Chapter 217: Eliminating the Eight Ghosts (Part 8)

Last time, we talked about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva examining the baby spirit in his arms. So what will be the fate of this child? Let’s read on.

After a while, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva held the baby in one hand and touched his chin with the other hand, muttering: "Hiss, it's really troublesome. This child can only be six years old in the human world!" He looked down at the black and white Rakshasa kneeling on the ground and asked: "Do you two treat this child as your own child?"

Black Rakshasa nodded repeatedly and said, "To Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, my brother and I..."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense! I just want to ask you, if I ask you two to go to hell to raise this child, are you willing?"

Black Rakshasa nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes! As long as we can raise this child together, we are willing even in hell!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva walked around the black and white Rakshasas, thinking as he walked, and then said: "How about this, if you are willing to serve me and tell me everything you know, I can exempt you from punishment and let you live in hell and raise this child."

The black and white Rakshasas looked at each other, then kowtowed and said, "We are willing to obey the Bodhisattva's orders from now on!"

Dizang nodded and said, "Okay! I'll put a magic seal on you like I did to those two bastards! From now on, you will be the ghost messengers of my underworld!" After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed. A swastika magic seal appeared on the back of the necks of the black and white Rakshasas. The two Rakshasas had painful expressions, as if they were branded by a branding iron.

After a while, the swastika seal on Ersha's neck glowed with golden light. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva put down his hand and said, "This is the ghost seal. From now on, I will know everything you do. If you do anything out of line, I can turn you into ashes with a wave of my hand! All right, go! First find a place to settle down in the netherworld."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva waved his hand, and the soul-binding chains on the two Rakshasa disappeared. He then handed the child to the black Rakshasa, and waved his hand again, and the black and white Rakshasa disappeared along with the baby.

Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if this child got into trouble in the future, it would be all his own karma. Now that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has taken over, it can be considered a great help.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to see through his thoughts. He walked to Li Yi's side, raised his hand to his shoulder and said, "Xiuyuan, I have helped you so much, shouldn't you express your gratitude?"

Li Yi was surprised and asked, "A sign? What do you mean?"

"What are you talking about? Ah, you gave Brother Guangsheng and Brother Guanzizai a copy of the Secret Scripture, but how come it's gone from me? You're such a mean kid! If you don't have anything to show for it, I'll send the kid back!"

Li Yi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, Bodhisattva, please don't joke with me. I definitely want to express my gratitude! I just don't know if my gratitude will be accepted by you."

"Oh? If you have it, tell me now."

"It's really too hard for you to manage hell alone now. Why don't you find more people to help you?"

"Nonsense, of course I looked for them. All the Shura and Rakshasa people who were willing to surrender became ghost messengers and are helping me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to handle it all!"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant to say find someone to help you manage hell! For example, set up the Ten Yama Kings, and let them help you manage the dead souls. This way you will have time to deal with the Shura and Rakshasa rebels."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stroked his chin and said, "The Ten Kings of Hell? Please continue and give more details!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "There are ten palaces in the netherworld, each of which is responsible for a crime and a layer of hell. The Yama Lords of the Ten Palaces will interrogate and convict the dead souls. If they are guilty, they will be sent to the corresponding hell to be punished. After serving their sentences, they will go to the next palace for trial.

After going through these ten palaces, hell can be made more orderly and the dead souls can recognize the sins they committed in their lifetime. After that, the Bodhisattva can send people to persuade them to transcend according to their situation. "

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not comment, Li Yi stretched out his hand and released his talent, projecting the scene of hell in the Korean movie "Along with the Gods" in his mind. I have to say here that this movie is quite good. First, it was well shot, but second, it was just average.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at the image projected by Li Yi thoughtfully. He muttered, "Killing, adultery, stealing, lying, and drinking. The Ten Courts of Hell, the Hell of Knife Mountain, the Hell of Boiling Fire, the Hell of Ice, the Hell of Sword Trees, and the Hell of Tongue Pulling. Well, it's interesting."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva waved his hand to dispel his talent, looked at Li Yi with a playful look and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so playful. How could you come up with so many ways to torture people? I thought I was cruel enough, but I didn't expect you to have more tricks!

