Chapter 288 Maitreya Redeems Ksitigarbha in the Underworld
During the Conferring Gods Calamity, the casualties among the quasi-sages of the Western Sect were not large. Later, the quasi-sages of the Three Religions and the Demon Clan joined, and the Qilin Clan was affiliated with Lingshan.
Lingshan is not like the Heavenly Court and the Human Divine Court, where most of the gods are on the list and cannot practice.
Lingshan has no gods. For tens of thousands of years, it has been promoting Buddhism. Many living beings have begun to believe in Buddhism, and many good people have joined Lingshan.
Lingshan's luck is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more quasi-sages.
Nowadays, Lingshan has the most quasi-sages in the prehistoric times, and including the hidden ones, there are no less than fifty.
As the saying goes, everything that is beautiful in Lin Feng will be destroyed. Lingshan does not dare to be too arrogant for fear of being collectively targeted by other forces. Externally, the number of quasi-sages is in their early thirties.
This number is just right and will not cause all forces to jointly target.
The human race united with the dragon and phoenix tribes, and there were a lot of quasi-sages.
The Heavenly Court united the three religions, especially the Jiejiao. When the gods were enthroned to measure the calamity, the main casualties among the quasi-sages were the ten heavenly kings, and the total number was no less than thirty.
Anyway, now in the journey to the west, Buddhism is destined to flourish. No one dares to trouble Lingshan at this time. After the journey to the west, Buddhism awakens, and Lingshan can continue to prosper for many years, let alone fear it.
After tens of thousands of years of forbearance, it was time to show off his talents. Haotian hit Lingshan this time and almost allowed Yang Jian to kill Guanyin, which really hit Lingshan in the face.
After showing his edge, Haotian will have to weigh it carefully in the future.
"Including the three religions and the demon clan in Heaven, the number of quasi-sages does not exceed forty. They themselves are unable to create difficulties and resolve them. Lingshan cannot be blamed."
"And the number of quasi-sages in our Lingshan Mountain is no less than fifty. If Monkey Sun breaks through the quasi-sages, it will be beneficial to us. The merit we can gain will only be more than now."
"However, it's really difficult to deal with Monkey King having the King Kong Zhuo on him. Tell Guanyin to take the King Kong Zhuo away. Without a powerful magic weapon, Monkey King will not be afraid of breaking through to the Quasi-Saint."
The Tathagata analyzes the way.
Maitreya was silenced and played with his heart and mind. He really couldn't play with Tathagata.
However, there are also smart people in the Western religion lineage.
"Buddha, Guanyin has turned against Tripitaka and his disciples, especially Zhu Bajie. Zhu Bajie doesn't say it with his mouth, but how can he not hold grudges in his heart."
"I think Guanyin is no longer suitable to be responsible for the westward journey. It is better to leave the matter of the westward journey to the little monk."
Lingji Bodhisattva stood up and said.
Maitreya's eyes lit up, and he left the Western Sect's responsibility for the matter of traveling westward, and it would be up to them to decide how to divide the merits.
"I think it's okay. I received news that Ksitigarbha has achieved sub-sage cultivation in the underworld. I think it's time to take Ksitigarbha back to Lingshan to have a look." Maitreya said with a slight threat.
This news was naturally spread by the Demon God of Disaster.
Ru Ruilai knew it earlier and frowned. If Ksitigarbha comes back, there will be two sub-sages in the Western Sect, and they will not have the advantage.
"Since Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can attain sub-sagehood in the underworld, it shows that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's path is in the underworld. How can he destroy Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's path?"
"Moreover, after Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva leaves the underworld, Lingshan will no longer be able to obtain merit from the underworld. Over the past tens of thousands of years, Lingshan has also obtained a lot of merit from the underworld."
Ran Deng said.
"It's not like I'm leaving the underworld forever, I'm just coming back for a visit." Maitreya sneered.
"I'm afraid the Wu Clan won't agree." Tathagata's voice deepened, and the fat man threatened him and Ran Deng.
"Hmph, I have my own way."
Maitreya snorted coldly and left Lingshan directly for the underworld regardless of whether Tathagata and Ran Deng agreed.
