When Guanyin Bodhisattva left, Xue Tianqing was already in a quiet courtyard.

There are not only flowers and grasses, melons and fruits in the courtyard, but also rockery ponds, which are like paradises.

The fly in the ointment is that outside the courtyard wall is a black mountain stone, although there are some green accents, but it still makes people feel oppressive.

Looking up, the top of the head is the same, three feet up, is the imposing five-finger mountain.

Fortunately, there are several night pearls embedded in the mountain at the top, which illuminates the courtyard brightly, which makes the feeling of depression fade a lot.

Xue Tianqing looked around, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart: Did the cave where the white fox spirit is located also have such an experience?

When he was young, he took out a Nuwa stone from his arms and looked at it carefully.

What the hell is this, even the Taishang Laojun and Guanyin Bodhisattva, who are close at hand, can't find out.

Especially when the Bodhisattva was standing on the opposite side just now, the power of the Nuwa Stone was obviously stronger than usual, as if she was ready to fight back at any time.

After a long time, Xue Tianqing felt a little sleepy, and went back to his room to lie down and prepare to rest for a while.

But not long after closing his eyes, the figure of Wei An appeared in front of him again.

The man walked up to Xue Tianqing and whispered again, but what he could say was still vague.

From this day on, Xue Tianqing could dream of men every day.

In the dream, not only did the person's appearance become clearer and clearer, but his voice was gradually recognized.

Finally one day, Xue Tianqing heard that what the other party was talking about was the mental method of refining Nuwa Stone.

Looking at the man whose figure flickered a little, Xue Tianqing knew that he was actually extremely far away from him, and he had come to the dream with great mana.

"Senior, may I ask for your name."

The man's voice seemed to come from ancient times: "When the time comes, you and I will meet." ”

Seeing that the man's figure was becoming more and more blurred, Xue Tianqing hurriedly said, "Senior, what is Nuwa Stone?" ”

The man replied, "The origin of man! It can help you understand the way of heaven and man. Remember that since ancient times, people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and don't forget your original intention because of temporary fame and fortune. ”

After the man finished speaking, he turned into nothingness and disappeared.

Xue Tianqing opened his eyes and sighed, he understood that the man would never appear in his dream again, and he didn't know when he would be able to meet him.

After a long time, Xue Tianqing took out a Nuwa stone from his bosom and held it in his palm, silently recited the mantra in his heart, and injected mana into it, only to see bursts of colorful light from the Nuwa stone penetrating his eyebrows.

……

Twenty years later, one night, at the pass of the Two Realms Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared out of thin air.

I saw the sleeves of her robe trembling slightly, and two fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys appeared in front of her.

"It's a long way to go, so be careful."

The boy knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, rest assured, we will find someone to learn the scriptures and carry forward the Buddhism." ”

The Bodhisattva nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Looking at the back of the boy gradually moving away, the Bodhisattva sighed lightly, and then drove the cloud back to Putuo Immortal Mountain.

It is said that the Tang Dynasty has been more than 300 years since Taizu founded the country.

The Tang kings of the past dynasties were diligent and carefully governed the country, making the world peaceful and the Haiyan River clear.

Now sitting in charge of the dynasty is Li Zhi, the eighth emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who has been on the throne for 16 years.

Since Li Zhi ascended the throne, he has carefully followed the ancestral teachings, spread his mind on the country, and did not dare to slack off for a moment.

Because of this, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has become stronger and stronger, and the soldiers have swept the entire Southern Ganbu Continent.

Although the Tang Dynasty was extremely strong, Tang King Li Zhi was sick and sick, and if he was not treated as soon as possible, he would probably die soon.

However, Chang'an officials searched for famous doctors all over the world, but they were helpless against Li Zhi's body, because he was not sick, but overworked.

Although the hundred officials persuaded him many times, Li Zhi was still unmoved, and reviewed the music for at least eight or nine hours a day.

For this reason, the palace posted a list of doctors, as long as Li Zhi's illness can be cured, the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible.

It's just that the emperor list has been posted for half a year, but it is still suffering from wind and rain outside the palace gate.

After nightfall, the lights in the Taihe Hall were bright, and Li Zhi was lying on the dragon book case to review the chapters.

When the drum beat the third watch, an attendant walked into the hall: "Your Majesty, the hour is late, it's time to rest." ”

Li Zhi said without raising his head: "My time is running out, let's do more for Datang." ”

The chamberlain wept and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen will go to Huasheng Temple tomorrow to summon monks and Taoists to the palace with Baiyun Temple to pray for Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi shook his head: "It's useless to remove the labor and money, so don't go." ”

"Your Majesty, the villain heard that there are immortals in the heavenly court, and there are Buddhas in the west, and the power of the immortals and Buddhas will definitely be able to heal Your Majesty's dragon body. It is better to send personal guards to the Immortal Cave Mansion to seek a way to prolong life. ”

Li Zhi raised his head and said: "Immortal Buddhas have existed since ancient times, but they regard the people as ants, what use does such an immortal Buddha want him to do?" ”

Seeing that the chamberlain was silent, Li Zhi continued: "Don't you see that Xiniu Hezhou is full of monsters, monsters are rampant, and the people are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they are worried all day long? Although there are no immortals and no Buddhas in the Tang Dynasty, there are ancestors, and now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people of Li sing and dance, what's wrong? ”

"Your Majesty, although the world is heavy, your dragon body is even more important. Only by taking care of the dragon body can you be the eternal luck of Datang. ”

Li Zhi rubbed his temples: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and Taizong has already set an iron law, the Tang Dynasty king must not be greedy for the art of immortality, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the ancestral temple." Don't talk about this, I'm a little tired, help me rest. ”

Back in the dormitory, Li Zhi fell asleep, not wanting to close his eyes as soon as he saw two figures in robes standing in front of the bed: one in black and one in white.

