The general was walking slowly on the mountain road with a very casual attitude. When he heard Ye Fengyu's question, he replied calmly: "I'm not familiar with him, but I've heard many stories about him!"
The voice paused for a moment, and the general continued: "Many people call him Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but he doesn't look like a Bodhisattva at all!"
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
Ye Fengyu frowned. There seemed to be this name in the legend, but Ye Fengyu couldn't remember exactly what legend it was. He had almost forgotten all the legends he had read in the past!
He couldn't help but ask: "Why do you say it doesn't look like a Bodhisattva at all? What should a Bodhisattva look like?"
Hearing this, the general suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Ye Fengyu and asked: "Is there a Bodhisattva in this world? What should a Bodhisattva look like? Are there immortals in this world? What should an immortal look like? You ask me, I I don’t know, at least judging from normal people’s concept of Bodhisattva, that guy doesn’t think about Bodhisattva at all!”
"What's the explanation?" Ye Fengyu asked!
The general thought for a moment, as if recalling some past events, and then said after a long time: "Thousands of years ago, he was a Buddhist monk who attended the Buddha's lectures. However, due to some things, he was unable to release the Buddha in the end, which caused the backlash of his skills and led him to become possessed!"
"But this is different from a real demon. This is a state of half Buddha and half demon!"
The general explained calmly, Ye Fengyu listened calmly and nodded slightly!
If it is true as the general said, then this guy is indeed nothing like a Bodhisattva. He is half Buddha and half demon. He becomes a Buddha with one thought and becomes a devil with one thought. These two thoughts are intertwined with each other, and his state of mind is impure!
However, while Ye Fengyu was thinking, the general's voice sounded again: "But do you think this is over?"
"Is there anything else?" Ye Fengyu was a little surprised. It seems that things are indeed not simple!
The general nodded and said, "It is said that Ksitigarbha, because he has too deep Buddhist thoughts, or obsessions, and a very compassionate heart, he wants to save all the prisoners who have been tortured for generations in the netherworld hell." !”
"However, because he couldn't achieve what he wanted, he had inner demons, and he fell into a state of half Buddha and half devil. The Buddha couldn't bear to see him suffer like this, so he sent him to the underworld to fight with the King of Hades. It’s become an agreement!”
"What agreement?"
The general said: "Ksitigarbha stayed in the Senluo Hell to save the suffering souls, so as to alleviate the sins of Pluto, but Pluto promised to stop the evil deeds of wanton harm to humans in the Yang Realm. It can be said that, This agreement is beneficial to both parties!"
Hearing this, Ye Fengyu couldn't help but nodded. If this was the case, it would indeed be beneficial to both parties, but since this story would be spread, it would definitely not be that simple!
Sure enough, after a brief pause, the general continued: "But Ksitigarbha and even the Buddha miscalculated the insidiousness of Pluto. He took advantage of the loopholes in nature to ensure that he would not poison humans in the Yang Realm. Still constantly searching for human souls and seducing them for their lives!”
"Um?"
Hearing this, Ye Fengyu was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "The loophole in creation? How to explain it?"
As if aware of Ye Fengyu's confusion, the general simply stopped, sat down on a stone beside the road, and explained calmly: "In other words, Pluto treats the world of ordinary humans in the Yang Realm as a pig farm!" He intercepted a trace of the power of creation and created it into a book of life and death. Every time a human being is born, the person's name will automatically appear in the book of life and death. Then, Pluto will write a lifespan casually. Once the lifespan is reached, a ghost will come to pick him up. Shan, go and capture that man’s soul!”
"In this way, he didn't wantonly poison the human world, but he didn't let it go completely either!"
The general turned to look at Ye Fengyu who was sitting next to him and asked, "For example, if you raise a bunch of pigs, will you kill them indiscriminately?"
Hearing this, Ye Fengyu was stunned, it seemed that he really didn't know how to do it!
"No, not only no, sometimes you will feed them, but there will always be a time to kill them, because you still need profit income!"
The general took a deep breath and continued: "The same goes for Pluto. In this way, the souls he keeps collecting from the human world are allowed to reenter the reincarnation when they are in a good mood. When they are in a bad mood, they are scattered in the underworld. If it's even worse, you'll be imprisoned directly in Senluo Hell!"
"But, here in Senluo Hell, Ksitigarbha is still trying to save these souls. But in this way, the souls he needs to save are countless, and they may never be completed!"
At this point in the general's story, Ye Fengyu finally understood something. This Pluto is really insidious!
After a moment of silence, the general stood up and continued to walk forward. However, Ye Fengyu asked again: "But doesn't the Buddha know? If he knew, why didn't he do something?"
