In the Zen room, Chen Mengsheng watched the raging fire rising from the Sacrifice Tower to the sky and slowly engulfed the evil monk Mingkong. He made a rebirth formula in his hand. He turned back to Gu Ming'en and said: "Master Gu, you do have immortal bone spiritual roots." They are the stars that have descended to the mortal world. I wonder what your plans will be in the future, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Ming'en was stunned and said: "I have no money now, why are you here to lie to me?"
Chen Mengsheng laughed and said: "You don't believe what you should believe, and you believe what you shouldn't believe. If the person who saves you doesn't save your heart, you will still be fooled in the end. How about I take your soul to the underworld, Ask King Qin Guang to use the Three Life Stones to illuminate your past life. Needless to say, you will understand it yourself after seeing it."
Chen Mengsheng chanted a spell to attract Gu Mingen's living soul, took out the roaring beast that was sleeping soundly from his arms and said: "I have to trouble you to help me take care of this silly boy's body again. Thank you when I come back." You do it." The roaring beast opened one eye and looked at the clay and wood sculpture Gu Mingen, then reluctantly turned over and jumped down to lie on the ground and continue sleeping.
Gu Mingen's soul looked at his body standing there straight, but he felt that his whole body was floating and flying off the ground. He asked in a trembling voice: "You are... who are you...?" What did you do to me?"
Chen Mengsheng said calmly: "I told you, but you just don't believe what you should believe. Let's go and follow me for a while. When you come back, you will know who you really are." Chen Mengsheng took Gu Mingen with him. Gu Mingen's soul entered the netherworld, and Gu Ming'en was as curious about the netherworld as Chen Mengsheng back then. He saw the ghosts on the road to the underworld being whipped by the seductive imp and pulled to the Naihe Bridge with iron ropes.
A ghost wearing a pointed hat and dressed in white floated over from a not far away place, dragging Monk Mingkong towards Chen Mengsheng. Mingkong also saw Chen Mengsheng and Gu Mingen and cursed: "It's all you who don't know. Something came out of nowhere and ruined my good deeds. If you didn't die in my hands, you idiot, wouldn't you have died in his hands as well? It's worth having you two accompany me on the road to hell!"
The ghost who was holding Mingkong turned pale with fright when he heard his shouting. He smashed the soul-calling flag in his hand towards Mingkong and shouted: "How dare you speak to the judge like this, you bastard?" , do you still think that this is Huizhou for you to dominate? A wicked person like you should have been entangled by the evil ghosts on your body in the mortal world, and will never be able to enter the reincarnation. It is only because the Lord Judge is kind-hearted that he used it. The Rebirth Mantra summoned me to save you into the netherworld. Monk, you really don't understand the truth."
The ghost turned around and saluted Chen Mengsheng and said: "Bai Wuchang has visited your Majesty the Judge, and the ghost of the monk has been brought to your Majesty to be punished."
Chen Mengsheng smiled and said: "It's not to listen to my criticism, but to let this young master of the Gu family know the evil deeds of Monk Mingkong. The Yinlu Department has its own laws to punish him severely. Your Majesty, please do as you please, I will take him there Find King Qin Guang."
Bai Wuchang bowed and left, holding the soul-enchanting rope and smiling: "Monk, let's go, the evil spirits under the Naihe Bridge are waiting for you."
Mingkong turned around and looked at Chen Mengsheng in surprise and murmured to himself: "You are actually a judge?..."
Chen Mengsheng said to Gu Ming'en: "Do you know which is true or false now? I am the underworld judge in the underworld, and my name is Chen Mengsheng." Gu Ming'en looked at him blankly, but didn't know what to say. Along the way The ghost soldiers all showed great respect to Chen Mengsheng, and Chen Mengsheng led Gu Mingen as if taking a leisurely stroll in the palace to the Palace of Hell where King Qin Guang was.
