Chapter 280: Hell
"Go to the Spirit Mountain Great Thunderclap Temple to study the Mahayana Buddhist Dharma."
"Go to the Ksitigarbha Hall to inspect the Book of Life and Death."
"Remain behind Yinshan to listen to the lecture on the *Ksitigarbha Ten Wheels Sutra*."
Ten pieces of information, each with different content.
Jiang Jian understood in his heart.
These trials were originally prepared for the Ten Yama Kings.
The other nine people had given up one after another.
He was the only one left participating in the trial.
In this way.
Regardless of the trial results or how he performed,
he was the only winner here.
"Bodhisattva Venerable."
Jiang Jian scanned the ten messages, and in an instant, he had a plan in mind. "I wish to go to the Yama Hell to chant scriptures and deliver the evil ghosts."
The Bodhisattva nodded and said, "With a heart of compassion, merit naturally arises."
He made no movement.
The space around Jiang Jian shifted in the blink of an eye.
When he regained his senses and looked around, he realized he had already arrived at the Yama Hell.
Everything he saw was a suffocating scarlet; countless Yaksha ghost soldiers shuttled back and forth, while sinful ghosts suffered endless torture, their miserable wails ringing out incessantly.
The Yama Hell consists of two prisons.
They are the Mountain of Knives Hell and the Wrongful Death Hell.
The hell before his eyes was precisely the Mountain of Knives Hell.
Cold, sharp blades were everywhere, their tips pointing upward, piled into a mountain and glowing with a piercing blood-red light.
Countless sinful ghosts, naked and wailing in pain, walked onto the mountain of blades.
As the sinful ghosts walked, their bodies were pierced through, their internal organs shredded by the sharp blades, their chests and abdomens ripped open, yet they still stumbled forward.
"According to the rules of the story world."
"All who kill out of delusion are cast into the Mountain of Knives Hell after death."
While pondering.
Jiang Jian walked forward, stopped beside a sinful ghost, and observed carefully.
This was a man.
His expression was numb, his face ashen; even though the blades pierced his soles, his face merely tightened, and he did not make a sound.
Jiang Jian thought for a moment and called out to him, "Stop."
The authority of the Wang Dian, his words becoming law.
As the golden light spread.
The man was forced to stop his steps.
Jiang Jian began to chant according to the *Ksitigarbha Ten Wheels Sutra* within the rules.
Streams of golden light emerged, shining clearly into the man's body.
This caused his remaining sins to rapidly diminish.
In just a few seconds.
The evil sins on the man were completely erased, his karma dissipated, and he returned to the appearance of an ordinary person.
He stretched out his hands, looked himself up and down, and could not help but reveal a look of surprise!
"Thank you, Wang Dian! Thank you, Bodhisattva Venerable!"
The man knelt on the ground, bowing respectfully toward Jiang Jian, his expression extremely devout.
With his sinful karma dissipated.
He could be reincarnated and live another life.
At the same time.
More and more sinful ghosts surged from all around, cowering outside the golden light, emitting distorted wails, but not daring to get too close.
"Wang Dian!"
"I beg the Wang Dian to forgive my sins!"
"Please, Wang Dian, chant for me!"
At this moment.
A Yaksha stepped forward and whispered, "Wang Dian, shall I drive them away?"
Jiang Jian waved his hand gently, his brow slightly furrowed.
After the attempt just now.
He discovered that chanting the *Ksitigarbha Ten Wheels Sutra* once could only deliver one evil ghost.
And now.
The number of sinful ghosts remaining in the Mountain of Knives Hell was in the billions.
Even more terrifying was that.
Every second.
New evil ghosts were being cast into the Mountain of Knives Hell.
If he truly followed the procedure and chanted for the sinful ghosts, he feared that even until the end of time, he wouldn't be able to deliver many.
If things continued this way.
His trial results would certainly be extremely poor.
Regarding the Buddhist Dharma.
Jiang Jian did not understand it.
The reason he chose to come to the Yama Hell to deliver evil ghosts.
was simply because he knew the story arc of the *Ksitigarbha Ten Wheels Sutra*.
The strange realm he was in was, after all, the Yinshan Strange Realm.
Among the ten different trials.
Delivering evil ghosts was the act that best fit the heart of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
In the story world.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once made a great vow.
Saying that until the hells are empty, he vows not to become a Buddha.
But everyone knows that the eighteen levels of hell will never be empty.
Therefore.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Venerable.
Until the end of the story, he never achieved Buddhahood.
"Emptying hell doesn't necessarily mean only chanting."
Jiang Jian raised his gaze, looking at the dense crowd of sinful ghosts before him, his expression calm.
"If we want to stop new sinful ghosts from entering."
"There is another way."
"And that is to abandon the eighteen levels of hell forever."
His idea was very simple.
It was to use special means within the story world.
To help Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Venerable achieve his great vow and attain the fruit of Buddhahood!
In this way.
If this matter came true, this virtual story world would certainly reach its true limit within the defined boundaries!
And his final harvest would be unimaginably bountiful!
