Chapter 70 Greed, anger and ignorance

After listening carefully, Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up and he became obviously excited. He laughed and said, "I'm familiar with this job. Don't worry, brother. I'll take care of it and get you help!"

Seeing the Great Sage about to leave, Chi Ran pointed at Yuan Shoucheng and asked, "Great Sage, what about this Taoist priest?"

Sun Wukong sneered, "I don't know where this fellow learned his cunning nature from. The one standing before us is just a paper figure!"

paper man?

Everyone was shocked, they couldn't tell at all!

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, the Monkey King!"

Lan Cai, who had transformed into Yuan Shoucheng, laughed heartily and turned into a paper figure out of thin air. When the wind blew, it caught fire and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, he left behind a message that carried with the wind, echoing in everyone's ears: "Wukong, Master has something to tell you. Keep moving forward, carrying the destiny with you. There will be help along the way..."

Bajie and Ao Lie looked at each other and were even more surprised.

When they were on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures before, they had heard the eldest brother show off his lineage, saying that he had worshipped the ancestor of Lingtai Fangcun and learned a complete range of martial arts.

But they have never known who Lingtai Fangcunzu is.

Today I finally met a fellow disciple of my senior brother. I didn’t expect that his methods were really not simple!
Sun Wukong's eyes were shining and he was not calm.

It’s destiny again!

Suddenly, the system's voice sounded again in his mind.

After the Jade Emperor learned of your rebellion against the Heavenly Palace, he immediately appointed Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, as the Great Marshal of Demon Subjugation and Nezha, the Third Prince, as the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly. He immediately led his army down to the lower world to attack the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

[Obtained Quest: Heavenly Soldier Expedition (You need to repel the invading enemies and ask them to officially recognize your title of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven)]

"Li Jing and Nezha were promoted only now?" Sun Wukong scratched his face, somewhat surprised. "Hey, then wouldn't I be the stepping stone for their father and son's promotion? I'll definitely make them pay some bribes in the future!"

Then he put this thought in his mind and looked at the task requirements that followed.

“This task is difficult!”

The situation now is different from that of the past. How could the Jade Emperor send heavenly soldiers to attack him again?
But on second thought, there is still a chance.

It would be good if this trip to the underworld goes smoothly.

If things don't go smoothly, I'm afraid we will encounter some unimaginable obstacles.

That's why he asked Bajie to go to the Heavenly Palace to deliver a letter to the Emperor of Purple Star.

After everything was arranged, the Great Sage rode his somersault cloud directly into the underworld.

This time, he changed his appearance again, and without disturbing the underworld, he went directly to the hell behind Yinshan Mountain.

"Although the Netherworld is vast, the most likely place to hide the spirit of the Jinghe Dragon King is right there!"

"Ksitigarbha is in charge of the underworld for the Buddhist sect. He is the highest official in the underworld today, and he is also a great master in the Primordial Realm. With him in charge of Hell, who would dare to go there and investigate thoroughly?"

"Hehe, this trip is to make a big fuss, so that everyone can see clearly!"

……

Cuiyun Palace is the residence of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the lord of the underworld, in the underworld, and is located on the edge of hell.

At this moment, Dizang was sitting cross-legged on the Thousand-Leaf Green Lotus Platform, listening to the report of the golden-robed boy.

"Bodhisattva, ever since King Chujiang became the Lord of the Underworld, and Duke Bingling of the Three Mountains became the King of Qinguang, and King Yama has been secretly colluding with the Emperor of the Underworld, the situation in the underworld has deteriorated significantly.

Lately, they've been constantly fighting for power, causing unrest in the various palaces."

Dizang's face was calm, and he said softly, "As long as we don't fight, there's no problem with arguing."

The boy in golden clothes was unwilling to accept this. He reported all this in order to let the Bodhisattva take charge and restore order in the underworld.

After all, in the past ten or twenty years, every time he went to the Ten Palaces of the Underworld, the Kings of Hell were very respectful to him.

