After the retired judge enters the escape game

Chapter 209 The Scene of Hell

After leaving Fengdu, Qi Wuguo first took Duan Li to Wangxiang Terrace.

Wangxiang Terrace is at the highest place in the entire underworld. In the hearts of those souls from the Yang world, the higher the terrain, the closer they are to the Yang world.

In the process of climbing Wangxiang Terrace, as long as you turn your head, you can see Wangchuan.

The River of Forgetfulness meanders through the entire underworld, and after the soul enters the gate of hell, it will face the River of Forgetfulness.

On the River of Forgetfulness, after crossing the Naihe Bridge, and drinking that bowl of Mengpo soup, you completely cut off all connections with the world of Yang, and returned to a pure state again, waiting for the next new life.

Therefore, the judge's mansion is after the ghost gate and before Wangchuan.

Not all ghosts have the right to forget everything after death. Those who do evil must first be judged after death. According to their faults in life, they will be sent to different small hells to be punished.

After the punishment is over and the drunkenness of the evil is redeemed, he can drink Mengpo soup, cross the Naihe Bridge, and enter Fengdu City.

Qi Wuguo led Duan Li all the way up, and soon reached the top of Wangxiang Terrace.

Wangxiangtai is a place of homesickness.

After some people die, they don't have any worries, and they choose to drink Mengpo soup and leave here.

On the Wangxiang Terrace, you can see the hometown that you have been dreaming of. Some people choose to climb on the Wangxiang Terrace to look back at their hometown for the last time, and let go of their obsessions.

Since I want to be homesick, the Wangxiangtai will definitely not be densely packed with people like those scenic spots in the real world.

Every soul who has concerns in his heart will enter a different Wangxiang Terrace when he steps on the last step.

Looking at the hometown and looking at the hometown is not necessarily the hometown, but it may also be the unforgettable place in the heart.

Qi Wuguo is a ghost, so he naturally has a way to get himself and Duan Li into the same place.

The two of them stepped onto the last step, and white mist filled the surroundings.

Qi Wuguo has always been able to sit and not stand, so he went up to the lookout platform, and then jumped onto the railing to sit on the side, his movements were lax and his expression was casual.

Duan Li was still standing beside him with no expression on his face.

The difference is that since he uttered those few words in Fengdu City, Duan Li began to react to Qi Wuguo.

Like now.

When Duan Li saw Qi Wuguo jumping onto the railing, he subconsciously grabbed Qi Wuguo's arm.

Qi Wuguo was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Duan Li.

There was no expression on the other party's face, just looking at Qi Wuguo so intently... the railing under him.

No need for words, Qi Wuguo also understood what Duan Li meant, he said: "Don't worry, the quality of the construction in this hell is quite good, I have been up to this place [-] times if not a thousand, and I won't fall down. "

Duan Li didn't seem to understand, he raised his head and looked straight into Qi Wuguo's eyes.

Seeing this, Qi Wuguo knew that the other party's current chaotic state was just a muscle, and he couldn't convince the other party with reason.

Over the years, Qi Wuguo has been very good at dealing with Duan Li. He directly raised his hand and pointed at the white mist in front of him, and said, "Look over there."

Duan Li looked over subconsciously. When his eyes fell on the white mist, the white mist surged, and a picture gradually appeared in the air.

At first, the picture only had an outline, but as Duan Li looked at it for a long time, the picture on it gradually became clearer.

When Qi Wuguo saw the state of the Wangxiang Terrace, some guesses arose in his heart. The outline of the plot in the small space of the ghost domain seemed to be similar to that of the Wangxiang Terrace.

If I brought Duan Li to this Wangxiang Terrace at the beginning, it can be explained.

The picture finally became extremely clear, Qi Wuguo withdrew his thoughts and looked up at Duan Li's hometown.

Duan Li is the Pojun Xingjun, and Qi Wuguo is very curious about what kind of scene his hometown is like.

At first glance, it is completely different from Qi Wuguo's imagination.

The picture that appeared in the air was that small village back then.

Green water and green mountains, small bridges and flowing water, birds and insects singing, and children playing and laughing.

How could Duan Li see this village?

This looking-home platform actually has little to do with the memory of the soul itself, but rather the place where the soul comes from.

