Pirates of the Heavens

Chapter 313 Eighteen Levels of Hell

"Hey, why are you still standing there? Let's go!"

A strong voice sounded in Blackbeard's ear, and he turned his head to see that it was a tauren with two bull's hooves, strong and powerful, holding a steel hairpin.

It said in a low voice: "What are you looking at, go away! If you don't go away, I'll give you a fork!"

Heibeard looked down, and he didn't know when he had been shackled by handcuffs and shackles, and there was even a wooden shackle around his neck.

How could Blackbeard have suffered such humiliation? He yelled, and immediately wanted to use his devil fruit ability to shake all these things away.

But he never thought that his ability would be sealed.

"Is this made of Hailou Stone?" Blackbeard asked doubtfully.

The bull head on the side picked up the steel hairpin in his hand, and slapped Blackbeard on the back.

"what!"

Blackbeard couldn't help shouting.

Because of his dark fruit, his response to pain has been enhanced hundreds of times.

He was so painful that he was sweating all over his body, and he couldn't even yell out when he opened his mouth.

"Let's go as soon as I tell you. Your grandpa Niu has seen many ghosts, and you are not missing!"

Blackbeard had no choice but to obey the bull's head and followed it.

After a few steps, another monster came.

This monster turned out to be a horse-headed man with two horseshoes and a man with a horse's head.

"New?" it said.

Niutou nodded: "The ghost was caught halfway, but it seems that he has done all the bad things. He will catch Judge Cui and let him judge him."

Ma Mian lifted the black beard and put it in front of his eyes for a look.

"It smells like a bad person, and it's likely to go to the [-]th floor of hell."

Blackbeard remembered the scene of the [-]th floor of hell that he had seen before, and immediately struggled: "I don't want it, I am a good person, how could I be a bad person? I do good things every day, but I don't leave my name, so everyone doesn't know."

"To shut up!"

Ma Mian's temper became even more irritable, and as soon as he closed the knife, he slapped Heibeard's thigh.

"Whether you are a bad person or not, Judge Cui will know when he sees it. Just the evil aura on your body, I know you are a big bad person as soon as I smell it."

Blackbeard didn't dare to gnaw, rolled his eyes, thinking about how to escape.

The bull's head and horse's face began, and the two of them pressed the black beard together and walked forward.

Travel more than ten miles to reach a river, not a few feet wide, flowing to the southwest.

Blackbeard looked at this gloomy scene, turned his head and asked Niutou, "Where is this place?"

Niutou replied angrily: "The so-called Nai River in this custom comes from the underworld."

Blackbeard then looked at the Nai River, the water in the river was full of blood and was extremely filthy.

With the waves, the insects, snakes, centipedes and toads in the river were dug out, and the fishy wind was everywhere, making people sick.

Both sides of the river are crowded with all kinds of ghosts.

On the entire river, there is only one light and narrow bridge.

On the bridge, there are day tour gods and night tour gods guarding them.

But the bridge deck is shiny and not easy to walk on.

A few souls slipped and fell directly into the Nai River, where they were swallowed up by the insects, snakes, centipedes and toads in the river, screaming endlessly.

Heibeard took a closer look, and saw that the narrow Naihe Bridge was actually divided into three floors.

Niu Tou explained on his behalf: "The bridge is divided into three layers. The ghosts of good people can safely pass through the upper bridge, the half-good and half-evil people can pass through the middle bridge, and the ghosts of wicked people can pass through the lower bridge. And you..."

Niu Tou paused, and walked directly to the bottom floor, pressing down on Blackbeard.

Blackbeard shouted: "I am wronged! I am wronged!"

But he heard that the ghosts next to him were shouting "I'm wronged", but the bull-headed horse-faced people ignored it.

They lifted the whips in their hands and whipped them at the stagnant souls, screaming again.

Seeing that Ma Mian had raised the Guan Kung Knife, Heibeard immediately confessed.

"I'm going, I'm going."

So, with the bull's head and the horse's face pressed against the black beard, he walked to the bottom floor.

(PS: This section is made up of folk stories about the underworld, which is probably the belief in our country, the basic structure of the underworld. According to legend, there is a road called Huangquan Road, a river called Wangchuan River, and a bridge called Naihe Bridge. Go There is an earthen platform called Wangxiang Terrace across the Naihe Bridge, and there is an old woman named Mengpo soup beside the Wangxiang Terrace. There is a stone called Sansheng Stone by the Wangchuan River. Mengpo soup makes you forget everything. The Sansheng Stone records your past and present lives. We walked across the Naihe Bridge, looked at the world for the last time on the Wangxiang Terrace, and drank a cup of Wangchuan River boiled.

This bridge is the boundary, and a new reincarnation begins.

