If the Netherworld is viewed as a picture, the Underworld is the center of the picture.
Guhundang is a vast space except the underworld.
Here, there is no top, no bottom, no left or right, and there is no directional indication except that the location of the underworld can be found from any direction.
If he wants to find someone in Guhundang, unless he shows his position, he can only rely on luck.
This is also the main reason why Lingqing collected so many ghosts in Guhundang but was not surrounded and suppressed by anyone.
As for Zhong Kui, who led the remnants of the Yin Division to fight against the Ghost King of Yin Mountain, he naturally did not dare to expose his lair easily.
Not only him, but also the Dragon Court of all dynasties. Except for ghost generals and above, even if the ghost soldiers under his command go out, they can't even think of getting them back.
Otherwise, he would have been destroyed by the Ghost King of Yinshan Mountain long ago.
Lingqing followed Lu Zhidao as he flew away in the lonely soul. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw the gray mist in front of him dissipate, revealing a huge city.
The city was hundreds of feet high and stretched thousands of miles around. It was as gray as a giant beast lurking in the mist, occasionally revealing its huge figure.
"This is the City of Wasted Death. When we retreated, we brought it out." Lu Zhidao pointed to the giant city in front of him.
To die in vain is not to end one's life properly.
Rather, those who die unjustly due to suicide, disaster, war, accident, murder, victimization, etc. are all called unjust deaths.
This city was originally the place where the ghosts of those who died in vain lived in the underworld.
A person who died in vain died before the end of his lifespan and held a grudge. He had to live in the city to see his enemy's retribution and live out his full lifespan.
Only then will they be reincarnated according to their good and evil deeds, rewards or punishments.
But now it has become Zhong Kui's foundation in Guhundang, and he has reset the underworld in the city.
Because he is the judge of the Department of Punishing Evil, he catches the ghosts who do evil and punishes them, and then sends them to the Department of Reincarnation together with the ghosts who do good.
Then the reincarnation department will send them to reincarnation according to their good and evil.
After seeing Lu Zhidao, the gatekeeper with an ox-headed horse face came up to him from a distance. Behind him, there were also imps who quickly entered the city to report.
When Ling Qing and Lu Zhidao first entered the city, they saw a tall figure with a leopard head and ringed eyes, an iron face and chirped temples, a strange appearance, and wearing a purple robe approaching them.
This person is none other than Zhong Kui, the judge of the Department of Punishing Evil.
After exchanging a few words with Lu Zhidao, Zhong Kui took the two of them to the city office.
Lingqing didn't say anything, and just watched Lu Zhidao tell Zhong Kui the whole story.
After Zhong Kui heard this, he kept scanning Ling Qing with his big copper bell-like eyes, as if he wanted to see through his true identity.
"I heard Brother Lu Xian said that the real person can make the red lotus karma fire, I wonder if I can show it to my family."
Although in the Ming Dynasty today, the eunuchs in the palace often call themselves our family, but in Zhong Kui's era, most people from Kansai called themselves.
"Please, Judge Zhong!" Lingqing did not refuse after hearing the words, and raised his hand to shoot out a red lotus karma fire.
When Zhong Kui saw this fiery red lotus, he knew it was the real red lotus karma fire. He nodded secretly in his heart and raised his hand to take it.
The fire didn't even draw away any sinful karma, it just turned into a stream of essence energy and integrated into his body.
And the injuries caused by his previous battle with the Ghost King of Yinshan were treated.
"What a judge who drives out ghosts and evil, and a saint who blesses the house." Ling Qing couldn't help but praise him when he saw this.
Lu Zhidao, who is also a judge, also has bad karma. Even Ling Qing himself will inevitably do some bad karma.
But the Zhong Kui in front of him actually had no bad karma at all. He was worthy of being the judge in charge of punishing evil in the underworld.
"Master, I'm overly praised." Zhong Kui felt relieved after seeing that Ling Qing could really make the Red Lotus Karma Fire happen.
The red lotus karma fire is designed to burn sinful karma. Those who can make this fire are either those who regard evil as their path, or those who are full of good intentions.
The Lingqing in front of him is obviously not someone who regards evil as his path and seeks to destroy the world and kill all living beings to build his own path. He is naturally a kind-hearted person.
That's enough to trust the plan he said.
Not to mention anything else, just having the help of this red lotus karma fire can relieve a lot of his worries.
After all, the City of Wasted Death was only used to house people who died in vain. Now, regardless of whether they are good or evil, he has taken all the ghosts into it.
There is no hellish place of execution in this city.
The ghosts who are judged by him can only suffer the pain of being devoured by thousands of ghosts. If they can survive it, they have passed the punishment.
If you can't survive it, you will be eaten by all ghosts.
This cannot be an effective punishment at all.
After all, the purpose of punishment is to punish evildoers and correct their mistakes.
When there is no punishment like hell, you cannot even die.
At the very least, it cannot be reincarnated if it still harbors resentment.
Previously, they had no choice but to do this, but with Lingqing's Red Lotus Karma Fire Queen.
Even if there is no guarantee that evil spirits will survive the burning of karma, it can at least burn away their sinful karma.
However, when Ling Qing showed the ghost that he had collected in the Nine Heavens Realm in front of them, they realized that Ling Qing could do better.
The red lotus karma fire can burn away sinful karma if it can be endured, but if it cannot be endured, it will be burned to ashes, and even the true spirit cannot be retained.
However, Lingqing used the power of the spirit dragon to protect the true spirits of the ghosts, so that they could withstand the pain of being burned by karma without losing their true spirits.
Even if you can't resist it, your soul will be burned away, but you can still leave the true spirit to be reincarnated.
This was so much better than they expected.
"With the real person here, we won't be afraid of turning into ghosts in the world." Zhong Kui and Lu Zhidao said with emotion as they looked at Ling Qing.
The evil in the human heart is worse than that of ghosts, and evil ghosts with sinful karma reincarnated as humans are more likely to breed evil spirits in the heart and create even more evil karma.
After they die, they will not be willing to be reincarnated, and will continue to swallow ghosts to strengthen themselves, and then continue to do evil.
Most of the nearly ten thousand ghost kings under the Yinshan Ghost King came here this way.
But now that Ling Qing is here, not to mention taking a blow to the Yinshan Ghost King, at least it can greatly reduce the chance of such evil ghosts appearing.
"Next, Master Youlao will cleanse away the sins of the ghosts in this city." Zhong Kui bowed to Ling Qing and requested.
"It's easy to talk about." Ling Qing nodded naturally, "But.
The ghosts in this city alone are just a drop in the bucket compared to the Netherworld. Even if they all occupy the human realm, they are inconspicuous to the earthly world.
What we want to do is to ensure that all ghosts who enter reincarnation have their sins cleansed. "
"This is a bit difficult to handle." Zhong Kui and the other two were a little embarrassed after hearing this.
"Now that the Ghost King of Yinshan has taken over the underworld, that is the right path for ghosts to enter reincarnation.
He won't care much if we send these ghosts into reincarnation, but if he wants to control all the ghosts who enter reincarnation, how can he be willing? "
Although Zhong Kui often led the Yin officials to fight with the Ghost King of Yin Mountain, he did not dare to openly engage in positional warfare with him.
Doing that is simply too slow.
And if you want to cleanse all the sins of all the ghosts who enter reincarnation, you must not be able to hide them.
However, Ling Qing was not worried and just asked softly: "Pindao once heard that the Ghost King of Yinshan stopped when he reached the Reincarnation Division.
I wonder if this is the case? "
