Looking at the suave young man in white in front of him, Zhang Luoye couldn't help but frown slightly.
"If there hadn't been a venerable person who claimed to be the envoy of the Bodhisattva and personally brought him to this flower garden, he would not have believed it.
The young man in front of you is the legendary Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
It¡¯s a pity that Cai Wenji was blocked from the flower garden, otherwise we could have asked her.
After a while, the young man in white said:
"What's wrong? Donor Zhang, do you have anything to say?"
As he said this, his eyes that seemed to be able to see through people turned slightly on Zhang Luoye, and then he smiled slightly.
"I'm just taking the liberty to say that I'm just a little surprised. The appearance of the Bodhisattva is very different from that in folklore."
Zhang Luoye said respectfully.
It has to be said that the young man in white was filled with rays of light. Facing him, he could only feel the sound of Sanskrit sounds echoing in his ears, which was very thorough.
"I wonder if Donor Zhang has heard of it? Bodhisattvas have hundreds of appearances. This appearance is the appearance of the poor monk before he became a monk. It can be said to be the appearance of the past. You have a close relationship with the poor monk. You use this appearance. I¡¯m talking to you just to avoid leaking the secret.¡±
Zhang Luoye nodded as if he understood.
"You must be very doubtful about the poor monk summoning you, right?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva changed his voice and asked this.
Zhang Luoye hurriedly said respectfully:
"The Bodhisattva is strategizing, and I hope he can point it out."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said:
"Nothing, I just want to meet you and have a word with you. In addition, there are some things I need to confirm."
Zhang Luoye was slightly startled:
"The confirmed thing refers to!?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and said:
"The secret cannot be leaked. Even so, when I see you, I know that there is no need to confirm. Your growth far exceeds the correct expectations. In this case, when 'that day' comes, you should be able to handle it easily .¡±
However, when Zhang Luoye asked about the meaning of that day, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said again, "Heaven's secret must not be leaked", and then blocked it.
Recalling Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva¡¯s previous actions to Cai Wenji, Zhang Luoye felt relieved. This Bodhisattva did things very casually!
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly said:
"It's about time, you come with me."
Although Zhang Luoye had questions in his mind, it was hard to ask, so he had no choice but to follow Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and float up.
After a while, the two of them arrived at a place similar to a blood pool.
This blood pool is so big that there is no end in sight. In the blood pool, you can see countless ghosts bound by chains. They are struggling in the blood pool and crying bitterly. The scene is extremely tragic.
"This is¡¡¡!?"
Zhang Luoye's eyes flickered, and he could clearly feel a terrifying attraction from the blood pool.
Looking at the blood pool, a trace of pity flashed across Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva¡¯s face:
"This is the core of the eighteenth level of hell, a place called the 'Infinite Blood Pool'. Infinite means uninterrupted and endless. The dead souls who fall into this place have done all the bad things in their lives and are riddled with evil spirits. People. However, God has good intentions. Even people who have done all bad things should be given the opportunity to change themselves instead of suffering in this place for life after life. That¡¯s why the poor monk will stay in this place and try to survive. Get rid of all the resentful souls here."
Zhang Luoye held the opposite opinion:
"But, Bodhisattva, dead souls full of evil are, after all, evildoers from the world of the sun. How can there be an end to the transcendence of space in a place like this? It is a bit foolish to say that it is great kindness and compassion."
"Maybe so."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva remained unmoved and said calmly:
"But the poor monk is practicing the way of Bodhisattva. If you can't even get rid of the resentful souls in front of you, what's the use of practicing the way of Buddhism?"
Zhang Luoye moved his lips, but finally said nothing.
At this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's body was filled with thousands of golden lights, and he was chanting some sutras. He only heard bursts of Sanskrit sounds, filled with auspicious energy. At that moment, the entire blood pool turned out to be like the Western Paradise!
The ghosts in the blood pool didn¡¯t know when they got up. They all stopped screaming and looked up at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva one by one.
With his hands clasped in front of his chest, his face was full of piety, and he even had an expression of happiness and contentment on his face!
