Chapter 413 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

In the Southern Continent, there is the Liyang Guiyu, which is 600 miles away.

Somewhere in a deep cave.

After Jin Hu Duoduo used his innate magical power “Mind-Seeing Mark” to extract the heavenly soldier that matched the Great Sage Huang Feng.

Jin Hulu Duoduo’s gaze turned to the heavenly soldier of the true immortal level who matched Princess Halloween.

At this time, facing this heavenly soldier at the true immortal level.

Jinhu Duoduo seemed much more cautious.

After all, True Immortals are one stage higher than Heavenly Immortals and are of the same level as her.

Beings at the level of True Immortals, with powerful souls, complex causes and effects, and heavy obsessions, are far beyond the reach of ordinary celestial soldiers for her now.

In order to cope with the upcoming challenge, Jinhu Duoduo took a deep breath and forced out three drops of essence blood.

These three drops of blood are undoubtedly extremely precious to her, as they contain the life essence and source of power of Golden Gourd Duoduo.

For a moment, the surface of her black gourd soul even faded briefly, which shows how heavy the burden is and how seriously she takes this matter.

However, just as Jin Hulu Duoduo adjusted her breathing, concentrated her demonic power, and once again performed the soul-sucking technique, and used her unique “mind-seeing mark” to try to extract the memory of this heavenly soldier.

A sudden change occurred!

A strange power originating from the underworld suddenly surged out of the heavenly soldier’s three souls and seven spirits, as if some dormant seal was suddenly awakened.

“oops……”

Jin Hulu Duoduo screamed, feeling as if all the meridians in his body were pierced by hundreds of thousands of steel needles at the same time, causing unbearable pain.

In an instant, her eyes went dark and she became temporarily blind.

At this moment, a mixture of cold and hot breaths blew towards me.

A red lotus fire suddenly bloomed among the three souls and seven spirits of the heavenly soldier.

The red lotus fire originated from the depths of hell, with a strange blood-red flame, burning fiercely, emitting an aura of destruction, and rushed straight towards the golden gourd.

This fire is like extremely cold ice and extremely hot flame, making people feel an unprecedented chill, but at the same time accompanied by a burning sensation.

Its temperature fluctuates unpredictably, like ice and fire, very strange.

“Ok?”

“Red Lotus Karmic Fire?”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he was about to take action to investigate this sudden change.

Just then, a green light suddenly appeared.

The Monkey King has already taken out the “Green Light Liangyi Lamp”.

The Monkey King waved his hand lightly, and an emerald green barrier emanated from the Emerald Yin-Yang Lamp, which stood firmly in front of Jin Hulu Duoduo, isolating her from the red lotus karma fire.

As soon as the attack of the red lotus fire touched the green barrier, it was like a drop in the ocean, and was completely transformed into yin and yang energy and dissipated into the air.

At the same time, a blazing sun fire suddenly burst out from the wick of the Cui Guang Liang Yi Lamp. The sun fire was hot and bright, like a red sun in the sky, emitting endless light and heat.

The true fire of the sun and the karma fire of the red lotus formed a sharp contrast. One was as hot as the sun, full of vitality and vigor; the other was as cold as the underworld, exuding the breath of death and destruction.

The two fires, one cold and one hot, one yin and one yang, intertwine and collide to create brilliant sparks.

Although the Red Lotus Karma Fire came with great force, it brought with it endless chill and punishment power.

But under the scorching heat of the Monkey King, a great demon at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and the true fire of the sun that powered his innate spiritual treasure “Cui Guang Liang Yi Lantern”, he was like a rootless duckweed. After struggling for a few breaths, he faded away and turned into a wisp of green smoke that drifted in the air.

“Third brother, what is this?”

Xiao Chen looked at the red lotus fire that dissipated in the air, his heart filled with surprise and confusion.

After all, as far as he could perceive, there was no one else nearby, so where did this red lotus fire come from?

He pondered for a moment, and information about some unusual flames in the three realms emerged in his mind.

In the Three Realms, the Samadhi True Fire can be said to be a kind of inner alchemy fire.

