It was not the Bodhisattva who came out of the door, but Zhao Yuan. When he saw us, he stood by the door with his head bowed, and made a gesture to invite people in, and said:

"Several, the Bodhisattva is in the hall, please come in, please come in."

Liu Mofei stood up first, also stood beside Zhao Yuan, and looked back at me and Lin Jiao. When things got to this point, there was nothing to think about, I looked back at Lin Jiao and said softly:

"Let's go."

Lin Jiao has always given me the impression that she is decisive and neat, but at this time she is embarrassed. I've never seen her hesitate so much, in fact, I don't have the bottom in my heart, but I can't hide from this matter, and I see that Lin Jiao is not at the bottom than me, so I have to be big! Smiled at her:

"It's okay, it's me."

After speaking, he turned around and pulled Lin Jiao into the temple gate.

It's the first time I've entered this small compound, and it's really ordinary. There was nothing in the courtyard, the ground was tamped, and the low earthen walls were low. Directly opposite is a simple thatched hut, with a wing house on each side, which is also simple like a shack.

The door of the main room is open, and there is a small hall of about three square meters, and in the middle of the futon sits the image of the Jizo King Bodhisattva. It's still the little monk who doesn't look good and wears ordinary clothes. I don't know why, although the appearance of the Jizo King Bodhisattva is ordinary, but every time I see it, it always makes me feel respectable, amiable, lovely, and with some majesty.

Honestly, it's very contradictory. The feeling that the bodhisattva gives me is the kind of special feeling that I want to be close, but also have a long distance, and I can't see through it or touch it.

Behind the Bodhisattva is an "offering table" with an oil lamp on it...... It seems that this is the legendary Buddha lamp. This famous Buddha lamp in my heart turned out to be a simple thing with a small lamp full of oil and a wick, which was even older than the one on the bow of the ship.

There was nothing else in the hall, not even a little incense, and it was really unexpected that such a famous Bodhisattva temple was so simple that there was not even incense.

I looked back at Lin Jiao, and when I got here, she should have known that there was no way out, but her face was as usual, and she said to me softly:

"Here's this, let's go over."

I nodded, pulled Lin Jiao, walked in front of the Bodhisattva, and knelt down.

"Disciple Zhou Dabiao, meet the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth."

Lin Jiao also knelt down with me and said:

"Disciple Lin Jiao, meet the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth."

Only then did the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth open his eyes and said in a harmonious voice:

"You don't have to be polite, please take a seat."

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, two futons appeared in front of Lin Jiao and me. I was stunned for a moment, unable to make up my mind for a moment, not knowing whether to sit or continue to kneel like this. Turned her head sideways and looked at Lin Jiao, this time she didn't look at me, kept her head down, and said to the Bodhisattva:

"The disciple is guilty and does not dare to accept it."

As soon as I heard that she refused to sit, I didn't dare to make a mistake, lowered my head and didn't say a word, just waiting for the Bodhisattva to fall.

I only heard the soft voice of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva:

"Now that you know your sin, go to the courtyard and wait for it to fall."

Lin Jiao replied:

"Yes!"

He stood up and slowly stepped out. I turned around and watched her exit the cottage into the courtyard and kneel down again.

This made me stunned for a moment, looked back at the Bodhisattva, and without a trace of hesitation in my heart, I lowered my head and said:

"Bodhisattva, if Lin Jiao is guilty, the disciple can't get out of it! Willing to be punished together! ”

After speaking, he also stood up, and was just about to exit the grass hall like Lin Jiao, but he heard the Bodhisattva say:

"She can go, but you can't. She can't sit, but you can. Master Zhou, please sit down and speak. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the futon in front of me.

I was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Lin Jiao. Just listen to the Bodhisattva continue:

"She is guilty, and if she wants to wash away her sins, I am afraid that it will fall on Lord Zhou."

When the Bodhisattva said this, I chuckled in my heart. This sentence conveyed two messages to me, the first is that Lin Jiao still has a chance to wash away her sins. The second is that she wants to wash away her sins and needs my help.

I owe Lin Jiao so much! Now even if the Bodhisattva asks me to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, I am willing! Hurriedly asked:

"Bodhisattva, are you saying that Lin Jiao is still saved?"