¡¡¡¡¡¡.
"This is the flower of the other side, go ahead."
After transcending the ghosts, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took Zhang Luoye back to the flower garden, and asked his subordinates to fetch the other side flower and handed it to Zhang Luoye.
"Thank you Bodhisattva."
Zhang Luoye hurriedly reached out to take it and said thank you.
Afterwards, he followed the Venerable out of the flower garden and met Cai Wenji, who drove the carriage away again.
About a few hours later, the carriage emerged from the Eighteenth Level of Hell and reappeared near Taodu City.
Zhang Luoye got off the carriage and looked back, only to see Cai Wenji on the carriage, with a look of reluctance written on her beautiful face.
"Thank you, Miss Cai, for your help. Otherwise, it would be just a dream to pick the flowers of the other shore with my own strength."
Cai Wenji secretly wiped her tears and said with a fake smile:
"Of course, who do you think I am? I am Cai Wenji! As long as I want to do it, there is nothing I can't do."
Zhang Luoye followed her words and praised her a few words. After all, it was the girl's help that made him so successful.
After the two of them talked for a while, Cai Wenji suddenly felt something in her heart and said to Zhang Luoye:
"Okay, let's stop here. Today, I am very happy. I will play with you again later. You are not allowed to say no."
After saying this, she drove the carriage towards Taodu City. It was not until the carriage disappeared that Zhang Luoye came back to his senses.
At that moment, he didn¡¯t hesitate anymore and went directly to the place agreed with Judge Cui.
There, Judge Cui and Zhong Kui had been waiting for a long time. Looking at the flower from the other side handed over by Zhang Luoye, Zhong Kui took it with trembling hands and his face was filled with gratitude.
After that, Judge Cui cast a spell, and when the scene reappeared in front of his eyes, the three people appeared near the "Dushuo Mountain" in the East China Sea of ??Yangjian. Then Judge Cui shook his token, and the three people disappeared again.
When the eyes adjusted to the sight again, they had already returned to the "Ten Kings Palace" in Yunhe County. The ghost messenger who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly took Zhang Luoye's body and asked the latter to cast a spell to fuse the soul and body back together.
Judge Cui said with a smile:
"Judge Zhong, with the Flower of the Other Side and the Book of Life and Death, I believe that the matter between your sister and Wang Xingming can be perfectly resolved. By then, the marriage will continue for three generations, so you can rest assured."
Zhong Kui sighed:
"This is all the credit of Judge Cui and Zhang Xiaoyou. I will never forget it. In the future, whenever there is something useful for me, even if you two do what you tell me, I will never say 'no'."
¡°Judge Zhong¡¯s words are serious, but I don¡¯t know when Miss Zhong¡¯s wedding banquet will be held?¡±
Zhang Luoye waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Of course the sooner the better, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be within three days. By then, I hope you two will not be stingy and come to my sister's wedding banquet."
Zhong Kui pondered for a moment and said this.
Judge Cui said with a smile:
"Well, I'll just wait and I'll be drunk by then!"
Zhang Luoye then said:
"I'm also waiting for you."
"Okay, let's say goodbye then."
Zhong Kui cupped his hands, and in a flash of light, he disappeared on the spot.
Judge Cui then said goodbye to Zhang Luoye. After Judge Cui disappeared, Zhang Luoye walked towards the inn.
However, less than halfway through, Zhang Luoye suddenly stopped.
I saw that a woman's figure floated looming.
It looks like a ghost, but it exudes a very strange aura, making it unpredictable.
"Where is the monster? Tell me your name quickly!"
With these words, Zhang Luoye pulled out the male and female evil-killing swords from his waist.
The woman shook her head slightly:
"The little girl's name is 'Su Niang'. I don't mean to disturb the immortal master. If I am rude, I hope you will forgive me."
The other party¡¯s polite attitude made Zhang Luoye¡¯s expression soothed:
"Miss Su, right? What do you want from me? Don't tell me, you just passed by occasionally."
