Chapter 146: The King of Jizo and the Six Realms
After King Qin Guang handed over the work to Cui Fujun to manage, he went out with Shi Xing and Liudao.
After passing through a door, the three of them came to the deepest part of the underworld, where this temple stood high, without ornate decorations, without the sound of Buddha, only boundless silence and loneliness.
King Qin Guang stood at the door of the closed temple and shouted respectfully, "Bodhisattva, I have already brought the person you said. ”
"Come in." With a low and majestic voice, the closed door slowly opened, and a monk in a shabby robe was sitting on the grass, whispering and chanting, and next to the monk, a demon beast was napping with its eyes closed.
King Qin Guang walked in with the time punishment and the six paths, and introduced, "This is the one who wants to see you, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth. ”
"Jizo King Bodhisattva!" Shi Xing was stunned when he heard this name, because the name of the Bodhisattva King of the Earth was like thunder, and his deeds of not becoming a Buddha in hell were also praised and passed down from generation to generation.
"The descendants of Wu Ji's Heavenly Gate, I have seen the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth when I was punished."
"The six realms have seen the Bodhisattva."
Hearing the sound of the Punishment, the King of Jizo slowly stood up, turned to look at the Punishment and the Six Paths, "You are finally here. ”
"The Bodhisattva knows we're coming?" Shi Xing asked with some curiosity.
King Jizo smiled and pointed to the demon beast beside him, "It's not me, it's him." ”
"Divine beasts listen."
That's right, when it comes to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, then I have to say that the divine beast that has always accompanied him by his side, Di Ting.
Di Ting is the mount of the legendary King Bodhisattva of the Jizo King, is a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, a unicorn foot of the divine beast, the original body is a white dog, because the Jizo method is based on filial piety, the dog is loyal, just like the lion of Manjushri shows wisdom, the white elephant of Puxian shows the great line, and the truth of Jizo is loyal to the heart.
In addition, Di Ting can discern all things in the world by listening, and is especially good at listening to people's hearts, and not long ago, Di Ting felt a little uneasy, and the key to solving all this is the upcoming time punishment and the six realms.
Di Ting, who was originally lying next to him and dozing off, heard that he was introduced, stood up very spiritually, walked to Liudao leisurely, glanced at Liudao, and licked Liudao's hand affectionately.
"Di Ting is so close to this little monk." King Qin Guang was a little unbelievable to see Di Ting so close to the Six Realms, because Di Ting, as a divine beast, usually always looks down on all things, except for the King of Jizo himself, he has a cold attitude towards everyone.
King Jizo smiled, walked up to Rokudo, and touched Rokudo's bare little head, "You're still back." ”
Liudao seemed to have known for a long time, and nodded calmly.
"It's ...... Bodhisattva, do you know the six realms? Shi Xing was also a little curious, could it be that the six realms had dealt with the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
King Jizo smiled softly and explained, "It's not that I know, but because this child is me, and I am this child." ”
According to the explanation of the king of Jizo, it turned out that a long, long time ago, the king of the earth had many times to suffer in hell in the mother sister out of hell, although filial piety to the world, but still destroyed the normal operation of the heaven and earth, the king of the earth was compassionate, in order to atone for his sins, he separated a part of himself, suffered the suffering of infinite reincarnation, and he was the lifelong guardian of the balance of the earth.
Therefore, the six realms are the part of the suffering of the king of Jizo, which is why the six realms can open the gates of hell and ghosts, and when the sentient beings are technological, the Buddha statue behind him is also his own true appearance, the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo and the truth of listening.
"Liudao, are you the king of Jizo?"
Rokudo shook his head at the same time as King Jizo, "If before, we were one person, but now, after infinite multiple reincarnations, he is already an independent person. ”
Liudao looked at Shi Xing and said seriously, "Shi Xing, I am Liudao. ”
Shi Xing looked at Liudao and laughed, "Of course, who else can Liudao be besides Liudao." ”
When Liudao heard Shi Xing's words, he smiled happily, because what Liudao was most afraid of was that no one would admit his existence.
"I didn't expect there to be such a thing." King Qin Guang, who was standing on the side, was also a little stunned when he heard the story of the Six Paths and the King of Jizo, this was the first time he had heard about it.
"Okay, don't stand, if there's something, sit down and talk about it." The king of Jizo took out a few futons and beckoned everyone to sit on the ground.
"I already know your intentions, and it is very difficult to find someone in this underworld alone." King Jizo looked at Shi Xing and said, "However, His Excellency King Qin Guang is in charge of thousands of ghosts under his hands, and if you can get his help, then everything will be twice as effective with half the effort." ”
King Qin Guang nodded on the side, "I have already found out that the child did enter the underworld by mistake, and I have already promised to help them find that child." ”
"That's good." King Jizo nodded to King Qin Guang, then turned his head and said to Shi Xing, "However, Shi Xing, I have one more matter here, I hope I can get your help." ”
"The Bodhisattva said that it doesn't matter, as long as the kid can help, he will do his best."
King Jizo was silent for a while, and then spoke, "Do you know the Five Ghost Emperors in the Underworld? ”
Shi Xing shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
In fact, in the underworld, in addition to the ten halls of Yama, there are also these many strengths, and the five ghost emperors are the representatives of them, namely the Eastern Ghost Emperor Cai Yulei and Shen Di, the Western Ghost Emperor Zhao Wenhe, Wang Zhenren, the Northern Ghost Emperor Zhang Heng and Yang Yun, the Southern Ghost Emperor Du Ziren, and the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi and Ji Kang. The ghost emperors of the five directions each guard one side to ensure the stability and balance of the ghosts and monsters in the underworld.
However, just a few years ago, Du Ziren, the ghost emperor of the south, was suddenly assassinated and died tragically in his own territory, and the murderer was most likely the other ghost emperors.
Because except for Du Ziren, the other places are jointly managed by the two ghost emperors, and it is inevitable that there will be some small frictions between each other, and Du Ziren, who is alone in managing one side, has become a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye of all the ghost emperors.
In order to compete for the management of Du Ziren's territory, several ghost emperors launched various open and secret battles, and the entire underworld except for the territory of the Ten Palaces of the Yama King was made miserable.
For the sake of the peace of the underworld, the Bodhisattva King of the Dizo personally called several ghost emperors together, hoping to sit down and talk about it and minimize the harm, because once the ghost emperors really opened their firepower and let go, then the peace of the underworld for tens of thousands of years is likely to be destroyed.
In the end, the ghost kings didn't want to get a ruined underworld after they fought for it, so they compromised, and if the Jizo King Bodhisattva could provide everyone with a perfect solution, they would accept it.
But King Jizo originally just wanted them to end the fight, but he didn't expect to end up with an impossible task for himself, and there was no way, in order to temporarily stabilize the ghost emperors. King Jizo also relented, promising them that he would give them a chance to compete fairly.
And just when the King of Jizo had no clue, Di Ting, who had been staying by his side, suddenly gave him an idea, because he knew that the descendants of Wu Ji Tianmen were about to come to the underworld, and this matter could be entrusted to the descendants of Wu Ji Tianmen.
