Chapter 2525 Eternity

In the end, there were only a few traces hanging on the wall and dripping on the ground, proving that She Disheng once existed.

Although Yama, the Maharaja of Chakravartin, entered the underworld, he still well inherited the tradition of having no door in hell, honorably handed over his position, and left opportunities to those who are more in need.

He didn't even sit on Yama's throne for a while. Although his body has disappeared, the residual warmth is still there.

Of course, he also thought of many ways to protect himself, such as absorbing ghosts and ghosts and forming the forces of the Wheel Palace. For example, he made friends with various Yang gods and sketched out the idea of ​​the so-called "Yin Tianzi". For example, contact the Mo family...

The King of Wheels can certainly serve as an important entrance for the Mohist family to open up the underworld, and the grudges between She Disheng and the Mohist family may be re-discussed.

Unfortunately, these operations take time.

After the battle in [Ji Ji Zang], Yin Guan didn't even take much rest before rushing into the nether world and crashing into the Yama Palace.

Of course, there is also She Disheng’s most important reliance——

He thought that the transcendent Ksitigarbha would protect the Palace of Yama and protect him, the strongest and most important Lord of Yama, and he indeed felt the grace of Ksitigarbha.

But [True Ksitigarbha] and [Jijizo] are completely different. The latter is a specific existence that has been eliminated. Although the former also has a specific form - "walking on the land of the underworld, covering all the bones with hands and feet, and transforming the souls of the dead" - it is already a regular existence. .

For [True Ksitigarbha], the only thing that matters is order.

"King of Wheels" is very important, but "She Disheng" is not.

Jiang Wang, who participated in the end of [Jiji Zang], had rich experience in dealing with this kind of existence, and could easily "persuade" him.

Although the Wheel-turning King is sitting in the Yama Palace, he is called the Great King of one side, and he has Ksitigarbha above him, and below him there are divine soldiers, ghosts, and no plans. When Yin Guan came to kill him, he was actually naked and alone, with no reinforcements at all!

Yin Guan was quite calm during the whole killing process, and he didn't feel any emotion after killing She Disheng. He only glanced at Bihen and turned around, saying calmly: "They clearly saw She Disheng sending them a message, but they didn't take the opportunity to take action. A desperate fight. It seems I overestimated their courage."

Of course the monks knew who this 'them' was, and said somewhat amusingly: "Is it true that he betrayed She Disheng just like he betrayed you?"

"He betrayed us." Yin Guan corrected.

The monk of all beings gently flipped his palms, brushed away the dust in Suying Palace, and said casually: "I guess they are no longer in the underworld."

Yin Guan closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then curled his lips and said, "I even gave up my priesthood."

In a sense, the Palace of Yama is to the underworld, just like the Taixu Pavilion is to the illusion of Taixu.

If there really is someone who can completely control the Yama Palace, get the support of [True Ksitigarbha], and then subdue all parties and unify the underworld, the idea of ​​"Son of the Underworld" is not all empty talk.

In this case, the priesthood of Yama in the Yama Palace is a clearly visible path to the Yangshen, and will surely occupy a key position in the future pattern of the underworld.

If Yin Guan were in this position, he would definitely fight to the death.

If you survive this time, the sea will be brighter, the sky will be brighter, and you will have an infinite future.

She Disheng had an ideal that must be realized and a position as the Yang God that she could not give up, so she stayed and gambled.

But the Rook King and the City King were as cautious as ever. The priesthood that I had worked so hard for a while ago was thrown away. I would rather have nothing than play the same gambling table with King Qin Guang.

"With your current strength, as long as you have a name, no matter where they escape, they should not be able to escape your curse, right?" asked the monk.

"How should I put it... There are still many talented people in our organization. They all know me well and have been prepared for my methods. Just like She Disheng just now, I didn't curse him to death at the first time because he Use the rune puppet to replace your life."

