Honghuang: Senior Brother of the Chan Sect, I am Guangchengzi
Chapter 188: The Netherworld Sect’s Outstanding Dao
Chapter 188: The Netherworld Sect’s Outstanding Dao
The immortals ignored these resentful souls and rushed straight to the sky. In this highest sky, an unreachable black wheel stood on it. There were six holes on the wheel, but only two of them were glowing with light, accepting souls to reincarnate, while the other four holes remained pitch black.
This wheel is reincarnation, and the six holes are the six paths, representing the six places of reincarnation.
Guang Chengzi pointed at the Six Paths of Reincarnation and said, “Uncle Minghe, this is the key to solving the problem of the Asura race’s reproduction.”
The ancestor of the Styx took a closer look and carefully examined the six reincarnations. Originally, he was a little confused about how they were related to each other?
But after looking at it again and again, he suddenly had an idea and said, “You want me to designate one of the paths as the Asura Path? From now on, as long as a soul enters the Asura Path, an Asura will be born. This is indeed a good idea!”
The old ancestor of the Styx was extremely happy. If he could really determine one of the paths as the Asura Path, then he wouldn’t have to work so hard to gather the wronged souls.
How could his knowledge of the soul compare to that of the Great Way of Reincarnation? With the help of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, his Asura would surely flourish in the world!
The Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Underworld are located below the sea of blood. While absorbing the power of the filthy sea of blood, they are also invaded by the filthy sea of blood.
Therefore, the ancestor of the Styx naturally has a way to designate one of the paths as the Asura Path, and this method is on a first-come, first-served basis. By the time other great gods react, they will no longer have such a good opportunity.
So the ancestor of the Styx didn’t waste any words and immediately broke into one of the dark caves. After a moment, he saw flashes of blood in the dark cave. It was obvious that the great god was using the Shura method to transform this reincarnation.
Guang Chengzi sent the old man Minghe away, turned his head and looked at his fellow apprentices, and said in a deep voice: “My fellow apprentices, the reason why I summoned you here first is to promote my Chanjiao Dharma. Are you willing?”
All the immortals said in unison: “Junior brother, obey your orders, please follow my orders, Senior brother!”
Guangchengzi has been passing on skills on behalf of his master for many years, and he has authority in front of these disciples, which is equivalent to a half-master and half-brother existence. He also knows that Yuanshi Tianzun values this eldest brother very much.
If Guangchengzi punished them, even if it was just beating them half to death, it would be useless to report it to Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi Tianzun would either ignore it or think that you are indeed at fault. Otherwise, why would Guangchengzi punish you?
It would be fine if I just punished you, but you actually dared to come here and tell on me, so I have to teach you a lesson too.
So now that Guangchengzi gave orders, they dared not disobey him.
Guang Chengzi nodded, pointed at Taiyi Zhenren, and said, “Brother Taiyi, have you completed the practice of the Ten Directions Incarnation Technique that I taught you earlier?”
Taiyi Zhenren was stunned, but nodded quickly and said, “Junior brother has completed his training and can separate into ten incarnations. I wonder if you have any instructions?”
Guang Chengzi smiled with satisfaction after hearing this and whispered a few words to him. Taiyi Zhenren’s eyes widened immediately, but he nodded in the end, flew into the air immediately, and said loudly: “God is above, I am Taiyi Zhenren of Yuxu Palace, and I am obeying the order of the leader of the Chan Sect, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, to transform into the Ten Kings of Hell, sit in the netherworld, lead souls and save ghosts, and save all living beings. God is my witness!”
As Taiyi Zhenren finished speaking, ten Jade Pure Immortal Lights suddenly fell from his body. The lights rolled on the ground and transformed into ten Yama Kings.
When the ten Yama Kings appeared, the six realms of reincarnation suddenly vibrated ten times in succession. Every time there was a vibration, a karma position appeared and fell upon one of the Yama Kings.
Afterwards, another ten black and white precious books fell and fell into the hands of the ten Yama Kings. On each of the precious books, there were three big characters, titled: Book of Life and Death. And below the three characters “Book of Life and Death”, the characters “Sub-volume” were written.
