The entire Netherworld never sees the sky, and is shrouded in a pale mist all day long. It is gray on all sides, making it extremely depressing.
Occasionally, a gloomy wind blows, making people's hearts feel chilly. Ksitigarbha has now become a Buddha and has returned to the Pure Land of Paradise in the West. Above the Yin Mountain, it is dim and lightless. The Buddha's light no longer shines through, and the hell is even darker.
When Zhou Zhu flew away from the light, a piece of clear light appeared on his head, which was extremely soft.
In the center of the clear light, a bright pearl rises slowly, shining on Fengdu Naihe, the Yinshan Mountain and the sea of blood.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's golden cloud of Buddha's light has great vow power, which is a little domineering, but also has a seductive flavor. "Unless hell is empty, I will never become a Buddha!" Although this vow is grand, it has not yet found the true flavor of Zen Buddhism.
If hell were empty, reincarnation would be useless. Wouldn't it go against the order of heaven? The void is empty, the great road is inactive, and the reincarnation of living beings has its own entanglement of cause and effect. It was precisely because of the fate of death that Amitabha ordered Ksitigarbha to become a Buddha.
After five hundred years of bad luck, will hell be empty?
Flying all the way, the clear light shone down, and Zhou Zhu could only see in Fengdu City, countless wandering souls, large and small, burdened with karma, struggling in pain, wailing endlessly, mournful cries and mournful songs.
Zhou Zhu saw the wandering spirits among them, men, women, old and young, beautiful, ugly, good and evil, all mixed together. Those evil ghosts and evil things were touched by the light, and he suddenly felt an ethereal feeling. When he woke up, the light flew by and disappeared.
It's like a sudden attack.
Zhou Zhu flew all the way, carrying the fairy light of heaven, and penetrated into the netherworld. He saw what Fengdu was doing and the underworld and the ghost way. He thought to himself: "The netherworld and hell are really miserable. No wonder people in the world hope to become immortals and become Buddhas. They want to get rid of red and escape from reincarnation."
It is here that the Buddhists can help people enter the Western Heaven of Ultimate Bliss and escape from the sea of suffering, which is indeed an excellent thing."
"It's just! Is Xitian really blissful? Dad once said that the way of heaven does not care about all things, and allows them to rise and die. In the vast void and the creation of the universe, there will always be reincarnation and growth and decline. Where does the bliss come from?"
Seeing the misery of this hell and the sinking of the world, Zhou Zhu couldn't help but admire the compassion of Buddhism. But suddenly he remembered Zhou Qing's words and thought about it carefully. Although bliss is good, it is just a piece of pure land derived from the power of wishes. After all, it is
False.
Under the way of heaven, everyone is treated equally, but it is unkind. Where does the pure land come from in the world? Where does the bliss come from? That bliss, that pure land, is ultimately an illusory place that blinds the soul and seeks support.
When the fate of murder arises, even with the power of Amitabha Buddha, it cannot be reversed. Even if it is a pure land, it will be contaminated by the fate of murder. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas cannot escape the disaster. Can the Buddha still have compassion for the fate of murder?
Under the way of heaven, there is no difference whether you are in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss or in the mortal world of Jamfu.
The clear light was more distant, and the pearl was even brighter. Zhou Zhu stepped out of the way and stepped on the sea. The endless waves of blood surged, but how could they get close to her body? As soon as she encountered the clear light, she calmed down.
"Which immortal are you? You dare to break into my Shura Sea of Blood!" A group of extremely ugly Shura warriors, holding steel forks and covered in scales, emerged from the sea of blood and rushed out countless pillars of blood. Although King Ksitigarbha became a Buddha, the Shura clan lost their lives.
The enemy was defeated, but Styx was captured, the four demon kings were suppressed, and the Shura clan was seriously injured and did not dare to come out again.
"I am Senior Sister Zhang Ziran. I have something to see him!" Zhou Zhu said. One of the Shura warrior leaders heard this and hurriedly went down. Within a moment, a sea of blood rolled and separated from both sides. Zhang Ziran came up wearing a brocade dress and saw Zhou Ziran.
Zhu was immediately overjoyed and even called her senior sister.
"Sister Zhu, why did you come to see me today?" Zhang Ziran said.
"I'm here to tell you the difference according to Senior Sister Fu Zhao." Then Zhou Zhu followed Zhang Zizi into the sea of blood and came all the way to the Great Asura Demon Palace. After sitting down, Zhou Zhu said: "Junior brother, you have been robbed since you were a child.
You have entered Shura, but you are still part of my heavenly lineage. Now that my father has become Yuanshi, my senior sister is in charge of the great religion, has entered the heavenly palace, and is seated in the spiritual sky. I have specially called you back to my master. I am here to help the Shura clan gain a name.
divided and canonized by heaven."
Zhang Ziran laughed twice and said: "Senior sister said that I should follow my senior sister to the heavenly palace and return to my master's door. However, my aunt Xigua is the one who makes the decision about the Shura clan at the moment. I still need my aunt to explain the canonization issue."
