Hyakki Night Walk: Fairy Stick (14)
As mentioned in this book earlier, the so-called immortals in mythological stories are actually cultivated by humans who have changed into ghosts after death. In the same way, the Ten Hall Yama Kings are certainly no exception. Whether it is the king of Qin Guang or the king of reincarnation. Before they became Hades, or rather, before they became ghosts. They are all human beings just like Li Xiaofan.
And the underworld was opened up by these powerful ghosts. The formation of the underworld began with a few Hades taking the lead in the eldest brother. They first look for the younger brother, and then establish the relevant order and rules. Gradually, the institution of the Ten Palaces of Hades was thus established. In other words, the civilization of the underworld was born after human civilization.
As the king of the Ten Palaces, the jurisdiction of the region does not involve overseas regions. Because overseas, they also have their prefectures. And the person in charge of the overseas prefecture is not the king of the Ten Palaces.
However, the formation of the underworld was not born overnight. It is even more impossible, each country has its own independent prefecture. In fact, among the countries of the East, there is only one prefecture.
Even in today's era, there are only three prefecture institutions in the world that have perfect order and sufficient foundation. They are called the Eastern Underworld, the Western Hell, and the Greek Underworld.
Whether it's hell or hell, or the Greek underworld. Without exception, they have all gone through a long period of evolution.
Among the three prefectures, the prefecture in the east is the largest. Because, there are ten halls of Hades in the Eastern Prefecture to rule the order. But in the Western Hell, there is only one Satan. There was also only one Hades in the Greek underworld.
If an Eastern human being, died in the West excessively. His soul will naturally be detained in the Western Underworld, not the Eastern Underworld. After all, black and white impermanence will not cross the strait all the way to detain your soul.
Unfortunately, the United Kingdom, where Li Xiaofan is now, is an area under the jurisdiction of Western Hell.
So, when he fell asleep, he entered a strange place.
As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of fire all around, and magma gushes out from the surrounding leylines from time to time. The whole environment gives an extremely burning feeling.
After seeing the unfamiliar environment in this vicinity clearly, Li Xiaofan was dumbfounded. After all, in the Nine Deserts, there is no such harsh environment. Even if the yellow sand is everywhere, it's much better than the magma hell all around.
With a nervous mood, Li Xiaofan hurriedly pulled out the Hades blade from the hundred ghost robes. Fortunately, before going to bed, Li Xiaofan habitually put on a hundred ghost robes. What he was afraid of was this kind of sudden accident. Unexpectedly, this time he really let him touch it.
Walking among the mountains and rocks where magma was tumbling everywhere, Li Xiaofan looked into the distance and found that faintly, he could see the figures of several ghosts and monsters, shuttling between the mountains and rocks. From this, he came to a conclusion. This place should be an underworld, and I didn't come to the wrong place. But why, instead of going to the Nine Deserts, I went to this place that I had never been to before?
After thinking about it, in the end, Li Xiaofan came to an astonishing conclusion.
"I'll drop a big Buddha stick, this place, shouldn't it be the hell of the West?" Li Xiaofan finally came back to his senses and understood his situation.
