Chapter 340: Towards Unity (2)

The suffering of the hungry ghost is slightly less than that of hell, but it is greater than that of the animal road. www.biquge.info If you compare it with intelligence, the intelligence of hungry ghosts is higher than that of animals.

The beings of the Hungry Ghost Dao are born in viviparity, and each fetus will give birth to hundreds of devils. In addition to the common negative karma, the causes of being born in the path of hungry ghosts are also particularly related to the karmic causes of refusing to give to others, stealing, or failing to save people in distress. The life span of sentient beings in this path is uncertain, and some hungry ghosts can live up to tens of thousands of years, and they are suffering from the painful retribution of bad karma for a long time.

The beings of the hell path cannot be seen with our ordinary eyes. The beings of the Hungry Ghost Dao can be seen with the naked eye. Hungry ghosts are scattered in different places, and some are also scattered in the human world. In the city on earth, it is unlikely that there will be hungry ghost beings lingering. But in the wilderness, sometimes at night you see fireballs or firelight, which are the flames that erupt from the mouths of hungry ghosts that linger in the darkness.

Most of the hungry ghosts suffer from hunger and thirst that linger in the dark, and they are also oppressed by the powerful people in their path. They can be divided into three categories: external ghosts, internal ghosts, and eating ghosts.

Because of past karma, the ghost has encountered various external obstacles over the years, preventing him from eating. They have large bellies and never get full. Their feet are so thin that they can barely bear the weight of their bodies like dry branches that are about to break. When they see food from a distance, they stumble and try to move forward, but when they get close to the food, due to their karma, the food becomes inedible, and the drink turns into undrinkable liquids such as phlegm, pus, blood, or urine. In addition, the ghost of the external obstacle will give birth to multiple devils in one child, and the mother of the devil is extremely motherly, and she loves her son as her life, but she cannot find enough food to take care of the child, which only increases the pain.

The cataract ghost's mouth is spewing fire, and its throat is as small as a pinhole, so even if you succeed in finding food, you can't swallow it. Even if they can swallow food, when it enters their stomachs, it will not only not make them feel full, but will cause them to burn and be very painful. Whenever a food obstacle is seen, the food becomes flames, weapons, or all sorts of things that cannot be eaten. When a hungry ghost looks at a river, the whole river dries up, making it impossible to quench its thirst. Why are these unthinkable situations happening? This is because the karma of hungry ghosts and sentient beings is the heaviest and the good fortune is extremely low. The same glass of water, due to different karma and good fortune, heavenly beings, human beings, and hungry ghosts will see it as different things. The beings of the heavenly realm see water as delicious nectar, and the human beings with slightly lower fortune see that the cup is a mediocre glass of water, but the hungry ghosts see it as *! Objectively speaking, this glass of water is still a glass of water, but it manifests itself as something different to different beings according to their karma and good fortune.

If we want to help hungry ghosts, we can practice the method of smoking, feeding and offering (Note: see Venerable Book "Buddha-figure Haihui I") or small casting, and so on. Through the blessings of Buddha power and mantra, the practitioner can turn the smoke or water into food and drink to save hungry ghosts, thus relieving their suffering.

Incidentally, sometimes we hear folklore that people become ghosts when they die, and these ghosts still linger in their former homes for a long time as they did before they died, which is an incorrect folk superstition, and the beings of the Hungry Ghost Way are not the same as the ghosts described in folklore.

Among the six realms, the suffering of the Hell Dao is the most severe, and the "Hell Dao" is just a general term, but in fact, it can be subdivided into four parts: the Eight Hot Hells, the Eight Cold Hells, the Near-Border Hells, and the Lonely Hells. With the exception of the Hell of Solitude, all the other hells are created by the collective collective karma of all beings. Those who create the heaviest negative karma will be reborn in the hell path and will go through tens of trillions of years before they can leave this path.

The beings of the hell realm are not born from the mother's womb, nor from the egg, but from incarnation. Sentient beings who are reborn in the Eight Heaty Hells suffer in all kinds of great ways. In some hot prisons, sentient beings will slash and kill each other, but they will not die, and they can only endure the pain of being killed for many years, and they will not be able to leave at all. In other prisons, severants were burned until they smoked, or they were mutilated, or they were boiled in molten copper until their skin was open and their flesh was rotten. These are all miserable situations that are conjured up when the bad karma of the past matures, and they are unspeakably miserable. In the Eight Great Cold Hells, sentient beings are forced by varying degrees of cold suffering, and may even be frozen and frozen for tens of billions of years, but they will not die because their karma is not exhausted. The sufferings of the other hells will not be described in detail here. In short, the Hell Dao is the most painful of the six realms.

"Uncle, why is there no one in the city?" Lu Wenlong was puzzled, even if it was late at night, it wouldn't be exaggerated like this, right?

"Hmm...... It's a little strange......" Li Shimin fell into deep thought, "The west gate is wide open, but there is no defender, all the houses in the city are blinded, and there is not a single human voice in the whole city......"

