The drums are getting louder, and everything is silent.
Tonight there is no light from the stars and moon, the clouds are thick, and the darkness shrouds the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, making this terrifying prison that the people of the capital have changed their minds after hearing about it, even more eerie and terrifying. In this two-foot-high prison with the top covered with thorns
There are many terrifying legends circulating inside and outside the deep blue brick wall. They all say that when it gets dark, there will be many evil ghosts wandering under the corner. If you get closer, you will often hear ghost cries. They also say that there is a road leading to the entrance of the prison.
The deep corridor is an entrance to the Gate of Hell. Therefore, when it gets dark, except for the Jin Yiwei who must patrol, even the officers and soldiers inside Beizhen Fusi are unwilling to take a step closer to the imperial prison...
Regardless of whether the corridor is the Huangquan Road leading to hell, the interior of the prison is indeed a dark living hell. In the damp and dark cell, there is darkness day and night, with only the wind lanterns embedded at intervals on the stone walls.
A dim yellow light emitted, weakly illuminating the cells surrounded by thick iron fences.
Although it is already March outside, the wind is still blowing coldly in the prison of the imperial edict.
In this environment, many people couldn't bear it and died, and the rest, even if they didn't die, were already clinging to life, no longer human beings nor ghosts... They were completely numb, fear, pain, shame... Those humans and
Their innate senses are all dulled and lost, and even rats gnawing at their rotting limbs will be indifferent.
Li Chun, the former deputy governor of Fusi in Bei Town, was imprisoned here. Wang Xian held a court hearing that day. Although Li Gouer gritted his teeth and took all the responsibilities, Li Chun was guilty of favoritism and falsely accusing good people.
He couldn't run away, so after withdrawing from the court, he was thrown into prison. It has been more than a month now. In this month, Li Chun has been bullied and scolded by the jailers all day long. What's more, what makes him even more painful is
Hunger and despair.
According to regulations, meals are served twice a day in the prison. The first meal at Mao Shi is watery rice porridge and an egg...large black flour steamed buns. The second meal at You Shi is brown rice with more sand than rice, boiled with water.
Cabbage. This kind of food can really starve people to death. In order to reduce consumption, the prisoners can only lie motionless every day. Of course, they have no strength to move...
The jailers did not give him special care because Li Chun was their leader. In the past three days, they seemed to have forgotten him. They either refused to give him breakfast or dinner, and even did not give him a meal today.
Chun was so hungry that his eyesight blurred and he lay motionless on the straw. He even had no strength to breathe.
What's worse than hunger is despair. After the court hearing that day, Li Chun completely lost contact with the outside world. He didn't know what happened. For some reason, after so long, the governor didn't come to rescue him? Could it be the governor?
Have you given up on yourself? Or is it that the Grand Governor himself has encountered some trouble?
Regardless of the possibility, Li Chun knew that as the time he was imprisoned became longer and longer, his hope of being rescued became slimmer. When he thought of sacrificing the lives of his uncle and nephew in order not to implicate Ji Gang, Ji Gang refused to
To save himself, Li Chun was full of resentment. He wished he could tell everything he knew and let Ji Gang go to jail with him. But this was just an imagination. If he dared to confess Ji Gang, dozens of people in his family would be killed.
death ray
Li Chun was completely defeated by hunger and despair. He lay weakly on the straw, letting the skinny rats in the cell jump around on him, but he didn't think about it at all and could not drive them away. He could no longer move. The various hallucinations that kept popping up in his mind made him understand that he was waiting for death, and he didn't know when he would be completely free...
After listening to the second drum in a daze, Li Chun suddenly heard a terrifying ghost cry, and then a gust of cold wind blew into the cell. The wind lanterns were extinguished one after another, and the guards in the cell were gambling, and the prisoners were moaning. The sound was no longer heard in an instant, and even the mouse that was crawling on him just now disappeared.
The whole cell suddenly fell into silence. Li Chun could hear his own breathing clearly. This strange silence made Li Chun extremely scared. He struggled to sit up with all his strength, but he saw a terrifying scene. He saw only two lamps with bright green lights. The lantern of light slowly floated over from the end of the cell passage. There was no one around the lantern, so it floated over alone and hovered at the door of his cell.
Li Chun was so horrified by this scene that the hair on his body stood up, but what was even more terrifying was yet to come. At some point, he saw two more people standing outside the cell door. One was wearing a black robe and a long black hat, and the other was Wearing white robes and long white hats, the two of them were pale-faced, with blood-red eyes and long tongues in their mouths, standing in the air outside the cell, staring at him expressionlessly.
Yes, these two are hanging in the air, a full foot above the ground.
"Black and white are impermanent" Li Chun cried out, his heart was completely cold, my time has really come
"Are you Li Chun?" Black and White Wuchang asked in a ghostly manner at the same time. They didn't see their mouths move, but they made a sound that made teeth chatter.
"Yes..." Li Chun said in confusion.
