Chapter 31: The Beginning
Going to meet Jizo again is a thing that Wen Qu decided early in the morning, but because he couldn't judge how good or bad it was, he couldn't decide when to do it.
Since he came to the ghost market, the Jizo Golden Dragon has been hiding behind the scenes, putting himself on stage to attract the attention of all parties, and for a period of time, no matter how he tried and stirred up the storm, he was not able to let him come out again, and as the situation continued to evolve, this made him feel like a thorn in his back. He is about to face an important battle, but he can't even tell whether Jizo is an enemy or a friend, how ridiculous is this, and what a dangerous thing it is......
I don't think that if you try it again, you can really try out the planning and details of Jizo, but at this time, while the chips in your hands are full, it's better to do something than to do nothing, although Jizo is a dignified old brand for eternity, and it is a real body and pure land here, but now I am willing to add to my eternal power, shrouded in holy virtue, and have supreme supernatural powers in the ghost city, although I dare not say that I can suppress the eternals, but if I don't dare to go to Jizo to shake it up, then what else can I do? I don't even dare to try Jizo, what else can I talk about grabbing a knife with the overlord?
The Pure Land of Jizo is still on the top floor of the ghost market, the place that I haven't really invaded, if I go to see it, with my current status, I have a certain certainty that I can see Jizo, and I need to consider it...... Do you want to go alone this time?
The last time I saw Jizo, I was walking with Fei Yue Tears, the purpose was to take advantage of its special identity, and I wanted to add security to myself, and the same advantage still existed today, even if I had turned my face with my father Kairi, Fei Yue Tears was still the princess of Ghost Rock City, if something happened in the Pure Land of Jizo, Ghost Rock City would definitely find Jizo.
However, the little girl Fei Yuexian is actually very good, she has repeatedly used it as a tool, and her feelings are getting worse and worse, as if she is a heartless bastard, but there is such a hurdle in her heart, as if if she can't go down, she is irrational, emotional, and a precursor to danger......
To do or not to do it, and to do it or not to do it? This question seems to bother me more than the real state of Jizo......
Thinking silently for a moment, the original entanglement was difficult to solve, Wen Quzhi suddenly remembered the overlord, and then felt that his entanglement was really ridiculous. Although the two sides are enemies, but the heroism and willfulness of the overlord, how chic, let him envy, and with his current position, many things can be done as much as he wants, and no one can say anything if he is willful, so why set limits on himself here, entangled, this does not dare, that is also scrupulous?
Thinking about this section, Wen Quzhi immediately laughed, didn't think about it anymore, and then jumped into it, and went directly to the top of the ghost market.
...... Go with your heart, don't take advantage if you don't want to take advantage of it, why bother to hurt a girl who is really good to you for the sake of possible positions in the future?
The spatial structure of the ghost city is peculiar, even if it is powerful, it is impossible to jump multiple floors at once, unless it is the eternal time method that has been involved, in order to get rid of the shackles of space and act calmly, but Wen Quzhi is the master of the ghost city, has the authority of Shinto, and comes and goes at will in the ghost city, which is not a problem.
The last time I went to the top floor, it was pitch black here, but this time it was completely different, there were ghost fires floating everywhere, shining with blue light, shrouded in powerful willpower, and you had to go all the way to the depths to see a hazy mist, isolated from the invasion of external willpower, and it was the pure land of the golden dragon of the earth.
The contamination and permeability of the Shinto wish power is extremely strong, comparable to ghost resentment and demonic poison, and it is extremely difficult to get rid of, and the reason why it can be so cleanly isolated is only because the mist that constitutes it is also a Shinto wish power.
"The Great Bodhisattva of Jizo is above, and the Red Devil asks to see him. ”
Wen Quai's voice shouted, the fog wall rolled away, and the two monk shadows stepped out of the fog, and quickly came to the front, and the lotus flowers at their feet floated in the air, and they were the two monks of Dazhi and Dading that they had seen before.
