The Monkey King

Chapter 596: Five poisons and eight bitterness

  In the hidden deep valley, a small attic stood quietly.

  The decoration is simple and a little weird, there is no light inside and outside, there are overgrown vegetation and even a strong miasma.

   This is a place that is as silent as a real death, and the only brilliance is the little ghosts floating back and forth in the air.

   King Ksitigarbha brought Zhengfa Ming Tathagata slowly to the front of the attic. From beginning to end, they did not even see a ghost soldier guarding it.

   looked around, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata asked softly, "What is this place?"

   "One, it's just another courtyard." King Jizo was still walking forward step by step.

   Soon, the two came to the door of the main hall.

  I saw King Jizo stretched out his hand lightly, and two huge door panels with a height of three feet and a half were slowly opened with a harsh rubbing sound.

   The light of the outdoor ghost fires shone through the gap, and there was a darkness that seemed to devour everything.

   Zhengfa Ming Tathagata took a deep breath, glanced at Ksitigarbha King, and did not ask any further questions. Ksitigarbha didn't answer either.

   After the door was fully opened, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata saw a low table on the empty floor inside by the light of the ghost fire, with a rectangular wooden box the size of two palms placed on the table.

   Holding the skirt and crossing the threshold, King Jizo walked to the low table step by step, bent down and picked up the wooden box.

   "Aren't you coming in?"

   Zhengfa Ming Tathagata stepped into the hall just now, but his eyebrows were still tightly furrowed.

   Opened the wooden box, and King Jizo took out a bamboo slip with characters engraved on it and lined it up on the table.

   "Birth, old age, sickness, death, remorse, separation from love, lack of desire, five aggregates of clinging, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt... This is. Eight sufferings and five poisons?"

   King Jizo nodded slightly.

   "Doesn't your venerable think that Jin Chanzi's journey is too easy?"

   "Easy?" Zhengfa Ming Tathagata let out a faint smile, staring at Ksitigarbha King thoughtfully.

   nodded slightly, Ksitigarbha King slowly knelt down and sat down with his monk robes, stretched out his hand and sorted out the countless bamboo slips on the table.

"All living beings in the mortal world suffer. The suffering around Xuanzang is everywhere. Take that monkey head as an example..." He stretched out a few bamboo slips and folded them on the table, saying: "greed, hatred, delusion, Slowness, doubt, all five poisons, love and separation, inability to seek, five aggregates of clinging, and eight sufferings are three of them.”

  A total of eight bamboo slips were pushed in front of the Tathagata Zhengfa Ming Tathagata.

   "As far as the sky is concerned, ignorance and slowness. There are two of the five poisons. There are also three of the five aggregates of love, separation, inability to seek, and the five aggregates of grasping, as well as the eight sufferings."

   Another five pieces of bamboo slips were pushed in front of the Tathagata of Zhengfa Ming.

Spreading his hands, King Ksitigarbha sighed softly: "As for the others, the Black Bear Demon, the Dragon Prince, and the Rolling Shutter Heavenly General, which one can be considered clean? The people beside him are full of bad consequences and evil thoughts. That's it, all the way to the west. , even if you really get to Daleiyin Temple, what can you do? Can you win the debate?"

   Looking at the bamboo slips piled up in front of him, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata asked softly, "Then, what do you think should be done?"

"Greed, hatred, ignorance, arrogance, doubt, these are the five poisons, and all bad karma is caused by the five poisons. Birth, old age, sickness, death, remorse and hatred, separation from love, inability to seek, and the five aggregates of clinging, these are the eight sufferings. What Jin Chanzi crossed is the suffering of all living beings." Bowing his head and tugging his sleeves, the King Ksitigarbha said leisurely: "The poor monk thinks that the reason for the westward journey is not the Daleiyin Temple, but the 108,000 people who travel westward. We are on our way. Since Jin Chanzi is determined to prove the Dao, I will not let him return empty-handed. This is the right and wrong of Purdue. We must prove the reason!"

  …

   Little by little, he closed the book of life and death in his hand.

   At this time, in the hall of life and death, the monkey's face has become extremely ugly.

   In the early years, although the underworld belonged to the heaven, it was actually in a state of cattle herding. As long as there was no major incident, no one would care. It is very easy for the great masters in the Three Realms to enter and exit the Hall of Life and Death, even if something happens, it is not surprising.

   But the underworld after King Ksitigarbha took over has not been what it used to be.

   To quietly tear up a page of the book of life and death under the eyes of Buddha, and it happens to be the page the monkey wants...

   "What does this mean?"

   clenched his fists, the monkey gritted his teeth and closed his eyes with a slight trembling. The blue veins on his forehead had already burst out, and the book of life and death in his hand was squeaked.

   Seeing that the monkey was on the verge of going berserk, the few ghost soldiers who had been following him to clean up the book of life and death were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down, not daring to raise their heads.

   At this moment, the monkey wanted to get angry on the spot, smashed the hall of life and death, and then grabbed the king of Tibet and asked for clarity.

   He has a great chance of defeating King Jizo one-on-one.

   Not to mention King Ksitigarbha, even if all the four Buddhas appeared, he broke through the way of heaven and could be easily conquered.

   Reason tells him that he can't get angry.

