Chapter 197: The Netherworld

After finding both sides of the organization, an official article about hello, hello, everyone, Yu Zujia patted the police station chief on the shoulder and asked, "Where is the pony?" He didn't come? "

The head of the police station saluted cigarettes and said, "He's gone!" He talked about meeting a woman.

Lao Wang hurriedly asked, "What does this woman look like?" The police chief described it. Blunder! It's Shen Shuiyue! There must be another door! The suspect got out of the other door! Wang shouted.

Yu Zujia was silent for a moment and asked, "What's the pony...... No, where did they get separated? Or let's go back and find out. "He felt very strongly that he should have left this place earlier.

But he is not yet accustomed to using his feelings as a reason to judge actions.

The watchful Zen master brought the maidens to the altar.

The Zen master looked around and saw that the altar was surrounded by mirrors on three sides, and the altar owner was sitting in the middle, with a star official called the female earth bat standing on one side and two women standing on the other side, and beside the woman was a cradle, and there was a sleeping baby in the cradle.

With a wave of his hand, the Xuanwu altar master walked up with a utensil, placed it in front of the altar master, and then stepped back. "Do you know this?" The altar owner pointed to the vessel with his toes.

It is the lost property of the Palace Museum...... Shi Shenfu's version of the Ganshi Star Sutra.

The Zen Master didn't speak, but wondered in his heart: What do you want to do? "You should know Him well!" The altar master continued to ask. "Nonsense!" The watchman said in his heart, but still did not speak. "Your Yin God lacks qi and blood, so there is no energy to descend on reincarnation.

That's right! The altar master still said slowly. Blunder! It's not you! The Zen Master still said in his heart.

The altar master smiled and said, "How about I transfer some mana from other Yin gods to you and help you reincarnate?" ”

"How did the sun come out of the west!" The Zen Master finally couldn't hold back. "Finally spoke." The altar master sighed lightly: "Maybe the world will change soon, and the sun will really come out of the west!" The watchman sneered. Of course, I don't do business without capital.

I help you, and I want you to do something for me. The altar master said directly. This time I trust my ears. "Watch the Zen Master." It is said that this calamite star can measure the weather and magnetic field energy. And it can be used for practice.

I'm interested.

If you introduce me to me, I'll help you and let your Yin God go. ”

"You think I believe you?" The watchman blurted out.

Immediately after that, another thought came to me: Why don't I use the Ganshi Star Sutra to escape? All my supernatural powers can be multiplied through the Ganshi Star Sutra. "You can try it!" The altar owner seemed to see through his thoughts.

The Zen Master involuntarily walked over and reached out to take the Ganshi Star Sutra.

Something strange happened, as soon as his hand touched the Ganshi Star Sutra, the Ganshi Star Sutra suddenly and silently split in half. "Huh!" He couldn't help but scream.

The owner of the altar also saw it, and hurriedly stretched out his head to look.

Immediately turned around and said sharply: "What's the matter?" Call the two men in charge of the incantations. Two women were summoned. He knelt in front of the altar master and said, "When I moved this spell, I found a crack in the spell, and I thought it was like this, so I didn't say it."

It's just that I was careful when I moved.

The Xuanwu Altar Master picked up half of them and looked at them, then suddenly glared at them and asked, "Really?" "A woman couldn't hold back and said: When I went to move, I found that it was cracked on the ground, and I didn't dare to say it, but I moved it over a little." I hate dishonest people! The altar owner waved his hand and asked for the two men to be brought down, and then pointed to the female earth bat and said, "Go and collect the souls of the two of them."

Save the mana and come back. The two women trembled, but they didn't dare to say a word and were taken away.

The Zen Master of Shouwang also felt a little percolated in his heart! "Look, if you are given a chance to be a new person, you are still hesitant...... Now the opportunity is gone! The altar master said, "I still have to find this version of the Antiquities Star Sutra again before I can give you a chance to be reincarnated as a human being." The altar master waved his hand again and called for the Zen Master to go down. You're fooling me again! The Zen Master suddenly became furious and rushed towards the Xuanwu Altar Master.

The altar owner naturally raised his hand to block it, and then a blood talisman flew out of his sleeve and looked at the face of the Zen master, and the altar master thought that he could immediately subdue him! But something incredible happened to him...... The Zen Master actually waved his hand and fanned the blood talisman away.

Then he leapt and sped towards the mirror that was dedicated to the Advent Body, and something even stranger happened: the mirror was as soft as a piece of cloth...... From the point where he touched it, it was as if it were not a wall, but air.

