Chapter 524: A business trip to the Netherworld
When the black and white impermanence envoys came again, Zhao Sidong did not pull them again, but gave a refreshing reply to 'Heavenly Court'. (For the latest chapter reading, please visit)
As the envoy of the 'Plenipotentiary Heavenly Court', Zhao Sidong happily went on a business trip to the Netherworld with the Black and White Impermanence Envoy.
The Netherworld is not as dark as people imagine, in fact, there is not much difference between this place and the earth, there are heaven and earth, there are mountains and rivers, and there are birds and beasts in the same way......
If you have to say what the difference is, one is that the aura of the netherworld is much richer than that of the earth, but the aura here is expressed in the form of yin qi, and the other is that the creatures of the netherworld are all spirits, all kinds of spirits, and none of them have a flesh-body.
So when Zhao Sidong stepped into the Netherworld, he asked a little blankly: "How far is it to reach your Netherworld?"
Black and white impermanence made Wen Yan couldn't help but laugh proudly, and Bai Impermanence Xie Bi'an replied with a smile: "This is already the realm of the Netherworld! Zhao Angel may not know that the word "Netherworld" in our Netherworld refers to the spiritual level of "Netherworld" and "Netherworld", but in the entire world, it is no different from other big worlds. ”
The 'angel' in his mouth naturally does not refer to the kind of bird-man that the Western countries on earth believe in, but refers to the meaning of 'messenger of heaven'.
Previously, when they contacted Zhao Sidong, they only called them 'messengers', but now Zhao Sidong has completed the corresponding procedures with them on behalf of Heavenly Court, so they will be called 'angels'.
Zhao Sidong turned his head and looked around in surprise, his powerful divine sense had already verified that Bai Wuchang's words were indeed true.
This world, which has always been dark in stories and legends, gave him an extremely novel experience, even after becoming an immortal in the immortal world in his previous life, he had never been here, because compared to the immortal world, the level of the netherworld was too low.
After following the black and white impermanence for a while, he suddenly saw a city shrouded in fog in front of him, Zhao Sidong couldn't help asking: "What is the place in front of you, how is it surrounded by fog?"
Bai Wuchang turned his head and smiled slightly, "There, Zhao Angel may have heard its name...... It's the hell out there!"
Hell Gate......
Zhao Sidong nodded suddenly, "It turned out to be here, but is this one in front of it a ghost gate that is common to the entire Netherworld, or is it a ghost gate pass specially assigned to us?"
Bai Wuchang smiled, turned his head and gave him a thumbs up, "Zhao Angel is amazing! This is the Ghost Gate Pass that is specially matched with the branch dungeon, in terms of appearance, it is exactly the same as the other ghost gates in the entire Netherworld, except that the branch dungeon it leads to is different." So you can actually see it as a real projection of the ghost gate in this area. ”
"......I see," Zhao Sidong bowed his head lightly, and said with admiration: "I didn't expect that there is such a magical place in the netherworld, it really opened my eyes!"
It was undoubtedly a pleasant thing to be complimented on one's own world, so a smile suddenly appeared on the face of the black and white impermanence.
The group soon entered the ghost gate.
Although it is named after 'Guan', in fact, Ghost Gate Pass is an out-and-out city, a city that covers an extremely wide area.
Think about it, this ghost gate pass is the main passage from the yang world to the netherworld, and every day countless souls will flock to the underworld from here to be judged, and after those ghosts come to the ghost gate, the first thing they do is to check their identity and receive the identity card of the netherworld.
If the area of the Ghost Gate Pass is too small, I am afraid that it will be crowded by the massive number of revenants long ago!
In addition to the new Dead, there are also quite a few official residents of the Netherworld who live here, serving the newcomers - all of which come for a fee, of course.
After a few laps in the Ghost Gate, Zhao Sidong gradually lost his initial novelty and began to inspect everywhere as a collaborator.
This is also one of the responsibilities of his identity as a 'Heavenly Court Messenger', to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the branch of the Heavenly Court, otherwise once something happens, it will be difficult for the Heavenly Court to take itself out.
After following the black and white impermanence envoy and turning around the huge ghost gate, the group left the ghost gate again and continued to move forward.
After passing the Ghost Gate, after walking for a while, you will come across a very wide river, and a stone bridge is erected on the river to connect the two banks of the river.
After Bai Wuchang's introduction, Zhao Sidong knew that the big river was the Netherworld Yellow Spring, also known as the Lechuan River, and the stone bridge on the river was the Nai He Bridge, and it was also the place where the souls of the dead went to the underworld to be tried.
Zhao Sidong stood on the road and looked forward, only to see that the wide road was full of dead souls walking with their heads bowed, some of them were new souls who had just come from the yang world, and some were old souls who had already settled in the netherworld.