"Buddha naturally knew it, but after all, because the book of life and death is a loophole in nature, there is nothing we can do about it. The reason is that some people are going to die after all. In the previous agreement, Pluto only promised not to poison those living people. As for the The soul after death is determined by the book of life and death created by nature!"
"After the loopholes in nature were exploited, Ksitigarbha also wanted to break the contract, but he found that his soul that came to the underworld had also been locked in the underworld by nature, and he could not leave!"
Listening to the story, Ye Fengyu frowned more and more, and asked, "Is there no possibility for Ksitigarbha Ksitigarbha to escape?"
The general explained: "Yes, but that possibility has become almost impossible!"
"Why?" Ye Fengyu didn't understand very much. If it's possible, why do you say it's impossible?
The general was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, how to explain in the most concise and complete way, and then said: "Only when Ksitigarbha reaches the realm of ascending to heaven, can he break through the shackles of creation and break out of the underworld!"
"But he has inner demons. Only by liberating all the souls in Senluo Hell can he reach the heavenly realm!"
"However, Pluto's methods prove that the souls in the Senluo Hell that are full of resentment and evil spirits are endless. Once a group is saved, a new group will come in, and there will be no end!"
"Therefore, the possibility of Ksitigarbha ascending to heaven has become impossible, and the possibility of breaking through the shackles has become impossible!"
"For so many years, Ksitigarbha probably didn't realize that he was here to save these souls, but he eventually became one of these souls, so he became one of the underworld tribe!"
"Now, he has become a guy who is neither a Buddha nor a demon, nor a ghost nor an immortal. It can be said that he is nothing!"
"In your words, it may be a combination of several 'Schrödinger's Cats'!"
Ye Fengyu: "..."
This metaphor is indeed a bit surprising, but judging from what the general explained before, the so-called Ksitigarbha is in such a state!
One thought can make you a Buddha, another thought can turn you into a devil, and perhaps, another thought, you can become a ghost at any time, but the thought of becoming an immortal cannot be achieved after all!
After the story was told, Ye Fengyu was silent for a long time. He didn't know what attitude to use to judge the right or wrong of this matter. In other words, he was not qualified to judge the right and wrong of a person's inner demons!
When Ye Fengyu thought of the word inner demon, he also inadvertently thought of Gong Jin whom he met in Luanyun City. That guy was under the control of the inner demon at that time, but that inner demon was relatively weak and could easily be escaped with the help of others. Or eliminate it!
But now Ksitigarbha in the Senluo Hell may not be that simple. If you want to get rid of it, you can only rely on yourself, no one can help!
Seeing Ye Fengyu's thoughtful look, the general continued: "I believe you have heard that Xiao Qingzi was also a person a thousand years ago, but his final end was that he went into seclusion and became possessed. I guess he must have There is some kind of obsession!”
Ye Fengyu recalled the conversation with Xiao Qingzi, nodded and said, "I know this. He has always wanted to lead his army into that place. He did this in the Yang Realm, and he still does it in the Underworld. The thoughts will never die!”
"that place?"
Listening to Ye Fengyu's words, the general also frowned and asked tentatively with some confusion. After seeing Ye Fengyu nodded, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked in his eyes, and then shook his head with a wry smile!
"If my guess is correct, the current Xiao Qingzi is probably a half-demon soul, or in other words, he is now controlled by the inner demon, but his obsession is too firm, which leads him to I don’t care about other people and things other than my obsession, my inner demons are hidden too deep!”
"But it's often this kind of person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and may lose control at any time. You should be more careful when you come into contact with him in the future!"
Looking at the general in front of him and listening to his words, Ye Fengyu also felt a little scared. Fortunately, he didn't fall too deep into this so-called "cooperation"!
"I know, thank you very much, Sister Jiangchen!"
Ye Fengyu nodded solemnly and said thank you sincerely!
In this world, there are not many people who can really tell me these true words, especially on the journey to immortality, there are even fewer people who will tell me to be careful!
I tell you to be careful, but it depends on how careful you are!
When the general heard this, his expression became a little weird, especially when he heard Ye Fengyu call him a name, he couldn't help but feel a little headache, and he said helplessly: "How about I take off my pants and show you? Otherwise, I think you are calling me this name." Questions may form obsessions!”
Ye Fengyu: "..."
This sentence made Ye Fengyu stunned on the spot. However, when he saw that the general was actually preparing to undress and take off his clothes, especially when he saw the general who had a woman's body and a man's face, he couldn't help but shouted: "Get out of here, I'm not so hungry that I'm so selective about my food!"
Kicked out while speaking!
"Hahaha!" The general laughed strangely, turned around, dodged Ye Fengyu's kick, and ran up the mountain road as if he was running away!
Ye Fengyu shook his head helplessly and followed slowly!
