Chapter 299: The Netherworld

After the ghost gate, the real Huangquan Road is in front of you, and it is said that the Huangquan Road is not easy to walk, which is not wrong at all. I saw that the loess avenue in front of me was full of potholes, it was very difficult to walk, there were hooks and knives on the road, and when the Yang world was alive, people with good hearts and good hearts were peaceful all the way, and some treacherous people would be tripped by the hook and knife that suddenly appeared on the road, and some of the ghosts' feet were cut, and some were even cut off, lying on the road crying and shouting, so painful.

There are many pedestrians on Huangquan Road, and there are many ghosts, anyone who is unwilling to move forward will be beaten by the ghosts, no matter how you plead, the ghosts will not let you go back, and when you get to the Huangquan Road, how can you still think of returning to the Yang world?

On the long Huangquan Road, the pedestrians are generally the same as the people of the Yang world, and there are no young and old people on the Huangquan Road, and everyone keeps moving forward like this. The road can't stop, some of the ghosts are tired and want to rest for a while, but a gust of wind comes, only to see two ghosts appear in front of the ghosts, and then hit the ghost whip and pounced, hitting the ghosts who want to rest screaming.

The Yin Spirits do not walk fast on their two legs, especially those who are treacherous when they are alive, and the Yin Spirits who have tripped over their feet by the hook knife on the road can only crawl on the ground.

But I'm okay, it's easy to ride a paper horse, and all the ghosts that meet me will cast envious glances, of course, there are also some ghosts who don't have long eyes, and even want to pull me off the horse, want to rob my white horse, and naturally I was repulsed.

The paper horse galloped all the way, and finally an ancient city appeared in front of him. The city sits on the plain in front of me, with yellow walls several feet high that stretches across the plain. Although it is a little far away now, and you can't see the buildings in the city, the majestic momentum of this ancient city has been revealed!

Although we were still a long way off, Hakuba seemed to know that our destination was about to arrive, so we ran very fast, and after a while we came to the walls of the ancient city.

Standing under the city wall, looking up at the yellow city wall several feet high, people feel that it is so high, and the huge and majestic momentum is even more obvious. The whole city exudes an ancient atmosphere, the earthy yellow city wall has long been mottled because of the years, but it does not appear dilapidated because of this, but it is precisely because it has experienced the years and looks more solid and majestic, at a glance it makes people solemn and awe-inspiring!

Looking at the top of the city wall, I saw two lanterns floating high in the air in the dim sky above the city wall.

The two lanterns hung in mid-air, but they didn't move. One was a brilliant red, and it looked like a ball of blood; One is a dark green, like a ghost fire beyond the Nine Shadows. Whether the two lanterns were red or green, it seemed so strange to hang in the air in the dim sky of the underworld.

In the middle of the city wall is a huge city gate, on which are written three large black characters - Xudu City. It is also known as a "ghost town" or "hidden capital", and it is the place where the souls of people return after death.

All the ghosts will be escorted into the yamen of the various divisions in the city, and there are four major judges in it, which are divided into the department of rewarding the good, punishing the evil, the department of yin law, and the inspection department, and are in charge of the reward and punishment of the yin souls. On the side of the hall, there is a joint book: "The yang world is a traitor, and the harm to the sky is up to oneself; Yin Si retribution, who has been let go through the ages".

After finding out the good and evil in life, if it is a good person, wait for reincarnation in the ghost town, and the paper clothes and paper money burned by the relatives of the Yang world will be sent to this place, so that the souls waiting for reincarnation can wait peacefully. If it is an evil person, then it will be directly sent to hell, and will be punished accordingly by hell, skinned and cramped, burned in a pot of oil, and subjected to all kinds of tortures.

Speaking of this Netherworld Ghost Mansion, many people may not understand it, thinking that there is only one Hades in the underworld, but this is actually wrong. The underworld is governed by Emperor Dongyue, who divides good and evil in the world, and karma. There are five ghost emperors, ten halls of Yama, and seventy-six mansions, and the gods in them are all characters in the "God List". The Emperor of Dongyue is none other than Huang Feihu is also, who is in charge of Yin Cao by Jiang Ziya, and the Five Directions Ghost Emperor does not refer to the five great gods, but to the five directions. It is the Oriental Ghost Emperor Cai Yulei and Shen Tu, who governs the ghost gate of 'Taozhi Mountain'. Western ghost emperor Zhao Wenhe, Wang Zhenren. Governing the 'Ridge Tomb Mountain'. The ghost emperors of the north, Zhang Heng and Yang Yun, ruled Luo Yu Mountain. The ghost emperor Du Ziren of the south, ruled Luofu Mountain. The central ghost emperor Zhou Qi and Ji Kang ruled the 'Hugging Calf Mountain'.