Duan Li himself is the reincarnation of Pojun Xingjun. Even if he has not yet returned to his throne and has no memories of the past, what appears on the Home-Watching Terrace should be a scene in the sky.

After all, Duan Li's real hometown should be said to be heaven.

Back then, Qi Wuguo brought Duan Li to Wangxiang Terrace, probably because he wanted to use Duan Li's memories of being in the sky to promote his return to the throne.

However, the scene in front of him is the hometown in Erbao's heart, which is why Duan Li has never been able to return to his place.

Qi Wuguo felt that there was something wrong with the Wangxiang Terrace, so he turned around and looked into the depths of the white mist.

A picture slowly took shape in the white mist.

It was a completely different world. The land at that time was far less colorful than it is now.

There is greenery everywhere, and apart from this, there are no traces of more living things.

On this vast land, humans and gods live on the same land.

Qi Wuguo saw himself appearing in the screen, he was not much different from his current appearance.

He turned his head and saw that Duan Li seemed curious about all this in his eyes, so he casually talked about his own background.

Unlike Duan Li, who is full of domineering Pojun Xingjun, Qi Wuguo was a human being in the beginning, without any supernatural power.

The only special thing is that he is the first human created by Nu Wa.

The first batch of human beings created were naturally more attentive than the later ones.

Nuwa's initial good expectations were poured into Qi Wuguo.He is very different. The human beings after him all live on the land in tribes, and only want to multiply.

Qi Wuguo has always lived in no fixed place. From the moment he became conscious, his idea was to see all the beautiful places on this continent.

They are a group of human beings who have lived on the earth for a long, long time.

In the beginning, human beings, like gods, had an endless lifespan.Human beings at that time did not suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death.

When Nu Wa created human beings, she never thought that human beings are such a weak and powerful race.

The speed of human reproduction was beyond the expectations of all the gods, and their number grew rapidly, and the newly born world could not bear such a large amount of demands.

Wars began among the tribes, and when the war developed, the gods enshrined by the tribes also began to join the war.

The world is in chaos, Gong Gong's anger touches Buzhou Mountain, the pillars of the sky are broken, the dimension of the earth is cut off, and the sky and the earth will fall.

In the end, in order to remedy all this, Nu Wa used her body to mend the sky, thus avoiding the misfortune of returning to chaos in the heaven and earth opened up not long ago by the Great God Pangu.

The ancient gods who remained knew that humans could no longer reproduce at this rate.

Birth, old age, sickness and death, and reincarnation in the six realms are the endings arranged by the ancient gods for human beings.

Qi Wuguo was the first human being to die, and also the first person to come to the underworld.

He was originally going to be the first soul to experience the path of reincarnation, but something went wrong.

As a human being who poured Nuwa's initial good hopes, Qi Wuguo's soul was too strong, and the way of reincarnation that had just formed could not bear his soul, and almost collapsed.

So, he just stayed in the underworld and became the first ghost messenger in the underworld.

After watching these pictures, he felt a little nostalgic.

Qi Wuguo laughed and said, "When Emperor Fengdu took office in the underworld, I was the only ghost in the whole underworld, and there were only a few souls. It was really poor."

"Later, I also thought it was quite boring, so I added some artist's imagination based on some scenes I saw in Yangshi at first, and drew some original design drawings, and the emperor liked it after reading it, so it was finalized... ..."

Qi Wuguo saw that Duan Li was looking at the picture seriously, his eyes were very focused, which made him a little bit interested in showing off.

"Speaking of which, apart from being able to see the scenery of the hometown, this Wangxiang Terrace is also an excellent viewing platform for enjoying the scenery of the underworld."

After finishing speaking, Qi Wuguo waved his sleeves, and the white fog in front of his eyes dispersed, revealing the scene of the underworld.

Beneath the Wangxiang Terrace is the meandering River of Forgetfulness, the Naihe Bridge above the Wangchuan River, and the Ghost Gate Pass in the distance, all of which can be clearly seen from the Wangxiang Terrace.

He said: "When I first came to the underworld, there was nothing here, except Wangchuan."

"At that time, I was shocked. From the world of flowers and flowers, I was suddenly dispatched to this empty place with nothing."

