Chapter 317 Reactions from all parties The distinct black and white sword light penetrated the gas cocoon formed by the mother energy of the earth, and then shuttled through it dozens of times. Every time, the vague figure within the mother energy of the earth would tremble. At the last moment, the figure inside the cocoon of Mother Earth's Qi had completely lost any life. Jiang Lin raised his hand, took back the corpse dog flying sword, and looked at Hou Tu Huang Di Ji. Hou Tu Huang Di Ji lowered her eyes and looked at the Mother Earth Qi Cocoon in her hand. In her eyes, there flashed a dark and dim light, and with this one glance, she could see through the figure in the cocoon of Mother Earth's Qi. "Ah, very good." Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi took a long look at this, and after she withdrew her gaze, she nodded firmly. "died." "Completely dead?"

Jiang Lin asked this. Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi nodded again and said, "He is completely dead. From now on, there will be no more Ksitigarbha in the world." "Ok?" Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and looked up in surprise, and asked: "You said... the one inside the cocoon is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?" The Buddha of Buddhism, one of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, has made a great vow not to attain Buddhahood until hell is empty! A person with great supernatural powers! Just die? And he died in his own hands? but…… Jiang Lin muttered to himself, "A person with great supernatural powers will not die unless there are countless calamities, but why..." Will you die in my hands? And it was Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi who confirmed his complete death? "Don't even think about it." Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi obviously had no intention of explaining. He just shook his head slightly and said in a serious tone, "The reason why I want you to take action is because I want to confirm something with you." "Now it seems that what Ziwei said is true." Jiang Lin listened quietly, but was very obedient and didn't think too much about it. He has always been very self-aware. Since the Emperor said so, there must be some reason that Jiang Lin cannot approach for the time being. In this case, there is no need to get to the bottom of it. "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the mastermind behind the plot of the Hungry Ghost Realm?" Jiang Lin talked about other things. As for the hungry ghost realm, it is actually very clear now. First of all, one thing must be made sure: the more hungry ghosts there are in the hungry ghost realm, the greater the pressure on Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi. Instead, the greater the influence of the hungry ghost realm, the greater the pressure on Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi, and it may even be so great that he has to leave the underworld to block part of the cause and effect.

Otherwise, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi might not even be able to maintain himself. However, in 99% of cases, the number of hungry ghosts in the hungry ghost realm represents the influence of the hungry ghost realm on the three realms. But it was still a little unexpected. For example, what happened not long ago was the release of hungry ghosts from the hungry ghost realm. This will naturally have a deeper and more dangerous impact on the Three Realms, and is also the reason why Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi was forced to leave the underworld and live in seclusion in the small world of Ziwei Dongtian. There are only a few people in the underworld who can interfere with the six realms of reincarnation, and the only one with a "motive for committing the crime" is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. But the problem is, the four giants of the underworld. Among these four, Emperor Fengdu, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, Emperor Dongyue who can borrow the name of Lord of Mount Tai, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva ranks third in strength. Although the Emperor Dongyue has some power in the underworld, he generally does not interfere in the affairs of the underworld. So strictly speaking, there are only three giants in the underworld, and among these three, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the last. With such strength, can one really do such a thing under the noses of Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi and Fengdu Emperor? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva may be the mastermind behind this, but he is definitely not the only one. "one." Sure enough, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi gave the answer that Jiang Lin had inferred. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is only the specific executor, and there is a stronger existence behind him to restrain the King of Fengdu. Although the old man is well-known for not getting involved in other people's affairs, he will naturally not give up when faced with big things. But the fact that he has not directly intervened in the affairs of the underworld until now is actually very telling. "So, Lingshan?" Jiang Lin asked tentatively. Hou Tu Huang Di Ji nodded slightly. Jiang Lin took a deep breath and understood what the trouble Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi was talking about. One of the eight great Bodhisattvas was completely slaughtered by Jiang Lin at this moment. It would be strange if Lingshan had no reaction. Although Jiang Lin didn't know the reason yet, it was obvious that Lingshan would not give up. Jiang Lin raised his head and looked towards the west. Although there was an underworld between them, Jiang Lin seemed to see the sacred mountain. ………… At this moment, Lingshan. Inside the Great Leiyin Temple. The Tathagata Buddha was still sitting on the lotus platform, with rays of Buddha's light emanating from his eyes as he opened and closed them. At this moment, there was only Tathagata Buddha in the main hall of the Great Leiyin Temple.

