When Fairy Chang'e's colorful clothes fluttered and descended from the clouds, Huang Shang, who was wearing it on her wrist, took a deep breath.
It only lasted a few days, but it was quite a journey from Wuzhuang to Heaven. When I returned to the human world, I really missed the large particles of vitality here.
Fairy Chang'e felt uncomfortable.
Although she was once a member of the human race on earth, she did not miss the hard days at that time. What she missed was only her relationship with Hou Yi.
As a result, she didn't have time to visit her former residence and went directly to Fengdu.
The ghost town Fengdu in this world is in Nanzhan Buzhou. Fairy Chang'e entered Fengdu, and then traveled down. When the world was spinning, the Yin energy was strong, and she had arrived in another world.
The sky is dark, and six strange red-red suns hang high. Looking around, there are hideous rocks everywhere, without any life of vegetation, and black and majestic strange mountains are twisted and twisted, as if they are groups of huge demonic shadows, covering them from all directions.
The vitality in the air was even more filthy, full of turbid air that corresponded to the pure air. Fairy Chang'e immediately frowned, and a layer of pure air filled her body to resist it.
This resistance was extremely eye-catching, and a black shadow suddenly floated towards this place from a distance, and at the same time, a mysterious wave swept over.
Chang'e was unaware of this, but Huang Shang grasped this strange yet familiar wave.
What's strange is the other person's breath.
What is familiar is the type of supernatural power.
The listening test starts now.
To be able to compete with the six-eared macaque in terms of hearing, there is only one mythical beast in the underworld that can do it...
Listen!
This mythical beast is aware of good and evil, and listens to the virtuous and foolish. It only needs to put its ears to the ground to listen to the four major continents, mountains, rivers and crops, caves, heavens and blessed lands, scales, feathers and kuns, heaven and earth, gods, humans and ghosts, all within the scope of its supervision.
Even if the four monkeys of Hunyuan jump out of the three realms, are not among the five elements, and are not among the ten major categories, they still cannot escape the discernment of listening.
But now, Huang Shang found that Listening was really busy.
As soon as Chang'e came to the underworld, she was heard once.
In order to defend Miss Chang'e, Huang Shang didn't say anything, but followed the breath and listened back.
I eavesdrop on the way you eavesdrop on me.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he crossed thousands of mountains and arrived at a palace where Ksitigarbha lived.
The palace is dim in color and relatively spacious. It does not have the fairy-like atmosphere of the Heavenly Palace, nor is it as resplendent as the Daleiyin Temple, but it fits the image of asceticism.
Going deeper, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is sitting in the center of the palace. Under the seat is the standard lotus platform of Buddhism, but there are countless evil spirits clinging to the lotus platform.
Those evil fruits spread their teeth and claws, and were extremely vicious. They climbed up, and some even jumped onto the legs of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and bit them.
But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is patient and motionless, and the Buddha's light circulates, following his root nature, and saves him.
This move is the great wish of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to save the evil ghosts in hell and save all sinful and suffering sentient beings.
Huang Shang listened and found that most of the evil ghosts ignored them, but some were inspired and enlightened. They put down their butcher knives, had Buddha light appearing on their bodies, expressed respect to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and were then led by the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to Lingshan Great Thunder Sound.
Temple practice.
This is giving all beings in the ghost realm a second chance.
The six paths of reincarnation in this world are not the Buddhist path of heaven, humanity, animals, asuras, hungry ghosts and hell, but the six paths determined by heaven.
The path to immortality is to do good deeds, to be reborn as a noble person to be loyal, to be reborn as a blessed person to be filial, to be reborn as a human being to be fair, to be reincarnated as a wealthy person by accumulating virtue, and to be a vicious ghost.
It can be seen from this that ghost roads are actually garbage dumps.
Those who have done great evil in the upper world and have not done any good deeds or accumulated any virtue may not even have the chance to be reincarnated. They will directly sink into the eighteenth level of hell and suffer eternal torture.
What Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva does is to influence all living beings in the ghost realm, make evil ghosts do good, and save all sinful and suffering sentient beings.
I have to say, this ambition is really big.
If completed, it will demonstrate the boundless Dharma of Buddhism and save all sentient beings.
Even if the ultimate goal cannot be achieved, believers who are transformed by evil ghosts under the salvation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are the most loyal.
It’s no wonder that Buddhism likes these kind of evil people who have gone astray and come back.
Of course, it is also possible to prevent them from pretending to be good while still having evil thoughts in their hearts.
At this time, being able to hear the cries of good and evil comes in handy.
