The king of darkness in the underground world—King Ksitigarbha (cang)!
Ksitigarbha (zang) King!
Shen Gongbao was suddenly stunned, his heart was extremely shaken, and he was speechless for a while.
My title is Ksitigarbha.
And when he was in the Yuanyang Realm, his Dharma name was Du'e. He once conquered the Yin Mountains, saved thousands of ghosts, and single-handedly suppressed the endless hell.
Although the matter was a bit outrageous, Shen Gongbao still couldn't help but think about the Great Wish Ksitigarbha and Abi Hell.
Be patient and motionless like the earth, meditate deeply like a secret treasure.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is famous for his vows and honors his great vows. He has made great vows: Only when all living beings are saved can he realize Bodhi. Until hell is empty, he vows not to become a Buddha.
This is a Bodhisattva closely related to hell, reincarnation, salvation, and great wishes. He stands side by side with the Great Compassion Guanyin, the Great Samantabhadra, and the Great Wisdom Manjusri. He is the Great Wish Ksitigarbha and is one of the four great Bodhisattvas.
Although it seemed to have nothing to do with him, Shen Gongbao thought deeply about his three senior brothers, senior sister, Taoist Cihang, Taoist Manjusri, and Taoist Samantabhadra.
Suddenly, everything seemed not so outrageous.
After all, the fundamental teachings of Buddhism are compassion, wisdom, conduct, and aspiration. Among the four great Bodhisattvas, three are the Immortals who explain the teachings. What’s wrong with having one more? It’s not inappropriate at all, but it gives people a very reasonable feeling.
A feeling that it is so, that it is so, unexpected and reasonable.
"There is God's will in the dark. Is this the general trend?"
"It's natural, but it's unstoppable. By the time it's discovered, it's a done deal."
Not knowing that he was a guest in the dream, Shen Gongbao felt a little melancholy, but he didn't resist much. Life is like a play, and everyone is acting.
Ksitigarbha is just a label, an identity, and a persona, you can just interpret it to your heart's content.
The worst case scenario is that I will follow my three senior brothers to start a business in the West, and the four great Bodhisattvas will join forces to evade the Tathagata Buddha.
The only thing I wonder about is why I should choose myself.
There seems to be no similarity or resonance between Shen Gongbao and Ksitigarbha.
"Is it because both of them have been sentenced to life imprisonment? One is locked up in the dark room in Beihai, and the other is in the dark room in hell."
Shen Gongbao complained silently in his heart, immersed in his own thoughts.
But in Huang Laojun's opinion, the Golden Emperor's expression was calm and motionless, which must have a deep meaning.
Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the title of Ksitigarbha? !
"Yes, the Golden Emperor could have been in charge of the underworld. This Netherworld was his possession, but he gave it to me for various reasons."
"It's really insincere for me to give him half of what originally belonged to him."
At this thought, Huang Laojun took a deep breath and knew that he had just taken charge of the Netherworld, and there was a great enemy like the Emperor of Heaven outside, so he had to get the support of the Golden Emperor as an ally.
The Golden Emperor gave him the book of life and death, so he couldn't be stingy either.
Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, he took out an original spiritual treasure that was conceived at the birth of the Netherworld.
"Ksitigarbha took office, and Netherworld couldn't congratulate him."
"It's a small gift, please accept it."
Huang Laojun grabbed the void, and a golden tin staff spiritual treasure appeared in his hand. It had a ghostly aura and reflected the meaning of life and death.
Shen Gongbao looked around and saw the precious light flashing, the golden glow flowing, the lotus and flowing clouds girding his waist, holding a wisdom pearl on it, the jingling sound was everywhere, and all the ghosts were dressed, and the golden tin vibrated and the hell opened.
The two strands of wheel rotating symbolize the two truths of truth and common truth, the wisdom method; the six swaying rings represent the six paths of reincarnation and the cycle of cause and effect.
Duan is a mysterious spiritual treasure, a powerful weapon from the underworld.
"Thank you, Emperor."
Shen Gongbao took a deep breath and took the tin staff. He saw the compassionate face of the Buddha on the top of the staff and the seal of Dharma. Suddenly a page of scripture flowed through his heart, as if he had written it himself, and he couldn't help but read it:
"All sentient beings who have not yet been liberated have unstable nature and consciousness, bad habits have accumulated karma, good habits have resulted, and they are born into different situations, doing good or evil."
"The five paths of reincarnation have no rest for the time being. They move through kalpas of dust and confusion and obstacles."
"Like a fish swimming in a net, it will be a long stream, slipping in and out, only to be caught in the net again."
"I should be worried about you and your generation. Since you have fulfilled your past vows, reaffirmed your oaths through many calamities, and saved your sinful generations, why should I worry about you?"
…
As soon as he finished speaking, the gold and tin shuddered, reflecting on the universe, and countless floating universes appeared and disappeared like bubbles, flashing in his eyes, just like when he joined the Taiyi Suffering Heavenly God God System and condensed the Suffering Heart Seal.
You can use Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva as a guide to sense all the heavens and realms and have a predestined relationship with the universe.
