(Two more votes!)
"Master, what will you do with the spirit of this trolls flower?"
Between the clouds and mist, thousands of mountains and ravines fly upside down. Xiao Qi'er stood on Erqing's shoulder and asked.
Erqing smiled and asked, "So, what does the finch want to do with this man-eating flower fairy?"
The little finch stretched out its little wings and ground its little head as if it were scratching its head.
After a long time, she said: "Although this guy is a heinous person who mutilates other flower and plant spirits, if he is beaten to pieces like this, then we and this trolls seem to be no different." Otherwise, let his soul return to the Netherworld, and let the Netherworld Emperor dispose of it!"
Erqing nodded and said, "That's as you said! It's just that I don't know how to open the Netherworld's door, and I still have to ask others about this." ”
When he returned to Qingcheng Mountain, Erqing asked Yang Chan and asked her if she knew how to hook up with the netherworld. If she didn't understand, then Erqing had to ask the two immortals of Stalagmite Mountain.
Yang Chan smiled and said, "This matter is easy! just cast a spell, you can take care of it." ”
She said, in front of Erqing, she cast a spell and hooked up the netherworld.
Erqing opened his eyebrows and wrote down the spell that summoned the netherworld.
After a short time, I saw that the world suddenly darkened, and the wind howled on the surface of Jinghu Lake, like a ghost crying wolf. Suddenly, a portal appeared out of thin air above the Mirror Lake. The portal, a hundred feet high, arched, like the ancient city gate, its material is unknown, and ancient inscriptions are engraved around it.
The next moment, the door on the portal opened silently, and the ghost qi gushed out from it, with a sense of cold and decay. This makes it look like it's not much different from the Netherlands.
Immediately after, a pair of bull-headed horses walked out of the portal.
The pair of bull-headed horses looked at Yang Chan, the Three Holy Princesses who were casting spells with both hands, and knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Humble to meet the Three Holy Princesses." ”
When they looked up at Er Qing and Da Bai, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Er Qing felt this surprise, and at the same time remembered that at the foot of Daqing Mountain, he and Da Bai shot to kill the big rat, and the soul envoy who appeared seemed to be the bull head and horse face.
"I've seen General Cen!"
"We, we've met?"
Erqing looked at the pair of bulls and horses, a little unsure.
After all, he didn't dare to use his divine sense to spy on these two at will.
"More than 100 years ago, I had the privilege of meeting General Cen, but I never thought that General Cen could still remember his humble position, and I was deeply honored to be humble and humble!" Ma Mian hugged his fists and bowed his hand towards Erqing.
Sure enough, it's them!
Erqing smiled and sighed secretly.
Is the world too small?
Erqing shook his head and handed over the man-eating flower fairy spirit in his hand.
"It's a man-eating flower elf, and after destroying its body, I fear that it will repossess the sea of flowers and be reborn in order to get it out of there. But Ben General didn't want to really beat him to pieces, so he had to trouble the two of them!"
"Don't bother! don't bother......" Ma Mian took the flower fairy spirit and said with a smile: "This is a matter for the two of them, and it is also the general's mercy." Otherwise, this little flower demon, how can he be able to let the princess and the general personally summon us and others! ”
Compared with the wooden face of the bull's head, this horse face is much smoother.
It didn't take long for the pair to say goodbye.
Then, the Yin Qi and Ghost Qi shrank back towards the portal, and the portal gradually disappeared. The yin wind dissipated, and this Fang Tianyu also returned to clarity, as if everything just now had not happened.
Erqing took advantage of the fact that he raised his eyebrows and had already memorized this spell to connect the netherworld.
After a long time, he asked, "Are there many bulls and horses in this netherworld?"
Yang Chan looked at him a little strangely and said, "You don't know much about the Netherworld!"
Erqing nodded and said, "It's really not much! I heard that the Netherworld is the land of the Emperor Xudu, and later I heard that the person in charge of the underworld is the Ten Great Yamas. Emperor Xudu, it should belong to the Daomen, right! Doesn't it mean that the Netherworld Mansion has been managed by the Buddhism?"
Yang Chan looked at Er Qing amusedly, and found that Da Bai also looked ignorant and curious, so he explained, "This is not difficult to understand, first of all, you have to distinguish the difference between the Netherworld and the Netherworld." The Netherworld is very vast, it is like our Southern Ganbu Continent, there are many such and such yin ghosts living there, and these are under the jurisdiction of Emperor Xudu. Just like the emperor of the world, ruling the people of the Eight Desolations. ”
When Erqing heard this, he immediately reacted and said, "What does the princess mean is that the Netherworld Mansion is out of the jurisdiction of the Emperor Xudu and has its own family, in charge of the cycle of life and death, and is used by the Buddhist sect?"
Yang Chan nodded and said, "This is not a secret, all the Heavenly Immortals and Buddhas are aware of this matter." At the beginning, Buddhism wanted to use the underworld to control the six realms of life and death and spread the good way. Although its form is different from that of Taoism, its purpose is also to teach people to be good, and Taoism does not exclude this matter. ”
"However, it is impossible for the Dao Gate to give up the entire Netherlands. Therefore, the Netherworld is distinguished from the Netherworld. The Netherworld Emperor controls the Netherlands and rules over all the ghosts and shadows in the Netherlands. And the Netherworld Mansion is in charge of the six realms of life and death. Of course, the Netherworld Mansion was still under the orders of the Heavenly Court, and the Ten Great Yamas were also sealed by that person. ”
Erqing bowed slightly, understanding who she was referring to.
Yang Chan glanced at him and said, "Don't underestimate the strength of the Netherworld." There are ten Yan monarchs on the surface of the underworld, and there are two judges around the ten Yan monarchs, a pair of black and white impermanence. Under the two judges, there are officials from various departments...... The bull head and horse face are just the leaders of the various departments. ”
Erqing nodded and said, "Then, the strength in the secret of the underworld is those Vajra or Bodhisattvas of Buddhism!"
Yang Chan nodded and said, "The Ten Monarchs of the Netherworld Mansion are nominally in charge of the Underworld, but in fact they are just clerks. The real controller of the underworld has always been the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, who sits in the eighteenth layer of hell. Its cultivation is strong, not much worse than Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Erqing thought for a while, and finally asked, "Why did the Daomen cooperate with the Buddhism in the first place? Is it because the purpose of the Buddhism is also to guide people to goodness?"
Yang Chan shook her head and said, "I don't know what the reason is." Even those who know about this matter are estimated to be the only ones. On the bright side, it is indeed because the purpose and goal of Buddhism and Taoism are the same in this matter, so the Netherworld Emperor gave up the underworld and delegated power to Buddhism!"
Erqing nodded and didn't ask again.
In fact, this kind of thing, he knows that it is useless, at most it is just to satisfy the raging fire of gossip.
"By the way, does the princess recognize this?"
Er Qing said, taking out the jade bottle from the Qiankun bag.
