I looked at the old cat in surprise and stammered, "Little...... Brother, fuck you from behind? Aren't you in front? ”

The old cat also looked at me in amazement, his face was full of questions, and from his expression, I could see that even the old cat himself did not think that he actually walked from behind us.

After I asked, everyone was very surprised to see the old cat's expression.

"Damn, I just thought that something was going to happen after being safe for so long, but I never expected such a strange situation. I've heard of ghosts hitting walls and getting lost, but I've never seen this happen when I walk up stairs. Hell yes! The bald head said indignantly.

The staircase we are walking on now is only a stretch, and here the staircase is zigzag upwards, and in this case, the old cat has come from behind without noticing, which is almost impossible. I wouldn't even think of something like that, but it just came out in such a grand way.

"We're supposed to be walking the same path over and over again." The old cat walked up and said to us calmly.

He then asked us rhetorically, don't we think the staircase we have been walking for too long?

After the old cat said this, I looked up at the steps, from the time we stepped on the stairs to now, although we did not walk fast, but this staircase is not long, I counted the steps here There are a total of nineteen steps, according to common sense, we should have walked to the upper stairs a long time ago, but we are still in the same place.

I stared at the stairs at my feet, unable to understand what was going on. The staircase has no mechanism, it is a real pure gold staircase, and we are going up again, how can this happen?

At this time, Lin Xihui observed the stairs and said to us, "There is something wrong with this staircase. The number of tiers of the ladder has meaning. ”

Then Lin Xihui said that these nineteen stairs refer to the nineteen layers of hell in the underworld.

I immediately interjected and said to her, "The statement on the number of hell layers is still relatively uniform, and there are records in China and abroad, isn't hell eighteen layers?" How can there be an extra layer? ”

The look on her face became serious, and she explained, as I said, that most people think that there are nine Yamas and eighteen layers of hell in the underworld, and each Yama is in charge of two levels of hell. In fact, the orthodox version is that there are no eighteen layers of hell in the underworld, corresponding to the nine halls of Yama. There is no one in charge of the two layers of hell in the Nine Palaces, but there is also the king of Hades in the underworld, and the king of Hades is in charge of the last layer of hell, that is, the nineteenth layer of hell.

The nine halls of the underworld are: the first hall, Qin Guangwang Jiang, who is in charge of life and death in the world, in charge of the good and bad in the world, and the good life, and those who have made two halves of the merit will be sent to the tenth hall for distribution, and they are still put into the world, and the male will become female, and the female will become male. Those who have more evil and less good are escorted to the high platform on the right side of the temple.

The second hall, the king of Chujiang, is in charge of the living earth mansion, also known as the cold ice mansion of the stripping pavilion, and there are 16 small prisons, where those who hurt people's limbs in the sun, rape and steal and kill the living, are pushed into this prison, and they are sent to 16 small prisons to suffer.

The third hall, Emperor Yu of the Song Dynasty, was in charge of the black rope hell, and those who rebelled against the elders and instigated lawsuits were pushed into this prison, and were sentenced to hanging upside down, gouging out eyes, and scraping bones, and transferred to the fourth hall after completing their sentences.

The fourth hall, the five senses Wang Lu, is in charge of the Great Hell, also known as the Hell, and there are 16 small hells.

The fifth hall, the Yama Heavenly Son Bao, is in charge of calling the Great Hell and the Sixteen Heart Prisons. Whoever is relieved to this temple is escorted to Wangxiangtai, so that when he hears that his family in the world has suffered all kinds of things because of his sins, he will be pushed into this prison, and he will be carefully investigated for any evil, and then sent to the sixteen small prisons of the heart, hooked out his heart, thrown with snake food, and his body will be beheaded, and he will suffer all day, and then send another temple.

In the sixth hall, the king of the six cities, the head of the city shouted the great hell, and the city of death, and set up sixteen small prisons. Those who disobey and are unfilial will be divided by two little ghosts with a saw. Anyone in the world who complains about heaven and earth, and weeps for drowning in the north, will be sent to this prison. If you investigate the incident, you will also be punished by beating with an iron cone and burning your tongue.

The seventh hall, Taishan Wang Dong, is in charge of the hot and annoying hell, also known as the grinding meat sauce hell, where the Yang world takes the remains of the medicine, and the person who leaves the relatives is sent to this prison. Sending a small prison again. After suffering for a long time, he was transferred to the eighth temple and sent to prison for investigation. In addition, anyone who steals, makes false accusations, extorts, or kills for money will be punished by being thrown into the oil pot.

The eighth hall, the king of the city, Huang, is in charge of the great heat and annoyance of the hell, also known as the annoyed pot hell, and there are 16 small prisons. Anyone who is unfilial in the world and makes his parents and aunts depressed and troubled will be thrown into this prison.

The ninth hall, the equal king Lu, is in charge of the iron network of Fengdu City. Those who kill people in the Yang world, set fires, and behead the Fa-rectification, are sent to the main hall, and they are punished with hollow copper stakes, chained their hands and feet, fanned the fire, burned their hearts and livers, and were punished in hell with their hair.

The tenth hall is in charge of the king of Hades himself, and he is in charge of the dungeon of the underworld, and the demon city, the soul-destroying and ferocious aura of the undead god phantom demon. The gods and demons were cut into three pieces by the dragon slaying knife here, one was used to burn their aura with ghost fire, one was used to freeze their grievances, and the last one was forged with ghost fire and ice, and then it would be sent to the rest of the main hall.

The staircase hierarchy here is arranged according to this, because in the ten halls of Yama, these ten halls are arranged according to the hexagrams of the eight trigrams, so that there will be thousands of changes between the underground halls of Yama, and this change is also called "rebirth".

Before Lin Xihui was finished, the bald head became impatient, and he interrupted Lin Xihui's words, saying that he would go up the stairs again by himself, and let a few of us watch here to see what kind of change it was.

Before we could answer anything, the bald head walked upward. Lin Xihui stopped talking at this time, but looked intently at the bald head walking upward. The bald figure was gradually moving away from us, and everything seemed very normal, but when the bald head reached the end of this staircase and was about to step up another flight of stairs, the bald head was in a dead end with the staircase, and we didn't see the bald head. But a second later, I heard the sound of the bald head "fuck it" behind me, and I knew that the bald head was coming back from behind us.

Through this close observation, we also found that this staircase was normal at first, and it was only at the "junction" of the two stairs that the problem appeared.

"When we came up just now, I remember that there was no word on the stairs, why ...... now?"

After Team Zhang's words were finished, several of us also looked down at our feet, only to see those hieroglyphs on the stairs under our feet.

"I was right, this place is indeed related to the nineteenth layer of hell. This hieroglyph is the symbol of the "Demon City"! Lin Xihui said as she pointed to a hieroglyph at her feet.
