"This temple is really not eighteenth floor."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xiao Zhan still suffocated his eyes and gritted his teeth.
Click!
a bolt from the blue!
When the voice fell, Jiang Taiji's handsome face went dark in an instant.
The disciples looked at each other and were shocked.
Although the answer is already known, the faces of many venerables still don't look pretty.
"Xiao Zhan, why on earth?" Jiang Taiji roared.
"This matter is very simple." Xiao Zhan said with a wry smile:
"The design inspiration for this temple is based on the hell of the underworld."
"But the problem is that the hell of the underworld is divided into big and small."
"Although this temple on Guanyin Mountain is nominally 18 floors, the last two floors are just decorations and have no meaning."
"This temple of the Buddha is imitating the underworld, the second hell of King Chu Jiang!"
boom!
The voice fell, and everyone was in an uproar.
but!
After careful contemplation, many disciples understood that Xiao Zhan was right. This was the truth.
Only the great hell built by Yama can be called the eighteen-layer hell.
But what a hero is Hades, how can he manage the hell himself when he is so busy
and so!
Only those severely penalized criminals who have committed the most heinous crimes and committed capital crimes will be imprisoned in the great hell.
As for those less important prisoners, they are detained on the spot according to their household registration.
There are ten generals under the command of the king of Yama, which are called the Ten Temple Yama!
The ten Yama kings each sit in a large area, and they are all princes of one party.
In his own fief, the Yama King built the Yama Temple as his own administrative agency.
And underneath the Yan Luo Temple, there is a prison hidden, specially used to detain criminals under his own fief.
This prison is called-Little Hell!
Generally speaking, in order to show respect for Hades, the construction of the small hell is to imitate the big hell.
Although the Little Hell will also have eighteen floors, the last two floors are decorated.
For the convenience of addressing, according to the order of Hades, the canonization of kings.
The area of the ten temples of Yama is replaced by a number, starting from 1 and ending at 10.
and so!
The ten little hells are successively called the one little hell, the second little hell... and the ten little hells.
Among them, the little hell under the command of King Chujiang was called-the little hell of the Second Hall.
The Second Hall of Hell, a total of sixteen floors, the first floor is called Heiyunsha Little Hell...
Just now, Venerable Yao and Jiang Taiji asked and answered questions, which seemed a little bit ridiculous, but it was not.
because!
The names Jiang Taiji said were the names of the Second Hall Little Hell under King Chu Jiang.
This is the truth!
At the very beginning, only Deng Jiuling knew.
No one can see the cruel truth.
"Speaking of which, this Buddhist temple is really not the eighteenth floor?" Xiang Dong was immediately dumbfounded.
"Even if it is not the eighteenth floor, but Lei Feng only broke through the fifteenth floor, he still loses!" Jiang Taiji had a gloomy expression.
correct!
When this was said, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all felt right.
Even if the Buddha Hall is not on the eighteenth floor, you Lei Feng must also pass the sixteenth floor.
But you only passed the fifteenth floor. Why do you say you won
In an instant, everyone looked at Deng Jiuling's gaze and became dismissive again.
Unexpectedly!
At this critical moment, the silent Venerable Fool spoke again:
"Dear fellow daoists, we joined forces just now to transmit the zhenqi to the temple of the Buddha through the formation."
"Our true spirit, after stepping into the fifteenth floor, has it ever been blocked?"
This…
Hearing this, the deities were stunned for a moment, and they were all a little stunned.
Among the crowd, only Venerable Guanyin was the first to wake up:
"I have never encountered obstacles, which means that the gate of the sixteenth floor has been opened."
"But our true qi did not sense the sixteenth floor, why is this?"
When the voice fell, the deities were taken aback for a moment, and then their faces were serious.
"If it was the sixteenth floor, if it really existed, so much of our true energy would not disappear on the fifteenth floor."
Caressing the white beard, Venerable Yao laughed and said:
"This shows... the last little hell doesn't exist at all!"
boom!
The voice fell, and everyone vibrated.
"Master, this... is this true?" Jiang Taiji's eyes were red, his expression unwilling.
"The little hell of King Chujiang, the sixteenth floor is called the little ice hell, it is a very cold place."
Caressing the white beard, Zhengyi nodded, his eyes were bitter:
"But those of us, we felt the vast thunder after the fifteenth floor."
"At that time, the old man was still a little strange, why there was thunder and why there was no evil spirit."
"I want to come now because the sixteenth floor does not exist, and the fifteenth floor is the end."
When the voice fell, the faces of the disciples became more and more ugly.
"But... Master, the little hell of King Chujiang, why is the last layer gone?" Jiang Taiji asked unwillingly.
Since the temple of the Buddha was built imitating hell, why is there no last floor
Jiang Taiji, can't understand!
The disciples couldn't understand it either!
Even many sages are also incomprehensible.
"My palace finally understands why the venerables of my Guanyintang have said a word when passing on the scrolls."
The voice of Venerable Guanyin suddenly resounded through the audience:
"This sentence, it's—the hell is not empty, and I swear not to become a Buddha!"
