Chapter 193: The Mystery of Jizo Bodhisattva

Zhang Kaikai is not a madman who wants to fight, especially there is also a righteous Zen master, the character of the righteous Zen master is guaranteed, and it must have been a few people who made such a decision after careful consideration.

The real reason why this battle must be fought is actually the same as Pan Zhengqing's idea in the past, but Pan Zhengqing just thinks that the eight-tailed fox in Yueye Prefecture has broken through to become a nine-tailed sky fox that is like a tiger with wings, and the interests of Yaguan are damaged, but Zhang Kaikai and they have already calculated that if Yueye Prefecture is not disabled this time, even if the two sides are harmonious at the moment, one day they will turn the entire Zhongzhou and even the entire Quartet into a battlefield because of the different paths of the demons.

The people are plunged into an abyss of misery.

In order to prevent this, they finally decided to go to war first.

"I, Qu Yan, originally intended to follow the opening immortals and kill the Moon Leaf Demon together!" This Qu Yan was the first monk to shout out, and then it rose and went, and the whole world seemed to have become a noisy market, all shouting loudly.

Bai Yi didn't say it, but Ji Gu and the lifelong monk had already led them to shout.

"Yueye Prefecture is dangerous, after three months, a few of us will have a final plan how to attack, you only need to make a modest effort, everyone collects firewood, you can make a raging fire and burn the Yueye!" Zhang Kaikai said impassionedly, today, what he needs is an attitude from the Zhongzhou monks.

Now it seems that he is still satisfied.

"Hmm......" Bai Yi suddenly covered his head, it seemed that there was something wrong with Tang Qian on the underworld, Xia Yubing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yi frowned, he only felt a splitting headache at this time: "I'm not sure, but I need to go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion." ”

The lifelong monk looked at his master on the stage not far away, and the righteous Zen master nodded slightly.

A lifelong monk asked, "What is the Scripture Pavilion?"

There are thousands of Buddhist countries in Zhongzhou, among which there are hundreds of Tibetan scripture pavilions.

Bai Yi said softly: "I don't need the biggest, very inconspicuous, especially inconspicuous kind, I seem to need to find a book I have read before." "I am in white and bite very hard, so naturally I am talking about Tang Qian.

A lifetime of monks pinched the trick, a few people left here first, Tang Qian came to Zhongzhou Buddha country only a handful of times, is a noisy to the righteous Zen master will smile bitterly guests, so every time a lifetime of monks is to travel together, Tang Qian's every move, Tang Qian has been to which library pavilions, a lifetime monk knows best.

Handful.

Moreover, the library pavilions that Tang Qian has been to are all particularly uncommon library pavilions, and most of the library pavilions are some Buddhist scriptures, not all kinds of stories of Buddha and Bodhisattva. There is no such thing as a miracle of Buddhism.

At that time, Tang Qian said that he wanted to draw a story of Buddhist scriptures, and he needed to learn it, after all, he didn't know how to draw the Buddha and Bodhisattva, King Kong Zen Master, so during that time, Tang Qian and Bai Yi were soaked in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion almost all day long.

The lifelong monk first brought them to this scripture pavilion, which was also the scripture pavilion where Tang Qian and Bai Yi had stayed for the longest time.

"I need to find it

A book ......" Bai Yi stood at the door of the Scripture Pavilion, seemingly lost in thought, for he was not sure what kind of book he was looking for.

Ji Gu asked the most crucial question: "You can just say a feature, even if there are at least tens of thousands of books here......

Bai Yi said softly, "Perhaps...... Something to do with Jizo Bodhisattva?"

After hearing this, Ji Gu rushed into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, which was really a book pavilion where almost no one came, not even a monk who read a book.

The lifelong monk sighed: "Now even in the Zhongzhou Buddha country, it is difficult to have monks who carefully study the Buddhist scriptures, and the exercises used in the Buddhist country still have magical powers, in fact, half of them are realized in the Buddhist scriptures - but since someone has already realized it, why do you still want to learn the Buddhist scriptures?" He just sighed twice, only to find that he was the only one standing at the door.

Ji Gu's voice came from inside: "Do you want to continue to feel sorry for yourself, or do you want to help us see if this earth king is the Jizo Bodhisattva?"

