Ghost Road (9)
Xiaoyao Mountain, Magu heard the words of the mountain, and was quite moved, but she was afraid that she would not be able to do her duty properly, and she would not be able to protect the creatures in the mountain. The mountain god seemed to know Magu's concerns, and said, "Child, I know that you have doubts in your heart. The Wheel King once said that man is full of lust, and the biggest difference between God and man is that God has no human heart. Therefore, child, as long as your thoughts are not mixed with people's desires, you maintain a 'pure' heart, a 'sincere' style of acting, 'endure' things that ordinary people can't bear, 'endure' the hardships that ordinary people can't bear, and don't be happy or sad for the sake of gain or loss, then you are a righteous God. ”
Magu nodded as if she didn't understand, and the mountain god said again: "Child, after all, you have not cultivated, and you have not really honed your heart. If you want to be a god, you still lack your own virtue, and this mind is not up to standard, so you still need to hone it. ”
Magu asked, "God, what do I need to do?" The mountain god said: "In today's society, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. Human beings are willing to sell their souls for the sake of selfish interests. The literati and Confucian scholars did not take it as their duty to educate the people of the world and cultivate the Tao and do good, but they were obsessed with profit, wealth, sex, and anger, and abandoned virtue, loyalty, righteousness, sincerity, filial piety, and their own hearts for the sake of the so-called fame. Black and white right and wrong are reversed, and human beings insult and slander God. What is true and what is false, human beings believe lies more than truth. Books of obscenity, slander, and inauthenticity are even more popular, trampling on the thousand-year-old civilization of mankind, and books have long lost their educational function.
Although these idioms are known to the world, they are mostly known but not used and not learned. The gods and Buddhas are compassionate to all sentient beings, and those who lead the Heavenly Dao of Heaven to awaken the divine beasts, Ze is the world, and protect the world, and those who lead the ghosts and the Heavenly Destiny awaken the conscience of the world, sublimate the morality of the world, and rebuild the Book Mountain. However, although the Heavenly and Ghost Twin Paths are the path of salvation left by the gods and Buddhas to the world, they are also the last choice for the beings in the Three Realms to reposition themselves. The beings who help the Heavenly and Ghost Dualists complete their mission will be blessed and have a good future, while those who hinder the completion of the mission of the Heavenly and Ghost Dualists will eventually be completely destroyed.
Hua Lonely Xi is one of the righteous paths of the ghost path of the Mandate of Heaven, there is a dilemma of life and death, he will be whipped by three hundred and sixty lashes, trampled by one thousand hundred and eighty-five feet, suffered from broken tendons and fractures, and ten thousand ants devouring his body, and suffered from the cold and freezing for two days, without shaking his heart, and when he dies, he can become a 'righteous' immortal, and will give all beings in the world the arrogance of daring to 'sacrifice their lives for righteousness' for justice and truth. ”
After the mountain god said, Magu suddenly felt a shaking in the foreground, and looked at it and saw that she was in a cave. The voice of the mountain god came from afar, "Child, you have broken off with Hua Lone-hee's 'popularity', and you will witness him suffer a catastrophe. ”
The sound of "popping" came from the depths of the hole, and it was the sound of a leather whip waving. Magu looked for the sound of the whip step by step into the cave, and saw that there were two handcuffs on the rock wall, Hua Lonely's hands were tightly handcuffed to them, and both feet were restrained by a thumb-thick iron chain, and one end of the iron chain was a granite stone weighing thousands of catties.
Ze Rin sat leisurely on a Taishi chair, looked at Hua Lonely, and said, "Say, where did you hide the Ghost Dao Heavenly Destiny?" Hua Lixi had blood at the corner of her mouth, she was embarrassed, and she spit out two words with righteousness, "I don't know." ”
The leather whip "snapped" on Hua Lone's body, and every whip must be peeled open. Magu looked uncomfortable, "Don't fight." He yelled and rushed forward. In the mountain temple, the mountain god witnessed all this and shook his head secretly, "Human affairs, human disasters." The human body is nothing but a shell, and it has come to life. Kid, you're looking at things from people's hearts!"
Magu rushed to Hua Xixi's side and hugged him tightly, wanting to be whipped for him. However, every time the whip goes down, it will always pass through Magu's body and hit Hua Lone-occhi's body. Magu was very uncomfortable, and cried: "Brother Hua, you have to come on, don't lose your nature, so that you can become an immortal, there will be arrogance in the world, and you will have the noble character of daring to 'sacrifice your life for righteousness' for justice and truth." ”
One, two, three...... The barbed leather whip rained down on Hua Lianxi's body, and the bright red blood dripped to the ground. The new wound covered the old one, and the heart-rending pain weighed on Hua Lonely, and finally fainted. However, then a biting cold water was poured on his face, pulling him back to reality. Woke up, another whipping. Hua Lianxi bit her lip, and her gums were also blue, but she still refused to beg for mercy. Whenever he couldn't hold on, there was always a voice in his ear: "Don't forget your heart, you will become a 'righteous' immortal, there are arrogant bones in the world, and 'sacrificing your life to take righteousness' is the right road." ”
The ghosts and ghosts were tired of killing the people, and they rested, as the mountain god said, Hua Lianxi was whipped a full three hundred and sixty-five, no more, no less. Ze Rin lazily took a sip of tea, closed his eyes again, and motioned to the ghost to kill a person to medicine Hua Lone-hee's wound so as not to die. Then he looked at Hua Xixi and said, "Boy, why are you so troubled, you are not familiar with them." It's better than this, as long as you promise not to help the Ghost Path Destiny anymore, I will let you die a happy death. ”
Hua Lianxi was stunned, Ze Rin mistakenly thought that he had persuaded Hua Lianxi, and motioned to the doorman to untie the handcuffs and chains on Hua Lianxi's body, but suddenly heard Hua Lianxi say: "I am also a ghost Dao Heavenly Destiny, are you making me even abandon myself?" Ze Rin was angry, kicked Hua Lianxi, kicked him to the ground, and then kicked him again. When he was tired of kicking, he told the doorman to kick it.
