Chapter 23 Master Sun's Teachings

Western sky.

Daleiyin Temple.

The Tathagata sat high on the lotus platform and spoke slowly, "Venerable Guanyin, how is the pilgrim?"

Bodhisattva Guanyin closed his eyes slightly, made hand gestures, calculated and said: "Report to the Buddha, the pilgrim has entered the three reincarnations."

"Ah."

Tathagata nodded and asked, "How about the monkey?"

Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara flipped his fingers and continued to deduce, and suddenly his eyes widened.

The others were all surprised when they saw this.

They all looked at him.

Upon seeing this, Tathagata closed his eyes, and after a moment he frowned slightly.

After a long while, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara said, "He...he is actually spreading Buddhism..."

"What did you say?"

"What is he doing?"

The arhats and bodhisattvas sitting on the ground were all speechless.

He is a monkey, how can he spread Buddhism?

What kind of Buddhism is he promoting?

Shouldn't he make a scene?
"Um……"

Tathagata said "hmm" softly, and the hall immediately returned to silence.

He frowned slightly, and began to recite magic spells as he quickly deduced the truth.

He deduced for half an hour before he heaving a sigh of relief, feeling more and more puzzled.

no problem.

The general trend of Journey to the West has not changed at all.

Why did this monkey suddenly change his temperament?

He suddenly remembered what Patriarch Bodhi said, that this boy was a filial and honest person.

At that time, he just found it funny, a monkey full of hostility.

How can he be considered a filial and honest person?

But now it seems that this monkey is not only filial and honest.

He seems to have great respect for Buddhism...

But... the journey to the West has been arranged.

The interests of all parties must be taken into consideration, otherwise the spread of Buddhism to the East will be difficult to proceed smoothly as there will be obstacles everywhere.

If you don't let the underworld settle the accounts, they won't cooperate...

This……

"Buddha, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will definitely make arrangements, no need to worry."

Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara folded his hands and said.

"Ah."

Tathagata nodded.

Make up your mind and wait and see.

The pilgrim needs to reincarnate ten times before he can be reborn in the East, so there is no rush.

time flies.

The next month is half a month.

After half a month, Sun Wukong started to recite scriptures when he had free time.

And a little weird at the same time.

It was too quiet for half a month.

The underworld didn't take any action at all.

"No, is this the end?"

Sun Wukong leaned against the wall, thinking secretly.

In the past, Monkey King was illiterate and his handwriting was just scribbles, but he was different.

The underworld has a lot of bad debts, why don’t they fight for it?
He said to the ghost outside the cell: "My fellow donors, what is the joy of living, and what is the pain of dying?

When you understand life and death, you should be reborn quickly..."

Everyone bowed down together: "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment."

……

Yama Palace. On this day, all the ten Yama Palaces gathered together.

After everyone drank two sips of tea, King Yama spoke first, "Everyone, how is the monkey?"

"He... he is spreading Buddhism."

King Taishan frowned.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Everyone was shocked.

"He recited sutras every day, and the prison door was filled with ghost messengers, listening to his sutras every day."

The Yama Palace suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

The Ten Kings of Hell were all silent at once.

After a long while, King Taishan said, "How about we do it quickly?"

"Then... let's give it a try."

"We can't wait any longer. Let's get rid of his monkeys and grandchildren."

King Yama slammed the table and said, "Get started! Send Wangxiangtai to his cell immediately. Let's go and take a look."

"it is good."

The Ten Yama Kings stood up and left the Yama Palace, and after a moment they entered a cell on the side.

They lay on the wall and observed the situation inside through the holes in the wall.

Sun Wukong was seen sitting solemnly with his hands clasped together, and strings of scriptures floated out of his mouth.

Outside the door, piles of ghost officials were listening with fascination and were unusually quiet.

King Taishan waved his hand, and seven or eight ghost officials carried a black stone and walked towards the cell where Sun Wukong was imprisoned.

He blasted away the ghost messenger who was listening to the sutra, opened the cell, placed the Wangxiang Stone in front of him, and Judge Cui said:

"Sun Wukong, you have committed a heinous crime and should be condemned to the eighteenth level of hell forever.

Take one last look at the Flower-Fruit Mountain, and then I’ll send you off.”

Yo! Looking at the Wangxiang Terrace in front of him, Sun Wukong laughed secretly. Sure enough, he was going to attack my monkeys and grandchildren.

Fortunately, as soon as I, Old Sun, swung my weapon to the end, the monkeys and grandchildren had already run away.

He pretended to be deep and said slowly: "President Cui..."

"Oh."

Judge Cui's eyes lit up, thinking that he was begging for mercy and complaining, so he said, "If you have anything else to say, please tell me quickly."

Sun Wukong put his hands together and pretended to be deep: "Amitabha...President Cui clings to power and is too greedy. If this continues, he will inevitably go astray.

My method can help you escape the cycle of reincarnation and prolong your life. It has many mysteries, and I will pass them on to you today."

As he spoke, he imitated Patriarch Bodhi, waved his hands, and said slowly: "Come, come, come closer."

"Uh……"

Judge Cui was dumbfounded.

The more he looked at Sun Wukong, the more he looked like a great monk.

You are still in the underworld, and you are still thinking about saving people?

If this trend continues, the underworld’s bad debts will definitely not be settled.

"Come, come, come closer."

Sun Wukong laughed inwardly and continued to pretend to be a great monk.

"Cough, cough, cough..." A coughing sound came from the cell next door, reminding Judge Cui to visit Xiangshi quickly.

Judge Cui understood and said hurriedly, "Uh... Master Sun, let's put the matter of teaching the Dharma aside for now.

You will stay in the eighteenth level of hell from now on. We have plenty of time.

Well, you should first look at your monkeys and grandchildren."

As he spoke, he took the judge's pen and knocked it on the dark Wangxiang Stone.

A ball of fluorescent light came out from the Wangxiang Stone, and then ripples appeared in front of my eyes.

A curtain of light suddenly appeared.

Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes and saw a group of evil spirits jumping up and down on the Flower-Fruit Mountain. They were holding iron chains and sharp hooks, and were having a great time fighting with the little monsters on the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Moreover, there are a large number of evil spirits, and little demons die tragically from time to time.

He watched for a while and almost laughed out loud.

It turned out that the people who were fighting against the evil ghosts were not his monkeys and descendants, but the Bull Demon King's gang.

Watched for a while.

Sun Wukong was laughing to death in his heart, but he pretended to watch for a while, put his hands together, and continued to chant:
"What joy is there in life, and what pain is there in death? I will pray for their souls to be reborn. The Buddha told Subhuti, all Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas..."
