Chapter 174: You, a monkey, need to say this! (-word chapter)
"Don't be so frivolous. You, a monkey, have never wanted to go west. Now you come to the underworld again. Do you dare to say that there is no reason?"

"Bodhisattva, please tell me, I really have a reason to come here, but I just don't want to tell you!"

Sun Wukong bared his teeth, not caring at all about the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva:

"Bodhisattva, why don't you teach me what the six realms of reincarnation mean? Could it be that the soul of Emperor Tang Li Shimin has already been reincarnated?"

"Oh my, if that's true, it would be terrible. Do you think he is a Bodhisattva?"

Sun Wukong's words were both offensive and sarcastic, which made the shadow of Guanyin Bodhisattva grit her teeth.

You monkey, you need not say this!
With the reminder from Niangniang Pingxin, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva had already thought of this.

He even returned to the Yama Palace earlier than Sun Wukong and asked the Ten Kings of Hell and many underworld officials to check the Book of Life and Death and many underworld books.

Unfortunately, after working for quite some time, I still haven’t found out the answer.

If it really cannot be found, then where did Li Shimin reincarnate? Or maybe he didn't reincarnate at all? That would be hard to imagine.

In this situation.

It just so happens that Sun Wukong is still in the underworld, and seems to be causing more trouble. It would be strange if Guanyin Bodhisattva could let him off the hook.

"You naughty monkey! Do you want to leave the underworld on your own, or do you want me to send you out personally?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't want to say any more words to Sun Wukong. With a wave of her hand, her own magical jade bottle appeared in her hand.

What that means is, if you, Sun Wukong, dare to say no now, Guanyin will take action.

Moreover, it is very likely that the first move will be a big one!
"Come on, come on, Bodhisattva, why is it so heartless? What's the problem with me coming to visit the underworld? Ok, ok, ok, I can't afford to offend you, so I can't leave!"

Seeing that Guanyin Bodhisattva did not speak again, he just grabbed the hollow willow branch in his hand.

Naturally, Sun Wukong would not stay either.

For no reason, he had a fight with Guanyin Bodhisattva in the underworld, and there was nothing wrong with him, Sun Wukong. Besides, the lying-down system was always online.

Not just to see the excitement of Li Shimin.

Sun Wukong left as soon as he said he would, and soon left the underworld. When he saw the figure of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately turned into nothingness and went to help the original Buddha find the soul of Li Shimin.

Let’s talk about Sun Wukong leaving the underworld.

For a moment, I didn't want to go back to Chang'an City to watch the fun.

After all, Li Shimin’s soul has not been found yet, and there has been no change in Chang’an City for the time being.

At this time, even if Tang Seng chanted the scriptures until he fainted, Li Shimin's soul had not returned, and he would not wake up.

"It's boring. It's really boring. Such a big drama is performed by two Bodhisattvas... There is not even a little ups and downs."

"Why not go meet Senior Sister?"

Sun Wukong muttered a few words, determined the direction, and headed towards the Qianyuan Mountain Pear Cave.

……

Heaven, Ripple Palace.

In the past two days, whenever the Jade Emperor has no important business, he will come to Yaochi.

Specifically, it is the Ripple Palace!
It is obvious that this great celestial being does not know what to do with the little baby in the palace, but he likes to go to the palace and watch the Queen Mother and a group of maids busying themselves taking care of the baby.

Whenever the baby cried, His Majesty would reach out and want to hug him.

is also like this.

After meeting Sun Wukong, Taibai Jinxing wanted to report the result to His Majesty as soon as possible, but it was really not possible to meet him in person for the time being.

It was not until the Jade Emperor left the Lianyi Palace that Taibai Jinxing, who had been waiting outside the palace, hurried over to pay his respects.

"... Taibai, do you like children?"

Taibai Jinxing never thought that after meeting the Jade Emperor, he would be asked such a question.

For a moment, he was so annoyed that he didn't know how to start.

I could only pretend I didn't hear it and quickly reported back, "Your Majesty, I went down to the mortal world earlier and met that Monkey King. From what he said... I'm afraid he doesn't want to come back to the Heavenly Palace."

Taibai Jinxing knew what was going on.

Given Sun Wukong's temperament, it would be strange that he would come to the Heavenly Palace to see the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

If he were Sun Wukong, he wouldn't come either!

These two went too far.

"Don't want to go back? Didn't you tell him that as long as he comes to see me in the Heavenly Palace, the treasure will be returned to him?"

