Chapter 473: Old Immortal
"Old Immortal?"
When all the yin spirits saw this old man, they were all stunned, and then they took a few steps up one after another, and asked respectfully: "Old immortal, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
Since these yin spirits saw this old man, they were respectful, and none of them dared to make small movements at will in front of the old man.
The old man smiled and said, "Can't I come, old man?" ”
"Where, where...... The old fairy naturally went anywhere. Yin Soul nodded again and again, and then said: "It's just that the immortal is rare to see once in a thousand years, why did he come to Yin Mountain today, I don't know what happened?" ”
The old fairy said: "Lao Weng, I came by ferry, naturally I came to pick up the destined people." ”
"Pick up someone who is destined?" All the yin spirits were stunned, their faces full of doubts, and they asked, "I don't see anyone here, how can I come to cross the black water?" ”
At this time, we also widened our eyes and looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of us. It is not difficult to guess that this old man thinks that he is the boatman who ferries here, and the person he said about receiving the fate is obviously taking people across the black water and going to Penglai Immortal Island.
To be honest, Chen Xianyi and I were a little nervous, thinking that this old man came to pick us up on purpose?
"Hahaha......" The old immortal looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, as if he was amused by the words of the yin spirit.
The Yin Ghost asked the old man, "Old Immortal, why are you suddenly laughing?" ”
The old fairy looked up at us, and when he met his eyes, I felt that he was nodding his head at me, and showing a slight smile, as if he knew me. Then, he turned his eyes to the ghost who asked him, pointed at me, and said, "They are the people I came to pick up this time!" ”
Hearing this, the spirits were taken aback and stared at us, their faces full of disbelief.
To be honest, when we heard that the old fairy said that he was here to pick us up, several of us were also stunned, and then we became excited. In this way, we can really go to Penglai Island.
At that moment, I made a gesture to the old immortal and said, "Disciple Chen Ergou, I have seen the old immortal Weng. ”
At the same time, Chen Xianyi, Lao Tang, and Yang Qing also hurriedly learned from me to make a gesture to the old immortal, and they were respectful.
The old immortal smiled, stopped his hand, and said, "Old acquaintance, why do you need such etiquette." ”
I was stunned, confused, and thought to myself, could it be that this old man is the same boatman who crossed the black water with me thousands of years ago? Otherwise, how could he say that he was an old acquaintance.
Just when I was surprised, the ghosts who were even more surprised than us couldn't help it at this time, and asked the old immortal Weng one after another: "Xianweng, ...... You can't be mistaken, he'...... They are ghosts, not people, how did they leave this town? ”
The old fairy Weng smiled: "How can they be ghosts, you are wrong, they are human." ”
All the yin spirits were shocked, and they couldn't help but look around us, and then frowned, and said, "Where are they people, they are clearly ghosts like us." ”
The old immortal said: "If you don't believe it, you ask themselves?" ”
All the yin spirits looked at us, because now there are old immortals, and these yin spirits really don't harm us, so I said to all the yin spirits: "I'm really sorry, the fairy is right, we are indeed human beings. Because he first arrived here, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he performed a small technique to collect the yang fire. ”
After saying that, I reconnected the yang fire of several of us. The yang fire was rekindled, and all the yin spirits suddenly realized.
At this time, the old immortal said: "They are not only people, but this is the person you have been waiting for for a thousand years. As he said this, the old fairy pointed at me.
At this moment, all the yin spirits were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't react for a while, but soon, they exclaimed: "He...... He was the little Taoist priest from a thousand years ago? The plague god? ”
All the ghosts opened their mouths wide and looked at me with both panic and excitement. Obviously, the punishment I gave them at the beginning made them fear and fear in their hearts.
The old immortal nodded, "It's him." He is the little Taoist priest thousands of years ago, the plague god who will not be able to get out of your town here for thousands of years! Now that the millennium had passed, he had returned. ”
Hearing the words of the old immortal, I also understood that I was indeed the little Taoist priest thousands of years ago. The story that the Shade told before was indeed me.
Seeing that all the Yin Spirits were looking at me in astonishment, I nodded and admitted, "I am indeed a plague god in this life. ”
After saying this, I couldn't help but feel guilty in my heart, although those people were jealous at the beginning, causing Xiaoqian to be swallowed by black water, showing the sinister nature of people's hearts. However, because of my momentary anger, many innocent souls who died on the sea were also trapped on Yin Mountain.
