Chapter 1 Unity of Spirit and Flesh
The underworld is completely different from what Ding Yi imagined. There is no obvious light source here, but it is visible, there is no trace of wind and rain, it seems dead silent, but there are countless souls, no temperature, no sense of hot and cold, and most souls are dressed in a well-clothed manner!
According to Ding Yi's understanding, the eighteen levels of hell should be spaces of different levels, and in addition, it should be towering palaces and orderly souls!
But that's not the case. There are a lot of forces here. The so-called Emperor Yan Luo controls less than half of the territory. The Hall of Yama is not one, but dozens. Each one is like a big country, covering a very wide area. It feels like tens of millions of people live in a hall. These Hall of Yama suppress the central area of the underworld and suppress the underworld!
Regarding the eighteenth floor hell, Ding Yi saw the top floor and the bottom floor, he couldn't see it, and he was not interested in it.
This underworld is like the end-of-day dynasty in the human world. The central Yan Luo emperor's strength group did not leave the capital. All parties obeyed the emperor Yama, and there were many people who disobeyed the emperor, but there were also many grass-headed kings who were openly disobedient. Even Ding Yi's partners, Guan Yu, the Han Shouting Hou, Guan Yu, the Song Dynasty Zhaolie Zhongyi, Guan Yunchang, and the Erlongshan (Da Ming Dynasty) Three Realms Demon Subduing Emperor Shenwei, Tianzun Guan Sheng Emperor, is also a big and small grass-headed king Yimu, who controls a very large piece of land. However, Guan Yu has a lofty ambition and his goal is to ascend to the Kingdom of God, and does not want to make trouble with Emperor Yama.
The two forces that openly rebelled were: Marshal Chen holding the Red Book, and the other was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who would never become a Buddha!
The relationship between heaven, underworld, and Buddhism is complicated. You have me and I have you. Therefore, Ksitigarbha clearly rebelled in the underworld, and he was in peace with the Emperor Yama. The real relationship is like two couples who quarreled, fighting at the head of the bed and ending at the end of the bed. This has been like this for thousands of years. There are guys who are withered and evil and rebellious, and the Emperor Yama often drives him to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and let him become a Buddhist disciple. But if he really can't influence him, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will hand it over to the Emperor Yama, and let the other party go to the eighteenth level of hell to experience life, and both parties will get their place.
However, Marshal Chen has unknown origin (this person seems to be Dr. Mao and his gang, from a time and space warship, but it is completely unclear how he entered the underworld to cause trouble). Although he claimed to be a 100,000-yuan flag, he never tried to show up in the central area. He always hooked up with the little ghosts on the periphery of Emperor Yan's power, and at the same time fought with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Marshal Chen said that there is no reason to argue about the struggle for faith. Everything in Buddhism is bullshit. He wants to fight Ksitigarbha, step on Ksitigarbha's head and criticize the other party. Emperor Yan is happy that the two families fight each other and does not interfere much.
Ding Yi was not interested in these things, and even Guan Yu had no status in front of him, and was worth paying attention to it, because he was eager to return to his body. This was just a soul body, and he always felt uneasy, just as uncomfortable as walking on the road without clothes. Although it did not involve life and death, whoever was not comfortable knew.
Moreover, he wanted to go home early, so he went west to look for Ksitigarbha. When he came, he had his contributions, so he had to go home and naturally had to fall on him.
The road is a bit far away. With Ding Yi's flight degree (flying in the underworld is at least five times faster than on the earth, Ding Yi is the soul body, and his body is as light as smoke), it takes less than a week to circle the earth. In just seven days, it took him more than a year to reach the extreme west.
"The True Sutra of Nanhua No Ghosts" makes it clear that the underworld is a world opened up by ancient gods in nothingness with their great power. Many things here are born from thoughts, and all the laws of the world will fail. The area is naturally incredibly vast, far away from the earth!
If someone can unify the underworld, it will be impossible to even be punished by the Heavenly Court. Fortunately, this place is really important. Any force that has done something will be inserted into the underworld!
The ancient witch clan master Houtu transformed into the six realms of reincarnation; the great saint of the demon clan built the eighteen levels of hell; the Taoist built the ten palaces of Yama, which was the opposite of the heavenly court and depended on each other; the Buddhists occupied the West to save all ghosts!
These forces are amazing, and the recognized lord of the underworld, Emperor Yanmora, is not capable of unifying the underworld!
Ding Yi flew west for countless hours. The gold medal was reported for a year and a half. His flight was not allowed to take two weeks even if he flew around the earth. The underworld was really vast and boundless.
During the flight, I saw dozens of towns. The ghostly mouths inside were no different from those of a living person. There were also city wall guards, businessmen, peddlers, and barracks. They were just fertile. They could not see the farmer and they did not know what the economy was like here!
