Chapter 87 Six Paths of Reincarnation
???
Tathagata looked confused.
After being stunned for five or six seconds, I came back to my senses and looked at Po Meng up and down several times before I was convinced that she had really forgotten everything.
Is this the last choice of Empress Houtu?
Tathagata's expression was complicated.
Before coming to the underworld, he considered a lot of things.
For example, how to persuade Empress Houtu to support Buddhism’s rule in the underworld, how to show Buddhism’s friendly attitude towards the shaman tribe, how to get Empress Houtu to hand over the Tunnel of Reincarnation to Buddhism, etc.
But now, the punch landed in the air.
All he saw was Meng Po looking at him with a puzzled look on her face and asked: "Big fat man, she said that her name is not Empress Houtu, but Empress Houtu is a god in the sky. Have you mistakenly recognized the person?"
Tathagata clasped his hands together and said, "I recognized the wrong person. Please forgive me!"
But the layer of Buddha's light only trembled slightly, and Tathagata did not move at all.
The Asura tribe living in it were exposed to the Buddha's light as the sea of blood receded.
Now, he has more important things to do.
"Disciples must obey the Lord's teachings."
"Disciple has seen the World Honored One." Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stood up and held the disciple's bow with a respectful attitude, and asked: "What is the purpose of the World Honored One coming here?"
The whole underworld is in panic.
A roar came from the depths of the blood sea.
The sea surface dropped rapidly, but in an instant, the blood sea shrank by thousands of miles.
The Tathagata said: "Your Majesty, you can first go to the Wangxiang Terrace on the Wangchuan River and you will understand this matter."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was shocked, put his palms together to take refuge, and asked before the Buddha: "What is the six paths of reincarnation?"
When he raised his head, he had already forgotten the Tathagata next to him. He only looked at the tearful ghost in front of him and advised: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. You have been worrying about it all your life. Why are you here and still can't relax?"
when!
The sword energy struck the light shield, bursting out with extremely dazzling light, and the terrifying aftermath of mana washed away, as if it was about to turn the entire sea of blood over.
The Tathagata said with great joy: "No one else can do this, but Ksitigarbha Venerable has no problem. The Venerable Lord has made a great wish, 'I will never become a Buddha until hell is empty.'
Be upright and impartial, and no one can fault you at all."
Po Meng stirred the stone pot a few times with a snake-head cane, scooped out a spoonful, and said, "You are here, do you want some soup?"
At this moment, pieces of blood rolled and spread quickly, suddenly appearing in the bright Buddha light and occupying a corner of the sky.
Zheng!
A huge mountain-like sword energy slashed towards Tathagata.
Under the illumination of the Buddha's light, those Asuras sat cross-legged on the ground, put their palms together to take refuge, and recited scriptures along with the Tathagata: "...The Immortal holds the Vajra. The Swift Blade holds the Vajra. The Tathagata Armor holds the Vajra.
The Tathagata says that he is born and holds gold..."
Tathagata suddenly knew something in his mind.
The surrounding scenery changes again.
Look at the traces of movement at the end of Naihe Bridge.
However, the Tathagata did not dare to push too hard. He only took back most of the land that Patriarch Styx had invaded for thousands of years. This was regarded as fulfilling the merits of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so he stopped.
These two people, one is the Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha, and the other is the ancestor of the Netherworld Blood Sea Styx. They are both the top powers in the world. They have endless methods and magic weapons. They can only fight to turn the world upside down and the sea of blood rolling.
.
Another step forward.
The sea of blood boiled again, and the speed of reduction was even faster than before.
However, Ancestor Ming He couldn't hold himself back. He stepped on the twelve-level blood lotus platform and held the two swords of Ah Bi Yuan Tu in his hand, rolling up a huge wave of blood and pointing directly at the Tathagata.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took the order and left, while Tathagata fought with Patriarch Styx.
"This matter is of great importance and requires someone with compassion and great power to preside over it. I wonder if the venerable one is willing to go?"
"There's no point in forgiving or not! Just admit your mistakes if you admit them! Old lady, I often admit my mistakes too!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the mystery, and immediately approached the lotus platform.
He bowed to the Buddha three times and said: "This is the best way! I am not talented, but I am willing to give it a try!"
"I also got a drop of ancestral witch essence blood from Empress Houtu, and I faked the incarnation and turned it into the tree demon Li Changshou."
