Master Jin Chan went to the Yinshan Temple. After all, he considered himself a Buddhist. Although he had vowed not to become a monk when he came, he still went to the Yinshan Dojo to pay homage to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"Disciple Jin Chan, pay homage to the Bodhisattva."
If the most trustworthy immortal Buddha in the world is Guanyin Bodhisattva, then in the underworld...it is undoubtedly Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Buddhism is able to occupy a place in the underworld, and even share some of the powers of the six realms of reincarnation, all because of this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is revered as the leader of the underworld, which is recognized by the heaven. Normally, the emperor Fengdu does not ask about the political affairs of the underworld, and the ten palaces of Yama in the underworld also obey the decrees of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
It's just that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva always knows how to measure his limits. He only guards his Yinshan Dojo and will not easily interfere in the affairs of the underworld's underworld... Moreover, when the underworld encounters trouble, he will take the initiative to help.
When the monkeys were making trouble in the underworld, he wanted to take action, but the Jade Emperor issued a decree and told him not to pay attention.
"Amitabha."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took a brief look at Master Jinchan and said with a smile: "Since you don't want to be a monk in the next life, why do you come to Yinshan Mountain?"
Master Jin Chan bowed again and said sincerely: "Disciple is a Buddhist after all. He knows very well that fate plays tricks on people... often they don't get what they want. After drinking a bowl of Meng Po soup, who can say what will happen in the next life? What about Deqing? Most likely he won’t fulfill his disciple’s wish.”
"Hehehehe." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and said to Master Jinchan: "With your temperament, I don't want a poor monk to help you retain the memory of this life and reincarnate."
Master Jin Chan also smiled and said: "If I retain my memory and reincarnate...it would be better not to reincarnate."
Having said this, Master Jinchan paused for a moment and said, "Bodhisattva, I have something unclear."
"Tell me."
"Why can Master Tripitaka suddenly awaken the true spirit of his previous life?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva turned the beads with one hand, pushed the palm of the other hand to his chest, and said with a smile: "Do you want to imitate it?"
Master Jin Chan shook his head: "I'm just curious... Going west to obtain scriptures is originally a test for ordinary monks, but this time he has awakened Jin Chanzi's true spirit. Has the original intention of the test been lost?"
"Amitabha." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva recited the Buddha's name: "This matter... is a heavenly secret that cannot be leaked, and those who know it will know it."
Master Jin Chan was not surprised. He bowed his hands to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and stopped performing Buddhist rituals. He seemed to be adapting to the life after reincarnation in advance. "In this case, Jin Chan took his leave."
Master Jin Chan did not go directly to Naihe Bridge to jump in line like he did in previous reincarnations.
Instead, he took a different path and went to the Gate of Hell. He was also prepared to go to hell...
Although he is very vicious, he still has to follow some rules.
This incident alerted King Yama, who sent Cui Pan to pick him up and sent him directly to Naihe Bridge.
"The Master was purified by the flames of the Great Sun Buddha and obtained a pure soul, completely free of karma... and worthy of being reincarnated as a heavenly being."
"No." Master Jin Chan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Just reincarnate as a human being."
Cui Pan looked a little hesitant.
"Why, is there any difficulty in this matter?"
Cui Pan shook his head and said: "That's not true... I just feel a little surprised."
After all, when a living being reincarnates, the best way to reincarnate is the way of heaven, also known as the way of gods...
"Since the Master is willing... even if he is reincarnated in the human realm, he should also enjoy wealth and melt..."
"Slow down." Master Jin Chan waved his hand again and said, "I would like to transfer to an ordinary family, preferably from a poor family..."
He reincarnated not to enjoy happiness, but to practice...
"this..."
This was the first time Cui Pan had heard of such a request.
Yama has already given instructions before coming here, and as long as the request is not too excessive, he can comply with it.
Are Master Jinchan’s demands too much?
Cui Pan raised his hands to Master Jin Chan and said, "The realm of Master Jinchan is beyond my reach."
We sent Master Jinchan all the way to Naihe Bridge. Because Cui Pan led the way, the ghosts lining up in front dispersed one after another. Master Jinchan, who didn't want to jump in line, drank the Mengpo soup first. He became confused and could no longer tell the difference. Southeast, northwest, and thus escape into the six paths of reincarnation.
...
world.
Because the matter in Hua'an Mansion had been dealt with by True Lord Erlang, Brother Meishan had been dispatched, and Master Jin Chan had already entered reincarnation. Master Fahai and his disciples did not stay here for a long time, so they went to the Flame Mountain with True Lord Erlang Yang Jian.
The Great Sage bears a great deal of responsibility for what happened to the Flame Mountain; and Heaven has been neglecting it until now, which is also Heaven's dereliction of duty. Therefore, this time both parties worked together to resolve this disaster.
It was now past midsummer and entering the third autumn.
