Volume 1 The Journey of the Underworld Chapter 7 The Bodhisattva of the Earth
When Ermao woke up again, his head no longer hurt.
He stood up in a daze, and found that the place he was in was no longer the original No. 26 branch hall on the first floor of the underworld, but a place full of volcanoes and magma, and the heat wave was monstrous and boundless.
Not only that, but there were huge beast skeletons scattered everywhere on the ground, those skeletons were not burned in such a hot magma world, and some even looked as crystal clear as white jade, like a perfect work of art.
Ermao couldn't help but walk to a skeleton several meters high that was only a few steps away from him and touched it, and his hand was cold.
"No, my soul is obviously standing on the magma, why hasn't it been burned?"
Ermao just cared about looking at those skeletons, and he didn't even notice that he was standing stupidly on top of the magma.
"Amitabha!"
A loud Buddha horn sounded in this space, the voice just fell, in front of Ermao, a thin old monk suddenly appeared, this old monk held a golden tin staff in one hand, and a blood-red demonic lotus flower in the other.
Two magic weapons with completely different styles were held by him alone at the same time, how awkward it looked!
"Huh, old monk? Oh no, Master! Hello Master! ”
Ermao, who made a slip of the tongue, quickly changed his words, just looking at the elusive appearance of this old monk, Ermao also knew that this old monk was definitely not easy to mess with.
"Amitabha!"
The old monk said another Buddha name, and he didn't say anything else, so he stared at Ermao straightly, and Ermao's heart was furious.
"Master, where is this?"
Ermao hurriedly found a topic to divert the old monk's attention.
"From where you come from, where you go!"
“......”
Ermao was a little blindsided, and he wanted to rush up and give the old monk two punches: Can't you speak human words?
But Ermao didn't dare, he could only resist his impulses and talk to the old monk calmly:
"Master, I didn't graduate from elementary school, I didn't read the scriptures, and I don't understand what the master meant."
"Amitabha! I thought that if I met by fate, I would come to a person with Buddhist roots, but I didn't expect it to be just a mortal with better luck! ”
"Master, I'm just a ghost, I haven't been reincarnated yet!"
Ermao was a little unsure if the old monk's head was normal.
"A ghost now, a human in the future!"
“...... Master, I just want to know where this is, how I can get out of here, I still have a lot to do. ”
"This is the nineteenth level of hell, a hell dedicated to the powerful existence of demons and monsters."
"Damn, why did I come here, I was still in the No. 26 branch hall on the first floor of the underworld?"
Ermao has been completely speechless, since he became a ghost, strange things have happened one after another, since even the nineteenth layer of hell has been encountered by himself.
"Master, did you bring me here?"
"It was your left eye that brought you here, and if it hadn't brought you here, you would have been gone."
The old monk looked at Ermao's left eye, and pointed to the huge beast skeleton that Ermao had just touched.
"That white jade skeleton is the original owner of your left eye: the ancient divine beast, the first generation of hell's gatekeeper dog, and the three-headed dog of hell."
"Ahh
Ermao finally understood why that skeleton was so special, it turned out that it was so powerful when it was alive.
"If it weren't for its skeleton to stabilize your soul for you, how could you have managed to fuse its divine eye? Since it has chosen you and fulfilled you, this is your chance. ”
"Fulfilled me? What do you mean, Master. ”
"The relics of the divine beast are not something that a random mortal can bear, if he does not approve of you, even if you have the ability to reach the heavens, it will not hand over its own inheritance to you."
"Legacy? What do you mean, Master. ”
Ermao found that he didn't understand anything, so he could only keep asking.
"The Divine Eye itself is a heritage, and the most powerful means of the Divine Dog during his lifetime is its left eye. Only those who have been recognized by the Divine Eye can truly get the inheritance in the Divine Eye, and you will know it when you have time to experience it slowly in the future. What kind of ability it is, the old man doesn't know. ”
"I see, thank you, Master. By the way, what do you call a master? ”
"I have long forgotten my real name, and the name of the Buddhist family is Jizang."
"Jizo Bodhisattva?"
Ermao seems to have heard it somewhere, but where he heard it specifically, and he can't remember it for a while.
"Master, how can I get out of here?"
Ermao still wanted to leave here early, everything here was too weird, beyond his expectations.
"You can't leave here yet, although the Divine Eye has chosen you, but your soul power is too weak to even open the Divine Eye, let alone use the divine power in the Divine Eye. You put your hand on its skeleton and think silently about your left eye. ”
If you want to leave, you can't leave, Ermao can only do what the old monk said, and countless transparent flames suddenly appeared on the white jade skeleton, slowly converging towards Ermao's left eye.
Ermao felt that his originally weak body was getting warmer and warmer, especially the left eye, which seemed to be filled with infinite energy, and he felt very comfortable!
In addition to this comfortable feeling, Ermao didn't feel any other danger, so he didn't bother anymore, and simply sat down cross-legged in the skeleton, just letting his left eye absorb those transparent flames.
