Sun Wukong saw that the ghost of Wutong was gone, and he felt very sorry, and made a gesture to the king of Yudu and Piao Ranzi: "Rank, Lao Sun is lost, I will go to find Wutong" After saying that, he followed Douyun and turned out 108,000 miles, and his trace was gone.

"This monkey head has more than enough success and more failure. King Xudu shook his head. "Chu Piaoran, this time you have made a great contribution, when I return to the underworld, I will definitely go to heaven and reward my deeds. ”

"It's not necessary to report to Heavenly Court. Piao Ranzi said: "You can forgive me and Meng Ge for the sin of leaving the army privately." ”

"Of course, pardon" said the king of Xudu. Then with the four of them, they rushed back to the mountain above.

Above and below the mountain, the group of ghosts under the Wutong King caught the vast majority, and there were very few ghost soldiers who escaped the net. The king of Xudu took all the underworld officials and ghosts to climb the mountain above.

Wutong Hall has been destroyed, Zhong Kui is taking the ghost soldiers of the underworld, burning the mountain everywhere, seeing the king of Xudu and all the ghost officials and ghosts, saluted, and laughed: "The ghost soldiers of the second road succeeded in the first battle, congratulations"

"Gather all the underworld officials and ghosts, and discuss the matter in front of the palace" King Yudu sent an order, and the time was not long, and all the generals arrived.

"Today, to defeat the ghosts of the mountains above, everyone has worked hard. As soon as the king of Xudu picked up the official's words, all the ghosts said in unison: "It is our duty to eradicate evil." ”

"Judge in the Iron Mask, please record the battle. The king summoned the iron-masked judge, who took the iron-clad judge's pen in his hand and began to record.

King Xudu asked about the ghosts and handsomes one by one. First: The ghost of Wutong is missing, and the horse-faced handsome man kills Kinoshita Xiaosan. Second: The cloudy ghost king killed the Muke Sanxian and killed the four immortals of Muke and the seven immortals of Muke: the remaining five immortals may not be able to achieve the climate. Third: The hunchback god, the bird's head god and other big and small gods have all been captured by the Ghost King. Fourth: Wufu Chitose and other plague gods were kidnapped and fled by outsiders.

After the king finished counting, he asked again: "There are two more people, and I don't know their whereabouts." ”

"One is Meng Ge, and the other is Wutong Laomu. Piaoranzi said. "Please look for it. ”

As soon as Piaoranzi's voice fell, a crisp voice came, "I don't have to look for it." "It turned out to be Meng Ge, with a group of disheveled big girls and little daughters-in-law, who came to King Xudu.

Meng Ge greeted the king of Xudu and reported to him: "I did not go with the army to rescue my sisters here. Wutong Lao Mu took me to the apse, and when I poured water for her, I gave her some ecstasy, and she is still asleep in the apse. Then he went to rescue the trapped sisters. They are all women of good families who have been taken captive by evil spirits and carried up the mountain, please release them from Your Majesty. ”

When the king heard this, he asked where these women were and who they were arrested. Those women knew that Meng Ge was a good person, and when they saw that the king of Xudu was majestic and upright, they replied one after another, asking to be released and returned home. The king of Xudu ordered Miaoguang Zhenjun and five others to take the ghost soldiers down the mountain to escort them home.

Zhong Kui said: "I searched all over the apse, but I didn't see any Wutong Laomu. The king of Xudu ordered Meng Ge to lead the way to find it. As a result, it was not found, and the old woman mysteriously disappeared.

King Xudu summed up the battle situation, although he won a complete victory, but the main evil ghosts: Wutong Laomu, the five brothers of Kinoshita, the five brothers of Wufu Chitose, and the five brothers of Muke, were not caught, which is regrettable.

Lu Yue said: "We are waiting for the plague department to be righteous, and we want to take away the plague ghosts under the hands of Wufu Chitose back to Heaven." ”

"Wait," the king of Xudu said: "Please also ask the three righteous gods to uproot the epidemic qi arranged by the five mansions and Chitose, while accidentally hurting the people." ”

Lu Yue agreed, took his subordinates, led by the plague ghosts of Wufu Chitose, to the underworld military camp, swept away the epidemic, led his subordinates, and returned to Heaven to restore his life.

