"This is the first time for the Holy Monk to come to my underworld. You may not know something. This is the characteristic of my underworld. There are eighteen levels of hell, knife mountain hell, oil pot hell, peeling hell, ice hell, etc. These are all punishments.
He is an unscrupulous person who seeks wealth and murder in the mortal world, kills innocent people indiscriminately, and deceives his destiny."
The endless wailing of those ghosts lingered in his ears, and Tang Sen couldn't bear to look directly. He saw that some of the dead souls were thrown directly into the hot oil pan and fried; some were frozen into ice sculptures in the biting ice hell;
Others were hung on the wall and skinned, which is simply a human tragedy.
He also heard Ma Mian's introduction, seeking wealth and killing, killing innocent people indiscriminately, deceiving destiny, well, in a word, he is wicked.
Seeing the miserable condition of these people, Tang Sen shuddered. Fortunately, it wasn't him.
However, there is a saying in the world, "Killing people and setting fires with gold belts, building bridges and building roads without corpses." It seems that this is not a lack of retribution. It is a loss of moral integrity. Those who harm nature and kill innocent people indiscriminately will eventually be punished.
Can you hide it from the world, can you hide it from heaven, can you hide it from ghosts and gods?
"Well, yes, there are many people in the world who are greedy and murderous. There is a long way to go to save all sentient beings." Dao Ming, who was next to him, also sighed and said. Seeing the miserable state of these punished people, he couldn't bear it, but he had no choice. What he had done was just
We must be responsible for it. The laws of nature are clear and no one can escape. The fairness and morality of the world are vividly displayed in this underworld.
"Then, how do you know that what you are doing is against the laws of nature?" Tang Sen asked Dao Ming curiously. Naturally, he would not ask Ma Mian this question, and it was impossible for him to know.
"I once heard the master say this." Dao Ming said after thinking for a while.
"Between heaven and earth, only human beings are the most spiritual. True spirituality communicates with heaven and earth and is in harmony with heaven. The most effective place in the human body is the heart. People also rely on it to survive. There is a little bit of the spirit of heaven and earth hidden in the heart. According to you,
In human terms, it should be called conscience, also called the sixth sense."
"When you want to do something, if you feel uneasy and have a sense of imminent disaster, then heaven and earth are warning you. If doing something makes you feel comfortable and your thoughts are clear, it is in line with heaven's virtue.
, Blessed." Dao Ming said slowly.
After hearing this, Tang Sen seemed to have some realization.
Although the three of them were talking along the way, they never stopped. After a while, they arrived at Senluo Hall.
"Two eminent monks, this is the Senluo Hall, the office of King Yama. Please wait for me to come and report." Ma Mian said with a respectful salute.
After saying that, he opened the door in front of him and walked in. On both sides of the palace, there were two mighty yakshas holding weapons and standing majestically. Apparently they knew Ma Mian and did not stop him when they saw him entering. They just stared at Tang Sen Er.
people.
When Tang Sen saw this, he couldn't act rashly, so he had to close his eyes and rest in peace. After a while, a ghost official came out.
"The king calls you in." After saying that, he turned around and walked into Senluo Hall.
Tang Sen and the other two did not hesitate and followed the ghost official into the court of the underworld.
Walking into the Senluo Palace, the two sides are not much different from those in a mortal court, except that the policemen have been replaced by ghost agents, all of them look fierce and have various weapons in their hands.
Sitting in the high hall was a tall figure wearing black and gold patterns and a crown on his head, staring at the two of them majestically.
This must be the famous King Yama.
Tang Sen secretly thought that this King Yama was too famous in the world.
However, the two of them were not afraid. Shi Shiran saluted and said calmly.
"The poor monk has seen King Yama."
Looking at the two calm-faced monks in the hall, one of them looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Despite this, King Yama was still a little unhappy and felt that his majesty had been challenged.
Every mortal in the past would not tremble in fear and kowtow repeatedly when seeing him. These two people really did not take him seriously.
Then he said in a low voice with a hint of annoyance.
"Who is there in this hall? Why don't you kneel down when you see me?" The voice was like the sound of a bell, echoing continuously in this solemn Senluo Palace.
Upon hearing this, Ma Mian standing next to him immediately changed his expression. When he came in, he just told the judge that there were two noble monks outside the door asking to see him. I don't know what the judge told King Yama.
He was obviously going to offend these two monks with extraordinary status. He was so excited that he was about to speak, but when he saw a warning look from the judge, he couldn't help but swallow the words on his lips again.
Can disciples of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still be bullied in this hell? Ma Mian secretly complained.
But don’t blame me for not reminding you, it was you who didn’t want me to say it.
Immediately, the old god stood aside and watched the excitement.
Seeing Ma Mian standing back to the sides honestly, the judge also curled his lips in disdain.
