Watching the father-in-law leave, Tang Xuanzang was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

After a long time, he just exhaled slightly, and he couldn't help but think of what Xiao Xiang said to him.

"Could it be that I'm really just a pawn!"

Tang Xuanzang was very helpless.

"Host... Xuanzang is a little tired, so let's go back and rest for the time being!"

That Tang Xuanzang turned his head and said to the host of Jinshan Temple.

As soon as these words came out, the latter nodded.

"Go ahead, recharge your energy, recharge your spirits, the land and water puja is about to begin, and then we are waiting for you to shine..."

"It's... Xuanzang retires!"

Tang Xuanzang smiled and quickly left the place.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, in the blink of an eye, the water and land puja had arrived.

Outside Chang'an Avenue is no longer as bustling and lively as it used to be, and no one knows that the water and land puja is about to begin.

Similarly, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin would also bring hundreds of civil and military officials to attend the opening ceremony of the water and land puja.

From a distance, a piece of river water is leisurely, the wind is clear and thorough, the green mountains on both sides are slightly surrounded, the white clouds are lightly surrounded, the bank of the river is full of people, and there is a big high platform in the middle.

There are 1,200 futons on top of the high sea, and there is also a table above the futon, which is filled with various Buddhist incense.

The flags were raised high and inscribed with esoteric and obscure scriptures.

At this moment, many monks were sitting on it and began to chant scriptures.

And the presiding officer and abbot of the Jinshan Temple have also changed into new robes, wearing some special robes and hats on their heads.

Holding a special magic weapon in his hand, the guards with knives on both sides are one after another.

There were quite a few troops around, guarding against them! The people were blocked out.

Of course, if you look up, you can still see the scene.

Xiao Xiang stood in the crowd and looked up at the front, one of them walked in a dragon and a tiger, looking very elegant, and the one wearing a yellow robe was Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

This famous emperor in history doesn't look like a tyrannical monarch at all, but Xiao Xiang knows that this Li Shimin is not as simple as it seems on the surface, otherwise, how could he make a prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Xiang exhaled slightly, didn't say anything, just looked up carefully.

"The water and land puja is a means arranged by the Buddha when he studied scriptures in the west! In the Journey to the West TV series, it seems to be just a simple cutscene!

But looking at this posture, it shouldn't be as simple as just going through the motions! After this land and water puja, Tang Xuanzang will be able to get other things!"

"I obey the will of heaven, but also for the benefit of the people! Many of my people in Datang are reluctant to leave after they die, all because I Datang has created a prosperous era, so that these people are not allowed to leave even if they die, and I also know that these people are in the name of Datang when they are alive, and they are willing to become ghosts of Datang after they die.

But after all, people and ghosts are separated by yin and yang, and they can't stay together for a long time, otherwise it will not be beneficial to either party, so I hereby order the world to exceed the soul of the dead, this time, after hearing this soul, the sound is to put it into reincarnation, and live a wonderful life in the next life!"

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin stood on the high platform and shouted at the sky.

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, he didn't know who suddenly roared, and then hundreds of civil and military officials, many soldiers with swords and guards, and those monks and ordinary people, all knelt on the ground.

"My Emperor Shengming, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

That Xiao Xiang also knelt on the ground, at this moment Tang Emperor Li Shimin was in front of him, this is the real dragon in the world, where the luck of the world gathers, and there is no magic in front of this emperor.

"Flat!"

"Emperor Xie!"

"I announce that the Land and Water Festival is about to begin!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a chanting in the sky.

At the same time, the 1200 monks who were about to recite the Buddhist scriptures also began to knock on the wooden fish at this time, and kept saying the text of the catastrophe in their mouths.

At the same time, a faint golden light slowly manifested behind them.

Of course, this golden light can only be seen by people who really have spells, and ordinary people naturally can't see it clearly, so is the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

"These 1,200 monks seem to be really cultivating naturally!"

