[Ask for a ticket......]

There were about 3,000 people in the City of Merit, and for this number, Chen Yang felt that it was less. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"There is only so much for the people who are good in the third life?" Chen Yang questioned.

Jizo nodded slightly, but did not explain anything to him.

Chen Yang asked again: "What is the use of entering this city of merit?" ”

Jizo Bodhisattva looked at Chen Yang and asked, "If you die, would you be willing to be reincarnated, or would you be willing to keep your memories?" ”

"Naturally, it's willing to keep the memory."

"These people, if they are reincarnated, are not kings and grandsons, but they are willing to stay."

But what if you stay? What's the use of staying here for the rest of your life, even if you keep your memories? ”

Jizo shook his head and did not speak.

Tang Seng suddenly said: "Could it be that they still have a chance to be reborn?" ”

Chen Yang's eyelids jumped sharply and looked at the Jizo Bodhisattva.

Jizo Bodhisattva shook his head slightly, but still did not speak.

After going around the city of merit, several people walked out of the city.

Jizo Bodhisattva looked into the distance and said, "If you go all the way from here, you will be able to return to the mortal world." ”

This is the order to expel guests, Chen Yang still has many doubts in his heart, and asked, "Bodhisattva, why do you want to save us?" ”

Sun Wukong also looked at him, Tang Seng also looked at him, and they all wanted to know why Jizo Bodhisattva would save them.

Jizo Bodhisattva smiled bitterly and said as he walked, "I'll tell you a story. ”

The three of them did not speak, but listened to the words of Jizo Bodhisattva: "A long time ago, there was a boy whose mother liked to eat fish roe and killed fish every day to get seeds, and committed an unknown number of murders. ”

Ten years later, the boy grew up, and his mother, because of a serious illness, died. The boy was very sad, and every night he dreamed of his mother, and he saw his mother suffering and being punished in the eighteen layers of hell. It's all because she killed too many fish while she was alive. ”

"The boy wanted to save his mother and undo her murder. So the boy did good deeds every day, and before he knew it, fifty years had passed, and the boy had become an old man. But he still insisted on doing good deeds every day, and gradually, the boy's name became known to many people, and someone told the boy that there was a Buddha in Mount Meru. You might as well worship him as a teacher, enter the Buddha's door, learn the Dharma, and have great skills, so that you can do more good deeds. ”

"When the boy learned about it, he went to Mount Meru, he trekked through mountains and rivers, and after more than ten years, he finally came to Mount Meru and met the Buddha."

"Buddha was very fond of boys. He said to the boy, "You are very good, you have such great compassion, if you can learn the Dharma, you will definitely be able to spread the Dharma to the world." ”

The boy told the Buddha the reason for his good deeds, and after hearing this, the Buddha told the boy that because of your good deeds, your mother has been freed from the eighteen levels of hell. The boy didn't believe it, so the Buddha took the boy to the underworld. He went down to the eighteenth layer of hell and came to the place where the boy's mother had suffered, and the boy did not see his mother here. ”

"However, after the boy came to the underworld. But he saw more people suffering, and a voice in his heart told him that he didn't want to see these people suffer, and he hoped that these people could get out of the eighteen layers of hell as soon as possible. ”

The boy told the Buddha about this idea, and the Buddha was very pleased and gave the boy a note. He said that he would become a Buddha in the future. ”

Speaking of this, the three of them understood that the boy was the Jizo Bodhisattva.

But what Chen Yang didn't expect was that Rulai had once conferred a record on the Bodhisattva of Jizo.

That is to say, Jizo Bodhisattva will be the next Nyorai.

But what about Maitreya Buddha?

Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha, and a Jizo Bodhisattva suddenly appeared, wouldn't it take the seat of Maitreya Buddha?

Jizo Bodhisattva's tone did not fluctuate, and he continued: "The boy stayed in the underworld, and other gods and Buddhas came to persuade the boy, they thought that the boy had such great wisdom that he didn't have to stay in the underworld, but the boy was very stubborn, and he couldn't forget the suffering people he saw in the eighteen layers of hell. In order to strengthen his belief and to be grateful for the Buddha's teaching, he made a grand wish in the underworld: If my mother is forever free from the three poisons and the body of a lowly woman and even a woman, she will never be doomed. May I vow to save all the hells in the world and all the sins and sufferings of the three evil realms in the hundreds of billions of eons after today. Leave hell, evil tastes, beasts, hungry ghosts, etc. If you are retribution for your sins, you will become a Buddha, and then I will become enlightened. ”

The great wish of the Jizo Bodhisattva can be summarized as 'All sentient beings are exhausted, the Bodhi is proven, the hell is not empty, and the vow is not to become a Buddha.' ’

"After the boy made a great wish, he became a bodhisattva with the same true mind of all sentient beings and all the minds of all Buddhas. When the Buddha saw this, he said, "Patience is as immobile as the earth, and meditation is as deep as a secret." The world called the Bodhisattva the King of Jizo Bodhisattva. ”

Jizo Bodhisattva said so much, but he didn't explain Chen Yang's doubts at all. Chen Yang was about to ask, but Jizo Bodhisattva continued.

"One day, an unusual man came to the underworld, the man came to the underworld, he came to save people, and was stopped by the boy. When the man saw the boy, he laughed out loud, and his laughter was full of pity and pathos, and he said to the boy: "Your great wish is to make all sentient beings become Buddhas, and then you will become Buddhas, but all sentient beings are endless, and hell is difficult to end, so you will become a bodhisattva of great compassion who will not become a Buddha." ”

After saying this, Jizo Bodhisattva's gaze swept over the faces of the three of them one by one.