Zhou Zhu nodded, and Zhang Ziran then personally invited Xigua to come. "The leader has been suppressed and must be rescued. However, my Asura lineage is weak at the moment. None of the sisters are of the same mind as me. They are all in the earthly immortal world.
Zhuanxu is wandering around there. Although Zhuanxu is the human emperor, his power is weak at the moment, and he has many connections with Taoist Najiu Duobao. Although he belongs to my Asura lineage in this life, he may not be able to save the ancestor of the religion."
In this life, Zhuanxu was transformed into Wang Yin Yang and joined the Asura sect to train. After becoming the emperor, because his power was weak, it was difficult to resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty. He still had to rely on the Asura Way to fulfill his promise, such as wiping out the Tang Dynasty and promoting the human religion.
After that, Styx and the four demon gods will definitely be rescued, and many of the Shura princesses will seek refuge with them.
Xigua was unwilling, and wanted to find another supporter. After much deliberation, only Zhou Qing’s Tiandao Sect was the best. Zhou Qing’s magic power was very strong, and Sakyamuni was not his opponent. It was just that the two sides had been enemies. Although Zhang Ziran was the lead, Xigua
It’s not easy to go looking for people from the Tiandao Sect.
Now Zhou Zhu came here, just as he was dozing off, someone touched the pillow. Xigua was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly came out to meet him. Zhou Zhu had a gentle temperament and spoke appropriately. Within a few words, they both had a good impression.
At that moment, Zhang Ziran, Watermelon followed Zhou Zhu out of the sea of blood, and went to heaven to be canonized.
As expected, Wen Lanxin canonized Zhang Ziran as the Holy King of the Netherworld, Xigua as the Saint, and the Shura clan, assisting the ten kings of hell to jointly manage the six paths of reincarnation. First, the underworld is weak, and immortals such as Shushan often come to disturb it. With the Shura clan as a thug, the underworld is just right.
It is used to deal with those troublesome immortals. Secondly, it is also orthodox for the Shura clan.
"The monster monkeys in Huaguo Mountain are causing trouble and are affecting the Saha Pure Land. You can send troops to help your senior brother clear up the monster atmosphere. Maybe we can also save the Styx!" Shen Gongbao and other watermelons, Zhang Ziran was sealed out and said to them.
"That monkey from Huaguo Mountain colluded with Tathagata to harm the ancestor of the religion. This revenge has long been avenged! It's not certain that the ancestor can be rescued by taking advantage of the Heavenly Court's crusade to fish in troubled waters." When Xigua heard this, he suddenly thought to himself.
.
Huaguo Mountain and the Saha Pure Land are of the same lineage. Xigua still knows this. Otherwise, how could there be a fight to defeat the Buddha?
At that moment, Xigua returned to the sea of blood and ordered the five million Asura warriors under his command, as well as the surviving demon kings, ghost mothers, Indra, Rudra, and Bhajara among the Asuras. Together with Zhang Ziran, he also went to Huaguo.
Mountains are coming to kill.
But he said that the monkey was so unhappy after the battle with Jiufeng. He mentioned the three messengers of the Purity Altar, Bodhisattva, and after a few somersaults, they fell to the Huaguo Mountain, roaring continuously, and the sound cracked gold and stone.
"Brother Monkey, please stop shouting!" A black light flashed across the body of Bodhisattva Purity Altar, and he turned into the pig demon with a long mouth and big ears. The eight-part Tianlong Guangli Bodhisattva also turned into a handsome young man in white clothes.
.
The golden light in the monkey's eyes disappeared, he entered the water curtain cave and sat down on the throne.
"Brother Monkey, why are you making trouble in the Heavenly Palace again? Aren't you forcing a murder? The master of the Heavenly Dao Sect has become a saint, and his disciples are in charge of the Heavenly Palace. What does it have to do with us? If Tang Sanzang dies, he will be dead. Let's guard the flower.
Guoshan is a pure land, where you don’t have to worry about eating or drinking, you have nothing to do, and you can take a good night’s sleep regardless of spring, summer, autumn, or winter. How comfortable you are.”
Zhu Bajie came in with a bitter look.
"Pure Land? If you are lucky enough to kill, how can there be a Pure Land!" The monkey rolled his fiery eyes, jumped off the throne, raised his crutch, and walked around twice, babbling: "The Pure Land is all made up and used to confuse the world. Monk
If you don't give those worldly people a pure land, will they believe you?"
"In the fate of death, there is only a glimmer of hope. Even if there is a pure land, you have to fight for it yourself!"
The monkey walked around for two more times and cursed: "You poor thing, you are greedy and lazy, and you have fallen into the trap of making your labors disappear in vain. You threw me the face of Huaguoshan for no reason. The world is like a chain, but
If you leave a thin line, you have to fight. If you don't fight, let others fight. The leader of the Taoist sect is the one who sets the example. We all need to learn from him!"
The Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat said: "Senior Brother, you have also received enlightenment from Buddhism. I'm afraid it's not good to say this."
The monkey sneered and cursed: "If you defeat the Buddha in Nirvana in a fight, the cause and effect will be cut off early, and you will pay back the Buddha's ass."
