Journey to the West: Flood Dragon Against the Sky

Chapter 105, Emperor Taizong's tour of the 'Underworld'

Chapter 110, Emperor Taizong Tours the 'underworld'

There are time differences in the three worlds. Xia Hourui only spent half a day in the Netherworld. It has already been half a month in the human world. After all, Tang Taizong was injured by Xiang Yu, and there must be a catastrophe in the hit. It took more than half a month. Surprised but also passed away.

Although Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong wanted to ask Xiaoyaozi and Xiang Yu for help, they didn't get Xia Hourui's instructions, and they didn't know what Xia Hourui was planning to say to them, so they stopped intervening.Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong also helplessly watched Tang Taizong die in peace on his deathbed.On the other hand, Cao Guan Wei Zheng looked weird, but Wei Zheng's expression was secretive, but no one could see anything.

The three palaces and six courtyards, the queen's concubines, the chief minister and the two classes of civil and military officials all mourned and wore filial piety. On the White Tiger Hall, they stopped at Zigong without mentioning it.

Besides, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty was in a daze, and his soul walked out of the Wufeng Tower, only to see the imperial forest army horse, please drive out to the court to hunt.Taizong happily followed it and left in a misty way.

For a long time, there are no people and horses.Walking alone among the wilderness and grass.Just as he was panicked and unable to find his way, he saw someone on the other side shouting loudly: "Emperor Tang, come here! Come here!"

When Taizong heard the words, he looked up and saw the man: black gauze on his head and rhinoceros horns around his waist.There is a soft belt of black gauze on the top of the head, and the rhinoceros horn around the waist is golden.Hold the tooth wat in your hand to condense the auspicious mist, and wear a robe to hide the auspicious light.Stepping on a pair of powder-soled boots, climbing the clouds and promoting fog; carrying a book of life and death, doomed to life and death.The hair on the temples is fluffy and flutters on the ears, and the beard flutters around the cheeks.In the past, he was the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, and now he is in charge of the case to serve the King of Hades.

When Taizong went there, he saw him kneeling by the side of the road, saying, "Your Majesty, pardon me for the crime of failing to welcome you far away!"

Taizong asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to meet me?"

The man said: "Half a month ago, in the Senluo Hall, I saw the Jinghe ghost dragon telling His Majesty to rescue and rebel against him. In the first hall, King Qin Guangda sent a ghost envoy to ask His Majesty to confront the case with the three Caos. I know it. , so I come here to pick you up, I don’t expect to be late today, I hope to beg for forgiveness and forgiveness.”

Xia Hourui just happened to turn back from the Netherworld, just happened to bump into this scene, and also smiled coldly. The Dragon King of Jinghe was sent to the six realms by him, and Brother Qin Guang even fought with him.Where did the defendant come from half a month ago, where did the presiding judge come from? It was nonsense, but he wanted to see which underworld the so-called Judge Cui took King Tang to, so he continued to watch without saying a word.

Just listen to Tang Taizong said: "What is your surname? What is your official position?"

Magistrate Cui said: "I am a humble official who lived in Yangcao before serving the ancestors. He was the magistrate of Zizhou. Later, he worshiped the servant of the Ministry of Rites. His surname was Cui Minggui. Now he is in the Yin Division and has to be judged by Fengdu."

Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty was overjoyed, and came to the royal hand to help him and said: "Mr. is far away. I have a letter from Wei Zheng before I drive, and I am sending it to Mr., but it is good to meet you."

The judge thanked him and asked where the book was.Taizong took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Cui Gui.Guibai took it, unpacked it and read it.

His book said: insulting my beloved brother Wei Zheng, I bowed my head to pay homage to Mr. Cui, the elder brother of Daduan Qi.For several years, I have never heard of Puritanism.It is often just that vegetables are offered as sacrifices during festivals, but it is not known whether to enjoy them?And never give up, when I saw it in my dream, I realized that my elder brother had moved to a higher place.However, yin and yang are separated, and the sky is on each side, so they can't face each other.Today, because of my Emperor Taizong Wen's sudden death, it is expected that the case against the three Caos will inevitably meet with my elder brother.Wan prays for birthday friendship, it is convenient for one or two, and it is love to let His Majesty return to Yang.Thank you again.Endless. "

The judge read the book and said with joy: "The Wei man Cao had dreamed of beheading the old dragon the day before yesterday. I already knew about it, and I can't praise him enough. I also know that he will see Gu Chen's descendants sooner or later. Since there is a book today, your majesty is relieved. I will send His Majesty back to Yang, and ascend the jade tower again." Taizong thanked him.

