I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West

Seeing that the king locked his neck again and caught a laborer, both the little demon and the robber clapped their hands and cheered.

And Bai Lujing's production and work schedule was quickly arranged, just like Shi Zheng ordered, to plant the seedlings first.

Where did the egret suffer from this, and he is good at flying. Not long after his feet landed in the paddy field, he took the opportunity to turn into a bird and fly.

He didn't even turn his head back, and flapped his wings with all his strength. After flying a long distance, he reckoned that he had already flown to another state capital, then slowed down a little and took a breath.

After a short pause, the king with golden eyes landed in front of him. Without saying a word, he grabbed his collar and said, "Dare to escape? Increase the working hours to three years."

Bai Lujing knew that he had met an opponent, and said sadly and angrily, "How long will I have to work before I run away?"

Shi Zheng replied bluntly, "One year. If you run away again and I catch you, it will increase to five years. Then, if you run away again, I will poach your demon core and drink."

Bailu didn't know what Shi Zheng's true form was, but as a bird, even if he became a master, he was not good at fighting.

If the opponent is a ferocious beast, even if the level of cultivation is the same, the ability is far stronger than him.

According to the opponent's subordinates are wolves, tigers and leopards, there is a high probability that the monster in front of him is also a ferocious beast.

What's more, the opponent's cultivation base should be much higher than his.

Bai Lu knew that he had fallen, and resigned himself to his fate: "Three years is three years!" Compared with his overall life expectancy, it is not long.

If he angered the monster and was taken away from the demon pill, he would have nowhere to cry.

The egret was escorted back to the planting base, and the robbers caught all the fairies flying with wings after seeing them. In the true sense, it was impossible to escape.

One by one completely gave up the thought of running away, and instead wrote the word "正" on the stone wall of the cave to record the day. This trick was taught to them by the king.

Egret is a monster after all. Although it looks weak on the outside, it is still stronger than humans. With his participation, the farming efficiency has been further improved.

As the characters "正" spread out in rows, the days passed by quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the harvest season for the first batch of reclaimed paddy fields. The golden rice seedlings swayed slightly in the wind, accompanied by fat fish jumping out of the water from time to time, all indicating that this would be a bumper harvest.

Harvest, shell, and steam the rice.

A pot of hot rice appeared on the dining table, together with freshly stewed ganoderma lucidum and raw fish soup, a hot and delicious meal was ready.

After all, it was the first harvest feast, so Shi Zheng set up a big table and asked all the monsters and humans to sit together and have dinner together.

"My God, King, this rice is so pure and translucent, it looks like the fish tank that was sold." Ding Da exclaimed. He had never seen such a fine rice, "I don't think the rice eaten by the emperor is as delicious."

At this time, his identity is no longer that of a bandit under the mountain, but a member of Wangxia Farm, tasting the fruits of his labor.

That's natural, the rice grows on the tree demon's wood fertilizer, and is nourished by the fry blessed by the old dragon spirit. Even if it doesn't rank as the best rice in the world, it will always be the second.

Through Shi Zheng's education, the demons have gotten used to using chopsticks.

At this time, Gray Wolf took aim at a piece of fish, and was just about to stuff it into his mouth with his chopsticks. Suddenly he saw Shi Zheng, and quickly put the fish into Shi Zheng's bowl with a smile, "Your Majesty, come here."

Shi Zheng wanted to touch his wolf head and say that you have good eyesight, so he chewed the fish meat carefully under the watchful eyes of everyone and heavy monsters.

The fish is tender and smooth, the meat is wrapped in juice, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. This fragrance is different from the one prepared with seasoning, but the faint sweet fragrance of the fish itself.

Shi Zheng took another sip of the soup, and this soup was even more amazing, as soon as the spoon reached his mouth, he could smell the delicious taste, lingering in his nasal cavity, and when he really took a sip, he could feel the fish soup in all directions The flavor is rich and rich, and after swallowing, the fragrance remains on the lips and teeth, and the taste buds are clamoring for more soup.

"Well, yes, I announce the official start of the first rice and fish harvest banquet at Wangxia Farm."

