Yin Changsheng

Chapter 53
The underworld is modeled on the ancient administrative division system of the yangjian, which divides the underworld into 72 states, which are managed by 72 divisions of the underworld, and under the control of each state are city gods and other personnel.

The Underworld also adopts a centralized power system. Although the 72 states are divided into 72 divisions, the real central power of the Underworld is in Fengdu City.

The top ten yin commanders are in charge of the forces of the underworld, the ten kings of Hades are in charge of the affairs of the underworld, the four judges are in charge of punishments and the eighteen hells, and the highest power in the underworld is controlled by the five ghost emperors of the underworld.

The ghost king's mansion we are going to now is the mansion of one of the handsome men of the underworld. My father was originally a cheap ghost king in the underworld, but that mansion is still my father's. Now Du Hai and my mother have chosen the ghost king's mansion as the place to get married. The implication is obvious, punish the heart!
There is nothing better than killing one's heart. Du Hai chose this place to humiliate us, which is one of the reasons why Jiang Li asked to come to the underworld to attend the wedding.

It was a little distance from Jinji Ridge to Fengdu City. Along the way, we met many people from the underworld who were traveling with us, many of whom were well-dressed, but they didn't care about us at all, they were just rushing on their way.

The walking process was boring, so I found a topic and said to Jiang Li, "Master, where are they going?"

Jiang Li looked in the direction of the passers-by, and replied: "Fengducheng, Du Hai can casually appoint your father as the ghost king, which means that his position must be higher than that of Yin Shuai, and his position in the underworld is higher than that of Yin Shuai." There are not many people who are tall, either Yama of the Ten Palaces, the Four Great Judges, or the Ghost Emperor of the Five Fangs. Such people can stir up troubles in the underworld with just a word, let alone such a big event as marriage. , such a good opportunity, all the important officials in the underworld will definitely participate, and they may even be able to fall into Du Hai's eyes, this is a rare opportunity for them."

Jiang Li answered all the questions I wanted to ask and the ones I didn't want to ask, and I immediately had nothing to say, I faltered and wanted to find another topic, but Jiang Li smiled: "Walk well, if you have any questions, we will talk about them when we return to Yangjian. "

I responded and concentrated on walking.

There is no difference between day and night in the underworld, and there is no sun, moon and stars. Looking up, you can only see the scarlet sky, the black soil on the ground, and the iron trees growing on the road.

After walking for nearly half a day, Jiang Li pulled me up a mountain range of hundreds of meters. The mountain range was so long that the naked eye could not see where it went. Jiang Li and I stood at the peak of the mountain range. When we looked down, I couldn't close my mouth in shock.

Jiang Li looked down and smiled: "Below here is Fengdu City, the center of the underworld, and the most terrifying place in the underworld. That's where we're going."

Jiang Li pointed in a direction. There are black palaces everywhere, mysterious and deep. The city below is surrounded by the threat of death and the pressure of the king. After all, the people living below are the most important in the entire underworld. people.

"Why isn't the ghost palace in the city?" I asked.

The place Jiang Li is pointing to is the Ghost King's Mansion. The place we are going to go to next, although the city below is large, there is a wall of hundreds of meters, which divides the city of Fengdu below into the inner city and the outer city.

It happened that we were a little tired from the journey, and taking advantage of this rest time, Jiang Li explained to me in detail: "Only people who are above the tenth temple of Yama and above are eligible to live in the inner city. inner city."

"Then why did this mountain range surround Fengdu City again?" I pointed to the mountain range and said, standing on the top of the mountain range, I could roughly see the direction of the mountain range. The entire city of Fengdu was surrounded by it.

When mentioning this, Jiang Li paused for a moment, thoughtful, and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said to me: "This mountain range is called Duan Hun Cliff. "Tian Zang" records that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou There was a man named King Wu Cheng who unified the entire underworld with great magic under the order of King Wu of Zhou, and became the first emperor of the underworld. In order to avenge Yin Changsheng, his disciples entered the underworld one by one with one sword, forcing King Wu Cheng to be desperate, but he gave up revenge in the end, but he didn't want to watch King Wu Cheng go out to kill people of Yin Changsheng's lineage. , moved this mountain range from Yangjian with magic, surrounded the entire Fengdu City, and King Wucheng was not allowed to take half a step from the Broken Soul Cliff."

