"Hurry up!" Tang Mingli yelled, and after letting all three of us in, he got in, and then pressed hard on the wall. on the stone wall.
We kept going along this narrow path, and we didn't know how long we ran. Tang Mingli pressed on the stone wall, and the stone cracked. We got out again, and heard a heart-piercing scream.
In front of him, a ghost was tied to a wooden stake, and a ferocious little ghost was grabbing his feet, and was pulling out his nails with iron pliers. Seven of the ten toenails had been pulled out, and his feet were bloody and bloody. It hurts.
Hearing the movement, the kid turned around in surprise, and shouted: "What are you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was punched in the face by Tang Mingli and passed out directly.
Bai Ningqing looked at the tortured ghost in disgust, and covered his face with a fan, only to find that the bloody hands and feet of the ghost had grown nails again.
"It's nail-pulling hell," I said. "The nails on their hands and toes will soon grow back, and then they'll be pulled out again, and the cycle will continue until the end of the sentence."
Bai Ningqing frowned: "No wonder so many people advocate cultivating immortals. After becoming immortals, they can jump out of the Three Realms and not belong to the Five Elements, so they don't have to suffer in this hell."
Tang Mingli said: "Stop expressing emotion, let's go."
This is the site of Emperor Song of Yan Luo, the third hall. Legend has it that Emperor Song was benevolent and filial, with a pure heart, but he hated evil like a vengeful man, and was as upright as Bao Zheng, king of Yan Luo.
We passed the third hall, passed the fourth hall smoothly, and finally came to the site of King Yama of the fifth hall.
At this time, batch after batch of ghosts were sent, and Yama would arrange which hell to enter.
Bai Ningqing asked: "How do you plan to meet Master Bao?"
"Isn't that simple?" I tidied up my clothes, ran a few steps, rushed to the front of the hall, and shouted loudly, "Master Qingtian, I have been wronged!"
The three big men all had black lines all over their heads, and they thought to themselves: Have you watched too many costume dramas
At this time, there was a scolding voice from the hall: "Who is calling for injustice outside?"
I immediately ran a few steps and came to the front of the main hall. The two little devil guards at the door stretched out their tridents and pointed them in front of me. Another voice from inside said, "Let her in!"
The two little devils got out of the way, I walked in quickly, bowed down and saluted, and said, "Master Bao, I am the one who complained."
King Yama said, "Why don't you kneel?"
I said, "I'm afraid your chair legs are not very strong."
Yan Luowang frowned, I took the opportunity to take a sneak peek, today I finally saw Bao Qingtian's true appearance, as expected in the legend, his complexion was dark, and there was a crescent-shaped scar on his forehead, but it was not as bad as imagined. Fat, but still quite thin.
"Presumptuous!" King Yan Luo shouted angrily, "Quickly kneel down!"
I had to kneel down, but there was a click, and the old man's chair was really broken.
Yan Luo Wang stood up, frowning even tighter, as if thinking of something, he waved someone to change a chair, and said: "This hall allows you not to kneel, what grievances you have, please tell me."
I cupped my hands and said loudly, "His Royal Highness Yama, I am a living person. I entered the underworld this time to complain for my brother."
Yan Luowang said coldly: "The living are not allowed to enter the underworld. If you have no grievances, I will definitely punish you severely."
I said: "My younger brother, Dou Lin, is only ten years old. He is a second-level supernatural being. Before his lifespan is reached, his soul is taken away by ghost messengers, and his life is given to others. This behavior is heinous. I also ask His Royal Highness Yama to help me." call the shots!"
King Yan Luo's face darkened, and he said: "It seems that the person you want to sue is this hall."
"No, Your Highness, you were only deceived by others and lent the soul-locking mirror given by Emperor Dongyue to others. The person who borrowed the soul-locking mirror from you is the culprit." I said hastily.
King Yan Luo patted the gavel, and said loudly: "You are a mere mortal, and you actually sued Yama of the Underworld, do you know the consequences?"
"I know." I said righteously, "but in order to avenge my brother, I am willing to accept any punishment."
