The withered vines were entwined, and the small temple was hidden. Unfortunately, there was no stream or path in front of the door, only an unfathomable cliff.
On the prayer mat,
The Bodhisattva wearing a solemn mask had just finished bowing to the empty altar table,
When he got up,
At the door,
A dignified middle-aged man in a purple robe had already appeared at the entrance of the small temple.
"Aren't you going to bow?"
The Bodhisattva asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head. "There's still nothing up there."
The Bodhisattva did not comment. He walked to the door and stepped over the threshold.
The middle-aged man followed behind him. He was calm and composed, but there was also just the right amount of respect.
"For thousands of years, it has always been others who have bowed to us. If we smoke too much, it will be easy for us to get carried away. Therefore, we have to find something that we can kneel to and bow to. Just treat it as getting rid of this bad luck."
"Can you find it?"
"As long as you have it in your heart."
The Bodhisattva put his hands together,
"Also, are you so sure that you really can't find it?"
"I'm not here to discuss Buddhism with you."
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back. At this moment, it was as if the sea of clouds had unconsciously begun to submit to his feet.
"Your dharma body has recovered?" Bodhisattva asked.
The middle-aged man nodded and then shook his head,
"It has recovered, but I still can't forget that scene. Perhaps, you're right, indeed..."
"He's different, he's different."
The Bodhisattva interrupted the middle-aged man's words. "A period of time, a period of luck, the establishment of Yin and Yang, is fundamentally in the cycle.
In this world, you sing and I go on stage. It's not your era anymore. If you force your way up, you won't be able to stand for long. At most, you'll cause a little trouble like last time.
From ancient times to the present,
There were actually many who were still alive, but they had all chosen to hibernate. In fact, hibernating for a long time was also a kind of taming. Once you were tamed, you would no longer be you.
You would become a flower or a tree by the roadside, the rain in the wind, the thunder in the clouds, and nature.
The Xiezhi's main body was asleep, and its body was divided into millions. It seemed to be in the limelight. Among the fierce beasts that had survived since ancient times, it could be said to be the most glorious.
However, what it did was different from turning itself into the rules of the Heavenly Dao and becoming a branch of the rules under the Heavenly Dao?
It wasn't living for itself, but for the sake of living, it gradually gave up on itself.
That person was once the Master of the Netherworld Ocean. For countless years, we all thought that he had died long ago. However, he has returned. However, what can he do?
A whirlwind and clouds stirred the hell.
But in the end, it was just a temporary wave.
To put it simply, their era has passed, and the stage no longer belongs to them. "
"Are you talking about us?"
The middle-aged man asked.
"Others might not understand, but don't you?
These ten attendants are not my people. Using them to replace you is just following the trend of the changing of the stage, following the general trend.
For me,
On top of this..,
What's the difference between the two of you sitting here and them sitting here? "
"They still can't accept it," the middle-aged man said in a low voice. "That's what the others think too."
"But you can see it."
Bodhisattva took a few steps forward.
Near the edge of the cliff,
There was a golden lotus flower growing on it.
The Bodhisattva's hand gently stroked the petals.
"I don't think I can understand it."
Bodhisattva smiled.
Although he was wearing a mask,
But when he laughed,
You could feel the heartfelt joy of the surrounding vegetation.
"That monkey is attacking the main city. With such a huge commotion, if you don't believe me, how could the current you be standing here calmly talking to me?"
The middle-aged man fell silent.
"It's all because you're certain in your heart that the era of Mount Tai has passed. Those relics of the past, even if they jump out again, they'll only jump a few times.
It's fine to make some noise, but is it possible to pierce through the sky, or even change the sky? "
"That's the monkey of the first generation after all."
Bodhisattva smiled again.
As a result, the wind on the cliff became warmer and warmer.
At this moment.
The surrounding scenery became gentle and hazy, filled with a peaceful aura.
"You guys just feel that your era is about to pass. The stage is about to be given up. You guys can't be bothered to clean up this mess."
Bodhisattva stretched out his hand.
He gently broke the golden lotus in front of him.
Then, he threw it into the cliff.
For a moment.
The golden butterfly danced in the air.
It rose slowly.
It covered the sea of clouds.
"Shouldn't we?
We old fellows are already preparing to pack our bags and retreat. How can we clean up a new house for them? "
Bodhisattva sighed.
"So, of the ten of you, I've always admired Lu the most.
He only cares about what he should do, what he needs to do, and what he can do. He doesn't think about anything else.
You guys.
You're all old people from the era of Mount Tai.
But only he doesn't have the rotten aura of Mount Tai. "
After hearing the name "Lu," the middle-aged man fell silent.
"It's not time for the stage yet. It's a fixed situation and the law of destiny. In the end, it's still about gradual progress. Being impatient is indeed not good.
