Chapter 173 Wherever you go, there will be obstacles ( words)
Seeing that Sun Wukong still insisted on going to Yingchoujian.

Even the always smiling Maitreya Buddha almost froze up and couldn't smile.

It seems like the previous words were spoken in vain.

"Why bother, Great Sage?"

"If you don't allow me, then don't allow me. I can't go to Yingchoujian. I'm going to Gao Laozhuang to take a look. You, the future Buddha, do you want to accompany me?"

"My Buddha is infinite!!"

Seeing Sun Wukong easily mention the name of Gao Village, Maitreya Buddha's heart skipped a beat, but he only uttered a Buddhist name.

When Sun Wukong saw this, he simply turned around and continued to fly westward.

But when Sun Wukong finally saw the shadow of Gao Laozhuang above the clouds after asking for directions several times, an old Buddha with a simple face and thin figure, exuding some unspeakable breath of life and death, blocked Sun Wukong's way again.

Sun Wukong had never seen this old Buddha.

But before the old Buddha could open his mouth, Sun Wukong could vaguely see the twenty-four Queens of Paradise behind the old Buddha through his golden pupils. He instantly understood who the old Buddha was.

It is the ancient Buddha Dipamkara, also known as the Buddha of the Past.

Not long ago, I just saw the Buddha of the future, and now a Buddha of the past has come.

They were both quasi-sages, and both had unfathomable potential for Buddhist enlightenment, which made Sun Wukong scratch his head for a while.

Buddhism has a very profound foundation.

These quasi-saint Hunyuan Buddhas kept appearing one after another as if they were free, just to protect the few people who were seeking Buddhist scriptures.

It would be better if he, Sun Wukong, were not to disturb us now.

It’s really amazing!
"I have seen the Buddha of the past. The Buddha came here to make me change my mind and not go to Gao Village?"

"My Buddha is immeasurable! The great sage's magical powers are so mysterious that they are self-evident. He is truly a natural-born son of Buddha."

Go to Nima!

You can even say this, I am a Buddhist?!

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and almost opened his mouth to greet the old Buddha. How could he have the nerve to be a slave of three surnames!
Aren't you really afraid that the Jade Purity Saint will find out the cause and effect and beat Yi Yu Ruyi to death?

As a member of the Chan Sect and a teacher of the Twelve Golden Immortals, you actually dared to lead the team in apostasy... You are so damn courageous.

"I don't have that ability. Otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"Old Buddha, I heard that you haven't been out of the sacred mountain in the west for many years. How come you have the time and mood to visit the southern continent?"

You are not afraid that a shadow of Pangu's banner will suddenly descend from the inner chaos and split you in half!
That Jade Purity Saint is not someone who is easy to deal with.

"Can the old Buddha tell me that there is another Buddha waiting for me in front of the Quicksand River?"

Seeing that Randang was just chanting the Buddha's name and not saying anything else, Sun Wukong said, "How could I be so worthy of being remembered by you great Buddhas all the time? It really makes me feel ashamed. I want to greet you all."

How to greet?
That naturally includes everyone from ancestors to grandmothers, without exception.

"I am a Buddha! Since Sun Dasheng already knows, I don't need to say more."

"Come on, come on! You are really amazing... I can't afford to provoke you, but I can still avoid you! Let's go now."

What the hell are you going to Liusha River for?

There are many quasi-saints guarding them, including old Buddhas and quasi-saints with names and surnames in the prehistoric world. Even if Sun Wukong sacrifices the Chaos Bell, he will not be able to do anything to them.

What's the point of this? Just turn around and leave.

This happened once.

Sun Wukong finally understood that it was hopeless to ruin the Buddhists' journey to the West and cause trouble for them.

It would be better to find a good place and continue lying down.

Want to understand this.

Sun Wukong headed towards Chang'an City again.

After reaching Liangjie Mountain, the territory of the Tang Dynasty came into sight. But before Sun Wukong could continue eastward, a ray of light descended from the heaven and followed Sun Wukong faintly.

When he saw who was coming clearly, Sun Wukong couldn't help but grin.

"You old man, are you here to cause trouble for me?"

Taibai Jinxing didn't know that Sun Wukong had just been blocked by two old Buddhas and was in a bad mood. Instead, he directly stated his purpose, "Great Sage, are you willing to go with me to the Heavenly Palace?"

"Old angel, don't hide it from me, who wants to see me?"

