The three of them arrived at the Hall of the King of Hell. It was a gloomy and terrifying place. Civil servants and generals were standing on both sides. Qi Kong shivered for a while. He glanced at the one on the left who was the judge who rewarded the good, and on the right who was the judge who punished the evil. There were also bull-headed and horse-faced ones in the middle. It is the King of Hell.
"Qikong, above is King Cheng of Hell, please kneel down quickly." Hei Wuchang scolded.
Qi Kong knelt down on the ground with a plop, his legs became weak, thinking that during his lifetime, when he was fighting in the north and south, except for the leader, he never knelt down before anyone else! Now that people have died and turned into souls, their majesty has been completely lost. Looking at this place, they are trembling, and they no longer look like they were alive.
"The deceased minister pays homage to the King of Hell." Qi Kong said tremblingly.
Cheng Yan frowned slightly, feeling unhappy in his heart. The man below him was also a savior hero. He didn't expect that he would lose any courage after death, completely different from what he looked like in life. He slapped the table angrily and said: "Qikong, you just Are you so afraid of me?"
Qi Kong was startled and instantly paralyzed to the ground. If not for the support of ghost soldiers, he might have fainted. He did not dare to raise his head and said: "I am not afraid of the King of Hell, but I am thinking about my own sins. I killed countless people during my lifetime." , Now that the wandering spirit has entered the house, I must not be guilty of a lenient sentence, so I am timid, and I don’t know what crime I will be sentenced to!"
Cheng Yan had an expressionless face and was fair and honest. Then he asked the ghost soldiers to give him a seat. Seeing that his fear was gradually lessening and his sanity had slightly recovered, he said: "Qikong, the underworld is very fair. If you are really guilty, you should be relieved." You have the qualifications to be a human being and accept the punishment of your several lives. But if you are really not guilty, I will open a good door for you, meet the Bodhisattva, and let you be reborn in heaven and enter the realm of bliss."
Only then did Qi Kong calm down. The most frightening of the three realms is the underworld. There is no humanity here, only selflessness. Even if you fight against heaven and earth in life, you will not be able to escape the sin of doing evil after death. It is the only way for everyone. It is also a punishment that everyone must suffer.
Qi Kong said: "King of Hell, the deceased minister has been eager for quick success and instant gain in his life and has made all kinds of mistakes. But as a human being, how can he escape from intrigues, evil intentions, and conflicts in troubled times! The deceased minister may ask, this Do all these deeds count as sins?”
Cheng Yan is in charge of Jiuyou. How can he not know all the things in the three realms? He explained: "Qikong, I know you are unwilling to be wronged. Then I will tell you that eagerness for quick success and instant benefit is the heart. Winning is not the heart. Conflict in troubled times is the heart. Everyone Everyone has a heart that accepts the mission, but everyone also has a mind that is confused and unenlightened. Good and evil are driven by it, so many people cannot escape cause and effect. They are self-righteous and create countless evil karma."
Qi Kong was frightened when he heard this and said, "May I ask the King of Hell, what is the heart of the deceased minister?"
Cheng Yan looked at Cui Yang and said, "Check the book of life and death!"
Cui Yang nodded, and a golden light appeared with his hand. The book of life and death instantly unfolded, and he clicked again and wrote Qi Kong's name on it. After a while, writing appeared in the boxes, which were all the rights and wrongs Qi Kong had done during his lifetime. Another scene appeared, and those who watched it were blushing and panicked.
Cui Yang took a look at it, collected the book of life and death with a pen, and said: "King of Hell, Qi Kong's sins are serious and he should be sent to the eighteenth level of hell."
After hearing this, Qi Kong fell to the ground in fright and cried: "Master Yama, have you made a mistake? I have loved my people like my son all my life. Even though I fought on the battlefield, I killed all the enemies who invaded our borders. How could I end up on the eighteenth floor?" What about the punishment in hell?”
Cheng Yan said: "Qikong, I know your sin, and now I will show it." The evidence appeared with a wave of his hand.
If the heart is not repaying, the enemy will be destroyed; if the heart is not kind, the people will be killed.
The heart is unfavorable and the heart is full of desire to kill and surrender to the army.
