Although what Chu Yiran said was plain, she was also sad when she listened to it. In Shuicheng, their family is also a rich and noble family, and the family has suddenly declined, and the sons and young ladies who come from brocade clothes and jade food and food have been reduced to a difficult life, and the embarrassment of life can be imagined.

The three of them were relatively silent for a while, and the sky gradually became gloomy, and it seemed that it was about to be night.

"Brother Piaoran, when everyone is worried about their livelihood, Taishou came to send money. Chu Yiran smiled again. "Your physical body is soaring, and Taishou heard that there is an old mother in your family, so he came to visit, took out his own money, and gave it to the eldest mother. I also heard about our family's affairs, and ordered everyone not to be sad, and to let each family work hard to go to the Huishui River to repair the bridge and earn money to live. Otherwise, there are hundreds of people in the family, all of whom are poor and helpless, how can they get by?"

"Our brother and sister, who are more than ten years old, also went to repair the Feixian Bridge, and the two of us set a laborer. Chu said coldly. "Our family has dismissed the family members and slaves, and there are more than 200 people left. There are many side branches who can't bear this difficult life, or they go away to make a living, or they go to relatives and friends, and they are more than halfway away. There is only one faction left of the descendants of our Gaozu brothers, and there are also more than 100 people. ”

"Brother Piaoran, our family has been helping to repair the bridge one after another, for four years, and then it was bittersweet and sweet, and life has completely changed. Chu Yiran smiled again, her beautiful face looked extremely delicate.

"What happened?" asked Piaoranzi.

"Later, a bald monk wearing a robe and carrying a tin staff came to Shuicheng to see us build the bridge and asked why. I heard that it was the Feixian Bridge that you scattered to fund the repair, so I found the eldest mother's house. In those four years, your mother, our eldest mother, missed you, and her eyes were dizzy, and she usually mended the clothes of her people. On that day, the monk saw the eldest lady, and then found the patriarch Chu Deshan, gathered all the clansmen, about eighty or ninety people, to give us a lecture on the scriptures. Chu Yiran said.

"What did he say?"

"This monk said, if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. When one person becomes a Buddha, the whole family is bareheaded. Your family has produced a holy Buddha, but you are in a predicament because of this, and he can't stand it. ”

"If you can't stand it, what can you do?" asked Piaoranzi.

"This monk said: Huishui River Bridge, with the credit of your Chu family, my monk replaced the Buddha to give birth to you and let you leave the sea of suffering. ”

"Ah, isn't this monk going to the West Heaven as well?" asked Piao Ranzi.

"Didn't go to the West Heaven. Chu Yiran said. "That monk, when we arrived here in the Yin Mountain of the Netherworld, we learned that he was the Netherworld Sect Master, the King of the Earth. Jizo Bodhisattva, at that time, spread the robe on the ground, and gradually it grew larger, so that we all stood on it. When we saw that this monk had such a mana, it must have been driven by the gods, and they all stood on the robe, and with a wave of the monk's hand, we floated into the air, went up into the clouds, and flew to this drunken capital. ”

"Oh, that's great, I didn't expect you to become immortals and Buddhas. When Piao Ranzi heard this, he felt a little comforted in his heart.

"How can we become a Buddha without such a great credit as you?" Chu said coldly.

"Brother, stop resenting Brother Piaoran. Chu Yiran said. "We have not become immortal Buddhas. The Bodhisattva King of the Earth, who sent us to the Yin Mountain, lived there, and lived for a thousand years."

"So, you always live here?" said Piaoranzi, "In that case, you can take me to my mother." After Piao Ranzi finished speaking, he was about to go out.

"Brother Piaoran, you won't see your mother anymore. Chu Yiran said busily.

"What? Didn't you say that you have lived here for a thousand years, and since your family is here, can't I go to see them?"

"One is no, and the other is that you won't be able to see the elders anymore. Chu Yiran said.

"Why is that?"

"On the top of this Yin Mountain, there is the annex of Cuiyun Palace, and the Dizang Bodhisattva specially placed our family. Chu Yiran said. "Since we came to Yin Mountain, the Jizo Bodhisattva is halfway up the Yin Mountain, full of poisonous snakes and beasts, and no ghosts are allowed to go up the mountain. Therefore, we have lived here for thousands of years, and the ghost towns around the mountain, and even the various palaces in the underworld, do not know that our Chu family lives on the top of the mountain. ”

"I am also a descendant of the Chu family, and I am the grandson of the head of the Chu family, why not go to the Cuiyun Palace on the top of the mountain?"

"Jizo Bodhisattva has a will, no matter who the ghost is, go to the courtyard of the Cuiyun Palace on the top of the mountain, you must notify him. On all sides of Yin Mountain, there are lookouts, and there are countless fierce beasts, and it is more difficult for ghosts to go up than to ascend to the sky; Chu Yiran said. "So, we can't let you go up the mountain. ”

"Sister Yiran, when I go up the mountain, do I want you to inform the Jizo King Bodhisattva?"

