VISIT TO THE PRISON OF MOUTH-PINCHING AND TEETH-WEDGING
Narrated by JiGong:
The spiritual path is hardly being observed. Religious persons become more and more scarce. Some hypocrites make believe that they possess a strong faith but in reality, they neglect regenerating themselves. Several fine speakers chatter like magpies, but what they say matches poorly with what they do. They are no better than rootless duckweeds bubbling on water and drifting at the mercy of the winds, which are unable to take root as do rice-plants or trees. Humans are advised to devote their time to self-cultivation. Then, they will progress just as having a good crop every year. But if they neglect the spiritual path toward self-regeneration, they will be like a blind man who solitarily plays his flute in the corner. Once engaged in the path of spiritual perfection, one’s heart must be sincere. The holy scriptures have taught: “those who do good, will gather good fortune in abundance, those who do evil, will reap misfortune to the point of saturation”.
Narrated by JiGong:
Wine cannot cause a drinker get drunk but the drinker gets drunk because of too much wine
Lewdness cannot arouse the desire for women but it is one's inclination that cause lewdness
Money does not run after people, it is people who run after money
Iron Pin Prison
Under jurisdiction of Sixth Tribunal.
The guards forcing the mouths open with iron forks and forcing spiked iron pin cushions into the mouths. All the souls are in great pain that they jump, blood oozing out of the mouths until the souls become unconscious.
A punishment for talking too much, hard mouth.
Offences committed:
1) Sugar coated words to entice women
2) Speak untruths, swindle others
3) Speech like sharp knife piercing the heart of others
A case of a pretty woman
Gift of gap. Impressive eloquence. Beautiful. Married. However, many guys still chasing her. Speak to a rich guy that husband do not take care of her. After obtain much money from the rich guy, she using sharp words to offend and attack him, resulting the rich guy commit suicide. The guy had liberty to take revenge after he died, wrap round her body and die after 7 years of mental torture.
A case of loafer
Took pleasure in taking drugs and like morphine injections. To get money for his purpose, he resort to thieving.
Undergo this punishment to eradicate harmful drugs inside the bodies. Souls cannot be reborn if there is still traces of drugs in the bodies.
A case of scholar
Quote idioms and proverbs readily. Able to convince people to my way of thinking although statement is inaccurate. Often talk on heretical doctrines and quoted the sayings of Sages to slander people. Twisting the quotations of Sages, to do more harm than good.
A case of lender
Lend money at high rates of interest. Charge compound interest. Employ loafers to confront the borrowers who unable to pay back.

VISIT TO THE PRISON OF DRIVER-TEACHING
Under sixth Tribunal. New establishment. Very much like driving institute on Earth. Refresher course.
At hillside, voices crying and calling for help.
These sinful souls previously drivers of motor cars, lorries, riders of motor cycles who involved in fatal accidents causing death of others.
Although punished by human law in Earth, they still undergo punishments in Underworld because causing death and injuries/disability to human beings.
The sinful souls are grouped in large numbers on the slope of the mountain, at a rugged and muddy path. They are restraining with all their might the heavily-loaded antique carts that speed down the slope. The alley is very narrow, providing passage for just two crosswise carts. The slightest lack of care causes the carts to overturn and drag the souls down to the ravines on either side of the alley. Very slowly, the souls try to brake the swift descent of the carts with their heavily torn feet from where blood is flowing on the ground. Some of the souls, for lack of caution, overturn their carts and tumble down to the abyss. Some others are moaning atrociously, lying under the pressure of their loaded carts, because they tripped. Others again are run over by their unmanageable carts and blood is flowing profusely. This is quite an ingenious punishment, but its effect is appalling.
A case of omnibus driver
While rounding a corner, s small girl rushed out from a side lane on to the path of the bus but couldn't stop in time, the poor girl was rolled over and died on the spot.
Also, had involved quite a number of accidents, causing slight injuries to others. Had been sacked by bus company.
A case of taxi driver
Drunk. Drove fast, vision impaired, not full control of taxi, roll over a pedestrian and killed on the spot.
A case of businessman
Riding motor cycle daily to deliver goods. Take pleasure in exceeding speed limit and ignoring road regulations. One day knock down a man, inflict him severe injuries, resulting the victim become permanent nerve disorder.
Narrated by the Prison Guard
The stories of these three souls to remind human beings to be careful when driving motor vehicles, they should value the lives of others as much as their own. To those involved unintentional accidents, the punishment is light. To those involved in deliberate and driving under alcohol, hit and run, not stop and render assistance, the punishment dished out is heavier. Therefore, I advise drivers to stop and render assistance in any accident they are unfortunate to be involved in.

