Poor monk cultivates a way

Chapter 553 Chapter 553
Shangguan Wudi continued to persuade: "For endless years, Dingjue Tathagata has led Buddhist masters to fight against the Beginless Demon Lord in all parts of the universe, suppressing the demonic nature, and was unable to clean up the Nine Nether World. It’s a signal! Once the Buddhist sect enters the Nine Nether World, my Nine Nether Ghost Sect will still be able to escape to the Yang world, so can the two ghost kings give up the Dao and escape for their lives?”

The two ghost kings were finally moved by the last sentence, and the tormenting ghost king said: "The magic is over, and we are also ashamed! It is the best to join hands with Shangguan Taoist friends!"

Shangguan Wudi was overjoyed and said: "The two ghost kings are willing to join forces with you, it is really the luck of the Nine Nether World!"

Zaotian Ghost King shouted: "The Nine Nether World has its own law! We, the Ghost King, were born innately, inheriting the original power of the Dao, and we shall be the Lord of the Nine Nether! Buddhism knows no good or evil, and intervenes to disrupt reincarnation. How can we tolerate it! "

Shangguan Wudi and the two ghost kings became more and more excited as they talked, and when they were about to make an alliance with blood, Shangguan Wudi frowned, having received Gou Shushu's request for help, he thought: "Gou Shushu just went to the world, why did he come to ask for help? The machine has been prepared for a long time, and ambushes secretly?"

It was rare that the two ghost kings were in high spirits, Shangguan Wudi was unwilling to leave hastily, and ignored Gou Shushu for the time being, and said: "Since the two ghost kings have formed an alliance with this subordinate, there is still one thing to ask!"

Zaotian Ghost King said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Shangguan Wudi said a few words, the expressions of the two ghost kings changed, Zaotian ghost king said: "Are you sure about this matter?"

Shangguan Wudi said: "It's a matter of life and death, I have to do it!"

The tormenting ghost king pondered for a moment, and said: "Okay! I agree with Zaotian on this matter! Just do what you want!"

Shangguan Wudi was overjoyed and said: "With the help of two ghost kings, the event will be accomplished!" Then he took his leave and left.

As soon as Shangguan Wudi left, Zaotian Guiwang said: "That guy has other plans, and treats you and me as thugs who don't want money!"

The tormenting ghost king said: "I think Shangguan's invincible words are good. If he comes forward to restrain the Buddhist sect, my life will be easier!"

Zaotian Ghost King said: "Aren't you afraid that that guy will bite back?"

The tormented ghost king said with a sinister smile: "Even if that guy succeeds, he can't beat us. What are you afraid of him doing? How can a mere acquired being outwit me?"

Zaotian Guiwang said: "Among the four of us, I am the only one who has never been scheming. It seems that the leader is Shenmiao, but in fact you are more scheming than that guy! How do you plan Shangguan Wudi, just say it!"

The tormented ghost king said: "It's useless to talk about it now, let's wait until the day when Shangguan Wudi activates it!"

Zaotian Ghost King snorted, and said: "Pretending to be a ghost!" After a pause, he continued: "Even if Shangguan is invincible, it will not help. Don't forget that apart from Dingju Tathagata, there is more than one great Bodhisattva in Buddhism!"

The Toxic Ghost King sneered and said, "It doesn't matter whether he is the Four Great Bodhisattvas or the Eight Great Bodhisattvas! It's not the same as being restrained by the Beginless Demon Lord? But what you said is right, so I have already thought of a countermeasure!"

Zaotian Ghost King hurriedly asked: "What countermeasure?"

The tormenting ghost king said: "Do you know that in the Nine Nether Worlds, there are only four hells and four ghost kings?"

Zaotian Ghost King said: "Of course not! Even the merit scriptures passed down by the great Bodhisattva say that Jiuyou is a hell, with [-] floors in total, how can there be only four?" The Merit Sutra has been spread all over the four hells, even King Zaotian Ghost has read it.

