Chapter 207: The Eighteen Levels of Hell, Ghost Messenger Struck by Lightning!
Next, Li Daoxuan observed that not all ghosts were escorted to one place, but were divided into two parts halfway.
Some of them, including the elderly and children, were taken to the east, where a ghost town could be vaguely seen.
In addition, the souls of young men and women were all escorted to the west without exception, without undergoing any judgment of good and evil, and went directly to the front of hell.
The ghost first fed them a bowl of soup. They thought it was Meng Po soup, but it turned out to be sour and spicy. They did not lose their memory after drinking it.
After drinking the soup, the ghost drove them into hell.
Some ghosts protested loudly, thinking that they had done good deeds throughout their lives and should not be tortured in the underworld. However, after being whipped dozens of times by the ghost catcher with an iron whip, they immediately became obedient.
Under the torture, the young men and women dared not resist. They trembled in fear, with helpless and desperate looks in their eyes.
The first level of hell is the hell of tongue pulling.
In the past, only those who often sowed discord, slandered and told lies in the mortal world would go to this hell and suffer the pain of having their tongues pulled out. But now, regardless of gender, everyone's tongues were pulled out, and the scene was extremely bloody.
These tongues were collected and no one knew what they were used for.
The second layer is the Scissors Hell, where the fingers of the dead souls are cut off, leaving them tongueless and handless. They are in extreme pain, but cannot even scream.
The third layer is the Iron Tree Hell, where the dead souls are stripped of their clothes and hung up to dry in the sun.
The fourth layer is the Hell of Mirrors of Sin, where dozens of bronze mirrors emit scorching light, baking the bodies of the dead souls.
The fifth layer is the Steamer Hell, and the sixth layer is the Copper Pillar Hell. The red-hot copper pillars rotate automatically, like a barbecue grill.
…
Li Daoxuan and Lu Chunliang witnessed countless tragic scenes along the way.
He was fine, but Lu Chunliang's legs were weak and he had to be supported by Li Daoxuan to walk.
"These ghost officials are really beasts. Sooner or later, they will experience these tortures themselves !"
As soon as Li Daoxuan finished speaking, Lu Chunliang quickly covered his mouth. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not discovered by the ghost catcher.
"Brother, even if I beg you, let's go quickly. We can't control these things!"
Lu Chunliang felt very sympathetic towards the plight of these dead souls, but he had to put aside his kindness. In the current situation, it was good enough that he could protect himself.
I can only move forward quickly and see if I can find a shortcut out.
He had heard from his master that in the eighteen levels of hell, there was actually a balcony hidden, from which it was said that one could return to the world of the living.
The two continued to move forward and came to the iceberg hell.
The gate to this level of hell is guarded by a three-headed vicious dog. Its body is as big as a lion or tiger, and its three heads look around, constantly patrolling meticulously.
In the iceberg hell, Li Daoxuan saw an astonishing scene.
I saw that all the tongues that had been pulled out and the fingers that had been cut off were frozen here.
There are also meat strips fried in the oil pan hell, sliced meat in the knife mountain hell, and barbecued meat in the copper pillar hell...
Li Daoxuan finally understood the function of the eighteen levels of hell.
The so-called iceberg hell is actually equivalent to a huge cold storage room, hiding the ghosts and gods'...food!
Tongue pulling, finger trimming, steaming, grilling, frying...
The so-called eighteen levels of hell are like food cooking places, where the dead souls are made into food, and those that cannot be eaten are stored in the iceberg hell.
The bowl of sour and spicy soup that the dead souls drink before going to hell is not Meng Po soup, but a seasoning to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.
A chill rose behind Li Daoxuan.
The underworld is no longer a place of underworld that rewards the good and punishes the evil, but has become... a kitchen for cooking the souls of the dead!
As for the elderly and children who were driven into the city, it was probably not because the ghost officials were kind-hearted, but because they had other purposes.
Perhaps in the eyes of the ghost, the souls of young men and women are the most delicious.
Looking at the mountains of "food", the murderous intent in Li Daoxuan's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and his Taoist robe fluttered without wind.
Isn’t this just cannibalism in another sense?
Several ghost officials came in, holding bloody steel forks with a piece of intestine hanging from them. They laughed and stuffed their tongues and fingers into their mouths.
Blood spurted out, but they didn't care. They ate happily and even threw a few fingers to feed the three vicious dogs.
A hint 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 take action to subdue the demon.
In Li Daoxuan's eyes, these so-called ghost messengers are no different from demons, and they are even more hateful than demons.
However, at this moment, a loud bang was heard.
The expressions of the ghost officials and the three-headed vicious dog immediately changed drastically. They stared in one direction with suspicious looks.
"Who is it?"
They quietly grasped the steel forks beside them.
The three vicious dogs opened their blood-red pupils, sniffed the scent in the air, and walked towards that direction little by little. Their sharp claws left traces on the ice .
Lu Chunliang's face turned black.
He was walking on the ice just now and accidentally slipped and fell to the ground. Because he was fat, the noise he made was quite loud.
Seeing the three evil dogs and the ghost officials surrounding him, a hint of cruelty flashed in Lu Chunliang's eyes.
He jumped up, took out a green bead from his arms and threw it at the ghost officials.
"Brother, hurry up!"
He shouted loudly, pulled up Li Daoxuan's sleeve, and pasted a talisman on him.
The Maoshan Armor Horse Talisman, after sticking it on, you can be as light as a swallow and travel three thousand miles a day!
The next moment, with a loud bang, the green bead burst out with lightning, which electrocuted the ghost officials and the three evil dogs, causing them to tremble all over and emit black smoke.
"Hurry up, I only have one Five Thunder Bead, I can only hold them back temporarily!"
Lu Chunliang shouted loudly, the thunder power of the Five Thunder Pearl was not strong, probably equivalent to the level of a second-grade Five Thunder Talisman.
Li Daoxuan's heart moved. His master had told him about the Five Thunder Beads. It was said that this kind of magical instrument could only be refined by someone who practiced 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 just by throwing it.
It seems that the person who gave the Five Thunder Beads to Lu Chunliang was either from Longhu Mountain or a friend of a master in Longhu Mountain.
But Li Daoxuan did not intend to escape. He had already developed murderous intentions towards these demon-like ghost officials.
With the cover of lightning, he calmly cast a five-thunder talisman, which fell at the feet of the ghost officials.
Make a hand gesture to attract thunder!
Boom!
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down, and the dazzling lightning illuminated the entire iceberg hell. The extremely strong and masculine power of thunder melted the ice and smashed all the evil spirits to pieces!
After entering the Yin Shen Realm, Li Daoxuan also gained new insights into thunder magic, and his Five Thunder Talismans were already very close to the fifth grade.
Compared with this terrifying thunder, the so-called five thunder beads are nothing but a small matter.
Those ghost officials were scared to death in an instant, leaving behind a pit more than ten feet in size in the icy 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 its three heads turned into charcoal.
It stuck out its tongue and its body continued to tremble.
Li Daoxuan walked over, picked up the broken steel fork on the ground, and stabbed it into its eye socket.
The three vicious dogs screamed and died completely.
Li Daoxuan turned his head and exclaimed: "Brother Lu, your bead is really powerful!"
Lu Chunliang stared at the charred ground in amazement.
How come the power of these Five Thunder Beads is so much stronger than what Master said?
