Chapter 1415 Extra (IX) One-Day Tour
The cold wind howls, the shadowy world is illusory, and the years turn into black soil. Year after year, they are pressed down, forming a desolate and cold world that will last forever.
In this dim and boundless world, a golden light suddenly fell down, carefully outlining a gate full of reliefs and patterns.
The door opened, and a group of humans walked out, old and young, male and female, all with red scarves on their heads and possessed by awns. The leader had two curved beards, held a big yellow flag, and wrote a letter Five big words:
“Underworld tour group!”
Feeling the dark wind that could blow away the soul, he turned around and warned: "Dear guests, you are possessed by the 'Red Scarf', which is invulnerable to the cold and uncontaminated. You can follow with confidence, but be sure not to fall behind." , without the road, this underworld is vast, growing and accumulating every moment, and it is impossible for the deities and Buddhas to see it all. Once it is separated, it will probably not be found again. "
"Yes, Mr. Guide." The group of tourists responded politely in unison.
The guide unfolded the yellow flag he was holding, and the light shone brightly, illuminating the road ahead. Then he said as he walked: "The layer of Yin soil we are seeing now was formed during the reign of the Emperor of Humanity. It combines the ancient barbaric years with the creation of the world. The Yin earth performed in these two eras, the Prehistoric Era, is completely covered and buried..."
Tourists looked around curiously, and could vaguely see distorted and blurry black shadows in the substantial dark wind.
Unconsciously, they moved forward for a long time. The guide pointed to the dark and towering mountain peaks on the left and said:
"This is the 'Yinshan Hell' mentioned in myths and legends. The underworld is naturally formed. Anyone who has committed the crime of adultery and robbery will be nailed to the top of the mountain after death, and will be subject to the 'soul-dispersing wind' and the 'soul-destroying evil spirit' day and night. "Blowing, the pain has not completely disappeared for seventy-seven forty-nine years before I can be relieved."
After hearing this, the tourists looked away and saw that the mountain peaks were dark, smooth and covered with frost, but they could not see the so-called tortured ghosts.
"Is it possible that the world has been so good recently that there are no more rapists and robbers?" A middle-aged scholar said, stroking his long beard.
The guide laughed: "No, no, it's Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Xuan Bei who vowed to transcend all sentient beings, overcome all obsessions and sins, and lead them all to the Pure Land of the Buddha."
"The Bodhisattva is compassionate and bears the sins of all souls with his own body." Among the tourists, some Buddhist laymen clasped their hands and praised.
"But shouldn't those who committed adultery and robbery deserve retribution? From now on, everyone will do bad things and wait for Ksitigarbha to rescue them!" A teenage boy said angrily.
The guide smiled when he heard this and said, "My dear guests, please be patient, please go and listen."
After walking for a while, the dark wind in front suddenly slowed down, and a city with only a gate appeared. Seven or eight canopies stood at the gate, and water lights hung down, protecting one side of the plan. Many ghosts with faces full of pain or obsessions came from all directions. Come together.
"What does that do?" the young man who spoke earlier asked curiously.
The guide laughed:
"You will understand if you take a closer look."
As everyone approached, the water gradually became brighter, and they saw that there were banners fluttering above the plan table, with words such as "Ksitigarbha Pure Land", "Fengdu Ghost City", "Flag Underworld" and "Vacuum Hometown" respectively written on them, and each figure was solid. The ghost is shouting and introducing something:
"Come to our Fengdu Ghost City, board and lodging, practice, and reincarnation are included!"
"Don't ever go to the underworld of the Banner. Those who have committed various crimes must undergo labor reform there. Even good people from nine generations have no higher status!"
"Everyone, everyone, reincarnation is limited and the sea of suffering is endless. Do you want to waste yourselves in reincarnation again and again, eventually losing your nature and turning into another person? Or do you want to accept transformation, find a way to the Tao, and mold your body with the law?"
"I, Ksitigarbha Xuanbei Bodhisattva, have compassion and I am willing to bear your sins with my golden body, and resolve your obsessions with the Dharma, so that your body and mind can be purified, and you can achieve great freedom and bliss."
Amidst the commotion and commotion, the god-man under the banner of "Vacuum Hometown" was listless. Every now and then, he would be able to shout out "Innocent Mother, Vacuum Hometown", doing his best to deal with the situation.
