Chapter 482: Freedom and Truth
The ghost official picked up a tongue from the ground and licked it, and said: "This shrew likes to instigate other people's husbands and wives to quarrel, and she loves to tell right and wrong the most, and she also cursed her mother-in-law to death. β
The ghost officer shook his head and walked towards a man who was being tortured.
This man has a pointed face and a sharp chin, and he looks like a rat.
He was chained to an iron pillar, his mouth was pried open by two little ghosts, and his tongue was clamped with an iron clip, and then slowly, slowly elongated, so painful that the man howled vigorously, that expression, that painful miserable situation, Chen Shuisheng felt a burst of tongue headache.
The ghost officer took the wooden sign from the hand of the imp on the side, which wrote the evil deeds of this man and the size of the elongated tongue of the punishment.
After pulling some, a little imp brought some blood-colored water and applied it to the man's tongue.
"It's called repair water, and it can prevent the tongue from breaking off, so that the person being punished can slowly bear the pain......"
The ghost official introduced it with interest.
Chen Shuisheng couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly interrupted: "Still, let's look elsewhere, right?" β
The old man nodded, "Okay, that second-layer scissors hell is also related to people who talk nonsense, basically some hell that instigates widows to remarry, or matches widows, and cuts off ten fingers after death." The third layer of the Iron Tree Hell refers to those who are separated from each other while they are alive, and who instigate discord between father and son, brother, sister, and husband and wife, and enter the Iron Tree Hell after death. The trees are all sharp, and they are skinned after they come, and they are hung on the iron trees to be punished in hell. β
"These three floors are much the same, and you can go and see the fourth floor."
The old man looked at the ghost official.
The ghost officer nodded and immediately led the way.
On the way, the ghost official explained: "The fourth layer is the evil mirror hell, if you commit a crime in the Yang world, face the interrogation in the City God Temple, deliberately conceal the crime, do not tell the truth, use the relationship to go through the door, up and down the sky and cross the sea, even if they escape the punishment of the City God Temple, go to the underworld to report, through the evil mirror to reveal the crime, and then hit here to suffer......"
"This, it doesn't seem to be anything to see, why don't you look at anything else?"
Chen Shuisheng is not very interested in punishing people, and he feels uncomfortable looking at it, after all, they are all human beings, so he feels that the criminal law seems to be too heavy, which is a bit unacceptable.
"Hehe......"
Hearing this, the old man stopped and smiled, "You, just like to know what you like and ignore it, but you still can't understand the necessity of punishment." When it comes to critical times, it will cause you to not know deeply and make mistakes. β
The old man's meaning was actually to let Chen Shuisheng take a look in the mirror of evil, so that he could personally feel the atmosphere of being punished and enhance his understanding.
Chen Shuisheng shrugged his shoulders and responded: "I don't think these will do anything for me, what you mean is nothing more than to tell me that it is better to leave some idle things alone, because in the end, you will suffer karma in the underworld." β
Chen Shuisheng is very smart, and it is not difficult to guess the old man's intentions.
The old man and the ghost official glanced at each other, both a little surprised.
Chen Shuisheng said again: "Even if there is a net of heaven and earth, I still doubt the real society, if these punishments of the underworld can really work, then why is the current mortal world full of people who chase fame and fortune and can do whatever it takes for money?" Could it be that there is a loophole in the management of the prefecture? Or is it because the underworld is actually the same as the mortal world, the laws of the mortal world are used to govern ordinary people, and the criminal law of the underworld is only used to punish the weak? β
Chen Shuisheng's suspicions are justified, and they are basically facts.
When the ghost official heard this, he was slightly stunned, and did not argue, but lowered his head.
In fact, no matter where it is the same, there is a network of interests, the powerful are always above the law, the real big corrupt officials, big corrupt officials, will not be easily touched, so it will turn back to create a huge loophole, the atmosphere of the underworld is not good, and the mortal world will naturally not be much better.
Chen Shuisheng's outspoken personality was slightly unexpected by the old man.
The old man paused, then sighed, "Yes! There are problems of one kind or another in the Three Realms, people's hearts are fluctuating and unpredictable, and it is almost impossible to be truly flawless. Time has passed, the years have passed, and the righteousness in people's hearts has long been wiped out. But you must know that those who have committed the most heinous crimes, once the East Window incident occurs, the punishment for them will be a hundred times more severe, a thousand times more severe! β
"I don't believe that."
