170: Three levels of hell

Chinese Zhou Yang knew what Shen Ru meant to her, and comforted her

"That's just a signature, I can't do it!" Nan Zhao also wanted to think so, but after listening to Master Xuyun just now, that signature was written for her hundreds of years ago, as if everything was already predestined.

So, can she buck the trend? When she came out of the Bodhi Temple, it was the dead of night, and she asked the groom to stop halfway.

"Brother Jiu, I want to go somewhere alone!" Zhou Yang knew that she had something on her mind and was inconvenient to disturb, so he asked Xunlong to lead the horse over and let her ride.

Parting instructions

"Come back early!"

"Hmm." As soon as she left, Xunlong stepped forward to ask

"It's not peaceful at such a late hour, let your subordinates quietly follow Miss Nan and protect her by the side, right?" Zhou Yang replied

"No need, now she doesn't need the protection of others. Besides, she doesn't want people to follow, and you can't keep up, go back! The group headed in the direction of the Guogong Mansion.

Nan Zhao came to the Diwang Temple alone, and the evening breeze was cool. She tied her horse to the tree and went to the place where the wishing card was kept.

The bell rings, and the chant is like a child's joy. She stopped where she had stood twice and felt for the piece that read

"Reunite with Ye, never give up" eight-character wishing card, that familiar figure appeared under the eaves outside the temple.

The night was lonely, and he stared at her alone for a long time, then turned and walked in the opposite direction. Even though she had experienced it twice, knowing that the figure was just a phantom, Nan Zhao still couldn't control the melancholy and infatuation in her heart, she chased after him closely, and when she knew that he would stop, she continued to walk towards him, standing next to him and stopping.

She knew what he was going to say, but she didn't listen to a word of it, and just watched him tell those empty lies to the empty old streets in the distance, and her eyes grew to tears.

She looked up at him, and finally spoke

"As it is, count the days, you have only been away from me for half a month, and I have not seen you for several years."

"I asked for a sign for you today, I don't understand the sign, the master who unsigned said, you can't come back, he said it was wrong, right?" Under the stars and moon, Shen Rugu's eyebrows and eyes were cold, she was far away from the previous two times, but this time, she understood the sadness hidden in her eyes!

Although it was an illusion, it was also a moment when Shen Ru really revealed it when he wanted her to believe that he was still alive.

"Even if what he said was predestined, I don't admit it, I've found two spirits, and I won't give up......"

"You taught me, I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in fate, I only believe in myself!" Shen Ru's illusion was still in front of him, and he suddenly turned around at this moment and met her eyes.

She was shocked in her heart, why didn't she remember the first two times, Shen Rugu's illusion would turn around at this moment? Did she remember it wrong?

Shen Rusu just looked at her like this, as if she was real, he could hear her words and see her expression.

"As it ......," she tentatively reached out his hand to caress the face, but he turned his back to her

"Nan Zhao, our fate as husband and wife is over in this life, and when we meet again, I will take back everything I owe her to you for her!" It's still the same sentence, and the ruthlessness before the farewell.

Nan Zhao was a little disappointed, because she knew that this illusion had come to an end, and she wanted to look at him more, so he stepped forward, and she also stepped forward, where she could always see him, and followed closely.

However, the illusion finally came to an end, and at last, she saw his figure disappear in front of her like smoke, as if she had lost him again, and her heart was like a knife, and she stood alone in the night for a long time without moving.

"Whew-" The wind suddenly changed, and became rapid and non-negotiable. Nan Zhao's eyes instantly put away Fang Cai's sadness, turned into a cold face, and turned to look at the source of the wind.

Everything else was normal, except for the place where she looked at a very thick fog, and soon after, in the fog, someone's figure appeared, and then, she saw four sedan chairmen carrying a black sedan chair slowly walking towards this side.

She carefully looked at the feet of the four people, there was no shadow, there was no doubt that it was a ghost! So who is sitting in the sedan chair?

"Nan Zhao, you secretly detain the soul of the dead and threaten the yin, do you know the crime?" A hard male voice came out of the sedan chair, and after listening to it, she had basically confirmed that Fan Wuxu's words had been brought down, and it was time for the results!

"Privately withholding the soul of the dead and threatening the yin is indeed what I Nanzhao said, but I don't know the guilt!"

