Chapter 157 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: Are you all fools? ! !
The underworld is the center of reincarnation for all living beings in the three realms.

After the lich war in the past, the remaining witch clan was divided into two. One retreated to Beiju Luzhou and multiplied and multiplied; On the one hand, he is responsible for leading the reincarnation of sentient beings in the three realms, and accumulating luck for the witch clan, so that he can quickly bring back the great magical powers of the witch clan, like the eleven ancestral witches, who have returned to the ruins.

However, although the underworld is guarded by Yama, the underworld god of the ten palaces transformed by the witch clan, and Pingxin Empress, who is comparable to the Golden Immortal of Hunyuan Daluo, for the underworld world that is growing with the growth of the three realms of the prehistoric times, the witch clan has gone to ten places at that time. It is indeed difficult for the power of Bajiu's clan to suppress Jifu Zhouquan.At that time, evil spirits from the eighteen levels of hell rushed into the world, and things that reversed the yin and yang occurred.

At that time, the Buddhist Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva felt that the powerful evil ghosts under the eighteen levels of hell would fall into the endless hells forever and struggle and could not escape. His heart was full of compassion, so he made a great wish: "Hell will never be empty, and it will never be free." Become a Buddha".

He has become Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who can be said in Buddhism to forever control the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld. If the hell is not empty, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will not be able to transcend and become a Buddha.

At that time, in addition to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the Buddhist sect, Taiyi the Suffering God of the Taoist sect also made a similar great wish to incarnate as the Suffering God of the ten directions to save suffering and perish for the world and hell.

From then on, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Taiyi, the Suffering God, will not be able to leave the underworld unless their great aspirations are fulfilled, and they will not be able to transcend themselves.

However, if you give something, you will definitely gain something. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Taiyi Jishu Tianzun sacrificed their true freedom at the cost, but they also gained the power of great supernatural powers who are comparable to the Great Luo Jinxian within the scope of the underworld!And they are responsible for the reincarnation authority of the two disciples of Buddhism and Taoism!
In the immortal world of the human world, once any Buddhist disciple or Taoist disciple dies, the sinful ones with great cause and effect and great karma will still be judged and dealt with by reincarnation in the ten palaces of the underworld.However, those Buddhist or Taoist disciples who have no merit or demerit, or who have great merits and deeds, will be sent from the underworld to the Taoist realm of Taiyi to save the suffering, or to the Buddhist realm of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who will personally arrange reincarnation. .

This is also a way for Taoism and Buddhism to ensure their long-term longevity.As long as a Taoist disciple or a Buddhist disciple has no shortage of virtues, in each reincarnation, a better reincarnation will be arranged for them, with more blessings, more luck, and more energy. If accumulated in this way, they will eventually be able to Slowly become an immortal and a Buddha.

As a result, Taoism and Buddhism will emerge in large numbers and become more and more prosperous.

And now, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is in the eighteenth level of hell forever, frowns and looks at the Buddhist disciples in front of him who have been sent into reincarnation in recent days.

If things are normal, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will arrange for their next reincarnation as usual after receiving these Buddhist disciples.

But the current situation is very abnormal. Firstly, the number of Buddhist disciples who have died in recent days has far exceeded the usual number, nearly ten times more than the number of Buddhist disciples who died in normal times in the past!
If that's the case, then that's it. Human Buddhism may have suffered another calamity from the Buddha. This kind of situation has happened in the past, such as the human race's Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty who destroyed the Buddha, and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who destroyed the Buddha.

But those Buddhist disciples who suffered the Buddha's tribulation in the past were basically disciples whose own blessings, wisdom, and understanding were insufficient. They suffered tribulations when they suffered, and they just continued to accumulate reincarnations.Most of the other Buddhist disciples with outstanding talents and profound blessings are unencumbered.

And now, in just a few days, eight Buddhist disciples who, in the opinion of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, are expected to achieve Arhat status, have died!The remaining Buddhist disciples who died were all Buddhist disciples who were expected to achieve the status of Situohan (immortal).

"Amitabha, you all have the qualifications of an Arhat. It should be difficult for demons and monsters to defeat you in the world of human beings. Even if great demons from ancient times really come into the world, the foundation of the human race is not empty talk. Even if the foundation of the human race cannot be revealed, our Buddhist sect also has Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. Above, why are you waiting for reincarnation one after another?"

Ksitigarbha looked at the dead souls of the eight Buddhist disciples standing at the front and said with a puzzled expression.