"This means: "Only when all sentient beings are saved can we realize Bodhi. If the hell is not empty, we will never become a Buddha. "
Shen Gongbao whispered, and the tin staff in his hand and the golden Buddha transformed into his own appearance, and instead of forming the Dharma seal, he applied the fearless seal.
"Buzz!"
Another melodious and long-lasting vibration sounded, echoing throughout the Netherworld Pure Land, opening up the nineteen-layered small world.
The nineteen-layer small world is half attached to the netherworld and is in a state of dissociation. The further you go down, the slower the flow of time becomes. When you reach the last level of endless hell, only the endless silence and darkness remain. This stagnation.
On the dark road, the only color is the blooming flowers of the other side, as gorgeous as the karma fire, blooming at this moment, welcoming Shen Gongbao to move in.
"Congratulations to Fellow Taoist Jinhuang on your joyful arrival at the Taoist Temple."
Huang Laojun was shocked in his heart, but it didn't show on the surface. Even he, the Lord of the Netherworld, had never sensed that these small worlds existed in the Netherworld.
As soon as Shen Gongbao came, all of them opened up, as if they were born to prepare for him.
Just congratulations, after all, even spiritual treasures like Jin Xi have been given away, and there are not many small worlds left.
Shen Gongbao looked at the nineteen-story small world, nodded and said: "It's a good place, but it's a bit empty, and some facilities need to be added."
"What to add?" Huang Laojun said with a smile: "The little god is quite wealthy and is willing to help."
"No need."
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly and said: "You can't help with this matter. It depends on my methods, the God of Disasters."
As the god of disaster, he has experienced three projections in his life, and has been in charge of the laws of heaven and earth for many years. He is known as the wound of heaven, so he naturally has a plan in mind to punish sinners.
It's just that in the past, heaven was a symbol of light, so it was difficult to take it out at once.
Now that the underworld has been opened and the hell has been opened, it is just right to use darkness to intimidate the world, and to supplement the good with wonder. The intersection of yin and yang, one light and one dark, is the great road of heaven and earth.
"The first level of hell: the tongue-pulling hell, which deals with the punishments for slander, harming others, lying and deceiving, etc..."
"The second level of hell: Scissors Hell... The third level of hell: Iron Tree Hell... The fourth level of hell: Evil Mirror Hell..."
"Steamer Hell, Bronze Pillar Hell, Mountain of Swords Hell, Iceberg Hell, Oil Pot Hell, Cow Pit Hell, Stone Press Hell, Mortar Hell, Death in vain hell, Punishment Hell, Volcano Hell, Stone Mill Hell, Saw Blade Hell."
Shen Gongbao is like the creator of the world, holding a tin staff, stepping into the underworld, speaking the law, setting up one hell after another, and evolving countless scenes.
Don't talk about others, even Huang Laojun, an emperor of the generation who competed with the Emperor of Heaven, was frightened at this moment. He only felt that the Golden Emperor was ruthless and worthy of the role of the villain, and he could not be offended.
This kind of torture is simply beyond the imagination of God.
It must be a demon king to have such fantastic ideas.
A layer of hell rose from the ground to complete the netherworld. Shen Gongbao looked at the last small world and said with Tianxian in his mouth: "The nineteenth layer of endless hell!"
There is no criminal law in the endless hell. Eternal still time is the greatest criminal law and the greatest torture.
In the Infinite Hell, there is no perception. For those who fall into the Infinite Hell, even torture is a kind of enjoyment. But the Infinite Hell does not even have the concept of pain, only endless numbness.
Seeing the last level of hell, Huang Laojun became frightened and couldn't help but persuade him: "Jin Huang, isn't this punishment a bit too harsh? You can only kill people with a nod of the head, why bother?"
Shen Gongbao shook his head and said solemnly: "Without the use of thunderbolts, it is difficult to show the heart of a Bodhisattva. Without the angry eyes of Vajra, how can a Bodhisattva lower his eyebrows?"
"Only when there is righteousness can there be evil; only when there is sinking into the sea of suffering, can there be Bodhi wisdom; only when there is the suffering of hell, can there be transcendence and heaven."
"Heaven rewards good deeds, and Earth punishes them."
"Emperor Fengdu, you are no longer the God of the Earth or the Emperor of Heaven, but the Lord of the Netherworld!"
As soon as the words were spoken, it was like the sound of a big bell, stirring up confusion in the heart and clearing away the heavy fog.
Everything of yesterday died yesterday, and everything of today is born today.
Identity and status are no longer the same.
We cannot look at problems from the perspective of the living, but examine the underworld from the perspective of the dead.
Huang Laojun suddenly trembled, his heart turned over and over again, and he murmured in a low voice: "Give up the me of the past in exchange for the god of today, haha... There is no Huang Laojun in the world, only Emperor Fengdu of Netherworld .”
"Is this the price?"
"Escape from death, a glimmer of life, how can it be without price." Shen Gongbao said seriously: "Emperor Fengdu, what do you think?"
"Ksitigarbha is right." Emperor Fengdu nodded, having already made a choice in his heart. The Netherworld is his future territory, and he must manage it well.
