After hearing the mastiff monster's story, Wukong said,""Hahaha! I didn't expect you to be such a loyal person. This is similar to me, Old Sun.”
"Cultivation is so difficult, and it's even more difficult for you to cultivate the God Rankings and become a god. However, you lost your immortal position for a mortal woman. It's really a pity, really a pity!”The Bull Demon King cupped his fists and changed the topic." We are fated to meet from a thousand miles away. Today, we brothers and you will become friends without fighting. If you don't mind that the three of us are in the Demon Realm, I, Old Bull, have a suggestion: I want to become sworn brothers with you. What do you think?"
When the mastiff monster heard this, it fell silent. The Bear Demon King was already dissatisfied with the Mastiff Monster, and seeing the Mastiff Monster acting like this, he teased in a bad mood,""Do you think that heroes like us who spend all day in the Demon Realm are not worthy of a former 'Immortal God' like you? Humph!"
When Wukong heard this, his eyes flashed and he said impatiently to the mastiff,""Seeing how hesitant you are, do you really look down on us brothers? Do you think that we brothers are trying to climb up your social ladder by becoming sworn brothers with you?”
The mastiff monster quickly cupped his hands and bowed to the three demons."The three of you have misunderstood me. I'm the same as the three of you. I'm in the Demon Realm, but aren't we all monsters? However, I believe that no matter what kind of situation a cultivator is in, they should have a positive attitude towards cultivation. They should not use their current situation as an excuse to do bad things with a clear conscience. Only then would he have a chance of becoming an immortal. Since we are all monsters, how can I look down on you?”
"Brother, so you're worried about the saying,'One who keeps company with vermilion is red, and one who keeps company with ink is black'!”The Bull Demon King suddenly understood." You're worried that becoming sworn brothers with us will affect your future cultivation to become an immortal." Hahaha, brother, you're worrying too much. Which one of us doesn't want to cultivate to become an immortal? I hope brother can give me more guidance in the future. In the future, we can cultivate to become immortals together.”
"Who cares if he becomes an immortal or a Buddha." "Since you don't look down on us brothers, then let's become brothers immediately."”
Therefore, according to the order of the Chaotic World Bull Demon King, the Herculean Bear Demon King, the Monkey King, and the Mastiff Dog King, the four demons became brothers again and formed a new demon world gang, the Four Demons Gang. Since the Mastiff Dog King did not have his own territory, Wukong had temporarily brought him to live in the Flowerfruit Mountain, using the excuse that the Water Curtain Cave was spacious.
One day, in the Brilliant Hall above the nine heavens, there were no other gods. The Primordial Heavenly Venerate had a worried expression as he said to the Heavenly Emperor,"The Buddhist Sect has developed rapidly in the lower realm. It is said that some of the immortals and gods of my sect are actually two-timing. As immortals of a Dao sect, isn't it ridiculous to study the Buddhist Sect's methods?”
"I think there is nothing wrong with learning from each other.”As the master of the universe, the Celestial Thearch naturally wouldn't govern with the mindset of a Taoist. He thought that it might not be a good thing for Taoism to monopolize the world. He really hoped that there would be two religions in the world that could restrict each other. As a Daoist believer, he had such thoughts in his heart. Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor was unmoved, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate continued,"I heard that the Dragon Princess of the Southern Sea has also become a Buddhist.”
"What?!" As expected by the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, the Heavenly Emperor was indeed shocked when he heard this. He looked at the Primordial Heavenly Venerate and asked,"Is that true?"
"Absolutely!" The Primordial Heavenly Venerate replied affirmatively. "The heavens respect our Dao Sect, and the dragon race and the Exalted Celestial are originally from the same clan. This matter is a blow to our Dao Sect, but it is a crisis for the Heavenly Court!”
The Celestial Thearch was silent for a long time before he said,"I am the master of the universe. The Dao and the Buddha belong to me." If Buddhism can share my worries like Taoism, promote good Dharma, and educate all things, it would be a blessing for me. Spreading the Buddha Lord's mercy, I can give him a try.”
"It's said that the Buddha Lord is powerful and has boundless magical powers. I wonder how the Celestial Venerable can test his sincerity in respecting the heavens?”
