Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
He was one of the four great Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist League, and his cultivation had long reached the peak. It was impossible to estimate him with common sense.
Unlike the other three Bodhisattvas, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not live in the Great Thunderclap Temple in the Western Ox Continent, but in the underworld.
..............
The sky was dark, and the dry land was brown. Thick black smoke floated on the desolate land.
Many translucent souls wandered aimlessly on this deathly silent continent.
Some of them were in human form, some in beast form, and some in bird form.
He had no consciousness, no instincts, and no thoughts. He just walked on the earth eternally.
There were also some souls whose eye sockets emitted a faint luster. They were extremely ferocious and unscrupulously destroyed all the souls around the Devourer.
These were vengeful souls and evil spirits.
All of them came from the Three Realms.
No one could tell how many living beings there were in the three worlds.
Even the legendary saints could not give a specific number.
Because there were simply too many lives.
From insects, ants, a blade of grass, to a flower.
Birds, beasts, and giant whales.
Everything had a spirit, and no one knew how many souls returned to the underworld in an instant.
Even if there were ten Yama Kings, four Ghost Emperors, and even the Emperor of Feng Du in the Netherworld, it was still impossible to completely deal with it.
Such vengeful spirits and souls had long spread throughout the entire Netherworld.
One after another, the souls of the dead walked on the ground. When they reached a certain place, they would lose control and naturally turn in a direction.
In the beginning, there were only a few Dead Souls, but as time passed, more and more Dead Souls appeared. Moreover, there was gradually a trace of expression on their faces.
Clang!
The ancient bell rang, and golden light filled the air. The ancient aura of Buddha appeared in the underworld.
Golden Buddhist runes and Zen sounds rang out.
These Buddhist lights that should not have appeared in the underworld had already guarded this place for countless years…
The golden light shone, and many souls gradually dissipated.
Their souls returned to the world, but they did not seem to be struggling in pain.
Instead, he put his hands together and knelt down quietly. He looked at the ancient and only pagoda in the distance and offered the highest worship to the Buddha who was receiving them in the dark.
"Clang ~~"
The Buddha bell was mighty, and one after another, the souls of the dead gradually dissipated with expressions of relief.
"There are more and more souls…"
A figure sat cross-legged on a pagoda in the distance, surrounded by endless Buddhist light.
This figure was slender and handsome. He wore an old kasaya and seemed to be surrounded by countless Buddhist kingdoms.
This figure was none other than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism!
Similarly, he was also the only Buddha in the three worlds 'underworld!
The Buddhist light circulated. Ever since he came to the netherworld, it was his duty to purify the souls of the dead in the netherworld.
Now, countless years had passed. Under the mighty Buddhist light, Ksitigarbha had long lost count of how many souls he had purified.
He pressed his palms together and silently circulated his divine art to calm the suffering souls below.
"Why did you come here instead of cultivating in the pagoda?”
At this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke slowly.
'Shua!'
Light swirled, and a figure slowly appeared.
He had a tiger's head, a horn, dog ears, a dragon's body, a lion's tail, and qilin's feet. His body was black and gold, tall and mighty.
It was none other than the divine beast Diting!
"I came out to get some fresh air."
Di Ting said.
Although Truth Listener was Ksitigarbha's mount in name, in fact, Truth Listener had fought alongside Ksitigarbha since ancient times.
Rather than calling him a mount, it was more like his only friend and family.
Just like Yang Jian and Xiao Tianquan.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and did not notice anything unusual.
As for Di Ting, he narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to trick Ksitigarbha into leaving.
Sighing slightly, Di Ting asked casually,""Bodhisattva, how many tens of thousands of years have we been here? When can we get out of here?”
"Amitabha."
"If hell is not empty, I swear I will not become a Buddha.”
"I'm afraid I'll need you and This Penniless Monk to stay here for a few more days.”
Ksitigarbha said softly.
In ancient times, Ksitigarbha had once made a great wish. If hell was not empty, one would not become a Buddha. This was a kind of tribulation and also a kind of cultivation.
"But Bodhisattva, do you know when you will be able to completely purify these souls?”asked Di Ting.
Ksitigarbha shook his head and did not answer.
"If you can't stay any longer, you can go to the netherworld to play for a few days, but you must pay attention to your safety. Don't be like last time, not returning for decades.”
