Chapter 372 The Rules of Hades The Order of the Underworld
Shi Cheng called over a waiter. This waiter was somewhat similar to the one in front of the door. They both had one eye.
"Give us a private room, a quiet one."
The waiter agreed and led the two of them up to the third floor.
From the outside, this hook-and-rail shed looks not very high, but I didn’t expect it to have three floors inside.
What’s even weirder is that there are stairs above the third floor!
The strange spatial layout reminded Xu Zhiqiong of the Yin and Yang Division.
The Goulan elegant room in the underworld is different from the one in Daxuan.
Daxuan's private room is surrounded by walls on three sides, and the side facing the stage is open. After all, it is still a box-style stand.
But the quiet elegant room that Shi Cheng wanted was surrounded by walls.
Logically speaking, since there are walls on all sides, the stage cannot be seen, and it becomes a pure single room.
But you can also watch a play in this single room.
Not only can you watch it, but it is also the best viewing angle. The dancer is shuttled between the private rooms. The private room seems to be in the center of the stage. The dancer's dress is floating by, and Xu Zhiqiong can still smell the fragrance of makeup.
When half of the dancer flies overhead, Xu Zhiqiong is always worried that something will fall out of her body.
In fact, Xu Zhiqiong knew that there was no need to worry at all. There was no dancing girl here, and the private room was not on the stage. Xu Zhiqiong, who was good at illusion, knew that what he saw in this room was the scene reflected on the stage.
But this refraction is not only about light and shadow, but also about sound, touch, and even the fragrance of makeup. For the people in the elegant room, these dancers are infinitely close to reality, but for the dancers on the stage, the dancers in the elegant room can also be reflected.
They didn't know anything about it.
The technical content of a hook fence is so high, Xu Zhiqiong is constantly refreshing his understanding of the underworld.
Shi Cheng asked the waiter to bring some Yang food, and the waiter served a few side dishes and a pot of wine.
The so-called yang food refers to the food that people in the underworld can eat. Shi Cheng poured Xu Zhiqiong a glass of wine and said: "When you come to the underworld to eat in the future, remember to eat yang food first. If you can eat yin food, it's okay. Some
The food also tastes pretty good. A few days ago, I ate a piece of naohua, guess what it was..."
Xu Zhiqiong didn't want to guess, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Shi, how did you find me?"
Shi Chengdao: "Qian Limu and I are old acquaintances. I heard him say that when I want to find you but can't find you, just go to Goulan."
Xu Zhiqiong said with a straight face: "To be honest, this is my first time coming to this kind of place."
This is the truth, this is his first time in the underworld.
"You were forced to hide here because you had no way out, right?" Shi Cheng drank a glass of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "Brother, you are so brave. You have done such a big thing and you dare to do it alone.
Hades.”
I don't want to come to the underworld alone, but Bai Yueshan forces me to come alone.
Recalling Bai Yueshan's complicated emotions at that time, Xu Zhiqiong could see some clues. He probably didn't want to implicate other people. The degree of danger of this matter was already within his expectation.
"Brother Shi, how did you know that I came to the Yin Division?"
"Nie Gui'an came to me and said that you have carried two inches of karma and must be sentenced to ten thousand prison reincarnations. I guessed that this is from Liang Daguan's family. Brother, you are such a ruthless person. Even the emperor can die because of you.
On hand."
Shi Cheng is a smart man, and there is no need to make unnecessary excuses and cover-ups. Xu Zhiqiong asked directly: "No matter who he is, it is always right for me to bring a prisoner, right? It is always right to exchange crime in exchange for merit, right?"
Why does the underworld do this to me?"
Shi Cheng said with a smile: "There is a saying in the world that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. You really tied the emperor to the Ministry of Punishment, but you asked the Ministry of Punishment if you dare to take him away? You asked the Minister of Punishment whether he has to take you into custody and sentence you to death, or not?
Do you have to kill everyone in your family?"
"But this is Yinsi!"
Shi Cheng looked at Xu Zhiqiong and asked, "Is there any difference?"
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a long time.
In his impression, the underworld is like an executive agency with a secretive organization, strict discipline, and a machine-like rigidity and standardization.
As long as he sends the criminal here, he will definitely get the punishment he deserves.
Now it seems that this is obviously a misunderstanding, and the operation of the underworld is not as rigid as Xu Zhiqiong imagined.
The Yin Division is not a machine, it is also an organization composed of people. Their members are all practitioners of the underworld. Among these practitioners of the underworld, there are also various problems in the earth.
They also have an instinctive fear of the emperor.
So now the question comes, why do they fear the emperor in the underworld?
"Brother Shi, Liang Daguan's family shouldn't be able to control the underworld. What are you afraid of him for?"
