In the end, there were only a few traces hanging on the wall and dripping on the ground, proving that She Disheng once existed.
Although Lord Yama, the Wheel-turning King, entered the underworld, he still well inherited the tradition of being in hell without a door, honorably handed over his position, and left opportunities to those who are more in need.
He did not even sit on the throne of Yama for a full time. Although his body disappeared, the residual warmth was still there.
Of course, he also thought of many ways to protect himself, such as absorbing Yin gods and ghosts and forming the forces of the Wheel Palace. For example, making friends with various Yang gods and sketching out the idea of ​​the so-called "Yin Tianzi". For example, contacting the Mohist family...
The King of Wheels can certainly serve as an important entrance for the Mohists to open up the underworld, and the grudges between She Disheng and the Mohists may therefore be discussed again.
Unfortunately, these operations take time.
After the battle in [Ji Ji Zang], Yin Guan didn't even take much rest before rushing into the nether world and smashing through the Yama Palace.
Of course, there is also She Disheng’s most important reliance——
He thought that the transcendent Ksitigarbha would protect the Palace of Yama and protect him, the strongest and most important Lord of Yama, and he indeed felt the grace of Ksitigarbha.
But [True Ksitigarbha] and [Jijizo] are completely different. The latter is a specific existence that has been eliminated, although the former also has a specific form - "Walking on the land of the underworld, covering everything with hands and feet."
"Bones, transformed souls" - but it is already a regular existence.
For [True Ksitigarbha], the only thing that matters is order.
"King of Wheels" is very important, but "She Disheng" is not.
Jiang Wang, who participated in the end of "Jiji Zang", had rich experience in dealing with this kind of existence, and could easily "persuad him to leave".
Although King Chakravartin is sitting in the Palace of Yamas, he is titled as the Great King of One Side, with Ksitigarbha above him and divine soldiers and ghost soldiers below him. When Yin Guan came to kill him, he was actually naked and standing alone, with no reinforcements at all!
Yin Guan was quite calm during the whole killing process, and he didn't feel any emotion after killing She Disheng. He only glanced at Bi Hen and turned around, saying calmly: "They clearly saw She Disheng sending them a message, but they didn't take the opportunity to take action.
A desperate fight. It seems I overestimated their courage."
Of course the monks knew who this 'them' was, and said somewhat funny: "Isn't it true that he betrayed She Disheng just like he betrayed you?"
"He betrayed us." Yin Guan corrected.
The monk of all beings gently flipped his palms, brushed away the dust in Suying Palace, and said casually: "I guess they are no longer in the underworld."
Yin Guan closed his eyes and felt it for a while, then curled his lips and said, "I even gave up my priesthood."
In a sense, the Palace of Yama is to the underworld, just like the Taixu Pavilion is to the illusion of Taixu.
If there is someone who can completely control the Palace of Yama, get the support of [True Ksitigarbha], and then subdue all parties to unify the underworld, the idea of ​​"Son of the Underworld" is not all empty talk.
In this case, the priesthood of Yama in the Yama Palace is a clearly visible path to the Yangshen, and will surely occupy a key position in the future pattern of the underworld.
If Yin Guan were in this position, he would definitely fight to the death.
If you survive this time, the sea will be brighter, the sky will be brighter, and you will have an infinite future.
She Disheng had an ideal that must be realized and a position as the Yang God that she could not give up, so she stayed and gambled.
But the Prince of Guan and the City King were as cautious as ever. They had lost the priesthood they had worked so hard for a while ago, and they would rather have nothing than play the same gambling table with King Qin Guang.
"With your current strength, as long as you have a name, no matter where they escape, they should not be able to escape your curse, right?" asked the monk.
"How should I put it... There are still many talented people in our organization. They all know me very well and have been prepared for my methods. Just like She Disheng just now, I didn't curse him to death immediately because he
He replaced his life with a rune puppet."
Yin Guan said calmly: "I don't know what means those two guys used, and I can't find any trace for a while."
