Chapter 37: Listen carefully and solve doubts
Chen Mengsheng shouted: "Ah ah ah, it's Jigong Living Buddha here."
Ying Xiaolian didn't know why when she saw this dirty monk, she felt a sense of fear in her heart. She wanted to hide back in the porcelain vase but found that she was frozen in place.
The monk smiled: "Don't be afraid, girl. The poor monk only kills those evildoers who harm the world. The monk is here just for you today. The monk will not harm you, so you can rest assured."
Chen Mengsheng asked curiously: "Why did the master say that he came here for Miss Ying?"
"Ho, ho. There is wine and food. I'm hungry, monk. Let's talk after eating. Let's talk after eating." Jigong picked up the cooked chicken with one hand and the wine jar with the other. He drank half of the jar and let out a long sigh of relief.
Said: "This wine has seeped too much, and it tastes a bit weak. One of you is an immortal, and the other is a ghost. Don't let this chicken go to waste here." Chen Mengsheng and Ying Xiaolian looked at it dumbfounded.
With Jigong's five-clawed golden dragon, he swept away all the food and wine on the table like a whirlwind. After drinking and eating, Zen Master Jigong was picking his teeth with an unknown chicken foot or fish bone in his hand.
He burped and said: "This wine was sacrificed to General Zhongyong, and it just went into the belly of the poor monk. It's good, it's good. Miss Ying doesn't have to be so restrained. Zhongliang will eventually be punished. It's just that someone designed to get away with it.
The method of grafting flowers and grafting trees will do it for the prince."
Chen Mengsheng said in confusion: "Master, I don't know what you mean?"
Jigong smiled and said: "Judge, you scared that prince so much that he went to find Liu Laodao from Qingyang Temple to help him replace the dead man. The person who died by then would just be a scapegoat."
"Then the Netherworld doesn't care? Is this Netherworld as black as the crow in this world? I want to go to the Netherworld. Master, please take me there." Chen Mengsheng was depressed. Although he was a judge, he couldn't go to the Netherworld.
boundary.
"Haha, a poor monk doesn't have the ability to take you to the netherworld, but there is a person who can. You know that Bodhi can only be achieved when all sentient beings are saved. If the hell is not empty, you will never become a Buddha. Who said that?"
Chen Mengsheng said: "This is the Buddhist saying of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
"You're a good boy. The poor monk has eaten his fill. Let's say goodbye. Look at the young lady and the poor monk, who is so drunken with wine and meat that they can't even move. It's a sin. It's a sin." After Jigong finished speaking, he held on to the broken things that could no longer be broken.
She walked out of the door with her shoes on, hidden in the dusk. Chen Mengsheng bowed deeply to Jigong's back. Ying Xiaolian's soul was immobilized by Jigong's Buddha's light and could not move until Jigong left.
"This master is so powerful. I don't know why Xiao Lian is so scared when I see him."
"Miss Ying, you go back to the bottle first. I will go to the Ksitigarbha Temple and I will definitely give you justice."
In Buddhism, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, whose surname is Jin and whose name is Qiaojue, was entrusted by Sakyamuni Buddha to assume the important task of teaching and enlightening sentient beings in the six realms in the Buddhaless world after Sakyamuni's death and before the birth of Maitreya, the future Buddha.
He is in charge of the underworld. He is one of the four great bodhisattvas along with the great wisdom Manjushri, the great Samantabhadra, and the great compassion Avalokitesvara.
There is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Temple in Nantai, Lin'an. When Chen Mengsheng rushed to the Ksitigarbha Temple, he only saw a more than ten feet tall golden statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wearing a crown, celestial clothes and necklaces, holding a tin staff in one hand.
Holding a lotus in one hand. Next to the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a lion-shaped dog (the famous Tibetan dog known today as "Tibetan Mastiff", with a large head and long hair, resembling a golden lion) as a mount. Its name is: "True Listen" or "True Listening" or "Tibetan Mastiff".
Listen well." Chen Mengsheng took the incense from the side, knelt on the futon, and said in his mouth: "The great wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is above, my disciple Chen Mengsheng is a prisoner in the human world, transporting the souls of the dead among the six paths, punishing evil and promoting good
Bringing the evildoers of the world to justice. But he didn’t expect that there would be such things happening in the netherworld. Chen Mengsheng is so stupid that he doesn’t know which is more important, human relationships or the laws of the underworld?”
"Haha, my old friend and disciple who I haven't seen for many years has now become a judge in the underworld. Back then, I heard the Dharma in Yuxu Palace and saw the immortals. I don't think it has been a thousand years since we met again today. I wonder why the judge came here?"
A Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with his parietal bone protruding and riding a white dog, suddenly appeared above him. He was looking at Chen Mengsheng with a smile. Listening looked at Chen Mengsheng sideways. When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva got down, he actually leaned over and closed his eyes to take a nap.
.
Chen Mengsheng replied respectfully: "This disciple only came here because of a grudge in the world. There is a life lawsuit between Tianxiong and Prince Yu, but this grudge has already involved the law enforcement in the underworld, so I came to seek advice from the Bodhisattva." Chen Mengsheng will
In response to Tianxiong and the prince's questions, they went to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from beginning to end.
