Chapter 92: Under Hell
Everyone knows that there are eighteen layers of hell in the underworld, but they mistakenly think that there are eighteen layers of hell.
In fact, the eighteenth layer of hell does not refer to the layers of hell up to the eighteenth layer, hell is not divided into levels, but is described by time, degree of suffering, and size of the area, but the world misunderstands, the hell that never transcends life is collectively referred to as the infernal hell, which means that there is no interruption in suffering, there is no rest for a second, and eternal suffering.
The Infernal Hell was originally guarded by the Bodhisattva King of the Earth, but now for 10,000 years, there have been no evil ghosts who have been beaten into the Infernal Hell, and the greatest punishment for those immortals, demons, humans and beasts who have done evil in their lives is only to be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell.
Those who are sent to the eighteen levels of hell will have a full sentence term, and the Infernal Hell is a prison of eternal suffering.
King Jizo Bodhisattva once made a grand wish in front of the Buddha, saying: All sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven, and hell is not empty, and he vows not to become a Buddha.
Therefore, King Jizo has always been a bodhisattva, and he does not want to become a Buddha until the hell is empty. It is precisely because of this that the Buddha of the present generation and the king of Hades have set up a plan not to imprison the prisoners in the infernal hell, and to make the illusion that 'the hell is empty', that is, they want the king of Jizo to cultivate the Buddha body and rule the current Buddha realm.
How could the king of Jizo be a child, and such a childish trick of the Buddha and the king of Yama in later generations not only did not deceive the king of Jizo, but also disgusted the king of Jizo, disgusted that they did not hesitate to ignore the rules and tamper with the law in order to achieve their goals, which is simply nonsense!
In later generations, the Buddha already had a utilitarian heart in his heart, so how could he still have Buddha nature? The king of Hades also started to do the same thing, which made the king of Jizo feel cold.
However, the king of Jizo still sits in the Infernal Hell. Even if he walked the human world to cross sentient beings, he would let Di Ting stay in the Infernal Hell to prevent outsiders from entering.
Back then, Tang Taizong once asked the judge: Where are the eighteen layers of hell?
The judge replied:
The Hanging Prison, the Secluded Prison, and the Fire Pit Prison, are lonely and lonely, troubled and troubled, all of which are all caused by a thousand karma in life, and are condemned after death.
Drunken prison, tongue pulling prison, skinning prison, crying and crying, miserable, just because of disloyalty and filial piety hurt the principles of heaven, the heart of the Buddha and the snake fell into this door.
Grinding the prison, smashing the prison, crashing the car, opening the flesh, wiping the mouth and consulting the teeth, it is to conceal one's own injustice, and to use clever words and tricks to harm others.
The cold ice prison, the shelling prison, the intestinal prison, the dirty face, the frowning eyes, are all big buckets and small scales to deceive stupidity, causing the disaster to affect itself.
Oil Pot Prison, Dark Prison, and Daoshan Prison, trembling, sad and sad, all because of ** bullying the good, hiding their heads and shrinking their necks and bitter words.
Blood Pool Prison, Ah Nose Prison, and Weighing Pole Prison, peeling off skin and revealing bones, breaking arms and tendons, only to make money and kill people, slaughtering animals, falling for thousands of years is difficult to explain, sinking forever and never turning over.
After hearing this, Tang Taizong was shocked in his heart.
It is precisely in life that we should not deceive our hearts, and who will be let go by gods and ghosts? Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and we only strive to come early and late.
In the past, there were ten halls of Hades, but now there is only one Hades Hall left. And the eighteenth layer of hell and the infernal hell, as well as the Nai He Bridge, Meng Po Pavilion, Lechuan River and Sansheng Stone have not changed. The most unchanged thing is the flower on the other side, even if the Three Realms suffered a catastrophe 10,000 years ago, it still blooms.
At this time, the monkey's hidden form had come to the eighteenth layer of hell.
Even though the king of Yama disappeared, the onicha who was guarding in front of the hell still didn't dare to slack off. The prison is full of evil spirits, and if these vicious ghosts are released, it will be a great disaster.
In hell, the demons wail and listen harshly. The monkey was bent on finding the treasure of reincarnation, so he didn't stop and flew straight to hell.
