Chapter 1620 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Talks about Hell (asking for monthly votes at the beginning of the month)
The Udumbara flower immediately attracted the attention of Many Treasures Buddha. As a beginner in the true Great Dao, he could tell at a glance that this flower was not something from the ancient times. However, he stood in front of the flower for a long time and still could not comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao contained in the flower.

This thing really exists, but beyond the reality, there seems to be something else hidden. It is hard to imagine that there is such a great way in a flower. He is very curious, where does this flower come from?

The moonlight will not give him the answer, so you can just guess. The River of Regret is not a river that can be seen or touched. Even the great saint Zhunti accidentally fell into the water and almost wiped out all traces of his existence. If Duobao Buddha keeps thinking about it every day, he may be swept into the River of Regret.

Maitreya Buddha, who has always been very obsessed with something, was not much affected by the Udumbara flower. The flower is quite beautiful. Are there any other questions?
Buddhism emphasizes equality among all living beings. Of course, this is just talk, but at the Ullambana Festival, everyone has the right to appreciate the flowers, regardless of their status.

From the Three Bodhisattvas, Medicine Buddha to Xu Xian and the White Snake, they all saw the Udumbara flower that the moonlight had specially placed in the center.

The higher the realm of this thing, the greater the impact it will receive. The reason why Yue Guang took it out for everyone to see was mainly because she didn't dare to look at it. Now she needed a low-level "sight" to dull the Udumbara flower and make it become dull. Only then could she use the mystery in the flower to comprehend the great Dao again.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas discussed in low voices and selected their favorite flowers.

In the corner, two thin figures were whispering.

"Second brother, your actions just now were really too reckless."

A slightly younger voice sneered, "It's just a few stinky monks killed on the road. Big brother, you are too cautious."

An older voice said, "We have to be careful. This is a sacred mountain."

The young man's voice was extremely arrogant. "So what about Lingshan? Just because people flatter them for a few words, do they really become Buddhas or Bodhisattvas? Can they stop the three-headed, six-armed supernatural powers of you and me?"

This time, the older voice did not refute, and it was obvious that he also believed that his supernatural powers were very powerful, so powerful that even if he could not defeat the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, he could still fight his way out.

The two brothers wanted to say something more when they saw Moonlight Tathagata and his ten disciples walking out of the inner hall. They quickly shut up, hid in the dark, and reduced their presence.

Yue Guang glanced at them stealthily, then calmly led the disciples out of the hall.

Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and other former disciples of the Western religion followed closely behind.

The power of these old disciples was largely suppressed by outsiders such as Yueguang, Duobao Buddha, and the Three Bodhisattvas, but it was still a huge force after all. Duobao Buddha and the Three Bodhisattvas had a slight thought and followed suit.

At once, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas came out of the hall. Moonlight Tathagata stood at the front, while Many Treasures Buddha and Maitreya Buddha lagged behind half a step. They came out of the hall together to welcome a great Bodhisattva who had returned from afar.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
After learning that Yue Guang intended to conquer hell, Dizang wanted to return to Lingshan to explain his thoughts in person.

Patriarch Bodhi knew his wish and went to the underworld in person. From the perspective of great ambition, he took over the hell and let him return to Mount Lingshan.

Reporting on work and listening to sermons are both good ways to do it together.

Ksitigarbha, clad in a moon-white cassock, monk's sandals, and holding six pure bamboo sticks, surveyed the landscape of Mount Lingshan. The familiar scene was gone. Beneath the grand spectacle of thousands of Buddhas paying homage lay an inextricable darkness. Given a choice, he still preferred the atmosphere of the Western Buddhist past. Unfortunately, his say was final, and time could not be reversed. Seeing the moonlight leading the Buddhas to greet him, he quickly clasped his hands in greeting, "Disciple greets the World Honored One!"

Moonlight also gave a very positive evaluation: "The Bodhisattva guards the hell and can be called the first meritorious official of Buddhism."

Maitreya Buddha's group of elders rarely sang a different tune, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also believed that Ksitigarbha had worked hard and made great contributions. When Yue Guang arranged Ksitigarbha's seat on his side, no one said anything strange.

With the arrival of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Ullambana Festival officially begins.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can only listen to the moonlight's preaching when they are well fed and well-drinking. This is a brain-intensive job. If one is starving, the effect of the preaching will definitely be reduced by half.

Yueguang still hoped that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas could gain something from her preaching. Under her order, Kasyapa decorated the venue of the Ullambana Festival in an extremely solemn and majestic manner.

After a few polite words, the Ullambana Festival was officially announced to begin. Various vegetarian dishes were served on the table one after another, and performances by some disciples began. Yue Guang first talked about hell with Dizang.

Strengthening oneself is indeed a good idea, but in her opinion, destroying the enemy physically is more efficient.

Ksitigarbha, who claimed that "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty", supported her idea 100%.

He said, "Reporting to the Buddha, I have gathered 30,000 Buddhist soldiers and 50,000 converted Asuras in the underworld. Currently, we can only maintain unimpeded access to the three layers of hell: Tongue Pulling, Iron Tree, and Knife Mountain. The other five layers of hell, such as the Ice Mountain and Oil Pot, have only occupied the core areas. I am unable to enter the ten layers of hell deep inside."

The hell of the ancient times is somewhat similar to the hell in American comics. Each force has its own hell, and they are all in a large plane, but they are not connected to each other.

There are a large number of wizards in the Yama Palace and Fengdu Mountain who are happy to hear about war. No matter how dirty and filthy hell is, it cannot form a large scale. There is no sin at all under the skull-crushing hammer.

The Buddhist side is not doing well. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could only maintain the balance before, but now all of Rāhu’s power is invested in Buddhism, and it is obvious that he can no longer hold on.

Yue Guang asked in detail about the situations in the other levels of hell, and Dizang told him everything he knew. The atmosphere of the conversation between the two sides was extremely friendly. Maitreya wanted to pull his former junior fellow apprentice aside to reminisce about the past, but he didn't find a chance.

Moonlight didn't act as a riddler. After listening to Dizang's story, he made a promise directly: "After the sermon, I will lead all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to wipe out all the evil in hell in one fell swoop."

This is definitely an exaggeration. Sin cannot be completely eliminated. The devil is rooted in Buddhism. As long as Buddhism is not destroyed, the devil will never disappear.

Dizang was extremely excited. Hell was related to his chance to attain enlightenment. Originally, he could only handle it alone, but now Yueguang was willing to bring a large group of thugs to rush forward. The difficulty of the task was almost non-existent. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Buddha."

"The Bodhisattva has not returned to Mount Lingshan for a long time. Please go and reminisce with your fellow disciples first. Do not rush back to the underworld. In ten days, I will give a lecture in the Great Hall. The Bodhisattva is welcome to come and listen."

Ksitigarbha was very respectful and said, "Yes, disciple, I will take my leave."
