Siheyuan: I Called the Police at the Beginning

"Ah, it's a living person! A living person has come to the underworld."

After a person becomes a ghost, it seems that even their sanity decreases.

The presence of the living is as conspicuous as a torch in the night sky in the eyes of ghosts.

They never even consider why a living person would appear in the underworld, or whether this living person is extraordinary.

Even with the Black and White Impermanence following them around.

Along the way, the old ghosts, who had been wandering for many years and were filled with longing and greed for the flesh and blood and yang energy of the living, began to stir.

If it weren't for the accumulated power of the Black and White Impermanence.

These old ghosts, who have been starving for who knows how many years, are probably already eager to pounce on Geng Ping'an.

They were ready to tear this stranger apart alive.

Even with the rebukes of the Black and White Impermanence, some of the old ghosts still couldn't help but keep moving closer to Geng Ping'an.

It seemed as if they were considering taking advantage of the moment when Black and White Impermanence were off guard and swallowing Geng Ping'an whole.

Then they immediately ran away.

As long as they can get their first bite of fresh flesh and blood, even if they are caught and punished by the Black and White Impermanence afterward, they will accept it.

Fortunately, just as these ghosts were about to launch an attack on Geng Ping'an...

Geng Ping'an disliked these ugly old ghosts, but they stared at him with a lecherous and seductive gaze.

A thought came into my mind.

Connecting with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Laws cultivated within the Sea of ​​Consciousness, six enormous primordial millstones materialized and appeared in the sky.

Crushing the entire underworld.

As for those nearly a million old ghosts that were close to Geng Ping'an, they lost their lives instantly.

The soul energy was ground into drops of pure energy by the suddenly appearing giant millstone, which was instantly absorbed and refined by Geng Ping'an.

This subtly enhanced his extraordinary soul.

Since they had already decided to wreak havoc in the underworld like Sun Wukong...

Furthermore, his own strength and background were also recognized by the celestial beings of Heaven.

Geng Ping'an didn't mind making things worse.

They killed a group of old ghosts and evil spirits who had been accumulating in the underworld for countless years, causing their souls to be scattered.

So what if it goes against the natural order?

So what if the underworld can't settle the score?

What he wants is to turn this world upside down, and then see whether the forces plotting against him behind the scenes will suffer, or whether he will become the second Sun Wukong and become the enemy of the people.

The two points that are completely different from Sun Wukong are:

First, his strength is undoubtedly far greater than Sun Wukong's, and he also knows that the strongest forces in Heaven and Mount Ling are at the Quasi-Saint level.

He's not some fool who thinks he's invincible just because he has a little bit of strength.

Secondly, he is not from this world and has many ways to save his life and escape.

If the fighting gets really intense and he ends up surrounded by a group of deeply hidden quasi-saints, he can just pack up and leave.

Instead of fighting them to the bitter end, we can even wait until they become saints and then make a comeback.

Let's settle some old scores with them and see who has the last laugh.

“Great Immortal, please come this way. It was the old ghosts who were rude and disturbed your peaceful cultivation.”

He witnessed countless vengeful ghosts vanish and their souls dissipate within a year of Geng Ping'an's passing.

The Black and White Impermanence were so frightened that they dared not say more, let alone neglect or question Geng Ping'an even once.

Because despite their considerable reputation among humans, they would be devoured and overwhelmed by a riot of millions of vengeful ghosts.

In front of Geng Ping'an, the millions of vengeful ghosts were nothing more than ants.

Since Geng Ping'an can kill thousands of fierce ghosts with a single thought, he can also make them vanish without a trace with a single thought.

By contrast.

Let's not talk about Yama, the King of Hell.

Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who vowed not to become a Buddha until hell is empty, might not have such methods.

It's even more powerful than the great immortal in front of us.

As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, knowing that their lives depend on Geng Ping'an within a year.

The Black and White Impermanence became increasingly polite and cautious towards Geng Ping'an.

They didn't know whether Geng Ping'an would live or die afterward.

But if Geng Ping'an becomes unhappy, they will definitely die before Geng Ping'an does.

"My lord, this is Immortal Geng Ping'an. For some reason, the Book of Life and Death says that his lifespan has ended, but he is an enlightened immortal like the Great Sage."

Before arriving at the Yama's Palace, the Black and White Impermanence encountered the Judge again on the way.

Upon seeing this, they felt as if they had seen a savior and immediately confessed their mistake to the judge.

Meanwhile, the whispered laughter told the judge that Geng Ping'an's strength might even surpass that of the Great Sage.

After all, even the Great Sage of yesteryear.

He killed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of evil spirits in the underworld with just an iron rod.

Nobody is as awesome as Geng Ping'an.

Even a great sage who has attained Buddhahood cannot necessarily crush a million vengeful ghosts in the underworld in a year.

Furthermore, it can absorb and refine into the most refined soul energy.

This method is extremely defying the heavens and can be considered demonic.

But how could they dare to rebuke Geng Ping'an for his demonic behavior when he was face to face?

