The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 109: One Word Decides the Underworld (Subscribe)
Before his tenth reincarnation, Master Tripitaka was the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, Jin Chanzi.

Now that he has the merit of obtaining the scriptures, he is named the Sandalwood Merit Buddha of Buddhism.

In terms of status and merit, this mage is definitely qualified.

But are his temperament and methods really enough?

Many people present were skeptical, including the Buddhist monks who had just learned about this matter, and they all looked at each other in confusion.

The reason why Ksitigarbha can hold the power in the underworld is because this Bodhisattva himself is a ruthless person, not because of the compassionate heart of a Bodhisattva!
When everyone was puzzled, the Jade Emperor shook his head, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "When Emperor Yin gave up the power of the underworld and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took over, it was the result of a joint agreement among all parties.

Now there is only the Buddhist sect, how to decide?"

After hearing this, the Buddhist monks no longer cared about their previous doubts and became worried and anxious.

Because the two most important concepts in Buddhist teachings are cause and effect and reincarnation.

Only when the power of the underworld is in the hands of Buddhists can they spread Buddhism without any worries.

Buddha Tathagata and Guanyin Bodhisattva fell silent, as if they didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Interesting, interesting." Sun Wukong sat on the right, watching the changes in the expressions of the people present as if he was watching a fun event.

What the Jade Emperor said just now was very clear, but in fact there was another hidden meaning.

At the beginning, all parties forced Emperor Yin to give up the power of the underworld and let you, the Buddhist sect, take over. Now that problems have arisen, you still want to easily send someone else to take charge?

How can anything in the world be so cheap!

Moreover, the true body of Yin Tianzi in the upper realm, the Emperor Ziwei, now has the strength of a great master. How can he allow himself to be oppressed by all parties?

Although many people present knew about it for the first time, and there was a previous agreement among all parties involved, everyone was smart and could certainly understand the other meaning.

A senior immortal official stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Emperor Yin can continue to hold the power of the underworld."

"I second the proposal!"

"I think so too!"

All the immortal officials and generals who were accompanying the emperor came out to agree.

Seeing this scene, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerables and Arhats chanted Amitabha again.

Tathagata, however, became serious, raised one hand and said, "Good, although this matter is the fault of our Buddhist sect, I still ask the Great Heavenly Venerable to prioritize the order of the Netherworld, the Three Realms, and the overall situation!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva continued, "Your Majesty, please consider the overall situation."

This time it was the Jade Emperor who fell silent.

The top of the snowy mountain also became quiet.

Sun Wukong scratched his hands. What’s the overall situation?

Although he couldn't figure it out, he could still see the situation clearly.

The atmosphere didn't remain silent for long before the Jade Emperor said in a deep voice, "Since you raised the problem, how do you think we should solve it?"

Everyone knew who was being asked, and their eyes turned to the Buddha on the left.

Tathagata said solemnly: "Amitabha, our Buddhist sect has always been headed by the Great Heavenly Venerable."

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly, but looked to Sun Wukong on his right and asked in a questioning tone, "You are the one who brought this up. Tell me what to do?"

Hearing this, everyone was caught off guard.

No one expected that the Emperor of Heaven would actually throw the problem to Beiji Lingming Mingzun.

You know, Sun Wukong said publicly that he would no longer be a Buddha, which was equivalent to drawing a clear line between himself and Buddhism.

And in the final analysis, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's possession of the devil and passing away are related to the Great Sage.

The many immortal officials and generals present looked at each other. They felt that even if Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Tripitaka Master were still kind to Sun Wukong, and even Tathagata still recognized his position as the Fighting Buddha,
But in the eyes of the monks, this great sage has already gone against Buddhism. Asking him to come up with a solution is clearly a move to suppress Buddhism.

Thinking of this, all the immortals dared not speak.

The Buddha Tathagata looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva without saying a word.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was still admiring Tathagata's shameless ability in his heart, and was a little surprised when he suddenly heard the Jade Emperor's question.

However, he was not panicked at all.

"Hehe..." The Monkey King blinked his eyes, already having a plan in mind.

After all, the system's last mission summary had already revealed that Tathagata was planning to let Master Tang take over the authority of the underworld.

Seeing so many eyes converge on him, Sun Wukong bowed to the Emperor of Heaven on the main throne and said, "Your Majesty, since the Netherworld Wheel is related to the order of the Three Realms, then who will wield the power of the underworld should be chosen carefully. Otherwise, the loss of justice in the Land of Reincarnation will be a serious problem."

Everyone looked at each other, as if they hadn't heard anything.

Only a few people understood, and this Great Sage probably already had a solution.

That’s why we need to use the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva to lay the groundwork.

The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice, "Don't beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say."

Sun Wukong also put away his smile and said seriously, "If the underworld wants to be fair, it can't be a one-man show.

Old Sun believes that the Yin Emperor and the Buddhist sect can jointly govern the underworld, and at the same time ask the Queen Mother of the Underworld to send someone to oversee the order of the underworld."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

The Buddhist monks were not only shocked, but also angry, helpless, or secretly resentful.

The immortals in heaven who were accompanying him were all amazed.

Let Ziwei Emperor, who is already a person with great supernatural powers, rule the underworld together with Buddhism, and bring in Hou Tu Niangniang, who created the underworld. How can Buddhism refuse?

Especially since the Tathagata Buddha just said that everything is centered around the Great Heavenly Venerable!
Sure enough, the Jade Emperor looked at the Tathagata Buddha again and asked, "What do you think?"

The Tathagata Buddha raised his palm and after a moment of silence, he said, "Great!"

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said slowly, "According to the request of the Northern Lights Venerable, I will order the Yin Emperor and the Tripitaka Master to jointly govern the underworld, and the Great Wu Yi to oversee the order of reincarnation in the underworld."

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately understood.

It turns out that the Emperor of Heaven already had a plan in mind and had even discussed it with the Queen Mother Hou Tu!

Even those who don’t know much about the ancient times know that Dayi was the best archer who once shot down nine suns in a row, and he was of the same clan as Hou Tu Niangniang.

So even if Ling Ming Tian Zun didn't say it, the Emperor of Heaven would have arranged it this way.

But when someone else says it first, the meaning to each party is always different.

Taibai Jinxing, who was standing by, felt emotional in his heart that the Monkey King had really changed and had even mastered the art of being an official.

This ability to read people's expressions is almost surpassing his.

What was played this time was exactly the same as what the Emperor of Heaven had thought.

It is obvious that although His Majesty just refused, since he came here on a western tour, he must have come to solve the problem of the vacant power in the underworld.

Otherwise, it would have been brought up last time when we were overturning the case for the Dragon King of Jinghe River in the Lingxiao Palace.

Finally, the Tathagata Buddha bowed slightly and said, "This old monk will obey the order of the Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Regardless of what they thought, the Buddhist monks could only follow suit and bow: "We will obey the order of the Heavenly Emperor!"