Chen Shuisheng smiled disappreδΈι¨ly.
The old man frowned, "You don't believe it? So what do you believe? β
"Conspiracy, everything in this world, is actually a conspiracy." Chen Shuisheng was in high spirits for a while, as if he had realized something all at once.
"Conspiracy!"
"What, what do you mean?"
The old man and the ghost official were all taken aback.
Chen Shuisheng said unhurriedly: "The real nature is not like this, the real nature is pure and holy, far less complicated than the things in the Three Realms, and it is also a religious belief and a national law...... I suspect that everything is a conspiracy, someone deliberately set up the Three Realms of Reincarnation Order for us in order to divert our attention, so that we are trapped in his puzzle, and his purpose is not to help us, but to confuse us, so that we can be used by him, and will never overthrow him! β
"You've denied everything!?" The ghost official looked at Chen Shuisheng in horror, "You, you, you are actually a betrayer?" β
"No, he's not a betrayer, he's thinking too much. Lao Lu, today's matter is troublesome to you, he is still a child, I have to go first. The old man hurriedly explained, quickly waved his hand, opened a round hole, and directly brought Chen Shuisheng back to the mortal world, the courtyard gate of the cemetery villa.
The old man looked anxious and worried, as if Chen Shuisheng had just committed some big taboo and said something that should never be said.
Chen Shuisheng was still at a loss, he didn't know what he said wrong, couldn't he tell the truth?
"Shuisheng, you, you really dare to say anything!"
"And Lao Lu is my friend, others are good, don't worry about us, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Do you know, in the underworld, the eighteenth layer of hell, that is the most law-abiding place, mortals who say a few more words before life will be punished, but you say such a rebellious speech, you are really dead, once they are investigated, you will definitely die."
The old man shouted loudly, looking like he was about to fall.
Chen Shuisheng did not argue, but calmed down.
When the old man saw that Chen Shuisheng didn't speak, he thought that Chen Shuisheng had lost his way and knew that he was wrong, so he comforted: "Forget it, this matter is here, in the future, remember that it is better not to say some things on special occasions." Because these words will not bring you any good, they will only push you to the guillotine! β
Chen Shuisheng raised his head and stared at the old man, "Senior, what I want is not benefits, what I want is the truth, the truth of this universe, the truth beyond the Three Realms, I will not be willing to be a slave who does not dare to tell the truth, I want freedom, I want the truth, I don't need this hypocritical world, and I am not rare in this ugly world full of deception!" β
It's really nice to say what's in your heart.
Chen Shuisheng finally really found his goal, and this is the real goal.
As for those rules, laws, laws, and heavenly rules, Chen Shuisheng didn't pay attention to these things at all, and in Chen Shuisheng's view, these rules for managing sentient beings were also shackles that constrained him from finding freedom and truth.
The old man took a few steps back, he looked at Chen Shuisheng incredulously, shook his head and said: "I shouldn't have promised Wutian, people like you can't be educated at all, you are you, people like you can either soar into the sky, break through layers of obstacles, and become the Venerable of the Three Realms, or they can only die under the sanctions of various laws!" I can't help you, if you keep going like this, you will have trouble, you are about to be in great trouble, no one can help you! β
"Aquatic, don't be afraid, I'll help you!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in Chen Shuisheng's heart.
This woman's voice Chen Shuisheng was very familiar with, she was none other than the voice of the woman inside the giant golden coffin outside the Three Realms.
"Uh...... You really didn't leave? β
Chen Shuisheng's heart was stunned, and the whole person was stunned.
Chen Shuisheng also doubted that women would not leave so easily, where did his mysterious power come from?
Now, the answer is revealed, and it's because of this woman.
The woman's voice sounded in Chen Shuisheng's heart again: "I said, you don't need to be afraid, I have no hostility, I won't hurt you." In fact, I am a person who seeks the truth just like you, and I have been thinking about why our Protoss always has to wage war with many powerhouses in the Three Realms, endlessly, why is this, until I entered your body and hid it, I gradually found the truth. β
"The truth? What kind of truth? β
Hearing the two words of truth, Chen Shuisheng's heart suddenly burst into excitement.
