Chapter 40: Tempering Evil Spirits

The Puxian Bodhisattva was generous, nodded and agreed: "Yes, it is the deity, is it possible that there is still a fake?"

As he spoke, he pointed his hand, and the fierce spirits that restrained the monkey seemed to have been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and they all bypassed the monkey's hands and feet, and fled backwards in a panic.

At this time, the old pig also got up from the ground, rubbed his injured nose vigorously, and hummed and chirped: "Master, this is no wonder I old pig, when I flew to the halfway road, I met the Bodhisattva Fuxian to pick me up, I heard the Bodhisattva say that this is the old fox Manjushri to arrange, said that the Bodhisattva's Buddha is very good, please come to the evil spirit between the pagoda, that is more than enough." ”

"God is pitiful, my old pig entered this pagoda but took on the danger of life, just because the Bodhisattva was worried that I would be bewitched by the black light, covered my eyes with a sleeve robe, and then used the power of the Dharma King to crash straight into the top of the tower from the nine clouds, and smashed the railing of this support to the ground, but the impact force was too great, stirring up my old pig sore all over, just like falling apart, it was very uncomfortable, so he rolled on the ground, lost the face of the Sanzang Army, and hoped that the master would forgive his sins. ”

As soon as the words came out, Fuxian Bodhisattva shrugged his shoulders speechlessly, and said slightly apologetically: "Yes, this is the fastest way to enter the top of the tower, but this Bodhisattva is too anxious and ignores your ability to bear, I'm really sorry." ”

Seeing this, the old monk guarding the black resentment relics was full of sadness, his face was hideous, and he seemed to cry and smiled: "Temper us, it turns out that the Bodhisattva came this time not to comfort our wronged Buddhas, but to use great magic power to save us, which is really cold and chilling." ”

Hearing him say pathetic, Fuxian Bodhisattva was slightly stunned, waved his hand and said: "This is the eight precepts to say, but this Bodhisattva does not agree, I was in the Dojo of Mount Emei leisurely drinking tea, met Manjushri, this narrow guy came to visit me, although I know that most of him has bad intentions, but there are people from the same sect to meet me, this Bodhisattva is still very happy. After talking about it in a few words, Manjushri actually took out the chessboard and said that he wanted to gamble with me, I expected that he must have something important to ask me, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he found such a reason, but although he was also a master, he was still slightly inferior to me in chess, so he agreed. ”

"I don't want this time but this Bodhisattva is too careless, in the case of letting him have a son, he took up several more eyes, defeated, at this time, Manjushri explained his intention, to me on this western road to meet the eight precepts that came to find him, for him to solve an old matter, so I followed the eight precepts on the way, inexplicably followed him to the top of this pagoda, since I saw this black bead filled with resentment, I woke up, these two hundred years also you have suffered humiliation, suffered so much, in fact, my Buddha knows the reason, so he connived at the murder of Er and others, and created boundless killing without stopping, is really suspected of protecting the calf, ashamed of the infinite creatures who died tragically under the tower. ”

The old monk didn't say anything, but the thirty-six disciples behind him couldn't help but look angry, and looked up to the sky and roared: "It turns out that your Buddha's disciples know everything about this, so why, why did no one come to stand up for my disciples, let me wait for the souls of the dead to suffer the grievances and shame of these two hundred years, killing hardships, and it is difficult to exalt, it is your Buddha's disciples who are responsible for my Buddhism, and the people in the world." ”

When Fuxian heard this, his face was full of self-blame, and he said with a gloomy expression: "Yes, it is indeed the Buddha who has been aggrieved by the Famen Temple under my Buddha's door, and I have the responsibility of the common people in the world, and all the guilt is borne by my Fuxian." ”

As soon as the words came out, the relics of resentment, which had originally recovered to be bleak, suddenly flourished, and the anger on the faces of the thirty-six evil spirits became even worse, and they roared: "Two hundred years of grievances and shame, hundreds of innocent beings in the temple, all of them are gone, but you have to bear it alone, how can you bear it?"

In the face of such an indignant question, a trace of determination flashed in the eyes of Fuxian Bodhisattva, and he stepped forward and said with great righteousness: "The Buddha said that I will not go to hell, whoever goes to hell, let my body be used to resolve your full resentment." ”

These words were like a thunderclap in the flat ground, which shocked all the evil spirits to look at each other, at a loss, and then opened their teeth and claws, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful, we are waiting here to kill and eat meat, one by one, the smell is unpleasant, just to vent the resentment in the chest, so reluctant, today you Bodhisattva is willing to give up your life, then we will be disrespectful, but I don't know what the taste of tender meat is for you, the Venerable who serves the right side of the Buddha?"

As soon as the words came out, they all showed hideous faces and voices like ghosts, and they rushed towards Fuxian, who was standing majestically on the ground, opening their fangs and purring in their mouths, constantly gnawing on the flesh and skin on his body.

The old monk couldn't stop it, and stumbled to the ground with a heavy face: "Evil obstacles, evil obstacles, that is a noble Bodhisattva with a noble status and a heart for the world, how can you allow such blasphemy, isn't it only to increase our sins, stop quickly, stop quickly, you are not afraid of suffering from heaven's curse, and there will be no return?"

