I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 662 Human Spirit
Although Shengshan's strength was far from fully recovered after being burned by the Miscellaneous Family's red flame, he was still not someone that could be captured by two Netherworld ghost messengers.

The other party attacked directly, and Shengshan's temper also rose. He sneered, "Just right, I will catch you and bring you to the Buddha of Equality to be punished!"

He was the monk who dared to come out of the Nanda Temple and block the way for thirty-three days. Although his temper has been restrained over the years, his nature naturally did not change when encountering things.

He will not turn back from what he believes is right, even if he hits a wall. This is the 'stupidity' of the three poisons in Buddhism.

A terrifying statue of Bodhisattva appeared behind him.

This Bodhisattva was originally turquoise in color and nearly perfect, but under the burning of the red flames, its golden body was damaged, rotten bones emerged, and its flesh flowed down like a putrid abscess, which was terrifying to see.

As soon as the Bodhisattva statue made a move, the two ghost messengers from the underworld immediately knew that they had offended an important person. However, they could not tell that the other party was a Buddhist and only thought that he was a demon from the underworld. They immediately activated the magic weapon token in their arms and asked for help from the higher-ups.

Shengshan was not afraid either. He was originally a Buddhist and was naturally not afraid of confronting Buddhists. After capturing the two ghost messengers, he protected the old donor behind him.

He didn't have to wait long before he saw a ray of Buddha's light flying from the netherworld and transformed into a Bodhisattva holding a pen of judgment.

Shengshan recognized this person as the Bodhisattva of Conviction, one of the guardian Bodhisattvas on the left and right of the Buddha Equality.

He was just about to ask for accusation.

But the Condemned Bodhisattva spoke first, "What a vicious and foolish monk! Why don't you protect the monk from the East Sea to obtain the scriptures? Why do you come to my netherworld to arrest my ghost messenger?"

Shengshan was choked by this and cursed, "You evil messenger, you arrested a good man and made him suffer. I came to ask for accountability, but you still attacked me. Arresting him is the lightest punishment. I will go to the Buddha of Equality to reason with him and ask him for an incurable crime!"

The Condemned Bodhisattva laughed in anger, "Who are you? When people in the Yang world make mistakes, officials have to arrest them. What about the law of others exceeding their authority? You arrested my ghost messenger and disturbed the order of the netherworld. It is already a serious crime. How dare you ask the King Buddha for punishment!"

Shengshan could not bear this lecture any longer, and the Bodhisattva statue behind him swung out his huge palm, trying to catch the Condemned Bodhisattva.

However, the Bodhisattva of Conviction's own practice was no less than Shengshan's, and he was in perfect health. With a flick of the pen in his hand, the Netherworld Avenue gathered and formed a jet-black poison, which was directly applied to the huge palm.
This poison is a collection of the sins of the world, and even the golden body of the Bodhisattva cannot bear it, not to mention that Shengshan's own golden body is on the verge of collapse. He was heartbroken by this and realized that there is a huge gap between him and the Condemned Bodhisattva. This is the underworld and his home ground, so he did not dare to stay and set up a gust of cold wind to run to the world of the living.

The Bodhisattva of Conviction looked in the direction where Shengshan fled, but did not chase him. He returned to the Pure Land and came before the Buddha of Equality.

"Wang Fo, according to your order, the foolish monk has been sent away."

The Buddha of Equality opened his eyes and said to his attendants, "How could I not know about the corruption in the Netherworld? It is one of the three poisons in the world, and there is no way to cure it. If that foolish monk disturbs us again, from now on, anyone with a high level of cultivation will come to my Pure Land of the Netherworld to ask for punishment, and this Pure Land will no longer have to manage the Netherworld."

The people around him agreed deeply and nodded secretly.

But when Shengshan returned from the Netherworld, he naturally went to the world of the living to seek help.

He returned to the family's home, and the family's son came to him excitedly and asked.

Shengshan’s face turned pale and he didn’t answer.

Yuan Tong noticed something was wrong, and he moved closer, "Junior Brother Sha, are you in trouble?"

Shengshan didn't bother with the monkey's name at this time, and said, "I went to the netherworld and indeed saw the old believer's soul being detained in hell. I wanted to ask about it, but the two ghost officials turned the tables and blamed me. I was angry, so I arrested them and wanted to bring them to the Buddha of Equality to question them."

"I never expected that when the Condemned Bodhisattva came, he first scolded me without any explanation, saying that I had exceeded my authority to arrest his ghost messenger, and then he hit me with the judgment pen. It hurt so much that I had no choice but to run back."

Shengshan opened his palm and saw a dark blue area there, and the poison was still spreading. His golden body of a Bodhisattva was unstable to begin with, and if he couldn't control it, the entire golden body would be in danger.

Yuan Tong saw the seriousness of the problem and immediately became furious. "Good fellow, you really beat the younger one to come after the older one. This really pisss me off!"

