Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 253 End of Performance
When Shi Fei arrived in front of the King of Hell's Palace, he saw a magnificent green-tiled building. The building was so high that it seemed to be connected to the sky, and it was magnificent.

The monster head decorations on the eaves glowed faintly in the dark underworld, and the stacked tiles were as dazzling as the feathers of mandarin ducks, adding a bit of majesty and mystery to this gloomy underworld.

There were several red-gold nails nailed on the door, and the threshold was made of a whole piece of pure white jade, as smooth as a mirror.

On the left side of the gate, a demon soldier with a bull head had a ferocious face, towering horns, and a burly body, which was swinging violently. On the right side of the gate, a demon soldier with a horse face had a ferocious face, with his horse ears erected, holding a long halberd, and looked majestic.

On the balcony hangs a golden plate that conveys the souls of the dead and sends the ghosts home. Below the golden plate hangs a white silk cloth that leads the souls and flutters gently in the wind, as if silently telling the fate of the dead souls.

This is the Palace of King Yama, the core of the underworld.

In front of the Hades Palace, the ten Hades had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Shi Fei, they bowed in unison and said respectfully, "Greetings, Immortal!"

The vision of the Ten Kings of Hell was naturally much more discerning than that of the Black and White Impermanence. They could tell at a glance that Shi Fei was neither yin nor yang, neither a living person nor a dead person, and his aura was mysterious and unpredictable.

It is not in the Book of Life and Death, and its power is mysterious. If it is not an immortal, then what else could it be?
"Oh! You're so polite!" Shi Fei saw the Ten Kings of Hell coming to greet him and said politely, "I just came to take a look at the Book of Life and Death. How could I alarm you, the Ten Kings of Hell?"

"Take a look at the Book of Life and Death?" The Ten Kings of Hell looked at each other.

The Book of Life and Death is one of the greatest treasures in the Three Realms. How can you just read it whenever you want?
Shi Fei saw their hesitant expressions and asked, "Why? Can't we watch?"

King Qin Guang is worthy of being the leader of the Ten Kings of the Underworld. He smiled slightly, and said respectfully but appropriately: "Please forgive us! The Book of Life and Death is a treasure of the Three Realms. In principle, the Book of Life and Death cannot be viewed by anyone at will!"

As we all know, in principle it is not allowed, but it is possible!

Shi Fei nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Please come in!" The Ten Kings of Hell invited Shi Fei to the side hall next to the King of Hell's Hall, and said to Cui Yu, "The Immortal is our honored guest, you must treat him well!"

Afterwards, the Ten Kings of Hell bowed to Shi Fei and said, "We still have official business to attend to. Please feel free to do as you please! Treat this place as your home. If you have any problems, just contact Judge Cui."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Shi Fei said to them with a fist salute.

After the Ten Kings of Hell left, Cui Yu asked the ghost to serve fragrant tea, and then took out a book.

"My Lord! There are many strange things in the netherworld. Some people with good intentions have recorded them. They are quite interesting." Cui Yu said, "I wonder if my Lord is interested in seeing them?"

"Of course there is!" Shi Fei saw that the book looked thin, but in fact it was full of ghostly aura, with the flow of life and death, which was quite mysterious.

"Please take a look at it, Immortal!" Cui Yu handed the book over with both hands.

As soon as Shi Fei received it, he felt that the book was very heavy. He opened it and saw that it was divided into several categories: naked worms, caterpillars, feathered worms, insects, scales, and monkeys.

Animals without hair, feathers, scales, or armor are called "naked worms". Humans are also naked worms and are regarded as the king of naked worms.

Therefore, when Shi Fei opened the category of naked worms, he saw all kinds of living creatures.

"Liu Xuewen, a native of Cao County, had no children and died at the age of 28..."

"Wang Dahu, a native of Mingzhou, had no sons or daughters, lived to be forty-six, and died a violent death..."

"Xue Jiu, a native of Langya, has two sons and one daughter, four descendants, lived to be sixty-eight, and died peacefully..."

Each record records in detail a person's life span, birth date, life experience, fortune, etc. A person's life seems to be arranged clearly. Unless they die on the spot due to natural disasters or man-made disasters, their souls will return to the underworld when the time comes according to the records in the Book of Life and Death.

Under the Book of Life and Death, people no longer seem to be living individuals, but arranged programs that run mechanically. Only those who die suddenly seem to have a bug, wandering on the road to the underworld, unable to move forward or backward.

The operation of heaven's laws can be seen from the Book of Life and Death.

Only by becoming an immortal can one escape from this endless cycle of reincarnation, just like getting out of the sea of suffering of reincarnation.

"Ah!" Shi Fei looked at it for a while, sighed, closed the Book of Life and Death and said, "When did the Book of Life and Death come into being?"

"I don't know." Cui Yu said, "It should have existed since the creation of the world, right?"

Shi Fei nodded thoughtfully, returned the Book of Life and Death to Cui Yu and said, "Thank you for your help!"

"Hey~ It's no problem for the Immortal to be interested in the wonders of the underworld?" Cui Yu waved his hand and said.

The Hades Palace would definitely not admit that Shi Fei had read the Book of Life and Death, as the Book of Life and Death only read the strange things in the netherworld. This not only maintained the face of the underworld, but also satisfied the requirements of the immortal.

Otherwise, if the immortals get angry and cause chaos in the underworld, wouldn't that make the underworld appear incompetent?
He who knows the current affairs is a hero!

Eight hundred years ago, a monkey came and not only beat them up, but also changed the book of life and death. In the end, when they saw the monkey, they had to politely say "Grandpa Great Sage"!
The beating they received was in vain!

In the Three Realms, the arm cannot bend the thigh. They all understood this principle long ago.

It is like the Book of Life and Death. Those who can read it can read it at will, but those who cannot read it will never see it in their lifetime.

I don’t know which big boss’s vest this person in front of me is. He can do whatever he wants to avoid humiliating himself!

So after seeing Shi Fei finish reading the Book of Life and Death and leave the Hall of Yama, the Ten Yama Kings all felt relieved.

I'm afraid that most of this storm is over, and now all that's left is to finish the final act.

The ten of them, carrying the jade disc, hurried from the underworld to the South Heaven Gate, which was covered with rosy clouds. After greeting the guard of the South Heaven Gate, Guangmu Tianwang, they walked towards the Lingxiao Palace.

Naturally, they wanted to report that Shi Fei had disrupted destiny!
When the Jade Emperor, the most holy and benevolent being in the sky, gathered the civil and military officials for the morning court in the Lingxiao Palace, he saw the Ten Kings of Hell making a report together.

The Great Celestial Venerable took the jade disc from Taibai Jinxing and read the memorial, which said that a person who was not in the Book of Life and Death had appeared in the world, acting recklessly, disrupting the destiny of heaven, and interfering with the cycle of life and death.

After reading it, the Great Heavenly Venerable was amazed.

There aren't many people who are not on the Book of Life and Death, right?
Whose hand was it this time? Why didn't he let him know?
"I already know that the Lord of Hell has returned to the underworld!" said the Great Celestial Lord, nodding slightly.

The ten kings of hell bowed their heads in thanks. They knew that their part in the play was over!
The Great Heavenly Venerable looked around and told the Ten Kings of Hell about the memorial, then asked, "Do you know who this person is now?"

All the civil and military officials had been gods for who knows how many years, so they knew all the twists and turns involved.

Although they were surprised, they all shook their heads.

How could they get involved in such a matter?