Because he couldn't trace the trace and the curse was unbreakable, he started from the Bizhen Palace and the Taihe Palace, trying to follow the clues through the priesthood of the City King and the Official King - but in the end, these two were completely separated from the priesthood of the underworld.
Run away from danger.
How on earth did he escape from the priesthood under She Disheng's nose and leave She Disheng here alone to hold the vat?
He was a little curious!
What a talent.
"It's really not surprising." The monk said.
"They are lucky." Yin Guan retracted his long and thin fingers and hid them in his sleeves.
He has long been aware of betrayal and does not expect anyone's loyalty.
There is not even a word of "hate" for the King of Officials and the King of the City - do you still know what they are? If they are truly loyal, Yin Guan would have to be careful.
The only difference between these two bastards and She Disheng is that they are not responsible for the death of King Chu Jiang.
So if he can kill easily, he doesn't mind if he kills easily. If not...it depends on his mood.
There were inscriptions carved by Sanskrit in the main hall, and the monks looked at them quietly for a while.
After he finished reading, Yin Guan asked: "You're already here, aren't you going to sit in your Mingchen Palace?"
The monk said: "If you really need it, I will go."
The grudges between Yin Guan and Jing Guo were already over when Lou Jiangyue made peace. With Lou Jiangyue's death and Lou Yue's demonic fall, both sides had a common enemy.
Today, Yin Guan is no longer in the same predicament as he was when he formed Hell Gateless. When faced with [Zhi Ji Zang], he also used his merits to clear the way and contributed a blow. However, after killing She Disheng, he still has two truly worthy
Terrible enemy.
One is called "Shen Xia", and the other is called "Seven Hatreds".
Shenxia is the pinnacle of the world's world, and the Seven Hatreds are transcendent and supreme existences.
For Yin Guan now, detachment is still a very distant thing. But there is indeed a path in front of him——
She Disheng spoke of the Son of Heaven.
No matter who you are, no matter what path you have taken before, if you can bring relief to the underworld once and for all, you will be able to achieve transcendence.
But they all understand that in today's era, no one can achieve anything in the underworld.
Even someone as strong as Hong Junyan would face numerous obstacles on the road to promoting Li's hegemony. Although the underworld is vast, it cannot accommodate any unfamiliar forces.
Ming Tianzi is indeed a piece of fat meat. The two people standing here are willing to help each other try it, but neither of them has the appetite to taste it themselves.
Yin Guan yawned: "This body of yours is quite boring. You can't be joking."
The monk said: "There is no need to force it open."
Yin looked at him and said, "See you next time."
As he spoke, he walked forward and pushed open the door of Suying Palace——
The shadowy gods and ghosts are all in the distance. In the square outside the palace, there are only two figures in crown clothes.
One is the King of Equality and the other is the King of Yama.
When King Chakravartin was in danger, of course he also asked for help from his dear colleagues. His colleagues couldn't bear to see his miserable condition, so they closed the palace door silently and only came out at this time.
King Pingping lowered his head and saluted: "Boss..."
King Yama prostrated directly and banged his forehead heavily on the ground: "I see you, the leader!"
At this moment, there was only Yin Guan left in the Suying Palace, wearing a black robe and long hair. He walked out of the palace, looked up at the sky of the underworld, and said nothing. From the standing King Pingping and the kneeling
He passed by the lying king of Yama.
It was as if they had never known each other and had nothing to do with each other since then.
Ghosts and gods are like a tide, dividing their ways for him.
…
…
The boundless sea of ​​clouds merges again, and the mustard seeds on Mount Sumeru are filled with sorrow.
Master Yongde's naturally smiling face showed a rare hint of worry. He stood in the tall and spacious Heavenly King's Hall, holding a razor in his hand, which was about to fall but not fall, hanging there for a long time.
The tall golden statues of the four heavenly kings use exaggerated paint to outline their majesty. They are separated on two sides and look down at the hall quietly, as if they were the Buddha observing the world.
