This abyss seems to be connected to the depths of the earth and has no end.
I don't know how long it took, but Xu Ping felt that the speed of the dark clouds falling became slower.
At this moment, Song Qingling quietly pinched the corner of Xu Ping's clothes and looked at him eagerly.
Feeling the fear in her heart, Xu Ping turned his head and smiled at her, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."
Song Qingling hummed, but she held the corner of Xu Ping's clothes and still didn't let go.
"arrive."
The dark clouds stopped in response, and the thick fog in front of them dispersed. What came into view was a skeleton the size of a palace, and the huge black mouth of the skeleton was facing Xu Ping and Song Qingling.
"ah!"
Unable to temper herself, Song Qingling screamed in fright, causing all the gangsters to snicker.
Looking at the skull in front of him, Xu Ping turned to Xiang Yincha and asked, "Is this the eighteenth level of hell?"
The Yin Chai smiled strangely: "No, this is the first level of hell, the tongue-pulling hell."
Song Qingling's face turned pale, while Xu Ping looked at him with a frown and asked: "We are going to the eighteenth level of hell, why did you bring us here?"
Yin Chai replied: "Judge Lu is right here. Why, when you come here, don't you plan to see him first?"
Worship the mountain, right?
Xu Ping sneered and said, "Lead the way."
The Yin Zai's face also darkened, and he jumped down from the dark cloud. The four Yin Zai stood in front of the skull, looking at Xu Ping quietly.
And Xu Ping did not hesitate, and jumped off the dark clouds with Song Qingling, looking up at the skull door in front of him.
"ah--"
It was at this time that screams echoed in Xu Ping's ears, terrifying and frightening.
In the open space in front of you, there is a huge skull, covered with white bones, like a huge skull palace.
That huge black mouth looks like a peerless monster, trying to swallow up everything in the world.
Seeing the four villains already walking towards the inside, Xu Ping quickly pulled Song Qingling over and walked straight into the skull.
After entering, Xu Ping discovered that the white bones were emitting a faint green light, illuminating the space inside.
After arriving inside the skull, the miserable screams of pain became clearer.
The cries of ghosts and howls of wolves kept echoing in my ears, never stopping.
Xu Ping looked at the four shady people in front of him, and he felt an inexplicable admiration in his heart. It was not easy to stay sane in a place like this.
After passing through the gate made of skulls, my eyes suddenly lit up, and what appeared in front of me was indeed a scene of hell.
The position connected to the skull should be the throat bone of this huge skeleton. Hanging on each bone is a painfully struggling ghost.
And what hangs them in the air is his own tongue.
The tongues were pierced by sharp bone spurs and stretched so long that the ghosts hanging in the air could only make vague screams of pain.
Just looking at such a scene, Song Qingling couldn't help but feel numb. She silently thought in her heart that if she was going to suffer such torture, it would be better for her to just die.
There are more than a hundred ghosts hanging in the air like gourds, but under the forest of human-shaped gourds, there are only eight ghosts maintaining order.
"Hey, Lao Wu, it's been a long time since I had a new soul."
One of the Yinzai greeted the leading Yinzai, and at the same time looked at Xu Ping and Song Qingling with a rather playful look.
"You have to be more respectful. This is the imperial envoy sent by Zhong Kui." The undercover envoy, known as Lao Wu, said seriously, but the expression on his face was full of disdain.
"What an imperial envoy. Zhong Kui is in charge of heaven and earth, and he can control us all the way to the eighteenth level of hell." The shady envoy who spoke to him was very disdainful and did not even look at Xu Ping.
Xu Ping shook his head. It seemed that he had overestimated them. I am afraid that these evil spirits have already suffered from mental problems. If they have been in such an environment for a long time and have not gone crazy, they are born perverts. They rely on torturing ghosts.
Get pleasure and rely on this pleasure to survive for a long time.
But Song Qingling couldn't care so much and wanted to reprimand Xu Ping twice, but when she saw that Xu Ping hadn't opened his mouth yet, she forced him to shut up.
"Qing Ling, don't be influenced by them, we are here to do business."
Xu Ping shook his head at her, then turned to look at Old Wu, "Take me to see Judge Lu. I have something important to do, so I'll stay if it's inconvenient."
Lao Wu didn't say anything, he just glanced at Xu Ping and said coldly: "Come with me."