"Could it be that His Majesty is missing me again?"

Sun Wukong glanced at the old star god and said lightly, "Old Sun, do you still remember that His Majesty invited the Tathagata Buddha to attack and kill me without even meeting me? How come... he wants to do something to me now?"

Sun Wukong now has no good feelings towards the Jade Emperor.

Knowing clearly that the disturbance in Heaven had nothing to do with him, the Jade Emperor still followed the Buddhist plan.

After all, he is an accomplice.

You still want to find him to do something now? What a joke!
"Great Sage, this matter... the Great Sage should know it clearly. Your Majesty must be in a difficult situation as well."

It is difficult. It is rare for Old Sun to replace the six-eared macaque as the prison monkey!

Sun Wukong didn't believe that the Jade Emperor couldn't see the transformation of the six-eared macaque. Not to mention whether he could see it or not, how could the Jade Emperor not know about the calculations of the Buddhist sect?
Now he still has the nerve to come and find Sun Wukong in heaven.

What a shameless person.

"Don't say your Majesty or not, I'm going to be frank with you. If I can help you, I will, but if I can't, don't worry about it. I still recognize you as my Taoist friend."

Not to mention anything else, just say that when he was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, this old man would know to bring some fruits and vegetables just to see him, Old Sun, whenever he passed by the Five Elements Mountain, he would accept it.

There were gods and immortals everywhere in the sky, and Sun Wukong knew many of them when he was in the Peach Garden.

Apart from Taibai Jinxing and Nezha, who else has come to Wuzhi Mountain and seen Sun Wukong?
Even though there were the Five Jiedis and the land gods guarding the place, no one had ever come nearby to inquire. They were not as good as the mountain gods of the Two Worlds Mountain, who had only glanced at him from afar.

Are you all afraid of being contaminated by cause and effect?
If that’s the case, why bother getting to know him, Sun Wukong, in the future!
"Great Sage...you have a treasure that has fallen into the sky. Why don't you follow me to the sky and retrieve it?"

"Baby? Are you talking about the Starry Lamp..."

Sun Wukong suddenly scratched the monkey hair on his left hand. He really had forgotten what he had talked about with Yang Jian about destiny, and whether there was someone plotting against Yang Chan behind the scenes. He even forgot to get his top-grade innate spiritual treasure back.

Now listen to what Taibai Jinxing said.

I'm afraid that the treasure has been temporarily confiscated by the Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother.

Just wait for Sun Wukong to ascend to heaven and return it to him.

"Great Sage, the Queen has no intention of keeping the treasure any longer. She just wants to clarify something with you. What do you think, Great Sage?"

"Forget it. I didn't lend her my treasure, so it's proper for the borrower to return it. Old man, are you here just for this? If so, I'll have to leave first. I'd like to see more of the hustle and bustle of Chang'an City."

The Queen Mother wanted to use the Lamp of Stars to control him, but Sun Wukong would not be fooled.

The treasures that Erlang Shen and Nezha borrowed should naturally be returned by them!
As for how to repay.

That is the story of Erlang Shen and Nezha.

If it really doesn't work, these two can also make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and Sun Wukong will be guaranteed to prepare fruits and wine and go to the South Heaven Gate to cheer. It is not impossible to even lend them two more treasures after hearing this.

"Great Sage, don't be anxious..."

Seeing that Sun Wukong left immediately, Taibai Jinxing had no choice but to follow him closely, "It's a good thing, absolutely a good thing."

"What good or bad thing? Old Sun is busy now."

If something good really happened, would the couple have thought of him, Old Sun?

Just kidding.

Sun Wukong didn't believe a word of it and was too lazy to pay any attention to anything. He just rode the cloud all the way back to Chang'an City.

The round trip only takes about half a day.

But when Sun Wukong returned to Chang'an City, he found that there were many soldiers in the city, posting notices everywhere, saying that the Tang King Li Shimin had fainted for some unknown reason and was now unknown whether he was alive or dead, and they were looking for a miracle doctor to come and treat him.

The changes were so rapid that even Sun Wukong was stunned.

It has only been a short time since then, and the Buddhist sect has actually made a move against Li Shimin, and no one knows what means they used.

Even though the Dragon King of Jinghe River is gone, there is still Buddhism!
"Old man, can you please stop following me... If not, I will show you a way. As long as you save the Tang King, I will accompany you to heaven. How about that? I don't ask why!"

