Volume 1: Journey to the West Chapter 52: On Pingding Mountain, in the Lotus Cave

Old Zhu thought about it and his eyes turned red. He, the last disciple, was not as rich as the boy who cooked for Taishang Laojun. He took out five magic weapons at a time, all of which were good treasures. Look at yourself, you are so poor, you only have a square tripod, and the heart of the tripod is still in Yuxu Palace. The bricks are made by yourself, the power is so-so, but a little heavy. The mace is modified from the nine-toothed nail palladium, and it is a defective product in Taishang Laojun's furnace. It's a pity that the chrysanthemum-blasting needle, which can still be used at ordinary times, was also snatched away by Randeng!

In terms of property, in this world, besides the Jade Emperor and the Dragon King, Shuiyuedongtian is the richest, but in terms of magic weapons, Shuiyuedongtian has just started, where are there any treasures! Those immortals have lived in the immortal caves for a long time, and a hair is thicker than Lao Zhu's thigh.

Poor!

It is said that a thief who is rich but still calls a poor pig is hiding in the clouds, thinking whether he can get some benefits from the two rich men. The two demon kings, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, have already used magic to capture the mountain gods and land gods, and asked about the boundary of this place. It turned out to be Pingding Mountain. The King of Yinjiao said: "Brother, we don't have a cave in the lower world. We stumbled upon one by chance. I saw that this cave is shaped like a lotus. Why don't we name it Lotus Cave?"

The King of Jinjiao was overjoyed and said: "Brother, you are really talented, so let's call it Lotus Cave! Since we have become kings, we must have subordinates." He ordered the mountain gods and land gods to summon all the demons and ghosts in Pingding Mountain and use magic in public. It was really earth-shaking and capable. These little demons and monsters had never seen such magic. They were all scared and knelt down and said: "King!"

The Jinjiao and Yinjiao laughed loudly, moved into the Lotus Cave Mansion, cleaned it up, and ordered the land gods and mountain gods to serve on the side. The little demons searched for mortals and captured two to taste.

"The master said that golden cicadas cannot be eaten, but it's okay for a mortal to eat a few."

The two kings were drinking in the cave and discussing the plan for the next thirty years. Suddenly, a little demon came over and said, "Report to the king, the Eighth Ancestor Zhu from Liusha River came to pay his respects!"

The Silver Horn King asked, "Is the Eighth Ancestor Zhu famous? If not, let him go!"

"Reply to the king, this Eighth Ancestor Zhu is a hero of our Xiniu Hezhou. He has unparalleled martial arts and has lived in the Shuiyue Cave Heaven of Liusha River for a long time. He is on good terms with the Bull Demon King and the Nine-Headed Prince Consort. If you drive him away, I'm afraid..."

The Golden Horn King was overjoyed and said, "Since he is a hero, please come quickly! Wait, let the two of us go to greet him in person!" After that, he raised his legs and walked out of the cave.

Yinjiao hurriedly followed and said, "Brother, this Zhu Ba Patriarch is very skilled in martial arts, and I'm afraid he has bad intentions. If he wants to rob our cave, what should we do?"

Jinjiao smiled and said, "When I was in the Heavenly Palace, I heard that the demon kings in the lower world were heroes and righteous. How could they rob our cave? Besides, with our martial arts and treasures, can we be afraid of a mere demon from the lower world?"

Yinjiao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He followed Jinjiao to the outside of the cave, but saw a beautiful woman in palace dress standing in front of her cave, holding a pig in her arms and smiling. The Silver Horn King was surprised: "It turns out that the Eighth Ancestor Zhu is actually a beautiful woman. It's hard for her to have such a great reputation. It's really impressive!" The two kings hurriedly went to greet the woman and bowed to her, saying: "The Eighth Ancestor Zhu has come from afar. Please forgive me for not welcoming you!" The piglet in the woman's arms suddenly laughed and said: "Why are you two junior brothers so polite?" Suddenly, a wealthy man came out and landed beside the woman. He smiled and bowed in return. The two kings were surprised. Just as Jinjiao was about to speak, Yinjiao was smart and quickly pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "The ancestor is really a wonderful person. Please come inside to talk."

King Yinjiao led Zhu Ganglie and the other two into the cave, secretly on guard, but King Jinjiao did not have such a plan and said with a smile: "The ancestor just called us junior brothers. Could it be that he also came from heaven?" Yinjiao's face changed, secretly complaining that his brother was quick to speak and revealed his background. He glanced at Zhu Ganglie, but found that he seemed to be indifferent. He heaved a sigh of relief, and told the little demon to serve tea, saying with a smile: "I have just built my home, and I am sorry for not entertaining you well."

Zhu Ganglie took the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "King Jinjiao is indeed discerning. I am indeed from heaven, and we are fellow disciples."