On the bluestone bridge deck, with five steps, women are on the west side of the bridge, men are on the east side of the bridge, yin on the left and yang on the right. "If anyone dies at the age of 97, he will wait on the bridge for three years."Looking back at a thousand years, a promise of a hundred years.Maybe the relationship between husband and wife in this life begins here, and ends here.

Thousands of feet under the Naihe bridge, surrounded by clouds and mists, no one knows what it is to wait for the afterlife.The promise of the next life is just a follow-up in this life. After drinking Mengpo soup, I have forgotten everything, and the meeting in the next life is just a new beginning.

There is no bridge, no parting in the previous life, no meeting in this life, no reunion in the next life.

"Mengpo Soup" is an ancient Chinese legend, which is recorded in an ancient book of Lanzi's family.In that legend, people are reincarnated from generation to generation.The end of this life is but the beginning of the next.People who cycle from generation to generation cannot have the memory of the past life, just because everyone will drink Mengpo soup on the Naihe Bridge before reincarnation.Therefore, when walking on the Naihe Bridge, it is the last time for a person to have the memory of this life.At this moment, many people are still clinging to the unfinished wishes of the previous life, but they deeply understand that these wishes will not be realized in the end, and they will let out a long sigh.This is why the bridge connecting the reincarnation of different generations is named Naihe Bridge. )
The last bridge deck is very close to the Nai River.

The spray was even able to hit Blackbeard's face, and the bloody smell of this dozen lingered on Blackbeard's face for a long time.

There were even some mischievous snakes that jumped up and bit Blackbeard's feet.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Blackbeard couldn't help screaming, but was cut off by Ma Mian.

He had no choice but to hold back, let the insects bite, and continued to walk forward.

Along the way, many souls accidentally fell into the Nai River and were swallowed up by insects, snakes, centipedes and toads.

After crossing the Naihe Bridge, it is the gate of hell.

Suddenly, I saw a city with a big sign hanging on the gate, on which was written the seven big gold characters of 'Pylorus, Difu, Ghost Gate'.

There are eighteen ghost kings and door imps guarding on both sides.Strict barriers, copper walls and iron walls, are unbreakable.

The bull's head and horse's face came here with a black beard, but was stopped by the ghost king.

The Ghost King said gloomyly, "Is Lu Yin there?"

No matter which ghost comes here, it must be checked to see if it has a pass.This pass is the "road guide".It is the certificate for the soul of a person to report to the underworld after death.Printed on this three-foot-long and two-foot-wide yellow paper are "Issuing guides to Emperor Yan Luo, the emperor of Fengdu" and "All people in the world must have this guide before they can reincarnate and ascend to heaven in the underworld of Fengdu". Three seals, "Prince", "City God", and "Fengdu County Grandfather".When a person dies, he burns it, and the dead soul takes it to the gate of hell, and can only enter the gate after being checked and found to be correct.

The bull's head and horse face immediately slapped Black Beard: "Hurry up and hand over the road."

Blackbeard was stunned for a moment, he had no way to guide him, his body was empty and he had nothing.

He had no choice but to look at the souls next to him to see what they could come up with.

It's a pity that the distance is too far, and Black Beard can't see clearly at all.

He asked suspiciously: "If I don't have a guide, can you send me back?"

The ghost king smiled coldly: "If there is no guide, then just give it to me as food, and I will be full immediately!"

Blackbeard was trembling all over, and the ghost king was drooling just now, it seemed that he really wanted to eat him.

The bloody mouth of the ghost king is really frightening.

"Take it out quickly!"

Ma Mian is another pass.

Blackbeard was in pain, and he cried and said, "My lords, I really don't have one. I shouldn't be dead yet, so please send me back!"

The ghost king and the bull-headed horse looked at each other.

Ma Mian said quietly: "Lord Ghost King, this man has a strong aura of villainy. I knew he was a real villain when I smelled it. This kind of person must not be let go. Why don't we go in and hand it over to Judge Cui?"

The ghost king thought carefully, and finally sighed: "Okay, you go!"

As it spoke, it gave Blackbeard a mark.

"If you run away, I will catch you and eat you!"

Blackbeard nodded quickly: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will not escape."

After entering the gate of hell, it is the city of death in vain.

But the bull-headed and horse-faced man didn't press his black beard into the City of Dead Death, he just passed by and went straight to the Palace of the King of Hell.

Black Beard asked curiously: "My lords, why don't you take me there?"

Niutou explained: "People who died in vain will be concentrated in the city of vain death after death, until the end of their original fate. They will be imprisoned in Wushi City and released from Wushi City until they are 90 years old. During this period, the dead souls detained in Wushi City can live like people in the mortal world, and they can go to the city to see if the person who murdered him has received the punishment. There is retribution, but their personal freedom will be strictly controlled. They can neither receive ghost paper and paper sacrifices burned by their relatives and friends in the yang world, nor can they return to the yang world to accept the blessings of their relatives in the yang world on the Ghost Festival like other dead souls. All the money and items burnt to these dead souls will be temporarily stored in the place of Venerable Mulian, who assists Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, until these dead souls see with their own eyes that those who murdered him get their due retribution, their resentment is comforted, and they propose relief. When they are released to the palaces and prisons, it means that these dead souls can only be handed over after the detention period in the city of vain death expires, and then they will be reincarnated according to their good and evil in life, or rewards or punishments."