Although Xiao Xiang doesn't know much about Buddhism, he can still see that the 1,200 monks in front of him are indeed extraordinary.

"I don't know, what's going to happen next, let's see for now!"

Xiao Xiang concealed his figure and continued to hide in the crowd, while his eyes looked towards the sky.

There were many immortals in the sky, just watching.

It's just that they just watched, and they didn't dare to bloom their spells casually, after all, the emperor of the world, Li Shimin, was still here.

Although they are immortals, in terms of identity and status, they are actually a little worse than Li Shimin.

Of course, even after seeing Tang Emperor Li Shimin's manifest figure, he naturally didn't need to bow down.

Countless golden lights in the air formed a vortex at this moment.

The entire Tang Dynasty seems to be spread by the voices of these 1,200 monks, ordinary people can't hear it, but those demons and monsters can indeed hear it very clearly, and the souls of the dead slowly drifted with this voice at this moment.

"I didn't expect to have a soul return so soon! It seems that these 1,200 monks are really not to be underestimated! Among them, at least there are Jinba, as long as they cultivate to the realm of consummation of merit, at least they can go to the West Heaven to be an Arhat!"

One of the people in the crowd touched his beard and couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Xiang looked up, but he didn't find anything, and he didn't need to guess to know that this was definitely another incarnation of an immortal.

"It's interesting! What bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are coming this way!"

......

In Hell!

The King of the Earth suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, and the heavenly eye above his brow began to bloom at this moment.

Exhaled slightly for a long time.

"It seems that the Buddha's plan has really begun! I don't know if you can succeed this time! In the past, when you and I were discussing the Tao, I had a very happy conversation with you, and when you were reincarnated nine times, you were able to complete your merits every time, which really made me envious!

If you can still complete the merit this time, I am afraid that it will be a merit, and there are few bodhisattvas, arhats and Buddhas other than the Buddha can compare!"

As he spoke, the Jizo King couldn't help but touch the truth under his buttocks.

"Master, if you don't swear to become a Buddha in hell, I'm afraid it's impossible for you to become a Buddha in this life!"

"Think too much! Who can say for sure! If one day the Heavenly Dao happens and suppresses the hell! Those souls in the 18 layers of hell can repent and be reincarnated! Maybe I can become a Buddha!

If I become a Buddha, then I will be worse than the Buddha at all!"

King Jizo said, touching the hall under his ass again.

Otherwise, I will be able to become a Buddha, and you will be able to attain the Great Path with your merits, and you may be able to become a saint with me when the time comes. ”

"Staying in hell with you is not a kind of practice!

After saying that, the latter chuckled and didn't say much.

"That's right! Merit, merit! Speaking of which, it's not all about cultivating merit! Go out with me again! I'm afraid there will be a lot of souls coming!"

Hearing this, he got up randomly, carried the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and soon disappeared under the 18th layer of hell.

At the same time, the king of Hades in the hell led the black and white impermanence and the eighteen judges and the four halls of Yama, and appeared.

He had already received instructions from the Jade Emperor to cooperate with the work of the King of Jizo, and he knew that the Jade Emperor seemed to be playing a game of chess between him and the Buddha.

"Hades... This side, I'm bothering again!"

"Jizo King Bodhisattva is polite, this is also my duty!"

King Jizo smiled and didn't say much, just exhaled slightly.

Looking up at the sky above hell, I didn't know what was going on in my heart for a while.

"Okay, don't mention this! The Jade Emperor and the Buddha have joined forces, then we must do our best! Open the gates of hell!

"Yes!"

Hades nodded, and then gave an order to the 18 judges of the four halls around him, and soon many ghosts and gods in hell stood here according to their positions, and they kept answering in their hands, roaring in their mouths, and soon, a huge whirlpool appeared in the air.

The moment the whirlpool appeared, a soul fell from the whirlpool, and a bull-headed horse face next to the black and white impermanence, without saying a word, was the chain in his hand, and threw it forward, arresting the soul.