Xiuyuan, I like you more and more! Next time I see Senior Brother Guangsheng, I will definitely ask him for the person. If he doesn’t let me go, I will fight with him! I haven’t practiced with Senior Brother for a long time. I don’t know if he has slacked off. You know, I am not idle in hell! "

Li Yi looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with a dark face. The latter patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiuyuan, you have given me a lot of inspiration. I will go back and transform hell! By the way, are you interested in becoming one of the Ten Kings of Hell?"

Li Yi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Buddha, please don't joke. The Ten Hells of Hell must employ upright people, and the judgments must be fair, just, and open! We must not allow officials to protect each other and bend the law for personal gain like here!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva raised his fists and said with a smile: "Don't worry, under the management of my fists, hell is a place where all beings are equal! It's not as chaotic as your world. I went to hell because I couldn't stand so many human relationships and couldn't stay here any longer."

Li Yi gave an awkward but polite smile: "Buddha, I want to ask you something. Undertaker, how is Feng Mengyao?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked in confusion, "Oh, are you asking about the Black-toothed Rakshasa? She must be doomed to eternal damnation, and is now in the deepest part of hell, being punished by Yin Fire and Dark Water."

Li Yi said in embarrassment: "Buddha, I wonder if you can..."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva waved his hand and said, "You want me to let her go? Impossible. What she did was not only a grave sin, but also against the will of heaven! Moreover, when she was reincarnated, I also told her the consequences of doing so. This was her own choice."

Li Yi shook his head helplessly. He suddenly asked, "Buddha, do you know where Xia Houying is? How is she?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked puzzled and said, "Xiahou Ying? I've never heard of him. Let me calculate it for you." After he made a Dharma seal with his hands, the shadow of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared behind him. The Six Paths of Reincarnation was exactly Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wearing a Dharma crown and holding a Zen stick while meditating on a lotus platform.

The key is the six-path reincarnation disk behind it. A wheel is divided into six petals, each petal is divided into three layers, the first layer is divided into three grids, each grid contains the most representative patterns of the six paths; the second layer is divided into two grids, which also contain the six paths of creatures, but one level higher than the first layer; the innermost layer is the Sanskrit mantra of the names of the six paths.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva calculated for a while, looked at Li Yi with a puzzled look and said: "Xia Houying did not enter the netherworld, but she is indeed dead. There are many reasons that may lead to this situation. I am not sure at the moment. I will help you find it when I return to hell."

Li Yi bowed and said, "I will not trouble you, Bodhisattva. You have too many things to do. I thank you very much."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and smiled, "How about this, if you are willing to come to hell to help me, I can use the reincarnation method to reunite you, how about that?"

Li Yi was surprised and asked, "Reunion? Bodhisattva, do you mean reunion in hell?"

"What else? Do you want me to go against the will of heaven and let her be reborn?"

Li Yi said awkwardly: "Uh, disciple doesn't think so. Heaven has other guidance on this matter. Let's talk about it later. I just ask the Bodhisattva to help find her and see where she is now."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Since we have the guidance of Heaven, it will be easy. Well, now that we have finished the business here, there are still many things to do in hell. I will go back first. I will wait for you in hell!" After saying that, he waved his hand and disappeared in golden light.

Li Yi curled his lips and said, "Are you cursing me to death? Alas, although I know that's not what you mean, it doesn't sound like a good thing to me."

Yi Ling came back after seeing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva left, and immediately activated his taunting skill and said, "Is this the Four Great Bodhisattvas of your Buddhism? Humph, he is clearly a stinking hooligan!"

