Vientiane Senro

Whether it was Kaguya Hime or Ji Qiu, they all went out to play on the Tanabata day because of the ship that caused a sensation in the capital.Because the black fox had a hand in it, compared with the context of the legends he had experienced before, this time the history turned into the opposite direction at a different intersection.

Youjunzi's appearance was both within Ji Qiu's expectation and beyond his expectation.He obtained the "Dragon Head Jade" in another world, and being able to meet Shuweng here this time verified his previous guesses from the side—he has returned to the beginning once again. The other world... Or, at the current point in time, the world he is in and the world in the book of friends have not yet reached the time to "fork".

His gaze paused for a moment on the silk painting beside You Junzi, Kaguya Ji had already left his side with the Void Demon, and he didn't mean to meet the goddess who is famous in Kyoto right here.He focused on You Junzi.

"Are you a ghost who escaped from the underworld?" You Junzi couldn't see Ji Qiu's expression clearly, but when he heard the guest's sudden words, the other party was already the same villain in his eyes. Ghosts merged into one.He overthrew his previous superficial guess about this person almost in the next moment, he stood up abruptly, and asked with vigilance: "Who are you!!"

The faint green flames floated from his hair and his clothes. If it wasn't among a large number of human beings, Ji Qiu didn't intend to make a move immediately. I'm afraid this ghost who was still handsome just now would be He has already used the explosion technique he is best at, his legs are off the ground, and his eyes are lit with cold will-o'-the-wisps. When he waved his hand, the scroll beside him rolled up automatically.

Ji Qiu pushed the mask away, he didn't make any strange noise, but when You Junzi felt his gaze fall on him, a solid oppressive feeling fell on his body, the fire was forced to go out, The cold breath faded away, Junzi You landed on the ground again, he finally began to show a panicked look: "Who the hell are you?!"

"I never knew that there are people like you in the underworld!" After all, there is an extremely deep city, and it was suppressed in an instant just now. The gentleman immediately calmed down, at least on the surface.

"Who said I came from the underworld?" Ji Qiu didn't care about You Junzi's guard. To be precise, he in the future had received a little help from this old ghost whose appearance had changed drastically. Smiling, with a calm posture, his demeanor is more elegant than that of the most noble nobles You Junzi has seen.He stared at You Junzi, which made the ghost think of the moment when the goddess of the underworld was inadvertently swept by him. He heard Ji Qiu say: "At first, I thought I just met an old friend, but who knows, unexpectedly I will also see the gods and Buddhas of the underworld at this time..."

Junzi You slipped his tongue and said, "What did you say?"

"Amitabha." The calm voice of chanting sounded on the right side of Junzi You, and he looked over there slowly, and what he saw was a very familiar and joyful face.This figure is not tall, but very handsome, with a red bib tied around his neck, a copper tin rod in his left hand, and a pearl in his right hand. He smiled at him: "Meet you again, Gentleman You."

The crowd came back and forth behind him, and he was hiding in this world of mortals, neither refined nor vulgar.He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and there was a quiet light like a slow stream in his eyes.

"Earth, Earth Store Bodhisattva..." You Junzi was really startled, he staggered back, and after a while, he asked bitterly: "How can I be... just a mere escaped evil spirit. "

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shook his head. His voice seemed to have always been so peaceful and gentle, as if he was not facing a fugitive who was being chased by soldiers from the underworld, but just the most common creature no different from everyone around him. The corners of his lips Smiling, not angry, "Don't forget," He gently reminded, "You didn't just escape from below alone..."

Junzi You's complexion changed immediately, the expression on his face was extremely complicated, with regret, determination, bewilderment, and even a hint of pleading flashed by, he took a deep breath and said: "Can't we let them go?" ?"

"I heard about you when I was in the underworld," You Junzi said with difficulty, "It is said that you are a kind and compassionate god and Buddha. You are willing to let children hide in your sleeves to avoid the persecution of ghosts. There are endless difficulties, and even if their merits are enough, they can be reincarnated again, but the days of waiting like that are really too difficult..."

"And such a rule is really a bit unfair to those children," You Junzi took the rolled up scroll, as if he could see the ghosts of those children playing: "It's not fair to die early." Their fault, even if their parents knew about it, they would not bear to torture their children like this, otherwise, why would they pray to you?"

"Please...let them go!" Junzi You pleaded, as if he was about to give a big gift, but Ksitigarbha stretched out his scepter to stop his next move.

"Amitabha," he didn't give any reply, he turned his head, smiled at Ji Qiu and said, "This benefactor, where do you come from?"

Ji Qiu didn't take it seriously, it was the future Ksitigarbha who had communicated with him in the past, and the current self was really just a strange god to him.

"I," he said with a light smile and a relaxed tone, "I'm just...a nameless god of the forest."

In Jizo's eyes, the aura around this self-proclaimed "Forest God" was pure and clean. Compared with those thick and majestic gods, it was clearly the vitality that only a newly born god would have.

Dizang didn't delve into it. He nodded and asked in a discussing tone: "Then, my friend who represents the forest, what do you think I should do? This ghost didn't just run away by itself, He also took away the souls of a hundred children who were practicing on the bank of the Santu River that day, this is a serious crime that violates the regulations of the underworld, how should I deal with him?"

"Didn't the Bodhisattva have already made his own decision?" Ji Qiu didn't give his own answer directly, as if he had seen through the intention of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, he smiled very calmly.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva remained silent.

"If you don't want to see You Junzi's true nature, if it's you." Ji Qiu's vision is much more thorough than that of You Junzi who is in the game: "It is impossible that he has not been brought back to the ground until now." .Some people are bright and bright, some people are duplicity, and sometimes even gods and Buddhas can't grasp people's hearts."

Ksitigarbha took a deep look at Ji Qiu.

"Actually," Ji Qiu said casually, his black hair fluttering slightly in the night wind, and his voice seemed to be tainted with his demeanor: "As long as he can accumulate merits for them for hundreds of thousands of years, that's enough. How is it different from your behavior of hiding the souls of those children in your sleeves?"

It's all about seeking happiness for those less fortunate souls.Dizang seemed to be shaking, he understood the true meaning of Ji Qiu's words, he recited a Buddha's name, and looked at You Junzi seriously: "A hundred years and a thousand years, are you willing to hold it?"

Junzi You was surprised in disbelief, he put on a solemn expression, and replied with the same dignity: "I would."

"It's not just merit," Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked again: "The soul has obsessions, and there are many thoughts in the world. In order to avoid degeneration, you are willing to realize the deepest desires in their hearts for all of them to become Buddhas." desire?"

Without the resolution of the rules of the underworld, ghosts in this world will eventually have an additional procedure of "becoming a Buddha".

"I wish." Junzi You said very seriously.His words come from the heart and are very sincere.

Ji Qiu thought of the old Mr. You whom he saw in the ghost market that time, and the last "daughter" left by his side... He smiled softly .

Another grand firework rose into the sky behind him, and the colorful fireworks in the sky were dazzling.

Today's Qixi Festival has come to an end.