The Bodhisattva smiled:

"The sea of bitterness is boundless, turning back is the shore, the donor sits, and listens to the little monk."

It's come to this, there's nothing else to say, hurry up and sit down obediently.

Sitting, I have learned, the sitting of the ancients is actually kneeling, and the buttocks sit on their ankles. In today's situation, how dare I follow the example of a bodhisattva and sit cross-legged? Hurriedly knelt on the futon.

The Bodhisattva smiled and nodded:

"The donor has just come from the Yin and Yang Realm, so he should be very tired, right? There is still a long way to go. Why don't you take a break? ”

Long road ahead? What else is going on? I was puzzled in my heart, what kind of dumb riddle does this Jizo King Bodhisattva, who knows the past and the present and can know the future, want to play a dumb riddle with me? I couldn't figure it out, but as soon as I knelt on this futon and listened to the Bodhisattva, I felt sleepy!

I cried out again and again in my heart, it would be rude to fall asleep at this time......

The more anxious I was, the heavier my eyelids became, and I only heard the voice of the Bodhisattva in my ears:

"Sleep, sleep......"

After these two "go to sleep" sounds, I fell unconscious and fell into a deep sleep.

I slept so soundly, and I was sleeping comfortably when I heard two people talking in my ears.

"The monks don't speak, the little monk is not alarmist, and the donor is indeed approaching......

This voice is so familiar

, it should be the voice of King Jizo Bodhisattva. Hearing the Bodhisattva speak, I couldn't help but be shocked that I fell asleep in the meditation hall, which was really rude. Thinking of this, I quickly opened my eyes.

As my eyes opened, I gradually saw my surroundings clearly. I don't know when, I changed to a meditation hall, which was a little bigger than the meditation hall of King Jizo Bodhisattva. But the furnishings are as simple as ever, a table, a few futons.

There were two people sitting in front of me, one a monk and the other dressed as a Qing dynasty man. And I was kneeling behind the monk, facing the Qing Dynasty man, and I saw that he was half bareheaded, and there should be a big braid hanging behind him. Wearing a long gown, there is no excessive ornamentation on the clothes, and it looks like an ordinary scholar. With his upright features, his face as white as jade, and his beard under his lips and chin, it was not easy for me to estimate his age, but I felt that this person was very familiar.

The monk who spoke just now should have said it with his back to me, only to hear the Qing Dynasty person on the other side ask:

"Mage, are you saying that I will have a bloody plague in the near future?"

How familiar is this sound? I couldn't help but look at the person in front of me, I was really familiar, but I couldn't think of where I had seen it.

The back of his head shook in front of him:

"No, no, the donor is not dying, but dying."

The Qing Dynasty frowned:

"Mage, you said I was born and died of a sudden illness?"

"Exactly!"

The monk replied to this, and the Qing Dynasty laughed:

"Haha, you're laughing, I'm in the prime of life, I don't stop practicing martial arts, and I don't have any pain...... Where will it be violently killed? ”

As he finished saying this, I felt a "chuckle" in my heart, and suddenly stood up from the futon!

Because I recognize him, this guy looks exactly like me! The sound is also exactly the same! It's just that he shaved his hair, grew a beard, and changed into a Qing Dynasty dress, so he didn't recognize it for a long time. It took me a long time to react!

It's strange to say, I made such a big move, and the self in front of me didn't even blink my eyes, and still looked at the monk. I only heard the monk say:

"In the book of life and death, you won't be mistaken, but in a few days, a ghost will come to ask for your life."

"Qing Dynasty I" heard this, stood up, and arched his hand towards the monk:

"Hehe, life and death are fateful, if there is really a ghost sent to ask for life, I have nothing to say. Say goodbye! ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Strange to say, I seem to have a heart-to-heart with the "Qing Dynasty me" in front of me, and I can feel the unhappiness in his heart without his face and tone. Seeing him walk out of the meditation room, the monk in front of him turned his head and looked at me:

"Master Zhou, he can't see you, but you can see him. Why don't you catch up? ”

The monk in front of me is indeed the Dharma of King Jizo Bodhisattva, but what is his intention for me to keep up with "Qing Dynasty me"?
