Chapter 26 Inspection

While explaining, Heibai Wuchang took us to visit the entire Hall of Hell. To be honest, it is very similar to the ancient county government office, but it is relatively large and gloomy. The ghosts that are rarely seen in normal times are like ants here, and the long team of souls lined up from the gate of the Hall of Hell to the ghost fog.

The underworld is different from the human world. There is fog everywhere here. The difference is that some places are thick and some places are light. If you stretch your arms out in the thick fog area, you can’t see your hands, but the fog area can still ensure a vision range of five or six hundred meters. The fog here is also very different. Most of them are green, some places have blue, and some are blue, and a small part are black and yellow. It is said that there is also a red fog area, but it is very rare. The front of my King of Hell Hall is blue, and the visibility is only more than 300 meters. If it is far away, it will be blue.

The souls diverted from Fengdu City will directly reach the area outside the Hall of Yama through a teleportation channel. This channel is not a teleportation array, but a road. You can reach the Hall of Yama by walking along it. However, Heibai Wuchang said that this road is called the Road of No Return, and consciousness only enters and does not exit, which is a typical one-way road.

Ying asked, "You said that the road to return is one-way, so what if we need to go to Fengdu City?"

Bai Wuchang explained: "Of course we have something to cross the road without returning, and we will check it out for adults when we go to the warehouse to count items later."

"What if I don't use the time travel equipment and force it to break through?"

"We have never seen anyone break through this, but it is said that the road to return is full of fog. No matter whether you are the Daluo Golden Immortal or the Great God of Kaitian, once you are lost in the Sea of ​​Mist, you will never come up with it forever. Any props for teleportation and positioning, spells and spells will not work in the Sea of ​​Mist."

"Is it not okay to have a strong beast like the Black Kirin?"

"The black kirin can indeed break through the space and cross the eighteen levels of hell, but the Sea of ​​Mist is a special existence, which gathers the three realms and six paths at one point. No matter how you cut the space, you will eventually turn around in the Sea of ​​Mist. You will never come out."

Rose asked Bai Wuchang in surprise: "Isn't that even a first god like Nuwa can be trapped?"

"It's almost the same. Theoretically, even if the two first gods Pangu and Nuwa enter, they will never be able to come out forever! Moreover, this sea of ​​fog will gradually absorb the power of souls. After staying in it for a long time, it will become weaker and weaker. In the end, the three souls and seven spirits will be sucked away and completely disappeared into this world. However, the power of each soul is different. If we enter like this for three or five days, it will be over. A first god like Nuwa is probably going to take more than ten thousand years to exhaust it."

"What a terrifying place, it's not like the way back!"

As we were talking, we suddenly found a archway outside the hall. The archways formed a long passage. The souls who came to the Hall of Yama will be separated when they arrived here. Some of them will go directly through the archway formation and disappear, while others will continue to walk towards the Hall of Yama.

We walked to the next to this archway formation and saw two ghosts being sent into it. The two ghosts passed through the archways, but their figures became increasingly faded, and finally disappeared under the last archway. Seeing us appear, a red-robed ghost who was responsible for sorting ghosts ran over. This guy was wearing a very similar body to an ancient official. He also had a large brush in his hand, and he probably was a judge in his costume.

He ran to us and saluted immediately, and then asked Wuchang first: "Two Wuchangs, are these His Highness Yan Luo and the adults?"

Hei Wuchang immediately saluted to me: "This is His Highness Yama in this palace, this is His Highness Yama. The rest are the adults."

The ghost official immediately said: "See Queen Yan Luo, I am the No. 74 judge of this palace."

"Don't the judge be responsible for the causal cycle of the dead souls in the hall? Why did he come here?"

Judge No. 74 immediately replied: "I am the Exterior Court Officer, who is responsible for sending away the dead souls who are faked to death."

Rose fingered at the archway array: "What are these?"