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "You know that the world is fickle and people are evil. Compared with humans, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would rather deal with evil spirits. And when dealing with those evil spirits, he can do whatever he wants without having to talk about morality. Sometimes I really envy the Bodhisattva's straightforwardness."

Yi Ling said unhappily, "Who says you have to live in hell to be authentic? We in the Earth Sect can also do whatever we want and be authentic! Look at me, am I not living authentically?"

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Yiling, we in the Dao Sect do follow our hearts, but when faced with many difficulties, our way of dealing with them is not to follow our hearts, but to avoid or bypass them.

For example, Senior Brother Liu Hong and I, clearly together we eradicated the Shura Palace, which was a great feat, but not only did we not get any rewards, he also had to appease the Jiangdong clans, and I had to raise money to repair the Mausoleum of King Yu.

If I want to do this from my heart, I just want to rush into the palace and kill Xiao Yongming directly, but can I do that? You can just walk away, but can Senior Brother Liu and I? So unless you are a person from the outside world, it is too difficult to do what you want. "

Yi Ling chuckled and said, "Then you can become a monk too! Become an outsider, and we will stay on Mount Qiyun and never come down! Wouldn't it be nice to be a couple of immortals?"

Li Yi took Yi Ling's hand and said, "That's great. Let's go! Let's do what a couple of gods should do!" As the saying goes:

Summer thunderstorms bring down the heat and dryness, the morning sun shines brightly. I don't know when the jumping beads will disappear, only the creaking of the night watch will tell the story.

Mandarin ducks play in pairs in the water, swallows call in pairs on the branches. Jade lover Zhou Gong is drinking heavily, and the fairy smiles as she rolls up the curtain and puts on her clothes.

After washing up, Yi Ling looked at Li Yi who was still lying in bed with satisfaction. Suddenly, she showed a wicked smile and pinched the beam of the small tent, causing Li Yi to jump up with a cry of pain. Li Yi covered his lower body with anger and said, "What are you doing? You are murdering your husband!"

"Humph, I'm not your wife! Get up and do business!"

Li Yi exhaled a breath of foul air and said angrily: "Well, it is indeed not true! You are Zhou Paopi! The evil exploiter! All you want is to make us, the working people, work like slaves for you and risk our lives for you!"

Yi Ling ignored Li Yi's "crazy talk", threw his clothes to him and said seriously: "Stop talking nonsense! These mother and child ghosts are the most troublesome. They have killed many people. If you don't deal with them, you can just wait to go to hell and become the King of Hell!"

"It's not appropriate to add the word after the character '王'! Do you understand? Besides, you can't let the horse run without giving it grass to eat! You have to combine work with rest, right?"

Yi Ling smiled and said, "We already rested last night, now it's time to work, don't just think about combining!"

Li Yi was shocked by Yi Ling's sudden dirty joke. He felt like he had discovered a new world. He wanted to continue exploring, but Yi Ling did not give him this opportunity.

Soon the two of them arrived at the valley where the mother-child ghost was. Yi Ling found the sect member to inquire about the situation. The latter replied: "If Senior Sister doesn't come again, we will report to the Taoist leader. I don't know what this mother-child ghost has possessed and turned into a half-human, half-snake monster. We can no longer restrain her."

Li Yi patted the little Taoist priest on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, leave the rest to me."

The young Taoist priest looked at Li Yi with a confused look on his face and asked, "Senior Sister, who is this..."

"He is a registered disciple of the Taoist master, a minor character, so you don't need to worry about him. You have worked hard these days, and you can go back and report now."

"Senior Sister, do you really not need us to stay and help?"

Li Yi said unhappily: "Let's go! Don't disturb me and your sister from doing our work! After we deal with the mother and child ghosts, we still have to..."

Yiling covered Li Yi's mouth with one hand and said to the young Taoist priest, "There is something I really need your help with. Please go and seal the mountain. If a fight breaks out, it will be no joke." The young Taoist priest bowed to Yiling and left.
