Chinese myths say that in the underworld there are ten courts that judge the souls of the dead. These courts are headed by the god Yanlo-wan. He investigates how much good and how much bad a person has done throughout his life, and then sends him to other gods for punishment in the underworld. Eight kings of the court courts punish souls, and the ninth ruler determines which body each soul will inhabit at the next birth. Horrible torture awaits the criminals. If an official did not work well, then he is forced to swallow molten gold, and the worst criminals are dipped in boiling oil!