The ten kings of Yama are - King Qin Guang, King Chujiang, Emperor Song, King of Qiguan, King of Yama, King of Equality, King Taishan, King of City, King Bian Cheng, and King of Wheel. There are also the chief judge Cui Fujun, Zhong Kui, black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, Meng Po God, etc. The entire Netherworld is under their control.

Yin Cao is divided into six Cao, under the management of King Qin Guang, he has "six Gong Cao", three of the left class, in charge of the heavenly Cao, the earth Cao, and the underworld; The three members of the right class are in charge of the gods, people, and ghosts. The duty of the six Cao is to present the official documents and reports of the underworld to the Yin Tianzi in a timely manner, and quickly send the edict of the Yin Tianzi to all places. According to folklore, all expressions and reports that need to be "ascended to heaven" in the world will be "presented" by Gong Cao after they are burned, and then Gong Cao God next to King Yama will submit official documents and reports to King Yama.

And the Yang family's "casting post" was sent to the person Cao in the six Cao, and the person Cao handed it over to the table of King Yama.

The underworld is divided into seventy-six divisions, which are actually similar to the various yamen in the yang world, each performing its own duties, and each has its own chief god. In the palm of the world, good and evil blessings, karma, and the cycle of life and death.

It is said that there are seventy-six divisions (the folk also call seventy-two divisions and seventy-five divisions), and there are many names of seventy-six divisions, such as the division of life and death, the department of quick reports, the division of conspiracy, the division of evil reports, the division of taking people, the division of water administration, the division of abortion, the division of poison, the division of birds, the division of spirits, the division of hell, the division of land and so on. In folklore, the officials of the underworld of the Seventy-six Divisions are ghosts who are full of ghosts who are executed in the underworld, and they specialize in taking evil spirits to hell.

According to legend, each god has a name, the most famous is the courier god Yue Fei, and most of the seventy-six gods are the gods in "The Romance of the Gods"; There are also some famous historical figures, such as the god of the express report and the god of loyalty and filial piety is Yue Fei, and the god of urging the line is Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty; In addition, there are Taoist gods and characters from folklore, such as Xu Zhenjun, the god of yellow disease, and the god of poison is the cowherd. Although some of these characters appear in "Romance of the Gods", they have changed beyond recognition, and some even confuse the chronology of historical figures.

Getting back to the point, this time I mainly went to find the Yama King in the Ten Halls of Yama, because Cao, the person in the six Caos of the underworld, should have sent the "Casting Post" to the Yama King's desk.

It's just that what worries me is that at the gate of the capital city, there are ghosts guarding the city gate, and every ghost entering and leaving will be checked one by one.

Riding a paper horse, I soon came to the gate of the city, and when I saw two of the ghosts blocking the ghost whip in their hands, I asked, "Why do you break into the underworld, and report your name quickly!" ”

"Chen Ergou, a member of the Xianjing Gate, has something important to see the king of Yama, and I hope that the ghost will send his disciples into the city." I answered honestly, and I couldn't help but feel scared, afraid that I would have the same experience as before the ghost gate closed.

However, I don't know if it's because I'm so nasty, or if I'm really unlucky. I'm really afraid of whatever I want, and sure enough, the ghost said with a cold face: "The underworld is forbidden, and no one is allowed to break in, do you have a Yin Commander card, or an acquaintance?" ”

I have heard of the Yin Commander card, it is said that the former Yin to Yang to the Yang Dynasty recruit "Yang Difference", those who have done "Yang Difference" Mr. Yin and Yang, there will be a Yin Commander card of the underworld, so that the Yin and Yang worlds can come and go freely. However, this year, the profession of "yang difference" has long been extinct, and where can I, a newcomer who has been through the yin for the first time, have that thing, so I have to use the old way again, lying and deceiving: "Black and white impermanence is my buddy, let me in quickly, otherwise when my impermanence brother comes, I will have to be reprimanded and wait!" ”

Originally, I was also an honest person, and I rarely used tricks and tricks, but now I have no choice but to tell lies against my will. However, I don't know if this lie has been told once, so this second time it is very familiar, as if it is the same thing, even I think this lie is very loud.

Sure enough, not only the two ghosts were stunned, but even the ghosts who came in and out showed surprised expressions, and they all looked at me one with envious and jealous expressions on their faces. Obviously, people who can be called brothers and sisters with black and white impermanence are still very awesome in this underworld.

The two ghosts quickly reacted, and then said: "The feelings are your own people, then the little brother should go in quickly, the next time you meet the two masters of impermanence, you have to say a good word for the brother in front of them, this guarding the city gate is really not a good errand." ”

What he said was obviously to set up a relationship with me, and he wanted to use my help to let black and white impermanence transfer his position for him! It seems that guarding the city gate in this underworld is not good, maybe it is similar to the low-level patrol in the underworld!

I said, "It's all right, and when I go in and see my two brothers, I'll say a few words for you." ”

I didn't blush when I said this, but I was worried in my heart, I don't know if black and white impermanence knows this, will I slap me with big ears?