As soon as the words fell, people and monsters who wanted to taste the fruits of their own labor stretched out their chopsticks one after another, some caught fish meat, some chewed rice, some chewed rice.

It may be due to their own sweat. All the species present felt that the food was so delicious that they wanted to cry.

Bailu even thought tearfully while eating, if he knew that cooked meat tastes better, he would not swallow it raw, and it would be nice to find a place to stew it before eating it.

The result was good, I didn't fully enjoy the deliciousness of the fish, and I was caught for eating raw fish.

The robbers wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, this time they were tears of joy of harvest.

The jackals, tigers, leopards, and the four little demons were immersed in the delicious food one by one, without any deeper thinking, and just ate them.

If you say it forcefully, just a little, my lord is good, it is great to have enough to eat with my lord.

The harvested rice and fish are enough for himself and his subordinates to eat, and the rest is brought down the mountain by leopard spirit and tiger spirit to sell.

Bailu Jing was not happy, and argued hard, "Your Majesty, instead of sending me, you sent two people who grew up like this? Taking a step back, you can transform them into human forms, but they are so stupid, how can you?" Make things happen? Well, it’s useless for you to stare at me, what I’m saying is the truth.”

Shi Zheng raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid you will run away with my fish."

"My lord, you don't trust me."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, I'm so sad when you say that." Bailu pretended to be shocked, but he thought in his heart, alas, it really can't be fooled.

At this time, the king said: "You are so spoiled and spoiled, you can't do hard work, alas, what's the use of raising you, why not..."

Bailu was so scared that he choked. He just wanted to be lazy, and didn't want to be dealt with because it was useless. He immediately said, "No, I can do anything. I'm good at transplanting rice seedlings. If you don't believe me, ask Ding Da and the others."

"Okay." Shi Zheng rolled his eyes at him, "Why don't you do housework instead, cleaning the cave, tidying up daily necessities, and teaching A Jackal and the others the four breathing exercises."

In fact, the last one is the key point. Shi Zheng himself doesn't know how to cultivate, he relies entirely on instinct.

But the little demons below are still waiting for his advice, and if the four little demons cultivate to a higher level, they can be demon generals and help him.

Egret has slender arms and thin legs, and has long been unbearable to bear the hardships of farming. He dreamed of getting rid of the labor, and when he heard that he could change his career, he agreed without even thinking about it. be lazy."

Shi Zheng waved his hand, "Go down, sprinkle some water when sweeping the floor of my room, so as not to stir up dust."

With his sleeves in his hands, Bai Lu was about to step back with a face full of gratitude, when he suddenly asked, "My lord, when can I go down the mountain with them to sell fish?"

"You have to have a major meritorious performance."

During this period of getting along, Bai Lu also got a little understanding of the "big king" monster. Let's say he is fussy, he really doesn't care about many things, and he doesn't abuse his subordinates.

But let's say he is generous, he values ​​rice and fish more than anything else, so it makes sense to only sell them to his cronies.

When he came outside the cave, he saw the leopard spirit and the tiger spirit going down the mountain with their fish baskets on their backs.

Looking at their backs, Bailu muttered, "Major meritorious service? But how can you realize your meritorious service?" After finishing speaking, he squeezed his face hard, "It's all because of this greedy mouth."

In the morning, all the major hotels in the town went to the market to buy goods.

Major hotels generally have their own fixed sources of goods. For example, major hotels generally import high-quality and expensive fresh food.

Among them, Juxiangzhai and Pinxiange belong to the top two of all the hotels in the town. In the past two years, they have been trying to be the best.

Today, the small shopkeeper in charge of purchasing goods from Juxiangzhai entered fresh food. He was about to leave, but saw some fish that he had never seen before at a stall.

Like a carp, but definitely not a carp, the scales shone with a layer of faint colorful light in the sun, which seemed to be some kind of auspiciousness.

Instinctively feel that this is definitely not a vulgar thing, "Where did you get this fish?"

The fish sellers are two men, thick-headed and tiger-brained, and they don't look very smart, "My son cultivated and raised it himself."

