Seeing that Ding Xiaomei's ghost had understood the cause of his death, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully to the black and white impermanence: "Two impermanence masters, thank you for your help, so that Ding Xiaomei's ghost will no longer misunderstand me." May I ask the two impermanence masters, you just said that you want to make an exception to let Ding Xiaomei's ghost return to the Yang World, this is to let her seek revenge on Lao Wang, and get out of this resentment in her chest, so that she can re-enter the underworld and be reincarnated. However, Lao Wang's wealth is so prosperous, can Ding Xiaomei's ghost help him? ”

Black impermanence said: "As the saying goes: the extremes of things must be opposed!" Although this old king's fortune is prosperous, it is a pity that he has done many evils in his life, and when his fortune reaches its peak, that is, his reversal road, and his longevity will be exhausted. At this time, the female ghost can take revenge to dissipate her resentment. ”

Bai Wuchang also said: "King Ming, the heavens cannot be leaked, and we can't say much, in short, the fate of this old king is related to the calamity you are going to experience. ”

Hei Wuchang shouted: "Where is the bull head and horse face? Quickly escort Ding Xiaomei's ghost out of the underworld. Ding Xiaomei, you remember to me that although you have the blessing of King Ming, Yan Jun has given you the grace to return to the Yang World for revenge, but if you harm the innocent, then you will go to hell and suffer, and you will never be able to live forever! ”

Ding Xiaomei bowed a few times to the two impermanences, and then bowed to me again. I sighed and said, "Ding Xiaomei, you come back to the Yang world with me, remember the words of Master Impermanence, and don't be a disaster to the world again!" ”

Ding Xiaomei snorted, and was about to stand up and walk with me, when Hei Wuchang said: "King Ming, this female ghost can't be taken out of the underworld by you, and must be escorted out by Niu Tou Ma Mian." ”

I looked at him puzzled and said, "Master Impermanence, shouldn't I also return to the Yang World?" Why can't I go with her? ”

Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "King Ming, when you came to the underworld, you have understood many truths, and your yang energy is flourishing. If you walk with this female ghost, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand your yang world and her soul will come to naught! ”

Only then did I understand the meaning of the two impermanences, and seeing the bull head and horse face escorting Ding Xiaomei's ghost away, I couldn't help but say to the black and white impermanence: "Master impermanence, how can I return to the yang world now?" ”

Bai Wuchang and Black Impermanence looked at each other and smiled, and were about to cast a spell to send my Yuan Shen back to the Yang World, when suddenly a golden light came from mid-air, and one person shouted: "Black and white impermanence and slow!" The decree of the Bodhisattva of the Earth, spread the ink and travel through hell! ”

I was surprised to see that a kind of beast appeared in mid-air that looked like a dog but not a dog, a dragon but not a dragon, a tiger but not a tiger, a lion but not a lion, and a unicorn but not a unicorn, with a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a tiger head, a lion tail, and a unicorn foot. The beast finished shouting and disappeared in an instant.

I asked Bai Wuchang in surprise, "Master Wuchang, what was the origin of that divine beast just now?" Why did it say that Jizo Bodhisattva wanted me to travel to the underworld? ”

Bai Wuchang solemnly said: "King Ming, this is the Bodhisattva of the Earth to listen to the divine beast, and he can know the things of the Three Realms. It comes to convey the purpose of the Jizo Bodhisattva, and it must have a deep meaning. Let the small ones calculate it, and you will know the clues. ”

Bai Wuchang closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, opened his eyes for a long time and said, "King Ming, I already know what happened. What you are thinking about, except for the female ghost Ding Xiaomei just now, there is still one thing to do. Fei Fei's death has been bothering you for a long time; And the matter of Ah Liu also makes you sad. This Fei Fei, you can take her to the lookout platform in the future. And this Ah Liu, after death, will go to the Infernal Hell. The deep meaning of Jizo is to let King Ming travel to hell to help King Ming practice. ”

I was surprised and said, "Could it be that this Ah Liu is already dead?" I really didn't expect it! Bai Wuchang said: "The heavenly opportunity cannot be leaked, and the king of Ming will know it in the future." Since Jizo Bodhisattva has a decree, then the king of Ming has not yet gotten up, and when will he stay? ”

