Chapter 36 Strange Sounds 5

In this way, Qiao Xiaoxuan's thoughts were muddle-headed, and he didn't know how long it had been. There are many large and small black spots in the void. If you take a closer look, there are people, demons, demons, charms, great immortals, great Rashak monks, and great Rashak Bhikshuni. An old man in black robe sat high on a huge black lotus platform. He is speaking to several of his disciples.

I only heard one of the black-robed disciples ask: "A lifeless fairy friend, her master is a fairy family. This fairy family has fortune-telling, but this lifeless fairy friend himself also believes that the Western blis fairyland god, the godless immortal Amitabha immortal, is Amitabha immortal. Her master and wife have been possessed. After being rescued, she stayed to accompany her. After nursing for a few days, one night, everyone was sleeping on the big bed, and the two masters were attached again. Then she saw a man and came to circle her head with her hands. She hurriedly read Amitabha, hit it far away, and fell to the sofa. She asked the child next to her and said that she saw sitting on the sofa. Then it ran to the back window and rowed at her. She still recited the Amitabha Immortal. Later, the venerable Siddhartha came down and fought with the man with a big knife, and then the man turned into a black ball and ran away. I believe what she said before, but I don't know when the Venerable Siddhartha comes down. Please enlighten the master. Is what she said credible? If it's true, is this a demon or a ghost?

The old man in black robe replied, "If there is this phenomenon, you can read: Don't lie to me. I know who you are. Read it until you understand."

At this point, after a pause, the old master in black continued:

"Listen to me tell a story. This story is called "The Vicious Ghost King Da Rasha Bhikkhu Han Xin". There is a ghost king called the vicious ghost king in the Dizang Wusheng Immortal Sutra, and this ghost king is the worst. How do you know he is the worst? It's vicious! Viciousness is extremely bad, vicious and vicious. No matter what sentient beings he sees, he wants to swallow him in one bite. Do you think he is awesome? His heart is evil and his mouth is poisonous. What does this mean? It means that this kind of vicious ghost king is not against good people, but against evil people. Because the wicked are evil in their hearts and their mouths, so they have to attack poison with poison and control evil with evil. You are evil, he is more evil than you; you are vicious, he is more vicious than you. But don't think he is vicious, you are afraid of him. Don't be afraid! As long as you read Amitabha, he will worship you respectfully; if you don't read Amitabha, his heart will attack. Then as soon as you read Amitabha, he will not be evil; as soon as you read the scriptures, he will also be good. So don't be afraid of him. As long as you can recite Amitabha, recite scriptures, and develop bodhichitta, he will not be evil, no matter how poisonous he is, and will become a protector. Why? This vicious ghost king is 'the appearance of the vicious ghost king, with the heart of the big Rasha monks'. The inside is to use a vicious method to save all sentient beings. Otherwise, how could he be with the emperor of hell? Yan Luo Tianzi also did this. Although his name is the vicious ghost king, it is really not malicious.