Yin Guan said calmly: "I don't know what means those two guys used, and I can't find any trace for a while."

Because he couldn't trace it and the curse was unbreakable, he started from Bizhen Palace and Taihe Palace, trying to follow the clues through the clergy of City King and Wuguan King - but in the end, these two were completely separated from the priesthood of the underworld. Escape before danger.

How on earth did he escape from the priesthood under She Disheng's nose and leave She Disheng here alone to hold the vat?

He was a little curious!

What a talent.

"It's really not surprising." The monk said.

"They are lucky." Yin Guan retracted his long and thin fingers and hid them in his sleeves.

He has long been aware of betrayal and does not expect anyone's loyalty.

There is not even a word of "hate" to be said about the Rigguan King and the City King - don't you know what they are? If he was truly loyal, Yin Guan would have to warn himself.

The only difference between these two bastards and She Disheng is that they are not responsible for the death of King Chu Jiang.

So if he can be killed easily, he doesn't mind doing it easily. If it doesn't go well...just depend on your mood.

There were inscriptions carved by Sanskrit in the main hall, and the monks looked at them quietly for a while.

After he finished reading, Yin Guan asked: "You're already here, aren't you going to sit in your Mingchen Palace?"

The monk said: "If you really need it, I will go."

The feud between Yin Guan and Jing Guo was already over when Yinlou Jiangyue made peace. With Lou Jiangyue's death and Lou Yue falling into a demon state, both parties have a common enemy.

Today, Yin Guan is no longer in the difficult position he was in when he formed Hell Gateless, and he also used his merits to clear the way in the face of [Ji Ji Zang]. But after killing She Disheng, he still had two truly terrifying enemies.

One is called "Shen Xia", and the other is called "Seven Hatreds".

Shenxia is the pinnacle of the world's world, and Qihen is a transcendent and supreme existence.

For Yin Guan now, detachment is still a very distant thing. But there is indeed a road in front of us——

What She Disheng said is the Son of Heaven.

No matter who you are, no matter what path you have taken before, if you can bring relief to the underworld once and for all, you will be able to achieve transcendence.

But they all understand that in this day and age, no one can succeed in the underworld.

As powerful as Hong Junyan, there are many obstacles on the way to promote the hegemony of the Li Kingdom. Although the underworld is vast, it cannot accommodate a strange force.

Ming Tianzi is indeed a piece of fat meat. The two people standing here are willing to help each other try it, but neither of them has the appetite to taste it themselves.

Yin Guan yawned: "This body of yours is quite boring. You can't be a joke."

The monk said: "There is no need to force it open."

Yin looked at him and said, "See you next time."

As he spoke, he walked forward and pushed open the door of Suying Palace——

The shadowy gods and ghosts are all in the distance, and there are only two figures in crown clothes standing in the square outside the palace.

One is the King of Equality and the other is the King of Yama.

When the Chakravartin is in danger, of course he also seeks help from his dear colleagues. His colleagues couldn't bear to see his miserable state, so they closed the palace door silently. Only then did it come out.

King Pingping lowered his head and saluted: "Boss..."

King Yama prostrated directly and banged his forehead heavily on the ground: "Subordinates, please see the leader!"

At this moment, there is only Yin Guan left in Suying Palace. He is wearing a black robe and long hair. He walked out of the palace, looked up at the sky of the underworld, and without saying anything, walked past the standing King Ping Ping and the kneeling King Yama.

It was as if they had never known each other, and they had nothing to do with each other since then.

Ghosts and gods are like a tide, dividing their ways for him.

…

…

The boundless sea of ​​clouds merges again, and the mustard seeds on Mount Sumeru are filled with sorrow.

Master Yongde's naturally smiling face had a rare hint of worry. He stood in the high and vast palace of the Heavenly King, holding a razor in his hand, which was about to fall but did not fall, hanging there for a long time.

