The top of Mount Tai
The Bodhisattva who was knocked down and came up again is still watering his flowers.
but,
There seemed to be a trace of throbbing coming from somewhere.
He stopped what he was doing.
He gently put the kettle down and walked slowly into the small temple.
The small temple seemed very empty.
Only the most basic furnishings indicate that this is a temple.
But the emptiness on the altar makes this temple seem quite lacking.
A temple is called a temple because of the "statue" it has. When believers come in, they need a place to put their hopes and someone to kowtow to.
The Bodhisattva reached out and picked up a square handkerchief from the edge of the water tank on the inside of the door, carefully washed the handkerchief in the water tank, and squeezed it dry;
Next,
The Bodhisattva walked to the altar.
Wipe the altar carefully with a towel.
actually,
There is no dust on it.
Even if you don't clean it, there won't be dust.
But it still needs cleaning up.
Clean up,
It is to welcome.
This is also a sense of ritual. The accumulation of complex and sophisticated rituals will eventually evolve slowly into a religious atmosphere.
After wiping the altar,
The Bodhisattva holding the handkerchief took two steps back.
Looking at the empty altar in front of me,
He felt a sense of relief.
For so many years, he has been busy, planning, and waiting.
etc.
It's just this day.
Something needs to be placed on the altar so that one can have something to worship when kneeling on the cushion every day.
Some people pursue the goal of being the only one in the world.
But some people pursue the idea that where the heart is at peace is my hometown;
The directions of pursuit are different, and the understandings of life and all things are also different, so it is impossible to arbitrarily distinguish between superior and inferior.
You should clean the house before inviting guests.
The Bodhisattva walked out of the small temple,
The Bodhisattva walked through the flowerbed he had planted,
The Bodhisattva stood on the edge of the top of Mount Tai.
In front of it,
It is a vast sea of clouds.
At its feet,
It is an unfathomable cliff.
The Bodhisattva raised his feet and stepped forward.
Walking step by step in the void,
Lotus flowers bloom at every step;
Golden lotus flowers blossomed at his feet, creating a vast glow that illuminated all directions.
Walking and walking,
The Bodhisattva stopped.
He clasped his hands together.
He bowed his head and recited devoutly:
"My Buddha... ... is merciful."
… …
The deep valley,
Elegant and unique Taoist temple,
In the hall,
The nine attendants opened their eyes at the same time.
There was a purple glow flowing in the eyes of each of them.
Not many people know of their existence;
They were mistakenly believed to be raised by Bodhisattvas as spare parts to replace the Ten Kings of Hell.
If we ignore the bloodbath of the Ninth Palace by the Ten Eunuchs a year and a half ago,
They have actually always been very low-key.
now,
The bell for the last performance has already rung.
Now,
It's their turn to take the stage.
The remaining eight Yamas have completely given up.
Their ambition, their duty, their responsibility,
These are not many.
After thousands of years of erosion, these few
In the past two years,
With the death of the two Yamas, it completely fell apart.
The nine attendants walked out of the Taoist temple together.
They were wearing their own official robes.
Although he is dressed in fine clothes, what he displays is not masculinity, but a kind of femininity that cascades down like water.
They don't mind being ridiculed for their attire.
When they replaced Yama and stood at the highest position,
The dark crowd below will be proud to wear this dress.
It was just like a thousand years ago when the people below watched the era of the Lord of the Mansion come to an end and watched the Yamas take over.
The Lord of the Mansion, who has been passed down for many generations, is gone just like that. Don't expect these Yamas to win over many people's hearts.
The Great Changqiu stood in front.
In the pond before them,
A lotus flower blooms brilliantly.
"The time has come."
A smile appeared on Da Changqiu's lips, and his figure turned into a blue light, rushing straight into the sky.
Behind him, eight blue lights followed closely.
Together they flew to Mount Tai,
And in front of Mount Tai, he stopped and revealed his figure.
The Bodhisattva is still standing in the void.
“See you, Bodhisattva.”
The nine attendants bowed to the Bodhisattva together.
Compared to the respectful and slightly flattering attitude that the Yamas had shown towards the Bodhisattva before,
The Ten Eunuchs seemed much more indifferent.
The idea of raising a baby is not true at all.
The Ten Eternal Attendants and the Bodhisattvas are equal in nature.
