Buddha is the Tao

The Pig Demon and the Bull Demon King were both stunned. The Pig Demon looked confused: "Why is my rake everywhere? Any Taoist priest carries it with him?"

He threw away the golden basin, grabbed the flying nine-toothed rake, stroked it, and then smiled again, "It's my rake, it's not a fake one!" Then he waved it for a while, and it emitted thousands of rays of light and auspicious air, reflecting the whole Jilei Mountain.

The Bull Demon King's brain was much smarter than the Pig Demon. He immediately came to his senses, roared, and turned into a long rainbow. While Zhou Qing was stunned, he quickly stopped in front, looked at it carefully, and suddenly sneered.

"Why do I feel that something is a little strange? You are a stranger, but you look familiar. It turns out that you are the new Emperor Gou Chen. No wonder, no wonder. I guess you did the things in the human world. I said that the two girls and the wolf spirit in Skull Mountain are also masters. How could they suffer in such a filthy place in the human world? I guess you have already got the Zhuxian formation map in your heaven. But with your identity, you came to my Jilei Mountain, so I naturally prepared a bed and set up wine to welcome you. Why are you hiding your head and showing your tail? However, spying in secret and plotting are also the usual style of your heaven." Zhou Qing secretly groaned in his heart when he heard it. The Bull Demon King's words were really rich in associations, but there were some misunderstandings in them. However, he guessed so many things in an instant. Zhou Qing had to admire the old bull's superior IQ: "It seems that this guy is not so easy to fool. I'm afraid that a battle today is inevitable. Going deep into the tiger's den, I might die here today." While the Bull Demon King was speaking, hundreds of terrifying demonic auras rushed out from the distant mountains. Black evil rolled and demonic atmosphere filled the air. More than 600 demon kings appeared in the sky, each with a team of demon soldiers behind them. They set up a battle formation in the area of ​​1,000 miles around Jilei Mountain, surrounding the Bull Demon King, the Pig Demon, and Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing was now in a state of no return.

Secretly calculating a plan to escape, Zhou Qing did not show any surprise on his face. He narrowed his eyes, touched the bamboo stick in his hand, and said slowly: "Good tricks. Whether it is the gods or the bodhisattvas, they all say that Jilei Mountain has strong soldiers and horses. It is not surprising. They are called the world of chaos and the demon king of the West. This is absolutely true. Since I fought against the great wizard Bai Qi, I have only met a figure like the Bull Demon King today. It is true that hearing about him is worse than seeing him in person."

When the Bull Demon King heard Zhou Qing's words "He traveled all over the world and was called the Chaos King, and he was called the Demon King in the West", his face became a little unnatural. The Bull Demon King was originally a peerless demon king in Xiniu Hezhou. Later, Buddhism flourished in Xiniu Hezhou, and the Bull Demon King fought with the Buddhist sect and was defeated by the Buddhist monk Yisani Bodhisattva. Then he came to Nanzhanbuzhou. Nanzhanbuzhou liked Taoism, and Xiniu Hezhou liked Buddhism. There were frequent fights between the secular world, and the gods and bodhisattvas were inevitably involved. However, the two sides were still friendly when they met, and they were secretly gathering strength. These two sentences were originally praised by the monsters. Now, they sounded a little sarcastic.

Zhou Qing talked nonsense: "I went to the human world only because the destiny changed and the great witch was born. I came to the human world to avoid the suffering of all living beings, but I didn't covet the Zhuxian formation map. As for whether the Zhuxian formation map fell into the hands of the heaven, I am not very clear."

Zhou Qing changed the subject and brought up the Zhuxian formation map, diverting the subject and never mentioning the Nine-toothed Rake. However, once people heard it and thought about it, they would misunderstand that the Nine-toothed Rake was given to Zhou Qing by the heaven. Even the pig demon seemed to understand it.

"I have heard of your name and your methods, but you came to my Jilei Mountain alone and didn't take me seriously. I dare to say that even the previous Emperor Gouchen would never come and go as he pleased." Seeing Zhou Qing's fearless look, the Bull Demon King became wary.