The tormented ghost king said: "That's right! Since there are eighteen levels of hell, there must be other ghost kings! I use my soul to travel the void and explore other hells. As long as I find a few comrades to join forces, Buddhism will not be a problem!"

Zaotian Ghost King said happily: "This plan is great! I will help you find a new hell!" The world of the Nine Nethers is vast and boundless, opposite to the Yang world. Since the Buddhist scriptures say that there are [-] hells, the two ghost kings believe it, as long as they can find it. In the new hell, if you win over the ghost king to form an alliance, you will not be afraid of the erosion of Buddhism.

The two ghost kings silently mobilized their primordial spirits and searched the void.

Shangguan Wudi tore through the void, looking for Gou Shushu's trace.There is a secret method of communication between the Jiuyou ghost gate and the same gate. When he noticed that Gou Shushu was running in the void between the two hells, he rushed there immediately.

Gou Shushu was forced by the Buddha's light to have no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. While he was at a loss, Shangguan Wudi finally came, and exclaimed with great joy, "Master!"

Shangguan Wudi saw the immeasurable Buddha's light erupting behind him from a distance, secretly awe-inspiring, shouted: "Where is Qi Ze!"

Gou Shushu shouted: "That guy is very slippery. Seeing that the situation is not good, he fled into the Nine Nether World first, and called the Buddhist Bodhisattva to help him. I couldn't resist the enemy, so I had to run for my life!"

Shangguan Wudi cursed inwardly as a waste, but he had no choice but to save him. After all, longevity is rare. Immediately, he pointed with his finger, and a river of yellow spring flew up, amidst the turbulent stream, to meet the Buddha's light, and shouted: "You go first! I will resist it!" !"

Gou Shushu didn't dare to stay, and shouted: "Teacher, take care!" and fled to the main altar of Jiuyou Ghost Sect without a trace.

Shangguan Zhan didn't dare to stay for long, he shouted: "Father, be careful!" He followed Gou Shushu and fled for his life.

Shangguan Wudi controlled the boundless yellow spring, fought hard against the Buddha's light, and shouted: "Why do Bodhisattvas bully people too much!"

A golden body of Bodhisattva appeared in the Buddha's light, wearing a Buddha crown, cassock, holding a tin staff, and stepping on a lotus platform. It is the phantom of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva said: "Qi Ze is a monk of my Buddhist sect. If your elders attack him, the poor monk can't stand by and watch! Master Shangguan, you must give an explanation to my Buddhist sect for this matter!"

Shangguan Wudi had a terrible headache. He ordered Gou Shushu to capture Qi Ze. He did not intend to do anything wrong. As long as Qi Ze was imprisoned in the Nine Nether Ghost Sect, he could negotiate with Buddhism and win countless benefits. Unfortunately, Gou Shushu fell short and even attracted this bodhisattva's revenge.

Shangguan Wudi deliberately surprised and said: "There is such a thing? That Gou Shushu is so brave! How dare he attack Qi Ze? Doesn't he know that Qi Ze is a very popular figure in Buddhism, and he is expected to become an Arhat? Don't worry, Bodhisattva, after I go back, Definitely deal with Gou Shushu according to the rules of the sect, and make him go to the seat of the Bodhisattva to plead guilty!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "Buddhism does not tell lies. Master Shangguan, you are a person in the way of demons. You can do things according to your own will. You know whether Gou Shushu will follow your order or make up your own mind. Qi Ze has great merit in Buddhism. Dingjue Tathagata appreciates it very much, this poor monk must give him an explanation!"

Shangguan Wudi even had a headache, and said with a wry smile: "Could it be that even Dingjue Tathagata has paid attention to that Qi Ze? That kid is lucky in three lives! Since the Bodhisattva insists on me to give an explanation, I have no choice but to boldly ask the Bodhisattva for Buddhist supernatural powers!"

