Judgement

Chapter 37 Listening and Solving Puzzles

Chen Mengsheng shouted loudly: "Ah, it's Jigong Living Buddha who has come."

Ying Xiaolian didn't know why she felt a sense of fear in her heart when she saw this dirty monk.He wanted to hide in the porcelain vase but found himself frozen in place.

The monk smiled: "Girl, don't be afraid, the poor monk only punishes those evildoers who harm the world. The monk is here for you today, and the monk will not harm you, so you can rest assured."

Chen Mengsheng wondered: "Why did the master say that he came here for Miss Ying?"

"Ho, ho. There's wine and food. Monk, I'm hungry. I'll talk about it after eating, and I'll talk after eating." Jigong picked up the cooked chicken with one hand, and the wine jar with the other, drank half of the jar, and breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "This wine has seeped too much, and it's a little watery. One of you is a fairy body, and the other is a ghost body. Don't waste this chicken here." Chen Mengsheng and Ying Xiaolian looked at it dumbfounded. Looking at Jigong's five-clawed golden dragon, he wiped all the food and wine on the table like a storm.After drinking and eating, Zen Master Jigong was picking his teeth with a chicken foot or fish bone in his hand.

He burped and said: "This wine was sacrificed to General Zhongyong, and it happened to enter the poor monk's belly. It's good, good. You don't have to be so tight, and you will be punished if you are loyal. It's just that someone designed to get rid of the crime. The method of embedding flowers and trees is for that prince."

Chen Mengsheng was puzzled and said: "Master, I don't know what you mean?"

Ji Gong said with a smile: "Judge, you frightened the prince, so he went to Liu Laodao of Qingyang Temple to help him, and the person who died at that time was just a scapegoat."

"The Netherworld doesn't matter? Is this Netherworld as black as a crow like this world? I'm going to the Netherworld, Master, please take me there." Chen Mengsheng was depressed. Although he was a judge, he couldn't go to the Netherworld. boundary.

"Haha, the poor monk doesn't have the ability to take you to the underworld, but there is one person who can. You know that only when all sentient beings are exhausted can you prove Bodhi; hell is not empty, and you can't become a Buddha. Who said that?"

Chen Mengsheng said: "This is the Buddhist language of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha."

"The child can be taught, and the poor monk is full. Let's say goodbye. You see, the girl Ying is so drunk with the wine and meat of the poor monk that she can't move. It's a sin, a sin." After Ji Gong finished speaking, he pulled the broken one and could not break it again shoes out of the door, hidden in the twilight.Chen Mengsheng bowed deeply to Jigong's back.Ying Xiaolian's soul was fixed by Jigong's Buddha light until Jigong left.

"This master is so powerful, Xiao Lian doesn't know why he is so scared when he sees him."

"Miss Ying, you go back to the bottle first. I will go to the Ksitigarbha Temple and I will definitely give you justice."

In Buddhism, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, surnamed Jin and named Qiao Jue, was entrusted by Sakyamuni Buddha to take on the important task of educating sentient beings of the six realms in a world without Buddha after Sakyamuni's death and before the birth of Maitreya, the future Buddha. In charge of the underworld.It is one of the four great bodhisattvas who are as famous as Manjusri Bodhisattva of great wisdom, Bodhisattva of Samantabhadra of great practice and Bodhisattva of Great Compassion.

There is a temple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the south of Lin'an. When Chen Mengsheng rushed to the Ksitigarbha Temple, he saw a golden statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva more than ten feet high, wearing a crown, wearing a heavenly coat, and decorated with a celestial body, holding a tin staff in one hand. Holding a lotus in one hand.Next to the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a dog that looks like a lion (the famous Tibetan dog "Tibetan Mastiff", which is well-known today, has a big head and long hair, and looks like a golden lion) as a mount.Chen Mengsheng took incense from the side, knelt on the futon, and said in his mouth: "Great Wish Bodhisattva Bodhisattva is above, disciple Chen Mengsheng, as the judge of the human world, crosses the souls of the dead among the six realms, punishes evil and promotes good, and brings the wicked people of the world to justice." It is based on the law. However, he did not expect that there will be such a thing as a flower in the Netherworld, Chen Mengsheng is stupid and does not know which is more important than human affection and the law of the underworld?"

"Haha, the disciple I haven't seen for many years has now become a judge. Back then, Yuxu Palace heard the Dharma and saw the gods. I don't think it has been a thousand years since we reunited today. I don't know why the judge came here?" Fotai A Bodhisattva with protruding parietal bones and riding a white dog Di Ting appeared on it. He was looking at Chen Mengsheng with a smile on his face. Di Ting squinted and looked at Chen Mengsheng. .

Chen Mengsheng replied respectfully: "The disciple only came here for a grievance in the world. In the mortal world, there is a life lawsuit between Ying Tianxiong and the prince. It's just that this grievance has already involved the law enforcement of the netherworld, so I came to ask the Bodhisattva for advice." Chen Mengsheng will Ying Tianxiong and the prince talked about it to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from the beginning to the end

After hearing this, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha pondered for a long time and said: "Judge, you don't know that Ying and Wang are enemies from a long time ago. Judge, don't worry, my white dog listens to everything, and listens to what you said about the two of them. Speak to the judge."