"Previously, the ten attendants attacked and destroyed the Equal King's Palace. One of the Ten Yama Kings was missing.
"Then …
Then, that incident happened right away.
One of the ten attendants' ten fingers was broken. "
Bodhisattva turned around.
Looking at the middle-aged man, he continued,
"This is the drawback of going on stage early. Standing in the middle of the stage is a kind of glory, but it's also a kind of restriction.
"Once you stand on stage, even if you know that you're about to walk down, it's not time yet. Why don't you try walking down early?"
Bodhisattva raised his hand.
The golden butterflies that filled the sky gathered together and turned into a golden Kun.
The shape of the Kun was vast.
It turned into a dazzling golden light.
At this moment.
It illuminated the area as if it was daytime.
Then.
It whistled.
It went straight to the east.
"The main city can be broken. After all, the Yin is so big. The loss of one main city will not shake the foundation of the Yin. However, the people's hearts cannot be completely dispersed for the time being.
He had to show those eyes hidden in the darkness around him.
This stage.
We have to go down.
But.
The next group of people who walked up.
It was definitely not them.
Moreover.
It's not time to completely change the order of Yin and Yang. It's still time to do it step by step. "
Bodhisattva put his hands together.
He faced the east and chanted the Heart Sutra.
That big golden bird.
It carried multicolored light.
It flew above Hell.
It passed on.
It belonged to the supreme will of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
He was still there.
It wasn't time for the Yin to fall.
After a while.
Bodhisattva put down his hands.
He said.
"Aren't you going?"
The middle-aged man was in a hurry to move. Instead, he asked.
"I've always been curious. What's the purpose of this?
The monkey of the first generation. It's said that after the fall of the first generation, he guarded his tomb until he died.
Now.
Why did he have to run out? "
It made sense.
The middle-aged man felt that he could understand and feel it.
He didn't think that the previous Prefect couldn't see it clearly.
Moreover.
That was the first generation!
The Mount Tai bloodline was recognized as the strongest and most talented existence!
Since that was the case.
After such a torment.
What was it for?
Just to vent his anger?
"The child doesn't feel bad selling his father's field."
"Is it because of the last generation?"
When he mentioned the word "Last generation", the middle-aged man's tone changed.
Because.
He had come into contact with the last Prefect. He could even be said to have been promoted by the last Prefect.
However.
After the sudden disappearance of the last Prefect.
He chose to betray the bloodline of the Prefect.
"The first generation is indeed amazing.
He was born in the most turbulent era of Hell. He also personally ended that era and created the order that Hell has continued to this day.
If the first generation was born in this era.
You, us, and even the ten attendants after that, would not have any chance to appear on stage.
However, the marsh of Mount Tai would eventually dry up.
There were very few imperial families in the Yang Realm that were over three hundred years old.
Hell was brilliant, in charge of Yin and Yang, following the natural order. Only the first generation dared to truly pass down this Hell as their own world!
This generation after generation of Prefect.
From the turbulent era to the hands of the last generation.
For such a long time.
For such a long time.
After one's own family stepped down, it was not something that an ordinary person could do.
But there were always exceptions, and there were always endings. "
At this point,
The Bodhisattva smiled again.
Around his feet.
Countless new golden lotus flowers grew and fluttered in the wind.
"It has always been said in Hell that I was the one who caused the last generation to disappear and ended the bloodline of the Prefect.
In reality.
This karma was really reversed.
It wasn't that I appeared and he ended.
It was because he was about to be ended that I appeared. "
"But, it's still over," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's over."
The eyes under the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mask revealed a golden light.
At this moment.
His eyes were the eyes of the Kun.
He saw the collapse of the main city walls.
He saw the black monkey slaughtering everything in its path.
He saw the terrifying wave of ferocious beasts below.
At the same time.
He said,
"Li."
"I'm here."
"Do you know where these ferocious beasts came from?"
The middle-aged man replied, "The seal in the far west sealed land can no longer be maintained."
"In the past, I also thought that the first generation defeated the giants of the turbulent era and sealed them together in order to bring peace to Hell and end that calamitous era of yin and yang."
"Isn't that so?"
"How many years has it been since you last went to the Yang Realm?"
"It's been a while."
"If you have nothing to do, you can go up and take a look. The changes in the Yang Realm are great."
"Is that so?
But in the thousand years that I've been in charge of the prison, the sins and sins of the dead souls haven't changed. "
"You can really go up and take a look."
"Okay, what do you want to see?"
"There's a new thing in the Yang Realm.
I think it's very appropriate to describe the giants of the first generation who sealed the turbulent era. "
"What is it?"
"Batteries."

He had to rush out today. The journey was a little rushed, and there was only one watch today.