It is said that the weather is getting cooler, but after all, as we are getting closer to the Flame Mountain, it is always steaming along the way.
"Just a mountain of flames can burn an area of land and water so hot..." The Great Sage wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said to everyone: "I heard that there is a kingdom of Sihari where the sun sets, commonly known as Tian. At the end...the sun contains the true fire of the sun, falling between the Western Sea, like fire quenching water, and then boiling...but I don't know what the scene is like in those realms."
"In ordinary times, it doesn't matter...Only during the Shenyou period, the king will send people to the city, beating drums and blowing horns, mixing the severity of the sea." The speaker was Yang Jian. As the judicial god of the three realms, the national conditions of all countries in the world are all important. He also remembered it well. Before taking office, he made a special trip to Yuquan Mountain and consulted his master Yuding for a long time. "If there is no sound of drums and horns, the children in the city will be killed."
"Strange thing." The great sage asked curiously: "The sound of the boiling sea can scare a child to death... Why is it that the sound of drums and horns can mix his ears and keep him safe?"
Yang Jian smiled and said: "This is the formation set up by the ancient immortals. The sound of the drums and horns can offset the boiling sea."
I see.
Everyone walked while talking, and after walking for more than sixty miles, they saw the Flame Mountain in front of them.
This mountain is the only way to the west, but there are eight hundred miles of flames, and there is no grass growing around it. It is said that the copper head and the iron body will turn into juice.
The Flame Mountain can stop mortals, but it is also difficult to resist the footsteps of Tang Seng and his disciples... But their trip was to extinguish the eternal flames of the Flame Mountain, not just to pass by this place.
Before coming, Xiao Bailong also came to explore the reality of the Flame Mountain.
It is said that there is no spring or autumn in this Flame Mountain, and it is hot all year round...but the people here are still able to survive here, of course there is a reason.
It's because there is a Cuiyun Mountain more than 1,400 miles away. There is an immortal cave in the mountain called Bajiao Cave. There is an immortal in the cave called Iron Fan Immortal.
This iron fan fairy also has a magic weapon called the banana fan. People here pray for it once every ten years. With four pigs and four goats, red flowers on the outside and inside, fragrant fruits in season, chickens and geese, fine wine, bathed in piety, worshiped at the fairy mountain, asked him to come out of the cave, and performed a favor here.
One fan extinguishes the fire, the second fan generates wind, and the third fan makes it rain. The people here sow seeds and harvest them in time, so they can get grains to maintain their health.
And when Xiao Bailong told everyone this, Yang Jian also revealed the origin of the Iron Fan Fairy, who was the Rakshasa girl, the first wife of the powerful Bull Demon King, called Princess Iron Fan.
At that time, the Great Sage complained repeatedly after hearing this, "If that red boy hadn't caused mischief and asked Master to save him... Otherwise, we could have gone to this sister-in-law to borrow the banana fan to extinguish the fire, which would have saved us from going into the Flame Mountain to look for that person." Fire bricks are dangerous.”
"Princess Iron Fan is different from the cannibalistic Bull Demon King and his son. She is an immortal who practices seriously." Yang Jian naturally knew the grudges between Master Tripitaka and his disciples and the Bull Demon King's family.
This is the revenge of killing a son, and it is almost impossible to resolve it.
Moreover, the Bull Demon King gathered demon kings for a reunion in Hezhou, Xiniu, and this matter also caused a lot of fuss. Although he has not come to seek bad luck for Master Tripitaka and his disciples until now,... Yang Jian knew that it was the Bull Demon King who did not come to find Master Tripitaka, etc. Master Sanzang will also go to Jilei Mountain himself when he has free time.
Killing demons is exactly what Master Tripitaka wants, not to mention a ferocious demon like the Bull Demon King.
The longer time goes on, the more monsters will go to Jilei Mountain to gather for righteousness, and the more they will be in line with Master Sanzang's wishes. Finally, he has a chance to catch them all, and doesn't it also save him the hard work of pretending to be a bait and fishing along the way?
Let’s talk about outside Cuiyun Mountain.
The Bull Demon King, who had gathered a group of monsters in Jilei Mountain, was wandering down the mountain at the moment.
After finally reaching the entrance of Basho Cave, he saw that the two doors were tightly closed... This was his home, but he never expected that he could not return now, and this Cuiyun Mountain... he looked at it too. It’s getting stranger.
This Cuiyun Mountain is a rare and blessed place. The mountain is made of stone as its bones, and the stone is the essence of the soil. The green phoenixes sing, and the living water hides the dragon. It is a thousand-year-old monument and a fairyland that has been around for thousands of years.
But Cuiyun Mountain in the past was not like this at all... At that time, Cuiyun Mountain was filled with evil spirits and fierce, how could there be any such fairy scene?
The Bull Demon King regained his composure and stepped forward to call the door: "Open the door, open the door, I'm back."
"roll--!"
