Volume 1: Journey to the West Chapter 43: Earth Tiger King Gai Tianwang and River Monsters Suppressing the Pagoda (Part 1)

Princess Iron Fan still refused to give in and insisted that the old bull beat up Zhu Ganglie to vent her anger. The Nine-Headed Insect and others tried to persuade her. Princess Wansheng smiled and said, "What's wrong with having three daughters? When they are a few years old, they can be engaged to my son Fenglong."

Red Boy also said, "Mother, with three more sisters, the house will be more lively. With the four of us honoring you, you won't feel depressed."

Princess Iron Fan thought about it. Bull Demon King was not at home all year round, and Red Boy moved to Huoyun Cave. Her life was indeed a bit miserable. Now that she had three daughters, she could raise and educate them carefully, which was also a family happiness. When she thought of this, her face lightened up a little. Without looking at Zhu Ganglie, she smiled to everyone, "You are all great sages. Can you help me name my three daughters?"

The Nine-Headed Insect pondered for a moment and shouted, "Sister-in-law, I have a good name. The eldest sister is called Niu Da, the second sister is called Niu Er, and the youngest sister is called Niu Xiao. What do you think?"

Princess Wansheng twisted his armpit flesh three or four times and smiled at Princess Tieshan, "Sister, don't blame me. My little Jiu looks elegant and coquettish, but in fact, she has never been to school since she was a child. Don't take it seriously. Let's go in and talk. Don't stand outside, so as not to be laughed at."

Princess Tieshan was reserved for a while, followed everyone into the Water Moon Cave, and saw that the scenery was three points better than that on the shore. She was happy and whispered to the Bull Demon King, "When can we also buy such a house? What do you think?"

The Bull Demon King smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, you don't know that it takes a billion taels of wealth to build such a water palace. Our family has been spending lavishly over the years, so where can we get extra money?"

Zhu Ganglie was sharp-eared and laughed when he heard this: "Brother and sister-in-law, if you don't mind, I will build a separate palace for you two under the water, next to Brother Nine, so that the two families can get close to each other. How about it?"

The Nine-headed Insect clapped his hands and laughed, "The owner is still generous! Old brother, you don't have to refuse. His family is rich, and even a hair pulled out is thicker than our thighs!"

The Bull Demon King felt more and more sorry for Old Zhu, and apologized repeatedly. Zhu Ganglie smiled and said, "We are all brothers, why are you polite? If you feel sorry for me, wait until your daughter grows up and take me in as a cheap son-in-law!" After hearing this, the Bull Demon King was about to punch him again, and everyone laughed.

In fact, Zhu Ba Laozu also had his own plans. He was worried that Guanyin Bodhisattva would come to wipe out the Liusha River water tribe for the sake of the Journey to the West. The strength of Guanyin Bodhisattva is probably at the peak of Taiyi Zhenxian, which is a bit stronger than that of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. In addition, there are many Buddhist disciples in Luojia Mountain. Although Shuiyuedongtian is powerful, there are only a few elites. With the joining of the Bull Demon King and his wife and the Nine-headed Insect and his wife, even if Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to take action, he has to think twice.

Zhu Ganglie handed over the construction of Beppu to his men and tried to make it as magnificent as possible. Those monsters were also smart. They invited the master of architecture and the master of carving from Qingping Kingdom, and gave each of them a water-repellent bead as a reward, drew sketches, instructed the construction, and began to build the underwater cave.

Zhu Ganglie and other old demons set up the anti-five elements, eight trigrams and nine palaces formation in Shuiyuedongtian, turning the world upside down, trying to forcibly destroy the 33-story exquisite golden tower and the Zhenbao Zhenling imprint in the magic mirror.

On the thousand-acre Dongtian Square, there were 365 successful monsters in eight groups, occupying the eight directions of Qianjiu, Kunyi, Xuner, Duier, Genlier, Zhenba, Lisan, Kanqi, and the center was five, leaving five empty positions.

In front of each group of monster soldiers stood a big flag, called the Beidou Zao Diao Flag. This Beidou Zao Diao Flag was made by Sha Wujing and Xionggui Laozu, who killed many water monster kings, and was refined with their souls. It was assigned to the eight water monster generals to guard Shuiyue Dongtian, and it was extremely powerful.