While the two of them were talking, they saw a pair of boys in green clothes over there, holding banners and banners, and shouted: "The king of hell is here to invite you." Xia Hourui immediately turned into a cloud of dust and landed in Tang Taizong's bun. , Taizong then moved forward with Judge Cui and the two boys.

Suddenly, I saw a city with a big sign hanging on the gate, with seven big gold characters written "Ghost Gate of the Underworld".The Tsing Yi shook the banners, led Taizong into the city, and walked along the street.On the side of the street, the former lord Li Yuan, his elder brother Jian Jian, and his old brother Yuan Ji stepped forward and said, "The people of the world are here! The people of the world are coming!"Taizong couldn't dodge in time and was caught by him.Fortunately, Judge Cui summoned a green-faced and fang-toothed emissary to drink away Jian Jian and Yuan Ji, so that Taizong had to escape.

After walking for a few miles, I saw a blue-tiled tower, which is really magnificent, with thousands of clouds floating in the sky, and thousands of red mist appearing faintly.Geng Geng's eaves are flying monster heads, and brilliant tiles are made of mandarin ducks.A few red gold nails are drilled on the door, and a horizontal white jade section is set on the threshold.The low beams of the windows let off dawn smoke, and the curtains lit up with red lights.The towering towers meet the blue sky, and the corridors and verandas line up with Baoyuan.The incense cloud of the beast tripod hits the royal clothes, and the crimson gauze lamp lights the palace fan.The bull's head is violently placed on the left, and the majestic Roman face is on the lower right.Receiving death and sending ghosts to turn gold medals, attracting souls and summoning souls to practice.It is called the gate of the Yinsi General Assembly, and the Yanlao Senluo Hall is below it.

Xia Hourui sneered again and again, the whole place was transformed by spells, but looking at it, it looks like some magical powers of the Buddhist kingdom in the palm of the buddhist flower world. When he was thinking about it, the rings were jingling, the fairy fragrance was strange, and the ten kings of the nether world came. Look at this Xia Hourui, the ten kings of the Nether world, almost laughed out loud. These ten kings are just bullshit. Have you ever seen Yama, who has not even reached the stage of immortality?

The ten kings came out of the Senluo Palace and bowed their backs to welcome Taizong.Taizong humbled himself and dared not go forward. The ten kings said: "Your Majesty is the king of the yang, and we are the king of the ghosts of the underworld. It is a matter of course, so why bother?" "It's very inferior.Taizong went forward and entered the Senluo Hall. After the ceremony with the ten kings, the guests and hosts were seated.

About a moment later, King Qin Guang cupped his hands and said, "The Jinghe ghost dragon asked His Majesty to save him, but instead killed him, why?"

Taizong said: "I once dreamed that the old dragon asked for help, but I actually allowed him to have nothing to do. I didn't expect him to commit a crime and be punished. I should be executed by Cao Guan Wei Zheng. I announced that Wei Zheng was playing chess in the palace, but I didn't know that he was beheaded in a dream. Is it my fault that this is the man Cao Guan haunted by a magic trick, and that the Dragon King committed a crime and deserved to die?"

The ten kings heard the words, and Fu Li said: "Before that dragon was born, the death book of Nan Douxing was destined to be killed by Cao Cao. I will know it a long time ago. But he is here to argue and he must come down. Cao confronted the case. I waited to send him to Lun Zang and reincarnated. Today, Majesty Lao has descended again, hoping to forgive me for the crime of urging."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the judge in charge of the book of life and death: "take the book urgently, and see how much your Majesty's longevity and Tianlu should be?" Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was destined to live in Zhenguan for 13 years.Judge Cui was taken aback, he hurriedly took a thick brush, added two strokes on the character "一", and then presented the notebook.