"Amitabha, thanks to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, this young monk did not encounter a big evil demon. He just imitated the compassion of the ancestors, the Bodhisattva and the eminent monk Luzhu. He is willing to use his remaining body to enlighten all living beings and return to the right path."

Standing at the front was the soul of an old monk with an ordinary appearance and slightly swaying white eyebrows. He put his hands together and performed a Buddhist verse. He looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and respected the Tao.

"The same is true for Amitabha, poor monks and others. I would like to use my remaining body to enlighten all living beings and return to the right path."

The other dead monks also sang a Buddhist verse and answered in unison.

This answer only made Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva even more confused. What is all this?
The Buddha pointed to the Blessed One Tathagata, and he knew this.

The Bodhisattva is talking about himself, and he can understand this.

But who is this Lu Zhu?

Could it be that there is a new eminent monk in Buddhism who achieved enlightenment and attained the status of Arhat or even Bodhisattva?
But if he is a monk, his name should be a Buddhist name, not a secular name!Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a clone in Daleiyin Temple, it is used to simultaneously receive major events in Buddhism.However, "Sword Rain" does not seem to be a big deal to Ksitigarbha's clone in Daleiyin Temple, and it will not affect Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so it is not synchronized with Ksitigarbha's original deity in the underworld, so Ksitigarbha I don’t know who Lu Zhu is.

After pondering for a moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at the old monk in front of him and asked:

"Can I allow this poor monk to have a look at your past?"

Although Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can see the past experiences of the dead soul of the old monk in front of him at a moment's notice, he still has to ask about it.

"Amitabha, there is nothing wrong with him, Bodhisattvas can only look at it."

The old monk clasped his hands together and nodded.

After getting the old monk's permission, Ksitigarbha made his mind move and presented the old monk's life experiences in front of him like a photo in front of himself and the souls of other Buddhist disciples.

Most of my experiences during my lifetime were nothing to talk about. They were just daily operations of Buddhist disciples such as chanting sutras, participating in meditation, and practicing cultivation.

Until I saw the old monk in front of me responded to the call notice issued by Buddhism on Qimeng.com and went to watch "Sword Rain" at the theater in the state capital.When Lu Zhushe enlightened Xiao Yu in "Sword Rain", he said: "If you can put down this sword in your hand and leave this path, I will be the last person you kill."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva couldn't help but clasped his palms together and said Amitabha.At the same time, he also knew who Lu Zhu was, but this did not solve Ksitigarbha's doubts.

Until I saw the old monk walking to a small mountain temple outside the state capital after taking photos at the night show. On the way, he encountered a man-eating demon that jumped out and wanted to eat the old monk.

The old monk sat cross-legged, looking at the evil demon in front of him with compassion and said:
"If you can let go of the desires in your heart and return to the right path, I hope this poor monk will be the last person you eat."

At the end of the scene, the evil demon eats the old monk alive bit by bit.In the end, the old monk died and entered reincarnation, and was then sent to Ksitigarbha's Buddha realm by underworld messengers.

Later, the memories of the souls of other monks were extracted, which were basically no different from the old monk's death method.Either he sacrifices his life to save the evil demon body and dies, or he sacrifices his life to save the evil body and dies.

Seeing this scene, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had a lot to say.

As long as you practice hard for a few more decades, you will either achieve Arhat status, Arhat status, or Anagami status, and then you will kill yourself so easily? ! !
But looking at the group of dead monks in front of them who showed no regrets, they couldn't say anything. They sighed, waved their hands and arranged for their reincarnation.

At the same time, he told the World Honored Tathagata in the Great Thunder Sound Temple in Lingshan about this situation, and asked him to give a good notice, so that Buddhist disciples in the world should not easily sacrifice their lives to enlighten evil demons or evil people.

Just as Jian Chi said in "Sword Rain": "Buddha taught the world to pay attention to opportunities. Once the opportunity passes, the conditions will be destroyed. But before the opportunity arrives, even if the opportunity is hit, it will not hit the target."

Obviously, those monks who gave initiations one by one before, nine out of ten failed to initiate initiations successfully.

The Taoist sect is divided into nine realms of immortality: mortal realm, earthly immortal, heavenly immortal, true immortal, mysterious immortal, golden immortal, Taiyi golden immortal, Daluo golden immortal, and saint.

Buddhism divides the Buddhist path into nine realms: ordinary realm, Sotapanna, Situagami, Anagami, Arhat, Arhat, Bodhisattva, Buddha, and Saint.
