White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World

"Is it just punishment..."

Ksitigarbha's eyes were lowered. If so, what's the point of the existence of this underworld? Isn’t the world still full of bad karma?

When the two of them reached the shore of the Bitter Sea, the biting cold hit their faces, and the white lotuses shone like bright lights on the dark sea.

Ksitigarbha suddenly felt something, thinking that this sea of ​​suffering also has a limit, and sentient beings should not be reincarnated.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally expressed his wish.

"Teacher, if the disciples can teach them to abandon evil and do good, can it help them change their nature and get rid of their bad karma?"

He thought the teacher would give him an answer, but the man in front of him shook his head.

"I have no idea."

Chang Yi stopped and looked at Jizo with complex eyes.

Although this was his only path, Chang Yi knew that the original Ksitigarbha had been sinking in hell for eternity. Even though his Dharma was comparable to that of the past, he had never been called a Buddha. In the end, he only had the name of compassion.

Chang Yi couldn't help but feel worthless for him. Why did he give up his own status in order to transform these evil spirits?

Fortunately, he intervened in this life, so he had to act like a Buddha for his cheap apprentice.

"The ants still live in vain, but I think the human race also has a desire to improve. You still need to understand the taste of it yourself."

Hearing this, Ksitigarbha's eyes flashed brightly. Although he didn't get an answer, the teacher agreed that he should transform the evil spirit!

Seeing Ksitigarbha's excited look, Chang Yi smiled and shook his head. It seemed that Ksitigarbha's destiny was in the Netherworld. Unless he used Hunyuan to forcefully peel it off, this Abi Hell Ksitigarbha would be stunned.

Knowing that he had understood the destiny, Chang Yi stopped wandering around and arrived at the gate of hell with light steps.

Seeing the ferocious towering gate, Ksitigarbha was amazed again and again.

"Teacher, is this the hell you created!"

"I don't have much time to spare, it just happens to be the right time."

As he spoke, Chang Yi waved his sleeves and pushed the heavy iron door open.

As soon as the iron door opened, boundless wails could be heard from inside. The wails were shrill and tragic, as if they were pervasive.

Ksitigarbha couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, and even the orbs on his neck began to float to help him block out these cries.

Chang Yi in front of us was unaware of it. This is how hell should be. If we treat each other like guests, what kind of punishment would it be?

Seeing the teacher's calm expression, Ksitigarbha also quietly pressed down the orb. How could he transform the evil spirit in the future if he couldn't bear the sound?

After entering the gate of hell, Chang Yi saw the ghosts on the handles on both sides. What was interesting was that they all wore silencer bells around their necks. It was difficult to resist the wails.

"Holy Master!"

They were all members of the Wu tribe and of course they knew Chang Yi. After bowing and kowtowing, they did not dare to delay the master's work. They all stepped out of the way and asked Chang Yi to "visit" on his own.

From the tongue-pulling hell on the first level to the stone-grinding hell on the seventeenth level, the two people walked through each level and saw countless evil spirits being tortured in it.

Although Ksitigarbha has great wishes, he is not a brainless Holy Mother. He knows that these evil ghosts deserve their punishment, and he only hopes that they can remember the pain they have suffered today and be good people in the next life.

At the end of the Stone Mill Hell, a bloody door with piles of corpses appeared in the huge mouth of the Rakshasa god. Standing outside, you can feel the boundless evil karma inside, which seems to be more than the previous seventeen levels combined. !

"Teacher, this is..."

"This is the last level of hell, called Abi."

The door of bones slowly opened, and the dark brown earth embedded with karma fire revealed its true appearance.

"I know I was wrong!

"

"Help me! Help me..."

Tens of thousands of ferocious souls squirmed like pigs and dogs in the fire of karma. They were suffering all the time, but they could not escape and could only sink forever.

Those wailing souls were all people who had just entered this place to be tortured, and those who had stayed for tens of thousands of years had already lost their minds like maggots.

Seeing the karma on these people, Ksitigarbha was shocked. What he saw along the way was nothing like what he expected!

Because even ghosts cannot bear the bad karma here, Abi Hell operates independently according to the rules left by Chang Yi.

"Teacher, don't you need to be guarded here?"

"There is no need for this. The souls here have no chance of reincarnation. They will turn into smoke and dust after countless calamities."

After hearing these words, Ksitigarbha suddenly felt that the inspiration in his heart began to shake, and even the Taoist robes on his body floated. Recalling his great aspirations, he finally understood his fate.

The young man put his hands together and bowed respectfully.

"Disciple wants to give it a try."

Of course Chang Yi would not stop him, but he was curious about what Ksitigarbha would do.

He waved his hand to call out the Water Moon Mirror, and inside it appeared the place where Asura's remnants were now.

"The Netherworld is vast, even compared to the ancient world. In the early years, the ancestors of Blood River created Asuras. Although they are fierce and ruthless, they are not afraid of the bad karma of all living beings. Now that you are in hell, these people are the ones who should move their muscles and bones. ”

Ksitigarbha has heard about this for a long time, and it would be difficult for him to undergo transformation alone. It would be much smoother if these Netherworld natives help him.

"But according to the teacher's orders!"

Chang Yi waved her hand.

"Asuras are just afraid to be born due to my pressure. Each of them has malicious intentions. They can only be used by you if they are taught properly. Now, as a teacher, I will not make it difficult for you, so I will help you recruit them first. stop."

As Chang Yi waved his hand, a crack suddenly appeared in the void, and those Asuras fell into the Abi Hell like dumplings.

After careful counting, I found that the number of Asuras left behind was only a few thousand, and they must have been devoured by ferocious beasts hidden in the Netherworld.

As soon as the Shuras saw the god who had crossed the sea of ​​blood, they suddenly became frightened and thought they were looking for them to settle old scores.

The leading female Shura struggled to get up from the ground regardless of the pain, took a trembling step forward and knelt down.

"The Immortal is merciful. In the past few years, I have led my clansmen everywhere and killed many people, but I have never done anything evil again. I beg you to forgive me..."

"Don't panic. If I want to get rid of you, why do I need to do it today?"

Chang Yi waved his hand and a bright moon appeared, and then turned into stars and scattered among the Shura souls.

As soon as this starlight entered the body, it was like nectar, repairing all the injuries they had suffered over the years, and even the scars on the body surface were intact!

The Shuramen were shocked and doubtful, but seeing this situation, they should have saved their lives.

"Now that hell is here, my disciple Ksitigarbha will transform the evil souls here and give them a chance to reincarnate. However, the hell ghosts cannot withstand the burning of karma. Are you willing to help?"

The Shura woman didn't even understand what it meant, so she hurriedly nodded in agreement. Compared with losing her freedom, being able to save her life is better than anything else!

Ksitigarbha on the side has an easy-going look. With these people helping to take care of trivial matters, he can calmly transform those evil spirits.

Just when he was about to express his ambition and make a vow to the great road, Chang Yi interrupted him in front of him.

"Good and evil are the principles of the cycle of heaven and earth. You can't make all sentient beings do good, and neither can I. It's a great kindness that you can transform them now, as long as you live up to your heart."

Jizo was a little stunned to understand what his teacher meant, so he nodded solemnly and changed half of his ambition to limit himself to eternity.

"I, a disciple of the Western Sect and a disciple of Taiyin Ksitigarbha, are deeply moved by the fact that all sentient beings are affected by bad karma and have no chance of reincarnation. I now make an oath to protect the extremely evil souls in Abi Hell. If the hell is not empty for one day, I won’t leave for a day!”

Boom!

The golden light gathers and all the birds sing in unison, Ksitigarbha has finally entered his destiny!