I thought that those innocent souls would resent me, blame me, and hate me, but I never thought that when those ghosts saw that I confessed that they were plague gods, they didn't blame me at all, but they all cried and wiped their tears to tell their suffering, saying that they should not have been born with jealousy and planted evil consequences, and now they have come to their senses and begged me to break their thousand-year-old vow and let them live.
At this time, the old immortal also said: "Viciousness is also human nature, and the evil of human nature should be punished, but now that it has been punished for thousands of years, it is time to set them free." ”
In fact, this time is similar to the situation encountered when crossing the Nai He Bridge in the underworld, although people are divided into good and evil, but evil is also caused by human nature, people have seven emotions and six desires, and they are destined to have selfishness and greed. I have been punished for my hatred, but I have also made my own life miserable because of my hatred. The order of the plague god will kill his family by birth, he will have no father and mother, and he will be lonely and miserable all his life......
Grandpa is right, people should not be hated, all kinds of suffering start from hate, this is not false at all.
At that moment, I said to the old immortal and the ghosts: "I also regret it, but I don't know how to break the thousand-year-old vow, and the immortal will teach me?" ”
The old fairy pointed to the intersection where we came, and said, "Have you ever seen the stone monument at the intersection when you came?" ”
I nodded and said I did. The stele was very tall and large, and according to Lao Tang, it was written with the words "Netherworld Yin Mountain".
The old immortal said: "That was when you made an oath that day, saying that you would make this place a secluded capital on the sea, and the sky could not be controlled, the earth could not be controlled, and people could not be controlled. As soon as the chrysostom fell, the golden letters fell on the stone. The inscription is in one day, the oath is in one day, and the yin soul of Yin Mountain is trapped by it for one day. ”
I was amazed, I never thought that the wish I made when I became an immortal would be so manifest. But when you think about it, it suddenly becomes clear, because every bodhisattva or god makes a wish when he becomes an immortal. For example, the king of Jizo, such as Kannon......
It is said that when King Jizo became a Buddha, he vowed that hell would not be empty, and he vowed not to become a Buddha, but he remained in hell forever and failed to become a Buddha. And Guanyin made a vow to purify all sentient beings, so he has been saving suffering and saving sentient beings, and finally called "Great Compassion and Great Compassion to Save Suffering and Save Suffering, Nan Uninspired Guanyin Bodhisattva".
However, my vow was contrary to theirs, but I vowed to punish the evil of the world and carry out the plague in the next thousand years when the next daffodils bloomed, so that the world would taste the suffering of being swallowed by the black sky, so I became a plague god.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, and I knew that it was too late to repent. So he asked the immortal, "The stele is as tall as a stone wall, how can I remove it?" ”
"Heart's work can be solved!" The old fairy smiled, and then went to the stone tablet first. Seeing this, we quickly followed.
Soon, we came to the stone tablet, and the old fairy pointed to the stone tablet and said the word "please".
I glanced at everyone and found that all the Yin Spirits were looking at me expectantly, while Yang Qing and Chen Xianyi were more curious, curious if I could really break the vow I made a thousand years ago.
To be honest, at this time, my heart was also up and down, with a little nervousness, because I didn't know if the method that the old fairy said was really effective, after all, this matter is really mysterious and mysterious for me now, beyond my cognition.
However, when I saw the longing gaze of those ghosts, I didn't want to delay, and immediately bit my index finger, and blood flowed out. The "heart blood" mentioned by the old fairy Weng actually refers to the blood of the fingertips, which is the so-called ten fingers connecting the heart, which is what he said.
Originally, I planned to use blood to erase the four words "Netherworld Yin Mountain" on it, but this stone tablet is too big, and the four words on the inscription can't be erased with fingertip blood. So, I used the blood of my fingertips to write the words "Return to the Underworld" under the four words "Netherworld Yin Mountain".
"Netherworld Mountain returns to the underworld?" Chen Xianyi and Lao Tang read it.
I nodded: "Yes, the Netherworld Mountain returns to the underworld, I hope that from now on, all the souls who die at sea can go down to the underworld as soon as possible and be reincarnated." ”
