Chapter 9: King Jizo Bodhisattva

But the matter was far from what King Yama and Judge Cui thought, and it ended here. Soon after, the bull head and horse face, black and white impermanence brought a terrifying news, which made the two bigwigs of the underworld stunned. After a few days of research, in the end, Lord Yama and Judge Cui really couldn't think of any way. If you continue to hide it, give them a few more guts, and they won't dare!

In desperation, the two bigwigs can only go to the real behind-the-scenes ruler of the underworld, that is, the legendary Jizo King Bodhisattva.

According to the "Ten Rounds of the Jizo Sutra", because this Bodhisattva is "patient and immobile like the earth, and meditation is deep and dense like a secret treasure", it is called Jizo. Jizo Bodhisattva is known because he once said the firm Buddha saying, "If hell is not empty, you will not become a Buddha!" and "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!".

In the deepest part of the Hell Yama Temple, there is such a mysterious place. This is a place that even the supreme ruler of the underworld, Lord Yama, cannot easily set foot in. And today, the helpless King of Yama has no choice but to bring Judge Cui here, to meet the people who live here, and to ask for his help.

It was a simple cottage with nothing but a few necessary household items. The furnishings in the cottage are simple but clean. On top of a futon, shrouded in the mist of incense lit by a pillar of sandalwood, sat cross-legged a thin old monk with his eyes closed, wearing a Pilu crown and a robe.

"I knew you were coming!" Even though he had sensed the arrival of the two, the Jizo King still didn't open his eyes. The reason why he is like this is because he once said that he really does not want to open his eyes to the ugly things in this world if it is not necessary.

"My lord, it's us here!" and what was even more strange was that King Yama and Judge Cui did not look panicked at all. Because they understand that although the King of the Earth has been meditating here, nothing in the earth can hide from his old man.

"Lord Jizo, Iโ€”" Judge Cui lowered his head and didn't say any more, he understood that nothing that happened in the underworld could be hidden from the Lord in front of him. Indeed, it is necessary for Xiao Chen to rush to another dangerous strange world to meet the unknown fate for the mistakes of the bull head and horse face. Doing so is indeed unfair to Xiao Chen.

But Judge Cui never regretted doing this. Because he clearly knew that if he didn't do this, not only would the bull head and horse face be subjected to the punishment of five thunderbolts and his soul would be scattered, but if the people of the Heavenly Realm forcibly intervened, he was afraid that many people from the underworld, including the Lord of Yama, would also be implicated. And in this way, it is bound to cause unrest in the underworld, and the price is too great. Therefore, the wisest thing to do is to say sorry to Xiao Chen.

"Bodhisattva, I know what is happening around that young man named Xiao Chen these days, and I can't hide it from you at all, and the ** you sent the ghost to send to me is enough to prove all this. The subordinates originally thought that this matter had finally been resolved with Xiao Chen's departure, but until now, we found that the matter was far from over. Lord Jizo King, we want to know, why is the ** body you sent by the ghost sent by Xiao Chen exactly the same?Also, why can't we find the person named Xiao Cheng in the world?" Although Lord Jizo has basically ignored the affairs of the underworld, Lord Yama has become the supreme ruler of the underworld. But almost everyone in the underworld knows and knows that the huge underworld can stand for thousands of years without falling, and everything is thanks to the Jizo King in front of him, the omniscient Jizo King, and the omnipotent Jizo King.

To put it more directly, the King of Jizo is a Dinghai Stone in the huge underworld.

"Alright, Judge Cui, King Yama, don't blame yourself too much, I don't mean to blame you at all. Your first question, my answer is, that's because that ** originally belonged to Xiao Chen, and I just returned to him what belonged to him. As for the reason for this, I beg your pardon for having no comment!" King Jizo simply dismissed the first question.

"What?" King Yama and Judge Cui were shocked. It seems that things have gotten more complicated.

"As for your second question, I won't answer it yet!" "The tone of the Jizo King Bodhisattva was still so gentle, "First of all, I want to ask you, why did the bull-headed horse face hook that soul named Xiao Chen to the underworld?"

"That's because these two guys are so greedy for the contents of the cup that they get drunk and mislead Xiao Chen's soul!" "Thinking of this, King Yama gritted his teeth with hatred, these two bastards, look at what you have done?

