Chapter 4: The Truth
"Bodhisattva, please......"
In the dilapidated temple, in the hazy night light, a woman dressed in white and with black hair and waist reached her knees in front of the Buddha statue, praying for something.
"Please...... Please......"
The woman knelt on the ground reverently, her head kept knocking, and her mouth said eagerly: "In this life, please, he has suffered for me for nine lifetimes......"
"Please, let me bear the hardships of this life, please...... Bodhisattva ......"
Standing outside the ruined temple at dawn, she could see that the Bodhisattva King Jizo was enshrined inside, and there was the Diting who didn't like to take care of her on the side.
The woman kept kowtowing, her thin body was even weaker in the night, and Dawn was worried about whether she would fall down in the next moment, and she wanted to go up and see what the woman looked like, and why she kept asking the Bodhisattva.
However, as soon as her foot stepped into the temple, she stepped into the air......
"Ahh
Dawn subconsciously screamed, her body was weightless, slipping off the stone where she slept, she closed her eyes and waited for the pain of landing, but after waiting for a long time, her body did not react at all.
After a long time, she opened her eyes, and finally remembered that she was now a soul, and she could not feel pain, and patted the non-existent dust on her body, and she floated on the stone again and sat down, thinking about the dream a little depressed.
Wait a minute...... Was she asleep just now? Still dreaming?
She's a ghost now, no, a ghost to be exact, a ghost who can't be reincarnated.
Thinking of this, Dawn jumped up with some excitement and went straight to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, she wanted to tell him that she was already able to sleep and even dream, and by the way, she asked who the woman in the dream was.
It has been almost six months since dawn came to this underworld, and all those who came later than her have gone to reincarnation, whether they are good people or evil people, they will be pressed to drink Meng Po soup and then go to reincarnation if they come here for no more than three days.
It's only her, and it's been more than half a year since she came here, and no ghost pressured her to drink Meng Po soup, nor did she go to reincarnation, and no one cared about her.
She can only wander around this underworld every day, waiting for the day when she can be reincarnated.
Although she is wandering around with nothing to do every day, she has two fixed things every day, one is to go to the Jizo King Bodhisattva early in the morning to practice, and the other is to go to the bridge at dusk to listen to stories.
Although neither the Bodhisattva nor the Bodhisattva, or even the Bodhisattva's Truth, never paid attention to her, she still insisted on practicing and listening to stories every day.
The reason for the practice is that Dawn accidentally saw a ghost who drove away a ghost who practiced in front of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, saying that the ghost was not qualified to practice in front of the Bodhisattva, and then pressed the ghost to drink Meng Po soup and then reincarnated.
She also wanted to be reincarnated, so she dared to go to the Bodhisattva to practice, in a vain attempt to attract the attention of the ghost or the Bodhisattva, and did not want to be reincarnated without the ghost to pressure her to drink Meng Po soup, and the Bodhisattva never paid attention to her, even Di Ting, although he didn't like her, he didn't want to drive her away.
After practicing day by day, she found that her occasional heartache gradually disappeared, and she began to have the legendary mana in her body.
So she has been practicing in front of the Bodhisattva.
As for listening to stories, it's because she's so bored, no one or ghost in the underworld will pay attention to her, so she can only find something interesting on her own.
In this underworld, every ghost will say one of the most memorable things in life before drinking Meng Po soup to be reincarnated, some are the happiest, and some are the most painful......
Either way, it makes the days when Dawn has no ghosts in the underworld less sad.
"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva?"
Dawn fell lightly to the lotus seat, sat down cross-legged very reverently, and looked at the Jizo King Bodhisattva with wide eyes, but as before, the Bodhisattva still closed his eyes tightly, and there was no expression on his face.
"Bodhisattva?"
She shouted again, but the Bodhisattva did not open his eyes, but opened his eyes lazily while napping, glanced at the dawn impatiently, and let out a low roar, apparently because she had made it sleep.
"Hey...... Dawn smiled silly and greeted it, "Good morning, lovely Di't?" ”
It's a pity that Di Ting didn't feel her friendliness at all, just snorted at her twice, turned over and fell asleep again.
"Listen, you're a divine beast?" Dawn glared at it dissatisfied, "Why are you so sleepy, look at the Bodhisattva, meditate and chant the Buddha early in the morning, and spend the soul of the dead......"
Dawn said that she found that it was still the same as before, whether it was the Bodhisattva or Di Ting, no one ignored her, so she stopped her mouth, sighed helplessly, looked up at the Bodhisattva who was not moving like a mountain, she only hoped that when the practice was over, the Bodhisattva could ignore her and solve her doubts.
Then, she sat upright, closed her eyes, and began to meditate as usual.
What dawn didn't know was that after she closed her eyes, the Jizo King Bodhisattva, who had been standing still like a mountain, slowly opened her eyes, and she looked down at the woman who was concentrating on cultivation at her feet and shook her head silently.
