As Yama, the southeastern palace of the underworld, Xu Zhengyang is the only underworld institution that he has never come into contact with, and that is the hell hidden under the Samsara Pond.
According to the legend, there are eighteen levels of hell, with different levels of torture, each level is more cruel and harsh than the previous one, such as frying, roasting, cutting ears, digging out heart, lungs, cutting tongue, cutting off limbs... It is chilling to listen to it. However, Xu Zhengyang has never thought that
These legendary punishments and the punishments in hell are all facts.
The reason is very simple, they are all legends and cannot be taken as true.
The legend of the Ten Halls of Yama has been clearly proven here to be false, so it is uncertain whether there are eighteen levels of hell.
On the vast "prairie" of Samsara Pond, there are countless jade-like deep ponds dotted here and there, connected and intertwined by passages. Standing high in the sky and looking down, one can't help but think of the patterns of constellations in books in the human world.
.
When I come here this time, I always have to go through this hell.
With a movement of his consciousness, Southeast Yama Xu Zhengyang disappeared from mid-air in an instant. The next moment, he had reached the center of a samsara pool, stepping on the tumbling blood-yellow vortex, watching the ghosts being absorbed in fear.
, or scream or roar or be silent...
Xu Zhengyang's body slowly descended and sank into the Samsara Pond from the center of the vortex.
In a blood-yellow dark light, the originally seemingly viscous liquid disappeared, leaving a chaotic void all around.
Depressing, dull, dark, and chilly.
Looking from a distance, the stone steps are spiraling down, and I don't know when I stepped on the stone steps. Every time I take a step down, I will feel a sinking feeling, rather than the solid feeling of stepping on the ground.
Where did those ghosts go?
Xu Zhengyang frowned and stepped down, feeling the weird feeling with every step he took, while looking around at this eerie place.
Just when the question arose in my mind, the huge plaque in the Yama Palace appeared in my mind. The light flashed on it, clearly showing the lines of writing. When ghosts come here, they will be summoned by hell to use it in the Ming Dynasty.
After being tested on the stage, the so-called evil deeds in the previous life are judged and their severity is determined. They are transferred to different prisons and punishment places. After accepting the punishment, they will directly embark on the path of reincarnation.
After reading this passage, I felt that the chaotic and depressing feeling around me suddenly disappeared, as if the still dark and cold light around me was much brighter. To be precise, it should be the kind of chaotic and sticky space that became
It is much clearer and thinner. Everything is neat and tidy all around.
There are dark stone houses lined up in a row, and between the stone houses is a road paved with flat black boulders. However, in this deep black, there is a faint black and red color after the blood has dried, and there is a smell of blood in this place.
It was floating quietly in a space with no air circulation at all.
Resisting the feeling of depression and even wanting to vomit in his heart, Xu Zhengyang walked toward the building among the stone houses that was one floor higher than the other stone houses.
Apart from being one storey higher, there is no difference in shape from other stone houses.
All of them are square and angular houses without any decoration at all.
Each room has only one door and no windows.
The numbers above the door are somewhat rigidly marked: 553, 554... 585...
Xu Zhengyang thought to himself, this hell is really big. I wonder how many rooms there are in total?
He randomly picked a room and pushed open the stone door that was sunken half a foot down. When Xu Zhengyang looked inside, he couldn't help but shuddered all over.
Different from the dead black exterior, the interior of the room is actually dazzlingly white. However, the white walls are painted with bloody lines depicting patterns of ferocious ghosts holding various instruments of torture and carrying out punishments. Although the lines are simple and the colors are monotonous, they give people a
An extremely realistic and vivid feeling, as if the evil ghost was carrying out an extremely cruel punishment, and it seemed that the miserable and painful screams of the tortured could be faintly heard...
On the white ground, there are torture instruments, iron chains, sharp knives, iron hooks, awls, bamboo poles, saws... These torture instruments look simple and crude. There is no so-called exquisiteness or at least standard, but it makes people feel uncomfortable.
I feel that the whole thing is crudely made, but it is particularly frightening.
If the god Yama had a belly, a stomach, and food like a human being, Xu Zhengyang would have been vomiting by now.
He felt a little dizzy and sweating in his consciousness.
Xu Zhengyang hurriedly took a step back and stopped taking a closer look. The stone door closed automatically and quietly.
The plaque in my mind once again showed a clear line of font: This is the torture chamber, where the ghosts from hell will execute torture for the many sins committed while living as humans.
"Everyone?" Xu Zhengyang asked.
Because as Yama, his spiritual consciousness scanned the hell and he knew that there were too many torture chambers. How could there be so many evil people in the world? Is it necessary to use so many torture chambers for punishment? Unless every person
Every ghost who comes here must be punished.
"Everyone in the world has sins, and the world is a place of sin..."
Xu Zhengyang was furious: "Fart! People are divided into good and evil, but no one is perfect. Small evils can be offset by good deeds. With such a cruel punishment, doesn't it take into account the good deeds of people while they are still alive? Where is the reward? Mom?
of……"
"Hell is meant to teach people to suffer great suffering before reincarnation, so that they can endure the suffering of the world after reincarnation..."
