Chapter 411: Yama Hall
The front hall of the temple enshrines the God of Wealth, and the incense is rich. The incense is lined up to throw incense money into the merit box. The incense is the main hall of the City God. There are also many people who buy incense money, but the incense money is less and the incense money is more sincere.
Chen Luo and Lu He passed through the nave straight through. As soon as they arrived at the backyard, they immediately found that there were fewer people.
Chen Luo looked up and saw the hall standing behind him. There was a plaque hanging on the lintel with the three big words "Yan Luo Hall" written on it on the black background and gold painted on it.
In the square in front of the hall, there were two men and one woman, and three figures in total.
Although the three of them were in front of the hall, they were separated by some distance from each other and seemed to be unfamiliar with each other.
Among them, a young man with a thin figure and pale face, but quite handsome face, had a slender long blue sword behind his waist. He was standing under an ancient locust tree in front of the main hall, looking up at the lush locust leaves on it.
Not far away from him, a middle-aged man wearing crescent armor on his head and covering his left cheek was standing at the railing in front of the hall. He was wearing half a set of armor, only protecting the location near his heart, and a long golden knife hung around his waist.
Four or five steps away from him, he leaned against a plump woman in a red gauze skirt with her face on the railing. Her appearance was not too beautiful, and she had a heavy makeup on her face, but her breasts were too full, and she was still very striking under her clothes.
Seeing Chen Luo and the others coming, the young man just glanced at him and withdrew his gaze, while the man in armor and the woman in red walked towards him.
"Oh, the new guy is here..."
The woman in red swayed, and her breasts trembled three times with each step.
"I have seen fellow Taoists." Chen Luo took the initiative to clasp his fists and greeted him.
"One has a cold face, the other covers half of her face, and the other has no way to look at the other. Finally, a handsome guy comes. If you take a few more glances, this mission will be no loss." The woman in red owed her body, stared at Chen Luo without any scruples, and covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Lu He, who is this?" the man in armor asked, holding his fists and bowing back.
"The new recruit from the Chamber of Commerce, this time we acted with us, is called Chen Luo. Fellow Chen, under the locust tree over there..." Lu He began to introduce Chen Luo and the others.
The young man under the locust tree was named Lin Qing, who was the first among them to follow the Chamber of Commerce to perform tasks. However, it was not too early and has only performed six times so far.
The man in armor was named Jindun, while the woman in red was named Yun Niang. Both of them came later than Lin Qing, but a little earlier than Lu He, and had performed four missions.
During these tasks, they had intersected each other, so they were naturally familiar with each other, but they were not familiar with each other, so Lu He's introduction to each person seemed simple and straightforward.
While the few were talking, an old man with a hunchbacked brown robe like an old ape came over from an arch in the side yard, carrying a dark red wine gourd in his hand, and his steps were floating towards the few.
When Shen Luo looked around, he saw that the front part of his head was bald, from the ears to the back of his head, the remaining hair was pitifully small, and he was draped in a messy back behind his neck.
The old man's cheeks were quite round, his long eyebrows were hanging down to his ears, his nose was shiny red, his beard was long under his jaw to his chest, and there was water on it, as if there was still undry wine. He looked a little kind and a little sloppy.
Unlike Chen Luo's reaction, when the other four people saw the old man, they immediately greeted him, clasped their fists respectfully and said:
"Old Hu..."
"What old man? How many times have you said it? Either call me Brother Hu or call me Brother Hu, don't call me Old Man Hu." The old man raised the wine gourd in his hand and complained.
"Senior Hu."
Chen Luo knew that he was exactly what Lu He said about Senior Hu Yong, so he immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Oh? You are the new one that Xiuxiu girl said, "What are you calling me?" Hu Yong thought for a long time, but he still didn't remember what Chen Luo was calling me.
"I'm a young man." Chen Luo replied.
"Chenluo, it's not bad. Just follow me and ensure you go safely and return completely." Hu Yong nodded, said with a little bit of Chenluo with a gourd.
Chen Luo looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a little worried. Can the old man who is like a drunkard in front of him really take them to complete the task? However, looking at the expressions of the four people around him, he seemed to have become accustomed to it.
"Senior, where are we going to perform this mission?" Chen Luo asked.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yong turned around and pointed to the hall behind him, and said, "It's here."
"It's right here?" Chen Luo said in surprise.
The other people also had doubts in their eyes, and they were obviously a little confused.
"Don't worry, we really have to go here where we are going." Hu Yong said with another sip of wine, smear of his mouth.
After drinking, he finally stuffed the gourd mouth and hung it around his waist.
Then, he stroked his beard, straightened his clothes, and took the lead in stroking towards the Hall of Yama.
Seeing this, Chen Luo and the other two hurriedly followed.
Before entering the hall, a cool breeze burst out from the hall. It was clearly the weather in July and August, but it still made Chen Luo feel cold all over his body, which made him feel a little stern.
After sinking and walking past the threshold and entering the Hall of Yama, I saw a tall statue of the god with a fair face and a crown on his head, sitting in front of the altar behind him. Naturally, it is the common saying of Yama King.
The head crown is hung with incense bags on both sides of the ear protection, wearing a wide-sleeved robe with a lotus leaf crest, and holding a tablet on his chest with both hands. Although it is a clay statue, it also has a bit of majestic atmosphere.
On both sides of the statue of King Yama, there is a statue of a judge wearing a blue and black official uniform. One has a yellow and white face that is no different from an ordinary person, and the other has a dark face that looks like an evil spirit. They are all holding documentary judgments, and they should be the widely circulated judges in the world, rewarding good and punishing evil.
Under the judge, two thin statues wearing tall crowns stood on the left, one black and one white, which was the impermanence of black and white, while the other side stood side by side with cow heads and horse faces.
The sunken eyes stayed on the horse face for a little longer. I felt that the clay horse face in front of me was still a little different from what I saw in reality, and I grinned and looked a little vicious.
On the surrounding walls, there are also colorful and lifelike murals. The contents on them are all scenes in the purgatory of the 18th floor of the underworld. They all come to your eyes with tragic scenes such as cutting the heart and digging the liver, tearing and fire, and cooking and frying in the oil pan.
After a few glances, Chen Luo felt a little uncomfortable and immediately withdrew his gaze.
At this time, Hu Yong turned his palm and three dark red fragrances appeared in his palm out of thin air. He rubbed his fingertips and gently twisted the three incense heads, and the incense head lit up a red light.
Then he saw him pinch a strange magic trick with both hands, holding the incense and worshiping the statues of the gods such as King Yama, and then inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner.