Eventually, the mirror enveloped him like a cloth and continued to sink inward, farther and farther away...... until it disappears completely.

It's all just a matter of seconds...... Even a figure like the Xuanwu Altar Lord didn't react.

There was an exclamation outside, presumably because even the treasure mirror dedicated to the advent body had disappeared! The sleeping Advent was also awakened...... Get out of control! The Xuanwu Altar Lord looked at the empty walls, not believing his eyes.

I landed on a high slope.

I heard the voice of the Zen Master: "Who are you?" I said, "I've helped you old monk." The Yin God who watched the Zen master was squeezed into my light person's body: "In that case, then let me out!" "I followed the instructions of the watchful Zen master, found a big tree and opened its mouth under the shade of the tree! A cloud of smoke floated out and floated to the heel of the tree, and the smoke shrank into a small ball: "It's still too bright!" A very small voice came.

I picked a leaf and covered it with Him: "Why don't I dig you a hole and hide in it?" ”

"Okay!" The watchman said, and then asked curiously, "Who are you?" How can it be so powerful! I said, "I don't know!" I was just distracted, but I was surprised to find that I knew a lot of magic...... Sometimes I automatically know what to do with it at one glance.

It's weird! The watchman said, "You just now knew that the mirror was empty?" ”

"It's not!" I said, "I just feel like I'm rushing towards the mirror to go where I want to go!" ”

"Where do you want to go?" The watchman asked, "Where is this?" I said, "This should be outside the Xuanwu Altar Lord's array."

I want to save someone. ”

"This is the Dharma realm of Buddhism that stole a teacher to come to our Haiyin Temple...... Since he is in his Dharma realm, he will not be able to find us at any time. "Shouwang Zen Master said." That's it! I said, "I'll put a little formation in front of your hole, and it won't be easy for him to find you." ”

"What about you?"

"I can't care about so much, I have to find someone first!" I say.

At this moment, the earth shook slightly.

The scenery around hasn't changed, but it feels a little hazy.

I had a strange feeling.

The watchman shouted, "Oh my God! How did you get to Songli? ”

"What did you say?" I asked, "What Songli?" The Shouwang Zen master said: "Our Haiyin Temple is a line of Buddhism, Buddhism has a special understanding of the space situation, it is said that the originator of the year Shakyamuni is a person who is particularly keen on studying the structure of heaven, earth and the universe...... In general, we can only survive in the human world, and outside the human world, we are all non-human ...... Including the heavenly court, the earthly mansion, the cave heaven blessed land, etc., and the yin qi here is ...... Or the negative emotions are very heavy, and now we are definitely in a place of imitation of the underworld. ”

"Oh!" I suddenly remembered Dr. Li's words and asked, "Then Songli is the Netherworld?" Is there an eighteen layers of hell? Or how many netherworlds are there? Like Hades's ......"

"I don't know the exact number, it should be a lot!" The watchman said: "They are all four ancient civilizations, and ancient Babylon and other countries also have their own underworld. In Egypt, for example, the god of the dead was Anubis, the god of the jackal. As the Egyptian saying goes, the god of death is man's companion. If this is true, then no matter how much the Egyptians revered the main gods Ra and Amun, they would eventually have to settle accounts with Anubis. Anubis is the god of the dead and is therefore not worshipped in public. If a person is too enthusiastic about Anubis, he is usually considered to be engaged in evil activities. Regardless of the god a person believes in, Anubis is the superior of the dead, and even the priests of the god Ra will enter the kingdom of Anubis sooner or later.

The people of the ancient civilization believed that the underworld of Anubis was an indifferent and monotonous place, where the soul flew blindly like a bat, gradually forgetting the memories of life and losing self-consciousness, until it became an unknown thing with no mind and only noisy screaming. The remembrance of the dead is food for these souls, so the remembrance of ancestors is seen as an obligation of children. The Egyptian cemetery was called the Anubis Garden, and the deceased were brought to the gate and handed over to the priests. After the ritual preparations, the priests would bury the bodies in mausoleums and tombs built by the priests at the expense of the deceased's family, which were said to cause a death-like slumber. The priests of Anubis act as a bridge between the present and the afterworld, and rarely step out of the Anubis Garden; Similarly, the Anubis Gardens are off-limits to the living. An altar was set up outside the walls of the Anubis Garden, where the living could come and offer prayers to the deceased and offerings to the priests. And in ancient Greece, the goddess of vengeance, who was born in the night, existed only to punish sinners! From the tyrants who offended the Olympian heavenly realm and ruined the lives of the people, to the greedy and deceitful, deceitful, deceitful and filthy sinners, she can always keenly smell the smell and traces of sin, whether the sinners are hiding in the world or the underworld, she will always be with her. She torments the flesh of sinners and torments their souls. Today, however, all that remains of Nemesis is toys purchased in the Halloween Pumpkin Shop.