Shi Cheng waved his hand and said: "Brother, I'm not afraid of him. If this bird fell into my hands, he would have been soaked in the oil pan twice.
But I'm not afraid. Some people are afraid. Do you know why Bi Baishi wants to kill you?"
"Bi Baishi, is he the one who looks white and wears white clothes?"
Shi Cheng was stunned: "Don't you recognize Bi Baishi?"
"I don't recognize it!"
"You don't know why he's so white?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought about it and said: "If you look white, you should be born with it. If you wear white clothes, it is a hobby."
Shi Cheng almost spit out his wine: "That's not nature or a hobby! It's caused by cultivation. Brother Ma, we usually don't talk about things in our Taoist sect to outsiders, but you really encountered something this time, and
For the sake of friendship, let me tell you a few words,
The Xuanwu Underworld Dao is similar to your Judgment and Judge Path. They are all Taoist sects with official positions attached to their cultivation. If you enter the Xuanwu Underworld Dao, you have to work as an official in the underworld and cannot return to the Yang world at will.
The ninth-level cultivators of the underworld are called jailers. You won't see them usually. They all work in various prisons. Some are janitors, some sweep the floors, and some prepare torture instruments.
In short, they do all the hard work and dirty work. If the guilty prisoners escape, they still have to be punished. The life of the ninth grade is very difficult.
Their technique is called drawing the ground as a prison. Drawing a circle can trap people. You have seen this before, and Ambassador Bi Bai has also used it before.
After surviving the ninth level and reaching the eighth level, it is called palm punishment. This is very common. Nie Gui'an used to do palm punishment, Zhang Yanhai still does palm punishment now. Those squatting at the door to grab business are all palm punishment. Stay behind the side hall, waiting to be used.
Those who punish are also punished by hand.
The torturer is the person in charge of punishment, eviscerating bones, cutting out flesh, peeling skin, and cramping muscles. You must be familiar with this set of skills. You must also be familiar with the oil pan, cannon, bracket, and hook. These instruments of torture must also be familiar.
The technique of the eighth-grade Palm Punishment is called Ten Thousand Punishments, which is to move the execution place directly in front of you. You have seen this technique before. Bi Bai moved the Hell of Fire into the corridor. If I hadn't taken action, you definitely wouldn't have been able to escape.
"
No wonder the scope of the sea of fire in the corridor shrank. It turned out that Shi Cheng came to help Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong raised his glass and thanked him repeatedly.
Shi Cheng drank the wine and continued: "Upward from the palm punishment, there is the seventh-level prison. You are familiar with this. It is my previous job, the one who wrote the voucher.
Brother, you are now Suo Zhonglang, with a sixth-level cultivation level. You are also a ruthless person in the mortal world, but in the underworld, you cannot show off. From the moment you encounter the seventh-level prison, you have to be more careful.
The prison technique is called annihilation, which can make a person disappear into ashes. The technique is not too fast, but if you hit it, it will be over. This life is over, and there will be no next life! Brother, let me advise you, don’t do anything with the seventh grade in the underworld.
When I reach the sixth level, my current level of cultivation is called Du Guan. Above the sixth level, I am the fifth level soul seducer, also called the impermanent envoy. At this level of cultivation, there are two paths, one is called black impermanence and the other is white impermanence.
,
The Bi Bai envoy you met is named Bi Wusheng. He chose the fifth grade of Bai Wuchang. Bai Wuchang's technique is called Ice Jue. He can freeze you with just one look at you.
After practicing Bai Wuchang, your beard and hair will turn white, and you can only wear white clothes."
It turns out that what I met today was Bai Wuchang.
"What about the next level for the seducer?"
"Further up is the Lord of the Palace. I don't know what techniques he has."
While talking, there was a commotion on the stage, the dancer shrank and remained motionless, and the guests stood in several rows, waiting for interrogation.
The scene on the stage could be clearly seen in the private room. Bi Bai led people to search the hook bar.
Xu Zhiqiong's expression was solemn. Even with Shi Cheng's help, he would not be able to defeat this seducer in the underworld.
Moreover, Shi Cheng may not be willing to take action openly.
Shi Cheng was still calm: "Brother, don't panic, the shopkeeper of Goulan and I have a very close relationship. Bi Wusheng should not be able to find it here."
"Why can't I find it? Just search every room one by one."
Shi Cheng shook his head and said: "Brother, you still know too little about the underworld. As long as the door of the elegant room is closed and pushed open, it will become another elegant room."
Xu Zhiqiong hissed.
Onmyoji seems to have similar characteristics.
The two sat in silence in the elegant room for a long time. Bi Bai searched for Xu Zhiqiong but did not find him, so he took them away.
Shi Cheng let out a long breath and said, "Brother, don't worry, Wang'an Gate is closed, and you can't get out even if you want to."
Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "What is Wang'anmen?"
Shi Cheng smiled and said: "Wang'an Gate is the gate you walked through when entering Fengdu City. Fengdu City has eighteen gates, and behind each gate is a Yin Division. When you enter Fengdu City in Wang'an Jingli, you will come to our Yin Division. If
After entering Fengdu City from another place, there is another Yinsi.
Wanganmen is closed, and the road to the underworld is also blocked. You can't go anywhere. Wanganmen cannot be closed for too long. With Bi Bai's power, it can be closed for at most one day. When Wanganmen is opened, use your
The judge can leave Fengdu City by his own means."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Shi, just now you said that Bi Bai was afraid of Liang Daguan's family. Why should he be afraid of an emperor in the earthly world?"
Shi Cheng took a sip of wine and said, "Because Ambassador Bi Bai worked for Liang Daguan's family and did important things. I don't know what they were, but this matter cannot be seen in the light."
"Bi Bai is working for Liang Daguan's family?" Xu Zhiqiong was stunned, "Don't practitioners of the underworld not be able to leave the underworld easily?"
"The seducer is a special case," Shi Cheng said after taking a sip of wine. "He can't seduce the soul unless he leaves the underworld."
Seductive?
What is this function?
Regardless of what seduction is, Xu Zhiqiong wanted to understand one thing.
Among the charges written by Bai Yueshan, this ambassador Bi Bai was involved!
He colluded with Emperor Zhaoxing and committed evil together, and Bai Yueshan saw the crime on the evil mirror stage!
This is why Bai Yueshan asked Xu Zhiqiong to hand over the charges to Yan Jun.
"Doctor Bai probably wants to inform Lord Yan of the matter and punish this scum of the underworld."
Shi Cheng nodded.
Xu Zhiqiong asked again: "But why didn't Doctor Bai personally deliver the crime and charges?"
Shi Chengdao: "As Doctor Bai, if he goes to the underworld in person, Ambassador Bi Bai will definitely know in advance. At that time, he will spare no effort to fight against Doctor Bai. Regardless of Doctor Shanshan's fourth-level cultivation, he may not be able to reach the underworld if he really arrives.
He is the opponent of a fifth-grade soul seducer."
Bi Baiji dares to attack the good doctor?
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "Yam Luo Palace allows Bi Bai to do whatever he wants? Does Yama Lord not care?"
"To be honest, I haven't seen Mr. Dian in some years," Shi Cheng sighed, "I don't even know if Mr. Dian is still alive."
Xu Zhiqiong took a breath!
No wonder Bai Yueshan didn't let other judges follow.
Once you come, you basically never come back!
Yan Jun is probably gone!
What is the condition of this underworld?
Music sounded on the stage, and the dancer continued to dance.
Xu Zhiqiong sat silently in the elegant room, feeling anxious in his heart.
In the human world, even though his cultivation level was not high and he had many helpers and friends, Xu Zhiqiong did not feel afraid.
Now in the underworld, Xu Zhiqiong has almost no one to rely on except Shi Cheng in front of him, and Shi Cheng is only a sixth-rank military official.
From the moment he was admitted to the imperial examination, Xu Zhiqiong has never been as eager for promotion as he is now.
Suddenly I heard knocking sounds outside the door, five long and three short.
Shi Cheng was stunned: "No, Ambassador Bi Bai is back again!"
Bi Wusheng will not let Xu Zhiqiong go, and Liang Daguan's soul cannot be seen by others, otherwise his life will be at risk.
Shi Cheng whispered: "Brother, I will try my best to hold him back. I can hold him off for a while. Whether I can get away or not depends on your luck."
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!
Three long and three short, another burst of knocks!
Shi Cheng sweatdropped: "Envoy Bi Bai has found this elegant room!"
Shi Cheng shook his head and said, "Don't even think about fighting Bi Bai to your death. This is the underworld and you have no chance of winning."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Shi Cheng and said, "You should leave quickly, this matter shouldn't affect you!"
"Don't say that! This is not just for you! I have my own plans!" Shi Cheng wiped the sweat on his face and said, "You can run away in a while, leave me alone, keep holding on to the Zhonglang Seal, and wait for Kaicheng
Door, wait until tomorrow at most, as long as Zhonglang Yin is sensitive, you can escape!"
Xu Zhiqiong subconsciously grasped the Zhonglang Seal, and suddenly found that the Zhonglang Seal was sensitive.
The city gate is open!
Opened so soon?
In front of the gate of Fengdu City, a spy shouted: "What's stuck in the crack of this door?"
Xie Zhigong, the city gate guard, shouted: "I didn't pay attention when I closed the door, and my clothes got caught in it!"