Zhong Kui said: "I will take 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the mountain above and complete the task, please instruct His Majesty." The king of Xudu ordered him to return to Haining City, and bring the rest of the more than 20,000 ghost troops to rendezvous, so that they could return to the underworld together.

Zhong Kui took the order and left. The king of Xudu ordered the bull-headed marshal, the horse-faced marshal, the powerful ghost king, and the leopard-tailed marshal, each with their own ghost army, divided into four roads, east, west, north and south, to search for the remaining evil ghosts, and then completely destroy the cave and burn the mountain above. He also ordered the black and white marshal, led his subordinates impermanence, escorted the captured mountain demons, and returned to the military camp below the mountain to standby.

"Chu Piaoran, Meng Ge, you have made the greatest contribution this time, and I will definitely reward you for your meritorious deeds after I go back. "The king of Xudu said.

The two of them said that they did not need to, and it was enough to ask for pardon for the crime of leaving the barracks without permission, and to tell the story of the two escaping in front of Dongting Lake.

"Chu Piaoran, not forgetting his old friend when he was in trouble, although he was a tanuki, he also moved the king. King Xudu said again: "Meng Ge, Monk Juexing doesn't know where he was rescued by the sacred, and you will have the opportunity to meet in the future." Speaking of this, King Xudu remembered what happened just now, and asked Chu Piaoran: "When you fought with Sun Wukong, did you pay attention to how the Wutong ghost disappeared?"

"Nope. Sun Wukong has become four, he has experienced a hundred battles, if he continues to fight, I am really not an opponent. Piaoranzi said.

"Wufu Chitose was also rescued, and Wutong Taimu, it seems that this is a mysterious master, and it is really incomprehensible that they are rescued in an organized manner, and they are unwilling to show their faces. King Xudu muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, I think the demons and spirits who dare to go against the underworld are nothing more than Biyou Palace and the Five Immortals Sect. Piaoranzi said.

"No way. King Xudu shook his head. "Before the Tongtian Sect Master goes to the Heavenly Palace, he is not allowed to intercept the disciples of the sect from the Biyou Palace for half a step; ”

"Could it be the Open Heaven Sect?" Seeing that the King of Xudu mentioned the Open Heaven Palace, Piao Ranzi remembered the Open Heaven Sect.

"Well, I can't tell. Seeing that the mountains above were on fire on all sides, the king ordered the army to descend the mountain one after another and return to the original barracks.

The mountain above was swept away, and the king of Xudu sent this chapter to the underworld, and rested the army for two more days, waiting for the reply from the underworld. During this period, Zhong Kui came to meet with the first group of people.

On the third day, Murong Qianshan, the judge of the Ming Dynasty, came with a letter co-written by the Yin Tianzi and the Emperor Xudu. In the tent of the Chinese army, the king of Xudu led the reception of the underworld officials and ghosts.

Murong Qianshan handed the letter to the king of Xudu, and when he saw it, the gist of what was written on it was first praised by the Holy King of Xudu, and then ordered him to return to the underworld, and bring Chu Piaoran and Meng Ge, who had made great contributions this time, back to the underworld safely.

After reading the seal, the king of Xudu did not see the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo replying and asked, "Judge Mingzheng, does the Bodhisattva know about the great victory in the mountain above?"

"The Bodhisattva already knows, and he is the one who allows the truth to hear and perceive. Judge Mingzheng said. "When the Bodhisattva is leaving, he will explain one thing to me, and I must ask His Majesty to do it. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Well, I'll talk to you privately in a moment. Judge Mingzheng said.

"Okay, go back to the underworld tomorrow," the king of Xudu said to the middle and underworld officials, and then arranged the return trip. Murong Qianshan found the king of Xudu at night, explained the matter of the Dizang Bodhisattva, and then flew to the underworld in a hurry at night.

The next day, the king of Xudu issued an order to purge the army, and after drinking the celebration banquet at noon, the army returned to the division and started in the afternoon. V