"Your Majesty, the little god said it, but he still has no intention."

Taibai Jinxing said again, "According to Sun Dasheng, whoever he lent the treasure to will he ask for it back in the future."

As a close minister of the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing rarely hides things from the Jade Emperor.

After all, as a good subordinate who has worked closely with the Jade Emperor for many years and done a lot of dirty work, he knows his limits very well.

Since Sun Wukong said it, Taibai Jinxing will naturally tell the Jade Emperor.

However, he did not expect that the Jade Emperor could not help but chuckle after hearing this:

"Well, well, well, what a good Sun Wukong, you are really willing to give it up. Such a magical treasure can also be placed in my heaven, so I am not afraid that it will be lost in the future. I hope he will not regret it when the time comes."

The Jade Emperor has lived for so many years and he must have seen all kinds of treasures.

A treasure like the Zhuxing Dou Lamp is a top-grade spiritual treasure. Even in the ancient world, it can be ranked among the top 20.

He, the Jade Emperor, only has one treasure of this quality, but Sun Wukong doesn't even care about it.

This made the Jade Emperor wonder if Sun Wukong had suddenly changed his temper.

Princess Iron Fan Arrives at Chang'an

West Tianling Mountain, Daleiyin Temple.

On this day, the Buddha set a date for obtaining the scriptures and was also waiting for Guanyin Bodhisattva to return.

Unexpectedly.

An arhat from the underworld came to report that something had happened to Li Shimin's soul, causing the Buddha Tathagata to be stunned for a while.

Sun Wukong was willing to leave the Five Finger Mountain, and Chen Xuanzang also cut off his worldly ties...

This is also good news for the Buddha.

But before they could enjoy this good news for long, it was reported that the soul of Emperor Li Shimin of Tang had disappeared.

This is not allowed by Heaven. How can his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures go smoothly?
"Three Netherworld Arhats, in the underworld, there is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in charge, and the Ten Kings of Hell are there to help, so why did this happen?"

"Reply to my Buddha, I don't know!"

Seeing that the Buddha remained silent, the Three Netherworld Arhats continued, "Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara has already arrived in the underworld and has checked the Mirror Prison with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. The Tang King's soul should have been in the Mirror Prison to carefully observe the cause and effect of his sins, but somehow it disappeared."

"I searched everywhere but could not find it. The Bodhisattva used magic, and the King of Hell searched everywhere but could not find it."

"Later, two Bodhisattvas went to Naihe Bridge, saying that it was Lady Pingxin who reminded them of the theory of the six realms of reincarnation. Now, I don't know whether the Tang King's soul has been reincarnated or..."

The Three Nether Arhats briefly recounted the disappearance of the soul of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

After hearing what Buddha Tathagata had said, my mood fluctuated.

But there is no way.

Even the Buddha Tathagata knew that if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva were sure to recover Li Shimin's soul, they would not have asked the Three Nether Arhats to report.

In a disguised way, this is a request for help.

"My Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva also said that Sun Wukong was also in the underworld."

"That monkey went to the underworld?"

Upon hearing that Sun Wukong was also in the underworld, for some reason, Buddha Tathagata suddenly suspected that the soul of Emperor Tang Li Shimin was hidden by this monkey through some means.

The purpose was just to ruin his Buddhist plan of traveling to the West!

A monkey could do such a thing.

"Did Guanyin Bodhisattva mention that Emperor Tang Li Shimin had an issue with that monkey?"

"Nothing!"

"I am the Buddha of infinite power! Sanming Arhat, go to the Eagle Sorrow Gorge to find Maitreya Buddha, lead him to the underworld, and let him trace the cause and effect to find the trace of Li Shimin's soul. You also take this treasure with you, so that Maitreya Buddha can act at his convenience!"

After thinking for a while, the Buddha Tathagata gave an order to the Three Nether Arhats, and suddenly a huge Buddha crown light appeared, from which a treasure was drawn, and he slowly waved it to the Three Nether Arhats.

This treasure is exactly the magical treasure that two Western saints made for the Tathagata when he achieved the status of the Buddha of Lingshan Mountain - the Karma Mahayana Mirror! !
With the light of this precious mirror, one can understand cause and effect and distinguish existence from non-existence.

It can be said to be an existence comparable to a treasure, above all tracing cause and effect.

With this treasure, as long as it is not a saint who takes action, one can find out some mysteries of any cause and effect.

"Respect the will of my Buddha!"