The “Xiuzhen Taiji Hunyuan Zhixuan Tu” points out: The right fire-starting secret requires an inner elixir to start the pure yang energy in the elixir, which is called the true fire. The heart is the king fire, the kidneys are the minister fire, and the bladder is the people fire, which is the Samadhi true fire… When the inner elixir starts the fire, ghosts and gods dare not approach, and water and fire cannot harm it.

The Supreme Lord Laozi also said: “The monkey ate the peaches, drank the imperial wine, and stole the elixir. He ate all my five pots of elixir, some raw and some cooked, and used the ‘Samadhi Fire’ to forge it into one piece. So it has a body of diamond and steel, and cannot be hurt even in a hurry.”

However, the Red Lotus Karma Fire is completely different from the Samadhi True Fire.

It originated from the Red Lotus Hell among the “Eight Cold Hells” in Buddhism. It is characterized by extreme cold, and the bodies of sinners are frozen and cracked like red lotus petals, hence the name “Red Lotus Karma Fire”.

Its essence is the “fire of causal punishment”, also known as the “fire that burns sinners in hell.”

The target of burning of the Red Lotus Karma Fire is those who are entangled in sins. The target of burning is closely related to the weight of the sins. The temperature of the flame is uncertain and increases with the weight of the evil karma.

Yoga Treatise 4 says: “The red lotus Naraka is different from this. After it is green, the color turns red. The skin is split, maybe ten or more. Therefore, this Naraka is called the red lotus.”

The eleventh chapter of Ku She Guang’s Note says: “Botemo, this cloud is a red lotus flower. The severe cold is severe, and the body changes and breaks, like a red lotus flower.”

……

“Jin Hu Duo Duo is just a small gourd fairy. What sin could she have committed?”

Xiao Chen became even more confused.

“Or is there some mysterious force controlling it in secret?”

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen glanced around and was secretly on guard.

at the same time.

Xiao Chen quickly held Jin Hu Duo Duo’s shoulder and comforted her softly:

“Duoduo, take a rest first, your father will heal you.”

As he spoke, he activated the power of the Precious Lotus Lantern to heal Golden Gourd Duoduo.

The Monkey King is known as “The Great Sage of Ventilation”. He is good at listening, able to observe principles, know the past and the future, and understand everything.

Therefore, the Monkey King had dabbled in many of the laws of the Three Realms, whether they were the profound Taoism or the mysterious Buddhism. He was knowledgeable and had a strong memory. It can be said that he practiced both Buddhism and Taoism.

At this time, the Monkey King said solemnly:

“It is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva…”

Xiao Chen frowned when he heard this:

“The leader of the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?”

Xiao Chen was not unfamiliar with the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.

The four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, each of them is a leader in Buddhism.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is located in the underworld, and has a great vow that “I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty.”

In the world of Journey to the West, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the leader of the underworld, stationed in the netherworld and is the supreme leader of the underworld.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva presides over the cycle of life and death and governs the affairs of the underworld.

Whether it is supervising the Ten Kings of Hell to judge the dead souls or maintaining the order of life and death cycle, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva plays a vital role.

The Monkey King spoke slowly, his voice heavy:

“When I was wandering around the underworld in my early years, I heard a piece of news. At that time, I just thought it was a rumor and didn’t know whether it was true or not.”

“But now it seems that it is probably true.”

The Monkey King paused and continued:
“It is said that there are five treasures in the netherworld, namely the Three-Life Stone, the Mirror of Sin, the Soul-Catching Pen, the Book of Life and Death, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”

“The Sansheng Stone can reflect the ghost’s past lives.”

“The Mirror of Sins reflects the good and evil deeds of the deceased soul in his lifetime.”

“The Soul-Catching Pen can capture the souls of the living and mark their lifespans.”

“The Book of Life and Death records the life span, fortune, and cause of death of all living beings.”

“And the six realms of reincarnation determine where the dead souls will be reborn.” “And in the six realms of reincarnation, there is a book called the ‘Six Paths of Reincarnation Book’.”

“The memory fragments of the gods in heaven and the golden-bodied arhats of Buddhism have all been engraved into the ‘Six Paths of Reincarnation Book’. Any non-orthodox Buddhist spying behavior will trigger the automatic backlash mechanism of the Reincarnation Book.”

