Chapter 18 The Palace of Hades
In the Hell Road, the first hall under the rule of King Guang of Qin, the palace is majestic, a hundred feet high, and is gloomy and deep.
Two giant ghosts stood outside the hall, holding iron chains and steel forks, which were hideous and terrifying.
There is a "Miracle Mirror Platform" in front of the hall. The platform is one meter high and the mirror is ten square meters wide. It is hung to the east, and there is a plaque on it: "Preface is born from the heart."
All the dead souls are taken to the evil mirror platform to take a look. The evil mirror is also called the "karma mirror", which can reflect a person's lifelong sins.
If good is greater than evil, light will be emitted in the mirror; if evil is greater than good, there will be a lot of black fog in the mirror; if good and evil are contrary to each other, there will be no shadow, no light or fog.
People in the world have few good people and many evil people. Even those who are good people can truly be without mistakes in their lives, so they said: "There is no good person in front of the mirror of evil."
The first hall is dedicated to rewarding good and punishing evil. According to the size of good and evil, it is either reincarnated as a human or demoted to a beast, and it is not the same. Among them, the people with great and evil sins will be sent to the Abyssin Hell and punished.
However, there are so many souls in the dead. Qin Guang, the real immortal, will not be entangled in such trivial matters. Unless someone is approaching the deadline for immortals and demons, they will make arrangements in advance and personally enter the hall.
Therefore, the main hall is not open all year round, and four judges are set up to control the four side halls around it, namely: Mingjingsi, Yinlushi, Reward and Reward and Punishment.
With a "bang", a figure fell heavily into the "Mingjingsi", covered in dust and was extremely embarrassed. Before he could get up, a group of ferocious ghosts rushed forward. Some twisted their arms, some pulled their heads, and dragged him to the hall, in front of the plaque with "Mingjingsi hanging high".
A white-faced judge wearing a purple robe and a black gauze hat sat behind Gao Gao's case. Seeing this, he frowned and was about to scold him.
Niu Tou and Mama Maiden walked into the hall together with Meng Po. The ghost officer in the hall was immediately silent. The white-faced judge hurriedly walked down from the case: "Three fellow Taoists are here, I wonder what advice do you have?"
Meng Po said sharply: "This thief boy ruined my good soup!"
Ma Ming sneered: "He probably doesn't know where this is yet."
Niu Tou Abang said in a deep voice: "This person is going to be sentenced to a heavy sentence!"
Judge Lu was also surprised. What was this kid's origin? He actually caused three ghost immortals to sue, and these three were almost the most outstanding figures in the Hell path, and their status was even higher than him.
Especially the NiuTou Abang. His strength is unfathomable and his life span is extremely long. Except for the Ten Palaces of Hell, don’t call him “Brother Niu” whenever he sees him.
He thought about it and coughed twice: "I always have to go to the evil mirror to take a look. I will try again."
These three people have to give face, but they always have to plunder them before this. How could he be sent to the ghost immortal at will? If there is no oil or water, what would you do in this Mingjingsi?
Niu Tou Abang's face darkened and he thought to himself: "I had known this surname of Lu, but I didn't expect that he would be so greedy. These judges are really worse than those of them!" When the Hell Dao was just established in the past, the judges were still fair and strict. Later, they all went to the Pure Land to practice. Who would be willing to try the case in this gloomy and terrifying underworld?
Judge Lu shouted injustice: "Brother Niu. You are an old man from the underworld. These are all rules and rules. What can I do? After I finish the case, I must explain it to you by three."
The old man who came with Li Qingshan looked outside the hall. Li Qingshan overturned the pot of thick soup, and he pretended to be a poor man. He had taken the horse face and did not expose him. Meng Po was eager to take revenge and had no time to argue with him. He got a bowl of clear soup for nothing, but he saved a lot of "merit" and was much more valuable than that spiritual jade.
But he was not a good person when he was born, and was notoriously narrow-minded. Seeing this, he just sneered: "Silly boy, you can't think of passing this third level!"
There are three pipe cards in the Hell Road that need to be handled: one is the Ten-Planet Yinshou or the Soul-Selection Envoy who came to get people. If this is not handled, you will be robbed on the road to Huangquan.
The second is the bowl of Mengpo soup, and I don’t buy a bowl of clear soup to drink. Everything will be done, I will forget all the past, and I can’t even endure the torture of hell.
The third tube card is the four judges, and the most important tube card. Rewarding good or punishing evil is all in one thought. If you want to redeem your sins and escape punishment, you have to spend a lot of money.
At this moment, a ghost guarding the palace shouted, "That old man, what are you looking at!" He walked over with a water and fire stick.
If it were on weekdays, the old man would not take such a little devil seriously and kill him with one move. Now he could only humble his anger and stuff another spiritual jade.
The ghost messenger's expression changed slightly, as if he was laughing, but he was as ferocious as before. He touched his head: "You are a tactful person. When you come here, you have to keep me on the dragon and even on the tiger. No matter how Yang and Yin God is, you are useless. I see you are so filial, come in and see!"
The old man smiled dryly and followed him to the hall. In addition to the three pipes, all the ghosts had to deal with them. Otherwise, "the little ghost is difficult to deal with" and can also bring you trouble. But he hated Li Qingshan more and more: "Why do I have to be humble, but you can be so arrogant, I just see how you die!"
After Judge Lu arrived at the case again, several ghost messengers with claws were about to drag Li Qingshan to the evil mirror platform. Meng Po mocked: "If you are surnamed Lu, don't waste your time. This kid is a poor man!"
"Poor ghost!" Judge Lu was still a little unwilling to give in and asked, "Who is in the hall? Can you be filial?"
Li Qingshan raised his head and smiled, "Good son, are you filial to me?"
The hall was silent, and both the giant ghosts in front of the hall and the ghost servants in the hall were stunned. I had never seen such a arrogant person in the Hall of Yama.
Judge Lu was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect anyone to dare to speak to him like this, and said angrily: "What did you say, do you say it again?"
"Good grandson, are you filial to grandpa?" He was surrendered to him for another generation.
"Bang!" Judge Lu slapped the table and was furious: "Immediately, throw him into the third, fifth, no, ninth level of hell?!"
The ferocious ghost messengers rushed up again, some twisted their arms, some pulled their heads, and dragged him out of the hall.
Li Qingshan did not struggle, nor did he curse and scold. He only looked at Judge Lu deeply, glanced at the four words "The mirror was hanging high", and couldn't help but smile, turning into a big laugh. Until he was dragged out of the hall, the vast laughter was still ringing in the hall.
Judge Lu felt palpitations for no reason: "I really have no laws and do not be a son of man! Three fellow Taoists are satisfied with this result."
Meng Po was uncomfortable all over and did not have the pleasure of victory. He said hatefully: "He should be sent to the eighteenth level of hell, so that he will never be reborn!"
Niu Tou Abang thought to himself: "I would have done this."
But things cannot be that simple. Except for the tenth hall "Wheel-Turning Hall", the other nine halls are responsible for two levels of hell. Even if they are thrown into the ninth floor, they have to survive layer by layer. Moreover, each large hell has many small hells, and countless painful tortures are: going up to the knife mountain and down to the oil pan, iron tree and bronze axe, bees sting and snake biting, pus and blood and ash river, pus and blood
Therefore, it is called the Hell of Avici!
"Boy, I hope you can withstand it!" (To be continued.)