The lifelong monk hurriedly walked in: "Remember, the Jizo Bodhisattva also has a Dharma name called Jizo King Bodhisattva, or Dida. All the books with such words were handed to Bai Yi, and he was asked to determine which one he was looking for. ”

Bai Yi looked for it faster than everyone else, and when he walked here, his memory became a little clearer, and his mouth kept muttering: "Hell...... Hell is not empty......"

When the lifelong monk heard this, he immediately said, "Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha, it is the grand wish of the Bodhisattva of the Earth, and it is the "Sutra of Good and Evil Karma", and you have to go to the third row of bookshelves, next to you, little fox, yes, the second row at the bottom, look for it. ”

The three-tailed fox has been wilting, after all, his own proprietress has gone to Yueye Prefecture, mainly because he has left himself, he has some tears when he thinks of this, he was born in Yunzhou, was picked up by the proprietress, and has always promised him that he will have to go to the proprietress's hometown to have a look at it one day, but he didn't wait for that time, the proprietress left herself.

I felt uncomfortable, but in the past half a month, he has eased up a little, and when he heard what the monk said, he hurriedly turned into a prototype, a little red fox with three tails, and then ran to the rows of books below.

The pages of the book that no one has touched in the past are a little yellowed, and they are also full of dust, and the whole Buddha country is too big, and it is really too big if you use mana to prevent ash everywhere, so many places in the Buddha Kingdom in Zhongzhou look the same as where mortals are - after all, the family business is too big.

But this made the little fox suffer, and it had to carefully sweep away the dust to check the names of the books, and it was also covered in dust, and could not help sneezing, and after a while it jumped out of the bookcase with a disgraced face, and an old scripture book on its mouth.

It's been a long time since anyone read this book.

The lifelong monk took the scripture book, and blew the dust on it vigorously, before opening the book, and quickly looked for the source of the sentence Tang Qian said, while Zhou Sheng helped the little fox pat the dust on his body.

The lifelong monk said, "The Bodhisattva Jizo has practiced since the immeasurable and boundless eons, and he has already attained it

The Sea of Buddha's Wisdom – In other words, Jizo Bodhisattva can already become the legendary Buddha, and his merits have been fully fulfilled, and he should have attained the Buddha's fruition a long time ago. However, Jizo Bodhisattva made a vow to save all sentient beings, so he concealed his true merits and used his original power and free supernatural powers to appear everywhere to save sentient beings. ”

The lifelong monk looked at Bai Yi, but Bai Yi said, "It's close, but it's not." ”

The monk continued to recite Buddhist scriptures throughout his life, and this time he took out a relatively high Buddhist scripture: "Therefore, it is also recorded in the "Ranga Sutra": There is a bodhisattva of great compassion, and he will never become a Buddha. It is not because the degree is not enough or because of the slackness of practice, but because of the strength of great compassion to transform sentient beings, so although the public is on par with the Buddha, he does not appear the body of the Buddha, and the clock uses the body of the Bodhisattva to get rid of sin and suffering sentient beings. ”

Bai Yi still shook his head.

On the other hand, Ji Gu asked, "Is this Jizo Bodhisattva you are talking about the Bodhisattva of the underworld?"

The lifelong monk nodded: "So if Tang Qian wants to know this Jizo Bodhisattva through the white clothes, there is some truth." ”

"Jizo Bodhisattva can come to the earthly world to transform sentient beings? Not only did he transform some evil ghosts in the underworld? That is to say, the underworld could still come to our mortal world before? That is really a mess. Kigu seemed to be trying to make a joke.

But Xia Yubing exclaimed, and everyone looked at her.

Xia Yubing said softly: "Does that mean that there is a way from the underworld to the Four Directions? Tang Qian wants us to find this way?"

The lifelong monk also hurriedly helped to rummage: "It should be a longer era than the era of the end of the Dharma, and many things at that time were no longer exquisite-I heard that at that time, there were not only Jizo Bodhisattvas, but also the heavenly court, the immortals, and the Buddha was alive - not just thought that the Buddha, so the Buddha and immortals with names and surnames in the Buddhist scriptures were all in the same era - that era may be the most prosperous era of cultivation in the Four Directions Realm. ”

Ji Gu knew more than a lifelong monk in some aspects, and what he knew best was "miscellaneous science", so he said: "But they are gone." After speaking, he looked at Xia Yubing, as if he was waiting for someone to ask him: "Why is it gone?"

