Journey to the West: Reverse Buddha

Chapter 30 Mysterious Cave
Ghost fog filled the air, the wind was blowing, and the back-yin mountain was shrouded in a dead air.

Jisheng looked at it for a long time, and thought in his heart: This ghost's memory shows that he actually doesn't know how to catch Yinlings at all. When he heard Yinlings, he didn't care about 21, so he brought Jisheng to catch them. Fireflies are as easy, as long as they are drawn out, they can be caught.

However, Ji Sheng didn't think so. If it were really that simple, then there would be countless people who would get rich.

It should be that those high-ranking and powerful people have the method of catching ghosts, but it must be extremely complicated and difficult, otherwise the ghosts all over the mountain would have been caught.

However, Ji Sheng still had a wrong idea. It wasn't that the method of arrest was difficult, but that it was really troublesome to lure out this ghost.It likes the unique heat of yang, but hell is a place of extreme yin, where can there be any yang?Moreover, the bodies of these Yin spirits are erratic, and they are usually hidden in the wind, in the earth, and in the mist.It is impossible to find it at all, only one or two sneak out occasionally, but it is also in the depths of the Yin Mountain.

Although Jisheng murmured in his heart, he was here, and he had to give it a try.

"Besides, the yang energy I radiate can attract yin spirits, so I can catch one or two." Ji Sheng thought as he walked towards Beiyin Mountain.

Jisheng was walking on the mountain path, hearing evil ghosts shouting in his ears, and the gusts of cold wind made people feel chilly.Among the thorn bushes beside the road, there are countless vicious ghosts and monsters hiding and dormant inside.He stared at Jisheng intently, as if he was waiting for something.

Ji Sheng immediately summoned all sentient beings' bowls, and bursts of faint golden light suddenly appeared on his body, but he was not afraid of these monsters peeping in the dark.

Ji Sheng didn't immediately release the yang energy to radiate heat to gather the Yin spirits, otherwise the surrounding densely packed, floating swarms of Yin spirits would be too ostentatious in this dark and gloomy mountain.If one is not good and happens to run into a passing judge or other regional staff, Jisheng doesn't think he will end up well if he is in their hands.

Jisheng immediately decided to find a hidden place in Beiyin Mountain to recruit the ghosts, but he didn't know where to go, so he just walked aimlessly on Beiyin Mountain.

Jisheng looked around, and he didn't know how long he had walked, but he saw ghosts around him, the black fog was getting thicker and thicker around him, and the air was overwhelming, he must have come to the depths of the Back-Yin Mountain.

Ji Sheng suddenly felt something, and suddenly looked up to find that he was in front of a cave.

The black mist in the cave billowed out, Jisheng blinked, and his wisdom eyes opened, covered by a hazy light mist, preventing his investigation, it seemed that this place was different from other places.

Ji Sheng hesitated, but went in anyway.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Ji Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he turned his head away.Suddenly, he found that the thick black mist sank, forming a natural black portal at the entrance of the cave, trapping Jisheng in the cave!
Ji Sheng frowned, and hesitantly stretched out his hand to touch the black curtain, only to find that the black mist suddenly dissipated, but he stretched out his hand.Ji Sheng had a strange feeling that this shady curtain did not trap him, but seemed to protect him.

Ji Sheng didn't think too much about it, and continued to look into the cave. There was a hazy mist in the air, and he couldn't see anything clearly.Staring at the depths to spread out the spiritual consciousness, I found that my spiritual consciousness can only cover half a meter of the whole body at most, even if it is mixed with the power of the great way, it can only detect the range of one meter around.

Jisheng walked to the wall and carefully groped along the wall to the depths of the cave.

However, as soon as his hand touched the wall, an extremely cold feeling came from his fingertips instantly.Ji Sheng shivered deeply, as if his fingertips touched something uneven, it felt like there were countless cracks on the wall.

Ji Sheng was startled, and looked carefully at the wall touched by his fingertips.Huo Ran discovered that there was a pattern drawn on it.Ji Sheng stepped back slightly, looked at the surrounding walls, and suddenly found that the entire wall was covered with patterns.

Ji Sheng stared intently, connecting the patterns one by one, his expression full of surprise, which seemed to tell a story.

The first picture is a group of skinny little ghosts with hideous faces and sharp fangs.Holding a thick fire whip, he was driving a group of prisoners in white clothes with shackles around their necks.The prisoners had their hair disheveled, and their ankles were also handcuffed with thick chains. They were tied together, and they didn't know where they were going.

Ji Sheng then looked at the second picture, but he came to an open space. The little ghost pushed the prisoners to the ground one by one, took out Sen Han's iron tongs and pulled out their tongues one by one, dripping with blood!However, it is different from the Tongue Pulling Hell, the tongue will not regenerate after being pulled out.

The more Ji Sheng looked at it, the more frightened he became. These people whose tongues were pulled out would not die. Immediately afterwards, the third picture drove the group of people to the next open space. If anyone fell down, they would be pulled out and whipped to death with fire whips , and drag it to an unknown place.Then came a group of little devils with big black scissors, cutting off their fingers one by one!

