Chapter 290 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who stole the chicken but lost all the rice
Being in the Netherworld and having a grudge against the Two Saints of the West, who else could meet these two conditions besides the legendary Ancestor Styx who has long since disappeared.
A long time ago, a war broke out between the Asura Sect and Buddhism.
As a result, the Asura Sect was defeated, the Asura clan surrendered to Buddhism, and the whereabouts of the leader of the Asura Sect, Patriarch Minghe, were unknown.
If we say that the Fengdu Ghost Emperor is the incarnation of the Ancestor Styx, then everything makes sense. The incarnation of the Second Saint of the West took action against him, which is a typical example of how he wanted to eradicate the roots after discovering the identity of the Fengdu Ghost Emperor.
Don't give Patriarch Styx a chance to appear in this world.
Of course, these are Jiang Chen's guesses. Whether the truth is true or not requires further confirmation in the future.

…………
Since Jiang Xuandu said there was no problem, Jiang Chen had nothing to worry about. He immediately raised his right arm and used his finger as a pen to write two big characters in the air. It was the word "Fengdu" that was branded on the ghost city.
On the tower of the city.
From now on, this ghost city is called Fengdu. It is located in the gap between the yin and yang worlds, where ghosts can live as well as humans. It is a rare place in the world where humans and ghosts live together.
The moment the name of Fengdu Ghost City was decided, a thought flashed through his mind, and soon, Jiang Chen felt a wave of luck coming and blessing him.
At the same time, Jiang Chen also discovered that he had a hint of authority from the Netherworld and could mobilize the surrounding Yin Qi to defend against enemies.
"This is?"
Confused, Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Xuan.
Sure enough, Jiang Xuan had already expected the changes in Jiang Chen. Seeing him look at him, Jiang Chen said seriously: "This is the fate you deserve."
"You have done great work in quelling the ghost chaos, and you have built a ghost city to house wild ghosts from all directions. You are somehow in line with the destiny of the Netherworld. Therefore, when the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu falls, you are qualified to inherit his authority and become the new generation.
Emperor Fengdu."
Obviously, this was all planned by the Jiang family. They wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to help Jiang Chen ascend to power and become the new Ghost Emperor of Fengdu.
Although the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu has fallen, the Underworld Division is still there, and a new Ghost Emperor needs to be elected to take charge of the Underworld Division and govern all ghosts.
After the ghost chaos was put down, all forces set their sights on Ming Si and were ready to swallow this fat piece of meat, and the human race was no exception. And Jiang Chen was the ghost emperor chosen by the human race.
Of course, this is also the reason for Jiang Chen's success. If he had not made such a great contribution, even if the human race wanted to compete for the position of Fengdu Ghost Emperor, they would not choose Jiang Chen.
It can only be said that Jiang Chen was lucky enough to put down the evil ghost chaos one step ahead of everyone else, thus gaining an advantage in the battle for the position of the Ghost Emperor.
After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, Jiang Chen was a little stunned: "Does this mean he has become the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu?"
Jiang Chen is very excited now. If he really wants to become the Fengdu Ghost Emperor, then he will undoubtedly be a big step closer to becoming the Ziwei Emperor.
Isn't this the great Emperor Ziwei who is respected in the immortal world, Buddha in the Buddhist world, and emperor in the ghost world? Sure enough, Jiang Chen's destiny lies with him, and he has the appearance of becoming an emperor.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was a little excited, Jiang Xuan corrected him: "You have the qualifications to become the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu, not you have already become one."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen gradually calmed down and analyzed: "Let me compete for the position of the Fengdu Ghost Emperor. What about the Buddhist sect? If they take such a big risk to kill the Fengdu Ghost Emperor, how can they let it go?"
"Haha!" Jiang Xuan sneered twice and said: "Of course the Buddhist sect is unwilling to let go, but so what? This time, the Buddhist sect has caused a big disaster and has no time to take care of itself. How can it still have the energy to compete for the position of the Ghost Emperor?"
Before Jiang Chen could ask what disaster the Buddhists had caused, Jiang Xuan had already said it to himself: "The masters of Buddhism forced the Fengdu Ghost Emperor to self-destruct, causing the underworld to be in turmoil. The seals of hell and purgatory were loosened at the same time, and he was suppressed in
The demon inside broke through and was killed."
"For this reason, the great masters of the three realms went to the Netherworld one after another to fight against these demons and try to suppress them again. However, the war lasted for several months and there was still no winner, but most of the Netherworld was destroyed."
"You said that Buddhism has the nerve to compete for the position of the Ghost Emperor after making such a big mistake? Not only that, all parties have reached an agreement to jointly put pressure on Lingshan to let them
Pay a huge price."
After listening to Jiang Xuan's explanation, Jiang Chen also understood the Buddha's situation and that he really had too much to take care of himself.
Even though there are two saints standing behind Buddhism, how can it be easy for many top forces in the three realms to join forces? Even the saints have to make concessions, and this time Buddhism will have to bleed a lot.
However, Jiang Chen was very puzzled. Since the two sides had been fighting for several months without a winner, how did Jiang Xuan and the others win in the end?
Curious in his heart, Jiang Chen asked directly: "Ancestor, how did this battle end?"
Jiang Xuan glanced at the direction of the Netherworld and said in a deep voice: "The two sides have been fighting for months, but there is still no result, but the Netherworld is overwhelmed and there are signs of collapse."
"It was at this time that Empress Houtu, who had been in seclusion for many years, was awakened, stepped out of the six realms of reincarnation, suppressed those demonic powers, and put down the turmoil."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xuan seemed to have remembered something, and said with some gloating: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to use a trick to clear out all the evil ghosts in the eighteen levels of hell.
Fulfill your ambition and become a Buddha immediately."
"In fact, he did it. While the seal of the Eighteenth Level of Hell was destroyed, he used his magical power to sweep out all the evil spirits inside."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but marvel at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's methods. He never thought that he could think of this method to fulfill his great wish.
If all the evil spirits in the eighteen levels of hell are driven out, won't the hells be empty? In this way, the great wish of not becoming a Buddha until the hell is empty will be fulfilled, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can successfully achieve this goal.
Buddha.
Although this method is a bit tricky, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been in hell for many years and has already accumulated enough merits, so it doesn't matter if it's a trick.
Theoretically, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's idea is feasible, but judging from Jiang Xuan's gloating expression, it is estimated that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva not only failed to succeed, but also suffered a big loss. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would not have shown such an expression.
Jiang Chen was also curious about the ending of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so he asked cooperatively: "Old Ancestor, what happens next? Has Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva become a Buddha?"
At this time, the smile on Jiang Xuan's face deepened and he said: "At that time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was shrouded in Buddha's light, and three thousand Buddhist kingdoms emerged. Countless believers surrounded him and chanted continuously."
"At that time, we all thought Ksitigarbha had succeeded, and we all praised him in our hearts for his cleverness in coming up with such a way to break the situation."
"I never thought that when Empress Houtu saw this, she slapped him directly. Not only did she shatter the Buddha's light on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, she also slapped him into the depths of hell."
"To say that one's heart is not sincere and to achieve Buddhahood through trickery is to be a false Buddha and will not achieve true results."
"Houtu Empress has such an identity and cultivation. Her words are the best principles, rules, and heavenly decrees. If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is said to be a false Buddha, then he is a false Buddha."
"With these words, the Buddhahood that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had just achieved was directly knocked down, along with thousands of years of cultivation."
"Moreover, Empress Houtu's words cut off the possibility of him taking advantage of the situation."
