1268--Andrew True and False Ksitigarbha

In the Great Wish Realm, many Buddhist Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are trapped in it. Except for the scripture-taking team, only Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva among the Four Great Bodhisattvas are missing.

This is missing, there are two situations.

One is good. Avalokitesvara and Ksitigarbha got rid of the restrictions of the Great Wish Realm, and are currently acting secretly in their free bodies, planning to save the gods and Buddhas.

The other kind is hard to talk about. They take refuge in demons and become minions, and they will not stay in the world of ambition.

Fortunately, the possibility of the latter is unlikely. If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had surrendered early, then there would be no such tug-of-war contests in the current underworld. The leader of the Nether world is in charge of the Nether Yin Division, so how could Yama of the Ten Temples have a chance to resist?
Therefore, when this Bodhisattva appeared, calmed the river of blood, stabilized the six realms, and showed the extremely familiar aura, King Qin Guang's tone trembled, and there was doubt in his expression, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

The main reason is that the other party came too suddenly...

If he could get away, why didn't he show up until now?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gave an explanation: "I have rebuilt my golden body, and I have not returned until now. Fortunately, you Lord Yan are in charge, so that the underworld will not be stolen by demons!"

"I see!"

King Qin Guang didn't believe it, but felt the gentle and pure Buddha's light, as if he had returned to the period when he was protected by the Lord of the Nether world thousands of years ago.

After the heaven and earth changed, the Buddhist golden body was filthy, which even the Buddha could hardly accept.

Not only because the golden body is related to supernatural powers, but also because the golden body is the fruit position, which is every Buddha's understanding and pursuit of Buddhism. If the golden body is destroyed, the future will be dark, and no matter how bright it is, it will be difficult to save all living beings.

Now that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva returns with a remodeled golden body, it not only reverses the situation in the Nether Yin Division, but also means that other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also have hope. How can you not be happy?

"If that's the case, it's a good thing, I'm afraid there will be no joy!"

Li Yan looked at this Great Wish Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha who had gone and returned, but he had another judgment in his heart.

The realm of the seventh consciousness has reached his level, which is the most suitable for fighting against the current filthy environment. Even if the four great bodhisattvas return to their peak state, they will at most stand up to each other, and most of them are not as good, let alone the returned Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is very weak.

It's really weak.

Just now, the Six Paths were unstable, and the sea of ​​blood was turbulent. It seemed to be powerful and dangerous, but with Li Yan's realm, he could see at a glance that he was a bit strong but capable.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is not a person in the underworld, nor is he a ghost, but with his own strength, he can easily suppress it, let alone Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

If the opponent didn't have deep hidden strength, Li Yan could also suppress it with his backhand just based on the aura shown by the current golden body, which is really not worthy of being called the Four Great Bodhisattvas.

However, although the other party's golden body is weak, it is indeed pure Buddha's light. Only when all sentient beings are rescued can they prove the power of Bodhi's compassionate vows.

So either this is indeed the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but too many things have happened recently, so he is unavoidably suspicious, or he has met someone like a six-eared macaque, who can disguise seamlessly.

"Since you dare to appear in front of you as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at this moment, you must have the confidence not to be exposed..."

"Is it real or not, Ksitigarbha? It's interesting!"

Just looking at it, King Qin Guang took the initiative to introduce: "This is Li Tianshi. Without his treatment, my brother and I are still monsters. Recently, the Yin Division was robbed, and the Tianshi is also in charge to stabilize the overall situation!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saluted: "Thank you, Tianshi Li!"

Li Yan looked calm, and returned the salute indifferently: "The heaven and the earth have changed, and all living beings in the three realms have been robbed. Saving others is also saving oneself. Bodhisattvas don't need to be polite! Now that the Cuiyun Palace is open, we might as well suppress the devil first and put an end to the chaos in the underworld." Elephant, it’s not too late to say anything else!"

King Qin Guang immediately said: "That's right, please go back to Cuiyun Palace, Master, to stabilize the Netherworld!"

This is equivalent to the secular emperor who is wandering outside, returning to the imperial city of the capital to sit in town to calm the hearts of the people. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked into the distance and landed on his dojo far away, and sighed softly: "That evil animal casts you Big mistake, let me down!"

After the words were finished, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took a step forward, blossoming golden lotuses, and strolled towards Cuiyun Palace.

King Qin Guang, King Chujiang, Emperor Song, King Wuguan and King Biancheng followed, but Li Yan took a step behind on purpose. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the tenth hall, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly turned his gaze to His sleeve: "Forgive me for being presumptuous, but is the Celestial Master refining the underworld weapon?"