"You, the Taoist priest, are quite courageous. Since I have already got my rake, I, the old pig, am too lazy to care about other things. However, the Emperor Gou Chen once commanded the demon tribes of the three realms. What means do you have now to deserve this title? This old bull is a little dissatisfied and has long been clamoring to compete with you. Old bull, don't you think so?"

The pig demon spoke in a rough voice and carelessly. The eldest son stretched out and shrank while speaking, which was a bit funny. It seemed intentional and unintentional.

Zhou Qing glanced at the pig demon. The pig demon didn't seem to be provoking. He spoke casually without thinking. Zhou Qing couldn't tell. Looking at the ferocious demon king and the demon soldiers in the sky in the distance, Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes into a slit.

"Oh! I just came to Yaowang Mountain to collect herbs today. Since Bull Demon King is interested in a contest with me, I dare not refuse. You two come together, or the demon army comes together to besiege me. Although I am not talented, I still have some skills, so I won't die. I have heard of Bull Demon King's reputation. I will see it today, so as not to say that I went to the treasure mountain and returned empty-handed in the future."

With such an identity and a level of existence, it is useless to talk nonsense. Instead, it will make people feel inferior and afraid. Zhou Qing certainly cannot show weakness.

Previously, when the pig demon used the treasure basin, Zhou Qing fled and fled, which had already lost face. If he surrendered now, the name of Emperor Gou Chen would be infamous in the three realms, and he would not be able to survive in the future.

"Oh, you dare to underestimate your grandpa pig!"

When the pig demon heard that Zhou Qing wanted two people to come together, he was furious and rushed over, raising his rake to fight. But he was pulled back by the Bull Demon King, and Zhou Qing immediately put his mind at ease: "It turns out that this guy is a good guy, without any scheming. What he said before was unintentional, not provocative.

"Brother Pig, don't be anxious. I, the Bull Demon King, am not as shameless as you in the Heavenly Court. I can't use heavenly soldiers and generals to beat up one person. Since you have been canonized as the Emperor of Gou Chen, and I am also a demon, I naturally want to see what means you have to deserve this title. Brother Pig is my guest today. Since you also want to compete with Brother Dao, I will naturally give in first. Regardless of whether you win or lose, Brother Dao can leave. "The Bull Demon King laughed and let go of the Pig Demon.

After hearing what the Bull Demon King said, the Pig Demon put down the spiked rake, came forward, and sang a big promise: "My Monkey Brother often reminds me not to lose the face of Huaguo Mountain, but I am an impatient person and often can't help it. However, you, the Taoist priest, are still quite capable. My name is Wuneng, and my other name is Bajie. You must remember it well."

Zhou Qing also reported his Taoist name. The Bull Demon King dodged to one side, and Zhu Bajie's figure flashed, and in an instant he came to Zhou Qing. The nine teeth of the spiked rake flashed with cold light, and the cold air flow pressed down, as if to open nine holes in Zhou Qing's forehead.

"This Bajie is also a strong opponent, but compared with Bai Qi, it is a little worse. "Zhou Qing was very responsive. As soon as Zhu Bajie made a move, he understood his strength.

This nine-toothed rake was originally inconspicuous. Although it was a magic weapon, it did not have much power. But in Zhu Bajie's hands, its power suddenly increased tenfold, and the spiritual energy of the world surged rapidly, and the violent invisible turbulence rolled, tearing the space into pieces, layer upon layer, which was indescribably weird.

As a super master, Zhou Qing was of course not afraid. He turned his body and dodged to the side, and quickly tapped the rake head with his bamboo stick. The two collided with each other, and a huge force quickly spread throughout the space blocked by the demon king with a formation. Zhou Qing's wrist was actually a little numb. Twelve dark golden centipedes on the bamboo stick flashed, and countless runes flowed out, bounced the nine-toothed rake away, and made a crisp sound of ding-dong, which could be heard clearly in almost all the lands within a radius of ten thousand miles.

"This guy, what a great strength? "Zhou Qing and Bajie fought hard, Bajie retreated several feet away and shouted, "Good Taoist, you were a blacksmith before you became a Taoist, how come you have so much strength."

