Chen Ang was unusually calm when he looked at the excited Yi Zhuo who seemed to be holding onto a life-saving straw. "Why don't you look at your merit points and sins?"
Only then did Izhika react. He hurriedly opened his Merit Retribution System, and under the blood-red Sin Value was displayed as 157243. Compared to the original value of 157286, it was only 43 points lower. This fact was like a heavy hand that was tugging at Izhika's heart.
"Why is this happening?" Yi Zhuo was at a loss. "Gentleman Qin, why did my sins only decrease by 43 points after the first tribulation? Can't I pay for my sins after passing the tribulation? Or do I have to use merit points to get rid of the karma? "
Chen Ang pointed at the noble's body that was nailed to the ground and smiled. "Did you forget about this person? If it wasn't for your increased luck, the spear would have pierced your body, and this person wouldn't have died on the spot, right? This is your sin! "
"This is outrageous!" Yi Zhuo was so angry that he was trembling. "This person died in the hands of Sixth Prince Chi Lei. What does it have to do with me? Why do you have to increase my sins?"
Chen Ang was unperturbed as he said indifferently, "This person can be considered to have blocked a disaster for you, so he should pay the price. The heavens have eyes and are the fairest. They only increased your sins by forty-three points, which is already considered generous. This person's sins are not small, and his fate is coming to an end. That's why the heavens used you and Sixth Prince to send him to his death. "
"Besides, this might not be a losing deal," Chen Ang said. "Why don't you look at the merit points again?"
Yi Zhuo subconsciously looked at the merit points in his system. The eye-catching golden merit points showed a shocking number of 343. Yi Zhuo had accumulated more than 70 years of merit points, and he only had 238 merit points. It was obvious that Yi Zhuo was a bad person. After using 100 merit points to increase his lifespan by a year and another 100 to increase his luck, he should only have 38 points left.
But now, his merit points were more than 300 points. How could Yi Zhili not be shocked?
Chen Ang looked as if he had seen through his thoughts and leisurely said, "It seems that the sin of that bastard is indeed not light. He actually allowed you to obtain so many benefits. Unfortunately, you are only an inducement to his retribution. The Sixth Prince, who personally acted, must have gained even more. Unfortunately … he left too quickly and didn't receive the treasure. "
Iziro licked his lips as if he had not had enough. Suddenly, he summoned one of his guards and asked, "Tulou, are you loyal to me? Are you willing to prove your loyalty? "
The dark and skinny guard immediately knelt down upon hearing this and vowed solemnly, "This servant's loyalty to Master can be witnessed by the Gods, and I swear that I will not waver even in death!"
"Alright then!" Iziro's eyes glinted. He raised his hand and pulled out a hairpin that glowed with a faint blue light from his hair. As he helped Tulou up, he stabbed the hairpin into the right side of Tulou's neck. When everything happened, Iziro took a few steps back at lightning speed. He was so agile that he did not look like an old man in his seventies at all.
"Then, you will definitely not refuse to use your life to prove your loyalty!" Iziro said calmly.
Tu Lu's eyes widened in disbelief. After struggling for two breaths of time, he collapsed to the ground, his face livid, and breathed his last.
Iziro wiped his hands with a handkerchief and inserted the bloody hairpin back into his hair. Only then did he have the time to look at the Merit Retribution System. However, after a few glances, he raised his head angrily and said, "Why did my merit points only increase by 200 points and my sin increased by 150 points? I didn't even kill him with my own hands, but I still have more than this!"
"Also, I can guarantee that Tulou is an unforgivable person. I've never seen anyone crueler, more violent, and more vicious than him! Among all my subordinates, he should be the one with the heaviest sin! Far more than this dead man! "
Iziro pointed at the unlucky noble who was pierced through by the bone spear.
Chen Ang said indifferently, "You seem to have some misunderstanding about merit and sin! Old Benefactor! Is there a sin in killing? Of course there is! Killing a good person is a sin, but killing an evil person doesn't necessarily mean that there is no sin! You are guilty of stepping on an ant or pinching a bug to death. "
"Let me tell you, there was a naughty child who killed a nest of ants with his pee, and he was sent to the eighteenth level of hell!
