There was a faint smile on Shen Ci's face, but his eyes contained endless despair and sadness.

Perhaps this kind of pain has long been engraved in his bones, making him subconsciously learn to hide his emotions.Shen Ci's smile is very beautiful, not like a child's innocent beauty, but with a charming charm.

Jun Yao walked up to Shen Ci, and hugged Shen Ci in his arms.

They looked at each other silently, and said nothing tacitly to each other.Jun Yao's body was very cold, but at this moment Shen Ci felt that Jun Yao's body was extremely warm.

After a long time, Shen Ci took the initiative to put his arms around Jun Yao's neck, then slowly raised his head and said:

"Mr. Jun, will I go to hell after I die?"

"No." Jun Yao replied flatly.

"Then will I enter the Western Paradise after I die?" Shen Ci asked again.

"No." Jun Yao still answered negatively.

Shen Ci tilted his head in doubt, puzzled and said:

"If I don't go to hell or go to the Western Paradise, where will I go after I die?"

Jun Yao sighed, raised his hand to caress Shen Ci's cheek and said:

"As long as I live in this world, you will not die."

"Then will I grow old?" Shen Ci said.

"No." Jun Yao replied.

Shen Ci's eyes widened, with mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know what to say for a moment.When he was a child, he didn't understand the meaning of a contract, and he instinctively wanted to live, so he made a contract with Jun Yao to live and die together.

He didn't realize it until now, the years will not stay on him, he can no longer be called a human being.

From ancient times to the present, immortality has been the dream of many mortals, but Shen Ci is not happy in his heart.

For some reason, when recalling that part of the memory about the underworld, he suddenly had an illusion of wanting to be relieved.

Death is the only way of liberation, and the liberation he wants is not just death, but disappearing from this world forever.

Jun Yao couldn't figure out what Shen Ci was thinking, so he had to hold his hand and walked in the opposite direction to Tie Shulin.

The city of Fengdu sees no light all year round, and the endless darkness digs out the ugliest side of people's hearts.

Eighteen levels of hell correspond to eighteen kinds of torture.Each 'layer' of hell is not divided into levels, but is distinguished according to time, degree of suffering, and area size.And those who commit serious crimes will be thrown into the endless hell and will never be reborn.

After walking in silence for a long time, Shen Ci's mind was very confused, and fragments of memories kept appearing in his mind.If it were an ordinary person, he would have been driven crazy by the constantly emerging memories.

Shen Ci was not much better than ordinary people, he stopped suddenly, then tugged on Jun Yao's sleeve, his face was pale and he begged:

"Mr. Jun, my brain is broken. I don't want to stay here anymore, I...I want to go home."

Jun Yao reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Shen Ci's eyes, and regretted bringing Shen Ci into the underworld.There are still three hours before the rooster crows, if he goes back now, he will definitely collide with the ghost general of the underworld.

Judging from the degree of memory restored by Shen Ci, this child is likely to have been tortured in hell.Shen Ci shouldn't have recalled the memories of the past, but because of his carelessness, the child recalled the memory of being tortured in hell.

"Ci'er, do you want to delete this part of the memory?" Jun Yao tentatively asked.

Shen Ci was trembling with pain, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his lips were bitten to cut blood several times.He raised his arm weakly, looked at Jun Yao pleadingly and said:

"think."

"Deleting memory has certain risks, and it is very likely that you will lose all your memories in this life. Even so, are you willing?" Jun Yao looked at Shen Ci solemnly and said.

Shen Ci nodded without any hesitation, then pointed to his chest, then pointed to his head and said:

"My head hurts, and my chest hurts too. Mr. Jun, I can't bear it. Please help me."

Even ghosts and gods can bear the pain of bone erosion, let alone Shen Ci with a mortal body.

Looking at Shen Ci's pale face, Jun Yao couldn't help wondering what kind of mistake Shen Ci had committed and why he was punished so severely.

After Shen Ci was reincarnated as a human, the underworld still refused to let him go.Not only opened up the Yellow Spring Road for him alone, but also sent a large number of ghost messengers to catch him back to the underworld.