"Do you really want to shave?" Yongde asked.
There was a futon in front of him. The person sitting on the futon should have been in the empty posture of retreating into Buddhism, but he smiled brightly and wantonly: "Master, if you don't shave it off with this knife, what will I do?"
Zhaowu next to him opened his mouth: "Your Majesty——"
"Be careful!" Xiong Ji raised his palm to cut off his words: "The current Emperor of Chu is Xiong Zidu! He has removed his crown, and the Zen Master can no longer call him His Majesty."
The relationship between Mount Sumeru and the State of Chu has always been harmonious. Although their respective interests are different and there are occasional fights, they are still consistent in the general direction. There was even a period of close intimacy in history. Zen practice on Mount Sumeru,
Befriending the strong men of Chu is nothing new.
For example, Zhaowu has always respected Huang Weizhen.
At this moment, he also said: "You just abdicated, and the Great Chu State Master was kidnapped over there. If the three emperors had not hunted together, the masters of Shanhai Dao were watching, and Zhenhe Zhenhe had seized the bell, the consequences would be unpredictable. The days to come will be long and the storm will be turbulent.
I don’t know how much…are you really just watching?”
"It may be an unfortunate thing for him to face this battle when he first ascends the throne, but it may also be a kind of luck. The emperor is said to be a loner, and this is a test that the emperor must face."
Xiong Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't comment on how well he did. Since I have escaped into Buddhism, everything in the Chu Kingdom naturally has nothing to do with me."
He had no choice but to lie to himself. Before the dust settled over the East China Sea, he was not seen walking towards Mount Sumeru.
But given his status and past achievements, expressing his stance to this extent also shows his determination to be tonsured.
[Zhi Ksitigarbha] caused a turmoil in the East China Sea, and the World Honored One's three bells were shaken. He gave support to [Zhi Ksitigarbha], and there must be an explanation. Later, he supported Jiang Wang with the three bells, which was a statement of position, but it did not mean that
Let’s turn this story around.
Tu Hu's side is okay, after all, Mu Guo is behind him.
Xuankong Temple and Mount Xumi require careful consideration.
Xiong Ji, who ended his ruling career under the name "Chu Liezong", suddenly came to his door and wanted to be ordained and become a monk at Mount Sumeru.
This is a transaction in itself.
Today, the biological father of the Son of Chu was ordained at Mount Sumeru. How can the people of Chu settle Mount Sumeru's debt?
How could the state of Chu not protect Mount Xumi?
How could Mount Xumi not impart some real skills to this monk-like emperor?
Yongde lowered his brow and said, "I am not good at practicing Zen. I really don't understand. When the benefactor was the emperor, he was a powerful figure in the world. After he abdicated, he became a hero in ancient and modern times. Why did a figure who is famous in history want to enter Buddhism? Although the Buddha's teaching is boundless, this -
—Who can save you?"
"Of course, the abbot will be tonsured on behalf of the master." Xiong Ji said with a smile: "Why, Master Yongde really wants to be my master?"
"No, no, no." Yongde shook his head quickly: "I can't do this!"
When he was the emperor, Xiong Ji was the most powerful person in the world. After abdicating the throne, Xiong Ji was also one of the few true kings in the world. Even if he lost the blessing of Chu State, he would not be worse than Yongde in all aspects.
If a person like Xiong Ji really worshiped him as Yongde's disciple, then the Sutra of Maitreya's Rebirth must be passed on, and there would be no second choice for the next abbot of Mount Xumi.
Even if Xiong Ji could give up his face, Yongde would never have this intention.
Xiong Ji smiled: "The abbot asked me the reason for my tonsure. Since I want to enter this sect, I still need to give the abbot a real answer."
He was sitting there in the posture of being ordained. He could be said to have a calm smile and a noble demeanor. He once held the majesty of the world and it was difficult to lose it for a while.