"The Immortal Master has a wise eye. The little girl has indeed made a special trip to see the Immortal Master."
Mother Su felt blessed and said softly:
"If the Immortal Master cares about his life, it would be better for him not to get involved in Zhong Kui's affairs."
Zhang Luoye raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"What do you mean by this? What do you mean by pity for life? Also, how do you know what happened between me and Judge Zhong? Who is your true identity?"
While saying this, Zhang Luoye had already rushed out.?, he actually wanted to subdue the woman first, and then try to get the information he wanted to know from her mouth.
However, the woman¡¯s figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the woman¡¯s disappearance, Zhang Luoye was slightly startled at first, and then put on a wry smile:
"Is it a messenger spirit? So the other party's true body is not nearby."
But what did she mean by that?
¡°To pity life, does it mean that life will be in danger?
Most importantly, how did she know about her relationship with Zhong Kui?
Could it be that she has been spying on Zhong Kui?
So she knows everything about her contact with Zhong Kui?
No matter what, the only thing that is certain is that the other party must be familiar with Zhong Kui.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Luoye had no choice but to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and continue walking to the inn.
This trip to the underworld really exhausted him, not only physically, but the worst thing was mentally.
This is normal. The eighteen levels of hell have been known as the underworld since ancient times. Even the most determined people who fall into it may not be able to maintain their sanity for long.
Fortunately, Zhang Luoye has practiced the Celestial Master's Dao technique, and Cai Wenji's carriage has the effect of warding off evil spirits, otherwise even he wouldn't be able to bear it for long.
Despite this, the fatigue was still beyond his endurance. At this moment, he just wanted to go back to the inn and have a good rest.
Seeing the person whom Risi had dreamed of appear, Ruan Xiaoxie and Qiao Qiurong could not help but be filled with joy, and they hurriedly served Zhang Luoye to bed.
Zhang Luoye was too tired to care about the so-called intimacy between men and women, so he went to bed to rest under the service of the two women.
¡¡¡¡¡¡.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Considering that Zhong Li¡¯s wedding banquet is in three days, Zhang Luoye plans to go to Yizhuang in the next few days to see if Uncle Jiu has returned.
So after warning Ruan Xiaoxie and Qiao Qiurong a few words, he left the inn, hailed a carriage, and rode to Yizhuang.
When he came to Yizhuang, he found that Liang Qiusheng and Wu Wencai were both there, but they both looked tired and disappointed. After some questioning, he found out that it was Jiang Bulang who had been engaged to Tao Wangsan for his daughter. , the wedding banquet will be in seven days.
Zhang Luoye couldn¡¯t help but comforted and said:
"You two, the matter has come to this, no matter how sad or sad it is, it won't help."
Liang Qiusheng shook his head and said:
"Brother Zhang, you don't understand. It would be better if you just marry the person you like. The problem is, after knowing this, I tried to ask Miss Jiang how she feels about me, and I found out that she has always treated me Treat her like an elder brother! At that time, I really felt heartbroken! But after a few days of careful consideration, I have calmed down. Since she treats me as an elder brother, I sincerely wish her happiness."
But Wu Wencai almost cried and said:
"Brother, how can you be sad? I am even more depressed. The woman told me personally that she looked at me like she was performing a magic trick! I love her so much, but she regarded me as a magician. My Heart."
Zhang Luoye was speechless and couldn't say anything.
After a long time, Liang Qiusheng said:
"This is not the place to talk. Please follow me and sit inside."
Zhang Luoye nodded and followed the two of them into Yi Zhuang. In front of them was a large courtyard surrounded by halls.
From a distance, you can see the coffins parked inside the unclosed doors. There are many family members, half-kneeling on the futon in mourning, burning paper money and sobbing softly.
Occasionally a gloomy wind blows, and the cold air is so cold that it makes people feel chilly. The gloomy air is so thick that it can be seen on the railings, doors and windows, and even on the leaves of the vegetation planted in the courtyard. of rain, dew and frost.
After all, it is a place where the dead are parked. This situation is normal.