The Three Nether Arhats came quickly and left quickly.

……

Cuiyun Mountain, Bajiao Cave.

Ever since Sun Wukong led the Bull Demon King, the demon kings, and all the demons to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

The Bull Demon King, who had realized something was wrong, returned to Cuiyun Mountain first, and spent his days getting drunk and having sex, and gradually he stopped returning home.

This also led to a big fight between Princess Iron Fan and him.

As a result, the Bull Demon King still refused to change his bad habits.

This eventually angered Princess Iron Fan, who focused all her attention on Red Boy and no longer cared about how the old cow made trouble.

More than two hundred years passed in a flash.

Princess Iron Fan lived a happy and comfortable life with Red Boy's company.

Just this day.

That familiar yet strange feeling comes again.

This caused Princess Iron Fan to let go of Red Boy temporarily and go to the secret quiet room to pay a visit to the mysterious ancestor.

"...Iron Shan, do you know about the journey to the west?"

After Princess Iron Fan paid her respects, the shadow figure of the Styx Patriarch, playing with the vaguely visible human soul in his hand, spoke, "Are you willing to participate?"

"Grandmaster, Tieshan doesn't know. Tieshan, please teach me!"

"You don't know this or that, yet you still dare to claim to be the king of Cuiyun Mountain. If it weren't for you and that cow'er's good fortune... I'm afraid you would have been turned into magic weapons and immortal treasures by those beastly immortal gods long ago."

"As the saying goes, success is due to cause, and failure is due to cause. Since you have been secretly blessed by the West, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. Do you understand?"

what? !

Princess Iron Fan knows nothing.

If the old ancestor of the Styx had not said it, how would she, a Rakshasa woman who "never leaves the main gate and never steps out of the secondary gate", know anything about the journey to the West, and how could she know that Buddhism was now going to gain merit and order the pilgrim to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures so as to spread the Dharma to all living beings.

It is said that Cuiyun Mountain is a famous mountain with a demon cave with a radius of tens of millions of miles, and there are many demon kings and demon women coming and going.

But in reality, few of these people have reached the level of Daluo.

Not to mention the Hunyuan Quasi-Sage.

As for these demon kings, they usually don't even dare to provoke the vicinity of some immortal caves and Taoist temples, so how could they know what great achievements the Buddhist sects are going to make.

"Iron Fan doesn't understand, please teach me, ancestor!"

"I don't know...how to teach you." The old man of the Styx was also a little helpless. He even felt that his own bloodline had declined too much. Before the ancient times, he went up and down the sea of ​​blood. How could it be so closed? "Then, you can go to Shandong between the two worlds, find the Great Tang Kingdom, and return the soul of the Tang King to the Tang King..."

"It can be considered that you have repaid the karma of the Buddhist sect."

Say so.

The old man of the Styx threw the human soul in his hand, which had shrunk countless times, to Princess Iron Fan.

This caused Princess Iron Fan to think deeply for a while.

"Don't think too much. There are some things you don't understand, and I can't explain them to you in a short time. Now the West... is getting anxious. I wanted to use this soul to control them. But unfortunately, I can't find any suitable people under my command."

"If we confront the West now, we won't get any benefits and will be in trouble. It would be better to..."

"Iron Shan, remember, don't get involved too much. Just go to the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City and return the Tang King's soul. Go early and come back early!"

"When you come back, I will talk to you in detail."

Having said this, the figure of the Styx Patriarch suddenly turned and disappeared.

Seeing this, Princess Iron Fan could only pay homage to the place where the Old Man of the Styx disappeared, then left the quiet room, instructed her maid to get close to him, and then hurriedly rode on the clouds and mist, hiding herself in the direction of Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and went far away.

A whole day passed.

Princess Iron Fan hurriedly brought Li Shimin's soul to Chang'an City.

But as soon as she entered the city and sensed the extremely obvious Buddhist aura and light around Jinshan Temple, Princess Iron Fan's heart almost fluttered.

That aura was too grand and too vast.

I really can't afford to offend him.

"Isn't it said that the immortals, gods and Buddhas in the world rarely come to the Southern Continent, the human territory? Why are there so many Buddha lights in the Great Tang Kingdom... What is the reason for the journey to the west?"

"It's really hard to understand what the ancestor wants to do."

Qianyuan Mountain, Lishan Cave.

As soon as Sun Wukong descended from the clouds, he saw Sister Wudang coming to greet him in person, and he smiled for a long time.