After Chen Yang heard this, his heart was shocked, and he seemed to understand something.

Sun Wukong's face was still so calm, he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Tang Seng didn't know whether he understood or didn't understand, his face was puzzled, he was silent for a long time, recited the Buddha's name, and stopped talking.

In the distance, a white shadow came quickly, and the next moment it had already landed beside Jizo Bodhisattva, revealing its form.

This is a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and a unicorn foot, which looks like a dragon but not a dragon, a tiger but not a tiger, a lion but not a lion, a unicorn and not a unicorn, and a dog but not a dog.

I can't see that Jizo Bodhisattva is quite pursuing, and he will keep pets when he has nothing to do on weekdays.

Jizo Bodhisattva introduced the three of them: "This is the truth. ”

Chen Yang suddenly looked at this ...... in surprise Listening.

Di Ting shouted softly a few times, Jizo Bodhisattva seemed to listen attentively, nodded at the end, looked at Tang Seng, stretched out his right hand, and there was a dark and smooth stone in his palm.

"This stone is a three-life stone, and I give it to you today." Jizo Bodhisattva instructed, "You must take it away." ”

Tang Seng took the stone and thanked him, and Jizo Bodhisattva said, "Let's go." ”

Jizo Bodhisattvas have said what they should have said and what they shouldn't have said, and they have no reason to stay.

The three of them said goodbye to the Jizo Bodhisattva, Chen Yang grabbed Tang Seng, and the three of them flew forward.

The three of them were fleeting, and the Jizo Bodhisattva looked at the distant figures of the three people, and suddenly clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha." ”

Di Ting suddenly said, "That's not the way to the mortal world. ”

The smile on Jizo Bodhisattva's face disappeared, and he was expressionless at the moment, and said, "How is it not mortal?" ”

Di Ting sighed and said, "Without these calamities, I don't know if it will be good or bad for him." ”

Jizo Bodhisattva turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said, "If you can't become a Buddha, what's the use of surviving that calamity?" The golden cicada will thank me in the future. ”

……

The three of them flew for an unknown amount of time, and there was a thick fog in front of them, which was as strong as Sun Wukong and Chen Yang, and they were also lost in this thick fog, and they could only continue to move forward.

The fog gradually lifted, and a continuous mountain range came into view.

Chen Yang couldn't help but look stunned, the sky was full of auspicious light and spiritual mist.

Tang Seng was a little addicted and said, "What kind of place is that?" ”

Sun Wukong looked indifferent, snorted lightly, and said, "Monk, that is the spiritual mountain you have been talking about." ”

"The mountain shrouded in colorful auspicious light is the Vulture Peak, where the old man is located."

When Tang Seng learned that he had come to Lingshan, he couldn't help but be excited: "Lingshan, we have arrived!" ”

Sun Wukong put his hands on the golden hoop stick, pressed it on his shoulders, and said, "Let's go." ”

Lingshan, actually came to Lingshan?

Chen Yang had long known that he would come here one day, but he had never thought about what he would do after coming here.

Waiting for Tang Seng to take the scriptures, and then return?

Will it go so well?

Let's hope.

The three of them walked another five or six miles, and their way was blocked by a raging river.

On the river, there was a single-plank bridge, the wood had long since rotted, and it seemed that it was about to break and fall down at any moment.

And next to the bridge, there is a stone stele, there are three big characters on the stele, and the book is "Lingyundu".

Chen Yang's eyelids jumped fiercely, Ling Yundu.

After Lingyundu, mortals were reborn, and immortals went to the next level.

Tang Seng looked at the river several feet high, and said with a bitter face: "How is this good, how can such a big water be crossed." ”

While they were feeling sorry for themselves, one of the lower streamers came to them with a penny and a boat.

Tang Seng was amazed, no matter how turbulent the river was, the small boat was moving forward steadily, without the slightest wave.

Sun Wukong recognized the person who supported the boat at a glance, although Chen Yang had never seen this person, but he also knew that the person who came from the boat at this time should be the Nanwu Treasure Building Guangwang Buddha, that is, the famous Buddha who received the Buddha.

Bringing the Buddha to support the boat, Tang Seng saw clearly that the boat was actually a bottomless boat. But to his astonishment, although the boat was bottomless, the man did not fall down as if he were stepping on the board.

The Buddha shouted from afar: "Come, come." ”

When he got to the shore, he said, "Go to the crossing!" Go to the crossing! ”

When Tang Seng saw it, his heart was shocked, and he said: "You bottomless broken boat, how do you cross people?" ”

The Buddha said: "My ship Hongmeng has a reputation in the first judgment, but fortunately I have survived and not changed." There are waves, winds and self-stability, and there is no end and no beginning. The six dusts can be one, and the ten thousand calamities can be safely and freely. The bottomless boat is sad to cross the sea, and now it has crossed the crowd through the ages. ”

Chen Yang looked at the Buddha, looked at the bottomless boat, watched the turbulent Lingyun crossing the river, took a breath, and a picture appeared in his mind.

It was a monk, the monk's name was Shanhui, he stepped on a bottomless boat, led a group of Taoists to the crossing, and from time to time there were corpses floating down from the upper stream. (To be continued.) )
