Chapter 122 Degree
After listening to Zhao Yuan's explanation, I regretted it:
"Such precious water, I knew that I would wash my face and take a sip."
Zhao Yuan laughed when he heard it:
"Haha, okay, you're going to drink too?"
Huang Jian said:
"What are you drinking it for? Although this water is rare, it has no special effect, but the criminals on the way to hell will take a sip and wash their faces, with the intention of changing their hearts and faces. ”
I stuck out my tongue, but luckily I didn't have the curiosity to take a sip and wash it, and I didn't want to go to hell and suffer all those bells and whistles.
Zhao Yuan heard Huang Jian's explanation and said:
Not necessarily, the Sumeru Sutra says that the King of the Earth Bodhisattva has the merit of increasing the essence of sentient beings, improving their health, and getting rid of diseases. Legend has it that this water is used to wash the face, but when used to wash the heart, it can remove all the pain of heart disease, life and death. ”
Huang Jian sighed:
"It's just a legend, you and I have sent so many criminals to the gates of hell, and all of them have drunk the water of the river, how can one of them be spared from suffering?"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said no more. Huang Jian really can't speak, Zhao Yuan is about to be punished by a hundred years of knife and saw, and drinking some water is still so serious, I really don't give any hope at all. I hurriedly rounded up and asked softly:
"Then did you wash your face or your heart just now?"
When this sentence came out, it seemed to touch Zhao Yuan, my hand held his arm, felt his body tremble, looked up at the front, and muttered:
"Wash your heart...... Facial ......"
I saw that his eyes were misty, as if he had said the wrong thing again, so I quickly lowered my head and helped him to move on. The bamboo forest path, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, this road is more beautiful than the scenic environment in the sun, although the road winds all the way up, and holds an injury, but does not feel tired at all.
After walking for more than an hour, a clearing flashed out of the bamboo forest, a stream gurgled through, a bamboo bridge on the stream, the other end of the bridge was connected to a small courtyard, the wood door was ajar, and a small monk stood at the door, with his back to us, sweeping the floor with a broom.
This feels as if I have traveled back to the Three Kingdoms period, accompanying Liu Guan and Zhang to visit the thatched house......
However, there is a little monk sweeping the floor at the door....... could it be that the famous King of Jizo Bodhisattva lives here? No Golden Temple? Don't have a grand palace? The group crossed the bamboo bridge, and the little monk who swept the floor put down the broom and turned around.
When the two ghosts saw the little monk, they hurriedly knelt down. Huang Jian also helped Zhao Yuan to bow down, Zhao Yuan pulled me by the hand, and said softly:
"Don't you bow down to the Bodhisattva?"
I was shocked, could it be that this little monk is the legendary Jizo King Bodhisattva? That great filial piety that is not under the Buddha, the great wish Bodhisattva? I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly knelt down as well.
I only heard the little monk say:
"The little monk is polite, a few donors are invited."
The two ghosts and Huang Jian kowtowed to the little monk three times before they got up. I quickly kowtowed three times and stood up.
Only then did he take a closer look at the little monk in front of him, and what caught his eye was an ordinary gray monk's robe, and in the monk's robe was a young man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with red lips and white teeth. Although she is young, her eyebrows are full of kindness, and she feels that her eyes and expressions only belong to a weathered old woman.
I seem to be much younger than him all of a sudden, back to the age of three or five years old, and I want to throw myself into his arms and be spoiled...... Right! It really felt like seeing grandma, so safe, so warm.
Sure enough, the Dharma is boundless! I'm sure this is the Dharma of King Jizo Bodhisattva!
My heart suddenly became curious, since I arrived in the underworld, I have never opened the Three Realms Pass, I wonder if I can see the true face of the Bodhisattva today? So I quietly opened the Three Realms and looked towards the Bodhisattva, only to see a golden light rushing straight into my eyes, and various shapes came one after another, so that I didn't dare to force my eyes.
The amount of information received by the Three Realms was too large, and I only felt a dizziness in my brain, and I quickly reflexively closed my two mortal eyes.
I only heard the little monk say:
"Don't be afraid, can you open your eyes again?"
My heart was pounding, and it took me half a day to come back to my senses. I opened the two mortal eyes first, and I saw the little monk looking at me with a smile, and the four people next to me didn't know what was going on, and they also looked at me with suspicious faces. This made me feel like I was being caught peeping, and I blushed and said:
"If the disciple offends, I hope the Bodhisattva will forgive the sin."
