A Sword Breaks the Path of Life and Death

"That's right, I originally planned to bury Su Che in the Taihao Sect. But since you can't stay away from your family, how about burying it on the mountain near your current residence?"

"We don't need you to do too much. You just need to go up the mountain every day, rain or shine, and guard Su Che's tomb for an hour each time. We will arrange the rest."

"Whether this Su Che can survive depends on the will of God, so the time when he needs your help to guard the tomb is not fixed. If he is lucky, it may be months or years. If he is unlucky, he may never be resurrected. already."

"So we agreed on a period of [-] years. If Su Che has not survived within [-] years, then you will lose this favor."

Li Qing thought for a while, then nodded vigorously and agreed, "But is this really useful? Or is it really suitable to find me? I am a person who does one thing and loses another."

"That is to say, in recent years, I am willing to be ordinary and become a woodcutter with peace of mind. Every day I just chop firewood, and even give firewood to my wife to sell. This is not as unlucky as before."

The old man in the mountain smiled, "Resurrection of the dead is impossible, so let you, the one who does one thing and the other loses, come to help, isn't it just a hedge?"

"Anyway, you don't need to worry, it's not you who need the headache, it's me and Li Xiuyi. Both of us are in the field of numerology, and it's rare to get together because of Su Che. Let's see if we can figure it out. [Eight defeats and no results, there will always be one success].”

That is to let a person who has failed all his life finally succeed in one thing.

Li Qing couldn't understand it, but only indicated that he would definitely support it.

At the same time, he also talked about one thing, "Since I married Xin'er three years ago, I have let my appearance change with age."

"And I have also decided that I will grow old with my family, and even die with them. So after a hundred years, no matter whether Su Che can return to the world or not, I will end my life and go to the underworld to pursue my wife and children. Please forgive me for this."

The old man in the mountain was a little surprised. It was the first time he had seen a monk who was willing to give up his longer life than a mortal.

He nodded, "Don't worry, it's just a hundred years, let's see if we can work together to create a miracle."

Chapter 63 The Immortal Soul

The underworld, the eighteen layers of hell.

The eighteen layers are tongue-pulling, scissors, iron tree, evil mirror, steamer, copper pillar, knife mountain, iceberg, oil pan, cattle pit, stone press, mortar, blood pool, death in vain, torture, volcano, stone mill, Saw hell.

In every level of hell, there are countless ghosts screaming and screaming without interruption, so it is called the endless hell.

Just beside the tongue-pulling hell, there is a fortified Buddhist temple, and the sound of chanting sutras is faintly heard from the Buddha temple, flowing to each of the eighteen layers of hell.

If an evil spirit hears the sound of the Buddhist scriptures, I wish to have a good heart and devoutly follow and recite it when they are tortured.Then in the future, after the sins have been redeemed to a certain extent, he will have the opportunity to be liberated from the eighteen layers of hell and enter reincarnation again.

The person who recited the sutra was naturally Ksitigarbha King Bodhisattva. He was a woman named [Light Eyes] in countless kalpas in the past. Her mother fell into hell and suffered after her death because of too much murder.

Guangmu couldn't bear the torture of his mother, so he devoutly recited the Buddha, made offerings to the Three Jewels, and vowed to save all sentient beings suffering from sin.

Later, the mother of Light Eyes was liberated from hell, and Ksitigarbha, who had become a bodhisattva, even made a grand vow: If hell is not empty, I vow not to become a Buddha;

Because he has stayed in this hell and never left, this Bodhisattva has become the only one under the "sudden" Jedi Tiantong, who is still in the underworld. Locked in Western Elysium.

As for why he was a woman when he was a mortal, but became a man when he became a bodhisattva.

On the one hand, many bodhisattvas have both male and female appearances, and whichever is convenient for missionary use, they do not stick to it.

On the other hand, early Buddhism believed that "the female body is filthy and dirty" and it is impossible to become a Buddha.Later, with the rise of Mahayana Buddhism and the change in the internal ideology of Buddhism, it was believed that women can become Buddhas too, but the way to become Buddhas is generally [turning women into men].

The most classic is the story of the dragon girl who became a Buddha in the Lotus Sutra.

This is about the fact that King Suojiluolong had a daughter, Fang Fang, who was eight years old and smart.Manjushri Bodhisattva knew the dragon girl. At a Buddhist meeting, he told Zhiji Bodhisattva that the little girl could become a Buddha in the future through the practice of the Lotus Sutra.

