Chapter 275: Ghosts

Isn't the underworld terrifying? This may be a beautiful misunderstanding.

Is it really the eighteen layers of hell that are decorations?

However, for most people, the underworld is still friendly, after all, not everyone has the honor of visiting the eighteenth floor of hell, right?

What Jizo saw and heard along the way changed his view of the underworld, and from the perspective of the tour, the underworld also has a unique flavor~

They waded through rivers, crossed the sea of flowers, passed by an inn, and then gradually descended deeper into the underworld~

There are more and more people on the road, no, there are more and more ghosts, and these ghosts don't look any different from the living, and they look very different from the wandering ghosts before~

There was ~ a little more vitality, as if they were still alive.

They walked into a huge city, and the ghost people in it were bustling, looking lively, shouting, shouting, and noisy, and even he saw children chasing and fighting, and pedestrians scolding~

It all looks so unreal~

"Is this the legendary ghost-ridden, eerie and terrifying underworld?how is it a little~~"

Just when Jizo was stunned, this existence called Che suddenly stopped, and he saw the bull head and horse face turn his head and say to him,

"Venerable, it's time to stop!"

"Arrived?"

I saw the bull head and horse face open the car door, and Jizo walked down in a daze, what he saw and heard just now made his impact a little big, if the underworld is like this, why do you need him to do it?

Following the guidance of the bull head and horse face, Jizo enters a palace and meets the head of the underworld

- Emperor Xudu!

"Your Majesty, Venerable Jizo's subordinates have been brought!"

I saw the bull-headed horse facing the Emperor Xudu who was on the top and saluted and said.

"Hmm~ Let's go down!"

"Yes!"

Niu Tou Ma Mian replied and withdrew from the palace, and closed the palace door with his hand.

"Bang dang!"

With this muffled sound, Jizo's heart also chuckled, raised his head upward, and bowed to Emperor Xudu,

"Jizo has seen Your Majesty!"

But the Emperor Xudu on the seat didn't seem to hear it, and he was still looking at the recital in his hand without the slightest reaction.

In this regard, he secretly recited a Buddha name in his heart, no wonder he was so smooth along the way, it turned out that the calamity was here~

Maintaining a saluting posture, Jizo was solemn in his heart, it was nothing to enter the underworld, it was rare how to get the consent of the above, but now he had no good way, he could only hope that Emperor Xudu would not embarrass him in front of all living beings~

The silence in the hall was terrifying, and Di Ting, who was originally following Jizang, was already so frightened that he clamped his tail tightly, hugged Jizo's calves tightly, and trembled,

"It's scary, I hope it won't be stewed as dog meat~"

And Jizo also felt that the atmosphere was depressing, a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the monk's robe behind him was even more wet, his face was pale, and he silently recited Buddhist scriptures in his heart to resist this invisible pressure~

After a long time, a voice appeared in Jizo's ears like a heavenly sound,

"Get up!"

Emperor Xudu put down the piece in his hand and looked at the young monk below

Jizo didn't care about wiping the sweat on his face, and hurriedly saluted and said,

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he lowered his head to show his obedience, showing the harmlessness of Buddhism, well, on the surface.

"Raise your head! Your hell is not empty, where is your domineering spirit that vows not to become a Buddha?

Emperor Xudu tapped his fingers on the tabletop, each blow like a knock on Jizo's heart.

Jizo's heart jumped, and he shouted a Buddha horn, and said in a deep voice,

"The poor monk is a monk, and the peace talks are domineering?

Hearing this, Emperor Xudu suddenly lost interest in the Jizo in front of him, and he didn't know what he was expecting, or what kind of Jizo he wanted to see, but the Jizo in front of him was not exactly in line with his imagination~

"Stand down!" the Emperor waved his hand boredly, and picked up the piece on the table again.

"Huh?" Jizo wondered if he had misheard, it was so scary just now, and now it was let go so lightly?

Although Jizo was full of questions, it was not the time to be entangled, so he saluted and said,

"Little monk farewell!"

The Diting Divine Beast under his feet also bowed to the ground with his front legs and made a big salute to the emperor's throne above, and walked out of the main hall after his master Jizo.

But just as they walked out of the palace, a voice suddenly came into their ears, and they were frightened.

"I admire your virtue, but I am very dissatisfied with your approach, so I won't make an example!"