The Monkey King continued:
“This restriction originates from the causal prohibition set by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the netherworld, which is intended to prevent others from prying into the secrets of the gods and Buddhas.”

“According to the Sutra of the Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, all sentient beings create karma with their every thought and action, and snooping into the memories of gods and Buddhas is an extremely evil act of ‘stealing the secrets of heaven.'”

“The sutra clearly states that ‘the power of karma is so great that it can rival Mount Sumeru, be as deep as the ocean, and can obstruct the path of the saints.'”

“Gods and Buddhas cannot be fathomed.”

“Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can save sentient beings, but cannot forgive the great evil of ‘theft of knowledge and views’.”

“The Sutra of the Karma of Good and Evil points out that unrighteous spying behavior will trigger the ‘angry eyes of the diamond’ counterattack mechanism.”

“Once such a memory is touched, the ‘Karma Fire Lotus Seal’ in the restriction will be activated instantly, releasing karmic fire energy equivalent to a blow from the Arhat’s golden body, directly burning the caster’s eyes.”

“The higher the level of a deity or Buddha’s memory, the more severe the backlash will be.”

“Just now, my niece Duoduo must have seen some memories about the high-level gods in the heavenly court, such as Dou Mu Yuanjun, Sanqing, Four Emperors, Five Elders of the Five Directions… or some other memories related to gods and immortals in the memories of this heavenly soldier.”

“That’s why it caused such a strong backlash.”

After hearing this, Xiao Chen’s mind suddenly became clear.

To put it bluntly, this is an information protection mechanism established by Heaven and Lingshan.

In other words, it is an extremely tight “firewall”.

In its previous life, a firewall was a network security system designed to monitor and control network traffic, deciding whether to allow the transmission of data packets based on predefined security rules – whether to allow it to pass smoothly or to block it from entering.

Its main function is to protect the internal network from external threats, prevent unauthorized access, and establish a security barrier between the corporate network and the Internet.

The same applies to this restriction.

As the rulers of the three realms, the memories of the gods and Buddhas in Heaven and Lingshan are undoubtedly the most precious and sensitive information.

These memories may contain secrets of the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan, foreign strategies, magical secrets, etc. Once leaked to outsiders, they may pose a serious threat to their ruling status and interests.

The memories of the gods in my heaven and the memories of the Buddhas in Lingshan are not something that an outsider like you can see.

The purpose of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva setting up this “firewall” is to protect the memories of these gods and Buddhas from being snooped into and extracted by outsiders.

Heaven and Lingshan have ruled the Three Realms for so many years, and it is not in vain. They have monopolized the top resources of the Three Realms.

The most powerful gods and Buddhas in the three realms gather in Heaven and Lingshan.

They have never lacked strength, wisdom, or means.

Their various mechanisms have long been almost impeccable and without any loopholes.

In the past, Jinhu Duoduo or Yuxiong Wang extracted the memories of wandering ghosts, so naturally no one cared about that.

Because lonely ghosts have no background and no power, their memories are not important to the Heavenly Court and Lingshan, and will not pose a threat to their ruling status.

However, for the gods in the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan system, the situation is completely different.

Their memories involve the secrets and interests of Heaven and Lingshan. Once leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.

If everyone plays like this, snooping into and extracting the memories of gods at will, then what secrets are left of Heaven and Lingshan?

This kind of restriction is to maintain the order and stability of the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan Mountain, to ensure that their secrets are not known to outsiders, and thus to consolidate their ruling position.

“The methods used by Heaven and Lingshan are truly extremely precise, watertight and impeccable…”

When Xiao Chen heard the words of the Monkey King, he couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

He had a deeper understanding of the methods of Heaven and Lingshan.

If the universe is compared to a boundless cage, then all living beings are like birds in the cage whose wings are growing stronger but who cannot fly, or like puppets that are tightly pulled by invisible strings.

All living beings think that they are flying freely in the vast universe, but in fact their every move and every word are under the surveillance of the gods and Buddhas.

