After so much development and Kong Hanan's planning, the hell under the jurisdiction of the underworld has now developed further.
According to the original plan, the five hells have been fully built in the space of the Ghost Kingdom, namely the Stone Mill, the Burning Heat, the Extreme Cold, the Wild Sand, and the Sea of Bitterness.
Afterwards, there are the Blood Sea Hell of the Asura Clan, the Desire Realm Hell of the Night Beggar Clan, the Poisonous Hell of the Five Strange Ghosts, etc.
Luofeng Mountain Spirit and the Five Thieves controlled the space, joined forces with ghost cultivators and Mo Gui, and developed many hells in the ghost kingdom according to the respective territories of each ghost immortal.
Oxen, horses, night watchmen, yakshas, dark dogs, dark spiders, dark bees, etc. all have their own space. Even the Black and White Impermanence have their own hell.
Of course, the ghost generals from all sides have their own responsibilities. The domains they opened up merged with the domains of the ghost kingdom to form a larger hell space, and the prison lord was simply handed over to others for management.
For example, Li San's father, the patriarch of the Li Geng tribe, resigned from his duties as the lord of the City of the Dead and took on the role of lord of the Terrifying Hell.
As time went by, almost all the ghosts in the City of the Dead were dead ghosts, and the rest of the ghosts were transferred to other cities. The dead ghosts were already miserable in their lives, and it was a bit unreasonable for them to be tortured by the Li Geng people after death. The Li Geng people were already somewhat restricted in the city, and accepting the terrifying hell made them more relaxed.
The lord of the City of the Dead was succeeded by Master Gu Qiang. After all, Master Gu's judge's office was in the City of the Dead, and he was happy to mingle with those dead ghosts. The affinity of a good man for nine generations always allowed him to resolve the resentment in the hearts of the dead ghosts inadvertently.
This is also the reason why he can overcome the tribulation faster than other ghosts.
The former Ghost Kingdom has been renamed the Great Hell.
Even if the small hells have not merged, they all surround the big hell, making it convenient for the ghosts and monsters being punished in them to fall into the hell of suffering.
So, the entrance to hell is actually very easy to find...
Dizang had a slight sense of Di Ting's location and quickly moved in.
Even though he had attained the status of a Bodhisattva, he still felt a chill when he stepped into the world of hell and was almost blown away by the cold wind.
The first hell he encountered was the extreme cold hell.
The prison master seemed to be away. He was floating in the air, following the sensation and feeling his way towards the direction of Di Ting.
All he saw were the souls of the dead who were suffering from the cold, which shocked him.
"Brother, your ambition doesn't need to be so complicated. I'll teach you one..."
"I will not attain Buddhahood until hell is empty..."
In the past, in the auspicious clouds, the words of my junior brother Kong Hanan are still fresh in my mind.
He didn't quite understand at the time...
The ambition that his master Taishang Laojun arranged for him was to make him swear to seize the underworld.
My junior brother is knowledgeable and has great power over the underworld, so he can resist Buddhism. If that doesn't work, Taishang can also lend a hand.
As long as he seeks the command of the Buddhist kingdom in the underworld, he will never be able to fulfill this ambition in his lifetime.
The ambition is actually the same as the resonance between heaven and earth before Kong Hanan.
As long as the person taking the oath is willing and in accordance with the principles of heaven and earth and his own development, there is a certain probability of success, but it is difficult to achieve.
Kong Hanan happened upon it by accident, and he became a member of the Taishan lineage, so of course he was willing to do so.
Moreover, the underworld has also faced many crises of destruction, but he was always lucky or made some clever moves to succeed.
Ksitigarbha is a disciple of Buddhism. According to the deduction of Tathagata and Taishang, the entry of Buddhism into the underworld is indeed in line with certain laws of nature.
Kong Hanan also had some guesses in his mind. After all, the legends about the underworld in his previous life were basically based on Buddhism.
Moreover, what Tai Shang taught Dizang was in line with his development in Buddhism, and even his undercover identity did not need to be exposed.
But Kong Hanan had other thoughts.
Since we have to conform to the rules, it would be better to let myself, the "Eighth Senior Brother", conform to the "rules" better.
At first, Dizang could not quite understand what Kong Hanan meant. Kong Hanan was laughing mysteriously in the auspicious clouds at that time.
"Brother, you will know when the time comes..."
After enduring the extreme cold, there was another stone mill, with countless souls running for their lives on it.
Behind the stone mill, there was a raging sandstorm, with the wind howling and blowing the dead souls on it almost to death.
As he watched the scene unfold, Dizang felt increasingly heavy in his heart.
He is a kind-hearted person, otherwise he would not have been able to cultivate merits and gain the good fortune of heaven and earth.
At this moment, he began to understand why his junior brother asked him to make such a grand wish.
He knew that there must be a reason why his junior brother made such arrangements, but the kindness in his heart made him unable to bear to see such torture.
Finally, he arrived at the fiery hell where Di Ting was.
The whole place was filled with magma and raging fire, and the evil spirits were burning and wailing.
When he found Di Ting, Dizang felt a little distressed and felt a little resentful towards Kong Hanan.
Although this divine beast was a tool sent by Tathagata to monitor him, he had been with Di Ting for a long time and had developed feelings for him, not to mention that he was kind-hearted.
All the hair on Di Ting's body was burned off, and he was hung above the lava by chains specially made by the underworld.
It no longer had the energy it once had, and was now listless and possibly fainted, not even noticing its owner approaching.
Dizang no longer hid and revealed his true form. While using Buddha's light to heal Di Ting, he also cut off the shackles on Di Ting's body.
"Listen, listen!"
Dizang rescued the divine pet and tried to wake it up.
Under the Buddha's light, the wailing ghosts nearby recovered a lot.
In a prison on earth, if there is a jailbreak, the other prisoners will take the opportunity to ask for help. What's more, this is the "hell" in the underworld, where all the prisoners are guilty souls. They are not stupid at all and will shout immediately.
"Buddha, please save us!"
"Buddha, please save us!"
Dizang gritted his teeth and ignored them for the time being.
Di Ting Youyou woke up and asked weakly.
"Buddha, why did you come to save me?"
"Listen, are you okay?"
Dizang avoided the question and asked with concern.
Tears flowed from Di Ting's eyes, but quickly evaporated in the scorching heat...
"Buddha, this is not a place for living beings to stay..."
It began to cry out about the various tortures it had endured, and the evil spirits beside it also agreed with it and added fuel to the fire.
Endless work, making money...
Redemption, oppression, punishment, sea of suffering...
Dizang even discovered the souls of many fallen Arhats and Vajras...
What I saw and heard along the way, the cries of my beloved pets, and the wails of the ghosts around me...
Dizang felt very depressed, and he felt that there was a subtle movement in the heaven and earth.
I see……
Junior Brother...
You really are...
Dizang shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"Everyone, don't worry. I will do everything I can to get you out."
"From now on, I will guard Hell until there are no more undead souls left..."
"I will not attain Buddhahood until hell is empty!"
"boom!"
The voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva echoed in hell.
Not only in hell, but in the three realms, all the living and dead souls with cultivation, gods, Buddhas and demons, can faintly hear something.
As if in response to his words, the heavens and the earth shook...
In the Luofeng Mountain Hall, the gathered demons and monsters all changed color.
"My Lord, there's a change in Hell!"