I said worriedly, "Master Impermanence, are you going to take me to meet Jizo Bodhisattva?" I've heard that there are several origins of Jizo Bodhisattva, but I don't know which one is true. Please also ask the impermanence master to give me advice, lest I be rude in front of the Jizo Bodhisattva. ”

Bai Wuchang said: "King Ming, Jizo Bodhisattva just ordered us to accompany you on a trip to hell, but he didn't say that he wanted to see you. But since you have talked about the origin of the Jizo Bodhisattva, King Ming is a member of Buddhism, how can you not know? Let the little one speak carefully for the king of Ming. ”

Bai Wuchang told me slowly and methodically, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, you can go anywhere in the Three Realms, but you just won't go to hell, except for Jizo Bodhisattva. It is said that the Bodhisattva has already attained the Buddhahood, but he has compassion for all living beings in the world and voluntarily proposed to the Buddha that he will not become a Buddha, but only for the Bodhisattva, and go to take charge of the underworld and surpass the dead.

The Buddha praised it greatly, and he conferred the title of the Bodhisattva of the Netherworld as the head of the Netherworld, in charge of the Yin Division. Avalokiteshvara is the universal of all sentient beings, and it is great compassion; And the Jizo Bodhisattva is a transcendent soul, which is a great wish. The two Bodhisattvas and the two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Puxian are the four great Bodhisattvas under the Buddha's seat.

The name of Jizo Bodhisattva means 'patience and immobility like the earth, meditation is as deep as a secret treasure', and his grand wish is, 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?' Therefore, there are basically couplets on both sides of the Buddha statue dedicated to the Jizo Bodhisattva in the Buddhist temple: "Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha; Spend all sentient beings, and prove the right result! ’。 However, according to the Buddhist viewpoint, it is impossible for all sentient beings in the world to cut off 'greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, and doubt', so that is, the Jizo Bodhisattva gave up the opportunity to become a Buddha forever in order to surpass the dead soul in hell, so it is said that the Jizo Bodhisattva is a great wish.

As for the origin of the Jizo Bodhisattva, there are many legends, and Bai Wuchang told me that the current Jizo Bodhisattva is Jin Qiaojue. During the Tang Dynasty, in what is now North Korea, then called Silla, there was a prince Kim Jo-jue who became a monk and practiced, and later he crossed the sea by boat and came to China to seek Buddhism. When he came to Anhui, he saw that the peaks of Jiuhua Mountain were stacked, which was a good place for cultivation, so he chose a place to live in the mountains and devoted himself to cultivation.

Later, when Jin Qiaojue passed away, he instructed his disciples to bury him in a jar and open it three years later. Three years later, after his disciple opened the cylinder, he was surprised to see that Jin Qiaojue's body was not rotten, the bone joints could still move, and the sound of golden locks was also emitted. This phenomenon is exactly the same as the situation recorded in the Buddhist scriptures when the Jizo Bodhisattva passed away, so people in Buddhism believe that Jin Qiaojue is an incarnation of the Jizo Bodhisattva.

Buddhist believers built a true body treasure book for Jin Qiaojue on the Shenguang Ridge of Jiuhua Mountain to support Jin Qiaojue's body, so it is also called the Body Tower. Therefore, Jiuhua Mountain is considered to be the practice ground of Jizo Bodhisattva, because Jin Qiaojue's surname is Jin, so the world calls the Jizo Bodhisattva of Jiuhua Mountain Jin Jizo.

The statues of the Bodhisattvas in the temple are all plump, the treasure is solemn, only the Jiuhua Mountain Jin Jizo is tall, skinny as wood, this is because the Jin Jizo life is penance. That truth is the mount of Jizo Bodhisattva. Di Ting is often prostrate under the sutra of the Jizo Bodhisattva, which is a psychic beast. It has the divine power to protect the master, drive away evil and avoid evil, and distinguish between right and wrong; It also has the spiritual signs of knowing the world, opening up the financial road, and showing auspicious luck.

