十殿阎罗

十殿阎罗 is the ten-court hell-judge system discussed in 136. 春日明媚，聊聊鬼神. The episode says this complete arrangement is not simply copied from Buddhist scripture; it is a Chinese localization that places judgment, punishment, rebirth, and administrative hierarchy into a more elaborate underworld order.

In the source, the ten courts make Afterlife Moral Accounting concrete. The first court receives reports from local gods and bureaus, then determines where a soul goes next. Specific misdeeds - dishonest trade, tax avoidance, selling fake medicine, damaging forests, poisoning fish, or mocking religious mendicants - can receive specific punishments, turning daily ethics into a supernatural ledger.