"Oh, this is the Ninety-Nine Archway. It consists of ninety-nine Archways. Just walk from one end to the other and you can directly return to the Yang resurrection."

"Resurrection? That's not a zombie?"

"No." The judge quickly explained: "Sometimes some living creatures will enter a state of false death due to trauma or excessive stimulation, but sometimes they can be rescued. These lives have not yet reached the time to die, so they cannot be suppressed away. They must be sent to anti-yang as soon as possible, otherwise their bodies will die again because they have not had their souls for a long time. This archway array is the road to return to the Yang, and sometimes we go to the world to catch those fleeing ghosts and use this."

I looked at the team next to me and asked Hei Wuchang: "Why are the dead souls I see all humans? What about other creatures?"

"The souls of the dead are the original form, and human form is the original form, whether they are insects or animals. After death, they are all human souls. Some ghosts who make mistakes are reincarnated into the animal realm. Aren't their souls still humans?"

"That's right." I nodded and looked at the team on the road. The images of these dead souls are men, women, young and old, but they are all human figures. All the ghosts looked dull and lowered their heads and walked forward, and most of the expressions on their faces looked very painful. Some ghosts in the team were disgusting, and there were many people who were missing arms and legs, and some were even flat like a piece of paper, probably crushed to death by something!

"Do these ghosts look like when they die?" Rose asked Bai Wuchang.

Bai Wuchang nodded: "The soul also has memory. After a non-human creature dies, his soul will appear as he was when he was last reincarnated as a human. And the age of this image depends on the proportion of the lifespan of this creature. For example, a worm that can live for one year will die if it dies for 6 months. Then he becomes a ghost and looks like a middle-aged man. And the cause of his death will also be reflected in the soul. Look at the dead soul over there, he only has one hand. No matter what kind of creature he is, the earth soul after death must have died without a leg."

Su Mei suddenly joked and asked, "If someone is reincarnated as an earthworm, will he be a stick without limbs after he die?"

Hei Wuchang immediately pointed to the team and said, "There happens to be a ghost reincarnated from the earthworm over there."

When we saw that it was really a human stick. Below the ghost's waist was a long white mist, like a snake's tail. Moreover, he had no arms, and his whole body was a long cylinder. At first glance, he looked like a lamp god, but he had no arms.

Hongyue rubbed her arms and looked around: "Why do I feel a little cold? Didn't Taibai Jinxing say that you can keep warm by leaning against each other?"

Bai Wuchang immediately replied: "The entrance to hell is below the Hall of Yama. The cold air comes out from here, so it will be colder. Although it can be warm by the heat of the soul, it only reduces the chill. It is not that you are not afraid of the cold at all. Except for the undead, normal creatures cannot stand it here."

"Then let's go and inspect the items and leave as soon as possible." Rose also urged: "I'm a little cold too."

Because everyone could not hold it back, we had to go back to get the things first and send Rose and the others away. Rose came down to help me count the items, otherwise she would not follow me. As for inspecting the hell under the Hall of Yama, I could only wait until I got the warm jade and went to inspect it alone.

The warehouse is in the yard where we first came out. There are no thieves in this kind of place. The warehouse is open and there are not even a door panel. First, it is the storage warehouse for the Life and Death Book. This side is the entire store book of the Life and Death Book. First, we were thinking that the Life and Death Book records the birth dates and deaths of so many lives. It should be bigger than the National Library. But when we entered the warehouse, we realized that we were completely wrong. There were not even bookshelfs in the warehouse. There were six stone tables in a large room, and there was only a book with white light on each stone table. These six books were very thick and the size was about the same size as the computer host box. The cover was a kind of white metal. There were three big characters in the middle of the cover of each book - Yin and Yang Zhi. These three characters were arranged vertically, and in traditional Chinese. The words did not seem to be written, because these words were shining with gorgeous red light. If you look closely, you can find three small characters at the corner of the book, which was: "Life and Death Book."

"Why are there only these six books? And the names are so different?"

