Chapter 122 The Gate of the Underworld
That ghost stood at the gate of the underworld.
It was not an ordinary ghost, he had a powerful small universe, just like...the gods and Buddhas in the Nine Heavens.
The gods and Buddhas in the nine heavens have huge energy. Such energy makes the world harmonious and peaceful, purify the sinful mind, and quiet the anxious soul.
And the energy in this person is like a god and a Buddha. He is the man closest to God, the Golden Saint Seiya Shaka of Virgo!
Shaka walked towards the gate of the underworld, and a dark figure appeared before his eyes.
"Who?" Shaka gently opened his lips. Although his words were not loud, they were clearly transmitted through the small universe and transmitted into the dark figure's ears.
"Hehe, you want to ask who I am? I am the boatman of the Agron River in the Underworld, just an ordinary boatman. There is no need for you to ask my name at all."
Shagachi said: "Why don't I need to ask your name? Is it because you are really just an unknown person?"
Shaka walked forward a few more steps before he could see the person's appearance clearly: he was wearing a painted black robe and his eyes were covered with black lenses. It could be seen that his face looked extremely ugly, just like a watchdog in Hell of the Pluto!
"It seems that I really don't need to know your name." Shaga said softly, "But it seems that without your help, I will definitely not be able to cross the river, right?"
The boatman laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so smart. You are truly the Virgo Golden Saint Saint Shaka. That's right, without the help of me, the boatman, you can't cross the Agron River alone!"
"This Agron River is far upstream to the real place of Hades, the Pure Land of Bliss. Only by passing this Agron River can you reach the real hell." The boatman sneered and said to Shaka: "But if you don't carry anything precious with you and can't afford my boat fare, you can't get to the opposite side. My boatman won't collect the ordinary coins in your life world!"
Shaga sneered, "Is that true? Then what if I use your life as the price?"
The boatman sneered: "I don't care about anything else in the sky and the earth, but on this Agron River, I am the only boatman who can drive the ferry. Others, even Hades, cannot drive the ferry! If you kill me, not only you, but also the Saint Seiya behind you, can't enter this hell of the underworld!"
"You!" Shajia was furious. He didn't know whether the boatman was saying true or not, but if what he said was true, wouldn't he ruin the entire Saint Seiya army's plan?
If the entire Saint Seiya army fails due to his thoughts, he will be the sinner of all Saint Seiya!
Shaka is not without precious things. The cross in his hand is the most precious thing in his life. But it is the item that Shaka was once handed over to him in front of the temple and asked him to keep it well. It can even be said that it is the most important proof of Shaka's protection as a god and Buddha.
If such an important thing is handed over to this boatman, Shaka's soul will not be able to ascend to heaven after death, but will only fall into hell, which is the dark, cold, eternal world of death in front of you...
"Okay, I'll give it to you." Shaga smiled and handed over his precious cross to the boatman of the Agron River.
"Hehe, wouldn't it be better to be so happy." The boatman shouted: "Come up, Saint Seiya. Compared to those who could only cross half of the river before, your thing is so valuable that all Saint Seiya can pass through the entire Agron River!"
Shaka walked onto the boat and a charming smile appeared on his face.
The Buddha said that when you smile, you will realize it. Although Shaka does not pick up flowers now, his smile naturally leads to real enlightenment!
In order to continue the entire Saint Seiya army, Shaka alone paid for his fate of falling into hell. This is what people call becoming a Buddha with one thought!
After passing the Agron River, Shaka continued to walk forward and came to a hall of judgment.
"Is this the legendary place of judgment?" Shaka murmured to himself softly.
"Don't speak loudly!"
On the judge's face, a figure suddenly appeared. The judge sat majestic on the judge's face, slapped the gavel and said to Shaka: "Who is here to come here to bring you all the sins you have committed in your life!"
Shaga smiled slightly and said, "The only mistake I have done in my life is to give the cross that the Buddha gave me to the boatman of the Agron River as a ship fee in the Agron River."
The judge looked through his judge's book and said to Shaka: "This judge will now use the sins you have committed in your life to decide which of the seven hells in the underworld!"
When he turned to a certain page of the judge's book, he was shocked!
"How...how is this man, is it a saint? How could he have committed no sin at all!"
People who have not committed any sins at all are even unprecedented in the book of life and death in the underworld. Even if they kill an ant, pick a small flower, and climb a branch, they are all sins in the concept of the underworld.
Shaka is most clear about this concept. Because this concept in the underworld is exactly the same as the concept of gods and Buddhas.
All beings are equal, whether it is a flower, leaf, grass, and tree, or a rabbit, a lamb, a pig, or a person. Whether it is animals or plants, everything is equal. In the ruling of the underworld, all this must become a existence of sin and punishment. In the minds of gods and Buddhas, all this is a perfect person and a saint should have.
Shaka is such a perfect man and saint. Only perfect man and saints will not be sentenced to the sins and punishments of the underworld and the crimes of the underworld.
Yes, Shaka's fate did not get worse because of that cross. On the contrary, his final judgment was to enter heaven, become an angel, and stay away from this dark underworld...
Without any punishment, Shaka left the Inquisition and continued to walk towards the next hell.
When he came to the third hell, he saw a tomb, in which a human-shaped tombstone was erected!