"Listen to me tell another story. Prince and Water Ghost. The king has three princes, the eldest is called 'Prince of the Earth' and the second is called 'Prince of the Moon'. The youngest prince is born to the king's death of the queen and the newly married queen, named 'Prince of the Sun'. The king loved the queen he married very much, so he especially liked the 'Prince of Japan' who looked most like him. Therefore, the king promised to help the queen make a wish come true. Dear King,' said the Queen, 'I can't think of any wishes now! I'll ask the king for this wish when I think of it, okay?' The king nodded and agreed. The three little princes gradually grew up, and the youngest Japanese prince had become a young, powerful and handsome teenager by the age of 15. Distinguished king! Do you remember that you promised to fulfill my wish? On this day, the queen pleaded with the king in a good mood: 'King! You see, our Prince of Japan is kind-hearted, powerful and handsome. He is a person who can take on the responsibility of governing the country. I beg the king to grant the throne to the Prince of Japan!' The king listened to the queen's words and said in embarrassment, "I see Prince Japan becoming more and more sensible, and I am also very happy as my father. However, according to the national law, the throne must be inherited by the eldest prince. I can't violate the national law and give up the throne to the Prince of Japan. You'd better think of another wish!' The queen saw that the king's answer was very resolute and did not dare to say anything more at that time, but after that, she still often pestered the king and encouraged some court ministers to lobby the king. Seeing this situation, the king thought to his heart, "If I insist on not giving up the throne to the little prince, the queen will not give up. If I don't do it well, she may let her men kill the prince of the earth and the prince of the moon. I have to think of a perfect solution.' So the king called the prince and the prince of the moon to him and explained the whole story to the two princes. The king said reluctantly, 'I'm afraid that one day she will hurt you for selfish desires. Therefore, I think you'd better take refuge somewhere else first. I will write in my edict to let the prince inherit the throne. When I die, you will come back quickly. The ministers and the people will support your rule.' Then, the king gave the two brothers some treasures and reluctantly secretly sent the two princes out of the palace. When the two princes left the palace, they happened to meet the Prince of Japan. The smart Prince of Japan immediately guessed the king's decision and ran to the king and said, "Father, I don't have any heirs. Our three brothers are so good friends, and I have to run away with my brother." The king took a deep look at Prince Ri and acquiesced in him. So, the three brothers ran away together and walked for a long time. When they were quite tired, they met a clear lake. The old prince went to a big tree by the lake and said to the prince of the moon and the prince of the sun, 'Let's take a rest here first and take a bath in the lake.' The prince of the moon asked the youngest prince to wash first. Unexpectedly, there is a water ghost living in this wide and beautiful lake. 'I don't eat the people on the shore, but the people who go down to the lake, except for the master who knows the law, I will eat him.' The water ghost set such a rule for himself. Of course, the Japanese prince who came from afar did not know this rule. When he walked to the lake and saw the clear water, he jumped into the lake without hesitation. When the water ghost saw someone jumping into the water, he grabbed Prince Ri and asked, "Bold teenager, dare to come here to disturb my quiet lake. Do you know the law of heaven?" When the Prince of Japan saw the ferocious water ghost, he couldn't help but panic. When he heard the water ghost ask himself if he knew the heavenly law, he casually said, 'The heavenly law is the sun and the moon!' Humph! You don't know the law of heaven. I'm going to eat you!' After saying that, the water ghost pulled Prince Ri to the depths of the lake and locked him in the place where he lived. The prince of the earth and the prince of the moon waited for a long time but did not see their younger brother return, and they were very anxious. Prince Yue said to the prince, 'Brother, my brother hasn't come back after going there for so long. I'm afraid I'm lost my way. I'll look for it.' So Prince Yue also came to the lake and couldn't see Prince Ri, so he jumped into the water to look for him. As a result, he was also caught by the water ghost: 'A bold teenager dares to come here to disturb my quiet lake. Do you know the heavenly law?' When Prince Yue saw this fierce water ghost, he was also flustered and said casually, 'The law of heaven is everywhere!' The water ghost said, 'You don't know the law of heaven, and you will be eaten by me!' Prince Moon was also locked in the place where he lived by the water ghost. The prince waited under the big tree for a long time and saw that his two brothers did not come back, so he came to the lake in person and checked along the lake. He found that there were only two strings of footprints on the lawn on one side of the lake, but there were no footprints. 'Shouldn't he be captured by a water ghost?' The prince took out his sword and bow and arrow from his luggage, came to the lake again, and put on an arrow, 'Give me back to my brothers!' The prince shouted at the lake. The water ghost floated to the surface and said, 'They have broken my rules and deserved to die. If you know the heavenly law, I can let go of one of them.' The prince calmed down and read a fairy renun to the water ghost: 'It is a heavenly law to have a sense of shame and repentance, eliminate evil and seek fame, respect the old and love all sentient beings, and accumulate virtue and do good deeds.' When the water ghost heard the teaching of "abandon evil and follow good" in the fairy sy, he suddenly had the idea of repentance. So he said to the prince, "That's good! This is the way of heaven. Which one do you want to take away? The prince of the earth said, 'I want the youngest prince of Japan.' The water ghost was very curious: 'Why is it him? Isn't Prince Moon your own brother?' The prince shook his head: 'No! Because Prince Ri is not my own brother, I want to save him. If Prince Moon and I lived in the world, but said that Prince Sun was eaten by the water ghost in the lake, who would believe me? In doing so, I will not only lose my father's trust in me, but also be condemned by my subjects. Therefore, if there is only one choice now, I will protect the safety of the Japanese prince.' The water ghost listened to the prince's words and praised with emotion: 'Wise man! You are not only a person who knows the law of heaven, but also a person who enforces the law of heaven!' As a result, the water ghost respected the prince of the earth more, so he released both the prince of the moon and the prince of the sun. A few years later, the old king died, and the subjects received an edict to welcome the princes and make the prince of the land the new king according to the regulations of the state. After the prince of the earth succeeded to the throne, he made the prince of the moon his deputy king and the prince of Japan as the general. The three of them used justice and the legal system to govern the country, worked together to make the country prosperous and the people safe, and became the richest country in the world.
