Chapter 1142: The Origin of the Ghost Emperor
Ever since the moment I opened the gate of the Ghost Gate with the Nine-Ring Tin Staff, I had basically guessed the identity of the owner of the Nine-Ring Tin Staff.
Because in the world we live in, and in the underworld, there is only one person who has the strength to break the rules of heaven and earth and break the gates of hell.
And this character is the Jizo King Bodhisattva who is second only to the leader of Buddhism in terms of strength.
It is said that when King Jizo Bodhisattva entered the endless hell, he once made a grand wish to the heavens, saying that the hell is not empty and that he will never become a Buddha.
It is precisely for this reason that since the end of the Great War of the Gods, he has been in the endless hell of the netherworld, suppressing the evil spirits in the endless hell.
And it is precisely because of the suppression of the Jizo King Bodhisattva that more than ninety percent of the evil ghosts in the endless hell cannot leave the endless hell and go to the underworld or the yang world to haunt them.
The King of the Earth Bodhisattva also gained monstrous merit because of this, and became the second only existence in the Buddhist sect to those two super powers.
However, if the evil thoughts in the human heart are not eliminated, the evil ghosts in the endless hell will never be extinct, so the Jizo King Bodhisattva is limited by his great wish, and in order to suppress the evil spirits in the endless hell, he will never have a chance to come out of the endless hell.
However, a powerful person of the level of the Jizo King Bodhisattva must have the ability to cultivate one or many incarnations outside the body.
And even if it is the incarnation of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, the strength must be quite extraordinary, and it is also a normal thing to have the strength of the Great Luo level.
Therefore, I can basically be sure at this time that the Supreme Master who was at the Tianheng Auction House at the beginning must be one of the external incarnations of the Jizo King Bodhisattva who suppressed evil spirits in the endless hell.
Because only the incarnation of the Jizo King Bodhisattva outside the body is qualified to give me the Dharma weapon of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
Only the magic weapon of a figure of the level of the Jizo King Bodhisattva can destroy the rules of heaven and earth set by the three great heavenly venerables, and break through the door of the ghost gate.
But what puzzled me was why the King of the Earth, the Bodhisattva, gave me his magic weapon to help me enter the Netherworld.
Could it be that King Jizo Bodhisattva is more optimistic about me, and he wants me to gain merit, improve my strength, and become the savior of the world?
But our Jiang family belongs to the Daomen lineage, but the Jizo King Bodhisattva is the top figure in the Buddhism lineage, and between the Daomen and the Buddhism, there is a competitive relationship to a certain extent, and it stands to reason that the Jizo King Bodhisattva should have no reason to help me!
Could it be that the old man of the Bodhisattva has really reached the realm of no desire and no desire, completely put aside the concept of the portal, and looked down on the doctrinal dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?
Actually, not only am I a little puzzled by this, but even His Majesty King Yama is a little messy.
Just as I was thinking with a puzzled expression, His Majesty King Yama looked at the expression on my face, and also whispered to himself on the side: "I don't know what purpose he asked you to come to the Netherworld, which makes this king and I a little confused about him." ”
Judging from the tone of His Majesty's speech and the expression on his face, I am afraid that the relationship between His Majesty the King of Yama and the Bodhisattva of Jizo is not so harmonious.
I don't know what happened to the other nine of the ten halls of Yama, but at least His Majesty the King of Yama was like this, and I could clearly feel it.
With the relationship between our Jiang clan and the Ten Halls of Yama, even if I came to the Netherworld with the help of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, my trust in His Majesty the Yama King must be greater than that of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
So when His Majesty King Yama said this, I was even more puzzled!
Even I vaguely realized that the King of the Earth Bodhisattva had let me enter the Netherworld not to improve my strength and allow me to obtain monstrous merits, but for other purposes.
Since I have come to the Netherworld, no matter what the purpose of the Jizo King Bodhisattva is, I still focus on my purpose.
If I can help Jizo King Bodhisattva and form a good relationship with Jizo King Bodhisattva, it will not hurt me at all.
But if I can't help the Jizo King Bodhisattva, it can only mean that my strength is not enough, or that I have no fate with his old man.
Thinking of this, I didn't think much about it anymore and talked directly to His Majesty King Yama.
After saluting His Majesty the King of Yama, I said, "Your Majesty the King of Yama, since we have come to the Netherworld, I have to trouble you to help me. ”
With the relationship between the Ten Halls of Yan Jun and our Jiang clan, His Majesty the King of Yama naturally knows how to help me.
So when I said this, His Majesty King Yama waved his hand first, meaning that I didn't have to be so polite to him, and then he frowned and pondered.
After a while, His Majesty the King of Yama asked me, "Jiang Yi, didn't you encounter any special conditions on the way to Yama City?" ”
His Majesty the King of Yama must have had his intentions in asking me this, and we did encounter a rather special situation on the way to Yama City.
As for the specific situation of His Royal Highness the Black Highness and his father, the Black Demon Emperor, as well as the Netherworld, I am trying to find out more clearly about His Majesty King Yama.
