Outside is a separate city gate. There is a black plaque hanging above the city gate, with five large vermilion characters written on it: Eighteen Levels of Hell. For the deceased Yang Jiaren, this is his ninth stop in the underworld. The dead souls who came here understood that the eighteen levels of hell were not in the arrangement of the ten hell palaces, but in a separate place. However, the ten palaces of hell and the eighteen levels of hell are all connected internally, making it easier to escort sinful souls.
The souls of all walks of life were interrogated starting from the first hall. All guilty souls were punished according to the severity of their crimes during their lifetimes, such as mirrors, red iron pillars, grinding tables and other torture tools. The Yin soldiers in charge of these torture tools were all green-faced fangs. , many guilty souls were scared to death before they even got to the torture instruments.
The eighteen levels of hell are huge. One level of hell alone spans eight thousand miles, and each level of hell has 16 smaller hells. The screams of guilty souls being tortured can be heard everywhere in the prison, and a choking smell can be smelled. The smell of blood in the nose.
At that moment, the green-eyed Yin Chai, wearing a mask, led Yang Jiaren to the Heart-Evisceration Hell before he heard someone inside roaring in pain like a pig.
After entering the Heart-Eviscerating Hell, I saw a dwarf sinner being tortured. Several Yin soldiers captured him, and one of them was slashing his chest with a sharp knife, grinning and gouging out a bloody heart. The guilty soul of the dwarf passed out.
Yang Jiaren saw that the heart was black, so he asked what was the reason for the difference in green eyes that turned a red heart into a black heart. The green-eyed Yin Chai replied, this dwarf guilty soul is the dog that can harm you again and again. Because of his evil heart, his red heart turned into a black heart. He deserved it when he was captured by the Yin soldiers and had his heart cut out.
Yang Jiaren was quite uneasy. He had heard that Gouneng was actually his great-grandfather. When the dog could be recited by the Yin soldiers and come back to life, he knelt in front of several Yin soldiers and begged not to torture him again. He was my great-grandfather. Although he had harmed me and ruined my career, he also It was extenuating, and I really forgave him.
Then, Yang Jiaren looked at the disheveled Gouneng and said, Great-grandfather, it was my fault. I am sorry for you and let you suffer in hell. When Gouneng saw his great-grandson Yang Jiaren, he admitted his mistake. He was deeply moved and said with tears, "Good great-grandson, it's obviously my fault. I'm sorry for you. It's me who ruined your future. I deserve to die. Don't pity me." , I apologize to you in person now. I shouldn’t have done anything bad to hinder your career. Now that you are in this situation, you will suffer the consequences.
When the Yin soldiers saw Yang Jiaren kneeling and begging, Gou Neng showed remorse, so they spared him the torture of cutting out his heart again. At this time, Yang Jiaren called his great-grandfather to Gouneng again, then stood up and followed the green eyes to leave this heart-cutting hell.
It was impossible for the green-eyed Yincha to lead Yang Jiaren to see all 648 hells, large and small, so he only selectively allowed him to visit the city-within-a-city that ranked among the eighteenth level of hell, such as the City of Death and Yinling City. He also took him to the Black Rope Fire Hell, the Great Calling Hell, and the Abi Hell to witness the tragic scenes of those sinful souls who had done evil during their lifetimes being tortured.
What impressed Yang Jiaren the most was observing the pool of blood in hell. He found an unkempt pregnant woman being held on her head by two ugly yakshas all covered in black and drinking the filthy blood. He closed his eyes and looked away, feeling scared. . The green-eyed Yin Chai said, I specially brought you to see how the sinful souls in hell are suffering. How can you close your eyes?
Yang Jiaren quickly let go of his hand and found an excuse to say, Officer Yin, I not only touched my eyes but also my nose. The smell of this stinky blood and water is really unpleasant. I have seen it clearly. I don’t understand what crime the mother has committed. Drink this blood water.
The green-eyed man touched the mask he wore on his face and thought: The smell is really unpleasant, so he won't pursue it. Let me explain the situation, Jia Ren, because the pregnant woman committed a crime in the upper world, she was thrown into the blood pool of hell and drank the blood water. Although you are not a guilty soul, you are not a hero, and you are not much stronger than her. She drank so much blood water, you Can't stand the smell of blood and water? Let me tell you, as long as I speak, those two yakshas will release the pregnant woman and press you into the blood pool to drink the blood water.
