Taboos in the Underworld: Starting from being paid a lot of money to beg for a child

Hearing Xiang Feilong say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and followed him quickly through this hell of a frying pan, and came to a hilltop full of blades. The mountains were full of ghosts. They could not move even an inch on it, and some were directly penetrated by sharp knives. The soul body was nailed to the mountain of swords.

Compared with the previous oil pot hell, this place seems to be much calmer. There are not so many wailing sounds, but only low moans one after another.

Quickly passing through the Knife Mountain Hell, what you see is countless small, square houses. The houses have no doors or windows and look like black boxes.

After walking for less than five minutes, Xiang Feilong stopped in front of a small house and said, "Yu Bingqing is right here."

I looked at this dark house with no doors or windows. I didn't know how to get in. I was about to ask a question. Xiang Feilong waved his hand, and the black wall in front of us slowly turned transparent.

The room was empty. Yu Bingqing was in the middle of the room. Four dark iron chains locked Yu Bingqing's limbs tightly from four directions. Those iron chains were not wrapped around her limbs, but penetrated directly through her wrists and ankles. At the connection between the iron chains and her limbs, bright red blood soaked her clothes.

Yu Bingqing's disheveled hair was lowered, motionless, and no fluctuations could be seen in her soul. The picturesque light green skirt also lost any vitality, hanging down like a fallen willow.

"Sister Yu!" I clenched my fist and punched the wall that had become transparent.

The wall didn't react at all, not even a sound came out.

"Why do you do this to her?" I turned to look at Xiang Feilong and asked.

Xiang Feilong said calmly: "Yu Bingqing refused to cooperate and even wanted to commit suicide, so I could only lock her with a soul-locking chain. You can't break this wall. There is no access talisman for this place, even if it is stronger than the original one You have no way to get in."

"How can I get in?" I stared at Yu Bingqing and asked coldly.

Xiang Feilong said: "After you meet the judge and you voluntarily give Yu Bingqing's soul-nurturing yin energy, you will naturally be let in to meet and talk with her."

"Okay." I agreed without thinking, "Take me to see the judge."

Xiang Feilong smiled and nodded, casually drew a passage and said, "You made the first correct choice. I hope your next choices will be correct."

I forced a smile. It seemed that I had no choice. The moment I saw Yu Bingqing, I knew that I could no longer follow my temper. There was only one thought in my mind, and that was to save her from the current sea of ​​suffering.

Tiedan was returned to Huangquan Road. His strength seemed to be the strongest among the Underworld Devourers. I knew very well that this was not an extrajudicial favor from the underworld. The fate waiting for him would be the same as that of Xue Xie and An Hai. Next time In the cleanup activities of the underworld, he is the first person to be eliminated. Unless he chooses to take away someone else's path to reincarnation, but according to Tiedan's character, he will never go to reincarnation alone.

"Let's go, Brother Feilong." I glanced at Yu Bingqing and said impatiently.

Xiang Feilong grabbed my shoulders and led me into the black passage.

This passage leads to the city wall of Fengdu City. After coming out, Xiang Feilong did not take me into the golden gate that I often entered before, but walked straight towards the jade gate.

There was still a long line outside the Jade Gate, with countless ghosts waiting to be judged by the underworld. I did not line up, but followed Xiang Feilong and walked directly in. With Xiang Feilong there, the guard at the door didn't even look at me.

After entering, Xiang Feilong did not take me into any of the Yama Halls. Instead, he turned into a small path. At the end of the small path, there was a fixed black mist passage. This passage was similar to the passage in the room in front of the memorial archway of Ghost Realm Fort.

That passage leads to a large trial pavilion, which is divided into many small compartments, just like private rooms in a hotel. This place is a little weird, and there are a lot of ghosts coming and going, but it's quiet here.

When walking through those small cubicles, you can also see some judges judging the ghosts, with extremely serious expressions, but you can't hear any sounds.

Xiang Feilong calmly led me to a cubicle that looked slightly larger. He pointed inside with a smile and motioned for me to enter.

I nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Feilong." But as soon as the voice came out, it seemed to be swallowed up by the surrounding space, and even I couldn't hear it.