Bai Wuchang immediately said: "The Book of Life and Death is an external name. In fact, it is an additional name. The real name of the Book of Life and Death is called Yin and Yang. There are so many souls between heaven and earth, and new souls and some long-term souls will be lost from time to time. If you write it on paper, you can't put it down even if you pile up the underworld! In fact, Yin and Yang are the Book of Life and Death, which records the birth date and death of all life in the world. These six books represent the six realms respectively. The creatures on earth will be recorded as soon as they are not recorded."

"Can you remember a few words in this book?"

Hei Wuchang said: "In fact, the Book of Life and Death is not a book at all." He said, and went forward to help us open one of the Book of Life and Death. As he opened the Book of Life and Death, we suddenly realized that the Book of Life and Death only had two pages, the cover and the bottom page. Although it was so thick, it could only be opened once in the middle, and both sides were the thickness of a page. After the Life and Death side was turned on, a cloud-like picture appeared in the middle, and then a line of red characters were displayed.

Hongyue stretched out her head and read the words. "Hundred-eyed insect demon, will she die today?"

"Don't...!" Hei Wuchang wanted to stop Hongyue from coming out, but unfortunately it was too late.

"What's wrong?" Hongyue looked at him nervously.

Bai Wuchang explained: "The Book of Life and Death shows the undecided destiny, and once it is read out, it becomes a certain place. This insect demon is really unlucky and lost his life inexplicably!"

"Ah? No, right? Is this dead?"

"The King of Hell wants people to die in the third update. From the fifth update, the book of life and death is the magic weapon of the King of Hell. If you cannot be fooled by the soul, what else can you call the King of Hell?"

"This thing is so powerful, I can't have one set for each Yama Palace, right?" I am the eleventh Hall of Yama. If everyone has one set of it, it would be too valuable, right?

Bai Wuchang laughed: "Actually, you are taking advantage of it. This book of life and death is a set. The Ten Palaces of Yama will fight for it and I will not give it to anyone else. Later, the Heavenly Court gritted its teeth and took it back and was managed by the Heavenly Court. The Yama Palace sent people every day to copy the records that needed to capture the soul the next day. But this is the eleventh Hall, which belongs to the newly added Yama Palace. Compared with others, our power is the weakest, so the Heavenly Court put this on us, so no one is embarrassed to say anything. Other Yama Palaces will send ghost officials to copy the things they need every day."

"What if this thing is stolen? What if someone recites it like I did just now and recites the Jade Emperor to death?"

"That's impossible. There are so many creatures in the world. The information displayed by this book of life and death is irregular. If you want to use it to recite someone to die, you have to hold the book and wait for the name of that person to appear. If you wait until your own goal appears, the target will probably have already died. The book of life and death will only output the list of people who should die within a few days according to the Heavenly Way every day. Although the destiny of these undetermined people can be seen, the scrolling speed is too slow, and it is unlikely to find someone alone."

"I understand." Rose nodded: "Take us to see other things quickly. I feel getting colder."

"OK."

We quickly ran to the warehouse opposite. There were relatively more things here, but only a dozen pieces were sparsely. The underworld was not as poor as it was, and the warehouse was as clean as if it had just been looted by bandits. Bai Wuchang held the record book to introduce us one by one, while Hei Wuqian gave us real objects to compare. There were only a dozen pieces here, and the ones that could attract attention were a ghost-slaying sword and a soul-searing mirror, and of course the warm jade that the King of Hell must have.

The Ghost-Slaying Sword is an ordinary sword. Its only feature is that it has the effect of damage to the spirit body. Those spiritual bodies or ghosts with ineffective physical damage will be done when they encounter this sword. As for the soul search mirror, this thing can find the specific location of any soul. The disadvantage is that it does not work for souls with physical bodies. The function of warm jade is more single, which is to offset the cold air of hell.

After checking the items, I sent all the roses and the others away. Apart from wearing warmth, only ghosts can move normally.
