The Great Desolate Stygian River

Chapter 89

After the Tathagata Buddha has been in charge of Buddhism for thousands of years, with the help of the luck of Buddhism and the help of the golden lotus of nine grades of merit bestowed by Amitabha Buddha, the Tathagata beheaded the corpse to reach the middle stage of quasi-sage; Early quasi-sages; Peacock Daming King, Wu Yun, Dari Tathagata, Dashizhi, Pharmacist, and Maitreya all advanced to the early quasi-sages, and the rest of them, such as Fear Liusun and Puxian, were all at the peak of Daluo Jinxian.

At this time, on the bright side of Buddhism, one quasi-sage was in the middle stage, seven quasi-sages were in the early stage, and there were countless Daluo Jinxians. At this time, Buddhism was in full swing, and Buddhist temples were everywhere in Hezhou, Xiniu. Every family worshiped Buddha and chanted scriptures every day. There are also Buddhist temples in nearly half of Zhanbuzhou, even if the three religions of Taoism were combined, they are not half as powerful as Buddhism at this time.

At this time, Zhenjiao Taiyi real person changed his name to Taiyi Save Ku Tianzun and entered the heavenly court, and was named Dongji Qinghua Emperor by the Jade Emperor.

Yuanshi Tianzun invited Zhen Yuanzi to Yuqingtian to discuss Taoism, and the saint called him. Zhenyuanzi attached great importance to it. He prepared more than a dozen ginseng fruits and led Fengqi into Yuqingtian.

On the other side, seeing that Zhen Yuanzi had come out of the prehistoric times, the Second Saints of the West called a monk over, and saw that this man was wearing a golden cassock, with red lips and white teeth, a solemn face, and a compassionate face.When he got close, he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Dizang has seen a saint."

This person is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.

Zhun asked: "Ksitigarbha, although you were born as an Asura, you don't like swordsmanship and hate killing. You once wished to save all living beings from the sea of ​​suffering, so that those who are brave, fierce, violent and cruel can also be liberated, and they can be reborn in a pure land of immeasurable light. Now I ask you, is it still the same?"

Ksitigarbha bowed solemnly to the two sages and said, "I will not change my infatuation, and it will remain the same."

Zhunti nodded in satisfaction: "So, go ahead." He stretched out his hand, and Jizo disappeared in an instant.

When Ksitigarbha reappeared, he came to a dark and haunted place. Ksitigarbha knew that this was the underworld, so he found a mountain range near the gate of ghosts, named Yinshan. This place is the residence of ghosts who will not fall into the cycle .

When Ksitigarbha came to the top of the mountain, he appeared in a golden body with the image of Dharma. He saw the golden light bursting out, and the sound of the Buddha burst out. A thousand-foot Bodhisattva appeared in the underworld. Seeing this Buddha made a big wish: "I am Ksitigarbha, hell is not empty, I swear that I will not become a Buddha, and all living beings will be saved before I can prove Bodhi!" In an instant, a golden light of merit and virtue penetrated the prehistoric land and shot into the underworld. Climbing steadily, directly reaching the peak of Daluo Jinxian.

Another roar of the beast came from the sky. The divine beast listened carefully and felt Ksitigarbha's great will, great compassion, and great perseverance, and voluntarily took refuge for its encouragement.

Ksitigarbha then settled down in the Yin Mountain, the Buddha's light permeated the sun and chanted scriptures, the Buddha's light and Buddha's voice enveloped thousands of miles, and the gate of ghosts was also within the range. Countless ghost cultivators and asuras were saved and entered the Buddhist gate. More than ten thousand people left, and a steady stream of creatures from the underworld were compiled into the yakshas and asuras in the eight divisions of Tianlong by Tathagata to protect the Dharma of Buddhism.

Buddhism's sudden intervention in the underworld will definitely cause dissatisfaction. On this day, Asura King Bo Xun led the Demon King and others to the Yin Mountain. Princess Ashura, it’s all right to switch to Buddhism, why do you want to come back to confuse everyone to become a Buddha? Because of your reckless behavior, the order of the underworld has been disrupted, what should you do?"

