Chapter 167: Changing the Book of Life and Death (2) Suddenly, Sanskrit sounds were heard everywhere, shrouding the entire Emperor's Palace and even Fengdu City under this peaceful melody, and the appearance of such a sound also caused the chaos in the main hall of the Emperor's Palace.

The ghosts outside who were fighting to the death suddenly put down their weapons and stood motionless. At this time, they seemed to be enjoying such a stable and peaceful melody, and all the disputes seemed to disappear.

They have all been put down, it is not important. Among these ghosts, naturally include the guards of the Emperor's Palace who work hard for the safety of the Emperor's Palace, and also include those ghosts who promoted the rebellion in order to capture the Emperor's Palace, and even the Emperor.

The black and white, impermanence and other living and spiritual creatures outside the palace city

In front of Buddhism, there is no difference between all living and spiritual creatures. They are all treated equally. What can distinguish all these is only the difference between good and evil cause and effect. Even in the main hall of the Emperor's Palace, Pan, who has been seriously injured,

Jie is no exception. At this time, he is enjoying the endless healing that Fanyin brings to his body. He may have even let go of his hatred. On Cui Yu's side, the moment Fanyin thinks of him, he has been unconscious.

Cui Yu also slowly regained consciousness, and after regaining consciousness, all he did was kneel down on his knees immediately, as if to greet him, or perhaps to pray. In short, Cui Yu also seemed to have forgotten this moment.

Faced with everything, in an instant, Fengdu City, which was still very prosperous just now, became quiet, quiet, and peaceful.

As for the violent dead souls who came from outside the Ten Hells, their reaction at this time was completely different from that of the ghosts, because their hearts were filled with more violence, and their hearts were filled with more hatred and hostility.

, so when faced with such a peaceful melody, such a purifying melody will not only not prompt them to calm down, but will instead make them feel self-blame from the heart, a kind of self-blame that cleanses their souls, and they will see that they are under the melody.

, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, looking unbearably regretful.

This is the purifying Sanskrit sound, which can wash away all sins. It can clear the regrets in the hearts of those who have good intentions but have done wrong things, allowing them to regain their lives and face those who have deep-rooted sins. The purifying Sanskrit sound

, but it is a melody that can arouse remorse in their hearts, make them realize their mistakes, blame themselves, and lose the source of all sins.

"Why do you, Xitian, interfere with our affairs in the underworld? It was a mistake for you to come to the underworld in the first place... You shouldn't be here..." When the Sanskrit sound gradually faded away, Jiang Hongling seemed to be on the verge of dying.

, his figure emerged from the damaged wall pillars, and he reluctantly stood there, looking at the golden light outside the door, listening to the Sanskrit sounds that made him miserable, and cursed loudly.

"In order to save the world and show mercy, what's wrong? What's wrong is that you shouldn't have evil thoughts and rashly destroy everything that was originally stable..." Just as Jiang Hongling's voice said, in the main hall of the Emperor's Palace,

At the main entrance, a monk wearing cassocks, holding a lotus orb, and looking like a bhikkhu stood at the door and whispered to Jiang Hongling.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? It's really you... That's right. In the underworld, you are the only one who likes to meddle in such things. When the Buddha asked you to be a Buddha, you didn't do it right. Why did you say that hell is not empty?

If you don't become a Buddha, do you think hell will really be empty? If it's not empty, unless the human world perishes..." After seeing the appearance of this monk in the image of a bhikkhu, Jiang Hongling stabilized his body and said with a sneer.

At this time, the monk who appeared in the image of a bhikkhu was indeed the famous Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Among all the Bodhisattvas, only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not wear a heavenly crown on his head and wore a necklace. Only one pair was the same as an ordinary bhikkhu.

The image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shows people, there is no nobility, no great wisdom, everything is so ordinary and approachable. Perhaps this is the reason why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva leaves a deep impression on the world, because everything about him is equal to human beings.

At this time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard Jiang Hongling's words. Instead of being angry, he sighed with regret, shook his head slowly, and said to Jiang Hongling

"As long as you have kind thoughts, how can hell be empty? If there are no dead souls in hell and sins are repented, then the human world will not be equal to destruction, but equal to bliss, a paradise that belongs to the human world, and peace will be maintained forever.

...In this way, why not do it? And if..."

"Fart... What a paradise, isn't it all your fiction? You are deceiving yourself... If you really have no desires, then what level do you want to classify? What kind of Arhat Bodhisattva are you?" The words of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are still there.

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Hongling interrupted him loudly and cursed at him. Then, Jiang Hongling, who barely stood up, moved his hand, and the handle stopped in front of Pan Jie because of the golden light.

