908 - The inside story of the underworld
As soon as I spoke, a man's majestic voice came from a small door behind Yang Xue: "Bold, why don't you kneel down when you see the Son of Yama?" ”
"What's that?"
Yang and I were shocked, and when we looked behind the voice, we saw a man wearing black armor and a black helmet, who had carried two big copper hammers on his shoulders, and walked out step by step.
This is also an old man, it is the paper shop in Dongtuo Town, the eldest apprentice of Mr. Mu, Huang Bipo.
"Huang Bipo, even you are a liar?"
I asked in surprise, and Huang Bipo's voice became even more powerful: "Who is the liar, call me a general!" ”
"General? I'm still vaulting me! ”
I roared, and the white dragon immediately turned around and gave me a look, and said in a deep voice: "Little Liuzi, don't mess around, this is not the yang world." ”
"White Dragon, you, which one are you singing?"
After Yang Death asked, Bai Long still didn't smile, respectfully raised his hand towards Yang Xue in front of him, and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, let me introduce you again, this girl is the son of the contemporary Yama, don't hurry up!" ”
Seeing that Bai Long said this, although Yang died and we were still the second monk who couldn't figure out their heads, they didn't dare to be rude anymore, so they bowed their hands respectfully towards Yang Xue.
Bai Long pointed to Huang Bipo who came over and said: "This is the general of the Heavenly Son of Heaven Hall in the underworld, and there is nothing wrong with him asking you to call him General." ”
"See 'Pads' General." Yang and I are in unison.
After seeing the salute, I asked again, "Bailong, what the hell is going on, you should be able to tell us now, right?" ”
Yang Xue smiled at me and said, "Don't worry, let's talk as we go." ”
As he spoke, Yang Xue turned around and walked towards the small door that Huang Bipo walked out of, Huang Bipo quickly got out of the way, and then followed Yang Xue forward, and Bailong also took me and Yang Death to follow.
Entering the small door of the apse, there was a straight and straight secret passage in front of it, the road was very narrow, so narrow that you could touch the walls on both sides with your arms stretched out, and it was very long, so long that you could not see the end, and you could only see the white light shooting out from the front of the road, which should be the exit.
While walking along the secret passage, Yang Xue opened her mouth again: "It's normal for you to be surprised like this when you see me in this kind of place, but when I finish talking about things, you will understand." ”
Yang Xue began to say without looking back: "With the knowledge that human beings have now, they have already understood one thing, human society was originally born with a female society as the main body, that is to say, it was women who initially dominated the direction of the entire human race. ”
Yang and I nodded.
Yang Xue said: "But since the hasty end of the women's society, mankind has entered an era dominated by men, and it has continued until now, even now many people are shouting about equality between men and women, but it is just a matter of face, equality in the real sense, but it has never come." ”
"Are you going to give us a history lesson?" I said it casually.
After hearing this, Bai Long immediately glared at me, and said with a straight face: "Little Liuzi, don't mess around!" ”
"Leave him alone, this kid hasn't always been like this, I'm used to it." Yang Xue looked back and smiled, waved her hand and continued: "Because men have been in power since ancient times, the world's worship of men is far greater than that of women, so it can be regarded as catering to the people of the world. In other words, in fact, it is not the mythical and legendary Ten Hall Yamas that are in charge of the Netherworld, the so-called 'Ten Hall Yamas', which are just illusions used to deceive the world and cater to the public. Just because the world praises 'Bao Qingtian', 'Jiang Ziwen' and other heroes praised by the world, so the underworld struck while the iron was hot, and under the pretext that these heroes of all dynasties and generations were named the king of Hades after their deaths, to deceive the world, just to make it easier to control the mortals in the world......"
Yang Death and I were dumbfounded, but Bai Long seemed to have known this for a long time, and there was not the slightest shock on his face.
I looked at Bai Long as if he was verifying, Bai Long glanced back at me, bowing his head slightly, obviously, what Yang Xue said was true.
At this time, Yang Xue said again: "In fact, from ancient times to the present, the rulers of the Netherworld are all women, and there has never been any man. This is the rule of the underworld throughout the ages, because the underworld is the yin land, according to human beings, women are yin, men are yang, and women are naturally more sensitive and calm than men, because of this, women are more suitable for the environment in the underworld, more handy, so from the beginning of the existence of the underworld, the ghost kings who know the inside of the underworld will search for the female heroes in the world everywhere, and then after their death, they will be included in the underworld to entrust them with important tasks, and share the responsibility of the ten halls of Yama for the underworld, gradually, They became the subjects of the Netherworld......"
