76 -76: Sending Old Sun to Reincarnation
Although Sun Wukong now wanted to directly enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation and be reincarnated, it hardly mattered since it was just a split of his Monkey Fur.
However, if he directly refused to acknowledge the Judge now, it seemed more likely that his intentions would be discovered, which could result in his plan failing.
“Alright, since you said you made a mistake, I, Old Sun, will go with you.
But if you dare deceive me, I must have an explanation today!”
Sun Wukong thought for a moment before saying this.
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Judge breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that Sun Wukong didn’t immediately leap into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
This also gave them a chance to wait for Sun Wukong to cause a disturbance in the Underworld.
Perhaps because he demanded an explanation, Sun Wukong might create chaos in the Underworld as well.
By then, wouldn’t it be possible for them to fulfill the task entrusted by Buddhism?
“What sort of explanation does the Great King demand?”
The Judge’s heart surged with excitement, his interest piqued as he looked at Sun Wukong.
“Explanation?
Naturally, you have to give me an explanation.
If it does not satisfy me, I will stay in the Underworld forever!”
Sun Wukong didn’t understand why the Judge seemed somewhat pleased upon hearing about his demand for an explanation.
But it was not important.
If he did not get his explanation, he would not leave.
Either that or he would be reincarnated.
He must resolve the issue thoroughly.
As for how it would be resolved, since it was just a splitting of his Monkey Fur, he would not be at a loss.
He had never even considered causing a disturbance in the Underworld.
The Underworld is under the power of the Celestial Court, with Ksitigarbha Pusa presiding, and where the forces of Buddhism and Daoism intertwine and conflict, making it exceedingly complicated.
Unless stuffed full and idle, no one would stir trouble here.
However, upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, the Judge couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.
Of course, the most critical thing now was to ensure that Sun Wukong did not jump into the Six Paths of Reincarnation; as for the rest, they would take it slow.
If it really doesn’t work, just send this monkey away.
After bowing to Meng Po, he then led Sun Wukong back to King Qin Guang’s Palace.
When they returned to the grand hall this time, the entire Ten Yama Kings of the Underworld were already present.
As the leader of the Ten Yama Kings, King Qin Guang naturally sat at the head.
According to the order from there, Chu Jiang Wang, Emperor Song, King Wu Guan, King Yama, King Biancheng, King Taishan, City King, King of Equality, and Cakravala.
All Ten Yama Kings gathered together.
At that moment, when the Ten Yama Kings saw Sun Wukong and the Judge return, their faces involuntarily showed a flattering expression.
Completely different from the severe demeanor they had maintained before.
It was like night and day.
“We greet the Great King!”
King Qin Guang said with a smile.
However, because of King Qin Guang’s burly stature and somewhat fierce face, the smile appeared somewhat grotesque and terrifying.
As for the other nine Yama Kings, although they did not speak, they also showed a benign appearance.
Clearly, they had already been informed by the Judge.
This monkey had stubbornly decided to follow his destined path, claiming he would go to reincarnation without causing any disturbance in the Underworld.
Thus, they naturally decided not to keep this monkey here any longer; any problems could spell disaster for them.
After all, they had already tried their best.
If Sun Wukong didn’t cause a commotion in the Underworld, what could they do?
“Now that everyone is here, Old Sun must ask, this Judge claimed Old Sun’s lifespan was miscalculated, is that true?”
Sun Wukong stood nonchalantly in the middle of the hall, asking directly without any courtesy.
“As for this matter, we are unaware, after all, the Book of Life and Death has always been in the hands of the Judge!”
Qin Guang laughed as he spoke, then turned the conversation, “It is excusable if the Judge made a mistake, considering the countless beings enduring birth, aging, sickness, and death daily.
An error or two is only natural.
I hope the Great King will not blame us!”
“Indeed, we, the Ten Yama Kings, are constantly judging wandering souls and wild ghosts, hardly having a moment of rest, let alone managing the life and death of countless beings.
We hope the Great King will not hold it against us!”
Chu Jiang Wang also said with a smile.
Although the Underworld had almost never made a mistake regarding the life and death of beings,
the daily onslaught of numerous wandering souls and wild ghosts was true.
And as for the Judge, who managed the life and death of beings, naturally, it was even more strenuous, seeming as though an error was inevitable.
“Oh, so you say you made a mistake and that’s it?”
Sun Wukong frowned and said, “Old Sun died for nothing?”
“This…”
Upon hearing this, Qin Guang was suddenly at a loss for words.
Although they managed the Underworld, they also could not afford any mistakes, for the heavens would punish them otherwise.
They wouldn’t normally do this unless the Buddhism of the Western Heaven insisted.
But, they couldn’t disclose this to Sun Wukong, and for a moment really, Qin Guang didn’t know what to say.
After a silence, he finally said, “The Book of Life and Death is a Post-Heaven Merit Spiritual Treasure that defies nature; it should harbor no errors.
Bringing the Great King here today was our fault, please don’t blame us!”
Qin Guang said, looking towards Black and White Impermanence standing behind Sun Wukong, and sternly said, “Black and White Impermanence, do you acknowledge your mistakes?”
Startled by Qin Guang’s sudden shift in tone, Black and White Impermanence were taken aback.
What was this, throwing them under the bus?
They were just following Qin Guang’s orders.
Why was it suddenly their fault? freeweɓnøvel.com
It was clearly a case of the innocent bearing the brunt.
Just as they were about to say something, they felt a chilling gaze from Qin Guang.
Frightened, Black and White Impermanence trembled and quickly knelt down.
“Reporting to Lord Yama, this incident is entirely our fault, please punish us, and we are willing to accept the punishment!”
With those words, Black and White Impermanence repeatedly kowtowed.
Although they were reluctant, there was nothing they could do; since the Ten Yama Kings had already spoken, they had to accept it.
After all, they were of lower status and had been dragged into this mess.
If they resisted and were to metaphorically receive small shoes to wear later, their days ahead would be tough.
“Great King, as you see, Black and White Impermanence have already admitted their mistake, which shows that all faults lay with them.
We will certainly discipline them properly.
May the Great King please consider this matter resolved?”
Qin Guang explained with a pleading look.
Watching Qin Guang and the others trying to simply sing a duet and wish this issue away?
Did they think Sun Wukong was a fool?
“You all are Yamas, yet now you wish to act imperiously, thinking to resolve this by sacrificing a mere two scapegoats?
Do you really think Old Sun is foolish?”
“No, if you don’t provide Old Sun with a proper explanation, Old Sun won’t leave!”
Sun Wukong declared as he sat down on the spot, kicking his feet about, quite comically.
Originally, he had come down to use a doppelganger in place of his true self to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation, to prevent any issues in the future.
Now Qin Guang claimed the two subordinates had made a mistake, and that was it?
“Then, Great King, what would you like?”
“Send Old Sun to reincarnation, as if none of this had ever happened!”