After that, it was the era of the Three Flash Religion, and it was needless to say that the Nestorian religion was self-explanatory. Celestial believers believe that the Qur'an is a scripture revealed by Allah and must be believed and observed, and must not be slandered or tampered with. The Teachings of the Great Food also acknowledges that the scriptures revealed by Allah before the Qur'an are like the Bible, but after the coming of the Qur'an, believers should act according to it. It is believed that there will be an end of the world between this world and the Hereafter, when the end of the world will be destroyed, and Allah will do the "Last Judgment", when all the dead will be resurrected and judged, sinners will go to hell, and the righteous will ascend to heaven. In addition, the Great Food Religion also believes in "pre-determination", which holds that everything in the world is pre-arranged by Allah and cannot be changed by anyone, and that only obedience and patience conform to Allah's wishes. The Celestial Sect believes that angels are invisible beings created by Allah with "light", sent by Allah to administer the kingdom of heaven and hell, to convey Allah's will to the earth, and to record the merits and deeds of the world. There are four angels in the Qur'an: Jebr'il, Mi'a'ilai, Azra'il'a, and Avatar Rafi'rai, who are responsible for delivering Allah's commands and revelations, administering secular affairs, presiding over death, and blowing the trumpet of the Last Judgment. Manichaeism says that Zoroaster gave birth to a son every thousand years, and he appointed a third son as a savior in order to purge the devil once and for all and bring mankind into "the kingdom of light, justice, and truth." After death, a person enters the "bridge of judgment" and decides to go to hell or heaven according to what he has done in life, but at the end of the world he will be judged once at the end of the world, and the soul of the wicked can be removed from sin and resurrected. Planting is a good deed, so the farmer is also called the Aryan.

The Last Judgment of the Three Flashes is similar in other myths, such as the Irish's long-standing fear of the Headless Horseman, which stems more from the belief and worship of the god Hela during the obscurantist period. Hela is the daughter of Loki and the giantess Alberda. She and her dog rule the Nibel Buttercup of Northern Europe, the "Land of the Dead"! She has placed in her kingdom the sick and the dead of old age, and the fog of evil spreads in this dark land, and her eerie palace is synonymous with hell. After the death of Badr, the god of light, Hela refused to return his soul to Odin, leading to Fenrir's Winter, which eventually led to the fall of Ragnarok and the destruction of the world.

From this point of view, the dungeons of the West are the same thing, like the legend of Bahamut. The story of the 496th night of the Arabian Nights tells that after seeing Bahamut, Jesus once fainted and fell unconscious for three days and three nights. Bahamut is like a giant fish, floating on a sea without foam, and on its back is a giant ox, which carries a ruby mountain on its back, and on the mountain is a heavenly angel, and on the head of the angel is the sixfold hell, above the hell is the earth, and above the earth is the sevenfold heaven. Beneath Bahamut is an endless ocean, below which is the dark abyss, and below which is the ocean of fire, and at the bottom lies a huge serpent, which would have swallowed all the creation in its belly if it were not for the fear of Allah. He is so big that the human line of sight simply cannot reach it,...... However, this is only the plural form of Behemoth, "Bahamoh", which was misspelled as "Bahamut" after it spread to Arabia, and the legend about it also represents the Arab cosmology, which has undergone great changes.

