But as soon as he took the step up, he fell back again.

Because in front of him, a monk in black clothes and bare feet appeared!

This monk has a bald head like the moon, a compassionate face, a precious body, and warm eyes.

All the monks raised their palms and saluted: "Honored Bodhisattva!"

[True Ksitigarbha] It is true that he has the dignity of the Buddha and the power of the Buddha, but he swears that "until hell is empty, you will not become a Buddha", so it is also called a Bodhisattva.

At the same time, this monk in black clothes and bare feet also appeared at the gate of Qifei Palace, standing in front of the threshold.

Turning his back on Wang Yang Xuance, who is equal to others, he faced Qin Zhizhen.

"Donor." [True Ksitigarbha] lowered his eyes and said, "Just come here."

The voice is of course gentle and the attitude is of course persuasive.

But Qin Zhizhen could not make any progress.

How come Zhenhou has already communicated with [True Ksitigarbha], Qin State, the priest of Hades, is also willing to supplement, and Qin State is also willing to support Ksitigarbha's great wish... Just like the old practice of Jiang Wang and Yin Guan killing Yama earlier, [True Ksitigarbha] is still

Show up and take action?

Qin Zhizhen couldn't understand it, but he wouldn't be so arrogant that he would be rude to Detachment.

He put his palms together and said, "Junior, I have seen Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

"The great wish of the Bodhisattva shines all over the world, and the younger generation sincerely respects it. Now that I have arrived in the underworld, I am willing to contribute to this wish. I don't see the Bodhisattva in front of the door, but this heart is blocked by the heart of respect..."

This proud man representing the Great Qin Empire asked respectfully: "I don't know what the Bodhisattva means. Can you explain it clearly?"

【True Ksitigarbha】rarely communicates face to face with people, and at this moment he slowly deduces his wishes into words: "The treasures of heaven and earth, all things are natural. In the underworld, I will not seize power, everyone can take it for themselves. But the Palace of Yama

... No one is allowed to come."

Also dressed in black, Qin Zhizhen’s black clothes are as iron-like as armor, and the black monk’s clothes of [True Ksitigarbha] represent the long night of this netherworld.

Qin Zhizhen was silent for a moment: "What do you mean by 'no one is allowed to come'..."

[True Ksitigarbha] said: "The ten halls of Yama will be realized through merit and deeds from now on. All vacancies will not be arranged by you."

It is not a rare thing to confer meritorious deeds on gods. It has been done for a long time in the age of mythology. Today, the Zhanghua Terrace in Chu State and the conferential gods platform in the demon world are also based on merit and are essentially the same.

But although these words were spoken to Qin Zhizhen, they also spread to the ears of all outsiders in the Netherworld——

【True Ksitigarbha】comes forward to set the rules!

As an extremely pure transcendent being, the embodiment of the World Honored One's great wish to save suffering in the underworld, many people are trying to understand... what kind of existence [True Ksitigarbha] is.

Everyone knows that he is pure and selfless, similar to Taoist Master Taixu.

But the transcendent is the transcendent. How can there be such a narrow and simple definition? There are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no transcendent who can be completely treated equally!

They should each possess unimaginable power, transcending all rules.

Everyone knows that Ksitigarbha today has no other aspirations than the desire to save suffering. But how can this great wish be realized?

After Qin Zhizhen thought carefully, he carefully considered every word and said: "How could Qin not obey the Bodhisattva's decree?"

The ghosts and soldiers belonging to him in the underworld suddenly turned into dark clouds and rolled away. The Palace of Yama, which had been dark and oppressive just now, suddenly seemed empty.

Jiang Wang dissuaded [True Ksitigarbha] and ordered Yin Guan to kill King Chakravartin. Xu Wan communicated with [True Ksitigarbha] and asked Qin Zhizhen to kill King Yama.

In a sense, this forms a test of "True Ksitigarbha".

The process of understanding [True Ksitigarbha] is also like re-understanding the world.

After understanding the world, it is nothing more than transforming it or adapting to it.

Now [True Ksitigarbha] gave His reaction, Qin Zhizhen chose to "adapt".

He said cautiously: "This Jiulun Palace... I will leave immediately."

The body of the Emperor Yama stood up and left his seat, letting go of his priestly duties, but sat back down the next moment!

Shen Yi's eyes, which were originally like rocks, were completely the embodiment of Qin Zhizhen's will. At this moment, they were filled with the radiance of divinity.

Qin Zhizhen's expression suddenly changed: "Honored Bodhisattva! What does this mean?"

[True Ksitigarbha] looked at him calmly: "There is nothing wrong with the Lord of Yama in the Five Palaces and the Son of Heaven of Yama sitting in the Jiulun Palace. Once they have come, let them be at ease."

He wanted to leave the body of Emperor Yama in Jiulun Palace!