However, when walking through the courtyard, Zhang Luoye noticed a figure half kneeling on the ground. It was a little boy in his teens.
Staring in the direction of the hall, his face was full of determination.
Zhang Luoye¡¯s heart moved and he pretended to ask casually:
"Brother Liang, why can't this person kneel here?"
Liang Qiusheng glanced at it and said:
"His name is 'Jia Yan'. According to him, his mother encountered a fox spirit and wanted our master to help eliminate the monster, but the master was far away. We told him this, and he begged us. Teach him some Taoism so that he can get rid of the demon himself. But Brother Zhang, you also know that our sect is very strict, how can we teach it so casually?road? When he saw this, he knelt down here and tried to get us to change our minds for several days. We couldn't bear to see him, but the rules were like this and there was nothing we could do. "
"Have you tried telling your master about this?"
Zhang Luoye asked after thinking for a while.
Wu Wencai on the side answered:
"Brother Zhang, of course we told the master about this matter. But the master said that this person has no master-disciple relationship with him. Moreover, this is the fate of this person, so we cannot interfere."
"oh."
Zhang Luoye couldn't help but take another look at Jia Yan. Indeed, as his uncle Mao Xiaojiu said, Jia Yan's Yintang turned black and was destined to suffer a bloody disaster, but the great fortune in the seal was a sign of great fortune after the disaster. Of course, the premise was that he could be safe. Survive this bloody disaster.
With these words, the three of them had arrived in the hall. After Liang Qiusheng poured a cup of tea for Zhang Luoye, he asked:
"But I don't know why Brother Zhang is here? Master said, let us try our best to help you."
"It's not that important. Your master hasn't come back yet?"
"Master? I'm sorry, the master hasn't come back yet. If Brother Zhang comes to find the master, I'm afraid his trip will be in vain."
"is that so?"
Zhang Luoye couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment on his face. With Mao Xiaojiu's ability, the matter of corpse transformation has not been solved yet. It seems to be extremely difficult. In this case, I really don't know if he can come back in the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey.
It seems that after Zhong Li¡¯s incident, he can make a trip in person, Zhang Luoye couldn¡¯t help but think in his mind.
After leaving Yizhuang, Zhang Luoye first went back to the inn to rest. When there was still some time before the sun set, he hurried back to the vicinity of Yizhuang and looked at the door of Yizhuang across a street.
Sure enough, after a while, Jia Yan hurried out and hurried home. His mother was deceived by the vixen every night, so he knelt outside during the day and rushed home at night to protect his mother.
Just when he turned into a back alley, he was stopped by a white-haired young man. Jia Yan looked at him as a stranger and couldn't help but asked doubtfully:
¡°Who are you and what¡¯s the matter?¡±
Zhang Luoye smiled and said:
"My surname is Zhang and my given name is Luo Ye. I saw you kneeling in Yizhuang, but you were not squinting at that time, so you couldn't see me. I learned about you from Brother Liang. I heard that your mother was killed by a fox. I¡¯m confused, I wonder if this is the case?¡±
Although Jia Yan was confused, after looking at the sky, he said urgently:
"Since you know, don't stop me. I want to rush back to my mother immediately."
Zhang Luoye said:
"Don't worry, little brother. I have learned some rudimentary Taoism, and I am considered a Taoist. Naturally, I take it as my duty to subjugate demons. Maybe I can help you with your mother being deceived by the vixen."
Jia Yan looked Zhang Luoye up and down, a look of disbelief flashed on his face. After all, Zhang Luoye was too young, and he was not much older than himself.
But the current situation did not allow him to think too much. Since the other party said so, there might be something special about him. He nodded immediately and walked towards Jia's house with Zhang Luoye.
On the way, Zhang Luoye asked about the vixen, and Jia Yan didn't hesitate much and murmured.
It turns out that the ancestors of the Jia family were originally from Hanyang Prefecture, Hubei Province. When it came to Grandpa Jia Yan¡¯s generation, the country was in turmoil at the time, so he had no choice but to move here.
