The summary is based on what I perceive is 'important' in the book.
Conversation in between Deity JiGong, Yang Sheng and Prison Guard
If there is contradiction of meaning convey, the book prevails.
There are times I might questioning parts of the points inside the book doesn't mean I don't believe it. I need enlightenment on the doubts that I raise.
VISIT TO THE 5TH PALACE THE KING OF PALACE’S ACCOUNT ON THE TORMENT OF CHEST-CLEAVING AND HEART-WRENCHING
Yang Sheng: Deities have power to present at several places at same time but wondering why JiGong not able to make it for last trip.
JiGong: Readers have chance to acquainted with Yang Jian.
Meeting with King Shen Luo, liken to Bao Gong, who stands for justice and fair play.
Narrated by King Shen Luo, present day human beings struggle mainly for fame and money. They don't care for conscience, reason or righteousness which are lost on them. Everywhere one can see deceit being the order of the day. Restaurants, barber shops, night clubs all make use of girls to induce men to patronise them. Officers from Hades constantly visit Earth to record instances of breach of morality and there is no end of such records. Also, there are places where people visit to satisfy their carnal desires e.g. dance halls, houses of pleasure etc, where joy will be followed by sorrow. Human beings advised not to resort to earn money through prostitution otherwise the sins are so great that they cannot be repaid even in 3 generations.
Narrated by King Shen Luo again, He in charge of 5th Tribunal, iron-faced and not ask for gratitude. Every soul come there becomes frightened because sentences imposed are very strict and severe.