Niutou took a deep breath: "And you, you are not like a person who died in vain, and you are taken directly to the Palace of Hades to wait for the judge to pronounce the sentence."

Blackbeard didn't say any more about being wronged, because these two bull-headed and horse-faced people would not listen to his one-sided words.

If you say so, you will receive an extra beating.

The four civil and military judges in the Yan Luowang Palace belong to the Department of Rewarding Good, the Department of Punishment, the Department of Yin Law, and the Department of Prosecution.

Cui Jue, the Department of Yin Law, is the number one figure in the Yin Cao Difu. He holds the book of life and death in his left hand and the ecstasy pen in his right.

With a bull's head and a horse's face, his black beard was pressed all the way to the palace of Hades.

"Your Majesty!"

Ma Mian slammed the saber on Blackbeard's legs.

Blackbeard felt pain for a moment, and immediately knelt down.

"Still meeting Judge Cui?"

Blackbeard had no choice but to kneel on the ground and kowtow: "I met Judge Cui. Tell Judge Cui, I really didn't die, I was just brought here by someone!"

"Shut up! This officer is in charge of the investigation department, rewards good and punishes evil, and manages life and death. Whether you live or die is naturally up to me!"

As he spoke, Judge Cui took out the book of life and death in his hand.

"Bold!"

Judge Cui pointed at Blackbeard's nose and cursed: "People like you who are unfaithful, filial, fraternal, disrespectful, disrespectful, righteous, honest, and shameless should be sent to the eighteenth level of hell and tortured on each level!"

As he spoke, Judge Cui threw out a token.

"Come on, push him into the eighteenth floor of hell!"

The bull head and horse face immediately took the order: "Yes!"

Then, with the bull's head and the horse's face pressed against the black beard, he walked towards the eighteenth floor of hell.

Blackbeard immediately called out his grievances, but unfortunately he was powerless.

Niu Tou said: "Blackbeard, you are sowing discord in the mortal world, slandering and harming others, slick tongue, clever arguments, lying and deceiving people. Go ahead and pull out your tongue in hell, and pay back your bad debts from your previous life!"

As he spoke, a little ghost opened Blackbeard's mouth, clamped his tongue with iron pliers, and pulled it out.

Blackbeard couldn't even cry out in pain, he could only scream.

His tongue had been pulled out inch by inch.

Niutou continued: "In the world, if a woman's husband unfortunately dies early, she will be a widow. If you incite her to remarry, now you will cut off ten of your fingers!"

As he said that, another kid came with a pair of scissors, and cut off ten of Blackbeard's fingers.

Drenched with blood, Blackbeard could only scream.

Niutou continued: "When you were alive, you provoked father and son, brothers, sisters and husbands to discord, and after death, you will be like an iron tree hell!"

There are sharp knives on the tree, and the person who comes from the back picks them under the skin and hangs them on the iron tree.

Blackbeard was hanged for an unknown period of time, and every second was a torment.

Finally one day, he was pulled up by the bull's head and went to the next level of hell.

"You usually talk about your parents and your friends, spread rumors, frame, slander, and insult you. Sentence you to steamer hell!"

Blackbeard was pushed into the steamer and steamed day and night.

"Those who set fire intentionally or for the purpose of destroying evidence, revenge, and murder will be sent to the Copper Pillar Hell after death."

The little ghosts stripped off Blackbeard's clothes, and let Blackbeard's body hug a copper cylinder with a diameter of one meter and a height of two meters.Burn a charcoal fire in the cylinder, and keep fanning the wind, and soon the copper cylinder will turn red.

"If you kill animals, you will save weight by killing them, and you will enter the knife mountain hell!"

"Fornication with others, you will enter the iceberg hell!"

"Prostitution and whoring, thieves and robbers, bullying and bullying, false accusations and slander of others, those who eat animal meat, who seek to seize other people's property, and wives and wives, after death, they will be thrown into the frying pan hell!"

"Treat livestock at will, base your pleasure on their pain. Well then, go to bullpit hell after death."

"Anyone who doesn't respect others, doesn't honor their parents, doesn't upright, or crooked people, after death, will be thrown into the blood pool hell, thrown into the blood pool to suffer."

"Those who trample on crops, thieves and thieves, corrupt officials, and those who oppress the common people will be thrown into the Stone Mill Hell after death."

"Those who deceive the superiors and deceive the inferiors, and trade unfairly, will be thrown into the saw hell after death."