I nodded my head. I once heard some stories from my second grandpa about this King Wu Cheng.

It is said that King Wu Cheng's original name was Huang Feihu, and he was so powerful that he became the first emperor of Dongyue in the underworld. However, the second grandfather never told me that someone moved a mountain from the underworld to restrict King Wu Cheng from going out of Fengdu City.

"Then, what is that city wall for?" I pointed to the city wall in Fengdu City and asked Jiang Li.

Jiang Li said: "The disciples of Yin Changsheng did not allow the people in Fengdu City to step out of the Soul Breaking Cliff, and the people in Fengdu City were also afraid that the disciples of Yin Changsheng would kill them again, so they built such a city wall to prevent the disciples of Yin Changsheng from entering. .”

"That sounds like a fairy tale," I said.

Jiang Li smiled: "History is written with embellishments. This is a legend. Only the people of that era know what happened. Let's go. It won't be in time for your mother's wedding."

Broken Soul Cliff prevents the people in Fengdu from going out, but after so many years, there is already a passage in this mountain range. We rested on the top of the mountain range and walked down a road along the mountain range.

Fengdu City was extremely lively, some of them were people from the underworld living here normally, and some of them came for Du Hai's wedding.

Jiang Li was wearing Taoist robes, and when he arrived in Fengdu City, people began to pay attention to us.

The relationship between the underworld and Taoism is very embarrassing. The underworld deals with ghosts, and Taoism also deals with demons and goblins. There are often conflicts between the two sides. It can be seen from the last time Jiang Li went to the Chenghuang Temple, but this is Fengdu City, even if it is the Dragon and Tiger Sect When the teacher came, he would also be afraid to go to such a place where the dignitaries of the underworld were concentrated.

All the ghosts on the road focused on us, Jiang Li held me tightly, for fear that I would get lost.

After walking a few steps, a man dressed like a city god in front of us scolded us: "You two, what is your origin? This is Fengdu City, and it is not a place where Taoism can be contaminated. Hurry up and get out."

The City God has some status outside, but this is Fengdu City. Anyone who looks inconspicuous here may be an important person in a mansion. The City God's scolding immediately dissatisfied the other ghosts around He frowned and stared at the City God, then stepped forward and asked seriously, "What's going on?"

The city god took a look at the person who came forward to inquire, and immediately said respectfully: "Pingping Wang is very happy today. I saw these two people dressed as Taoists, and I was worried that something might go wrong, so I am driving them away."

The man looked at the two of us again, and immediately waved his hands impatiently. Hundreds of Yin soldiers armed with swords and halberds came out of the nearby palaces and alleys, blocking in front of us.

The man who waved his hand just now said: "Chasing them away, if they resist, kill them."

"Yes." The Yin soldiers responded in unison.

The person in command only regarded us as intruders by mistake, and just drove them away. He greeted us and turned around to leave. The Chenghuang immediately stepped forward with a smile.

I looked at Jiang Li, he just had no expression on his face, he pulled me and walked towards him.

"Stop, leave Fengdu City immediately." The Yin soldier on the opposite side saw Jiang Li passing by, and immediately reprimanded him.

Jiang Li didn't stop, but said, "Your King Equality invited me, even if you want to leave Fengdu City, you have to send me away."

Those Yin soldiers only thought Jiang Li was bragging, no matter what Jiang Li said, they charged forward with their spears in their hands.

But as soon as he arrived in front of him, Jiang Li drew out his Dharma sword at some point, swiped the sword and slashed at the Yin soldier's spear, the spear snapped into two pieces, Jiang Li took a step forward, carrying the Yin soldier It was thrown into the alley next to it.

The man who just left just now heard the voice and turned his head, was shocked when he saw this, and immediately ordered: "Kill him."

All Yin soldiers rushed up at the same time.

Just when they were about to step forward, Jiang Li opened his lips and said: "Edict!"

A hula.

Yin Qi gathered and surged down, knocking all those Yin soldiers to the ground.

Because the movement was not small, it attracted more people's attention, the man frowned and shouted: "Call all the Yin soldiers here, kill these two people."