Continuing to walk forward, Xu Ping saw more ghosts. The first ghosts hanging in the air had bone spurs piercing their throats.
The ghosts here are all bifurcated from the ends of the bones, forming scissor-like shapes, and their tongues are shortened inch by inch.
Every time it fell, there was a miserable cry.
Xu Ping was even surprised to find that after the tongues of these ghosts were completely cut off, they would grow new tongues in a short period of time and be tortured again.
It goes round and round, endlessly.
"Brother Xu, are these all people who told lies during their lifetime?"
Song Qingling looked frightened and her scalp was numb. She lowered her head now and shouldn't look anymore.
But the screams in her ears still penetrated crazily into her ears.
Xu Ping had completely adapted to it now. He looked at these tortured ghosts and said calmly: "That should be the case, but not only the ones who lie, but also the ones who gossip behind their backs and slander others, they will basically be here after death.
."
However, the number of ghosts is still not large.
Among these hundreds of ghosts, a small number seemed to be unconscious. Every time the scissors fell, they did not blink their eyelids.
After staying here for an unknown amount of time, I have become completely paralyzed, and those who screamed in agony must have just arrived.
The shady old Wu who walked in front said nothing and did not introduce him. These were just Xu Ping's guesses.
I remembered what Zhong Kui said before, that most of the ghosts in the eighteenth level of hell have escaped and are now enjoying the good times outside.
I don’t know why these unlucky people hanging around didn’t run out.
This level of tongue-pulling hell is completely made up of a huge skeleton. Xu Ping walked down and found that the number of ghosts being tortured here was no more than a thousand.
Old Wu walked to a house made of bone sticks and stood at the door. His unruly mood completely disappeared and he said respectfully: "Master Lu, Master Zhongkui sent two little ghosts here, saying they are going to the eighteenth level of hell."
There was silence in the house for a moment, and then a magnetic voice came from someone who could not tell the age, "Just let them in."
Old Wu turned around and said to Xu Ping: "Master Lu, let you go in, I will wait for you here."
Xu Ping nodded and pulled Song Qingling towards the Bone House.
Zhongkui Zhenjun only said that Lu Zhidao was in the underworld and was currently managing the eighteen levels of hell, but he did not say that he must come to visit him.
Could it be that they are at odds?
At that time, I heard that the shady old Wu said that he would come to visit Lu Zhidao, so he agreed without thinking too much. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels a bit like Meng Lang.
I don't understand this Lu Zhidao's character.
At this moment, Xu Ping became hesitant, but he had already caught the duck, so he had no choice but to push the door open and be alert at the same time, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
What he didn't expect was that sitting in the Bone House was a handsome man with long hair and white clothes.
The male body and female appearance look extremely stunning.
Even Song Qingling couldn't help being surprised, both at the man's beautiful appearance and at the noble temperament exuding from his every move.
"Come and sit."
The man sat at the desk made of bones. With a wave of his hand, twice as much steaming tea appeared in front of him.
A man with outstanding temperament sat in a room full of bones. The atmosphere was so weird, but Song Qingling was uncontrollable and indulged in such an environment.
She subconsciously took a step forward, and suddenly she felt a stream of gas coming from her palm, rushing straight to her forehead, and she suddenly woke up.
"Judge Lu?"
"Exactly."
Xu Ping smiled freely, pulled Song Qingling away, and sat down opposite Lu Zhidao unceremoniously, but he didn't touch the two cups of tea on the bone table.
"I wonder what you two are doing by coming to the underworld?" Lu Zhidao could naturally see that Xu Ping and Song Qingling did not come to the underworld to be tortured.
What made Xu Ping a little displeased was that while he was talking, his eyes kept focusing on Song Qingling.
Xu Ping thought for a while, but did not tell the truth, "Zhenjun Zhongkui asked me and Qing Ling to go to the eighteenth level of hell to see the evil god. What is the situation now?"
Lu Zhidao nodded and didn't say anything. Instead, he stared at Song Qingling and opened his thin lips slightly: "I haven't asked you how to call you two?"
Xu Ping said: "My name is Xu Ping."
"Song Qingling."
A complicated smile appeared at the corner of Lu Zhidao's mouth, and with a wave of his hand, lists appeared in the air in front of him.
"Song Qingling..."