An unloving heart and an insatiable heart, an unfilial heart and an unfilial heart will destroy the relatives.
Then many scenes emerged, and they were the evil things Qi Kong had done during his lifetime. He allowed his subordinates to kill people to vent his anger, allowed his subordinates to rape people's daughters, and allowed his subordinates to be greedy. The most important thing was that there was a saint who was neither angry nor angry. , for the people of the city begged to stop the killing, but Qi Kong not only refused to listen, but also killed him in the end, which immediately aroused the anger of heaven. This alone was enough to send him to the eighteenth level of hell.
Qi Kong was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and confessed: "Master Yama, I know I was wrong!"
Cheng Yan said: "Qikong, although there are intrigues and endless fights in the human world, there are also virtuous people who don't care about worldly affairs. What you have done is unacceptable by heaven. How can I, the underworld, spare you? If there is love in the underworld, then Isn't there chaos in the three realms? Come on, send Qi Kong to the eighteenth level of hell so that he can get the punishment he deserves."
"As you command!"
Black and White Wuchang grabbed Qi Kong, and in an instant he reached the eighteenth level of hell. He heard heavy sounds pouring into his heart, which frightened Qi Kong so much that he was sweating profusely. When he turned around, Black and White Wuchang disappeared.
Qi Kong bravely walked forward, and the surrounding turned into an ancient city. People were coming and going, which surprised him so much that he hurriedly walked to a stall. Hungry, he picked up the buns to eat and the wine to drink.
"I didn't expect that you can still eat steamed buns in the Eighteenth Level of Hell. There's nothing terrible about it." Qi Kong said while eating, and stuffed a few more into his mouth.
"Is it delicious?" a voice said.
Qi Kong raised his head and threw the bun in fear. Standing in front of him was a female ghost, but he saw that she had an ax on her head, a needle and thread in her belly, her blue eyes were bloodshot, her lips were black and bone, she was wearing white clothes, and her fingers were broken. My heart was stabbed, it was very scary.
puff!
When Qi Kong was frightened, his stomach also became uncomfortable, and the surroundings turned into mountains of swords and seas of fire. The buns turned out to be iron pills, the wine turned out to be iron juice, and the woman was his enemy. Everything happened during his lifetime. What he encountered, now the cycle of cause and effect, is still happening to him one after another.
When I was young and frivolous, power and beauty became the driving force for entertainment. One thought can harm a person. Looking at other people's wives will bring evil intentions, looking at the women on the street will give rise to greed, looking at one's own maid will give rise to lust. No woman can escape his grasp. , I did a lot of random things at that time, but now I have ended up like this!
Soon Qi Kong's stomach pain stopped, and many men, women, and children appeared around him, suddenly cursing at him. One man grabbed him directly, and a woman grabbed his tongue and pulled it out with force.
Qi Kong burst into tears and shouted in pain: "I was wrong."
After a while, he grew a tongue again, but everyone did not spare him. They also used various methods of punishment, including breaking his waist, putting him in a frying pan, diving into an iceberg, skinning him, rolling on an iron bed, using a copper fire pillar, etc. They were afraid of fighting him. The fear is constant.
Those who do unrighteousness will surely die, and there will be no escape from the cause and effect after death.
People in the world only know about power and profit, but there is no joy in the temptation of beauty.
The cycle of cause and effect will never fail, and greed, anger, ignorance, and doubt will never end.
The famous thief who deceives the world and deceives his descendants will suffer from diseases for three generations.
A sage can be seen from afar, right and wrong, and he knows good and evil and causes chaos.
Qi Kong shouted: "Who can save me? Who can save me?"
"Good!"
"Who are you?"
"Qikong, do you know you are wrong?"
"I was wrong, wrong!"
"Amitabha!"
"Buddha?"
"Everyone in the three realms has cause and effect. If you really know your mistakes, these criminal laws will disappear naturally."
"Wrong, I was wrong!"
"Qi Kong, take care of yourself." The voice disappeared.
"Bodhisattva?" Qi Kong shouted.
The torture continued and the screams continued. For a moment, his heart felt like a mirror, and he said angrily: "Tang Yunfeng, it turns out it's all you, everything is you." He continued to be tortured.