Shangguan Wudi is extremely unwilling to fight the Great Bodhisattva, but when the situation is revealed, Gou Shushu's life must be saved, otherwise, who in the Nine Nether Ghost Sect would dare to sacrifice their lives for him?I had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with the Great Bodhisattva.

Qi Ze's dharma body spouted two mouthfuls of golden true energy, but was wounded five times and seven times by Gou Shushu's Yinhe supernatural power. Fortunately, the Great Bodhisattva has appeared and temporarily escaped from danger.

He saw a ghost king with indigo skin color, full of fangs, ten feet tall, manifested in front of his eyes. It was the ghost king Yaksha, followed by the demon monk.

Seeing that Qi Ze was seriously injured and dying, the ghost king said: "Layman, I am ordered by the Bodhisattva to take you into hell to heal your wounds!"

Qi Ze put his Dharma body together and said, "Thank you, ghost king!" After eating that ghost king, a will-o'-the-wisp turned, and the sky and the earth spun, and he came to a hell. It is Avici Hell.

The Yaksha Ghost King also appeared and said: "Since Shenmiao was suppressed by Dingjue Tathagata, the Great Bodhisattva has used Avici Hell as a place of practice, saying that the evil ghosts in this hell are the most sinful, and they must always be saved by Buddha's teachings!"

The demon monk asked Qi Ze, "How is your injury?"

Qi Ze said: "I took a scan of Gou Shushu's Yinhe supernatural power, even though it was counteracted by the Buddha Fire Heart Lamp, the foundation has been shaken, even if there is no danger of life, it will take a while to recuperate!"

The ghost king Yaocha snorted secretly, and thought: "The demon monk wants to please the Buddha, so he doesn't take this ghost king seriously! How can this ghost king do what he wants!" He hurriedly smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, I will After many years of fierce fighting between the Ghost King and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect, he is fully aware of his supernatural powers, so what is the mere Yinhe supernatural power? As long as this ghost king makes a move, he will be cured of his illness!"

The demon monk secretly sneered: "It's a shame that you are still a majestic innate ghost king! Showing such a face is really detrimental to the ghost king's image!"

The ghost king Yaocha twisted his body, pushed the demon monk aside, and said with a smile, "Come on! This ghost king will heal your wounds himself! Haha!"

Qi Ze naturally had nothing to do, and he hoped to recover from his injury sooner and return to the mortal world to save the Taiyin sect from disaster.

The demon monk only hated his family's lack of mana and could not heal Qi Ze's injury, so he turned his head and sulked secretly.

While healing his wounds, he suddenly felt the void vibrating, and even Avici Hell felt the vibration.Yasha Ghost King Yun looked over and said, "It's the Great Bodhisattva fighting against Shangguan Wudi!"

The demon monk excitedly said: "The Great Bodhisattva will fight in person, and Shangguan Wudi will definitely be defeated! The Nine Nether Ghost Sect has been entrenched in the Nine Nether World for many years, endangering reincarnation, and this time it can also be uprooted!"

Qi Ze said: "The Great Bodhisattva is merciful, even if he is a Chanti person, his karma is boundless, he falls into the great hell, and he can't get it out, he will save him, let alone the invincible Shangguan? He will never kill him, he will only kill him." expulsion."

The Yaocha ghost king and the demon monk looked at each other, and the ghost king said: "Buddhism is not very easy on this point, this ghost king is always happy to be kind and friendly, kill as soon as you say, how can there be so much nonsense!"

The demon monk also thought this way, saying: "There are too many rules in Buddhism, how can it be as refreshing as the joyful kindness and hatred!"

Qi Ze said: "Although there are many precepts in Buddhism, as long as you strictly abide by the precepts, you will not accumulate karma. One life is not enough. In the next life, you will accumulate and accumulate life after life. The greater the merit and the less karma, there will always be a day when you become a Buddha. As you wish Resentment and enmity seem to be straightforward, but they are only for a moment, and there is always karma with them, and sooner or later the retribution will come, so be careful!"