"Tomorrow, I will send a Taoist Master to Divine Wind Palace to go to the Buddhist Kingdom to announce the new Four Heavenly Kings of the Buddhist Kingdom. He will come to Heaven to assist the Heavenly Soldiers and Divine Generals in guarding the Four Heavenly Gates of Heaven. If the four heavenly kings were to restrain themselves and obey my orders, wouldn't my Kingdom of Heaven have more Buddhist guards? If the Four Heavenly Kings don't listen to my orders, I know the intentions of Buddhism. Then, they wouldn't have pretended to be on par with our Daoists.”
Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor was so opinionated, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate did not say anything else.
Time flew. One day, the Heavenly Emperor gathered the civil and military immortal ministers in the Divine Wind Palace to listen to the Confucian Saint's lecture. Suddenly, a Divine General on duty outside the palace came in and reported,""Heavenly Venerable, King Qinguang of the Netherworld is waiting outside the hall.”
"Summon King Qinguang into the palace," said the Heavenly Emperor.”
"Summon King Qinguang into the palace," said the Heavenly Emperor.”
King Qinguang entered the palace and bowed to the Celestial Thearch before presenting the memorial. The Celestial Thearch took the memorial and read it,"
Today, there is a demon monkey named "Monkey King" born in the world of Huaguo Mountain in the demon world--Sun Wukong.
He broke into the 18 levels of hell in the Netherworld, caused a ruckus in the Senluo Hall, and snatched the demonic ox.
Demon King and Mighty Bear Demon King had killed and injured many Ghost Reapers.
You have violated the laws of the underworld and violated the majesty of heaven. In order to make the Yin and Yang cycle in the underworld orderly, the cycle of life and death repeated
There was no end. The God of the Underworld implored the Heavenly Venerate to send the Heavenly Army to the lower realm to subdue the Monkey Demon. To the netherworld
Yongtai, there is a limit to the cycle of death. I respectfully submit a memorial.
After reading the memorial, the Celestial Thearch said to King Qinguang,""You can return to the Nether World first. I will not allow the monkey demon to mess with my laws. I will definitely send the heavenly soldiers to the lower realm to capture the monkey demon and punish him.”
King Qinguang bowed and thanked him, then left the Divine Wind Palace and returned to the underworld.
The Celestial Thearch said to the civil and military immortals,"Sun Wukong, the demon monkey of the Flowerfruit Mountain in the Lower Realm, has caused havoc in the netherworld and disrupted our laws. I wonder where this demonic monkey came from. How did it have the ability to reach the netherworld?”
Clairvoyant, Clairaudient, and Clairvoyant stepped forward and reported to the Celestial Thearch,""Heavenly Venerable, this demon monkey is the divine monkey that sensed the spiritual energy of the sun and moon three hundred years ago. When this monkey was born, it let out a long howl that shook the heavens. The gods requested to capture this monkey, but Lord Dao De said,"'Since he was born from heaven and earth, let him be.'The Celestial Venerable did as the Old Lord said and did not pursue the matter anymore. He did not expect that this demon monkey had actually learned such a divine power in the lower realm for more than 300 years and had caused today's disaster.”
Heavenly Army Marshal Pagoda Bearing Heavenly King Li also came out to report,""Heavenly Venerate, when this monkey was born, the Heavenly Venerate once said: 'If this monkey cultivates to become an immortal, it will benefit the Three Realms. If you become a Demon, you will disrupt the order of the Three Realms. At that time, the little god had tried to ask the lower realm to capture this demon monkey to prevent future troubles. The Celestial Venerable had the virtue of cherishing life. The demon monkey was born from the ancestor's stone that mended the heavens, so he let it go. Unexpectedly, the Monkey Demon Fruit fulfilled the prophecy of the Heavenly Venerate and entered the demonic path, causing havoc in the underworld.”Heavenly King Li raised his head and looked at the Celestial Thearch. He asked again,""Little God, please issue a decree for me to lead troops to the lower realm to capture the demon monkey and punish it. I will strictly enforce the law and raise the prestige of the Heavenly Venerable.”