"Is it famous? How to sell it?"

"It's called Golden Dragon Fish, and it costs thirty Wen a catty."

"So expensive."

One said: "If you think about it this way, it must be reasonable for me to dare to sell it so expensively. Why don't you buy one and try it."

The other directly questioned, "You don't even have the money to buy it and taste it."

The words are really ugly, but considering the other party's strong physique and not-so-intelligent speech, the little shopkeeper's judgment is that they are two rural fishermen who go to the city to sell goods, and they don't intend to care about it.

And even if it's unpalatable, just relying on this appearance, you don't have to worry about sales, as long as it's not poisonous, you can make money.

As a person who is not short of money to purchase, he said straightforwardly: "I want these two baskets of fish, and I will go back to the store with me first."

What's more, if it's delicious, you can't let other stores take advantage of it.

He has already made up his mind, if it works, he will sign and pledge that the fish cannot be sold to other shops except his.

The two men picked up the fish reel, "When you get to the store, you won't lie to us. For example, catch the fish and drive us out. The ugly thing is first, our son is very powerful. If he bullies us, he will not spare you. .”

It was the little shopkeeper's turn to question, and he said with pity in his eyes: "What have you guys experienced, why are you so guarded?"

—

With a stable buyer, Shi Zheng's cash flow has been greatly improved.

Every time the fish is sold out, the little demons will buy daily necessities and other kinds of food and go up the mountain.

Bailu is responsible for keeping accounts and settling the surplus. Since he never does coolies, he is very careful in everything he does, so he is afraid of falling into the fields again.

Wangxia Farm was initially on the right track, and Shi Zheng also had to make some plans for himself—find a weapon that was handy.

Shi Zheng asked Leopard Jing before, "Do you still remember where I put my weapons?"

"Since I came here, I haven't seen the king have any weapons."

Good guy, it seems that the original lion spirit is a "bare-handed" rebel master, really skilled and bold.

But Shi Zheng couldn't do it, regardless of the sword, gun or halberd, at least he had a weapon. The monsters that appeared in "Journey to the West" didn't have weapons.

Shi Zheng brought some fish to the mountain god of Xichun Mountain, asked him to try something new, and asked where there were weapons.

Of course the best is free.

"Let's rule out the weapons in the world first, the strength can only tickle the monsters." The mountain god analyzed for Shi Zheng, "The best ones are naturally formed when the world was created. The number of such weapons is limited, and they are all available in each country. In the hands of high-ranking gods and Bodhisattvas. The rest must have been built by the Taishang Laojun himself. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to even see one, let alone get one of them.”

Sun Wukong's golden cudgel belongs to the latter category. The Taishang Laojun forged it with nine-turn iron. Later, Dayu borrowed it to suppress the water and left it in the Dragon Palace.

But that was 500 years ago, and even the current Dragon Palace probably doesn't have any good weapons anymore.

Seeing Shi Zheng's disappointed expression, the mountain god comforted him: "Actually, you can also try the third method to see if any big monsters have passed away. You can negotiate with his relatives to see if you can buy one."

Shi Zheng's eyes lit up, "It's also a good idea. I threw it away for food last year, and I had a balance of 800 taels of silver."

"..." The corner of the mountain god's mouth twitched, "If there is no accident, it will take a long time to save."

Shi Zheng was eager to try, "How long does it take according to your judgment?" In three to five years, he still has time to wait.

Matter is not created out of thin air. Some monsters seem to be able to steal gold and silver as soon as they make a move.

Whether it's a god or a human, if you want money, you have to earn it yourself. It's just that the gods rely on human offerings to open an incense temple and make money every day.

"It's almost 100 years. It doesn't matter. With a layman's cultivation, a hundred years is just the blink of an eye."

After the mountain god finished speaking, the layman on the opposite side didn't say a word, but covered his face with one hand, moved his lips, and listened carefully to hear it clearly. What he said seemed to be: "...why am I so poor...the price is so high, what? When you can afford weapons...you have to work hard to make money..."