Today, the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan are undoubtedly the undisputed rulers and supervisors of this world.

The Heavenly Palace and Lingshan have ruled the Three Realms for so long, sitting at the top of the Three Realms, with top gods and Buddhas gathering there.

The three realms and six paths are all firmly under their control.

How easy is it to break the stubbornness?
……

The battlefield of Guiyu in Liyang, 600 miles away, was filled with smoke and murderous aura.

Tianshangxing, this notorious star general, was completely aroused to his ferocity at this moment, like a violent beast breaking free from its restraints.

Tianshangxing was using the “Beidou Qishang Jin”, completely ignoring the great damage this technique caused to himself. Every punch he threw seemed to be at the cost of his life, and the fists hit Huang Binghu like raindrops, densely packed, unstoppable.

Huang Binghu was on the verge of collapse under the fierce attack like a storm.

Fresh red blood gushed out of his eyes, mouth, nose, ears… like a spring that could not stop, staining his withered yellow tiger skin red, and also dyeing the battlefield blood red.

His originally thin body was now full of holes and looked extremely miserable, as if it could collapse at any time.

“Fourth brother, hold on, I’m here to save you!”

The Black Tiger Demon Lord was extremely anxious and roared, his voice as loud as thunder.

“Fourth brother, hold on, hold on, hold on…”

The Black Tiger Demon Lord shouted over and over again, holding a large sword with the sword flashing. Like an angry tiger, he soared into the sky and headed straight towards the Yellow Sick Tiger, vowing to break through all obstacles and rescue his brother.

However, Tianyong Star, Tianxiong Star, Tianmeng Star, Tianwei Star, Tianying Star… a group of Tiangang Stars tightly trapped the Black Tiger Demon Lord in the formation, like an invisible net, making it difficult for him to escape.

Numerous Tiangang stars either attacked or defended, cooperating with each other tacitly to form an indestructible line of defense.

But the Black Tiger Demon Lord was not afraid at all. He fought hard, exchanging injuries for wounds.

Every swing of the knife was accompanied by an angry roar, and every charge brought him one step closer to the sick yellow tiger and also left him with another wound.

Brothers are blood relatives, connected by blood.

Although Huang Binghu was bleeding from all seven orifices and his eyes were blind, he seemed to feel the approach of the Black Tiger Demon Lord.

The sick yellow tiger spit out with all his might, and a plague pill that was shining with strange light flew out of his mouth and headed straight for the battle group of the Black Tiger Demon Lord.

He wanted to detonate his own plague pill to lend a final helping hand to the Black Tiger Demon Lord.

This natal plague pill is the essence of Huang Binghu’s entire body of illnesses and its poison is so strong that it is enough to corrode bones and destroy the soul.

However, if his natal plague pill were to shatter, he would naturally die and never be able to recover.

But Huang Binghu did not hesitate. He just wanted to use everything he had to help his brother at the last moment of his life.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to drive the natal plague pill.

Under his control, the Life Plague Pill made a crack with a “crack”.

Followed by.

“Rumble” sound.

Near the Tiangang constellation, this natal plague pill exploded, releasing endless poisonous gas.

The poisonous gas spread quickly like fog and smoke, covering the Tianyong Star, Tianxiong Star, Tianmeng Star, Tianwei Star, Tianying Star… and all the Tiangang Stars.

They were caught off guard and immediately panicked. Some of them hurriedly used their internal energy to resist, while others tried to escape from the sea of ​​​​poisonous gas.

However, the poisonous gas came like a tide, surging in and impossible to defend against. Even if they fought hard, they could not avoid being hurt by the poisonous gas.

Huang Binghu had used up his last bit of strength after spitting out his natal plague pill.

Before dying, Huang Binghu’s bloodshot eyes looked in the direction of the Black Tiger Demon Lord, and with his last bit of strength, he said to the Black Tiger Demon Lord:

“Brother… my illness… is finally cured…”

Then, Huang Binghu uttered a few more words with difficulty:
“In the next life, we will still be brothers…”

However, before he could finish his words, the sick yellow tiger’s body turned into hundreds of wisps of black plague gas and drifted away with the wind.
