Chapter 268 Divine Beast Listening
Lin Yan stared at the hall with a drop of cold sweat across his forehead.
It's a problem now. I didn't expect that the plot here will still slightly turn to the original...
In the original work of "Journey to the West", when the ghosts in the underworld were helpless, they also invited Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to let the divine beasts under him listen to distinguish the true and false Monkey King.
As for the subsequent plot, Lin Yan couldn't remember it clearly whether Diting found out, after all, it was a memory before time travel.
But what he is paying attention to now is not this.
"Your Excellency, you can still hear me?"
Lin Yan curled up and whispered to his arms.
"Don't look for me if you have nothing to do, just say it if you want to die."
After a moment, the impatient voice of the Skylark Lord echoed gently in Lin Yan's ears.
The general meaning of the Skylark Lord is that if you want to be discovered by the unpredictable Cui Jue, you will just be willing to die.
Lin Yan smiled angrily and said, "I still have a trace of doubts in my heart that have not been solved yet. If you are willing to help, I will be grateful."
“…Hmph, let’s go if you have a fart.”
The Skylark originally agreed in an unhappy tone.
"I didn't expect that there are also your Buddhist forces inserted into the underworld among the three realms?"
"Didn't you say it last time? I'll ask?"
"No, what I want to ask is, to where has Buddhism penetrated?"
"It has already taken root in the underworld about three thousand years ago. At that time, Buddhism and Fengdu were still working together. However, as Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains and complemented Taoism, the relationship between the Heavenly Court and the West gradually improved."
"Fengdu is considered a subordinate of the Heavenly Court, so his relationship with Buddhism has gradually improved?"
"It's not just about improving, but the Buddhist hell in the underworld has even been merged with the hell in Fengdu."
"What do you mean is that these eighteen levels of hell were not from Fengdu at the beginning?"
"Idiot, the eighteen levels of hell are from Buddhism. You don't even know this?"
"Forehead……"
"...Forget it, if you encounter it, you will be unlucky... At the beginning of Fengdu, there were only six great hells, and six of the ten kings of hares were in charge of a great hell, and each great hell contained sixteen small hells. Later, it was merged with the eighteen levels of hell set up by Buddhism, and the functions of the six great hells were also divided into the eighteen levels of hell. Since then, all sentient beings in the world have shared the six realms of reincarnation."
After hearing the explanation of the Skylark Lord, Lin Yan suddenly realized.
"So, who has the final say in the underworld now?"
"After the merger of the eighteen levels of hell and Fengdu hell, Buddhists basically no longer interfere in the affairs of hell and are all dispatched by the ghost envoy of Fengdu. However, Buddhism left Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to stay in the underworld for many years, which is considered to be decentralized."
"Then how powerful is this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
"If the semi-saint realm has reached a thousand years, the legendary difference in strength is one line of Tathagata."
"So awesome? What about Cui Jue, the strongest person than Fengdu?"
“…It’s probably hard to decide.”
"What do you mean is that a Mahayana semi-saint can only be comparable to Cui Jue in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm? I'm good, Lord Cui, you will always be a god."
As Lin Yan spoke, little stars appeared in his eyes.
On the other side, when Hades waved his hand, a ghost envoy immediately obeyed the order and went to the place where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was located as Cui Jue said.
But before the ghost messenger could set off, a ghost messenger rushed in outside the hall.
"Repay! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seeks to see!"
The devil knelt on the ground and said with a heavy breath.
"ah?!"
Even the Ten Palaces of Yama were a little shocked. Why did Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva come uninvited?
Cui Jue's reaction was extremely peaceful. He spoke to the Pope: "Since Lord Ksitigarbha has arrived, please ask Your Majesty to go to the palace."
"Yes, go, please invite Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to the temple."
Pluto agreed.
Accompanied by the subpoena of the voice-transmitting ghost, a loud "dragon roar" suddenly sounded outside the hall.
It was said that it was a dragon roar but something was wrong. The vigorous dragon roar seemed to be mixed with the crispness of the phoenix, the peace of the unicorn, the domineering aura of the tiger roar, and the awe-inspiring mastiff barking.
To put it bluntly, this is the sound of all beasts that respect dragons!
Then, a beast as big as a tiger stepped into the hall and walked towards the depths of the hall.
Lin Yan also widened his eyes, wanting to see the style of the divine beast that can distinguish the true or false of the Monkey King.
The one-horned horn, dragon body, dog ears, lion tail, this Diting is really exactly the same as the legendary description.
Although the body size is average among the divine beasts, the power of the beasts is undoubtedly revealed.
At this moment, there was still a figure on the back of the divine beast.
He is tall, has a bright face, red lips and white teeth, slender eyebrows and eyes, and holds a Buddha's ceremony in both hands, and a staff in his hands.
This figure who was shaved like Lin Yan and could listen carefully, without saying that, must be Ksitigarbha, one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism.
"It's a blue boy... I thought the four great Bodhisattvas were all female bodies like Guanyin."
Lin Yan secretly complained.
"Are you crazy about women? Among the four great Bodhisattvas, Guanyin is the only female body, and which of the other three is not a man? Idiot!"
The Lord of Skylark finally scolded Lin Yan and immediately disappeared.
Not only the Skylark, but Lin Yan also jumped around for a while and then calmed down his breath.
Just kidding, this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a real top semi-saint. If he is exposed, he will not be pressed to the ground to rub it?
When they saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, all the officials of Fengdu gave up a great way in awe, and Ren Diting walked to a thousand steps.
"Amitabha, how good is that good, Lord Hades, Lord Cui Jue, how are you doing recently?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva opened his eyes, floated down from Diting's body, bowed slightly to Hades to perform Buddhist rituals to show respect.
"If you are in trouble, Lord Ksitigarbha will care about you, and I will always be in peace with Your Majesty."
Cui Jue also bowed and signaled.
"Haha, today I made a spell. I felt that Feng was ill, so I came to the door to bother you. I wonder if it would cause trouble for everyone in Fengdu?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled kindly and said.
"Since you are here by Di Ting, this mantra must have calculated the things that are going to happen in the Emperor's Palace."
Cui Jue chuckled, and he knew the meaning of the words.
"Hahaha, what Your Excellency Cui Jue said is true. I have calculated this mantra that two Yin and Yang fish will fall into the pond water of Fengdu. It is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. I will come here with my good-listening mount, hoping to do my best."
"Your Excellency Ksitigarbha is so polite. With your help, the real and fake Monkey King case can be regarded as seeing the dawn."
...
In the Emperor's Hall, there were still polite words, and a corner of the hall.
Lin Yan frowned, and what he was muttering in his heart was a metaphor that Ksitigarbha had just said: Yin and Yang fish...