King Jinjiao asked in confusion: "Please forgive my poor eyesight, but may I ask which star god you are? In our Taiqing Heaven, only the lineage of Master Xuandu has been passed down. Among the three generations of disciples, in addition to the two of us, there are also Master's disciples Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, and Xu Jingyang, Sa Shoujian, four heavenly masters, male, female, old, young, rich, noble, poor, humble eight immortals, could it be that you are one of the eight immortals, how did you reincarnate as a demon? "

The Silver Horn King kept winking at him, but the Golden Horn pretended not to see it, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "My brother is too honest, he didn't tell the truth, but he exposed his own family's past completely!"

Zhu Ganglie saw the expressions of the two and laughed: "The Silver Horn King does not need to be suspicious. I am the registered disciple of the young master Xuandu. He was given a volume of Taoist teachings and a nine-turn golden elixir, and then he cultivated the way of immortality, ascended to heaven, and worshipped the Jade Emperor. He was a second-rank official and led 100,000 heavenly soldiers to guard the Milky Way. "

Jinjiao and Yinjiao changed color immediately, stood up and shouted: "I remember you! Could it be that you are the Tianpeng Marshal who got drunk at the Peace Heaven Conference and wanted to sleep with the fairy Chang'e?"

This made Xingxianer laugh secretly. The old ancestor Zhu Ba glared at her fiercely and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the two brothers still remembered my humble name. "

Jinjiao spoke quickly and shouted: "Who doesn't remember you? Since ancient times, no one has dared to openly declare that he wants to sleep with Fairy Chang'e. Although everyone has this intention, they dare not say it. Only the elder brother pursues his true love wholeheartedly. This Your courage and courage are admirable!" After saying that, he praised him.

Zhu Ganglie looked embarrassed and quickly drank tea to cover it up. King Yinjiao also said: "My brother heard that because of the Moon Palace Gate incident, my brother was convicted of the Jade Emperor and was demoted to heaven as a monster. He also lamented that there is a strange man missing in this world. When I saw my brother today, I realized that this hero no matter what No matter what situation you end up in, you still won’t change your true colors!”

After King Yinjiao said that, he glanced at Xing Xian'er again and praised: "You are indeed a hero!"

Lao Zhu was really not sure whether these two guys were praising him or hurting him. He laughed dryly and said, "Did the two worthy brothers come down to earth this time because of Jin Chanzi?"

Jinjiao and Yinjiao looked at each other and laughed in unison: "How can this happen? Brother, don't make any guesses. It's rare for us brothers and sisters to get together. Brother Fool is a landlord, so he should prepare water and wine to entertain brother."

Zhu Ganglie said displeased: "I have already captured the golden cicada. I wanted to share some benefits with the two of you, but you two are dishonest and told me lies! That's all, I won't bother you here. Take your leave!"

After hearing this, King Yinjiao quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "Brother, where are you talking? It's not that we want to hide it from you, but this matter is confidential and cannot be leaked. Sit down, sit down! I'll wait. Brothers must tell each other everything they know."

Zhu Ganglie sat down again and said with a straight face: "If the explanation doesn't make sense, I still have to leave!"

King Yinjiao bowed forward and said with a smile: "This matter begins four hundred and seventy years ago. Sun Monkey was pinned down by the Tathagata at the foot of the mountain. The Jade Emperor entertained all gods and Buddhas at a banquet. My two brothers were waiting beside me. Then I saw that among all the Buddhas, there was only one who was extremely outstanding. He had red lips and white teeth, a fat head and big ears. He made the twenty-eight stars, the thirty-six heavens, and the seventy-two earth demons so greedy that they would salivate. If the Buddha had not been present, , I have already captured him and feasted on him.”

There are three main categories of gods in heaven. One category is from demon gods. The twenty-eight stars, the thirty-six heaven gangs, and the seventy-two earth demons among the Doubu righteous gods are of this type. They like to eat blood and often eat people. The second category of mortals whose hearts are still intact often seek pleasure in the lower realms and marry mortals. These are mostly immortals who ascended from the lower realms. The third category often holds important positions and is responsible for all matters of the Heavenly Palace. They are extremely busy, and Li Jing is among them.

King Jinjiao also smiled and said: "Before my brother went down to the realm, the master told us that this golden cicada is the holy son of the Western religion. He has experienced countless calamities. If a person can eat this skin and flesh, he will live forever, which is comparable to that of the Queen Mother." Pantao and Zhenyuan Daxian just didn't allow us to eat him. He was just worried that my brother would use lies to make money for me, so don't blame me."

"I see." Lao Zhu said with a smile, "I don't allow you to eat this golden cicada, but do you allow you to eat the old one?"

The two old demons looked at each other and said in unison: "Brother, what do you say?"

"This golden cicada was demoted to the Lingshan Mountain and reincarnated in the Middle Earth. He reincarnated for ten lives, just to obtain scriptures from the Western Heaven and seek forgiveness from the Buddha. After all, he has been reincarnated for ten lives at this time. You are not allowed to eat this tenth life. He can eat it in his first nine lives. Brother Yu is not talented, so he captured Jin Chanzi's first nine lives."

King Jinjiao smiled and said: "What you said is hypocritical. If Jin Chanzi has come out in ten lives, his first nine lives must be dead. He has already turned into a pile of skeletons. How can we capture his first nine lives?"