There are different opinions about what happened three generations ago, and Zhou died in 800 years. However, people have a place to live, and ghosts have a place to gather. Where is the place where the demons are? The first to accept ghosts was the Great Northwest, to be more precise, Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain is not only a gathering area for gods, but also a gathering area for ghosts. Like New York, there are both the rich on Wall Street and the vast slums. It is a suitable place for gold panning, successful people enter the emperor and general, and those who fail become beggars, and become kings and losers, there is nothing to complain about. Perhaps in the eyes of the people at that time, the immortals belonged to public resources, and the arrangement of the immortals was an image project, so the property management of the immortal agglomeration area was particularly vigorous, rating stars and creating brands; As for ghosts, people believe that they belong to the private industry, and as long as the ancestral tablets are provided, everything will be fine, so the management of ghosts is seriously lagging behind from legislation to administration. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, not only did there not have any decent court organizations to control ghosts, but even civil organizations were relatively rare. The common people basically treat ghosts by tricks, and when they encounter lonely ghosts and wild ghosts, they simply send them away, letting them continue to wander in the world, without considering their fate. Even a philosopher like Zisan, who has made great achievements in famous studies, does not understand ghosts from the perspective of the community. In a way, people who have no organization to rely on are the loneliest, and so are ghosts. Therefore, the description of ghosts used to be so miserable: after death, not all souls can be reincarnated, and some souls cannot be dissipated, often condensed into a ball, gathered at the foot of Yin Mountain, only on the day of the winter solstice, the sun shines on Yin Mountain, then the souls have the opportunity to climb up along the rays of the sun, and those who climb through Yin Mountain can be reincarnated as a human being, and those who can't climb up have to be early next year. As the centralized dynasty of the great unification gradually moved towards standardization, the management of ghosts was gradually put on the agenda. Kunlun Mountain became the capital of the emperor, and ghosts were no longer accepted, and ghosts began to concentrate in the underworld, forming the concept of hell. The significance of this transformation is that the sacredness of Kunlun Mountain is further accentuated by the departure of ghosts, and the gods and ghosts are completely distinguished. In addition, if at first people thought that ghosts and sorcerers were concentrated in the northwest, humans and ghosts still operated in the same space, but now it has become a vertical distribution between heaven, the human world, and hell. In this way, the distance between humans and ghosts is no longer so close, and the netherworld where ghosts are active and the yang where people are active gradually form a difference. The gradual formation of the underworld may be more effective in spreading the idea of ghosts.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the god of Artemisia Mountain who controlled life and death was Tian Heng, and the first to become the master of the underworld was Taishan Mansion Jun, also known as Dongyue Emperor. Mount Tai was highly valued in the Qin and Han dynasties, and both Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once enshrined Zen in Mount Tai. If the emperor goes, the commoners don't go much, but ghosts can go, so Taishan gradually personified, became the king of Taishan's mansion, and has the staffing of the cabinet, and his subordinates have recruited a group of errand boys to manage people's souls. Dan Dao believed that the Emperor Dongyue dominated the rich, the poor, and the eighteen layers of hell in the world. But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Heavenly Master Dao arose...... At that time, they were still called Wudou Midao, and the Yudu that had begun to take shape became the new land to which the eight ghosts belonged. The Emperor of the Northern Yin Emperor subordinate to the five ghost emperors: the Eastern Ghost Emperor Cai Yulei and Shen Tu, and the ghost gate of the Taozhi Mountain. Western ghost emperor Zhao Wenhe, Wang Zhenren, Zhihatsuka Mountain. The ghost emperors of the north, Zhang Heng and Yang Yun, ruled Luo Yu Mountain. Du Ziren, the ghost emperor of the south, ruled Luofu Mountain; The central ghost emperor Zhou begs and Ji Kang, and governs the calf mountain. The so-called underworld has been a self-contained system for the first time.

Later, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Northern Qi attacked Dandao, but the Northern Zhou supported Dandao. In the south, Lu Jingxiu and Tao Hongjing set up another divine court for Dandao, borrowed the Taoism of the three brothers of Maoshan in the south, and cast a holy place for Dandao to compete with Confucianism. Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty began to destroy the Buddha, and Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty in order to alleviate the contradictions between the Central Plains scholars and the Xianbei aristocracy, coupled with his personal belief in the Northern Heavenly Master, issued an edict to abolish the Buddhism and destroy the Buddhist temple to kill the monks. In order to achieve "the unification of the world" and eliminate the threat of the proliferation of monasteries, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty took measures to abolish Buddhism, and later expanded to the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty. At the same time, Buddhism and Taoism are also integrated with each other, Dandao absorbs the purpose of cause and effect reincarnation and hell, and Buddhism absorbs immortal magic and Lao Zhuang metaphysics. After the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the rise of Buddhism, the king of Yama and the king of Jizo began to emerge and took over the power to control the underworld. Wudou Midao resurrected in the name of Emperor Xudu, and also intervened. With six heavens to govern the six palaces, for the palace gods to stop the Yin Heavenly Palace, Taisha forgiveness Zong Heavenly Palace, Ming Chen Nai Guilty Wucheng Heavenly Palace, Tianzhao Sinful Qi Heavenly Palace, Zongling Seven Non-Heavenly Palace, Dare Si Lianwan Repeated Heavenly Palace...... This has created a situation of multiple management and many government decrees. With so many strongly communal institutions involved in the management of the underworld, the organization of hell was systematized.

