I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West

There was flames outside the Nantian Gate, and countless pieces of flaming rubble were scattered on the square outside the gate.

Zeng Tianwang sat on the ground, wiping his sweat with lingering fear, "Fortunately, I reacted quickly and opened the barrier in time!"

Zengchang Tianwang guarded the Nantian Gate as usual, when suddenly he saw a fireball flying towards the Tianmen Gate, he hurriedly recited the formula and opened the barrier.

Although this enchantment can be opened and closed by him, it does not rely on his mana. If it relies on his mana, it cannot stop the flying fireball at all.

The fireball hit the barrier and fell apart, but the shock brought him to the ground in the barrier, and he struggled to sit up after a long time.

The King of Growth saw many gods surrounding him, so he stood up quickly.

"What happened? What happened?"

Facing the inquiries from the gods, Zengchang Tianwang expressed his guess, "I am afraid that the meteorite thrown to the ground by Mr. Huode Xing was beaten back."

When Mr. Huode Xing threw the fireball in the lower realm, he passed the Nantian Gate, and the two of them chatted for a few words.

I feel that the end of Luzhou in Beiju has come.

Unexpectedly, Shi Zheng packed the meteorite and sent it back so soon.

"So, what about Huode Xingjun?" A fairy asked.

Having said that, Zengchang Tianwang remembered, yes, Mr. Huode Xing did not hide in the barrier.

Hurry up to close the barrier, and want to let all the immortals go out of the Nantian Gate to find Huode Xingjun.

But the fire was still burning, and there was a god who was not afraid, and he stepped out of a foot, and was burned back.

"This is the real fire of samadhi!" Even gods can burn it, so they can't act rashly.

"let me--"

When the gods turned their heads, they saw Shui De Xingjun flying over, holding a jade bowl, and splashing it with his hand, a steady stream of water gushed out and poured it on the flames.

Fortunately, the water in the jade bowl was inexhaustible, so the fire was extinguished.

All the gods were looking for Huode Xingjun in the mess after the fire.

"Mr. Huodexing——Mr. Huodexing——"

The immortals shouted loudly in the square, looking for it among the scorched stones and black ash everywhere.

"Help... help..."

The faint cry for help from mosquitoes and flies was keenly captured by Shui De Xingjun. He hurriedly followed the source of the sound and dug out Huode Xing Jun from the gravel. He saw that he was covered in black, with only a pair of white eyes on his entire face. , is particularly obvious.

The gods hurriedly transported Huode Xingjun back to Lingxiao Hall.

Lord Huode Xing explained in a spirited manner: "I saw...the Huoxiao Flame Stone released...suddenly returned. I was afraid that it would crash into the heavenly court, so... I took action to stop it..."

In the end, he was not stopped, the potential energy of the Huo Xiaoyan Stone was beyond his imagination, knocking him into the air, and flew straight towards the Nantian Gate.

And he was hit by the fragments of the fireball that crashed into the barrier of the Nantianmen, and he passed out.

Although the fireball did not crash into the Heavenly Court, the splashing flames caused a big fire in the square outside the Nantian Gate.

If it wasn't for him being the fire god, he might have been burned to death by the fire.

The Jade Emperor closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, get some healing elixir for Lord Huode Xing, and let him go back to rest."

Mr. Huode Xing was helped down.

The gods in Lingxiao Temple all looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to rashly mention countermeasures against the demon kingdom.

Even the Fire Roaring Flame Stone has been fought back, which means that the struggle of the demon kingdom has entered a new stage. It is not a passive solution to the disaster, but a counterattack against the heaven.

At this time, a boy walked into the Lingxiao Hall, bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, "Yuanshi Tianzun sent me to ask what happened."

The Jade Emperor was overjoyed, Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to know what happened, he could figure it out, there was no need to send someone to ask.

He asked the question in the open, because he wanted to get involved in the matter.

"It was Shi Zheng, a monster from the lower realm, who attacked the Heavenly Court with the intention of rebelling against him, and asked Yuanshi Tianzun to preside over the overall situation."

The last time he went to Yuqing Realm to ask Yuanshi Tianzun what he thought of Shi Zheng, Yuanshi Tianzun replied to him: "The Jade Emperor just decides for himself."

Yuanshi Tianzun would not be ignorant of the relationship between Shi Zheng and Lingbao Tianzun. Under such circumstances, he let him let go. It can be seen that Yuanshi Tianzun did not agree with Lingbao Tianzun's approach and acquiesced in the Jade Emperor's punishment of the Yao Kingdom .