This Wisdom Accumulation Bodhisattva and Sariputta on the side were suspicious, saying that "the female body is dirty", "the body has five obstacles" and so on.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the dragon girl suddenly appeared. She first presented an orb to the World Honored Buddha, who was sitting high on the head, and the Buddha accepted it calmly.

Then she asked Zhiji Bodhisattva and Shariputra: "I present the jewel to the Buddha, is the Buddha's movement fast?"

Both nodded, "Soon."

So the dragon girl said again: "I became a Buddha faster than this."

Then, under the attention of everyone in the Buddhist Association, the dragon girl suddenly became a man, and directly became a Buddha on the spot.

Wisdom Accumulation Bodhisattva and Shariputra were silent, and believed and accepted.

......

Su Che came to this Buddhist temple called [Cuiyun Palace] and knocked on the open door first.

"The Son of Heaven, please come in, you don't need to be polite." A gentle male voice came out, so Su Che stepped inside, and in one step, he reached the main hall, where he saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the divine beast under his seat.

Ksitigarbha King is a man with soft facial features. He wears a Pilu crown and a red cassock. He holds an orb in his left hand and a tin staff in his right hand. He sits on a thousand-leaf green lotus flower.

At this moment, although his lips did not move, there was a sound of chanting sutras from behind him, and the chanting was naturally the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Vow Sutra".

Di Ting is a white auspicious beast with a tiger head, one horn, dog ears, dragon body, lion tail, and unicorn feet. It looks a bit like a lion. At this moment, it is lying under the scripture table in front of the Bodhisattva.

Seeing the arrival of the Son of Heaven, Hearing, who was still yawning, immediately got up and saluted, and then sneaked behind the Bodhisattva to continue to sleep in.

Su Che just smiled. He looked at King Ksitigarbha and asked, "During the years I've been gone, has the Bodhisattva encountered any thorny problems in the underworld?"

"Everything else is fine, but there is one thing. The Hades under the Son of Heaven should have also reported to you about the ghosts of the immortal world." King Ksitigarbha looked a little cautious when he spoke.

Su Che nodded, "There must have been an accident in the fairy world. The Jedi has been in heaven for more than three thousand years, and it was fine in the first 2000 years. For nearly a thousand years, there have been immortal souls who have fallen into reincarnation and entered the underworld."

"And their souls are pure white as paper, as if their memories have been washed away in advance, like drinking Meng Po soup."

King Ksitigarbha took over and said, "During the time when you went to the human world, this phenomenon was especially serious. In the past, there were only one or two sporadically in the past [-] years. But recently, such souls have appeared almost every year."

"Does this mean that the situation in the fairy world is getting worse now?"

"Perhaps, in recent years, have there been any souls who have come down from the Western Paradise?" Su Che asked.

King Ksitigarbha shook his head, "No, although there are a few Buddhist arahants and vajras in the dead, they all came from the immortal world, and they don't carry the breath of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

The Immortal Realm and the Pure Land of Bliss are not the same world, but since the Great Desolation was broken, the Paradise of Elysium, which was originally located in the western part of the Great Desolation, has also moved out of the human world.

For the sake of convenience, the World Honored One put the Paradise of Bliss to the west of the Immortal Realm, so the two were at the same latitude, and it was precisely this latitude that the Jedi Heavenly Pass was cut off.

"Then it seems that your side of Buddhism is fine, mainly because something happened inside the fairy world..." Su Che pondered for a while, and continued: "Don't worry about this for now, I will let the Tenth Temple, Yama, send it normally. They'll be fine."

"In addition, during these 200 years, I will try to break the Jedi Tiantong. No matter what happens in the fairy world, there must be a result."

After saying that Ksitigarbha King was surprised, Su Che continued: "But I have a problem now, and I want to ask your opinion."

"On the premise that the Three Realms are cut off, is there any way for me to connect with people in the world in the underworld?"

King Ksitigarbha wanted to ask the other party if he wanted to return the sun, otherwise it would be impossible to get it done in such a short period of time.Now that Su Che asked, he was even more sure of this idea.

"Usually, there is almost no way to do it. But it just so happens that I recently received some messages from the world. Maybe the cloudy day can be used as a reference." King Ksitigarbha said with a smile.

Su Che was a little surprised, "How did you receive this...Wait!"

What did he think of, is it through a special channel between believers and gods and Buddhas?Or a channel of belief.

