Chapter 26 scapegoating

King Zhuanlun came to his senses and said, "Lady Houtu, that monk...is he from Lingshan?" Yama of the tenth hall lived in the underworld for a long time and rarely went out, so he didn't know much about the situation in the world.The reason why the Wheel-Turning King was terrified was not because he was afraid of ghosts, but because he had guessed the identity of the Buddha of Immortality, which was unbelievable.In his heart, Xitian Lingshan and Tianting have always been on good terms, and even if there are occasional disagreements, they are always on the surface.What happened today is truly earth-shattering.

Hou Tu said coldly: "He is the Buddha of Infinite Life in the Western Paradise!" "Ah! Buddha of Infinite Life?" Although Buddha of Infinite Life is a hidden Buddha, he is also very famous. How could the Wheel-Turning King not know?He couldn't help but glanced at Wukong, and thought to himself, could this hozen be Sun Wukong, who was so powerful that he beheaded the Buddha of Immeasurable Life with three moves and two moves! Zhuanlun King said again: "Mrs. Houtu, I will naturally report to the Heavenly Court, but there seems to be someone fighting above, I don't know..." Houtu knew what Zhuanlun Wang wanted, and said, "Okay, Wukong and I will protect you up!"

The two, one on the left and the other on the right, protected the King of Wheels in the middle, rushed up from the Abyss of Nine Netherness, and when they reached the cloud, they saw that Pilushi Buddha had been beaten by Li Shan's old mother until he vomited blood, and he was powerless to fight back. . Li Shan's old mother knew that Pilushi Buddha could only be wounded, not killed, otherwise there would be endless troubles, so she didn't do anything serious.Guizhen Buddha knew that the great event had been accomplished, and gradually retreated.Seeing Wukong and Houtu coming up to protect the wheel-running king, he shouted, "Capture that wheel-turning king!"

The wheel-running king was shocked when he heard this, how could he block the Buddha's every move with his little cultivation?After Wukong heard this, he thought to himself, this is a witness, how can you ask you to kill him?He swung the Tianji stick and protected the wheel-running king behind him. After hearing this, Li Shan's old mother knew that the safety of the Wheel-Turning King was very important at this time, so she also came to protect him. Pilushi Buddha finally took a breath, and Guizhen Buddha saw that the two sides were roughly evenly matched. Said: "Sun Wukong, I will come to find you another day!"

After Wukong heard this, he secretly scolded Guizhen Buddha for being treacherous. It turned out that he lied that he wanted to capture the King of the Wheel, and it was just a cover.The Buddha of Infinite Life is the practice of sanctification, Yama of the Ten Halls is no more than the Taiyi Golden Immortal, if he really wanted to kill them, none of them would be able to escape, this Wheel-Turning King deliberately let him live.It seems that Tathagata has already planned this matter, and the Jade Emperor must know about it. The Buddhas were about to leave, and Wukong knew that he couldn't stop him. He only hated himself for not being able to see through the Tathagata's intentions and being succeeded by his tricks.Wukong and Houtu said: "I miscalculated today."

Houtu's expression was also very ugly. Although she was not from the line of good fortune, she also knew that the Netherworld was of great significance to the heavenly court. Since the hell was destroyed today, things will be out of balance since then, and the world will really be in chaos.When gods fight together, it is mortals who suffer. Hou Tu said, "How about this matter?" At this time, Dayu and others also stopped their hands and let the Buddhas go away. They didn't know what happened below, so they came to ask the reason, and they all fell into deep thought. Wukong said: "Today's event is really unexpected. It is better to go back to Qitianling first. Houtu and I will send the wheel-running king to the heavenly court first, and then go to find you."

Dayu also had no idea at this time, only vaguely felt that this matter was very involved, and it would be better to wait and see how it turned out, so he took Zhu Rong and Wu Zhiqi back to Qi Tianling. Li Shan's old mother said: "I can also be a witness in this matter." Wukong said: "The Holy Mother testified, it couldn't be better." The five of them rushed to the Heavenly Court together, and within a short while they arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, where the Jade Emperor was sitting leisurely in the middle, drinking and watching the dance, when he saw King Zhuanlun coming in covered in blood, followed by Houtu, Old Mother Lishan, and Emperor Ziwei, And Sun Wukong.

The Jade Emperor knew that something important was going to happen, so he hurriedly dismissed all the people in the hall, even Taibai Jinxing drove out. King Zhuanlun fell to the ground and said, "Qi Zou Jade Emperor, something is wrong!" The Jade Emperor said: "Don't panic, speak slowly." The Wheel-Turning King looked at Houtu, then at Wukong, with a frightened expression on his face, and said, "This... this monkey and... Houtu... have ruined the Underworld!" Shocked, the Jade Emperor stood up to support the case and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Houtu and Wukong looked at each other, and couldn't hide their horror. Wukong looked at the wheel-running king and finally understood what Tathagata was planning. Everything is fake! Intercepting Monkey King halfway, trying to capture the five elements is a lie, trying to catch the spirit god ape is a lie, letting the wheel-running king ignore the Jade Emperor is a lie, only this frame-up is true!The wheel-running king is simply the Tathagata's confidant! Wukong couldn't help being angry and admiring. Tathagata's performance in this scene was wonderful.At first, I was still a little puzzled. If the Buddhas of Lingshan wanted to destroy the Netherworld, when would they not be able to act? They had to stop the people of Qitianling and fight in the Abyss of Nine Nethers to do evil. It turned out that this was all for planting Get ready.