The Tathagata clasped his hands together, and appeared as a golden body. The Buddha's light behind his head shone brightly, like a great sun hanging in the sky. He also emitted the light of the relics, turning into forty-two rainbows, connecting the north and the south, illuminating the entire underworld.
.
The only thing that puzzled him was why Empress Houtu put so much effort into that monkey?
"I heard that at one time Bhagavan was staying in the vast Vajra Dharma Realm Palace blessed by the Tathagata. All Vajra holders were gathered together. The Tathagata..."
"It seems that the monkey learned the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique here!"
Ksitigarbha asked, "What should I pay attention to when I go here?"
"All living beings in the world enter different paths according to their good and evil karma in life, so as to determine poverty, disadvantage, misfortune and blessings in the next life, so that the cause and effect are clear and all living beings are good."
"Nine-grade Golden Lotus?" Ancestor Minghe snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Those two from the Western Sect are so generous to you! These treasures are not passed on to their disciples and grandchildren, but they are given to you, a halfway monk! Could it be that in
Before becoming a god, you had already gotten involved with Western religions..."
"That's such a pity! Every spoonful of my soup tastes different, and they all like to drink it!" Po Meng shook her head with some regret, picked up the stone spoon, put it to her mouth, tasted it, and smacked it again.
He sneered and said, "It's mostly spicy, salty and bitter."
The Tathagata said: "The so-called six paths of reincarnation divide the tunnel of reincarnation into six. There are three good paths, the path of gods, the path of human beings, and the path of Shura; there are three evil paths, the path of hell, the path of evil ghosts, and the path of animals."
This battle lasted for half a year.
The Tathagata was unhurried and said calmly: "Venerable Ksitigarbha, please take these newly converted Asuras to practice the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and leave this to me."
"Fellow Daoist Styx, why are you so angry! These should not be your Asura clansmen!"
"Tathagata! You are going too far!"
Tathagata didn't say anything more. He only bowed respectfully to Po Meng and took one step forward to reach the Naihe Bridge.
Seeing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva enlightened, he added: "Besides, this matter is not feasible by one person. I will find some helpers for the Venerable."
Tathagata couldn't understand it, but he wasn't confused.
I saw a bloody wind in the distance, and a boundless sea of blood with surging waves.
Tathagata's chanting voice directly suppressed the voice of Patriarch Styx.
The Tathagata clasped his hands together, with a look of compassion on his face, and said: "I look at the Yin Division of Mount Tai, which only has the power to control the underworld, but does not have the power to control the underworld. As a result, the evil ghosts Shura in the underworld are wreaking havoc, and the good and bad fortunes in the world are out of order.
Those who do good deeds will not have a good ending, and those who do evil will not have bad retribution. Our Buddha is compassionate and cannot bear to see such tragic things. Now there is the law of reincarnation in the six paths, which can make all sentient beings' good and evil retribution."
Streams of blood rose into the sky, but under the illumination of the Buddha's light, they quickly turned into wisps of blue smoke and disappeared.
The final result ended with Tathagata slightly better.
In an instant, the bloody storm in the sky disappeared, and the sea of blood began to roll violently as if it had been boiled.
Sutras were read out from Tathagata's mouth one after another, turning into dazzling golden characters that filled the sky, flying in all directions, and constantly falling on the sea of blood.
Could it be that the monkey has more talent and potential than I thought?
Is it worthy of Empress Houtu to value it so much?
Tathagata shook his head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness. The poor monk doesn't like soup."
The ferocity on their faces gradually dissipated and turned into peace and tranquility. They all knelt down on the ground, surrounded by a faint light of Buddha, and chanted in unison: "Namo Great Sun Tathagata! Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"
The Tathagata put his palms together to take refuge, sat down and the golden lotus Buddha's light was shining, forming a layer of light that enveloped the Tathagata.
"Damn bald donkey! How despicable and shameless! You will fall out at any time! I am so angry!"
Deep in the blood sea, Patriarch Styx's eyes were red, and he angrily asked King Asura beside him: "It's been so long, what did the Bull Demon King say?"
King Asura trembled with fright and hurriedly said: "The Bull Demon King has promised to help us open a road in the abyss of darkness so that we can cross the weak water and enter the human world."
"Okay!" Ancestor Minghe gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Lingshan! Tathagata! Just wait for the surprise that Ancestor gives you!"