"Senior sister, Lao Sun is here to see you."

"I know, I know, you monkey, are you willing to come out of the Five Finger Mountain?"

Seeing Sun Wukong approaching and bowing to her, the Holy Mother Wu Dang smiled and couldn't help but stroke the monkey's hair on his forehead. "Before, that monkey said that he would never leave the Five Finger Mountain, no matter what?"

"How long has it been..."

"Senior sister! Stop teasing me, Old Sun. This is not the same thing as the other time."

The reason why Sun Wukong was willing to leave the Five Finger Mountain was naturally because he was thinking that if he met disciples of the Jiejiao on the way to obtain the scriptures, he would save them if he could.

However, he didn't want to tell this to Saint Mother Yu Wudang.

Sun Wukong came to see the Holy Mother Wu Dang, not to curry favor, but just to see his senior sister.

So here I came.

"It doesn't matter what, as long as you, a monkey, don't feel that you're being taken advantage of."

The Holy Mother Wu Dang was also unaware of what was happening now that Sun Wukong had left the Five Finger Mountain. "I saw some changes in Chang'an City earlier. Do you know the reason?"

Since before, Sun Wukong specifically mentioned Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

Naturally, Holy Mother Wu Dang paid much attention to it.

"I have been to Chang'an City. Don't worry, Senior Sister. Since I have made up my mind, it doesn't matter if I follow their wishes."

"Senior Sister, have you made any progress in your skills recently?"

Upon hearing this, Holy Mother Wu Dang just shook her head.

With her background as the Holy Mother Wu Dang, and her current practice and foundation, it would be extremely easy for her to develop a method of practice.

He could even deduce some useful magical skills, and with the Hongmeng Purple Qi in his hand, he could use them easily.

But the method of opening up the world is still too difficult.

It's not that easy to accomplish in just three to five hundred years.

"Brother, I once wanted to make a great wish and use the great way of heaven and earth to practice this wonderful method. What do you think?"

The senior sister and the disciple were strolling under the pear trees all over the mountain. Suddenly, Mother Wu Dang mentioned a method, which made Sun Wukong look surprised.

Great ambitions are not something that can be made casually.

Those two saints from the West who have not seen the truth have been almost entirely devoted to fulfilling their vows since they became saints.

What paradise and what Buddhist heavens? They are all methods of fulfilling vows specially set up by two Western saints.

Even more unfortunate than the two Western saints was the old man of the Styx.

This old ancestor not only learned the way of reincarnation from Niangniang Pingxin and the way of creation from Niangniang Nuwa, but also learned the way of great aspirations from the Western saints. All he wanted was to seek boundless merits from heaven and earth so that he could become a saint.

Unfortunately, what you learn is not yours after all.

In the end, not only did this ancestor fail to achieve enlightenment, his own way of reincarnation became the Asura way, one of the six ways of reincarnation in the underworld, and his method of creation only created the Asura clan.

As for the great aspiration method...what kind of consequences it has caused is difficult for others to know.

least.

Even Sun Wukong knew that the Lord of the Blood Sea, the Styx Patriarch, had been trapped in the Blood Sea by the Western Church for countless years. For too many years, no one had heard of what kind of storm this world-famous ancient great power had stirred up in the wilderness.

Now, the Holy Mother Wu Dang also wants to learn the methods of the Western saint...

Too presumptuous, too dangerous.

"Sister, I think this is not a good idea." Sun Wukong grabbed the monkey hair on his head. Seeing that Sister was looking at him intently, he couldn't help but say, "Sister, I remember that the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood also did this."

"In the end, it seems like I didn't get any advantage."

"That's true."

The Holy Mother Wu Dang nodded slightly, picked up a white flower from the pear tree nearby, and as her mind wandered, the flowers bloomed, withered, and the fruits ripened.

Then he casually handed it to Sun Wukong beside him and said, "Junior brother, I won't hide it from you. If it were just me, I would have to wait for a long time to develop this method. I can wait for three to five hundred years, three to five thousand years, or even three to five hundred thousand years."

"But I think this method will be difficult to achieve even after millions of years."

As a disciple of the Sage Tongtian, Holy Mother Wudang has always had a good character.

But if we wait for countless years...

It still made her feel uneasy.

"Sister, the great road is right before our eyes, and you can't wait? Compared to those Hunyuan Quasi-Saints who can't see the way ahead, Sister is much better now."