"Humph!" I don't know what official in the sedan chair is from the underworld, but if I can know her identity and be sent, I guess Dao Xing is better than Fan Wusheng.

Nan Zhao waited patiently for the sedan chair to get closer and closer, but before the sedan chair could stop, a fierce-faced ghost flew out of the sedan chair.

She has also seen a lot of evil ghosts, but this ghost looks particularly scary, with a leopard head and eyes, an iron face and a beard, a strange appearance, and the murderous aura on his body is even stronger than that of the black impermanence, which is a very character!

This fierce-faced ghost was holding a long sword, the blade of the sword was very sharp, and when he saw the sword qi splitting down, Nan Zhao dodged sideways.

The Male-faced Ghost struck the air with a sword, and did not stop, shouting

"Eat me with a sword due south!" South? Nan Zhao seemed to have heard this name somewhere, and his mind turned quickly, and he immediately knew who the fierce ghost in front of him was!

Zhong Kui! The ghost who specializes in catching ghosts, in fact, is not an in-service yin official in the underworld, because he was a powerful Taoist priest before he died, honest and resolute, and after death, he missed the opportunity to be reincarnated, so he stayed in the people, specializing in eliminating evil ghosts, he is the god of the people, and the hell also respects him, after all, he has done a lot of things for thousands of years!

In this way, Hei Wuchang couldn't handle it by himself, so he went down and let it go, and they asked Zhong Kui to deal with him?

Although Zhong Kui was powerful, Nan Zhao didn't pay attention to it, she reminded the other party

"Senior, I just want Shen Ru's soul, if you don't bring it, then I'm welcome!" Zhong Kui replied fiercely

"There are rules in the underworld, and there are laws in the yang, since you call me senior, you should know that I only send imps to the underworld, and there has never been a time when the imps are sent to the yang, and I came here today, just ask you to ask for the dead sixteen who were detained by you, if you know each other, give them to me obediently, otherwise I don't care if your name is on the book of life and death, I will send you down to see the king of Hades!" Nan Zhao sneered,

"Don't worry, if you don't bring the same soul this time, you don't need to send it, I will go down myself!" Since this ghost is here to fight, she will not be merciful, and immediately draw out the power of the spirit flower in the palm of her hand, when Zhong Kui swung the sword again, the power of the spirit flower collided with the sword qi, and the aura was shining, dyeing the originally dark night sky.

Ordinary ghosts can't avoid Linghua, Zhong Kui is not a fierce demon among ghosts and gods, and he can easily navigate Linghua's offensive, constantly changing his tricks, or cutting or splitting.

After several rounds of fighting like this, Nan Zhao began to get tired of fighting, she returned to the starting point, took off the purple bead in her right hand with her hand, and launched a powerful blow to Zhong Kui!

Zhong Kui obviously found that her blow was much stronger than just now, and she put her sword in front of her to resist with all her might, but she was knocked away by the power of the spirit flower and fell ten zhang away!

The other ghosts had long since disappeared, and Zhong Kui could still concentrate and stand up again, but his ghost aura had weakened significantly, because he was very stubborn by nature, even though he knew that he had no possibility of defeating Nan Zhao, he still refused to back down.

"I have no intention of killing ghosts and gods, and I don't want to rob any imps from hell, I only need Shen Rusu, and he is enough, you ...... Why won't you let me get what you want? "Nan Zhao seems to be asking Zhong Kui, and he also seems to be asking the ghosts and gods of the underworld and the king of the ten halls of Hades that Zhong Kui represents behind him!

"Shen Ru has been living for several years, and he went to the underworld to report early, you rely on yourself to hold the spirit flower, and you can't take the yin and the yin, so you will ignore the laws and regulations of the underworld-" From behind Zhong Kui, there was a rough male voice, she heard it familiarly, confirmed that she had dealt with the person who spoke, and immediately looked back, and found that the sedan chair that Zhong Kui was sitting on was gone, and after that, a cloud of fog rose, and from the fog came a tall man wearing an official uniform and a long hat.

The official uniform was a purple robe, embroidered with a devil's face, not the official uniform of any dynasty or generation in the yang world, but worn by the city god of the underworld.

"Lord Chenghuang?" Nan Zhao was curious, wasn't the old man in front of her the one she met on the way back to the Yin Man to rob her soul?

