Me and countless me.

Chapter 225: The Great Sage of Settlement Appears for the First Time

"Is this still Huaguo Mountain? What have you done to me?"

The moment Sun Wukong woke up, he felt terrible because he saw countless strange things here!
There were bloated corpses that looked like the bread invented by my senior brother, and passers-by with their bodies broken into pieces. In short, none of them looked like a human.

So for Sun Wukong, there are only two words now.

Confused!

"You're already dead. Let's talk about you. Ah, you're a cultivator who didn't sign up, but now you're arrested, right? Let's see if you've done anything bad. If not, we'll just detain you in the underworld for 15 days. Don't worry, these 15 days are basically just a tour of the underworld, and it won't interfere with your affairs in the human world."

Because of Li Ke's new policy, Li Ke took into consideration the fact that some people were meditating and practicing. That was why Black and White Impermanence were so polite to Sun Wukong.

Of course, this was also because Sun Wukong had a light and ethereal aura, without any bloody murderous aura at all. It was obvious at first glance that he had never eaten any intelligent life, otherwise he would not be so polite.

However, for Monkey, he had just said in front of his brothers that he was not afraid of King Yama, let alone the newly appointed emperor. If he was really detained here for fifteen days, how would his brothers view him in the future? How would his bragging end?

I'm afraid I'll lose face in front of my brothers!
Sun Wukong, who thought he had never lost face since he was a child, became increasingly angry. Coupled with his fear of death, he lost his composure for a moment.

The reason why he went out to look for immortals was because of the fear of death. Now, even though he has cultivated to become an immortal, his soul was still taken away by the ghost from the underworld. If it were not for his successful cultivation and his Dharma body and spirit, wouldn't he have become a prey to others and would have to go to reincarnation for no reason?

The fear of death, the desire to prove that he had escaped death, and the love of face, all of these burst out in Sun Wukong's heart.

So Sun Wukong sneered.

"What? Can't you see that I have jumped out of the Three Realms and am no longer in the Five Elements?! If you know what's good for you, let your grandpa Sun go!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong's vicious nature had been aroused, so King Yama, who was sitting in the main hall, frowned and slammed the table.

“Who are you, Your Highness? How dare you make a noise here! Your life span has ended. Although you are practicing, you do not obey the laws of the Son of the Underworld. Even if I throw you into reincarnation, it is reasonable! I have shown you mercy outside the law, but you do not thank the Son of the Underworld and are shouting wildly here, roaring in the court! Believe it or not, I will send you to the hell of tongue-pulling now!”

King Yama's verdict was well-founded. After all, this was a feudal society, so roaring in court was a very serious crime. Even in modern times, roaring in court would result in a heavier sentence.

Therefore, according to the laws of the underworld that Li Ke has not yet completely revised, King Yama can really send the monkey to the hell of tongue-pulling.

However, how could the monkey bear such injustice!

They dragged him to the underworld for no apparent reason, imprisoned him in the underworld for no apparent reason, and then said they would send him to the hell of tongue-pulling!
You think his practice as Sun Wukong is fake, right?

Sun Wukong broke free from the chains on his body, and his Dharma body shone with golden light, illuminating the underworld with golden splendor. He instantly saved half of the residents of the City of the Dead, and all the ghosts, big and small, looked at him in horror.

King Yama was even more bewildered. He had no idea how such a powerful person could not be on the list!

Even if someone becomes an immortal instantly after taking the elixir, they are all registered! The bosses above will also register them directly! How come there is still a wild Taiyi Jinxian!
You must be kidding!
Sun Wukong sneered, took out his golden cudgel and pointed it at King Yama.

"My senior brother once said something! Today, I, Old Sun, will give it to you! And that damn Yinshi Emperor behind you!"

But before King Yama could say anything, Sun Wukong shouted out.

"I was bullied before I became an immortal! I am still bullied after I became an immortal! My cultivation has been in vain! Watch me get beaten!"

As he spoke, Sun Wukong jumped up and attacked King Yama. King Yama quickly dodged, but the table was still smashed to the ground by Sun Wukong in an instant!
For a moment, the entire underworld trembled, causing Li Ke, who was drinking tea and reading official documents, to tremble. The tea in his hand spilled onto the document he had just copied, directly contaminating the ink and wasting a page of paper.

Li Ke, who was buried in the documents, put down his teacup speechlessly and raised his head. Then he saw that half of the sky in the underworld was filled with golden light, and he was stunned.

So he directly pulled over the equally confused King Qin Guang, the agent who came to help revise the new underworld laws even though he was on duty, and asked him.

"What's going on? Is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva preaching there again?"