He wanted to get up and go to the underworld to help Shengshan avenge his death.

A monk with a big belly next to him laughed and said, "Brother Sha, this is where you are wrong. The Condemnation Bodhisattva was right. If anyone had arrested the ghost messenger and brought charges, the Netherworld Pure Land would have closed down long ago!"

When Buddhism spread to the south that day, various forces divided up the quota, and the God-Slaying Division got two protectors.

One of them was given to Yuantong, the guardian of destiny. This was arranged by Tianzun.

The other one naturally gave the power of the Great Xia court, so the person who joined was also a veteran in officialdom, and was even more Zhu Bajie than Zhu Bajie.

But precisely because he is a seasoned veteran, he understood Shengshan’s problem the moment he heard it.

It is beyond one's authority to accuse someone and arrest him without convicting him. This is always a mistake. Even if the two ghost officials are found guilty, Shengshan will not be able to get away with it in the underworld.

Yuan Tong was already angry, and he cursed, "You idiot, you are lazy and greedy on weekdays, but today you are bullied by outsiders and you still speak up for them. You ate all the ginseng fruits and peaches and plums that I stole on weekdays for nothing!"

Jiang Deshu smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Monkey, what you said, how can a monk's work be called stealing? This is not right. Am I not helping you analyze the cause of the problem?"

"What's more..."

He looked serious. In this respect, he was more useful than Zhu Bajie, who often pretended to be stupid to avoid trouble.

"We have encountered disasters at every step along the way, and there are countless people plotting behind every step. Have you forgotten where we discussed our journey to obtain the scriptures?"

After Jiang Deshu asked this, Yuan Tong calmed down. It was said that their journey to obtain the scriptures was originally discussed in the underworld.

In other words, the biggest supporter of their team is the Buddha of Equality in the Underworld.

Whenever there was a disaster in the past, the Netherworld often came to rescue us.

But today was strange. Youming was using this little thing to cause them trouble.

Seeing that Yuan Tong had calmed down, Jiang Deshu continued, "Some things are not as heavy as a few ounces on the scale, but weigh a thousand pounds."

Seungsun calmed down a bit, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Deshu chuckled, "If the Condemned Bodhisattva really wants to make a big deal out of a small matter, you can capture the two ghost officials, have them apologize, find a pretext, or make a real play, and punish the two ghost officials. Then you can turn around and leave, and continue your quest for the scriptures, and the matter will be over."

"The Netherworld Buddha Kingdom has only lost two evil ghost officials, but the capture of good souls will continue. This is why the Condemnation Bodhisattva scolded you."

Yuan Tong also reacted, he clapped his hands and said, "It's been a disaster again!"

This small incident has really become a disaster, and they are now stuck in a dilemma.

"Amitabha." After listening to Jiang Deshu's explanation, the monk from Donghai sighed compassionately, "In the human world, good and evil are already indistinguishable. What should we do if the netherworld continues to reverse good and evil?"

"What should we do now?"

Jiang Deshu smiled and said, "First, let those two ghost officials out and ask them why they captured the souls of the good people and were punished."

Shengshan nodded and released the two ghost officials.

The result was unexpected, but also reasonable. Of course, he took the blame.

Originally there was a system in the underworld. At the beginning, everyone just wanted to reduce the punishment, but some people gave more and more and ended up escaping punishment. However, the crime of escaping punishment will not be eliminated, so someone has to take the blame.

The crimes in the netherworld are quite different from those in the world of the living. For example, in the world of the living, if you kill animals you will not be punished, but will only be morally condemned. In the netherworld, this is a serious crime. After all, the criminal law is set by Buddhism, and the sentencing of many things tends to follow the Buddhist tradition.

Since the crimes in the underworld are different from those in the world of the living, there is much more room for maneuver.

Everyone has some shameful things to do in daily life. Many things only weigh four ounces, but when weighed on the scale of the underworld, they weigh more than a thousand pounds.

So finding a crime, arresting the good guy, and then helping the bad guy take the blame, this is what the ghost messengers are most keen on doing recently.

After asking, the master and his disciples looked at Jiang Deshu, who was the best at handling this matter.

Jiang Deshu opened his mouth and said, "If you ask me how to deal with it, don't hit me after I tell you the answer."

After he said this, the others probably understood what he meant.

What? We met in private and I was fined three cups of wine. This will not happen again.

There are two roads on both sides. He has his Yangguan Road, and I walk mine.

"You useless thing!"

Yuan Tongchou scolded Jiang Deshu, then took out his Taixu Huanfu.

On that day, the Queen Mother used the Yanhuang Tongbao to drop down the Taixu Illusion Realm. Later, with the help of the merchants, the Taixu Illusion Realm and Zhou Tieyi's Mingyue System were completely integrated, forming a huge infinite network covering the entire Great Xia land, connected through the dreams of all living beings.