"Huh?" asked the three-tailed fox, who had even forgotten that he was still a fox, and squealed twice.

However, Ji Gu could understand the beast language, so he said: "Maybe it's because of the changes in heaven and earth, maybe it's because of the catastrophe between heaven and earth, or maybe they all went to another world - this kind of thing can be said to be a mystery for the ages, but at one time, all the gods and Buddhas disappeared one after another, and there were no gods in heaven and earth - now only some gods remain, all of them are land fathers or something." ”

Zhou Sheng said calmly: "So in the end, you didn't say anything about Ji Gu's predecessors, and you don't know the reason, which is equivalent to talking nonsense for a long time." ”

Ji Gu raised his eyebrows: "Little ghost, you better go and be a monk, cultivate a closed mouth meditation or something." Especially for you. ”

Then Ji Gu said: "So the things of that era are almost impossible to study, too long, Buddhist scriptures are easy to obtain, and wild history is difficult to find."

If you want to know what happened at that time, the regular Buddhist scriptures will not record any 'secret passage between the underworld and the four directions', what we are looking for is the kind of book that is very ancient and very old, and the pages seem to be rotten, and there may be something we want in it. ”

Ji Gu said with certainty: "It's like this one." He stooped down and took out a tattered book from the bottom floor of the library, and he began to look through it, so carefully that he even turned the pages into pieces...... He didn't stop either.

Then Ji Gu put down the book a little dejectedly: "It's all a little story of the Buddha, and there is no way to find it at all, if Tang Qian remembers it so clearly, does he know the style of the specific book...... Bai Yi?" Ji Gu found that Bai Yi was carefully flipping through the book that he was sure was nothing.

"What's really here?" asked Kigu uncertainly.

Bai Yi said with certainty: "This is it." ”

Bai Yi opened the dilapidated book and read: "This story is probably about ......" Bai Yi looked at the words on the tattered book uncertainly: "A woman named Guangmu ......" After speaking, he looked at the monk all his life, hoping to get an accurate answer.

The lifelong monk pondered carefully for a long time before saying: "Guangmu seems to be one of the many names of Jizo Bodhisattva, but the first time I heard about the complete Jizo Bodhisattva is the story of Guangmu, and when I mentioned Jizo Bodhisattva before, some classics would record this name. ”

Bai Yi nodded and read: "Guangmu's mother was very fond of eating fish roe during her lifetime, which caused a lot of killing karma, so she knew that her mother would fall into the evil path after she died—was it just those six reincarnations that were not very good?"

The lifelong monk said: "The way of hell, the way of hungry ghosts, and the way of animals." It is the three paths in which those who do evil and those who have sinful karma will be reborn. Then he motioned for Bai Yi to continue reading.

"Guangmu then invited the arhat to sit and watch, and when he saw that his mother was indeed suffering in hell, the Guangmu woman recited the Buddha wholeheartedly and made offerings with Buddha statues, and later her mother was reincarnated in the family of Guangmu, and was told that at the age of thirteen, she would die in a short life, because the karma of killing was too heavy, and the roe was also a living being......

Everyone was very strange, this matter seemed to have nothing to do with getting Tang Qian out of the underworld.

Tang Qian in the underworld slowly opened his eyes and whispered: "Guangmu is a filial daughter, she vows to save all sentient beings who are suffering from sin, and finally the mother of Guangmu can also get out of the sea of suffering." ”

This story is very simple, but it is not simple, because when Tang Qian read this story on the white side, it took a hundred times longer to listen to it, and then he found that this is the story of the Hundred Deaths Diagram of the Seventh Temple!

And the protagonist of the story is the Jizo Bodhisattva.

The doubts in Tang Qian's eyes were even stronger, he vaguely remembered this story, so he asked Jizo Bodhisattva what he thought of the woman who ate fish roe, and Jizo Bodhisattva's reply did not leave any emotion, and he couldn't see that this was his mother at all.