During the long flight, Ding Yiyi was practicing. He had no physical body, his soul body was polished to crystal clear, surrounded by treasure light, dazzling and charming!
While walking, many forces on the ground wanted to catch up and take a look, but were all thrown away and could not walk in front of him. Even when passing Guan Yu's Wu'an Palace, Guan Yu once slashed with a sword light, but never touched him. Both sides were far away at once, but they really didn't know that they were all comrades!
In the far west, there are Buddha lights, lotus flowers, flying sky, dragon elephants, and the Brahma singing elephants that penetrate the hearts of the people are murmured in the ears! From time to time, a ghost walks to the edge of the Buddha light and floats up, his head dissipates, and his whole body is put on his robes automatically. He lifts his lotus platform under his feet, sits down solemnly and chants the Buddha's name!
"Namo Amitabha"
"Namo Amitabha"
There was a sound in my ears, and there was a kind of power to cleanse people's hearts. In addition, with the sound and light effects of the sky, the ghosts wanted to convert to my Buddha from the bottom of their hearts. No wonder these ghosts all smiled and thought they had become Buddhas.
But then again, the underworld is a world of mind images. These ghosts think that they have attained enlightenment. At least in the short moment when they turned ghosts into Buddhas, they have received great joy and freedom. Although this joy and freedom are both illusions given by Ksitigarbha, when they are false, they are also true and false, and they are hidden for a while, just like when the world hides themselves!
Ding Yi's spiritual body was transparent and was not tempted by all, and went straight into the Buddha's light. Unexpectedly, he disappeared as soon as he came into contact with him and left the underworld!
It turns out that all the Buddhist masters, great masters and various relatives will pass through the realm by relying on the gods of Ksitigarbha, and you only need to infect the Buddha's light to be reincarnated and reborn. This is the condition for Ksitigarbha to be able to keep in hell. Although his magic power is so powerful, he cannot cross the boundary. The power of the reincarnated person clearly does not allow Ksitigarbha to control himself.
Generally, ghosts, no matter how much they look like Buddhas, just stay here and become part of Ksitigarbha Buddha kingdom. They are liberation on the surface and are the sons of Buddha. In fact, they are of course very good in normal times, but when Ksitigarbha needs them, they will involuntarily follow Ksitigarbha's ideas, which is just a nourishment for the Buddha kingdom!
Ding Yi returned and just returned to the sun, he rushed into his body directly. The spirit and flesh were united, and his memories seemed to be different. While his mood was a little bit stunning, he felt pretty good, and he was comfortable and satisfied from the inside out.
What is this place?
It is very tall and deep, with four walls tightly fitted, and has a distinct curve, like a house with no windows. On the top of the head, which is seven or eight meters high, is a round opening. On the opening, I don’t know what is the top. There is no light or a little sound in this place.
Silent, silence, loneliness!
It shows desolation!
After returning from time travel this time, he did not use the gold medal in time and space, so he could not establish contact with Dr. Mao. Dr. Mao was still in the Heavenly Court of the Song Dynasty, engaging in an unknown struggle.
It’s useless to think too much, let alone not be able to think of useful things at all. Living in the present is the most important thing.
After adapting simply, Ding Yi realized that the environment was awkward, like a dungeon without wind, and was silent.
But even the most rigorous dungeon cannot be built like this. The materials on the four walls are neither gold nor iron, nor earth nor stone, which makes Ding Yi, who is knowledgeable, begin to be overwhelmed.
While exploring, there was no bed, no table, no dust, so clean that there was nothing but Ding Yi!
Fortunately, although there was no sun, Ding Yi was successful in his practice and said, "There must be light!"
In the darkness, a light object appeared out of thin air, hanging above Ding Yi's head.
Don't get me wrong. Ding Yi now does not have the ability of God, Jehovah, nor the power of the creation in the void. He just summoned the Ziying sword.
Besides, even if Ding Yi has a little ability to light the lights, he will not light them. The air here is thin, and lighting the lights and setting them on is purely because he doesn't die fast enough.
"Go!" Ziying's sword slashed and slashed on the wall.
"Buzz~~~"
The dull sound made Ding a headache, and there was no trace on the wall.
The Ziying Sword was very dissatisfied and stuck it on the wall, polishing it with a squeak, and it seemed to have no effect, so it never stopped!
Ding Yi sat down against the wall, looking up at the sky with his head raised. The material on his head seemed to be wrinkled and soft?!
Unlike the wall, maybe there is a chance!
As soon as the thought was born, the tip of the Ziying Sword flew upwards, and with a slight sound, the object was pushed up a lot, and a faint light came in!
Ding Yi was overjoyed and greeted him: "Go!"
Each man and his sword rushed out of the tiny hole!
Chapter completed!