But he didn't know that when he left, there was no one guarding the Demon Abyss. The Disaster Demon God and Styx who were guarding near the Demon Abyss took the opportunity to pour the dark energy collected from the Blood Sea into the Demon Abyss through the cracks in the seal. .
Underworld.
Houtu came back to visit his brothers and sisters, and happened to meet Maitreya.
"Whatever strong wind brings Maitreya Buddha to the underworld today, I am not afraid of not being able to return." Hou Tu looked at Maitreya in a playful way.
Maitreya tensed up, forced out a smile and said: "I have met the saint Houtu. The young monk came here today to make a deal with the underworld."
"Oh, tell me." Hou Tu said with interest.
"The young monk has traveled in chaos before, and he was lucky enough to encounter a piece of the remains of the Demon God of Reincarnation, which contains the aura of reincarnation. I think it can help Saint Houtu perfect the law of reincarnation."
"The young monk wants to exchange this for Ksitigarbha's freedom, how about that?"
Maitreya Road.
"Hmph, Ksitigarbha has stolen my merits from the underworld and wants to leave. If Ksitigarbha leaves, who will save the evil ghosts in the eighteenth level of hell? Ksitigarbha made his great ambition at the beginning. Unless hell is empty, he will never become a Buddha."
"Hell is not empty yet. Ksitigarbha cannot leave. As for the law of reincarnation, it doesn't matter if you don't practice or become holy."
Hou Tu smiled contemptuously.
The remains of the Demon God of Reincarnation can indeed help her have more chances of becoming a saint, but how can she be manipulated by Maitreya?
Maitreya was not in a hurry, and said with a smile on his face: "The eighteenth level of hell allows Ksitigarbha to leave a corpse to transform into evil spirits, in exchange for Ksitigarbha's freedom for ten thousand years, how about that?"
The underworld is undoubtedly the best place for Ksitigarbha to practice the way of salvation. The path of Ksitigarbha is indeed in the underworld. If Ksitigarbha is allowed to leave the underworld forever, I am afraid that Ksitigarbha himself will not be happy.
In exchange for Ksitigarbha's freedom for ten thousand years, he can return to Lingshan to help the Western sect fight for sovereignty.
"Add another 300 Nine-turn Golden Pills, and the three corpses of Ksitigarbha will be left behind." Hou Tu also made a request.
"It's okay to keep the three corpses, but three hundred Nine-turn Golden Pills are too many, fifty at most." Maitreya frowned, this damn lion has his mouth open, three hundred, why don't you grab them.
"Then there's no need to talk." Hou Tu was about to beat Maitreya out.
"No, no, no, we can talk about it again." Maitreya's face twitched. Sure enough, negotiating with the Wu clan was a very painful thing. These barbarians would fight at the slightest disagreement.
In the end, after a fierce bargaining, the price was set at 130, which made Maitreya feel very painful.
However, it was worth it to bring Dizang back to Lingshan to support the scene.
Maitreya took Dizang out of the underworld.
"I finally see the blue sky and white clouds again."
Breathing the fresh air outside, Dizang cried sadly. More than 100,000 years, who knows how he got through these more than 100,000 years, saving evil ghosts day and night, and I don't know how many times he was beaten by Xingtian.
Maitreya felt distressed when he saw it. Fortunately, he followed Jieyin to cultivate the way of faith, and he was not sent to the underworld at the beginning.
After Maitreya left with Dizang, Houtu also left the underworld and returned to Luoxia Village to tell Lingxiao about it.
"It seems that the struggle for power and profit in Lingshan is very fierce. The Western religion has been suppressed so badly that they have to ask Dizang to come back to save the situation." Ling Xiao saw it clearly.
Lingshan is like a joint venture company, and shareholders fight for shares.
Jieyin and Zhunti are still no match for the cunning Sanqing and Nuwa. They worked hard to establish the Western religion, took out loans to become saints, and spent everything they had.
After all kinds of frauds, the Western religion finally grew stronger and was about to prosper in the West, but their home was stolen. Don't be too miserable.
Once Dizang returned, the two sides were evenly matched and there was a fight.