"Arrest him first! As for the rest of the matter, it will be decided later!"

Hades commanded alone, and many ghosts and gods nodded their heads.

As for the king of Jizo on the other side, he was chanting Buddhist scriptures in his hands at this moment.

The soul of the past, the hatred of the past, the thousand years of the past, all retreated, entered this prison and entered this door, six wisdoms...

Hearing this, Hades didn't say anything, but involuntarily looked up.

"The Jizo King Bodhisattva is indeed extremely strong, such a strength, even I am a lot worse!"

No one knows that the Hades of hell is also a saint!

Of course, this saint of his was actually barely sanctified because he controlled the territory!

As for Sun Wukong's troubles in the underworld, if someone didn't take care of it, how could the king of Hades easily let him go?

This hell is not something that anyone can come and go as soon as they want.

You must know that there are three realms of heaven, earth and man! Each realm has the power of a realm.

Although he is not as good as the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, and he is also not as good as the Hou Tu Niangniang, he is the king of Hades after all.

Eighteen judges, four palace Yamas, black and white impermanence bull head and horse face, which one is not a powerful character.

When Sun Wukong entered hell, he was a shadow, and the scheme began at that time.

It's just that he didn't have the right to know at the time.

Now that Sun Wukong has been arrested a long time ago, Hades will be clear when he thinks about it.

"No! Strange, something is wrong, the Jizo King Bodhisattva used his body to suppress the opening of the gate of hell, this side effect can be a lot of souls have come out, it stands to reason, even if this soul has not been completely reincarnated, but the Jizo King has gathered a lot of soul power to do this! At least he should have gathered a lot of merit, but why haven't I seen it at all until now!"

The Hades of Hell suddenly widened his eyes, full of incredulity.

"Don't look at me, I'm just making a wedding dress for someone else this time! The upcoming game between the Jade Emperor and the Buddha is just a chess piece in his hands, but doing this is naturally for the sake of the beings of the Three Realms!"

"But didn't you waste a lot of merit? This time forcibly suppressing the gate of hell and letting the gate of the earth realm open in the human realm, I am afraid that it will consume a lot of your rule power, and when you return to the eighteenth layer of hell, I am afraid, you will bear the power of this hell, but it is not weak..."

"I haven't endured the suffering of hell for a year or two! Sitting in hell, enduring the fruits of suffering, and cultivating to become a Buddha is exactly the path I want to take! Pain is pain!"

King Jizo smiled.

The eighteen layers of hell are built under a sea of suffering.

What is the sea of suffering, a special place formed by the accumulation of countless regrets, countless evil thoughts, and countless resentments in the world.

It can be said that it is the place where the negative impact of the three worlds of heaven, earth and man is the most extensive.

But the power contained in such a large place is not small.

At that time, Hou Tu Niang Niang turned into reincarnation, and she also pressed the reincarnation channel on it.

First there is reincarnation, then there is hell.

Then there is Hell with many judges, and 18 levels of purgatory.

If you want to stabilize hell, you must suppress the sea of suffering.

When the souls in this hell can be reincarnated one after another, and the hell has no original meaning, then the king of Jizo can become a Buddha.

But the soul in hell will never be reincarnated.

Because there will always be people in the world who die, and there will always be people who will suffer the pain of life and death.

The reason why the king of Jizo made a grand oath at the beginning was that hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha!

The main thing is to hope that people in the world will no longer suffer from life and death.

But how is this possible?

Now, the power of King Jizo's non-stop cultivation rules, although he has already reached the peak, but there is no way to achieve the position of a saint.

There is still no way to truly achieve the status of surpassing the beings of the Three Realms.

Of course, even so, no one dares to underestimate it.

"I feel it! It's an evil spirit! I didn't expect it to be here, and it's an evil soul that absorbs luck! You hold it back!"