At this moment, the Buddha seemed to be fighting against something. His entire body's aura was visible and even fluctuated. "Amitabha." The Tathagata Buddha spoke and opened his eyes at the same time, with a flash of sadness in his eyes. "From now on, there is no Ksitigarbha in Buddhism anymore. Is the Emperor still not satisfied?" There was no fluctuation in the voice of the Tathagata. A majestic and mighty voice rang out in the dark void. "You have caused chaos in the three realms and are trapped in your own web." "Now you are reaping the fruits of your own actions, yet you are still pretending to be righteous. Who are you trying to please?" If Jiang Lin were here, he would find that the voice was not from someone else but from Emperor Ziwei. However, compared to the Emperor Ziwei who looked ordinary when Jiang Lin first met him, the voice at this moment was so awe-inspiring. The Tathagata Buddha did not say anything else, just sighed and closed his eyes. "Your Majesty should know that this old monk will not sit idly by." "Ah……" The response to Tathagata Buddha was a cold laugh. Then, there was no sound. At the same time, the aura of Tathagata Buddha no longer fluctuated. Obviously, with the end of the conversation, the secret confrontation between the two top powerful masters in the Three Realms also ended. The Tathagata Buddha looked at the empty Mahavira Hall in front of him and slowly said, "Mahakasyapa Ananda." Before he finished speaking, two figures emerged from beneath the lotus platform of Tathagata Buddha. They were the two attendants of the Tathagata, Ananda and Kashyapa. "Amitabha, I have seen the Tathagata." The two venerables, Kashyapa and Ananda, clasped their hands together and saluted, but they were a little confused. The Buddha had just said not long ago that they should not be disturbed, but it was very unusual that he summoned the two of them not long after. "Jizo is dead." The Tathagata Buddha spoke slowly. Hearing this, Kasyapa Ananda frowned slightly, and Kasyapa asked, "Could it be that Hou Tu Huang Di Ji took action?" "Please teach me how to call back Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Although it is not difficult for a powerful person to return by himself after being killed, it would be much easier if he had the cooperation of others. Generally speaking, there are several ways. Either it is a water and land ceremony, or it is to further spread the name of Ksitigarbha in the three realms.

In short, cooperate. The Tathagata Buddha shook his head slightly and sighed, "Ksitigarbha is dead." Faced with the Buddha's repetition, Ananda and Kasyapa looked at each other and thought of the most unlikely possibility. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, is he completely dead? "How can this be?!" Venerable Ananda could not help but widen his eyes and stare at the Tathagata Buddha with some presumption. “My Buddha, why is Ksitigarbha…” Tathagata Buddha closed his eyes and sighed again, saying: “Under the demonic calamity, even the Buddha cannot stay out of it.” "There will be catastrophe in the three realms." "After the journey to the west, Buddhism spread to the east, Lingshan Mountain flourished, and its fortune was like flowers blooming and oil boiling in a blazing fire. Now it is bearing the brunt of it." Upon hearing this, Ananda and Kasyapa bowed and chanted "Amitabha". After paying his respects, Kasyapa asked, "May I ask my Buddha, what should I do next?" It goes without saying that the death of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is definitely related to Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi. If Buddhism wants to fight back, then the first thing it will target is the underworld. However, if it targets the underworld, it will definitely be facing off against the strongest existence in heaven today. A more important point. How did Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva die? Being able to completely kill a person with great supernatural powers, could it be that an endless calamity is about to come? Thinking of what Tathagata Buddha just said about the so-called demonic calamity... Ananda and Kasyapa were both filled with horror. "Huashan." The Tathagata Buddha uttered two words and then closed his eyes. Ananda and Kasyapa looked at each other, then put their hands together and saluted again. "Amitabha." ………… "The temple keeper is finally back." "I waited for the temple keeper for a long time and thought he had left." Inside the Goddess Temple. Jiang Lin sat behind the fortune-telling stall, looked at the beautiful young lady in front of him, and nodded calmly. "This lot is a sign of good fortune for the believer. It is a very good lot. In the future, the family will be harmonious and the parents will be healthy." After Jiang Lin finished speaking, he put the sticks in his hand back into the stick bucket, looked behind the young lady, stood up and said, "Everyone, it's getting late. The Goddess Temple is closed today. Please come again tomorrow." After saying that, he bowed to all directions and closed the door of the Goddess Temple under the reluctant gazes of the young ladies.