VISIT TO THE PRISON OF KIDNEY-LOPPING AND CASTING TO RATS
Many rats roaming the floor of this Prison causing the pain on sinful souls who are scattered on the floor with hands and feet bound. The souls screaming and struggling hard.
The rats are big as cats and look fierce.
The male souls either:-
1) lewd persons
2) broke commandments of religions
Their penis cut off and the rats attack the remaining roots of the penis in order to cut off the source of their sexual evil. The pain affects the heart terribly.
A case of ascetic believer
Converted to religious order. Decide to obey the commandments and not marry and have children. Some time later, being unable to resist the lust of the flesh, had maintained illicit relations with a religious woman. After death, far from rising to paradise, had been arrested by the black-and-white demons and led to the Memory Hall where been shown to Mirror Revelator of Past Crimes the detailed misdeeds of past life.
After that, was sent to the 6th Palace where the irate King reprimanded in these terms: “As a religious, you were well taught on the religious law, but you violated it. Your sin is all the more grave”, and had been condemned to the prison of kidney-lopping.
First, the soul was castrated by the demons. Then, the soul was tied up and thrown to the attacks of the rats. Every day, the sharp pains of torture render me mad. the soul regret having made a false step that led to eternal suffering.
Advise all those who are converted to the religious way to seriously observe the divine rules. Otherwise, they will obtain no merits after their death, but instead will have to pay for their crimes in hell.
A case of young student
A student of lower high school, was led by bad school companions to patronize the brothels.
Every time the said student had some money, went to those dens. The student encouraged other comrades to join in the adventure with prostitutes. A few of them caught venereal diseases. After his death, was arrested and sent to this prison.
Now spending long months and years of suffering. Too late for repentance.
This Prison cater for:-
1. Those indulged greatly in womanising
2. Those patronising prostitutes before got married
3. Those indulged in enticing opposite sex
4. Those took to clandestine sexual enjoyments after marriage
5. Those entering into religious practices and took to secret sexual practices.
6. Those practice incest
7. Those who rape woman and those who took turns to do so
Before undergo punishment in this prison, also undergo punishment in Heart Wrenching Prison in Fifth Tribunal.
To the one firmly determined to repent and change, He grants a reasonable reprieve. After reading this book on hell, if he has copies of it printed and distributed free to his fellow-beings as a warning, he can obtain partial reduction or total pardon for his sins.

VISIT TO THE 6TH PALACE OF HELL INTERVIEW WITH THE KING OF PALACE (KING BIAN CHENG)
Narrated by JiGong: Human lifespan not very long, in present day, can live more than 70 years old. Heaven does not restrict the lifespan of human beings but because of avarice, alcoholism, night clubs, vice and gambling, human vitality is wasted to a great extent, thus, bringing necessary untimely death. I wish to exhort human beings to take up ascetic practices thereby extending their life expectancy.
Salient points by King Bian Cheng:
The world is in great turmoil.
Therefore, "Journey to the Underworld" to be written for masses. To see the suffering through punishment here.
Nowadays, due to advancement in science, people no more believes in spirits and devils, therefore, we now can see or hear many murders, robberies, treacheries and lecheries throughout the land.
People don't care for the morrow and if they not spotted by Government laws they dare to do anything.
Those human beings who do not believe in existence of spirits and devils, and do not believe in cause and effect, who lead sinful lives, their souls cannot escape punishment in Hell when they die.
The Mills of God grind slowly but surely - Heaven retribution, is slow but sure.
Loud Shrieking Prison - souls that sent here suffer even worse punish than those in Fifth Tribunal. Cater for those souls that committed grave sins and lack of morality.

FOURTH VISIT TO THE PRISON OF HEART-WRENCHING
Narrated by JiGong: There are quite number of people not interested in gainful employment for their own advancement but spend their time in gambling to pass their days. Due to bad contacts, people become useless, squandered their time and thus, lead to series of thefts, robberies and swindlings. Lewdness is most serious as people do not understand the meaning of shame. Some women leave their homes without knowledge of their husbands in order to have sexual enjoyment. This is more or less like the sin of gambling.
Side note: This trip coincide with Hungry Ghost Festival, YangSheng noted many of souls (less sinful ones) in high spirit where the souls (less sinful) enjoying themselves by eating various food offerings and collecting burnt paper money.
A case of a businessman/traveller
Had met undesirable people, addicted to gambling. Gambling everyday, lost a lot, deeply in debt, resulted in unable to give family money and their up-keep. Met accident and resulted in death. Noted the lifespan shortened by 5 years. Had been sentenced 13 years in this Prison.
A case of a housewife
By nature unprincipled and even after marriage, continue to have affairs/association with opposite sex without knowledge of husband. Had heart attack when 54 years old and died. Had been sentenced in this prison for 20 years.