Qi Wuguo spread his hands and said: "There is no way, we have to start from the beginning. Fortunately, after the end of human life, we have to go to this hell."

"Since you come to this place for transit, you should do some work before leaving. Those with strong souls who are willing to stay will become ghost messengers."

He raised his hand a little, and the white mist gathered again, depicting the scene of the underworld.

Qi Wuguo described to Duan Li every detail of how the underworld gradually changed from the desolate scene with only one Wang River to the present scene.

Ghost Gate Pass, Meng Po Pavilion, Naihe Bridge, and Niejing Terrace all appear suspended above the white mist of Wangxiang Terrace.

Duan Li looked at it seriously, and then

Qi Wuguo saw that his eyes were always looking in one direction, so he followed him.

What Duan Li was looking at was the Three-Life Stone. In fact, there is nothing special about the Three-Life Stone.

Qi Wuguo didn't understand why Duan Li was interested in this stone, he asked, "Are you interested in the Sansheng Stone?"

Duan Li stared blankly for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Qi Wuguo smiled, and said: "This stone is actually just a thought for those souls. Those lovers who promise life and death will leave their names on the Sansheng Stone after they make love."

"When you are reincarnated, you will always remember your lover. At this time, go to the Sansheng Stone to see the proof that you have loved each other deeply, and know that your heart is not wrong, and the obsession in your heart will not be so deep. .”

Qi Wuguo looked at the souls hovering in front of the Three Lives Stone, and said, "In this way, many difficult and miscellaneous diseases on Po Meng's side can be solved."

Duan Li watched for a moment, then turned to look at Qi Wuguo, there seemed to be some doubts in his eyes.

Qi Wuguo said: "That's right, this is my suggestion. I'm free to travel around the world. I've seen many things and people, and I've come up with many ways to deal with it."

"After all, there are many deeply affectionate people. Even Meng Po Tang can't dispel their obsessions. It can be regarded as the right medicine."

Duan Li kept looking at the Sansheng Stone, without moving his eyes away.

Qi Wuguo asked: "Why, want to go and have a look?"

Duan Li nodded.

Judging from the intensity and speed of the reaction, Duan Li was really interested in the three life stones.Anyway, he also planned to take the other party to visit the scene of the underworld one by one. Where the other party wanted to go, he should go there first.

The two of them got off the Wangxiang Terrace and soon arrived at Sansheng Stone.

From the Wangxiang Terrace, the Sansheng Stone seems to be just a small piece, but in front of you, it is a huge rock like a small hill.

The whole body of this boulder is black, the top is as smooth as a mirror, and there is nothing.

Qi Wuguo said: "This three-living stone, if a person puts his hand on it, it will reflect the name of the lover who has made a covenant with him and his true love."

Duan Li raised his hand and put his palm on it.

Sure enough, the Sansheng Stone was still calm, without any reaction.

The development of all this was not beyond Qi Wuguo's expectation.

After all, this place is not a real underworld, but a ghost domain space imitated by Duan Li based on his memory.

At the beginning, Qi Wuguo and Duan Li did not make a covenant to stay together forever, and they were not lovers who fell in love with each other. Naturally, their names would not appear on the Sansheng Stone.

Just when he was about to say something, a faint red light lit up on the Sansheng Stone.

Qi Wuguo was startled, and stared dumbfounded at the names of himself and Duan Li appearing on the stone stroke by stroke.

Those two names only appeared halfway, and then the light dimmed.

Qi Wuguo frowned slightly, and understood what it meant.Duan Li regained some consciousness at this time, and after being with him for a long time at that time, he might have some different feelings for Duan Li in his heart.

It's just that at this time, Duan Li has not fully awakened from the chaotic state, and Qi Wuguo was still in a state of ignorance.Only half of the name appeared.

This actually answered the big doubt in Qi Wuguo's heart, he knew what kind of person he was.If Duan Li doesn't take the initiative, even if he has something special in his heart, he will never think of it.

It seems that it was the half name on the Sansheng Stone back then, which made me understand a little bit.

"He...they..."

Duan Li's somewhat hoarse voice sounded, Qi Wuguo came back to his senses, and saw Duan Li looking at the soul hovering beside the Sansheng Stone.

It seems that after seeing this half of the name, Duan Li's consciousness is further cleared.

