Longjiang County

At the bus station where there are not many passengers, a bus that can be seen everywhere has been extinguished and is parked by the side of the road.

On the windshield with the wipers on both sides retracted, there was a white plastic sign with the destination Longjiang County written on it.Inside the car was a driver who had fallen asleep.

The driver's face can't be seen clearly,? You can only see a piece of clothing covering his face.

In addition,? I saw that one arm was worn inside, but the other sleeve was hanging down in vain.

At this moment, the car door opened.A woman supported her lower back, and came up while grabbing one side of the metal pole with her hands.

The driver noticed that her belly was protruding, and his first reaction was to help her.

But soon, a person behind her came up to help her first.

The other party came in time.The driver stopped, and at the same time, he just passed the woman.

The woman didn't look at his face, and walked to the back row.

At this time, the driver looked at the young man coming up from behind.It turns out that this is a young couple.And the two of them seem to be very fond of the newlyweds.

After seeing the young man considerately send the woman to the back row to settle down, the young husband hugged the pair of things they put under the platform several times back and forth.

As far as the eye can see,? This is a pile of luggage.

Among them are some packed textbooks and books, and wrapped clothes.There are also two vases, one green and one hundred, which were individually packed in woven bags and brought up.

The pair of narrow-mouthed and long-bodied bottles are very big, like the kind of old antique decorations handed down in the family. It looks half the height of a person. No wonder the young couple are reluctant to throw them away when they move.

For this reason, the young man also purposely resisted the pair of tightly wrapped vases and the rest of the luggage on the side of the road, one by one, sweating from exhaustion.

"Master, thank you just now."

The sweaty young man thanked the driver.But the driver, whose face was never shown, only signaled no need, and asked again.

"Where did this come from?"

"Oh, I will become parents in a few months,? So I just moved to the local area this time, and I will make my home in the town in the future. I will go to the mountain to worship the Bodhisattva in a few days. I heard that all the masters in the temple not bad."

The young man wiped his sweat, and beckoned to the woman as he spoke.

"Shall we just sit here?"

the woman asked from behind.

"Okay, listen to you."

The young man returned to her.At this time, the woman in the back seat just raised her head.Unexpectedly, this apparently ordinary woman looks beautiful.

At first glance, it looks like a fairy that can't be found in the world.

This is not an exaggeration.

Because this girl has an indescribably refined beauty, which makes the other person's whole body seem to be irrigated with flowers and dew. It is a kind of beauty that makes people unable to move their eyes away once they discover it.

Especially, the other party is about to become a mother, and the demeanor in the downcast eyes becomes softer.

With that long black curly hair and a pair of unique and exotic bird-shaped gold earrings, she is really a fairy like a mural.

"Both parents are talented, and children must be smart in the future."

Because of the woman's appearance.The driver stared at the two of them for a long time like the mortals who saw her, and finally praised them.

"Hey, it's all thanks to my mother's beauty. What kind of talent am I?"

Talking and laughing, the young man is very talkative.

And said a few words casually, the young man didn't talk to the driver, and went to the back row.When he sat down, he supported his wife, and habitually scratched her nose and nagged.

"Can you be careful, I'm going to be a mother soon, don't jump around all day long."

"I don't have it. You are the one who is in charge of things all day long, like an old woman. I dare not walk on the ground, or I will find mountains to practice flying in the future—"

The woman replied reproachfully.But when the young man heard what she said about practicing flying, he hurriedly hissed and motioned her to keep quiet.

After holding down the hands of the two, and looking around them, as a young husband, the young man with glasses exhorted,

"This is outside, let's not talk about it. I forgot that we were almost found out about your real appearance this time, so that's why you moved?"

"Fortunately, your pair of yin and yang gas cylinders have been helping us, otherwise you are pregnant now, and moving this time will definitely be more troublesome than usual."

The two cylinders of yin and yang mentioned in this discourse.

It seems to be the pair of tightly wrapped vases placed under the seats for the two of them.

Because of the dialogue between the two, the pair of vases shone spiritually.This aura corresponds to the tacit understanding between the husband and wife, which seems very clever.

Regarding this, the woman was not weak, on the contrary, she was very courageous and pressed down the pair of naughty vases, and then she replied stubbornly.

"Yes, but I said so. I'm not afraid."

"I don't care what other people think of me as long as you're never as afraid of my appearance and identity as everyone else."

His wife's temper has not changed at all since she was a girl.

In this regard, the young man with a relatively rational personality saw her unable to bear the headache, but he had no choice but to sit by the window, and patiently smiled and said to his wife,

"Yes, yes, I have never seen what you look like, you are the princess of Westbound."