"This flame should be a very high-level soul power, otherwise it wouldn't have such a big buff effect on my soul."
Time moved forward quietly like this, and I don't know how long it took, the white jade skeleton gradually became dim, and the moment Ermao woke up, the skeleton was scattered into ashes in an instant.
Ermao stood up, feeling that his left eye became extremely clear, he glanced at his body, although he couldn't see much change outside, but he could clearly feel that his soul was actually countless times more condensed than before, and in his own body, he actually gave birth to a complete human skeleton, the color is round, its shape is like jade, and the skeleton adsorbs the large and small meridians with distinct layers, just like the real flesh before death, but the bones, meridians, and flesh are all milky white.
"Amitabha, cause is effect, effect is cause! Now that the donor has received this cause, I hope that the donor will be able to carry this fruit in the future! ”
It's over, the old monk has "transformed" again!
"Master, is my body still a ghost?"
The changes in the body made Ermao a little flustered, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, and after he went out, if he was seen by others, how should he explain and deal with it?
"Don't worry, this is the condensation of the powerful soul power on the skeleton of the divine dog, you are still a ghost body, and only your own divine eyes can see it, other people, even if it is the Ten Hall Yama, no one can find out the special features of your soul."
"It's okay, it's okay! Scared the hell out of me! ”
Ermao looked at the Jizo Bodhisattva in front of him, and also knew that he had this huge opportunity thanks to his help.
At a glance, he knew that it was his territory, and if he didn't want to let himself in, even if he had divine eyes, he couldn't help it, and he also gave himself a lot of guidance.
"Thank you, Master, for your grace!"
Ermao very respectfully bowed to the Jizo Bodhisattva.
Ermao is a person with clear grievances, although he can't understand the depth of Jizo Bodhisattva, but this does not prevent him from being grateful to Jizo Bodhisattva.
"Go, go, just remember, don't do evil, do all good! Amitabha! ”
"Amitabha!"
Ermao imitated the appearance of Jizo Bodhisattva, shouted a Buddha name to him, and then suddenly remembered that he hadn't told himself exactly how to leave.
It's just that when Ermao raised his head again, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he returned to the No. 26 branch hall on the first floor of the underworld.
Ermao hurriedly ran out of the room, and there were already many ghosts working on the construction site at this time.
As soon as Ermao thought about finding a ghost and asking him how long he had been gone, Brother Li, who was in charge, came over.
"Ermao, where are you running around again, you don't come to work for two days, fortunately, the people above didn't come down to check, otherwise you will have trouble again!"
"It's only been two days, huh? It's okay, it's okay! ”
When Ermao heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, two days is not too long, and it is okay for him to mix here, and Brother Li and they will not trouble themselves.
"Thank you Brother Li for carrying it for me, I don't have an urgent matter, I didn't have time to ask you for leave, come, Brother Li, this is filial piety to you."
Ermao hurriedly took out a pack of genuine red plum cigarettes from his waist card and handed it to Brother Li, who was overjoyed when he saw it and immediately took it and put it away.
"It's just a little thing, but I can still do it. Next time you have something, remember to tell me in advance, and it's okay to rest for a few days. ”
Brother Li left happily.
Brother Li actually didn't come to knock on Ermao's bamboo bar, after all, Ermao is usually very good at being a man, and he doesn't take much incense to honor him, and he has a bull's head and a horse face on him, even if Ermao leaves for a few more days, Brother Li will not take the initiative to embarrass Ermao.
But Ermao himself can be a man, and this genuine product Brother Li hasn't seen it for a long time, he really likes it very much, and he didn't be polite to Ermao.
But then again, this is also Ermao's willingness to take his own incense out and share it with everyone, otherwise, no matter how good the sycophants are, there is no real benefit, and no one will take Ermao seriously.
Ermao secretly checked Brother Li and the other ghosts with his newly dressed dog eyes, and found that they were just the same as himself, only simple souls, and there were no other special features in their bodies.
Although Jizo Bodhisattva said that his left eye was the divine eye of the three-headed dog of hell, Ermao still used to call it a dog's eye, which is smooth and low-key.
Not long after Brother Li left, Niu Tou Ma Mian also came to the construction site to find Ermao.
Ermao looked at the bull head and horse face who came from afar, and habitually swept the souls of the two with dog eyes.
"Huh? There are actually small bones and faint meridians? But compared to what I have in my body, it seems to be a lot worse! ”
Ermao found that although the bones and meridians on the bull head and horse face were not very obvious, they were quite complete, which was something that Brother Li did not have.
"It seems that the bull head and horse face are definitely not as simple as ordinary ghosts, and tomorrow I will go around the main hall and take a look at those ghosts one by one. Well, Judge Lu and the judges who took turns on duty in the hall also took a look, they were such big officials, I don't know what the specific situation in the body would look like? ”