Houtu didn't argue, but just looked at how the Jade Emperor would respond. When did the Jade Emperor encounter such a problem?He sternly asked King Zhuanlun, "What happened?" King Zhuanlun tremblingly said, "He...the two of them almost killed the ten halls of Yama, judges and ghosts, and only said that they would cut off the root of heaven ! This is what Xiaoxian saw with her own eyes—" "Okay." The Jade Emperor took a deep breath to calm down his uneasy mood, but said to the old mother of Li Shan, "The Holy Mother is here, can you witness what happened today?"

Li Shan's old mother shook her head, and said calmly: "I just happened to meet these three people, and saw that the King of the Wheel was injured, so I was curious to see what happened." When she said this, Wukong was quite puzzled, why did Li Shan's old mother change her mind?He looked at Ziwei bowed his head and said nothing, and he thought it through.Few people know that the netherworld is the creation of heavenly transportation.But Wukong and Houtu knew about it.Although Houtu is one of the six rulers of Taoism, she has hardly participated in all affairs in the heavenly court from the beginning to the end. Ever since she learned that Dayu had returned to Qitianling, she even regarded herself as a member of Qitianling.With the Jade Emperor being so suspicious, how could he trust Houtu? The position of Li Shan's old mother is also very delicate at this time. Although she is a hermit, she has given birth to Emperor Ziwei.Therefore, if Li Shan's old mother said that Zhuanlun King's words were false, the Jade Emperor would think that Ziwei, Zhenwu and the people in Qi Tianling had colluded long ago. Not only could they not prove Houtu and Wukong, but it would make Jade Emperor think more . The Jade Emperor didn't get anything out of Li Shan's old mother, but turned to Houtu, saying: "My lady Houtu, how can you explain this matter...?" Seeing the gloomy face of the Jade Emperor, Hou Tu said with a sneer, "If you believe in the Wheel-Turning King, then you don't need to ask me. If you believe in me, you don't need to ask me." The Jade Emperor said: "This matter is of great importance, and I cannot be negligent in the slightest. Empress Houtu means that the wheel-turning king is talking nonsense?" Houtu simply turned his face away from the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor looked at Zhuanlun King again, and asked, "You are the only one left in the ten halls of hell?" The wheel-running king said: "Exactly!" The Jade Emperor said again: "If Empress Houtu did it, how could you escape with your life?" Zhuanlun Wang said: "At that time she..." He peeked at Houtu, and seeing Houtu ignored him, he continued, "She started from the first hall, and I saw that the situation was critical, so I ran away from the back I came out, fled halfway, and was chased by her again, just at this time, Xitian Guizhen Buddha and all the Buddhas passed through the Abyss of Nine Nethers, so I saved my life." The Jade Emperor asked, "Where did Guizhen Buddha and others go?" Zhuanlun Wang said: "Guizhen Buddha rescued me, only saying 'If Houtu dares to kill you, I will go to heaven to expose her evil deeds!'" The Jade Emperor's face sank like water, he nodded heavily, and said to King Zhuanlun, "You go to the back of the hall first, and I will send someone to heal your wounds." King Zhuanlun got up and walked to the back of the hall, and the Jade Emperor's confidant naturally came out to welcome him in. The Jade Emperor pointed at Wukong and shouted: "Qi Tianling evildoer, sooner or later I will trample down your lair!" Seeing the Jade Emperor's hoarse voice, Wukong roared until his face was red and his neck was thick, he smiled and said nothing, he pulled Houtu and said, "Let's go, sister." Houtu gave Jade Emperor a look, and said, "You big fool!" The two of them left the Lingxiao Palace, Li Shan's mother and Ziwei also came out, Li Shan's mother smiled and said: "Don't blame me for running away." Wukong laughed and said: "How dare you." Houtu said bitterly: "This wheel-turning king is really hateful, he dares to lie in front of me." Wukong said: "Sister, he can't hide his tricks from the Jade Emperor." "Oh?" Houtu said, "I believe the Jade Emperor!" Wukong shook his head and said: "Although the Jade Emperor uttered harsh words, he was speaking to the King of the Wheel. He can sit in this position, how can he be so coaxed?" Li Shan's old mother also said: "What Wukong said is not bad, this is a strategy to stabilize the army." Wukong said: "We need to go to Sanqing to discuss a countermeasure for this matter, just in case!" Li Shan's old mother said: "That's right, please go ahead." After Wukong and Houtu bid farewell to Lishan's old mother and Emperor Ziwei, they went to Qingwei Heaven. Wukong has been coming to the Heavenly Court for a long time, and I saw him today, but he felt that the Heavenly Court was much colder than before, and there were not many immortal officials. In fact, the Jade Emperor ignored the government for a long time, and most of the immortals were idle and went to their own lives. He was about to fly out for thirty-six days when he heard someone calling from behind: "Sun Dasheng, Empress Houtu, take a step slowly." Wukong looked back, but it was the two generals of the turtle and snake in Zixiao Palace of Beitianmen who were chasing him.Wukong stopped and waited, the tortoise came in front of Wukong, and said happily: "I am about to go down to the realm to find the great sage, I don't want to meet here, it will save a lot of time." Wukong was surprised and said: "Emperor Zhenwu has returned to the palace? Why are you looking for me?" The tortoise general said: "It was the emperor who asked me to find the great sage." Wukong knew that Zhenwu and Fenghuang were enemies for thousands of years, and the fight between the two of them must be serious, so he asked with concern: "Is there something wrong with the emperor, have you won?" The turtle general smiled and said: "I didn't fight anyone. The emperor only said that he found an old friend and asked me to invite the great sage to go to Zixiao Palace to talk." Old friend?Wukong thought for a while, and he was overjoyed. Could it be that Zulong and Phoenix did not fight, but settled their suspicions?This is really a great joy. Wukong said anxiously: "Go, go!" The four of them arrived at Zixiao Palace like lightning, and Wukong hurried in. The people sitting in the main hall were Zhenwu and Fenghuang!
