Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds

Su Lie, who had been traveling on horseback, received news from the capital city one after another.

The favored Concubine Xian was demoted, and her mother's family also suffered severe suppression. It was said that it was because her daughter offended the so-called goddess while playing.

That's fine. Su Lie was on good terms with Wen Xin and was inclined towards Empress Wen's faction. He had little contact with the concubines.

Next, there is a story about a minor official who was lavishly rewarded by His Majesty and became extremely popular, simply because he was considered the mother family of the goddess.

"Look, they are going to place people in the court! Your Majesty is too confused."

Su Lie hurriedly rode his horse to Wen Xin's front, feeling angry and anxious. He thought that His Majesty was "old and confused" and couldn't even see through the liar's scam.

First, they pretend to use some tricks to bewitch the emperor, then they use some pretexts of immortals, gods, and ghosts to gild their own image, and finally they place their own people in positions of power to make money and influence government affairs.

What biological mother? It’s a pity that Taizu was a hero all his life, but he had a woman and a daughter for no reason.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We can reach the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow by marching quickly. We agreed to return to Beijing first and find out the truth. You are not allowed to file a petition on your own initiative!"

Wen Xin glanced at him and felt a little disdainful of the emperor's brother-in-law's stupid behavior.

But as a subject, you cannot criticize openly. For a powerful emperor like today, that would be seeking death!

"I know, I know." Su Lie nodded perfunctorily.

........................

Upon learning that the imperial general and his wife's brother were about to arrive in the capital, Li Yue, although puzzled as to why they were so fast, still arranged for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the welcoming ceremony.

Defeating the Hu barbarians was truly a great achievement.

The emperor himself devoted himself to work that would never be reduced, and the arrival of the goddess was like adding a ferocious tiger shark into stagnant water, adding vitality to the already thriving situation in Dajin.

"Aunt, are you still playing with the Ling family girl today?"

The emperor, who was immersed in his work, mentioned this casually. Yan Pei perked up and said in a soft voice:

"Your Highness is very interested"

This sentence is very sophisticated. It only says that the goddess is interested instead of being too good to the Ling family, which satisfies the emperor's little arrogance and comparison.

Li Yue nodded, and Yan Pei was about to report the goddess's movements in the past few days, but a sudden knock on the door diverted their attention.

"Your Majesty, the abbot of the White Horse Temple wants to see you. He said he found a record about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

The mysterious Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

How can one not be curious about a Bodhisattva who can be compared with the great master of the goddess aunt?

Li Yue stood up in shock, clenched his fists, and hurriedly ordered him to come in.

The abbot of White Horse Temple is named Shihai, which means that the world is like a sea of ​​suffering. As he is able to gain a foothold in the capital and accept offerings from devout believers, Shihai naturally looks attractive.

His long snow-white eyebrows fell down to his cheeks, but his face was rosy and shiny, and at first glance he looked like a high monk.

The old monk tremblingly bowed to the emperor, and Li Yue waved his hand to ask him to spare the formality.

The "Abbot" Emperor looked at him seriously and said bluntly, "You said there is a record of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, is it true?"

Shihai nodded without fear.

Since he made up his mind to establish a relationship with the goddess, he mobilized all the forces of Buddhism and wrote letters to old monks living in seclusion in temples in various places, asking for records about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

It is learned that a true God has appeared in the world, although he has not yet officially ascended to the throne and is currently experiencing tribulations in the human world.

Those monks who had been practicing hard for decades could no longer sit still when they heard that only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was mentioned.

After digging three feet deep into the ground, the hard work paid off and finally found it.

The old monk who discovered it immediately brought it to the capital and handed it to Shihai with eager eyes.

Thinking of other people's expectations, Shi Hai encouraged himself and said, "Your Majesty, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is called Bodhisattva, but he is actually a Buddha!"

"Oh," Li Yue said in surprise. He had done his homework before. There are various levels of attainment in Buddhism, including Arhat, Bodhisattva, Buddha, and Lord Buddha, one level after another.

Shihai recalled the deeds of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the records, and with admiration on his face, he said slowly:

"This Bodhisattva was once a disciple of the Buddha and could have become a Buddha long ago. But one day, he saw thousands of ghosts wailing in hell and could not be saved. He vowed not to become a Buddha until hell was empty!"

If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha!

What a great vow, what a great mercy.

Li Yue was shocked, muttering to himself, this Bodhisattva sounds good, why haven't I heard of it before.

The other palace servants who were listening silently in the hall were touched and remembered this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, secretly wanting to go and pay homage to him.

Shihai clasped his hands together and continued:

“But how can hell be empty? There are always people who commit sins and fall into punishment. Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s merits are equal to those of Buddha, he always uses his Bodhisattva body to save the suffering people.”

After Shi Hai finished speaking, he closed his eyes and said nothing, imagining that the emperor would eagerly ask him about the deeds of other Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas.

He could then ask to see the goddess.

But Li Yue just asked curiously, "Why is this Bodhisattva's name not well known?"

Shihai's expectations were broken, and he patiently answered, "It was precisely in order to fulfill my oath and keep my promise that I deliberately concealed my merits and few people knew about it."

When Shihai first saw the record of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he could not help but be moved by his great merits and wisdom.

All people in this world seek is fame and fortune. It is already difficult to vow to suffer and save suffering beings, let alone not publicize their own merits.

After listening to it, Li Yue sighed for a long time, picked up his pen and enthusiastically recorded the deeds of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and asked Shihai for revisions from time to time.

It was not until the old monk’s years of hard practice were almost broken that the meditation was finally accomplished.

"Take it down and deal with the matter of Black Emperor Zhuanxu together."

Li Yue was very happy that he had found another big boss who was not interested in fame or fortune and was low-key.

Shihai: mmp...

Inside Fengyang Palace, the system is reporting excitedly:

"Host, the Tibetan King Sutra that you asked me to secretly put away has been found. As you expected, the Buddhist sect regards it as a treasure and has handed it over to Li Yue."

There are no such coincidences in the world. If you want to find the deeds of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you can find it as long as you try hard.

Little do people know that too many coincidences often represent human factors, but desires blind people's minds and make it difficult to see through them.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, holding up his head and said, "It's worth the time I spent setting up this plan. The Buddhist sect reacted quite quickly."

They spent so much money to plan the trip to the underworld, so of course they wanted to maximize the benefits.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the bait to lure people into Buddhism.
