In front of Meng Po's Pavilion, the night quicksand was confronting Meng Po, but the monkey and Tang Xuansong were watching the play on the side.

"Lao Tzu is a living person, why should I drink this soup too?"

"Whether you are a human or a ghost, if you want to pass from me, you must drink Meng Po soup, or you will jump into the Lethe River, or you will go back. ”

"Lao Tzu sees that you are an old woman, and I don't want to hurt you, don't kick your nose in the face!"

"My wife has never seen anyone, if you were afraid, you wouldn't be a Meng Po here. ”

"Since you don't eat hard and soft, then Lao Tzu will smash your broken pavilion!"

As he spoke, Night Quicksand rolled up his sleeves and prepared to make a move, when a beast roared from outside the pavilion, and a monk in a robe appeared in front of the pavilion riding a unicorn shaped like a lion.

The monk jumped off the unicorn's back and said, "Stop." ”

A few people looked back and saw the monk, Night Quicksand exclaimed and said, "It's you!"

"All sentient beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proven, hell is not empty, and he vows not to become a Buddha. Jizo King Bodhisattva, I didn't expect to see you again. When Sun Wukong saw the monk, he was happy.

Meng Po also respectfully bowed to the monk.

The one who came was the Jizo King Bodhisattva. When the quicksand crawled out of the mass grave on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Jizo King Bodhisattva appeared to persuade the night quicksand to let go of his obsession, and at this time the two met again, but in the Meng Po Pavilion.

The unicorn beside the Jizo King Bodhisattva was his mount, Di Ting, and the Jizo King looked at the night quicksand and said, "The benefactor can be good again, so why do you have evil thoughts here?"

"Lao Tzu cares about his good and evil, I am uncomfortable when I get in the way, and my hands itch if I am uncomfortable, if you can make me comfortable, I will naturally be happy. "Night quicksand is impulsive and straightforward, and he speaks simply.

The king of Jizo said, "Meng Po is also doing her duty, I know why you are here, but you don't have to cross the bridge. As he spoke, a booklet appeared in the hand of King Jizo.

"This booklet is the Book of Life and Death. King Jizo took the booklet and said to the quicksand of the night. After speaking, he handed the book of life and death to the night quicksand.

The night quicksand was illiterate, Tang Xuansong quickly walked over and looked at the book of life and death.

The Book of Life and Death was supposed to be in the hands of the judge, but now that the judge and the king of Yama are gone, there is no one in charge.

Night Quicksand and Tang Xuansong were looking at the book of life and death, and King Jizo turned his head to look at the monkey and said, "Fighting to defeat the Buddha, we really haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

The monkey grinned and said, "You still call me Wukong, I don't feel comfortable listening to the victory over the Buddha." I've been awake for so long, and I've finally seen my old friend. Bodhisattva, do you know what happened 10,000 years ago?"

King Jizo said: "When the catastrophe of Hongmeng came, the Buddha used his Dharma body to resist the catastrophe, leaving a glimmer of life for the Three Realms. It's a pity that the gods have fallen. After the catastrophe, the clear air fell to the ground, and the turbid qi ascended to the sky. Some mortals with wisdom roots have either cultivated into scattered immortals or cultivated into Buddhas, and later generations of Buddhas have discovered the secret of the Buddha's Dharma Body to resist the catastrophe, so they only wish to stay in the place where the Buddha's Dharma Body sits and guards it forever. Those scattered immortals found that the gods in the heavenly realm were all demons turned into some turbidity, so they were only willing to cultivate in the human world. Therefore, today's gods are no longer gods, and immortal Buddhas are still immortal Buddhas, but they are not in the heavenly realm, but choose to stay in the human world. ”

"When the gods fell, I was not spared. Now I am just a Dharma body that has not dissipated back then. The gods of the past, now in the true sense of the word, only you and I sit down and listen to the divine beasts. ”

King Jizo gently stroked Di Ting's back, and Di Ting fell to the ground, closed his eyes and wagged his tail, as if he was coquettish.

Sun Wukong listened to the King of Jizo tell about the events of the year, and Tang Xuansong suddenly cried.

The monkey looked at Tang Xuansong, and knew without asking that it must have been Tang Xuansong who saw the names of his relatives on the book of life and death.

"Monkey, it says in the life and death book that my family was drowned in the flood back then, and now they have long been reincarnated, but I am still looking for it. I don't have any family anymore, and I feel like I'm choking on something in my throat right now, and I can't swallow or spit it out. I'm so sad!" Tang Xuansong was like a homeless child, his tears were full of confusion and helplessness.

The night quicksand patted him on the shoulder, comforting him.

"Lao Sha, don't comfort me. I just saw that there is also a name on the life and death book that your master Lao Gu understands, he died in a foreign land fifteen years ago, and now he is also reincarnated. Tang Xuansong said with a handful of snot and tears, hearing the news, Night Quicksand also cried, and the two hugged each other, acting like children.

"Life and death are fate, and the two of you don't have to be sad. The deceased has already entered the next reincarnation, so why should you be obsessed. The suffering of all beings is due to obsession, let go of obsession, the mind is detached, and the pain is not there. King Jizo persuaded the two of them, and then recited the Buddhist scriptures lightly.

Sun Wukong also said: "Don't cry, since the deceased has been reincarnated, it has nothing to do with you." Now that I have learned the truth, I will take you back to the world and send you back to Green Snake Town. Jizo King Bodhisattva, you wait for me for a while, and I'll go back when I go. ”

The monkey was in a hurry, grabbing Tang Xuansong and the night quicksand respectively and flying away.

After sending the two back to Green Snake Town, the monkey immediately returned to the underworld and came to the Meng Po Pavilion again.

"Bodhisattva, is there a treasure called the Reincarnation Treasure under the Eighteen Layers of Hell?" the monkey came this time to ask directly in the face of the Jizo King.

King Jizo nodded, "The Reincarnation Treasure is indeed hidden under hell, but I have never seen it, and I don't know what this treasure looks like. Because under the eighteen layers of hell, no one can go in. Even I couldn't get in, and even the Buddha didn't dare to get close. ”

The monkey pondered for a while, then said to King Jizo, "Bodhisattva, if you say that if I can go back in time through the Treasure of Samsara and change history, will the dead gods really come back to life?"

King Jizo said: "I don't even know why the Hongmeng Tribulation came into being, and only a few ancient gods knew the secret of this great calamity. Therefore, under the catastrophe, it is difficult to change history. If you insist on going back in time and changing history, I don't know whether you will succeed or fail, and I can't give you advice. ”

"Well, that's not going to happen for now. But I still have a few questions I want to ask the Bodhisattva, do you know that there are four messengers and scripture transmitters of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting in this world, if so, is Mo Tong one of the storytellers of the scriptures, did the qin demon and the chess saint ever tell me a lie and mislead me, did Yang Jian deliberately break up my true body back then, and exerted his divine power to resurrect me now in 10,000 years? What is the relationship between Night Quicksand, Liu Xingyan and Tang Xuansong and my master Sanzang, Bajie and Wujing? The monkey spoke all the questions in his heart and waited for the Jizo King Bodhisattva to answer.
