There are many evil ghosts in the underworld, the eighteenth level of hell, and the Yin Mountain. Evil ghosts come here every day. Suddenly Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva senses that the spiritual platform is very clear, and his path is clear.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva thanked the two of them and said, "Little monk Ksitigarbha, thank you two fellow Taoists for your enlightenment. I now know where the Tao is."
"Do you really want to do this? Do you know the consequences?"
"The young monk knows, but this is the Buddhist way of the young monk"
"That's all"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva knelt on the ground and swore an oath: "Disciple Ksitigarbha of Hinayana Buddhism, today I swear to the way of heaven, earth, and humanity. Only when all sentient beings are saved can I realize Bodhi. If hell is not empty, I swear that I will not become a Buddha. In view of the way of heaven, earth, and humanity." Finally, the three realms had a feeling.
The grand vow moved the three realms of heaven, earth, and people. People in the three realms agreed to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's vow, and then a powerful force of merit from the three realms went straight to the six realms of reincarnation.
The merits of the three paths caused turmoil in the world, attracting the attention of the powerful people in the prehistoric world. The Many Treasures Tathagata and other people in Hinayana Buddhism also paid attention to the merits of the three paths. Even the saints of the three paths also paid attention to the Yinshan Mountain in the underworld.
When the three merits came to the Yin Mountain in the underworld, 20% of them flew out to Hou Yi and Kong Xuan. They put the three merits directly into Xiu. After being baptized by the three merits, their cultivation became more pure.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva absorbed 83% of the merits. At this time, his cultivation level broke through the threshold of the quasi-sage path. From Daluo Jinxian to the early stage of quasi-sage, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's cultivation level did not stop at the early stage of quasi-sage. He rushed to the middle stage of quasi-sage in an instant. stop.
In the quasi-sage period, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's light shines throughout the underworld, and the ghost cultivators in the underworld have also improved to a higher level. Many ghost cultivators and evil ghosts have been baptized by the Buddha's light and directly entered Theravada Buddhism.
The Three Paths of Quasi-Saints gathered the merits of the Three Paths and was the first one in the world. The great masters of the prehistoric era discovered that the Three Paths of Quasi-Saints Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could not leave the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If he came out, he would not be the Three Paths of Quasi-Saints, but the peak of Daluo Jinxian. .
Everyone in Theravada Buddhism was also very happy, because the first three quasi-sages of the prehistoric times were in the Hinayana Buddhism, but soon they also knew that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could not leave the underworld.
The Tathagata Many Treasures and the three great Bodhisattvas Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Jinxian Bodhisattva secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Tathagata Many Treasures was afraid that the three quasi-sages like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would crush them. Avalokitesvara, Manjusri and Jinxian hated that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was higher than them in cultivation. He entered the quasi-sage realm first and was the first person in the three realms of prehistoric heaven and earth to have merit.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva put away the Buddha's light all over his body and became an ordinary Buddha in the Yin Mountain of the underworld. He bowed to Hou Yi and Kong Xuan again. After he became a quasi-sage of three virtues, he knew the identity of the two people in front of him, and then he saluted again. "The young monk Ksitigarbha has seen the two valley masters Hou Yi and Kong Xuan. I hope the two valley masters will not blame the young monk for his previous behavior." ".
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you have accomplished the Three Paths of Merit and are a quasi-sage. Do you have any regrets?" Hou Yi said.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was shocked when he heard Hou Yi's words. He understood the meaning of Hou Yi's words. If the hell is not empty for one day, you will not be able to achieve the status of a saint. The six realms of reincarnation are the places where people’s souls return after death, reincarnation, and where evil spirits gather every day. Death, how can there be an empty day in the six realms of reincarnation hell?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled faintly, cupped his hands with Hou Yi and Kong Xuan and said, "Two valley masters, my greatest vow is to save all sentient beings and never regret it."
"Okay, okay, okay, first the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Underworld and then Theravada Buddhism"
"First the six realms of samsara and then Theravada Buddhism..." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said several times, but he still couldn't understand the first six realms of samsara and then Theravada Buddhism.