"Are they snatching ghosts?" A white-haired old man inquired with concern.
The guide nodded and replied: "Of course, this boundless Yin Land was originally the Ksitigarbha Pure Land, which controlled life and death, and controlled reincarnation. Later, Taoism, Human Emperor, Luo Jiao and other forces entered. Xuanbei Bodhisattva is compassionate and does not want to cause any harm. Conflicts, tacitly allow everyone to act according to their abilities, but they cannot resort to fighting. "
"That's it..." The white-haired old man nodded slightly, "Mr. Guide, which one do you think is the best place to go to after death? Can the sins in the body be resolved by going to the Ksitigarbha Pure Land, and then one can gain purity, freedom and bliss?"
The teenage boy curled his lips and muttered: "If it were really that easy, there would be bad people in the world..."
The guide chuckled and said, "Listen to my explanation, old man. Although there is a saying in Zen Buddhism that 'put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately', Xuanbei Bodhisattva will bear the corresponding sins for you, but he cannot resolve the cause and effect. In this era, we have Yuxu Headed by Gongmeng Tianzun, his fundamental way involves cause and effect. Therefore, after eliminating sins and obsessing, you have to enter reincarnation and end cause and effect before you can continue to practice Zen. Otherwise, even if you stay in Xuanbei Bodhisattva In the pure land, the practice will also be stagnant, waiting for the complete end to come. "
The white-haired old man's face was serious, and he nodded after a long time: "Which hell are we waiting for?"
"Of course, we should go to Ksitigarbha Pure Land. Xuanbei Bodhisattva is recognized as the Lord of the Underworld by all the underworlds, and the **** are giving lectures. It will definitely be beneficial to listen to them." The guide said as he walked through the city gates where ghosts were close to each other, chose the most central fork, and entered a hazy Buddhist country that spanned billions of kalpas.
There are verdant Bodhi trees everywhere in the Pure Land, and the ground is full of Bodhi and golden lotus. The pool is inlaid with seven treasures such as gold and glass, and it ripples with various colors of light. Even across countless Buddhist lands, you can see the sacred lotus platform in the center of the Buddhist country.
On the lotus platform, Xuanbei, who showed the golden body of Ksitigarbha, sat high. He held the secret of life and death transformed into black and white, showing a compassionate and merciful attitude, and explained the Buddhist teachings sentence by sentence in a grand and solemn voice. There were countless ghosts of various races sitting around him.
"Hey, my universal recognition symbol has no signal." The teenage boy wanted to take out the universal recognition symbol, take a photo as a souvenir, upload it to the forum, and use it as a certificate for a one-day tour, but he didn't expect that there was no signal.
The guide coughed and said, "In the beginning, the Yin and Yang worlds could be connected by the universal recognition symbol, but later it was discovered that Yin and Yang eroded each other and cause and effect were entangled, so one day, the two worlds were separated, and the underworld became a local area, and they could only connect to each other for fifteen days starting from July 15th every year."
"Can the express delivery reach the Yin?" someone asked anxiously.
"Yes, yes, all major immortal gates have normal exchanges with the Yin world, and Yuxu Express has never stopped!" The guide answered diligently, "Everyone can disperse on the spot. Those who want to listen to the Buddhist teachings can listen, those who want to visit relatives can visit relatives, and those who want to walk around can walk around. When Xuanbei Bodhisattva finishes preaching, we will gather here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Pure Land suddenly became dark, without a trace of light, and exclamations filled his ears.
In a flash, the light suddenly rose, illuminating the Buddha's kingdom and the Yin land.
Xuanbei, who was sitting on the lotus platform, stopped preaching, looked up to the Yin land, saw strange phenomena appearing frequently, and saw Yang Jian landing on the other side.
When everything calmed down, he looked at the location of Yuxu Palace again and sighed softly:
"I have the intention to accept disciples again, I wonder which two donors are destined to be with me?"
As the Buddhist sound echoed, he reached out and picked up a falling golden lotus.
Seeing this scene, the ten-year-old boy among the tourists suddenly smiled for some reason, as if he had understood a lot.
Xuanbei picked up a flower, and Kasyapa smiled.
