Chapter 673 Qin Guangwang Palace
Ghosts who have just arrived in the underworld are called the bardo.
This is the so-called first seven days.
Ghosts will spend these seven days under the protection of the City God Temple set up by the Five Ghost Emperors.
After the first seven days, one will be judged by the Ten Kings of Hell.
Because Li Muhan and Xia Yue had Xie Chengtian's letter and their life span was not yet over, they could skip the first seven days and were directly taken by the servants to the first stop of the Ten Courts of Hell.
Palace of King Qin Guang.
"Please get in the car."
The officer led the two to a black hearse, opened the door for them, and then got into the driver's seat.
"It's really unlucky." Li Muhan complained, then got into the back seat. Xia Yue didn't think anything of it and actually fell asleep after getting in the car.
Along the way, Li Muhan noticed that the vehicle was initially driving in the town at the foot of Luofu Mountain, but soon it seemed to have entered the underworld. The surrounding environment became increasingly darker, and without the demonic perception, he could not see anything.
Here, it seemed as if time had no meaning. After driving for an unknown amount of time, Li Muhan felt a little tired before the car finally stopped in front of a gloomy hall.
Surrounding it was a vast black ocean, and the hall had split the sea surface and stood on the bottom of the sea. It looked extremely strange and indescribably magnificent.
And above this sea area, there stands a fertile reef.
According to the Jade Calendar, the Ghost Judge Palace is located on the black road to the underworld, due west of the sea reef.
This is naturally the first of the Ten Courts of Hell, and it is also the first gate of hell that people have to go through after death.
"We're here. This is the Palace of Prince Qin Guang."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Li Muhan felt that the officer's voice sounded a little strange.
It's completely different from the previous enthusiasm.
Before I could think about it, the car door was violently pulled open.
Two ghost officials wearing bright light armor glared angrily at the two people in the car.
"Don't worry, you two. These two are the gate gods of the Qin Guangwang Palace. They are born fierce but were loyal and brave in life."
The ghost explained to Li Muhan coldly.
"get off."
A gatekeeper spoke coldly.
As soon as I got off the car, the hearse immediately turned around and left, with no intention of explaining anything.
"Come with me."
Another door god led Li Muhan and Xia Yue into the hall.
An eerie light shone from the hall, but there was no flame, only a dim light that illuminated the entire space.
There is a mirror placed on a stone platform on the right side of the hall. The mirror looks like an ancient bronze mirror, but it faintly exudes an extremely gloomy aura. Even Xia Yue didn't want to take a second look at it and kept shrinking behind Li Muhan.
After entering the hall, Li Muhan saw a man sitting on the steps of the hall. This man was three meters tall and burly. He was wearing a black robe and a jade crown on his head. He glared at the two people below the steps with his angry eyes, which made Li Muhan feel a chill down his spine.
"Oh my god, movies and TV shows are still conservative. This is the King of Hell."
Li Muhan complained, and then he heard King Qin Guang raise his hand and shout in a voice as loud as thunder: "Wandering souls in the audience, now that you have seen me, why don't you kneel down and pay your respects to me?"
If a wandering soul like this hears these words, it will surely prostrate itself on the ground at the foot of the steps.
But Li Muhan and Xia Yue were not here to stand trial.
So he did not perform the ceremony of kneeling down, but instead took out a letter written by Xie Chengtian from his arms.
"I've been invited by the City God of Luofu Mountain. This is Mr. Xie's handwritten letter, along with his jade pendant as proof."
King Qin Guang glared at him, then waved his hand. A ghost messenger walked up to Li Muhan, took the letter and jade pendant, and handed them to King Qin Guang on the desk.
He just took one look and burst into laughter.
"Xie Chengtian said that you have never done anything wrong in your life and are a person of supreme virtue. With such sweet talk and deceit, how can I be convinced?"
"No, big brother, that's not right, sir. I didn't ask you to judge me. I really am here to do business, just to go through the process."
“Nonsense!”
King Qin Guang slammed the table and stood up. Suddenly the hall shook and the black began to surge.
"What do you think of this underworld?! Is it a place where you can come and go as you please?!"
Dedede.
Xie Chengtian doesn't have enough face.
"Lord Yama, please calm down. I'm from the Special Management Bureau. I'm here on official business to meet the Emperor of Fengdu. Please... "
“What nonsense!!”
Unexpectedly, King Qin Guang became extremely angry after hearing the name of the Special Management Bureau.
"You say you're from the Human World Special Management Bureau, but where's your token of communication with the underworld?! The Special Management Bureau never enters the underworld without permission. It's us soul-catching agents who come to the human world and bring souls into the underworld. You don't have a token, and you don't have a guide! How dare you say you're from the Special Management Bureau!?"
These questions confused Li Muhan.
I have never heard of these procedures.
"Where is the Rewarding and Benevolence Department?"
Without listening to Li Muhan's explanation, King Qin Guang waved his hand, and a dignified man walked out holding a notebook.
"Li Muhan!"
The man shouted angrily, and the entire hall fell silent.
"Come forward!"
Xia Yue was a little angry.
"You're so long-winded, I can't understand what you're saying, and your attitude is so bad, try yelling at him again."
She stood in front of Li Muhan.
But at this time Li Muhan was very calm. He fell into deep thought, looking at King Qin Guang and the judge of the Rewarding and Benevolent Department, and their attitudes, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
"I see......"
Then he looked up at the judge and asked, "Your Excellency the Judge, I would like to ask a question."
"If you have any grievances, go to Yama Palace and tell them!"
The judge shouted angrily.
"No, I have no grievances. I just want to ask you whether my name and Xia Yue's are really in this book of life and death."
The entire hall fell into silence in an instant.
Li Muhan felt as if there was a faint breath floating in the air.
"nature."
The judge said in a deep voice.
really......
Li Muhan nodded, and then said to Xia Yue.
"Xia Yue, listen to him and don't do anything rash."
"But......"
Li Muhan gently squeezed Xia Yue's hand.
Then he walked up to the judge.
"Li Muhan! You have committed five minor crimes and three major crimes. Do you need me to explain them one by one?"
"Please speak." Li Muhan said lightly.
"For your first crime, you arbitrarily blocked the reproductive instinct of living things. You have committed twenty-three crimes. You may plead guilty!"
"...What the hell? Wait, let me explain to you, I always find owners for stray cats after I take them for sterilization. Also, scientific research shows that sterilization can..."
“Don’t try to quibble!!”
Li Muhan put his hands on his hips, thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I admit it."
"Second crime, you are aggressive and violent. For the sake of women, you repeatedly injured your classmates and showed no remorse. You plead guilty!"
"I'm so embarrassed! I object! Please listen to my explanation, Your Honor, this is pure nonsense! Was I being aggressive? I was just trying to help a female classmate out of trouble, I..."
"Are those your women?!"
"No."
"That's not why you should help! Refutation is useless!"
Hey! Damn it!
Li Muhan suppressed his anger and nodded again: "Okay, I admit it."
"Third crime! You're full of lies! You're even disloyal to your own woman! You said you were going to a meeting, and then you went out to play games. Is this true?!"
"...I object! None of the parties involved in this matter mind! We've already reached a settlement!"
Li Muhan quickly pulled Xia Yue over.
"Xia Yue, do you not mind?"
"Actually... I still mind it a little bit..."
Xia Yue said in a low voice.