"But going west, we really still have to be careful."

"This place is different from your hometown. Sometimes, if we don't treat people well, they will definitely treat us well."

"People in the world are different from the brother you always talk about and the group of birds. People are very complicated, and good and evil are always between a person's thoughts."

"Even if there are two cylinders of yin and yang that can protect our family, let's never overestimate others, let alone ourselves. Everything is for your safety, okay?"

The young man's words are very complicated.The woman understands a little bit, but doesn't seem to understand.

But when she heard her brother's moment, she still couldn't help but pause, and then looked at the luggage and Aquarius Road they took away for the change of appearance,

"If my brother is really here, we don't need to worry so much."

"Are you thinking about him again?"

the young man asked her.But seeing his wife replied at this time.

"Why wouldn't I want to? For so many years, I have captured so many monsters in the world with the two cylinders of yin and yang, and I have been looking for him for so long, but I haven't heard anything about him until now."

"If he also escaped from those demons in Lingshan back then, why didn't he look for me for so many years?"

"I'm really afraid that he is really gone, but I still don't believe that he really died just like that."

"He, the child, and you are all relatives to me. So no matter what, I will wait for him until I have avenged the gang of demons who harmed Lingshan, and then I will wait for him to come back."

The woman said this very firmly.

It can be seen that she really cares about the brother mentioned in her mouth.

In this regard, her husband also understands her very well, so he comforted her.

"Don't worry, the Buddha is blessing you all in the sky. As long as you can find other monsters who know the whereabouts of each other, there will always be news about your brother. Let's keep looking, don't worry."

The conversation between the two understands each other.

The woman heard that her husband was doing it for her own good, so she nodded.

After that, the bus that only took the young couple on this day drove away, and reached the platform ahead after a certain distance, and then let them get off.

But wait until they got out of the car and left.But at this moment, the old 'bus' that took them all the way here flashed its lights left and right twice.

Then, under people's noses, something unexpected happened.

Because in broad daylight, the destination of this car with 'Longxian' written on the front row turned into 'Yinsi' at this time, and it turned limp and started to glow again.

The light was weak at first, and then gradually brightened.

Following this, the 'bus' changed shape little by little, and after a burst of purple light, it turned into a big golden peacock.

This big peacock is gorgeous and noble.Obviously, it was transformed by the law body of someone.

And with this, the big peacock, which can not only change into a car, but also a bird, is flying around in mid-air.And it fell on the shoulders of a person walking step by step from the light at the end.

At this time, accompanied by the figure that suddenly appeared after the purple light of that person appeared.The figure of the man who turned into a mortal and sent the young couple along the way was revealed.

Who is this person who becomes the driver.

It seems that only Fang Dinghai, who is in this pair of physical bodies at this moment, and through the memory of the other party, who witnessed everything just now with his own eyes, can understand it.

At this moment, through these eyes, Fang Dinghai is witnessing a person's memory with empathy.

This is not the future Longjiang City, but the predecessor of Longjiang City in 196X.

On the premise of not experiencing the great flood after the reincarnation of merits and virtues in the previous life.This place is still just an ordinary and inconspicuous place in the world.

But when Fang Dinghai came from this world to Gu Donglai's past, what the monk saw when he opened his eyes was this scene.

Unsurprisingly, the young couple just now were Wang Zisheng and Garuda, who had not experienced the next dragon lake.

Counting the time, at this time, I was still in the temple of Longquan Mountain, and I had never descended from the mountain in my life.

On Gu Donglai's side, there is also a secular karma about himself.These causes and effects made this truly young King Ming stay in the human world.

But carefully speaking, this was the first time Fang Dinghai knew about it.

It turned out that Gu Donglai had found his sister so early.He even knew that the other party was looking for him, but he never disturbed the other party's life.

This is abnormal and very disregarding.Fang Dinghai thought to himself.

Because in his eyes, it is impossible for a person like Gu Donglai to do anything he dare not do.

He is arrogant and powerful.In Fang Dinghai's feelings for that person all the time, the other party is the kind of existence that is so arrogant that he doesn't take anyone seriously.

Just because he is Gu Donglai, he doesn't have to avoid certain things.

This is also where Gu Donglai's greatest personal charm lies.It is strange to say that the young King Gu Ming in front of him is not the same as the future one.

Just judging from the feeling this body gave him, the other party neither had the flamboyant and exaggerated words and deeds of the later period, nor the ostentatious playboy and rich man's style.

Not only that, but the current him seems to be a little bit wrong.

