Chapter 127 (Lotus Terrace)

Author: Long Zun Tingbo

The lotus platform floats among the clouds, and the colorful light reflects the sky.

This is the Jizo monastery, preaching and transmitting ghosts and immortals.

I saw the Yin soldier with the big axe in his hand and said angrily: Those who gather to make trouble, there is no forgiveness for killing! After a word, there is really no ghost who dares to take a step forward. This is a ghost who said with a sneer on his face: A few Yin Soldier brothers, you let us go, we will clean up this kid at the next stop, and we will never cause you trouble. I saw the Yin soldier with the big axe in his hand snorted and said: Don't talk about you, even the ghost king comes in person, and you can't think about passing this level without taking the customs clearance documents. The ghost asked suspiciously: I'm going back to find the ghost king, and if I want to clear the customs documents and then arrest people, then you can't let them go for me! The Yin soldier with a big axe replied: Hu Xiaoting is Meng Po's assistant, and he has a helpless aura on his body, and he can pass casually, and this person is not a ghost, just a dead soul, so we don't care if he passes by here or not. After hearing the words of this yin soldier, the ghost immediately said angrily: You obviously don't let us pass, you abuse your power. The yin soldier skimmed the ghost and said with a disdainful face: What's the matter, I just let the two of them pass, I won't let you pass, if you have the ability, you can try it. This ghost sent a whistle like a ruffian, and saw a group of Yin soldiers rushing out of the ghost castle, seeing that the number must be eight hundred, if not a thousand. Only at this time, the ghost with the money in his hand said: Don't think that your ghost king and the Hades King Hades have done those things, we don't know, the whole underworld knows that you are corrupt and bribed, bullying the ghost people, wait until the Lord Hades comes back, see how long you can be arrogant, today I will tell you clearly, don't talk about you stinky fish and rotten shrimp, even if the ghost king comes in person, it is not easy to do it without documents, one by one, I bah! I was secretly happy in my heart, it seems that this is the opponent of the ghost king. Because I heard the eldest sister of the Nine Sons Demon Soul say that this underworld is now two forces, Zhong Kui and the black and white impermanence bull head and horse face, and the road judge are a group of upright people, while the underworld and the ghost king, wasps, leopard tails, bird beaks, and fish gills are a gang, abusing their power to oppress the ghost people. And the king of Hades is also fair and selfless, but he doesn't know where to go for the time being, so he has caused the two major forces in the underworld to oppose each other. However, these Yin soldiers should also be in the same group as Bai Wuchang, Brother Xie and Lu Juan! I saw that the ghost cha said angrily to the people around him: You wait here, I will go back to find the ghost king. With that, he turned around and ran in the direction of the capital city. The ghost with the money in his hand squatted in front of me and said: Little brother, it doesn't matter if you want to, can you still hurry, if you can, I hope you will get on the road quickly, if the ghost king comes with the customs clearance paperwork in a while, we can't stop it. I took a deep breath, entered the six methods of humanity, connected the six methods in series, and once again imaged in my mind, mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts, I floated in mid-air. After a while, I slowly opened my eyes, only to feel that my strength had recovered a lot, and then said: Thank you, Brother Yin Bing, for your help. The Yin soldier was also very embarrassed and said to me: Actually, we also have one thing to ask for to save you, that is, I hope that after you return to the yang, you will help us find Lord Hades back. I thought to myself, after all, people helped me, and I want to return the favor to others! Besides, if you really get the king of Hades back, it will be a good thing, at least you can rectify these corrupt officials in the underworld. So I looked at the yin soldier and replied: Don't worry, as long as I return the yang, I will help you find it. The Yin soldier said to me, "Then little brother, hurry up!" I nodded to the ghost, then picked up Lin Xueting on my back, and continued to walk towards the Nai He Bridge with Hu Xiaoting, walking for about half a day. Suddenly see a huge lotus platform in the middle of the air in front of me, this lotus platform is as big as a huge stadium floating in the air, solemn and solemn people from the heart of a sense of reverence, the sky here is no longer the gloomy haze sky, although there is no sun, but the colorful light shines on the earth, the flowers and trees bloom incomparably brilliant, and the seven-colored clouds in the sky above the lotus platform hovering alternately, the breeze blows in the face, there is a sense of comfort of spring breeze, I just felt that the energy in my body was at its peak in an instant. I turned back to Hu Xiaoting and asked, "Xiaoting, what kind of place is this?" Hu Xiaoting folded her hands into a Buddha and said to me: This is the lotus platform where the Jizo Bodhisattva is preaching to those enlightened ghosts, and it is also the penultimate station of the thirteen stations of the underworld, life will also be very good, life without worrying about food and clothing, enjoy the glory and wealth, the king of the earth made a grand wish, hell is not empty vows not to become a Buddha, so his lotus platform is standing in this earth, here is also the dojo of the Bodhisattva. As soon as I heard that this was the place of Jizo Bodhisattva, a feeling of re-encountering the deceased was derived again, if it weren't for my unobtrusive master Zhou Gong and this compassionate Jizo King Bodhisattva, I would not have realized the Six Laws of Humanity, and after obtaining the Six Laws of Humanity, although the fate brought to me was very sad, but it also really made me understand and see a lot of things, I have not experienced. It has also helped me a lot in my growth. I walked slowly towards the lotus platform, and after a few steps, I saw the left side of the lotus platform, looming like a big boxy iron cage-like building, this building is about the same size as the lotus platform, I asked Hu Xiaoting again: Xiaoting, what is that building! Hu Xiaoting looked around and said: What kind of building, why didn't I see it? I thought to myself, maybe it was because I was wearing these glasses, so I took them off, but when I took off my glasses, I could still see the building, which was strange, why could I see it, but Hu Xiaoting couldn't see it? I was wondering when I heard a solemn and charitable voice say from above: "It's the city of the dead." I saw a monk in the sky wearing a robe, holding a Zen staff, sitting on a white mount that seemed to be a big white dog, this mount looks like a white dog, and is different from the white dog, there seems to be scale armor on the body, a single horn on the head, and huge eyes. I saw this white dog carrying the King of Jizo on his feet and floating towards me with seven-colored clouds. Who else could this man be if he wasn't the king of Jizo? When I saw the Jizo Bodhisattva come to me, he also folded his hands and said to me, "King of people, do you remember the poor monk?" I also put my hands together and said to Jizo Bodhisattva: Thank you Jizo Bodhisattva for guiding me and helping me return to the yang. Jizo Bodhisattva smiled, and then said: It seems that the wisdom of you, the king of people, is really not simple, and you can actually see the void city of death. Hu Xiaoting stepped forward and said to the Bodhisattva of the Earth: Isn't it just a legend that the Bodhisattva's vain city is in the underworld? I didn't expect it to exist?