Inside Li Yan's sleeve is the treasure ship of Kagura, and Xiaoqian concentrates on accumulating the spirit of the underworld ticket in her heart, even if the river of blood flows against her outside, and the ten palaces collapse, she will not be hindered.

Therefore, facing this question, Li Yan said indifferently: "It's not a ghost weapon, just try a little, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get into the eyes of the Bodhisattva."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "My heart is uneasy, and I hope the celestial master will be cautious. The underworld is in danger. If there is a little carelessness, the turmoil just now will repeat itself!"

The gods and Buddhas knew before and after, and if it happened on a whim, it would be a big event. The faces of the five kings of hell changed slightly when they heard that the Cuiyun Palace was just opened, but the celestial master did not show up. Could it be that they are really busy?
Li Yandao: "Bodhisattva, please rest assured. At this critical moment, you must be cautious in everything. What I do must be safe first, and then I will talk about other things. If there is anything wrong, I will have no face to stay in the underworld..."

These words were quite serious, Yama of the Tenth Palace had received great favors, and hurriedly said: "Why did the Heavenly Master say this, the leader is also concerned, and there is absolutely no other intention!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "Don't blame the heavenly master. I am also concerned about chaos. I am afraid that a big mistake will be made and it will be difficult to recover!"

Li Yan paused, and said with a wry smile: "I lost my composure. I think it's because the Bodhisattva returned suddenly and felt a little lost. That's why I said this. After all, my mental state is lacking in cultivation!"

At this point, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva didn't want to say much after all, and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha!"

The kings of Hades understood quite well. Before, all the gods and Buddhas still relied on him, and looked forward to him. Now that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has returned, there is a master in the underworld, and gaps are inevitable. He is so magnanimous, and he is worthy of being a celestial master.

They didn't know that during the whole process, Li Yan probed with his mind and imprinted all the emotional fluctuations in his heart.

The emotions of the five Kings of Hades are clearly visible, and they are all joy-based. King Bian Cheng, who has serious suspicions, feels relieved in his heart.

As for this relief, it is not known whether it is the peace of seeing the Nether leader's return, or the accomplice's success in pretending to be the Nether leader.

Only this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's heart is like a bottomless sea, without any fluctuations.

Just cultivating in such a state of mind is in line with the status of the four great bodhisattvas.

After a little probing, the group regained their composure and headed towards Cuiyun Palace.

In front of Cuiyun Palace, seeing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva coming, Taibai Jinxing, Xiaobailong and Bajie were extremely surprised and greeted them one after another. Knowing the cause and effect, and even seeing the remodeling of the golden body, they immediately bowed in surprise: " The return of the Bodhisattva is truly a great blessing!"

"Greetings, Old Xingjun! Bodhisattva, the Messenger of the Altar, and Bodhisattva Guangli, Eight Dragons, are polite! Thank you for your help, Nether!"

After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva returned the gift and thanked him, he came to Cuiyun Palace without hesitation, and said in a low voice towards the wide-open palace gate: "Evil barrier, don't come out yet!"

This sentence has a very high rate of appearance on the Westward Journey Road. Basically, when the gods and Buddhas drank like this, there was a monster who was majestic before, obediently rolling on the ground and turning into a mount. The gods and Buddhas floated on the mount and left. The next line of comfort is not painful: "Great Sage, hurry up and let your master go west to learn Buddhist scriptures!"

But now, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who answered was washed out by a monstrous force of karma, like a sea of ​​blood from the nine secluded worlds, baring its teeth and claws to devour the soul.

The face of the god and Buddha changed, and the golden body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also floated back, saying in a deep voice: "The underworld is unfair, and the accumulation of karma is increasing. This evil animal uses this power, no wonder it is so arrogant!"

Bajie couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Bodhisattva, what are these evil beasts in this palace?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed: "I am ashamed, I am ashamed, it is the divine beast under my Sutra case, listen carefully!"

The other five Yan Jun who got the news had already arrived. Hearing the words and thinking of the suffering of these hundreds of years, hatred could not help showing in their eyes: "I didn't expect it to be this beast!"

In order to comfort them, Li Yan once said that the person who stole the Cuiyun Palace might be disguised as a divine beast beside Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

And listen to the four major continents, the mountains and rivers, the heavens and the blessed land, and even more impressive heaven and earth, gods, men, ghosts, five immortals, scales, feathers, insects, and five insects. , because of its closeness to the Ksitigarbha King, if it wants to pretend to be the leader of the nether world, manipulate the emperor of the underworld, and manipulate the power of the underworld, there is indeed a chance to do it.

Now it seems that listening to the truth has become more popular, and even the karma of the underworld can be secretly accumulated, openly rebelling against its master, and it may not be easy to suppress it.

In view of this, Yan Luo of the Ten Halls stepped forward together: "I am willing to enter the palace with the Bodhisattva and suppress evil animals!"