I shook my head helplessly, turned around and walked into the trial cubicle.

After entering, a black-faced judge sat behind the silver desk opposite with an expressionless expression. He looked at me and said, "You are finally here."

"Greetings to the judge. From the tone of the judge, it seems that he has been waiting for me for a long time." I said respectfully.

The judge nodded, opened the file on the desk and said, "Liu Die had great merits during his lifetime. After his death, he made great contributions to quelling the chaos. His merits were perfect. He was supposed to stay in the underworld as a servant, but he suddenly rebelled against the underworld because of his messy emotions. ..”

"Sorry to interrupt, what do you mean by messy emotions?" I said in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

The judge frowned and said: "All the seven emotions and six desires in the world should not be brought to the underworld."

"Haha, what should I bring to the underworld?" I continued to ask.

"Merits and blessings." The judge glared at me fiercely, as if he was dissatisfied with me for interrupting him.

I didn't speak again or refute, but looked at the judge calmly, waiting for his announcement.

"Because the messy emotions suddenly rebelled against the underworld and fled back to the human world, all the merits and virtues of consummation disappeared, and then injured the chasing Yinsha, adding great karma, and then broke up the five Yinsha, and the karma..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Judge, these things you are talking about seem to be the same thing. You can just say that you rebelled against the underworld, and all your merits will be lost. And I have a question, why am I still being punished when I break up the evil deeds?" I said. The judge's reading was interrupted again.

The judge looked away from the file and said, "Can you listen to me and then ask questions after I read it out? Naturally, the underworld has rules for counting merits, and it is not your turn to question it."

I laughed and said nothing.

The judge continued: "I remember that the five evil spirits are all guilty of sin, so if the underworld uses your hands to get rid of them, it can eliminate some of the karma..."

"Your Majesty, just pronounce the verdict." I kept Yu Bingqing in mind because I couldn't listen to these back and forth calculations of merit and karma.

The judge glanced at me, smiled unexpectedly and said, "In this case, I have saved a lot of trouble, because according to the rules, there are many details of merits and karma that need to be verified with you later."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Judge. You can just pronounce the sentence." I said with a smile.

The judge nodded and said: "The choice now lies with you. You possess the soul-nurturing yin energy of the female ghost Yu Bingqing. If you hand it over voluntarily, all your karma will be eliminated and you can still be reincarnated as a human in the next life."

"Your Majesty, what if I don't hand it over voluntarily in the end?" I asked.

The Lord Judge chuckled, "If you are unwilling to hand it over in the end, the consequences will be serious."

"What consequences?"

"If you are unwilling to hand it over, based on your current karma, you will be a beast forever. The two ghosts you care about most will also be implicated. Yu Bingqing will lose his value and be imprisoned by the underworld forever until his soul is gone. As for Tiedan, he is now He is the leader of the Underworld Devouring Ghosts on the Underworld Road. The next time the Underworld Road is cleared, his soul will be scattered and die to quell the chaos." The judge said coldly.

Looking at the judge's expression, I became silent. I knew about Tiedan, but I never expected that Yu Bingqing would end up like this. Eh? No, this judge seems to be trying to frame me. Even if Tiedan calls out Yu Bingqing’s soul-nurturing Yin Qi, it seems that his fate is already a foregone conclusion, but the judge specifically said it. Could it be that Tiedan’s fate will change?

"Your Majesty, do I have any other choice besides reincarnation as a human being?" I asked quickly.

The judge chuckled and said: "You are very clever, because you have violated the destiny arranged for you by the underworld, so your future path can be adjusted. As long as you are willing to hand over the soul-nurturing Yin Qi, you can give me your request , as long as it’s not too much, I can help you apply and see if it can be approved. But I want to remind you that all of this is based on the smooth progress of Yu Bingqing’s three catastrophes. If Yu Bingqing’s raising Soul Yin Qi cannot be perfected, everything is an illusion."

"I'm going to go and it's like buying vegetables at the vegetable market and still bargaining." I muttered in my heart and began to fall into deep thought.
