Journey to the West Bandits: The Poor Monk Just Wants to Be a Godfather

Chapter 357 Leaving the Underworld
In Cuiyun Palace.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is sitting on the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform, with Lord Ma standing next to him. Behind him is a very familiar ghost from Tang San's burial.

Kou Hong!

Sun Xingzhe explained: "Master, during the time when you went to see Empress Houtu, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva went to Judge Cui and found the soul of Kou Yuanwai and brought it back."

"I didn't expect this old boy to survive hiding under the Naihe Bridge."

Kou Hong looked at the people in front of him with fear on his face. Only when he saw Tang Sanzian's figure appeared did he relax a little.

At least in his opinion, Tang San was a good person.

No matter how he said it, he kept him at home for half a month, and there was some kindness in it.

Tang Sanzun asked: "Outside the bandits, who were you killed by?"

Kou Hong said with an ugly face: "Holy Monk, I'm ashamed to say this. I never thought that it would be difficult to guard against a thief!"

"The person who killed me was the steward of Nakou Mansion, Assi!"

"But you saw it with your own eyes?" Tang Sanzian asked.

Kou Hong nodded: "Holy Monk, it rained heavily that day. The old man begged the thieves, asking them to leave some coffin books for the old man. But the thieves not only refused, but also set fire to all my Kou family property. .”

"The old man was so anxious that he went up to fight with the thief and unintentionally pulled off his scarf. Unexpectedly, it was the housekeeper Asi."

"It's a pity that I died before I could say anything..."

Kou Hong looked remorseful and seemed to be blaming himself.

That Asi was just a member of the lower class in Tianzhu. It was because of his cleverness and ability that Kou Hong made an exception and made him the housekeeper of the Kou Mansion.

But who would have thought that because of his kindness, he would cause such a disaster.

Tang Sanzian nodded and said to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "Ksitigarbha, you see I am still suing for life up there. Lao Kou is a good man. The poor monk has eaten his half-month fast."

"For my sake, how about you extend his life for another year?"

"This……"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hesitated for a moment and seemed to be in a dilemma: "Takers, this Kou Hongyang has reached the end of his lifespan. If he increases his lifespan at will, I am afraid it is against the laws of the underworld."

Tang Sanzian's face suddenly darkened: "What kind of law can't be enforced? The poor monk just saved the underworld."

"If you feel embarrassed and have to take responsibility, you should write an application to extend Kou Hong's life now."

"You report it to me and I will approve the note. If someone is blamed, I, Tang San, will bear the blame alone!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

Regardless of Tang San's current strength, or his apparent identity as a Buddhist scripture seeker, these words indeed carry weight.

Even if one day Heaven and Buddhism want to investigate the accounts of the underworld, it will be fine.

Again.

Such a big thing happened in the underworld today. Ancestor Styx revived with the Sea of ​​Blood, and this time he was able to settle all the bad debts of the past years!

King Ksitigarbha turned to Lord Ma and said, "Little Ma, go and get the diary of the Book of Life and Death from my Cuiyun Palace!"

"okay!"

Soon, Prince Ma walked in holding a pamphlet in his left hand and a writing brush in his right hand.

After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took it, he opened the Book of Life and Death and wrote Kou Hong's name on it.

Behind the name, it is also clear that Yangshou has 12 years left.

Sun Xingzhe asked curiously: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, when I, Sun, made a big fuss in the underworld, why didn't I hear that besides the King of Hell, you also have a book of life and death here?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva explained: "The Book of Life and Death in the King of Hell controls the reincarnation of all living beings in the world. My branch of the Book of Life and Death controls the reincarnations of people related to Buddhism."

"In other words, this book of life and death of yours is used by Buddhism to gain access to the back door?" Tang Sanbian couldn't help but curled his lips.

Sure enough, the old saying is true, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Unexpectedly, people turn into ghosts after death. Where there are ghosts, there is no way to avoid being humane!
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked embarrassed and coughed twice: "Buddhism is all like this. People like me who are recorded in the book of life and death will not have the jurisdiction of the king of hell in the future." "Little horse, please pay attention, wait until 12 You go to the Kou Mansion after the new year!"

Lord Ma nodded respectfully: "Don't worry, Bodhisattva, I will definitely handle it myself."

Kou Hong hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Tang San Burial.

"Thank you to the two holy monks for extending my life. When I return, I will definitely build a golden body for these two holy monks and pray day and night!"

Tang Sanzong waved his hand: "It's not necessary, but there is something here that I really need you to deal with after you go up."

Kou Hong was confused: "Holy monk, please tell me, I will definitely do it!"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that your wife and the housekeeper of your Kou Mansion insist that it was the poor monk who killed you and robbed the Kou Mansion's treasure..."

"Don't worry, Holy Monk, I will definitely give Holy Monk his innocence!" Kou Hong said hurriedly.

Tang Sanzian nodded: "Okay, this poor monk is in a hurry, so I won't stay here for a long time!"

The master and the disciples took the bandits outside and got into the Humvee.

Before leaving, Tang Sanzong suddenly stuck out his head and said: "Ksitigarbha, six-eared macaque, I have a hunch that the day when you will be born is not far away, so make preparations early!"

……

at the same time.

In the dark space on the nineteenth floor of the underworld.

Po Meng's figure appeared quietly.

"Empress, why don't you just let Tang San's burial disrupt the journey to the west? If he chooses to follow the way of heaven and end the journey to the west at Lingshan, then you will have no hope of rebirth."

Po Meng's face looked a little anxious.

Ever since Empress Houtu transformed into the Queen of Wheels, there has been no strong person in the Wu Clan who can carry up the important task.

As the witch who has followed Empress Tu for the longest time, Po Meng also chose to become a member of the underworld in order to wait until the empress revives one day.

Now that she finally had the opportunity, she didn't understand why the empress became indecisive at the critical moment.

"This Tang San is no longer the destined scripture seeker. He has some kind of power that I can't see through. Even I can't force him to do anything."

Empress Houtu's voice was still erratic, and Po Meng couldn't help but frown and said, "Could it be that the changes in Tang San's burial were also part of Hongjun's plan?"

"No, Hongjun cannot control the fate of Tang San's funeral."

"I am incarnated in the six realms of reincarnation. No matter who they are, I can vaguely see the past and present lives of all the creatures on the ancient land, but I can't see through Tang San's burial."

"He does not belong to our world or our era!"

"Although I didn't ask him to break the calamity of Journey to the West, I can see from his heart that he is dissatisfied with this era, and Journey to the West has been in chaos."

Hearing this, Po Meng was silent for a moment and then asked, "How sure is your Majesty about him?"

"Five points."

Po Meng sighed: "I am only [-]% certain. Your Majesty, you are too confident."

"The five points I'm talking about are the confidence that he can completely deal with Hongjun and Tiandao."

Po Meng's face suddenly changed: "Deal with Hongjun? He...he is just Taiyi Golden Immortal. The battle between him and Ancestor Minghe just now seems to have used some kind of secret method, and it cannot last..."

"If you want to deal with Hongjun, I'm afraid I'm a little optimistic."

"So I'm only five points sure."

"Since Hongjun entered heaven, no saint has been born in the ancient world. If there is anyone who can break Hongjun's sanctions, then only those who escape from this world can have a chance."

"And Tang San is the one who jumped out!"

"Let's wait and see."