And when the ten karma positions appeared, ten palaces suddenly appeared in the originally chaotic underworld. These palaces were arranged in order from top to bottom, with rosy clouds gathering and auspicious aura always present. All kinds of resentful souls retreated and did not dare to approach at all. These were spontaneously derived from the Heavenly Dao, and were used by the Ten Kings of Hell to judge the actions of souls.
The ten kings of hell also reside in this palace. Starting with King Qin Guang, they constantly judge the deeds of these resentful souls in their lifetime to decide whether they should be sent into reincarnation or punished in hell first.
The standard for judgment is the Golden Rule, which is the rule of the Chan teaching.
When Taiyi Zhenren obtained the incarnations of the Ten Kings of Hell, his aura suddenly surged and he immediately broke through to the Taiyi realm, and then continued to grow.
In the end, Taiyi Zhenren only needed an opportunity to break through to the Daluo realm and become equal to Master Xuandu.
Seeing that his cultivation had improved so much, Taiyi Zhenren was extremely happy. He immediately bowed to Guangchengzi and said loudly: “Junior brother, thank you for your help. I will never forget this kindness!”
Guang Chengzi smiled slightly, pulled Taiyi Zhenren up, then looked at the twelve immortals with shining eyes. Finally, he said to Taoist Cihang: “Junior Brother Cihang, do you still remember the Red Lotus Karma Diagram that I taught you earlier?”
Seeing that the next person was Taoist Cihang, the other nine immortals were disappointed but also perked up. After all, Guangchengzi had taught them many Taoist methods before.
Taoist Cihang didn’t expect it to be him, and immediately nodded and said, “Brother, remember, please give me your instructions!”
Guang Chengzi then whispered a few more words to the Taoist Cihang. After hearing this, the Taoist Cihang did not hesitate and flew into the air, saying loudly: “God is above. I am the Taoist Cihang of Yuxu Palace. I am following the order of the Saint Leader of the Chan Sect, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun. Today, I have separated the incarnation of the red spider lily and am in charge of all matters related to forgetting worries. Once I enter the cycle of reincarnation, all my past will be forgotten. God is my witness!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Six Paths of Reincarnation shook again, and then another karma position fell, merging with the red light on the body of Master Pudu, and finally transformed into a young and beautiful girl.
The girl bowed to all the immortals, then went towards somewhere in reincarnation and sat down quietly.
As the girl sat down, millions of scarlet flowers suddenly blossomed. As the flowers blossomed, a faint fragrance from the previous life continued to waft out, luring the resentful souls here.
When a resentful soul dies, what it cares about most is not something but things from its past life.
The reason why they resent the living is because the living can do things that they can no longer do, and can see the people they want to see the most, so they are naturally jealous and want to drag the other party to live and die with them. At this time, the fragrance of the previous life came out again, and these souls could not help but come to these flowers immediately.
The name of this flower is: Red Spider Lily. When the flower blooms, the leaves are invisible, and when the leaves fall, the flower is invisible. They are together day and night for countless years, but they have never met each other.
Just like these resentful souls and their previous lives, no matter how closely connected they are, once dead they are dead, just like flowers blooming and leaves falling, there is no connection between them anymore.
The girl also felt the bitterness, sweetness, and sweetness of the world in this red spider lily, and tears flowed unconsciously. Her originally fair and tender skin turned into chicken skin, and her bright eyes became dim. Finally, she turned into a white-haired, trembling old woman, who called herself Meng Po.
Meng Po spontaneously took out a small jar, which was filled with the five flavors of the world, the seven emotions and the six desires. Each one was the most emotional thing in the world, which could make the heartless cry and make the heartless happy.
But when so many passionate things are gathered together, they become a pot of heartless soup.
Any soul that enters the sea of red spider lilies will almost certainly drink the soup in a daze, and eventually completely forget their past, with all grudges and hatreds being dissolved in the soup.
With the incarnation of Meng Po, Taoist Cihang’s cultivation also skyrocketed, and was even no less fast than that of Taoist Taiyi.
Guangchengzi then told the other twelve immortals the key points and helped them obtain various incarnations of their karma. This did not harm their own cultivation and they could obtain the blessing of heaven. It was perfect.