However, the bridge is about a few zhang wide, flying on both sides of the dark yellow spring, and the souls of the dead come and go on the bridge deck, no one speaks, and it seems that they don't care much about each other.
"Who is that person?" Zhao Sidong suddenly saw that on the other side of the Naihe Bridge, there was a large black table with a black cauldron on the table and a large black bowl next to it.
An old woman with silver-haired goosebumps sat silently behind the table, carrying a large soup spoon in her hand, scooping out a large spoonful of something from the cauldron and pouring it into the bowl, and then quietly waiting for the passing souls to drink it, and then spooning the soup from the pot, and so on, without the slightest delay.
Every soul who passed by the bridge and came to the other side of the river would pass in front of the table, bow to the old woman, and then take up the bowl and drink the contents in one go.
Bai Wuchang looked in the direction of Zhao Sidong's finger, and then laughed: "Oh, you said she? She is Meng Po, the messenger of forgetting worries in the branch of the prefecture, have you seen that cauldron, it contains Meng Po soup that can erase the memories of people's previous lives, and those new souls only need a bowl of Meng Po soup, and they will forget the memories of their previous lives in a moment or three." ”
Zhao Sidong asked a little puzzled: "Then some people can be reincarnated with the memories of previous lives or even previous lives, but why is this?"
Bai Wuchang glanced at him thoughtfully, "There are two possibilities for this situation, the first is that this person was so strong in his life that his soul was condensed, and a bowl of Meng Po soup could not completely erase his memory; ”
"I see, that's ......" Zhao Sidong smiled slightly, in his previous life, he finally gave up his Dharma body and reincarnated as a soul, because he took the regular way of reincarnation, so after drinking Meng Po soup, he faintly received some influences, otherwise, he should have awakened the memory of his previous life immediately after he was born in this life, so that he would not delay until he was eighteen years old, and only awaken his memory because of major stimulation of the brain.
Because he came here as an envoy of the heavenly court this time, and was accompanied by a black and white impermanence envoy, after passing through the Nai He Bridge, Meng Po ignored him at all and ignored him directly.
......
Starting from the Ghost Gate, crossing the Netherworld Yellow Spring, crossing the Nai He Bridge, and drinking Meng Po soup are the few things that a new soul must experience.
After drinking Meng Po soup, the memory of the past life will be erased, and the netherworld identity card handled in the ghost gate can be free to move in the netherworld.
After crossing the Naihe Bridge, continue to walk for about ten miles, and it is the location of the branch prefecture.
As mentioned earlier, the underworld is divided into ten halls, and the same is true of the branch underworld.
After the new deceased soul drinks Meng Po soup, the memories of his previous life will gradually dissipate, but the sinful karma on his body will not disappear directly, and at this time, it will be up to the Ten Palaces Yan Jun to judge and deal with it.
If they are guilty, the punishment will be determined according to the severity of their crimes.
For those who are innocent, they are given preferential treatment according to the level of merit they have received during their lifetime.
The so-called preferential treatment refers to the preferential selection of good reincarnation objects when you are reincarnated, the rich or powerful, in short, the kind that allows you to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime after you are reincarnated.
Upon learning of the arrival of the Heavenly Court envoy, the Ten Hall Yan Monarchs put down their affairs one after another and greeted Zhao Sidong.
Although Zhao Sidong's identity as an 'angel' may not be at a high level, at the very least, he came from the opinion of Heavenly Court, and to a certain extent, he is equivalent to the spokesperson of the Lord of Heavenly Court - the people of Netherworld do not know that this 'angel' in their eyes is actually the Lord of Heavenly Court himself!
After all, the Ten Palaces Yan Jun each had a lot of things to deal with, so after chatting with Zhao Sidong for a while, they all said goodbye.
Next, what Zhao Sidong had to do was to inspect the places prepared for the personnel stationed in the Heavenly Court in advance, including the place to handle official business and the place to rest in residence.
said that it was to be inspected, but with the rich experience of the underworld in this area, it was naturally not possible to make any mistakes, and Zhao Sidong himself did not understand the affairs of the underworld, so after he went, it was just a matter of looking at the flowers - if he really dared to do something here, he would definitely have the ability to smash this branch of the underworld at that time!
After his cultivation is restored, it is not difficult to directly smash the Netherworld, because if the most powerful Heavenless Netherworld Venerable in the Netherworld goes to the Immortal Realm, he will be a top-level Immortal Emperor's cultivation if he dies, and it will not be enough for him to fight!
After finding out the situation of the branch underworld, Zhao Sidong sent a message to the heavenly court, asking his group of civil ministers and generals to start selecting the staff to be stationed in the underworld.
