The King of Hell opened the Book of Life and Death, checked one by one, and found that it was true.
Then he frowned and said, "His origins are correct. He still has over 100,000 years to live."
The judge said, "Sir, there is indeed no doubt about his origins. However, he has been sneaking around in the underworld where many ghost kings are present. He has been reported by the ghost kings. We must investigate his purpose."
The King of Hell nodded, then said, "Master Hanshan, I would like to ask you, why are you haunting the places where the ghost kings are fighting in the underworld? Are you plotting something nefarious?"
Taoist Hanshan said, "I am just looking for some herbs needed for cultivation. I mean no offense."
The King of Hell said, "But the ghost kings all said they were disturbed by you."
Taoist Hanshan said, "If I'm disturbing you, I apologize."
The judge said, "That's ridiculous! If an apology were useful, what would we do?"
The King of Hell glared at him, and the meaning was very clear, that is, he must not interrupt him.
The judge quickly lowered his head, and the King of Hell slammed the gavel and said, "Yes, what do you want us to do?"
Taoist Hanshan said, "Then let's each take a step back. I won't apologize, and you let me go."
The cheeks of Yan Wang and his men twitched.
Then, he became furious.
The King of Hell said angrily, "How dare you! Are you kidding us?"
Taoist Hanshan frowned and said, "I'm not kidding you. I'm speaking truth to you and giving you a chance to mend your ways."
The King of Hell laughed angrily and said, "How dare you! Are you threatening us? Do you know that you are already a prisoner?"
Taoist Hanshan's eyes rolled and he said, "So, do you know my origins and identity?"
The King of Hell said, "Your whole life is written in the Book of Life and Death. Is there anything you don't know?"
Taoist Hanshan said, "But you obviously don't know who my teacher is or how I have such amazing abilities."
Yan Wang and others looked at each other and were really stunned by Hanshan's words.
Taoist Hanshan's strength is indeed amazing, he has already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, but he is no match for the King of Hell.
but.
The King of Hell saw that Taoist Hanshan was only about a hundred years old, but had such high cultivation level, so he thought that he must have an extraordinary background.
Perhaps, learn from a powerful person.
He then asked, "Who is your master?"
Taoist Hanshan said, "I want to know why you arrested me. The Ghost King's excuse is ridiculous."
The King of Hell and the others exchanged a glance, then said, "Well, to tell you the truth, you look a lot like the man wanted by the Buddhist sect with a bounty on his head."
Taoist Hanshan suddenly realized.
It is true.
It turned out that it was really the Buddhists who were wanted for him, but he didn't expect that the people in the underworld were willing to be the running dogs of Buddhism.
Taoist Hanshan said, "Since it was the Buddhist sect that arrested me, why didn't you hand me over to the Buddhist sect?"
The King of Hell said, "I am not a lackey of the Buddhist sect. I caught you only to know what you have done wrong and why the Buddhist sect wants to arrest you."
Taoist Hanshan was also stunned and said, "You don't know? If you don't know, why are you arresting me?"
The King of Hell said, "The reward offered by the Buddhist sect is too generous. Moreover, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is in the underworld. Since they have asked, we must do as they say."
Taoist Hanshan said angrily, "Aren't you afraid that I will come and cause chaos in the underworld like Sun Wukong did by doing this?"
The King of Hell said, "You are only at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, you can't cause any trouble. As for Sun Wukong, he has a backer, and I am just playing a trick with him."
Many ghost officials laughed heartily, looking very confident and calm.
Taoist Hanshan nodded slightly, then looked at them and said, "Indeed, your Lord Yama should be a Daluo Jinxian. The judge and the chief clerk should both be Taiyi Jinxian. The Bull Demon Horse Face and the Black and White Impermanence are also ordinary Taiyi Jinxian."
"Given your strength, Sun Wukong certainly didn't get any good results back then. But he still caused a big disturbance in the underworld. That's really good acting."
The King of Hell said, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me your master. If you are a capable person, I may consider letting you go."
"After all, this king doesn't want to offend someone extraordinary. If your master is just average, then don't blame this king for handing you over to Buddhism."
Taoist Hanshan was silent for a moment, then said, "You don't want to ask about my master and then let me go, but you want to know if I have any connection with the sand and dust in the Flowing Sand River, right?!"
The expressions of Yan Wang and others changed slightly, and their eyes were shocked.
They didn't expect that their tricks would be seen through by Taoist Hanshan.
Taoist Hanshan sneered, "Because I converted Jin Chanzi to Buddhism and turned to Taoism, the Buddhist sect is pursuing me relentlessly."
"Then he wanted to plot against Shachen of Liusha River, so he tried every possible way to shift all the blame onto him. Haha, you wishful thinking. I didn't learn from Shachen of Liusha River, but I'm self-taught."
The King of Hell was furious and said, "How dare you! How can you be so self-taught?"
Taoist Hanshan said: "It is normal to have a fortuitous encounter, obtain an ancient inheritance, and then become a self-taught talent."
The King of Hell sneered, "You're self-taught? Okay, so you want to work less for ten thousand years?"
Taoist Hanshan frowned and said tentatively, "If possible, everyone would like to struggle less."
Then.
The King of Hell took out the Book of Life and Death and crossed out ten thousand years of Taoist Hanshan's life.
Taoist Hanshan suddenly felt as if something was missing from his body, and he was filled with both shock and anger.
"You are abusing your power. Kill me if you can."
The King of Hell said, "Don't worry, I will. I will push him to the Samsara Platform, but before that, I will push him to the Naihe Bridge in the Forgotten River."
Taoist Hanshan struggled angrily, but when he lowered his head, a gleam of success shone in his eyes.
Liusha River, Shachen has already known about this.
His face was somewhat gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "The Netherworld is bullying me, isn't it?"
