However, it is said that the Monkey King was entrusted by the Demon King Peng to go to the Lingkong Sky Realm to look for his nephew, the Purple-Eyed Peng King.

Because recently, there had been a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the Great Victory Kingdom in the Northern Ming Heaven Realm, and they had been fighting frequently, which had caused a lot of disputes. The Monkey King went to deal with it, and it took some time.

On this day, he finally freed up his hands. He had just left Beiming Palace and was about to head to Lingkongtian Realm.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me calling out, "Monkey, why don't you say hello when you see someone you know?"

The Monkey King turned around and saw a Taoist in green clothes and a middle-aged follower riding a cloud towards him. The Monkey King felt that the man looked familiar. His golden eyelids blinked rapidly and he took a closer look before he recognized the man's identity.

"Master Tang, I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Turns out it's my good friend who has come!" The Monkey King stopped the cloud light, brought the Taoist in green in front of him, and greeted him.

"I heard from Kunyu that you were in seclusion. How come you have time to come to Beiming Heaven Realm today!?"

Although the Monkey King did not have a pair of flaming eyes like his seventh brother, he was, after all, a demon god who had achieved Daluo, so he still had some good eyesight. Naturally, he recognized that the person in front of him was not Tang Song himself.

The Taoist in green was the incarnation of Gonggong, one of the twelve ancient witches of the Tang and Song dynasties. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "If I have nothing to do, can't I ask you, a monkey, for a glass of wine?"

"Haha, you are a Taoist who suits my taste. Of course you are welcome. Come to my place and I will provide you with plenty of drinks!" said the Monkey King with a smile.

Gonggong smiled when he heard this and said, "But what you said is not wrong. I never visit Sanbao Palace without a reason. This time I went to Beiming Palace because I want to discuss something with the Emperor!
By the way, a few days ago, I met the Emperor's nephew in the Honghuang Star Region. He was being hunted by a Buddhist Bodhisattva, so I saved him and brought him here!"

The Monkey King's eyes lit up, and he looked at the Purple-Eyed Peng King who was following Gong Gong, and immediately laughed out loud, "Brother, this saves me a lot of effort!"

The Monkey King did not hide anything and told Gonggong that the Demon King Peng had asked him to find the Purple-Eyed Peng King.

Gong Gong smiled and said, "This is fate..."

The Monkey King questioned the Purple-eyed Peng King again and learned the whole story of the incident.

Purple Eyed Peng King was ashamed: "Uncle, my brothers, disciples, and even my descendants, all died or scattered. I was lucky enough to survive with the help of the seniors."

Although the Monkey King and Peng Demon King, the Emperor of the North Sea, are sworn brothers, he is not familiar with his adopted nephew, otherwise he would not have failed to recognize him.

After the Monkey King comforted the Purple-eyed Peng King with a few words, he sent him to the Peng Demon King, and then took Gonggong to his cave to drink.

"It's been over two hundred years since we last met. Let's put everything else aside and have a drink first!"

After saying this, the Monkey King didn't wait for Gonggong to answer, but pulled him to his own cave. Gonggong didn't want to refuse, so he had to follow him.

When the Demon King Peng arrived, he saw Gonggong and the Monkey King, each holding a jar of wine and guzzling it.

"Fellow Taoist Tang!"

The Demon King Peng looked at Gonggong, who was behaving in a heroic manner in front of him. While greeting Gonggong, he was thinking about the purpose of his visit.

"Emperor!" Gonggong stood up and bowed to the Demon King Peng, the Emperor of the North Sea. The two exchanged some courtesies.

The Demon King Peng was naturally grateful to Gonggong for saving the Purple-Eyed Peng King.

After some pleasantries, the two men sat down and Gonggong told them the purpose of their visit.

What he said made both Peng Demon King and Monkey King change color.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has passed away!?"

"Brother Dao, where did you hear this from?!"

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Gonggong shook his head and told the two people the story of the underworld after slightly modifying it.

