I was dumbfounded and asked, "Didn't you already create your own underworld, why do you still want to be the king of underworld?" ”

Peng Liang was a little moved, he turned around the ground twice with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "I originally thought that I had created the Netherworld Realm and was the real Lord of Hades, but this is not the case. Liu Yang, you are spiritually transparent, and you came here by chance, maybe you can help me answer my questions. ”

"You say." I sat on the ground. I can't walk, so I just see what he's going to do.

Peng Liang slowly talked about his own affairs. His experience was unbelievable and completely unexpected. If he hadn't appeared in such a strange place, I would have thought he was a schizophrenic.

Peng Liang, for some reason, actually knew a very powerful spell. This spell is capable of creating a world of its own. It is unknown what space exists in that world, and what it has to do with our real world. He used his magic and vigorous ambition to turn the world he built into the underworld.

First of all, let's clarify the concept of Hades. Obviously, the concept of the underworld corresponds to the yang world, which is about the world to which people will go after death. There are all kinds of legends in that place, from the East and from the West, all kinds of things, and they are not the same. However, to sum up, it is nothing more than such a few functions. One is to collect the dead ghosts of people and manage them centrally; the second is to have the function of judgment, and punish according to the sins committed in the past life, the so-called eighteen hells; The third is to arrange the reincarnation of the yin soul or to become a more advanced ghost or ghost immortal through the cultivation of the underworld.

There are roughly three functions. After Peng Liang built the World Realm, he built the underworld completely according to his own ideas. He created hell, set up his own Yingdu, and adopted wandering spirits and wild ghosts to train them to become cadres in the underworld, that is, judges, to assist him. To me, it sounds a bit like a city-building game, where you start from scratch and make your own world.

With the passage of time, Peng Liang's world has become more and more perfect. There are mountains and waters, heaven and earth, as well as Yingdu City, Lotus Palace, eighteen layers of hell, etc., all kinds of criminal laws, trial regulations, clear, everything is on track.

Peng Liang has a very great ambition. Creating the underworld and punishing the yin soul is not the ultimate goal. His goal is to transform humanity by transforming souls, and he wants to create new humans!

The world of the yang world made him extremely dissatisfied, deceitful and deceitful, everyone deceived each other, material supremacy, and moral degradation. When a person has unlimited powers, his ambition swells with it. Peng Liang is no longer just satisfied with his own side of the dead world, he wants to cleanse the world and re-establish a paradise on earth!

In accordance with this grand goal, he has been working methodically. But suddenly one day, something very strange happened, which made him feel very wrong, and smelled very dangerous.

That day, Peng Liang had nothing to do and wanted to inspect the eighteen-story hell he had built with his own hands.

In the underworld he created, everything is already on the right track. The Judge of the Shadow has his own responsibilities, like a huge machine that works well, and without his own intervention, all the institutions are proceeding in an orderly manner.

He watched layer by layer in the eighteen layers of hell, and randomly checked a few Yin souls who were being punished, and he was indeed innocent, and the criminal law he received also corresponded to the crimes he committed in the yang world. He was quite satisfied, and said that the underworld he had built was working well, and there were no unjust, false and wrongful convictions.

Looking at it, he came to the lowest level of hell, the so-called Infernal Hell. Infernal Hell, also known as Abi Hell, is the most bitter layer of hell. Those who have fallen into the infernal world are extremely evil people, who have committed extremely serious sins, and will not be able to live beyond the eternal age. Here there are mountains of swords and fires, and countless sinful souls are struggling in the fire, burning with a squeak, like rats. Peng Liang crossed in the void, floating above the sea of fire, and the more painful the screams of the people below, the happier he became.

He believes that people are born lowly. Only when it really hurts, when it hurts, can we be afraid, can we be afraid, and the means of transformation must be from the surface to the inside. If you can't reason well, you have to use tough measures, so that a revolution can break out in the depths of your soul.

At this moment, he suddenly saw an acquaintance in the midst of the fire.

This man was in his forties, neither fat nor thin, naked, sitting cross-legged in the fire, burning the muscles of his face trembling. Peng Liang smiled, lowered his head and fell into the fire, and walked straight over: "Brother Ma, don't come unharmed." ”

The man looked up at him, but did not speak.

Hearing this, I asked Peng Liang, who is this brother Ma?

Peng Liang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "His name is Ma Danlong, and he used to be my life-saving benefactor." Then, he talked about his relationship with Ma Danlong. Ma Danlong is a strange person who can go to the yin, Peng Liang died once, it was Ma Danlong who went to the yin to summon the soul and let him return to the yang and be reborn.

Peng Liang thought about it for a long time, but he really didn't expect that a master like Ma Danlong would appear in the underworld hell he created.