Then, when the young Gu Donglai raised his hand, he took off the golden mask.

Fang Dinghai knew what was wrong with the other party.

Because through this No.1 perspective, he can vaguely see a flower arm of this Gu Donglai.There are also scars left by burning irons all over the body, even on the neck and chin under the mask.

Fang Dinghai couldn't see what was going on with Gu Donglai's face at this moment.

But he felt that the other person was touching his face.

The man under the mask.Originally, she should have a handsome face similar to that of her own sister.

However, in his physical body, Fang Dinghai can only imagine how many scars there are on the opponent's body and face through the hideous touch on the opponent's fingers.

"..."

These unspeakable scars.

This person's heart is shrouded in a kind of darkness from beginning to end, inferiority complex and sensitivity cannot escape.

Fang Dinghai could feel an emotion spreading in the heart of this always proud man.In other words, a kind of indescribable pain that even the only family member can't meet is tormenting him.

But at this time, the monk just watched the other party slap him on the cheek fiercely.

This time, the long-haired man lowered his head and hit the corner of his mouth with blood.

Immediately afterwards, he punched the transformed stop sign, causing the iron plate on it to bend, and also smashed his own hand.

His character is still so rebellious.But the lips on his face were pale, reflecting the scars all over his body, and his eyes were closed in pain.

The curly hair hangs over his eyes, making it difficult to see clearly from the depths of his eyes. When he covers his mouth that is choking on blood, there are scars on his face and arms, and a smear of blood stains his whole body They all set off the extraordinarily decadent.

Gu Donglai was sad.

And it is an indescribable vulnerability, helplessness and sadness.

Fang Dinghai suddenly realized.

But he curled up his hands, covering his lips, and tilted his head, not wanting people to see more emotions in his eyes.

At the moment, in the mind of the young monk, who was in the opponent's body, with a cold face, but his heart was empty for the first time, memories similar to the destruction of the Lingshan Mountain and a pair of brothers and sisters falling from the sky to the world quickly flashed across the lost memory.

These memories are all from Gu Donglai.

Fang Dinghai has known all kinds of Buddhist scriptures since he was young, and he clearly knows that this is Gu Donglai's memory when he was a demon prince.

Fang Dinghai saw the young Gu Donglai who started to practice alone in the legend from the flashing blurs, and went through countless kalpas to worship Buddhism alone, and experienced countless life and death tribulations.

As for the many things he experienced after the catastrophe in Lingshan, most of them were brought up by himself.

The only thing left is the memory that he was struck by lightning, came to the present world with a broken arm and the entrustment of King Phoenix Ming, and studied Buddhism from the only Ksitigarbha King who was still in the world at that time.

In this memory of Gu Donglai, from the beginning to the end, no other party Dinghai showed his face.

But Fang Dinghai saw the reason why the other party was covered in scars.

Because of the invasion of the eight tribes and the demons.

The Yin Division of that year was far more dangerous and dangerous than the Yin Division of the future. When Peacock was this year, he wanted to go to that place alone as a young man who was similar to his nephew.

What appeared in front of him was the bloody magma gushing from the hells of the ten directions and the evil ghost Shura who was all over the place trying to eat him.

【"Come from the east."】

【"Look clearly at these evil spirits on the ground. If you want to come to study Buddhism, you can only come to see me through this gate of hell. But the underworld is not where you should come now. Demons are doing evil everywhere in the world at this moment, and I have no Fully grasping it can teach you the supreme Dharma, and help you avenge the slaughter of Lingshan.”]

【"When your physical body passes through the evil spirits for the first time, you can only suffer from these inhuman tortures. Is it worth it?"】

This comes from Ksitigarbha admonishing from hell.

This demon prince, who came to the underworld for the first time, grabbed his embarrassing arm and lowered his head.

Fang Dinghai could feel that when he saw those evil spirits and magma, he was not afraid.

But then, determined to go to the underworld to learn the magic of killing and saving the world from the bodhisattvas in the underworld, he still crawled over the burning coals with his hands and feet in shackles.

The pain made the peacock scream.

But under this kind of pain, he still struggled, and while crawling towards the netherworld, he tremblingly propped himself up on the ground and replied,

"Bodhisattva, please let me worship Buddhism, I must worship Buddhism, I must...but I also want to keep my hand."

"It was the hand that hugged Xixing when she was a child, sheltered her from the wind and rain, and picked flowers."

"Those are my wings."

"If a bird has no wings, how can I live as a bird...Let me leave my only hand that can hold flowers."