Qi Wuguo explained: "After seeing the name, some people are still obsessed with it, so they wait here for their lover. After all, when many people die, they will agree to see each other again in front of the Three Lives Stone."

Duan Li didn't speak, his eyes returned to the Sansheng Stone, and he looked at the two half-names very seriously for a long time before he reluctantly put his hand down.

Now that we have arrived at the Sansheng Stone, the judge's mansion is not far ahead.

Qi Wuguo felt that according to conventional thinking, his next step at that time must have been to bring Duan Li to work.

After all, from the place of work, Duan Li can understand Qi Wuguo more comprehensively.

Without further ado, Qi Wuguo led Duan Li to the judge's mansion.

The Magistrate's Mansion actually occupies a large area and is not divided into four almost completely independent parts.

Among the four divisions of Yin Law Division, Chacha Division, Rewarding Good Division, and Punishment Division, the reason why Qi Wuguo chose the Chacha Division was very simple.

The more critical point is that the inspection department does not have many official duties.

It can be seen from the number of ghosts at the gate of the fourth division of the Judge's Mansion that there is a long line in front of the other three divisions, all of which are escorted by ghosts waiting for the trial.

And in the remotest place of the Judge's Mansion, there is Qi Wuguo's Chacha Division.

Most of the ghost messengers of the Chacha Division have the same hours as their bosses, and almost never appear in the Division.

Closed doors are the evidence.

"no one?"

Duan Li seemed to be a little puzzled, and turned his head to look at Qi Wuguo.

Qi Wuguo recalled that when Duan Li was still the King of Anbei, he had a work attitude like a desperate Saburo, and he only slept for four or five hours a day at most.

Qi Wuguo felt a little guilty for some reason. He smiled awkwardly, pointed to the big drum at the door and said, "Departmental systems are different. Generally, people only feel that the previous trial was wrong. The soul can come here to beat the drum after paying some price, and ask the inspector. Intervene in the retrial."

Qi Wuguo raised his chin to signal: "My colleagues are too capable in their work. I haven't played drums for many years. It's not because I'm lazy."

After finishing speaking, Qi Wuguo raised his hand and pushed open the door.

The door of the Procuratorate, which had been dusty for a long time, opened silently to both sides, and closed again after the two entered.

Qi Wuguo led Duan Li, and walked around the office in front of him like a horse watching flowers, and soon arrived at his daily living place.

The living area at the back is completely different from the majesty and coldness of the office area in front.

Everywhere is full of Qi Wuguo's personal style, complete hedonism.

In this underworld, naturally, there is no such distress in the Yangjian.Even though Qi Wuguo hasn't come back for a long time, the place is still as clean as new without any dust.

Qi Wuguo took Duan Li to his study room, in which were all his records after he became a ghost messenger.

After pushing the door open, the inside was empty, without any furniture.

There is fog all around, and the only real thing that exists is the painting floating in mid-air, with no end in sight.

Qi Wuguo said: "This is all the pictures worth remembering since I became a ghost messenger until now."

Duan Li raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch a painting floating in front of his eyes.

In that painting, there is a river with towering cliffs on both sides. On the surface of the river is a lone boat. On the lone boat, there are people fishing.

Qi Wuguo smiled, raised his hand to hold Duan Li's wrist, and said: "It's okay, just touch it and see."

He took Duan Li's hand forward and touched the painting lightly with his fingertips.

Duan Li's fingertips landed on the painting, and ripples spread out around his fingertips.

Water patterns are everywhere, and the surrounding chaotic scene has changed.

An empty space has become a scene in a painting.

Qi Wuguo said: "My way of collecting memories is not bad."

Duan Li nodded slightly, and then looked at one picture after another.He has to touch every painting from the beginning, and only take a look at the latter.

Finally, he stopped before a series of scrolls.

The characters in those paintings seem to be the same person.

From a child with slender hair to a young man who is full of heroism, and then to an adult who is like a mountain.The scenes in the painting also range from the village to the border desert to the scene of the sand field.All the paintings have delicate brushstrokes, and the emotions contained in the paintings break through the paper, which shows the utmost care of the painters.

Duan Li looked at it for a long time, then turned around and said, "This, is, me?"
