PINGDENG WANG
Chinese Underworld God
Also known as King Pingdeng, Lu Pingdeng, P'ing-Teng-Wang, Pingdeng Wang
Ruler of the Iron Web
Ruler of the Ninth Court of Diyu, the Chinese Hell.
Here is the Hell of the Iron Web. It appears to be a wire mesh upon which you are trapped while Pingdeng Wang reviews your case. All the evidence is gathered, and your degree of penitence judged.
If you have committed one of the Ten Unpardonable Sins, there’s no hope. You are stuck in Diyu forever. And a particularly nasty bit of it too. Otherwise you are sent to Zhuanlun Wang in the Tenth Court for rebirth in a manner appropriate to your karma.
By all accounts, Pingdeng Wang is a fair-minded judge. This is a comforting thought. Although after all that punishment there may not be much of you left to judge.