"Great Sage, you!"

Seeing that Sun Wukong's monkey eyes blinked, he posed a big problem to himself.

Taibai Jinxing had no idea what he was thinking.

Emperor Tang, Li Shimin, is now concerned about the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. If he does not pardon the pilgrims with his own mouth, then Chen Xuanzang will probably not have the appropriate documents to go to the West.

Not to mention the humanitarian luck that supports you along the way.

The Buddhist plan to have Jin Chanzi reincarnate in Chang'an City for his tenth life was not given for nothing.

I'm afraid that the fate of humanity has already been calculated.

Now Li Shimin is 100% a chess piece on the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. It would be strange if Taibai Jinxing could leave the field at will and get anything good out of it.

"Don't be so ridiculous. You are allowed to embarrass me, but I am not allowed to give you a difficult problem?"

"Or, you can go back to the Heavenly Palace and ask the Great Celestial Lord if there are any of his subordinates who are good at curing illnesses and saving lives. If he is willing to save the Tang King, that would be the best. I will also accept it. How about this?"

Taibai Venus...

The old angel finally realized that this was the cause and effect that Sun Wukong deliberately brought upon the Heavenly Court.

Since the Heavenly Court likes Buddhism and likes to interfere in the cause and effect of the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, Sun Wukong doesn't mind and will give the Heavenly Court more cause and effect!
It really is like being hit right in the vital spot.

"The Great Sage has embarrassed me."

"You are the ones who are making things difficult for me! When I was in heaven, whether I was appointed as the Horse Keeper or the monkey in charge of the Peach Garden, did I ever complain? Why do I deserve to be bullied just because I am an honest monkey?"

"Hey! I have been bullied since I was in heaven, and I have been bullied until now..."

"Old Sun is not obeying now. Are you starting to get used to it?"

If you have a way, you want to go. If you don’t have a way, you will die!
Lao Sun is willing to keep a low profile, not because I want to give face to you, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, but because the system is too comfortable to just lie down.

I don't want to give you face now, what are you doing?

Do you really think I, Old Sun, have no temper?!

"Great Sage, is this really necessary?"

"It's up to those two in heaven to decide. Old man, I've already said that I don't mean to embarrass you."

Seeing that Sun Wukong was stubborn and refused to go to Heaven to see the Queen Mother, Taibai Jinxing shook his head and had to say goodbye.

However, before leaving, he secretly blew a breath and took a copy of the notice posted on the archway of the East Market.

Wait until Taibai Jinxing leaves.

Sun Wukong then blinked his eyes and headed towards the direction of the palace, "I want to see what this Buddhist wants to do to His Majesty the King of Tang!"

Sun Wukong was certain that the task of healing must fall on the shoulders of an arhat or bodhisattva.

As for Tang Monk, maybe there is one.

Arrived near the palace.

Sun Wukong waited and waited, only to find that no one from the Buddhist sect responded to the notice. When he entered the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, he saw some Taoists coming in and out, with tense looks on their faces.

Watched it for a day or two.

Sun Wukong was too lazy to stare at it anymore, so he found an inn not far from the palace and stayed there.

Not even two days passed.

Sun Wukong, who was leisurely drinking and eating on the second floor of the inn, finally saw a monk entering the palace.

But he is not yet the Bodhisattva or Arhat.

However, the monk left the palace within three minutes after entering. Later, a young monk with red lips and white teeth, a pretty face, wearing a brocade monk robe and a serious face, entered the inner courtyard of the palace.

Just by looking at the monk's appearance and the nervous look on his face, Sun Wukong put down the wine cup in his hand.

"This must be Tang Monk, right?"

"He looks like a scholar. It would be great for him to be a son-in-law of an imperial family. Why would he want to be a monk..."

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, with the hidden light in his eyes flickering from time to time, "These Bodhisattvas really treasure Tang Monk, and follow him wherever he goes. I just don't know how Tang Monk, who has no magical powers at all, can save the King of Tang!"

With his golden eyes that could see through illusions, Sun Wukong could see everything, whether it was Tang Monk in the inner court of the imperial palace or the three Bodhisattvas and four Arhats following closely on his left and right.

Seeing this, he had no intention of joining in the fun.

If you want to mess with Tang Seng, you definitely won't have the chance now, so you might as well...