From the point of view of the governing system, Hell belongs to the feudal system of enlightened absolutism and has a strong bureaucratic tendency. This is especially true of the Buddha's Gate Hell, with the exception of the Jizo King Bodhisattva. There are also ten halls of Yama: King Qin Guang, King Chujiang, Emperor Song, King of Qiguan, King of Yama, King of Equality, King Taishan, King of the City, King of Bian Cheng, King of the Wheel...... There are as many as ten deputy Hades, and there are root hells, near hells, and lonely hells. There are eight hells and eight cold hells. Among them, the eight hells are the most fundamental of this path, and they are full of fire, so they are also called "eight hot hells", which are similar to the "eternal fire" mentioned by Nestorianism. At the bottom is the terrifying Abi Hell, or Infernal Hell. The near-side hell is the Sixteen Wandering Heightened Hell. Each of the eight hot hells has four gates, and each gate has four minor hells, for a total of one hundred and twenty-eight hells. Add eight to one hundred and thirty-six hells. All sentient beings who come out of the Eight Heats Hell have to travel here one by one to suffer, so they are called "Wandering Increases." The Eight Cold Hell is extremely cold, and the beings here often mourn because of the cold, and their bodies are also frozen and discolored. Lonely Hell: This is a lonely and inhuman life in the mountains, rivers, etc., which can be said to be a hell on earth. It is felt by each person's own karma. There are also a number of generals and ministers: such as the chief judge Cui Fujun. The bull head from Buddhism is also called Apang, its shape is the bull head human body, holding a steel fork, and the power can row the mountain. According to the "Iron City Mud Plough Sutra", when Ah Pang was a man, because he was not filial to his parents, he became a bull-headed human body in the underworld after his death, serving as a patrol and a servant to search for escaped sinners. Horse face is also a famous soul messenger of the underworld, Buddhism originally only had a cow head, horse face is also called horse face rakshasa, the same from the Buddhist tantric "horse face Ming King" image, but that is a great god in the Tantric Buddhism, according to legend is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the underworld messenger is far away. When it was introduced into China, because the folk were most symmetrical and in pairs, they were equipped with horse noodles. As Hades' right-hand men, Ox Head and Horse Face were both jailers who carried out cruel punishments, and were responsible for slashing sinners who had fallen into hell with clubs and swords. To this day, in the city god temples all over the world, there are images of bulls and horses.

Since there are eighteen places in hell. Among them, King Qin Guang of the first hall and the king of the wheel of the tenth hall are responsible for screening new ghosts, determining their good and evil index, and giving instructions on how to deal with them. The rest of the eight halls are responsible for punishing ghosts who have committed various sins, and of course, this punishment is more cruel. For example, in "Journey to the West", if you come to open your mouth of mercy, you are full of compassion, and say to Sanzang: "Your eastern land is the southern Ganbu continent, just because the sky is high and the earth is thick, the things are wide and the people are dense, there is more greed and more killing, more lewdness and more deception; Do not follow the Buddhism, do not go to good karma, do not respect the three lights, do not value the five grains; Disloyalty, unfilial piety, unrighteousness, concealment, fighting and killing. He has created boundless iniquity, and he has been filled with sin, and he has been plagued by hell, so he has fallen into the underworld forever, and has suffered from many kinds of striking, and has changed into animals. There are many hairy horns, and they will pay their debts, and they will feed men. It will never fall into the nose, and those who cannot be exalted are all for this reason. Although there is a Confucian family in the teaching of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, the emperors have been one after another, and there is a punishment of hanging and beheading in vain. In the "Eighteen Mud Plough Sutra", the difference between the eighteen layers of hell is not mainly in the upper and lower space, but in the difference in time and criminal law, especially in time. If we compare it with the speed of time in the Yang world, the first level of hell is 3,750 years in the human world, and all beings here must live here for 10,000 years, and they can't die a day early, and this 10,000 years is equivalent to 13.5 billion years in the yang world. And because the time and life span of hell are multiplied in turn, when you reach the eighteenth layer of hell, it will be measured in billions of years, and such a long period of torture can be said to be a veritable catastrophe, and the painful and cruel scene is unimaginable and cruel to the world......

