Chapter 3: The Nine Secluded Lands

Netherworld.

Beneath the darkness of this place in charge of reincarnation, there is a very mysterious existence of a ghost prison.

It was not the same as the eighteen layers of hell in the underworld, and even most of the gods and demons in the Three Realms might not know its exact location.

And this mysterious place is hidden under the eighteen layers of hell, which is like a chaotic void, all shrouded in strange mist, and here, it also has its unique name - the Nine Secluded Land.

In the Nine Secluded Lands, there are many stone platforms like small hills suspended in it, and there is no connection between them, and they don't even know that beyond the mist, there are similar existences.

On most of the stone platforms, there is a mysterious figure, these are the gods and demons who have been imprisoned in the land of the Nine Shadows for life, and they are the so-called "under the Nine Shadows, there is no return".

At this moment, on a stone platform in the depths of the mist, a short figure was sitting on it.

I saw that above the man's hands and feet, there was a dark iron chain imprisoned, and occasionally, a trace of golden Buddhist text flashed on the iron chain, as if to completely suppress the person's movements.

And above that person's head, there was a golden lotus platform in the sky, and the lotus platform kept overflowing with Dao golden light, enveloping the person's body, as if it was eating away at the man's last struggle.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, at a certain moment, the person who had always maintained an unchanged posture for ten thousand years suddenly raised a question.

At the same time, the man instinctively opened his closed eyes and looked up into the endless void.

"Buzz!"

With the man's simple movements, the golden lotus hanging above his head suddenly won with golden light, as if it had sensed that the man's intentions were wrong.

"Monkey King!"

Just as the man was secretly thinking about something, a broken drink suddenly penetrated his ears.

And before the voice completely dissipated, a mysterious figure also appeared in front of the man's eyes.

"Sun Wukong, you don't have to have any delusions! These nine secluded places are your final destination! ”

Seeing the disdain flashing in the man's eyes, the mysterious man couldn't help but scold loudly.

Yes, this person imprisoned in the land of the Nine Shadows is none other than the Monkey King who made trouble in the sky back then-Sun Wukong!

"Jizo, do you really think that my grandson's life will be like that ant! You, think wrong! ”

After the mysterious man scolded him, Sun Wukong, who was sitting on the stone platform, rolled his eyes and glared at him viciously.

The person who came was also the Monkey King Bodhisattva who was familiar to him, and I think that at the beginning, he was personally escorted here by the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, and since then, he has been imprisoned in the dark.

"Not bad! You do have some skills! However, in the Three Realms now, there is no chance for you to turn the tables! Of course, your name is still resounding in the Three Realms, but it was my Buddha's own fight to defeat the Buddha! ”

The Bodhisattva of the Earth King didn't care about Sun Wukong's angry gaze, and in his eyes, Sun Wukong's demise was a certainty.

"Humph! Hugh wants to compare the six-eared macaque with the old grandson, thinking that back then, when the old grandson made trouble in the heavenly palace, he still didn't know where to eat! ”

Thinking of the stand-in who is now walking in the Three Realms, Sun Wukong hates it even more.

"The heroes don't mention the courage of the past, and now you are just a doomed outcrop!"

Looking at the arrogance piled up at the corners of Sun Wukong's mouth, the King of the Earth Bodhisattva suddenly showed a look of contempt.

"Humph! I'm going to see what you can do today! ”

Sun Wukong, who woke up, had already sensed the inexplicable summoning in the void, even if it was the King of the Earth Bodhisattva in front of him, he couldn't help but want to fight.

"Whoa!"

As Sun Wukong clenched his fists with both hands, the two iron chains on his arms had been pulled out.

"Buzz!"

Just when the chain sensed Sun Wukong's abnormal movement, there were crazy golden runes flashing on it, and those runes were like snakes, all of which drilled into Sun Wukong's body from Sun Wukong's wrist.

"Humph! The Buddha had long predicted that when this realm of merit was opened, you, the monkey, would definitely make trouble. However, with me hiding here today, you will not succeed! ”

Seeing that Sun Wukong's forehead was bruised, King Jizo Bodhisattva no longer chose to stand by and watch.

"Buzz!"

Under the blessing of the Buddha power of the King of the Earth, the golden lotus hanging above Sun Wukong's head is even more golden, and even, the golden light that overflows, like a waterfall, completely swallows Sun Wukong's figure.

"Ahh Jizo, my grandson doesn't believe it, how long can you trap me? ”

With the pain of the mana suppression hitting his whole body, the angry Sun Wukong couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar.

"Humph! It won't take too long, as long as it is past today, the attraction power of the merit realm will weaken, and at that time, you in this Nine Secluded Land, I'm afraid you won't be able to perceive its existence anymore! ”

Listening to Sun Wukong's roar, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show that smug smile, and even, this painful voice prompted the Jizo King Bodhisattva to inject more surging Buddha power into the golden lotus.

"In the dark, there is its own way of heaven, and it is inevitable to escape the catastrophe, all of which are fixed!"

Just when the two sides were fighting each other, a soft murmur pierced through the void and resounded throughout the Nine Shadows.