Peng Liang first thought that he had recognized the wrong person, so he called the judge, took the life and death book, and examined it carefully. Sure enough, it was clearly marked on it, and the ghost in front of him was Ma Danlong.

Peng Liang sneered: "If you don't speak, you think I can't recognize you?" Originally, I wanted to give you a chance to rescue Lu Lu, but since you pretend not to know the way, then don't blame me, just enjoy it in the fire. ”

As he spoke, he was about to rise out of the flames.

At this time, that Ma Danlong suddenly raised his head to look at him, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he said calmly: "You yourself are in the Infernal Sea of Fire, why can you save me?!" ”

Peng Liang's whole body was shocked, he couldn't control the clouds, and fell into the fire. Suddenly, for no reason, he felt a palpitation, a heart-rending fear.

"What do you mean?" Peng Liang asked.

Ma Danlong raised his head and smiled: "Peng Liang, do you know what the greatest sorrow of the Daoist people is?" Without waiting for him to answer, Ma Danlong said to himself: "It's not that I'm in hell, but I'm in hell and I don't know it." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Peng Liang yelled.

Ma Danlong's figure gradually blurred, and he pointed with his hand: "Open your eyes and take a look." ”

Peng Liang hit a stirring out of thin air, and suddenly woke up, as if he had a big dream. He opened his misty eyes and looked around, and found that there was a fire all around him, and countless sinful spirits crawled like dogs in the fire with their bare buttocks, and the fire burned on their skin, giving off a burnt smell. He looked at himself again, and was surprised to find that he was also naked, with chains around his hands and feet, and even the pipa bones were wearing two thick rusty iron chains.

He burned all over his body and felt so painful that he couldn't help but open his mouth to howl. But no matter what he called, his throat just couldn't make a sound, and the pain swirled in his throat and then fell into his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly understood.

"Do you understand?" Peng Liang asked me.

I was dumbfounded, swallowed my saliva with difficulty, and guessed, "Is it your true body that suffers in the sea of fire?" ”

Peng Liang nodded, he leaned on the coffin and sighed: "Things are so weird. My true body suffers in the real hell of the underworld, and the hell of my own creation is actually delusional. Ha Lu Ha ......"

He laughed so sadly that I was chilled and goosebumps were rising when I listened.

Peng Liang is dead, and his soul has gone to the underworld to be punished in hell. When he was punished, he actually imagined a hell in his mind, and he became the lord of Hades in that hell. It's a strange circle within a strange circle, a dream within a dream.

But when you think about it, there are still a lot of things that don't make sense. I asked weakly, "Does the underworld you created exist?" It's just your imagination? Or does it actually exist in a space? ”

Peng Liang smiled: "Is there a difference?" ”

I said, "If you imagined it, then everything in this underworld is nothing, from the ghosts to the judges and ghosts, it is completely your dream. And if it really exists, then it means that you do have the ability to receive the souls of the dead from the yang world into the world that you have created. ”

"Not bad, Liu Yang." Peng Liang said: "Hit the nail on the head, you found a very critical problem. But the reality is more complicated than you say, and the world I created is more of a gray area, with both my own illusions and real ghosts. The place we are standing in now was also created by me, so do you say it really exists? ”

I was stunned for a moment, yes, this world is what he delusionally came up with, doesn't it exist? I touched the dry ground, looked at the huge black coffin opposite, and thought of the "ghosts" who had gone away, all of which seemed to exist objectively.

I was completely confused. Because there's a dead knot here that's hard to explain. That is, if all this is false, then am I also the person Peng Liang fantasized? It's gone, so what's wrong with me?

Obviously, I have an independent personality, I am who I am, I am not someone else's idea...... I'm messy.

After a long time, I asked, "What's the matter with that Ma Danlong?" ”

Peng Liang said: "That's not Ma Danlong. ”

I was stunned: "It's not Ma Danlong, who could it be?" ”

"That's my demon." Peng Liang said word by word.

"Heart Demon?!" I was taken aback.

Peng Liang nodded: "I have a deep relationship with the real Ma Danlong, he saved me from the yin, I am very interested in his ability, and I am very envious." To be honest, sometimes I even fantasize that I am him, and that he exists like a mentor to me. Therefore, the person I saw in the self-created underworld was actually a psychological projection of my subconscious, and it can also be said that Ma Danlong was actually myself. ”

"The real Ma Danlong is still alive and well, and he is not in the underworld?" I asked.

Peng nodded brightly: "Yes." ”

He added: "At that moment, I suddenly figured out why I would suffer in hell and hell. That's because I have a demon in my heart, and this demon is my ideal of building the underworld to transform human beings. ”
