Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2207 Shaft
Accompanied by the creaking sound of the crankshaft, the "mountain of corpses" slowly moved away, and a deep well three feet wide appeared in front of everyone.

The fishy smell came with the cold wind from below.

Chen Zichu was too scared to speak, and Ji Jiashu slowly took a step forward.

"The nineteenth floor you mentioned earlier is just below here?"

"There are only eighteen floors below." Chu Yan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. "The place we are standing now is already the first floor."

Ying Baoyue asked coldly, "What's the name of the first floor?"

Chu Yan turned his head and took a deep look at her, "Just stay there."

"Only living here?" Xu Yishan supported Chen Zichu, whose legs were limp and almost unable to stand, "What does this mean?"

"I don't know either," Chu Yan shrugged. "These names were all given by the Zen master. We only know the sound, and we don't even know how to write the characters."

Because there is no exact corresponding text for these names.

Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, "Then the seventeen floors below are called Juxulangue, Sangjudu, Lou, Fangzu, Caowubeici, Dulu Nandan, Bulu Banhu, Wu Jingdu, Niludu, Wulue, Wuman, Wujuan, Wuhu, Xujianju, Moduganzhihu, Qutongtu, and Chenmo."

People who listen to this long list of titles are dizzy, and the unfamiliar pronunciation echoes heart-poundingly in the empty space.

Ji Jiashu turned his head abruptly, staring blankly at Ying Baoyue.

The look of ease on Chu Yan's face retreated slightly, and he looked at Ying Baoyue with a strange gaze, "How do you know? Chunyuye told you?"

Ying Baoyue shook her head.

The first time she learned this series of terrifying words was from her master Lin Shubai.

Later, when she traveled to Master's hometown, she fully understood what the string of names represented.

These seventeen names, plus the first layer of light, are the names of the eighteen layers of hell in Sanskrit.

Guangjuju is the first level of hell, and Chen Mo is the No.18 level of hell.

Because it is transliterated from Sanskrit, there is no corresponding text.

But the names of these eighteen levels of hell are not found in the local Buddhist scriptures of the Shanhai Continent.

Ying Baoyue clenched her fingers slightly, Yun Zhongjun, could it be...

"What about the No.19 floor? Doesn't it have a name?"

At this time, Ji Jiashu's voice interrupted Ying Baoyue's thoughts, and she couldn't help feeling tense.When Chu Yan said that the punishment hall had nineteen floors before, she suspected that the first eighteen floors were the names of the eighteen hells, but what was the name of the last nineteen floors?
"Of course the nineteenth floor has a name." Chu Yan bent down and groped around the edge of the well, and then picked up a wet iron chain that was as thick as a fist. "It's called Abi."

Abi hell.

Ying Baoyue pierced her palm with her fingertips.

It turned out to be Avici Hell.

In the Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures, the endless hell in the center of the earth, transliterated as "Abi" hell, is the place where suffering is the heaviest, and it is named for the endless torture day and night.

At the same time, among all hells, the life span of beings in Avici Hell is also the longest.

In Buddhism, all sentient beings sent to hell have a characteristic, that is, their lifespan is extremely long, which means extremely long torture. All this is just the opposite of human beings: human beings seek longevity but cannot obtain it, while hell sentient beings seek early death. Not available.

Practitioners practice for survival, and survival in hell is for death.

Ying Baoyue couldn't help but see the plaque hanging at the gate of the Buddhist monastery.

"All beings are suffering."

What has happened to the owner of the monastery?
His design of the torture hall and the intention behind the name are no longer just chilling.

It was the first time that Ying Baoyue felt such deep fear and trembling in her heart before meeting someone.

"Well, whatever it is, it's just a name."

Chu Yan grabbed the chain and looked at the people behind him, "If you are afraid, the door is there, go out quickly."

"Who, who is afraid!"

Chen Zichu pushed Xu Yishan away, "Isn't it just a well?"

Chu Yan squinted at him, "Then do you dare to go down?"

Chen Zichu stared wide-eyed, watching the sticky black blood dripping from the iron chain in Chu Yan's hand, his ankle trembled, and he almost fell down again.

Are they really going to drag this chain down?

"Okay, Zichu, you and your brother stay here and watch out for us."

Ying Baoyue patted him on the shoulder, "You two don't go down."

Xu Yishan nodded silently. Given the state of the two of them, going down would add to the chaos.

Ying Baoyue looked at Ji Jiashu, "As for Jiashu, you..."

"I'll accompany you down," Ji Jiashu said softly, "Baoyue, I'm not afraid."

"Overestimate your own strength," Chu Yan snorted coldly, "I won't save you if you don't grasp the chain and fall later."

After he finished speaking, he didn't mention how to go down, just grabbed the iron chain and jumped down.

Ying Baoyue followed closely without any hesitation.

"hug……"

Chen Zichu was dumbfounded. Before he could react, Ji Jiashu also picked up the chain and disappeared at the edge of the well.

"Crazy, all crazy."

Chen Zichu muttered, at this moment a gust of wind blew past his back, his hair stood on end, and he slammed against Xu Yishan, trembling all over.

……

……

"Is there no guard on each floor?"

Chu Yan seemed to have jumped down, but in fact he just slid down the chain a little bit.

Ying Baoyue followed Chu Yan's speed and slowly descended holding the iron chain. The sticky feeling came from the palm of his hand, which was extremely disgusting. Only by injecting true energy into the palm of his hand could he avoid slipping to the bottom.

The scene in front of me is like sitting in a transparent elevator sinking a little bit.

The place through which they passed was a shaft that went straight through each level of the torture hall.In the shaft floated a little phosphorescent fire made of human bones, and with the light of the will-o'-the-wisps, black holes appeared in all directions.

The light of the phosphorous fire is limited, and it is impossible to see clearly what is inside the cave.

Unlike other prisons, the heart-piercing howls are not heard here, nor are the hands stretched out of the cage one by one.

In the endless darkness, only a few faint breathing sounds could be heard, which meant that there were still living people inside.

But it was this kind of silence that made the scalp tingle even more.

"There are guards," Chu Yan said lightly, "he should be busy torturing criminals inside."

The punishment hall relies on formations to guard against intrusions. The guards almost don't have to worry about outsiders intruding. They usually stay in the depths of each floor to do their own business, and they don't go to the entrance to watch.

"In addition, the further you go down, the fewer guarding disciples will be."

The lower floors are not guarded by people.

"Then how do I know which floor Du Ziqing is locked in?" Ying Baoyue frowned, her breath fluctuating, "Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know," Chu Yan said indifferently, "I don't know much about him, and I don't know which level he deserves to stay in the heart of Zen Master."

Ying Baoyue became anxious, "Then let's look for it layer by layer?"

Regardless of the issue of time, if they encounter the guards on each floor, there will probably be another commotion.

Chu Yan glanced around, "If you want to look for it, I suggest you start from the last floor."

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the chains in the hands of the three fell to the end.