He murmured in a low voice, and then said: "You should be tortured in this tongue-pulling hell for ten years."
Upon hearing what he said, Song Qingling's face changed drastically and she was speechless.
Even if he has never seen it, he has heard that Lu Zhidao is an upright judge. Although this image is inconsistent with the rumors, the words he said still make Song Qingling a little scared.
Xu Ping spoke up and said for her: "We didn't come to the eighteenth level of hell to be tortured."
Lu Zhidao chuckled: "The rules of my eighteenth level of hell are not something Zhong Kui can easily break."
Xu Ping said: "The person facing you now is not Zhong Kui, but Xu Ping."
Seeing that he didn't give in at all, Lu Zhidao suddenly burst into laughter, then his face straightened and his eyes sharply said: "Okay!"
"It's been a long time since any ghost dared to resist what I said in front of me."
The words just fell.
Xu Ping felt an inexplicable impulse welling up from his heart, forcing himself to surrender to Lu Zhidao in front of him and explain his sins.
Song Qingling was even more unbearable. For a moment, she cried bitterly, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied, I am willing to be here..."
"Shut up!"
Xu Ping yelled, both at himself and Song Qingling.
The discomfort in her heart disappeared immediately, while Song Qingling looked at Xu Ping blankly, feeling frightened for a while.
It turns out that this is similar to the Holy Spirit.
He never thought that one day he would be able to experience the effects of the spell he had cast on him.
"Eh?!"
Seeing that Xu Ping broke his own spell, Lu Zhidao was a little shocked. This was something he did not expect.
"How can you do anything for Zhong Kui if you are such a good person?" Lu Zhidao asked.
Xu Ping smiled lightly: "When I was weak the day before yesterday, I received kindness from Lord Zhenjun. Lord Zhenjun is in trouble, so he naturally needs to repay you."
Lu Zhidao sneered: "Then you know how dangerous the mission he assigned you is."
Xu Ping shook his head: "I have always believed that danger and opportunity coexist. This is also the reason why I have been able to grow along the way."
Every danger ultimately brought me the achievements I have today.
Xu Ping has never been a person who is afraid of danger.
After looking at Xu Ping for a long time, Lu Zhidao was a little stunned, obviously not expecting that he would say such a thing.
"You will know when you get to the eighteenth level of hell. Even Zhong Kui doesn't know what the situation is like in the eighteenth level of hell now."
Hearing what he said, Xu Ping raised his eyebrows: "So, Judge Lu knows about it?"
Lu Zhidao nodded slowly: "Of course I know."
"But since this is a task given to you by Zhong Kui, I won't tell you anything. On the contrary, there is only one thing I can tell you."
"What happened?"
"I, Lu Zhidao, may not investigate this girl's sins, but you... will be cast into the eighteenth level of hell forever just like that evil god."
"forever!"
When Lu Zhidao said these words, he had already started laughing crazily. By the end of his laughter, water even appeared in the corners of his eyes.
This guy is crazy!
Xu Ping couldn't understand his brain circuit at all, and he never paid attention to what he said.
I have walked all the way in the human world, slaying demons and slaying demons. Although I have my own selfish motives, no matter what, it is impossible to end up in the eighteenth level of hell.
Seeing that Xu Ping didn't believe it at all, Lu Zhidao's eyes gradually became sharper: "The sin of murder in you is too heavy, and you are surrounded by evil spirits. Compared with that evil god, it is even worse."
But those I killed were all worthy of death... Xu Ping did not explain, but was already judging whether his own Tao Xing could deal with the Lu Zhidao in front of him.
This is obviously a mental disorder.
Lu Zhidao continued: "I have seen countless murders in your body. You should know that the underworld is the most important in terms of cause and effect."
Xu Ping said calmly: "My fruit is in my own hands."
After saying that, Xu Ping ignored the lunatic in front of him, stood up angrily, pulled Song Qingling, and wanted to leave.
Lu Zhidao looked at Xu Ping's back and did not stop him. He just said loudly: "You remember what I said, as long as you enter the eighteenth level of hell, you will never come out."
After walking out of the Bone House, Old Wu, who was waiting outside, took a look at them, but without hearing any instructions from Lu Zhidao, he led them straight towards the abyss.
"I didn't expect that you were able to walk out safely, but I would like to advise you that if Judge Lu says something to you, you must be obedient."
