Chapter 153
The King of Hell is easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with (1) The underworld is the hell that the world generally understands in a narrow sense, and the reason why it is understood in a narrow sense is because in fact, there is not only hell in the underworld.
Place, because hell is just similar to prisons or detention centers in the human world and other places dedicated to punishment.
The reason why the underworld is called the underworld is because it is a space in itself, a world similar to the human world. Therefore, in the underworld, it has an extremely vast space and realm, which is even worse than the human world.
, in addition to the well-known "hell", there is also the Fengdu Ghost City, and hundreds of small hells under the Ten Palaces of Hell. The ghost city is a city similar to humans, and the ghost king is naturally the king of all ghosts. All those who died in vain,
They must all spend the rest of their lives in the Fengdu Ghost City, that is, the City of Wasted Death, and the Ten Palaces of Hell in the underworld are like human courts, police and other law enforcement agencies. The ghost officers inside are naturally the ones responsible for arresting people.
, punishment, etc. are occupations that carry out the orders of the King of Ghosts, Yama.
All these things have an absolute division of labor. They are not random. There is no chaotic order. Everyone performs their duties and there are strict levels of each profession. Therefore, the underworld can be said to be an extremely huge world.
When Zhang Qi arrived here for the first time, it was as if she suddenly fell into a completely unfamiliar world. Everything was new. Except for the little information Zhang Qi got from Xu Xiaoxiao, she knew nothing about this world.
There is no understanding of what happened, and more of it is Zhang Qi’s understanding of the mythical stories.
At this time, Zhang Qi did come to the real underworld through the connection channel opened by You Yilingguan. However, after Zhang Qi appeared in the underworld, he did not move forward rashly because he found that everything he had imagined at the beginning was
Everything that human beings have always believed is actually quite far from what they are seeing right now.
Perhaps most people think that a place like the underworld must be a dark place, or even a smoky place without any vitality. However, after Zhang Qi suddenly fell from the passage that appeared in the sky, what he saw was,
But it is a sea of flowers that is difficult to see in the human world, a sea of flowers that can’t be seen to the edge and is as tall as a person.
For a moment, Zhang Qi even doubted whether she had come to heaven or heaven, rather than the frightening underworld. After all, this kind of scenery was absolutely unseen in the human world, and even if she could see it, maybe it would only be
They are the flowers that appear in front of Zhang Qi's eyes in artificially planted flower beds. Although they look somewhat similar, Zhang Qi believes that this is definitely not done intentionally, because even if Zhang Qi doesn't understand flowers, he can still distinguish them.
It’s clear that these flowers are definitely not the same species
Colorful, mostly yellow flowers, various forms of flowers are scattered here in an irregular manner, but they do not destroy its own beauty. On the contrary, a feeling of natural harmony arises spontaneously.
"This... this is the underworld? Is there such a beautiful underworld? If this is really the underworld, I would really rather live in such a carefree world. After all, it is so beautiful here..." Zhang Qi looked at
The sea of flowers in front of me, breathing the faint fragrance from the sea of flowers, couldn't help but whisper to herself, because Zhang Qi believes that everyone who comes here will stop and linger here.
But just after Zhang Qi finished speaking, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and within two seconds of this premonition, Zhang Qi heard several tearing screams, and behind these screams
At the same time, there were also shouts and curses
"What a terrible scenery..." Zhang Qi couldn't help but whispered after hearing such a situation that was absolutely out of place for this situation.
But after all, Zhang Qi still wanted to take a look. After all, Zhang Qi still wanted to find Judge Cui at this time. She was not familiar with the place here, so it would be really tricky to find such a person here.
, and more importantly, Zhang Qi didn’t even know who Judge Cui was, and even wished that he would pass by her without even recognizing him.
Zhang Qi is really not to blame for this situation happening at this time, because Zhang Qi has been calling Xu Xiaoxiao to see him since he appeared, but Xu Xiaoxiao would usually come here to report to him within a few seconds at most.
Xiaoxiao, but this time when he was needed the most, he was nowhere to be seen. So it’s no wonder that Zhang Qi wanted to find a way out by himself. After all, although the scenery here is beautiful, it’s just a look.
In the human world, Ye Zixuan is still waiting for him. Zhang Qi doesn't want to waste time in this place. Compared with the scenery and his hopes, Zhang Qi hopes to see Ye Zixuan and Ye Zixuan's smile for him.
"Pa..." The crisp sound of a whip suddenly came, and then, another tearing cry came, and this sound got closer and closer to Zhang Qi, and Zhang Qi was seen hurriedly crouching down among the flowers.
In the middle, I secretly looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
"What...what is this for?" About ten seconds later, Zhang Qi saw a row of people tied up with hemp ropes not far in front of him. No, to be precise, they should be dead souls, just human beings.
