Tomb of Impermanence Chapter 25: Deep in the Ice Rock

Bai Wuyan said slowly: "For thousands of years, the human ghost clan and the beast ghost clan have each guarded their own land, and they have not violated each other, and they have nothing to do with each other. It's just that the entire ghost realm of the underworld is under the control of Emperor Xudu, and the status of the human ghost clan is often higher than that of the beast and ghost clan. ”

"The entire underworld is also divided into the yin and yang world and the ghost realm in terms of geographical attributes, the yin and yang world is the place where the souls of humans and beasts who have just died wander, and only the soul messengers of the underworld can lead those new souls to the ghost realm of the underworld to become real ghosts and beasts, or embark on the road of reincarnation and reincarnate as humans or animals. ”

"Souls that have not been guided by the soul seduction messengers, have not been judged by the judges of the underworld, and have not embarked on the path of reincarnation, will only remain in the underworld forever in the underworld, and will not be able to live forever. After the death of a good person, it is also possible that he will be directly sentenced to the wheel of impermanence by the reincarnation division and ascend to the immortal path. ”

"The underworld is the place where all living beings are in charge of life. All things in heaven and earth, after death, their souls are bound to the netherworld by black and white, and all their good and evil in the yang world must be ended here. As the saying goes, the living are in the yang, the dead are in the underworld, the yang is a world, and the underworld is a world. The world says that the underworld is eerie and terrifying, and there are lonely souls and wild ghosts everywhere. In fact, who has seen it with their own eyes, it is called a world, there is beauty and ugliness, this is the case in the yang world, and the same is true in the underworld. ”

Bai Wuyan exhaled a cool breath and continued: "Emperor Xudu, also known as Emperor Hengyun of Beiyin, the supreme deity of the underworld of the underworld, is the master of the capital city of Luo Yu Mountain, and is specifically responsible for the management of the underworld. He is the head of the Five Ghost Emperors. ”

"Other ghost emperors of the four directions, the Eastern Ghost Emperor Yu Lei Shendi, the ghost city of Dushuo in Taozhi Mountain, the ghost emperor of the West Zhaowenhe, the ghost city of Lingzuka Mountain in vain, the ghost emperor of the south Du Ziren, the ghost city of Shikui in Luofu Mountain, the ghost city of the Central Ghost Emperor Daybeg, the ghost town of the Red Banner of Baoqian Mountain. Emperor Xudu is in charge of all the ghost kings of the underworld, such as the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Hall Yamas, and the Ten Thousand Beast Venerables. ”

"The Eighteen Prefectures of Hell, also commonly known as the Eighteen Layers of Hell in the world, are controlled by the Ten Hall Yama Kings. The ten kings of Yama are called: King Qin Guang, King Chujiang, Emperor Song, King of Wuguan, King of Black Yama, King of Equality, King of Taishan, King of City, King Bian Cheng, and King of Wheel. ”

"Jiang Wushou, the king of Qin Guang, is in charge of the books of longevity and premature death, birth and death in the world, and unified management of the punishment of the underworld and the auspicious and evil in the afterlife. The Ghost Judgment Hall is located outside of Wojiao Mountain, on the Hell State of Huangquan Black Road to the west. ”

"King Libing of Chujiang, Emperor Yu Ming of the Song Dynasty, King Lu Chi of Wuguan, King Bao Zhao of Black Yama, King Bi of Bian Cheng, King Dong Baisha of Mount Tai, King Huang Yan of the City, and King Lu of Equality are in charge of the two hell states in all directions of the impermanence wheel of Wojiao Mountain.

