Chapter 184, Emptiness Coming Out of the Fire of Karma.
I walked up to this little ghost and watched him slowly raise his head, and in an instant, it was as if all the sounds in the world had disappeared, as if time had stopped.
That little face, with a hint of fear, a little trepidation, and even a little confusion.
It's just that the face of this black shadow is exactly the same as mine, and there is no difference.
I took two steps back, not even daring to look at the ghost's face, which surprised me so much that even the ghost's expression had the same detail as mine.
It was as if I was looking in the mirror.
"Master of Empty Purity, what's going on?"
Although I lack fire in the five elements, there are very few people in the world who have all the five elements, but this does not affect whether a person's soul is complete or not.
"Luo Yan, you don't have to panic, this powerful ghost is called a hundred-faced ghost, it has no true face of its own, it will only constantly change into other people's faces, so, in fact, it has no direct relationship with you. If it is indirect, it is perhaps, where has this hundred-faced ghost seen you, attracted by your breath and turned into your face. ”
The Master of Purification explained with a smile, which calmed my mind down a little. The sudden sight of a face identical to my own really startled me.
"The master said that this terrible ghost refuses to ascend to heaven?"
I asked, confused.
"Yes, I tried to influence the Buddha statue of King Jizo and two strings of Buddhist beads blessed with Buddha power to make it ascend to heaven, but it was very obsessed with it, and it just refused to leave, which made me very strange. But after seeing its face, I think maybe you'll have a solution. ”
Hearing the words of the Master of Void Purification, I nodded and looked at the small black shadow in front of me, and crouched down, ready to communicate with it.
Powerful ghosts, not all of them can speak human language, so you will find that many powerful ghosts can only say a few simple characters or musical scales after seeing you, this is because their spiritual intelligence will be greatly reduced after death, and they will not be able to become a powerful ghost of more than a hundred years, or they will not evolve into ghosts and gods, and these powerful ghosts will never be able to speak fluently. Of course, there are also some people who are very obsessed, or who have just died. Many of the ghosts who stay in the world are extremely obsessed, so it is not surprising that they can speak fluently.
However, it was clear that this hundred-faced ghost in front of me was not one of them.
So, I had to communicate with them in a language that the ghosts could understand, not a nonsense, but a phrase called Yin Shen Yan.
As I mentioned before, ghost words or underworld language are extremely difficult to master, and they are a profound language of the underworld that is difficult for humans to learn. So later, the human monks came up with a compromise method, which was to create a simple sentence composed of musical scales, which the ghosts could barely understand and humans could grasp.
This language is called, Yin Yin Yan.
I crouched down, looked at Hundred-Faced, and asked, "Where did you see my face?" ”
The hundred-faced ghost was obviously not smart enough, and after hearing my words, he was stunned for a long time before he said, "In the human world." ”
This answer was as if there was no answer, which made me extremely unhappy, and I immediately asked, "Why don't you leave the underworld?" ”
The hundred-faced ghost was stunned for a long time before he said, "I want to, get back, my face." ”
This answer makes me puzzled, they all say that the hundred-faced ghost has no face of his own, and has been relying on changing the faces of others to show people, and at this time he even said that he wanted to find his face, isn't this equivalent to the thief going to the police to say that the things he stole are missing, is it the same? 、
"Your face? Which face do you have? ”
I asked, confused in my voice.
"My original face, I'm going to find it. Otherwise, the resentment will not disappear. ”
The hundred-faced ghost answered my words intermittently, which gave me a headache, a powerful ghost who originally had no face actually wanted to find a face, and if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't have gone away, wouldn't this have entered a dead knot?
I raised my head and looked at Master Kongjing, who said in a moment of contemplation: "I see, if you hadn't come, I, a Zen monk, would really not know how to speak in the dark." Now that I know what happened, it's easy to do, and I'll get it back. ”
What the Master of Air Purification said is very confident, which makes me a little surprised, is there really a way in the world to find the face of the hundred-faced ghost?
"My method is simple, take its face and restore it to its original face."
The empty big hand was gently placed on the face of the hundred-faced ghost, and the Buddha power spread out slightly from his palm, and the hundred-faced ghost let out a miserable scream, and the face that imitated me was biomorphized by the Buddha's light. A stranger's face appeared.
I could feel the white-faced ghost's body wrestling, and I could feel its pain.
