Yinsi guest

A group of people were about to go forward when suddenly there was a melodious Zen singing from the hut. The curling Sanskrit sound washed away the dust in my heart like flowing water. .

Not only me, but the dozen or so people around me were all stunned, none of them moved forward, they all stopped and listened quietly.

It took a quarter of an hour before the chanting gradually stopped, and a monk with a kind face appeared in front of the hut.His ears hang down his shoulders, he leans on a Zen stick with seven treasures shining in his right hand, and holds a round silver-white orb in his left hand. With bare feet, he walks towards us step by step.

"It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar! I'm tired of waiting for a long time. Please forgive me for being far away!" The monk revealed his identity as soon as he opened his mouth, obviously speaking to me, an outsider. Listen, the Kings of Hades naturally recognize him.

King Qin Guang immediately saluted: "How could it be? We were fortunate enough to listen to the Bodhisattva's meditation, and all the sins in our hearts were relieved at once. This is our blessing!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and said: "The Buddha saves people who are destined, but I, Ksitigarbha, want to save all sufferings. You don't need to be polite. No one will come to my place when I am waiting. Busy people who have nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, since you are here, just try it!"

I was stunned: "Could it be that the Bodhisattva already knows our reason for coming?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva summoned something with a wave of his hand, which really surprised me.That thing was as big as a lion, but it had antlers, camel's head, crab's eyes, horse's mouth, cow's ears, goat's whiskers, lion's mane, carp scales, snake's body, eagle's claws, and tiger's paws. , what is it?

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw me in astonishment, and hurriedly said: "This is my horse that can listen to everything in the world, and can distinguish all falsehoods. When Monkey King and the six-eared macaque were indistinguishable from the real, it all depended on my listening." It has been a thousand years since the two of them were distinguished, and the only way to get rid of the evil spirits was to ensure that Xuanzang's cultivation was a true fruit!"

I immediately showed a look of admiration: "So this is Truth Listening! After seeing our intention of coming, it was revealed to you Bodhisattva. It also saves a lot of talking!"

"In that case, everyone, please follow me!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva turned around and guided us to the hut. We followed immediately. As soon as we entered, we realized that the layout was extremely simple. The bamboo stools, wooden tables, and rattan beds were all handmade by Bodhisattva. It is a large rattan box nearly two meters high in the corner, made of golden kudzu vines, which looks extremely strong.

"Everyone, please sit down!" The Bodhisattva supported the bright white orb in his palm, and several bamboo stools suddenly appeared in the hut, no more, no less for each person!

I sat down according to the Bodhisattva's instructions, but I was thinking about Xianxianjian and Song Enxuan in my heart, so I couldn't help saying: "Bodhisattva, I just don't know where Senior Song is at this time? Why didn't he come out to meet us?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva waved his hand: "Be safe and don't be impatient, I just brought you to see him? Donor Song is in this room, but don't panic when you see him!"

I laughed secretly in my heart, everyone here is old Jianghu, I haven't seen any scenes, although Song Enxuan is not human, but I see ghosts as much as people, why should I be afraid?So he nodded and agreed: "Everything is just according to the Bodhisattva's order, and I also ask the Bodhisattva to ask Senior Song to come out and meet us, we have something important to ask!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva walked carefully to the huge kudzu box, and the Qibao Zen staff rushed into the kudzu box, and the dazzling brilliance instantly filled the whole hut, and the seven treasures emitted seven colors of light. It circulates endlessly.

The kudzu vines that made up the box immediately began to change, gradually shrinking from the top to the bottom as if they had gained life, and the things in the box gradually came into view. If the Bodhisattva hadn't said not to panic first, I'm afraid I would have cried out a long time ago.

Inside the box is a piece of transparent solid ice that exudes such a strong cold air, and there is a person frozen in the ice, no, it is a ghost!But this ghost is different from any ghost I have ever seen. His handsome face is occupied by a black aura. The black aura is still circulating in the ice, but his aura is extremely powerful. If there is no Bodhisattva by his side, I will Maybe the elder brother and the second brother have already been called to withdraw.

"Ah! How could Song Enxuan be sealed in ice? No wonder I haven't seen him in the past few years, so he has been imprisoned here by the Bodhisattva and can't move!" Li Ling said, there was a feeling of gloating in his tone, which made me hear Very upset.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shook his head: "No and no! It's not that I want to imprison him, but Song Benefactor himself asked to be sealed."

I was confused all of a sudden, this Song Enxuan is too strange, first asked to guard the last three floors of the underworld for hundreds of years, and then self-imprisoned, there must be something wrong!

"Could it be that there is something wrong with Senior Song, or that he was seriously injured? So he must seal himself?" I asked curiously.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva frowned: "It would be easy to deal with serious injuries. With my Mani beads, any injuries can be cured. The problem of Donor Song is much more difficult than this!"

Hearing what the Bodhisattva said, I felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured into my heart. I originally wanted to ask Song Enxuan for the Immortal Trapping Sword, but now that he is sealed in ice alive and dead, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the Immortal Trapping Sword in ten or ten days. I couldn't help but feel lost for a while.

Following the retreat of the kudzu vines, I gradually saw the whole picture of Song Enxuan. He looked hideous and terrifying when he was sealed, and his face was full of resentment. But the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did say that he asked himself to be sealed. Why was he unwilling? What about the color?Could it be that Bodhisattvas also lie?

