However, at this point, it is useless to regret.
I looked around. Although there are all ancient buildings, I can still see that the ones in the east are denser, taller and more majestic.
I am now in the Hall of Judges, and the tall building in the east should be the Hall of the King of Hell, so I should do the opposite and go west.
In order to confirm, I asked Xiao Si, who knows that this guy is probably afraid of making a mistake, he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a reason, it seems that he really doesn't know.
I had no choice but to give up the inquiry and proceed according to my own ideas.
Go straight ahead along the west corridor.
The Hall of Judges is very big, but it seems that there are very few people. I didn't find anyone during the journey, not even a ghost.
There are only houses with closed doors, without a trace of movement.
The dark gray mist covered the entire sky, adding a bit of weirdness to the silence.
I don't know if it's my illusion, I obviously don't feel the existence of Yin Qi in these houses, but I always feel as if something is peeping at me through the gap in the door.
Xiao Si has never been here, so I can only be a little more careful.
However, the feeling of being peeped has not diminished, on the contrary, it has become more and more obvious, as if seeing me not responding, and becoming a little unscrupulous.
I can't find the way, which has already made me feel irritable. This feeling almost drives me crazy.
After walking for a while, I couldn't bear it any longer, and pushed open the door on the other side.
The closed door was pushed open by me, just now I felt that someone in this room was also staring at me.
But when I opened the door, there was nothing inside.
What surprised me the most was the strange layout of this room.
There is only one square room, very small, and there are no tables and chairs, but an altar is placed directly opposite the gate. The candlesticks of the altar have been covered with spider webs, and above the altar, It's a dusty painting.
This is an ink portrait painting, on which is a middle-aged man dressed as an outsider, with a chubby face and a chubby figure, looking very blessed.
I looked at the painting for a while, then scanned the room again, and I already had a vague guess in my heart.
If I'm not mistaken, the person peeping at me is hiding in the above painting.
It is not a very strange thing that ghosts are possessed in paintings.
It's just that I don't understand, this is the Hall of Judges, why these paintings are here, as if they were enshrined before.
Not only I don't understand, but Xiaosi also doesn't understand, he just told me in a low voice, be careful.
In fact, he doesn't need to say it, I know it too.
After all, the environment in which these paintings are located is a bit weird.
I walked back down the corridor and closed the door again.
The moment I walked forward, I felt the room I just came out of, and the feeling of peeping inside came again.
But instead of going back, I opened the door on one side again.
There is no difference between this room and the one just now.
Just judging from the ashes on the candlesticks, someone should have cleaned it not long ago.
And the painting in the middle of the room has also been changed.
This painting is of a woman, wearing an ancient costume, with a graceful figure, but it is a pity that only the back is painted. People can't see the woman's face.
"My lord, look."
I was about to leave, but Xiaosi reminded me in a low voice.
I was taken aback, and under Xiaosi's instructions, I saw a red embroidered shoe just under the altar.
My heart moved, and I looked towards the painting.
In the painting, a long dress in ancient costumes blocks the feet of the woman in the painting.
I sneered twice in my heart, the actions of the woman in the painting just now were not like this, and now I have confirmed that these ghosts are hiding in the painting, so as to escape my sense of Yin Qi.
"Come out and talk." I said to the painting.
There was no change in the painting. With a sneer on my face, I picked up the embroidered shoes on the ground and threw them towards the painting.
At the moment when the embroidered shoes were about to touch the painting, the embroidered shoes suddenly shrunk and disappeared into the painting.
Immediately, a sigh came out.
The woman in the painting turned her head slowly, and during the action, the embroidered shoes just now were put on on her exposed feet.
Because it is an ink painting, I can only see that the facial features of the woman in the painting are correct, but I can't see anything else.
On the screen, the woman slowly opened her mouth and said: "Little girl, Yuying, I have seen Lord Ghost King."
I smiled and asked, "Why are you in the painting?"
Maybe she had already spoken, but Yuying didn't hide anything, she just told me the whole story.
It turned out that after entering the Hall of Judges, those who had not resolved their grievances due to various reasons were entered into the painting and had an exclusive room, waiting for the judge to judge their grievances.
Yuying, on the other hand, was murdered by a fierce ghost and died of injustice.
Because the ghost was coming to the underworld for a long time to be judged, Yuying's grievances persisted and she could only wait alone in the judge's hall.
Yuying has been waiting for three hundred years, and she has not stepped out of the room for three hundred years.
To be honest, such a life like a prison made Yuying almost have the urge to commit suicide.
But, unfortunately, in the palace of judges, she can't do anything.
I wonder why the judge insisted on allowing Yuying to reincarnate after the trial.