   Because he can defeat the Four Great Buddhas, but he cannot completely defeat the Tathagata behind the Four Great Buddhas.

   Let everything at the moment get out of the trajectory of the debate, and in the end, there will inevitably be a situation that even he can't control.

   If he could directly deal with Buddhism, he would not need to accompany Xuanzang on such a long journey, which would take several years.

   The failure more than 600 years ago has already proved that pure force cannot solve the problem, at least it can't get the ending he wants...

   After a while, the monkey finally calmed down and said to himself, "Old gentleman just sealed the content... This guy actually tore it up. Hmph, is this too lazy to cover up?"

   He slowly lowered his body and sat down with his legs crossed. Not a word.

   It looked like he had collapsed.

   Several ghost soldiers looked up at him cautiously.

   casually put the book of life and death aside, the monkey trembled slightly, raised his head and leaned against the bookshelf behind him, his eyes closed.

   In the silent hall of life and death, only his heavy breathing was left.

  A blossoming ghost fire radiated a strange light in the air.

   The other party, this is unscrupulously trying to provoke himself.

  Yes, they made it.

   The monkey at this moment is already burning with anger. The feeling of being choked in one breath and unable to swallow made him want to immediately use the golden hoop to smash everything here.

   If he was just alone. Perhaps, he has already done so.

   But he can't.

   is not the first day to face Buddhism. In the eyes of the monkeys, this is a cunning and creepy sect. If they dare to do this, they must have a backhand.

   And the worst thing is that what the monkey is investigating is the life experience of Agarwood. The counterpart is Yang Chan.

   Even the other party has intervened in this kind of thing, which means that even if he has tried his best to keep Yang Chan out of the way, the other party still holds her as a **** early in his hand...

   "This... is clearly a conspiracy."

  Monkey slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dark dome.

   Use conspiracy to show that the other party has been able to respond to all the reactions he can, and even hopes that he will respond. It may be a simple provocation, but it is more likely a prelude to some kind of conspiracy.

   In terms of facts, Chenxiang's life experience is far less important than the reincarnation of Cha Queer.

   To find the handed down of the bird. At first, there was only one way to check the book of life and death. To check Chenxiang's life experience. There are countless ways for monkeys, but it's just that it doesn't sound good after all. As Tianpeng said, it was inconvenient to ask Yang Chan directly, so he rushed to the underworld to check.

  Because this is the simplest, most direct, and most hidden, it will not leave any grudges between you and Yang Chan.

   What the monkey thought at first. It was to clarify things without disturbing Yang Chan.

   But now the book of life and death has been torn up...

   Obviously, the other party already knew what he was looking for, and he knew exactly what he was doing.

  Have you already checked your own foundation?

   Do you blame yourself for being too naive?

   Now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem surprising. I have been in a coma for 150 years under the Five Elements Mountain, and the other party has enough time to do everything they want to do. With the strength of Buddhism, it is not impossible to investigate these things.

   After thinking about it for a while, the monkey suddenly laughed and reached out and rubbed his face.

   The feeling of being pinched tightly. Really uncomfortable, very uncomfortable!

   Slowly opened his eyes, he looked blankly at the ghost soldier kneeling in the distance and said, "Your... Ksitigarbha King, did you explain anything when you left?"

   Those ghost soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads.

   "No...good. Good..."

   This is a blatant threat.

   threatened himself with Yang Chan.

   A moment ago, the monkey was still panicking about Chenxiang's life experience, now. A sharp knife was stuck in Yang Chan's throat.

   Slowly got up, the monkey suddenly took out a golden cudgel from his ear and slammed it on the bookshelf beside him.

   Hearing a loud bang, the bookshelf collapsed. The books of life and death on the bookshelf slanted down, confetti and sawdust flying.

   A few ghost soldiers ran away in fright.

   went straight for a distance of hundreds of meters, and when they saw that there was no movement behind them, they looked back one by one.

  The expected rage did not happen. Beside the collapsed bookshelf, the monkey just stood quietly with a golden cudgel, panting.

   Obviously only made one move, but he seemed to be exhausted to the extreme.

  The fear slowly dissipated, and a trace of doubt arose in the hearts of those ghost soldiers.

   "Tell King Ksitigarbha for me, today's affairs will not just be forgotten."

   After a while, the monkey lowered his head, turned and walked towards the gate step by step.

   Along the way, several bookshelves were smashed to pieces by him.

  …

   "My World Honored One, Sun Wukong has left the Hall of Life and Death."

   "Are you coming this way?"

  The ghost soldier replied respectfully, "If you return to the World Honored One, no."

"No?"

   Zhengfa Ming Tathagata took out one of the monkey's bamboo slips with the word "嗔" written on it, and shook it in front of King Jizo.

   King Ksitigarbha didn't care, and asked casually, "Then, what did he say?"

The ghost soldier thought for a while, and said, "He said, let the little one tell the World Honored that today's matter, he will not just let it go. Also, before he left, he smashed a few bookshelves, and the little one was letting him go. People fix it."

   Hearing the words, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata had to put back the bamboo slip with the word "嗔" written on it.

   "It's not that I'm not angry, it's just because of the situation, I can't stop it." King Ksitigarbha smiled and sighed: "This golden cicada's path to enlightenment is far away." (To be continued~^~)
