Chapter 604: Hades Palace

It is even more somber and silent.

Tonight, the stars and moon were dark, the clouds were thick, and the darkness shrouded the Beizhen Fusi Imperial Prison, making this terrifying prison that the people of the capital heard of it become more and more terrifying. Inside and outside the deep blue brick wall that is two zhang high and the top is covered with thorns, there are many terrifying legends, all say that one day is dark, there are many ghosts wandering under the corner, if you get closer, you often hear the ghost crying, and say that the deep road leading to the entrance of the edict is an entrance to the ghost gate. Therefore, as soon as it gets dark, except for the Jinyi guards who have to patrol, even the officers and soldiers inside the Beizhen Fusi are reluctant to take a step closer to the edict......

Regardless of whether the road leading to hell is the Huangquan Road, the inside of the Imperial Prison is indeed a living hell without daylight, and in the damp and dark cells, it is dark day and night, only the wind lamps embedded in the stone wall at intervals emit a little dim light, weakly illuminating the cells enclosed by thick iron fences.

Although it is already spring and March outside, the dungeon of this edict prison is still cloudy and windy, deep cold, the air is filled with a heavy putrid smell, ordinary people will get sick after staying in it for a while, the prisoners in the prison stay in this environment all day long, many people can't support it and die, and the rest are not dead, they have survived, no one is a ghost, no one is a ghost...... They have become completely numb, fear, pain, shame...... Those innate human senses are lost in the same sluggishness, and even rats will be indifferent when they gnaw at their rotten limbs.

Li Chun, the former deputy of the Fusi of Beizhen, was locked up here. Wang Xian opened the court that day to try the case, although Li Gou'er gritted his teeth and took all the responsibility, but Li Chun could not escape from the charge of favoritism and shelter and slandering good people, so after leaving the court, he was thrown into prison. It has been more than a month now, and in the past month, Li Chun has been bullied and scolded by the jailers all day long, and what has made him even more miserable is hunger and despair.

According to the regulations, meals were served twice a day in the prison, and the first meal was clear water porridge and an egg...... The second meal of the unitary season is brown rice with more sand than rice, served with cabbage boiled in water. In order to reduce consumption, the prisoners could only lie motionless every day, and of course they had no strength to move the ......

The jailers did not give him special care because Li Chun had been their leader. In the past three days, it has been as if he had forgotten him, either not giving him breakfast, or not giving him dinner, or even not giving him a meal today, Li Chun was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, and he lay motionless on the straw, and he didn't even have the strength to breathe.

What is more difficult than hunger is despair, after that day, Li Chun completely lost contact with the outside world, he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, I don't know why after so long, the governor didn't come to save him? Could it be that the Metropolitan Governor has given up on himself? Or is the Metropolitan himself in trouble?

No matter which possibility, Li Chun knew that as he was imprisoned for longer and longer, the slimmer his hope of being rescued, the more he thought that in order not to involve Ji Gang, he lost the lives of his uncle and nephew, but Ji Gang refused to save himself, Li Chun was full of resentment, he hated to tell everything he knew, and let Ji Gang also accompany him to prison. But this is just imagination, if he dares to confess Ji Gang, dozens of members of the whole family will have to die!

Li Chun was completely overwhelmed by hunger and despair, and he lay limply on the straw, letting the scrawny rats in his cell scurry around his body, but he didn't want to or could drive them away. He couldn't move anymore, and the various hallucinations that kept appearing in his mind made him understand that he was waiting for death, and at some point, he would be completely liberated......

After reaching the second drum in a drowsy way, Li Chun suddenly heard a terrifying ghost scream, and then a gust of wind blew into the prison, and the wind lamps were extinguished one after another, and the gambling money of the jailers in the cell and the moans of the prisoners could not be heard in a blink of an eye, and even the rats that were crawling on him just now were suddenly gone......

The whole cell was suddenly silent, Li Chun could clearly hear his own breathing, this strange silence made Li Chun very frightened, and he struggled to sit up with all his strength, but saw a terrifying scene, only to see two lanterns with a miserable green light, slowly floating from the end of the passage of the cell! There was no one left or right of the lantern, so it floated over and hovered at the door of his cell!

Li Chun was so shocked by this scene that his body hair stood on end, but what was even more terrifying was still to come, only to see that at some point, two more people stood outside the cell door, one was wearing a black robe with a black hat, and the other was wearing a white robe with a white hat, both of them were pale with pale faces, blood-red eyes, and a long tongue in their mouths, standing outside the cell in the air, staring at him expressionlessly.

Yes, these two are dangling, a foot above the ground!

"Black and white impermanence!" Li Chun screamed out in a lost voice, his heart was completely cold, I really had reached the limit!