"call……" Jiang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and completed today's work. The matter of the hungry ghost realm is temporarily over. Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, who has been free for a long time, guards the underworld. Even if the old man still does not do his job, there will be no major changes in the underworld. The strength of Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi is trustworthy. However, although the matter of the hungry ghost realm was considered to be over, it was not over for Yang Chan yet. With the death of Ji Bendao, the three major evil sects that had besieged Hangzhou have now all disappeared. But it leaves many questions. The first thing that comes to mind is, what exactly is that ominous evil spirit that possesses and controls the Bon Dao rituals? Jiang Lin discovered that there were more and more secrets about himself. Not only does it have a natural, unreasonable restraint on the ominous evil spirits that have never appeared in the three realms. Moreover, it is now possible to completely kill a person with great magical powers. Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was suppressed by Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi to the same Golden Immortal realm as Jiang Lin, the essence of the great supernatural being will not change. These two secrets have always lingered in Jiang Lin's mind. As for the former, even the Emperor Ziwei could not give him a definite answer, and as for the latter, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji and Emperor Ziwei obviously knew something, but they would not tell Jiang Lin for the time being. Jiang Lin rubbed his eyebrows and didn't think about it anymore. Half a month has passed since he came out of the underworld. During this half month, Jiang Lin has been staying in the Temple of the Goddess every day and can hardly leave the house. This is like waiting for something to happen, but Yang Chan's matter is not over yet. Even if one Liu Yanchang dies, there will definitely be another Liu Yanchang. No matter what secrets Ji Bon Dao has, he is ultimately just a white glove. And if there are white gloves, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes. Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta is one of them, but he probably won’t take direct action again. If that’s the case, the old man will not sit idly by. So, when will the next Liu Yanchang come? This is also the reason why Jiang Lin has been guarding the Goddess Temple. The commission given by Yang Jian is not something that can be easily evaded. And Jiang Lin didn't want to get away with it. The matter of the hungry ghost realm and Yang Chan's matter are both related to Lingshan. Just for this reason, Jiang Lin could not just sit back and do nothing. Jiang Lin’s goal now is that as long as Lingshan is uncomfortable, he will be happy. "Taoist Master." While Jiang Lin was deep in thought, a sweet voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Tu Shanyu appeared behind Jiang Lin holding a tray. On the tray were two delicious dishes and a pot of wine. "Master, you have worked hard. Come and eat something." Tu Shanyu placed the tray on the table with a smile and said softly, "There is a farm in Tushan that specializes in raising pheasants. I sent one here for you to try." "Ah." Jiang Lin didn't hesitate to drink half a pot of wine in one gulp and then started to eat it. In the past half month, Tu Shanyu fed Jiang Lin a meal every day. Although Jiang Lin has reached that level and no longer needs to eat, not having to eat and not being able to eat are obviously two different things. It is said that spiritual practice requires a clear mind and few desires, and that fasting and eating whole grains means that the body is contaminated with foul air. Pure nonsense. When you practice cultivation, you are cultivating yourself. If even grains and cereals can affect your cultivation, then what you are cultivating is not a good one. Besides, what Tu Shanyu fed to Jiang Lin were not ordinary things. They all carried spiritual energy, or were simply things from heaven. This little thing might be extremely precious to others, but it was obviously not a difficult task for the contemporary princess of Tushan. So Jiang Lin didn't feel any pressure when eating. "Master, how does it taste?" Tu Shanyu felt a sense of accomplishment as she watched Jiang Lin eating with relish. If you want to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach. This is true everywhere. Tu Shanyu acted in this way, obviously he had sought advice from a military advisor. "taste good." Jiang Lin nodded while eating. 'Tuk-tuk-tuk...' At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the Goddess Temple. Jiang Lin looked up, his expression changed, and he looked at Tu Shanyu beside him, and they both shook their heads slightly. There was only knocking on the door, but no other sound. In other words, Jiang Lin could not sense the existence of the knock on the door, when it appeared, or whether it was still there. This is obviously not normal. Jiang Lin winked at Tu Shanyu, who nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the statue of the Huashan Goddess, and entered the small world of gods through the statue. No matter what is knocking on the door, since we don't know whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is better to be cautious. Tu Shanyu didn't have to stay with Jiang Lin, because she knew very well that if she stayed here, she would only cause trouble if anything unusual happened.

So she went to find Yang Chan as soon as possible. No matter what existence comes, it will not risk the world's condemnation and offend the small world of gods, especially Yang Chan's small world of gods. 'Tuk-tuk-tuk...' The knock on the door sounded again, but Jiang Lin calmly drank a pot of wine, then stood up and walked towards the door. Raise your hand and open the door. With the light of dusk, Jiang Lin could clearly see the figure outside the door. It was a woman in purple, about 28 years old, with tears in her eyes and a lingering panic on her pitiful face. "Taoist Master, help!" (End of this chapter)