No, no, I won't touch my mouth anymore, I will just smell the unpleasant smell of blood and water, and feel the pain of hell. If I have the opportunity, I can also dream of my family members in the world of the world, so that they will not do bad things and do more good things when they are alive. Good thing, lest you die and be punished in hell. Yang Jiaren said so. The green-eyed man smiled sinisterly, "I'm just trying to scare you. When the King of Hell tried you, he didn't make a decision, so he didn't impose any punishment. How could I dare to abuse you casually?"
Yang Jiaren's face turned pale with fright at first. Knowing that the green-eyed Yin Cha was a joke, he felt much calmer and even called Yin Cha Guan several times in a coy tone, "I listen to you."
The two Yakshas were still pressing the mother to drink the blood water. The mother was crying while drinking, and drank very slowly. The green-eyed Yin Chai walked over to plead with the two Yakshas on her behalf, just you two! It would be pitiful to let her rest. The two yakshas let go of their hands, and one of them, the long-nosed yaksha, snorted, looked at the green-eyed Yincha and asked, "What is your relationship with this pregnant woman?" And interceded for her.
I have nothing to do with her. The green-eyed Yin Chai pointed at Yang Jiaren and said, This is the new dead soul from the Yang world. I want the pregnant woman to take this opportunity to tell him why she was sent to the blood pool hell and was punished to drink this smelly blood water. Let this new dead soul receive the traditional ethical education of Hades. It is also a good idea to tell living relatives through dreams or prayers what things can and cannot be done in the human world, what things are sinful and what are not sinful.
A short-nosed Yaksha said yes, he would let the mother-in-law talk about it, and he could also remove some of her sins.
At this moment, the mother-in-law, whose face was full of tears, was sitting by the pool of blood, slightly combing her messy hair that hung down her shoulders, revealing a handsome oval face. It was obvious that she was a seductive beauty in the Yang world. Why did I end up in this situation? I still have to listen to her explain it slowly——
My name is Xia Meigui, and I gave birth to four daughters in this life. Because the last baby girl had a difficult delivery and suffered excessive bleeding, the hospital failed to rescue her, so I died and became what is commonly called a childbirth ghost.
I was 45 years old when I died, which is only considered middle-aged. I was tricked into taking my soul to the underworld to be judged in the Palace of Hell. Only then did I realize that I should not have died so early. I was not even in my 60s. It turned out that I had committed an unforgivable crime.
There is an earth temple in a low place not far from my house. Every time I give birth to a child, I splash the sewage water and even the smelly blood water used to wash my body into the ditch in front of the house. The unclean things flow into the ditch. If you go to the Earth Temple and offend the Earth God, the Earth God will tolerate it.
Once, the Earth God met the Bridge God on an arch bridge in the garden and said that he was envious of a pool of clear water under the arch bridge. The Bridge God sighed and replied that the water here was no longer clean. Not long ago, a woman named Xia Meigui passed by this arch bridge carrying a buckwheat basket. She saw a little boy playing on the arch bridge. She unexpectedly kicked him away, and the boy was thrown into the deep pool under the bridge and drowned.
The God of Earth asked the God of Bridge why Xia Meigui killed the little boy, and the answer was that she was jealous that others only gave birth to boys while she always gave birth to girls. The God of the Land used the topic to talk about my bad deeds of throwing sewage randomly, and then wrote a memorial to Hades, who then sent a messenger to create obstacles when I gave birth to my fourth baby girl, causing me to die of dystocia.
My crime deserves death, the King of Hell said. After verification by the Earth Temple, I gave birth to three baby girls. A total of a ton and a half of blood and sewage were splashed in places that should not be splashed. Now they have thrown me into the blood pool hell to drink. It took a ton and a half of blood to release me, and I was sent to another hell to be tortured, because I still owed a life and had to endure even more brutal torture. After my sentence was over, I was reincarnated again. I still couldn't keep my human body, and I might turn into a pig. It’s hard to tell whether a dog turns into a chicken or a duck.
When Xia Meigui said this, she covered her face and cried. The long-nosed Yaksha shouted, "Why are you crying?" You have been in the blood pool hell for half a month, and you have not finished drinking fifty kilograms. Then you drink one and a half tons of blood water, and you will not be released from prison until you finish drinking one and a half tons of blood water.