"My lord, I have already punished them for this, and I can assure you that they will never do it again. Judge Cui said hurriedly.

"Is it true?" Lord Jizo didn't answer directly, just smiled faintly.

"What do you meanโ€”" King Yama, Judge Cui glanced at each other. They both noticed the confusion in each other's eyes.

"When it comes to the way of heaven, I can't say it too clearly. But I just want to tell you, this time the bull head and horse face hooked the wrong soul, and even the person named Xiao Cheng can't be found in the world, everything has a fate, all of this has a fixed number in the underworld, you can't blame the bull head and the horse face!"

"And the young man named Xiao Chen who was sent to another world by you and the young man named Xiao Cheng who is still in the world but is missing. These two are not ordinary people, and there is a great relationship between the two of them!"

"My lord, what should we do next?" King Yama and Judge Cui are all very smart people, and when a smart subordinate faces a question that the leader doesn't want to say, the wisest thing to do is to suppress his curiosity.

"Matters concerning the way of heaven are not something you can change. All you can do now is sit on the high platform and watch what happens. King Jizo sighed, "Alright, that's the end of this matter." Whether it's Xiao Chen or Xiao Cheng, forget it!"

"Yes!" King Yama and Judge Choi didn't know why King Jizo said that. However, out of great respect and trust for the Jizo King, they decided to follow his orders.

"By the way, I would like to correct one of your opinions. The reason why the people of our underworld did not send powerful people to that world and forcibly brought back those seven souls was not entirely because we were afraid of losing our merits, but because we didn't want to conflict with the people of the heavenly realm. Jizo King Bodhisattva said suddenly.

"My lord, can you explain it more clearly?" Although King Yama and Judge Cui knew that this matter had been implicated in the high heavenly realm, they also knew very little about the details.

"Two, you all know that since the Pangu Emperor opened the world, Nuwa Niangniang's clay has been subjected. There was the birth of the three worlds of heaven, earth and man. Although these three realms are independent of each other, everyone understands that the status of the heavenly realm is far above the earthly realm and the human realm. To put it mildly, I'm afraid that the rest of the two realms will have to look up to the snort of the heavenly realm!"

"My lord, of course we know this, but what is the connection between the two?" King Yama and Judge Cui were even more confused. Although the people of the heavenly realm are arrogant, they must be investigated. But their biggest drawback is that they are too good-looking. In order to show their perfect side in front of outsiders, they have always claimed that they will do their best to maintain the peace and stability of the world, and will never allow any evil to run rampant and spread.

Why did such a person in the Heavenly Realm watch those seven souls wantonly mess around in that world, and even oppose the underworld sending strong men to capture those seven thousand years of souls?

"That's because, that world, once the world where the people of the heavenly realm spread faith, where they spent a lot of effort. Sadly, they failed. So they left that world with intense regret. In the eyes of the Celestials, that world was a dirty and ugly place, a place destined to be rejected by disgust. In order to express their strong indignation, the people of the heavenly realm called that place the God's Forsaken Continent. Jizo King Bodhisattva said slowly.

"God forsaken the continent?"

"Yes, God forsaken the continent. A world of war and strife. Although it is a place that the people of the heavenly realm hate and abandon, but after all, it is also a place where the people of the heavenly realm have set foot in, and with the arrogance of the people of the heavenly realm, even if they don't want something, they will not let the people of the underworld touch it. You understand, don't you?"

"Got it!"

And when the king of Yama and Judge Cui met with the king of Jizo, the sun was shining in the yang world, and the wind was beautiful. In a particularly charming place surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is a huge cemetery decorated with green pines. In the dense white tombstones with no end in sight, there was a group of people crying heartbreakingly.

Today is the day of Xiao Chen's burial. And these people were all Xiao Chen's friends before his death. Xiao Chen, rest in peace, may you be happy in that world.

None of the heartbroken people noticed that not far away, under the green pines, there was a man in a trench coat and hood, who had wrapped himself tightly and looked at it coldly. "Hmph, just because those idiots in the underworld, do you want to catch me Xiao Cheng? It's just a simple transposition that fools the two idiots of Niu Tou and Ma Mian. But Xiao Chen, you should feel extremely honored to be looked down upon by me!" A creepy laugh rang out.