From the area of the city god, it should be the city god of Taizhou, and the Yunzhou here cannot be controlled by him. Besides, even if Shen Rugu died in Yunzhou, he was also from Qingzhou, and after his death, his soul should belong to the Qingzhou City God, why did he come here?

"Nan Zhao, I read you and me hundreds of years ago, and there were some origins, so I was sent to talk to you!" The City God Lord reported the reason, Nan Zhao was still a little surprised, hundreds of years ago, he had a relationship with this City God Master?

What is the origin? She thought back for a moment that she had seen this city god master in the illusion of Jiuzhong Mountain that day, surnamed Fan Mingchong, in the era when he was alive, he had led troops to fight against the Bone Squeak Army, and was a great hero.

Therefore, after dying in battle, he was sealed as a city god. She spoke

"Your hell is also a little interesting, first send the fierce god Zhong Kui to fight me, see that you can't fight, and then send a city god who has something to do with my previous life, what do you mean?" Lord Chenghuang definitely didn't come to fight, and he didn't even bring his murderous ghost slashing knife.

That is to be a lobbyist, to persuade her not to be an enemy of the Three Realms, to mess with the rules of the underworld, and to do things against the sky!

"Don't talk about the things of my previous life, I can't remember any of them, even if I call an acquaintance in this life to talk to me, my original intention will never change." Nan Zhao asked with an attitude

"Master Chenghuang, Shen Ru's soul, have you brought it with you?" Fan Chong crossed his hands in front of him, stood there majestically, and replied

"The last time you came to the City God Temple, you also wanted to find that Shen Ru, in order to find him, you did not hesitate to use your life to refute other Yin soldiers, and did not stop if you did not achieve your goal, and now the power of your spiritual flower is several times stronger than that day, although you are not under the control of the underworld, but the ten halls of the underworld hope that you can make good use of the power in your hands!" Nan Zhao's ears were about to become calloused when she heard these words, but she still listened patiently and emphasized

"I just want Shen Ru to be the same!"

"Yes!" Unexpectedly, the other side readily agreed, which surprised her.

"You said yes?" Fan Chong raised his palm, and a mirror appeared in his hand, in the mirror, she saw many ghosts in the realm, they were wearing shackles, and they were being led to a certain place by the shadows, and among them, there was a person who was Shen Rusu, who was haunted by her dreams.

"As it is!"

"The Yin Division of the underworld here is where the early dead ghosts stay, and most of the early dead ghosts are because the karma of the previous life is too deep, and they only go to the yang world for a short trip in this life, after the explanation, they will return to the Yin Division of the underworld to continue to repay the karma of his previous life, and the Shen Ru you want to find will eliminate his karma there, and you want the underworld to hand him over to you, as you said, this dead person will not be sent to you, you will have to take it yourself." Fan Chong told her clearly

"There are ten halls of the underworld, the ghost emperor of the five directions, Luo Yu for six days, and there are thousands of Yin soldiers, you can kill the spirit girl to destroy the heavens and the earth, and the result will definitely be lost and injured, the underworld is in charge of the order of the underworld, and it is impossible for you to make an exception, but I don't want to see this situation, so this is why this city god made a special trip to tell you the best of both ways." The so-called best of both worlds means that the underworld does not need to make an exception, and Nanzhao can also return to Shen Ru's old law.

Nan Zhao frowned after hearing this,

"Is there really the best of both worlds?"

"Absolutely!" Fan Chong replied

"The three worlds of yin and yang, all things and all spirits are born and restrain each other, karma is reincarnated, and the underworld is in charge of the dead, because the dead have their karma to be repaid in the underworld, the heinous evil ghosts have entered the eighteenth layer of hell, suffered from hell, and have done many good deeds in their lives, and the ghosts who are blessed in the body do not have to suffer from this, they can choose to re-enter the reincarnation of adults, and Shen Ru's karma in his previous life has not been cleared, so he served his sentence in the Yin Division, if you want to bring him back, you can naturally eliminate all karma for him, and there are no rules in the underworld to force him to stay!" After hearing this, Nan Zhao didn't think about it, and immediately asked

"Then how do you remove all the karma for him?"

"The Yin Man Division is like a day in the world, Shen Ru's karma should have stayed in the Yin Man Division for another hundred and eight years, if you want to bring him up at this moment, you need to double the punishment for him, and use your spirit body to cross the Bone Devouring River, the Demon Refining Mountain, and the Red Sea in the Netherworld!" Bone Devouring River, Demon Refining Mountain, Red Sea?