"But, why haven't I heard of any of this?" Yang Death asked: "Don't say I've heard of it, even in some ancient classics in the exorcism world, I have never seen anyone write a stroke." ”
"Because it's a secret!"
Huang Bipo opened his mouth on the side: "Didn't the Son of Heaven already say just now, this world is originally dominated by men, so who would willingly surrender to a group of women?" Therefore, in order to facilitate the work and avoid extraneous complications, in fact, the management team of the 'Ten Palaces Yama', which has always been dominated by women, has never been made public, even in the eyes of the vast majority of the middle and low-level management personnel of the Netherworld Prefecture, the management of the Underworld is still the legendary Ten Palaces Yama, but in fact, those ten people themselves are non-existent......"
"Like, a puppet?" I asked.
Yang Xue nodded: "That's right, so to speak." The so-called stories of Bao Zheng, Kou Zhun and others who were elected to the underworld to become the king of Yama are all here to keep this secret, although they really played an extremely important role in the underworld after their souls returned to Huangquan, but it is we who really manage this place behind the scenes......"
Speaking of this, Yang Xue suddenly stopped, turned towards the empty wall on the left, only raised her hands and gently pushed, a door appeared on the wall, with the outline of the door becoming clearer and clearer, the door opened with a 'squeak', behind the door, there was a bright and empty hall, there was a group of girls walking around busily in the hall, it was like a big company with only women working.
Among these women, there are girls as young as teenagers, old women as old as seventy or eighty years old, some are dressed in modern clothes, some are wearing ancient hair ornaments, and there are dozens of people with rough eyes.
"Are they ......," I asked.
"All of them are Ten Hall Yamas." When she said this, Yang Xue's expression was slightly proud: "These are the women who have been selected to work here from ancient times to the present, after arriving here, everyone performs their own duties and is responsible for the operation of the entire Netherworld Mansion, handling all the past documents, personnel and material scheduling of the entire Netherworld Mansion, in short, all the matters in the Netherworld Mansion, so the will and orders that should be issued by the 'Ten Palaces of Yama' are actually conveyed from this hall." ”
Yang Xue said as she took us inside, I glanced back at Yang Death, who was following at the end, and found that he glanced back from time to time, and suddenly asked: "This wall is actually a secret door, so, where does the light at the end of the corridor lead?" ”
"Eighteen Floors of Hell."
Huang Bipo said on the side: "This office hall is specially designed, and it is inevitable that someone will break in and easily find the location of this office office, so there are hundreds of traps set up in the corridors along the way, and every wall along the way is a secret door, but only one leads to the real hall, and the rest of the rooms are all kinds of traps." And if the intruder doesn't notice the mystery of the secret door on the surrounding wall all the way, he will naturally follow the light at the end of the corridor, walk and walk, and before you know it, you will enter hell, and there is no ...... to return."
Hearing this, Yang and I felt a chill.
At this time, Yang Xue, who led us forward, opened his mouth again: "Those of us who work here adopt a rotation system, and each woman who is selected to work here has a long or short service time, depending on her virtue and Taoism during her lifetime, and after being selected, she will rotate every ten years, and ten people will be blindly selected from it to serve as the post of 'Ten Palaces Yama', and use special disguises to appear to the outside world......"
Yang Xue raised her hand and pointed to the corner of the hall on the right as she spoke, and saw ten sets of costumes hanging on the wall, no, to be precise, it should be ten skins, the skins of ten Hades.
"The main reason for doing this is that the power will always be in the hands of one person, which will lead to the imbalance of power in the underworld and fall into chaos."
Speaking of which, Yang Xue looked back at us and sneered contemptuously: "We are different from you in the human world, although we are in the land of the underworld where yin qi is the heaviest, but it is much whiter and brighter than the human world. It can be said that it is the most honest and honest place in the world......"
"I understand what you say......
Yang Death quickly took two steps to catch up with Yang Xue, and asked with a frown: "So, what is going on with this turmoil in the Netherworld?" Who is the monk whose name is Guo? What is the use of us chess pieces? ”
"I'm afraid this matter started about fifty years ago......
As she spoke, Yang Xue sighed slightly, and said: "Just fifty years ago, the 'fairness' that had never been broken in the underworld was broken for the first time......