It's just their souls, because Zhang Qi found that their feet were suspended in the air and did not land like his own.
Zhang Qi is still clear about this, because Xu Xiaoxiao explained to himself through Yu Hongliang's incident before that only those dead souls with high moral standards can walk freely with their feet on the ground, and these dead souls have obviously just died.
Not to mention the power, even walking is difficult
Next to these dead souls were five people who had fallen to the ground. Judging from their clothes, they were ghosts from the underworld. Upon seeing this, Zhang Qi believed that these ghosts were extradited by these ghosts at this time.
, walked forward quickly, and if someone walked a little slower, one of the ghosts would whip him unceremoniously with the hook in his hand, and the shout that Zhang Qi heard just now should be from a certain gangster because
Beaten for disobedience
This team of more than a dozen people marched in the sea of flowers, but there were no flowers and plants as tall as a person around them, because when they passed by, the flowers and plants in front of them would automatically
disappeared, and when they passed by, the flowers and plants miraculously returned to their former glory, just like they split a crack in the sea of flowers, but the crack could automatically restore itself after they passed by.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Qi did not get up, but still lay here, watching them quietly
"Brother Guizha, please let us go back. We don't want to die. You must have made something wrong..."
Just as these people were passing by Zhang Qi, one of them suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to a ghost servant beside him. Upon hearing his words, the men and women who were passing by him all hurriedly said:
At the same time, he knelt down and kowtowed to pray to this ghost messenger like him.
"Hmph, as ghosts in the underworld, how can we not act according to the rules? The bus you people were riding in went off the road and fell into the abyss. You yourself know very well that there is no way that any of these people can survive.
Still..." Perhaps because this time these people were begging for mercy collectively, these ghost officers did not whip them as before, but a person who seemed to be taking the lead explained to them sternly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the dead souls still didn't seem to believe it. Then, the ghost messenger said sharply again, "You have reached Huangquan Road now. Haven't you heard the saying 'There is no turning back on the Huangquan Road'? Since you have already arrived
On the road to hell, then follow us obediently to the judge to accept the trial. If any of you have accumulated good deeds in the world of heaven, and have not done anything harmful or treacherous, or even insulted your parents with eloquent words, then not only will you not suffer any harm,
Punishments such as digging out the heart and eyes in a frying pan will lead to smooth reincarnation, and you will enjoy all the glory and wealth in the next life, and even go straight to heaven. But if not... hehe... I believe you are also very clear about the punishment in hell.
More than a hundred kinds? Don’t you know what’s waiting for you?”
At this time, the ghost sergeant had not finished speaking, but the meaning of his words was already obvious. As soon as he finished speaking, the words of the dead souls who had just knelt down to beg for mercy were almost
It stopped abruptly in an instant, and a look of regret, disappointment, and even despair immediately appeared.
In today's society, not to mention doing evil things, even your own relatives may be the first targets of persecution. Therefore, I believe that none of these people will be reincarnated in peace. The only ones waiting for them are those in hell.
Punishment for the wicked...
"Get up, let's go quickly, Judge Cui is still waiting for us... Don't let me take your time..." After the ghost officer said just now, several other ghost officers said sharply almost in unison, and in their hands
The soul-catching locks were also raised at the same time. After hearing several consecutive whips, these dead souls immediately stood up and moved forward in shock.
"This is Huangquan Road? Huangquan Road is actually a place paved with a sea of yellow flowers? This... this is a bit too much... Who made such a slander against him in such a beautiful place..." Zhang
When Qi heard that the ghost messenger actually said that this was the legendary Huangquan Road, she couldn't help but whispered to herself in a surprised voice.
Indeed, this is indeed the Huangquan Road that people are familiar with, but it is not a spooky and terrifying place as humans imagine, because Huangquan Road is the only way to the ghost town in the underworld, and in order to prevent fools from escaping by chance,
Trying to return to the human world privately, that's why the road to hell is like this. After all, in this endless sea of flowers with no signs at all, it is simply impossible to discern the direction. What awaits them is to be caught again.
Capture, even become a wandering fool, and finally become part of the air
At this time, Zhang Qi heard such a brief conversation from this ghost messenger. In addition to knowing that this was Huangquan Road, she also knew where these ghost messengers were going, which was Fengdu Ghost City, where Judge Cui and the Ghost King were.
The place is also the destination that Zhang Qi wants to go to this time. Seeing this, Zhang Qi certainly can't miss this opportunity. After all, God knows when the next time a ghost will pass by here. As the saying goes, after passing this village, you can't miss it.
With the store gone, Zhang Qi hurriedly stood up and ran towards the ghost not far ahead.
