Chapter 181: Jizo Bodhisattva
In the period when the saints had not fallen and the gods and Buddhas were still alive, although the Jizo King Bodhisattva had a noble status, he was just an ordinary Bodhisattva who was a member of Buddhism. His status is not noble or humble.
is strong, but because he is trapped in the netherworld, he is almost immortal and difficult to get out.
There is good in the world, there is evil, and people's hearts are very fickle, maybe one moment is still a good person, and the next moment he has done a heinous thing. So much so, unless the flood is shattered, or the Pangu Great World is reborn and the heavens and the earth are created, otherwise, hell will not be empty after all.
But he himself is not a saint, so that it is difficult for him to survive the catastrophe, whether it is the destruction of the flood or the rebirth.
When the Buddha and Taoism competed for the resources of the netherworld, he was just an ordinary bodhisattva, and he made a vow half-forced, if he was asked to choose again, he would rather be punished for disobeying the Buddha's decree than bearing the despair of eternal life.
While his inner thoughts were continuing, another group of souls who had been tortured in hell were brought before him.
Looking at the groups of dull-eyed souls, King Jizo's face was sad and joyless. His body suddenly bloomed with a dazzling light, shining on the body of every soul.
His figure became majestic in an instant, and his mouth bloomed with lotus flowers, and the sky fell wildly. What a magical wonderland.
Those souls that had been glazed back regained a trace of vitality, and their knees slowly fell to the ground, prostrate on the ground, and praised in their mouths: "My Buddha is compassionate, Bodhisattva is compassionate." ”
After purifying the sins and evil thoughts in their bodies, the Bodhisattva of the Earth King waved his hand and said, "Go, drink the Meng Po soup, walk in the animal path for a while in the next life, completely forgive your sins, and then become a human again!"
As soon as his compassionate words fell, a young man suddenly gritted his teeth and rushed to the front of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva, saying: "The Buddha and Bodhisattva are merciful, the little man usually does good deeds in life, and asks himself if he has never had evil thoughts or made mistakes. It was only because of a moment of grief and indignation that he hanged himself. Now that he has been punished in hell for nothing, how can he do it again?"
As soon as his words fell, the Jizo King Bodhisattva sighed, and then slowly spoke: "Dying in hell in vain only repaid your soft sins, and there is also the crime of unfilial piety, the crime of murder has not been repaid, and it is still good to read in front of you, so it is only punished for reincarnation as a lifetime of animals, how can you be wronged?"
"Unfilial piety, murder?" The young man immediately shuddered, and then the courage came from nowhere, and he actually looked up at the Jizo King Bodhisattva, only to see that he had a solemn appearance and a smile. It seems to be amiable, but at this moment, he feels that he is not as merciful as he is rumored.
"Your parents were great and good people who sacrificed their lives for righteousness in their previous lives, and they only have you in this life. They should not have children in their fate, only because they do more good deeds, so they have to send a matchmaker to send a child, originally for their old age, but they don't want to die for a trivial matter, so it is for unfilial piety. ”
Before the young man could speak, and before the Bodhisattva of the Earth King had spoken, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the sky: "Your parents who are exposed to your body are easy to abandon themselves, and hanging yourself is suicide, and killing is a sin." Boy, if you don't want to devote yourself to the animal path, it is better to join my asura, and serve in the netherworld in the future, and you will be spared the suffering of reincarnation in one lifetime. ”
As soon as the voice fell, the young man suddenly seemed to be caught in the cold ice that had not melted for ten thousand years, and he did not dare to raise his head and retreat to the side.
Haozhuang and the Styx Ancestor came together and fell behind the Bodhisattva, the king of the earth. Haozhuang slowly stepped forward and looked at the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and then said: "When the extraterritorial angel clan invaded the Pangu world, I was also a quasi-saint cultivator, at that time, all the gods of war in the heavens fell, and I was the only one who survived, and when I sent them back to the past life, I also had some friendship with the Bodhisattva!
As soon as his words fell, the King of the Earth Bodhisattva bowed, and then said: "I don't know how many yuan I have spent in the underworld, and I don't know how many times. Every day I repeat the same things of today, and every day I have to face this young soul!"
As soon as his words fell, he suddenly pointed at the young man and said, "This person has been reincarnated a total of 564 times, of which more than 300 times have done good deeds and accumulated virtues, but more than 200 times have done many evils. And now he has died in vain because of his anger and evil heart."
Haozhuang's brows furrowed, and then he asked, "In this way, what does it have to do with your temptation to the heavenly court and your bad intentions?"
As soon as his words fell, the Bodhisattva of the Earth King said coldly: "There are thirty-three heavens in the heavenly realm, which is enough to accommodate the entire desolation and the people of the Netherworld. If I can control the immortal realm, I will send all those good souls to heaven, and as time passes, there will be fewer and fewer mortals in the desolate realm, and in the end, there will be fewer and fewer evildoers, and hell will eventually be vacated one day, and when the time comes, this seat will become a Buddha and become holy, and leave this ghost place forever!"
Haozhuang's body immediately trembled, he was from the heavenly realm, how could he not know the situation in the white court. Thirty-three heavens, each of which is the size of a continent in the earth immortal realm, if the heavenly court is really used to accommodate the people of the desolation, perhaps, the idea of the king of the earth can really be realized.
However, he finally forgot one thing, that is, where there are people, there is strife, and even if those people become gods, their essence will not change much.
Haozhuang has been in the heavenly court for a long time, just the guards in the Heavenly Master Palace, because of the violation of the heavenly rules, I don't know how many have been demoted to the mortal world, in addition, even if the king of the earth is in control of the heavenly court for a while, but the lord of the heavenly court, or those great gods who have gone out in the heavenly court have returned, especially those reincarnated saints have returned, I'm afraid
Haozhuang believed that the Jizo King Bodhisattva might have thought of these things a long time ago, and he had already had a way to deal with them, but he didn't ask again, because, from the moment he returned to the Flood Desolation Realm, all the conspiracies and calculations of the Jizo King Bodhisattva had lost their effect.
After all, whether it is Haozhuang or Taishang, or primitive, they are all inextricably linked with Heavenly Court.
The Jizo King Bodhisattva also seemed to have been disheartened, and stayed there without saying a word, quietly looking at Haozhuang and Styx.
He has surpassed the soul of the dead, I don't know how much merit he has obtained, although Haozhuang and Styx are strong, but after all, he is helpless to be blessed by heaven! )