What disease did Li Shimin suffer from?
Two days ago, after Sun Wukong returned to Chang'an City, he had already seen from afar that the Tang King was not seriously ill at all, but his soul was lost!

This reminded Sun Wukong that if the Dragon King of the Jing River was executed in heaven, his returning evil spirit might disturb the King of Tang and might even scare Li Shimin to death.

The Dragon King of Jinghe River is still alive and well, but Li Shimin is still lost.

These monks are awesome!
"In that case, should I go to the underworld and find a chance to give these ghosts some trouble..."

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong suddenly shook his head again.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld is not someone who can be easily provoked. It is probably impossible to find the soul of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty to make trouble.

This place is completely guarded by Buddhists, making it impenetrable to wind and rain!
"Hey, this Tang Monk... can really chant sutras!!"

Sun Wukong thought that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva or the big monk who gave Tang Seng a elixir or even some magical power to help him save Li Shimin.

It's also a good way to earn a favor from a big person.

Unexpectedly, after entering the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, Tang Seng actually sat outside Li Shimin's bedroom and recited Buddhist scriptures peacefully.

Read with concentration and recite with all your heart.

It seemed that Sun Wukong was grinning for a long time.

What a good chanting monk!

He was so focused on chanting the sutras even though he had no magical powers or signs from heaven. Could it be that he really believed that the Buddhist scriptures could save all living beings? Could it be that they could bring relief from all kinds of disasters?
Just think about it?!
Amazing.

"What a pity that old man never came back. If he were still here... he would compete with Tang Monk to see who could recite the sutra faster and better. That would be a scene..."

When Sun Wukong thought about the fact that Taibai Jinxing could enter the inner courtyard of the imperial palace and chant sutras to pray for Li Shimin, he felt that the scene was truly delightful.

It’s a pity that Old Lady Bai refused.

Tang Seng recited the scriptures for most of the day. Even though his legs were numb and his mouth was dry, he had no intention of stopping.

Absolutely pious and absolutely determined.

But Sun Wukong discovered that for some unknown reason, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly took out a willow branch from the jade bottle, cut open a door that faintly emitted the aura of the underworld, and hurried away.

"At this time, why would this Bodhisattva, who is seen everywhere, go to the underworld?"

"Could it be that they can't wait for Li Shimin's soul to return? Or is it that something went wrong in the underworld..."

Scratching the monkey hair on his arm, Sun Wukong's eyes turned, and with a "Hey" laugh he grabbed half a jar of rice wine on the table, and turned into a ray of light, heading towards the underworld.

There might be a big commotion in the underworld, so of course Sun Wukong had to go and take a look.

Sun Wukong loves to join in the fun.

I especially like watching Buddhists having fun.

After a while.

Sun Wukong, who was familiar with the underworld, had already bypassed the Yinshan Mountains and arrived in front of the Ten Yama Palaces.

As expected, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara was in the Yama Palace. The Ten Yamas and a number of well-known gods of the underworld also arrived at the palace one after another.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong performed a magic trick and transformed himself into a ray of dark energy, which quietly penetrated into the collar of a ghost official.

He was brought into the Yama Palace openly.

"...Wow! What a lively scene."

As soon as the Yincha entered the Yama Palace, Sun Wukong immediately discovered that the entire three-acre Yama Palace was almost filled with various Yinchaos and immortals, led by the Ten Yamas, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and even the Di Ting Beast had come.

Then, it was King Yama who spoke, and he said, "... Bodhisattva, the ghost messengers have searched the entire underworld in half a day, and they really haven't found any trace of the soul of Tang King Li Shimin. What should we do now?"

Li Shimin’s soul is lost?

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong’s eyes widened.

Unexpectedly, I followed Guanyin Bodhisattva to the underworld by chance, and as soon as I entered the Hall of Yama, I heard such big gossip.

It really is, it’s wonderful!
Li Shimin is not like others. As the King of Tang, he should have been protected by humanity and destiny, and he should have made many achievements for humanity.

As the ruler of a country, his life span and achievements have not yet ended, but his soul has been plotted by the Buddhist sect. Not only has he gone to the underworld first, but now he is also missing...

If you can't find it back.

I am afraid that Buddhism will be contaminated by the great cause and effect of humanity.

Still want to go to the West Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures in peace? Just dream on.

"I don't know which great god did this, it's amazing! Hehe, now let's see what you Bodhisattvas and Hades will do."