However, at this moment, the body of the Bodhisattva has already been bleeding, under the temptation of the luscious blood, the evil spirits are crazy for it, even more crazy to tear and bite, even ignore the advice of the old monk, only a moment of work, he gnawed off more than half of the flesh and blood on his body, Sen Sen's white bones were exposed, I think it hurt to the depths of the soul, the cold sweat on the forehead of the Bodhisattva, but still clenched his teeth, did not moan the first half of the sentence, the mouth still kept chanting words, as if reciting some scriptures: "Good man! In the sea of robbery, I remember that I have never disobeyed Buddhism in one thought, and I have been angry and harmful in one thought, and I have been discriminating between myself and others, and I have been far away from bodhichitta and have become tired, lazy, obstructive, and confused in life and death. Only the supreme nirvana gathers all wisdom, the dharma that helps the path, and the great bodhichitta. ”

"Good man, I solemnize the land of the Buddha, save sentient beings with great compassion, educate and achieve (sentient beings), make offerings to the Buddhas, do good knowledge, seek the Dharma, propagate and support, and give up everything inside and outside. All the Dharma I seek is to save all sentient beings. With one mind, I hope that all sentient beings will hear the Dharma. May the light of wisdom shine on the world, may the wisdom of the world be revealed, may all sentient beings be happy, and may all the merits of all Buddhas be praised. ”

"We create the ten evils from our body, mouth, and mind, and from the ten evils we incur the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation. For example, if this negative karma has a physical appearance, it will be empty and cannot be tolerated. If we have karma, we should seek repentance as soon as possible. The confessor confesses his past sins. Those who repent regret their mistakes. The best confession is better than chanting Buddha. Jingyun: A recitation of the Buddha can extinguish eight billion eons of life and death. Youyun: 'Pull out the root of all karma and give birth to the Pure Land Dharani.' If a person can recite the Buddha's mantras, his karma will be removed. And recite the Dharma, no matter whether the root is dull or the karma is light or heavy, but if you are willing to believe in the name, you will be reborn in the Elysian World. ”

After reciting it only once, the skin and flesh of the Bodhisattva were gnawed clean by those evil spirits, and the skeleton remained, and the five internal organs and intestines in the body were faintly visible, and the appearance was very strange and terrifying.

Seeing this, Bajie was dancing with a nail rake, and was about to step forward to fight, but the monkey stretched out his hand to block his way, and said with a solemn face: "It's okay, it's okay, one of the four Bodhisattvas under the dignified Buddha's door, it is impossible to be killed by the evil spirits of this area, maybe the Bodhisattvas are tempering them at the moment, it's just an illusion." ”

Bajie snorted very dissatisfied, and said suspiciously: "Ya, even the skin and flesh have been gnawed clean at this time, and the five organs of the skeleton have been exposed, can it still be an illusion?"

Sanzang waved his hand, exhaled leisurely and said: "I don't believe in the ability of the Bodhisattvas under the Buddha's sect to this point, let's wait and see what happens, and then look at it for a while." ”

At this moment, a milky white liquid flowed out from the terrifying skeleton of the Bodhisattva, with bursts of luscious milky fragrance, which made people smell and arouse the cravings in their stomachs. Seeing this, the dozens of evil spirits were ecstatic, and one by one they leaned down and grabbed food one after another.

Bajie licked his lips vigorously, full of regret: "Alas, it seems that it is really an illusion, if it weren't for that, seeing that they are so satisfied, my old pig really wants to come forward and share his piece of the pie." ”

However, the liquid that flowed out seemed to be extremely small, and the evil spirits only fought for a moment before they were exhausted, and one by one they were not satisfied, and they roared endlessly. Then a stream of cyan liquid flowed from the depths of the skeleton, and the flow seemed to be more than before, and the evil spirits were overjoyed when they saw it, and they leaned over to suck it in unison, but after a few sips, they raised their heads and grinned: "Sour and sour, why is it so sour, it's just too much, too much, but the taste is still acceptable, and it can be tolerated." ”

In a moment, they sucked up the cyan liquid again, and when they looked up and waited, there seemed to be a vision in the air, and phantoms appeared, and several of the evil spirits couldn't help but look up to the sky and shed tears, crying for a long time, and the anger on their faces disappeared, they stepped back a few steps, put their palms together, and respectfully worshiped the skeleton of the Bodhisattva Senran, and at the same time, the original dazzling black beads behind them were quietly dimmed a little.

Almost at the same time that the cyan liquid was sucked up, a stream of red and dirty liquid flowed out of the skeleton, and the flow was the same as that of the cyan liquid, and the evil spirits leaned over to suck again, but they only hurriedly took a few sips, then straightened up again, looked at each other with doubts, and said: "Ah, what kind of smell is this, is it spicy, no, no, no, it is salty, it is also spicy and salty, the taste is thick, and it is not as good as before." Several of the evil spirits looked up at the illusion in the air again, sighed heavily, folded their palms, and retreated behind them.
