Chapter 235: Rewards and Punishments Are Clear
Bai Wuchang said: "Li Bing, due to the negative karma of the previous life, these ghosts will be infinitely tormented in hell, but the karma will also end one day, and other karma can be transformed when it matures, and they can still be reborn.
Li Bing sighed: "That being the case, I hope that these suffering ghosts will eliminate their karma as soon as possible and be relieved of their suffering, Zen Master Kongming also told me this principle, but I didn't expect to see it today, it is even more tragic." β
Suddenly, a palace appeared, and Li Bing didn't know when, he was already standing in this palace with black and white impermanence.
In the middle of the palace, it is arranged like a public hall in the ancient mortal world, with a plaque of "King Chujiang of the Second Palace" hanging on it, and a person sits on the desk, with a white face and a short beard and a red robe.
Li Bing already understood that this was the king of Chujiang surnamed Li, and hurriedly saluted the king of Chujiang.
King Chu Jiang just smiled slightly, and Li Bing saw that on both sides of the desk, there were judges and ghost pawns, and there was a ghost criminal kneeling below, waiting for King Chu Jiang's verdict.
After the verdict of King Chujiang was completed one by one, when all the ghost soldiers escorted the ghost criminals to each hell to be punished, he said to Shi Bing: "Li Bing, you have seen the punishment of my second hall now, and you can understand. β
Li Bing replied respectfully: "The king of Chujiang is above, and the little one has already understood that if a mortal is alive and does not cultivate virtue and accumulate virtue, he will not be able to escape the torture after death, but I don't know which ghosts should be punished so severely. β
King Chu Jiang smiled and said: "Li Bing, listen to me, I am in charge of the Great Hell, and the criminals who fall into this hell are all evildoers who violate the law, violate the law and discipline, create countless karma, and do not regret until death." β
"For example, in the sun, those who deceive the public and play with the law and order lead to disasters; or those who take advantage of their positions of power, take advantage of them, and suck the people's cream; or spells to deceive people, seek property, or abduct young people, force good people to become prostitutes, or form evil gangs, smuggle and sell drugs, fish and meat villagers, or defraud people in gambling, illegal marriage fraud, forgery of securities, sale of counterfeit medicines, disturbance of order, endangering health, and so on, all of them are sent to my palace for trial after being judged by King Qin Guang in a hall. β
Li Bing was silent, and asked after a while: "May I ask King Chu Jiang, is it true that all ghost criminals sent from the First Hall have to go through this kind of torture." β
King Chu Jiang said: "Li Bing, not really, what you just saw is a pillar of fire, an iron bed, a steel fork, a sword blade, a plough, a whip, an anvil, a cold ice and other punishments, this is for the ghost criminals who have committed particularly serious crimes, come to me to kill the powerful stick, these ghost criminals, and other ghosts whose circumstances are relatively minor and have not gone through these punishments, after I have been sentenced, they will be sent to sixteen small hells to serve their sentences." β
"The judge's notebook examines the number of events committed, the duration of the incident, whether they have caused any harm or serious incidents, and determines which hell they will go to, and how long they will be sentenced."
"After it is verified that they have committed crimes in the Yang World, after my judgment, I will order the hideous, red-haired, and other ghosts to be pushed into the Great Hell to suffer, and in addition, there are also those who are sent to the Small Hell to suffer according to the size of their crimes, and after the above sentences are completed, they will be transferred to the Third Temple, and the punishment will be increased and sent to the Hell of this Temple to suffer."
Li Bing asked in surprise: "King Chujiang, in addition to these punishments just now, are there sixteen small hells, why didn't I see them?" β
King Chu Jiang laughed and said: "Li Bing, this is just like your mortal world, my palace is equivalent to a detention center, after the verdict is completed, they have to be escorted to the corresponding punishment place to start their formal sentence, these sixteen little hells are all behind my palace." β
King Chu Jiang suddenly said very seriously: "Li Bing, you have just seen the punishment in the living hell, as for the sixteen small hells, you can listen to it, go and understand it yourself, and then you have to hurry up and go to the third hall." β
Li Bing heard that King Chu Jiang had finished reporting the names of the Sixteen Little Hells, although he couldn't fully understand how he was punished for a while, but after seeing the cruelty of the punishment in the Great Hell, he could already imagine how terrible the Sixteen Little Hells were.
It turns out that these sixteen hells are: a small hell of black clouds and sand; two small hells of dung, urine and sludge; three five-pronged little hells; four hungry little hells; five thirsty little hells; six pus-and-blood little hells; Seven Little Hells with Bronze Axes; Eight more bronze axes and small hells; Nine Iron Armored Little Hells; Ten small hells; Eleven Little Chicken Hell; Twelve Little Hells of the Grey River; Thirteen cut-off little hells; Fourteen Sword Leaf Little Hells; Fifteen little hells of fox wolves; Sixteen little icey hells,
Li Bing and King Chu Jiang were about to say goodbye, when suddenly a coldness came out of their hearts,
Seeing those tragic scenes just now, Li Bing neglected something, and then he remembered that among the tortured ghost criminals, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, there seemed to be some shadows that he was quite familiar with.
Li Bing was terrified in his heart, who would these shadows be, he thought, these things he inadvertently paid attention to, they must be people he was familiar with,
Who is familiar with Li Bing, he recalled the bits and pieces he had experienced with Zhao Wan'er and them since he was sensible,
Li Bing vaguely saw the people he knew who were still alive or dead, and in contrast, he only felt that what they did in the Yang World was almost all related to the living hell of the Second Hall of Yin Si in charge of the King of Chujiang.
Li Bing's voice of regret suddenly tightened in his heart, he was startled, and quickly turned around to look at the ghost criminals who were being tortured.
Li Bing looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, among those ghost criminals, he didn't see Zhao Wan'er's shadow,
Li Bing, who had just come down, couldn't help but feel a little sad, because among those tortured ghost criminals, he could vaguely see the figure of Zhao Wan'er's mother Zhang Lili and the shadow of Zhao Wan'er's heinous fiancΓ© Wang Liping.
There were only three vague shadows of ghost criminals, forming a mystery in Li Bing's mind, why these three ghost criminals were different from other ghost criminals, and their bodies were vague and vague.
Li Bing was stunned in his heart, it turned out that those three faint shadows were so much like Zhang Yuanshan, Shi Liya and Qian Yiduo,
Li Bing thought that the three people who lived and died together would also suffer this after death, and he couldn't help crying for a while.
King Chu Jiang seemed to see through what Li Bing was thinking, and said with a smile: "Li Bing, have you seen many familiar people from it. β
Li Bing hummed for a moment, and respectfully asked King Chu Jiang and said, "Why do I have the shadows of three friends but they are faintly visible, which is not the same as other ghost criminals." β
King Chu Jiang laughed and said: "Li Bing, you really realized the intention of the Jizo Bodhisattva to let you come to the Yin Division this time, your three friends are also people who went to hell, because they have a fate with you, and they are accumulating good things to change their ways, so their figures are slowly becoming blurred, if they can always start and finish well, and eliminate karma with merit, then they will not want me to be tortured in hell after they die." β
Li Bing was very surprised, and hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to King Chujiang for advice.