Nan Zhao didn't know much about these places in the underworld, but just listening to the name, it was a difficult place to go. It may be possible to save Shen Ruguo, so what's the matter if it's difficult?

"Good!" She said yes right away! Fan Chong might as well tell her

"Nanzhao, these three places, called the three passes of hell, are usually used by the ghosts and immortals who fly to the heavenly realm to cross the tribulation, even the city god is not capable of passing these three levels, at least the original spirit will be destroyed, and the heavy will be scattered, are you really sure you want to go?" He reminded her that even if she had a spiritual flower to protect herself, the three levels of hell would not be something she could easily break through, it was a good intention.

She had made up her mind and answered resolutely

"I Nanzhao must go!"

"Good!" Fan Chong nodded admiringly,

"Since this path is your choice, then this city god also guarantees you here, if you can successfully pass these three levels, Shen Ru's soul will be taken away by you."

"It's a deal!" Without further ado, she planned to go down to the underworld with Fan Chong at this moment, but she couldn't go to the underworld in the flesh, she had a lot of concerns, and after thinking about it, she said to Fan Chong

"Master Chenghuang, wait for me to go to the Diwang Temple in front, and then I will go down with you." I think that the king of the land and her are also friends of wine and meat, and there should be no big problems when the body is placed in his temple.

Fan Chong was also patient and made a special trip with her to the Diwang Temple. Before anyone could enter the temple gate, they heard an old man's voice coming from inside

"There are so many living people in this temple, why are there so many ghosts here tonight?" Nan Zhao saw the short and fat Lord Diwang standing at the gate of the temple to block it, as if he was unwilling to let the City God Master in.

The lord of the earth is the local god of the yang world, and the lord of the city god is the county lord of the underworld, they are the relationship between the eight poles, and the lord of the earth does not let him in, mostly because he is here to ask for a wish in this temple, and he is most afraid that the bad luck will spoil the wishing power, and the ghost spirit of the lord of the city god must not be put in.

Fan Chong also knew the rules, and he didn't have the same knowledge as him, so he informed the ghosts who came up with him, and they stayed at the gate of the temple.

Nan Zhao went into the temple alone.

"You girl, why did you deal with ghosts?" She said in a consultative tone

"Lord Earth King, I'm going to go down there, put your body here first, and then get it when you come back!" The lord of the earth was immediately unhappy,

"Do you think I'm an inn, come and go freely? You still have to pay for staying in the hotel! Nan Zhao hurriedly said with a smile

"Then how about bringing good wine and meat to the master next time?"

"Go...... Do you really think that old body is rare for you to have a little bit of wine and meat? Your body is a hot potato, as soon as your soul is out of your body, you can't keep many things to remember, at that time, do you want to guard you with your old body, or abandon this old temple to run for your life? Hearing this, she also felt that she couldn't stand this old man, but in this Yunzhou City, the Diwang Temple should be the safest, she thought about it again and came up with an idea,

"It's better like this, if I don't wake up for a long time, you ask someone to give Lu Dong, who guards the monument at the Gate of Life and Death, to say that with him, your old temple can be protected!"

"The dead girl is really calculating, no one will let go!" After the old man finished speaking, his eyes rolled and he asked curiously

"Anyway, what are you going to do down there?"

"I'm going to get him back!" Nan Zhao said expectantly, as if Shen Ru was about to stand in front of him alive in the blink of an eye.

The lord of the earth was stunned for a moment and asked her

"The county official outside told you?"

"Well, I will eliminate his karma, the debts of the underworld will be repaid, the two worlds of yin and yang, each will not owe each other, and everyone will be happy!" She said briskly, because the decision had been made, and there was nothing to change.

"The rules and regulations of the prefecture are strict, and it is feasible to promise you." The lord of the earth asked her again

"However, how does the underworld want you to eliminate his karma?"

"Three levels of hell!" Hearing this answer, the lord of the earth said in a deep voice

"Sure enough, the ghost of the underworld, where is it so easy to want!"

"I know, the king of the land, I'll go first!" Nan Zhao had already sat down next to his idol, his soul ready to go out of his body.

"Wait!" The lord of the land called to stop her

"Dead girl, do you know, what is the place of the three passes of hell?"