As Sun Wukong was thinking this, he heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva say, "...Listen carefully, are you sure that no outsiders have come to the Nine Netherworld before, especially the Mirror Prison of Sin?"

Previously, in order to intimidate Li Shimin, the underworld officials took him to the eighteen levels of hell.

And he deliberately neglected it and temporarily left it in a corner of the Mirror Prison of Evil, so that he could experience the horror of the Mirror Prison of Evil for himself.

Originally, everything was as planned.

Naturally, there were also secret agents watching Li Shimin from afar, making sure he would not get hurt in any way.

But who would have thought that, right before the eyes of the six underworld officials, Li Shimin's soul disappeared without a trace, for no reason. Even the ten Yamas who fought one after another, even offering various underworld treasures, could not find any trace of it.

Later, things got out of control.

Naturally, some underworld officials sent for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to clean up the mess, but the Bodhisattva tried again and again but could not find any trace of the crime.

I searched for half a day.

As a last resort, they summoned Guanyin Bodhisattva to the underworld.

"Replying to the Bodhisattva, I really didn't hear any external sounds from the Mirror Prison. I also borrowed the magic treasure to try it out, but I didn't find anything else."

"So, you are from the underworld?"

As soon as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said this, the ten Yama Kings hurriedly shook their heads, and Yama King even said, "Bodhisattva, such absurdity is impossible. Not to mention that all the old and young in my Ten Yama Palaces are now in the palace, even if I take action myself, I don't have such magical powers!"

The Ten Kings of Hell are nothing more than Daluo Golden Immortals.

If they want to make a soul disappear silently in the underworld, they naturally have the ability to do so.

But in other words, not even a trace is left.

Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with the help of Buddhist magic treasures and Di Ting with the help of his innate magical powers and magic treasures could not find any trace of Qi, so forget it.

Impossible.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has practiced hard and attained the status of a Quasi-Sage. It is said that the Bodhisattva has boundless magical powers and is much more powerful than some Buddhas.

As a neighbor, how could the Ten Kings of Hell not know how great the magical powers of this Bodhisattva are?

"This kind of method is definitely not done by our Yama Palace. I hope the Bodhisattva knows this!"

"Bodhisattva Guanyin, I wonder if you can use some magic to find the soul of the Tang King..."

He, the King of Hell, would definitely not take the blame for such a huge crime.

Even though Li Shimin was just a King of Tang, or even to put it bluntly, just an ordinary man, what he represented behind the scenes was humanity!
Humanity is now one of the three ways of heaven and earth.

Who dares to provoke easily.

Do you really think that the human ancestors in the Fire Cloud Cave are dead?

Believe it or not, if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors mobilized the great power of humanity to attack together, even one or two saints would have to bow down to them.

If he were to be held responsible for such consequences in the underworld, the Ten Yama Kings would probably have to reincarnate, and it's unclear whether they could even reincarnate!
"Don't worry, King Yama. There will be a reason for this."

Guanyin Bodhisattva said this, but then she reached out and pulled out the hollow willow branch from the jade bottle, and brushed it several times in the direction of the Eighteen Layers of Hell. After a while, she frowned and said, "The King of Tang is definitely not in the Mirror of Sin Prison now."

No need to look for it in person.

With the hollow willow branch in hand and the help of the great magical powers of Buddhism, Guanyin Susa can easily penetrate the void and sweep away the energy of the Mirror Prison of Sin.

I've been searching for a long time, but there's still no result.

This is a difficult situation for him.

"I am the Buddha of infinite power, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... If not, why don't we go there in person and walk across the Naihe Bridge?"

This is the underworld after all.

In another cave world, whether it is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva or Guanyin Bodhisattva, they dare to try to go back in time, even if it is just to take a look at the past, then everything will naturally become clear.

It’s just that the underworld is very different, and it wants to reverse the time of the underworld...

Regardless of whether they can do it or not, they must first show whether they dare to do it.

Furthermore.

Since someone had attacked Li Shimin, and had formed a karmic relationship with his Buddhist sect in disguise, how could it be possible for any trace to be left in the long river of time?

It would be better to go to the Naihe Bridge and ask Meng Po.

"That's fine. How can we hide the affairs of the underworld from the eyes of that lady?"

"Several Hades, would you like to go with us?"

After hearing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's question, the ten Yama Kings looked at each other. Finally, King Yama spoke, but still politely declined.