Jizo Bodhisattva said kindly: The Three Realms and the Six Realms all have laws, and the souls in this vain city of death do not exist in the Three Realms and Six Realms, and belong to the loopholes of the Heavenly Dao, and mortals think that this vain death is not a normal death due to illness, but in fact, a person's life and death and the reincarnation of a soul are recorded in the book of life and death of yin and yang, and the cause of death of the ghosts in this vain city is not recorded in the book of life and death, for example, the book of life and death records that a person should live to be 60 years old and die in a car accident, But this person lived to be 50 years old and died in a car accident, ten years earlier than the book of life and death, this is a vain death, and this vain death must spend his yang life in this vain city, before he can become a dead soul and go to Huangquan Road. There is also a kind of cause of death that does not match the book of life and death, obviously it should have died of illness, but there was an accident, although Yang Shou arrived, but the cause of death was not paid, and he would come to this city of death, reshape the death method in the book of life and death, and then set foot in Huangquan. Therefore, since Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, this vain city of death has been standing in this underworld, and it can be said that this vain city also belongs to a heavenly thing, to repair these people who have died due to loopholes, and those who have no great wisdom cannot see the city of vain death that belongs to the heavenly way. Since the king of men can see this city of vain death, it means that your fate as a king of men is also given by heaven, and everything is fate.