That's why he returned to the Lingxiao Palace to continuously bring down natural disasters on the demon kingdom.

Unexpectedly, Shi Zheng was so resistant to setbacks, the drought didn't bother him, and he was beaten back after lowering the Yanshi.

But he finally fought back and dug his own grave.

Finally, Yuanshi Tianzun was alarmed.

The boy said: "I'll go back and tell the Heavenly Venerable what you said."

The boy from Yuqingjing exited the Lingxiao Palace and flew away.

The immortal officials whispered to each other.

"I didn't expect that this demon country is so powerful that it can alarm Yuanshi Tianzun."

"This is considered a major event in Tiangong, Yuanshi Tianzun is about to come forward."

"It doesn't matter if you don't come out. This will set the Nantian Gate on fire. If you leave it alone, you will have to set the Lingxiao Palace on fire."

"The Lingbao Tianzun protects the demon country, so is Sanqing going to fight among himself?"

"Hush—that's impossible."

It's better not to speculate about things between the three Qings.

—

In the palace of Tushita, because of the violent vibration just now, the gourds containing the pills on the shelf fell to the ground one by one, and the round pills rolled around.

After the re-collection was completed, Laojun clicked and found that the numbers did not match.

Don't think about it, it's just the gang of boys picking up the pills who guarded themselves and stole it.

"..." Laojun was helpless, "You guys are good at taking advantage of the fire and stealing the sheep. You have to hide behind the hard work on weekdays."

Anyway, the law does not blame the public, and everyone is very calm.

Especially Jin Tongzi and Yin Tongzi, as veterans in the workplace of the Tushi Palace, they are not afraid at all.

Laojun narrowed his eyes, "Don't think that I dare not demote you all to the lower world!"

Yin Tongzi thought to himself, let's do it quickly and let the old cow burn fire for you to make alchemy, but on the surface, the corners of his eyes and mouth are drooping, looking worried.

Jin Tongzi said cautiously: "Perhaps the shock just now was too strong, and the pill rolled outside the hall and fell to the bottom."

"Yes, Patriarch, what happened just now? Even our Tushita Palace felt the shock."

"Don't change the subject." Laojun has been counting the pills, and before he pours out the empty pills, it is assumed that something caused the Tiangong to vibrate.

These boys simply shut up and kept silent, not even changing the topic.

Seeing that they were all indifferent, Laojun was about to say a few more harsh words when he suddenly froze.

He felt the breath of Yuanshi Tianzun descending from the upper sky, and headed towards the Lingxiao Temple.

He couldn't just sit idly by and say, "Take a good look at the house!" and chased him to Lingxiao Hall.

Yin Tongzi looked at Laojun's back, and said to himself suspiciously, "The patriarch went out in a hurry, is it because of the shock just now?"

But whatever it was, they were safe for now.

He touched the two pills that he had secretly hidden just now, thinking so.

—

Taishang Laojun came to the outside of Lingxiao Hall, just as Taibai Jinxing came out of the hall.

Taibai Jinxing was stunned, saluted the old gentleman respectfully, and took the initiative to explain his whereabouts, "Yuanshi Tianzun came to Lingxiao Palace, Lingbao Tianzun also arrived not long after, and asked me to go to the lower realm to find Shi Zheng to go to the heavenly court for questioning."

Taishang Laojun knew that the Heavenly Court was punishing Shi Zheng recently, and after hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, he immediately understood, "The shock just now was caused by Shi Zheng?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "He threw back the Huodexing Flame Stone that was lowered by the Jade Emperor under the order of the Jade Emperor, and the Nantian Gate was burned black."

"Go down and ask Shi Zheng to come to the Heavenly Palace, will he come?"

"With the prestige of Yuanshi Tianzun, he will come." Taibai Jinxing added, "I want to use this old face to persuade him to go to heaven."

Violence has no future, and peace talks are the only way out.

He thinks so, and he wants Shi Zheng to think so too.

The old gentleman said: "He suspects it is a Hongmen banquet and refuses to go to heaven, how can you convince him?"

"Why did Yuanshi Tianzun hold a Hongmen banquet?" Taibai Jinxing asked back, "I believe Shi Zheng also understands this."

Taishang Laojun nodded, "Then you go and come back quickly."

With that said, he stepped into the Lingxiao Temple.

And Taibai Jinxing flew to Wangxia City in auspicious clouds.

Considering Tianting's recent reputation, he was afraid that he would be treated the same as the Dragon King in the appearance of Ether Platinum Star, so he transformed himself into a black bear spirit, so he dared to fly into Wangxia City.