Chapter 64?? Great wishes can't be made indiscriminately

When a believer prays silently in the face of the god/Buddha statue, or even just needs to recite the name of the god in his heart, his words can be conveyed to the ears of the god and Buddha.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for gods and Buddhas to listen to them one by one and to fulfill the wishes of believers one by one.

Usually, this part of the function is represented by the godhead. If a believer mentions some keywords that gods and Buddhas are interested in, then the godhead will notify his master.

At this time, the gods and Buddhas will personally read the relevant prayers and listen to them.

Jedi Tiantong does not seem to be completely blocked. This part of the channel of belief communication, even if the gods and Buddhas in the sky cannot respond to their believers, but they should be able to hear, in fact, they can hear.

Why hadn't Su Che discovered this before?Because he basically has no believers in the world, naturally he will not think about this...

Oh no!There is one, that girl in the second fairy world, called Yu Shu, that silly girl still wants to be a saint.

At that time, Su Che only observed the two brothers and sisters Yu Shu and Yu Yan as the sons of luck in the second fairyland.Later, when saving people, he buried a chess piece, thinking that in the future, he might spread the belief in the Son of Heaven in the Second Immortal Realm.

Of course, this future is far away, and Su Che didn't think about it at all at the time.

Even now, it is the first goal to get through the road to immortality, and everything else has to be postponed.

But now that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva mentioned it like this, Su Che was very fortunate, and fortunately did more things.

By the way, has Yu Shu been praying these days?

Thinking that Su Che retrieved the records in the Godhead, he usually shields this thing, otherwise, there are thousands of voices praying in your ear anytime, anywhere, it is really unbearable for ordinary people.

After checking Su Che, she found that the little girl was quite pious, and she basically prayed once a day.

She will also share her daily life by the way, such as promotion, brother is too stupid, flowers are blooming, etc., and she completely uses the statue of Yin Tianzi as a "tree hole".

But it was one thing for Yu Shu to pray, and whether Su Che could answer her was another.

At present, Su Che has tried it, and the result is... can't.

This was as expected, so Su Che looked at Ksitigarbha, "What does the reference the Bodhisattva mean?"

King Ksitigarbha didn't explain, just waved his tin stick gently, letting the voice of one of his followers sound in the hall.

"The World Honored One, I would like to make a big wish. If Su Che can still return to this world, Lan Yin will make my Buddhism prosper again in this world."

The female voice repeated, sounding very pious.

In fact, Su Che only listened to the beginning, he couldn't help but want to cover his face, he even wanted to shout: Stop!Don't play it anymore!

But for the sake of his basic face, Su Che still tried his best and listened to the whole process with a blank expression.

After confirming that His Majesty the Son of Heaven in front of him understood clearly, King Ksitigarbha stopped the voice, he said with a smile: "It means nothing else, I know that Gods and Buddhas can't respond to believers, but I just think that the Son of Heaven can go in this direction. Find a breakthrough."

"Then the content of this voice is what the poor monk wanted to talk to you a few days ago."

"This bhikkhuni named Lan Yin is the reincarnation of the Buddhist girl who begged for death for all living beings more than 4000 years ago. It is a pity that the Buddhist girl died back then. If she did not die because of this, she would have a bright future in the future. under."

"After being reincarnated again and again, she finally re-entered Buddhism in this life, and she also had a lot of entanglements with the emperor's two lives in the world."

Su Che nodded slightly, "Then what?"

"Then what I want to say is that such things as wishing can't be hairless, especially for us Buddhists. That girl Rin should know this very well, but she still swears like this, which proves that she cares very much. you."

"Stop." Su Che finally raised a hand, "Can you go straight to the point?"

King Ksitigarbha smiled and said, "Okay, the poor monk will find a way to help you return to the sun, or even try his best. As long as the emperor can return to the world, then the poor monk has fulfilled the conditions in his wish. Because of him, he should shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing Buddhism."

Then because of the relationship between Lan Yin and Su Che, how could Su Che, the cloudy child, have to help?

Of course, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not say the latter sentence, and everyone knew it. Anyway, it was me who helped you, and you helped me like this.

Su Che was speechless, "Do you really think Lan Yin is a fool? She herself hopes to revive Buddhism, and even told me more than once, so she can only lie to you if she makes a big wish."

In fact, according to Tao, Lan Yin prayed to the World Honored One, but because she also recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra, she also passed it on to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva by the way.