The ghost king of Yaksha and the demon monk were awe-inspiring. They had been practicing Buddhism with the Great Bodhisattva these days, and had deeply understood the essence of Buddhism. Knowing that what Qi Ze said was true, they immediately stopped gloating, and said together: "Sin! Sin !"

Half a day later, the ghost king Yaksha took great care of him, and Qi Ze's injury from the Yinhe supernatural power was no longer a problem. There were occasional vibrations in the void outside Abi Hell. I want to know the outcome of the battle between the Great Bodhisattva and Shangguan Wudi.

Suddenly the Buddha's light flickered, and the golden body of the great Bodhisattva stepped out, holding a tin staff, with a calm demeanor.

Qi Ze, Yaocha Ghost King and the Demon Monk hurriedly put their palms together and saluted, and the Bodhisattva also made another salute, saying: "How is the layman's injury?"

Qi Ze said: "Thanks to the great blessings of Bodhisattva, the ghost king Yaksha took care of me, and my disciple is no longer in trouble."

The great Bodhisattva said, "That's good!"

The demon monk felt itchy, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the Bodhisattva, what will happen to Shangguan Wudi?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "I injured him with Buddha's light, and now Shangguan Wudi has fled back to Jiuyou Ghost Gate to heal his wounds."

The demon monk said: "So that's it!" Feeling very disappointed in his heart, he thought: "Buddhism is just ink, it's better to beat Shangguan Wudi to death with one move, and save a lot of trouble!"

Qi Ze joined hands and said: "The disciple was killed by Gou Shushu and had to flee to the Nine Nether World. Thanks to Bodhisattva for rescue, I wonder what happened to Mei Nianxue?"

The great Bodhisattva only turned the light of the Buddha, and an upasyi came out of it, it was Mei Nianxue, with a kind face, he folded his palms together and said: "I am sorry to ask you, the little girl has already awakened, and she knows that today is not yesterday. , determined to convert to Buddhism!"

Qi Ze folded his palms together to return the gift, and said joyfully, "This is certainly excellent!"

Mei Nianxue nodded, turned around and walked into the Buddha's light to disappear.Enlightened by the Great Bodhisattva, he thoroughly realized right and wrong, and finally decided to convert to Buddhism and no longer associate with Wancheng Longjun.

Qi Ze was really happy, Mei Nianxue converted to Buddhism, Wan Chenglong Lord lost an arm, it was the best, and said to the great Bodhisattva: "The disciple returns to his heart like an arrow, please allow the Bodhisattva to return to the world!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "The last time I went to see the Buddha in Dingjue Tathagata's kingdom, the Tathagata praised the lay people very much!"

Qi Ze said: "If the opportunity is ripe, the disciple should go to the Buddhist country and pay homage to the Tathagata in person!" Buddhism talks about chance the most, Qi Ze has long had the heart to see the Tathagata, but unfortunately the opportunity is not yet ripe, so he can only wait and wait.
The great Bodhisattva said: "It's rare for a layman to come here. I'm about to teach the Dharma for all beings in hell, so that they can all be liberated, so I invite laymen to listen to the Dharma together!"

Qi Ze's heart moved, since the great Bodhisattva said so, there must be a reason, and he immediately said: "The Bodhisattva speaks, the disciple must listen carefully, how can I miss it!" He immediately sat cross-legged and waited for the Bodhisattva to speak.

The ghost king of Yaksha and the demon monk heard that the Bodhisattva was going to speak for the sentient beings in hell, and they were extremely dignified. They sat in lotus position and listened reverently.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva immediately ascended to the Dharma seat and sat on the nine-pin lotus platform. The French swastika on his chest bloomed with infinite Buddha light. The swastika is a sign of auspiciousness in Buddhism and one of the 32 Buddha faces, representing the supreme and profound prajna wisdom.

In an instant, the immeasurable Buddha's light shines everywhere in Avici Hell, and it illuminates the immeasurable space itself.
The two ghost kings, Tudu and Zaotian, were using their primordial spirits to search for various hells hidden in the void.