He flew straight to the palace and landed. Before his feet touched the ground, he was held down by guards rushing from all directions.

A wolf spirit appeared in front of him and shouted: "Where did you come from, a monster, dare to break into the palace?"

Taibai Jinxing had no choice but to show his real body, "I am Taibai Jinxing, I want to see your emperor."

Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, the jackal spirit did not let go of his intentions, and happily said to the other monsters: "We have captured a prisoner from the Heavenly Court! Quickly show it to Your Majesty!"

Anyway, seeing Shi Zheng, Taibai Jinxing didn't bother to struggle, and was pushed all the way to the imperial study.

Shi Zheng is currently writing a basic mathematics textbook, racking his brains to recall the theorems he has learned.

He comforted himself in his heart, remembering well, remembering one more, can make other people feel more of the "bald charm" of mathematics.

At this time, seeing jackals walking in with the fat and puffy Taibai Jinxing, his brows that were already tightly furrowed became even tighter, "Li Xingjun?"

Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng, the main peace faction in the heavenly court.

Taibai Jinxing said: "I..."

Before finishing speaking, Shi Zheng interrupted, "I won't listen, drive him out of Wangxia City."

The Jade Emperor sent him here, not to continue to speak harshly, but to ask him to surrender before a certain date, otherwise even greater disasters would happen.

Or it was Huairou who persuaded him to surrender, such as selling Tianting's face and letting Tianting re-canonize you, and it is fine to submit to Tianting on the surface.

Shi Zheng did not accept these two attitudes.

The jackal was puzzled and said, "Aren't you going to lock him up?"

Shi Zheng said: "Then you guard it and share your rations with him."

The jackal muttered, "Forget it."

Taibai Jinxing hurriedly said: "It is Yuanshi Tianzun who wants to see you. Not the Jade Emperor!"

He also knew that the Jade Emperor's reputation was rotten, so he quickly separated the relationship and lifted Yuanshi Tianzun out.

Shi Zheng raised his eyebrows, which was interesting, "Yuanshi Tianzun?"

This guy belongs to the big guy among the big guys, and his status is higher than Lingbao Tianzun.

He actually wanted to see himself.

Taibai Jinxing nodded frequently, "The old man came out of Yuqingjing and is waiting for you in Lingxiao Palace."

Shi Zheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I'm afraid it will be a Hongmen banquet!"

Taibai Jinxing pulled his neck and said loudly: "How could it be, that is Yuanshi Tianzun! He just wants to talk to you! Besides, Yuan Chiyu is the apprentice of Lingbao Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun will come soon. Sanqing's Isn't reputation enough to make you feel at ease?"

Shi Zheng had experience with the Taishang Laojun, one of the Three Qings. The old man was very insidious. He once used him to break his gourd and threatened him to do things for him.

However, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun is very good.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, he has never been in contact with it, but now is a good opportunity to send it to his door.

"What does he want to talk to me about?"

Taibai Jinxing asked back: "Don't ask him what he wants to talk to you, it should be what you want to talk to him. He is Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, the supreme god between heaven and earth. If he nods and agrees to your request, no one will Dare to trouble you again."

Shi Zheng rested his cheeks and stared at Taibai Jinxing for a while, "Okay, I'll go."

Taibai Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's right, what can't be talked about. You should make a good draft and try to persuade Yuanshi Tianzun to support you in establishing the demon kingdom."

Shi Zheng could tell that what Taibai Jinxing said was more or less for the sake of the Yao Kingdom, "You are a good old man."

Taibai Jinxing couldn't laugh or cry, is this a compliment?

Shi Zheng said: "Go back first, I'll be there later."

"I'll wait for you in the Nantianmen, hurry up."

He wanted to say to wait at the gate of Nantian, but the outside of Nantian gate was burnt to scorched earth, at least he hadn't cleaned it up when he left, so it's better to wait inside the gate.

Shi Zheng told Jackal Jing, "Send Taibai Jinxing out."

Taibai Jinxing politely refused, "No need, I'll go by myself." After speaking, he disappeared in a flash.

"Go and invite the general." Shi Zheng ordered.

Soon, Yuan Chiyu walked in, and Shi Zheng would straight to the point repeat what Taibai Jinxing said just now.

"Then let's go. Just let Heavenly Court know our firm position." Yuan Chiyu said: "I will go with you."

Although listening to Taibai Jinxing, Yuanshi Tianzun only wanted to see Shi Zheng, but who cares what he means, Yuan Chiyu followed if he wanted to.

