Chapter 203: Taizong's Past Trip to the Underworld

Li Shimin sighed: "At that time, I was fortunate that Guanyin rescued me, hey?" She came to Datang back then, just to find the scriptures, and finally picked you! ”

Sanzang caught some important clues in a trance, but he was not sure, so he only said: "What happened later?" ”

Li Shimin said, "Later, when I woke up and came back, I only called a ghost!" The panic was so panicked that the whole palace couldn't sleep all night. My body was too weak to bear, and I didn't come to court for five or seven days. The medical officer said that my pulse was not correct, and my five organs were out of qi, and I was afraid that it would only be within seven days.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to announce that Xu Maogong, the Duke of the Protector, and the Duke of Wei Chi were driving. I see the hell, Shubao asked for the order and Jingde to guard the palace gate, and I played it accurately.

On the evening of the same day, he was neatly armoured, holding a golden gourd and an axe, and guarded outside the palace gate. I didn't see the cult for several nights. I slept peacefully, but the imperial diet was detracted and my illness worsened.

Seeing that I was on the occasion of life and death, I had no choice but to declare that the ministers would enter the palace to entrust the future.

Wei Zheng said that I was still saved, saying that he had a book and asked me to take it to Cui Qi, the judge of the underworld. said that he would read Wei Zheng's affection and let His Majesty come back to life."

Sanzang was surprised when he heard this: "He Wei Zheng is a mortal, how dare he conclude that a judge dares to let people come back to life without permission?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Facts have proved that he does have this ability!" Listen to me, I was also skeptical at that time, but I still took the letter in my hand and died. The three palaces and six courtyards, the queen and concubines all mourned and wore filial piety, and stopped the Zigong Palace on the White Tiger Hall to wait for my resurrection.

My soul was slim out of the Wufeng Tower, and I walked to the suburbs, walking alone among the barren countryside and grass. was frightened and unable to find the way, only to see a person on the other side, shouting loudly: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, come here!" Come here! ”

When I heard this, I looked up and saw the man: with a black veil on his head, a wat in his hand, dressed in a robe, and carrying a book of life and death. I felt that it was a person from all Yin Divisions, so I went over there, and I asked him who he was, and that person was Cui Qi, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites, who was the judge of the case in the Yin Division. On the Senluo Palace, he saw the ghost dragon of Jinghe suing His Majesty for help and punishment, and the king of Qin sent a ghost envoy to urge His Majesty to ask Sancao to deal with the case. Therefore, I am here to wait

I was overjoyed to tell him that there was a letter from Wei Zheng, and the judge opened the seal and said, he was bound to repay Wei Zheng's descendants, and today he has a book, keep it and send it back to Yang, and re-ascend the Yuque.

I and Judge Cui walked to the Yin Division, and suddenly saw a city on the way, which was the ghost gate of the Netherworld, and there was a Yin general who led me into the city and walked down the street.

After a while, he saw the ancestor and his brother Jiancheng and Yuanji, and came to ask for their lives. Fortunately, Judge Cui summoned a green-faced fanged ghost envoy to retreat Jiancheng and Yuanji, and I had to get out.

After walking for a few miles, I saw a blue tile tower, which was the Yin Si Senluo Palace.

Ten generations of Yan Junkong bowed his back to greet me. I humbled down, I didn't dare to move forward, the Ten Kings Dao I am the king of the yang world, he is the ghost king of the underworld, of course, why do you have to give up, I am inferior, I go forward into the Senluo Palace, and the ten kings are finished, and the guests sit down.

King Qin Guang gave up his hand and said that the ghost dragon of Jinghe told me to save and kill back, I had dreamed of the old dragon asking for help at night, but he was allowed to be fine, and Wei Zheng was killed in a dream of chess in the palace. It's not my fault.

The dragon of the Ten Kings Dao was destined to be killed at the hands of Cao Cao, but he argued here that His Majesty was determined to come here to deal with the case of Sancao, so we had to go through a process and send him to the wheel of reincarnation. ”

Sanzang was confused when he heard this, and asked: "It is said that it is the other side of Sancao, and only His Majesty has taken it, but the one who complained has already been reincarnated?" ”

"It's Hades' kindness!"

