Chapter 270: Open the door, open the door, I'm back
Master Jin Chan went to the Yinshan Temple. After all, he considered himself a Buddhist. Although he 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.
The fact that Buddhism is able to occupy a place in the underworld, and even share some of the powers of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, is all due to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is even revered as the leader of the Netherworld. This is recognized by the Heavenly Court. 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 just guards his Yinshan Dojo and won't easily interfere in the affairs of the underworld... and 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: "After all, I am a Buddhist, and I know very well that fate plays tricks on people...often you don't get what you want. After drinking a bowl of Mengpo soup, who can say what will happen in the next life?"
What about Deqing? Most likely, the disciple’s wish will not be fulfilled.”
"Hehehe." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and said to Master Jinchan: "I don't want a poor monk to help you retain the memory of this life and reincarnate because of your temperament."
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 he lost the original intention of the test?"
"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 and obtained a pure soul, completely free of karma... and worthy of being reincarnated as a deity."
"No." Master Jin Chan shook his head repeatedly and said, "Just reincarnate as a human being."
Cui Pan looked slightly hesitant.
"Why, is there something difficult about 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 reincarnates in the human realm, he should also enjoy wealth and melt..."
"Slow." 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. As long as the request is not too excessive, I can comply with it.
Are Master Jinchan’s demands too much?
Cui Pan raised his hands to Master Jin Chan and said, "Master Jin Chan's realm 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. Master Jinchan, who didn't want to jump in line, drank 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 Master Erlang had already sent Brother Meishan to deal with the matter in Hua'an Mansion, 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 Flame Mountain with Master 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 steamy 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, which falls between the Western Sea, like fire quenching water, and then boils...but I don't know what the scene is like in those other 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 god of justice in the three realms, the national conditions of all countries in the world are closely related to each other.
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 actually scare a child to death... Why can the sound of drums and horns be mixed into his ears, but he is 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 no grass grows 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 steps 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 here, 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.
This is 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 Immortal also has a magic weapon called the Banana Fan. People here pray for it once every ten years. They give four pigs and four sheep, red flowers on the outside and inside, fragrant seasonal fruits, chickens, geese and fine wine, bathe in piety, worship at the Immortal Mountain, and ask him to come out.
Cave, so far.
One fan extinguishes the fire, the second fan generates wind, and the third fan makes it rain. The people here spread the 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 it wasn't for that red boy causing trouble and asking 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 about the grudges between Master Tripitaka and his disciples and the Bull Demon King's family.
This is a revenge for killing a son, and it is almost impossible to resolve it.
Moreover, the Bull Demon King gathered the demon kings in Hezhou, Xiniu, and this matter also made a 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 seek 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 together, and the more they will be in line with Master Sanzang's wishes. Finally, he has a chance to catch them all, which saves him the trouble of pretending to be bait and fishing along the way.
Let’s talk about outside Cuiyun Mountain.
The Bull Demon King, who gathered a group of monsters in Jilei Mountain, is 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 couldn't help but look at it.
It's becoming more and more unfamiliar.
This Cuiyun Mountain is a rare blessed place. The mountain is made of stone bones, and the stone is the essence of the soil. The green trees and colorful phoenixes sing, and the living water hides the dragon. It is a thousand-year-old historical site 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."