Thinking of this, Jun Yao sighed deeply.He can't delete Shen Ci's memory about the underworld, but there is one place where all the troubles in the world can be cleared, that is the No.19 hell in the underworld - the Hall of Bliss.

Ordinary people cannot enter the Hall of Ultimate Bliss after death. Only eminent monks who have studied Buddhism, or warlocks who have cultivated the Dao but have not ascended to the top, can enter the Hall of Ultimate Bliss after sitting down.

These people don't need to be tortured in hell. After entering the Hall of Ultimate Bliss, they will be cleared of the spells they have cultivated in this life, and all their memories will enter the path of reincarnation.

Jun Yao is in a dilemma. He doesn't want Shen Ci to suffer, but if Shen Ci enters the Palace of Bliss, he will be noticed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

"Help me, Mr. Jun, my head is broken, it hurts—it hurts! Please, help me!"

Shen Ci held his head in his hands, tears streaming from his eyes.

For a moment, he seemed to see himself being tortured over and over again, as his tongue was cut off by the tongs, his eyeballs were gouged out by the awl, and he was thrown into a sea of ​​knives and flames.

He wanted to be free, but he couldn't die no matter what.Every once in a while, his body would return to its original state, and then endure endless torture again.

Shen Ci was so tormented by the pain that he became unconscious, and finally his legs gave way and he fell down.Jun Yao picked up Shen Ci by the waist, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

Now there are only two choices before him, either take Shen Ci to the Hall of Bliss and clear all his memories.Either return to the world with Shen Ci, and face the siege of the underworld and ghosts.

Jun Yao looked down at Shen Ci's face, and saw Shen Ci moaning in pain in his arms.Those clear and energetic eyes gradually lost their focus, and passed out from the pain.

He originally wanted to extend Shen Ci's life for another ten years, but he did not expect Shen Ci to recall his memory in the underworld.Even if he returns to the world with Shen Ci, Shen Ci will fall into painful memories and will no longer be able to live a normal life.

"Ci'er, I'll take you to the Palace of Bliss." Jun Yao made up his mind and kissed the tears at the corners of Shen Ci's eyes.

The Hall of Ultimate Bliss is located on the lower level of the Dao Saw Hell, and it is harder for mortals to enter than to ascend to heaven.Jun Yao cultivated the Dao, so he was not recognized by the Dao of Heaven, and after coming to Fengdu City, he was not restricted by the laws of the underworld.

Jun Yao carried Shen Ci to the front of the Hall of Bliss, and saw a little novice standing in front of the door of the Hall of Bliss, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to them:

"Amitabha, Lingqing Immortal, this is not the place for you, please go back."

The little monk was dressed in a moon-white robe, with six circular scars on his head, and held a string of maroon rosary beads in his hand.

Jun Yao was startled, did Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha already know that he would bring Shen Ci to the Hall of Bliss?

The little novice seemed to have seen Jun Yao's thoughts, recited the Buddha's name, held the rosary with one hand and said:

"Lingqing Immortal Venerable, you have violated the rules of heaven by taking mortals into the underworld without permission. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva thinks that you are the first offender, so he will spare you, don't be ignorant of good and evil."

"Little master, the person in my arms is my wife, please show mercy and save him." Jun Yao said.

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful. Immortal Lingqing, do you know that the person in your arms has committed a heinous crime. Even if the poor monk deletes all his memories, he will be rejected by the world, and he will be wiped out in the end." The little novice put his hands together and said .

Jun Yao's eyes widened after hearing this, and he looked at the little novice monk in disbelief.

"All fruits originate from causes, and all retributions originate from karma. Immortal Venerable Lingqing, the encounter between you and Shen Ci is a sinful fate.

He blocked the last catastrophe for you, and you extended his life for ten years.The karma has already been paid off, so why are you so obsessed with extending his life for another ten years?

The poor monk knows that you have injected the inner alchemy into Shen Ci's body, and also knows that you have signed a contract with Shen Ci to live and die together.Immortal Venerable Lingqing, are you willing to hand over Shen Ci to the poor monk, the poor monk can release this contract for you, and will not pursue your mistakes anymore. "The little monk said calmly.