The tall golden statues of the four heavenly kings use exaggerated paint to outline their majesty. They stand on two sides and look down at the hall quietly, as if they were the Buddha observing the world.

"Do you really want to shave?" Yongde asked.

There was a futon in front of him. The person sitting on the futon should have been in the empty posture of retreating into Buddhism, but he smiled brightly and wantonly: "Master, if you don't shave it off with this knife, what will I do?"

Zhaowu next to him opened his mouth: "Your Majesty——"

"Be careful what you say!" Xiong Ji raised his palm to cut off his words: "The current Emperor of Chu is Xiong Zidu! He has removed his crown, and the Zen Master can no longer call him His Majesty."

The relationship between Mount Xumi and the State of Chu has always been harmonious. Although they have different interests and occasionally fight, they are still consistent in the general direction. There was even a period of intimacy in history. Zen practice in Mount Xumi and friendship with the strong men of Chu are nothing new.

For example, Zhaowu has always respected Huang Weizhen.

At this moment, he also said: "You just abdicated, and the Great Chu State Master was kidnapped over there. If the three emperors had not hunted together, the Taoist masters of Shanhai were watching, and Zhenhe Zhenjun had seized the bell, the consequences would be unpredictable. The days to come will be long and the turmoil will I don’t know how much…are you really just watching?”

"It may be an unfortunate thing for him to face this battle when he first ascends the throne, but it may also be a kind of luck. The emperor is said to be a loner, and this is a test that the emperor must face."

Xiong Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't comment on how well he did. Since I have escaped into Buddhism, everything in the Chu Kingdom naturally has nothing to do with me."

He had no choice but to lie to himself. Before the dust settled over the East China Sea, he was not seen walking towards Mount Sumeru.

But given his status and past achievements, expressing his stance to this extent also shows his determination to be tonsured.

[Zhi Ji Zang] caused a turmoil in the East China Sea. The three bells of the World Honored One were shaken and gave support to [Zhi Ji Zang]. There must be an explanation. Later, the three bells were used to support Jiang Wang, which was regarded as a statement of position, but it did not mean that the matter was over.

It's okay for Tu Hu, after all, there is Mu Guo behind him.

Xuankong Temple and Mount Xumi require careful consideration.

Xiong Ji, who had ended his ruling career under the name "Chu Liezong", suddenly came to his door and wanted to be ordained and become a monk at Mount Sumeru.

This is a transaction in itself.

Today, the biological father of the Son of Chu is ordained at Mount Xumi. How can the people of Chu settle Mount Xumi's debt?

How could the state of Chu not protect Mount Xumi?

How could Mount Xumi not impart some real skills to this monk-like emperor?

Yongde lowered his brows and said, "I am not good at practicing Zen. I really don't understand. When the benefactor was the emperor, he was a powerful figure in the world. After he abdicated, he became a hero in ancient and modern times. Why did a figure who is famous in history want to enter Buddhism? Although the Buddha's teaching is boundless, this - -Who can save you?"

"Of course, the abbot will be tonsured on behalf of the master." Xiong Ji said with a smile: "Why, Master Yongde really wants to be my master?"

"No, no, no." Yongde shook his head quickly: "I can't do this!"

When he was emperor, Xiong Ji was the most powerful person in the world. After abdicating the throne, Xiong Ji was also one of the few true kings in this world. Even if he loses the blessing of Chu State, he will not be worse than Yongde in all aspects.

If a person like Xiong Ji really came to worship and become Yongde's disciple, then the "Maitreya Sutra" must be passed on, and there will be no second candidate for the next abbot of Mount Xumi.

Even if Xiong Ji could give up this face, Yongde would never have this intention.

Xiong Ji smiled and said: "The abbot asked me the reason for my tonsure. Since I want to enter this sect, I still need to give the abbot a true answer."

He sat there, in the posture of receiving precepts. He could speak and laugh calmly, with a noble demeanor. The prestige that once controlled the world was difficult to get rid of for a while.