Meng Po is nice to see, but that lady...

Seeing this, the two Bodhisattvas did not pay much attention to it, but stood up and left the Hall of Yama together and headed towards the Naihe Bridge.

Sun Wukong naturally saw all of this, and out of curiosity, he faintly transformed into a wisp of dark wind and followed the two Bodhisattvas from a distance.

Sun Wukong had not forgotten this trip, and quietly placed the Chaos Bell on top of his head to completely conceal his own Qi and cause and effect.

Not long after.

The two Bodhisattvas arrived at the Naihe Bridge, ignored the many ghosts and spirits passing by, and bowed to Meng Po who was scooping food for the ghosts one by one.

They all said in unison, "We are here to see Empress Pingxin!"

A single greeting can change everything.

Even Sun Wukong himself did not notice how he left the Naihe Bridge and suddenly ended up in a hall filled with dim light.

In the hall, there was a young woman with a calm aura like the underworld, looking at the three people who had arrived.

"Greetings to Lady Pingxin!!"

"Old Sun... that Old Sun has seen Empress Pingxin."

Seeing that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva just glared at him at this moment, Sun Wukong hurriedly bowed to the woman in front of him.

How many people could have imagined that Meng Po, who had stood on the Naihe Bridge for countless years, was actually one of the three incarnations of the goddess in front of them?

Moreover, this Empress Pingxin, who rarely appears in public, has actually been in the underworld.

"Forget about that. Two Bodhisattvas, is there anything you need?"

Lady Pingxin glanced at Sun Wukong with a faint smile, then looked at the two Bodhisattvas, calculated with her fingers, and asked, "Are you two Bodhisattvas here for the Lord of the Tang Dynasty?"

In the netherworld, nothing can escape the eyes of this lady.

What concealment, what confusion of heaven's secrets? Unless a saint takes action, there is really no possibility of hiding it from the queen in the underworld.

Even for saints, the ratio is 70% at most!

Because this is the underworld!

"Yes! I hope the queen will have mercy."

Guanyin Bodhisattva answered straightforwardly, "I don't know who was able to hide from our eyes and ears and take away the Tang King's soul. Now that the Tang King has lost his master... it is indeed inappropriate."

Sun Wukong almost gritted his teeth when he heard this.

Aren't these all good things done by you Buddhists? Now you know it's wrong? You still dare to say it!
This face is thicker than the corner of the city wall.

"The person you two Bodhisattvas are looking for is in the six realms of reincarnation. Go ahead."

Niangniang Pingxin didn't care. After giving the two Bodhisattvas an answer, Guanyin Bodhisattva said something and waved her hand, sending them straight out of Pingxin Hall.

Only Sun Wukong was left, facing the queen directly, feeling a little nervous when she looked at him.

"My lady, that old Sun is just here to join in the fun, nothing else. Otherwise, I will leave too..."

Before Sun Wukong could finish his words, Lady Pingxin looked at him and laughed out loud, "You monkey, aren't you afraid that if you go out now, those two Bodhisattvas will turn around and cause trouble for you?"

"Hey, then Madam, can you teach me?"

Empress Pingxin did not pay attention to Sun Wukong's playful expression, but stared at the Chaos Bell above his head.

After a short while, he continued.

"I didn't expect to see this treasure again after we parted, and it turned out to be in the hands of a monkey like you. Well, well." Empress Pingxin was obviously recalling the past, especially the fact that she had personally experienced the power of this treasure. "Sun Wukong, are you willing to do me a favor?"

When Sun Wukong heard Niangniang Pingxin suddenly calling his name, he felt a chill in his heart.

He would rather this lady called him a monkey than care.

But now, he is called Sun Wukong...

"Madam, why don't you tell me first? If I can do it, I will certainly help you get it done. But if..."

"Don't worry, I won't force you. It doesn't matter if you can do it or not. After all these years, what difference does it make?"

Empress Pingxin was silent for a moment before she continued, "Sun Wukong, do you know that there is a mountain in Xiniuhezhou called Changyang Mountain?"

Changyang Mountain?!

It sounds so familiar.

Sun Wukong thought about it for a moment and suddenly figured it out.

Isn’t that Changyang Mountain the Changyang Mountain where the great wizard Xingtian lost his head and buried his head?

I heard that Xing Tian's later destruction of the heavens was related to the loss of his head. But I don't know whether the head of this great witch was chopped off by the great celestial being in heaven.