This bamboo stick was made by Zhou Qing himself, with a killer inside, every bit of it is made to be fixed, and it is easy to use, just like one's own arm. In comparison, although the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree is stronger than the bamboo stick and can be used skillfully, it is far from being as good as one's own.

If Zhou Qing had the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand, it would not be difficult for him to defeat Bajie, but this bamboo stick cannot knock down weapons, so it can only be a head-on collision. Bajie is highly skilled in martial arts and has a sophisticated rake method, so it is difficult to determine the winner in a short time.

Bajie used the rake to hit, sweep, hook, point, poke, and stab, and sometimes turned the rake head upside down to twist it, trying to twist Zhou Qing's bamboo stick off. However, Zhou Qing used the bamboo stick like a spirit snake. The thousands of spiritual symbols on it combined with the twelve centipedes formed various formations, offsetting the auspicious aura on the nine-toothed rake. The figures flashed repeatedly. The Bull Demon King stared at the two of them. The eight demon kings stood beside them. A demon king who was three meters tall said, "My king, who do you think will win?"

The Bull Demon King laughed and said, "This Taoist's martial arts are better than mine, but his weapons are not good. That bamboo stick is obviously no match for the long-toothed rake. If the fight continues for a long time, I'm afraid this Taoist will suffer. "

The two fought for more than ten rounds. Bajie became more and more proficient in using the Nine-toothed Rake. He was evenly matched with Zhou Qing and even had the upper hand.

Zhu Bajie was in high spirits and wanted to fight quickly. When he had the upper hand, he suddenly exerted force and pushed Zhou Qing back a few steps. He jumped out of the circle, pulled out a few bristles from his body, chewed them into pieces in his mouth, and then spit them out in one breath.

Countless pieces of hair were seen floating in the air, and then they turned into thousands of Zhu Bajies, all of whom were holding a blazing nine-toothed rake, and all of them were rushing towards Zhou Qing.

Zhu Bajie's own body disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone. He was obviously waiting for an opportunity to hit Zhou Qing with a club.

It turned out that since Zhu Bajie had cultivated successfully, every hair on his body had become spiritual and changed. The Huaguoshan lineage had a cultivation method that could transform one's own hair into something like a second soul while cultivating. One could cultivate day and night, store spiritual energy, and spray it out when facing an enemy. Each transformed self had half of his own strength. It was indeed an extremely powerful spell, but it took a long time to cultivate, often thousands of years. Unexpectedly, Zhu Bajie had actually cultivated this spell.

When the Bull Demon King saw Zhu Bajie hiding in it, he was secretly shocked. This kind of magic is not afraid of group fights. It can come and go as it pleases. There are three reasons why Huaguo Mountain can dominate the Three Realms because of this perverted Taoist magic. However, it is rumored that in Huaguo Mountain, only the Monkey King and his subordinate Marshal Ma Liu have cultivated such powerful magical powers. Although Zhu Bajie is the second king of Huaguo Mountain, he has never heard of anyone who has cultivated such magical powers.

"I didn't expect this pig to be so hidden before."

The Bull Demon King and the surrounding demon kings were a little uncomfortable. In the past, the seven demon kings in the earthly world united and attacked the heaven to seize the Lingxiao Palace. They fought outside the Nantian Gate, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western Paradise came to help. The Bull Demon King had suffered a loss from the Buddhist sect and was a little afraid. He and the other five demon kings retreated halfway, leaving only the Huaguoshan lineage. However, the Huaguoshan demon king fought to the Lingxiao Palace. Later, no one knew what happened. The two sides stopped fighting and made peace. Huaguoshan became the only force among the demons in the earthly world that was recognized by the heaven, and was on an equal footing with the Jade Emperor. He was the Monkey King.

The other six demon kings lost face and no longer appeared. They each lived in seclusion to practice, but the Bull Demon King was unwilling to be lonely. Because he had a grudge with the Western Buddhist sect and dared not go to the Western Paradise to fight, he could only accumulate strength in the mountains of Nanzhanbuzhou and secretly support the Tang Dynasty. He couldn't do anything to him in public, and he had to make him lose face in secret.