Yuying didn't know much about this either, but Xiao Sidao spoke from hearsay.
Because the underworld's control over many ghosts has weakened, many ghosts stay in the yang world, or attach themselves to the strong in the underworld.
But this does not mean that these ghosts will not go to hell. If one day, by chance, the hell may catch those ghosts, and at this time, witnesses are needed to judge the ghosts.
After all, these ghosts are either powerful or have a background, so it is difficult to directly conduct a trial without witnesses.
I can't help but curl my lip at the way of the underworld. Because of my own incompetence, it's a bit funny to imprison these innocent souls.
If you can't catch it for a hundred years, people will not be reincarnated for a hundred years. At the end of the month, didn't Yuying stay for three hundred years
I even faintly feel that there is indeed a big problem in such a hell.
It's no wonder that several great kings of Hades have to go out of the underworld.
However, I didn't just listen to Yuying's side of the story.
After bidding farewell to Yuying, I walked through several rooms before confirming the truth with an ugly face.
My pace slowed down a lot, and I asked in a low voice: "Xiao Si, what do you think of the current Hell?"
"Very, very good."
"This is your truth."
"..."
Xiaosi was silent for a while before saying: "Actually, it's actually okay."
"A lot of people want to go back to hell, you know?"
"Yeah. I know."
Xiao Si and I both fell silent.
Many people want to go out of the underworld. Even Xiao Si, an ordinary jailer, knows about such things. It seems that the problem in the underworld is really big.
Perhaps seeing that I didn't speak, Xiao Si was a little worried and said: "Actually, my lord, those who rebel against the underworld will not succeed, and it will be very miserable."
"Oh why?"
I asked curiously, and what Xiao Si said didn't seem to refer to the ghost king's rebellion this time.
Xiaosi thought for a while and slowly said: "There is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld, no one can rebel successfully."
Ksitigarbha, I have heard of this too. It is the Bodhisattva who vowed not to become a Buddha because the hell is not empty. This time Lulu asked me to find Po Meng, and she also wanted Po Meng to inform Ksitigarbha or Empress Pingxin.
It's just that I'm curious about how powerful Ksitigarbha is, and how powerful he can deal with the rebellion of several Hades.
So I asked: "Ksitigarbha is strong?"
"Um."
Originally, I thought Xiao Si would tell me how strong Ksitigarbha was, but who knew Xiao Si changed the subject.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva listens carefully, and can monitor the world of the sun and the world of the underworld. No one dares to mess around."
I am very surprised, if Di Ting can monitor, why did King Qin Guang and others rebel, but Ksitigarbha did not respond, and I still need to find Po Meng to inform Ksitigarbha.
I was about to ask, but Xiao Si continued to speak.
"My lord, do you know that although Ksitigarbha has made a great wish that the hells are not empty and that he will never become a Buddha, he has never been to hells, no, it should be that he only stays in the dojo in the nineteen cities of hells. They, they all said that Ksitigarbha did not want to become a Buddha."
"Ah. Why?"
"Little Four doesn't know."
My heart moved, and I asked strangely: "Xiao Si, how do you know these things?"
"Yes, they told me. If Xiao Si hadn't been timid, he would have turned into ashes just like them."
Xiao Si's tone became distant.
I didn't ask who they were, presumably they must have tried to escape from the underworld.
However, I am very surprised, if what Xiaosi said is true, then why is Ksitigarbha unwilling to become a Buddha.
You must know that if Ksitigarbha does not become a Buddha, he will never be able to leave the underworld.
In other words, Ksitigarbha himself didn't want to leave the underworld.
Along the way, I didn't talk anymore. After all, these things are too far away from me. I rescued my relatives and friends.
When I walked all the way, I could hear the noise from the street outside, so I stopped and asked.
"Xiaosi, Fengdu should be outside."
"Yes, my lord, it's a pity that I didn't find a way to die."
I smiled and shook my head. If I didn't find it, I didn't find it. It's better than going around in circles in the Palace of Judges.
I shook my head, looked at the gate not far away, and the large number of guards. After walking for so long, I finally saw the ghost of the Hall of Judges again.
Xiaosi said: "My lord, we can only rush out here, but there is a lot of noise here, I'm afraid we will need to hide for a while after we go out."
"There is no other way?"
Xiao Si smiled wryly and shook his head.
I frowned, then I had no choice but to force my way in. I was about to rush out, but saw a familiar figure walk in under the escort of several erratic guards.
The man looked miserable, with handcuffs and anklets on his hands and feet, and he looked like a serious criminal.
I couldn't help being taken aback, how could he be like this.
I temporarily gave up my plan to leave, turned into a puff of black smoke, and floated on the beams of the corridor.
