Chapter 244 The Red-haired Ghost King, the Four Great Ghost Generals
The sky in the underworld presents a gray scene. Everything is black and white, and the colors of the world cannot be felt at all.
Without the sunshine, everything in the Netherworld would have no temperature, and would be as cold as frost.
On this day, a bhikshuni wearing a crown and cassock was sitting on an unknown strange beast and was traveling in the underworld.
If that's all, it's nothing. Although the Netherworld is barren, there are always some specialties that cannot be found in the outside world.
Over countless years, many monks have experienced going to the Netherworld.
However, this time, the Buddhist-dressed practitioner looked particularly different. He did not restrain his aura in the underworld.
Instead, the Buddha's light shines all over the body. The Buddha's light is like the sun, bringing a touch of beautiful color to this dim world.
As the beasts under the seat moved forward slowly, delicate flowers bloomed wherever the Buddha's light passed.
The lonely ghosts illuminated by the Buddha's light continuously emit black mist around them. When the black mist dissipates, the evil ghosts no longer look ferocious.
All of them had peaceful faces and clear eyes. They saluted Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva one after another, and then jumped into the Buddha's light behind Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's head.
After these evil ghosts entered the Buddha's light, they each had a solemn appearance and recited scriptures. Their whole bodies were enveloped by the Buddha's light, and they turned into devout Buddhist soldiers.
With the blessing of a group of Buddhist soldiers, the speed of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's salvation is also increasing. Even some old evil ghosts cannot escape.
As Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva moves forward, more and more evil ghosts are saved, and the area that the Buddha's light can cover becomes wider and wider.
Of course, the noise it caused was getting louder and louder, and many people living in the netherworld had already noticed it.
This Netherworld is not without its masters. There are many ghost cultivators outside the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Heaven.
There are many of these ghost cultivators, and their cultivation levels vary. The low ones are just wandering souls, while the high ones can rival a group of immortals and gods.
Ghost cultivators also have their own titles according to their level of cultivation. Ghost cultivators in the Taiyi realm are called ghost kings, while ghost cultivators in the Daluo realm are revered as ghost emperors.
As for those under Taiyi, they were either ghost generals or ghost soldiers. They were attached to the ghost king and ghost emperor, forming a kingdom of dead souls.
The ghost kings in the nether world had already discovered the clues about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's unabashed behavior, but all the ghost kings ignored the matter and ignored it.
No one is willing to step forward and deal with this Buddhist master. This is because Buddhism can restrain the ghost method to a certain extent.
However, in the direction that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is heading, there is a city belonging to a ghost king. This ghost king has a black complexion and red hair, and is known as the red-haired ghost king.
The red-haired ghost king received reports from the ghosts under his command, and knew that there was the power of Buddhism, so he came towards his country.
When the red-haired ghost king heard the report, he frowned, "This Buddhist power is coming all the way to me. Don't let him get close to the city, otherwise all the fierce ghosts and evil spirits in the city will be saved by him."
But he didn't want to face the Buddhists himself.
He is located in the underworld of Hezhou, Xiniu, so how can he not know the situation of Buddhism?
Since the establishment of Buddhism, many ghost cultivators have discovered that Buddhist techniques seem to be specifically designed to restrain them.
When the two fight against each other, they can't even bring out their seventh-level strength. But people from the Buddhist sect can bring out their twelfth-level strength.
Therefore, the evil spirits in hell are very repulsive to Buddhists, and they despise Buddhist disciples as bald donkeys.
Looking at the direction Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was traveling, the red-haired ghost king knew that he might not be able to escape this city.
The red-haired ghost king secretly resented: "Why is this Buddhist bald donkey specifically against me?"
He immediately ordered the ghost soldiers on the side: "Go and invite the hungry ghosts, the beheaded ghosts, the hanged ghosts, and the ghost mothers to discuss matters!"
These four evil ghosts are the most powerful ghost generals under the red-haired ghost king. These four ghosts have reached the ultimate golden immortal level and may break through to the Taiyi Sanxian realm at any time.
Once a breakthrough was made, another ghost king rose up. In addition to their profound cultivation, they each also had special skills. Therefore, they stood out among the capable ghosts and were entrusted with important tasks by the red-haired ghost king.
Now, Buddhist disciples are attacking, and the red-haired ghost king has no choice but to summon a few people to discuss matters.
Not long after, a headless evil ghost arrived first. It was seen wearing armor, with a sharp blade at its waist, and a powerful aura, with a faint ghostly aura surrounding it.
This evil ghost is not a good one at first glance, but there is nothing on its neck. Although the ghost body is walking, it has no head.
I saw this evil ghost bowing to the red-haired ghost king, but a voice came out: "I have met the king!"
Looking for the sound, it turned out that the evil ghost was not without a head, but its head was being held in his hand.
The sound just now came from this head. This ghost is the decapitated ghost, one of the four ghost generals under the command of the red-haired ghost king.
The beheaded ghost saw that the other ghost generals had not arrived yet, so he asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know why the generals are here."
The red-haired ghost king did not answer in a hurry. He said to the decapitated ghost: "Decapitated ghost, please sit down first and wait for the other three ghosts to arrive."
Seeing that the king didn't say anything, the beheaded ghost didn't ask any questions. He found a stone chair and sat on it. Then he put his head on his knees and waited for the three ghosts to come.
He has been friends with the three ghosts for thousands of years, and usually the ghost king would not summon them together. Once the four generals gather together, it will definitely be no small matter.
Soon after, the hungry ghosts and the hanged ghosts came again.
The Starving Ghost is a terrifying image with a green face and fangs. Its bloody mouth is very oozing. Its abdomen is swollen, as if it were ten months pregnant.
While walking, he would shake his hands and keep stuffing food into his mouth. He kept chewing big mouths, and his stomach seemed to never be full.
The hanged ghost on the side looked thin and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. His face was ashen, and his eyes were bulging, as if they were about to bulge out.
A foot-long tongue stuck out of his mouth, and it hung down to his chest. There was also a deep mark on his neck.
As soon as the two of them entered the hall, they saw the beheaded ghost sitting at the side. Without any time to exchange greetings, the two of them saluted the red-haired ghost king and each found a seat.
After the three ghosts arrived, their expressions were different. The beheaded ghost was expressionless, the starving ghost was indifferent, and the hanged ghost was thoughtful.
Only the last person had not yet arrived, and that was the evil ghost known as the Ghost Mother. After a long time, a woman with a beautiful face and graceful figure walked in.
This woman wears a treasure hairpin on her head, a rosy hat on her body, and cloud shoes on her feet. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains with daisy, her skin is like peach blossoms and she smiles, her hair is like floating clouds, and her eyes are like stars.
Duan was born to be a man of great beauty, like a fairy from the Moon Palace.
The woman walked slowly into the hall, forming a sharp contrast with the monsters and ghosts. She slightly saluted the red-haired ghost king.
The red-haired ghost king said with a smile on his face: "Ghost mother, please sit down and wait for you!"
This woman in red is actually the ghost mother among the four ghost generals.