There were eight Beidou Zao Diao Flags, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. Together with the North Star Zao Diao Flag, it was the number of the Eight Diagrams. As long as it was waved slightly, it could trigger the eight natural forces of heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain, and marsh.

The central position belongs to the five elements. The backlash of the true spirit in the magic weapon has had the greatest impact on the five elements. These five positions are naturally controlled by Zhu Ganglie, Sha Wujing, Xiong Kui Laozu, Jiu Tou Chong, and Niu Mowang.

In front of the five people, there are several acres of open space as the center of the formation. Zhu Ganglie released the exquisite golden pagoda from the square tripod. As soon as the pagoda left the square tripod, it shone brightly, like a living thing, and wanted to fly straight to the thirty-three days of Lihen Realm!

Zhu Ganglie and Niu Mowang shouted in unison, each showing the magical power of the law of heaven and earth, transforming into a fifty-foot giant, and pressing down with five big hands, the exquisite golden pagoda fell into the center of the formation with a bang.

The 2,920 monsters on the periphery also shouted in unison, spitting out the demon pills they cultivated, and the Shuiyuedongtian Square was suddenly filled with demon fog, and nearly 3,000 demon pills in the demon fog emitted colorful rays of light. All the demons spit out their true essence and sprayed it on the demon pill. The demon pill emitted a colorful light and injected it into the Beidou Zao Diao Flag.

The Beidou Zao Diao Flag received the magic power of many demons, and it swelled up with a crackling sound. It was as big as a city wall. The flag was surrounded by black air, and the demons' souls emerged one by one. They opened their mouths and roared, and each of them sprayed out a thick black gas several meters thick, which rolled up in the air and buckled the golden pagoda like a chain.

The golden pagoda crackled and exploded, and the true spirit imprint left by the pagoda-holding Li Tianwang in the 33-story exquisite golden pagoda was immediately removed!

Zhu Ganglie shouted: "Don't relax, there is another layer of true spirit in the pagoda!" As soon as the voice fell, a Buddhist treasure relic appeared on each floor of the 33-story exquisite pagoda, like a crystal ball, with a moving luster.

Even though the eight thick black demonic energy chains gathered the power of nearly three thousand well-cultivated demons, they were still unable to do anything to the thirty-three relics. These relics emitted a warm light, which was not strong, and burned and dispersed the demonic energy.

Zhu Ganglie and the other five suddenly shook their arms, and the golden pagoda under their hands sent a strong force, which almost suppressed the five people's hands and flew out of Shuiyue Cave!

The original owner's true spirit in this tower is more than a thousand times stronger than Li Tianwang's true spirit!

Sha Wujing was shocked and said, "Brother, who is the real owner of this pagoda? How can he be so powerful?"

"There are very few people in Lingshan in the West who have such magical powers. The original owner of this pagoda is the ancient Buddha Dipankara, who is second only to the Tathagata Buddha!"

Everyone was shocked. How great is the ancient Buddha Dipankara? He is even more senior than Maitreya Buddha. When Zhunti Taoist left the Western religion and established Buddhism, he was reincarnated as Sakyamuni. It was the ancient Buddha Dipankara who saved him and returned to the true nature.

Seeing that Xiong Kui, Sha Wujing and the others were all timid, Zhu Ganglie said angrily: "Stop being so fussy and acting like a child. We have already offended Lingshan. If we don't take his magic weapon now, they will use it to take us down in the future!"

Bull Demon King also shouted: "That's right. We, the demons of Xi Niu Hezhou, are the biggest trouble for Lingshan in the West. Now they are building Lingshan and have no time to get rid of us. When they have time, we will be extinct soon!"

After all, Sha Wujing had been an immortal official in the heaven in his previous life. He still didn't want to offend Lingshan completely. He slowed down his hands. Zhu Ganglie shouted: "Second brother, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer from the chaos! If you want to go to Lingshan, go now. You and I will be brothers from now on!"

Sha Wujing was startled and shouted: "What are you talking about, brother? We have kowtowed and burned incense. Of course, we must live and die together!" He no longer hesitated and suppressed the thirty-three relics.

"Quick battle, quick decision!" The Bull Demon King shouted: "Princess, Holy Infant, you come here immediately and occupy the two positions of Qiankun. Patriarch Zhu Ba and I will escape into the tower and kill the true spirit of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng!"