Song Enxuan's posture is not a problem, his stature is about the same as mine, he is standing upright, his left hand is behind his back, his right hand is stretched obliquely towards the ground, his fist is empty, as if he once held a sword in his hand, this is a standard His Chengfeng swordsmanship moves!But where did the sword in his hand go?

"Bodhisattva, the main purpose of our coming to you this time is to ask Senior Song for the Immortal Trapping Sword. Have you ever seen that sword?" Not necessarily the Tibetan King Bodhisattva!

The Bodhisattva pointed to the ice cube: "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you! Could it be that Donor Li can't see it?"

I was taken aback: "Where is it?"

"It's in the hands of the benefactor Song!" The Bodhisattva told me tirelessly.

I looked carefully again, and sure enough, there was a vague sword energy swimming in the seemingly empty part of Song Enxuan's hand, forming a very faint sword shadow. Easy to spot!

"Wow! This immortal sword is colorless and transparent, it's amazing!" I admired.

King Qin Guang smiled awkwardly: "The Immortal Trapping Sword is a ghost sword, if it is not transparent, our ghosts are holding a colored sword floating in the air, isn't it too conspicuous?"

I rubbed my head: "That's right! Bodhisattva, since Senior Song is sealed, can you undo the seal a little bit so that I can take out the Trapping Immortal Sword?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw my rascal appearance, and laughed loudly: "Benefactor Li, you are too naive! If you can easily unseal, what do you need this seal for? Besides, you are also a sword wielder. In the realm of oneness, this Immortal Immortal Sword is one with Donor Song, how can you get it without his consent?"

This time I finally gave up, and sat back on the seat deflatedly. The man and the sword were right in front of me, but I couldn't ask for it. This is the furthest distance in the world!

"Donor Li, you don't need to be upset! I will definitely break the seal today."

A word from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva aroused my enthusiasm again, and he continued: "But before opening the seal, you should listen to me tell the story of the Song donor, and then you can decide whether to open the seal or not."

It turns out that there is still a story to listen to, and it must be related to this strange incident. Of course, I have to listen to it in order to trap the fairy sword.Turning his head to look at the Hades, he found that they also looked blank. After reading this story, Song Enxuan must have told Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva before he was sealed.

The second elder brother saluted: "Bodhisattva, please speak!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva returned the salute and said: "The story happened 400 years ago. Song Benefactor learned Taoism and superb divination skills from the old man Tianji, and he himself realized a set of unparalleled swordsmanship for riding the wind. It’s just that the situation in the Ming Dynasty was chaotic at that time, and there were famines everywhere after years of disasters, and the people who couldn’t survive rose up, causing the Ming Dynasty to suffer. Among them, the most famous ones are the Chuang Wang Li Zicheng and the Murder King Zhang Xianzhong!”

When Yuan Chonghuan died, the world was not in chaos, but the eldest brother witnessed this history, and asked curiously: "Could it be that Song Enxuan has a relationship with the two of them?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded: "It is a great relationship! The three of them are sworn brothers just like you. They are the same age, and they were all born in [-]. Li Zicheng was born in August, the oldest, and Zhang Xianzhong, born in September, is the oldest." Second, Song Enxuan was born in October as the third child. The three met in the village, and then they traveled together in Sichuan. When the war broke out, the three brothers took care of each other. In the end, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong each led an army, while Song Enxuan wandered around the world without fame and fortune. But But Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong fell out over the Ming Dynasty's national weapon after capturing Fengyang, one went north, the other went south, and each fought on their own!"

"It turns out that there is such a relationship, it's really knowledgeable!" I only knew that these two people were the leaders of the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty, but I never thought that there was brotherhood, but it was a pity that they fell out.

The Bodhisattva smiled: "Song Enxuan concentrated on the way of heaven, and found that the Ming Dynasty was about to perish at the hands of foreigners, so he aroused his mortal heart, and tried to find the legendary Four Swords of Jade Immortals to counter the Qing Dynasty. Difficult to change, he tried his best but ended up dying. After enlightenment, he left the world and concentrated on cultivating to become a ghost. Then Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan but caused big trouble. He burned ancient sites everywhere, and he was suppressed for thousands of years. The devil was released, and the devil seized the opportunity to occupy Zhang Xianzhong's body. After that, there was the famous Seven Kills Monument, claiming that all things are born with humans, and that humans have nothing with heaven, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill. There were originally more than 300 million households slaughtered in Sichuan, but only tens of thousands remained, with corpses strewn everywhere and blood flowing on oars.”

The eldest brother suddenly realized: "No wonder the people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other areas were moved to Sichuan immediately after the Manchu Qing entered the customs. It turned out that they were killed by Zhang Xianzhong!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued: "Song Enxuan rushed to hear the news, used himself as a bait to lure the demon out of Zhang Xianzhong's body, and then went straight to the underworld, hoping that I could help him suppress the demon, but unfortunately the demon is extremely cunning. On the contrary, Donor Song's nature began to become cruel, so he had no choice but to seal himself, so as not to rush out of the underworld to do evil! Donor Song is proficient in hexagrams, and he had anticipated today's situation, and left a letter to Donor Li. Have you read it? I will understand."

I respectfully took the letter paper handed over by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and when I opened it, I was dumbfounded!
