Chapter 253 The sea of ??blood spreads over the mountains
Just when the Yinshan Buddhist Kingdom was peaceful and peaceful, the sea of blood on the side suddenly became violent, and the strong wind rolled up huge waves.
The waves were surging, one wave higher than the other. The endless waves beat on the foot of the mountain, making a loud noise.
At this time, in the Yinshan Buddhist Kingdom, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Pot-bellied Arhat both discovered something strange. The calm sea of blood suddenly made waves.
The pot-bellied Arhat looked startled and looked serious. He hurriedly said to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "Bodhisattva, trouble is coming!"
"This sea of blood has stirred up storms for no reason, which is probably not a good omen. I am afraid that if we establish a Buddhist kingdom on this Yin Mountain to save the Asuras, we will arouse the anger of the Asura clan."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva listened to the words of the pot-bellied Arhat, but looked at the sea of blood below. Establishing a Buddhist kingdom at the junction of Yinshan Mountain and the sea of blood was her strategy from the beginning.
Although this place is located between the Yin Mountain and the Sea of Blood, evil ghosts can be liberated from the inside, and asuras can be liberated from the outside.
Evil ghosts and asuras are the largest groups in the netherworld. As long as the Buddhist soldiers and believers can be saved from these two aspects, the Buddhist kingdom will have no worries!
In later generations of Buddhism, there are eight groups of Dharma protectors: devas, naga, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kinnaras, and mahoragas.
Among them, the Celestial Beings and the Dragon Clan are headed, which are called the Eight Tribes of Heavenly Dragons. However, the Celestial Beings and the Dragon Clan are ultimately very few in number.
Among the eight tribes, there are many Asuras who are transformed into yakshas by evil spirits. They are also good at fighting and are the main force among the eight tribes.
The Buddhist kingdom established by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the main source of these two. Although there is no explanation of the Eight Deities and Dragons at this time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can still see the potential of evil ghosts and asuras.
Because of this, she was willing to take risks and establish a Buddhist kingdom at the junction of the Yin Mountains and the Blood Sea.
As for the counterattack of the Yinshan and Blood Sea forces, she was also expecting it. However, when the Blood Sea counterattacked, she still felt endless pressure.
Not to mention the Lord of the Netherworld Blood Sea, Ancestor Styx, the four great demon kings under Ancestor Styx, those of Yi Yu's generation.
Even though Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is already a Daluo Jinxian, he is not sure that he can defeat these people. If one of them comes, he can barely resist, but if two of them come, he will have no choice but to run away.
Fortunately, she is not without a background. She has the big tree of Buddhism as her back, and she also has Sakyamuni Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of Lighting Lamps, and the Great Sun Tathagata as her support.
As long as she survives this crisis, she can truly establish a foundation in the Netherworld.
Seeing the sea of blood spreading, the waves of blood were soaring to the sky, and it had submerged halfway up the mountain. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva knew that if he did not respond, the newly established Buddhist kingdom would be destroyed.
Wherever the sea of blood passes, not a blade of grass grows, and there is no vitality. Any vitality will be corroded by the sea of blood.
Once the sea of blood submerges this Buddhist kingdom, the foundation of the Buddhist kingdom will be completely destroyed, and its destruction is imminent.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva first recited the Buddha's name: "Namo Sakyamuni Buddha! Namo the ancient Buddha of burning lamps! Namo Great Sun Tathagata! My Buddha is compassionate!"
Immediately, she unfolded the cassock on her body, and the cassock rose up with the wind and flew high into the sky. In the sky, infinite Buddha light emitted. Under the gaze of a group of Buddhist soldiers and believers, the cassock continued to spread.
After a while, it filled the entire sky. The entire Buddhist kingdom was shrouded in cassocks.
Finally, the cassock fell from the sky and enveloped the entire Buddhist Kingdom. Slowly, the color of the cassock became lighter and lighter, and finally completely blended into the mountain peak where the Buddhist Kingdom is located.
