Journey to the West, this Sun Wukong is too persuasive

Chapter 228 Ksitigarbha’s obsession

Many strong men were attracted by the movement beside the sea of ​​blood. In the end, Meng Po left only the strong men related to the tunnel, such as Emperor Qinghua, Emperor Dongyue, Lord Yama, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the leader of the Netherworld.

Others left the sea of ​​​​blood with shock that could not be subsided for a long time.

Sun Wukong agreed to let Ksitigarbha participate in establishing the city god system.

Because hell is an indispensable part of the order of reincarnation, and the City God system, as a supplement and perfection of the six paths of reincarnation, naturally cannot circumvent hell.

However, Ksitigarbha's guarding of hell has been approved by the Second Saint of the West. He cannot be driven away immediately, so he can only be dragged in.

This can also play a certain role in dividing Buddhism.

This is because Ksitigarbha belongs to the lineage of future Buddhas in Buddhism. Like Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Mahasthamaprapta and others, he is a disciple of the original Western religion.

In terms of status, his status in Buddhism is no less than that of the future Buddha, and he is in a league of his own.

Maybe we can use this to extend the City God system to Xiniu Hezhou in the future.

Sun Wukong remembered a reward he got from opening the box a long time ago, namely Ksitigarbha's obsession.

This monk was a ruthless man. He had made a great wish that he would not become a Buddha until hell was empty.

But this is not his obsession. His obsession is the great development of Buddhism and the solution to all the suffering in the world.

However, unlike many Buddhist monks, in Ksitigarbha's heart, the promotion of Buddhism is only a method, and resolving the suffering in the world is the ultimate goal.

In other words, as long as it can relieve suffering, he will do it, no matter what the cost.

The establishment of the city god system can help this matter.

As for whether Ksitigarbha will inform Buddhism about the City God system, Sun Wukong looked at the middle-aged monk with a compassionate face and felt no worries.

"Hehe, so what if I know?"

It's okay if Buddhism doesn't stop it. If it dares to stop the establishment of the City God system, it will offend all the vested interests.

Soon, when the other strong men left the sea of ​​​​blood, Meng Po, leaning on crutches, looked at Emperor Qinghua, Ksitigarbha, Emperor Dongyue, and King Yama who were left behind, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has seen the situation just now. Here we are, the tunnel can be completed,

All this is thanks to Sun Wukong, the great emperor of Fengdu, who proposed the idea that made the tunnel stronger. "

The four of them were still wondering why Meng Po wanted to keep them here. After hearing this, Emperor Qinghua and Ksitigarbha were quite calm. Emperor Dongyue Huang Feihu and Lord Yama looked at Sun Wukong with admiration and admiration. admire.

It can be said that they have witnessed the changes of Sun Wukong over the past 200 years, and now they can only look up.

At the same time, the four of them also knew that what they were going to do next was still related to Sun Wukong.

Sure enough, I heard Po Meng continue: "The completion of the tunnel has just begun. Sun Wukong also proposed an idea to add a city god in the underworld as the god of the underworld connecting the underworld and the human world to complete the order of reincarnation and improve the tunnel. "

City God?

After hearing this, not only Emperor Qinghua, Ksitigarbha, Emperor Dongyue, and King Yama, but also Zhen Yuanzi and Ancestor Minghe became curious.

In the three realms of Dangji, the underworld and the human world are two independent realms that do not interfere with each other except for reincarnation.

So what can this city god do?
Sun Wukong smiled and introduced the God system in detail: "The city god is the Yin god who protects the city in the world. It is equivalent to the Yang officials sent by the human dynasty to various places. He is in charge of all the affairs of the underworld here, such as attracting the souls of the dead, rewarding good and punishing evil, Life, death, misfortunes, blessings, etc..."

Everyone present was either a quasi-sage or in charge of the affairs of the underworld. After hearing this, they immediately understood the beauty of the City God system.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Emperor Qinghua praised. "The position of the City God of the Yins is similar to the land, mountain gods, water gods, etc. enshrined by Heaven in the human world." Zhen Yuanzi also nodded, "If there are City Gods everywhere in the human world, then the underworld and the human world will be closer, both in the tunnels and the human world. Great benefit.”

"I fully support it." Ancestor Minghe said solemnly, and stared at Ksitigarbha. Obviously he knew the grudge between Sun Wukong and Buddhism.

"Amitabha, very good, very good." Ksitigarbha recited the Buddha's name to express his agreement.

Dongyue Emperor Huang Feihu and Lord Yama had no objections, because they had no decision-making power in this matter.

At this time, Sun Wukong said again: "Old Sun proposed that the establishment of the city god should be supervised by Emperor Dongyue Taishan, and be implemented by King Yama, Lord of the Underworld."

No one objected to the proposal, leaving the two of them alone was for this purpose.

Huang Feihu and King Yama also knew this and quickly saluted Sun Wukong respectfully: "Thank you, Emperor Ziwei."

This is to give them credit, and the establishment of the City God system is of great benefit to them. It can increase their power and enhance their reputation in the world.

Sun Wukong showed his majesty and was of course very happy. Then he and Po Meng arranged the specific matters of the City God system.

Ksitigarbha has been watching silently not far away. Seeing this, his mood is complicated.

I remember that in order to take revenge on King Yama, King Guang of Qin sent ghost messengers to seduce Sun Wukong's soul, which caused big trouble.

In order to preserve the power of Buddhism in the underworld, he chose to support King Qin Guang and did something unjust. In the end, the Buddha's heart was damaged.

The incident of seduction also made him discover that Sun Wukong was the destiny of the Buddhist scriptures, so he passed the news to Lingshan, and the Buddhists began to plan for the spread of Buddhism eastward.

But I didn't expect that since then, the Monkey King has been like a wild horse that has escaped the reins. No matter in terms of strength or identity, he has soared all the way to the top level of the three realms, which is incredible.

In addition to his own strength, Sun Wukong is already the leader of the four emperors in the heaven, Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor, who holds a heavy army.

In the underworld, there is the Northern Yin Fengdu Emperor, who also holds a high position of power. Now he is conspiring with ancient powers such as Hou Tu, Zhen Yuanzi, and Ancestor Minghe to strengthen the tunnel.

It seems that only in the human world, Sun Wukong's power is not so obvious.

Thinking of this, Ksitigarbha couldn't help but sigh: "Gains and losses are unpredictable."

He wanted Buddhism to flourish because he wanted to understand all the hardships in the world, not to pursue the heights of Buddhism.

However, Sun Wukong's strong rise has forced the spread of Buddhism eastward to be temporarily shelved.

I thought that the future would be difficult and dangerous, but I didn't expect that Monkey King would now bring new variables.

Just like finding new ways to strengthen tunnels, establishing a city god system, and improving the order of reincarnation, it can also greatly reduce the suffering in this world.

In addition, Sun Wukong has already done Hell a big favor this time.

The evil ghosts and resentful spirits in hell carry a lot of hostility, resentment, evil spirits and other filthy auras.

After they were redeemed, the filthy air left behind had nowhere to go and could only turn into boundless karma fire in hell.

But this time, thanks to Sun Wukong's idea, Patriarch Styx allowed the Netherworld Blood Sea to connect to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, so that these filthy gases had a place to go, and the pressure in hell was suddenly reduced.

Because the Netherworld Blood Sea is the gathering place for all kinds of filthy energy.