When Tang Xuanzang was on the way to learn the scriptures, the six-eared macaque and Sun Xingzhi staged a real and false Monkey King, when the gods and Buddhas could not distinguish their true and false, only the Buddha who 'sat on the ground and listened to eight hundred, lying on the ear to listen to three thousand' and the Buddha could identify the real and false Monkey King.

At that time, Jin Qiaojue saw through the red dust, crossed the sea with a white dog and came to China, cut his hair and became a monk. The white dog accompanied Jin Qiaojue all the way to a bumpy road, Zhuo Xi Jiuhua. In the 75 years of common penance, the white dog and Jin Qiaojue have been with each other day and night, turning evil into good fortune everywhere. Until Jin Qiaojue sat down, the white dog actually died with Jin Qiaojue at the same time.

Because the white dog has accompanied Jin Qiaojue all his life, therefore, when Jin Qiaojue was offered to Jin Jizang, the white dog was also offered together and was regarded as the embodiment of Di Ting.

Diting has the ability to 'sit on the ground and listen to 800, and lie down to listen to 3,000', because when the divine beast listens, it often leans over the ground and listens with its ears close to the ground, so it is also called 'earth listening'.

At the same time, the earth also contains the meaning of the heart. The Tibetan Tibetan Emperor exclaimed: Ji Shou is pure in heart, and there is no end to the great mercy of the Buddha. Therefore, those who can listen with their hearts are 'good listeners'. Earth hearing can discern the voice of all things in the world, especially good at listening to people's hearts, can take care of good and evil, and listen to the good and the foolish.

The Buddha statues offered in the Buddha gate, the main Buddha and the Bodhisattva, one on the left and one on the right, are called attendants, and they are those who practice with the Bodhisattva or Buddha. Jiuhua Mountain's Jin Dizang's left and right attendants were still father and son before their deaths!

It is said that Jin Qiaojue crossed the ocean to China to shave his hair and become a monk, and when he entered Jiuhua Mountain to practice, he only practiced alone in a remote cave in Jiuhua Mountain.

When Jin Qiaojue was successful in his cultivation, he decided to establish a temple in Jiuhua Mountain to promote Buddhism. Because Jiuhua Mountain at that time was owned by a member surnamed Min, Jin Qiaojue asked Min Yuanwai, Min Yuanwai asked Jin Qiaojue what he wanted to transform, and Jin Qiaojue only needed to turn into a large robe.

Min Yuanwai's financial resources are not trivial, he was originally going to give Jin Qiaojue a few acres of land for him to build a temple, but he didn't expect Jin Qiaojue to be just a robe of land, Min Yuanwai was surprised, and naturally had no time to think about it and generously agreed.

After Min Yuanwai agreed, he saw Jin Qiaojue's robe shake slightly, and the robe floated in the air, and when he saw the wind, it grew up, and finally covered nine peaks. This made Min Yuanwai both very surprised, but also eye-opening, sighing unprecedentedly, from quiet and surprised, from surprise and joy, and sincerely dedicated the whole mountain to the living Bodhisattva in front of him.

Min Yuanwai broke his family wealth and built a temple for Jin Qiaojue, a monk who held strict precepts and practiced hard. After the completion of the monastery, Jin Qiaojue finally had the conditions to practice the dojo and accept disciples to spread the Dharma.

Jin Qiaojue became famous because of this, and many good men and women came to worship and make offerings. Even the monks of Silla Kingdom heard about it, and they also led the sea to come to China to serve. Min Yuanwai first asked his son to worship a high monk as a teacher, and then he also happily took refuge and practiced diligently. So far, the attendants on the left and right of the Jizo statue in the Jiuhua Mountain Temple are the Min father and son.

After listening to Bai Wuchang's words, I truly understood the origin of Jizo Bodhisattva and his Diting Divine Beast and the realm of Jizo Bodhisattva's great compassion.

Bai Wuchang said with a grin: "King Ming, just now you have seen the appearance of the ghost being tried outside the first hall, so we don't have to enter." Before I take you to Hell to watch, I will tell you which ones are going to Hell when they die! ”