Gu Ming'en was surprised to find that King Qin Guang was also very respectful to Chen Mengsheng. As soon as Chen Mengsheng came in, King Qin Guang shouted away the little devils in the palace. He stood up and asked with a smile: "Shangxian, why do you have time to come to my place today?"
Chen Mengsheng bowed and said: "King Qin Guang is joking. I dare not go to your Three Treasures Palace without anything to do. I want King Qin Guang to help this person in the world to find out his past life."
King Qin Guang frowned and said: "It's not like the Immortal doesn't know that the laws of heaven prohibit people from the underworld from inspecting past lives!"
"King Qin Guang is showing mercy. This man is really doing things for a reason. He cheated money and almost lost his life when he encountered unscrupulous people several times. It is said that the King of Hell of the Ten Palaces rewards good and punishes evil and helps the world. Gu Mingen is indeed the superior.
There are all the stars in the world. If King Qin Guang doesn’t give him guidance on his lost path, what will he do if he encounters a bad person again..." Chen Mengsheng said with reason and emotion.
After much hesitation, King Qin Guang said sternly to Gu Mingen: "Do you know that you are just a disembodied soul now, and I have the right to treat you as a dead person in the underworld, do you understand?"
Gu Ming'en nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, if I am a dead person, it doesn't count as breaking the law of heaven, right?"
King Qin Guang stroked his beard and laughed and said: "This man is not too stupid. Please come with me to the Sansheng Stone. Hahaha..." All the way to the west, you will reach Niyuan Terrace. The five-foot-high Sansheng Stone has not changed for thousands of years.
Standing here. Chen Mengsheng came to Sansheng Stone to revisit his old place. Gu Mingen looked at Chen Mengsheng and King Qin Guang uneasily. King Qin Guang shouted: "Why don't you come and see your previous life? How many people do you think can do it?"
Do you know your past and next lives? Don't stand there stupidly, you will remember what you see in the mirror."
Gu Mingen stepped forward and stood in front of the Sansheng Stone. A bean-like light appeared on the mirror. The light illuminated the room full of scriptures, and there was a pot of spiritual grass on the table. The spiritual grass turned into a little novice monk and book boy.
I was sweeping the dust in the room, but while sweeping the book boy, I started to doze off... At this time, a jade-colored mole cricket flew in from outside the door and landed on the boy's broom. What monks pay attention to is sweeping the floor.
Afraid of killing the ants, cherish the moth gauze lamp.
The little novice caught the mole cricket and wanted to put it outside the door. Unexpectedly, the mole cricket jumped up from the ground and bit the little novice's nose hard. Immediately, the nose started to bleed. The little novice raised a broom and chased it.
Molecule, the mole cricket is only one inch big, so it is difficult to find it after jumping into the Sutra Pavilion. The young novice was making trouble in the Sutra Pavilion. Unluckily, the novice accidentally knocked over the oil lamp on the table while chasing the cricket.
The oil in the oil cup spattered and the fire went away with it. In an instant, all the scriptures on the desk were burned. The little novice monk was so frightened that he started crying without calling for help. In no time, the entire scripture storage pavilion was filled with flames.
The fire shot up to the sky. The Buddha was reflected on the Sansheng Stone, sitting upright in the hall, and the little novice monk was carried by several Arhats and cast into the mortal world...
King Qin Guang smiled and said: "So it turns out that you set the fire in the Sutra Pavilion of Xitian Guanyin Temple?"
After reading the scene in the Sansheng Stone, Gu Ming'en suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that in my previous life, I was a lamp-server boy, and I was punished because of the fire that burned down the Sutra Pavilion. I have to go through hardships in this life..."
Chen Mengsheng smiled and said: "Now that Mr. Gu has woken up, let's go back. I think you won't be deceived by others anymore. Thank you to King Qin Guang for pointing him out. Let's take our leave first."
"Haha, you are so polite, the Immortal. I wish the Immortal can save all the wronged souls in the world and return to the Immortal Class as soon as possible. We will see you soon, please take care of yourself, Immortal." King Qin Guang walked together to the Wangchuan River and watched Chen Mengsheng bring Gu
Ming En's soul returned to the earth before turning back.