"Po Xun is indeed a demon king who can fight with Sakyamuni Tathagata, but I am afraid that Buddhism will not let it go after Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva passed away!" The Monkey King took a fairy fruit from the long table and took a few bites, with golden light flashing in his eyes:

"I just don't know why Lady Pingxin would help Xuehai. When the leader of the Styx was here, the Asura clan and Lady Pingxin didn't have much friendship?"

The Monkey King is a well-known saint of the three realms, and he has sharp eyes and ears. If it weren't for the Lady Pingxin's spell to cover up the netherworld, the death of Ksitigarbha would not have been hidden from this monkey.

Demon King Peng's eyes were deep and his expression changed as he digested this shocking news.

"When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva passed away, fellow Taoist was in the underworld!" Demon King Peng stared at Gonggong with his golden eyes.

Gong Gong shook his head and said, "My other incarnation is now in the netherworld. Speaking of which, there is some affinity between me and Lady Pingxin. To be honest, the extinction of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is also related to me!"

"Oh?!" Gonggong's blunt words surprised the Demon King Peng, and he subconsciously looked at the Monkey King.

The Monkey King blinked and looked at this "Daoist friend" from outside the domain.
As the saying goes, when a goose passes by, it leaves traces behind. Tang Song and Yanfu ran such a huge business that they even involved the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea and the Guanghan Palace. Over the years, Baoqingfang sold all kinds of rare treasures that were unlike anything in this world.

Peng Demon King, the Emperor of the North Sea, is in charge of such a vast heavenly realm. He is certainly not deaf or blind.

It had long been guessed that Tang Song was not from this world, and Tang Song had no intention of concealing it. In recent years, the gifts sent to Beiming Palace every year included many rare items from outside the domain.

However, both parties just tacitly understood each other and did not make it clear.

But now, after hearing what Gonggong said, they both began to doubt their previous speculations.

Could it be that the Taoist Tang in front of him was not from outside of Jambudvīpa, but an ancient hermit? However, how could one explain those exotic treasures sold in Baoqingfang and Nanhai Market?

"Then why are you here, fellow Taoist?" Demon King Peng's thoughts turned billions of times in an instant, and he looked at Gonggong with a little more attention.

Gonggong sighed, "Since the fall of Heaven, the three realms have been in chaos. Your Majesty intends to end this turmoil and rebuild Heaven!"

"What, rebuild the Heavenly Palace!?"

Gonggong's words surprised both Peng Demon King and Monkey King again.

"Fellow Daoist, this is exactly what Lady Pingxin said. The matter of re-establishing the Heavenly Palace is so important, how could the Buddhist and Taoist families let it go?"

Demon King Peng didn't care about anything else and asked directly.

Gonggong said slowly: "That's why Ksitigarbha passed away. I think after suffering this, the Buddhist sect will agree to the Queen's re-establishment of the Heavenly Palace!"

“Huh!” Peng Demon King exhaled: “My queen may have miscalculated this time. Fellow Daoist, you may not know that Buddhism has always acted in an overbearing manner. The life and death of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a bearing on the rise and fall of Buddhism. How can Buddhism let it go after his death?
Based on my understanding of Buddhism, I am afraid that after hearing the news of Ksitigarbha's passing, all the Buddhas in Lingshan will come out in full force to level the sea of ​​blood!"

"Clear the blood sea!" Gong Gong laughed and said, "If the blood sea and Bei Ming Tian Jing join forces, and with the support of Lady Ping Xin, do you think that the power of Buddhism alone can really flatten the blood sea?!" When Demon King Peng heard Gong Gong's words, he suddenly raised his head, and two golden lights seemed to shoot out of his eyes: "What do you mean, our demon clan and Asura Dao join forces, is this Lady Ping Xin's intention!?"

Gong Gong shook his head gently: "No! This is what I mean!"

Gonggong looked directly at the Demon King Peng without showing any weakness, and their eyes met in the void.

"Don't you think the Emperor can understand the affairs of the Great Victory Kingdom and the Purple Eyed Peng King? Buddhism and Taoism have coveted the Northern Ming Wuliangtian for a long time. Do you think that Buddhism or Taoism will watch a piece of fat meat and do nothing?"

