It really makes me very sad that people like Teacher Qiao will go to hell, but there is nothing I can do about it.
"Xiao An, you don't need to be too sad. This is her cause and effect." Grandma said again after calculating with her fingers: "Moreover, after Teacher Qiao completes his karma in hell, there is a high probability that he will be reborn in the world of heaven and humanity to enjoy happiness."
"Really?" I suddenly felt happy and felt a lot better. Devas in the realm of heaven and humanity have whatever they want. Everyone is a sentient being with great blessings. It is extremely difficult to reincarnate in the realm of heaven and humanity.
Although Teacher Qiao is in hell now, it will be worth it if he can go to heaven and enjoy happiness in the future.
But soon I thought of another thing that worried me, "By the way, grandma, do you know how long Teacher Qiao will have to suffer in hell and what kind of torture he is undergoing."
The sentient beings in hell are extremely miserable, and each sentient being suffers different times and punishments according to its different karma.
Those who commit heinous sins, such as those who commit the Five Infinite Sins, kill their parents, smash Buddha statues, and bleed out of the Buddha's body, will be dragged into the Infinite Hell and suffer extremely serious crimes. Being skinned every day is a minor crime, and they will suffer. The time ranges from a few hundred years to tens of thousands of years, or even more.
So I'm very worried about Teacher Qiao's condition.
"Well..." Grandma pondered for a moment and said: "There are many spaces in hell, and the passage of time in each space is different, slower or faster. I don't know how long she will have to suffer, but..."
Grandma looked at the sea of blood in front of her and said again: "But I can find her and know what she is suffering from."
"Ah?" I was immediately surprised. I didn't expect grandma to have such a powerful ability.
I was just about to ask if I should hurry up and find Teacher Qiao to see her, when grandma raised her hand and waved.
Suddenly, Zhou Shi's space suddenly began to distort. After a while, many fragmented space scenes appeared around him, and screams were heard.
When I saw the scene inside, my eyes widened and my heart beat wildly. Even though I had seen many sneaky people, I was completely shocked.
The earth and sky in the picture are all blood-red, and there are countless iron beds on the ground, with billions of sentient beings lying on them.
They were skinned and cramped by the devil with horns and a knife and fork standing next to them. They were extremely miserable, and the screams became the main theme of the sky.
What's even weirder is that after those sinners were skinned, their skin grew back, and then they were skinned off again. The punishment was repeated in this way, and they had to endure pain for who knows how many years.
In some scenes, there are scenes of mountains of swords and seas of fire. Countless sentient beings were thrown into the sea of fire by winged monsters and burned. There were even naked people climbing up mountains of swords that could not be seen to the top. Their hands and feet were cut open with blood. , extremely painful.
In some scenes, there are many sharp axes floating in the sky, falling continuously to cut off countless sentient beings lying on the ground.
There were countless scenes of torture, and they were so miserable that they could do nothing but wail miserably.
My calves felt cramped when I saw it. Is this hell? It was so terrifying.
Grandma looked at me and said seriously: "This is just the tip of the iceberg of many hells. Xiao An, you must remember not to do evil, otherwise this is your destination."
After hearing this, my body became alert and I made up my mind not to do bad things. Hell is really terrible.
"Grandma, which hell is Teacher Qiao in?" I asked quickly, my heart aching when I thought of her being brutally tortured.
After scanning the surrounding scenes, grandma frowned and said, "Teacher Qiao is not in these hells."
After finishing speaking, grandma raised her hand again and the scene changed. This time the scene presented to us was not as cruel as before.
Some of these criminals were beaten repeatedly with whips, and some were thrown to death by flying monsters.
Some had their bodies shot through by thousands of swords. Although it was also cruel, it was much better than those who had their skin and bones ripped out before.
Suddenly, my grandma's eyes were fixed on a white space on the right. I turned around and saw a scene of ice and snow.
On the endless snow-covered land, countless beings were walking against the wind, not knowing where they were going, but suddenly, a strong wind blew.
In my shocked eyes, the bodies of many living beings were cut to pieces by the knife-like wind. Their blood bloomed in the white snow, and they died without even uttering a scream.
Suddenly, many sharp ice cones appeared in the sky, falling like rain and piercing through the bodies of all living beings. After the blood stained the white snow, the bodies gradually disappeared, and then reappeared on the other side, and soon they were swallowed by the white monster that appeared in the snow. .
"Teacher Qiao is in this ice hell." After finishing speaking, grandma looked at me and said, "Let's go, I will take you to find her."
I was very shocked inside. My grandma could actually take my soul to hell. How powerful is her Taoism? Could she be a powerful person?
But before I could ask any more questions, my grandma didn’t do much, just patted me on the shoulder, and we appeared above the Ice Hell.