"That's true. Who made me have a junior brother like you! When I achieve enlightenment in the future, I will thank you, monkey." "I like to hear what you said, senior sister. Please say more!"

"You monkey, you are really naughty." After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Wu Dang Shengmu's slightly anxious mind calmed down a lot, and changed the subject and said, "Monkey, I heard that you went to Wuzhuang Temple before and helped Zhen Yuanzi to heal his fruit tree?"

This matter has been revealed now?!

Sun Wukong nodded slightly and then shook his head, "Sister, it's not that I can cure him. I just helped that immortal. Now even you know about this?"

"I know! This is a big deal, and it's not just me..."

Seeing that Sun Wukong was slow to realize it, Wu Dang Shengmu said, "Monkey, do you know why that great immortal came here? With that perfect and unhindered innate spiritual root treasure tree, what will he achieve in the future? How dare you take action on such a big matter?"

"Be careful in the future, I don't know how many people will come to you and ask for favors."

There are indeed not many people in the ancient world who have attained enlightenment through innate spiritual roots, but there are definitely quite a few.

Especially before the ancient times, the spiritual energy of the ancient world was so abundant that countless spiritual roots and spiritual herbs were enlightened at that time.

After several calamities, it was down.

Indeed, too many of these enlightened people have died, but some of them are still alive today.

These are the people that Holy Mother Wu Dang was talking about.

"Old Sun does know a thing or two. Senior Sister, are you saying... in this world, there are many more sacred beings like the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi?"

"Not a lot, but I can count them with my hands. It's definitely more than enough. This is good and bad for you. You must be careful in the future. By the way, can you let me see your treasure?"

"Sister, are you talking about the Starry Lamp that can create the Three Lights Divine Water? This is not with me now."

Sun Wukong scratched the monkey hair on his arm, speechless.

How could he know that this treasure is so popular now, isn't it just the Three Lights Divine Water?

Doesn't this thing constantly absorb the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, and then slowly precipitate the creation, and naturally it can turn into the Three Lights Divine Water?

Those immortal gods who have attained enlightenment through spiritual roots have lived for countless years.

They still lack this thing?!

Sun Wukong was confused and asked again, "Sister, the Three Lights Divine Water doesn't seem to be a very precious divine water. How could those people with spiritual roots who have attained enlightenment still lack this thing?"

"Monkey, what do you think the Three Lights Divine Water is?"

The Holy Mother Wu Dang shook her head and said, "Let me teach you a lesson. All the sacred objects in this world, whether it is the sun, moon, stars or anything else, have had owners in the past."

"Let's not talk about the ancient times, let's just talk about the time of the lich. Do you think that the lich Emperor Jun and Taiyi are dead?"

"There are also Xihe and Changxi, who are not the gods of the sun and the moon, and they are in charge of the movement of the sun and the moon at all times. With them around, how much of the true light of the sun, moon and stars will fall to the earth? Not to mention that in the ancient times, the boundless sea of ​​stars all had owners."

Do you really think that those who have attained enlightenment through spiritual roots, or even other holy gods and immortals, don't want to create more Three Lights Divine Water?
Even if it is not used to make up for one's own shortcomings, it is good to always have it on hand as a life-saving magic item.

But why don't they do it?

That's all.

The sun, the moon, and the stars have always had owners since the creation of the world. The light of the sun, the moon, and the ancient stars are all first-class magical powers.

Do you think that the owner would let such a good thing fall into the wilderness so easily?

Even the falling starlight of various levels has been touched by its owner.

The remaining falling starlight has long lost a fraction of the mighty power of the stars. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are useless garbage thrown away in the wilderness.

Who else would like to accumulate these garbage and combine them to make the Three Lights Divine Water?

In addition, those star gods have never been in harmony, so it is extremely difficult to find them to work together to refine the Three Lights Divine Water.

is also like this.

This kind of holy water has always been a rare commodity and very scarce since the creation of the ancient world.

"I see. If Senior Sister hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known."

"No wonder. Nowadays, many gods in the heaven are star gods. It seems that since the creation of the world, these billions of stars have been first-class places to go."

"Of course! Otherwise, how did the Great Array of Stars in the Heavens come about?"

Whether it is the heavenly court today or the demon court in the past, there are star gods and star kings above all the stars.

With the combined power of the stars, you can fight against even the saints!

This shows how great its power is.

Even this is the majesty that only appeared after countless ancient stars had fallen.

"Senior Sister, if I get the diagram of the Great Array of Stars, do you think I can refine the Great Array again?"