"It seems that you know it."

"I know, I know. Your Majesty wants me to go to Changyang Mountain to pay homage to the great witch?"

Upon hearing what Sun Wukong said, Empress Pingxin immediately shook her head:
"They have always been the ones to worship me... Why should I worship them? Sun Wukong, if possible, please help me split open the Changyang Mountain and release the head of Xingtian."

"This is my reward!"

As she said this, Empress Pingxin flipped her hand, and a small axe only about a foot long suddenly appeared in her hand.

Touching the bloodstains on the axe, Lady Pingxin said, "This treasure has been with me for many years. In the future, you must treat it well. Who knows, one day, when you go to the chaos, this treasure can still help you."

"May I ask, Madam, what treasure is this?"

Seeing that Niangniang Pingxin treasured this axe so much, the first thing that Sun Wukong thought of was the Axe of Creation that the ancestor god Pangu had used.

But it's definitely impossible.

Now the Chaos Bell is still above his head, and Pangu Axe has long been split into three.

However, this axe is definitely an innate spiritual treasure. Sun Wukong does have some good eyesight.

"I call it the Mountain Splitting Axe! It was originally formed when the divine axe in the hands of Father God was broken. A piece of the fragment was contaminated with the essence of the chaotic divine iron when the world was first created, and it was combined with a wisp of the innate energy of the four symbols. The four symbols returned, and in my hand it responded to the meaning of the earth leaving, and it has its own image of gold and iron, and is best at splitting the mountains and veins of the world."

"Of course, if you use it to create a chaos, it will be very convenient to form a world."

Axe?!
Isn't it said that the axe in Chenxiang's hand was one of the three treasures for flood control left by Dayu when he was controlling the floods?
How come there is a mountain axe here?

Could it be that the axe in Dayu's hand was a replica later? It was only after it was stained with merit that it gradually replaced the name of this treasure?

Sun Wukong didn't have to think too much to figure it out.

The axe that is so treasured by Empress Pingxin must be much better than the mountain-splitting axe in Dayu's hand.

The witch clan back then were not allowed to sacrifice and refine spiritual treasures.

They would not take ordinary spiritual treasures seriously, especially the ancestor witches, who would not lack for any spiritual treasures.

"Your Highness, I have helped you with this matter. As for the axe, you should keep it as a keepsake."

"I just wonder if the Queen could talk to me about why the great wizard Xing Tian lost his head. Is there any other cause and effect behind this?"

"You monkey, you don't like Buddhism, but you also talk about cause and effect?"

Sun Wukong...

It's not what he wanted to say, but after the two saints in the West attained enlightenment, the great way of cause and effect has become the best way in the world, and everyone knows it.

Having accepted the great principles of heaven and earth, how can you pretend that they don't exist?

He, Sun Wukong, is just talking, isn't that enough?

"My lady, I just said it casually. I have no other intention."

"It doesn't matter if there is one or not. If one day, someone talks about cause and effect like you, a monkey, your Tao will be successful." Lady Pingxin also gave Sun Wukong a reminder, "Practice is to cultivate the nature of heaven and earth, and also to cultivate oneself."

“Some principles need to be well controlled.”

After a pause, Lady Pingxin changed the subject and asked, "Sun Wukong, what do you think of the demon race?"

Aren’t you talking about the great wizard Xingtian? Why are you talking about the demon clan again?

Sun Wukong's mind turned, "My Lady, I was born and raised by nature. I am called a monster, but except for the human race, in the ancient times, the ancient times, and even before the ancient times, which race or lineage was not born and raised by nature? Could it be that everyone is a monster?"

Sun Wukong doesn't care if people call him a demon monkey or a monster.

But it is impossible to say that he admitted that he was a monster.

Don't blame Sun Wukong for the bad things that demons and ghosts do! This Monkey King is kind-hearted. Since he was born, he has never eaten anyone, nor has he killed any living creature for no reason.

Certain bad reputations cannot be attributed to him.

"It's good to know this."

"That Xing Tian was reckless and reckless back then. He would not spare anyone who offended him, no matter if they were demons, ghosts, or gods or ordinary people. I don't know how many sins he committed, and in the end, others plotted against Haotian and cut off his head."

"After such a lesson, he still did not repent, and used his chest and abdomen as eyes and mouth, and paid for the cause of Haotian's calamities..."

