Capítulo 729: Chapter 713: This is Driving Crazy
The Judge received a ssage from King Yama and ca to pick up Qin Liuxi without delay.
“How did you co down here without a prior notice? It would have been good if you had inford so I could have co to receive you. Look, just as you arrived, you got bumped by these blind ghosts. What sort of situation is this?” The Judge coldly glanced at the surrounding ghosts and complained about the Evil Ghost that had already vanished into smoke. Truly seeking death even after death – of all people to run into, it had to be near this Little Evil God.
The trembling ghosts: “!”
They didn’t do anything and didn’t dare to, they were wronged.
Qin Liuxi looked at the Judge with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, “Old Judge, listening to your tone, it seems like you’re not very welcoming, are you?”
She clearly heard the aversion in his words.
A myriad of thoughts raced through the Judge’s mind, happy to welco her, no way.
You tell , which Heavenly Master acts like you, summoning whoever you want whenever, opening the Ghost Gate whenever; and that’s not all, now treating the Underworld like her own backyard, coming and going to the Underworld as if it were her ho without prior notice.
But complaint is just complaint, he didn’t dare to speak the truth, and responded seriously, “You’re thinking too much, I didn’t an that. You ca here in your physical body; the Underworld has intense yin energy which might harm you if not careful.”
“Is that so?” Qin Liuxi glanced at the distant ghost ssengers, Oxhead and Horseface, all watching her with ready posture, pretending to look away nonchalantly as she caught their gaze. This act is a bit too much.
The Judge forced a smile and said: “Please follow this way, and who is this young lady?”
“Oh. This girl is called ng Chenxiang, you should have soone register her for reincarnation.” Qin Liuxi pulled ng Chenxiang forward.
The Judge glanced at her, opened the Life and Death Book in his hand, wrote a na with the Judge’s Pen, and ng Chenxiang’s deeds and misdeeds appeared in mid-air, causing him to sigh.
He summoned a ghost ssenger to lead ng Chenxiang on her way.
ng Chenxiang looked at Qin Liuxi, with pursed lips.
“I can only accompany you this far. Go ahead. You haven’t truly hard anyone; you’ll be reborn into a good life next ti,” Qin Liuxi said.
ng Chenxiang bowed to her and followed the ghost ssenger away.
The Judge then took her to et King Pingdeng.
Qin Liuxi walked along, suppressing the strangely familiar feeling in her heart, and said, “I always feel remarkably at ease in the Underworld, as if I’m returning ho.”
The Judge stumbled, kicking a skull away, and sheepishly said, “These ghost ssengers are just collecting gold and silver and not cleaning up; they definitely deserve punishnt, I apologize for this sight.”
Please, don’t say such unsettling words!
King Pingdeng, seeing Qin Liuxi arriving, sharpened his spirit greatly. Seeing that Qin Liuxi was staring at him without bowing, he sternly said, “How dare a little Heavenly Master barge into the Underworld. What brings you here? Why don’t you kneel before this hall?”
“You want to kneel before you? Are you the Great Emperor?” Qin Liuxi slightly tilted her head, “The Great Emperor doesn’t quite look like you.”
King Pingdeng: “!”
He held back and said: “Little Heavenly Master, your tone is presumptuous…”
Qin Liuxi took a couple of steps forward, King Pingdeng’s words stuck in his throat, stepping back, “What do you intend?”
Qin Liuxi looked at the diminutive old man, “King Pingdeng, you manage karma and retribution, and oversee hell?”
“What about it?”
Qin Liuxi, with a mischievous smile, hooked her arm over his shoulder, “Then, why don’t you take to see the Karma Fire Hell.”
“Nonsense, Karma Fire Hell isn’t a place you can just decide to visit on a whim!” Poor King Pingdeng, short and small, was overwheld by Qin Liuxi’s casual familiarity, pressing down on his shoulder, making him appear even shorter.
“I just want to see that Karma Fire, to check if it shares the sa origin with the Karma Fire in , to see what’s different.” Qin Liuxi’s thought provoked a small clump of Karma Fire to ignite on her fingertip, radiant red like a lotus, which she thrust in front of King Pingdeng.
King Pingdeng shivered, cursing his own outspokenness internally, why must he endure such intimidation?
“Take her,” Emperor Fengdu’s voice echoed in the ear.
King Pingdeng wants to cry but has no tears, putting on a stern face, he says: “You, Little Heavenly Master, are a real nuisance, watch it and get lost imdiately, follow .”
He pushed away Qin Liuxi’s hand and moved forward.
Qin Liuxi narrowed her eyes watching his back, and he really was taking her along, which indicated he had ulterior motives.
Avici Hell has eighteen layers, primarily to punish people laden with sins from their life, and people in the human world often curse by saying, “You will go to the eighteen layers of hell,” implying the person is deeply sinful, hence after death they would end up here facing the most painful and terrifying punishnt.
The severity of the punishnt depends on how evil one had been in life.
Currently, the relentless, agonizing wails never ceased, all from the ghosts being punished.
Daoists often say, if a person commits evil acts, even if they escape in the human world, after death in the underworld everything will be settled, which refers to these hellish punishnts.
Qin Liuxi, listening to those screams, remains expressionless, simply urging King Pingdeng to take her to the layer of Karma Fire Hell.
Karma Fire Hell, where all sins are burnt away.
The fire fierce like red lotuses, those being burnt in this layer cannot even scream, they can only shriek in pain silently and struggle amidst the raging flas.
Qin Liuxi walks closer, her eyes too turn blood-red from the crimson flas before her, a hint of joy and exuberance rises in her heart, as if finding a kindred spirit.
And that layer of karma fire, as if sensing this kinship, burns even fiercer, with a roar, the tongues of fla shoot high, swirling and dancing.
The dancing flas bloom, like a huge red lotus rising.
Qin Liuxi, overwheld with excitent, stretches out her hand.
King Pingdeng’s breath halts.
She has touched the petal of the red lotus fla, entwining around her fingertips, like an intimate reunion after a long separation.
Qin Liuxi feels sothing odd, her lips curving up, her mind seemingly flashes with so images.
“Seen enough, it’s ti to go,” King Pingdeng interrupts her.
Qin Liuxi suddenly turns her head, her eyes burning with twin red lotus karma fires, seeming to incinerate soone to ashes.
King Pingdeng steps back twice, his eyes cautious.
Qin Liuxi blinks, glancing at the karma fire before her, then at him, and says: “King Pingdeng, tell , what is my connection with this karma fire? Why does it appear on ?”
King Pingdeng wonders, don’t you have any clue in your heart?
Yet thinking of the despicable things she had done, it gives him a headache. It turns out she rembers nothing.
King Pingdeng says, “If I say you stole it, would you believe that?”
“You say if I believe it?” Did she even possess such abilities?
“Then it’s sothing you tricked away,” his eyes closed, completely dismissive.
Qin Liuxi: “…”
This old man is really mocking , his attitude is only perfunctory, this is driving mad!
Just as she’s about to say sothing, a voice suddenly rings in her ear: “Buqiu from Li City Qingping Temple, what brings you here?”
Qin Liuxi, surprised, look ups: “Who are you?”
The voice choked for a mont, then replies: “Emperor Fengdu.”
“Oh, where are you? I need to talk to you about sothing,” Qin Liuxi pushes King Pingdeng, “Lead the way.”
King Pingdeng feels sowhat stifled.
