The small temple is hidden among the withered vines. Unfortunately, there is no stream or secluded path in front of the door, only an unfathomable cliff.
On the futon,
The Bodhisattva wearing a solemn mask had just finished worshipping the empty altar.
When you stand up,
At the door,
A majestic middle-aged man in a purple dragon robe has appeared at the entrance of the small temple.
"Don't you want to bow?"
The Bodhisattva asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head. "There's still nothing on top."
The Bodhisattva did not comment, walked to the door and stepped over the threshold.
The middle-aged man followed behind him, calm and composed, with just the right amount of respect.
"For thousands of years, we have been worshipped by others. With so much smoke, we tend to get carried away. So, we have to find something to kneel down and worship, just to get rid of the bad luck."
"Can you find it?"
“It’s enough to have it in your heart.”
The Bodhisattva clasped his hands together.
"Also, are you so sure that you can't find it?"
"I didn't come here to discuss Buddhism with you."
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back. At this moment, it seemed as if the sea of clouds began to surrender to him unconsciously.
"Has your Dharma body recovered?" asked the Bodhisattva.
The middle-aged man nodded, then shook his head.
"It has recovered, but I still can't forget that scene. Perhaps you are right, indeed..."
"He is different, different." The Bodhisattva interrupted the middle-aged man, "A period of time, a period of destiny, the establishment of yin and yang, is fundamentally based on cycles.
The way things are in this world, it's a matter of one person taking over and the other taking over. This era no longer belongs to you. Even if you force yourself to come on stage, you won't be able to stay for long. At most, you can only create a little bit of waves like you did last time.
From ancient times to the present day,
There are actually quite a few people still alive today, but they all chose to lie dormant. In fact, lying dormant for a long time is also a kind of domestication, and once you are domesticated, you are no longer yourself.
You become the flowers and trees on the roadside, the rain in the wind, the thunder in the clouds, and nature.
The original Xiezhi is sleeping, and its body has transformed into millions. It seems to be in great glory. Among the ferocious beasts that have survived from ancient times to this day, it can be said to be the most glorious.
But what is the difference between its actions and transforming itself into the pure rules of the Heavenly Dao and becoming a branch of the rules under the Heavenly Dao
It is not living for itself, but in order to live, it gradually gives up itself.
The former master of the Nether Sea, for countless years, we all thought he had fallen, but he is back, but what can he do
A scroll of wind and clouds stirs hell,
But it was just a temporary disturbance after all.
In short, their era has passed, and the stage no longer belongs to them."
"Is this referring to us, too?"
The middle-aged man asked.
“Others don’t understand, don’t you understand
These ten eunuchs are not my people. Replacing you with them is just to follow the trend of stage change and the general trend.
For me,
This top,
What is the difference between you sitting there and them sitting there?"
"I'm still unwilling to accept this." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "This is also what the other people think."
"But you can see it clearly."
The Bodhisattva took a few steps forward.
On the edge closest to the cliff,
There grows a golden lotus.
The hand of the Bodhisattva gently touches the petals.
"I don't think I can understand it."
The Bodhisattva smiled.
Although he was wearing a mask,
But when he laughs,
You can feel the genuine joy of the vegetation around you.
"That monkey is attacking the main city. If you don't believe it, how can you stand here and talk to me calmly?"
The middle-aged man was silent.
"It's because you are convinced in your heart that the era that belonged to Mount Tai has passed. Even if those former legacies and relics pop up again, they will only pop up a few times.
It's possible to make some noise, but is it possible to break the sky, or even change the sky?"
"That is the first generation of monkeys after all."
The Bodhisattva smiled again.
The wind on the cliff became warmer.
At this moment,
The surrounding scenery became soft and hazy, with an atmosphere of peace.
"You just think that your era will pass, and you will have to give up the stage, so you are too lazy to clean up this mess."
The Bodhisattva stretched out his hand.
Gently pinched off the golden lotus in front of him,
And threw it into the cliff,
For a time,
Golden butterflies are flying,
Slowly rising,
Covered by the sea of clouds.
"Shouldn't it be? We old guys are all ready to pack up and leave. Is there any reason for us to prepare a new house for them?"
The Bodhisattva sighed.
“So, among the ten of you, the one I’ve always admired the most is Lu.
He only cares about what he should do, what he needs to do, and what he can do, without thinking about anything else.
you,
They are all old people from the Taishan era.
But he was the only one who didn't carry the same decadent aura as Mount Tai."
After hearing the name "Lu", the middle-aged man fell silent.
"It's not time to go on stage yet. The destiny of the game and the law of luck are all about gradual progress. If you are impatient, you will not be able to eat hot tofu.