The sword instantly changed its direction and flew towards Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who was standing at the door of the main hall.

Jiang Hongling wanted to attack Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? When he was already dying? This was obviously in vain and meaningless, because even if he was not injured, he would definitely hurt Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

It's easy, the Bodhisattva has to show courtesy even to the Jade Emperor of the Heaven. He is just a dead soul who has been cultivating for many years. How can he get to the Bodhisattva? I saw that the sword has not yet reached Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

, was already knocked away by the golden light emanating from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

This time, it was not just as simple as knocking him away, but perhaps because he wanted to dispel his thoughts. After flying out, the long sword turned into several pieces without any warning, and then fell.

Falling to the ground, turning into dust and disappearing

Perhaps for Jiang Hongling, he was also aware of his attack, because after he summoned his long sword to attack Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he no longer paid attention to this side, but shook his body, turned around and slowly walked towards the Emperor

In the middle of the main hall, the Thousand Bones Throne, which symbolizes the throne of the Ghost King, is walking towards

"What if you become a Buddha? What if you don't become a Buddha? As long as you can save the world, even a layman can also have immeasurable merit. Is it true that for you, the title of Ghost King is worth coveting so much? What is the desire in your heart?

, why does it stay so long and immortal?" Looking at everything Jiang Hongling did at this time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

It is obvious that Jiang Hongling has no power to refute at this time, and under this situation, he is still trying to get the title of Ghost King, which seems to have no connection with him. Such desire for power really makes Ksitigarbha

When Bodhisattva Wang saw it, he couldn't help but sigh.

As Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke, the lotus in his hand suddenly rose slowly. When it flew to the top of Jiang Hongling's head, who had already reached the throne, Jiang Hongling's body instantly changed into the size of an ant and was slowly sucked into the lotus.

, and the jade seal representing the power of the underworld fell on the throne of bones.

"May you be able to comprehend the meaning of Zen in the lotus and change your past..." After the lotus flew back to the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at the lotus in his hand and whispered. After saying this, he whispered repeatedly

Reciting the Buddha's name

It was not until a few seconds after subduing Jiang Hongling that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slowly turned around, and saw that the orb in his hand suddenly flew out of the main hall of the Emperor's Palace, and suddenly shot out thousands of feet in the sky above the Emperor's Palace.

light

The light of the orb at this time was different from the golden light just now. It seemed to have a more binding force. The light suppressed the sound of Sanskrit, and the ghosts standing outside the temple suddenly knelt down to salute, and even worshiped to the sky.

This is true for all the creatures in Fengdu City, including the ghosts on duty, the wandering souls, and the souls of sinful souls who have been transformed. The only one who did not salute in this way was perhaps the one standing behind Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

, Zhang Qi, who has been silent all this time

At this time, Zhang Qi did not salute, not because he did not respect Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but because he did not know what he should do. Why did they salute in such a unified manner?

Just as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's orb was emitting light, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly turned around, looked at Zhang Qi who was extremely puzzled, and said

"Are you back? This incident is all thanks to your help. If it weren't for you, I believe that even if I arrived, the situation would have been over..."

"I'm back?" "You mean... I've been here?" At this time, Zhang Qi heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's words and couldn't help but ask in a low voice

"Oh?" But after Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard Zhang Qi's words, he couldn't help asking at first. Then just for a moment, he seemed to understand something. He couldn't help but nodded and smiled at Zhang Qi, "So that's it.

…”

"What is it? Have we met before? Why do I always seem to remember something, but it's vague? There are many things that I seem to remember, but I don't. Why is that?" Zhang Qi heard

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to hear some off-screen voice when he changed his words so quickly, and hurriedly asked him the question that he had been struggling with for a long time.

But when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard Zhang Qi’s words, a smile appeared on his face again, and he slowly said to Zhang Qi

"Buddha said, don't tell. It will not be good for you to leak the secret before the time has come... Even if I know, I can't tell."

"Can't say? What can't be said? Do I have to keep things about myself a secret? What's the point?" Zhang Qi was puzzled and asked again

"Can't say, it means that I can't say, but you want to know, but I can't say. What can't be said means that everything needs to be recalled by yourself and discovered slowly, because to know, memory,

Only through your own memories can this be called your own memory, not through someone between us, right?" After hearing Zhang Qi's words, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not seem to care about Zhang Qi's words.

He asked a direct question, but answered him carefully.

