Chapter 22 King Yama's face turned green
Can’t the underworld learn from others? Not to mention the Nine Clans, doesn’t there have a master in the Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave?
As he finished speaking, King Yama and the others' faces turned green.
Oh shit!
Patriarch Bodhi is older than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Ksitigarbha is their immediate superior. Who the hell would be so stupid as to capture your master?
Still arresting souls?
With Bodhi's quasi-saintly cultivation, even all the Yama Kings in the underworld combined are not enough to defeat him!
Facing Sun Wukong's question, King Yama sighed and said, "That's not necessary. Your master is old, and his soul is too tired from traveling back and forth."
"Then I have fellow apprentices in the Xieyue Sanxing Cave. As long as you can capture their souls and come to see me, I might be happy enough to admit the guilt."
Sun Wukong was already laughing so hard in his heart.
The emperor also executed nine generations of his clan!
I have so many fellow disciples.
If you locked up my master and fellow apprentices and tortured them every day, wouldn't I give in?
King Yama was completely embarrassed.
What the fuck?
This monkey is actually a dog, a dog in monkey skin!
I have never seen such a shameless person!
Whoever becomes your master or fellow apprentice is simply the retribution from your past life.
Threatening, bribing, and enticing are all useless.
For a moment, there was an awkward situation in the warehouse.
King Taishan rolled his eyes and said, "Take him away."
After Sun Wukong left.
King Taishan laughed and said, "Don't worry, just move the Wangxiangtai to his cell. I have my own tricks to deal with him."
Whoosh, whoosh…
Two ghost officials, holding swords and dragging iron chains and hooks, pulled Sun Wukong out of the warehouse.
"Bang..."
The door is closed.
King Yama said impatiently: "Tell me quickly, what ideas do you have?"
The other eight kings of hell also looked sideways.
"Say it."
"Speak quickly, speak quickly."
King Taishan looked pleased, and said as he glanced at everyone, "Everyone, all the threats and inducements have failed, and every time he speaks, he sounds like a high monk.
This person has seen through life and death."
King Yama nodded and said, "Yes, that's the case."
"Yes Yes."
"Yeah, that's right."
King Taishan continued, "It doesn't matter if he has seen through life and death. We can send some ghosts to the Flower-Fruit Mountain to kill all his monkeys and grandchildren.
What do you think he would think when he saw people slaughtering his monkeys and descendants?"
King Yama slapped his thigh and said happily, "Great, great hahahaha..."
"Okay! Hahaha."
"If he saw it, he would definitely fight his way out of the underworld to avenge his monkeys and descendants."
"Okay, as long as he gets out of the underworld, our accounts will be settled."
The Wheel King frowned and said, "Everyone, those monkeys' life spans haven't come to an end yet?"
Everyone was speechless and glanced at him blankly.
What is life span?
The underworld ordered them to die at three o'clock in the morning, so they cannot survive past five o'clock.
It’s not like the book of life and death has been modified before.
They are just a few monkeys.
"This is a great plan!"
King Chu Jiang slammed the table, his face grim, "Ghost, I'll make the arrangements."
King Taishan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's lock him up for a few days. Maybe he can't stand it and will destroy the underworld directly."
"That's right, let's make arrangements first. If he doesn't make trouble, then we'll take action."
"it is good!"
Deep in hell.
On the black lotus platform, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva closed his eyes slightly and made hand gestures.
"Good, good... For the sake of the prosperity of Buddhism, this is the only way.
Those monkeys, due to the cycle of karma, fell into the animal realm.
Killing them is to give them relief.
In the next life, I will make the decision to let them reincarnate into the three higher realms. This will be considered a good deed and will bring immeasurable merits. Good, good, good..."
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, thinking over what Sun Wukong had said.
After a while, he couldn't help but sigh.
"This boy has seen through life and death, has a deep wisdom, and possesses supreme wisdom. The Spiritual Stone Monkey is indeed not an ordinary person.
I should pass on a volume of scriptures to him to help him achieve enlightenment.”
Having made up his mind, he slightly opened his lips and made a 'buzzing' sound.
……
cell.
The prison cell in the underworld is dark and cold.
With a bang, the prison door was locked and the two ghost officers left.
Sun Wukong walked to the corner of the cell, sat down cross-legged, and leaned against the wall.
I secretly thought that I could make Patriarch Bodhi's mood break.
You can then bring down the Ten Kings of Hell and break everyone’s defense.
Let them do whatever they want, I'll just do it.
Swing it all the way to the end. Swing it to the death.
Having made up his mind, he wanted to lean against the wall and take a nap.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a solemn and dignified voice ringing in my ears.
"The Buddha told Subhuti, all Bodhisattvas-Mahasattvas...all sentient beings
Whether it is born from an egg, born from the womb, born from moisture, born from transformation, with form, without form... with the appearance of a human, a living being, or a long-lived being, then it is not a Bodhisattva..."
Sun Wukong was shocked.
It’s the Diamond Sutra, he already knew how to recite it.
Suddenly I remembered that there is a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in hell.
A quarter of an hour later, the chanting of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came to an abrupt end.
Sun Wukong thought to himself, damn it, please stop chanting, it's buzzing like a fly.
Unexpectedly, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to be afraid that he would not remember it, so he started to recite it again in a humming voice.
"The Buddha told Subhuti, all Bodhisattvas-Mahasattvas ..."
Still reading?
Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, you want to recite the scriptures, right? I will recite them too."
From today on, I, Sun, will no longer be a monkey, but a Buddha.
I miss them so much.
He then clasped his hands together, looked solemn, and began to recite with his lips slightly.
"The Buddha told Subhuti, all Bodhisattvas-Mahasattvas...whether born from eggs or from the womb..."
Before traveling through time, he had read quite a few Buddhist scriptures.
Chanting scriptures is not difficult for him.
In order to prevent Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he continued to be a fly, and gradually his voice became louder and louder.
Almost everyone in the underworld has heard of it.
Reciting Buddhist scriptures in the underworld can alleviate suffering and ultimately lead to liberation.
As his voice grew louder, the ghost guarding him also sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and listened to the sutra.
Gradually, more and more ghost officers appeared at the prison door.
They all sat cross-legged, facing Sun Wukong with their palms folded, their faces showing a calm and relaxed look.
It's deep in hell now.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly opened his eyes and looked moved.
"Good, good, the prosperity of our Buddhism will surely come from this child... This child has a deep Buddha nature and will surely become a Buddha."