Hua Lixi's injuries were added to the injury, and he coughed up blood again and again. Magu was uncomfortable and wanted to replace him. But that one foot was like a leather whip, always passing through her body and kicking on Hua Lone-hee.
"Don't kick, don't kick. ”
Magu cried and cried, counting, one, two, three...... The ghosts and ghosts took turns to kick Hua Lonely, day and night, until one thousand and eighty-five feet, and Hua Lonely was dying.
"Take the life-saving pill. Ze Rin struggled to bloom Lonely Xi's mouth, forced a purple pill into Hua Lonely Xi's mouth, and said, "Look at how good I am to you, I can't bear you to die." Hua Lianxi sneered: "Thank you for your hypocrisy, but the Tao is not the same, and no matter how much you spend, it will be in vain." ”
"Good boy, it's really a toast and don't eat, eat and drink. Ze Rin was so angry that he ordered the doorman to bring a hammer and knock it on Hua Linxi's right hand. With a heart-rending cry of pain, Hua Lonely fainted. However, Ze Rin felt that it was not enough, and he knocked down on Hua Lianxi's left hand again. Then "Ping Pong" seemed to be knocking on a stone, knocking Hua Lixi's whole body all over.
"Wake him up. Ze Rin instructed the people to wake up Hua Lonely, and said coldly: "Boy, are you still hard-mouthed?" Hua Lonely said: "Do you think this will make me soft?" The ancients Zeng Yun, 'Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world'. How can I, a cultivator, be weaker than them? ”
"You ......" Ze Rin was furious, poured a bucket of honey on Hua Lianxi, and shouted: "Aren't you very strong, don't you want to 'sacrifice your life for righteousness', okay, I will fulfill you." I will gnaw at your bones with 10,000 ants, eat your flesh and blood, and eventually turn you into a dry bone. After that, he ordered the ghost killer to take the jar that raised ants and smashed it directly on Hua Lone's side. As the jar shattered, thousands of ants poured into Hua Lone-xi, burrowing into the flesh through the wound and pouring into the veins along the blood. Hua Lone-hee's tendons were broken and she couldn't move, watching the ants gnaw at her flesh. endured the pain of ten thousand ants eroding the bones, although the cry was terrible, but the heart said: "This body is just a layer of clothing, no matter how rampant you are, you can't move my own figure." ”
Magu listened to Hua Lonely's screams, and couldn't bear it, so she drove away the ants with her hands and said, "You guys go away quickly, you are creating karma and will go to hell." ”
The ants seemed to understand Magu's words, and came out of Hua Lone's flesh and muscles, and left the cave under the leadership of the mother ants. The mountain god shook his head and sighed: "Child, because your heart can't bear it, you save this group of ants that should be destroyed, and you need to bear endless karma for them; Human beings are only afraid that the boundary between 'selfishness' and 'righteousness' will be unclear and that rewards will be inappropriate. ”
Seeing the ten thousand ants leaving, the ghosts and ghosts threw Hua Lone-hee out of the cave under Zerin's orders. Outside this cave, it was snowing heavily, and Hua Lone-hee was hit by the cold weather, and she suddenly felt drowsy. Suddenly, a voice said: "Brother Hua, don't sleep, your virtue is not enough." ”
Hua Lianxi suddenly opened her eyes, and said in her heart that she had to move, otherwise she would be buried in the snowdrift and die. Then the lower jaw touches the ground, and the head is used as a support, driving the whole body forward.
"No, can't sleep, my Widder isn't enough. If you fall asleep like this, you will not be able to attain a complete righteousness. ”
Hua Lone-hee endured a day with a tenacious will, but the snow fell even more on the second day. Magu complained to the heavens: "God, how can you be so cruel?" The mountain god heard Magu's words, and was disappointed for a while, "Child, how many sins you suffer, how much virtue you will achieve." Although Hua Lonely Xi suffered less from the bones of ten thousand ants because of you, how can this demon be reduced and reduced, but it was just a different way and was robbed again. ”
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Hua Lone-hee lost her strength and couldn't move her body, and was instantly buried by the snow. Magu wanted to throw the snow away, but was stopped by the mountain god. The mountain god said: "The heart is strong, the snow melts, if others help, the virtue is reduced, and you still need to suffer." Magu withdrew her hand, shed tears, and silently cheered for Hua Lonely.
"Brother Hua, come on, the sunrise (morning) has passed. ”
"Brother Hua, come on, the middle of the day has passed. ”
"Brother Hua, come on, the day (afternoon) has passed. ”
"Brother Hua, come on, dusk has arrived. ”
......
"Is dusk coming, but I'm at my limit!" Hua Lianxi had already been numb from the ice and snow and lost consciousness, but when she thought that she was not enough, she didn't want to swallow this last breath. I don't know how long it took, Hua Lonely Xi was vague, and suddenly heard a voice say: "Righteousness is the right reason in the world, and the Tao is the way to pass the world, and your virtue is enough." ”
Hua Lianxi smiled, her whole body relaxed, and she swallowed her last breath.