As soon as Chen Mengsheng entered the Zen room, he heard Shangguan Yanran shouting to Xiang Xiaotian who was drinking porridge; "Senior brother is back. Brother Xiang and I have been worried here for a long time."
Xiang Xiaotian muttered: "You are the one who is worried, don't drag me into the water. I am drinking my porridge so I don't have the heart to worry about your senior brother. It's just that this porridge is so faded that even the rabbit is gone."
do not eat."
Chen Mengsheng first penetrated Gu Mingen's soul and asked, "Why isn't Miss Qi here? Is she okay?"
Xiang Xiaotian wiped his mouth and said: "Brother, don't ask other girls in front of your wife. If you want to ask, wait until your wife is away, otherwise the woman's jealousy will eat you alive.
.”
Shangguan Yanran blushed and said with a smile: "I'm not that stingy. Sister Qi went to pay homage to her father and comfort her father with the news that the evil monk has been killed."
Gu Mingen put his hands together and repented: "Amitabha, this happened all because of me. From then on, the young monk stayed in the Golden Buddha Temple and chanted sutras for his salvation every day."
Xiang Xiaotian was stunned and said: "You silly boy, the wise monks in the Golden Buddha Temple have already sent the monks away. Why are you still here? Going home to serve your parents is what a son of man should do. Are you still thinking about it?
Can you become an immortal or a Buddha?"
Gu Ming'en smiled calmly and said: "I have been taught by the master, and I no longer have delusions. But in the past and present life, the little monk knows that his sins are serious, and he only wants the ancient Buddha Qingdeng to accompany him for the rest of his life."
Chen Mengsheng bowed his head to Gu Ming'en and said: "Although you are not a mortal, I can't check the book of life and death to know what will happen to you in the future. As long as you do more good deeds and don't ask about your future, I think you will definitely achieve perfect merits."
"Remember the master's teachings and engrave them in your heart..." From then on, the incense in the Golden Buddha Temple became increasingly prosperous under the auspices of Gu Ming'en. It was not until Zhao Dun, the third son of Zhao Shen, Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty, succeeded to the throne many years later that Monk Chen became a monk.
He passed away at the end of his life. I heard Huizhou people say that on the day of death, fairy music floated around the beam for three days...
Chen Mengsheng and the others returned to the inn and did not break their promise. Sure enough, they invited the roaring beast for a feast. After they were full, they hired a four-horse cart in Huizhou City and went straight to Yicheng, Xiang Xiaotian's hometown.
Just after leaving the city gate, Shangguan Yanran saw a thin woman walking slowly on the side of the road carrying a package. She quickly stopped the carriage and got out of the car. She walked to the woman and said happily: "It's really you, Sister Qi. You are like this."
Where are you going?"
Qi Ying smiled sadly and said: "I don't know where I'm going. After dad left, I had no relatives or friends in Huizhou City. Although Uncle Gu's family recognized me as their goddaughter, I...but I...after all, I am a
There is absolutely no reason for a person who has been divorced by his family to stay in his family."
Shangguan Yanran narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Since Sister Qi has not decided where to go, why not go to Yicheng with us first. Having someone to look after you on the way will make it less miserable. I have always wanted to have a sister."
"
Qi Ying said: "Girl, you are so talented, how can I be your sister? Besides, I...I am an unlucky person, traveling with you will only drag you down."
"Haha, Sister Qi, don't say that. My senior brother is a good person. The one carrying the bow is Brother Xiang. Although his mouth is sometimes harsh, he is also a man of ancient ways and a warm heart. They will never be afraid that you are an ominous person.
Yes, senior brother, do you think so?"
Chen Mengsheng got out of the car and bowed his hands in salute, saying: "Miss Qi, the road ahead is so bleak and it's really inconvenient for you as a single woman to hit the road. Why not come with us? It's not too late to wait until the girl has a place to go before making plans." Shangguan Yanran didn't wait.