As for why the light eyes are women, and the Jizo Bodhisattva appears

Appearing as a man, Tang Qian didn't feel strange, Buddha and Bodhisattva, gender is no longer important, according to their ideas, they can change at any time, and their appearance and body are useless skins.

The point is why Jizo Bodhisattva, although generally similar to what he knew, has slightly different details, such as the fact that he uses magic to maintain his easy-going image......

"What is the reason for this strange incongruous feeling?" Tang Qian still couldn't figure it out.

Tang Qian paced back and forth in the small courtyard.

At this time, Bai Twenty-three suddenly poked his head out of the door hole on the side and said, "What can't you figure out?"

Tang Qian sighed: "When I go to the fifth hall then, won't you be able to follow?"

Hundred and twenty-three suddenly became very lost: "Yes......"

Tang Qian sighed again: "So you've been telling Jizo about me?" or Judge Cui?"

Bai Twenty-three was a little confused by this sudden questioning, she was stunned, and she was stunned for a long time before she said, "That's what Childe thinks?"

Tang Qian actually didn't feel any malice from Bai Twenty-three, but he was very sure that he was not monitored by any spells or Dao techniques when he was in the bathhouse, and even if he was returned to the void, it was impossible for him not to notice it at all.

That's only one hundred and twenty-three.

Tang Qian thought that Bai Twenty-three was really innocent, maybe he had accidentally done something wrong, so he said softly: "I hope it wasn't you who did it." ”

The meaning of this sentence is almost the same as that you did it.

Bai Twenty-Three just looked at Tang Qian, Tang Qian couldn't read the meaning in Bai Twenty-three's eyes, those eyes had no pupils, no black eyes, only endless white, she looked at it for a long time, turned around and left.

As he walked, he said: "Since the Hundred Ghosts Diagram of the Seventh Hall has been drawn, there is no such thing as Hundred Twenty-Three, please take care of the road after Childe, if you return to the Seventh Hall to modify the Hundred Death Diagram, Hundred Twenty-Three will still welcome Childe." ”

After saying that, the man has gone away.

Tang Qian didn't know why, he always felt a little empty in his heart, very strange, people are like this, in a strange environment, if there is still a person who is not too strange, it is a good thing.

Now that this not too strange person has also left, Tang Qian decided to sleep with his head covered for six or seven days, and then go to the fifth hall, and the matter of Jizo Bodhisattva was left behind to think, the most unlikely possibility was already in front of him, but Tang Qian still didn't want to be sure of this matter for the time being, these days were extremely boring, only sleep - here he didn't dare to drink either flower wine or drink.

Because Tang Qian didn't know if he would drink a demon dressed in the skin of a beautiful woman when he drank flower wine, and he didn't know if he would drink any dungeon wine made with blood - he was really not used to the taste of dungeon, so he should wait until he died to enjoy it.

When Tang Qian was still sleeping, Zhongzhou had already decided a lot of things.

For example, four people were dispatched at one time to return to the void, and Xianyun Yehebei was in the north

The underworld, the Heavenly Master's Mansion Zhong Tianshi, the Zhongzhou Buddha Righteous Zen Master, and the Ye Xiu return to the void Lu Buwei.

"Actually, you don't really need to add me, really. Lu Buwei usually speaks very little, but he always feels that the words Ye Xiu returns to the void are not right, and they are ugly and have no cards, so he has been thinking about accepting an apprentice in the past two days, and then it can be regarded as starting a sect, at least adding the name of the sect in front of him, which sounds louder.

So he set his sights on Ji Gu Zhousheng.

This incident itself is full of coincidences, but Lu Buwei thought that he didn't even have a sect, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he wanted to take a walk, and when he passed by a small town in Zhongzhou Buddhism, he heard a conversation between a pair of masters and apprentices.

The cultivation of this pair of masters and apprentices is not very high, the master claims to be a Duobao Daoist, and the apprentice who was drunk by Hula is probably surnamed Li.

The content of the conversation is nothing more than the short of the parents, Master Recently, we are going to have no entanglement, is it that Master is doing a Fa or something in a small country in a small world in Zhongzhou Buddhism?

For the monks who practice in Zhongzhou Buddhism, these secular mortals are the first step for them to take the red dust, maybe the mortals here will not have so many deceitful people because of the influence of the Buddha country, but they can still simply experience the suffering of the world here, and the world is warm and cold.