Hou Yi also saw that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was confused and said, "In the future, you will understand."
At this time, a white ling flew over and separated the Yin Mountain from the underworld, turning it into a river. At this time, there were evil spirits who wanted to cross the river, and they turned into ashes as soon as they stepped into the river.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva immediately went in to rescue the evil ghosts that were heading towards the River Styx, and then reached out to protect the evil ghosts in the Yin Mountain.
The River Styx is weak and deep, and goose feathers cannot float, and reed flowers sink to the bottom. No one in the ancient world can cross it. Anyone who has cultivated under the quasi-sage will be swallowed up by the weak water of the River Styx, leaving no trace of his soul.
The evil ghosts in the Yin Mountain can only enter and cannot leave. Only the ghosts who are saved by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva have the opportunity to go to Hinayana Buddhism and become a Buddhist believer, and no longer have to suffer from the Yin Mountain.
The ancestral shaman of Xingtian appeared on the opposite side of Yinshan Mountain and said, "Ksitigarbha, please do well. You must transform the ghosts that need to be transformed in Yinshan Mountain, and you are not allowed to step out of Yinshan Mountain again."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard the words of Xingtian Ancestral Witch and understood the truth. He said, "The little monk Ksitigarbha, obeys the decree of Queen Pingxin."
With a flash of divine light, Hou Yi and Kong Xuan appeared beside Xing Tian, the ancestral witch, and said, "Brother Xing Tian, Queen Ping Xin is okay."
After Kong Xuan and Xing Tian handed over to each other, Xing Tian responded to Hou Yi's words and said, "Everything is fine with the empress."
Xing Tian looked at a Buddha's light in the Yin Mountain opposite and said, "The three merits of the quasi-sage will disrupt the operation of the underworld, so the empress has to isolate it in the Yin Mountain."
It turns out that the three virtues rushed into the six-path reincarnation underworld, transformed many ten evil spirits, and caused chaos in the underworld. If all souls (evil ghosts) are baptized by the Buddha's light of the three virtues, no more babies will be born, and no more babies will be born, nor will they disturb the mortal world.
The merits of the three paths bring together the laws of the three paths. There will be no evil ghosts in the underworld and the soul will not be transformed.
Hou Yi and Kong Xuan returned to the Fengming Valley from the Six Paths of Reincarnation. They practiced the three paths of merit in seclusion. At this time, they were also at the peak of Hunyuan Quasi-Sage cultivation.
Hundreds of years later in the prehistoric world, the journey to the west ushered in the Calamity Calamity (the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism). The Tathagata Many Treasures was guided, and the Two Saints' Dharma Decree was received, and he came to heaven to discuss the journey to the West to Calamity Calamity with Emperor Haotian and Taishang Laojun. things.
Huaguo Mountain is a blessed place in Dongsheng Shenzhou. On the top of Huaguo Mountain, there is a huge stone, which has been absorbing the aura of Huaguo Mountain since ancient times. In several Yuanhui times, spiritual consciousness was born in the colorful stone. It did not break through the ancient times and continued to absorb spiritual energy.
This colorful stone is the goddess Nuwa. After the ancient war between the witches and the witches, Gonggong, the ancestral witches, could not bear the fate of the witch clan, so he hit his head on Mount Buzhou. After the collapse of the Tianzhu, the floods above the nine heavens never stopped. Where it collapsed, it flowed into the wild land.
Empress Nuwa could not bear the suffering of all living beings from the flood, so she collected colorful spiritual stones to repair the sinkhole. After mending the sky, Empress Nuwa discovered that there was still a colorful stone left, so she threw the colorful stone into the wild land.
The creatures inside the colorful stones are the ones who traveled to the west to measure the calamity and should cope with the calamity.
The birth of a creature inside the colorful stone shocked the three realms, and then entered the journey to the west for calamity (the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism). Since then, Buddhism has been introduced from the West to the East. Taoism has become weak again and is no longer able to resist Buddhism.
As a disciple of Xuan Dynasty, I can only close the gate of Bajing Palace in Shouyang Mountain and ignore the prehistoric affairs.
