Chapter Ninety-Six: Soul Wandering to the Underworld (Part II)
"Ahh I slowly opened my eyes, and I saw a stranger below me tied to an iron pillar.
I've never seen this man before, but judging by his appearance, this man has a sharp mouth and cheeks, and his face is white. Seeing what he had suffered, I didn't think he was a good person. And the environment I saw was very different from the rest of the world.
"Is this the eighteenth layer of hell? I looked at the darkness around me, and there was a faint glow of fire in the distance, where I could faintly see things, and below me was a large pit full of lava.
"Haha, eighteen layers of hell?Shen Lilong, have you ever seen such an eighteen layers of hell?" I heard the person who spoke, and suddenly looked back. Seeing his true face scared me.
"Who are you? Don't come here, I'm not a bad person!" I saw that he was burly and tall. The appearance of it makes people panic. His big eyes were as bright as lamps, his nose, horns, ears, and a huge axe in his hand, and he stood in front of me with a loud voice.
"I said Shen Lilong, what are you afraid of! You haven't done anything bad!" I saw this person look at me and said with a smile: "Only those who do bad things are afraid of me, you look at the soul who is tied to the ghost pile, he will be afraid of me when he does bad things." Looking in the direction this person was pointing, he saw that the living soul was being tortured by the ghosts on both sides and screamed loudly.
"What did he do, you have to do this to him!" I saw that the man in front of me had been punished like this, and felt that it was unfair, and said to the man who looked like an ox, "Let him go quickly, you see that he has fainted, and if this is the case, he will really die." I saw the cow-like man in front of me laughing.
"Hehe, I said Shen Lilong, people call you Shen Daxian, and I won't bend you at all. This person said sarcastically to me with a smile: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, I guess you must know this truth." We also have the royal law of my underworld, and if this person has committed a crime in his life, he should be punished. "This person broke the law before he was born, and he should go to hell! Is this the eighteenth layer of hell?" I finished speaking, and looked at this man who looked like a cow in confusion.
"Haha, a soul like him is not yet the time to enter the eighteenth layer of hell, and whether he can enter the eighteenth layer of hell depends on how many sins he has. "I heard the man who looked like a cow say that the eighteen layers of hell are even more terrible than here, and oh, I'm glad I didn't do anything bad.
"Then where is this? Is it the Hades Palace?" I looked at this person and asked suspiciously, "Why haven't I seen Lord Hades, I've seen him before." "Hahahaha, it's only when you saw it that the king of Hades ordered me to wait for you here. "Oh, I see, it turns out that Hades already knows the ins and outs of this.
I took a closer look at the man, and by this time my panic had long since vanished, and I was curious about the man who looked like a cow. The gods of hell are fierce and vicious, and they have everything. This person alone made me think about it thoroughly, and I looked at it and nodded.
"Oh, you're the legendary Big Bull. I suddenly came to my senses, and said to him with a smile: "Junior brother Shen Lilong, when I came here, I was received by my brother, and there is Brother Lao." "Yo, Shen Daxian is quite good at talking, your clever mouth is the advantage of your life. I saw the bull head flattering me and said: "Heavenly Immortal Venerable King Chang Lao Zu has made you a proud disciple, and it is your excellent mouth." Hearing the words of the eldest brother this year, I couldn't help laughing in my heart.
"Brother Niutou, the younger brother doesn't understand something, so he has to ask the elder brother for advice. "I watched as the creature was tied to the pillar, being whipped by the two little ghosts. Puzzled, he asked, "Since this person has done a lot of evil, why don't you send him to hell......?" I saw Brother Niutou look at me and laugh.
"Brother Bullhead, what are you laughing at?" I looked at Brother Bullhead's laughter, I didn't know what he meant, and asked confusedly: "Is it a heavenly machine, if it is a heavenly machine, I won't ask." "Hahahaha, I saw the bull head laugh at me again.
This laughter made me feel creepy, could it be that I had said the wrong thing? I looked at the bull-headed brother standing in front of me in alarm. "Brother Xian, this is not a heavenly opportunity, you also have such a rule in the world, if a person commits a crime and does not admit it, he will be severely tortured and beaten before he confesses, and we are the same in the underworld, everything is the same in heaven and in the underworld. Only when he confesses will he go to a different hell to suffer. "Oh, Brother Bull's words have made me understand one thing, that is, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and what I see now is the evil consequences of doing evil deeds, but now it is only a small part of the retribution. When I saw this, my heart was shocked.
"Oh, when my brother said that, I understood, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. I looked at Brother Niutou and asked in confusion: "If the trial is wrong, wouldn't it be more wrong, if it is wrong, then the soul is not ......" I didn't finish my words, only to see Brother Niutou look at me and say sternly: "You think it's the same as you in the world, for a little money, you will judge indiscriminately! Even if the judge dares to do this, the way of heaven will not allow him!" I listened to Brother Niutou's words, oh, and nodded.