"Huh? Not good! ”

Hearing that familiar voice, King Jizo Bodhisattva's heart suddenly felt bad, and at this moment, he even faintly felt a chill down his spine.

"Jizo greets Hou Tu Niang Niang to the land of the Nine Secluded Places!"

After the murmur dissipated, the Jizo King Bodhisattva quickly turned around and bowed straight towards the endless void.

"Jizo, you have been guarding the Yin Division for endless years, have you forgotten your oath?"

In the vast void, there was not the slightest abnormality, but the soft voice was wafting from all directions.

'Oath?' If the underworld is not empty, you will not become a Buddha! ’”

Thinking of his former bold words, the heart of the Jizo King Bodhisattva couldn't help but tremble.

"Your Buddha is the Buddha of all living beings, but now, you seem to have lived as a puppet!"

Hou Tu Niang Niang seems to be able to penetrate the mind of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and in her words, she doesn't care about the face of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.

"The Buddha of all beings? Puppet? ”

After being reminded by Tu Niangniang, King Jizo Bodhisattva couldn't help but recall what he had done now.

"I think that at the beginning, you and Rulai imprisoned this monkey in this Nine Secluded Land, but I didn't interfere. But now, don't you want to give this monkey a chance? ”

Although Hou Tu Niang's voice is soft, it contains a subduing majesty.

"What do you mean, let him go?"

Hearing Hou Tu Niangniang's thoughts, the King of Jizo Bodhisattva couldn't help but turn his head to look at Sun Wukong, who was fighting against the power of suppression.

"The gods and demons in the land of the Nine Shadows, who are not the heroes they once were. It's just that these people really deserve to be destroyed here? I think that at the beginning, I incarnated the six realms of reincarnation, wasn't it just to give the people of the Three Realms a chance to start over? ”

Hou Tu Niang Niang didn't seem to have blamed the fault of the prisoners in the Nine Secluded Lands at all, perhaps, in her eyes, Fang was the real equality of all beings.

"Now, under the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, under the great calamity, how can there be a transcendent person? Rather than leave them to fend for themselves, give them a chance to start over! ”

Hou Tu Niang's voice once again echoed over the entire Nine Shades Land.

At the same time, the gods and demons imprisoned in the Nine Shadows Land all awakened their divine senses, and for a while, angry roars rose one after another, as if in response to Hou Tu Niangniang's forgiveness.

"Heavenly reincarnation? Under the catastrophe? ”

And at this moment, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth is still secretly thinking about the words of Hou Tu Niangniang.

"Jizo, you actually dare to disobey the decree of Hou Tu Niang Niang!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong, who was struggling hard, finally grabbed the life-saving straw, and saw that he could not escape the ban at all, so he couldn't help but scold.

"Stinky monkey, I didn't expect you to be so lucky, maybe I want to take a look, just with you, what kind of storm can you set off!"

The Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, who was recalled by Sun Wukong, waved his hand and withdrew the mana blessed on the golden lotus, and looked at Sun Wukong, who was already exhausted, with a playful face.

"Humph! My grandson's ability is a lot! ”

Seeing that the ban was lifted, Sun Wukong's heart couldn't help but be overjoyed, he drooped his head, but his eyes were full of endless fantasies.

"Humph! Even if you have the talent to make trouble in the heavenly palace, you can only fight for it! ”

Thinking of the existence of this Nine Hidden Lands, the King of the Earth Bodhisattva couldn't help but express contempt.

"Yes! Jizo, you reminded my grandson! ”

After being reminded by the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, Sun Wukong also became cautious.

After thinking about it for a long time, Sun Wukong finally made up his mind, and even he didn't dare to guarantee the success or failure of his move, but now, he has no other way.

"Baby, go ahead!"

The next moment, Sun Wukong's head shook, and his face suddenly piled up with joy.

"Whoosh!"

With Sun Wukong's swing, a golden light like a thin needle suddenly burst out of his ear.

"Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick! Sun Wukong, you are really willing! ”

Watching the familiar golden light spin around Sun Wukong for several weeks, it broke through the sky in an instant, and the King Bodhisattva couldn't help but admire Sun Wukong's heroic throw.

After all, the original King Bodhisattva of Jizo also wanted to confiscate Sun Wukong's personal blade, but he was protected by him and didn't give himself the slightest chance at all.

"If you give it a fight, of course, you have to do your best!"

At this time, Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel no regret in his heart, but was surprisingly happy.

"The mountains and rivers are broken, the real devil is here! Sooner or later, my grandson will come back! ”

Thinking of the life-saving hair he hid on the Ruyi golden hoop stick, Sun Wukong's heart was already happy.

"Humph! Sun Wukong, your opportunities have been exhausted, so let's do it yourself! ”

Looking at Sun Wukong's almost crazy expression, the King of the Earth Bodhisattva was not happy, but at this time, he didn't notice that his tone was much calmer than before.

As the voice of the Jizo King Bodhisattva gradually dissipated, his figure also disappeared in front of Sun Wukong, as if he had never been here at all.

And here, only the Monkey King who is full of illusions is left, staring at the endless void and dreaming of returning to the Three Realms in the Spring and Autumn Period.