Li Zhi frowned when he saw this: These two people are by no means people in the palace, how did they enter the palace?

Although he felt strange, Li Zhi did not panic: "Who are you?" ”

The person who came did not answer Li Zhi's question, but said: "Emperor Ren, it's time to go, it's time to go with us." ”

Li Zhi was puzzled: "Where are you going?" ”

"You'll find out when you go." After the man in white finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Li Zhi up.

Li Zhi couldn't help but follow the two of them out, and it didn't take long for him to feel that something was wrong, because there was no road in front of him in the palace.

Although it was night, it was too dark, and the flowers and trees on both sides were something he had never seen before.

What's more, there was a yin wind blowing on the road from time to time, which made Li Zhi feel uncomfortable.

Finally, before the three of them came to a small bridge, the man in white turned his head and said to Li Zhi: "Human Emperor, after crossing this bridge, you will forget your past life and present life." The Wangxiang platform is near the left, does the emperor take a look? ”

It was only then that Li Zhi reacted: "I am dead? Are the two black and white impermanent? ”

The man in white arched his hand and said: "Exactly, the emperor of the people has worked hard for the Tang Dynasty day and night, and his body has been dragged down." Today, the two of us are on the orders of Yama and specially ask the emperor to move to the underworld. ”

Li Zhi woke up violently when he heard this: "Although I am not afraid of death, I have not yet explained what happened after my death!" My death is a small matter, if it is because of my return to the west, which leads to a sudden change in the Tang Dynasty and the people of Li are devastated, can you two afford it? ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi pulled out and wanted to go back.

It's just that before he could take a step, the black impermanence was already in front of him: "Human Emperor, don't make it difficult for me to wait." ”

Li Zhi wanted to leave, but black and white impermanence stopped him, and the three of them were pulling, when they suddenly heard a broken shout: "Stop, the emperor is here, you dare to be presumptuous!" ”

Li Zhi followed the sound and looked at it, only to see a soldier and horse flash out not far away, the leader was dressed in a black python robe, wearing a crown of twelve crowns, and riding a black war horse.

The person who came to Li Zhi turned over and dismounted, and bowed his hand and said: "The emperor is here, the underworld is shining, and the king of the wheel has seen Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "The Wheel King of the Ten Palaces of Yama? ”

The Wheel King nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Li Zhi bowed: "See Yan Jun." ”

The Wheel King hurriedly returned the salute: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the people, and you can't accept such a big gift under your majesty." ”

Then the Wheel King turned his head and asked Black and White Impermanence: "Why did you detain the soul of the Human Emperor here?" ”

Bai Wuchang replied: "The life of the Emperor Yang has ended, and we specially took him here." ”

The Wheel King said angrily: "Nonsense, the Emperor of the People is the Ninety-Five, and I know everything about Yangshou, how can I come to the underworld now?" ”

Black and white impermanence looked at each other when they heard this, and finally black impermanence took out a booklet from his arms and looked through it carefully.

When he was young, Hei Wuchang suddenly turned over and knelt down: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, it is the negligence of his subordinates, and he regards Li Zhi of Lijiazhuang as the emperor of the people." ”

The Wheel King said angrily: "As a soul envoy, it is really an unforgivable sin to be so negligent! Today, you will be punished to serve in the Abi Hell for a hundred years to see the after-effects! ”

Under Li Zhi's persuasion, the Wheel King dissipated his anger: "How many years does the human emperor have to live?" ”

Hei Wuchang hurriedly replied, "Twenty-seven years." ”

The Wheel King nodded: "That's good, if it weren't for the intercession of the Human Emperor, you would definitely let Ruru serve in the Abi Hell for a hundred years, and don't retire quickly!" ”

Seeing that Hei Wuchang left, the Wheel King said to Li Zhi: "A misunderstanding, I hope the emperor will forgive the sin." Now that the Emperor of Man has come to the underworld, you might as well travel with me. ”

Li Zhi smiled slightly: "It's okay, I am busy with state affairs on weekdays, and I rarely talk about the underworld, even Chang'an." It's a good time to take this opportunity to visit and soothe the boredom in your heart. ”

The Wheel King stretched out his hand: "The Emperor of the People, please cross the Nai He Bridge before you really enter the underworld, just now you just walked the Huangquan Road." ”

Standing on the shore and looking at the water of the Lechuan River, except for some turbidity, it is no different from an ordinary river.

But when you get on the Nai He Bridge, the scene in the water changes suddenly: not only are there countless snakes, insects, rats and ants, but also many ghosts are floating in the water.

When the snake rat sees the ghost, it will rush up and surround it, and it will gnaw into white bones in an instant.

The ghost had no power to fight back, and could only let out a piercing scream.

Seeing Li Zhi's face change suddenly, the Wheel King said: "Don't panic, the human emperor, the soul can only enter the underworld by peeling the skin and turning the bones in the Lechuan River and washing away the grievances." Snakes, insects, rats and ants all live on resentment, and without them, these unjust souls would never be reincarnated. ”

Li Zhi was puzzled: "Wronged souls, aren't these souls heinous criminals in their lifetime?" ”

The Wheel King nodded: "These are all unjust souls who died in vain, they are too resentful, if they go straight to the underworld, they will definitely make the Yama Hall angry." Therefore, it is necessary to let it dissolve its resentment in the Lechuan River in order to ensure the peace of the prefecture. ”

"Who judges the good and evil of the ghost in life?"

"There are many ghost judgments when Yama sits down, and they will determine the reincarnation of the soul in the afterlife according to its good and evil in life."