Today Qin Zhizhen killed King Yama, disemboweled the throne of King Yama of the Five Palaces, and took charge of the priesthood of Hades. The True Ksitigarbha also had a reason to keep the body of Emperor Yama.

Qin Zhizhen fully believes that with his current status and strength, Qin will fight for him under any circumstances.

But as a member of the Qin State, he must think about whether it is worth it for his body as the Son of Heaven to have a direct conflict with the "True Ksitigarbha" before officially opening up the underworld?

After a moment of silence, Qin Zhizhen said: "May I ask how many seats are left vacant in this Yama Palace?"

He asked the key!

[True Ksitigarbha] is not an existence that can communicate like ordinary people.

All his actions are based on the premise of realizing his "ambition of saving all sentient beings in the underworld".

Generally speaking, the conditions it proposes are like established rules and cannot be changed unless they can be replaced with conditions more conducive to its ambitions.

【True Ksitigarbha】previously said that all vacancies in Yama Palace are confirmed by merit and cannot be arranged by anyone.

As soon as he turned around, he arranged for Emperor Yama to stay in Jiulun Palace.

Qin Zhizhen asked about the reason for this arrangement.

If you know the rules, you can follow the path.

The monk in black paused for a moment and said slowly: "I am giving you the answer."

…

While waiting in Mingchen Palace, Jiang Wang had actually been thinking.

The compassion shown by the World-Honored One before his death became the great wish of the True Ksitigarbha. This wish has been spread throughout the world.

Everyone knows the importance of Yama Palace.

But the so-called priesthood of Hades, the Ten Palaces of Yama, withered away in an instant, leaving only the King of Equality at the level of a true god.

From the perspective of the ambition of "swearing to save all ghosts, gods and sentient beings from suffering", the Yama Palace, as a tool to realize the ambition, not only does not become stronger, but becomes weaker and weaker, as if it is getting further and further away from the great ideal.

So is [True Ksitigarbha] really inferior to [Exercising Ksitigarbha]?

Are selfless people inferior to selfish people?

Now he has the answer.

Because [True Ksitigarbha] was standing in front of him. This is a description of the answer.

[True Ksitigarbha], which represents the supreme ambition in the underworld, is more than just a collection of rules.

In a sense, he is similar to Taoist Taixu, but unlike Taoist Taixu, he actively let go of himself at the beginning of his ascension and was restricted by all aspects.

Judging from Jiang Wang's current understanding, [True Ksitigarbha] can be regarded as a detached person who has some of the thinking abilities of the World Honored One, but all his thinking only serves to "save all sentient beings in the suffering world."

His timing was perfect, and His will revealed here could not be rejected.

The sandalwood used to offer sacrifices to Xu Fang has been burned out, and there is no light in the Mingchen Palace.

The monk in black stepped barefoot on the dark floor tiles: "King Chakravartin is dead and Yama is absent. The donor promised me a future...I have not seen it."

All the monks said: "Why does the Bodhisattva teach me?"

[True Ksitigarbha] said: "I have heard that in the land of extreme evil, there are flowers of bliss. If a donor can teach an extremely evil bird and make it take on the duty of rescuing suffering and taking on the role of the netherworld... what a great kindness!"

It turned out that he had fallen in love with Yan Xiao.

All the monks said: "Good!"

The hundred-pinned monk's robes fluttered gently, and a tailless swallow flew out from under the clothes. Before it understood what happened, it transformed into a tall man with the head of a bird and human body, and sat on the big chair of Yama! It subconsciously wanted to do something for him.

The master hissed, then stopped when he saw the black-robed monk. In the end, he just twisted his neck, wishing he could retract himself into his wings.

"In the past, when he died, I thought he had no intention of rescuing suffering." The monk said respectfully, "Now Yan Xiao has been appointed as King of Bian City and has been governed by the Bodhisattva. This is his blessing and relieves my worries.

!”

The Mingchen Palace suddenly became brilliant, and the divine brilliance instantly covered the Yan Xiao, washing its evil and chaotic eyes into brilliant gold like the scorching sun.

At this moment, Jiang Wang could see thousands of miles of the underworld in an instant, and his field of vision was still expanding rapidly! His eyes, which were already extremely powerful, became more divine and could see the subtleties of ghosts. This is the priesthood of the underworld, and he has mastered it.

, let him ask for it.

I think Qin Zhizhen had the same feeling when he met the priests of Jiulun Palace. Earlier when Yin Guan killed King Chakravartin and blocked the door, they had not the slightest contamination with the priests of Hades. There is something wonderful about it, unlike

other.

But the black-clothed monk did not just leave, but continued to look at the monks: "The city king left, the official king fled, and Yama and Luo were both missing. It is also your fault... Why can't there be retribution for the previous causes?"

This is debt collection!

The monk turned his head and saw a ray of green light appearing in front of him.

Yin Guan, with long hair hanging down to his heels, met his eyes, projecting the same question——