By the time of Jia Yan's father's generation, the war had basically stopped. Since most of his ancestors' properties were in Hanyang Prefecture, Hubei Province, Jia's father traveled between the county and Hubei all year round, and the Jia family lived here.
Since Jia's father is not at home all year round, there are only Jia Yan and Jia Yan's mother in the family, plus an old woman who cooks and several maids.
It was a month ago that I discovered that my mother was bewitched by a vixen. At that time, my mother was living alone. One night, she dreamed of having sex with someone. She was startled and woke up. When she touched the bedside, she discovered that it was a little man. man!
The man¡¯s demeanor was different from that of ordinary people. At first glance, he looked like he had been transformed into a fox spirit. Not long after, when the sky was bright, the fox spirit got out of bed and disappeared without opening the door.
Mother Jia was very scared, so she called Jia Yan, the old woman and the maids to sleep together that night.
In the dead of night, Jia Mu suddenly murmured to herself, very loudly, with sounds of panic, moans, and pleading.
Everyone who was sleeping with him was awakened. When he lit the lamp and took a look, he saw a figure suddenly flashing past. From then on, Jia Mu became in a trance, half conscious and half awake.
Jia Yan and others felt extremely regretful. On the second night, they insisted on not sleeping and only dozed off for a while. Who?When I woke up suddenly, I found that Jia Mu was missing!
At first, everyone thought she was just going to have sex and didn¡¯t care much. But after waiting for a long time and not seeing her come back, they realized that something had happened!
" He wanted to look for it, but was afraid of the monsters, so only Jia Yan had the courage to look for it with a lantern.
After searching for a long time, Jia Yan finally found Jia Mu in a certain wing. She was lying naked on the ground. She was not shy when meeting people. She was jumping up and down and singing songs, as if she had found a demon. Same.
After that, Jia¡¯s mother¡¯s condition became more and more serious, and she became even more crazy at times. She talked nonsense every day, and even refused to let anyone else sleep with her at night, and even kicked the old lady out.
Jia Yan was very worried, so she stood guard outside the door one night. Suddenly she heard her mother's laughter coming from inside. Confused, Jia Yan opened the door and lit a lamp and went in.
Who would have known that Jia Mu was lying naked on the bed, pointing at him with disheveled hair, yelling at him, and pushing him out with force. Jia Yan refused, fearing that there was a vixen hiding in the room that could confuse her mother.
When Jia Mu saw Jia Yan refusing to leave, she bit him. Jia Yan was in pain and could not bite him, so she had to leave the door.
After that, Jia Yan accidentally heard the name of Uncle Jiu and knew that he had great ability to eliminate demons, so he went there in person, and the next scene happened.
Zhang Luoye pondered for a moment and said:
"According to what you said, your grandma was indeed fascinated by the fox spirit. As for becoming so crazy, I am afraid that the fox spirit took away the soul and spirit. However, fortunately, it did not last long. If you want to become so crazy, If it takes a year and a half, I'm afraid your soul and spirit will never be recovered."
Jia Yan saw that Zhang Luoye was speaking eloquently and had no doubts in his mind. He couldn't help but kneel down to Zhang Luoye:
"Immortal Master, I am a human being who cannot judge the identity of the Immortal Master at first glance. I have offended you so much. I hope the Immortal Master can forgive me. I would like to ask the Immortal Master to save my mother's life. Even if I am a cow and a horse, I will repay the Immortal Master." A great favor.¡±
Zhang Luoye looked in the direction of Jia Yan and stretched out his hand. Jia Yan only felt a soft force lifting him up:
"Little brother, please don't be so generous. This is the fate between you and me. The specific reason will be explained to you the next day. As for the royal family, I have made up my mind to do my best, so don't worry."
"Thank you, Master Immortal."
Jia Yan bowed deeply after hearing this, his face full of joy and sorrow.
At this moment, the two of them had arrived in front of the Jia Mansion. Zhang Luoye looked around and found that the mansion was not big, but according to what Jia Yan said, there was only an old woman who cooked and a few maids, but it seemed a bit small. Big.