The burnt, unrecognizable young peacock fell into a sea of ​​blood, and was so painful that he prayed intermittently to the Bodhisattva.

Ksitigarbha had no choice but to agree to him.It was also this act of resolutely passing through the underworld alone that made him truly a Buddhist disciple.

All the suffering that a person has to go through when going to the underworld.

It turned out that this person had already suffered all of them so many years ago.This also explained why he was so angry with Wang Xu last time that he spoke in an extremely bad tone.

At this time, when Fang Dinghai was in this memory, and thinking about how the other person was different from the person he knew, he felt someone coming behind him.

【"King Ming."】

This voice is very hoarse.Following the disappearance of the bus and station transformed by the spell, it turned into two slender shadows behind the man and appeared together.

Odds.Fang Dinghai recognized their identities at a glance.

It turns out that they and Gu Donglai really knew each other a long time ago.Just don't know what the origin is.

But at this time, the monk heard the man who was called King Ming speak again.

"Thank you Ksitigarbha for helping me."

"When this child comes to the world safely, I will keep my promise and stay in hell for the rest of my life to help the underworld to suppress all demons. I will never appear again in the future to interfere in the fate of Gu Xixing and Wang Zisheng."

When he said this, 'Gu Donglai' looked aside without blinking.

Obviously, he has acted quite unruly since he was young, and he doesn't have any respect for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas when he speaks, just a naturally arrogant look.

But his hostility and his perverted and arrogant appearance also made the two of them say something.

【"But have you really thought about it? The suffering of staying in the underworld forever and not being able to see the light for a lifetime is not something ordinary people can bear. Ksitigarbha hopes that you will not always swallow some things for the sake of others."】

This conversation gave Fang Dinghai a pause.

Immediately afterwards, the young monk really heard a secret that Gu Donglai had never told anyone before.

It turned out that Garuda was able to give birth to Wang Xu with her husband in the body of a banshee.It is because of the help of Ksitigarbha.

In exchange for this matter, Gu Donglai had already agreed to Ksitigarbha at that time that he would always help the other party's Yin Division to guard the hell in this life, and would never return to the world to see anyone.

Can guard hell.These four words seem simple.

To someone like Fang Dinghai who knows the real inside story, it sounds extremely dangerous, or something that is impossible for an ordinary person to accomplish.

Because we all know that the last one who promised to God to guard the hell for a lifetime and never return to the world was the Ksitigarbha himself.

According to Buddhist scriptures, Maggallana Bodhisattva, in order to save his mother who has fallen into the evil ghost realm, vowed that the hell will not be empty and vowed not to become a Buddha.

So from then on, his physical body merged with the ghosts, and he could no longer step on the ground in his life.

As long as Ksitigarbha wants to get out of hell in the future.

His body would be burned in blood and magma, and when he passed through these obstacles, he would not be able to see a ray of sunlight, otherwise he would be instantly wiped out.

It is for this reason that no one in this world has ever seen the true face of Ksitigarbha.

After all, even he himself can't make it out of hell one day.

Therefore, the price that needs to be paid is the eternal life that even a Bodhisattva cannot measure with life.But Gu Donglai said it so lightly, as if what he was doing right now was not worth telling others.

"I let her go at the beginning because I hoped that she would live a good life in the world. Now she and the person she loves are enough to have the life they want most."

"This is my personal choice and it has nothing to do with anyone."

"I want to become a Buddha, and I am destined to be alone in this life. I don't need anyone to accompany me to complete this path."

Fang Dinghai could hear every single word in Gu Donglai's mouth.

He suddenly understood Gu Donglai's behavior style all along.Perhaps many years ago, he had actually made his choice, but no one ever knew about it.

【"...Then about the child's name at birth, have you thought about it?"】

【"It was your exchange that made him born, and became the child of Wang Zisheng and Gu Xixing in this life. Do you have a name you want to give him.】

Facing his insistence on going his own way, the bad guys can only say so.

"Let's call him Wang Xu. He is lifelike, just like his mother. Living well is enough."

This year's Gu Donglai answered in this way.It was also here that Fang Dinghai, who had read through this past memory all the way, heard those two errants say such a sentence at this moment.

A word so crucial that all subsequent karma began to work.

【"Okay, then 140 and eight days later, the night when you officially go to the Yin Division to perform your duty of guarding, is the day when this child was born from his mother's womb."】

【"This day is the birthday of Longhu, it is a very good day."】

【"You can also cut off cause and effect from now on, leave with peace of mind, and let Princess Xixing live her life in the world full of children and grandchildren, and spend a lifetime of full moon."】