"To put it bluntly, when I was in power, I still had some prestige. Now that I have returned with great power, I am able to retreat from the top, which is also a sign of the support and trust of the people of the country. However, there is a new king in Dachu, and I, the former king, have
With the existence of the sun, people's hearts will inevitably be unstable. Whenever there are some troubles in the country, and someone comes to ask Lie Zong what he means, how will the emperor deal with it?"
"Once the emperor, once the world. For his good, my own good, and the good of Chu country, I can only avoid it."
"Throughout the ages, wise lords and benevolent and righteous kings have often avoided death or fled to the heavens."
Xiong Ji spread his hands: "I don't want to die, and I don't want to live in the world, so I have no choice but to become a monk."
Yongde said with a bitter face: "There are also royal temples in Chu State, why do you want to go far away instead of the near ones?"
Xiong Ji laughed: "Who there believes in Buddhism? They don't even take it seriously!"
"What I do in my life, I either don't do it, or I do it to the best of my ability. The same is true for governance, and the same is true for cultivating Buddhism. Since you want to be ordained, you can only enter the great sect. If you abandon Sumeru and go to the sky, you will abandon the near and seek the far-" He sat down
There, he put his hands on his knees and raised his head: "Master Yongde hesitated with his sword raised. Is it because he was afraid that my Dharma would improve and pass you by?"
Yongde put his palms together for a moment and said: "There is no high or low in Buddhism. Those who are better than me will benefit me, and those who are wiser than me will enlighten me. Bodhi is vast and will support my merits, which is what I wish for."
"I have been taught." Xiong Ji lowered his head and said, "Now that I have been taught by my senior brother, I am overjoyed."
After saying that, he reached out and took the razor from Yongde's hand, and wiped it on his head, all the worries were wiped away. The black hair everywhere turned to ashes, leaving only a shiny bald head, like a halo of Buddhist light.
Xiong Ji shaved himself.
Yongde sighed: "The donor has been doing his own thing throughout his life, and he doesn't do anything to others when he gets tonsure. He is a true hero!"
"That's not true. Emperor Liuhe, I will take advantage of the new emperor and treat the next generation with the country of Chu." Xiong Ji said calmly: "There are things that can and cannot be done, and fate cannot be fulfilled. It's just the things that I can do well.
, I’ll do it myself. Why bother? Although the razor is light, the trouble is heavy, so I’ll take care of it myself.”
After his black hair faded, Xiong Ji called him "senior brother", and it was an established fact that he worshiped in Mount Xumi.
And it was collected by Yongde on behalf of his deceased master Zhaochen.
Once the door and wall are in, the boat is ready, and Yongde happily accepts it.
A smile bloomed again on his fat face, and he looked at Xiong Ji gently: "Junior brother has entered the Zen sect, which is also a great joy for me in Mount Sumeru. The previous teacher has passed away, and I accept disciples on my behalf, and I am also your current master.
Choose a Dharma name. The name of Xumishan is "Lie Xuan Qingji to achieve enlightened conduct, and follow the eternal universal truth to save the world". We are the generation of "Yong". If you say junior brother...let me see which word is worthy of junior brother.
"
Xiong Ji interrupted his thinking with a smile: "What words can I choose?"
"Theoretically, as long as no one has used it within five generations, it's okay." Yongde saw that he wanted to take it for himself, so he raised his fat palm. There was a vast universe in his palm, with countless Sanskrit characters floating and floating in it: "We who practice Zen,
Precious fate, I also want to see which word my junior brother is related to."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome!" Xiong Ji stood up with a smile on his face, raised his hand and took the Sanskrit word "universe" in Yongde's palm. He gently closed his five fingers, then opened them, and pinched out a word.
.
This character has the light of red gold. Standing in the palm of Xiong Ji, it feels heavy!
He smiled and said: "How about getting the word 'Heng'?"
Yongde Surong: "This name... is too big."
"The word 'Ji' in my lay family is also very big, and I can't unload the burden on my shoulders. I have no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward - only by doing something strong can we move forward." Xiong Ji raised his palm and saluted him.
Chapter completed!