The Jizo King Bodhisattva didn't seem to care, and said slowly with a smile:
"With many laws to show each other, it is the little monk who is abrupt. What you see may not be true, and although the donor's Three Realms is extraordinary, what you can see is only the appearance. ”
I nodded, thoughtful. A few days ago, in the illusion I created, I also saw all kinds of illusions, and although I finally managed to get out of trouble, I was really trapped in it and couldn't see through it. Three-eyed ...... But that's it.
I only heard the Jizo King Bodhisattva continue to say slowly:
"If the benefactor does not give up, can you open the Three Realms again?"
How dare I look at it again? Connecting Channels:
"Disciple don't dare! Disciple don't dare! ”
King Jizo Bodhisattva said in harmony:
"It's okay, but it's okay to watch." With that, put your hands together and your eyes slightly together......
In my heart, the Bodhisattva intends to ignite, this is a rare opportunity, not to be missed! So he slowly opened the Three Realms and looked over.
The scene I saw this time was completely different from the previous time, the surrounding scenery had not changed, but the little monk standing in front of him slowly raised his head. I was taken aback! Where is the Jizo King Bodhisattva? It was clear that I had shaved my hair and put on a monk's robe!
I couldn't help but stand on the spot, and when I thought about it, I realized the truth. Quickly cleared the Three Realms, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again.
King Jizo asked:
"Do you see clearly?"
I replied:
"See clearly! Thank you Bodhisattva! ”
Just listen to the Bodhisattva say:
"Get up, you and I are destined, and you will come to the little monk in the future."
I got up from the ground
Come, will you see this Bodhisattva again? These words made me suspicious.
The Bodhisattva ignored me anymore and said to Zhao Yuan:
"This benefactor is Zhao Yuan, right?"
Zhao Yuan didn't dare to slack off, sandwiched his crutches under his armpits, folded his hands, bowed his head and said:
"Back to the Bodhisattva, the disciple is Zhao Yuan."
The Bodhisattva asked:
"Why are you here?"
"The disciple has committed a serious crime and is about to be sent to the Axe and Saw Hell to be punished, and this is the way."
"What are you guilty of?"
"Abuse of power, befriending the ghost king to disrupt the order of the Three Realms, and dementoring the soul...... Uh......"
The Bodhisattva shook his head, and his voice rose slightly:
"Zhao Yuan! What sin have you committed? ”
This sentence was not very serious, and the speed of speech was gentle, but it sounded in the hearts of several of us like a bell, and several of us couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. I looked at the Bodhisattva, and his face was still so kind, and I couldn't see joy or anger. Looking back at Zhao Yuan again, his brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.
After being silent for more than half a minute, Zhao Yuan suddenly let go of his crutches and fell to the ground:
"The disciple is guilty...... Doing good in life is not out of compassion, but only for merit, which is self-deception. After death, he becomes a ghost, unable to preach, and resentful, which is self-abandonment. Later, he joined forces with bandits, causing many innocent souls to suffer...... The sins are so great that he willingly goes to the axe and saw hell to be punished and atoned for! ”
After hearing this, the Bodhisattva nodded, and said in a harmonious voice:
"What is Zhao Yuan's crime?"
The tone of this sentence was more soothing than just now, and I wondered in my heart, why did I ask again? looked at Zhao Yuan, kneeling on the ground and thoughtful, speechless for a while. Suddenly, his brows were unraveled, and he bowed:
"Zhao Yuan is not guilty......"
Only then did the Bodhisattva step forward and stretch out his hand to brush Zhao Yuan's head, and Zhao Yuan lay on the ground, motionless. A breeze blew, and I saw his hair fall down in a clump and instantly turn into a bald head.
The Bodhisattva straightened up, reached into his arms, took out a piece of paper, and said to the two ghosts:
"The two officials, Zhao Yuan committed karma because of filial piety, and the little monk is willing to spend a journey, and he has obtained Yan Jun's permission. The two of you can bring this official document back. ”
The two ghosts glanced at each other and took the paperwork.
The Bodhisattva's body flickered, and everyone's eyes were full of flowers, and the little monk turned into two! While we were in astonishment, one of them walked up to the onicha, folded his hands, and said:
"Although Zhao Yuan has repented, he has created evil obstacles. Since the little monk has been tempered with him, he is willing to replace him with his body. Please take me to Hell with an axe and a saw. ”
The two ghosts looked at each other, didn't dare to disobey, and nodded.
Seeing this, another little monk said to Zhao Yuan:
"Come with me......"
After speaking, he turned around and walked into the small courtyard.
Zhao Yuan didn't say a word, slowly stood up, crutches, and followed.
Huang Jian shouted:
"Zhao Yuan......"
I saw that he turned a deaf ear and followed the little monk step by step into the courtyard gate.
