deceiver

Chapter 333 If you listen to it, it is above the sky!
Tong Yan clasped his hands together, recited Buddhist scriptures non-stop, and tried to walk into the Buddhist hall with both legs.This time, he finally did not hit the wall again, and entered the Buddhist hall smoothly.

Having already entered, there is no need to recite Buddhist scriptures anymore, Tong Yan took a deep breath, and then looked inside carefully.

There are candles lit in the Buddhist hall, but it is still quite bright.The layout inside is almost the same as that in common temples. If there is a difference, it is that the Buddha statue in the center is not Sakyamuni Buddha, but Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Not only that, but Sakyamuni Buddha is usually a sitting statue, but this Buddha statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is standing.

I saw that the engraving of this Buddha statue was lifelike, as if it was alive.The golden lacquer cover on the body of the Buddha is also embellished with colored lacquer, adding to the charm.The eyes of the Buddha statue are half-closed, half-smiling, holding a Zen stick in his hand, wearing a Pilu hat on his head, and wearing a big red cassock.This appearance is somewhat similar to Tang Seng in Journey to the West.Perhaps Tang Seng's character creation was inspired by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Tong Yan stared at the Buddha statue, but couldn't tell what it felt like.He originally thought that he would smash the Buddha statue to pieces in anger, but when he really got here, he suddenly felt a sense of awe.

After a brief hesitation, he slowly knelt down.It wasn't that he was cowardly, but that he really wanted to know why Earth Store King Bodhisattva wanted to harm him.

After kneeling on the ground, he put his hands together naturally, and then said, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I am Tong Yan, the one you don't want to let leave the underworld. I don't understand what crime I have committed. You want to treat me like this. You first crossed off my Yangshou, and now I enter the Netherworld, and you refuse to let me leave. What is all this for? I don’t understand, I really don’t understand. Come today At this point, I just want to ask you clearly. Even if I really can't leave Yincao alive, please at least let me understand. Please!" When he said this, he respectfully kowtowed three times .

After kowtowing, he slowly closed his eyes, hoping to get instructions from Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

However, to his great disappointment, he felt nothing and heard nothing.The Buddha statue is still a Buddha statue, and he still can only kneel here foolishly.

Although a little frustrated, he was not discouraged.If you want to see a Bodhisattva, you can't just kowtow three times.

As the saying goes, sincerity leads to spirit.He regarded these as his own heart was not sincere enough, so he fell to the ground and kowtowed a few more times.He only stopped when his forehead was torn and bleeding.

But nothing has changed, and the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still hasn't moved at all.

Tong Yan stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his forehead, then smiled wryly: "What on earth do you want me to do before you are willing to see me? You only want to harm me, you are my enemy. I am already humble enough and pious enough. But You are still unmoved, do you really want to let me die to be satisfied? Ksitigarbha, I have no grievances or enmity with you, you harmed me for no reason. Today I come here humbly You asked why, but you chose to avoid it. Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, you are so bullying too much. Then don’t blame my ruthless subordinates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up abruptly, stretched out his hand and pulled out the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle, and stepped forward with one stride, about to smash the Buddha statue.

But at this moment, only a roar of "嗤" was heard from behind the Buddha statue.

Hearing this, Tong Yan immediately turned around and forcibly withdrew his hand.

"What is screaming here? Get out of here!"

As soon as he said this, a big guy with a whole body in white staggered out from behind the Buddha statue.

Tong Yan looked up and couldn't help frowning.

"What kind of strange beast is this? Why have I never seen it before?" Tong Yan thought to himself, but he didn't dare to approach this strange beast rashly.

I saw that this strange beast had the big head of a white tiger, a sharp single horn on its forehead, dog ears, dragon scales all over its body, its tail resembled a lion's tail, and its four feet were as inconspicuous as those of a unicorn. Second, just such a strange beast that looks like a dragon but not a dragon, a tiger but not a tiger, a lion but not a lion, a unicorn but not a unicorn, a dog but not a dog, what exactly is it?

Tong Yan stared at it for a few moments, then asked, "What the hell are you? Why did you appear here?"

Hearing this, the strange beast whitened Tong Yan with a pair of big eyes, and then lay down under the long table in front of the Buddha statue, ignoring Tong Yan.

Seeing this, Tong Yan guessed in his heart that the strange beast didn't want him to touch the Buddha statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.But what is its connection with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
Suddenly, the name of a divine beast appeared in his mind, and this divine beast was Di Ting!
What kind of beast is Di Ting?Legend has it that it is the mount of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the original body of Di Ting is a white dog, because the Ksitigarbha Dharma is based on filial piety, and the dog is loyal, just like the lion of Manjusri represents wisdom, and the white elephant of Samantabhadra represents great deeds. Listening to the truth shows the heart of loyalty and indifference.

This beast is loyal to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and naturally it will not let people damage the Buddha statue of Bodhisattva.But it suddenly appeared, couldn't it be as simple as stopping Tong Yan from destroying the Buddha statue?

Tong Yan thought for a while, and then asked again: "You just listen? You are a beast, and you can understand people's words. Let me ask you, where is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Why does he make things difficult for me and refuses to listen?" Let me leave this underworld?"

Hearing this, Truth yawned a lot and closed his eyes as if he didn't hear it.

It's actions made the anger in Tong Yan's heart burn again.Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva himself refused to show up, but now he sent a mount here to guard the Buddha statue. Is it obvious that he closed the door and let the dogs bully people?

Tong Yan gritted his teeth, and then said fiercely: "Don't think that you are a beast, I dare not do anything to you. Let me tell you, since I came today, I am ready to die here. Don't tell Where is your master, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Having said this, he immediately mobilized the true energy in his body, injected it into the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle, and at this moment recited the six-syllable mantra.

He didn't know whether it was because he had noticed the Buddha's light emanating from the vajra's magic pestle, or he had heard Tong Yan recite the Buddhist scriptures he was more familiar with.At first it was still dozing off with its eyes closed, but now it has opened its eyes wide and looked at Tong Yan full of doubts.

Immediately afterwards, the proud Truth Ting finally spoke.

"You don't need to waste your energy in vain. The Bodhisattva will not see you. The Bodhisattva said that the time has not come and we cannot meet each other. In addition, the reason why the Bodhisattva treats you like this is for your own good. You will understand. Now, you can leave. By the way, there is one more thing, the Bodhisattva said, let you make good use of this Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle in your hand. It can transform you into a Buddha, and it can also transform you into a demon. !Whether you want to become a Buddha or a demon is up to you.”

"But? But am I really inseparable from the underworld?"

Di Ting yawned, and then said with some reluctance: "Whether you can leave the underworld or not depends on yourself. In short, if your heart is good, no one will embarrass you. But if your heart is evil, this underworld is yours." Shackles!"

After Tong Yan heard this, he wanted to say something more.Ke Diting opened his mouth wide, and suddenly spit out a gust of wind.The wind was so strong that Tong Yan was blown out of the monastery before he could react.

At the same time, he seemed to sense something, and then suddenly looked up.Upon seeing this, he was completely stunned.Above the gray sky, he actually saw...

What do you see?Let's talk about it in the next chapter!
PS: There will be more later!