The Shouwang Zen Master sighed: "The Dharma realm in front of me is a simulated hell on earth, and it will not be able to break the formation until the moment, so I will explain it to you in detail from the beginning." The first layer of the "Eighteen Mud Plough Sutra", the hell of pulling out the tongue, all the people in the world, sowing discord, slandering and harming others, flamboyant tongue, clever arguments, lying and deceiving people. After death, he was sent to the hell of pulling out the tongue, the little ghost broke open the mouth of the person, clamped the tongue with iron tongs, and pulled it out raw, not at once, but elongated, dragged slowly, and then entered the hell of scissors and the hell of the iron tree. The second layer, Scissors Hell. In the sun, if a woman's husband dies prematurely and she is widowed, if you instigate her to remarry or match her up, then you will be sent to a hell of scissors and your ten fingers will be cut off! Not to mention that her husband was not dead yet, she asked Wang Po in "Water Margin", Pan Jinlian had no intention of seducing Ximen Qing, but Wang Po instigated her to curry favor with Ximen Daguan and gave her poison to poison Wu Dalang. Not to mention Pan Jinlian, what happened to Ximenqing, just talking about this princess, scissors hell is enough for her. The third layer, the Iron Tree Hell. Whoever separates his flesh and blood while alive, and instigates discord between father and son, brother, sister, and wife, will go to the Iron Tree Hell after death. The trees are all sharp, picked under the skin of the back of the people, and hung on the iron tree. After that, you will also enter the hell of pulling out the tongue, the fourth layer of the steamer hell, and the hell of the mirror of evil: if you commit a crime in the yang world, even if you don't spit out your true feelings, or go through the door, and go up and down to hide from the world and cross the sea, even if you escape the punishment, the so-called don't escape, there are still criminals who are on the run, and there will be a day of death in your life, right? Go to the underworld to report, enter the mirror hell, and show the guilt in this mirror. Then they went to different hells to suffer. The fifth layer, steamer hell: there is a kind of person, who has a short family on weekdays, and uses false rumors, frames, and slanders others. It is often referred to as a woman with a long tongue. When such a person dies, he is thrown into a steamer hell and thrown into a steamer to be steamed. Not only that, but after steaming, the cold wind blows, reshaping the human body, and bringing it to the hell of tongue pulling. The sixth layer, the Bronze Pillar Hell: Those who intend to set fire to the Bronze Pillar Hell for the purpose of destroying the evidence of the crime, take revenge, or set fire to the death. The imps strip you naked and make you hold a copper pillar tube with a diameter of one meter and a height of two meters. Burning charcoal fire in the cylinder, and constantly fanning the wind, soon the copper pillar cylinder is red, how do you feel? Have you ever watched "The God List"? Su Daji's cannon branded. The seventh layer, Daoshan Hell: Blasphemer, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, but you can't blaspheme him; Cattle killers, don't mention murder, just say that you killed cows, horses, cats, and dogs in your lifetime, because they are also life, and maybe their previous lives are also people, because the yin is different from the yang world, there is no distinction between high and low, cows, horses, cats, dogs, and people, and those who come are collectively called living beings. Those who commit one of the above two sins will be sent to the hell of Daoshan after death, stripped naked, and made to climb Daoshan Naked, depending on the severity of their crimes, and may "reside" on Daoshan Mountain. The eighth layer, iceberg hell: all wicked women who murder their husbands, communicate with others, and maliciously abort will be sent to iceberg hell after death. Let them undress and go up the iceberg. In addition, there are gambling habits, people who do not honor their parents, and who are unkind and unjust, which makes them iceberg. The ninth layer, oil pot hell: thieves rob, bully the good and the weak, abduct women and children, falsely accuse and slander others, seek to occupy other people's property, and the person who has a wife will be sent to the oil pot hell after death, stripping clothes and throwing them into the hot oil pot to turn them over, pop, snap! According to the severity of the plot, sometimes the guilty people have just come out of the iceberg hell, and they are escorted by the imp to the oil pot hell to warm up, this is the upper nine layers!

