What exactly is going on in this apocalyptic scenario?
In my past life, I was a shut-in keyboard warrior; I've only ever seen those kinds of scenes in movies.
No, even in movies it doesn't feel that real, as if you saw it with your own eyes.
Thinking of the mysterious colossus calling her old friend, Mi Li remained vague in her response.
Was I really just a shut-in keyboard warrior in my past life?
At this moment, Hei Wuchang said, "You are now recognized by the Netherworld as the ferryman of the River of Oblivion, so these flowers of the other shore will naturally not have much effect on you, so there is no need to worry about them."
Zuan forced a smile, suppressing his doubts.
As Zuan walked along this road to the underworld lined with spider lilies on both sides, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
By the way, Da Manman has this spider lily pattern on her lower back!
She didn't have it originally, but after she obtained some kind of "Butterfly of the Other Shore" in that great tomb, whenever her blood and qi surged, such as when she was intimate with Zu An, a pattern of the other shore flower would appear on her lower back.
Every time Da Manman lay down, Zu An could see her clearly. She looked almost exactly like the spider lilies by the roadside, except that the pattern on Da Manman's lower back was more beautiful and alluring.
Could it be that the meaning of the butterfly's guidance on the other side of the river has some connection with this netherworld?
A sense of foreboding rose in Zu'an's heart; after all, this was not a place for the living.
He asked, "Brother Black and Brother White, do you know anything about the black butterfly related to the red spider lily?"
"A black butterfly?" Black Impermanence shook his head. "We've never seen one, but there was a legend about a black butterfly. However, I've never heard of anyone actually seeing one; it's probably just hearsay."
"What legend?" Zu'an asked hurriedly.
"It's just..." Black Impermanence was about to answer when White Impermanence interrupted him, "Brother Ancestor, you will know in the future. Knowing too much about these things now will not do you any good."
Black Impermanence seemed to wake up as well, and subconsciously nodded, saying, "That's right, there's no need to understand such things now; it will only increase our karmic burden."
Zuan grew increasingly curious, but despite his several attempts to subtly inquire, the Black and White Impermanence remained tight-lipped, so he had to temporarily abandon the idea.
Then he saw the endless mountains in the distance and couldn't help but ask, "Gentlemen, what's the situation with that mountain? It feels like we've been walking for so long and still can't see the end of it."
Hearing that he would no longer press Black Butterfly, Black and White Impermanence visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Black Impermanence replied, "That is Yin Mountain. There is only one mountain in the Netherworld. Yin Mountain and the River of Oblivion are formed from the various rules of heaven and earth, and they are especially sacred here."
"By the way, weren't you asking about the Skinning Hell earlier? Actually, all eighteen levels of hell are behind Yin Mountain," Bai Wuchang replied.
"Behind Yinshan Mountain?" Zu'an was somewhat shocked. The Eighteen Levels of Hell were actually real. But then he thought that he had already seen the Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, so what was so strange about the fact that hell was real?
Then, with the explanation from the Black and White Impermanence, he roughly understood that the so-called eighteen levels of hell were not eighteen in a row, but rather different hells to deal with evil spirits according to their different sins.
Some of these hells often have more than a dozen smaller hells. For example, the Hell of Peeling Skin is one of the sixteen smaller hells contained in the Great Hell of Crying Out.
Of all the hells, the most unbearable is the Avici Hell, also known as the Hell of Incessant Suffering. It is inhabited by people who committed heinous crimes in their previous lives. Their sins are beyond the punishment of ordinary hells, so they must endure all kinds of punishments from other hells in the Avici Hell without any respite. Hence, it is called the Avici Hell.
Looking at the majestic Yinshan Mountain, Zu'an became even more curious and wanted to go and take a look.
At this moment, the eerie red color gradually faded and disappeared, and before they knew it, the group had completed the journey to the underworld.
A palace appeared before them. In truth, Zuan had seen quite a few palaces, from those of humans, demons, and even dragons, each with its own distinct characteristics, but all sharing the common feature of being magnificent and opulent.
The palace before us had nothing to do with magnificence; it was shrouded in a dark hue, and just a glance from afar sent shivers down one's spine. Perhaps it was the natural fear that the dead had of such a hellish place.
Zuan noticed a high platform next to the palace, with a stone that looked like a mirror on it. That should be the Mirror of Karma that the Black and White Impermanence mentioned could reflect a person's good and evil deeds in their past life.
I don't know if I've done more good or more evil in my life.
He considered himself a good person, but in the past two years, quite a few lives had been lost at his hands. In addition, he had just heard the Black and White Impermanence talk about how some lustful and wicked people would have a special hell to deal with them. He himself was not very careful in this regard, and strictly speaking, he was also deeply sinful.
However, he quickly composed himself. He was saving those he should save and those he loved, and all he wanted was a clear conscience. Why should he hesitate or fear the judgment of the Mirror of Retribution?
As soon as he thought about it, he felt his mind clear and his whole body seemed to be enveloped in wisps of Daoist energy, becoming more and more solid.
The Black and White Impermanence beside him exclaimed in admiration, "Brother Zu is truly extraordinary. When ordinary souls first come to the Qin Guang King's Palace, they are usually terrified, and many can't even stand up. I'm not afraid to admit it, but when we brothers first came here, although we weren't that badly frightened, we were still terrified. How could we be as calm and composed as you, brother, and even resonate with the laws of the underworld?"
They increasingly felt that their investment in the ghost story was exceptionally correct, and that such a colleague would surely have a bright future in the underworld.