"You want me to recall it myself? But I really can't recall it. What I can recall now is that I remember that I have died, and my soul seems to have been here... I don't know the rest..." Zhang Qi

He took a few steps forward and said to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but before Zhang Qi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and said

"Look...aren't these memories just recalled by you? The reason why you can't recall others is because you don't need to know everything that doesn't belong to you yet. As long as the time comes, you will naturally let them know.

You know very well that when the time comes, if you still have any questions, I will answer it for you before it is too late..."

At this time, Zhang Qi heard that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had avoided answering his questions several times in a row. It was obvious that even if Zhang Qi struggled with this question again, he seemed to be unable to get an answer. Faced with such a

Of course, Zhang Qi didn’t want to miss the opportunity to know everything and be able to answer everything, so she asked again

"Then, I want to know why I am the Night Traveling Priest. Can you answer this question for me?"

For Zhang Qi, there are only two problems that have been bothering him. One is the memory he lost, and the other is why he became a night-walking priest. Why is it not someone else but himself?

Faced with Zhang Qi's question, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to have already expected it, and immediately said to Zhang Qi, "Yeyou Priest is a god given to you by heaven. There is no reason for this. If you really want to know why,

Well, you still need to answer it yourself, because the reasons for all this lie in everything you have done, not just in this life..."

Having said that, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not wait for Zhang Qi to ask again, and hurriedly smiled at Zhang Qi and said, "I have said a lot today. I believe that although these words cannot solve your problems, they can give you something to continue."

The reason for going down, isn't it? I will explain this matter to the superiors for you, but I have to leave the settlement to you. After all, there are still many dead souls waiting for me in the depths of hell...

…I have to face the vows I made…”

Before Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva finished speaking, Zhang Qi immediately took over the words and said, "Only when all sentient beings are saved can we realize Bodhi. If hell is not empty, we will never become a Buddha... Am I right?"

Having said that, a long-lost smile finally appeared on Zhang Qi's face, and she seemed to not want to continue to be entangled. Yes, all roads must be walked by oneself, and one needs to use one's own abilities to explore all of this.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who heard Zhang Qi's words, nodded to Zhang Qi who was very satisfied. After being satisfied, he said helplessly, "Yes, very yes, it is this vow. How can I really think that after so many years?

Yes, you still have the same character, you haven’t changed at all..."

Having said that, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to realize that he had said something he shouldn't have said. He immediately chanted the Buddha's name with a smile and turned around to leave. However, before he could step out of the main hall of the Emperor's Hall, he suddenly stopped.

He turned around and continued to talk to Zhang Qi again.

"By the way, I believe you have a companion named Xu Xiaoxiao. He went to the end of hell to find me for you. It is really rare. I hope you can cherish this companion..."

"Xu Xiaoxiao?" After hearing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's words, Zhang Qi remembered that she had not seen Xu Xiaoxiao for a long time after leaving the ghost prison. It turned out that he had gone to the end of hell, and what was the end of hell like?

Zhang Qi seemed to have arrived at the place where the dead souls from outside the palace had arrived. Then, Zhang Qi hurriedly asked again, "Xu Xiaoxiao... Where is Xu Xiaoxiao? Has he..."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to notice that Zhang Qi was a little worried. Before Zhang Qi could finish speaking, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, he's fine. He's just a little weak. I'll ask those ghosts to escort him back to Fengdu City. I believe he will be there soon."

Here we are... By the way, wait a moment to remind Judge Cui about the ghosts outside, those ghosts with distracting thoughts, I have also transformed them for them. After all, these ghosts were just used by those people, and now they have returned.

If you return to the right path, there will be no need for punishment..."

After that, before Zhang Qi could say anything, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva turned around and walked out of the palace door, taking back the orb in his hand. Then a huge lotus suddenly appeared under his feet. After smiling at Zhang Qi again, he disappeared in front of Zhang Qi.

After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva disappeared, the ghosts and dead souls who had just knelt down because of the orbs came back to their senses. Seeing this, how could Zhang Qi dare to delay? After all, although Zhang Qi believed that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had already

After transforming those ghosts, the dead souls were still dead souls and needed to be cured. Immediately, Zhang Qi hurriedly shouted to the ghosts who had recovered their senses outside the gate of the Emperor's Palace.

"Fengdu City's ghost police obey orders, and everyone performs their duties, escorting the souls to the Fengdu Ghost Prison, and waiting for Judge Cui to pronounce his sentence according to the law on a certain day..."

At this time, after Zhang Qi shouted loudly, the first person to react was none other than Pan Jie, the ghost commander of the Emperor's Palace. Pan Jie, who seemed to have recovered, immediately flew out from the main hall gate and organized his troops.

Take these dead souls into Fengdu Ghost Prison