Ambush him and listen to what's going on in his heart.
"My Buddha is compassionate! My Buddha is extremely compassionate!"
This is truth, goodness and beauty.
"Free! I'm free!"
This is fake and ugly.
"You deserve to have the Diting brand security detector..."
Huang Shang observed for a moment and sighed at the intensity of Di Ting's work.
Zero zero seven, turned out to be zero zero seven!
They are also mounts. Except for the golden retriever with its hair pulled out, the other mounts are still very leisurely. They usually listen to songs and take a short walk. When working, they hold a peach meeting. The immortals and Buddhas only ride them when they need a mount to match their status.
Get on them and travel all the way.
But Listening is obviously not Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mount, but a secretary-like existence. He needs to cooperate with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva at all times to constantly distinguish whether the beings in the ghost realm are good or not.
If hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha. If you do not become a Buddha, I will not get off work.
Monster clan, monster clan, what can we do to stand up?
However, Huang Shang did not alert the enemy.
He is doing calculations in his head but not intentionally, and listening has not discovered it. But if the two sides really compete in eavesdropping, it is still unclear who will win.
After all, Wei is a full-time eavesdropper, and he wears many hats.
For example, the ghost car propagandist, the ginseng fruit carrier, the staunch ally of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Chang'e's intimate sister...
It's better to be on the safe side.
At this time, Fairy Chang'e, who had been informed, came into contact with the evil soldiers and ghosts of the underworld.
After showing the work card of Guanghan Palace, the Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers immediately went to report, and not long after, a judge came out to greet them.
He has a black veil on his head, a soft belt floating around, rhino horns around his waist, a tooth wat in his hand, wearing a robe, and holding a book of life and death in his arms.
Very official clothing, very Death Note.
Don't be surprised that the judges are dressed like this, because they were originally officials during their lifetime, basically officials from past dynasties in the human world. They accumulated bad virtues and joined the underworld as judges to assist the King of Hell in governing the underworld.
After seeing the ceremony, Judge Zhao asked: "I wonder what the fairy did when he came to the underworld?"
Fairy Chang'e did not hide anything: "I want to find the reincarnation of my husband Houyi."
"Hou Yi?"
Judge Zhao was startled. This was a familiar name. The story of Shooting the Sun was well known to every household, and of course he knew it. Unexpectedly, this was Hou Yi's wife, and he subconsciously showed a look of embarrassment: "Reporting to the fairy, Hou Yi is the ruler of the Five Emperors.
A person from that time may have been reincarnated for thousands of years, I'm afraid..."
Fairy Chang'e's expression remained unchanged on her calm face as she took out a gift from her sleeves.
A jade rabbit.
He was carried out by the ears, with a beautiful knot tied around his neck, but his eyes were a little gray, and he felt like he had been spoiled.
Just like the fairy peaches of the Three Elders of Fortune, Luxu and Longevity, this is also a local specialty of Guanghan Palace.
"No! The fairy misunderstood!"
Judge Zhao declined repeatedly.
Really refuse.
Fortunately, he was still looking forward to the Taiyin Pill that matched the earth realm, but it turned out to be a rabbit. How many kilograms of meat is there...
Bah, they are upright judges, how can they accept local products?
Seeing Judge Zhao's righteous words, Fairy Chang'e felt a little apologetic, thinking she had misunderstood this person, so she put Tutu away and looked at him.
"Forget it, since the fairy invites you, I will work hard..."
Judge Zhao immediately knew that he was encountering someone who was not familiar with the world, so he could only sigh secretly, open the book of life and death, and start searching.
There is not only one book of life and death in this world, but each judge has one, which is connected to the server of the underworld and has the operating authority of the administrator.
That is to change Yangshou.
There is a very interesting passage in the original plot. Li Shimin enters the underworld and is greeted by the Ten Palaces of Hell, and then inquires how long his majesty will live.
Judge Cui was accompanying Li Shimin at that time. After checking, he found that it read "Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in Nanfangbuzhou was destined to be in the 13th year of Zhenguan." That is to say, Li Shimin was supposed to die in the 13th year of Zhenguan. As a result, Cui
The judge took the judge's pen and added two strokes on the word "一".
As a result, the Ten Palaces of Hell saw that Taizong was destined to be in the thirty-third year of Zhenguan, and then Li Shimin, the orthodox emperor of the human world, was put into a coffin and prepared to be carried because of the judge, but he actually returned to the sun.
Extended life span of twenty years.