Ksitigarbha stopped chanting helplessly and said: "I vow to help all sentient beings in the six realms before I wish to become a Buddha. Asura always has a heart of hatred, a persistent will to fight, practice precepts and give, and hate the karma of jealousy and flattery. Blessings are like the heavens but without the virtues of the heavens, and they are not truly benevolent in the end. If you don’t enter my Buddhist gate, you will be reborn in the Western Paradise, free from evil words and pain, and enjoy peace and happiness forever from the sea of ​​suffering.”

Bo Xun was furious: "This is what your family said. You think that all living beings are suffering, but why don't all living beings enjoy it? Don't you hear that my son is not me, so you know my happiness. You have wishful thinking and reckless actions, and you have created boundless things. Sins, stop now, return to Buddhism, and send back the people you forced yourself to bewitch, otherwise, I will definitely not have sex with you!" Saying this, he took out the Asura Hell Scythe, and all the Asuras also sacrificed it. Weapons, as soon as Dizang said no, the traitors in the clan would be cleaned up.

Ksitigarbha shook his head: "The way of liberation lies ahead, but people are willing to stay in the sea of ​​suffering. There is no fool like this. I will not go, and I will not stop. I will dedicate myself to help all living beings escape from the sea of ​​suffering." Ksitigarbha looked compassionate. He closed his eyes again and continued to chant sutras.

It is understandable that Bo Xun was furious by the angry three corpse gods. You were living a good life, and suddenly someone appeared and told you with pity that you are suffering now. Everything you have is illusory and should be abandoned. The key is Regardless of your refusal, forcefully destroy everything you own, forcefully throw it into a temple to shave you, let you have as few desires in the future, eat fast and chant Buddha, and then tell you that you are liberated, completely disregarding your own wishes And ideas, certainly no one is happy.

"I've never seen such a brazen and self-righteous person!" After finishing speaking, Bo Xun raised his sickle and charged forward, and the rest of the Asuras quickly followed.Ksitigarbha hurriedly put away the converts, and showed his golden body to resist the attacks of the crowd.

The method of the golden body is a method created by Zhunti Buddha's mother to solve the problem of the scarcity of spiritual treasures in the West. The golden body is condensed with the power of incense and fire, which can be attacked and defended. The same method as the relics created can be used to cut corpses. This greatly speeds up the chances of Buddhists becoming quasi-sages, and it is also the reason why Buddhism attaches great importance to preaching.

Bo Xun has served in the Heavenly Court for so many years, and he has reached the peak of Da Luo Jinxian. The other demon kings are also in the middle and late stage of Da Luo Jinxian. Dizang was besieged by people with almost the same cultivation level, and he soon became a little helpless. There were cracks on Jin's body. It seemed that it was about to be shattered at any time, but Ksitigarbha still persisted and did not run away.

Just after Bo Xun cut another crack in Jizo's golden body with a single knife, Jizo spat out blood, put away the golden body and retreated for several miles, but still did not leave.

Immediately, the Asuras knew why Ji Zang could not go away. Behind Ji Zang, suddenly there appeared overwhelming Buddha light illuminating the heaven and earth. Ghosts, ghosts, and asuras were enlightened by Buddha and converted to Buddhism.

When the light of the Buddha turned dark, Bo Xun was startled. He saw countless Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, monks, Vajras, Arhats, and eight tribes overwhelming the sky.

In such a big scene, as the titular master of the underworld, Emperor Fengdu appeared quickly, and everyone from Blood God Palace, Shidian Yan Luo and others also appeared on the scene.Ping Xin was about to leave the Ping Xin Hall, but when he got to the door, he was stopped by a force, and Hong Jun's voice came from his ear: "A sage does not enter the prehistoric world." Ping Xin's pretty face flushed red , hurriedly returned to the small world, but found that Styx couldn’t wake up no matter how he called, and he could only watch, unable to do anything. He hurriedly sent a message to Zhen Yuanzi, but found that Zhen Yuanzi seemed to have disappeared. I couldn't find it, so I had to call Xing Tian and Jiu Feng for help.

At this time, I heard Pan Wang's voice transmission in my ear: "Don't panic, I'm here to help." Everyone needs a place to stay and someone to protect them."

King Pan understood what Ping Xin meant, so he stopped and only worried about the situation on the underworld.

And all the great powers of Honghuang are paying attention to the progress of the war in the underworld.

Only Yu Qingtian was covered up by Yuanshi Tianzun, making Zhen Yuanzi oblivious to the affairs of the underworld.
