We are all so immersed in the myths depicted by the sage that we can't help ourselves. And King Jizo was the first to come to his senses. "I seem to get it," he said. You mean, let me attain enlightenment in the Three Immortals Mountain? ”

He nodded, "Not bad." In the human world, you only have one year, but in the Three Immortals Mountain, there are hundreds of years. If, within a hundred years, you can't attain enlightenment and succeed and merge good and evil into one, then there's no way. ”

King Jizo nodded, and said confidently: "Three hundred years, enough, enough. ”

He shook his head: "I've heard a little about you. I have to say, you are very perceptive. In fact, with your true strength, I'm afraid you will be able to understand it in a year. But now it's different, your good thoughts are contrary to your evil thoughts. When you're going to put your mind to enlightenment, there's another one that's holding you back, and that's going to be difficult, it's too difficult. ”

After saying this, King Jizo also nodded and said, "It's really not easy, but I'll do my best." ”

When we returned to Bohai Village, the villagers all knelt down reverently when they saw the swaggers. It seems that he often wanders around in human form, otherwise the villagers here would not have been able to recognize him at a glance.

He waved his hand loudly, and then took a few of us and walked towards the ancestral hall.

We walked inside the giant tortoise shell. It's like living in a room.

Wushuang pointed to the turtle shell above his head and asked, "Could it be that this is the Three Immortal Mountain?" ”

Zhen Tun shook his head: "The Three Immortal Mountains are my old ancestor, and no one knows how his old man cultivated that strange power, which can affect time. However, even such a powerful master died in the end. ”

Wushuang asked in surprise, "How did you die?" ”

"No one knows. Perhaps, it's because he's lived too long. From the beginning of the world to the last few thousand years, this kind of longevity has gone against the way of heaven. ”

The abbot said with some disappointment: "It turns out that the immortals are not immortal? ”

He smiled and said, "In this world, nothing is eternal. You can cultivate longevity and heavenly qi. But the longer you live, the more accidents you may encounter. Floods, fires, lightning strikes...... Maybe one day, if you are not careful, you will die. Therefore, longevity is useless, and it is impossible for this side of the world to allow eternal life to exist. Even Pangu, Nuwa, Fuxi. Aren't these oldest and most powerful beings also gone? ”

King Jizo was suddenly moved, and said, "A teaching, it makes people feel stunned. ”

He accepted it calmly and said, "I have survived much longer than you, and I have experienced a lot of life and death, so there are some things that I am qualified to teach you." ”

King Jizo always looked respectful.

The abbot scratched his head and said, "Where is that Three Immortal Mountain?" Let's send King Jizo to him quickly, otherwise this day will be delayed, and he will lose a year of enlightenment. ”

He nodded and said, "After the old ancestor died, his turtle shell was buried in the ground. This turtle shell still has that magical power. ”

Then he said to King Jizo, "You go down from here. It is equivalent to after coming into contact with the Three Immortals Mountain, you will have a feeling. ”

King Jizo nodded and said goodbye to us. Then it sank into the ground.

We stayed in the ancestral hall for a while, feeling a little bored, so we walked out.

The abbot asked, "How big is that turtle shell?" ”

He straightened his arm and drew a circle in the air: "The entire village of Bohai Village, plus the farmland around him, and the nearby sea, are all within the scope of the Three Immortals Mountain. ”

The abbot asked him again, "When will King Jizo come back this time?" ”

He shook his head: "This, I don't know. Maybe it will be a long time. ”

In the beginning, we waited every day for King Jizo to return to the earth. But day after day passed, and as time went on, we gradually lost our patience. We have a vague feeling that perhaps, King Jizo will really come to enlightenment for a long time.

It's useless to be in a hurry anyway. We stayed in Bohai Village, where we helped with fishing and farming. Life is like an intellectual youth who goes to the mountains and the countryside.

We once asked the villagers, "Why don't you help the villagers get rich?" It's unreasonable for people to be buried here in the burial place of Sanxian Mountain, who has worked so hard to maintain it, but you have made your family poor for generations. ”

"No one let them stay here. These people are purely voluntary, when Sanxian Mountain died, their ancestors had seen it, so they stayed here, just because they felt that the feng shui here was good and wanted to get some cheapness. Why should I help them? ”

I don't understand what I said. But I have to say that there is nothing wrong with his choice.

We stayed in Bohai Village for almost two years. During this time, we used to go to the village of Three Clads.

The first time I went, the streets were full of sick people. After years of working in the factory, they have more or less contracted some dark diseases.

However, when I went back the second time, I saw that there were very few patients. Some of them have passed away from serious illnesses, and some have been cured. The streets were full of idle people, and they soon became the same as Bohai Village, reverting to poverty.

The third time I got there, I saw that the village was almost empty. I inquired, and it turned out that a large number of villagers here have left their homes and gone to the city to find work.

They used to have a good life, and I am afraid that they will no longer be willing to be poor.

Two years passed quickly. But Jizo still didn't move.

A few of us waited anxiously every day, dragging on day after day.

In the end, we couldn't wait. I have to admit: "It's too late, this time, I'm afraid it's going to be worse." ”

Wushuang said, "Otherwise, I'll go down and see what the situation is with King Jizo?" ”

The stumbling stopped her: "You'd better not go down." According to the time in the Three Immortal Mountains, the great monk has been enlightened for hundreds of years. At this time, it is likely to be at a juncture. You go down now, wake him up, and I'm afraid everything will fail. ”

Wushuang had to nod, and then said, "The three-year period is coming up. We must go back to the underworld. Hopefully, with our strength, we will be able to solve the problems there. ”

Wushuang's words are very lacking in confidence. After all, in our minds, the old Hades always looks like a scheming and calculating, and since she has arranged to bring the Jizo King back within three years, then perhaps, there is really something that the Jizo King has to do.

The sum of the three of us can naturally beat Wen Yu, but a few years have passed, and who knows what the situation is in the underworld?

As if sensing our concerns, he said, "I can follow you to the underworld. Perhaps, there is something that can help. Hey, I haven't seen the old Hades for thousands of years. ”

Wushuang was overjoyed: "Are you willing to come with us?" That's great, and that way, we have a good chance of winning. ”

He waved his hand: "Don't expect too much from me, if you count purely by strength, I may not be as good as you." ”

Wushuang glared and said, "How is it possible? You're so powerful...... Lived so long. Even the king of Jizo will listen to your teachings. ”

He was a little embarrassed, he pointed to the abbot and said, "Actually, this strange bird has lived much longer than you, but does he have more strength than you?" There are some things that are not naturally good at power. I'm just rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and I'm not afraid of being beaten. ”

Wushuang nodded, but he was not disappointed, and said, "Anyway, you are also a big help." Shall we go? ”

He nodded, and followed us to the underworld.

We walked from Zhengzhou to Bohai for a whole year. But our journey from the Bohai Sea to the underworld is only a matter of moments.

There are countless Huangquan roads in the world, and their ends are all ghost gates.

The underworld is not hard to find.

We walked all the way along Huangquan Road and found that it was quiet, as usual, and nothing had changed. But it's this lack of change that makes us a little uneasy.