"Are you Li Chun?" Black and white impermanence asked ghostly at the same time, and without seeing their mouths move, they made a sound that made their teeth chatter.

"Yes......" Li Chun said in a lost mind.

"Your yang life is over, come with us to see the king of Hades!" Black and white impermanence said in a deep voice, and saw that the mourning stick in Hei impermanence's hand was flicked, and the locked cell door opened by itself. The mourning stick was a little bit, the fire in the cell flashed, and suddenly a green-faced, fanged, and swarthy demon popped out, he came to Li Chun in two steps, lifted Li Chun's hair, and put him on his shoulder!

Li Chun was already frightened of feces and urine, how could he have the strength to resist, and when he was resisted by the evil ghost on his shoulder, he only felt that the whole body of the two evil ghosts was extremely cold, and the snort of the spurt was extremely foul, and he was already frightened out of his body. I fainted in fright!

In a drowsy state, he didn't know how many dark places he had passed, how many corpses and mountains of blood had passed, and how many wandering lonely ghosts he had seen, he finally came to a magnificent palace, only to see many green-faced and fanged ghost pawns standing at the bottom of the steps, at this time the black and white impermanence was gone, only the ghost pawn who carried him on his back threw Li Chun in front of the hall, sang a song to the ghost pawn who greeted him, and then turned around and disappeared.

In a daze, Li Chun was locked by two ghost pawns with cold iron chains, leading him into the palace, Li Chun had already lost his soul, and he couldn't help but follow the ghost pawn through the halls, but he saw that the hall was gloomy without exception, only a dim green light, shining on those ghost pawns was extremely terrifying. Even more terrifying were those who were tortured at the hands of the ghosts, some of them were put down in boiling oil pots, and half of their bodies were only bones, but they were still screaming; Some were sawed into two sections by a big saw, and their upper bodies were still crawling blankly, looking for their lower bodies. There was also the female prisoner, who was opened by the ghost pawn and pulled out her tongue with iron tongs, and the tongue that came out from the root was thrown in front of Li Chun's eyes with blood, even if he had taken pleasure in torture, he was scared and fainted again!

At this point, Li Chun was already convinced that he had come to the underworld, and when he saw those tortured prisoners, he suddenly remembered his crimes in the underworld. If this is sentenced, you will not be allowed to enter the eighteenth layer of hell, and you will not be able to live forever?!

When Li Chun woke up again, he saw himself kneeling in the lobby, there was a big public case in the hall, and there was no high light and other things in the middle, only a pair of candlesticks, lit with green candles the size of mung beans, the light was faint, and it could be seen faintly.

On the left side of the head of the king of Hades, there was an official wearing a big red python robe and a black veil on his head, I saw him holding a case file in his left hand and an iron pen in his right hand.

Obviously, this is the judge!

Under the king of Hades and the judges, there were many bull-headed horses and horses two feet high, each holding a ghost-headed knife and a white bone stick, standing majestically under the hall.

Surrounded by this group of huge ghosts and gods, Li Chun felt like a baby, busy kneeling on his knees, kowtowing like pounding garlic, he knew that the things he had done could be hidden from people in the yang, but he couldn't hide it from the king of Hades in the underworld, and he couldn't deny it, so he could only confess first, and strive for leniency.......

At this time, the black impermanence came out of nowhere, and floated in front of King Yan in the air, and sang: "Sent by King Yan, bring Li Chun of the Ming Dynasty to Tianfu people, and ask the judge to verify his identity!" ”

"That's right, it's this person." The judge nodded, and bowed his hand to Lord Yama.

"Well, you stand down." As soon as the Lord of Yama spoke, his voice was like a bell, and the entire Hall of Yama was buzzing.

Black Impermanence saluted again and drifted away. Then I heard the Yama King Hongsheng ask: "Judge Cui, is this person guilty in the world?" ”

Judge Cui opened the book of life and death in his hand, read a few words, glanced up at Li Chun with disgust, and then reported to King Yama: "King Qiyu, this person has done a lot of evil, and his crimes are really innumerable, and he is not evil!" ”

When the king of Hades heard this, he was furious, and he slapped the wood hard, and then he heard the thunder rolling outside the hall, only to hear the king of Hades shouting violently: "In this case, send him to the eighteenth layer of hell, and be punished by the steamer cannon branding, the knife mountain oil pot, and the torture knife saw, and he will never be able to live beyond life!" ”

"Whoa!" As soon as the king of Hades gave an order, the bull head and horse face danced with a knife and spear, stabbing at Li Chun, Li Chun had not yet said 'the king spared his life', and he had already been shot in the shoulder and back, and in an instant, the blood flowed endlessly, but Li Chun didn't feel much pain, and said in his heart that I was really dead......

Both sides were about to move together to fork Li Chun into hell, but Judge Cui shouted: "Stop! ”