"To be frank, I had some prestige when I was in power. Now I have returned with great power and can retire from the top, which is also the support and trust of the people. However, the Great Chu has a new king. As long as I, the former king, remain, people's hearts will inevitably be unstable. Whenever there are some troubles in the country, someone will ask Liezong what he means. How should the emperor deal with it?"

"One emperor, one world. For his good, for my good, for the good of Chu, I can only avoid it."

"Throughout the ages, wise rulers and benevolent kings have mostly avoided death or fled to the heavens."

Xiong Ji spread his hands: "I don't want to die, and I don't want to wander in the heavens, so I have to become a monk."

Yongde said with a bitter face: "Chu also has a royal temple, why do you go far away?"

Xiong Ji laughed He smiled: "Who believes in Buddhism there? It's not true!"

"I do things all my life, either not doing them or doing them to the best of my ability. This is true for governing and practicing Buddhism. If I want to be ordained, I will only join the great sect. If I abandon Mount Sumeru and enter the sky, I will be seeking the far away——" He sat there, with his hands on his knees, looking up: "Master Yongde hesitated to raise the knife, are you afraid that I will be more diligent in Buddhism and surpass you?"

Yongde put his hands together for a while: "There is no high or low in Buddhism. Those who are better than me benefit me, and those who are wiser than me enlighten me. Bodhi is vast and covers my blessings, which is what I wish for."

"I have learned from you." Xiong Ji bowed his head and said: "I am very happy to receive your advice now."

As he said, he reached out to take the razor from Yongde's hand, wiped his head, and wiped away all his troubles. All the black hair on the ground turned to ashes, leaving only a shiny bald head, like a halo of Brahma.

Xiong Ji ordained himself.

Yongde sighed, "Your life is your own, and you didn't ask anyone to help you get ordained. You are a real hero!"

"That's not true. I will let the new emperor take over the throne of the world, and wait for the next generation to live in Chu." Xiong Ji said calmly, "Some things can be done and some cannot be done, and some things should be done but cannot be done. I just do what I can do well. Why bother others? Although the razor is light, the trouble is heavy. I will bear it myself."

When his hair fell off, Xiong Ji called him "senior brother". It was a fait accompli that he worshipped in Mount Xumi.

And Yongde accepted him on behalf of his deceased master Zhaochen.

The door and the wall have been entered, the wood is done, and Yongde also accepted it happily.

His fat face was smiling again, and he looked at Xiong Ji gently: "Junior brother, since you have entered the Zen sect, it is also a great joy for me, Mount Xumi. The master has passed away. I am accepting disciples on behalf of the master, and I will also give you a Dharma name as the current master. The name of Mount Xumi is 'Liao Xuan Qing Ji De Ming Xing, Zhao Yong Pu Zhen Ji Shi Yuan'. We are of the 'Yong' generation. As for junior brother... let me see which name is worthy of junior brother."

Xiong Ji smiled and interrupted his thinking: "What names can be chosen?"

"Theoretically, as long as no one has used it within five generations, it can be used." Yongde saw that he wanted to choose it himself, so he raised his fat palm, and there was a vast universe in his palm, with countless Sanskrit characters floating in it: "My generation practices Zen, and we value fate and law. I also want to see which word is predestined with junior brother."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome!" Xiong Ji stood up with a smile on his face, raised his hand and took the Sanskrit universe in Yongde's palm. Five fingers gently closed, and then opened again, and a word was pinched out.

This word has a red gold light, and it feels heavy in Xiong Ji's palm!

He smiled and said, "How about the word 'heng'?"

Yongde said solemnly, "This name... is too big."

"My word 'ji' is also too big, and I can't take it off my shoulders. I have no choice but to move forward - only by doing what is impossible can we surpass the past and the present." Xiong Ji raised his palm to him and saluted, calmly and distantly: "Yongheng greets Senior Brother."