Not for example, the four words made Jizo's heart tremble a little, as if facing a great terror, but fortunately, after a while, Jizo quickly woke up, but he was sweating profusely, and his whole body seemed to be fished out of a water tank~

"Jizo obeys!"

After saluting the Emperor Xudu again, he walked out of the palace gate tremblingly, but his heart was full of joy.

He's passed!

And Di Ting glanced at the palace behind him, as if he saw a monster that could devour them at any time with teeth and claws, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment, he just wanted to escape from this place quickly~

When they came out, they saw a bull-headed horse face waiting on the sidelines, and a strange-looking face

"Jizo has seen you, I don't know who this is~?" Jizo made a Buddhist salute to everyone, looked at the bull head and horse face and asked.

"Styx!"

"Styx? Jizo has seen the Ancestor!"

"Hmph, you don't have to, I'm just here to take a look!"

As Styx said, he really just came to see what kind of being could make such a grand wish!

After Jizo made a grand wish, the Heavenly Dao felt it, and the underworld also gave birth to a vision, which naturally alarmed the Styx, who was in retreat in the depths of the sea of blood, not to mention that the ten halls of Yama were all his incarnations, and now that the Buddha Gate was stationed in the underworld, how could he not pay attention?

In fact, he also admires Jizo!

Although he Styx used the soul to create the Shura clan, it doesn't mean that he is an evil person!

There is no standard for the definition of good and evil, in the final analysis, it is the pursuit of power and the pursuit of the great road.

Hope that one day you will get out of it and take the last step.

Daozu once said that there are three thousand avenues, all of them can be preached, and the Styx Shura is only the evolution of his own avenue, but it has nothing to do with good and evil.

His killing avenue is also the avenue of heaven and earth, and now he is incarnated as Yama, and he also uses the blade in his hand to cut away sin and practice the avenue, so how can he one-sidedly measure a person's good and evil?

Born in a sea of blood, Styx has seen through the world for thousands of years, and knows that Jizo's ambition will never be fulfilled one day.

Because of an oath, burying his own way forward, I don't know if it's really stupid or fake~

Well, it is also possible to rely on the bitter meat of the underworld~

Thinking of this, Styx glanced at Jizo with deep eyes and left, as if he really just came to see it, and now that he has seen it, it is time to leave.

Looking at the back of the departing River Styx, Jizo was a little confused,

Are all the people in the underworld so weird?

And the bull-headed horse on the side didn't say anything when he saw this, but just took Jizo to the entrance of the eighteenth layer of hell, where there are countless evil ghosts, and it is a treasure land for ghosts~

"His Holiness is here, our brothers have taken their leave!"

After the bull head and horse face took Jizo to their destination, he also took his leave and left, leaving only Jizo and Diting with one man and one beast, as well as endless evil spirits.

Jizo looked at the surrounding scene and sat cross-legged, this place is not a good place at first glance, but there is already a place to settle in the underworld, thinking of this, Jizo recited the scriptures in his mouth, and evolved the pure land of Buddhism.

Incarnate as six, for the Tantuo Jizo, the Orb Jizo, the Treasure Seal Jizo, the Holding Dizang, the Barrier Jizo, the Sunshine Jizo, the Zen sound bursts, emitting the supreme Buddha light.

Under this peaceful light of the Buddha, Di Ting also turned into his true appearance, lying beside Jizo, enjoying the washing of the Buddha's light, purifying its soul and eliminating the anger in its heart.

This burst of Buddha sound and golden Buddha light is like a big light bulb in the darkness, attracting the evil spirits around it.

The evil ghosts in these underworlds, those with good nature, have already arranged to be reincarnated, or enter the ghost town to become good ghosts.

Like these, most of them are outside the underworld, most of them are evildoers in their lifetime, and they turn into powerful ghosts after death, and they are not subject to control even when they go to the underworld.

These evil spirits are full of black faces, perverse faces, teeth and claws, and their eyes are full of madness and hatred, and now they are attracted by the light of the Buddha and rush to this place overwhelmingly.

And these terrible ghosts looked even more hideous when they saw Jizo, the living person, and the hatred for the living had been imprinted in their souls.

They're all dead, why are you still alive?

Come and accompany him!

Isn't it good to become a ghost together?

The wind gusted, and the ghosts cried, like a magic sound in their ears, rushing into Jizo's mind, but Jizo was unmoved, chanting scriptures, and the ghosts rushed to Jizo together.