However, the Master of Empty Purity did not stop, and the Buddha power in his hand did not dissipate, and this second face was also dissolved, and this time, the hundred-faced ghost let out another mournful cry, and he was in pain.
"Master, isn't this a bit too much, if it doesn't want to ascend to heaven, let it stay in the underworld."
The hundred-faced ghost covered his face, and although it didn't bleed from its wounds like a human would, I could feel its pain.
However, Master Empty Purity ignored me, the Buddha light in his hand was still strong, and the third face of the hundred-faced ghost was dissolved.
"Ahh
The roar of the hundred-faced ghost this time was even more tragic than the previous two times, and I was so cautious when I heard it.
However, the Master of Empty Purity still stood calmly in front of the Hundred-Faced Ghost, and the Buddha light in his hand burst out again, transforming the fourth face of the Hundred-Faced Ghost.
"Ahh Yes! ”
The hundred-faced ghost held its face again, the pain emanating from the depths of its soul, irrepressible, and it trembled in pain.
However, the Master of Empty Purity still didn't stop, the Buddha light in his hand strengthened a little, and this time, it seemed that he wanted to instantly melt all the faces of the Hundred-Faced Ghost.
The Buddha's light gradually shone, and the hundred-faced ghost instinctively wanted to escape, but was imprisoned by a Buddha's light and could not escape.
"Let it go."
At the moment when the Buddha's light erupted, as soon as I grasped the hand of the Master of Emptiness, the invisible power instantly dissolved the Buddha's power in the hands of the Master of Emptiness.
At this time, the Master of Empty Purity slowly raised his head, and I saw his eyes, which were still black, but I seemed to see something different from these black eyes.
One is something that should not be in the eyes of this Buddhist monk, something that is called evil.
The intention of the Buddhist ordination is to suppress the ** in the hearts of monks, and not to break the precepts, that is, not to touch the ** in the heart.
However, I saw an evil thought in my empty eyes just now, and even I was suppressed by him in an instant, and I even wondered if I was wrong.
"Luo Yan, you're actually harming it by doing this. If you can't ascend to heaven, all the evil ghosts will sink into this sea of suffering in the underworld. You seem to save it, but in fact you just make it more painful. ”
Hearing the words of the Master of Emptiness, I slowly let go of my hand, and the Buddha's light once again condensed in the hands of the Master of Emptiness, and the hundred-faced ghost was swept by the Buddha's light in a panic, and let out a scream of pain.
Its face melted away one by one, and this process lasted for a very long time, and its screams echoed throughout the ghost street, and even the ghosts around it retreated in horror.
After melting away countless faces, there was only a hollow in the face of the hundred-faced ghost, which was a darkness, like deep ink, and it was impossible to see everything inside.
"Lord Luo Shi, please tell it that your face does not exist, ascend to heaven."
The Master of Empty Purification said lightly.
I nodded, squatted down and looked at the grimace and said lightly, "Ascension, your face is in the sky." ”
The hundred-faced ghost gently lowered his hand, the empty darkness faced me, the body gradually disappeared, a Buddha light shone on its body, and the hundred-faced ghost completely ascended to heaven.
I slowly stood up, and the Master of Void Purification smiled at me and said, "Thank you for your help. ”
I nodded, trying to find the trace of evil that I had just seen in the black eyes of the Master of Purity, but at this moment, what I saw was still the Master of Purity, full of Buddha nature and with a mysterious smile.
At this time, a ghost and god guard of the Rakshasa clan behind me walked up to me, looked at me and said, "Your Excellency Luo Yan, please come to the meeting hall, there is something that needs you to go over once." ”
"Okay."
I replied simply, smiled at the Master of Empty Purity, and followed this Rakshasa ghost god guard out of the ghost street, today may just be a trivial matter, but in my opinion, the Master of Empty Purity has been reborn from the karmic fire, maybe some things have changed.
Walking into the meeting hall, I saw that the ghosts and gods of the three clans were there, and there were obvious traces of fighting, I guessed with the back of my head that the old Shura and the old Yaksha must have made a move, and they were stopped by the old Rakshasa , otherwise with the old Shura's current body, they would not be able to take the old Yaksha's move.
"Luo Yan is here, then I'll say that we have decided to come down, we can set off and go to the core area of Buzhou Mountain, we need your help when the Nirvana Great Array is needed, and we still divide you into 4 pieces, how about it?"
I leaned against the door, looked at the old ghosts, and nodded.
The living fire phoenix, this time it can really open my eyes.