Suddenly, an unbearable chill filled my whole body, as if it was about to freeze my soul. Even if the breeze blew against my body, I felt like I was being cut open by a knife.
Suddenly, my grandma put her hand on my shoulder, and a warm current rushed into my body, and I could no longer feel the cold chill.
While I was shocked by my grandma's methods, I carefully observed this space. Once inside, the visual impact in front of me shocked me even more.
On the endless snow-capped land, countless sentient beings are densely packed, overwhelmingly connected to the horizon, numbering in the billions.
They were both men and women, old and young, but they all walked from one side to the other with dull eyes, and then their bodies were chopped into pieces by the strong wind, or nailed to the ground by ice picks.
Compared with the previous tortures in hell, they died without pain. Although it was repeated, it was much better.
"Grandma, Teacher Qiao is not among this group of people." I looked at the crowd of sinners below and asked, if this is the case, how can I find Teacher Qiao?
Grandma frowned and looked down at all the living beings at her feet. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "She is not in this direction, let's go."
As soon as I finished speaking, my grandma grabbed my hand and flew in the opposite direction of where the living beings were walking. This was my first time flying in the sky, and it felt so wonderful.
I was curious about where Teacher Qiao was or what kind of punishment he was suffering, but I didn’t ask any more questions. I didn’t know how long I had been flying when an iceberg suddenly appeared in front of me.
My pupils shrank, and I saw a huge icicle piercing the sky standing on the top of the mountain. A slender figure was tied to the bottom of the icicle, and screams were made from time to time.
My heart was shaken when I heard it. This voice was made by Teacher Qiao.
"Grandma." I looked at grandma eagerly.
Grandma frowned slightly and quickly led me to the ground. When I saw the scene in front of me, my eyes immediately became moist.
I saw Teacher Qiao being tied to an icicle, shivering, her body turning red and purple from the cold, and screaming from time to time.
"Teacher Qiao." I yelled and ran to her. Her hair was frozen, and her eyelashes were covered with white frost, but there was no sparkle in her eyes, and she didn't react at all when she saw me.
"Teacher Qiao, I'm Xiao An, Xiao An." I stretched out my hand to hold Teacher Qiao's shoulders. Her skin was as cold as Arctic ice.
"Hey, she has been reincarnated and has lost the memory of her previous life." Grandma sighed.
"Grandma," I said anxiously, "You are all here to save Teacher Qiao. Don't let her suffer like this, or she can suffer a lighter punishment."
Grandma shook her head and sighed: "This is her karma. Not to mention me, even the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can't save her. Compared with the pain of being skinned, it is very good for Teacher Qiao to suffer this freezing punishment." , I just don’t know how many years it will be frozen here.”
My heart suddenly sank to the bottom when I heard this, and I looked at Teacher Qiao's body with tearful eyes. Her body was tied up with a rope made of white snowflakes.
Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, and the color of Teacher Qiao's body kept changing, from red to white to purple. This was completely the result of being frozen by different sub-zero temperatures. Then Teacher Qiao screamed, "Ahhhhh." "
Her body struggled desperately, but to no avail.
"Teacher Qiao." I whimpered and hugged her body, trying to keep her warm, but suddenly, my whole body became cold and I felt like I was frozen. I was so scared that I quickly let her go.
"Grandma, is there really nothing we can do?" I looked at my grandma with a pleading expression.
Grandma sighed: "You can only escape from hell after she eliminates her karma. But Xiao An, when you reach the state where your soul can leave the body and travel through the hell space, you can come here to find Teacher Qiao and read Ksitigarbha Sutra or Golden Steel Bar to her. Dedicating merit will help speed up the purification of her bad karma and help her escape from the Ice Hell as soon as possible."
My eyes lit up when I heard this, and I thought, can this be done?
But soon I frowned again. Zen said that I had to practice to the middle and late stages of the Second Zen Heaven before I could have the initial ability to leave the body.
Besides, even if that were the case, he might not have the strength to open the passage to hell, and it would be even more difficult to travel through the hell space.
Just like when I entered this space just now, if grandma hadn't protected me, I would have been frozen to death.
I don’t know what level I have reached before I can be unaffected by the environment in the hell space. It feels like a very distant thing.
"Ahhhhh..." Teacher Qiao's shrill screams cut through my heart like a knife. I looked at her blankly, not knowing how long she would have to endure the pain here.
"Hey, Xiao An, let's go. I brought you here today. Firstly, I want you to feel the feeling of soul traveling through space, which will be helpful to you in the future. Secondly, I also want you to experience the suffering of all living beings. Let's go home." Grandma. After saying that, his body flew up.
"Teacher Qiao." I subconsciously grabbed Teacher Qiao's body, and the image in my mind was of her being sucked into the vortex, kneeling down and begging me to take care of He Huanhuan.