If it was Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Li Ke would not have planned to say anything, because Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is really awesome.

The time proportion of the Eighteen Levels of Hell is so exaggerated that you can imagine how terrible it is just by thinking about it. However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been working from the Eighteen Levels of Hell since he came to hell, persuading and teaching those evil spirits there, and maintaining their sanity so that they can escape from hell and reincarnate as soon as possible.

After all, the underworld is essentially a large labor camp, but without any output. What is important is punishment and education, so only the most heinous crimes will be sent to the eighteen levels of hell.

Li Ke thought that he did not have the ability to stay in the Eighteen Levels of Hell forever, but Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had such great perseverance, so if he was the one preaching the scriptures and helping to dispel the resentment of wronged souls and evil spirits, then he would have nothing to say.

Although he didn't understand why the other party cared so much about the bad guys, it didn't mean that Li Ke didn't admire the other party's perseverance and kindness.

However, before the acting King Qin Guang could even open his mouth, Li Ke knew it was not the case.

Because the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters were flying over.

It’s just not flying in the conventional sense!

"Your Majesty, be careful!!"

The acting King Qin Guang directly pressed Li Ke to the ground. The next moment, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons passed through the place where Li Ke had just been, and knocked into Li Ke's hall, leaving two human figures with ox heads and horse heads. Li Ke turned his head and found that these two people had an extra limb outline compared to ordinary people!

"Damn, the abilities of these two great immortals are so powerful..."

Li Ke couldn't help but admire, and then he saw a stick sweeping across, blowing his hall away, and the room where he stored the documents, stone slabs, and various tree barks and animal skins collapsed under this sweeping blow, and then burned fiercely under the illumination of the monkey's fairy golden light.

But the agent Qin Guangwang on the side couldn't help but remind Li Ke who was swearing.

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your demeanor, your demeanor..."

However, at this time, demeanor is the least important.

Because at this time, officials of all ranks and soldiers in the underworld didn't know whether to run away, rescue the emperor, or put out the fire to save those precious documents.

Li Ke was completely dumbfounded because of these documents!
He just sorted it out!!!

Although it hasn't been processed yet, he has already started to do it!
“Who the hell is that!”

Li Ke stood up directly, holding the seal of the Emperor of the Underworld in his hand, and was ready to send this bastard to the eighteenth level of hell!

He just got promoted! He was kicked out by someone, how can he survive in the future? !

Then, a voice that was obviously not beaten before appeared. "Hehehe! I told you to hook the soul of your grandfather Sun, let's see how you can do it now! My son! Hurry up and bring the Book of Life and Death! Let me, Sun, cross out my name and my brother's name, otherwise I will definitely use the iron rod in my hand..."

As he was speaking, Sun Wukong suddenly appeared beside the acting King Qin Guang, who wanted to run away with Li Ke, and then grabbed Li Ke by the collar with a ferocious look on his face.

Then the whole monkey was dumbfounded...

"Master, Senior Brother? Why are you here?!"

Li Ke also had a bewildered look on his face, because he was very sure that he had sent someone to tell Monkey that he had ascended to the throne as the Son of Heaven in the underworld, and asked him not to cause trouble in the underworld casually, but to report directly to the land god, so that it would look better if he followed the procedures.

After all, the most important thing for the Emperor of the Underworld is fairness, and he cannot break the rules.

But who could have thought that the monkey would still come!
"Sun Wukong! What are you doing!"

A thousand horses were running wildly in Li Ke's heart. He worked so hard on this matter just to prevent Sun Wukong from coming down to the underworld and causing trouble due to procedural issues, thus adding to his guilt.

Although it would be a good idea to let Monkey change the Book of Life and Death, this would be a mistake for his own brothers, and Li Ke was unwilling to do it!

But now it's okay!
Li Ke looked at the burning Book of Life and Death, looked at the monkey in front of him speechlessly, and grabbed the hair on the monkey's head with his backhand.

"Didn't I send someone to tell you three days ago that I became the Emperor of the Underworld? As my junior fellow apprentice, you should just go and register to avoid any problems. Why are you here?"

The monkey grimaced in pain, but when he heard Li Ke say that he was the King of the Underworld, a feeling of grievance suddenly surged in his heart, and he slapped Li Ke's hand away with his paw.

"Brother! You still have the nerve to criticize me! You know me well. How can you be the emperor but still not willing to make things convenient for your family? Your subordinates even said they would imprison me in the tongue-pulling hell! Brother! How are you going to explain this!"

