Chapter 858: Book of Life and Death
"To tell you the truth, that emperor is the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo." In the end, King Yama finally told the truth: "Although on the surface he is temporarily residing in the underworld, we still have to follow his opinions on many important matters. ”
"Your dignified Great Immortal of the Chinese Difu actually surrendered to the Buddha Bodhisattva? You're embarrassed to say it! Xiao Fei said angrily: "Are all your Baizhang Demon Bodies here to see?" ”
"There's no way around it." King Yama said: "We are cultivating the Dharma of the Difu, and he is cultivating the Golden Body of the Buddha, and the strength of several of us is originally one realm lower than him." ”
"You know, a high-realm cultivator can crush a hundred low-realm cultivators." Emperor Song said: "In other words, even if we ten combined, we are not his opponents. ”
"Moreover, the earthly government is different from the heavenly court, the heavenly court is divided into thirty-six heavenly positions, and it is difficult for the bottom heaven to the high heavenly level. However, there is only one Netherworld, and each divine realm occupies a place. King Chu Jiang continued: "The Huaxia Prefecture is just adjacent to the Buddha Realm Hell. ”
"The Heavenly Court Buddha Realm did not send people to station, it was because of the impact. And the Netherworld is a place that has been abandoned by people, and if they shoot the Bodhisattva, they won't have so many scruples. King Yama said.
"To put it simply, the current underworld is equivalent to the Qing Dynasty in the yang world. The temple of the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo is that the Buddha realm has drawn a 'French concession' in the underworld, and he is the consul of the lease? Xiao Fei asked.
"But that's not all." King Chu Jiang said: "The current prefecture is not equivalent to the French Concession, but equivalent to the Hong Kong Island in the past, which has been ceded out. And he is equivalent to the consul general sent by the British to garrison Hong Kong Island. Although the immortals in the underworld are all from Huaxia, they still have to listen to his assignment. ”
"As soon as you say that, I understand." Xiao Fei said: "However, you guys are really incompetent, don't you know how to resist?" ”
"There's no power on there, and we can't help it." King Yama sighed and said, "We are all earth immortals in Huaxia, and we all cultivate the Daomen Immortal Method, who wants to listen to the command of a Bodhisattva of Buddhism?" ”
"If there is no him, he will be the emperor and take care of us. Wouldn't it be comfortable for a few of us to be kings with real power? King Qin Guang said.
"So, we're all looking forward to the day. Heavenly Court can recover all the things of the underworld just like the Huaxia of the Yang World took back Hong Kong Island. Let's let a few Hades really be in charge. King Yama said.
"Yes." Xiao Fei nodded, "I understand your idea of looking forward to being the master of your own house. By the way, where is the shrine of the Consul General of the Buddha Realm? ”
"Just 10,000 miles north of Senluo City, the palace of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva is called Cuiyun Palace." King Yama said.
"I see." Xiao Fei said: "You sent someone to arrest me this time, I could have left halfway, but I still came." For your sake, it's not easy, so I won't make a fuss about the underworld. In this way, in the underworld, you can find out my life history and take me to see it. ”
"Okay, Immortal Please!" The Ten Halls Hades said.
Under the leadership of King Yama, eleven people came to the Senluo Hall together. Eleven? It seems that a football team can be formed, could it be that they are gathered here to play football? Xiao Fei suddenly thought in his heart.
In the middle of the main hall, there was a throne, and Xiao Fei was not polite to them, so he sat on it with a big smile.
"Judge Cui, bring the book of life and death." King Yama said. He is the king of the fifth temple of Hades, and he is also the chief here. The other Nine Halls of Hell are in charge of hell, and their offices are not here.
"Yes." Judge Cui said. He was wearing a red official uniform, a double-eared official hat, and a big belly.
Judge Cui's name is Cui Jue, and he is a person from the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty. It is rumored that he judged the case like a god when he was in the yang world, and after his death, he sat as the judge of the king of Yama, and he was very fair.
There are many legends of Cui Jue's case, among which the story of the case of the evil tiger hurting people is the most widely spread.
The story says: There is a big mountain at the junction of the southwest of Changzi County and Qinshui, called Diaohuangling, and there are often fierce beasts in the past. One day, the woodcutter went up the mountain to chop wood and was eaten by the tiger, and his widowed mother was in pain and went to the court to cry out for injustice.
Cui Jue immediately issued the cards, and sent the official to go up the mountain to detain the tiger with a talisman. The official sent in front of the mountain temple to recite the talisman and offer it to the god, and then a tiger came from behind the temple. With a butterfly in his mouth, he let the officials tie it up.
The evil tiger was detained to the county office, and Jue was immediately promoted to the court. In the hall, Cui Jue counted the sins of the evil tiger hurting people, and the evil tiger nodded again and again. In the end, he sentenced: "The sin of eating human life should not be forgiven." ”
So, the tiger crashed and died on the steps.
After Cui Jue became a judge, once Tang Taizong died and came to the underworld to meet him. Cui Juenian gave Tang Taizong more than ten years of longevity for the sake of their monarchs and ministers.
Not long after, Judge Cui walked into the main hall with the judge's pen in one hand and the book of life and death in the other, and handed it to Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei took it and took a look, only to see that the book of life and death was very thin, as if he couldn't remember anything. So he asked: "We have more than a billion people in China, so many people, this thin book of life and death, can't we keep an end?" ”
"If you memorize them one by one, you can't remember them all in dozens of thick copies, and it's hard to find." Cui Jue said: "But this book of life and death has mana, as long as you write this person's surname, the book of life and death will automatically display the situation of all people with this surname." ”
"It's like using a Xinhua dictionary to look up radicals?" Xiao Fei asked.
"Let's just put it that way." Cui Jue said.
"I think that's also a hassle." Xiao Fei said: "There are many people with the same surname. Don't talk about those with the same surname, I heard that some people in China with the same name and surname have hundreds of thousands. ”
"yes, yes. Every time I want to judge someone, it takes a lot of divine power. No way, there are too many Chinese people. Judge Cui said: "It's a pity that our prefecture can't make such a thing as a computer." ”
"I remember that among the five spirits, there are also hairs, scales, birds, feathers, and kun, and these are also recorded?" Xiao Fei asked.
"People can't finish watching, where can they take care of those insects and beasts?" Judge Cui said: "There are more than a billion people in Huaxia, and if these five categories are also managed, I am afraid that the underworld will not be able to stand it for a long time." ”
"In fact, these five categories are relatively simple to manage." At this time, King Yama spoke: "Among these five categories, only those demon spirits who have cultivated for hundreds of years will be recorded by us. And there are only a few demon spirits in Huaxia. ”
"I see." Xiao Fei said. After speaking, he ignored it, picked up the book of life and death, first sent his surname, and then carefully looked for his name.