"But..." Emperor Fengdu looked at the Infinite Hell and couldn't help but ask: "Who can go to this nineteenth level of hell?"
The nineteenth level of hell cannot be said to be hell, but a small dark room of eternity.
"I."
Shen Gongbao took a deep breath and solemnly said: "I will go to nineteen levels of hell."
"ha?"
For a moment, Emperor Fengdu was stunned. He created torture for himself and went to hell. He had never heard of such self-abuse behavior.
"I set up eighteen levels of hell, and the sins are heavy."
Shen Gongbao held the tin staff in his hand, and one scripture after another came to mind. His expression was peaceful and calm, but he said with great determination: "If I don't go to hell, who will."
"Only by experiencing this extreme pain can we bear the supreme cause and effect."
"Only when you understand all the catastrophes can you dare to say a word to save all sentient beings."
"If you want to achieve this goal, you must cultivate this mind."
Emperor Fengdu was silent for a long time. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't praise or belittle him. He could only sigh and said: "Fellow Taoist has great perseverance."
"After going through calamities and calamities, you can achieve positive results. If hell is not empty, you will never become a Buddha."
Shen Gongbao looked up towards Kunlun Mountain, showed a smile, clasped his hands and said: "Now I can pass the test of fraternity."
"One step closer to opening the God's Axe."
Practitioners have three realms: seeing themselves, seeing heaven and earth, and seeing all living beings.
The practice of going to hell is the beginning of meeting all sentient beings.
The oaths resounded, the ambitions were vast, and the feedback forces gathered in the dark, condensing Shen Gongbao's brand of the Lotus Lantern universe.
One world, one mark, one life, one projection. The Baolian Lantern universe is extremely special. It was opened up by Yuanshi Tianzun. Therefore, the disciples of Chanjiao can come in real form and transform into ancestral spirits. They play various roles to promote the evolution of heaven and earth and the transformation of the universe. Upgrade.
And all of them have excellent acting skills. At least when Shen Gongbao was serving as the Golden Emperor, he didn't find anyone revealing his secrets, except for King Yu Qingzhen who took the initiative to expose himself.
Only when the mission is over and the real body leaves the Lotus Lantern universe, will a brand of self and other be condensed and stay in this world to maintain the process of history.
However, something unexpected happened to Shen Gongbao this time, and his real body coexisted with his own, and he separated into two bodies.
One body, high in the palm of the hand for punishment, the golden emperor in the ninth heaven.
This body has gone through millions of tribulations, and has no fear of going to hell.
The god king, who was dressed in white imperial clothes, had eyes full of coldness, without a trace of emotion, full of divinity, like a machine, impartially upholding the laws of heaven and earth, and practicing the laws of heaven.
The monk in black gold and black clothes had a smile on his face and a peaceful and tolerant look on his face. He sympathized with all living beings and carried suffering and sin like the earth. He held a pearl in his left hand and a tin staff in his right hand, growing lotuses step by step, heading towards hell. .
There are countless sufferings in hell, and thousands of ghosts are wailing. Huang Laojun is the first god-king to die, but he is not the first living creature to die.
It's just that the cultivation of the creatures in the past was too shallow to carry the Netherworld personality. Only by sacrificing a god king can the path to reincarnation be opened up.
Before Emperor Fengdu appeared, there was no reincarnation, and all ghosts lived in a hazy state, swaying like weeds and blowing in the wind. One day, they might turn into soul particles, turn into Xiyi, and completely return to the world.
The moment hell appeared, many ghosts were pulled into the eighteenth level of hell and suffered various punishments. They wailed and cried, roared for mercy, cursed and begged, and all living beings were in various states of being.
Shen Gongbao walked into the first level of hell, rescued the next tortured ghost, and endured the suffering on his behalf. His tongue was pulled out again and again.
"Be willing to do good, practice silent meditation, and seek transcendence."
Shen Gongbao took advantage of the gap when his tongue grew out and asked with compassion on his face.
"Who the hell are you?!"
The rescued ghost was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic that he was out of the sea of suffering. He looked at the suffering Shen Gongbao, and immediately sneered and taunted loudly: "Bald head, your brain is not broken, right?"
Bald-headed Shen Gongbao nodded, already anticipating this scene. He picked up a tin stick and hit the ghost on the head, asking, "Are you willing to do good?"
"Fuck you!"
"Boom!"
The strength increased by three points.
"Are you willing to do good?"
"If you don't want to, get out!"
"Boom!"
The strength is three points stronger.
"Are you willing to do good?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Boom!"
The ghost held his head and cried loudly: "I am willing this time, why do I still knock?"
The bald Shen Gongbao smiled slightly and said: "This donor, have you ever heard of the properties of objects remaining at rest or moving in a straight line at a uniform speed?"
A ghost from a barbaric era:? ? ?
What the hell is this? I can understand every word, but I can’t understand them all together.
Bald Shen Gongbao calmly explained in good faith: "The property of an object remaining at rest or moving in a straight line at a uniform speed is called inertia."
"As the saying goes, it's easy to knock on."
