Chapter 3

This is the Ice Hell of King Chujiang. According to legend, before entering the Ice Hell, all the dead souls must pass through the stripping pavilion, where the strippers will strip off their clothes, which represents that everything in the world of the living has been cleared. The severity of the sins will be determined by the weight of the clothes.

King Chujiang stretched out his hand and waved lightly, and a scale appeared out of thin air in front of me.

My soul left my body uncontrollably, and I saw my body standing still, but I had automatically flown onto the scale.

At this time, a strange thing happened. The scale did not respond at all.

This wasn't King Chujiang's cheating; he didn't weigh my clothes. A person's sins in the mortal realm remain on their souls, and weighing their souls directly is more accurate than weighing their clothes.

"Huh?" King Chujiang and a group of ghost officials looked at Zuinencheng in surprise.

"Not a cent at all." said King Chujiang.

We all know about the scales on the market. When you put something in the tray, the scale bar will rise high.

Now my soul is standing on the scale, but the bar doesn't move at all.

This means that I have never hurt anyone, committed adultery, theft, or murder, nor have I committed any fraud.

Don’t think this is simple. When they are young and ignorant, many children will lie unconsciously. Even so, they will be punished.

King Chujiang waved his hand again, and my soul quickly flew back into my body, and the scale of sin was put back into his sleeve.

He looked at me with a smile and said, "Not bad, let's go to the next hall!"

The third hall is called "Black Rope Hell". The king of this hall is Emperor Song. He is very majestic.

They were specifically responsible for judging those who disobeyed their superiors, instigated lawsuits, and broke their promises. They would impose punishments such as hanging upside down and gouging out their eyes.

Emperor Song, whose original name was Yu Qin, was from Jiangxi Province. He was an honest and diligent official, compassionate to the people, and deeply respected by the people. Because of his justice and strictness during his lifetime, punishing evil and promoting good, he was posthumously appointed as the King of Hell in the Third Palace by the Jade Emperor.

It is said that he was a hard worker since childhood and used a shepherd boy's one-legged stool as a seat. This stool was supported by only one leg, making it difficult to maintain balance when sitting. Whenever he dozed off or moved his body, the stool would immediately fall over and wake him up.

He opened the file in his hand, and a person's life, no matter how big or small, was recorded in the book.

"The little girl from the ghost clan is quite kind-hearted." Emperor Song said.

Disobeying elders, instigating lawsuits, and breaking one's promises—these three things have nothing to do with me. My parents left me when I was very young, and my grandfather and I were inseparable. I considered him my support, so I never contradicted him.

As for instigating litigation, that is a matter for lawyers and judges and has nothing to do with me.

Not to mention betrayal, I have always done what I said and have never abandoned my friends.

So I passed this level without any suspense.

As for the fourth hall, it had nothing to do with me, so I quickly reached the fifth hall.

The Yama King of the Fifth Hall is none other than the renowned Bao Zheng, who was originally the Lord of the First Hall but was demoted due to his compassion for the wronged souls.

People say Bao Zheng was fair and strict, but in fact he was very kind. When he saw the poor people, he would feel sympathy.

There is a famous Wangxiang Tower here. When the dead soul stands on the Wangxiang Tower, all the good deeds and sins of the previous life will emerge one by one.

I looked at this legendary figure with curiosity. He had a white face and no moon on his forehead. It seemed that the rumors were wrong.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Guards escorted me up to the Wangxiang Terrace, and everything I had done from childhood to the present day appeared in the air one by one.

Now everyone has seen my life story. Although I am not a very good person, I have never done evil.

I passed through the first five halls of the underworld without being punished at all.

King Yama said, "Send him directly to the Tenth Palace!"

I immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him three times.

"Thank you, Lord Yama!" I said excitedly.

The Tenth Hall is no longer a hall of punishment, but a place where people are assigned reincarnations based on the crimes committed in the previous nine halls.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons escorted me all the way to the Tenth Palace.

The Wheel King had long heard that someone had come from the underworld to break through the gates of hell, and he knew it was me, but he didn't expect that I would pass the first nine halls so quickly.

"Your Excellency, King Yama has instructed me to bring this man directly to you. Please record this."

"Oh? Bao Zheng is also trying to curry favor with others? It seems that this girl is not simple." said the Wheel King.

"Your Excellency, she is a descendant of the ghost clan, and you also know about that matter." Niu Tou said.

"No wonder!" The Chakravartin smiled at me.

"It is Lord Yama who has mercy on me." I bowed to the Chakravartin.

"Then you can go to Liuqiao," he said.

We have all heard of Naihe Bridge, but it is actually just one of the six bridges. There are also five other bridges: gold, silver, jade, stone, and wood.

The gold, silver and jade bridges correspond to those with great blessings, while the stone, wooden and Naihe bridges punish the evildoers.

When I stood in front of the Naihe Bridge, a lot of white light emanated from my body and turned into a bridge that spanned the two sides of the Wangchuan River. These were the good karma I gained from saving others and liberating ghosts.

I didn't expect that I had so many good deeds. They turned into a silver bridge for me to cross the Forgotten River.

With every step I took, the silver bridge behind me disappeared a little, until I crossed the Lethe River and the silver bridge disappeared completely.

They turned into crystal points of light and fell into the Forgotten River.

I bowed to those spots of light. Although I had rescued them before, I would not have been able to cross the River Lethe if they had not built a bridge for me.

This is what is meant by "good deeds will be rewarded".

After crossing the Forgetful River, a door appeared in front of me. This was the door to life, and I walked in without hesitation.

The scene in front of me turned a blinding white. I covered my eyes and soon returned to the human world.

I opened my eyes and the light of the formation under my feet dissipated.

The high priest and the other five were also surprised to see me return unharmed.

Then the five of them attacked me at the same time.

I was caught off guard and was hurt by them.

I quickly used the Golden Feather Flying Arrows, five arrows in one hand, and shot at them.

The five arrows turned into powder when they reached them.

"If this is all you can do, I think you'd better not go to see your parents," said the high priest.

I came here this time just to see my family. When I heard what he said, I threw a thunder and fire bead at him.

I threw this lightning and fire bead in anger, and it is extremely powerful.

Suddenly, Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire appeared before them. The High Priest said, "I didn't expect you to have already reached the third level and mastered the Thunder and Fire Pearl."

He and the other four worked together to extinguish the thunder and fire.

The high priest looked at the four elders on his left and right and said, "What do you think?"

"You can go to the forbidden area." said the other four.

The high priest nodded and said, "Early tomorrow morning, Gui Qing will take you to the forbidden area of ​​the clan. You should make some preparations."

I didn't expect that I would pass the high priest's test so easily. This was a bit beyond my expectations, and my dissatisfaction with them was reduced a little.

I walked down the altar, and Uncle Gui Qing and a group of ghost people were waiting for me.

"How is it?" Uncle Gui Qing asked with concern.

"Passed," I said.