Sanzang shook his head: "It's not kindness, it's not kindness, there must be tricks behind it?" His Majesty Wanwang elaborated. ”

Li Shimin listened to him refute himself, and was a little angry, but he didn't attack, and said in a deep voice:

"The king of Hades didn't talk about the Dragon King's complaint again, but just ordered the judge to take the book to look at Zhenyangshou, and Judge Cui to review it, and saw that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in Nanganbuzhou was destined to be Zhenguan for 13 years. Remembering Wei Zheng's kindness, he took a large pen of thick ink and added two paintings to the word 'one', but presented the book.

When the ten kings saw that my name was destined for thirty-three years, they said, Your Majesty is relieved, and there are still twenty years of longevity. This is already a clear case, please return to the roots.

I have the possibility of resurrection! ”

Sanzang was shocked again: "This ...... A judge dares to change the book of life and death without authorization? ”

"Isn't this Wei Zheng's kindness!"

Li Shimin was very complacent, and continued:

"The Ten Yama Kings sent Judge Cui and Zhu Taiwei to send me back to my soul. I bow down and thank him, and I want to thank Yama, and the ten kings don't want anything else, just pumpkins. I was overjoyed, and then I said goodbye.

Taiwei Zhu held a soul-attracting banner and led the way in front, and Judge Cui then protected me and walked out of Yousi. Please visit the prefecture.

I am also a novelty, following him for several miles, I saw a high mountain, which is a dark and dark mountain, hiding ghosts and monsters, hidden evil demons, and it is a sinister place. When I looked at it at random, I saw spirits, gods and demons, wild ghosts, and evil spirits everywhere, all of whom came to surround me.

This time, it was all thanks to the judge's protection that he passed Yin Mountain. After going through many yamen and 18 layers of hell, and passing through Naihe Bridge and other places, it is simply full of ghosts, and the sorrowful sound is deafening everywhere, and the evil monsters are terrifying.

In the end, I followed them to the city of the dead, and immediately saw a group of ghosts with waist and arms and headless feet, and stepped forward to stop them, and they wanted to ask for their lives. ”

Sanzang asked, "Is it the person who died without His Majesty's promise?" ”

Li Shimin said: "No, Judge Cui said that those people are the ghosts of the sixty-four smoke and dust, the seventy-two grass cowards, the princes and the leaders; It is all the unjust karma of death in vain, there is no collection and management, no overbirth, and there is no money to entangle, they are all lonely and hungry ghosts.

In general, they are all vain ghosts caused by my conquest. I had to use some money to save it. I didn't bring any money, but Judge Cui borrowed money for me and distributed it to those vain ghosts.

However, those ghosts are too resentful and don't want to ask for money, as long as I die, Judge Cui has no choice but to accept them, divide the gold and silver equally, and then I will return to the yang world to do a water and land conference, and wait for them to be superborn!

Sanzang exclaimed: "Water and land conference? The one presided over by the poor monks? ”

"Exactly!"

Sanzang's mind turned quickly, and he said in his heart: "This is connected." The Dragon King of Jinghe is an introduction, all to create an excuse for the emperor's soul to travel to the underworld, and to ask the emperor to see his deceased father and brother in the underworld, so that they can ask for their lives to scare the emperor, and let the emperor see the eighteen layers of hell in the underworld, see the demons and monsters everywhere, and deliberately pass by the city of vain death, let the endless vain ghosts come to ask for their lives, and force the emperor to open a water and land conference to start the journey to the west! ”

Li Shimin said energetically, regardless of whether Sanzang was distracted or not, and continued:

Then the demons divided the gold and silver, but they retreated. I also got the main road, and Taiwei Zhu shook the soul flag, led me out of the city of vain death, and ran to the Pingyang Road, until the Chaosheng Guidao Gate, Judge Cui instructed again, let me go to the yang world to do a water and land conference, and surpass the ownerless soul, not only so that there is no voice of revenge in the yin division, but also enjoy the celebration of peace in the yang world. It will also make my descendants last forever and the country will be eternal.

Only then did I get on the horse, and when I arrived at the Weishui River, I was kicked by Taiwei Zhu, so I took off my yin and went back to the yang world.