I looked at the living soul that was whipped by two little ghosts, and I felt a little unbearable. At this time, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, was it distress or pity? I don't know, but in short, I felt uncomfortable, and when I heard his screams, my tears flowed.
Just as I was having mercy on him, I saw the door of the underworld open. A dazzling light shot at me, and I blocked it with my hand. I saw the three big words 'Netherworld' flashing above the door frame, oh, this is now to the underworld! I looked at these three big characters curiously.
"Shen Daxian, the king of Hades is invited, please come in with me. "The person who spoke to me didn't look the same as Brother Bullhead, and this person was as burly as Brother Bullhead, but he didn't have a horse's head, and I looked at him and thought it must be the legendary horse face.
"Oh, you say it's the legendary big brother with a horse face, and the little brother is here, please take care of ...... here" "Okay, don't come with me, I won't eat this set of you in the world." "I saw that Ma Mian was a cold-blooded person who did not accept favors. He looked at me impatiently and said, "You are here by the mandate of heaven, we are acting by order, you can just go in with me to see the king of Hades." As he spoke, he took the rivet and led us forward.
The yin wind is blowing, and this yin wind makes me feel a kind of piercing feeling. The three of us crossed the netherworld, turned into a green light, and headed for the underworld. There was a river at my feet, but the water was blood-red, and it creeped me out.
"Big brother, what kind of river is this, why is this river blood-red!" I shivered and looked at the blood-red river and asked tremblingly, "Is this the blood of the living soul?" "Haha, brother, this is your loneliness." This is not the blood of the living soul, but the blood of the livestock killed by you Yangmen!" Hearing the words of the bull-headed brother, I thought to myself that it was all the butcher's fault, but such a beautiful place is so terrible.
"Is this the legendary Lethe River?" I asked, looking at the river beneath my feet, "Do you forget about your previous life by jumping here?" "Don't dream, if you fall into this river, your soul will be gone." I saw the horse face me and said, "You said that the river is still ahead, and that river is called the Nai River, and it is also called the Forgetfulness River." This river is called the Yin and Yang River, and it is also called the Revenge River!" "The Revenge River?" I said to myself, looking at the blood-red and terrible river.
"Let's go, don't ask, Hades is waiting inside. I saw Ma Mian impatiently said: "We are not like you, brother, we have the care of immortals, if his old man starts a temper, we can't afford to be guilty." I groaned and followed them towards the Netherworld.
"Oh, it turns out that the underworld is as prosperous as our yang!" I watched the ghosts in the ghost town wandering around the streets, buying and selling things like people in the human world, which made me full of curiosity about this place. I couldn't help but say, "This can't be the evil ghost illusion here...... "Hmph! Do you think this is the evil ghost ridge on Huangquan Road?" Ma Mian said to me in a cold voice: "This is the land under the jurisdiction of the king of Hades, and the evil ghost will die if he doesn't get here! This is a person whose yin life is not exhausted, if the yin life is exhausted, he will be born in the yang world, as for whether he is cast into a human or an animal, it depends on their creation." "When I heard Ma Mian's words, my heart was filled with fear.
Speaking of which, the houses in the underworld are different from those in the yang, where the houses are all made of blue bricks and blue tiles, and some are still grass houses. I looked at the scene of the ghost town and thought to myself, "Mankind has progressed to the age of electric light, so isn't there progress in the underworld?" Just as I was pondering, I unconsciously came to the Hades Palace.
Speaking of the Hades Palace, it is very gorgeous, although it is not as good as the high-rise buildings of the city in the sun, but it is somewhat similar to the TV shooting base in the ancient city. The blue bricks are delicately painted and well organized. And the two big red pillars in front of the hall make me remember from my heart.
"Wang Chang's ancestor protégé, Shen Lilong has arrived!" A ghost soldier inside the door held a weapon that looked like a hook, and shouted loudly: "Shen Lilong, Yan Jun is invited!" Hearing the call of this ghost soldier, I walked into the palace of the king of Hades with the two of them.
Lord Yama, I've seen it, but I saw that he was still sitting on top of him with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance. And he was still the same, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked at me with a smile like a living god of wealth.
He is at the same level as his mentor Wang Chang Laozu, and in terms of generation, he is also my teacher. According to the netherworld, he is the king of the underworld, and in every way, I have to kowtow to him.
"Xiaosheng Shen Lilong, I have seen Lord Yama. After I finished happily, I knelt in front of Hades and kowtowed to Hades three times. I saw Hades laughing at me, and his appearance made me feel like a kind elder.