What is your identity? How can you speak in this Senluo Palace? Is your status noble? I'm afraid you are just the mortal King Xiao Guo or the prince. There is no nobility in these figures in the eyes of his judge. They are just the people under his command.
Just knowledge.
The judge muttered to himself, not paying much attention to this matter.
The sullen anger of King Yama and the eager stares of the ghosts on both sides suddenly put a burst of pressure on Tang Sen, who was about to speak.
Dao Ming beside him smiled and waved slightly, and the huge pressure disappeared without a trace. Tang Sen suddenly relaxed. The pressure just now was the unique power given to the Senluo Temple by the laws of the underworld. The owner of the Senluo Temple, King Yama, could naturally
It was used to suppress those sinners with strong magical powers. Unexpectedly, it was easily resolved by Dao Ming.
Tang Sen secretly glanced at Dao Ming beside him. He was indeed a disciple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This realm was probably that of Daluo Golden Immortal. Anyway, Tang Sen was infinitely close to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal. The pressure he felt just now was extremely huge, too.
Realm B cannot be as calm as Dao Ming.
To be honest, King Yama above may not be able to beat Tang Sen in terms of combat power, but in this Senluo Palace, he has the home field advantage and can use the power of the laws of the underworld, so he is naturally extraordinary.
"Amitabha, Dao Ming, a disciple of the poor monk Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, has met King Yama." After Dao Ming casually relieved Tang Sen's pressure, he smiled, put his hands together, and bowed slightly to King Yama above.
Seeing that the pressure he exerted did not overwhelm the two monks below, King Yama already felt that something was wrong. When he heard Dao Ming announce his identity, he was so frightened that he almost fell off the stool, and his expression suddenly changed.
He finally thought about why the Dao Ming looked familiar to him. It was because when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva went to the underworld to open a dojo, Yama, the Ten Palaces of Yamas, followed the Emperor Yama to visit him. At that time, the Dao Ming stood beside Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and so did King Yama.
I glanced at it twice and didn't care. Later, the two parties got along well. They were in two systems and had no contact with each other. They gradually forgot about it, so that now they can't even remember it in person.
Do you ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s disciples to kneel down?
Thinking of this, King Yama was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
He knew very well what role Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva played.
At that time, who didn’t know that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was here to grab the territory? But why did they give in?
Naturally Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has this strength.
Do you really think that Yama and the Son of Heaven of the Ten Palaces are going to visit Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? The underworld is the underworld, and Buddhism is Buddhism. If you, a Buddhist, want to get involved in the underworld and get a piece of the cake, it depends on whether they are willing.
King Yama still remembers that day when the Ten Palaces of Yama and the Son of Heaven of Yama fought against Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Although there was no big fight, it was a battle between the souls. The battle between the souls was no less than a real battle, and even more dangerous. They were ten
One person joined forces and failed to suppress Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. After a contest, the two sides ended in a tie. King Yama could feel how powerful Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's magical power was, and he was afraid that
It is no less inferior to Tathagata Buddha.
Since then, they have acquiesced in Ksitigarbha opening a dojo in the Yin Mountains to transform the souls of the dead and take a piece of the underworld's pie.
All of this is naturally based on strength.
If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva comes to beat me, will my nine brothers come to my aid?
King Yama thought vaguely.
If they knew the whole story, they would be happy to see themselves embarrassed, so they wouldn't help.
King Yama is very aware of the virtues of his nine brothers. They like to see him make a fool of himself without harming his life and interests. This hell is usually too deserted, and they would like to have more excitement, such as: King Ksitigarbha
Beating up King Yama? This is very disgusting.
Although he won't be seriously injured, he will definitely lose his face.
How could King Yama, who had been so strong all his life, accept this? He could only try to make up for it.
"It turns out that he is the disciple of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha. Please don't blame me for neglecting him." King Yama immediately said with a smile on his face, completely losing his previous majestic appearance. Now he wants to be as friendly as possible.
"Who is this eminent monk?" Looking at Tang Sen standing with Dao Ming, King Yama learned his lesson and asked for his identity first to avoid losing face again.
"The poor monk Tang Sanzang was entrusted by His Majesty the King of Tang to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures." Tang Sen was also prepared to have some fun and tease the King of Hell. The Sichuan Opera Face Changing is also a classic. He said he wanted to watch it again.
.
After listening to Tang Sen's words, King Yama immediately looked down upon him. King Tang? He is just a mortal. It seems that this monk is just an ordinary mortal. How can there be so many ruthless people? King Yama's attitude towards Tang Sen immediately
He became cold and cold. Although he didn't scold him for Dao Ming's sake, he didn't give him a good look either.
That's it now!
Tang Sen saw the right opportunity and quickly continued.