"Oh no! This guy has this trick. Although I'm not afraid, I'll lose face if I'm hit by a nail rake. If it gets out, it'll be hard to be a human being!" Zhou Qing saw hundreds of Zhu Bajie coming at him. These pig bristles were transformed into entities, which turned out to be part of the main body. Their auras were exactly the same. Zhou Qing couldn't tell which one was the real Zhu Bajie for a moment.

If the other party surrounded him, he would definitely suffer. Zhou Qing made a quick decision and grabbed a Dutian Pluto flag and shook it on the spot. All he saw was overwhelming black smoke rolling in, making the field pitch black. The black smoke was thick and sticky, as if the chaos had not yet opened. The Bull Demon King couldn't see the situation inside clearly.

Zhou Qing unfolded the Pluto flag three times, and the head of a Dutian Demon God appeared on the flag, opened his mouth as big as a pool of blood, and sucked.

Zhou Qing's Dharma body appeared in the blink of an eye. The bamboo stick, the sword, the lotus, the water bottle, the alms bowl, the token and other eight weapons were thrown up at the same time. The eight weapons were pulled into the formation formed by the centipede and all melted into the bamboo stick. The originally green bamboo stick had a faint dark gold color flowing.

Zhou Qing put away the Pluto flag, the black air was completely eliminated, the demon's head was also hidden inside, and there were a few more pig bristles like steel needles on the flag. It was Zhou Qing who used the magic weapon to break Zhu Bajie's spell.

A nail rake appeared from the back without a sound, and the nine teeth fiercely built towards Zhou Qing's back.

The ancestor witch of the Dutian Demon God swallowed everything and returned to chaos. Only the Dutian Pluto flag could open Zhu Bajie's spell. As for whether any clues would be detected, Zhou Qing had no way to do it. He couldn't just take a beating.

"If I don't release the Dutian Demon God, I shouldn't be noticed!" Zhou Qing thought to himself.

He had already moved a few steps in the black smoke, and retracted his hair, so he could sense Zhu Bajie's position, so how could he reach him.

He held the bamboo stick against the nail rake, made a gun flower, and spread the Hades flag, spewing out a puff of black smoke, spraying Zhu Bajie with a faceless face.

"You damn Taoist, you actually cheated, what kind of magic weapon is this?" Zhu Bajie saw that his pig bristles didn't work, and he was almost in tears because of the opponent's black smoke. He was a sturdy guy, and he thought that the two of them were only competing in martial arts, and ordinary magic weapons really couldn't hurt him, and he won by hand-to-hand combat, but he didn't expect Zhou Qing to have such a magic weapon.

Zhou Qing went around behind him, and with a stick, he hit Zhu Bajie with a bang.

"Huh!? This staff has no power!"

Zhu Bajie only stumbled forward two steps, thinking that nothing was wrong, and quickly turned around to fight again. However, he didn't know that the next moment, his soul in the Nigong Pill seemed to be pulled by a huge force, and was almost forced out of his body. A strand of invisible things, like spider silk, tried to invade his soul, and another huge force seemed to pull him into the ten layers of hell.

Fortunately, Zhu Bajie's soul had been condensed into the same as his own entity, and there was no difference. He could resist the invasion of karma. If it were an ordinary immortal, he would have lost resistance and his soul would have left his body. Even so, Zhu Bajie still pulled his body into the void, and actually went to the six reincarnations in the underworld.

The river of Hades in Hell is 365 miles wide, the width of which is the same as the Zhoutian. The river water is completely black, the wind is howling, and the cold waves are surging. Every 365 feet, there are six huge whirlpools, which are the number of the six reincarnations. There are countless wronged souls and evil spirits in the river, wailing, floating and sinking, screaming, struggling to rush towards the whirlpool, but they are bounced away before they reach the whirlpool.