Xue Dunai, the king of the wheel, lives outside the Wojiao Mountain in the underworld, just east of the hell state, directly facing the place of the five turbid worlds. ”

"Except for the first hall of King Qin Guang, each hall of the King of Yama is in charge of the two major hell states and the sixteen small hells contained in them. ”

"Although the hells in charge of these halls are slightly different, they are generally nothing more than the hells that are often referred to by the folks: the first layer of tongue pulling hell, also called tongue pulling state, the second layer of scissors hell, also called Lishu state, the third layer of iron tree hell, also called iron tree state, the fourth layer of evil mirror hell, also called evil mirror state, the fifth layer of steamer hell, also called steamer state, the sixth layer of copper pillar hell, also called copper pillar state, the seventh layer of Daoshan hell, also called Daoshan state, the eighth layer of cold ice hell, also called cold ice state, the ninth layer of oil pot hell, also called oil refining state, the tenth layer of oxkeng hell, also called pit cow state, the eleventh layer of stone pressure hell, also called stone pressure state, and the twelfth layer of Chungjiu hell, also called Chungjiu stateThe thirteenth layer of the Blood Pool Hell is also called the Blood Pool State, the fourteenth layer of the Hell of Vain Death, also known as the Death State, the fifteenth layer of the Lingchi Hell is also called the Lingchi State, the sixteenth layer of the Volcanic Hell is also called the Fire Sea State, the seventeenth layer of the Maggot Hell is also called the Worm State, and the eighteenth layer of the Knife and Saw Hell is also called the Knife Saw State. ”

"It seems that there are eighteen layers of hell, but in fact they should be called eighteen, because these eighteen hell states are actually on the same level, but the terrain is high and low, and it is uneven. ”

The girl Ah Lu and the young man Zhu Zizhen, while listening to Bai Wuyan's introduction to the knowledge of the underworld, walked, and slowly no longer felt the unbearable cold as before.

Gradually, the terrain at the bottom of the cave slowly became flat, the ice cave became wider and wider, and a large large ice chamber appeared in front of them, and the three of them all felt the sound of water under their feet, as if the ice wall under their feet had melted slightly, and there was a layer of ice water floating on it.

Bai Wuyan pointed to the center of the ice room with a spirit banner and said, "Look here." ”

I saw that the wide ice room was empty all around, but a large square ice rock appeared in the middle, like a stone table. There were some wild beast furs on the table, and it looked like the fur was very thin, stacked one by one, and I don't know what beast had been peeled from.

On top of the pile of fur lay a large mouse, as large as a cat, with shiny, blue-black fur, a long rat tail curled up behind it, and its eyes closed and motionless.

When the three of them saw another creature appear in the ice cave, they suddenly had hope of survival. The girl Ah Lu stepped forward and took a closer look, only to see that the big blue rat's body seemed to be very warm around it, and there was constantly melted ice water flowing to the ground on the stone table table below, and there was a shallow layer of ice water on the entire ice room. Ah Lu touched the fur of the mouse with his hand, but he felt warm and the chill disappeared, but no matter how he touched the mouse, the mouse just didn't move.

Ah Luqi said: "This must be an ice beast! Why is it motionless, is it dead?" Thinking about it, it is not right, all the people who live in the underworld are ghost bodies, and if they die, their souls will be scattered, and where will they leave corpses like in the yang world.

Zhu Zizhen also stepped forward to touch the fur of the mouse, and said, "It's so warm! Why does this ice rat sleep here? Is it the incarnation of Ah Xi?" Thinking of the beautiful girl Ah Xi, Zhu Zizhen actually looked forward to seeing her again, even if Ah Xi had introduced him into the ice cave to freeze himself. Zhu Zizhen no longer felt cold at this time, and he didn't have the slightest hatred for the girl Ah Xi.

At this moment, suddenly the three of them felt droplets of water dripping above their heads, and the ice wall directly above the stone table suddenly began to melt, and soon a large hole was formed, and the blue lake water was poured on it, and the strange thing was that the lake water actually formed a whirlpool, and the whirlpool turned faster and faster, and the area expanded larger and larger, spreading towards the ice room.

The three of them were startled, and they wanted to retreat, but when they hesitated, they heard a familiar girl's voice shouting: "Don't move, everyone, I'm here to save you!"