"I know! It can make ghosts go through calamities and become immortal lands! "The eighteen layers of hell can allow the karmic dead to be tortured and not die, and they will suffer there for the rest of their lives, while in the land of calamity, on the contrary, if they can be able to achieve immortality, if they can't, their souls will be scattered.

Therefore, the lord of the earth was surprised, it was the first time he saw someone so eager to die, and he regretted it.

"Don't worry, I'm a spirit girl!" Nan Zhao said with a smile that the body has been settled, and soon, without drinking the out-of-body soup, the spirit body can also come out of the body freely.

All the things that should be said were said, she walked out of the temple in a few steps, and after the lord of the earth stood at the temple gate and watched her and the yin official escape into the night, he sighed and said abruptly

"One bridge and two heads are born, the long-cherished wish to solve the millennium, the night comes and the evening breeze passes, I don't know where to return......"

"If things backfire, will you still be so right?" Nan Zhao couldn't hear the words of the lord of the earth, she followed Fan Chong down the Yin Road, and after returning all the sixteen dead, Fan Chong personally took her to the first level, the Bone Devouring River!

The river is as vast as the sea, you can't see the other side at a glance, the river is not deep, the water is as clear as a clear spring, so you can see that there are many soul bones in the river, which are left by the dead who have tried to cross the river for thousands of years.

In order to let her know that this devouring river is not as quiet and peaceful as it seems, Ju Chong picked a flower growing on the other side of the river on the underworld road and threw it into the river, and saw that the conspicuous flower instantly withered, turned into mist and disappeared!

Fan Chong said

"Ordinary little ghosts go in, less than half a pillar of incense, only soul bones remain, Nan Zhao, it's still too late to turn around at this moment!" Nan Zhao looked at the wide river and only asked him

"Master Chenghuang promised to be able to count!" With that, she walked alone into the river. Her feet fell into the bone-eating river, and it was extremely cold, as if thousands of tiny ice rushes had penetrated into her bones.

No wonder it's called the River of Bones! However, she did not flinch and continued to walk towards the middle of the river. Fan Chong saw that it was impossible for her to turn back, so he shouted at her from the shore

"Nanzhao, if you can cross the river, you will see this city god on the other side of the river!" She didn't answer, so all her aura was gathered on her body, thinking that she was defending against the cold waters of this bone-eating river.

The river quickly swallowed her neck, and her hair was smoking, cold, so cold, she felt that she would be like the flower on the other side at any time, turning into a wisp of cold water and merging into this bone-eating river.

How long will it take? Why hasn't the other side of the river appeared? Many times, when she felt that she was about to fall, she told herself that she was waiting for her on the other side as before, and that she would be there after a little while...... In this way, she walked in the Bone Devouring River for ten days, and when she came ashore, except for the cold body, the spirit body was still intact.

Fan Chong, who had already crossed the river in a Yin boat, was waiting for her on the shore for a long time, and he was not surprised to see her finally cross the Bone Devouring River, on the contrary, he believed that with her perseverance, it was not difficult to pass the first level.

He said earnestly

"Nan Zhao, the front is the Demon Refining Mountain, the water of the Bone Devouring River is dead, but the Demon Refining Mountain is alive, you have spent ten full days crossing the Bone Devouring River, this Demon Refining Mountain, you are afraid that you will not be able to cross it, go back at this moment, you still have to come-" Nan Zhao stood ashore for a moment, looked back at Fan Chong, and asked

"Why does Master Chenghuang always persuade me to go back?"

"Because after three hundred years, you can appear in the world, it is not easy to collect the spirit of today, and the soul destroys the three levels of hell, for a ghost who died early, it is not worth it!" She smiled sadly and looked elsewhere

"If you're not me, how do you know he's not worth it?" With that, she went further. The mountain shadow of the Demon Refining Mountain soon appeared in front of him, and the black pressure covered the sky of the underworld, and the ghost cloud floated in the air, forming a huge skull, and the scene was very strange.

Although it was thirty days in the underworld and only one day in the yang world, Nan Zhao still wanted to spend it quickly, so he strode towards the mountain.

The city god lord behind him had stopped, and a red-robed ghost fairy suddenly appeared beside him at this moment, and after seeing her enter the mountain, the red-robed ghost fairy spoke

"If she had known the truth, she wouldn't have said that to you again!" Cat flutter Chinese
