Chapter 3: The First Entry into the Underworld
On the way to the school before, Lin Xiu noticed a department store and supermarket, not far from the school.
After leaving the school gate, Lin Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the registration line that was already full of Chimelong, fortunately he came over in advance, otherwise when would he have to wait for it.
Although Belvedere University is just an ordinary university, it is why most people who are self-aware of their grades choose these ordinary universities.
After struggling through the crowd, he walked east for about 500 meters, and across the crossroads of Yige, Lin Xiu saw the signboard of Xinxia Department Store from a distance
Suddenly, Lin Xiu noticed that there seemed to be a familiar figure on the side of the road opposite, a girl in a yellow floral dress with a ponytail was standing at the intersection and looking at the indicated time on the traffic light.
Isn't this the girl named Qian Tongtong I met on the train before?
Qian Tongtong seemed to be a little anxious, looking at the time of the traffic light and looking behind him from time to time
Finally, the green light turned on, and Qian Tongtong hurriedly trotted across the road, but when Qian Tongtong walked to the middle of the road, a red car rushed out of the side at great speed and crashed straight into Qian Tongtong!
"Danger!"
Lin Xiu, who was also on the road, noticed the sedan that rushed out, and quickly ran towards Qian Tongtong without thinking
Qian Tongtong was stunned for a moment when she saw Lin Xiu rushing towards her, but then she was pushed backwards with a huge force!
"Bang!"
Then there was a loud bang!
Lin Xiu was knocked out like a cannonball, and smashed hard in the middle of the crossroads.
Qian Tongtong, who was pushed away and sat on the ground, looked at Lin Xiu in a reaction, her eyes widened, tears poured out, she stood up and ran to Lin Xiu as soon as possible
And the red sedan turned around again and crashed into Qian Tongtong!
Fortunately, because of the car accident, the whole intersection was already in chaos, and other vehicles blocked the red sedan.
It seemed that he couldn't get close to Lin Xiu and Qian Tong anymore, and the red sedan slammed out of the accelerator, crashed into a Beetle blocking the way, and walked away...
"Call an ambulance, call an ambulance!"
At this time, someone shouted on the side of the road, and Qian Tongtong hugged Lin Xiu and cried: "I'm sorry, it's... I hurt you, woo..."
"Please, hold on, the ambulance will be there soon"
But at this time, Lin Xiu couldn't hear Qian Tongtong's words at all, he was covered in blood, and there was a ringing in his ears, and his eyes began to gradually darken.
Am I just dead?
Lin Xiu sighed unwillingly in his heart.
Just when he was knocked into the air just now, Lin Xiu saw clearly the face inside the red car, which was one of the two weirdos he had met on the train before!
Obviously, they were going for Qian Tongtong, and it was Qian Tongtong who should have been killed, but by mistake, they didn't expect that Lin Xiu would be killed in the middle and save Qian Tongtong.
At the last moment, Lin Xiu wanted to open his eyes, but he was overwhelmed by a feeling of tiredness, and his consciousness began to fog......
When Lin Xiu opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a place where it was extremely dark in all directions, there was nothing around him, as if it was nothingness, and the discomfort and tiredness of being hit by a car before had also disappeared.
"Is this the world after death?"
Lin Xiu couldn't help but think.
At this moment, the surrounding darkness began to drift away like wind and sand, so that Lin Xiu couldn't help but close his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, Lin Xiu found that he was on a stone-paved path, this road seemed to be very long, and there was no end in sight in front of it, and behind Lin Xiu was a huge stone monument, but there was no mark engraved on the stone monument.
"It's... Could this be Huangquan Road? ”
An eerie feeling made Lin Xiu shudder, and Lin Xiu was basically sure that he might have hung up.
Lin Xiu began to beat slowly along the path, and after walking for about ten minutes, Lin Xiu finally saw a wooden attic in front of him, and there were still people coming in and out of the door.
Lin Xiuye walked in, and the decoration in the attic was a bit like a teahouse in the ancient Yang Realm, with boxy tables and benches all sitting and chatting. And these people are dressed in similar clothes to the ancients.
At this time, Lin Xiu noticed that there was a person sitting in the corner, who was wearing modern clothes like him and was drinking
Lin Xiu walked over and sat opposite the man, the man didn't say anything, but took another bowl on the side, put it in front of Lin Xiu, and poured a bowl of wine for Lin Xiu
"I know what you want to ask, you drink this bowl of wine first, and I'll tell you everything."
After Lin Xiu heard it, he didn't ink, and poured the wine on the table into his mouth
When he was in the Yang Realm, Lin Xiu had basically never drunk much wine since he was a child, and as soon as this bowl of wine was served, Lin Xiu felt a hot and spicy sensation, like a stinging sensation burning his throat.
The person on the other side couldn't stop laughing when he saw Lin Xiu's expression, and poured a bowl for Lin Xiu again: "Little brother, it seems that he didn't drink much when he was in the Yang Realm?" ”
A strange thought suddenly appeared in Lin Xiu's mind: "The soul can also drink after death?" ”
"You may have a lot of questions, but I won't talk to you about them all because of time, so I'll pick and choose the key points."