Hearing the Holy Mother Wu Dang talking about the great formation of the stars in the sky, Sun Wukong naturally thought of Changyang Mountain and the possibility that he might obtain the formation diagram of that great formation in the future.

But Sun Wukong remembered that everyone in Jiejiao was good at setting up formations.

During the time of the Conferred Gods Tribulation, the disciples of the Jie Sect set up many large formations, causing the Chen Sect to suffer untold losses.

"Difficult! But possible."

The Holy Mother Wu Dang did not ask how Sun Wukong found the diagram of the Great Array of Stars in the Heavens, but only said: "As for that great array, you know it just by hearing its name. It requires the cooperation and mutual assistance of all the stars in the heavens to be established. Nowadays, all the stars in the prehistoric world are inhabited by gods and immortals."

Without the Jade Emperor's order, who can fully mobilize the power of billions of stars?

Even if the Jade Emperor himself issued an edict, it would be difficult.

In today's ancient heaven, the light of billions of stars has long been divided up openly or secretly by various immortals, emperors, and star gods.

Among them, of course, there were works by the Jade Emperor, and there were also works by several saints afterwards.

Having witnessed the power of the Demon Court's Star Array in the past, it is not surprising that such a result would occur.

"Senior Sister, I heard that as long as there are suitable formation flags, a large formation can be set up?"

"That's true, but where did the flag come from? It was made from the essence of various stars, star iron and other star objects. Such a divine object can only be produced in a few thousand years. Where did you find it?"

"Without the blessing of such a divine object, it would be a joke to want to transform the flags into stars."

"Not to mention, the sun and the moon are the great forces. Without the help of the sun, the moon and the stars, you can't even dream of setting up such a large formation."

"It is true that the Star Lord is missing from the Sun, but the Star Lord of the Moon is still here."

Sun Wukong...

He suspected that his senior sister was trying to undermine his self-confidence.

How can it be so difficult to set up a large formation? After hearing what the Holy Mother Wu Dang said, it seemed like it would never be possible.

It's really annoying.

"Senior sister, after hearing what you said, I don't have to think about setting up such a large formation and using the treasure to suppress the left and right to compete with the saints."

"You monkey, you say you're defeated before you even start the battle! Don't forget that many of your brothers and sisters are now in the heavens. If you really want to sacrifice the star array flag in the future, go find them more often. Can they say no?"

"It's just that it's impossible to form a formation in a short period of time."

After hearing what Wu Dang Sheng Mu said, Sun Wukong suddenly understood and felt that it was possible again.

But then I thought, "Sister, don't you think it's fun to tease monkeys?"

It was you who said that the formation was difficult, and now it is still you who agreed to sacrifice and refine the star formation flag, my senior sister!
It's really like teasing a monkey.

"Haha... you monkey, I can't tease you anymore."

Seeing Sun Wukong's grinning face, Wu Dang Shengmu didn't think it was a big deal. Instead, she laughed out loud, "Okay, don't worry. I just want to tell you that some things are hard to accomplish by one person. In the future, go visit your brothers and sisters more often."

"Since Senior Sister is not able to go up to heaven, please run a little further."

After hearing what Wu Dang Sheng Mu said, Sun Wukong also fell silent.

There are some things in Jiejiao that Sun Wukong really can't say much about.

……

Deep in the underworld, on the reincarnation platform.

The Three Nether Arhats followed Maitreya Buddha closely, escaping through the air with light all the way, and soon arrived at the Netherworld, where they also found Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

At this moment.

Two Bodhisattvas were standing on the reincarnation platform, looking quietly at the entrance to the six realms of reincarnation before them.

At this moment, there are countless ghosts, without any mind, lining up one by one as if by instinct, to enter the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn.

This situation has lasted for countless years, and there has been no change at all.

Two Bodhisattvas came here.

Of course, it was because I had received guidance from Empress Pingxin before, and after searching everywhere, I could not figure out what the relationship was between the six realms of reincarnation and Li Shimin's soul, so I came here to gain enlightenment and guidance.

Unfortunately, after two or three days, nothing was gained.

"I am a Buddha of infinite power, and I have seen the future Buddha!"

"I have seen Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Do you know where the Tang King's soul has gone?"

"I don't know yet."

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head, looking bitter, "Future Buddha, you have come here under the guidance of my Buddha, do you have any way to find the whereabouts of the Tang King's soul?"

Now, Emperor Tang Li Shimin in Chang'an City has been in a coma for more than ten days.