If hell is not empty, will you not become a Buddha
What does this mean
Hearing this, all the disciples were taken aback for a moment, and they were a little at a loss.
But after hearing this, the original doubts in the eyes of those venerables disappeared.
Instead, it is a kind of enlightenment.
"The hell is not empty, and I swear not to become a Buddha. This is what the old Bodhisattva said before he stepped into hell from the sun."
Venerable Guanyin said lightly: "At that time, many people didn't know that Ksitigarbha went straight to the last level of hell and saved all the evil inside..."
The Ksitigarbha King's "Hell is not empty, I will swear to become a Buddha", this is a famous saying from the ages, and it is also a classic and bloody sentence of Buddhism.
However, few people know how the Ksitigarbha King saves the dead in hell.
but!
In the Dalin Temple, there are some ancient books about this incident.
According to legend, the Ksitigarbha king went to hell and was not in a hurry to exceed the undead.
Rather, we observed layer by layer and conducted market research first.
The survey was very detailed, and each level of hell was described in detail.
Although the scriptures of the King of Ksitigarbha have disappeared, no one can see it.
But what exactly is described in these handwritings, and there are also general descriptions in the ancient books.
Roughly speaking, in each level of hell, the prisoners are different regardless of the number and degree of danger.
The more layers there are, the fewer mortals are held, the higher the degree of danger, and the smaller the mention.
The first hell is the largest hell, and it is also the one who has the most criminals and the crime is not serious.
Only those death row prisoners waiting to be executed will be detained on the last floor.
For this kind of person, the Ksitigarbha King naturally didn't talk nonsense and killed him with a single blow.
The Buddha said that there are many sentient beings, but this kind of evil person is no longer in the category of sentient beings, but a demon.
"Except for the devil, all sentient beings can turn their heads back and have opportunities."
Venerable Guanyin said lightly: "So, in the age of Ksitigarbha, the last layer of hell was empty."
"Thousands of years ago, when Dalin Patriarch and Guanyin Patriarch joined hands to create the Buddha Hall."
"Although the temple of the Buddha is a simulation, it was built by Chujiang King's sixteen-story little hell."
"But Patriarch and Guanyin Patriarch are both compassionate and compassionate generations. They are worried about the appearance of Ksitigarbha-like figures among the younger generations..."
The King of Ksitigarbha issued Hongyuan, swearing that hell is not empty and that he will not become a Buddha.
Since this ambition is a grand aspiration, it is naturally impossible to realize it.
This is unrealistic!
The Ksitigarbha King could have become a Buddha, but because of this, he was only ten Bodhisattvas and never became a Buddha in his entire life.
Although Ksitigarbha regrets this, he does not regret it.
But the Ksitigarbha no regrets does not mean that other bodhisattvas will not regret it!
such as!
After the Ksitigarbha king, there is no more Bodhisattva willing to step into hell.
It's not them, I don't want all sentient beings.
It's that they all understand one truth-they can't go to extremes.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a very good heart and a firm will.
But he only saw the present, not the future.
If Ksitigarbha gave up his ambition and became a Buddha first.
He used the Buddha's identity, in fact, he could do more for the common people.
But the king of Ksitigarbha gave up becoming a Buddha and went to hell.
In the end, a life-long halt, the realm of Bodhisattva, makes people infinitely regrettable.
A similar situation, Dalin Patriarch does not want it to happen again in Dalin Temple.
Although Dalin Patriarch admires the Ksitigarbha, he also admires his fearless courage.
When Dalin Patriarch would absolutely not allow him, among his disciples and younger generations, figures like Ksitigarbha King appeared.
Talents naturally have to climb to the top and cannot be delayed by others, which leads to the inability to become a Buddha.
This is to lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, it is Guanyin Patriarch, that is absolutely not allowed!
and so!
When designing the temple, although it was sixteen floors, the last floor turned into thunder.
In this way, the last floor of the Buddha Hall is neither decoration nor can it deter demons and those who enter the temple.
This is the truth!
A truth hidden in history and ignored by others.
Although the words of Venerable Guanyin were all her guesses, they were not necessarily correct.
But all the sages understand that this is not the truth, and it will not be too far from the truth.
"That's the case, the true number of floors of the Buddha Hall is naturally fifteen floors."
Caressing the white beard, the smile on Venerable Yao's face became thicker:
"Dear friends, Comrade Lei Feng won, do you have any questions?"
Won
Rumble!
Thunder strike on a sunny day!
The voice fell, the audience was silent, and everyone was thundered.
Nima!
After a long time, Deng Jiuling watched all the way and got all the benefits
by!
Why is this happening
In an instant, the faces of Venerable Dragon Dragon and Venerable Dragon Elephant turned black, and their faces were sour and refreshing.
The two venerables ran out of savings and borrowed so much money, but in the end they didn’t get any money
"That said, the palace announced that from today onwards, Lei Feng and Yue'er..."
Venerable Guanyin stood up and was about to announce the answer.
At this moment, a strong and stern voice suddenly came from outside the hall:
"Wait!"