"More than that, it seems to be ......" Lu Wenlong suddenly became engrossed, his ears were rolling slightly, and he seemed to hear something.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin didn't notice anything unusual and asked.

"Like...... There is something strange......" Lu Wenlong became more cautious, pulled out his two guns from his back, held them in his hands, and carefully observed the movements around him.

“!” Suddenly, a black shadow flew from the sky, and the more than 100 people were startled, but they felt that they were dazzled, so they asked each other, only to find that not only themselves, but almost everyone found out.

"What the hell?" Li Shimin had a chill down his spine, although he didn't believe in any ghosts, gods and demons at all, but such an abnormal scene still made him suspicious.

"Ahhh Suddenly, a piercing scream came from behind them, and such an oozing scream suddenly came out of the quiet night, which was undoubtedly a challenge to the nerves of each of them.

"Whoosh" Lu Wenlong rushed out as soon as he heard the scream, came to the source of the sound behind him, and looked at it, there was only a corpse on the ground, the abdomen had been hollowed out, and the other parts were intact.

"This ......" Lu Wenlong chuckled in his heart, he was sure that he had encountered something strange now, and looked at the dead soldiers around him, all of them were motionless, obviously frightened by this scene.

"What's going on?" Lu Wenlong asked.

"General, just now I saw a black thing pounce on him, and ......"

"Ahh At the same time, the screams came from the other direction, and without thinking about it, the same thing was definitely happening again.

It happened for the first time, and many people were scared, but they still didn't waver.

But in the blink of an eye, a second incident occurred, and everyone who remained was terrified, thinking that the next one might be themselves, because such a terrible thing happened around them.

"Ahhh Sure enough, at the same time interval, it was still in the blink of an eye, and the third scream sounded.

Now, finally, even the dead can't stand this kind of torture, and many people begin to collapse, running in all directions, crying for their fathers and mothers, without any purpose.

They are indeed dead soldiers, and they are elite dead soldiers, even if they stab them in the stomach with a knife and their intestines flow, they will not cry, but now the enemy is simply invisible creatures, this is beyond their knowledge, and fear is enough to crush them without waiting for death to come.

"Uncle, follow me!" Lu Wenlong rushed to Li Shimin for the first time, after all, Li Shimin is a person who has achieved great things, and he is still very calm, and he also knows that now is not the time to rely on the dead to solve the problem, so he let them flee for their lives.

"Brother-in-law, I suspect that my uncle may also ......"

"Uncle, now we should rush out of the city immediately, Chang'an has obviously become a dead city!" Lu Wenlong didn't say a word, pulled up Li Shimin and ran wildly.

On the way to run, several similar accidents occurred, Lu Wenlong didn't look at it, and rushing out of Chang'an was their goal.

Death continues to spread, Lu Wenlong's foot strength is amazing, and soon, he rushed to the front with Li Shimin, in the process of competing with death for time, everyone burst out with a super desire to survive, because no one wants to follow in the footsteps of those dead.

"Oops......" Suddenly Li Shimin screamed and fell to the ground with a bang.

…………

Outside Xiliang City, Guo Jia and others have set up camp, and Xu Jue has also arrived, Xu Jue knows that this continent is no longer safe from now on after the incident just now, and he may be the luckiest and safest person at present, because of the protection of the immortal general Li Cunxiao, and the disguised god Susanoo, it can be said that everyone else is dead, and nothing will happen to him.

"Fengxiao, let's return to Jianye as soon as it dawns." Xu Qi said.

"Your Majesty, over there in Chang'an?" Guo Jia wondered.

"Chang'an has been controlled by Li Shimin, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are strictly guarded everywhere, and we only have a few thousand cavalry, so we can't attack it."

"En......" Guo Jia nodded.

"I'm going to rest first." Xu Jue smiled, turned around, and walked into his own tent, while the jasper unicorn was at the door, and Li Cunxiao followed Xu Jue in.

"......" Looking at Xu Jue's back, Guo Jia shook his head and muttered to himself, "I always feel that Your Majesty has changed a little when he comes back this time." ”

In the tent, Xu Jue looked at Li Cunxiao and said with a smile, "Immortal General, do you remember your life in the Immortal Realm?" ”

"Hehe, lord," Li Cunxiao also smiled, no different from weekdays, "Remember, isn't the lord curious about why I'm called Tieshi?" ”

"Could it be...... Heart-hearted like stone? Xu Qi teased.

"Ha......" Li Cunxiao smiled dumbly, "Because I am the most powerful general in the fairy world, each arm has a strength of 500,000 catties, and the strength of the whole body is enough to push the small boundary mountain of the fairy world, and it is invulnerable, so it is named." ”

"500,000 jin ......" Xu Jue rolled his eyes when he heard this, paused for a moment and asked, "Then do you know who I am?" ”

"I know, you're from the future." Li Cunxiao replied casually.