If it weren't for the magical powers of Buddhism that were constantly watching over him, he would have died long ago, let alone come back to life.

There are countless eyes staring at us inside and outside Chang'an City now.

If Buddhism really fails, I'm afraid it will be laughed at by all the gods and immortals. It will be a shame, and it will be humiliated to the whole world.

“That’s what I’m coming for.”

Maitreya Buddha nodded and showed the Karma Mahayana Mirror in his hand, "With this treasure, we can definitely find the soul of the Tang King! The two Bodhisattvas, you have the Karma Qi of the Tang King in your hands. It's just right to use this treasure to find the various causes and effects of the Tang King."

"It's this treasure! It seems that King Tang will definitely be resurrected today."

As soon as they saw the treasure in Maitreya Buddha's hand, both Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva felt at peace and refreshed.

As two of the four great Bodhisattvas, they naturally knew the mystery of the Mahayana Mirror of Cause and Effect.

present.

Guanyin Bodhisattva stretched out her hand and a chance for Li Shimin's cause and effect was delivered to Maitreya Buddha.

Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the underworld from Chang'an, so Li Shimin's cause and effect energy was naturally not bad.

"Alright! Let me cast a spell and give it a try. Mahayana Mirror, out!"

With the cause and effect energy, Maitreya Buddha shook the cause and effect Mahayana mirror in his hand. With the blessing of all kinds of Buddha light, faint Sanskrit sounds were heard, and the light on the mirror, which was only the size of a palm, suddenly became bright and shone fiercely on the cause and effect energy.

In an instant, the aura changed for no reason and gradually turned into the appearance of Li Shimin.

Then, Li Shimin's figure, which seemed real but unreal, took one step at a time in the mirror light and moved towards a certain direction.

I walked and stopped, and was nowhere to go for a long time.

See this.

Maitreya Buddha's mind suddenly moved, and a dazzling Buddhist light crown appeared behind him, with endless Buddha light shining above. On the left and right, there were shadows of monks, arhats, and bodhisattvas chanting various Buddhist scriptures, in order to lead people to the boundless way of cause and effect and the majestic Buddhist Dharma.

Eventually, they converged into a bunch of Buddhist texts and seal characters with unparalleled spiritual charm, which continuously blessed the Mahayana mirror of cause and effect.

With such Buddhist rhyme and Buddhist blessings, the Mahayana Mirror of Cause and Effect instantly emitted a magical light, illuminating the underworld from top to bottom, and even extending all the way to the six realms of reincarnation.

Until it finally stopped on Shura Daosheng.

At this moment.

Li Shimin's figure actually walked quickly towards the Shura Road...

Seeing this, the Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and future Buddhas present instantly understood that Li Shimin's soul had indeed entered the six realms of reincarnation, but had gone to the Asura realm!

"It really is the Six Paths of Reincarnation. It is actually the Shura Path! Could it be that the Styx Patriarch has taken action?"

"Ninety-nine percent!"

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the future Buddha to go to that sea of ​​blood."

Now that we have found the whereabouts of Li Shimin's soul, we should feel at ease.

But the Bodhisattvas and Arhats present at the scene could not feel at ease, for they all knew how sacred the Lord of Shura Road and the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood were!
It’s hard to say what the outcome will be if Li Shimin’s soul falls into his hands!
"That's how it should be."

Maitreya Buddha nodded slightly and said, "If I go to the sea of ​​blood alone, I am afraid that I may not succeed. How about the two Bodhisattvas go together?"

Maitreya Buddha's current cultivation level has naturally already reached the quasi-sage Hunyuan realm.

But at the same level, he didn't dare to say what he could do to the Styx Patriarch. Especially going to the blood sea alone was too risky.

The title of Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood is not given for nothing.

Standing on the sea of ​​blood, the ancestor of the Styx is almost inherently invincible.

And if you want to capture him in the sea of ​​blood, you have to rely on the help of a saint.

"If the future Buddha says so, then we will go together."

"That's right. Sanming Arhat, please go to Lingshan Mountain in the west and report the news to the Buddha!"

A future Buddha and two great Bodhisattvas went to the sea of ​​blood, but they still couldn't say how much advantage they could get from the ancestor of the Styx, and whether they could save the soul of King Tang.

Therefore, what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said was actually a disguised way of wanting the Three Nether Arhats to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to ask for reinforcements.

No matter how murderous the Styx Patriarch is, he can never escape the threat from the entire Buddhist community!

