When Eighteen Layers of Hell first stood, it was like eighteen bottomless independent world shadows with roaring punishment roads, layered on top of each other, exuding a majesty and Purification aura that froze the soul, standing beside Blood Sea and at the edge of Netherworld.
However, this new Hell still needs a specific person in charge to activate its inherent laws.
Only by sorting out its disciplinary order can it operate truly efficiently and become an indispensable and ultimate link in the Earth Dao Reincarnation system.
Zhenyuanzi Overlooked this new place and had a plan in mind.
He withdrew his magical power to communicate with Earth Dao Origin and turned his gaze to the six core associates of Earthly Dao standing behind him.
Houtu, True Martial Great Emperor Emperor, Great Emperor Fengdu, Minghe, Queen Mother of the West Good Corpse Clone, Ran Deng incarnations.
"Hell was first established, and the laws are self-pregnant. However, the person in charge needs to regulate Yinyang and clearly understand the canon of punishments, so that it can run smoothly and show Earthly Dao's impartiality."
The sound of Zhenyuanzi is magnificent, causing Gate of Hell to resonate slightly.
"Today, I will distribute this Eighteen Layers of Hell to everyone to take charge. Each of you will follow his own path and perform his duties, accelerate its evolution and perfection, and stabilize its ability to punish."
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled, knowing that this was not only a great authority, but also a heavy responsibility and Earthly Dao's deep trust.
"Houtu Fellow Daoist."
Zhenyuanzi first looked at Houtu, "You have immeasurable merit, you have the deepest bond with Earthly Dao, and you have the most keen sense of the soul's destination, Karmic Retribution.
The first layer 'Tongue-Pulling Hell' and the second layer 'Scissor Hell' are mainly for punishing the sins of sowing discord, slandering and harming others, and cutting off good relationships.
This second level involves the evil of words and the damage of karma, which is most consistent with your Reincarnation merits of 'sorting out Karma' and 'Purification souls'.
It will be up to you to take charge, with Reincarnation compassion, to carry out thunderous punishments, so that the guilty souls will understand the weight of their karma and realize the value of harmony."
Houtu accepted the order solemnly. She could feel that the two layers of Hell laws clearly echoed her own Reincarnation Authority, and she bowed and said:
"Houtu accepts the order and must take charge of this second floor Hell with a public heart, making it the beginning of purifying the sinful karma of speech and tongue and rebuilding good relationships."
"True Martial Great Emperor." Zhenyuanzi looked at True Martial.
"You are in charge of Netherworld's military power, destroying demons and killing evil spirits. You are upright and murderous.
The third level 'Iron Tree Hell' and the fourth level 'Mirror of Sin Hell', one punishes the crime of alienating flesh and blood and instigating family affection, and sashimi the body with an iron tree.
The first level is to see the sins in one's life, and there is no way to hide them. The second level requires determination, perseverance, and powerful intimidation.
It is in line with your True Lord Dangmo duty to protect people's moral integrity with iron-blooded means, and to hang a bright mirror high to shine a light on evildoers."
True Martial Great Emperor's eyes flashed with sword light, and he handed over his hand and promised:
"True Martial accepts the order! The Iron Tree will be made just, the evil mirror will be selfless, the alienators will be punished, and the sinners will be revealed, to show the strictness of the Earthly Dao law!"
"Great Emperor Fengdu."
Zhenyuanzi turned to Emperor, "You control Netherworld's administration, are in charge of court trials, and your laws are majestic.
The fifth level 'Steamer Hell' and the sixth level 'Copper Pillar Hell', one punishes powerful officials who benefit themselves at the expense of others, maliciously frame others, and use power for personal gain.
One is to punish evildoers who set fire to murder, destroy other people's property and residence.
This second-level crime mostly involves the abuse of power and malicious destruction in the world of the world.
It is just in need of your Fengdu eyes of law to judge and determine punishment, to use the fire of Netherworld to steam their selfishness, and to use the pillar of red copper to brand their evil deeds."
Great Emperor Fengdu holds the imperial seal with a solemn expression:
"Emperor takes the order!
We must follow the Netherworld laws to severely punish such sinful souls, make the steamer steam away all selfish desires, and use the copper pillar to burn out evil thoughts, as a warning to others!"
"Fellow Daoist Minghe."
Zhenyuanzi's eyes fell on Minghe.