Although most people cannot directly enter the Taixu Illusion Realm, they can communicate wirelessly with a simple Taixu Illusion Talisman.

[Urgent! I encountered a ghost who wrongly accused a good person! ]

Within two seconds of him posting this, there were hundreds of thousands of people watching it.

He is the famous Monkey King, the man destined to seek Buddhist scriptures.

Then there are a bunch of bad ideas.

"Brother Monkey, go to their house and beat Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, no, King of Equality Buddha, until he kneels down and sings "Conquer". We all support you!"

"It's really too abominable. You're used as a consumable when you're alive, and you're used as a scapegoat when you die. If you meet someone like that, you should be beaten to a pulp and never reincarnate. If you can't do that, I despise you. I'll turn from a fan to a hater and I'll be a hater for the rest of my life!"

······
The network of this Taixu Huanfu Talisman is no less powerful than the previous one, and Yuantong doesn't want to find anyone here to ask for an answer. He just wants to make a big deal out of this matter.

Turning around, he opened his own small group and threw the question out.

One by one, the divers emerged.

In Zhongzhou, more than 20 years have passed. Now Yu Hong has achieved the third level of martial arts and is no longer the young boy he used to be.

Seeing Yuantong's question, he frowned.

This is definitely not a trivial matter, especially after Yuan Tong caused such a big fuss.

He did have someone who could help ask, so he sent a message to Hao Ren.

"Uncle Hao, how do we deal with this matter?"

In Yujing Mountain, Hao Ren, who was already a citizen, had some free time and saw the new problems caused by Yuantong. He was different from others because he was in charge of Yanhuang Tongbao, so he knew where the problem of Youming lay.

At the beginning, the adults allowed Youming to buy his way out. Today, this policy should have come to an end, but I don’t know how big a storm it will cause.

He thought about it, but ultimately did not reply.

Although he knew how to untie the knot, his identity prevented him from saying it.

Seeing that Hao Ren did not reply, Yu Hong thought that Hao Ren was busy and did not have time to look at the Taixu Illusion Talisman. He replied to Yuan Tong carefully, "Why not go to Miaoshan Bodhisattva to test the waters first?"

Others either knew the answer or didn't, and all gave Yuantong a similar answer.

After reading the reply, Yuan Tong couldn't help but laugh angrily, "In that book, the monkey was fooled around by the gods and Buddhas. Even if I read the book, I would still be fooled around. This Tianzun is really powerful. Will the future he sees definitely come true?!"

Before, Yuantong also wanted to add Miaoshan through the Taixu Huanfu, but this Guanyin Bodhisattva refused to do so. If she didn't add Yuantong as a friend, she would be so busy that her legs would break. If she added him as a friend, wouldn't she have to be a nanny 24 hours a day?

After Yuantong complained, he suddenly realized something.

Heavenly Lord!

With his level of practice, even if he is deceived, his spirituality will react instinctively. There are too many important people involved in this matter, but it will eventually lead to the Heavenly Venerable.

Just as Yuan Tong was thinking, Shengshan couldn't help but groan in pain. Under the erosion of the evil poison, his golden body was really about to fall apart, and the signs of the five signs of decline of the celestial being appeared on his face.

Yuantong suddenly realized that the poison given by the Condemned Bodhisattva was not meant to harm Shengshan, but to help Shengshan.

Otherwise, with Shengshan's temper, he would never ask Zhou Tieyi to apologize in his entire life, and this golden body would naturally never be healed.

Today I have a reason to go to Zhou Tieyi and ask him to answer for his crime. Only then will this foolish monk have a chance to be freed.

Yuan Tong sighed, they were all smart humans, and he, a monkey, was far inferior to them.

He grabbed Shengshan and said, "This toll for the underworld came from the Heavenly Lord, so naturally we have to settle this account with the Heavenly Lord."

After saying that, without waiting for Shengshan to refuse, he pulled Shengshan up and rushed towards Liangjie Mountain.

The Two Realm Mountain was where Zhou Tieyi fell and where all the gods were sealed. It was extremely mysterious, and even a second-grade master could not easily enter or exit.

The road leading inside is even more like an ocean formed by phoenix fire, a sky formed by thunder, yin and yang transforming unpredictably, and fascinating illusions everywhere.

This was because the holy powers of several gods were stolen by Zhou Tieyi, and then Zhou Tieyi's power was entangled with that of Daxia Taizu, so the holy power dissipated. Even though Yuantong had an almost indestructible golden body and extraordinary magical powers, it took him a lot of time to enter the Liangjie Mountain.

Once he entered the mountains, no matter how powerful he was, he would be transformed into a mortal again. Here, even the gods were just mortals, let alone him.

Fortunately, Yuantong knew the way and took Shengshan for more than ten miles of mountain roads. They saw a small mountain village, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with pavilions and towers, and looked like a paradise.