"First of all, you may have realized that you are dead, that is, you have come here at the end of your life, and this is just as you think, this is the Netherworld, but people here are generally called the underworld! And I am the guide of the underworld, responsible for guiding people like you who are new to the underworld. ”
"The area of the underworld yin soul survival and reincarnation is hundreds of millions of kilometers, far wider than the territory of the yang realm, and this vast area is only the tip of the iceberg of the entire underworld"
Speaking of this, the man appeared and threw a few thick books to Lin Xiu
"This is an introduction to the history of the underworld and some of the current distribution of the underworld, you will see it later"
"Now the main thing to tell you is that from the moment you crossed the Huangquan Road and came here, you no longer have anything to do with everything in the Yang Realm before, and the first thing you did when you came to the Underworld was to go to the Judge to test your behavior and other conditions in the Yang Realm, so as to determine whether you are an extremely evil person and whether you need to be sent to hell to be punished."
"Judge?"
Lin Xiu also knew a little bit about Persona when he was studying, and there were also some stories about the underworld.
"Yes, it's Judge Lu who is in charge of trying you!"
The guide said
There are countless Yin soldiers in the underworld, and the judges need to review many Yin souls from the Yang Realm, and there are naturally not a few judges, but although there are many judges, they can't be the size of their official positions.
They are respectively one to nine Xuan, the nine Xuan judges are the most, and the one Xuan is the second, most of the judges are only one to six Xuan, these judges are responsible for examining the ordinary people of the Yang Realm or some people who have an identity and a half-official position.
And the judges above the six mysteries are a huge dividing line, and the seven magistrates are responsible for judging important ministers of state and people of extremely high status.
The Eight Xuan Judges are responsible for hearing the monarchs, emperors, and some people with special status, who are heinous.
As for the Nine Xuan Judges, it is said that he assists the Ten Palaces in the Yama trial and manages all the judges under him
The Lu judge mentioned by the guide envoy is a seven-dimensional judge!
"Why am I, an ordinary person, judging me as a seven-mystery judge?"
Lin Xiu asked, according to what the guide said, he should be a judge of the second and third mysteries of a poor boy, but why is he a judge of the seven mysteries?
"This is not something that those of us can know, there is a special order from above, and the yin souls from the Yang Realm today are all judged by Judge Lu."
The guide spread his hands helplessly: "But don't worry, Judge Lu is an upright person, as long as you don't kill people and rob people's girls when you are in the Yang Realm, you shouldn't be beaten to hell." At most, it's just a punishment and reincarnation to be an animal for several lifetimes."
But Lin Xiu is not worried about this, he just hopes to be reincarnated as soon as possible.
The guide envoy took a sip of the bowl: "There is actually no difference between the underworld and the yang world, and the yin soul in the underworld is also substantial, and it also needs to eat and drink to keep the yin soul stable." ”
"Let's take a look at that first, there's still some time before the trial."
Lin Xiu looked at the book in his hand and opened a volume of the History of the Underworld
Legend has it that the underworld began as a dark world shrouded in darkness, with countless evil spirits and demons, and in ancient times, three extremely terrifying powerhouses suddenly appeared in the underworld, and the three of them gathered together to open up a new world suitable for survival in the underworld with great strength.
And left three treasures are: the reincarnation mirror, the prison tower, the purple thunder gun, of which the reincarnation mirror is turned into a well, and when you put it into the well, you can wash away all the cause and effect of the predecessor and choose the body of the six realms to reincarnate into the yang realm.
The Hell Tower will contain the Yin Soul from the Yang Realm and enter the Underworld, and then the people from the Ten Halls under the Three Great War Gods will judge the evil of the Yin Soul when they committed crimes in the Yang Realm, and punish the Yin Soul according to their crimes, and send the Yin Soul into each purgatory on the eighteenth floor of the Hell Tower to be tortured to repay the karmic sins of the Yang Realm.
As for the purple thunder spear, it was originally a treasure used by Huang Tianxiang, the head of the three great war gods, to open up the underworld, and since the opening of the underworld region, the purple thunder spear has been inserted into the purple thunder peak at the edge of the northeast boundary of the underworld to suppress the evil spirits and demons on the edge of the realm.
After tens of thousands of years of changes, the underworld also has order, under the leadership of the masters of the underworld such as the Ten Palaces Yama and the Emperor Xudu, three cities have been established: Xudu City, Purgatory City, and Heavenly Hades City, laying the foundation for reincarnation, and the yin souls who enter the underworld from the yang world enter the reincarnation in an orderly manner, and the sinful evil souls are still being punished in the prison tower, but because many yin souls in the yang world enter the underworld, and the six reincarnations are not a temporary thing, the ten halls of Yama will not enter the reincarnation of the yin souls into the three cities to wait, but this is not known geometry, A large number of Yin spirits flowed into the three major cities, and they were rapidly established and developed.
Subsequently, after Meng Po's black and white impermanence bull head and horse face and other special yin spirits entered the underworld, they joined the underworld governance, and the order of the six reincarnations was further improved.
In the following years, the three righteous gods disappeared in the underworld, and some people once said that the three righteous gods once again stepped into the outer area of the underworld, which was bound to expand the underworld's territory, but there were still no traces of the three of them in the past thousand years, and there were also strong people who stepped into the unknown area but also did not return.....