Instead, we need to soothe his emotions.

They were afraid that if he got angry, he would wipe them out along with all the fierce ghosts in the underworld, turning them all into his food.

"I can't help it. What's wrong with you? You made a mistake once, and now you want to make it again?"

"From now on, don't say I'm your superior. I'll pretend I never heard of this, and you never saw me, understand?"

In fact, all the Black and White Impermanence, as well as Ox-Head and Horse-Face, are under the jurisdiction and supervision of the Judge.

However, there are quite a few judges in the underworld.

Over countless dynasties, one might encounter countless upright judges who are legendary figures in the human world.

Having served as a bureaucrat for so long, I wonder how much of the original sense of justice and humanity remains in a judge's heart.

But the judge in front of him clearly didn't want to get involved in this mess.

The calamity is too great; even the Black and White Impermanence cannot bear it.

Could he, a mere judge, possibly bear such a heavy responsibility?

He dared to say that even if this matter went to the King of Hell, he might not dare to question him.

Instead, one should be honest, polite, and use kind words to send the immortal away in a way that satisfies him.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the judge suddenly dodged and vanished from the sight of the Black and White Impermanence.

The Black and White Impermanence, who had initially wanted to shift the blame, were left speechless.

At this moment, all they could do was continue leading Geng Ping'an toward the Hall of Hell.

Needless to say, as the top official in the underworld.

There was no need for the Black and White Impermanence to announce their arrival; the little devils had already reported their arrival to Yama before they even arrived.

He quickly approached Geng Ping'an.

Yama immediately apologized repeatedly.

"Immortal, I have failed to provide adequate hospitality and have had to come in person. Your presence truly brings honor to the Netherworld."

I don't know if it's because I'm naturally bad at flattery, or if spending too much time in the underworld has made my thinking rigid.

He looked at Yama, whose face was truly dark, and saw him smiling obsequiously.

Geng Ping'an was speechless.

That was a really awkward attempt at flattery.

However, he is not like Sun Wukong, who knows nothing and is not easily fooled into sympathizing with Yama by his feigned submission.

With a cold expression, Geng Ping'an went straight to the point and explained the whole story.

"I have already cultivated to become an immortal, and I also possess the martial arts of immortality, the technology to become a god, the indestructible body of the Ancestral Witch Law, and many other secret techniques for eternal life."

"I just ate a nine-thousand-year-old peach and a nine-turn golden elixir yesterday."

"How could my lifespan be ending so suddenly?"

"Are you trying to say that the Queen Mother's peaches of immortality and Laozi's elixir of immortality are fake?"

"They not only cannot extend lifespan, but can actually shorten it, causing immortals to die of old age."

"What's even more ridiculous and suspicious is that I'm not even a being of this world, yet your Book of Life and Death says I'm from Hangzhou?" "Everything else is wrong, but my name and my temporary residence in Hangzhou are recorded very accurately in the Book of Life and Death."

There was no need for Geng Ping'an to say anything more.

Yama knew there was a lot of shady stuff going on; was this something a mere minor deity like him could possibly hear about?

Don't tell him that Sun Wukong's classic scene is about to repeat itself.

Thinking about this, Yama decided he didn't want to take the blame.

He didn't know how powerful Sun Wukong was or what his origins were, so after tricking the monkey away, he was bewitched and went to the Heavenly Court to complain.

Incidentally, it also settled a large amount of old debts.

But this time, it sounds like Geng Ping'an's identity is more difficult to figure out than Sun Dasheng's.

This must be another Buddhist conspiracy.

He did it the first time, and now he wants to do it again.

As the King of Hell in the underworld, how was he able to survive for so many years in the cracks between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism?

They did not die in the line of duty, nor were they brought down by other subordinates who wanted to advance or by the second generation of other powerful figures.

Yama, the King of Hell, is quite knowledgeable and intelligent.

In an instant, I understood many key points.

Knowing that they can't fight like gods, the little devils suffer.

So he immediately pretended to be confused and said...

"Immortal, you see, I've misread it. There must be someone with the same name in the Book of Life and Death. I've made a mistake with you."

"With your level of cultivation, how could your lifespan have already ended?"

"Now, I will immediately go and investigate personally to find out where the Book of Life and Death is wrong and give the immortal an explanation."

"But before that, please go back first, Immortal. There are still some unclear issues afterward, and we need to investigate them thoroughly. We will definitely not let the Immortal's wish be fulfilled."

We, the people of later generations, already know the relevant information and are currently verifying it; all other information is unknown.

There are similarities in the same way.

Faced with a situation involving countless schemes and powerful figures.

The King of Hell is wise and prudent in protecting himself; he seems to have said a lot, but not a single word of his is actually useful.

Who knows how many years from now these guarantees will remain unverified?

They simply refused to give any positive response.

Geng Ping'an was aware of the King of Hell's predicament.

He originally wanted to find another reason to cause a huge scene, but Yama was so sensible.

He suddenly found it difficult to lash out.

