limbs of the ghost criminal, and the pieces fell to the ground, invisibly breaking the ghost prisoner into countless pieces.

When the ice cube falls, a flame blows towards the ice block from the sky. The ice cubes disappeared suddenly, and the ghost criminals' limbs that were frozen in the ice cubes were automatically spliced together piece by piece.

When the entire ghost criminal's limbs were just spliced together, the cold wind struck again, and the ghost prisoner was frozen in the giant ice again.

When I lamented the harsh punishment in the Great Hell and the misery of all of them, Bai Wuchang told me: "King Ming, you don't have to feel sorry for them, these ghost criminals all created their own karma in the Yang World, and they deserve this punishment. The king of Chujiang in the second hall of Yin Si is upright and upright, and he is in charge of the living hell, and the criminals who fall into this are all wicked criminals who violate the law, violate the law and discipline, create countless karma, and do not regret until death. ”

I was speechless, and Bai Wuchang said: "King Ming, what you have seen is only a mortal who has been convicted of a crime at the first hall of Qin Guangwang after his death, and must be escorted to the second hall to receive a greeting gift. Whoever commits iniquity in the world and does not accumulate merit will be punished after death. ”

Hei Wuchang said: "Brother Bai, King Ming has seen the punishment set by the palace, when the time comes, let's take him to meet King Chujiang!" ”

Bai Wuchang said: "King Ming, due to the negative karma of the previous life, these ghosts will be infinitely tormented in hell. But karma also has an end day, and other karma can be transformed when it matures. They can still be reborn.

I sighed, "In that case, I hope that these suffering ghosts will soon dissipate their karma and be freed from their suffering." Zen Master Zhikong also once told me this principle, but I didn't expect to see it today, it was even more tragic! ”

Suddenly, a palace appeared, and I don't know when, I was already standing in this palace with black and white impermanence.

In the middle of the palace, it is arranged like a public hall in the ancient mortal world, and the plaque of "King Chujiang of the Second Palace" is hung on it, and a person sits on the desk, with a white face and a short beard and a red robe.

I already understood in my heart that this was the king of Chujiang surnamed Li, and hurriedly saluted the king of Chujiang.

King Chu Jiang just smiled slightly, and I saw that on both sides of the desk, there were judges and ghost pawns, and there was a ghost criminal kneeling below, waiting for King Chu Jiang's verdict.

When King Chujiang finished his sentence one by one, and all the ghost soldiers escorted the ghost criminals to each hell to be punished, he said to me: "King Ming, you have seen the punishment of my second palace now, can you have some understanding?" ”

I replied respectfully: "King Chujiang is above, and the little one has already understood that if a mortal is alive and does not cultivate virtue and accumulate virtue, he will not be able to escape the torture after death. I just don't know, which ghosts are to be punished so severely? ”

King Chu Jiang smiled and said, "King Ming, listen to me." Our company is in charge of the Great Hell, and the criminals who fall into this hell are all evildoers who have violated the law, violated the law and discipline, created countless karma, and will not regret until death. ”

"For example, in the yang world, deceive the public to play with the law and discipline to guide the people who have disasters; or those who take advantage of their positions of power, take advantage of them, and suck the people's cream; or spells to bewitch people, seek property, or abduct young people, force good people to become prostitutes, or form evil gangs, smuggle and sell drugs, fish and meat villagers, or defraud people in gambling, illegally cheat marriages, forge securities, sell counterfeit medicines, disturb order, endanger their health, and so on, all of them are sent to my palace for trial after being sentenced by King Qin Guang in one hall. For example, those who have made mistakes in the yang world will receive these punishments when they die. ”

I couldn't help but be silent, and asked after a while: "May I ask King Chujiang, are all the ghost criminals sent from the First Hall going through such torture?" ”

King Chu Jiang said: "King Ming, not really. What you have just seen are pillars of fire, iron beds, steel forks, sword blades, ploughs, whippings, anvils, ice and other punishments, which are aimed at the ghost criminals who have committed particularly serious crimes. These ghosts, and other ghosts who have not undergone these punishments for less serious crimes, will be sent to sixteen small hells to serve their sentences after my sentence. ”

"The judge's record book examines the number of events committed, the duration of the incident, and whether they have caused harm or caused serious incidents, and determines which hell they will go to, and how long they will be sentenced."

"After it was found out that they had committed crimes in the Yang World, after my judgment, I ordered the hideous, red-haired and other ghosts to be pushed into the Great Hell to suffer. In addition, there are those who are sent to the small hell to suffer according to the size of their sins. After the above sentences are completed, they are transferred to the third temple, where the punishment is increased and they are sent to the hell of this temple to suffer. ”

I asked in surprise, "King Chu Jiang, in addition to these punishments just now, are there sixteen little hells?" Why didn't I see it? ”

King Chu Jiang laughed and said, "King Ming, this is just like your mortal world. My temple is the equivalent of a detention center, and after the sentence is completed, they have to be taken to the corresponding place of execution to begin their official sentence. These sixteen little hells are all behind my palace. ”

King Chu Jiang suddenly said very seriously: "King Ming, you have just seen the punishment in the living hell, as for the sixteen small hells, you can listen to it, go and understand it yourself, and then you have to hurry up and go to the third hall." ”

I heard that King Chu Jiang had finished reporting the names of the Sixteen Little Hells, and although he couldn't fully understand how he was punished for a while, he could already imagine how terrible the Sixteen Little Hells were.

It turns out that these sixteen hells are: a small hell of black clouds and sand; two small hells of dung, urine and sludge; three five-pronged little hells; four hungry little hells; five thirsty little hells; six pus-and-blood little hells; Seven Little Hells with Bronze Axes; Eight more bronze axes and small hells; Nine Iron Armored Little Hells; Ten small hells; Eleven Little Chicken Hell; Twelve Little Hells of the Grey River; Thirteen cut-off little hells; Fourteen Sword Leaf Little Hells; Fifteen little hells of fox wolves; Sixteen little icey hells.

I was about to say goodbye to King Chu Jiang, when suddenly a coldness came out of my heart.

I had just seen those tragic scenes, which made me overlook something, and then I remembered that among the tortured ghost criminals, although they could not see their faces clearly, there seemed to be some shadows that I was quite familiar with.

I was terrified, who could these shadows be? I thought to myself, these things he had inadvertently noticed must be people I knew well.

Who am familiar to me? I vaguely saw the people I knew who were still alive or dead, and in contrast, I only felt that almost everything they did in the Yang World was related to the living hell of the Second Hall of Yin Si in charge of the King of Chujiang.

In my voice of regret, I suddenly felt a tightness in my heart, and King Chu Jiang seemed to see through what I was thinking, and said with a smile: "King Ming, have you seen many familiar people from it?" ”

"You've now truly realized the Jizo Bodhisattva's intention to let you come to the Netherworld to browse, right? Many of the friends or relatives you know in the Yang world are also people who have gone to hell, and because they are destined for you and are accumulating good things to change their ways, their figures are slowly becoming blurred. If they can always finish well and eliminate their karma with merit, then they will not have to be tortured in hell when they die. ”

I was very surprised, and hope suddenly ignited in my heart, and I quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the king of Chujiang for advice.