"I remember now, it happened a year ago in the Heavenly Court. A day in the sky was equivalent to a year on earth. That stone monkey had already been in the lower realm for more than 360 years.”At this moment, the Celestial Thearch seemed to have thought of this as well. He stroked his beard and said,""Since this monkey has already entered the demonic path as a demon and has caused a huge disaster in the netherworld, we can't spare him today. I will allow Li Qing to immediately lead the Heavenly Army to capture the demon monkey and punish it.”
Heavenly King Li was about to turn around and leave the hall when he heard Confucius Saint shout,""Heavenly King, please take your time.”
"What does the sage have to say?" the Celestial Thearch asked confusedly.”
Ru Zu cupped his hands and bowed to the Celestial Thearch,""This stone monkey was born from the essence of heaven and earth. It is naturally kind and cannot be compared to ordinary beasts. It was only because he had been in the lower realm for a long time and had been associated with ghosts and demons for a long time that he lacked upbringing and was contaminated with bad habits that he entered the demonic path and caused a disaster in the underworld. Thinking about how this monkey was born less than 300 years ago, it already had the ability to open the netherworld and wreak havoc in the netherworld. It could be seen that it had already attained the Dao with a demon body. If he could guide him and make him work for Heavenly Court, he would definitely become a rare demon subduer in the future.”
Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor's expression had softened, Ru Zu continued,""If you can recruit the stone monkey into the celestial heavens, then your magnanimity and benevolence will be even more revered by the living beings of the Three Realms.”
When the Celestial Thearch heard this, Taibai Jinxing walked out of the class and bowed to the Celestial Thearch,""Heavenly Venerate Divine Ancestor, ever since the Four Seas Dragon Venerable resigned from his post and retired, the activities of demons and ghosts in the three worlds have become increasingly rampant. Although there are many immortals and gods in our celestial heavens, most of them are greedy for peace and are diligent in their duties. There are very few who take the initiative to attack and subdue demons…"
Heavenly King Li, as a Heavenly Army Marshal, specialized in subduing demons and devils. Hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, he suspected that he was referring to something. Before Taibai Jinxing finished, he hurriedly bowed and reported to the emperor," My Lord, I think our world is peaceful and the world is bright. How can there be demons running amok in the world?" To say such alarmist words, it was indeed Venus's sensationalization and lies, it was not worth believing.”
Taibai Jinxing retorted,"Heavenly King Li, that stone monkey and his sworn brothers have been running amok in the lower realm for more than a day, right?" If you were diligent in your duties, how could you have allowed the stone monkey to become powerful and cause such a disaster in the netherworld? If the marshal didn't always have the mindset of 'go where the fire is,' and had a little more sense of responsibility of 'taking precautions before it happens', the demons in the lower realm wouldn't be so rampant.”
"Three hundred years ago, when the demon monkey was born, I requested for the imperial edict to eradicate it. However, the Celestial Venerable had the virtue of cherishing life and spared the demon monkey's life. What does today's disaster have to do with me?" Heavenly King Li said anxiously.
"I'm just using the Stone Monkey as an example. There are thousands of demons in the lower realm.”Taibai Jinxing looked at Li Jing and smiled." Hehe, I'm just reminding you out of kindness. Why are you so nervous?"”
Heavenly King Li and Taibai Jinxing had been at odds with each other for a long time, and they often tore each other apart in the main hall. Seeing Taibai Jinxing criticizing him in front of the Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly King Li was furious. He was about to find out more about Taibai Jinxing's embarrassing incident, but the Heavenly Monarch looked at Heavenly King Li and said,""Li Jing, Taibai Jinxing is right. As the commander of the army who specializes in vanquishing demons and devils, don't think that the temporary peace of the Three Realms will be eternal. In the future, you have to diligently supervise the demon-subduing gods of the celestial heavens and often go down to the lower realm to take the initiative to understand the developments of the demon world. Instead of staying in the marshal's residence and listening to God's reports.”The Celestial Thearch looked at Heavenly King Li with displeasure.""When I heard the report, everything that should have happened happened. At that time, he could only do something to make up for it.”Heavenly King Li felt ashamed and hated Venus.
