Verse 5: The Western Messenger
This should be the most deserted succession ceremony held since the records of the underworld, and the owners of the other nine halls did not come, only arranged for a small Yin official to come.
The other forces of the underworld only arranged for their Yin Gods and Yin Officials to come over; Yama Hall belongs to one person under ten thousand people in the underworld, and is the real controller of the power of the underworld, although there is a Fengdu Emperor above, but this emperor is basically indifferent.
The replacement of the owner of the Yama Hall has always been a major event in the underworld, and whoever changes it must attach great importance to it and give face; But this time, Bao Xiaoluo, a yellow-haired girl who has not dried up, has become the new owner of the Yama Palace, which makes the old guys from all sides feel deeply aggrieved, and there is a feeling of being trampled under the feet of the yellow-haired girl, and there are emotions in their hearts.
Bao Xiaoluo, the new king of Yama, has two characteristics, one is that she is a woman, and the other is that she is young; How can there be a reason for women to be in power in these three realms? Do you want these old antiques who have lived for endless years to respect a little girl? Where is the old face still separated?
With these two points collected, it is destined that Bao Xiaoluo, the new king, will be difficult to convince the public; Not even the people in the Yama Hall arrived.
There are a total of four ghost judges in the Yama Palace, namely Cui Jue, the Yin Law Division, who holds the life and death book in his left hand and the soul hooking pen in his right hand, which is specially executed to add longevity to the good and let the evil return to the yin.
The second is Wei Zheng, the director of the Reward Division, who is in charge of "Good Bo" and arranges all the good ghosts before his death, and rewards him according to the degree and amount of goodness before his death.
The third is Zhong Kui, the punishment of evil, who is in charge of the soul of "Evil Bo" who comes to report, first reflects in front of the evil mirror, showing good and evil, and distinguishing between good and bad. The souls of the bad people who did evil in their lives are all at his disposal.
The fourth is to investigate the way of Si Lu, whose duty is to let the good get good rewards, good things are promoted, so that the evil people can be punished as they deserve, and redress the wronged.
There are only two of the four people present today, Cui Jue and Wei Zheng, Zhong Kui and Lu Zhidao are nowhere to be seen, this matter has been told to Bao Xiaoluo in advance, these two people have not appeared in the underworld for a long time, and the others in the Yama Hall do not know where these two have gone;
According to the process of the succession ceremony, these two people also need to hand over the "Evil Thin" and "Reward and Punishment Book" in their hands to the new king Bao Xiaoluo, and now that these two people have not appeared, they can only be replaced by black and white impermanence.
After these processes are completed, the next step is the last step, Bao Xiaoluo led Meng Sanqi, Cui Jue and Wei Zheng and several people from the high platform and entered the main hall, Bao Xiaoluo sat on the throne at the top, next to Meng Sanqi, Cui Jue and Wei Zheng stood at the bottom, and then stood with the black and white impermanence, and then the next was the prefectural officials sent by various forces who came to watch the ceremony.
Now is the last process of the ceremony, that is, Bao Xiaoluo accepts the congratulations and gifts of these prefectural officials present; First the envoy of the Fengdu Emperor and the Dongyue Emperor, and then the envoy of the Jizo Bodhisattva, who was a small bald head; Then came the envoy sent by the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions, followed by the envoy sent by the Nine Palaces.
Before these people could finish their congratulations, a Yin soldier knelt at the door outside the main hall and said loudly, "King Qiqi, the Great Sikong of the Two Realms Mountain has 100,000 urgent letters delivered. ”
Such ceremonies are generally not allowed to be interrupted, except in the case of a particularly urgent event; Bao Xiaoluo didn't understand the rules, his small eyes glanced at Meng Sanqi, and when he saw the latter nodding, he said "Xuan".
Flutter
I only heard the sound of wings flapping, a black crow flew in from outside the hall, flapped its wings in the air in the center of the main hall, the crow changed into a cloud of black gas, and a figure appeared in the black gas and bowed to Bao Xiaoluo on the throne, "Tell the king, Satan, the fallen angel king of the Western Continent, sent the fallen angel Lucifer to the Two Realms Mountain, saying that he came to congratulate my king on entering the Yama Palace; And the god of the underworld, Sithorn, also sent the demon god Agareth to the mountains of the two realms to congratulate my king on his entry into the Yama Temple; Hades, the king of Hades in the West, also sent Minos to congratulate my king as the lord of the Yama Temple. ”
The whole underworld is divided into the east and the west, the western underworld is in charge of the western beings, and the eastern underworld is in charge of the eastern beings; The east and the west are bounded by the Two Realms Mountains, and without the permission of the Eastern Underworld, if the people of the Western Underworld cross the Two Realms Mountains, it means a war, so the people sent by the three forces in the West have to stop in front of the Two Realms Mountains; The only people who have the authority to let the people of the Western Underworld come over in the underworld are the Fengdu Emperor and the Yama Palace.
"These people from the West are not good, and they should not be let go easily."
"Those people in the West are all jackals, tigers and leopards, and wolves must not be lured into the house."
"Those people in the West have always coveted my territory in the East, and they are careful of deception."
“..................”
"I think you're making a bit of a fuss, just two or three cats and kittens that are so big, and we're still afraid of them?"
In front of the Yama Palace, the officials of the prefecture talked about it one after another, and many people were worried that the Western people who came this time were not good.
"Your Majesty, these ghosts in the West don't have a kind eye, so they shouldn't be allowed to go," Bai Wuchang said with a big tongue.
"The old man feels that he can rest assured, after all, their trip is in the name of congratulating the king, if they refuse to leave, it seems that our Eastern Difu is less generous," Wei Zheng bowed and said.
Listening to the discussion of the people, some for and some against; Bao Xiaoluo, who was sitting on the throne, had to look at Meng Sanqi for help again.
"The minister agrees with Lord Wei's statement," Meng Sanqi said, bowing down.
"Da Sikong listens to the order, let it go" Bao Xiaoluo ordered the figure in the black air in the main hall, paused and continued, "Remember to arrange people to escort the envoys of the three parties, and report immediately if there is any change." ”
The black qi above the main hall of "Subordinate obedience" changed into a black crow again, flapping its wings and flying out of the Yama Palace, flying towards the front of the Two Realms Mountain.
The pattern of the Western Underworld is much more complicated than that of the Eastern Underworld, and the Western Underworld is currently divided into three forces, one is the power of the fallen angels led by Satan.
It is rumored that God first created angels and then created human beings in the West, but God favored human beings more than angels, and fell into the devil out of jealousy, and even tried to usurp the throne of God.
The second force is the god of the underworld, Sithorne, who is one of the many ancient gods with seventy-two demon gods and seven demon kings of hell under his command; The nine layers of hell in the West are all controlled by them.
The third force is Hades, the king of Hades, who is a brother to Zeus and Poseidon, the god of the sea, and is in charge of the affairs of the Western underworld, who obeys the will of Zeus and reports to Zeus when the case cannot be tried.
None of these three forces are subordinate to the other, but they also maintain a delicate balance; Hades, the king of Hades, is the kinder side of the Eastern Underworld.