"I don't want to." Jun Yao said firmly.

"Shen Ci's crimes are serious. If you forcibly take him out of the underworld, you will end up like him. It is not easy for you to practice Taoism. In a hundred years, you will turn into a horned dragon. Don't waste a thousand years of Taoism for a short-term gain.

Immortal Venerable Lingqing, the poor monk will ask you again, are you willing to leave Shen Ci in the underworld? "

The little novice had a loud voice, and his whole body exuded golden Buddha light.Jun Yao hugged Shen Ci and knelt on the ground, looked firmly at the little monk and said:

"I don't want to, I don't regret it."

"Amitabha Buddha, the world of mortals is ten feet tall, and there are many trapped beings. Although the benevolence is small, he allows me to be merciful."

As soon as the little novice finished speaking, a golden light fell on him, and his figure gradually grew bigger, finally turning into the appearance of an old monk.The gate of the Hall of Bliss opened slowly, and a giant white dog came and lay down in front of the old monk.

"Ksitigarbha King Bodhisattva!"

Jun Yao looked at the old monk in surprise, and the old monk looked at Jun Yao with compassion.

"Lingqing Immortal, you are willing to make a bet with the poor monk. If the poor monk loses, the poor monk will forgive Shen Ci and stop pursuing the sins he committed. If the poor monk wins, Shen Ci You must fall into the endless hell and cannot be reborn forever, and all your Taoism will be abolished, and you can only enter the animal realm for three reincarnations."

"What are you betting on?" Jun Yao asked.

Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha squeezed the rosary in his hand and said sharply:

"Betting on whether Shen Ci, who has lost his memory, will repeat the same mistakes and break the balance of all beings in the Three Realms."

All living beings in the three realms complement each other, what did Shen Ci do to make Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fear his existence so much.

"Is the crime committed by Shen Ci related to the check and balance of the Three Realms?" Jun Yao asked.

"Yes." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva replied.

"Since the Bodhisattva gave Shen Ci a chance to be reincarnated, why didn't he let him go?" Jun Yao asked.

"Because his fate is like this, Buddhism can't save his nature. Even if he loses all his memories and enters the six realms of reincarnation, he will still repeat the same mistakes and destroy the Three Realms.

Immortal Venerable Lingqing, are you still willing to bet with the poor monk? " Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.

"Yes, but I have a request." Jun Yao said.

"Tell me," Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.

"Please Bodhisattva withdraw the order to hunt down Shen Ci!" Jun Yao said.

"This is natural, but the poor monk needs to remind you. As long as Shen Ci lives in this world for a day, he will be rejected by the world, and he will no longer be able to live like a normal person.

Losing his sense of direction is just the beginning. After a few years, his five senses will disappear and he will become a complete useless person.

You sign a contract with him, although you can make him immortal.But for a mortal who has lost his five senses, living in this world is meaningless. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva folded his hands together and said.

"Is there no solution?" Jun Yao asked.

"No solution, this is his fate." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.

Jun Yao looked down at the unconscious Shen Ci, then wiped the tears from Shen Ci's eyes with his sleeve and said:

"There is always a time limit for a bet."

"The time limit is ten years." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.

"Okay, I am willing to make a bet with Bodhisattva." Jun Yao said.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded, and then a pale pink lotus flower appeared out of thin air in front of him.Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva squeezed the lotus with his hand, and then waved slightly in the direction of Shen Ci, and the color of the petals instantly turned black.

"The poor monk has cleared all of Shen Ci's memories, and now he is as ignorant of the world as a blank sheet of paper. It's almost dawn, take him back." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said.

"Thank you Bodhisattva."

Jun Yao picked up Shen Ci and stood up, bowed respectfully to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and then left the underworld with Shen Ci.

The white dog lying next to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sat up straight, and then said:

"Just let them go?"

"Listen carefully, get it calmly, lose it calmly, let nature take its course, and strive for what is inevitable. That child's nature is like this. Even after suffering all the tortures in hell, he still holds his breath and refuses to admit his crime." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Wang sighed.

"The Bodhisattva has a kind heart, and he has listened carefully and received instruction."
