After the evening meal, the officer also arranged people to tidy three meditation rooms and let them rest. Everyone left. Tung Sahn-zung told his disciples to sleep first. He himself wanted to recite scriptures a while longer. Tung Sahn-zung recited until the third watch of the night, then closed the scroll. He had just gone to sleep when he suddenly heard a sound outside the door, and a gust of wild wind rose. But he was too sleepy and lay on the desk and fell asleep. Though asleep, his mind was still clear. He heard the cold wind “woo-woo” outside the window, and it seemed someone was calling, “Master… Master.”

As soon as Sunn Wuh-kong heard him mention the Bodhisattva of Compassion, his heart softened. He said, “Fine, I won’t hit you first. Speak clearly. Tell the truth—where is Tung Sahn-zung in danger now?”Hearing the question, Juu Baa Jyeh told everything that happened after Sunn Wuh-kong left.When Sunn Wuh-kong finished listening, he was furious. “You really are a fool! When I left, I told you that if some demon caught Master, you should tell the demon that Old Sun is his senior disciple. Why didn’t you say it?”

“She’s not human, Master—she’s a demon here to harm you!”
Tung San-zang said, “A monk should be compassionate. You can’t just hit and kill. How can we fetch scriptures like this? Go back.”
Wuh-kong kowtowed and pleaded. Tung Sahn-zung finally relented: “Fine. I’ll spare you this time. But you may not raise your hand again.”

The Bodhisattva was shocked and scolded: “Sun Wu-kong! How can you kill someone so casually?” Sun Wu-kong replied: “Bodhisattva, that wasn’t an ordinary Daoist. He was a friend of the Black Bear Demon.”The Bodhisattva looked closer and saw the Daoist’s true form—a gray wolf. On the bottom of the plate were four engraved characters: Made by Lingxu.When Sunn Wuh-kong saw these words, his eyes lit up and he immediately had a plan. The Bodhisattva asked: “Tell me your idea.”

In Chinese folk religion and Taoism, the afterlife is not a single paradise or hell, but a vast, complex bureaucratic empire. This is the "Diyu" ， which translates to "Earth Prison" or "Underworld Court." Think of it not just as a place of punishment, but as a massive soul-processing center, a cosmic government office where every soul's life is judged, and its next destination is decided.