But before I could answer His Majesty King Yama, he was held in the arms of His Majesty King Yama, and the little Lori Longzhu who was sitting on the lap of His Majesty King Yama pouted and said with a dissatisfied face: "Father, we met Hei Zhihu, the son of the Black Demon Emperor, on the way here, he obviously knew that Aunt Chu Chu and Aunt Allure were my guests, but he didn't give me any face, but instead he had to arrest Aunt Chu Chu and Aunt Allure to go to Black Evil City!" ”
As soon as Long Zhu's words were spoken, His Majesty King Yama's face suddenly became a little ugly.
After glancing at the long bamboo in his arms, His Majesty King Yama said indignantly: "I don't even give you face, Hei Zhihu is really getting more and more arrogant!" ”
Speaking of this, His Majesty King Yama said to Longzhu: "Baby daughter, Hei Zhihu didn't bully you, right?" If he dares to bully you, I will definitely seek justice for you as a father! ”
"I'm in charge of the military power of the underworld, commanding hundreds of millions of Yin soldiers, how can I let my daughter be bullied by the son of the Black Demon Emperor?"
Seeing the anger on King Yama's face, Longzhu hurriedly replied: "Father, don't be angry, with my father here, Hei Zhihu dares to bully me?" If it weren't for my father's unwillingness to deal with him, I wouldn't have let go of Hei Zhihu so easily! ”
Hearing Longzhu's words, King Yama actually nodded and said, "Hei Zhihu is so arrogant, he should be cleaned up fiercely, and he shouldn't be let go casually." ”
What I didn't expect was that His Majesty King Yama actually had this attitude, which made me even more curious about His Highness the Black and the Black Demon Emperor.
So I asked His Majesty King Yama, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter with the Black Demon Emperor?" Is his status in the Netherworld the same as that of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin? ”
Hearing this, His Majesty King Yama looked helpless, but he nodded.
It seems that the actual situation is indeed the same as I guessed, that Black Demon Emperor and the Ten Palaces Yan Jun have the same status.
You must know that the position of the Yin God of the Ten Halls of Yan Jun was personally enshrined by Jiang Ziya, the ancestor of our Jiang family, to a certain extent, the position of the Yin God of the Ten Halls of Yan Jun represents the will of the super powerful person of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and represents the status recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
What is the origin of this Black Demon Emperor? Can he be on an equal footing with the Ten Palaces Yan Jun?
Could it be that this Black Demon Emperor, like Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, was transformed by the ghost of a person with monstrous merits after his death?
Thinking of this, I asked King Yama, "Your Majesty, what is the origin of this Black Demon Emperor?" ”
His Majesty the King of Yama said: "Regarding the situation of this Black Demon Emperor, it's a long story, I'll start with you at the beginning!" ”
I nodded, and His Majesty the King of Yama continued: "After the Great War of the Gods, Jiang Ziya sealed the gods, sealed us as the Ten Palaces of Yama, and let us sit in the underworld and take charge of reincarnation. ”
"But if the evil thoughts in people's hearts are not removed, there will be countless evil ghosts in the endless hell at any time, with the strength of our Ten Palaces Yan Jun, even if there is a book from the earth given by the Yuan Shi Tianzun, it will not be able to suppress the countless evil ghosts in the endless hell."
"Just when we were helpless, those two super powerful beings in the Buddhist sect sent the Jizo King Bodhisattva over."
"After the Jizo King Bodhisattva arrived in the Netherworld, he first used the supreme method to build a hundred large cities on the periphery of the Netherworld, and used these hundred cities as a base to surround the entire Netherworld Underworld."
"Huangquan Road, Nai He Bridge, Yama Palace, as well as the thirty-six hells and the three hundred and sixty small hells, are actually all in the center of this hundred cities."
Listening to His Majesty the King of Yama say this, I finally understand why I haven't seen the legendary Huangquan Road, the Nahe Bridge and the Yama Hall until now.
It turns out that we are currently only on the periphery of the Netherworld, and we have not reached the very center of the Netherworld.
At this time, His Majesty King Yama continued: "After building these hundred cities, the Jizo King Bodhisattva asked our Ten Halls Yama to choose ten cities first, and then the Jizo King Bodhisattva entered the core of the thirty-six hells, the endless hells. ”
"And in the endless hell, the King of the Earth Bodhisattva used the supreme method of Buddhism to transform seventy-seven evil ghosts, so that these seventy-seven evil ghosts occupied seventy-seven cities and became a ghost emperor."
"These evil ghosts who have been transformed by the Jizo King Bodhisattva can be said to be the subordinates of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and the purpose of their existence is mainly to prevent evil ghosts from flowing out of the endless hell and causing trouble in the underworld or the yang."
"It was only after the status of these seventy-seven ghost emperors in the Netherworld was established that the Bodhisattva King of the Earth made a grand wish that hell would not be empty and he would not become a Buddha, and entered the core of the endless hell."
"Although our Ten Halls of Yama are very unconvinced of these arrangements made by the Jizo King Bodhisattva, but the Jizo King Bodhisattva has great merits, and the Endless Hell really needs an existence like him to suppress it, so we can only accept his arrangement and let these seventy-seven demons in the Endless Hell become a ghost emperor on an equal footing with our Ten Halls of Yama."
