Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

That year, a conceited king set his eyes on a cow owned by an immortal. He tried to steal it but failed and was beaten badly. So he realized where the supreme power was, resolutely gave up the throne, and tried to practice hard to become an immortal.

That year, a Kshatriya king practiced hard for a thousand years and finally became a king immortal, but he found that he had reached the pinnacle of the Kshatriya caste. Above that, there was the mountain of Brahman immortals pressing firmly on his head. This was the peak that only the Brahmin caste could reach, but he was blocked from the door of fate.

That year, Wang Xian, who did not believe in fate, continued to cultivate hard. The karma formed by his unwillingness and determination was so strong that the shackles of fate and righteousness were broken by the flames. Looking at him, even the Emperor Indra would not doubt that he would become a Brahma Immortal, and the strongest among them.

Then, when he becomes the strongest among the Brahma Immortals, will he regain the desire of the Kshatriyas to conquer the world? At this time, the ordinary title of Lord of the Earth should not satisfy him, so will he raise his head and cast his coveted eyes towards the position of Emperor of Heaven?

Indra felt that the throne under his butt was a little uncomfortable.

He found the most beautiful celestial maiden in his heavenly palace. Each celestial maiden was a rare beauty in the world, and this most beautiful celestial maiden was of course the most beautiful woman in the world. When her foot bells rang, even the flowers and plants on the earth could not help but kiss her toes.

"Go to the mortal world and use your beauty to seduce the sage and make him stop his ascetic practice, Menaka!" said Indra.

"Minajia?" Wen Jiao happened to have heard of this name from the Ganpo Immortal not long ago, and another name associated with this name was...

"The immortal who was seduced by her must be the immortal Zhongyou?" Wen Jiao had taken out Huo Linger without knowing when. She was stroking the lion while listening to the story. Both the man and the lion were listening with great interest.

Gossip has been popular among people since ancient times. Even those who have achieved success in spiritual practice cannot resist the attraction of gossip from other successful practitioners.

However, the Reverend Ganpo was proud: "Reverend Vaiśravaṇa is the fiercest lion among the Kshatriyas and the proudest star among the Brahmas. How can he be bewitched by his beauty alone?"

Facts have proved that in addition to her stunning beauty, Minaka also has a brilliant mind. If a man like her only relied on her beauty and singing and dancing, he might not even open his eyes even if she danced to death. So she also called two helpers, the wind god Vayu and the love god Kama.

How does the saying go? We are not afraid of beautiful women with good looks, but we are afraid of beautiful women with culture. It can be seen that Minaga can sit firmly in the first position of the goddess, relying not only on her appearance, but also on her smart brain.

That day, the immortal Zhongyou was still practicing hard. A strong wind came and blew away everything around him, including the leaves and moss that covered his body. He opened his eyes involuntarily and saw a beautiful girl standing not far away. Her clothes and jewelry were instantly blown away by the wind!

Immortal Zhongyou: wtf!

The girl looked at him shyly, her long, thick hair swaying like seaweed. She chased after her clothes with her legs as nimble as a deer, her posture was so beautiful that it was hard to watch.

At the same time, the god of love Kama, who was hiding in the dark, used all his strength to shoot a flower arrow at the immortal, hitting him right in the heart.

The Immortal Friends: ...

He caught up with Minaga, and the delicate and beautiful goddess immediately melted in her arms.

They bonded.

Wen Jiao & Huo Ling'er: ...

Huo Ling'er was stunned: "Even a lion can't stand this kind of battle."

Although she didn't have the tools to commit the crime.

Wen Jiao frowned, looking thoughtful: "So that's how it is, no wonder..."

Having said that, it is naturally impossible to guess that the sage Avalokitesvara and the goddess Minaga are Shakuntala's parents.

A man who was devoted to spiritual practice and had no ambition to dominate the three realms, but his practice was ruined by Indra's suspicion. After the sage friends found out the truth, they did not kill Minaga because of their fleeting romance.

One is just risking her life to loyally carry out the mission of the Emperor of Heaven. She has no feelings for the object of the mission, so naturally she will not have any mother-daughter feelings for the derivative products of this mission.

The child born from this paradoxical relationship is destined to be abandoned by his parents.

Think about it carefully, do you think you should raise this child? Is the child's mother the kind who drugged you into marriage and took away your property?

Do you think you should raise this child? You are on a seduction mission under the orders of your brain-destroying master, and after completing the mission you have to go back to your unit to work as a singer and dancer, and you can't bring any burdens with you?

To be fair, no matter whose position Wen Jiao puts herself in, she will feel suffocated.

It's just a pity for Shakuntala, this life was not something she chose willingly.

"After the two children were born, the magic power of the god of love Kama gradually faded. The sage Vaiśravaṇa woke up and naturally realized Menaka's purpose. He expelled Menaka and her daughter, and Menaka threw the baby girl on the banks of the Manili River and returned to heaven. The baby girl was born extraordinary, and all living things pitied her. Fearing that she would be harmed by wild beasts, a group of Shakuntala birds shielded her with their wings. Later, I picked her up and named her Shakuntala." said the sage Gānva.

He lowered his head and shook it again and again, sighing several times in succession: "You'd better not go looking for trouble with them. The immortal Zhongyou was unlucky and was feared by the Emperor of Heaven. Afterwards, he spent another thousand years of hard training to reach the Brahma Immortal realm. Minaga... is actually pitiful too."

Wen Jiao's frown finally relaxed, and her dark pupils looked at the Ganpo Immortal: "The old immortal seems to admire the Zhongyou Immortal very much?"

Not only did he know the whole story of Shakuntala's life, but he also happened to adopt this abandoned baby. Judging from his tone and expression, he had an unusual fondness for the sage.

If I remember correctly, this person was a genuine Brahmin. From a Brahmin's perspective, he should be doubly hostile to the rebels who are trying to break the caste ceiling, right?

The Ganpo Immortal was also frightened by Wen Jiao. When he glanced at her, she couldn't help but shrink her head again: "Admire? Not really, not really. I just saw his bravery to the extreme... I envy him."

Wen Jiao patted Huo Ling'er's head, turned around and left: "Sister Huo, it's time for us to leave too."

"Now that you have heard the whole story, why do you still want to cause trouble for them?" Ganpo Immortal was anxious.

Forget about Minaga, you may not be able to defeat all your friends!

Wen Jiao said as she walked: "I came here not only to seek justice for Shakuntala. Now that we know the truth, we should naturally find the culprit who caused this evil."

After saying this, he turned into a breeze and disappeared into the desolate forest.

The Ganpo Immortal was stunned for a moment, then stood up with the help of a walking stick. Just as he was about to return to the tree to continue meditating, he heard a panicked noise coming from outside the Jingxiu Forest.

"Is it still impossible for the immortal Ganpo to come out? Xiangcheng, Xiangcheng is about to be conquered by foreign tribes. King Dusyanta sent us for help, and we must ask the immortal to administer justice!"