Previously, the Ten Eunuchs had taken action and destroyed the Palace of King Pingdeng, leaving one of the Ten Palaces of Hell missing;
Then,
That incident happened right away.
One of the ten fingers of the Ten Eunuchs was cut off."
The Bodhisattva turned around.
Looking at the middle-aged man, he continued:
“This is the drawback of going on stage early. Standing in the middle of the stage is an honor, but also a constraint.
Once you are on top, even if you know you will have to step down soon, but the time is not right, why don't you try to step down in advance? "
The Bodhisattva raised his hand.
The golden dancing butterflies in the sky gathered together and turned into a golden Kun.
Kun is vast and majestic.
It turned into a dazzling golden light.
At this moment,
The area is illuminated directly, making it as bright as day.
immediately,
Roaring up,
Heading east!
“The main city can be destroyed. After all, the underworld is so large that losing a main city will not shake the foundation of the underworld. However, the people’s hearts cannot be completely dispersed for the time being.
We must show those eyes hidden in the darkness around us,
This stage,
We are going to go down.
but,
The next group of people who walked up,
Absolutely not them.
Besides,
It is not time to completely change the order of yin and yang yet. We must proceed step by step. "
The Bodhisattva clasped his hands together.
Facing the east, he chanted the Heart Sutra.
The big golden bird,
With the glow of the sunset,
Flying over the sky of hell,
Passing on,
It is the supreme will of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
He is still here.
It’s not time for the underworld to fall yet.
After a while,
The Bodhisattva put down his hands.
road:
"Aren't you going yet?"
The middle-aged man was in a hurry to move, but asked:
“I have always been curious, what is the purpose of this
The first generation of monkeys, according to legend, guarded the tomb of the first generation until their death;
now,
Why did you have to run out again? "
There is some truth,
The middle-aged man felt that he could see and feel it all.
He didn't think the previous Lord couldn't see clearly.
not to mention,
That one is the first generation!
The Taishan lineage is recognized as the strongest and most brilliant!
In this case,
After such a toss,
And what for
Just to vent your anger
"The son doesn't feel bad for selling his father's land."
"Is it because of the last generation?"
When mentioning the word "last generation", the middle-aged man's tone changed obviously.
because,
He had come into contact with the last Lord of the Mansion, and it could even be said that he was promoted by the last Lord of the Mansion.
only,
After the last emperor suddenly disappeared,
He chose to betray the lineage of the Lord of the Mansion.
“The first generation was indeed amazing.
He was born in the most turbulent era of Hell, and he personally ended that era and created the order of Hell that continues to this day.
If the first generation were born in this era,
You, us, and even the Ten Attendants who came after us, had no chance at all to go on stage.
However, the water of Mount Tai will eventually dry up.
Among the imperial families in the world of the living, very few survive for more than three hundred years.
Hell is magnificent, controls yin and yang, and follows the laws of nature. Only the first generation dares to truly pass on this hell and make it their own family empire!
This generation after generation of the Lord,
From the turbulent times to the last generation's hands,
Such a long time,
Such a long luck,
It is not something that ordinary people can do to replace one's own family members with another after they step down.
But there are always exceptions, and there is always an end.”
When it comes to this,
The Bodhisattva smiled again.
Around your feet,
Countless new golden lotuses grew, waving in the wind.
“It has been rumored in hell that I was the one who caused the disappearance of the last generation, thus ending the lineage of the Lord of the Mansion.
In fact,
The cause and effect relationship is really reversed.
It wasn’t that I showed up and he ended it;
But because he was going to be finished, I showed up.”
"But it's over after all." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's over."
A golden light shone from the eyes of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva under his mask.
at this time,
His eyes are the eyes of Kun,
He saw the collapse of the main city wall,
I saw the black monkey killing people everywhere.
I saw the terrifying wave of ferocious beasts below.
at the same time,
He said:
"Li."
"I am here."
"Do you know where these ferocious beasts come from?"
The middle-aged man replied: "The seal of the Far West Sealed Land could no longer be maintained."
“I once thought that the first generation defeated the giants of the turbulent era and sealed them together in order to bring peace to hell and end that catastrophic era of chaotic yin and yang.”
"Isn't it?"
"How many years have you not been to the world of the living?"
“It’s been a while.”
"If you have nothing to do, you can go up and take a look. The changes in the world of the living are huge."
"Really? But in the thousand years that I've been in charge of the prison, the guilt and debts of the dead souls seem to have never changed."
“You can really go up and take a look.”
"Okay, what are you going to see?"
"There is a new thing emerging in the world of the living.
I think it is very appropriate to describe the giant who sealed the turbulent years of the first generation."
"What is it?"
"Battery."

I have to go out on a journey today, and the journey is a bit tight, so I can only update once today.
