Tong Yan clasped his hands together, chanting Buddhist scriptures all the time, and his legs also tried to step towards the Buddhist hall. This time, he finally didn't hit the wall again, and entered the Buddha hall smoothly.

has entered, naturally there is no need to recite Buddhist scriptures, Tong Yan took a deep breath, and then looked carefully inside.

There are candles lit in this temple, but it is still bright. The layout inside is hardly different from that found in common temples, and if there is any difference, it is that the Buddha statue in the middle is not Shakyamuni Buddha, but Jizo King Bodhisattva. Not only that, but Shakyamuni Buddha is generally a seated statue, but the Buddha statue of this Jizo King Bodhisattva is standing.

I saw that this Buddha statue was carved lifelike, as if it was alive. The gold lacquer cover on the body of the Buddha is embellished with colored lacquer, adding more charm. The Buddha's eyes are half-open and half-closed, as if smiling, holding a Zen staff in his hand, wearing a Pilu hat on his head, and wearing a bright red robe. This appearance is somewhat similar to Tang Seng in Journey to the West. Perhaps Tang Seng's character creation inspiration comes from the Jizo King Bodhisattva.

Tong Yan stared at the Buddha statue, and couldn't tell what it felt in his heart. He thought that he would smash the Buddha statue to pieces in anger, but after he really arrived here, he suddenly had a sense of awe.

After a brief hesitation, he slowly knelt down. It's not that he is guilty of instigation, but he really wants to know why the Jizo King Bodhisattva wants to harm him.

After he knelt on the ground, his hands folded naturally, and then he spoke: "Jizo King Bodhisattva, I am Tong Yan, that is, the person you don't want to let leave the underworld. I don't understand what sin I have committed that you should do this to me. You first crossed out my yang life, and now that I am in the netherworld, you will not let me leave. What is all this for? I don't understand, I really don't. I'm here today to ask you clearly. Even if I really can't get out of the underworld alive, please at least let me die. Please! Saying this, he respectfully kowtowed three times.

After kowtowing, he slowly closed his eyes, hoping to get instructions from King Jizo Bodhisattva.

However, to his disappointment, he felt nothing, heard nothing. The Buddha statue is still a Buddha statue, and he can only kneel here stupidly.

Although he was a little depressed, he was not discouraged. If you want to see a bodhisattva, you can't see it by kowtowing three times.

As the saying goes, sincerity is spirit. He saw this as a sign that his heart was not sincere enough, so he fell to the ground and kowtowed a few more times. Only when the skin on his forehead was broken and bleeding did he stop.

But nothing has changed, and the statue of King Jizo Bodhisattva has not moved at all.

Tong Yan stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his forehead, and then said with a wry smile: "What do you want me to do before you are willing to see me?" You are bent on harming me, and you are my enemy. I'm humble enough, religious enough. But you are still unmoved, do you really want me to die before you are satisfied? King Jizo, I have no grievances with you, and you hurt me for no reason. Today, I came to ask you why, but you chose to avoid it. It's unbearable or unbearable, you deceive people so much. Then don't blame my men for being ruthless! ”

As soon as the words fell, he stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and pulled out the Vajra Demon Pestle, and stepped forward with an arrow step, about to smash the Buddha statue.

At this moment, only a roar of "whoosh" was heard from behind the Buddha statue.

When Tong Yan heard this, he immediately turned around and forcibly withdrew his hand.

"What's screaming here? Get the hell out of here! ”

As soon as he said this, a big snow-white guy immediately staggered out from behind the Buddha statue.

Tong Yan raised his eyes and couldn't help frowning.

"What kind of beast is this? Why have I never seen it? Tong Yan secretly thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to approach this strange beast rashly.

I saw that this strange beast had the head of a white tiger, a sharp horn on its forehead, dog ears, dragon scales all over its body, its tail was somewhat like a lion's tail, and its four legs were the same as the feet of a unicorn.

Tong Yan stared at it for a few moments, and then asked, "What the hell are you?" Why is it here? ”

When the strange beast heard this, he whitened Tong Yan with a pair of big eyes, and then lay down under the long case in front of the Buddha statue, ignoring Tong Yan.

Seeing this, Tong Yan guessed in his heart that this strange beast didn't want him to move the Buddha statue of the Bodhisattva of the Jizo King. But what does it have to do with Jizo King Bodhisattva?

Suddenly, the name of a divine beast appeared in his mind, and this divine beast was Di Ting!

What kind of beast is Truth? Legend has it that it is the mount of the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, the original body of the Di Ting is a white dog, because the Jizo Dharma is based on filial piety, and the dog is loyal, just like the lion of Manjushri shows wisdom, and the white elephant of Puxian shows the great line, and the truth of the earth is loyal to the heart.

This beast is loyal to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and naturally people will not damage the Bodhisattva's Buddha statue. But its sudden appearance is not just to stop Tong Yan from destroying the Buddha statue, right?

Tong Yan thought to himself for a while, and immediately asked again: "You are Di Ting?" You are a divine beast, and you must be able to understand human speech. Let me ask you, where is the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth? Why did he trouble me everywhere and refuse to let me leave this underworld? ”

When he heard this, he yawned and closed his eyes as if he hadn't heard.

Its move made the anger in Tong Yan's heart burn again. It's just that the King of Jizo Bodhisattva himself refuses to show up, and now he even sends mounts to guard the Buddha statue here, is it clear that he is closing the door and letting the dog bully people?

Tong Yan gritted his teeth, and then said fiercely: "Don't think that you are a divine beast, I don't dare to do anything to you." I'm telling you, since I'm here today, I'm ready to die here. If you don't tell me where your master is, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Saying this, he immediately transported the true qi in his body, violently injected it into the Vajra Demon Descending Pestle, and recited the six-character Great Ming Mantra at this time.

I don't know if it was this truth that he noticed the Buddha's light emitted from the vajra demon pestle, or heard Tong Yan recite the Buddhist scriptures that he was more familiar with. Originally, it was dozing off with its eyes closed, but now, its eyes were wide open, and it looked at Tong Yan with doubts.

Immediately afterward, the haughty Di Ting finally spoke.

"You don't have to work in vain, the Bodhisattva won't see you. The Bodhisattva said that the time has not yet come, and we cannot meet. In addition, the reason why bodhisattvas treat you like this is for your own good. As for the reason for this, you will definitely understand it in the future. Now, you can leave. By the way, there is another thing, the Bodhisattva said, let you make good use of this vajra demon pestle in your hand. It can cross you to become a Buddha, and it can also cross you to become a demon! Whether you want to become a Buddha or a demon, it's all up to you. ”

"But? But am I really inseparable from the underworld? ”

Di Ting yawned, and then said with some reluctance: "Whether you can leave the underworld or not depends on yourself." In short, if you are committed to goodness, no one will embarrass you. But if you become a demon with all your heart, this underworld is your shackles! ”

Tong Yan listened to this, and had to say something more. Kedi listened to a big mouth and suddenly spit out a strong wind. The wind was extremely violent, and before Tong Yan could react, he was directly blown out of the temple.

At the same time, he seemed to sense something, and jerked his head to look. At this glance, he was completely stunned. Above the gray sky, he actually saw ......

What do you see? We'll talk about that in the next chapter!