While the plaque was still being introduced, the Jiuzhou Record suddenly appeared in Xu Zhengyang's hand, and the streamer flashed a reminder: According to the laws of heaven, humans, animals and all kinds of creatures in the world, including gods at all levels, those who do great evil will go to hell and endure torture.
; However, when the heaven was in turmoil, the gods at all levels in the underworld punished the underworld with their evil deeds and gained endless resentment, thereby increasing their divine power and raising evil ghosts to create countless demons, which they used to attack the heaven...
No wonder! Xu Zhengyang shook his head helplessly and walked to the two-story building with some annoyance.
But there was a bloody word on the side in front of the main entrance of the building:
Weeping and crying, pitiful and miserable. Just because of unfaithfulness and unfilial piety, which violates the laws of heaven, the Buddha's mouth and snake's heart fall into this door.
Well, it kind of means a couplet, but it's a pity that there is no second couplet. Damn it, this hell is really different from heaven and earth.
Without the introduction on the plaque, Xu Zhengyang could guess that this should be the official office of this hell.
Xu Zhengyang was so disgusted and depressed that he no longer wanted to walk in this hell, so he stepped into the completely open stone room.
The inside is different from the pure white of the torture chamber, but as black as the outside, with a dark green gloomy light swaying.
There is a rectangular stone table next to it and two stone benches, both in black.
Stepped up the stone staircase in the middle to the second floor.
The second floor is divided into two rooms, one large and one small. There are three stone tables and five stone benches in the outer room. On the table are several blood-red palm-sized square stone slabs, like books, with vermilion knives and pens on the sides; separated by a
In the inner room behind the wall, there is a larger stone table and a black stone chair that looks like a master's chair. There is also a dark stone slab on the table and a vermilion knife and pen.
Xu Zhengyang walked inside and sat on the stone chair, picked up the stone slab and put it down, then picked up the knife and pen and played with it casually.
The huge plaque in the consciousness continued to introduce. This place belongs to the second area of the six areas of hell. Anyone who was unfaithful and unfilial while living in the world, and those who speak the Buddha's tongue but have a heart that is a snake heart, will be punished here.
If Xu Zhengyang doesn't want to go to the other five districts, he can just let Bian Bian introduce them one by one.
After reading everything described on the plaque, Xu Zhengyang waved his hand to call Li Haidong out of Jiuzhou Lu, and said rather calmly: "This is where hell is. If you look at the punishments imposed by hell here, you will understand a lot after thinking about it...
..." After saying that, Xu Zhengyang moved the plaque to the wall here again, and his spiritual consciousness commanded the plaque to slowly tell Li Haidong...
Xu Zhengyang's consciousness moved and he went directly to the most terrifying and cruel District Six.
The skin is peeled off and the bones are exposed. The arms are broken and the tendons are broken. It is difficult to explain the degradation for thousands of years, and the sinking will never turn over.
There are not many stone houses in the Sixth District, and they are hundreds and thousands of times smaller than any of the other five districts. This is the legendary eighteenth level of hell. It is recorded in the human classics that if you enter the eighteenth level of hell, you will never be able to escape.
Transcendence, but it’s not fiction anymore.
It's too cruel. After experiencing the poisonous intrusion and torture of the slow flow of the Santu River, here he has to face the permanent torture of endless torture... Xu Zhengyang can't bear it. But only here can he find that
It is a stone of all evil that is maliciously influenced by the endless resentment that erupted under the most cruel punishment over a long period of time.
A stone house was casually destroyed, but Xu Zhengyang didn't even look at the scene in these stone houses. He really couldn't bear to look at it.
After collecting these broken stones into the Jiuzhou Record, Xu Zhengyang teleported away from this evil place.
Damn it, the evil ghosts, ghost messengers and hell officials who are punished here are not the most evil people.
Xu Zhengyang does not have the mentality of a true supreme god who does not care about any life. He just feels that this is too much. In those days, the gods of the three realms, in order to punish evil and promote good, and gain false fame, created such a cruel and endless hell.
In fact, there are many contradictions between these things and Tian Tiao.
It is not an exaggeration to say that people in the world are guilty and will be punished after death.
But after people die, ghosts are severely punished. They are punished so cruelly before they are reincarnated, saying that they want to warn... But after reincarnation, they will forget everything, and it is the past of several years or even thousands of years in the underworld, hell.
Even the cruel punishment will be forgotten. What’s the point of that?
Isn’t it to intimidate mortals and demonstrate God’s majesty and transcendence?
What was the result?
The gods of the three realms fought and the heaven was destroyed.
If in the vast underworld, the institutions at all levels were simplified, the heavens would directly intervene in the management of the underworld just like it does the human world. There would not be so many underworld institutions and gods, and they would rely on powerful artifacts and a few ghost missions and underworld gods.
Wouldn't management be better?
Everything, under the high-sounding majesty, kindness and justice, is just for personal gain and to exploit more reverence and faith from mortals.
Underworld, hell, these laws are all going to be changed.
Of course, hell must exist, and these cruel punishments must be retained and continued.
However, the uncontrolled and powerful development of the underworld gods will never be allowed to occur again.
