Chapter 35 Master Sun, Please Show Mercy
King Chu Jiang said: "I am drinking Xifeng wine today. Last year, an old Taoist priest performed the art of borrowing life and offered me twenty jars of wine. I have never been willing to drink it."

"No, no! If you want to drink, drink the royal wine from heaven. Why drink the west wind?" said Sun Wukong.

King Chujiang turned around and glared at Sun Wukong: "What are you thinking? You want to drink the imperial wine from heaven. We brothers have low positions and powers, how can we drink the imperial wine?"

"That's right, you are stupid." The Wheel King pointed at Sun Wukong.

"Still want to drink... uh..." King Taishan turned his head and widened his eyes. Damn, isn't this the monkey? Why is he outside?
"You, you, you..."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "What's wrong with me? You don't want to listen to the sutra, do you?"

“No, no, no.” The ten kings of hell waved their hands in unison and stepped back, staring at him with big, frightened eyes.

"What do you see?"

King Yama seemed to have just come to his senses and screamed, "Sun Wukong!!!"

"It's me, Lord Buddha. Why?"

"You...ah!!!" King Yama hugged his head and screamed.

The other nine kings of hell also stared at him in amazement.

Lunzhuan Wangdao: "That's not right. We had already put the ban in place when we lit the fire. How come you were able to come out?"

So that's how it is, Sun Wukong nodded secretly, and I said that when I walked out of the cell, I felt a layer of restriction, and it turned out that they put it there.

"Your ban is too bad."

"Impossible. The restriction released by the ten of us together can easily lock up Taiyi Jinxian."

"Oh." Sun Wukong's eyes lit up. It seemed that the Nine Revolutions Profound Art could not only train the body, but also the soul.

Otherwise, you can't get out at all.

Suddenly, King Yama fell to his knees and said, "Master Sun, please, let us go."

Some of the Book of Life and Death were burned.

But Sun Wukong was not in the cell, so it couldn't be blamed on him.

The ten kings of hell all collapsed and knelt on the ground crying.

"Master Sun, please be kind."

"Master Sun, please make your request."

"It's so hard for us."

Sun Wukong frowned slightly.

I guess something big must have happened in the underworld.

"Get up, get up. I am a little thirsty from chanting sutras. Bring me some tea quickly."

The ten kings of hell stood up one after another, each with a fawning smile on their face.

"Master Sun, please."

"Please, please, please."

The group entered Yama Palace, and King Yama pointed to the center and said, "Master Sun, please take a seat."

"Ah."

Sun Wukong took a sip of tea.

I secretly wondered what happened in the underworld?
Even if I wasn't taking the blame, they wouldn't have to be so anxious to burn the Book of Life and Death.

Also, why do they insist on me taking the blame?
Never mind, let’s give it a try first.

Putting down the tea bowl, Sun Wukong said, "Tell me, what happened? Why did you burn the Book of Life and Death in such a hurry? I will help you resolve it."

"Master Sun, you brought Judge Cui to file a complaint, and made a big deal out of it. The Buddha and the Jade Emperor want to check the Book of Life and Death. Once they find out everything, we will fall into the cycle of reincarnation." King Yama said with a bitter face.

Sun Wukong frowned and said, "Why do you insist on asking me to burn the Book of Life and Death?"

"We don't know, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said that only if you burn the Book of Life and Death can the underworld escape this disaster."

Strange, why is this? Isn't the Journey to the West about balancing the interests of all parties? Sun Wukong frowned slightly, why do you have to let me burn it? It's unreasonable.

There must be something going on here.

It seems that Journey to the West is not that simple.

The ten kings of hell knelt down together: "Master Sun, please have mercy on us."

Sun Wukong thought to himself, I absolutely won’t take the blame for this, so he just said it.

Whatever they want me to do, I won't do it.

As long as I don't have any ability, they can't order me around.

I was about to refuse, but then I changed my mind and thought, don't worry, let's wait and see what benefits I can get.

"I will help you bear this heavy crime. Do you have any reward for it?"

King Yama's eyes turned and he said, "Master Sun, we can help you change the Book of Life and Death and increase your lifespan by tens of thousands of years. How about that?"

Tens of thousands of years? Sun Wukong just thought it was funny. There is a system.

Sooner or later, my life span will be as long as the heaven, so tens of thousands of years are nothing.

"Are you cursing me to death?" said Sun Wukong.

King Yama hurriedly shook his hands and said, "No, no, Master Sun, we only have the power to modify the Book of Life and Death. We can't give you any other benefits."

"I can't give it to you. Then I can't help you fight the crime. Let's go back to the cell."

Sun Wukong wanted to force them, so he pretended to go back and lie down.

King Yama quickly grabbed him and said, "Master Sun, wait a minute, wait a minute."

"What are you doing? Let go." Sun Wukong pretended to be disgusted and shook it a few times: "Let go, let go."

The Wheel King smiled flatteringly and said, "Master Sun, please sit still for a moment while we discuss this."

"Well, since you look kind, I'll wait a little longer. But I warn you, don't try to fool me. Changing the Book of Life and Death is a serious crime. If you want me to plead guilty, you have to show your sincerity."

After Sun Wukong, the instigator of the crime, finished speaking, he simply leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

In the cell next door, the King of Hell saw this and felt hopeless. He didn't even pretend to be a high monk...

It's really a mess.

Time passed by minute by minute.

King Chujiang frowned and paced back and forth in the cell.

I remembered what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, that this matter must be resolved tonight.

I couldn't help but get more and more anxious.

A quarter of an hour later, he gritted his teeth and sat cross-legged in front of Sun Wukong:
"Just tell me what you want me to do in exchange for burning the Book of Life and Death."

Sun Wukong became more and more puzzled.

Why do you insist on making me burn the Book of Life and Death?
Others just make do with it.

For example, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, and Xiao Bailong.

They also want to travel west, so it’s better to let them burn it.

Why do you have to make me burn it?

Not burning.

He looked up, as if there was a huge secret in the cell.

The ten Yama Kings looked at each other and knew that this monkey was extremely difficult to deal with.

King Yama gave him a look.

King Chujiang frowned and pondered for a while.

He reached into his bosom and pulled out a mirror, then forced an ugly smile:

"Sun Wukong, this is the Yin-Yang Realm, through it you can control the six realms of reincarnation.

In other words, as long as you have it, you can even reopen a small underworld.

As long as you burn the Book of Life and Death, it will be yours."

What! Sun Wukong was shocked and surprised.

This thing is good.

Wait until I become a saint and carve up a small world for myself.

What is needed is a small underworld that is in charge of the six realms of reincarnation.

By the way, this thing alone is not enough, other things are also needed.

"Tell me, what other tools are there in the underworld that control the six realms of reincarnation?"

Seeing this, the Ten Kings of Hell next door even began to breathe faster.

There is a way.

They all wanted to rush in and introduce themselves to Sun Wukong in person.

Although the Yin-Yang Mirror is a good thing, giving it to him is better than falling into reincarnation.

King Chu Jiang said hurriedly: "First, there is the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen. The Book of Life and Death determines how long one will live, and the Judge's Pen determines the punishment after death. There is also the Soul-Catching Iron Chain and the Netherworld Pearl.

Carrying the Netherworld Pearl allows one to travel between the Yin and Yang worlds. The Soul-Catching Iron Chain is used to catch souls and lock up wandering souls.

Besides that……"

King Chu Jiang spoke quickly, introducing the props in the underworld one by one.

As he spoke, he seemed to be getting excited: "If we talk about the most precious treasure in our underworld, it is the Ruyi Liuli..."