Underneath the hell is a space that belongs to nothingness.
There is no light, no lawlessness, no life, and no ghostly spirit. It is the only void in the Three Realms.
The gods in the sky, the demons of the ten lands, no one dares to set foot here. Back then, a bold evil ghost was chased here by the ghost, and after entering, he didn't come back, as if evaporating, and even the name on the life and death book disappeared. In such a strange and treacherous place, no one dares to boldly enter it.
However, according to King Jizo, before the great catastrophe 10,000 years ago, the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva came here, and then only the Buddha returned, but Guanyin never returned.
Seeing that Guanyin had not returned, the Buddha asked the Buddha where the Bodhisattva was, and the Buddha said, "I can see the Bodhisattva tomorrow." "And when the 'tomorrow' catastrophe came, not only did the Bodhisattva not return, but all the gods and Buddhas of the heavens also perished, and the Buddha also left only a broken Dharma body to protect the land of the earth, protect some living beings, so that all things in the Three Realms can reproduce and continue.
When Sun Wukong learned of these things, he felt that the treasure of reincarnation was inextricably linked with the catastrophe of Hongmeng, the disappearance of the Bodhisattva, the fall of the gods, and the continuation of the Three Realms.
The monkey had now shuttled to the edge of the dark place, and there was no light in front of him, it was complete darkness. Take one more step and you're in the middle of it.
The monkey suddenly felt a little sad, looking back at the way he came, recalling the bits and pieces of the past few years, Liu Xingyan, Tang Xuansong, Night Quicksand, Xiao Eleven, Bailong, Tong'er, Qing Shui, Yan Chixia, Shan Changting, Mo Yu and so on flashed in his mind.
In the red dust of the past, bittersweet and happy. He can't forget these people he met 10,000 years later, and he misses the old people 10,000 years ago.
10,000 years seemed like a blink of an eye to him. He has been asleep for 10,000 years, and the changes in the Three Realms have been vicissitudes.
The monkey knows that if he steps into it, he may disappear forever, and if he is lucky enough to find the treasure of reincarnation and return to the past, if what Mo Tong said is true, then these partners will no longer exist after 10,000 years.
"Can you help me?" the monkey turned his mind as if talking to himself, as if asking for help.
At this time, the mysterious voice that had been indulged for a long time sounded in the monkey's mind again: "If you go in, then you will become 'nothing' like me, my hundred-year covenant with the demon god has not yet arrived, and the bet has not been fulfilled, but you are going to leave early?"
"Since you can communicate with me, it's not 'nothing'. Actually, I've always doubted your identity, are you a six-eared macaque?" Sun Wukong asked.
A mysterious voice said: "Back then, the Buddha did not pass on the six ears in a word, so he wiped out the six ears in the void. Now, the Buddha has also fallen, and the gods are gone. It doesn't matter if I'm a six-eared macaque or not. Because, now I can only rely on you to live in the endless void. If you die, I live, and if you live, I can only exist in the void. ”
"Are you really a six-eared macaque? If you are a six-eared macaque, then Lan Ruo World was created by you?" Although Sun Wukong had predicted it earlier, he was still very excited at this time.
A mysterious voice said: "When you were asleep, it was I who guided my grandmother to create the Lanruo World and form the Lanruo Demon City. Because I don't want to live in the dark all the time, I want to have my own world, but my power is too small, and it is a fool's dream to create a world that I dominate. ”
In this way, he has already tacitly accepted his identity as a six-eared macaque.
The monkey's nervousness slowly calmed down and said, "At this time, you don't need to hide anything from me anymore. Since you are still alive, you must know what I don't know. ”
"If I tell you the truth, you will enter the dark place before you without hesitation. But if I don't, you'll hesitate. You live, I die, I live, you die. But if you go into the dark place, we will all die. This is a dead end, and its purpose is to make you die, or to make you and me disappear and the demon god. It's a vicious scheme, it's really a headache. Forget it, let's bet on whether we can find the Reincarnation Treasure before we fall in the dark, as long as we find the Reincarnation Treasure, we will not die!"
The monkey listened to the sound of the six-eared macaque, scratched his ears and cheeks, and hummed: "Speaking of which, you still have to go in and give it a try, long-winded!"
He leaped into the air and plunged into the endless darkness.