When Monk Dazhi was first ordered to come to the Giant Bone Gang to find him, he was only a triple heavenly order, and he had to rely on artifacts to suppress himself, but now he has a real powerful aura, just like other senior brothers. Leaving aside the possibility of being brave after knowing shame, enlightening oneself, rapidly improving, and breaking through the realm in such a short period of time, it is estimated that it is also the gift of authority, and the divine energy can be improved, as long as it is within the realm of Jizo, it will naturally become a "divine envoy" and have divine power.
Therefore, the great wisdom who left the Pure Land of Jizo and went to the Giant Bone Gang, although his identity was noble, his strength was not multiplied, and he was slapped in the face by himself......
"The Red Devil is courteous, the Great Bodhisattva has been waiting for you for a long time......"
The great wisdom monk clasped his palms together, smiled lovely, did not show any displeasure, sincerely welcomed the arrival of the distinguished guests, Wen Quai, and returned the salute, apologized for the misunderstanding and conflict between the two parties last time, and then followed the lead and entered the Pure Land of Jizo.
However, just one step at a time, stepping into the mist, Wen Quai's heart suddenly gave birth to a strong disgust, not disgusting, not hateful, not jealous, simply rejection, unhappy, although I don't know the reason, but let myself not take this step.
"Red Devil Donor, what's wrong?"
The Dazhi monk was surprised, and Wen Qu was sick and stood firmly, and his heart was suddenly in his heart. The law of the power of willingness, there is a strong exclusivity, whether it is Shinto or humanitarian, including the original ghost way, the essence is the same, in the end, they will collide with each other, encroach on each other, compete for the source of the power of willingness, go to the back, and each other is simply immortal, there is no self, the last time I came, I haven't embarked on this road, so I don't feel it, but now it's the new ghost dragon emperor, and I want to set foot in the pure land of the Buddha country in Jizo, and I feel a sense of rejection when I get there.
...... I have such feelings about Jizo, and in turn, how does Jizo feel about myself?
Wen Quai's heart just flashed this thought, the surroundings suddenly darkened, at the same time the smoke rolled, to the surroundings, a dragon shadow fell from the sky, in a blink of an eye turned into a human form, a white-robed, white-crowned Buddha light Bodhisattva, handsome, spotless, sitting on the lotus platform, hands knotted with a big mercy seal, eyes blooming with the light of kindness, looking at Wen Quai.
“...... The donor really did not live up to the expectations of the old monk, and the original test, I didn't expect it to be completed in such a way, and almost even the old monk's house was demolished. ”
Jizo Wen Yan smiled, but the image is completely different from the last time we met, no longer the kind of high god, but like a gentle and witty middle-aged monk, dressed in white like snow, handsome appearance, as if holding a brush in his hand, he can immediately write poems, the so-called elegant, as it is, Wen Qu is sick in his eyes, and he can't help but cheer.
"The younger generation acted Meng Lang before, pretending to be the name of the Great Bodhisattva everywhere, but he was forced to be helpless, and he asked the Bodhisattva to forgive. ”
"Hahaha, the hero is a young man, the red benefactor is facing such a crisis, he can make strange moves, all the way to save the day, the old monk admires it tightly, you let the old monk's eyes open, sigh to himself, what is there to blame?"
Jizo laughed loudly, gently revealed the matter, and then smiled: "Since you have passed the test, I believe you should have a lot of questions to ask, so it is better to just say it directly." ”
“...... Not...... This ......"
Wen Quzhi was hesitant for a while, of course he had a lot of questions he wanted to figure out, before coming here, he also thought about trying to find out those intelligence, what problems must be explored, at least to find clues, but he didn't expect Jizo to get straight to the point, and directly gave this opportunity, which is embarrassing.
...... It's not always good, ask face to face: Are you really a fake? Plotted against your master's real Jizo, replaced his Shinto authority, and deceived the world to steal his name?
As soon as he asked this, whether the other party was true or not, he would definitely turn his face, and the horse-headed monk who told him would definitely be held accountable, and he would not do this kind of stupid thing of directly betraying the informant.
Thinking of Da Yu, Wen Quzhi immediately looked sideways, not only did he not see Da Yu Monk, but even the Dazhi and Dading monks who were in charge of receiving just now were nowhere to be seen, and only himself and Jizo were left here.