Di Ting, who had been sleeping, seemed to notice the change in the Bodhisattva's mood and opened his eyes dimly, and it looked at the dawn and then at the Bodhisattva with some confusion, and finally pinched a trick in the Bodhisattva's eyes and left with the Bodhisattva.
But it still didn't understand the Bodhisattva's actions today, after all, the woman had been practicing with the Bodhisattva for several months, and the Bodhisattva had neither paid attention to her, nor driven her away, let alone avoided her.
Yes, it has an intuition that the Bodhisattva is avoiding the woman today.
Sure enough, in the following days, the Bodhisattva really left the underworld with it.
So at dawn, not only did she not see the Bodhisattva and Diting when she opened her eyes after the practice, but she didn't find any trace of them in the underworld for the next month.
But she would still continue her practice there on time every day, but she never dreamed of the dream that she didn't have time to ask the Bodhisattva, and she forgot about it after a long time.
Although there are many ghosts in the underworld, there are never ghosts who talk to Dawn, so in addition to practicing and sleeping every day, she goes to the bridge to listen to stories, and Dawn herself is also a person who likes to listen to stories, so life is better.
It's just that I don't know when she will be reincarnated.
Let's say that on this day, it was exactly a month after the Bodhisattva left the underworld with Di Ting, and the dawn slowly drifted away to the place of cultivation as usual, but she found that there was a pain in her chest that she had not felt for a long time, so that she had to stop.
There was a big rock not far away, and she fell lightly, covering her chest in some pain, and couldn't help muttering, "How can this be?" Don't...... My heart is rejecting from that man's body? ”
Holding her chest, she shook her head to herself, "No, it's been six or seven months......"
Except for the discomfort at the beginning, she didn't feel any more heartache after practicing.
Then there was a sharp pain, she no longer had the mood to think, and she slipped off the stone in discomfort, and below was a cluster of fiery red manbead shahua, and the dawn in the red dress fell down and merged with the manzhu shahua.
Therefore, the two ghosts did not notice her when they passed by, and continued to talk.
I heard one of the one-eyed ghosts say with annoyance: "When do you say that woman will be reincarnated, it's not a matter to stay in this underworld all the time, the judge is so worried about this matter every day that his hair falls out a lot, and the ghosts of our subordinates are also sad." ”
The other one-eared ghost almost shook his head, pretending to be profound: "That woman is afraid that she will not be able to give birth in the short term." ”
"Why?"
"When I was pouring tea for the judge a few days ago, I heard the judge talking to himself about what is the longevity of the Yang, this life is not over, how to reincarnate, how to reincarnate ~rebirth~?" This one-eared ghost is probably also a funny ghost, and in the end, he still learns the judge's tone.
"Tell me more about it, what's going on?" The one-eyed ghost almost couldn't wait, so he pulled the one-eared ghost to sit down on the stone, and urged, "Don't pretend to be a god and wait, let's make it clear." ”
Dawn in her heart, oh, no, there are many doubts in my mind at this time, the "that woman" in the mouth of the ghost should be her, right? But what about the unfinished life?
So she waited as anxiously as the one-eyed ghost, holding back the pain in her heart, trying not to make the slightest sound, holding her breath and continuing to eavesdrop.
"Don't worry...... the one-eared ghost straightened out the fluttering gauze on his body, sat down upright, and then said slowly: "I think that woman should have been changed by someone, and the person who should have died used her to block the robbery, the damned one didn't die, and the one who didn't deserve to die died, so she was brought to this place by us before her Yang Shou arrived......"
The one-eyed ghost suddenly came to his senses and said, "No wonder she hasn't been able to reincarnate!" ”
Unable to say the final conclusion, the one-eared ghost almost regretted it, snorted angrily, and got up to leave.
"So who has the power to change their numerology?" The one-eyed ghost almost chased after him.
The one-eared ghost's voice came from a distance: "This is not something I can ask!" ”
Dawn covered her chest with her hands and looked at the two ghosts who had drifted away in a daze, her heart was still hurting, and even the pain was getting deeper and deeper, because of the pain, her already pale face was almost transparent.
Therefore, her death was not accidental, but someone changed her numerology.
It would have been damned ...... That man! The current master of her heart.
So...... Did she die because he needed her heart?
Dawn's eyes widened in disbelief, she couldn't believe how there could be such a ridiculous thing in this world, how could it be like this?
How can one person be arranged to die just because that person needs the heart of another person.
And she's the other one.
Her death was an elaborate conspiracy, and the mastermind, she could not resist.
How unfair!
That man, she was also happy for him because of the success of the operation.
What kind of pride is he? Can someone help them change their numerology?
Then, even if it is not recovered, she will go and see what is going on.