After listening to this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva pondered for a long time and said: "Judge, you don't know what to do. The two kings are enemies from a long time ago. Judge, don't be anxious. My white dog is listening and knows nothing. I'm listening to what you will tell me about the two of them."
Let the judge listen."
When Di heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's call, he reluctantly opened one eye. He shook his head and said, "Ying, the two Wangs were brothers from Zhongnan Mountain in the Southern Tang Dynasty. This brother was Ying Tianxiong in later generations.
, the younger brother is the prince. The two brothers spend their days chopping wood in the Zhongnan Mountains. Unexpectedly, one day when the two brothers went into the mountains and saw an injured elk, the elder brother wanted to kill the elk. He asked his brother to keep an eye on the elk.
, went to chop some firewood. After the elder brother left, the younger brother guarded the injured elk. But he didn't know that the elk could speak. The elk begged his brother to let it go. The younger brother saw that the elk was pitiful and let it go. Waiting for his brother
When he came back and found that the elk was gone, he cursed his brother for nothing. The two brothers got into a dispute over the elk. From then on, the two brothers stopped going into the mountains together. Judge, do you think they are right or wrong?
?”
Chen Mengsheng was speechless for a moment: "This, this, I think they are both right. The elder brother killed the elk to satisfy his hunger, and the younger brother let the elk go out of kindness. They are not wrong, right?"
Bai Quan Tingting continued: "What the younger brother released was still a mountain spirit. Later, the two brothers went into the mountain to cut firewood. The younger brother would pick up a silver ingot every day, but the older brother did not. As time went by, the younger brother would
He spent money to expand the house. When his younger brother got rich, he did not forget his elder brother. The two of them started a business together. A few years later, the younger brother got married to a beautiful woman, while the elder brother was already in his thirties.
He was still a bachelor. After his brother got married, he found it inconvenient to live with his brother, so he rebuilt a house not far away. They lived a very comfortable life. Half a year later, the brother suddenly became seriously ill.
After hearing the news, my brother hurried back from out of town. When he arrived at his brother's house, he knocked on the door but no one answered. In desperation, he kicked open the door and went straight into the back room. After entering the house, he was shocked that his brother was being killed by a big belly.
The bulging elk was opening its mouth wide, as if it was about to eat its younger brother. My brother picked up a hoe from outside the house and hit the elk on the head with the hoe..." At this point, Di Ting also let out a long sigh.
Chen Mengsheng asked hurriedly: "What happened next? Did the elder brother kill the goblin and save the younger brother?"
"What an injustice, what an injustice. That elk was a mountain spirit that transformed into a human form, just to repay the younger brother's life-saving grace. At first, he used the money he deliberately put on the road every day to support his life. Later, as time went by, he fell in love with it.
This young man transformed into a woman and lived with his younger brother. The younger brother also knew that his daughter-in-law was transformed by a mountain spirit and he did not dislike it. The mountain spirit would soon become pregnant. Unexpectedly, the younger brother suddenly became ill, and the mountain spirit walked around the ground with a big belly.
He visited famous doctors and traveled to three mountains to collect treasures from heaven and earth. However, his brother's illness did not improve. Finally one day, the mountain spirit cried and said to his dying brother that today was the last day of his life. The mountain spirit could not bear to bear his brother.
When he died, he was going to use the elixir he had practiced for five hundred years to save his younger brother. Unexpectedly, after regaining his original form, the mountain spirit opened his mouth and spat out the elixir when he heard someone knocking on the door. He was so confused that he hurriedly took out the elixir.
It entered his brother's mouth, and before he could explain, he was hit on the head by his iron hoe. The elixir is the root of the mountain spirit's life, and being hit on the head killed him on the spot. Although the brother who fell on the bed said
He was dying but he was aware of it. He saw that his beloved wife had been beaten to death by his brother because of his exhaustion for days. In anger, he pushed his elder brother, but he didn't know that the elixir had accumulated five hundred mountain spirits.
Years of practice. This is incredible. That brother was so broken that he could not figure it out before he died. He was so kind in saving people but got such a reward. When he died, he said that he was kind in saving you but suffered evil retribution.
The tenth generation evil ghost came to seek your life. My younger brother was saddened by the mountain spirit and dug out his own elixir with a knife to save the mountain spirit. As a result, the younger brother also died of hatred for his elder brother..."
Chen Mengsheng listened to what Di Ting said about the long-standing grievances between Wang and Wang in their past lives. It is really difficult to judge whether it is right or wrong, but as a judge, he can only settle their grievances in this life...
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the main purpose of my disciple's visit this time is to ask the Bodhisattva to take me to the underworld."
"Haha, judge. I understand. You must have been instructed by an expert to come here today, right? Anyway, since you are an underworld judge and can't even go to the netherworld, I won't be able to show my face if you tell me." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva put down the tin.
Flower cane, the palm is flat. There is a pair of small shoes less than an inch in the palm, one shoe is an official shoe, and the other shoe is a cloth shoe.
"Judge, these are yin and yang shoes. They were given to me by your master Taishang Laojun on Jiuhua Mountain. Now I will give them to you." With a move of his fingers, the pair of yin and yang shoes rose up in the air and hid in Chen Mengsheng's body.
