I really became a king.

Chapter 198: Measuring the Sky

After knowing the secret of this archway, Jiang Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If he had not discovered the small words recording the [Black Prison Forbidden Hand Technique] and instead stepped into the Black Prison, he might have been imprisoned himself.

Of course, this was the worst outcome he had imagined.

Just as he was about to enter the Black Prison to take a look, Jiang Yi suddenly felt itchy and wanted to try out the forbidden hand technique he had just mastered, and then turned his gaze to a place not far behind him.

At the foot of the Black Prison Mountain behind him, a giant turtle as big as a room stood there. It was the alligator snapping turtle.

At this time, the alligator turtle stretched its neck and stared motionlessly at the Black Prison Mountain behind the archway. Perhaps because the Black Prison Mountain had been completely controlled by Jiang Yi, the alligator turtle no longer had the fear it had before.

At this time, the alligator snapping turtle also noticed Jiang Yi's gaze returning to him, and it lowered its neck and swayed its huge head against the ground, and even its tail behind it began to sway.

But then it noticed something was wrong with Jiang Yi's eyes, and it shuddered all over, turned around and ran towards Qianyun Lake.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll use you to test the power of this forbidden technique..."

Jiang Yi laughed loudly, and while activating the [Black Prison Hand Forbidden Technique], he raised his hand and grabbed the alligator snapping turtle through the air.

The alligator snapping turtle, which had been running faster than a rabbit, suddenly stopped moving, as if it was grabbed by an invisible giant hand. Its body flew into the air, leaving only four thick broken legs, and its head and tail were struggling and swinging back and forth.

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and the huge body of the alligator turtle flew towards the archway.

The alligator snapping turtle's eyes were filled with fear, helplessness and despair, and it looked at Jiang Yi with a begging look on its face.

Having sensed something was wrong, he stopped what he was doing, and the alligator snapping turtle's huge body fell to the ground in front of the archway.

As soon as it landed, it ran impatiently on all fours and ran behind Jiang Yi, but did not escape to Qianyun Lake. Instead, it lay quietly on the ground, rubbing Jiang Yi's trouser legs with its huge head.

"Is this black prison so scary?" Jiang Yi asked.

The alligator snapping turtle's huge head kept nodding like a chick pecking at rice, with a look of fear on its face.

From the alligator snapping turtle's expression as if it had escaped death, Jiang Yi felt that his previous understanding of the Black Prison Mountain must have been wrong, otherwise the alligator snapping turtle would not behave like this.

"It seems that you know something about this Black Prison Mountain..." Jiang Yi looked at the huge head beside his shoulder. Seeing the other party nodded, he became even more curious about the origin of this alligator turtle. How could he know about this Black Prison Mountain?

There must be an ancient heritage. Then he thought of the tree that inexplicably appeared in front of Qianyun Water Mansion, and couldn't help but look at the alligator turtle with a strange look.

The alligator snapping turtle sensed some "deep meaning" in Jiang Yi's eyes, and a look of indecision appeared in his eyes. Then he spat out a piece of jade from his mouth.

"What is this? Is it for me?" Jiang Yi took the jade in his hand and looked at it over and over again curiously.

There was a look of reluctance in the alligator snapping turtle's eyes, and it looked at Jiang Yi with a negotiating look.

As if they had a telepathic connection, Jiang Yi understood the meaning of the look, smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't miss your treasure anymore. Even if it's your Qianyun Water Palace, I won't go in casually without your invitation."

The alligator snapping turtle seemed to let out a long sigh of relief, and then a piece of information came into Jiang Yi's mind, which was about this jade.

"Jade slip?!"

Jiang Yi felt that this world was becoming more and more mysterious. The jade slips in his previous life's immortal cultivation novels actually appeared before his eyes, but he was not too surprised.

After all, the martial arts techniques he had previously taught to his subordinates were similar to the jade slips.

He used the golden figure to engrave the martial arts skills into jade, and then passed the jade to his subordinates.

Moreover, his jade stone for passing on skills is more advanced than this jade slip, and can only be understood but not explained. The person who is taught can only practice it himself and cannot teach it to others. After getting the jade slip, Jiang Yi did not immediately explore and practice it, but spent all his time in the storage ring.

His primary goal now was to understand why the Black Prison Mountain frightened the alligator snapping turtle so much, even though he knew he had no ill intentions and would not harm it.

Jiang Yi patted the huge head on his shoulder, then stepped through the gate of Black Prison Mountain.

Everything went dark before my eyes, and then I entered another world.

"Is this the government hall?"

Jiang Yi looked at the room and felt it was somewhat familiar. It was very similar to the lobby of a government office. There was a plan in the middle and behind it was an armchair.

There was nothing directly below the plan, with only four pillars on both sides. At the very edge of both sides was a weapon rack, with nothing else on it except a row of sticks similar to those used by yamen runners.

And right above the plan and the armchair is a plaque with a blue background, on which are four very familiar large characters: Aboveboard!
On both sides is a couplet: Punish evil, promote good, and punish evil spirits, measure the heavens, the earth, and the hearts of people!
Then in the middle of the plan is a stand with a white ruler on it.

It looks like a rectangular piece of jade, crystal clear, almost transparent, without any impurities in it.

Jiang Yi looked around the room again and found nothing unusual.

"It seems that this ruler is the key to the entire Black Prison Mountain!"

Jiang Yi walked forward without any hesitation and gently grasped the white ruler.

In an instant, a stream of information flooded into his mind, and Jiang Yi also knew the name of the white ruler: Measuring Ruler!

Just as the couplet says, punish evil and promote good, punish evil spirits, measure the heavens, the earth, and the people's hearts!
Any evil spirit or person who has committed the most heinous crime will be exposed under the ruler of heaven.

If it’s hit one foot down, your freedom will be restricted; if it’s hit two feet down, your cultivation will be destroyed; if it’s hit three feet down, your soul will be destroyed!
This is the power of the Measuring Ruler, and also the true horror of Black Prison Mountain.

This is also the reason why the alligator snapping turtle is so afraid to enter it, because except for the master of Black Prison Mountain, any other creature who enters Black Prison Mountain will be judged by the Measuring Ruler.

Anyone who has done anything evil will be punished by the ruler of heaven.

Of course, the severity of the punishment will vary depending on the severity of the evil committed.

The ruler won't care about trivial matters like stealing.

But if one has a life debt or has caused a disaster, he will be judged by the measuring ruler.

In the lightest case, the person will be hit one foot high and thrown into a heavy prison for a period of time; in the worst case, the person will be hit two feet high and his cultivation will be directly destroyed, and he will be imprisoned in a heavy prison for life.

As for those unforgivable and wicked people, once they come in, they will be beaten down from three feet and their souls will be destroyed!
Of course, this automatic punishment is aimed at those who intrude without permission. Once someone inadvertently intrudes, they will be automatically judged by the measuring stick.

This is also the reason why the gate of Black Prison Mountain is wide open and unguarded.

“So overbearing!”

Jiang Yi sighed inwardly, who hasn't done something bad? Especially for practitioners like them, it is normal to take the lives of others.

Once you enter the Black Prison Mountain, you will be judged.

Of course, Jiang Yi, as the master of Black Prison Mountain, is not among them.

This made him feel relieved, but also a little regretful, because he could no longer use the Black Prison Mountain as his own private property.