After all, the underworld is essentially a lackey of the Heavenly Court. Didn't you see that when the underworld was wreaked havoc last time, Yama went to the Jade Emperor to complain about Sun Wukong?

Now that he has just received many benefits from the Heavenly Court, he can't afford to make things too difficult for the Underworld.

Otherwise, the Jade Emperor would lose face.

Nodding, Geng Ping'an prepared to leave the underworld and let Yama investigate at his leisure.

Anyway, he didn't come to the underworld empty-handed.

The vast amount of soul energy absorbed and refined by the million ghosts just now was actually equivalent to his hundreds of years of arduous cultivation and meditation.

He was the only one who cultivated the Six Paths of Reincarnation Law, which was perfectly compatible with the Underworld.

Only then can one refine countless ghosts into absorbable soul energy without any side effects.

"Benefactor, wait! You caused millions of ghosts to be scattered in the underworld, and you think you can just walk away? That's not right!"

Just when both Yama and Geng Ping'an were satisfied.

Seeing that Geng Ping'an was about to leave safely, he patted his backside.

A person radiating Buddhist light emerged from the shadows and immediately began to interrogate Geng Ping'an, attempting to stop him.

"Why don't you stay in the eighteen levels of hell with me and chant sutras for these souls every day to redeem your sins?"

Is this old monk Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? He looks so arrogant and like he deserves a beating.

He keeps telling him to atone for his sins; who does he think he is?

And Yama confirmed Geng Ping'an's guess, realizing that the monk in front of him was also not someone to be trifled with.

King Yama hurriedly asked respectfully.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, what brings you here?"

Ha ha!

Thinking of Ksitigarbha's unreasonable demands, Geng Ping'an immediately understood.

The mastermind behind it all is this guy, or even the Buddha himself.

Compared to the truly compassionate and kind Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva he met in the movie "My Love from the Star," who possessed great wisdom and the ability to make great sacrifices.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva before me is undoubtedly hypocritical, ruthless, shameless, and disgusting.

It is entirely a direct descendant of the two shameless saints of the primordial era.

Geng Ping'an had figured this out.

For now.

The Heavenly Court's attitude towards him is still unknown, but it's estimated that they hope he will become a variable and cause trouble for Buddhism.

The Buddhist sect was unaware that Guanyin's previous show of goodwill towards him was a feigned weakness to lull him into a false sense of security.

There are still disagreements within Buddhism.

Guanyin and Ksitigarbha had different views on him.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva undoubtedly felt that by marrying Bai Suzhen, he had disrupted the Buddhist community's plans and was an enemy and obstacle that needed to be eliminated.

That's why the scene of the underworld collecting souls happened earlier.

He planned to use the same methods he used against Sun Wukong to completely trap himself in the underworld, becoming a wronged soul.

In this way, if he is less skilled, he will be killed.

And then he really died.

What use is it if the time traveler's identity is so bizarre?

Now that things have come to this, would the Heavenly Court and others really cause trouble for Buddhism over a mere extraterrestrial demon?

It is not impossible that many immortals also knew of him as the greatest anomaly in the world to date.

However, they held a wait-and-see attitude towards him, the most special extraterrestrial demon.

Let him have conflicts with Buddhism, and remain neutral.

That's why no one reminded him of anything, not even the slightest thing.

After all, Geng Ping'an didn't believe it.

Even if the underworld and Buddhism intend to make a move, those enemies of Buddhism, as well as powerful beings who can predict the future, will not sense or receive any information.

"Bah, good monk, those evil spirits deserved to die."

"But you, who said you wouldn't become a Buddha until hell is empty, why don't you just die?"

"Didn't the Buddha say that form is emptiness and emptiness is form, and that birth and death are all empty of the four elements?"

"When you die, hell will be empty, and you won't need to care about your vows anymore."

"Furthermore, even Yama said that the Book of Life and Death is wrong. Do you think you are more powerful than the Book of Life and Death and can know the cycle of life and death in the underworld?"

"What right do you have to swagger around in the underworld?"

“Benefactor, you are mistaken. A monk does not lie. I do indeed have a copy of the Book of Life and Death.”

Faced with Geng Ping'an's provocation, Ksitigarbha suddenly chuckled.

He wasn't angry.

Upon seeing this, Geng Ping'an was slightly taken aback, and then immediately realized what was happening.

After such a long period of time, the Buddhist sect's years of scheming to control the underworld have clearly succeeded.

It seems that the underworld is completely unable to resist the invasion of the Heavenly Court and Buddhism.

It wasn't just that the eighteen levels of hell were lost back then, allowing Ksitigarbha, that troublemaker, to enter with his arrogant vow.

They forcibly occupied a large area of ​​the underworld from Mount Ling.

It became an unwelcome guest that couldn't be driven away.

Now, even the Book of Life and Death cannot be guarded by the underworld; Ksitigarbha has actually obtained one.

Even if the original is still in Houtu's hands, neither Yama nor any other saint can take it away.

But what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva possesses is undoubtedly a copy or a magical artifact clone that Yama King once had. (End of Chapter)