But now it’s different. The King of Chujiang and the new King of Qinguang, Duke Bingling, don’t take him seriously at all.

Ksitigarbha saw what he was thinking and scolded him, "You have greed, anger, and ignorance in your heart. You should recite the Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita and observe the precepts, concentration, and wisdom!" The golden-robed boy stubbornly bowed and said, "That is not a Bodhisattva sutra. I want to recite the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra!"

Dizang's face was serious: "Heart Sutra, recite it!"

Upon seeing this, the boy in golden clothes dared not act willfully anymore and immediately recited the Heart Sutra.

Dizang then relaxed his expression and said softly, "Tong'er, it is never a good thing for one family to dominate. Only when these three parties fight each other can our Buddhist sect's position in the underworld be secure."

After hearing this, the boy in golden clothes gradually calmed down.

He knew that King Chujiang's position as the King of the Underworld was won by the Jie Religion.

Duke Bingling Huang Tianhua was a third-generation disciple of the Chan sect and the eldest son of the former ruler of the underworld, Lord Taishan.

The two sides are evenly matched.

There is also a King Yama, but he actually does not have the strength to fight against these two parties.

Because although that Yin Tianzi was the Purple Star Emperor among the Four Emperors in the upper realm, he was still far behind the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

At this moment, Dizang certainly knew what the golden-robed boy was thinking, but he did not explain too much, just sighed in his heart.

Many people overlook the fact that Emperor Ziwei is a deified being from the human race!
The human race is the protagonist of this world today.

Whether it's the Western Buddhist sect, the Chan sect, the Jie sect, or the gods in heaven, they all want to gain the faith of the human race...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Dizang frowned and stopped thinking.

The boy in golden clothes was also surprised when he saw the Bodhisattva frown.

Before he could ask anything, Di Ting, transformed into a human form, hurried in from outside the palace and reported, "Bodhisattva, Fighting and Victory Buddha just appeared in Hell and caused a great commotion."

Ksitigarbha immediately stood up and told the golden-robed boy, "Hurry to Lingshan and report to the Tathagata Buddha."

After saying this, he took Di Ting to hell.

……

On the other side, Sun Wukong first sneaked into hell, took the soul-calling talisman, and quietly explored inside, but found nothing.

But strangely, the soul-guiding talisman still points to hell.

In the end, he had no choice but to reveal his true identity in advance and prepare to investigate openly.

At this moment, the Great Sage was wearing a brand new cassock, with divine light radiating from his body, and walking around in various places in hell.

Looking closely, one can see that the eighteen levels of hell are all different, such as mountains of knives and seas of fire, tongue-pulling and skin-flaying, cauldrons of oil and ice, and pools of blood and Avici.

The same thing is that everywhere you look you can hear the screams of torture, which are so deafening and terrifying.

When the red-faced ghosts, black-haired ghosts, and the ox-headed and horse-faced ghosts who were carrying out the executions saw the Great Sage, they were all terrified and dared to surround him from a distance, not daring to go forward.

Soon, a thousand-petal green lotus platform, accompanied by peaceful golden light, descended from above hell.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is here.

He stood on the lotus platform, raised one hand and said, "I wonder why the Fighting and Victory Buddha came to my hell?"

Sun Wukong asked back, "Hey, your hell? Shouldn't it be the hell of the netherworld?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "Please ask Fighting Buddha to explain your purpose."

Sun Wukong, wearing a cassock, clasped his hands together and said, "Well, since you call me a Buddha, then I, the Buddha, would like to inspect the hell that you, the Bodhisattva, preside over. Is that not okay?"

The rosary in Ksitigarbha's hand stopped spinning, apparently he was stumped by the question.

Di Ting was also scratching his head. The Bodhisattva had been guarding hell for so long, but which Buddha had ever come to inspect it?

 There are so few comments, I’m so anxious... Big guys, please give me some votes to comfort me, thank you!
