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

Chapter 33: Get Paper and Pen
The death of the Dragon King of Jinghe River was obviously a joint plot by the Heavenly Court and Buddhism.

After the divine teacher Yuan Shoucheng made a bet with the Dragon King of Jinghe River, the Heavenly Court immediately issued an order to make clouds and rain.

There is no such coincidence in the world!
When the old Dragon King violated the Heavenly Rules, Heavenly Court issued an order to the human official Wei Zheng to kill the dragon in his dream.

And Wei Zheng happened to be the prime minister of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin.

In the end, the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe River led to the King of Tang's visit to the underworld, making Buddhism the biggest beneficiary of this calculation.

"If we investigate this case, we might be able to see what's going on between Heaven and Buddhism!" Sun Wukong had an idea in mind, and then he checked the record of the Jinghe Dragon King in the human book.

After he calmed down, he saw new words appearing on the thin booklet in front of him.

"The Dragon King of Jinghe River in Southern Jambudvipa, a true immortal, governed the continent's favorable weather and abundant harvests. He enjoyed the incense of the human race and achieved immortality. He later died at the hands of the current human official Wei Zheng and never achieved reincarnation."

"One year old, born in the Northern Wasteland, when the dragon race was declining..."

"Two thousand and one years old, he helped Dayu control floods and dredge the Yellow River..."

"Two thousand two hundred years old, he leaped over the Dragon Gate at the Yellow River Dragon Gate Assembly, gained a little bit of true dragon blood, and became the Dragon King of the Jing River..."

"Two thousand five hundred years old, the Human King Dayu personally appointed him as the Chief Administrator of the Eight Rivers..."

"At the age of 3,524, the Heavenly Court bestowed upon him the title of Great Dragon God of Rain..."

"At the age of 5,180, the God of Destiny changed the Southern Dipper's Death Record from immortality to death before birth, destined to be killed by the hands of the human Cao."

Seeing this, a gleam of light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes.

Sure enough, the Jinghe Dragon King’s Book of Life and Death of the North and South Dipper had also been changed!

And the Heavenly Court is indeed involved!

The Star Lord Siming is the leader of the six stars of the Southern Dipper and has plenty of opportunities to change the Southern Dipper's Death Book.

However, Sun Wukong believed that this guy was definitely not the mastermind.

As for who the mastermind is...

"Then we have to go to Heaven and investigate carefully!" A fierce light flashed in the Monkey King's eyes.

"Huh? No!"

Suddenly, he saw a place in the Book of Life and Death that he had not noticed before.

“Not yet reincarnated?”

The Dragon King of Jinghe River has been dead for fourteen years, and it is time for him to be reincarnated.

But if the soul is scattered and there is no way to be reincarnated forever, then the book should record that the soul is scattered.

Therefore, the soul of the Jinghe Dragon King is still somewhere!
"Interesting, interesting." Sun Wukong scratched his face.

He understood that there must be some secret.

However, this matter is related to the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so it should be investigated with caution.

Just as I was thinking about it, the system's voice suddenly sounded.

[Congratulations on completing the mission: Check the Book of Life and Death. Do you want to proceed with the mission settlement?]

"Yes!" Sun Wukong said silently in his heart.

Mission Summary: You summoned the Emperor of Fengdu and, using the tactic of leveraging his opponent's strength, successfully gained access to the Book of Life and Death. This resolved your doubts and led you to realize that using your brain is sometimes more effective than using your hands.

[Task Rating: Perfect]

[Quest Reward: Arrow Path Fragments*3, Hunyuan Absolute Spirit Formation]

"Oh, a sealing formation?" Sun Wukong quickly checked the reward and immediately understood that this was the formation that sealed the Book of Life and Death.

"This is such a stupid system! I've already finished reading the Human Book before you give me this reward. What's the point of this formation now?"

Afterwards, he did not delve into it too much, but instead had an idea, and his record appeared again in the Book of Life and Death, and he pretended to check it carefully.

Although he had just checked so much, not much time had actually passed, which was consistent with his careful review of his own experience.

The Monkey King's face turned into a sneer again, and he said to Ksitigarbha in the distance: "Old monk, come and see for yourself whether I have wronged anyone!" Ksitigarbha opened his eyes, sighed lightly, walked closer to take a look, and naturally saw the record of King Qin Guang entering Sun Wukong's life span into the Big Dipper's birth book.

"Amitabha, good, good." He chanted the Buddha's name with a complicated expression and said no more.

"Nothing to say?" Sun Wukong said sarcastically. "Let's go find that bird and ask him for clarification!"

Then he pulled Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva back to Senluo Palace.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva remained silent. He first raised his hand and made a gesture to reopen the seal of the altar, and then left with them.

……

Back at Senluo Palace, King Qin Guang, King Yama and the other ten kings of hell were all waiting respectfully.

"Old Sun is back again." Sun Wukong sat down on the throne of the Lord of the Underworld in the hall without any courtesy, looking down at Ksitigarbha and the Ten Kings of the Underworld.

The Ten Kings of Hell looked at each other and were all very cautious at this moment.

Among them, the King of Hell, Qin Guangwang, had an expression of panic that was difficult to conceal. He looked to Ksitigarbha for help, but received only a silent response.

At this moment, a sharp gaze from above fell on King Qin Guang.

"King Qin Guang, you are so brave!" Sun Wukong sneered.

This sneer seemed to have the power to shake off the soul and kill. King Qin Guang was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed desperately: "Great Sage, please spare my life, Great Sage, please spare my life!"

"Spare my life?" Sun Wukong's eyes were like arrows, "Even if I wanted to spare your life, I'm afraid others wouldn't!
I am Taiyi Jinxian, who has lived as long as the sky. How dare you change my life and death book and steal Taiyi Jinxian's soul?

Tell me, within these three realms, is there anyone whose soul you dare not seduce?"

"I, I..." King Qin Guang was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.

The other nine kings of hell also became frightened, fearing that they would be implicated.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva frowned but still said nothing.

"Bring me paper and pen!" Sun Wukong suddenly said again.

After hearing this, everyone who was terrified just now was stunned.

Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva became confused.

What do you need paper and pen for? There is no book of life and death to mark for you.

Finally, the judge Cui Jue in the hall looked around and quickly took out a piece of paper and pen and presented it.

Sun Wukong glanced at him, and then began to write under the astonished gaze of the crowd.

"King Qin Guang, Lord of the Netherworld, reports to the Jade Emperor: I have recently been inspired by the Monkey King Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, of the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, and have repented of my past sins.

This humble official has arbitrarily altered the Book of Life and Death of the Monkey King Sun Wukong, and issued a soul-snatching order, ordering the ghost messenger to forcibly retrieve his soul.

This is an act of disrupting the order of the underworld and threatens to cause chaos in the cycle of reincarnation.

I, a guilty minister, am terrified and confess my crimes today. I hope that the Holy Lord will make a judgment, bring down His divine power, sort out the yin and yang, and bring eternal peace to the underworld.

"I obey!"

When the pen was put down, everyone in the hall had finished reading and looked at each other in surprise.

Even King Qin Guang himself was a little confused. What was going on?

Of course they knew that this was a memorial to the Jade Emperor, but the content was clearly a petition of surrender!
Is this the Monkey King?

I've never seen such a trick!
Ksitigarbha's brows were even more furrowed.

I thought Sun Wukong would lose control of his anger and do something impulsive.

But no one expected that this once lawless monkey would be so calm. Not only did he not take action, but he also wanted to make the matter public!

This is a serious problem and cannot be covered up.

There is no room for maneuver!