The lower nine floors are slightly different, but they can be more brutal, and the tenth floor, the Bull Pit Hell: This is a layer of hell for the redress of brutes. Those who are alive slaughter and abuse animals at will, basing your happiness on their suffering. Well, go to the bull pit hell after death. Thrown into the pit, several bison attacked, the horns were topped, the hooves were trampled, and it is recorded that there was a "knife boat hell" on the contrary. Eleventh Floor, Stone Pressing Hell: If a living person gives birth to a baby, no matter what the reason, such as the baby is born stupid and disabled; Or because of patriarchy and other reasons, the baby is drowned and abandoned. Such a person dies and is sent to a stone-crushed hell. It is a large square stone pond called a trough, on which a huge stone of the same size is hung with a rope, and a person is put into the pool, and the rope is cut with an axe, and the twelfth layer is the hell of the mortar: This prison is quite surprising, that is, when you are alive, if you waste food and trample on the grain, for example, you will throw away the leftover banquet, or throw away the food you don't like to eat in two bites. After death, he will be beaten into the hell of the mortar and put into the mortar to kill. The amazing thing is that if you talk while eating, especially swearing, swearing, and swearing, you will also be sent to hell after death. So remind everyone that it is best not to talk when eating, especially scolding the street. The thirteenth layer, the Hell of the Blood Pool: Those who do not respect others, do not honor their parents, are not upright, and are crooked will be sent to the Hell of the Blood Pool after death. Throw yourself into the pool of blood and suffer. I don't quite understand that here it is said that all those who have a difficult birth, vomit blood, bleed and die are so-called people who die when they see red, and they also throw themselves into the pool of blood and suffer after death? The fourteenth layer, death in hell: You must know that it is not easy to come to this world as a human body, and it is the opportunity given to you by Lord Yama. If you don't cherish it, go to commit suicide, such as cutting the veins to death, taking poison, hanging to death, etc., to anger the Lord of Yama, and after death, you will be put in prison for death. Don't think about being a human again. I advise those who are alive to live tenaciously no matter how difficult they are, because suicide is a sign of cowardice. Especially the silly boys who were martyred. The fifteenth level, the hell of punishment: It's rare now, but it's a great sin. That is, those who dig graves will be sent to hell and punished after death. The sixteenth layer, Volcanic Hell: This layer is more extensive, and those who harm the public and private interests, give and accept bribes, steal chickens and dogs, rob money, and set fires will enter the volcanic hell after death. Driven into a volcano and burned alive without dying. In addition, there are monks and Taoist priests who break the precepts. He was also driven into the volcano. The so-called layer should be overcrowded. The seventeenth layer, Stone Mill Hell: Those who trample on grains, thieves, corrupt officials, and oppress the people will be sent to the Stone Mill Hell after death. Grind into a meat sauce. After reshaping the human body and grinding again! In addition, there are monks who eat meat, and Taoist priests are like this. The eighteenth layer, the hell of knives and saws: cutting corners, deceiving superiors and subordinates, abducting women and children, buying and selling unfair people, will be sent to the hell of knives and saws after death. The clothes of the visitors were stripped naked, tied in a "large" shape to four wooden stakes, starting from the crotch to the head, and sawed to death. If the life span of the eighteen hells is based on the length of time spent in hell and the severity of the crime, one day is equal to 3,750 years in the world, 30 days is one month, and 12 days is one year, and after 10,000 years, that is, 13.5 billion years in the world, they are finally released from prison, and each hell is pushed back one by one, and each hell is twenty times more bitter than the previous one, and the life span is doubled, and when it comes to the eighteen hells, it is indescribably miserable, and it is impossible to calculate the date of release from prison.

Of course, the administration of hell is accountable to the superiors, from the city god to God. The Yama kings were neither subordinate nor mutually restrictive, and in the event of disagreement, the final adjudication power belonged to the Emperor. According to the principle of destiny, everyone's fate in the world is certain. Specifically, all life and death, wealth, and opportunities in the world are all controlled by the underworld - the fate of all people is recorded in the book of life and death, and the merit and demerits are recorded in the book of life and death, and based on the good and evil deeds of people in the world, according to the merits and faults of people in the yang world are converted into life span, official position and other indices, and corresponding rewards and punishments are made. There are often stories about a ghost who felt that he had died unjustly and went to the underworld to appeal and file a lawsuit. As soon as you come to complain, Hades will often order someone to check the record book and explain accordingly. If necessary, witnesses will be summoned from the yang world for another trial. Generally speaking, unjust souls can search for documents and archives in Hell at will, as long as they make reasonable requests. If there are relatives and friends who have passed away, working in the registry office, the people in the yang world can also know their fate in advance.