Others only know that the Jade Emperor was able to return to the Great Heavenly Venerable because he had been reincarnated and experienced 1,750 tribulations before reaching his present state.

But who would have known that the one who sent Lord Haotian to reincarnation was actually the great wizard Xingtian!
Xing Tian dances with the Gan Qi, he is really fierce.

But in the end, until now, the great witch's head is still lying under Changyang Mountain.

"There is a damaged great array of stars in Changyang Mountain that suppresses it. Apart from a few saints, there are only a few people in the world who can break it. Now, you, Sun Wukong, are one of them. That's why I'm looking for you."

That's it!

When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately understood.

It's not that Sun Wukong is so powerful that he can break the Great Array of Stars in the Heavens, but the Chaos Bell he has on him, which once served as the main eye of the Great Array of Stars in the Heavens when he was in the Demon Court.

With this treasure, the formation would suddenly become three points shorter.

With the help of this treasure to break the formation, I don’t know how much effort and energy I can save.

thus.

Sun Wukong could also imagine that in order to kill the great wizard Xingtian and suppress him, the Lord Haotian really used all the powerful formations that Heaven had kept in reserve.

Unfortunately, even though he lost his head, Xing Tian is still alive...

He was able to destroy the sky and kill Haotian. It is really admirable.

"I didn't expect that such a great formation would still be left behind."

“It’s just the flagpole.”

Empress Pingxin knew too well how vast and terrifying the power of the completed version of the Great Array of the Stars in the Heavens was.

If they were all left behind, not to mention Xing Tian, ​​a great wizard, even if the Twelve Ancestral Wizards were resurrected, I'm afraid they would have to figure out how to break the formation.

Even though it is a remnant of the formation, it has suppressed Xing Tian’s head for countless years.

Who would have thought.

"Sun Wukong, remember, when you get to Changyang Mountain, don't force your way in. You have the Chaos Bell in your hand, so you might be able to subdue those formation flags, and with that, there's a chance you can draw out the Great Formation of Stars in the Heavens that's imprinted in the Chaos Bell."

"With this formation in hand, you will naturally have more experience when you walk between heaven and earth in the future."

Just a few points?!
Sun Wukong felt that if he really had this formation in his hands, and if his own cultivation could reach the quasi-sage Hunyuan, and he also had the Chaos Bell, he might be able to have a good talk with a saint.

When that time really comes, once the great array of stars in the sky is set up, the innate treasure Chaos Bell will suppress the formation on both sides.

Who dares to provoke this sharp edge?

There are probably only one or two unparalleled formations in the entire ancient world that can rival Pangu's true body.

Unfortunately, since the fall of the Demon Court.

The great array of stars in the sky has never again shown the sharpness it once had.

If there is a chance in the future.

Sun Wukong really wants to open the eyes of all the gods and Buddhas in the sky!
"Don't worry, Madam. I remember all your instructions. I will never forget your expectations. I will go to Changyang Mountain."

"That's fine!"

Seeing that Sun Wukong insisted on going to Changyang Mountain, Empress Pingxin couldn't help but smile. Then she threw the small axe in her hand at Sun Wukong, spread out her sleeves to bring up a wisp of wind, and sent Sun Wukong straight away from Pingxin Palace.

Wait until Sun Wukong opens his eyes.

I found myself standing on either side of the Naihe Bridge, with all kinds of ghosts coming and going as usual.

"Old Sun is coming out now? Your Majesty is so generous..."

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, and did not forget to bow to Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge, then went to the Yama Palace.

When Sun Wukong arrived at Yama Palace again, he found that the palace was already empty on both sides.

The countless ghost messengers of the Ten Kings of Hell, as well as the two Bodhisattvas, are no longer in the Kings of Hell.

It was Sun Wukong who wanted to leave.

A shadow of Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared out of nowhere and blocked Sun Wukong's way.

"Bodhisattva, you scared me! Where are you from and where are you going?"

"Sun Wukong, don't joke with me! What are you doing in the underworld? Did you hide the Tang Emperor Li Shimin?"

Sun Wukong...

This Bodhisattva, thanks to having a mouth, how can he say white is black?

If he had not just seen it in Pingxin Hall, Sun Wukong would have suspected whether he had really arrived in the underworld before him and hidden Li Shimin's soul there.

"I, Old Sun, almost believed what the Bodhisattva said."