There is a dark bridge above each of the six whirlpools, which is the Naihe Bridge in the underworld. On it are the Ox-Headed Horse-Faced, Black and White Impermanence, leading countless ghosts to press the wronged souls to report to the City of Wrongful Death.

The wronged souls in the river are those who have just come out of the suffering in the eighteen levels of hell, eliminated their sins, and thrown into the river of Hades to wash away their karma with cold water before they can be thrown into reincarnation.

Some ghosts by the river took rakes and hooked up the washed white souls, and pressed them away one by one. In the Wrongful Death City, the judges would decide whether they would become human, grass, or animals. After being processed, they would be pressed onto the Naihe Bridge and pushed into the vortex one by one, where they would be crushed to pieces and reincarnated again.

Countless ox-headed and horse-faced demons shouted on the Naihe Bridge, the wronged souls howled and screamed, the black and white impermanence laughed sinisterly, and the iron chains made a rattling sound when they shook, making the Styx River very lively. In the distance, a huge city was the Wrongful Death City. The area of ​​the Wrongful Death City was larger than the entire Jilei Mountain. Behind the Wrongful Death City was the Yin Mountain, which was the location of the 18 levels of hell. The hells of tongue pulling, beheading, and skinning were all set up on the Yin Mountain. There were more ghosts on it, and it was simply endless.

The entire Yin Mountain was ten times larger than the Jilei Mountain. There were hundreds of millions of ghost soldiers and generals inside. On the top of Yin Mountain, there was a bright light, forming golden lotus flowers, shining down. It was the place where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lived.

The entire underworld was shrouded in a hazy and smelly black fog. No sun could be seen, and it was always like this. Just as the Ox-Headed Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, and the ghost soldiers on the Naihe Bridge were shouting endlessly, there was a loud noise in the sky, and a ray of light shot in. Then a fat figure appeared and fell straight down to the six reincarnations in the Styx.

"Ah!" Zhu Bajie was slapped into the six reincarnations by Zhou Qing's stick. He didn't know what was going on. He was struggling to use his power to resist the invasion of karma. Suddenly, he heard a sound, the sound of water below, and the sound of people. The six whirlpools in the Styx gave off a suction force, causing his body to be thrown in involuntarily. He immediately understood what was going on, and screamed in fear. When he was about to fall into the whirlpool, he moved sideways for several feet and fell into the Styx with a plop.

"That was close!" Zhu Bajie casually threw away the surging wronged souls. The karma of his body was washed away by the water of the Styx. He was still in shock. Thinking of the situation just now, he was afraid. Fortunately, his soul was still in the flesh. The six reincarnations in the Styx did not attract him much. If his soul left his body, he would be sucked into the vortex. If he entered the main reincarnation in the Styx, unless he was a figure like the Three Pure Ones or the Buddha, he would be immediately broken up and reincarnated again.

"Where is the monster! Dare to break into the underworld, capture it, capture it quickly!" A group of Yin gods suddenly came to their senses, saw Zhu Bajie, and flew over to capture him with hooks and chains.

"You damn Yin gods, don't you recognize my Grandpa Pig!" Zhu Bajie knocked down several Yin gods with a nail rake, and said nothing more. Before the other party surrounded him, he rushed up, broke through the void, and went back.

"It seems that this is Zhu Bajie, the second king of Huaguo Mountain. What happened? Was he thrown into the reincarnation?" After a while, the Black and White Impermanence hurried into the City of the Dead to report to the Ten Kings of Hell.

"Quickly investigate!" Upon hearing the news, King Qin Guang hurriedly rang the bell to summon the Ten Kings of Hell, and ordered people to investigate the situation.

Not long after, the mountain god and the land god of Jilei Mountain reported: "Emperor Gou Chen was fighting with the Bull Demon King in Jilei Mountain, and Zhu Bajie was almost beaten into the reincarnation by Emperor Gou Chen's bamboo stick."

"What? Emperor Gou Chen was besieged by demon soldiers. This is a big deal. Colleagues, let's quickly submit a petition to the Jade Emperor and ask the Heavenly Court to make a decision!" The ten kings of hell discussed and decided on a policy.