"There's something wrong with it, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Jizo's attitude is frank, Wen Quai's illness is not easy to speak, and, in retrospect, Jizo's first words are to praise himself for his success, never disappointing his expectations, and passing his test, which is really clever, as if he directly blocked many of his words.
No matter what he wants to ask, including why he has remained silent, completely out of the matter, and even disregarding the safety of the ghost city, he only needs a test to explain the past, as for what the standard of the test is, what the purpose is, anyway, God is unpredictable, so there is no need to explain more.
After some consideration, Wen Quzhi raised his head with a smile and asked: "The Great Bodhisattva once swore that hell is not empty, and he vows not to become a Buddha, but I don't know if one day, the Bodhisattva's Pure Land is bigger than the Nine Shadows, and all the souls in the hell are included in the Pure Land, then this hell is empty or not?"
Jizo was even slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't want to ask this question, it stands to reason that there are many other more important questions, but I can't help but admit that this question sounds a little ignorant at first glance, and even very ridiculous, but in fact it is extremely heartbreaking.
The Pure Land of Buddhism is related to the realm of the Heavenly Rank itself, but even if it can preach eternity, it is not possible to say that its own Pure Land can be greater than the Nine Shades of the Ten Thousand Worlds, unless it is a concurrent practice of Shinto, there are believers everywhere, Shinto shows supernatural powers, and extends the Pure Land with the power of believers, it is possible to have a Pure Land all over the world...... Of course, this is just a theory.
Therefore, the real reference behind this question is a sentence: Bodhisattva, you entered the Nine Shadows in order to cross sentient beings, why did you take the path of God instead?
Jizo nodded, looked at Wen Quai's eyes, and even had a little appreciation, and replied: "The law of Shinto is related to people's willpower, and it is already difficult to control in the human world, even in the ghost world...... What the ghost king did in the past can be emulated by very many people, and the road ahead is even slimmer, and as for what the donor is doing today, it is even more eye-opening......"
Wen Quzhi nodded wordlessly, it was really difficult to know the difficulties of the deeds, the ghosts were gathered by thoughts, obsessions, and the danger of gathering the wishes of thousands of ghosts was really not ordinary hardship, but benefited...... It's really big, but it'...... It doesn't seem like the value for money is that high. For an old eonage like Jizo, it is not a good way to go further, so Jizo may not really take this path for his own future, but to cross sentient beings and ghosts, and the risks and hardships may not be understood by outsiders......
"In order to cross sentient beings to the other side, everyone is free from suffering and happy, and can see as it comes, why should the monk be afraid of his own safety, but he did struggle at the beginning......"
Jizo smiled: "I went to the underworld to cross sentient beings, for the sake of compassion, although it is for cultivation, but not for cultivation, if I practice the method of the Shinto to cross sentient beings, causing unnecessary misunderstanding, then what should I do?"
Wen Quzhi shrugged, "Come to think of it, did the Bodhisattva figure it out in the end?"
Jizo said: "Yes, the monk sat in meditation for a long time, and suddenly one day he wanted to open up, since he wanted to do this way, how could he have a selfish heart......? I'll take care of it all by myself. ”
Wen Quzhi shook his head, "There is a definite cycle of cause and effect, each person has his own karma, and the great monk wants to bear the cause and effect of the world with one body, I am afraid that he is delusional." ”
Dizang was shocked when he heard this, and then looked into the distance without a word, he didn't see intelligence in his eyes, but he accidentally flashed a trace of confusion, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at Wen Quai, and showed a strange smile, "Daoyou is now a new generation of ghost dragon emperors, opening up the field, and can be regarded as a person in this way, I must have felt the hardships of the ghost road, but I don't know if you know that this road is actually a shortcut?"
"Oh, I would like to hear the great bodhisattva's guidance. ”
"There are all the heavens and all the worlds, and there is a certain human world, one person's willingness, which can reach thousands of other worlds, which can be a shortcut to humanity. ”
“...... There is still such a world? Those god emperors still don't grab their heads?" Wen Quzhi laughed twice, and suddenly a bad feeling sprung up, and asked, "What kind of world?"
“...... Beginning!"