……

Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, West Market Tavern.

After returning from Qianyuan Mountain, Sun Wukong returned to Chang'an City.

originally.

According to Sun Wukong's idea, he wanted to go to the inner chaos to meet Nuwa and see if he could ask this dear mother to help his senior sister.

But after hinting at it.

Sun Wukong discovered that there were some unexplainable difficulties between Jiejiao and Nuwa in the past.

During the Conferred Gods Tribulation, Nuwa wanted to destroy the Shang Dynasty, but it happened that the Jiejiao supported the Shang Dynasty, which led to a lot of consequences.

As a direct disciple of the sage Tongtian, he had to watch his fellow disciples die and become gods.

It is really inappropriate to let the Holy Mother Wu Dang ask for help from the Goddess Nuwa now.

When he was a disciple of the Jie Sect, wasn’t there a saint?
After knowing the cause and effect, Sun Wukong did not force anything, but returned to Chang'an City and continued to watch the excitement of Buddhism.

"...Tsk tsk, it's been nearly half a month, and we still don't know whether Li Shimin is alive or dead?"

"Hehe, if those two Bodhisattvas really can't find Li Shimin's soul, it will be a big event. I wonder if the human sages in the Fire Cloud Cave will take action. If this attracts the three human emperors, it will be great."

Don’t think that the emperor is not a saint!

Humanity is the most sacred thing. In some ways, with the help of the great power of humanity, one can also possess some saintly abilities!

It is definitely not something that any ordinary quasi-saint Hunyuan can contend with.

Otherwise, do you really think that now that humanity is flourishing and the human race has occupied one path of humanity, the other myriad races in the prehistoric world are completely willing?
It's just that they can't beat them, and they can't resist.

Everything that the human race has now was acquired step by step since its birth.

"Hey, this breath..."

Sun Wukong opened his golden pupils and suddenly looked at the inner courtyard of the Tang Palace. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Is this Princess Iron Fan? What is she doing in Chang'an City? Why does she want to enter the palace? What is that blood-colored glow on her body..."

Sun Wukong never expected to meet Mrs. Niu in Chang'an City.

Moreover, she sneaked into the palace in a mysterious and cautious manner. Judging from the direction, she was heading towards the place where Li Shimin was recuperating.

This is obvious.

It is very likely that Mrs. Niu came here for Li Shimin.

But think about it.

Sun Wukong couldn't figure out what kind of relationship there was between Mrs. Niu and Li Shimin that could allow her to sneak into the inner courtyard of the imperial palace at the risk of being slapped to death by countless arhats and bodhisattvas in the city.

"Do you want to go over and take a look? Why does Old Sun feel that this is not the work of Madam Niu herself?"

Sun Wukong fiddled with the wine cup in his hand, still not intending to move, "Who cares? Whoever loves him. We already have the Buddhist sect, and now there is another Rakshasa woman..."

"Wait! No! Rakshasa..."

Sun Wukong suddenly seemed to have thought of something. His eyes widened and he used his Golden Pupil to the utmost.

As he looked closely, the blood on Mrs. Niu's body gradually came into his sight, and the various auras of darkness, murder, evil, Shura, etc. contained in it also made them clear to Sun Wukong.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. Once you understand it, Sun Wukong was very surprised.

Need I say more about this bloodiness?

In the ancient world, apart from the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood and the Ancestor of the Styx, there is probably no one else who can create such an obscure thing.

It is extremely evil, but it is born with a sense of murderousness and natural lightness.

Such an irrelevant Taoist rhyme, what kind of demons, ghosts or gods can create this thing.

The great way is simple and pure!

Generally speaking, what immortals and gods want in their practice is a pure and unobstructed state. Only in this way can they practice the ultimate truth and see the beginning of the great way.

How can there be a method that is obviously evil and crooked, a way of killing that is naturally mixed with the elements of lightness and nature?

There were also smoke signals of blood and flames, which looked extremely bloody.

Who else could it be if not the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood!

"So, this Madam Niu is very likely to have met the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood and received his inheritance? She has already mastered the Way of the Sea of ​​Blood..."

"In this case, it is very likely that this Madam Niu came here to follow orders. What exactly does the Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood want to do?"

Want to use Princess Iron Fan to kill Li Shimin?

Thus completely ruining the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures and causing trouble for Buddhism?

It's possible.

However, in Sun Wukong's opinion, if the Styx Patriarch simply meant this, then...