The Demon King Peng naturally understood the plots of the Buddhist and Taoist families. Otherwise, the two families would have clashed in the demon clan's territory of Wuliangtian in the North Ming Dynasty.
This is tantamount to the non-aggression treaty signed between the non-neighboring Soviet Union and Germany. Unfortunately, the demon tribe is now in decline.

Even though he knew that Buddhism and Taoism had bad intentions, Demon King Peng could only close his eyes and pretend to be ignorant. Even when his nephew King Purple Eyed Peng suffered a great loss at the hands of Emei, he endured it again and again and did not dare to easily use the excuse of starting a war with Buddhism and Taoism.

Hearing Gonggong's words, Demon King Peng frowned and said after a long while: "Buddhism is so powerful that even if my demon clan and Asura Demon Sect join forces, I am afraid we can only resist with difficulty. If Taoism gets involved at that time..."

Gong Gong said, "Your Majesty, you forgot that there is still me. I, Tang, don't have any special abilities, but I have accumulated some wealth outside the domain and made some Taoist friends. I can barely be of use!"

"Oh, what you said, fellow Taoist, does it mean that your strength can surpass that of Buddhism and Taoism?" Demon King Peng said in surprise.

The Monkey King also looked at Tang Song with surprise and suspicion.

Gong Gong shook his head and laughed, "Your Majesty thinks highly of me. I mean, with the combined strength of the three of us, even if we cannot defeat Buddhism and Taoism, we still have the capital to overturn the table.

Whether it is Lingshan or Taoism, as long as they don’t want Yamafu to be destroyed, they can only negotiate with us!
Calculating the time, the Buddhas of Lingshan and the Taoists should be here. I came here to invite the Emperor to visit the Netherworld!"

"A guest has arrived. I didn't expect that in this period of time, the Netherworld has become a popular place!"

On the top of Yinshan Mountain, Tang Song, along with Ms. Death and a group of Asura demons, walked out of the Ksitigarbha Temple.

Bo Xun looked at the auspicious cloud coming towards the Netherworld and sneered, then said to Tang Song.

Tang Song looked at the slowly approaching auspicious clouds with a smile without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking in his mind.

The auspicious cloud seemed to be moving slowly but was actually fast. In a moment it crossed the boundary between Yin and Yang and arrived in the netherworld.

Auspicious clouds with a radius of a thousand miles covered a seven-treasure golden tower. Under the tower, there was a nine-tier lotus platform. A big-bellied Buddha with a smile on his face sat on the lotus platform, with a group of novice monks guarding him on his left and right. Under the lotus platform, there was a row of lotus platforms on each side.

Tang Song looked carefully and saw that those sitting on the lotus pedestals were all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
The Buddhas of Lingshan had just appeared in the netherworld. All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas demonstrated their own spiritual attainments, with Buddha’s light and auspicious clouds appearing above their heads.

Golden lamps emitted billions of rays of light, and auspicious clouds covered the sky. The seven treasures of Buddhism were also emitted from the seven-treasure golden pagoda, and the relics were hung high. The Buddha's light shone everywhere, and for a moment, the entire netherworld was illuminated.

The netherworld that was originally dark and deep, shrouded in black fog and dotted with phosphorescent lights, suddenly became bright and clear, without a single shadow.

Even the sea of ​​blood, which was originally bloody, seemed to be covered with a layer of Buddha's light when illuminated by the Buddha's light. The sea of ​​blood, which was just surging with waves, seemed to have turned into a huge and boundless piece of red jade at a glance.

In the City of the Dead, outside the Ghost Gate, and on the Yellow Spring Road, there were already countless ghosts queuing up. When illuminated by the Buddha's light, the confused expressions of these ghosts became extremely pious, and they all knelt devoutly in the direction of the Buddhas of Lingshan Mountain.
Finally, they threw themselves into the seven-treasure golden pagoda and transformed themselves into monks and novices, chanting and reciting around Maitreya Buddha.

