Next Li Daoxuan observed that not all ghosts were escorted to one place and split into two parts midway.
Some of them were old people and children and were escorted to the east, where a ghost town could be vaguely seen.
In addition, the souls of young men and women, without exception, were all escorted to the west without any trial of good and evil, and went directly to hell.
The ghost officer first fed them a bowl of soup. They thought it was Meng Po soup, but it turned out to be sour and spicy, and they did not lose their memory after drinking it.
After drinking the soup, the ghosts drove them into hell.
A ghost protested loudly, thinking that he had done good deeds throughout his life and should not be tortured by the underworld. As a result, he was beaten dozens of times with an iron whip by the ghost and immediately became honest.
Under the torture, none of the young men and women dared to resist. They were trembling with helpless and desperate eyes.
The first level of hell is tongue pulling hell.
In the past, only those who often sow discord, slander and lie in the mortal world would enter this hell and suffer the pain of having their tongues pulled out. But now, regardless of gender, everyone has their tongues pulled out, and the scene is very bloody.
These tongues were collected and I don’t know what to do with them.
The second level is the scissors hell. The fingers of the dead souls were cut off, turning them into tongueless and handless people. They were in extreme pain, but they couldn't even scream.
The third level is the Iron Tree Hell, where the souls of the dead are stripped of their clothes and hung up to dry in the sun.
The fourth level is the Hell of Evil Mirrors, where dozens of bronze mirrors emit scorching light, roasting the bodies of the dead.
The fifth level is the Steamer Hell, and the sixth level is the Copper Pillar Hell. The red-hot copper pillars can also rotate automatically, like a barbecue grill.
…
Li Daoxuan and Lu Chunliang witnessed countless tragic scenes along the way.
Fortunately for him, Lu Chunliang's legs were already weak and he had to be supported by Li Daoxuan to walk.
"These ghosts are really beasts. Sooner or later, we must let them experience these tortures for themselves!"
As soon as Li Daoxuan finished speaking, Lu Chunliang quickly covered his mouth and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not discovered by the ghost.
"Brother, even if I beg you, let's leave quickly. We can't control these things!"
Lu Chunliang also sympathized with the plight of these dead souls, but he had to put aside his kindness. In this situation, it would be good to protect himself.
I can only move forward quickly and see if I can find a shortcut out.
He heard from his master that among the eighteen levels of hell, there is actually a balcony of return, where it is said that one can return to the earth.
The two of them continued walking forward and came to the Iceberg Hell.
There is a three-headed evil dog guarding the door of this level of hell. It is like a liger in size, with its three heads looking around, constantly patrolling, meticulously.
In the iceberg hell, Li Daoxuan saw an amazing scene.
I saw that the tongues that had been pulled out and the fingers that had been cut off were all refrigerated here.
There are also strips of meat fried in the frying pan hell, slices of meat cut in the sword mountain hell, and barbecue in the copper pillar hell...
Li Daoxuan finally understood the function of these eighteen levels of hell.
The so-called iceberg hell is actually equivalent to a huge cold room, hiding the... food of ghosts and gods!
Tongue pulling, finger cutting, steaming, grilling, frying...
The so-called eighteen levels of hell are like food cooking places where the souls of the dead are made into food, and those who cannot eat are stored in the iceberg hell.
And the bowl of sour and spicy soup that the dead souls drank before going to hell was not Meng Po soup, but the kind with seasonings to remove the fishy smell and enhance the freshness.
A chill rose behind Li Daoxuan.
The underworld has long ceased to reward good and punish evil. Instead, it has become...a kitchen for cooking dead souls!
As for the old people and children who were driven into the city, I'm afraid they were not out of charity by the ghost messengers, but had other purposes.
Perhaps in the eyes of ghosts, the souls of young men and women are the most delicious.
Looking at the mountains of "food", Li Daoxuan's eyes became more and more murderous, and the Taoist robe on his body moved without any wind.
Isn't this cannibalism in another sense?
Several ghost servants walked in. They were holding a bloody steel fork with a piece of intestine hanging from it. While laughing, they picked up their tongues and fingers and stuffed them into their mouths.
The blood burst out, but they didn't take it seriously. They ate happily and even threw a few fingers to feed the three vicious dogs.
A trace of lightning appeared in Li Daoxuan's eyes. At this moment, the anger in his heart was rising little by little, and he was ready to conquer the devil.
In Li Daoxuan's eyes, these so-called ghosts are no different from monsters, and they are even more hateful than monsters.
However, at this moment, there was a bang.
The ghost guards and the three-headed evil dog immediately changed their expressions, staring in one direction with suspicious expressions.
"who is it?"
They quietly held the steel fork next to them.
The three vicious dogs opened their blood-red pupils, sniffing the scent in the air, and walked in that direction little by little, their sharp claws scraping traces on the ice.
Lu Chunliang's face turned dark.
He had just been walking on the ice when he accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. Because he was relatively fat, he made a lot of noise.
Seeing the three-headed evil dogs and ghosts surrounding him, Lu Chunliang's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.
He jumped up, took out a blue bead from his arms, and threw it at the ghost servants.
"Brother, leave quickly!"
He shouted loudly, pulled up Li Daoxuan's sleeve, and put a talisman on him.
Maoshan Jiama Talisman, after being affixed, one can be as light as a swallow and travel three thousand miles a day!
The next moment, with a loud bang, the cyan beads erupted with streaks of thunder, causing the ghosts and the three evil dogs to tremble with electricity and emit black smoke.
"Come on, I only have one of the Five Thunder Beads, so I can only hold them back temporarily!"
Lu Chunliang shouted loudly, the thunder power of the five thunder beads was not strong, it was probably equivalent to the second-grade five thunder talisman.
Li Daoxuan's heart moved. His master told him about the Five Thunder Beads. It is said that this kind of magic weapon needs to be refined by those who practice the Five Thunder Talisman.
It is equivalent to a simplified version of the Five Thunder Talisman. It does not require mana and can be used with just one throw.
It seemed that the person who gave Lu Chunliang the Five Thunder Beads was either from Longhu Mountain or a friend of an expert in Longhu Mountain.
But Li Daoxuan had no intention of escaping. He had already made murderous intentions against these demon-like ghosts.
With the help of the cover of thunder, he quietly played a Five Thunder Talisman, which landed at the feet of those ghosts.
Knead the secret and draw the thunder!
Boom!
A thunderbolt as thick as a bucket struck down, and the bright thunder light illuminated the entire iceberg hell. The power of thunder melted the ice and shattered all monsters and demons!
After entering the Yin Shen realm, Li Daoxuan also gained a new understanding of thunder magic. His five thunder talismans were already very close to the fifth level.
Compared with this terrifying thunder, the so-called Five Thunder Beads are nothing short of trivial.
The spirits of those ghosts were instantly dispersed, leaving a large pit more than ten feet deep in the ice hell.
Only the three-headed vicious dog with tenacious vitality survived, but it was also dying. The lower half of its body disappeared, and two of the three heads were turned into coke.
It stuck out its tongue and its body was still shaking.
Li Daoxuan walked over, picked up the broken steel fork on the ground, and stabbed it hard into the eye socket.
The three vicious dogs screamed and died completely.
Li Daoxuan turned his head and praised: "Brother Lu, your beads are so powerful!"
Lu Chunliang was stunned, looking at the charred land.
How come the power of these Five Thunder Beads is so much stronger than what Master said?
…
Thank you Nanfeng for knowing my intention and giving me a reward of 100 yuan. Thank you!
