The divine spirits listen and investigate, recording sins and blessings without regard to noble or base. Six times a month they present reports, and four times a year they conduct reviews. On the days of the four reviews, they always use the eight kings. The days of the eight kings are when the heavenly kings inspect and compare the heavenly populace and their subjects; those with merit have their life extended, and those with sin have their life-reckoning reduced. The allotment of life, whether long or short, does not err by a hair's breadth. The people are blind and ignorant, completely unaware of this themselves; failing to perform good in advance, they are arrested and committed to the hells. (Extracted from the *Jingdu sanmei jing*.)