Cold sweat broke out on Jisheng's hands, and he looked down quickly, and even beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.The fingertips touching the wall finally began to tremble slightly, and then groups of prisoners were hung on trees. This is not an ordinary tree but an iron tree, which is covered with sharp blades, which are picked from the backs of the prisoners!Then put it in a steamer, hold a red-hot copper cylinder, climb an iceberg on the knife mountain, and put it in an oil pan... all kinds of cruel tortures have been suffered one by one!

Ji Sheng counted eighteen things in total, but he used all the tortures in the eighteen levels of hell!It's like a shrunken version of hell on earth!
Seeing the last picture, the little devils pushed the group of prisoners who had suffered [-] kinds of torture into an invisible pit. The pit was dim and dark, and it was unknown how deep it was. After entering, they disappeared without a sound. in!And all the prisoners who had been whipped to death before were thrown into the pit!

When I came here, the pattern disappeared, and the back seemed to be artificially destroyed, and I couldn't see anything clearly.Only then did Ji Sheng come back to his senses, and suddenly realized that he had reached the end of the hole.

However, Ji Sheng's mind was still stuck in the previous patterns for a long time, and he couldn't calm down at all because of his agitated mood.Everything was too bloody and cruel, and Jisheng told himself intuitively that these must be prisoners in the world, who actually suffered [-] hell tortures like ghosts in hell!
What could be in that endless darkness?Jisheng was full of doubts, but one thing is certain, there must be many unknown secrets hidden behind this!
Ji Sheng took a deep breath, calmed down, and suddenly turned to face the end of the hole.It seems to be a dead end, the road is blocked here, there seems to be a faint figure in the haze!
Ji Sheng rubbed his eyes to make sure he read correctly, and opened them wide, revealing a trace of fear.

"Who are you? A human, a ghost!" Ji Sheng asked loudly without confidence.

The other party didn't respond, and stayed where they were, motionless.Only Jisheng's own voice echoed in this empty cave for a long time.

There was a slight chill in Jisheng's heart, what the hell is this figure!
Ji Sheng focused on his vigilance, put all his energy into it, prepared for any danger, and approached cautiously step by step.

As Jisheng continued to approach, the black mist in front of him parted to the two sides, and the figure hidden in the mist was gradually becoming clear.

A figure in Jisheng's pupils continued to enlarge, and finally shrank suddenly!Ji Sheng saw clearly that what was in front of him was not a living thing, but a statue of Buddha!
This Buddha statue was not placed on the ground like in the temple, but was made into a relief and engraved on the cave wall.The whole relief is about eight feet high, from the head of the Buddha statue to the top of the cave and down to the bottom of the cave, which is just as high as the cave.

This Buddha sits in lotus position, holding a tin stick in his right hand and a wishful jewel in his left hand.Eyes lowered, it seems that everything in front of him is just a passing cloud.Sitting down is a psychic animal with a single horn, dog ears, dragon body, tiger head, lion tail, and unicorn feet.

Ji Sheng could see it clearly, it was clearly the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva guarding the underworld and his beloved beast Di Ting in front of him.

Thinking about it carefully, Jisheng is not surprised that there is a Buddha statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva here.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once made a great vow in front of the Buddha: Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, save all sentient beings, only to realize Bodhi.The Buddha Lord Tathagata saw his sincerity, so he ordered him to guard the underworld!To save the ghosts who died in vain.

However, there was some doubt in Jisheng's eyes, and he thought to himself: Isn't Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in hell?Why is there his relief here?
Combined with the previous murals on the wall, Ji Sheng frowned. Is there any connection between the two? !

The whole relief sculpture is magnificent and majestic. Although it is a dead object, a strong breath of Buddhism emanates from it. Ji Sheng has an illusion that the one in front of him is the real body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

Jisheng's heart skipped a beat, and he was inexplicably attracted by the eyes hanging down from the relief sculpture of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in front of him, which contained a look of compassion.

Huh?Ji Sheng gasped slightly, as if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva blinked his eyelids!Ji Sheng rubbed his eyes vigorously and stared carefully at the past. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyes were still lowered, as if nothing had happened.

Just when Ji Sheng thought he was dazzled, suddenly the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyelids blinked again. This time Ji Sheng saw it clearly, and he was sure that he really moved!
Ji Sheng looked terrified, could it be that the Bodhisattva on the relief is still alive?

"Jisheng!" Suddenly a majestic voice rang in his ears.

Ji Sheng was stunned, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is really alive? !I looked up at the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in disbelief.

Suddenly, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's left hand stretched out from above the relief, extending infinitely, and didn't stop until Jisheng was in front of him.The wish-fulfilling orb was held in the palm, but at the moment it was like a stone bead without luster.

click, click...

The stone skin of the wishful jewel suddenly fell off one after another, and the brilliance gushed out, revealing the round and bright pearl body inside.

Suddenly, a white lotus burst out from the Wishful Orb, sucking the great essence contained in the Orb.Rapid growth, splendor flowing, very holy.

"Come on, Jisheng! Pick it off with both hands." The voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sounded again, holding the flower and smiling, full of temptation.

Ji Sheng's expression was dull, as if there was only an empty shell left, and he stretched out his hands stiffly to grab the pure white lotus on the Buddha's hand in front of him.
