Chapter 600: The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety
After returning to the Holy Sect, I first came to see Zhou Chan, Zhou Chan was still that sickly, and even had to be served by people to drink water, but fortunately, Li Ruofan was idle and could take care of it, otherwise Zhou Chan would have been pinched to death by his big hand if Lei Shan came.
Zhou Chan's eyes instantly moistened when he saw me, and his face was excited: "You're back." ”
"I'm back." I clapped his hand and said, "I'll go down to the underworld to find Judge Cui to revise the life and death book for you now." ”
"I'm sorry for you." When he said this, his eyes looked at Li Ruofan.
Li Ruofan took out a milky white jade pendant from the drawer in Zhou Chan's room very well, and this jade pendant did not have any variegation.
Zhou Chan said: "This is what my master passed on to me when I was a child, and he said that if I am in trouble in the future, I can take this to the underworld to find the Great Compassion Jizo King Bodhisattva, you can take it." ”
"Hmm." I put the jade pendant in my pocket.
Going to the underworld is not as simple as going to the vegetable market, I need to do everything to prevent the possibility of accidents, I locked myself in the study alone and told Yin Xiujuan that no one can open the door.
After arranging everything, I sat cross-legged and closed my eyes, this time I went down to the underworld and did not go down with my body, only the soul went down is enough to show my sincerity, isn't it?
As soon as I arrived at the Death Stack, Bai Wuchang appeared beside me, he glanced at me and said, "You have not finished your life, what are you doing in the underworld?" ”
"I'm the Holy Sect Ghost Emperor, you shouldn't have any opinions when you come to the underworld, right?"
"No, the King of Jizo Bodhisattva already knew that I was back, and specially ordered me to pick you up here."
"Then there will be labor."
"Let's go." Bai Wuchang snorted coldly, as if the appearance of my hippie smile made him very unhappy.
He drove me to Judge Cui's Soul Peak again, and after I got out of the car, he said: "The Bodhisattva King of the Earth is talking to Judge Cui, you go up, it just so happens that the two people you are looking for are here, I won't wait for you, you can go through the ghost gate and leave by yourself after a while." ”
"I'm tired."
After saying that, I quickly went up to the Judgment Soul Peak, and the ghosts on the road did not stop me, and after I arrived in front of Judge Cui's gate, I knocked on the door.
The door opened automatically, and Judge Cui's voice came from inside: "The Holy Sect Ghost Emperor came from afar to miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”
"Judge Cui is serious." I said as I walked inside, "I'm just a junior, if Judge Cui can let me in, it will give me enough face, besides, how can I dare to say bad things about you?" ”
After saying that, I had already arrived in the lobby, and at this time, the Jizo King Bodhisattva was consulting with Judge Cui about something.
I knelt on the ground and said, "I've seen the Jizo King Bodhisattva." ”
With a slight wave of the Bodhisattva's hand, I was helped up by a gentle force, and he said, "You are here for the longevity of Zhou Chan." ”
"Yes, I don't know what you think, Bodhisattva?"
"Hahaha." King Jizo Bodhisattva laughed, he looked at Judge Cui and said, "What do you think? ”
"The world is going to be in chaos, and Zhou has been practicing meditation for more than 30 years, so I can fill in some longevity for him."
"How much?"
"Why don't you get a kiki?"
"You have an idea, I came to you today to wait for Qiu Yan to appear, and I have something to discuss with him."
"Bodhisattva, please." Judge Cui stood up, "As for Zhou Chan Shouyuan's matter, I will add it to him within three days." ”
"Hmm." Jizo King Bodhisattva hummed, and then I felt that the picture in front of me changed instantly, and the two of us had arrived at the foot of the Judgment Soul Peak.
The Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth looked at me with a smile: "In the Tower of Babel, Mao Feiyu has shown you the world envisioned by Peng Zu. ”
"I've seen it." I'll be honest.
King Jizo Bodhisattva said, "How are you going to solve this matter satisfactorily?" ”
"Only the root cause can be eliminated."
"Deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor?"
"Hiss-" I took a cool breath, then looked at the Jizo King Bodhisattva and said, "I have been known as a master and apprentice with Peng Zu, and it seems that I have also bowed to him, what does the Bodhisattva mean?" ”
"Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?"
"As far as I know, no, the only way now is to choose one of my master in the world, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, does the Bodhisattva have a way to achieve both loyalty and filial piety?"
"I have to ask you, aren't you afraid that you will be punished by God for deceiving your teacher and destroying your ancestors?"
"Don't be afraid, if you have to choose one between the two, then I will definitely sacrifice the ego, deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, back then the Bodhisattva, you made a grand wish that hell is not empty and will not become a Buddha, can't I follow the Bodhisattva's example of sacrificing the ego to save hundreds of millions of living beings?"
"Yes, but you have to think about it, this thing is no better than anything else." King Jizo Bodhisattva kindly reminded again.
"By the way, Bodhisattva, this is what Zhou Chan asked me to give to you." I took the jade pendant out of my pocket.
The Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth accepted it very easily and indifferently and said let me go back and prepare for everything that will come next, but think twice about everything, and since I am ready to sacrifice, then don't regret it.
Subsequently, I was sent back to the yang world by the Jizo King Bodhisattva in a daze.
It was already midnight after I opened my eyes, I opened the door of the study, went to the kitchen to get some bread, and was just about to go back to the study to make up for sleep, Yin Xiujuan opened the door of the bedroom downstairs.
She poked her head out and said, "You're back?" I thought it was going to be a few days. ”
"How long have I been there?"
"It's just a few hours." She glanced at the bread in my hand and said, "Don't eat that, I'll make you some food." ”
"Okay." But I swallowed the bread in a few bites.
After Yin Xiujuan cooked the meal, I took a few more bites, in fact, I also knew that she didn't mean whether I was hungry or not, but what I knew when I went to the underworld this time.
Sure enough, when I was about to finish eating, she said, "What did the King of Jizo Bodhisattva tell you this time when I went to the underworld?" ”
"Regarding the troubled times of Peng Zu, the Bodhisattva asked me how to choose."
"What about your answer?"
"I decided to sacrifice my ego to save everyone, and all of you include all of you, but since I choose to protect you, I will kill Peng Zu, who is my master, so the Bodhisattva asked me if there is a way to achieve both loyalty and filial piety, and I said no."
"That's all?"
"Hmm." I lowered my head, took two more bites, said sleep, and dragged Yin Xiujuan into the room.
The next morning, I woke up early, pushed her away like an octopus, and found the clothes I had left on the floor and went out.
After coming to Zhou Chan's house, his face had improved a lot, and he was sitting in the courtyard meditating.
