C862 The Origin of the Ghost Buddha
Speaking of ghost buddhas, ghost buddhas also have a well-known identity.
Legend has it that at the founding of the Underworld, in order to cross the vengeful spirit, Buddhism sent the Kitigarbha Bodhisattva into the Infernal Realm to spread the Buddhist teachings and to cross the souls of thousands.
With the descent of Ksitigarbha, the number of vengeful souls in the Infernal Realm grew fewer and fewer.
To Ksitigarbha, the King of Ksitigarbha, all the ghosts of the Infernal Realm were nothing to be dissatisfied with.
However, one day, a female ghost broke free from the ghost soldiers' restraints and caused a huge ruckus in the Underworld. The ghost soldiers spent a great deal of effort before they managed to subdue the female ghost and send the female ghost to the 18 Hells.
The female ghost cried out in injustice. Her shout shook the heavens, causing thunder to rumble and the earth to shake.
This matter immediately attracted the attention of the Kitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Ksitigarbha's heart, therefore relieved the ghost woman's crime, and brought to a separate place, the ghost woman to talk about Buddhist studies.
At the same time, he also understood that this ghost lady was actually the daughter of a general. But in the end, he encountered a traitor's trap. The traitor had schemed to kill the general, and in order to root him out, he had raped the ghost girl. He had even accused her of adultery, and his morality had been corrupted.
When the Emperor found out about this, he was extremely furious. Thus, the ghost girl's family was exterminated.
After the ghost lady came to the Underworld, she couldn't disperse the resentment in her heart. She wanted to seek out Yama King to declare her wrongdoings. However, the King of Hell only followed the rules of hell, he did not care about the matters of the mortal world.
Thus, a series of events occurred.
When the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva learned of this, he began to speak Buddhist scriptures to the ghost girl, telling her to put down her butcher knife and become a Buddha.
It was said that the Kitigarbha and the ghost girl had chatted for three whole years, and the ghost girl finally let go of the resentment in her heart and was willing to go into the cycle of reincarnation to become a human.
However, at this time, the ghost lady discovered that she had fallen for Ksitigarbha. He even had an affair with him.
After their relationship, Ksitigarbha found out that he broke the rule. As a result, he wholeheartedly went into seclusion, not bothering with the matters of the outside world.
However, at this moment, the female ghost was sent into Samsara, the ghost soldier discovered that she had a child in her womb.
According to the laws of the underworld, once a female ghost became pregnant, the child in her womb had to be removed before it could be reborn, otherwise, it would become a ghost in the next life.
The child was removed, but at the next moment, the ghost soldier discovered that the child's entire body was covered in buddhist patterns.
After the Ksitigarbha King learned about this, he finally understood that this child was his, so he left the child by his side and taught him Buddhism. After the Ghost Buddha became an adult, he arranged for the Ghost Buddha to enter the eighteenth layer of hell so that he could guard the sinful ghosts.
As for him, because of his crimes, he had fallen into the cycle of reincarnation and never appeared again.
The female ghost had been reincarnated, and Ksitigarbha had entered the cycle of reincarnation. On the other hand, the Ghost Buddha felt as if he was released, despite being raised by Ksitigarbha.
In his heart, however, he inherited his mother's resentment and wickedness, and he was taken from her before he could grow. He was incomplete in and of himself.
Now that his father had entered the cycle of reincarnation, the ghost Buddha began his evil path.
The ghost buddha colluded with the evil spirits of the outside world, turned the Underworld upside down, separated the Underworld from the Three Realms, and borrowed the evil spirits of the Underworld's current human world to embark on his path of frenzied conquest.
However, this kind of thing still attracted the attention of all the experts in the Immortal Realm. With the cooperation of the Ten Great Immortal Emperors, they sealed the Underworld under a Sea of Bitterness and beat the group of evil spirits and ghost buddhas back to their original forms, never to see the light of day again.
After Xiao Yun refined all of the memories, his eyes began to slowly open.
"So that's how it is!"
Xiao Yun finally understood the cause and effect of everything.
"Something's wrong …"
Xiao Yun realized that other than these memories, the other memories of the Ghost Buddha actually did not exist at all.
"Could someone have deliberately erased his memories?"
Xiao Yun thought of this possibility.
As he thought of this, he started to search through the Ghost Buddha's memories once again. However, he couldn't find any other memories within the Ghost Buddha's broken soul.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yun felt that something was off, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Xiao Yun, come quickly and look!"
When Xiao Yun thought about this, Little Mei's voice came out from the deck.
"Alright!"
Xiao Yun immediately stood up and walked out.
As he opened the cabin door, he heard the sound of flowing water.
He saw a huge waterfall in front of him. Perhaps in the middle of the waterfall, there was a circular karst cave. Water was flowing in from all directions of the karst cave.
Moreover, the water wouldn't be able to fill it at all.
"This is …"
Xiao Yun looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
"Bottomless Pit?"
Xiao Yun looked towards Little Mei, and Little Mei also looked over.
"This should be the Bottomless Pit. Legend has it that the 18 Hells have led to the Bottomless Pit, and the ghosts that were cast into the 18 Hells have no way of escaping even if they escape."
Little Mei explained.
"But, the Bottomless Pit has another name."
Xiao Yun frowned.
"Another name?"
Xu Qian and the others also looked over.
"Pond of Life!" In the 18 Hells, all the ghosts that performed well were thrown into the Pond of Life. However, since ancient times, no one had ever seen a free pond before. "I think the so-called spawning pool is the bottomless pit."
Xiao Yun said.
"This is the Pond of Life? You don't want us to escape from here, do you? "
Xiao Yue covered his mouth and said, "Is there no other way out? And how did those ghost soldiers and ghosts get down to the eighteen levels of hell? "
"The eighteen levels of hell is a place where outsiders are simply unable to enter. "Therefore, this is our only path. Otherwise, we would only be able to stay in the 18 Hells for the rest of our lives."
Xiao Yun reminded.
"This …"
Xiao Yue was slightly unwilling.1
One had to know that there was no bottom to the Bottomless Pit. Once one fell in, they would continuously fall down.
"Alright, we'll listen to you."
Xiao Rou held her little sister's hand.
"All of you, go back into the cabin. It's best if you don't come out."
Xiao Yun said.
"Alright!"
Hearing this, all the girls walked into the cabin one by one.
After they entered the boat cabin, Xiao Yun controlled the Ship of Other Shore to drop down into the Bottomless Pit. After falling, Xiao Yun increased his speed and made the boat rush downwards.
"I can only give it my all."
Xiao Yun was also risking his life, whether or not it was true, it all depended on his life. After he finished speaking, Xiao Yun also went back into the cabin.
"Boom!"
However, after falling for less than 20 minutes, the boat seemed to have hit the water and frantically sank.
"Crash!"
After sinking for an unknown amount of time, the bottom of the Ship of Other Shore was lifted up by an impact force, and then quickly rushed upwards.
