Now I saw his picture....how come he also have an additional eye, just like the Er Lang Shen
ReplyDeleteYes, he got 3 eyes.
ReplyDeleteWhat kinds of punishment do the Deities give out? I know that our own Karma, we go to the hell-realms (DiYu), but that is our own karma's effect. What about the deities? This is very interesting...
ReplyDeleteYes brother, I also would like to know what type of punishment that the deities will get for their wrong doing.
ReplyDeleteDeities punishment is unlike the mortal. Most of them will be resend back to the mortal realm to go they the testing again or having to go thru another round of training before they are able to resume their post.
ReplyDeleteoh i see...