"You Lords of Yan should guard the ten halls and restore tranquility. You must not be arrogant...Namo Amitabha!"

Ksitigarbha put his palms together, and the golden body once again radiated immeasurable light. Not only did lotuses grow every step of the way, but also the vast Sanskrit sound spread all over the world, making all living beings feel a shock that pointed directly at the soul.

That karma was arrogant and domineering just now, but under the suppression of the golden body Buddha light, it seemed that it also felt the threat of natural enemies, and immediately shrank back.

Under the reverent gaze of Yama of the Ten Halls, the golden body of Ksitigarbha walked towards the Cuiyun Palace step by step, although slowly, but extremely firmly, as if he was climbing up the steps to regain the throne of the Lord of the Nether.

"Wow! Now the underworld is finally back to normal!"

Xiao Bailong nodded slightly, Bajie happily clapped his hands, Taibai Jinxing frowned secretly.

Li Yan watched silently.

The current situation is really difficult to stop. For example, it is like the six-eared macaque is really replacing Wukong with a fake one to protect Tang Monk on his journey westward to learn scriptures.

There is an analysis of the chapters of the six-eared macaque in the original book, saying that the author, through the chapters before and after, implied that Sun Wukong was beaten to death by the six-eared macaque, and the monkey who learned the scriptures and became a Buddha became six-eared. This is pure nonsense. "Journey to the West" Whether the author is Wu Cheng'en or not, he has a great love for Monkey King.

You must know that the hundred chapters of Journey to the West is a fan work, and the exact name is "Journey to the West: The Legend of Shi'er". The story of Journey to the West has evolved over hundreds of years, and most of the original novel version has been lost. Some of the visible chapters can only be found in "Yongle Dadian" I found it in it, but it is certain that that version is based on Tang Seng as the protagonist. The brave and resourceful holy monk conquered demons and ghosts all the way to obtain the scriptures.

Until the Hundred Chapters, the role of the monkey began to increase significantly. At the beginning, it told the story of the trouble in the Heavenly Palace. After that, it was also an absolute protagonist throughout the journey of learning scriptures. How could such a preference be beaten to death by the six-eared macaque? ?
It's another way of saying, although it is not likely to be the author's intention, at least there are some merits.

The six-eared macaque is Wukong's second heart. The so-called "two-hearted people create disasters, and the ends of the earth cause doubts and suspicions". After all, the Tathagata asked Wukong to "kill" the six-eared macaque, and then promised to protect Tang Monk on his westward journey, and return to bliss after success, and you will sit on the lotus platform.

Although this kind of concept is a standard conspiracy theory routine, but there are some references, Li Yan now doubts whether this golden body with the same breath as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is "two hearts"?
But if this is the case, it's not easy to deal with. The original mind can directly kill the second mind. From then on, the Zen school has to learn the no-heart formula, and calmly raise the baby to conceive a holy fetus. If an outsider kills, the truth will be difficult to understand.

Especially the identity of the leader of the Netherworld is a talisman. If he is touched without proof, the hell will be completely turned upside down.

At this moment, the cuffs trembled slightly. Li Yan felt the movement inside the Kagura Treasure Ship, and said to King Qin Guang: "There is a Bodhisattva suppressing here, and the evil animals in the palace can't turn over. Just now there is a change in Naihe Sanchuan. I'm afraid the aftermath is still uncertain. I'll go there and take care of one or two."

The leader of the Netherworld has already appeared to preside over the overall situation. This person can still consider the underworld in this way. King Qin Guang is sincerely grateful: "The Heavenly Master is worried about Zhou Xiang, thank you for the great righteousness of the Heavenly Master!"

After bidding farewell to Taibai Jinxing tacitly, Li Yan returned to the Naihe Bridge with his sleeves open, and Xiaoqian appeared in front of him holding a chubby doll.

The doll was carved in pink and jade, with lively eyebrows, showing a friendly look, hugging the jet-black Yu Ruyi, and bowed down in a polite manner: "The little one pays homage to the elder, thank you for the spirit!"

Li Yan pulled up his small body, rubbed his head, and while probing his mind, he exclaimed: "It's really a good spirituality!"

It was originally a whimsical idea, but it was not expected to be realized smoothly. The power of this ghost spirit is extremely pure, and it is incomparably compatible with the Nether Yin Division.

Xiaoqian asked for credit: "Of course, this child is the god of wealth in the underworld. He can do anything that Mingpiao can do!"

Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly: "If there is such potential, it can be explained that the devil is so nervous. In terms of name, Great Wishing Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha is the former leader of the nether world. In terms of authority, he may be the future leader. Lord of the Netherworld!"