Hearing the cry of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, Truth reluctantly opened one eye.Shaking his head, he said: "Ying and Wang were originally a pair of brothers in Zhongnan Mountain in the Southern Tang Dynasty. This elder brother is the later Ying Tianxiong, and the younger brother is the prince Qi. The two brothers spend their days cutting firewood in Zhongnan Mountain. I don't want to see a wounded elk one day when the two brothers went into the mountain, the elder brother wanted to kill the elk. So he asked his brother to keep an eye on the elk and cut some firewood by himself. After the elder brother left, the younger brother guarded the injured elk. But they didn’t know that the elk could speak. The elk begged his younger brother to let it go. The younger brother let it go when he saw that the elk was pitiful. When the elder brother came back and found the elk was gone, he scolded his younger brother that nothing would happen. The two brothers fought for this one. There was a dispute over the elk, and the two brothers never went into the mountains together. Judge, do you think the two brothers are right or wrong?"

Chen Mengsheng was also at a loss for words for a while: "I think they are all right. My brother killed the elk to feed his hunger, but my brother released the elk out of kindness. They are all right?"

The white dog listened and continued: "The younger brother let go of a mountain spirit. Later, the two brothers went to the mountain to cut firewood. The younger brother would pick up a silver ingot every day, but the older brother didn't. As the days go by, the younger brother will Spending money to expand the house, the younger brother has money so that he has not forgotten his elder brother, and the two started a business together. A few years later, the younger brother married a beautiful woman, and the older brother is in his thirties. I am still a bachelor. My younger brother became a relative and felt inconvenient to live with his elder brother, so he rebuilt a house not far away, and lived a very comfortable life. Half a year later, the younger brother suddenly fell ill. , my brother hurried back from other places after hearing the news. When he arrived at his brother’s house and knocked on the door, there was no answer, so he kicked open the door and went straight into the back room in a hurry. After entering the house, his brother was shocked. The drum-like elk was opening its mouth wide open, as if it wanted to eat its younger brother. The elder brother picked up the iron hoe from outside the house, and hit the elk on the head with one hoe..." At this point, Ting Ting let out a long sigh.

Chen Mengsheng hurriedly asked: "Then what happened later? Did the elder brother save the younger brother by killing the goblin?"

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, that elk is a phantom mountain spirit, just to repay that younger brother for saving his life. First, he helped his younger brother with the money that was intentionally placed on the road every day, and later he fell in love with it after a long time. This young man has changed into a woman and lives with his younger brother. The younger brother also knows that the daughter-in-law was changed by the mountain spirit, and he does not dislike it. The mountain spirit will be pregnant soon. Unexpectedly, the younger brother suddenly fell ill, and the mountain spirit walked all over the ground with a big belly Visiting famous doctors, walking on three mountains and five mountains to pick the treasures of heaven and earth. But my brother’s illness did not improve. Finally, one day the mountain spirit cried and told his dying brother that today is the last day of his life. The mountain spirit couldn’t bear his brother When he died, he planned to use the elixir that he had practiced for 500 years to save his younger brother. How could he have recovered his original shape? As soon as the mountain spirit opened his mouth and spit out the elixir, he heard someone knocking on the door. In the younger brother's mouth, he was hit by his iron hoe before he could explain. The spirit pill is the root of the mountain spirit's life, and he was killed on the spot after being hit on the head. The younger brother who collapsed on the bed was a Dying but knowing it well, seeing his beloved wife being beaten to death by his brother because of his exhaustion for days. He pushed his brother in anger, but he didn't know that the panacea had accumulated 500 years of mountain spirits Cultivation. This reasoning is unbelievable. The elder brother was so broken that he couldn't figure it out when he was about to die. I saved people with good intentions but got such a reward. When I died, I said that I saved you with good intentions, but I was rewarded with bad retribution. After death, I will be transformed into ten lives A fierce ghost is looking for your life. The younger brother lost the mountain spirit and used a knife to dig out his own elixir to save the mountain spirit. In the end, the younger brother also hated his brother and died..."

Chen Mengsheng finished listening to what Diting had said about Ying and Wang's old grievances in their previous lives.It's really hard to judge right or wrong, but as a judge, I can only end their grievances and resentments in this life...

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the main purpose of my disciple's visit this time is to ask Bodhisattva to take me to the Underworld."

"Hehe, judge. I understand. You must have been instructed by an expert today, right? Well, since you are a judge of the underworld, you can't even go to the Netherworld. If you tell me, I won't be able to show my face." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva put down the tin Flower stick, palm flat.There is a pair of small shoes less than an inch in the palm, one shoe is an official shoe, and the other shoe is a cloth shoe.

"Judge, these are yin and yang shoes. They were gifted to me by your ancestor Taishang Laojun on Jiuhua Mountain. I will give them to you now." With a movement of fingers, the yin and yang shoes rose from the sky and hidden behind Chen Mengsheng's feet...