Sun Wukong was also full of grievances. He finally saw his senior brother who was the best to him besides his master and had the same experience as him. Just when he wanted to reminisce about the past, he found out that it was his senior brother's men who arrested him. He could have deceived himself by saying that his senior brother didn't know about his situation, but now, his senior brother knew his ability! He knew his ability and still sent people to arrest him!
I told him that I went to seek immortals because I was afraid of death! It is impossible for my brother not to forget! But this happened anyway.

Sun Wukong, who was already full of anger, snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Li Ke was also speechless.

"As the emperor of the underworld, I must enforce the law impartially. How can I register if you don't go? What if someone impersonates me? And..."

However, Sun Wukong couldn't listen at all now. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Li Ke and said three good words in a row.

"Well, well, well! Taoist Li Ke! You enforce the law impartially! You have great authority! It seems that in your eyes, the brotherhood between you and me is far less important than the position of the Son of Heaven in the underworld!"

When Sun Wukong spoke, his eyes were red. He pushed Li Ke away and picked up the iron rod in his hand again.

"Okay! Since you enforce the law impartially! Then I will let you enforce the law impartially to your heart's content!"

Li Ke then realized that Sun Wukong's condition was almost exactly the same as that of a child who had reached his rebellious period, so he immediately stretched out his hand and wanted to stop Sun Wukong, looking like Erkang.

"wait!"

However, even if he grabbed Sun Wukong's shoulders, Sun Wukong's shoulders just shook and he fell to the ground.

Then, he watched with a subtle mood as Sun Wukong swept across with his iron rod, and those warehouses storing the ancient bad debts were completely reduced to ashes!
It really was just a moment, he didn't even have time to open his mouth, the enlarged iron rod smashed everything!

He laughed subconsciously, and even saw the Acting King Qin Guang laughing at the side, so his face immediately became serious, which made the Acting King Qin Guang, who was also laughing, suddenly change his expression and become serious immediately.

But the monkey didn't notice this. He just looked at Li Ke unhappily and stretched out his hand towards the judge on the side.

"Hey! Bring me the Book of Life and Death!"

The judge dared not disobey. After all, the monkey was the Taiyi Golden Immortal. To put it bluntly, even if he did not come, he would just be registering. It would not be good to offend such a big shot!
The monkey grabbed the Book of Life and Death, looked at Li Ke with the pen in hand, sneered, and his voice suddenly became louder, so loud that the Nine Netherworlds, Ten Earths, and Thirty-Three Heavens could hear his voice.

"You are unkind, but I, Old Sun, will not be unjust! We agreed to come to the underworld to rescue you, so I will come to the underworld to rescue you! I have changed your name in the Book of Life and Death!"

After saying that, the monkey, under the guidance of the judge, found his own name and Li Ke's name, crossed out Li Ke's name with two strokes, and then directly crossed out the monkey's name. Then, he threw the Book of Life and Death into the arms of Cui Pan, turned around and flew away.

Li Ke looked at the monkey going away, envying its cultivation level. At the same time, he couldn't help but shaking his head as he looked at the Yinshi Palace that was smashed to pieces by the monkey.

Monkey has obviously reached his rebellious stage and has become a typical will-o'-the-wisp teenager.

"Your Majesty, can this fire be put out?"

The acting King Qin Guang asked in a low voice, and Li Ke took a look at the remaining piece of animal skin and rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.

He held the Seal of the Underworld in his hand, which could put out fires and even repair things. However, after taking a look at the dark history of the gods on the animal skins, Li Ke shook his head.

"Write a memorial with me, saying that Sun Wukong modified his own book of life and death, and when he was causing chaos in the underworld, a ghost who should have been exterminated set fire to the storehouse in order to escape, causing chaos, and was beaten to death on the spot. But the previous documents have all been reduced to ashes."

Acting King Qin Guang was stunned for a moment.

"What kind of fire is so strong? And how could he be killed on the spot..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Li Ke rolling his eyes at him again.

Li Ke really didn't want to deal with these bad debts, because many of them were compliant in the past, and whether to investigate them or not was a problem.

Although there are indeed problems that can be found, if these are arrested, should those gods who fully abide by the previous heavenly rules be arrested? Should those gods who did not follow the new procedures when doing things in the past be arrested?

So some things are destined to be leveled, so let the gods give Sun Wukong some face.

So he spoke to the acting King Qin Guang.

"How about you catch this ghost that's trying to escape and deserves to be exterminated?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the acting King Qin Guang laughed out loud.

So, although the hall was smashed to pieces, the entire underworld was filled with joy at that moment.

Because of the bad debt, it was finally settled!
　In the early days after the monkeys had achieved success in their training, they were actually quite irritable...