Listening to the Jizo King Bodhisattva say this, I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand, after all, this Heavenly Dao is not Heavenly Dao is not fatal, I have never seen it, how can I understand. Since these things can't be figured out, then it doesn't take that brain, I thought to myself, once Uncle Wan and Uncle Lin said that people have eight senses, and these eight senses seem to be really difficult to awaken, and now I have seen the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, isn't this going deep into Baoshan? How can I go home empty-handed? I was just about to ask the Jizo Bodhisattva how to awaken his eight senses, but I heard a voice behind me shouting to me: "You are a wretch, you dare to come to my Shuai Mansion to rob the soul." I heard the voice and turned to look, and saw a monster with a horn on its head, full of the color of a Smurf, appeared behind me, this ghost looked so ugly, with fangs, nostrils turned up, two big ears of fanning, and a tall horse sitting on a seat pulled by four giant dogs. On the stage, there are ghosts standing in front of and behind him. It's a big show! At this time, the king of Jizo walked out from behind me and Hu Xiaoting, clasped his hands together and said: Amitabha, ghost friends, why did Xingshi move the crowd to come to the poor monk's humble place. Sitting. As soon as the ghost king on the stage saw that it was Jizo Bodhisattva, he hurriedly got out of the car, folded his hands and said to Jizo Bodhisattva: I don't know that Jizo Bodhisattva is also here, please bear with me if I disturb your lecture on the scriptures, I was also ordered to arrest this soul body and step on the realm, so I had to do it as a last resort. I sneered and said: Is it a soul body stepping into the realm, or forcibly bringing a soul body into the realm, this is really hard to say? When the ghost king saw that I told me about him forcibly taking Lin Xueting's soul body to the ghost city of Xudu, his eyes stared at me deadly, and there was a faint trace of killing intent. At this time, I saw that this thing did not change, and I was not overwhelmed by his eyes, because what I have always hated the most is this kind of person, and I especially hate this kind of corrupt officials in the yang world, and now there is such a guy in this underworld, not to mention robbing the soul, and he came here to arrest me under the pretense of public help, and I am very angry when I think of this. So I also used a gaze that wanted to crush his bones and scatter ashes to the eyes of the ghost king. At this moment, the King of Jizo stepped forward and said to the Ghost King: Ghost Daoist, why is there a huge underworld, heavily guarded, and there are still souls stepping into the realm, why didn't this soul become a ghost and walked so far to this twelfth station, haven't you thought about it? How can you and I decide the fate of this heavenly way?

The ghost king was also stunned when he heard this, but his expression was fleeting. I saw the ghost king say in a straight voice: I am just acting in public service, and I hope that Jizo Bodhisattva will not be surprised. Jizo Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and said, "Ghost friend, the poor monk advises you, don't act against the sky." The ghost king still said disdainfully: "Jizo Bodhisattva, we are all in this heavenly path, I am one of the ten yin commanders of the underworld, and what I do also belongs to the heavenly path, so I don't think I did anything wrong." When the Jizo Bodhisattva heard this, he just folded his hands and recited a Buddha name without saying any more. A ghost word lit up above the ghost king's head, and the yin qi on his body fluttered and wanted to make a move, and I was ready to fight, mixed with purple qi gushing out. And at this moment, the big white dog, the mount of the Jizo Bodhisattva, suddenly spoke: What a bold man, he disobeys the way of heaven, and his heart is not good. After that, the body jumped in front of me, and showed an angry expression to the ghost king, at this time the appearance of the big white dog completely changed, only to see the big white dog at this time, mixed with fire, and the fire that came out of the white dog's body, really scared me, the feeling of this flame I am too familiar with, this is the exclusive fire of the underworld, and at this time the mouth of this white dog is still flowing red saliva, I take a closer look, his uncle, where is the saliva flowing in the mouth of this white dog! It's a stream of hot lava. Later, I learned from Hu Xiaoting that this white dog is the legendary divine beast Hell Roar, I want to say this name no one will know, then talk about another name of this divine beast, this divine beast is the true and false Monkey King in our Journey to the West episode, only the Buddha and this white dog can distinguish the true and false Great Sage. When I really saw this divine beast, it really made me feel a shock, once I only thought that this divine beast only had the ability to listen to the hearts of all things, and now I see this divine beast and the power with the oppressive sense of death, who can not be shocked. I saw the ghost king, seeing this expression at this time, then took a deep breath, dispersed the mixed yin qi and said to me: The quiet place of Buddhism is indeed not suitable for arresting you here, but don't be complacent, don't want to escape from the boundaries of this underworld. After that, he turned around and left the lotus platform with all the ghosts. Nadi heard that he changed back to his original appearance, turned around and walked to the Jizo King, and I said to the Jizo King with his hands folded, "Thank you Jizo King for your help." King Jizo sent a Buddha name again, and then said: The poor monk will only lead people to goodness, just now this truth can hear the voice of the heart of all things, the reason why he opened his eyes angrily at the ghost friend, that is to show the voice of the ghost friend, his former heart to the Tao has deviated from the former position. King of people, you still have the fate you want to complete, this is the fate given to you by the way of heaven, so don't be persistent, just go with the flow. I folded my hands again. At this time, the king of Jizo was already sitting on top of Na Di Ting, and he saw Di Ting stepping on the seven-colored clouds and floating back to the lotus platform. And I turned around and continued to walk with Hu Xiaoting towards the last stop of Nadifu, Nai He Bridge