But it was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who used his cassocks that he had refined over countless years to build a Buddhist formation outside the Buddhist kingdom.
As the cassock fell to the ground, in the Buddhist kingdom, the big-bellied Arhat led a group of Buddhist soldiers and believers to sit cross-legged.
Recite the scriptures devoutly!
"At that time, Lady Maya, the mother of the Buddha, clasped her hands respectfully and asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: Holy One, the sentient beings in Jambudvipa have created different karma and received retribution. What is the matter? Ksitigarbha replied: Thousands of worlds, even the country. Or
There may be hells, or there may be no hells. There may be women, or there may not be women. There may be Buddha Dharma, or there may be no Buddha Dharma. Even the Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas are like this too. Not only are the retributions of sins in hells one-level."
…
Everyone recited sutras with devotion, inspiring infinite vows and infinite magic power to bless the Buddha array.
For a time, the entire Yinshan Buddhist Kingdom was ablaze with Buddha's light, shining brightly in the immeasurable netherworld, illuminating thousands of people.
At this time, the sea of blood has spread over, and the blood wave is overwhelming and unstoppable. It is rushing towards the Buddhist Kingdom.
"Rumble..."
A loud sound was heard, spreading throughout the Netherworld. However, it was hit by a huge wave, and hit an invisible light curtain outside the Buddhist Kingdom.
The blood wave hit the light curtain, smashing into pieces and causing blood to fly. One wave broke, and another wave rose again, seemingly endless.
The light curtain of the formation flickered, causing ripples to appear. However, with the blessing of a group of Buddhist soldiers and believers, the formation seemed to be crumbling, but it remained standing.
However, the sea of blood rolled with endless waves, each wave stronger than the last. It felt like it was overwhelming, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
The Yinshan Buddhist Kingdom is like a sailboat in the sea, rising and falling in the waves. You don't know when it will be drowned by the huge waves.
Along with the huge waves came the Asura warriors on top of the huge waves. They stepped on the bloody waves, rode on the waves, and kept gathering on the waves.
When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw this, he knew that he could not continue like this. The formation may be maintained for a while, but it cannot be maintained for a lifetime.
This blood wave is rolling with no end. Each huge wave will shake the formation several times.
After all, her formation was a temporary arrangement. It was not comparable to this blood wave, but it carried the infinite power of the Netherworld Blood Sea.
To overcome this calamity, we must attack at the source, otherwise the bloody wave may not stop.
Thinking of this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had no choice but to take a few steps forward, stand beside the formation, face the sea of blood, and asked: "I don't know which fellow Taoist is here, can you show up and see me?"
Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's voice was not loud, it was heard far away through the formation and echoed in the sea of blood.
After a long time, the sea of blood suddenly split into two from the middle. A monk wearing a crown, a necklace, and a vajra in his hand, sitting on a red lotus, slowly rose from the sea.
Countless warriors of the Asura clan gathered behind him. The red lotus beneath him was in the waves of the sea of blood, neither rising nor falling, neither floating nor sinking.
No matter how fierce the waves of the Blood Sea are, as long as they are within ten thousand miles of the lotus platform, the waves will stop.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw a monk rising from the sea, and she could feel that the monk's cultivation was no longer inferior to hers.
She said loudly: "I don't know which fellow Taoist is here. Poor monk Ksitigarbha, you are polite!"
The man sitting on the lotus platform had a serious look on his face and said, "I am Emperor Shitian, the disciple of the leader. The Bodhisattva is not enjoying the cool air in the west, so why do you come to me in the Netherworld and Blood Sea?"
The voice of Emperor Shakti was neither humble nor arrogant, neither urgent nor slow. Even if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great wish to become a Maharaja, and had Buddhism as his support, he would not be afraid.
In this sea of blood, they Asuras are not afraid of anyone. Even saints will not easily come to this sea of blood.
