The Hell Scroll in Tang Gui 2 is a visual epic of the underworld!

In Tang Gui 2, Qin Xiaobai is based on Wu Daozi, a famous painter in the Tang dynasty. His Hell Scroll is very lifelike. However, greed, anger, and hatred are more terrifying than ghosts and gods. The belief in the Ten Kings of Hell began in the late Tang dynasty and the Five Dynasties. Monk Daoming of the Tang dynasty was the first to sing about the Ten Kings. Cave 2 of the Maijishan Grottoes was built during the Northern Zhou dynasty. The murals depict the Ten Kings and hell, which are unique themes among the late murals of the Maijishan Grottoes. After death, the deceased will be judged by the Ten Kings of Hell. The first seven days are judged by King Qinguang, the second seven days by King Chujiang, the third seven days by King Songdi, the fourth seven days by King Wuguan, and the fifth seven days by King Yama. The Qing dynasty murals in the Maijishan Grottoes depict the Ten Kings of Hell judging the dead. They include terrifying scenes of punishment in hell, such as entering the gates of hell, climbing a mountain of knives, being boiled in oil, and being ground on a millstone.
