Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 768 Chapter 767 The real battle is never on the battlefield
It's not that Shi Zhongkui has never tried to enter the underworld to conquer disobedient ministers in recent years.

But before he ordered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to promote accounts and generals, he hadn't sent troops yet, and even the generals hadn't gathered.

Just discuss who to fight and decide on a first plan.

Jia Lan and Judge Cui reported that many ghost kings in the underworld had taken people into hiding.

There is no need to guess that someone must have tipped off the news.

It's not impossible to continue sending troops by force, but Shi Zhongkui didn't need anyone to remind him, he knew that if he attacked a certain ghost king, countless ghost soldiers would appear behind his back.

Once attacked from front to back, or even encircled from all sides, in order to reduce the casualties of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the only option left is to retreat.

And if the army is defeated, it will be difficult to enter the underworld again in the future.

Moreover, even if the blow to Shi Zhongkui's reputation is not fatal, there will be many people who have had objections to him in the future and will jump out to oppose him.

So what Shi Zhongkui wanted was very simple, even though the Buddha had agreed to him before, the Governor's Mansion of Subduing Demons could send troops into the underworld.

But the Buddha agreed, but it doesn't mean that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and those Western sects who have received filial piety in the underworld agreed.

By helping to cover up the scandal of the Western Church and forcing the forces of the Western Church in the underworld to compromise, this is a problem that must be resolved before sending troops.

And just those monsters in Journey to the West are really not enough for Shi Zhongkui to earn millions of points of merit in a short period of time.

The most powerful forces that can be counted are Shituoling, Huaguoshan and Jilei Mountain represented by the Bull Demon King's family.

Huaguoshan has long been in the past tense.

With Sun Wukong turning to the Western religion, Huaguoshan has been considered half-subdued and half-retired. Without sufficient reason, Shi Zhongkui has no legitimate name to fight.

Shituoling has been destroyed once, even if the Buddha will still send green lions, white elephants and rocs to occupy Shituoling again.

But if Shi Zhongkui leads troops to conquer the second time, I believe that among the three of Qingshi, Baixiang and Dapeng, Qingshi and Baixiang will definitely surrender immediately.

Shi Zhongkui was able to make meritorious deeds again, but everyone surrendered, so he couldn't raise the butcher's knife again and kill Shituoling up and down.

Since there is no way to make merit, Shi Zhongkui will not be a bad person.

The Bull Demon King's family had already been surrendered by Shi Zhongkui 500 years ago.

You can't beat your own people, can you?
On the contrary, Laojun's one-horned Si King Qingniujing, the golden horn and silver horn, Maitreya Buddha's boy Huangmei King, and Kui Mulang, also known as the Yellow Robe Monster, also have many subordinates, which are worthy of Shi Zhongkui's concern.

It's just that even monsters have feelings.

If Shi Zhongkui recklessly killed the bull demons under Qingniujing, even if Qingniujing talked a lot, he would definitely hate Shi Zhongkui in his heart.

And even if several forces add up, there are not as many monsters as there are in one Shituoling.

Therefore, if Shi Zhongkui wanted to earn enough merit, he had to focus on the underworld.

And those ghost kings who occupy the mountains as kings in the underworld, although their soldiers and generals are all poor in cultivation.

But the advantage is that there are enough people.

It can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands. It is even heard that the most powerful ghost kings, such as Mangshan Ghost King, Disaster Disaster Ghost King, and Gold Bearing Ghost King, have seven to eighty thousand men instead of one hundred thousand.

This is still a general who serves as a soldier and eats food. If the population within the ruling sphere of influence is added, it is normal to exceed 20.

The old Heishan demon who was exterminated by Shi Zhongkui back then had 10,000+ residents and [-] to [-] generals in his Heishan city.

And apart from the ordinary ghosts who were forcibly taken away, the ghosts willing to live in these rebellious forces are basically ruthless characters who are enough to enter the [-]th level of hell, and even have to go through many layers of hell punishment to redeem their sins.

The cultivation level of these ghosts may not be very high, but their fear and dissatisfaction with the underworld are not fake at all.

After killing them, no one in the underworld can say anything.

As for why some people want to run to be a traitor, it is actually very easy to understand.

Instead of receiving tens of thousands or 10,000+ years of punishment in the [-]th floor of hell, once these ghosts find a chance to escape, they will be willing to serve the rebellion out of fear of those punishments.

Even in special years and months, when the [-]th floor of hell is overcrowded, the underworld faintly tacitly agrees that some of the ghosts will go to those ghost kings.

One is diversion, and the other is that there are actually fights between those ghost kings, and they are consumed by each other, and occasionally they are short of manpower.

The third point is the most important, whether it is a dynasty in the world, heaven or hell, making extra money is something that can never be stopped.

Even when Shi Zhongkui's Subduing Demon Metropolitan Governor's Mansion went down to earth to strangle the rebellious demons, some Taoist priests who turned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for help would honor gold and silver to the heavenly soldiers and generals who descended to earth.

This has almost become an unspoken rule. If Shi Zhongkui wants to take care of this, then the people under him will hate him as the governor.

As long as the bottom line and authority are not involved, sometimes it is rare to be confused is the real great wisdom.

The heavens are like this, and the underworld must be more serious.

Moreover, Buddhism and Taoism competed in the underworld. The Buddha also said in front of many Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Arhats that temples should collect filial piety from believers.

Your Daoism is too strict, which is tantamount to pushing people to the Western religion.

This is a messy account, which cannot be managed or managed.

Since this is the case, it is naturally empty talk to try to wipe out the ghost kings who occupy the mountains as kings in the underworld.

It's like Shi Zhongkui just deliberately led troops to the underworld, and someone tipped off the news.

On the first day of the underworld government decided to conquer a certain ghost king, the ghost king had already received the news the next day, and arranged how to resist the underworld's conquering army, and sent gold and silver to some people.

These are just some disobedient and ignorant ghost kings. Shi Zhongkui absolutely believes that there are many ghost kings in the underworld who are out-of-numbers forces secretly cultivated by Western religion and Taoism.

So he wants to lead troops into the underworld, and it is not enough to deal with those who have vested interests in the Taoist sect. He must persuade the Western religion to minimize the probability of being held back by others.

He even took the opportunity to encircle Shi Zhongkui and the generals of the Governor's Mansion.

The Buddha only hesitated for a moment before agreeing, he knew very well that even if he did not agree, if Shi Zhongkui insisted on making trouble, even the Jade Emperor would not be able to explicitly stop him.

After all, the Jade Emperor personally appointed Shi Zhongkui as the Emperor of Subduing Demons, and announced to the Three Realms that all demons and ghosts that make trouble are under the control of the Metropolitan Government.

With this name, it is equivalent to occupying righteousness. Shi Zhongkui stood still and said hello to Western religion and Taoism first, which is already very restrained and a director.

And even if it slows down the time for Shi Zhongkui to become a quasi-sage, it will only waste tens or hundreds of years of his time.

Not only is it useless, but it is really unwise to offend a person who is destined to become the top fighter in the Three Realms.