This is just like in the TV series, Kangxi was originally going to pass on the fourteenth elder brother, but ended up adding a cross and a tick on it, and it became the fourth elder brother. It is full of absurdity.
If it weren't for Journey to the West, I don't know what it would have been like...
Not to mention what is behind this, at least the power of the judge is really not small. At this time, Judge Zhao looked through the book of life and death, entered Hou Yi in the search bar, and started to query.
bite!
Dead machine...
In fact, it is not such an exaggeration. It is not that the book of life and death is in danger, but that some accidents happened when Judge Zhao was looking for Hou Yi's reincarnation.
"Why can't I find Hou Yi?"
Judge Zhao searched for it several times, not to mention Hou Yi's reincarnation, there was no record of Hou Yi's past, and his heart could not help but beat fast, as if returning the sun.
This is not just a cat or a dog, but a hero who shoots the sun. He is protected by the aura of heaven and can achieve extraordinary achievements after reincarnation.
Why is it gone?
However, Judge Zhao could not see any abnormality on the surface, and said to Fairy Chang'e: "Fairy, please wait a moment, I will report to Yama."
Fairy Chang'e did not doubt that he was there, nodded and said: "Thank you, judge."
But Huang Shang saw something was wrong. It was a very simple matter. Just find out where the reincarnation was and that was it. What should I report to Yama? It was not about trying to get people from the eighteenth level of hell...
I'm afraid there may be some setbacks.
As expected, Judge Zhao did not come back after leaving.
Fairy Chang'e was bored, holding the Jade Rabbit in her arms, playing with her, but the Jade Rabbit ignored her, crawled on her wrist, and lay down on the Buddha beads.
So soft and tender, Huang Shang just looked like he was wearing a little cotton-padded jacket.
Then……
One day passed.
Two days have passed.
Three days...
Chang'e couldn't wait any longer and headed directly towards the underworld.
Her painting style was quite different from that of this place. As soon as she entered the city, she attracted the attention of ghosts. Soon after, the judges got wind of the situation and took action.
It’s just that Judge Zhao from before was missing, and there were two other people who came to receive him. One was fat, one thin, one tall and one short. They both had kind faces and professional smiles.
The two judges welcomed Fairy Chang'e into the gate of the Underworld. Each took a book of life and death and made a record: "I wonder what the fairy did when she came to the underworld?"
Fairy Chang'e said: "I want to find the reincarnation of my husband Houyi."
The two judges looked at each other: "As for the situation of the fairy, let's register it first!"
With that said, she handed over a small notebook. After Fairy Chang'e took it, she wrote the request in ancient characters on it.
The two judges took it and began to confirm: "Guanghan Palace, Fairy Chang'e?"
Fairy Chang'e nodded: "It's me."
The judge asked again: "Looking for someone?"
Fairy Chang'e was puzzled: "Looking for someone."
The judge got to the point: "The person you are looking for is Hou Yi. You and I are husband and wife. Do you have any proof of relationship?"
Fairy Chang'e was stunned.
During the Five Emperors period, where did the proof of relationship come from?
The judge habitually looked embarrassed: "If the fairy cannot prove her relationship with Hou Yi, the underworld may not be able to provide this reincarnation information!"
Fairy Chang'e looked at the two judges with an angry expression.
Seeing that the other party was emotional, the two judges exchanged glances: "We are not unreasonable, we just have to follow the rules!" "How about inviting Yama!" "Please wait a moment, fairy, we will invite Yama and follow the procedures...
…”
Finally, the leader came.
The City King of the Ten Palaces of Yama appeared, shaking his big belly, and sat down in front of the palace.
Fairy Chang'e didn't wait to be asked and immediately answered: "I, Chang'e, am looking for reincarnation. It doesn't matter if I prove it."
"Fairy, don't be anxious! Fairy, don't be anxious!"
The city king was calm, held his belt, and said slowly: "What is the purpose of the fairy looking for Hou Yi to reincarnate?"
Fairy Chang'e was startled: "Hou Yi is my husband, I just want to reincarnate him, what's the use of it?"
City King said: "Yes, yes, yes, I understand. Has the fairy gone to the Chakravartin King?"
Fairy Chang'e said blankly: "No!"
The City King said slowly: "This won't work. The fairy will first go to the Wheel King to issue a certificate of relationship with Hou Yi, and then come to us."
Fairy Chang'e turned and left.
…
Half an hour later, King Chakravartin walked out slowly. After repeating the process, he slowly frowned: "Does the fairy have the fortune of Hou Yi?"
Fairy Chang'e was stunned again: "No."