"Because killing is the first sin. Killing, stealing, adultery, lying, and drinking are the five evils. Those who commit these five evils will be burned five times and tortured three times …" Chen Ang told him a few stories. They were all about women who gossiped about others behind their backs. They were sent to the hell of having their tongues pulled out, and those who instigated widows to remarry were sent to the hell of scissors. Those who killed chickens, ducks, and dogs were sent to the hell of a mountain of blades, while those who disobeyed their parents were sent to the hell of a blood lake, and so on.
In the eighteen levels of hell, all of them had to suffer terrible torture because of some trivial matters.
It made people puzzled … Was this hell a place to punish evil people and pay for their karma, or was it a place where gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas took pleasure in torturing all living beings? According to this hell, the torture of evil people in the human world was far less terrifying than the torture of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas!
Not to mention Iziro, even the innocent commoners and poor slaves shivered when they heard this. In the nomadic culture of the Yiqu Kingdom, not to mention widows remarrying, even if one's own father or brother died, one had to consider whether one could still use the stepmother or sister-in-law. The Yiqu Kingdom could not waste resources and people like burying the dead and keeping their chastity.
Moreover, that old man could no longer work! His children were only willing to give him a piece of sheepskin before chasing him out. What's more, he sowed discord and slaughtered livestock. As a nomad, asking him not to slaughter animals was a bit too difficult for him!
If that was the case … everyone here, and even everyone in the Yiqu Kingdom, could not avoid the eighteen levels of hell!
At first, the poor commoners still had the thought of enjoying a good life in the afterlife, but when they heard this, they even wanted their souls to fly away!
From Chen Ang's words, the Tendon Suspending Prison, Youwang Prison, and Fire Pit Prison were all crimes committed in their lifetime, and were punished after death. The Buddha of Spirited Mountain was narrow-minded, the Bodhisattva of Western Paradise was sadistic, and set up prisons indiscriminately. He was violent and crazy, far more than King Zhou of Shang.
The Yidu Prison, the Tongue Pulling Prison, and the Skinning Prison were all because of disloyalty and filial piety, and the Buddha's mouth and the snake's heart fell into this door. Those who contradicted their parents were skinned, and did not starve in peace. Those who imitated the arm of a praying mantis had their tendons pulled out. Those who refused to be blindly loyal and accepted death, and were tortured in every way after death.
The Grinding Horse Prison, the Smashing Horse Prison, and the Bursting Cart Prison were all unjust and deceitful, and slandered others with sweet words. Just because of the right and wrong of the tongue, they had to use a mill to grind, and a cart to crush their bones and flesh into mud.
The Ice Prison, the Skinning Prison, and the Intestines Pulling Prison were all made to bully the stupid, and caused disasters to themselves. But they tied the merchants and peddlers who were short of weight to an iceberg, and tore their human skin apart.
The eighteen levels of hell were all man-eating grounds of the deities and Bodhisattvas, and the little Yanluo imps used them to show off their might. Look at the Buddha, he only sat on the skeleton Lianhua, wearing a human skin kasaya, and said that he was kind. His hands held a metal mill, and he ate people's flesh, blood, and intestines. The four great Bodhisattvas released Dingting, and they tore off large pieces of flesh. They sat on the green lion and white elephant, and they picked their teeth with human bones. They had a thousand hands and a thousand eyes like demons, and they looked at the eighteen levels of hell for fun.
The deities and deities of the three realms had changed their style. Every one of them looked solemn and dignified in front of people, but behind them, they had changed into the style of the evil god Cthulhu.
This was not Chen Ang's empty words. Although he exaggerated, in the netherworld, the eighteen levels of hell were more brutal than this. The Yanluo magistrate also judged cases like this, and that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva might have eaten people before. Dingting and Yanluo of the ten palaces might have had a meal together.
When the Monkey King went to the netherworld, he also saw the common people suffering. It was said that the netherworld rewards the good and punishes the evil, but how much evil could the common people do? But the officials and nobles of the various countries had the protection of the deities and Buddha, and even the King of Hell had to give them some face. The big demon who ate humans by nature was even more unrestrained, and the netherworld could not do anything to him.
In the future, when the Tang Qin King went to the netherworld, there was still Judge Cui who borrowed twenty years of his lifespan, and there were kind-hearted people who borrowed ten treasuries of gold and silver to help him.
As the saying went, the common people were like a furnace, and those with power and influence were protected by the deities and Buddha. It was the same in the heavens, the earth, and the netherworld, and within the three realms.