When the ten kings looked at it from the beginning, they saw that Taizong's name was destined to be 33 years old. King Yan asked in surprise, "How long has your Majesty been on the throne?"

Taizong said: "It has been 13 years since I ascended the throne." King Yan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you still have 20 years to live. Now you have understood the case. Please return to the original."

When Taizong heard the words, he bowed and thanked him.The Ten Hades sent Judge Cui and Taiwei Zhu to send Taizong back to life.Taizong came out of the Senluo Palace and asked the Ten Kings, "How are the young and old in the palace?"

The ten kings said: "All are safe, but I am afraid that Yumei's life may not last forever."

Taizong thanked him again: "When I return to the world of Yang, I have nothing to reward, only melons and fruits."

Ten Wang Xi said: "I have quite a lot of east melons and watermelons, but only a few pumpkins."

Taizong said: "I will send it when I go back, and I will send it." From then on, they bowed to each other and said goodbye.

The Taiwei held a soul-inducing flag and led the way. Judge Cui then protected Taizong and walked out of Yousi.Taizong raised his eyes to see that it was not the old way, and asked the judge, "Is this way bad?"

The judge said: "It's not bad. It's like this in the underworld. There is a way to go, but there is no way to come. Now I will send your Majesty to turn the wheel to hide his birth. One will invite His Majesty to visit the underworld, and the other will teach His Majesty to turn to the supernatural."

Taizong had no choice but to follow the two of them and lead the way.After traveling for several miles, I suddenly saw a high mountain, with dark clouds hanging down the ground and black mist in the sky.Taizong said: "Mr. Cui, what kind of mountain is that?"

The judge said: "It's the Nether Back Yin Mountain."

Taizong fearfully said: "How can I get there?"

The judge said: "Your Majesty is relieved, there are ministers to guide you."

Trembling with fear, Taizong followed the two of them up to the top of the rock, and looked up, only to see: the shape is more convex and concave, and the situation is more rugged.It is as steep as Shuling and as high as Luyan.

After going through many yamen, there are mournful sounds everywhere, and the evil monsters are frightening.Taizong said again: "Where is this?"

The judge said: "This is the [-]th floor of hell behind Yinshan Mountain."

Taizong said: "The eighteen floors?"

The judge said: "Listen to me: hanging tendons prison, secluded prison, fire pit prison, Fengdu prison, tongue pulling prison, skinning prison, crying and crying, miserable, grinding prison, pounding prison, cart collapse prison, ice prison Prison, prison for shelling, prison for pumping intestines, with unkempt faces and frowning eyes, oil pan prison, dark prison, knife mountain prison, blood pond prison, Abi prison, and balance prison, all of which are tied tightly with bolts and tied with ropes. , almost like red-haired ghosts, black-faced ghosts, spears and short swords; bull-headed ghosts, horse-faced ghosts, iron swords and copper hammers. They only frown and beat bloody faces, screaming and screaming. It’s life, but don’t deceive your heart. , who will the gods and ghosts let go? Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the only thing to fight is the early and the late."

When Taizong heard about it, he was terrified.Not long after I went forward, I saw a group of ghost soldiers, each holding a banner, knelt down by the roadside and said, "The messenger of the bridge is here to meet you." The judge ordered him to go forward and lead Taizong across the golden bridge.

Seeing that Tang Taizong was about to follow Judge Cui to leave the so-called underworld, Xia Hourui jumped off the top of Tang Taizong's head, and then saw Tang Taizong leave, suddenly appeared on the ground and paused. In the eighth hell, the yamen of the underworld are falling down like dominoes.

As the house collapsed, it immediately revealed that it was a dilapidated Town God's Temple outside Chang'an City. Those who had transformed into ten halls of Yama turned out to be lands of some mountain gods. When they saw Xiahourui, they immediately slammed into the ground with a Wu Yaya sound. Disappeared without a trace.

In the oblique stab, he shouted softly: "Whoever kills a thousand swords ruins the poor monk's ten years of hard work!"