True Man Huanglong is the Dragon King of Wangchuan, who is afraid that Liu Sun will become the master of Naihe Bridge.
The Lingbao Master is the deity of Wangxiangtai, and Manjusri Bodhisattva is the God of Huangquan River.
Samantabhadra sits on the throne of the Five Ghost Emperors, and Jade Ding is the judge of the world.
Daoxing Tianzun transformed into the Great Emperor of Fengdu, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun transformed into the Lord of ghosts and gods in the underworld.
Chi Jingzi is at the bottom and is the god who rules over hell.
The Kings of Hell of the Ten Directions, Po Meng on the Other Shore, Dragon King of Wangchuan River, Lord of the Naihe Bridge, God of Wangxiangtai, God of Huangquan River, Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions, Judge of the World, Emperor Fengdu, Lord of Ghosts and Gods of the Netherworld, God in Charge of Hell.
With the seats distributed in this way, the entire underworld is almost completely complete.
Whenever a living being dies, its soul is taken away by the omnipresent Yellow Spring and enters the netherworld. It is first judged by the judge in the mortal world and finally handed over to the ten Hades for management.
If you are a kind person, you can go directly to the sea of flowers on the other side of the river, take a last look at your previous life on the Wangxiang Terrace, drink Mengpo soup, forget everything, and then step onto the Naihe Bridge over the Wangchuan River. There are many wronged souls constantly pulling under the bridge.
If you are pulled down by these wronged souls and fall into the Forgetful River, it means that your foundation is unstable and you cannot enter the path of good, but only the path of evil.
If one is an evil person, he will be thrown directly into hell and suffer as many punishments as the grains of sand in the Ganges River. Finally, all the sins on his body will be washed away in painful punishment, and then he will go to the sea of flowers on the other shore.
But there are always souls that do not want to reincarnate, so they can also choose to become citizens of Fengdu and practice as well.
But they must be supervised by the Five Ghost Emperors, listen to the teachings of the Lord of the Netherworld and ghosts, and must not act recklessly, otherwise they will also be thrown into hell.
It was so perfect that no one was left with a chance to survive, and no one could interfere anymore. The entire six realms of reincarnation were almost divided up among the twelve immortals.
At this time, Guang Chengzi also rose into the air and swore to the sky: “Heaven is above. I, Guang Chengzi, now establish a religion called Netherworld. From now on, I will be the leader of the Netherworld and teach the gods of the Netherworld to practice. I will use the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to suppress the fate of the religion. Heaven is my witness!”
Boom!
As soon as this oath was uttered, luck and merit began to gather again between heaven and earth. However, unlike the huge luck and merit of the Six Saints Sect, all of this luck and merit came from the Netherworld. One could only see a golden light of merit and fortune and blossoming luck flowers descending, which was incomparable to the visions of the other twelve immortals.
After all, the Netherworld Sect is only responsible for educating the underworld, not for educating all living beings, so naturally it cannot get a response from the ancient world.
The Netherworld is mainly about the six realms of reincarnation, and the Netherworld Sect has nothing to do with reincarnation, so the luck and fortune it obtains is naturally not as good as that of the other twelve immortals.
Guangchengzi didn’t care about this. After all, he had already made up his mind to turn the Netherworld into the second place for the Chan teaching.
When one day, the Netherworld Cult completely controls the entire Netherworld, even if his status cannot reach that of a saint, it will not be much different from that of a great god like the Styx Patriarch.
When the Netherworld Sect was established, everything needed to be rebuilt. Guangchengzi naturally had no way to return to Kunlun. Even the other twelve immortals were busy consolidating their positions, so they were busy in the Netherworld.
The Great Master Xuandu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also helped Guangchengzi to teach and convert many wronged souls in the underworld, so that they did not return to Kunlun and the West.
It would be fine if it was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. After all, one more or one less of him wouldn’t make much difference in the Western Paradise, and he could also use this to understand some truths about reincarnation.
However, Master Xuandu, the eldest senior brother of the Human Sect, did not return to Kunlun, and the Jade Purity Immortals were busy in the Netherworld, so Kunlun Mountain had become the territory of the Jie Sect.