If it weren't for the end of the ancient times, the Lord of Hell risked his own death to stop all this.
possible,
Next,
This hell has never had an era of the Lord of the Palace, nor an era of Yama.
hell,
Will from beginning to end,
It's their era.
The Bodhisattva remained silent.
Just look up,
Look up at the sky.
The sky of hell was nothing to look at, but today, he wanted to see it very much...
The eight attendants flew away and headed for their respective targets.
The Great Minister stayed where he was, standing beside the Bodhisattva.
A year and a half ago, the Grand Chamberlain was chased by Ying Gou and had to flee all over hell in a panic.
Now,
He really looks like a human being.
He who laughs last often laughs best.
Da Changqiu comforted himself in this way.
"He's here again." said Da Changqiu.
The Bodhisattva remained silent and continued to look at the sky very seriously.
"Do you want to keep him?"
Da Changqiu continued to ask.
The Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "No need."
Upon hearing this, Da Changqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
However,
This breath has just subsided.
His heart was suddenly lifted up again.
He saw a familiar figure flying towards him from a distance.
On the wall of the main city of the underworld, Zhou Ze killed King Chujiang without too much delay, nor was he interested in enjoying the afterglow of a high dynasty where a Yama fell in his hands.
He left the main city directly.
actually,
He had no intention of coming to Mount Tai.
But Mount Tai is located almost in the center of hell.
To go from one corner to another diagonal corner, you must pass through here.
Da Changqiu stood proudly,
But his hands behind his back were trembling slightly.
The Bodhisattva finally moved his gaze down from the sky and fell on Zhou Ze in front of him.
"The water is almost leaking out. If we don't leave now, we will really be unable to leave."
This is not caring.
But a threat.
Everyone present had personally witnessed Ying Gou’s unrivaled beauty, but at the same time, they were also aware of Ying Gou’s current weakness.
Just avoid his attack, and later, if you can find him, you can deal with him easily.
Da Changqiu took a step forward and stood in front of the Bodhisattva.
Like a loyal old dog.
However, the old dog's aura was openly scattered around, and it was obvious that he was ready to evacuate people at any time. Moreover, he did it very obviously, so he was not afraid that the Bodhisattva would notice it.
Zhou Ze looked at Da Changqiu, and took a step forward in the air.
Da Changqiu's old face froze.
road:
"Does it have to be this way?"
"Standing in front of me... is you."
Zhou Ze took another step forward.
Da Changqiu took a deep breath, silently turned sideways, took three steps back, and made way.
"I admit that I am no match for you right now, but just because I lost to you once, I don't necessarily think I will lose to you again in the future."
The old dog doesn't dare to bite people and can only bark.
Zhou Ze looked at Da Changqiu calmly.
"More than once."
The Grand Chamberlain was stunned for a moment, and then fell into depression.
Next,
Zhou Ze walked in front of the Bodhisattva.
The Bodhisattva is still wearing a mask, and no one knows what kind of face is hidden under the mask.
in the end,
Is there any compassion at all
Hell is not empty,
I vow not to become a Buddha;
Then just mess up and destroy hell, until it is no longer hell, and that will be enough.
"You think... you're smart?"
Zhou Ze asked.
The Bodhisattva did not comment.
After a while,
The Bodhisattva asked in return:
"What do you...think?"
Zhou Ze took another step forward.
It brings me closer to the Bodhisattva.
A golden glow appeared in front of the Bodhisattva, forming a barrier. Within the barrier, there was a small world, creating a distance like a chasm.
It can be seen that
The Bodhisattva is still very wary of Zhou Ze.
After all, it was only recently that he was punched.
Zhou Ze reached out and took the old ginseng from his shoulder.
Only a small part of the tail is left of the old mountain ginseng, and there are also several long tail whiskers.
Zhou Ze picked up the old mountain ginseng.
"Crack",
Took a bite.
Now there is only the last bit of the old mountain ginseng left, which is the tiny bit that still has a few tail whiskers.
The Bodhisattva saw this.
It seems like he sighed.
Actively dispersed his defensive barrier.
"Bang!"
This punch is the answer.
On this day, another Yama fell from hell.
On this day, the Ten Eunuchs came out and began to take over the entire underworld.
On this day,
Buddha,
quilt,
Throw two punches.
