Journey to the West: I want to be sanctified

Chapter 227
Seeing Zong Hai crying miserably, Kong Hui felt great pain in his heart.

"Zong Hai, get up first. This merit book may not be true. It may be a trick deliberately designed by someone to deal with us! Let's go back to Daxingshan Temple first, and then make plans!"

Zong Hai shook his head and said, "Master, it must be true. All the things recorded in this merit book have happened for real, not fake."

"Zong Hai, don't be afraid, go back with your teacher first."

Zong Hai nodded, and followed Kong Hui back to Daxingshan Temple weakly.

Neither the master nor the apprentice noticed that there was always a black figure behind them, silently following them.

……

Kong Hui brought Zong Hai to her room, asked Zong Hai to sit and rest first, and said:

"Zong Hai, wait here for a while, I am now praying to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, asking for a solution."

Zong Hai nodded, his face was flat and gloomy.

Kong Hui entered the secret room, where the ever-burning lamp was lit, and a portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hung on the wall, lifelike:

A handsome young monk with palms folded, wearing cassock, sat on the lotus platform.

At his feet, a white poodle lay beside him with his ears on the ground.

This "Picture of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" was accidentally obtained by Master Konghui from a farmer.

Because of the day and night visits to the shrine, the Ksitigarbha King entered the dream to teach the Dharma.

Normally, Kong Hui would not let anyone else know about this place.

Even Zonghai and Zongfa didn't know that their master had such a secret room.

Kong Hui lit a few sticks of incense and put them in the incense burner in front of the painting.

After bowing respectfully three times, he opened his mouth and said:

"The deep secret treasures of the immovable earth, the leader of the nether world, Nanmo Dayuan, is above Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Disciple Kong Hui, I pray to the Bodhisattva to bestow the Dharma door and save me, Tu Zonghai. "

After praying, Kong Hui kowtowed respectfully again.

It was so hard that my forehead was bleeding.

……

Under the eighteen layers of hell.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva opened his eyes and said, "Konghui, Zonghai, you have made great achievements in preaching hell in Chang'an and warning the world.

It is quite unfair that the merit book does not record the merits of my Buddhist disciples. "

Di Ting raised his head, looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and said:

"Master, you have a broad mind and let them make merit books, but they didn't take you seriously.

When recording merits, the merits of Buddhist disciples are not counted; when recording sins, they are never omitted. "

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed and said to himself:
"It seems that this matter needs to be discussed with the King of Hades from the Ten Palaces."

After a while, the top ten Hades of the underworld received voice transmissions from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

King Qin Guang frowned, then left the first hall and went to the eighteenth floor of hell.

The masters of the other halls saw that King Qin Guang had gone down.

They all felt relieved and boldly followed.

……

Master Konghui continued to kowtow there, and after kowtowing for an unknown amount of time, a sigh finally came from his mind:
"Don't worry."

Master Konghui was overjoyed, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva responded to him!
"Disciple Konghui, thank Earth Store Bodhisattva. In the future, I will serve Bodhisattva more sincerely and dedicate this body to my Buddhist school!"

After finishing speaking, Master Kong Hui ran out.

Just after Master Konghui left, a black figure appeared in the shadows on the wall reflected by the ever-burning lamp.

The black figure looks at the portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Suddenly laughed silently.

……

"Zonghai, it's all right. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and he can naturally distinguish right from wrong. The merit book must be wrong."

After hearing this, Zong Hai's eyes flashed brightly, he looked at his master excitedly, and said:

"Really, Master? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is willing to give me exercises?"

Master Kong Hui was taken aback, and said, "Zong Hai, what does this have to do with giving exercises?"

Zong Hai's face was stiff, and he said in a disappointed tone: "Master, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva bestowed the exercises, and I can also cultivate to the realm of Venerable Arhat. At that time, merits and sins will not be controlled by the City God's Merit Book. I'll be fine of course."

Kong Hui obviously didn't expect that her apprentice Zong Hai would think this way.

"Cultivation is not a day's work.

Besides, I have already passed on all the exercises of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to you, so why do you need Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to pass on the exercises again? "

Zong Hai was startled, obviously not believing it.

Kong Hui sighed, "Zong Hai, don't worry, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has personally instructed us not to worry, and the Bodhisattva will naturally protect us. Amitabha."

After Zong Hai listened, Fang Qiang smiled and folded his hands together, "Amitabha. Thank you, Master."

Kong Hui nodded in relief, and said: "Zong Hai, you have worked hard recently, you should have a good night's rest first, and tomorrow, we will discuss how to deal with the merit book."

Zong Hai nodded, walked out with heavy steps.

Kong Hui sighed.

Oops!

Kong Hui felt something bad in his heart, and hurried back to the secret room.

In the secret room, the ever-burning lamp is still on, and the portrait of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is also the same as before.

Master Kong Hui bowed down again and prayed sincerely:
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, disciple Kong Hui. I have something to tell the Bodhisattva. Now in Chang'an City, there are merit books in various town god temples. I also ask the Bodhisattva to give advice on how to deal with the matter of the merit book.
Is the merit book true or false?
What kind of attitude should our Buddhism hold?

For all kinds of questions, I still hope that the Bodhisattva will send down clear instructions to solve the doubts. "

After praying, Kong Hui didn't have any spiritual consciousness in his mind.

Kong Hui stayed quietly in the secret room, waiting silently.

But I felt a little uneasy in my heart. I asked the Bodhisattva to help Zong Hai at the first moment, instead of reporting the matter.

Although the bodhisattva may have known it already, but would he have any opinion on himself?

……

Zong Hai returned to his room, feeling endlessly depressed.

Doesn't your master still trust you?

Master Konghui said that he has told himself all the cultivation methods of enlightenment, but he has also cultivated. Why is the realm still the only enlightened person?
He didn't believe that his aptitude was not as good as his master's!
Zong Hai has always been very confident and can learn everything quickly.

It must be that Kong Hui kept a hand and didn't teach herself all the formulas.

The more Zong Hai thought about it, the angrier he became. He was loyal to Kong Hui, but he ended up like this.

Kong Hui doesn't trust herself and doesn't allow herself to improve her cultivation, and according to Kong Hui's words, she preaches the underworld and has done a lot of hard work, but in exchange for the consequences of her own merits and virtues.

All this made Zong Hai's heart completely unable to calm down.

Even now, his master is still unwilling to save himself, unwilling to wear all the exercises to himself, and is still deceiving himself.

Unable to conceal his anger any longer, Zong Hai angrily smashed the teacup on the table to the ground!