"Your life is over, come with us to see the King of Hell." Hei Wuchang said in a deep voice, and then Hei Wuchang flicked the mourning stick in his hand, and the locked cell door opened by itself. The mourning stick clicked again, and the fire flashed in the cell. , suddenly a green-faced, fanged, dark evil ghost appeared. He came to Li Chun in two steps, lifted Li Chun's hair, and held him on his shoulders.
Li Chunzao was so frightened that he was urinating and had no strength to resist. When the evil spirit was holding him on his shoulders, he felt that the two-foot-old evil spirit's whole body was extremely cold and its breath was so foul that he was frightened out of his soul. Suddenly, I looked at the place where I was lying just now, and there was actually someone lying there. I looked closely, who was it if it wasn't me? I fainted from fright.
In his daze, he didn't know how many dark places he passed, how many mountains of corpses and seas of blood he saw, and how many wandering ghosts he saw. He finally came to a magnificent palace, where he saw many ghosts with green faces and fangs. The soldier stood at the foot of the steps. At this time, the black and white impermanence had disappeared. Only the ghost soldier who was carrying him threw Li Chun in front of the hall, sang "O" to the ghost soldier who came up, then turned and disappeared.
In a state of confusion, Li Chun was locked with cold iron chains by two ghost soldiers and led him into many palaces. Li Chun had long been out of his mind and could not help but follow the ghost soldiers through the halls. But seeing that the palace was without exception gloomy and gloomy, with only dim green light shining on the ghost soldiers, it was particularly terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that some of those who were tortured by the ghost soldiers were exposed to the boiling water. They were struggling in the oil pan, half of their bodies were only bones, but they were still screaming in agony; some were cut into two pieces by a big saw, and their upper bodies were still crawling in a daze, looking for their lower bodies. There was also the female prisoner who was torn apart by the ghost soldiers. He used iron pliers to pull out his tongue. The tongue that came out was thrown in front of Li Chun's eyes with blood. Even though he had enjoyed torture, he was frightened and fainted again.
By this time, Li Chun was convinced that he had come to the underworld. When he saw the prisoners who were being tortured, he suddenly remembered his crimes in the underworld. If he were to pursue them, it would be difficult to describe. If he were to be sentenced,
Come here, why don't you go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated for eternity?
When Li Chun woke up again, he saw himself kneeling in the lobby. There was a large public case in the hall. There was no high-rise lighting or other objects in the middle. There were only a pair of candlesticks with green candles as big as mung beans, which gave a faint light.
We can vaguely see clearly that behind the public case sits a black-faced and bearded emperor wearing a dragon robe and an imperial crown. He is obviously the Prince of Hell.
On the left side of Yama's head, there is an official wearing a red python robe and a black veil on his head. He is holding a case file in his left hand and a stylus in his right hand. His face is indigo and his eyes are like lightning.
Looking at himself, Li Chunchu felt that his whole heart was being seen through, and all the secrets were visible to the other party.
Obviously, this is the judge
Under the King of Hell and the judge, there were many bull-headed and horse-faced men two feet tall, each holding a ghost-headed sword and a white bone stick, standing majestically in the hall.
Surrounded by this group of huge ghosts and gods, Li Chun felt like a baby. He knelt down on his knees and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic. He knew that the things he was about to do could be hidden from others in the world of heaven, but not from the underworld.
The king of hell has written every single stroke in the book of life and death. He cannot deny it, so he can only confess first and strive for leniency.
At this time, Hei Wuchang came out of nowhere and floated in front of King Yan. He sang: "I was sent by King Yan to bring Li Chun, a native of Yingtian Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, and asked the judge to verify his identity."
"
"The arrest is good, it is this person." The judge nodded and said to the Lord of Hell.
"Well, please step back." When the Lord of Hell opened his mouth, his voice was like a loud bell, making the whole Palace of Hell buzz.
Hei Wuchang saluted again and left. Then he heard the King of Hell ask in a loud voice: "Judge Cui, has this person committed any crime in the world?"
Judge Cui opened the book of life and death in his hand, muttered a few words, raised his head and glanced at Li Chun with disgust, and then reported to the King of Hell: "Your Majesty, this person has done many evil things, and his crimes are really countless, and he will not be afraid of evil.
"
When the King of Hell heard this, he was furious. He slapped the wood of the hall hard, and then heard the thunder rolling outside the palace. He heard the King of Hell shout violently: "In this case, send him to the eighteenth level of hell, where he will be burned with steamers, cannons, knives, and oil pans."
The punishment of knife and saw will never lead to reincarnation."
"Here" the King of Hell gave the order, and the bull-headed horse-faced man brandished his sword and spear and stabbed Li Chun. Li Chun said, "My king, spare your life." Before he could say anything, he was already shot in the shoulder and back. In an instant, the blood flowed non-stop. Li Chun
But I couldn't feel much pain, and my heart said that I was really dead...
Both sides were about to join forces to thrust Li Chun into hell, but Judge Cui shouted: "Stay here!"