Obviously, the Tsenpo King didn't know when the Nether Soul would be purified, because this thing was almost endless.
"Bodhisattva, if you don't go out, what's the point of me going out alone?”Di Ting yawned lazily and asked casually,""What if I say that I might have a way to directly make Bodhisattva become Buddha?”
"Directly become a Buddha?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was chanting, was stunned.
Then, he slowly smiled and shook his head.
"Di Ting, how can becoming a Buddha be as simple as you think? After reaching This Penniless Monk's realm, every step is a huge chasm.”
"If I could become a Buddha so easily, why would I make such a great wish?”
As expected, he still wanted to become a Buddha!
Di Ting's eyes lit up.
Di Ting had stayed by Ksitigarbha's side for countless years and knew him very well.
There was no Buddhist disciple who did not want to become a Buddha, and Ksitigarbha was no exception.
However, Ksitigarbha suppressed this thought very deeply.
It was so deep that he almost didn't think about it.
However, as long as you have this thought, I, Truth Listener, can coax you out!
The Truth Listener Beast's eyes lit up. It was still lying on the ground as it spoke in a very casual tone.
"Maybe there really is."
"Bodhisattva, haven't you always been curious about where I've been in the past few decades?”
"Actually, I encountered a hidden ancient existence.”
"This ancient existence is very powerful. He's definitely a mighty figure worthy of respect. I don't know how long he has existed in this world.”
"I received a lot of guidance from him. I learned a lot there.”
"Unfortunately, that existence did not allow me to publicize it in the outside world. Even Bodhisattva can only say this much.”
An ancient mighty figure?
Ksitigarbha fell into deep thought.
Truth Listener's cultivation had indeed increased greatly.
Especially after not seeing him for decades, his cultivation had soared several times after the Truth Listener Beast returned.
There were also many spells and spells that he had never seen before!
After he observed it, it gave him great inspiration!
Did Di Ting learn that from an ancient mighty figure?
Ksitigarbha was a little puzzled.
Only a few of the ancient mighty figures still existed. The rest had either fled far away into the Chaos or died in the great tribulation.
Who was this?
Was it still in the Three Realms?
"If Bodhisattva were to go and discuss the Dao with that existence, he might be able to find a way to truly become a Buddha!”
As Di Ting said this, his eyes were bright.
Truth Listener really wanted to trick Ksitigarbha into attacking Spirited Mountain. After all, he didn't have any control over Spirited Mountain.
However, it was obvious that it was impossible to trick Ksitigarbha into attacking the Spirit Mountain.
If he wanted Ksitigarbha to make a move, he had to first trick him to his master and then slowly think of a way!
"An ancient existence huh…"
Ksitigarbha pondered slowly, but in the end, he shook his head.
"There's no need. The underworld is not empty, so I can't leave this place.”
"Why are you still so stubborn?”Di Ting said anxiously.
In fact, half of the reason why he wanted Ksitigarbha to attack Spirited Mountain this time was because of the Taoist temple's selfishness. He wanted Ksitigarbha to help out.
The other half was because Di Ting couldn't stand the Buddhist Sect anymore!
Look at the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism swaying in the human world and the Heaven Realm. With a casual grab and a drizzle, they could obtain a large amount of good thoughts and faith. The benefits came one after another!
On the other hand, he had worked so hard to obtain the essence and soul of the dead. Not only was he exhausted, but there were also no benefits at all!
It had been tens of thousands of years, and not a single ray of light had shone down!
Staying here alone makes my heart ache!
It wasn't easy for me to go to the dojo and see an accident
Di Ting also wanted Ksitigarbha to get out of his current predicament!
No!
He had to make this stubborn person meet his master!!
In the following period of time, in order to get Ksitigarbha to go to the dojo, Di Ting really racked his brains!
Day and night, without a moment of rest, he came here to nag after eating.
Finally, after a full week, Ksitigarbha finally opened his eyes helplessly.
"Di Ting, do you really admire the place you went to that much?”
" Naturally, I admire him!!" Di Ting replied anxiously, smoke coming out of his throat.
Ksitigarbha shook his head helplessly. In the end, he slowly stood up and spoke in a helpless tone.
"Then, just take a look."
Di Ting's eyes were filled with excitement!
"Don't worry! I definitely won't disappoint Bodhisattva!"