"To be notified. But, Brother Piaoran, you really don't want to go. Chu Yiran said: "Sixty years ago, from our great-grandfather's generation, they went down the mountain one after another. ”

"Where did you go down the mountain?"

"We don't know," Chu Yiran said: "Forty years ago, my grandfather's generation also went down the mountain one after another, and twenty years ago, our father's generation also went down the mountain. ”

"And what about my mother?" asked Piaoranzi.

"Of course it's gone. Moreover, it was the first to go. Every time the elders of our family go down the mountain, it is the King Bodhisattva of Jizo who sends the boy in jade clothes to lead, as if it has been specially arranged. ”

"Didn't you go to reincarnate and reincarnate?" Piao Ranzi heard that her mother left twenty years ago, and if she was reincarnated, she would never see each other again.

"Quite possibly. Chu Yiran nodded fiercely. "Now on the top of the mountain, there are only twenty-four brothers and sisters of our generation. ”

These twenty-four people are all Chu Piaoran's cousins and cousins, he is the eldest grandson of the family, when he left Shuicheng, he was eighteen years old, and his cousins and cousins were still young, some were only a few years old, I don't know what they have grown into now.

"Big brother, there is something I have been stuffing in my heart, sixty years, since I see you today, I will tell you, and you will also analyze it. Chu Lengran, who had been silent for a long time, actually spoke.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Chu Yiran asked first.

"Our family, from the great-grandfather's generation, was taken down the mountain by the jade-clothed boy one after another, and never returned, and asked the jade-clothed boy why, he only said that the heavenly secret should not be revealed. Chu said coldly. "However, as far as I can see, he was ordered by the Jizo Bodhisattva to send our family to the mortal dust one by one. ”

"This ······ That's your guess, isn't it?" said Piaoranzi.

"That's my speculation. Chu Lengran stood on the branch, looked around, and said: "Sixty years ago, Jizo Bodhisattva came with an old Taoist, who was on a nine-curved jasper cane, saw us on the top of Yin Mountain, and then went for a walk on the mountain rock. At that time, I looked at the Jizo Bodhisattva, and I was extremely respectful of this old way, as if I had seen the Buddha, I was curious, and secretly followed him. ”

"Don't you know what Lao Dao's name is?"

"I don't know. Chu Yiran said.

"I don't know, Jizo Bodhisattva didn't introduce us to it. Chu said coldly. "I listened to their words, saying that if they are united for a long time, they will be divided, and that they will be chaotic for a long time, and that the great tribulation of three thousand years is coming. ”

"What are they talking about the 3,000-year-old tribulation?" said Piaoranzi. "After I died in the Tibetan Scripture Temple, I heard about it many times. ”

"The old Taoist asked the Bodhisattva Jizo, what preparations does Buddhism have? Dizang Bodhisattva Dao: In the courtyard of Cuiyun Palace on the top of the mountain, there is the Chu clan of Shuicheng, all of whom are Jishan families, and they have very wise roots, so they can go to the Fengshentai to be born. The old Tao said again and again, and said: Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find, and there is no one who has a commander. Jizo Bodhisattva Dao: Three thousand years of catastrophe, within thirty or fifty years, may not happen, it is not too late to find slowly. Since that meeting between monks and Taoists, Jizo Bodhisattva has transferred our family away one after another. Two years ago, Uncle Dehai was summoned away by the boy in jade clothes, and I asked the boy when he would call us away? The boy in jade clothes said: It's early, I haven't seen your eldest brother in the long house, you wait. I asked who the eldest brother of Changfang was, and the boy in jade clothes said that I was pretending to be confused, and it was Chu Piaoran. ”

"Could it be that Jizo Bodhisattva also knows my name?"

"I think that Jizo Bodhisattva has a plan to send us to the Fengshen Terrace. Chu said coldly.

"So what do we do?" said Piaoranzi. Chu Lengran and Chu Yiran shook their heads.

"Brother, why didn't you say it earlier?" Chu Yiran complained about Chu Lengran.

"What's the use of saying it earlier? Three thousand years of catastrophe, the catastrophe is inescapable, under the nest, how can there be eggs?" Chu said coldly. "Brother Piaoran, I think you don't go to the Cuiyun Palace Courtyard first. When we meet, don't let the Jizo Bodhisattva know, you go to the earthly world to hide first, and see how the Jizo Bodhisattva sends us down. ”

"I want to go to Fengshentai to find my mother, what's the matter?"

"You can too. This Jizo Bodhisattva, who brought our whole race here, really don't know what his intentions are. Chu Yiran said.

When the three brothers and sisters said this, they each thought about their confidants and were relatively speechless...... V