I paused, and said: "Besides, His Highness Yama has a reputation for justice, both in front of him and behind him. I believe His Highness will give me justice."
I have been with Tang Mingli for a month, and I have learned some speaking skills. The fair and strict Bao Zheng does not have money, but he must protect his reputation extremely. If my brother is really wronged and he is involved in it, it will be a painstaking effort. The reputation of thousands of years was completely ruined.
Reputation is difficult to build, but very easy to destroy.
That's why we dared to seek justice, knowing that he would not ignore it.
Yama's face darkened, and he said, "If this happens, I will definitely avenge you!"
After finishing speaking, he said to the master next to him: "Mr. Li, please go and invite King Chujiang for a walk."
I was a little disappointed, it turned out that it was not the famous Gongsun Ce—Mr. Gongsun.
King Yama looked at me and said, "You didn't come alone, did you? Call all your companions in and confront them face to face."
Before they finished speaking, the three of Tang Mingli walked in quickly, cupped their hands at King Yama, and said, "I have seen King Yama."
With my lessons learned, King Yama did not make them kneel down. When he saw Tang Mingli, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Who is next? Tell me your name."
"I'm next to Tang Mingli." He said every single word.
King Yama stared at him for a while and was silent, as if he was thinking about something. Not long after, King Chujiang strode in. King Yama stood up to greet him and said, "Come on, sir."
Two ghost messengers came up with chairs, King Chujiang sat down, his eyes swept over Tang Mingli, and suddenly he smiled meaningfully.
King Yan Luo said: "King Chu Jiang, these people sue you for taking the life of a living person and passing it on to someone whose life is near. Is there such a thing?"
King Chu Jiang said coldly: "There is nothing wrong with that. The child named Dou Lin is about to live, and the ghosts sent him to arrest him, but they stopped him violently. Now he comes to your palace to make a false accusation against me. Please deal with it fairly." .”
King Yan Luo looked at us and said, "Is there such a thing?"
I said: "The king of Chujiang said that Dou Lin's life is approaching, it's simple, just take out the book of life and death and have a look, you know."
Yan Luowang said: "King Chujiang, what do you think?"
King Chujiang sneered and said, "This is easier. Come, bring me the book of life and death."
Before the words were finished, King Chujiang's master brought up a book of life and death and handed it over to King Yan Luo. King Yama opened it and examined it carefully, and then said angrily, "How dare you make a false accusation against King Chujiang!"
He threw the book of life and death in front of me and said: "Dou Lin, a man from the capital, was born on November 5th, Dinghai Year, and died on March 16th, Dingyou Year, at the age of ten."
I was suddenly startled, picked it up and looked it up, but Tang Mingli took it over, and it was clearly written that he died on March 16th, Dingyou Year.
His brows were deeply frowned, and even I was a little shaken. Could it be that we made a mistake, and little brother Dou Lin is really doomed to live only ten years old
King Yan Luo said angrily, "What else do you have to say?"
We looked at each other, unable to speak, King Yama slapped the gavel and said loudly: "You broke into the underworld privately and falsely accused the King of Chujiang. There is no pardon for your crime. You will be thrown into the Little Hell of Ice and will be tortured for a hundred years." Bone-biting ice punishment!"
After that, he waved his hand and said, "Take them down!"
With a somewhat smug smile on his face, King Chu Jiang looked at Tang Mingli with a very meaningful look.
Gao Han's face was gloomy, the black wings on his back spread out suddenly, and the folding fan in Bai Ningqing's hand also spread out. I clenched my fists and could summon the flying sword at any time.
Jiu Lingzi also angrily said in my earphone: "This king of Chujiang is so courageous, he dared to change the book of life and death without permission! This is a serious crime! No, I'm going to help the girl. When I see injustice, I will draw my sword to help, even if there is trouble. In front of the Jade Emperor, I also have something to say."
Fairy Yunxia hurriedly persuaded: "Jiulingzi, don't get excited, maybe there will be a turning point."
At this time, someone outside the house sang loudly: "Emperor Dongyue is here!"
Everyone was startled, especially King Chu Jiang, who jumped up from his chair in shock, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