"Hey...wait..." Zhang Qi appeared behind their team and immediately shouted loudly
In a place like this, a loud scream suddenly appeared. Not to mention the dead souls who had never seen the world, even the ghost servants couldn't help being shocked. They all held the soul locks in their hands and looked at the back of the team.
And seeing Zhang Qi's feet actually touching the ground, these ghosts got even more excited.
"Who dares to stop the ghost mission from doing things..." After the ghost mission saw Zhang Qi's figure, the ghost mission who seemed to be the leader immediately stepped forward and shouted to Zhang Qi
"I am Zhang Qi, the nocturnal priest. You are going to the ghost town. Take me with you. I don't know the way..." On Zhang Qi's side, after hearing what the ghost said, he had no intention of hiding it and directly revealed his identity.
, said to this ghost
"Night-Wandering Priest?" At this time, the ghost servant heard Zhang Qi's words and did not salute him as Zhang Qi imagined. Instead, he asked himself with some doubts, and the few people behind him
Gui Cha, in addition to not letting down his vigilance, also had a smile on his face that Zhang Qi couldn't understand at all.
"Yes, what? Is there any problem?" Zhang Qi didn't understand at this time. He was the Yeyou Priest. Is there any problem? Didn't Xu Xiaoxiao and the others always call him this? And there was no such thing as You Yi Lingguan.
There was something wrong, but when they came here, they were questioned, which really puzzled Zhang Qi.
"No problem, I just want to know what you have to prove yourself?" After hearing Zhang Qi's question, the ghost officer asked again
I am a nocturnal priest, and I still need to prove it. Zhang Qi really did not expect that such a thing would happen. But at this time, Zhang Qi had something to ask for, so Zhang Qi once again said the truth, "I am a nocturnal priest, and I still need to prove it."
?If you want to prove it, how about this thing? Can it prove my identity?"
Zhang Qi said, summoning the ghost king's soul-stealing gold medal in his hand, and gestured to the ghost.
When Zhang Qi saw the ghosts before, not to mention using the gold medal, he just stopped there by himself. These ghosts were frightened. However, at this time, Zhang Qi's identity was not only questioned as never before, but also even
He took out the soul-stealing gold medal, and these people didn't show any fear at all. On the contrary, the smug smiles on the faces of those ghosts were even worse.
The soul-stealing gold medal is the personal token of the ghost king of the underworld. This matter has not only been confirmed by Xu Xiaoxiao, but also confirmed by You Yilingguan, who is also the righteous god of the middle palace with him. Zhang Qi believes that this matter is
It is absolutely true, there is absolutely no doubt about it. But Zhang Qi thought that things should go very smoothly, but something unexpected happened here.
"Gold medal? Ghost King's soul-stealing gold medal?" At this time, the ghost clerk couldn't help laughing when he saw the gold medal in Zhang Qi's hand. Then he took a few steps forward, walked up to Zhang Qi without any care, and took Zhang Qi's hand.
He took the gold medal in his hand, looked back and forth casually a few times, weighed it twice, and then said
"Don't tell me, this should be the most real gold medal I have ever seen. It seems that you must have seen a real gold medal, right? It looks like a big head, but... you forgot one thing, the ghost king's gold medal
It was indeed given to the current Night Travel Priest. However, the Night Travel Priest is not in the underworld now. He has been reincarnated as a human, so how could he appear in the underworld? Come on, catch this fish that slipped through the net for me... How could it be in the underworld?
He can be free to act recklessly..."
As the ghost said, he threw the gold medal in his hand casually into the distance, and then saw the gold medal flying into the flowers. However, what no one among them noticed was that the gold medal was falling into the flowers.
In an instant, it disappeared... and the ghost messenger called out the Soul Hook in his hand. The Soul Hook softened and instantly turned into a long rope, trapping Zhang Qi's hands.
Perhaps because these ghosts were worried about Zhang Qi's escape, except for one of the remaining ghosts who stayed to guard the souls, the remaining two or three all used the soul hooks in their hands to entangle Zhang Qi.
"You... what are you doing?" At this time, Zhang Qi, with the exception of his face exposed, his whole body was entangled by these three or four hooks, unable to move at all, and immediately asked these ghosts sharply
road
"What are you doing? I'll take you to Cui Pan's place to see who you really are. You actually came here and pretended to be a nocturnal priest..." Hearing Zhang Qi's words, the ghost officer laughed and said
"Pretend?" At this time, Zhang Qizhen understood but was also confused.
What Zhang Qi understood at this time was that these ghosts thought that she was a fake night-walking priest, and she was in the state of a soul. They were the ghosts in the divine position, so they naturally wanted to catch her, but Zhang Qi was confused because she couldn't figure it out.