"You are in charge of the Blood Sea, you are in charge of Asura Dao, and you are well versed in the principles of Karmic Retribution transformation and Slaughter nursing.
The seventh level 'Knife Mountain Hell' and the eighth level 'Iceberg Hell', one punishes the crime of killing, torturing and killing innocent people.
One punishes serious ethical evils such as murdering one's husband, being unfilial to one's parents, abortion and abandonment, and makes one feel cold to the bone.
This second level of sin is so serious that it directly points to the foundation of life and ethics. It cannot be suppressed by those who do not have great perseverance, great decision-making, and a clear understanding of the true meaning of "killing" and "punishment".
Your Asura Dao needs to confirm the teaching of 'Killing to Protect Life, kill karma and protect karma' in the midst of such extremely heinous punishments, and use Hell punishment to perform the ultimate Purification."
In Minghe's eyes, Blood Light is intertwined with Qingming, and he nodded solemnly:
"Minghe takes the order!
Asura Dao must be used to guard this second floor, so that the sword of the mountain of swords can judge indiscriminate killings, and the iceberg of pain can freeze the incest, leading the guilty souls to the ultimate punishment, and glimpse a glimmer of repentance and Purification."
"Queen Mother of the West Fellow Daoist."
Zhenyuanzi looked at Queen Mother of the West Good Corpse Clone Meng Po, "You control Naihe, Si Wang, reconcile Yinyang, and be good at ferrying all souls.
The ninth layer 'Oil Cauldron Hell' and the tenth layer 'Ox-Pit Hell', one punishes thieves for robbery, bullying, and trafficking in women and children, and is fried in boiling oil.
The first is to punish those who slaughter livestock at will and indulge in animal cruelty, which is caused by the hooves of cattle. This second level of sin mostly involves bullying the weak and cruelty to living beings.
It is necessary to have compassion and practice punishment, because in the midst of capital punishment, you may be able to inspire some kind thoughts.
Your Meng Po duty is originally between 'closing the past' and 'opening up a new life'. It is precisely after punishment that you can leave a glimmer of opportunity to cleanse the repentant soul."
Queen Mother of the West incarnates and bows, his voice is calm but firm:
"Follow the law.
I should guard this second floor, use the oil pan to cleanse the violent and greedy people, use the cattle pit to punish the cruel creatures, and after the punishment, observe the changes in their character, and maybe lead them to do good."
"Ran Deng Fellow Daoist."
Zhenyuanzi finally looked at Ran Deng Evil Corpse Clone, "You transformed the resentful soul in Hall of Listening and Judging, studied Karma and Karmic Force carefully, and guided people to do good.
The eleventh floor 'Stone-Pressing Hell' and the twelfth floor 'Mortar-Pounding Hell', one punishes the crime of favoring boys over girls, drowning and abandoning babies, and is crushed with a huge stone.
One is to punish those who destroy grain, waste food, and speak dirty words, and put them in a mortar.
This second level involves the contempt of life and the blasphemy of the gifts of heaven and earth. It requires patience and guidance, and in punishment, it also performs the function of enlightenment.
Your method of salvation may be able to ignite a sense of awe for life and creation in those stubborn sinful souls here."
Ran Deng transformed into clasping his hands and bowing, and said in a calm tone, "The poor man accepts the order. He must guard this second floor Hell according to the principles of Karma, so that he will feel regret under the weight of the stone, realize cherishment in the mortar, and try his best to induce him to do good and eliminate his sinful karma."
After Zhenyuanzi was assigned, the six of them all felt that the rules of Hell they controlled were vaguely consistent with their own paths. It was not only a responsibility, but also an excellent opportunity to hone and prove the path.
They each stepped forward and inserted their own Tao mark into the corresponding Hell level, stimulating the Hell origin resonance.
In an instant, the 12-layer Hell phantom controlled by the six people accelerated the flow of light. The punishment scene, Ghost Soldier outline, and punishment rhyme began to evolve and solidify at a faster speed, and the efficiency was far beyond the supernatural.
"There are still six floors left Hell."
Zhenyuanzi looked at the remaining six layers of slightly silent light.
The thirteenth floor Blood Pool Hell, the fourteenth floor Unjust Death Hell, the fifteenth floor Dismemberment Hell, the sixteenth floor Volcano Hell, the seventeenth floor Stone Mill Hell, and the eighteenth floor Hell.