The originally bustling and crowded City of the Dead was suddenly emptied by the Buddha's light.

Even many ghost messengers, ox-headed and horse-faced demons, and the Black and White Impermanence put their hands together and chanted Buddhist scriptures.
"Humph! These Buddhist monks are so arrogant!"

On top of the Yinshan Mountain, a group of Asura demon kings saw that even many of their Asura people were converted by the Buddha's light, and they jumped up and down, wishing they could fight with these bald donkeys.

Lustful Heaven, Indra and others wanted to display their magical powers to suppress the Buddha's light that filled the sky.

However, Boxun waved his hand to stop them, and his eyes fell on Tang Song.

"Fellow Daoist, Ksitigarbha has passed away. Now the Buddhas of Lingshan have descended into the netherworld. What do you think?"

Tang Song looked at the boundless golden clouds in the distance that were dyed by the Buddha's light, as if he had no idea how powerful the Buddhist Buddhas were coming.

“Even if the Buddhas of Mount Lingshan came here, what does it matter? Ever since the goddess Pingxin sacrificed her life to reincarnate, the six realms of reincarnation have continued endlessly, and that is why Jambudvīpa is so prosperous today.

No matter how powerful the Buddhist sect is, they still dare to go to war with us in this netherworld and destroy the six realms of reincarnation!"

Tang Song looked at Maitreya Buddha who was looking down at him hundreds of millions of miles away, and said in a heavy tone: "Ever since Ksitigarbha came to the netherworld and occupied Yinshan, he has been acting recklessly and opening the door to Buddhism.

Over the years, Buddhism has secretly transferred countless disciples to reincarnate with their past life wisdom. If this continues, the six realms of reincarnation will be disrupted.

For the prosperity of the Yamafu Heaven, we have no choice but to resort to drastic measures to restore order!
The wise men in the three realms will surely stand on the side of the righteous path like us!"

"Ah?" Tang Song's righteous words stunned all the Asura Demon Kings.

What? I'm on the right path!
Even Boxun's gaze towards Tang Song became a little strange.

"How dare you, you daring monster, to deceive people and speak nonsense here! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great vow to save evil spirits, which is a great merit. How can I allow you to spread rumors here!"

Tang Song's remarks angered the Buddhas at Mount Lingshan. The Buddha or Bodhisattva who was not good enough in meditation showed anger on his face.

Many monks, samaneras, and Dharma protectors who served the Buddhas jumped out and pointed at Tang Song, shouting and cursing at him.

There is no shortage of talented people in Zen theory in Buddhism, but when it comes to the ability to curse people, well.

Those who are qualified to serve beside the Buddhas at Lingshan are all accomplished monks and Buddhist arhats who have cultivated their minds and bodies.

He would not tell lies in front of Maitreya, the Buddha of Buddhism. He kept pointing fingers at Tang and Song, which was nothing more than accusing him of slandering Buddha and he deserved to go to the eighteen levels of hell.

"Good, good. This demon is cunning and changeable. I'm afraid he is the anomaly that the teacher mentioned!" Maitreya Buddha looked at the Yinshan Mountain and stared at Tang Song across the air.

Tang Song did not take the scolding of the Buddhist monks to heart. He just looked at the Buddhas sitting high on the lotus pedestals, and estimated the difference in strength between the enemy and us.

There are twelve Buddhas, more than a hundred Bodhisattvas, and more than a hundred thousand Dharma protectors in Lingshan!
If they joined forces with the Blood Sea, they would not be afraid of the Spirit Mountain. He turned around and looked at the two natal swords in Hela's hands beside him.

The two swords that Hela had just swung out made him feel a little itchy. He just didn't know if he, as a Heavenly Emperor, holding two natal swords, could defeat Maitreya Buddha, the World Honored One of Lingshan.

Well, probably not, unless he recalls the incarnations of the twelve ancestor witches and sets up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, then maybe he will still be able to fight.

Tang Song was thinking in his heart that the Buddhas of Lingshan were unscrupulously using their magical powers to save the souls of the underworld, but this had angered one person.