Zhu Bajie smiled with a sad face: "Brother Monkey, what's going on now? You caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace. If you get to the Heavenly Dao Sect, you will have to attack our Huaguo Mountain. Today's Heavenly Court is no better than it used to be. I'm afraid it won't be good for our Huaguoshan Mountain."
I can’t resist it.”
Guangli Bodhisattva and the golden Arhat all stood aside, unable to speak.
The monkey jumped on the throne again: "I have my own arrangements. Anyway, there will be a disaster this time. People will be harmed. I will find someone to take over. Once the disaster in Huaguo Mountain is over, we will have another battle between heaven and man in the future.
After the killing calamity is over, Huaguo Mountain will be a pure land for a calamity. Otherwise, we will all die. You must listen to my arrangements."
He summoned the Second General Bengba, the Second General Maliu, and all the monsters from Aolai Kingdom to gather at Huaguo Mountain and arrange their troops.
After a fight, the monkey flew up to the sky and reached Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. He came to the seat of Taoist Zhunti.
"Disciple Huaguoshan will be punished by the Heavenly Court soon. I hope the Patriarch will draw down the curtain to rescue me!" said the monkey.
Taoist Zhunti said: "You should have a calamity. This is the number of days. But someone can take care of it. In the future, a large-scale human religion will be established, and then the killing calamity will be completed, and the struggle between heaven and man will be carried out." Then he called the boy: "Ask Ran Deng Yi Qian to come here.
.”
At that moment, all the Buddhist disciples who were practicing under Taoist Zhunti, including Ran Deng, Ke Liu Sun, Manjusri, Pu Xian, Guan Shi Yin, Kun Peng, Ding Guang, Ma Yuan, Vinacha, Hua Guang, Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha, etc., all came to the stage.
"You have violated the precept of killing, and now the fate of killing has arisen in the Huaguo Mountain. You can go there on your own, finish the killing calamity, and then join the fight to defeat the reincarnated body of the Buddha, help him to bring peace to mankind, and then become a deity.
The dispute." Taoist Zhunti said again.
Master Zhunti also ordered the boy to go to the Bodhi Garden and cut down ninety-nine bodhi trees, and taught the monkey a formation called the "Ajuyedara Bodhi Formation": "If you arrange it in the mountain, you will be safe!"
More than a dozen people respected the decree and followed the monkey down the Huaguo Mountain without mentioning it.
Two days later, the heavenly army appeared in the sky above Huaguo Mountain. It was densely packed, surrounded by auspicious clouds, with flags fluttering, long flags standing in great numbers, and thunder and drums roaring, covering the entire sky.
Liao Xiaojin saw the golden light soaring into the sky in the Huaguo Mountain, and there was an infinite amount of green light around it. The green light was extremely sticky and formed into towering bodhi trees, covering the entire Huaguo Mountain: "Then
What kind of disparity has the Monkey King created? I have to deal with it carefully this time and wipe out the Huaguo Mountain, otherwise the senior sister will blame me, but it will not be easy for me!"
After arranging the formation, Liao Xiaojin ordered: "Lingzhuzi, you have experience in besieging Huaguo Mountain, go and call the formation! Poison Dragon, Ba Liming, come with us."
Lingzhu led a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and descended from heaven. He just stopped outside the green light of the Bodhi tree and looked down. Sure enough, he could faintly see the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain. He quickly shouted: "Great Sage Qitian, are you disturbing me?"
Tiangong, you have offended the Great Heavenly Lord and injured the princess. This is a serious crime. Come out and be captured as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long roar, earth-shaking, came up from the mountain, causing the white clouds to roll. The monkey held a wish-fulfilling stick, wore a golden armor with chains, and led countless demon soldiers to rush forward. Next to him was a golden light, all Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.
They all sit high on lotus pedestals, among the demon soldiers, facing off against the heavenly soldiers.
"Nezha, you rebellious son has no father and no king. You dare to dance with a bunch of rebellious evildoers, and you still dare to speak arrogant words!" Guanyin Bodhisattva sat down on the wooden Zha, Manjusri sat down on the golden Zha and shouted angrily, and stepped forward with his sword.
.
"I'm going to kill you, the traitor, today!"
When Lingzhuzi saw it, he immediately sneered: "It turns out that you are both bald. You two are both native chickens. I don't care. Are you going to stop the heavenly soldiers today? If not, retreat quickly. You and I will take care of the cause and effect.
Live with the demon monkeys, and I will make plans with you after we level the Huaguo Mountain."
"What a rebellious son! How dare you fight me to the death!" Muzha said angrily. The monkey there just sneered, and the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas had their own expressions. I saw these three brothers settling their grudges in the formation.
"I am the great god of heaven, how can I fight against you? Ba Liming, Du Long, capture these two people. After capturing the monster monkey, we will imprison them together in Taiyuan Tianzhong and eat prison food with Li Jing." Lingzhuzi.
sneered.
Ba Liming let out a ferocious laugh and used his supernatural powers to see a white, deep shadow in an infinite amount of green demonic light rushing towards the two of them.
"Retreat quickly, wait for me to fight this monster!" A long roar came from the south, and then a crystal light appeared, and a strange weapon flew in, blocking Ba Liming. A figure also appeared, it was Yang Jian.