What really made Lu Buwei realize was that he had already left the town so far away, and then he understood why he was so concerned about the conversation between the master and the apprentice.

Why don't they have a sect and a nickname before I have cultivated to a high level? That master looks sloppy, and there is no master cultivation, let alone a master demeanor, there are disciples, and when you go out to introduce them, you can also bring them with you, and the boy surnamed Li can introduce himself as a disciple of Duobao Daoist Li Moumou, Duobao Daoist is better, and his name is very loud.

And then I thought, why don't you find a disciple too?

Lu Buwei is an upright person and very enthusiastic, if his friends need him, he basically goes to the soup and fires, so this time the Northern Underworld Dao will pull him, but sometimes, this person is really a little tendoned.

Lu Buwei thought in his heart: "This Zhongzhou Buddha Kingdom is full of disciples of various factions at this time, and it is not good for me to snatch apprentices from anyone, although I want apprentices, but I can't take advantage of others, so if I really want to find apprentices, I must find those who have no sects and no sects——"

Lu Buwei thought of where it was, he was obviously moving forward, and when he thought of this, he stopped, and went back and forth: "No, no, there are basically mortals who don't have a sect here, and most of the qualified mortals in the Zhongzhou Buddha Kingdom have converted to Buddhism, this group of bald ......" He didn't forget to look around here, remembering that this place was still someone else's territory, so he added: "The bald masters naturally won't leave me one or two who can be apprentices." If I really find a stupid apprentice, I might as well crash to death. ”

"So it's best to find someone with good qualifications, but no sect yet...... this

Isn't it coming back again, where can I find this kind of apprentice......" Although Lu Buwei was pacing, he was a monk after all, and the next step was half a mountain, and in one more step, he crossed a small world, and unconsciously came to the small world where the lifelong monk was.

happened to see Ji Gu and Zhou Sheng who were complaining to each other.

Zhou Sheng said: "Look, you didn't guess what Tang Qian wanted in the underworld and said that I disturbed the master of my life to find the classics and was driven out." ”

Although Ji Gu has cultivation, his personality is more like a gentleman young master, and he even plays Lai Pi: "That's not because you are clumsy, I see that you are not smart and difficult to concentrate, I can't guess what Tang Qian wants to do with that Buddhist story." ”

Lu Buwei saw the two of them in the distance, he was thinking about accepting apprentices, and he saw two people who were very suitable to be his apprentices, and they appeared in front of Ji Gu and Zhou Sheng in a flash.

Ji Gu Zhousheng knew a large number of returning monks, and was about to bow down, but he didn't expect Lu Buwei to say directly: "Don't bow, you can kowtow to me." ”

Ji Gu and Zhou Sheng didn't understand, and looked at each other suspiciously.

Lu Buwei continued: "You want to worship me as a teacher." ”

Ji Gu still didn't understand a little, and was about to say a few words and then ask why Lu Bu meant, but just opened his mouth: "Ah, senior......"

Lu Buwei said bluntly: "Needless to say, you have a teacher, the little ghost here seems to be the number of roads in Yunzhou, and even a little bit like the mana fluctuation under the dead Sima, all say that Sima is dead, and he naturally has no teacher for this cultivation, and he can become my apprentice without a teacher." ”

Then he pointed at Ji Gu again: "You kid too, it seems that you know the magic of seven or eight families, and there are many insects and beasts, but after all, none of them are majors, it seems that they are proficient in many people, the problem is that I know the sects of those magic tricks you know, I have never heard of a genius who can practice the destiny of heaven with a mess of blind practice, so you don't have a teacher." ”

Then Lu Buwei said with a smile: "Look at how you worship me as a teacher, I also have a sect, you are the great disciple of the founding mountain and the second disciple of the founding mountain - my sect is called ......"

Lu Buwei only thought that he didn't even seem to have a name for the sect when he said this, so he habitually patted the narrow knife on his waist, and then had an idea: "It's called the big knife gate, isn't it very domineering?"

Ji Gu and Zhou Sheng both felt that the person in front of them was a fake Lu Buwei, or was he just a madman who was proficient in disguise?