The King of Wheels: "We have the trust of the Jade Emperor. We in the Netherworld govern the cycle of life and death. We have a heavy responsibility and we dare not neglect it. Without Hou Yi's heavenly fortune, we really can't act according to the rules. The fairy must first go to the King of Eunuchs and open a meeting."
Share Tianlu."
…
King Wuguan: "Well, let's understand each other. The fairy must first find King Ping."
…
King Ping Ping: "Tsk tsk, this is not easy to handle. Fairy must go to King Chu Jiang first."
…
When Fairy Chang'e ran to the tenth hall and saw King Qin Guang, King Qin Guang rubbed his chin: "Fairy, you are in the wrong order."
Fairy Chang'e was like a withered flower, asking mechanically: "What's wrong?"
King Qin Guang said: "The fairy should go to the City King first and ask him to issue a certificate to prove the relationship, and then come to me."
Fairy Chang'e clenched her little fist: "Why did you turn back again?"
King Qin Guang shook his head and showed an apologetic smile: "We have to act according to the rules."
Fairy Chang'e:￣(oo)￣
Jade Rabbit:￣(oo)￣
Huang Shang silently gave a thumbs up.
A very familiar process.
Fairy Chang'e ran around in the ten palaces. When she left the Yama Palace of King Qin Guang, she stood blankly on the steps and suddenly wanted to go back to Guanghan Palace.
Fortunately, at this moment, the Buddhist beads on her wrist lit up, and gentle power was transmitted to her, giving her support.
Fairy Chang'e hurriedly sent out aid: "I hope the Bodhisattva will give me some guidance!"
The Bodhisattva's voice came, this time instead of the ten words, it was replaced by another familiar sentence: "If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha, and only by saving all sentient beings can I realize Bodhi!"
Fairy Chang'e's beautiful eyes lit up: "Thank you Bodhisattva for your guidance!"
Since the Ten Palaces of Yama are asking for help, we should go to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
After the words fell, the Lord Buddha turned into little golden light and dissipated, which made Chang'e believe that the Bodhisattva had already suffered this setback, so she left a reminder.
In fact, it was Huang Shang who knew that the Buddha beads he transformed could not be hidden from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so he found an opportunity to transform again.
Fairy Chang'e was so focused on Hou Yi's whereabouts and Bodhisattva's instructions that she didn't notice that there was an extra rabbit among the local products in her sleeves.
The jade rabbits watched blankly, and a rabbit appeared among the rabbits.
Huang Shang took advantage of the nearest Jade Rabbit before he could react and directly handed him a carrot.
The Jade Rabbit grinned, gnawed the carrot with its teeth, and came closer: "Do you want to resist too?"
Under heavy pressure, there must be resistance. Huang Shang saw with his own eyes the little-known secrets of Guanghan Palace, and deeply understood why the Jade Rabbit Spirit wanted to descend to earth, and nodded solemnly.
The Jade Rabbit immediately regarded him as his rabbit, bit off half of the carrot with a bang, and handed over the other half.
Huang Shang had no choice but to gnaw carrots, stay in Chang'e's sleeves, and observe the movements of the outside world.
At this time, Fairy Chang'e had arrived outside the temple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Huang Shang showed expectation.
He speculated that it was most likely that there was something wrong with Hou Yi's reincarnation, and the Tenth Palace Yama wanted Fairy Chang'e to retreat in spite of the difficulties, which led to the scene of kicking the ball.
But in terms of the rules, I really can’t fault it. After all, the underworld has its own procedures.
Huang Shang followed Chang'e to the underworld. It was just a stopover, and he was not prepared for anything to happen. He did not expect this accident.
Hou Yi was not an ordinary person. The loss of this reincarnation was enough to make big news. In addition, the Reincarnation Pillar, one of the eight pillars, was in the underworld, so Huang Shang naturally paid attention to it.
It doesn’t matter whether there are dates or not, let’s take a shot first and then talk about it.
"Fairy please!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has no subordinate judges. As soon as Fairy Chang'e arrived at the entrance of the hall, Ting Ting, who had the head of a tiger and one horn, the body of a dragon and a lion's tail, crept out and invited her in.
Fairy Chang'e entered the empty palace and walked deep into the palace. She saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva feeding demons with his body and transforming evil spirits. She showed respect and saluted respectfully: "Bodhisattva!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together: "Fairy Chang'e!"
Just when Fairy Chang'e was telling her the purpose of her visit, Di listened back to the seat of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, put her ears to the ground, and suddenly her eyes moved, looking into Chang'e's sleeves...