Therefore, in terms of specific management, the enlightenment of hell is manifested in the fact that it is more able to follow the principle of justice and fairness in handling affairs. The grievances in the world can basically be revealed in hell. This kind of story is more common, and it often reflects karma, punishing evil and promoting good. However, it is often said that "Hades is good, but imps are difficult", and many stories reflect the darkness of hell and the protection of officials. The more extreme ones are like "Xi Fangping" in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", even in hell, money is still omnipotent, and officials are as greedy for money, even more blatant than the world, reversing black and white. But Xi Fangping finally relied on suing the emperor, and finally overthrew a series of officials from the underworld from the little ghost to the city god to the Hades. Xi Fangping's case was an accidental situation, and in the end, the "ground" network was restored, and it was negligent but not leaky. In most stories, the rulers of the underworld are relatively honest and honest. Not only that, but the underworld also emphasizes humanity in dealing with things. It is not difficult to understand that hell is completely modeled after the human model, and all the officials of the underworld have the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, which is in line with the original intention of people to create the underworld. If the rulers of hell are not as clear as the yang, what is there to run after death? For example, there is a story in "Zi Bu Yu" that a wealthy merchant surnamed Xu bought a deserted land temple to build a villa, and the land lord went to Chenghuang to complain. According to the general idea, it is not easy for Chenghuang to kill this rich merchant? However, Chenghuang still detained the rich merchant in the underworld for interrogation according to the custom, and finally ruled that the ignorant was not guilty, but ordered the rich merchant to give up the land temple and let the troupe perform two more scenes to make amends. It not only emphasizes the fairness of the law, but also shows the human touch of the world.

Of course, there are too many things in charge of hell, on the one hand, the affairs of the ghosts in the underworld need to be managed, and on the other hand, the affairs of the human world need to be registered. In addition, the gods in the sky interfere in trivial matters such as life and death from time to time, and there are many politics, which naturally adds chaos to chaos. In addition, human beings are the most difficult and complex animals to understand, and even if Confucianism claims that human nature is inherently good, it is difficult to locate specific individuals. Therefore, it is often difficult for the immortals to make a decision when discussing someone's specific merits and demerits. For example, once, someone dreamed that Confucius, Guan Yu and others were discussing the life span and official fortune of a filial son, this old man was extremely filial to his mother, but at the same time he had an ambiguous relationship with the neighbor woman, and several immortals and saints had their own opinions and disputes. This kind of thing, even for saints and immortals, is very tricky to theorize. Because they often have to deal with similar trivial matters, the gods are like hot wheels, and they are busy. There is a person named Luo Zhifang, who became the city god of Pucheng County after his death, and contacts his family through Fuji in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. Once, he complained to his family, saying, "You don't know, the underworld is busier than the yang, and there are so many things to do that overtime is common. Only the Mid-Autumn Festival can be paid off throughout the year, and the weather must be fine on this day, without wind or rain, before you can go far away. I'm lucky to have a chance to talk to you. Some of my senior colleagues haven't been in touch with their families for years. "Even if you're busy, there's still something to deal with. At the same time, because administrative affairs are made public, there are many people who inquire about them, and the management of the underworld is particularly serious, so it is often very procrastinating.

There are examples of impersonations in the world to go to college, coincidentally, in ancient times, there was an ordinary person named Yin Tingqia, who died early because he didn't make any mistakes, and the land lord taught him to go to the underworld to appeal. As a result, on the way, I met the god Lion King, who had a great sense of justice and was very nosy, so he transferred the files layer by layer, inquired about the person responsible for handling the matter, the superior of the person responsible, and the superior of the superior, and kept inviting the king of Yama. The result of the final inspection was that it was the soul of "Yin Tingzhi" that was to be hooked in the underworld, and Yin Tingzhi's uncle happened to be a secretary in the registration department of the register of life and death in the underworld. After the original circumstances of the matter are clarified, the responsible persons will be dealt with level by level, and Yin Tingqiao will be released. Although the handling is fair and impartial, this lengthy procedure and the speed of procrastination often affect the normal order of life in the yang world. In this sense, the governance system of hell is actually a projection of the human dynasty, and of course, it is not simply looking in the mirror of the human world and drawing a scoop from the gourd. The form of hell is nothing more than the product of infinitely magnifying man's desires in the real dynasty. In terms of the fundamental system, there can be nothing new in hell. "Journey to the West" Tang Wang's tour of the underworld refers to the six reincarnations, referring to ghosts and gods. Who is the hell? We, the masses, the underworld, are actually ancestor worship. Hell itself refers to the human world, but according to a great lecture in the Kusha Treatise, the size and shape of the world do not have to be fixed, and various images and characteristics can manifest depending on the karma of living beings.

No matter who we are, we must worship our deceased ancestors and relatives. Everyone thinks that hell is in the Buddha's gate, but it is not; The real hell is human beings, science is obsessed with everything in the world or the universe as real, although modern scientific research is profound, the system is larger, and the theory is more and more abstract and ethereal, but it always insists that everything has an immutable ontological existence. Therefore, for our living environment, the earth, science also wants to have a practical standard to describe it, and if there are other claims, scientists find it incomprehensible. However, in the Buddhist scriptures, it is not believed that there is an essential fixed body of everything, so it is allowed to have different phenomena to coexist.
