Hongmeng, meaning ancient times, legend has it that before Pangu opened the world, the world was a chaotic vitality, this natural vitality is called Hongmeng, so that era is called Hongmeng era.

Therefore, the Hongmeng Tribulation is also known as the Ancient Tribulation, and it is also a legendary catastrophe that can destroy the heavens and the earth.

The infinite power of reincarnation tore the heavens and the earth apart into a space-time rift. In the cracks, the figure of Sun Wukong appeared, only to see him flying in the air, wearing a phoenix winged purple and gold crown, wearing chain gold armor, stepping on lotus silk and walking clouds, the stick weighing 13,500 catties in his hand became infinitely larger, and when he drank hard, a stick smashed into the rushing blood river on the ground, and the fierce divine power smashed the red blood to pieces, splashing everywhere, the earthquake cracked, and the blood soaked into the ground, and the surroundings of Qingqiu were restored to calm.

The gods and the people on the green hill saw Wukong stepping into the air and shaking the blood river back, and the cheers suddenly shook the sky. Tens of thousands of people gathered in Qingqiu, and the momentum was huge. However, only these tens of thousands of people survived in the human world today, and they were fortunate enough to escape to Qingqiu, hiding from the invasion of the Blood River.

"Monkey, you've finally shown up. The gods and goddesses couldn't stop the blood river from attacking, but you smashed the earth with a stick and sent the blood river into the ground. "The one who spoke was Nezha, the third prince who stepped on Hot Wheels and held a Qiankun ring and a red tassel gun.

The monkey laughed and stood on top of the green hill as the gods descended from the sky. At this time, the pure altar messenger with the head of a pig dragged his fat body and resisted the five-foot nail rake from a distance, came to Sun Wukong's side, and said breathlessly: "Brother Monkey, where have you been, I went to Lingshan to look for you, but I found that you were gone, I was really anxious to die." ”

The monkey put away the golden rod and said, "Just now I was in a very dark place, and I don't know where it was, and there I saw a mirror, and in the mirror there appeared the scene of the Three Realms in calamity, and when I was anxious, a divine power came out of the mirror, and it brought me here. Bajie, why aren't they with you, Master, Lao Sha and Little White Dragon?"

Zhu Bajie said: "Now all the Buddhas and all the Bodhisattvas and Arhats have gathered in Lingshan, and when I went to Lingshan, I found that you were not there, and the Buddha asked me to come to Qingqiu to find you." ”

After listening to Zhu Bajie's words, the monkey nodded, then turned around, looked at the gods, and said loudly: "Everyone, why does this blood river intrude the world, and where does it come from?"

At this time, Erlang God Yang Jian walked out of the crowd with a three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, and said to Sun Wukong: "The Buddha and the Jade Emperor both believe that the blood river that appeared this time is related to the Hongmeng Tribulation. How could this river of blood suddenly appear without any warning, and it was menacing, sweeping the entire world in less than a day! Even the Buddha only protected the spiritual mountain in the west and the green hills here. Almost all living beings have suffered, this is a catastrophe that destroys the world and destroys the world!"

Sun Wukong didn't believe in evil, and snorted coldly: "What kind of Hongmeng calamity, this blood river must have a source, as long as the source is found, can't the source be destroyed?"

"Fighting to defeat the Buddha is a mistake, as far as I know, this river of blood is condensed by the blood of mortals. The reason why the river of blood was formed is because today all parts of the world are struck by lightning and thunder, causing mortals to suffer and blood to flow like a river. This matter has nothing to do with the Dragon King of the Four Seas and the Thunder Princess!" The one who spoke was the Sun Wandering God dressed as a prison official, with his hair scattered and holding a wooden card.

"Sun You God, you don't want to slander me!" The Dragon King of the East China Sea retorted sharply, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas and the Thunder Gong Electric Mother retorted angrily to the Sun Wandering God.

"We, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, are only in charge of rain, and lightning and thunder are not under our control. The Dragon King of the South China Sea said.

Lei Gong said angrily: "I, the electric mother and the Feng mother-in-law are only doing thunder and wind in the South China Sea area today, how can we control the whole world?"

"Don't argue, the Jade Emperor has already said that this matter is related to the Hongmeng Tribulation. Don't believe it, monkey, because this calamity cannot be traced back to the source with the ability of you and me, and even if we find the source, we can't control it. Yang Jian's face was grim and majestic, as soon as he spoke, the Dragon King of the Four Seas and the Thunder Mother didn't dare to intervene.

The monkey wondered, "In that case, can the Jade Emperor mention the origin of this Hongmeng Tribulation?"

Taiyi Zhenren stood beside Yang Jian and said: "This Hongmeng catastrophe originated from the ancient Hongmeng era, when the heavens and the earth were not opened, and it was difficult to distinguish the turbidity. There was a monster with mana against the sky who once fought with the god of Pangu, and Pangu was defeated and retreated, and then Hongjun Daozu and Lu Jian Daojun helped to subdue the demon. However, the combined efforts of the ancient gods could not completely destroy the demon, and could only be suppressed temporarily. Then the heaven and earth first opened, Pangu gasified Sanqing, and the demon also broke free from the shackles of the gods, and learned Pangu to incarnate all things, among which the anger it turned into was the source of the Hongmeng Tribulation. Hongjun Daozu once said that during the Hongmeng period, endless demonic qi was born, and the aura that shocked the three worlds of heaven and earth would inevitably form an unprecedented catastrophe in the future generations, and even completely destroy the Three Realms. ”

Hearing what Taiyi Zhenren said, the monkey knew the origin of this Hongmeng catastrophe.

The monkey pondered for a while and said, "As the real person said, although the demon is powerful, the so-called Hongmeng Tribulation is just a manifestation of its anger, and it is not invincible. Now I only have one question, why did the Buddha only keep the place of Qingqiu, and did not protect the living beings in other places, or could the Buddha's power not protect everything?"

Taiyi Zhenren: "The world is vast, how can the Buddha protect all living beings? But there is indeed a reason why the Buddha chose to protect this green hill land. Because this is the place where the gods suppressed the demon back then, the demon escaped from here, and later incarnated into all things, because of his anger, the anger was shocking, and turned into a catastrophe!"

The monkey said lightly: "Since this is the place where the calamity was born, why does the Buddha still protect this place?"

"You monkey is usually smart and cunning, why are you confused now?" Yang Jian laughed at the monkey, and the monkey retorted: "Then do you know the reason?"

Yang Jian sneered and said, "Since this is a place to suppress the demon, there is naturally something that can restrain the demon. If this place is ruined, won't the devil be even more unscrupulous?"

"Well, in this way, my grandson also understands. It seems that I need to take a good look at this green hill and find a treasure that can suppress the demon. The monkey grinned and said to the gods, "Disperse, everyone, I will protect the people here." You all go back to Heaven and return to the Jade Emperor. ”

"I'll say goodbye!"

The gods shouted in unison and flew to the sky at the same time, only Yang Jian remained in Qingqiu.

"Why don't you leave?" the monkey looked at Yang Jian and asked, and Zhu Bajie, who was standing next to the monkey, also had a questioning expression.

Yang Jianhu looked at the monkey suspiciously, and asked rhetorically, "You really don't remember?"

"I don't remember anything, what are you going to say?" the monkey wondered.

Yang Jian said: "What I want to ask is, have you really forgotten how you found that mirror?"
