SONGDI WANG
Chinese Underworld God
Also known as King Songdi, Songdi Wang, Sung-Ti-Wang, Yu Songdi
Wielder of the Black Rope
Ruler of the Third Court of Diyu, the Chinese Hell.
Here you’ll find the punishment of the Black Rope, where escaped prisoners, drug addicts, blasphemers and murderers are hung upside-down. That might not sound too bad, until you discover that crushed knees, skinning and eyeball torture are part of the bargain.
Songdi Wang also punishes tomb raiders, who are slowly fried over a copper griddle. Lara Croft had better watch out.
