Qiao Niang took a deep breath and said slowly: "I am Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
"Well... uh," Lin San's eyes widened and she looked at Qiao Niang in horror: "You... you... what did you say... who are you..."
"I am Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva," Qiao Niang repeated.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva..." Lin San felt that his brain was about to go into shock. He stared blankly in front of him, unable to say a complete sentence. There was actually Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld. He was on earth before. When he was a child, Lin San heard many legends about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. At that time, Lin San only regarded it as a myth and did not take it seriously. Even if Lin San later embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, he did not believe that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva really existed in the world... But Unexpectedly, today in the underworld, I actually met the legendary Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and she was also a woman... Even though Lin San had seen many strong winds and waves, he couldn't help but be shocked on the spot.
"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Niang looked at Lin San in surprise: "Is my name scary?"
Lin San's face twitched: "Um...you're not kidding me..."
"Do you think I'm joking?" Qiao Niang's face was a little unhappy. How come these days, no one believes the truth when she tells the truth? Qiao Niang sighed: "I am really Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and it's true. Yes, if you don’t believe it, you can ask the King of Hell, Lin Wang, he is very familiar with me.”
Lin San walked up and down, looking at Qiao Niang carefully, her eyes were so insightful, as if she wanted to see through Qiao Niang's thoughts.
Qiao Niang was a little embarrassed by Lin San's burning eyes: "You...what are you looking at,"
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... is actually a woman," Lin San expressed his doubts.
"What's wrong with women?" Qiao Niang curled her lips: "You discriminate against women."
"No, no, no...I'm not discriminating, I just didn't expect...Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a woman..." Lin San waved his hands repeatedly. After learning that the beautiful girl in front of him was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Lin San suddenly became polite. Many: "Well, I heard that you swore an oath that you would not become a Buddha until hell was empty. Is that true?"
Qiao Niang looked at Lin San in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Have you really made such an oath?" Lin San's expression suddenly turned to admiration, and he cupped his hands to Qiao Niang: "Bodhisattva, your ideals make me admire you very much."
"Haha..." Qiao Niang smiled: "Okay, you don't have to compliment me. Hell is empty, which means no one will do evil anymore. My dream since I was a child is to purify the world and make everyone in the world selfless and great. of,"
The ideal is good, but unfortunately... it is unrealistic, Lin San muttered secretly in his heart.
"I have been in hell for a long time, and I have saved many evil ghosts... Unfortunately, after such a New Year, the number of tortured ghosts in hell has not decreased at all, and seems to have increased... I am really very happy It failed..." Qiao Niang said in despair.
"Bodhisattva, you... you said you were injured, how did you get hurt?" Lin San couldn't help but ask. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a person with great supernatural powers. Even Lin Wang, the king of hell, is definitely not his opponent. It can be said that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva He is the real ruler of the underworld, but Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva usually lives in seclusion and never interferes with the government affairs of the underworld, so the King of Hell is the real ruler.
Mentioning the injury, Qiao Niang suddenly showed a hint of helplessness on her face: "It's my own fault... I saw that the number of tortured ghosts in hell has not decreased, but has increased, which makes me feel particularly irritable and depressed. As you know, When practicing, it is very easy to get internal injuries if your mood is unstable. When I was practicing, my mind was restless, which caused the magic power to flow around in my body, causing me to suffer serious internal injuries. Now only colorful Buddhist beads can heal my injuries. ,"
Lin San frowned: "Bodhisattva, since you are a Bodhisattva, you should be closely connected with the Buddhist world. Why don't you go to the Buddhist world in person to ask for colorful beads?"
Qiao Niang shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to go to the Buddhist world, but that I simply can't go..."
"I can't go, why?" Lin San was stunned.
"From the day I took over the underworld, I severed my connection with the Buddhist world, and the door to the Buddhist world will never be opened for me again," Qiao Niang said slowly.
"Why do you want to cut off contact with the Buddhist world?" Lin San asked doubtfully.
"In order to strengthen my will, only by cutting off my escape route can I truly settle down in the underworld and convert those sinful ghosts without any distractions," Qiao Niang explained.
Lin San's mouth twitched several times, this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is really... pedantic.
"I'm very pedantic, aren't I," Qiao Niang glanced at Lin San.
Lin San was startled: "No... Bodhisattva is not pedantic at all..." Lin San muttered secretly, whether Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw through his thoughts or just said it casually.
"Now I feel very pedantic," Qiao Niang said suddenly.
"Ah," Lin San was stunned: "Bodhisattva, you..."
"Ever since I was injured, I have always reflected on myself, looking back at the road I have walked and the things I have done... Slowly, my mentality has changed. I feel that I am really pedantic. Even if I have to sit back There is no need to cut off contact with the Buddhist world in the underworld. As a result, I am injured and cannot be cured... If my injury cannot be cured, my magic power will slowly disappear, and I will eventually disappear slowly... I am not afraid of death. But I didn't realize my ideal, and I feel very unwilling..." Qiao Niang said with a wry smile.
Lin San opened her mouth, intending to say a few words of comfort, but she didn't know how to comfort her. If it were Lin San, he would never sever ties with the Buddhist world, let alone come to the underworld to convert evil ghosts... Lin San and Qiao Niang Our outlook on life and values are fundamentally different, so our opinions on some topics will be different.
After a moment of silence, Lin San said: "Bodhisattva, I'm still wondering why you chose me to help you."
Qiao Niang glanced at Lin San: "I can do divination. Since I was injured, I have done divination once. The divination said that there is a noble person from the human world who can help me. I searched the whole underworld and couldn't find the divination. Like the person described above, I gradually began to doubt my divination ability... Until a few days ago, I heard that the King of Hell and a living person had sworn brotherhood. After I investigated your whereabouts, I set up a high platform on the road you must pass to inspect you... When I saw you for the first time, I already knew that you were the one I was looking for. Noble, your face is indescribably noble, and your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary, but I can also see that you have a sinister look on your face, and there must be a lot of blood on your hands..."
"Divination," Lin San frowned: "There really is the ability to predict the future in this world."