But before he got close to Jizo, he was blocked by the Buddha's light around Jizo, burning wisps of black gas.

At the same time, a pure and flawless golden light emanated from Jizo's side and enveloped the ghosts.

All those ghosts who were shrouded in golden light suddenly disappeared with black qi on their faces, revealing their true faces one by one.

After his face was less angry, in the golden light, those ghosts showed expressions of relief one by one, and gathered around Jizo, listening intently to his chanting, as if they had become devout Buddhists, and had nothing to think about except the Dharma.

The exercises of Buddhism have some elements that confuse people's minds, but they are the nemesis of these ghosts, and when they are transformed, they lose themselves and become a member of the supreme Buddha realm.

The effect of Jizo is not only good, but also terrible!

With the blessings of these enlightened ghosts, the area of the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom is constantly expanding, and more and more ghosts are being transformed, surrounding Jizo, and chanting sutras with him.

Like a snowball, the scope of the Jizo Buddha's light gradually expanded, and it soon gained a foothold.

Seeing this, Jizo also slightly restrained the effect, except for those who are really related to the Buddha, those evil ghosts will not be tempered too thoroughly, but will eliminate their sins, meet the requirements of reincarnation, and enter reincarnation on their own.

With the passage of time, Jizo's reputation began to spread like other ghosts, and everyone knew that there was a powerful person in the underworld who could help people quickly eliminate the sins on their bodies and achieve the purpose of reincarnation.

And when those ghosts saw that Jizo could transform evil spirits so easily, they were all stunned!

In the eyes of these demons, in order to eliminate the sins of those evil spirits in life, they all have to go through all kinds of tribulations in hell, and only after the suffering of the evil spirits in life can they have the opportunity to be reincarnated.

But now Jizo's actions have completely subverted the view of the earth for thousands of years, and just by reciting a few verses of the scriptures, the sins of those evil spirits can be removed, which is beyond their imagination.

In fact, they don't know, in fact, Taoist scriptures can also be used, but few people do it in the underworld.

Most of these ghosts were human beings in their lifetimes, and even if they become ghosts now, they still retain some of their habits in life.

Laziness is the nature of living beings, and in previous lives, it was called the seven deadly sins by Catholicism along with arrogance, jealousy, anger, greed, gluttony, and lust, so this is the root nature of living beings, and even if they become ghosts, they cannot be avoided.

And those ghosts have to supervise the evil spirits every day, day after day, and they will get tired of changing to anyone, but this is their duty, and the meaning of their existence is that they can't help but do it.

Now Jizo can easily surpass the means of evil spirits, which has greatly reduced their workload, so these ghosts are naturally happy in their hearts.

However, they also have some doubts about the origin of Jizo, but some ghosts say that he saw Jizo come out of His Majesty's palace with his own eyes and was brought here by the bull head and horse face, so there will be no problem in thinking about it.

After all, compared to these ghosts, the bull head and horse face of the Wu clan are more trusted by His Majesty, since they didn't say that there was a problem, then there would be no problem with Jizo's identity~

Besides, after so many years, they have never seen anyone dare to make trouble in the underworld!

Year after year, day after day, Jizo followed him in the underworld, and since then he has been living his life as a demon.

With the addition of Jizo, a little expert in degree, these ghosts' performance over the years has risen steadily, and their wages have increased several times, and they all looked at Jizo with reverent eyes.

And among the evil spirits that have been transformed by Jizo, there are also many people who are members of the original Buddhism.

After these people died, there was originally only one way to go through reincarnation, but now there is one more choice, which is also the reason why Zhun Ti let Jizo enter the underworld back then, accumulating seeds for Buddhism.

And for those Buddhist believers, it is a great joy to turn around, and now there are Bodhisattva-level figures who come to the underworld to transform sentient beings, and these people naturally want to come to visit Jizo.

Subtly, they became more devout in their belief in Buddhism.

When Jizo learned that these people were Buddhists, he remembered his master's and uncle's long-cherished wish to promote Buddhism, so he began to give them lectures and teachings in his spare time every day, cultivating their devotion to Buddhism.

These people originally belonged to those believers who had firm beliefs but had no chance to hear Dafa, but now they are willing to teach the Great Dao by the Bodhisattvas of Jizo, and one by one they voluntarily stay by Jizo's side to practice the Dharma and not enter reincarnation.

The power of Buddhism in the underworld is growing!
