Journey to the West: Great Sage, please release the Tathagata child

Chapter 408 Helpless Tathagata

The underworld, which has been dark all year round and filled with evil spirits, ushered in three uninvited guests today.

I saw the Buddha's light shining all over the sky, and countless dead souls suddenly screamed in panic when they were suddenly irradiated by the golden light.

For a moment, the whole underworld was in chaos, which instantly alarmed Po Meng on the Naihe Bridge.

Po Meng raised her eyes to look at the gate of ghosts, her black eyebrows frowned suddenly. On the other side, King Yama, with the judge and other ghost messengers, hurried to the gate of ghosts.

Although he is the Lord of the Underworld, King Yama's status and cultivation naturally cannot be compared with Tathagata.

If it weren't for Po Meng and Ksitigarbha King to support the scene in the underworld, I am afraid that only a strong Jinxian peak can be used to mess up the underworld.

"The World-Honored One is here, and I welcome you from afar. Forgive me, forgive me!" Yan Luo Wang scolded the sky, but his face was full of smiles, and he saluted the Tathagata, Samantabhadra and Manjushri again and again.

The golden light converges, and the Tathagata reveals his true body, with Manjusri and Samantabhadra standing on both sides.

"Yan Luo Wang, you are guilty!" Tathagata came up and threw out such a sentence directly.

"Ah?" King Yan Luo was confused by this sentence. He didn't know what happened at all. Why did Tathagata bring Pu Xian and Manjusri Bodhisattvas to come to the door to inquire about sins?

"The World Honored One is joking. I have lived in the underworld for a long time, and I have been taking care of the housework all year round. I have never been slack in the slightest. I don't know what is the crime?"

King Yan Luo didn't take Tathagata's accusation seriously. Due to the gap in face and strength, he could only be aggrieved and perfunctory, but he didn't expect to anger Manjushri.

"Bold, dare to speak hard, the underworld colluded with Jiuling Yuansheng, so that they can open the Jiuyou Hell privately at will, drag Tang Sanzang into the Jiuyou Hell, life and death are uncertain, isn't this the fault of the underworld, not your fault ?"

Hearing this, Yan Luo Wang secretly groaned in his heart, this is really a crime that he wants to impose, so there is no excuse!

Who in Jiuyou Hell doesn’t know that it was suppressed by Ksitigarbha, and it has something to do with him, King Yama, so they dare to bully him. Why don’t you go directly to Ksitigarbha? You have to go around in circles and ask yourself, isn’t it? Bullying yourself is not as good as them!

"You guys are wronging this king. The Nine Nether Hell is under the jurisdiction of the Ksitigarbha King. The Nine Nether Hell, this king has never entered the Nine Nether Hell. I am afraid that you have found the wrong person. How many will the king wait to see the king of Ksitigarbha, and he will know when he asks."

King Yan Luo explained neither humble nor overbearing, but he had already greeted the Tathagata and other three ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

Although his cultivation level is not good, but he has been in the officialdom all year round, and he has figured out the hearts of thousands of people in the Three Realms.

Tathagata and his party made it clear that they did not dare to go directly to Ksitigarbha, so they came here to put pressure on them. His underworld is now under the jurisdiction of the heavens, and Buddhism is nothing, but they dare to bully themselves.

But in front of him is the underworld, if he fights against the Tathagata, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will be unlucky, so he simply leads the Tathagata and his party to Jiuyou Hell, and let them go to the lawsuit by themselves, anyway, the underworld will never get involved.

When Tathagata saw that Yama had brought him to the entrance of Jiuyou Hell, he turned around and ran away, the corners of his eyes twitching violently, but there was nothing he could do.

He originally wanted to put pressure on King Yama, and let King Yama put on a show and come with him, which can be regarded as double pressure on King Ksitigarbha from Buddhism and the underworld, but King Yama was not fooled, and Tathagata did not dare to force it. I was able to go up by myself.

"Ksitigarbha, do you know that the consequences of hindering the westward journey, I am here not to ask you for help, but to give you an ultimatum to release Tang Sanzang quickly, otherwise don't blame me for not showing mercy to you!"

The Tathagata threatened the Ksitigarbha who walked out of the Nine Nether Hells with a dark face. If it had been decades ago, the Tathagata would not have had to explain so many reasons to the Ksitigarbha. Tang Sanzang.

But now, I never expected that the Ksitigarbha King would actually comprehend the way of rebirth after some advice from Sun Xingzhe, and then the Ksitigarbha King’s strength would be greatly increased, and he would become a quasi-sage. Now he can compete with everyone in Buddhism except the two sages of the West.

Especially now that Ksitigarbha King is in the underworld, Tathagata has to be wary of the strong in the underworld, so he can only come first and then fight.

"Amitabha, Tathagata, now you are the master of Buddhism, you should set an example, but you are full of hostility. How do you know that this seat will not let Tang Sanzang leave, if he does not want to leave?" Ksitigarbha smiled lightly, He didn't care about Tathagata's accusations at all.

The current situation of Tang Sanzang is unknown to others, but the Ksitigarbha knows it clearly. If the Tathagata comes by force, it will probably be self-defeating, but the Ksitigarbha does not want to remind the other party.

"What do you mean?" Tathagata was also alert, frowning and asked.

"It's up to you." Ksitigarbha saw that Tathagata was not fooled, so he didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand lightly and opened the entrance of Nine Nether Hell. Tathagata and his party immediately saw Tang Sanzang in Nine Nether Hell.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang was in a state of sudden enlightenment, his whole body was full of golden light, and Jin Chanzi's golden body was clearly visible.

"Tang Sanzang suddenly enlightened? How is it possible that he suddenly realized Mahayana Buddhism in the Nine Nether Hell?" Manjushri exclaimed.

I have to admit that Tang Sanzang's growth rate is really amazing. Under the harsh conditions of Jiuyou Hell, he was able to break through the realm of epiphany, which must have something to do with Ksitigarbha.

"Ksitigarbha, you'd better not play tricks, or I will never forgive you!" Tathagata suddenly felt ashamed, and couldn't help but let out another cruel sentence.

But now that Tang Sanzang was in a state of epiphany, even he was not easy to disturb, and he didn't know how long Tang Sanzang's epiphany would last, so he couldn't help feeling anxious.

As far as practitioners are concerned, time is the most useless thing. After the cultivation base is promoted to the Golden Immortal Realm, which retreat and epiphany is not based on years. It is precisely because of this that the Tathagata is anxious.

After all, the time of epiphany can be long or short. If Tang Sanzang directly enlightened for 80 or [-] years, should Journey to the West continue?
But if Tang Sanzang's epiphany is forcibly interrupted, he will inevitably be criticized by all parties, even Buddhist disciples will be dissatisfied with him.

After all, a person can have several chances of epiphany in his life. If he is interrupted in the middle, it is very likely that he will never have the chance of epiphany in this life.

"Manjusri, Samantabhadra, you stay in the underworld for a while, watch Tang Sanzang, don't let any existence get close to him, and when Tang Sanzang's epiphany is completed, immediately lead him into the path of learning scriptures, and travel westward to measure kalpas. Don't delay any longer."

Tathagata gave an order, and Manjusri and Puxian immediately clasped their hands together and agreed.

In the end, the Tathagata could only return empty-handed, and the westward journey could only be forced to stop again.

Ksitigarbha didn't call Manjushri and Puxian either, and let them stay in Jiuyou Hell.

And this defense is ten years...