Shi Zheng smiled and said, "Of course you have to go with me. But this time, should I just keep my substitute to preside over government affairs, or should we both stay?"

The way to put an end to forcing a substitute to write hidden love poems is to leave a real lover for him.

"What do you think?" Yuan Chiyu asked knowingly.

Shi Zheng said: "Last time I kept mine, this time it's yours."

"People will ask where the emperor has gone."

"To be honest, the emperor went to the heaven to negotiate, and the general supervised the country."

Yuan Chiyu smiled slightly, "Just let my double stay? Even if it's a hair, you can't abuse him like this."

"Where did I abuse him?"

Yuan Chiyu hugged Shi Zheng, and whispered in his ear: "No one is with him, isn't it abuse?"

"Well, for the sake of your poor hair." Shi Zheng's face became hot, and he pulled out one of his own hair, and then pulled out Yuan Chiyu's hair with his own hands, and said as if something happened: " You look pretty good, it's just you."

Needless to say, these two hairs are quite a match.

Yuan Chiyu blew on these two hairs, turning them into the appearance of two people, and stayed in Wangxia City as a substitute.

Shi Zheng was still a little worried in his heart, what if he came back from Heaven and found that these two hairs were sleeping under the covers...

However, it's useless to worry, so let's do what you love.

After all, unlike the last time, he was unilaterally afraid of making mistakes. Even if something happened this time, it was the "mistake" of the two of them.

After the two of them got their substitutes, they went to Jiuling Yuansheng and told them that they were going to leave the palace and go to the heaven to negotiate.

"Hongmen Banquet, you can't go!" Jiuling Yuansheng said firmly.

"Yuanshi Tianzun should not be so despicable." Shi Zheng comforted: "Besides, even if it is really a Hongmen Banquet, it may not be able to overshadow us. At worst, we will kill a bloody road and return to the ground."

Jiuling Yuansheng thought for a while, "There is some truth. But you still have to be more careful."

"Yes, don't worry."

Jiuling Yuansheng sent them out, and said: "Say what you have to say, even if the negotiation fails, it's good to scold those gods to relieve their anger."

After sending his nephew and Yuan Chiyu away, Jiuling Yuansheng returned to the palace with his hands behind his back.

—

When Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu arrived in front of the Nantian Gate, they saw a mess, with scorched gravel and debris all over the ground and no one cleaned it up.

Seeing the two of them, Zeng Tianwang swallowed as if facing a formidable enemy, "Sanqing and Jade Emperor are waiting in Lingxiao Palace,"

As soon as Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu appeared in Tiangong, the other gods, no matter they were wandering or doing things, they all automatically moved out of the way.

He looked at the two of them warily, like looking at a big devil.

This is not an exaggeration, the two of them are the most headaches for Tianting now.

The monster, the emperor of the monster, is not the big devil.

Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu walked into the Hall of Lingxiao with their heads held high, and saw three old men sitting next to the Jade Emperor, two of them they recognized as Lingbao Tianzun and Tiantian Laojun, and the remaining ones were naturally Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun has white hair and beard, long eyebrows and long eyes, a nose hanging from the gallbladder, and a square mouth. He has a calm expression, neither joy nor sorrow. He sits there like a statue enshrined in a Taoist temple.

In comparison, Lingbao Tianzun was much more energetic, and even greeted them with a wink.

The atmosphere in Lingxiao Hall was serious, and the immortal officials' eyes were firmly locked on Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu, not daring to relax their vigilance for a moment.

After the Jade Emperor glanced at Sanqing, he said coldly: "It is only said that Shi Zheng went to heaven alone, why did Yuan Chiyu follow?"

Yuan Chiyu said: "Shi Zheng didn't follow your summons to come to Tiangong to report on his duties, but to negotiate. Of course, he can bring a lieutenant!"

The implication is, please realize clearly that Shi Zheng has established himself as the Demon Emperor and is not a subordinate of Heavenly Court.

Shi Zheng also said: "There are hundreds of civil and military officials in this Lingxiao Palace, and I only brought Yuan Chiyu with me, so should I be picked on?"

The Jade Emperor sneered, "I just asked a question casually, and you have refuted so many, it is too impatient."

Shi Zheng said calmly, "If the Heavenly Court can hold its breath, why bother to send disasters one after another and ask us to come to the Heavenly Realm?"

Who is impatient?

Jade Emperor: "..."

Shi Zheng said: "We are here to negotiate, not to accept inquiries from the Heavenly Court. We should prepare seats for us."

The Jade Emperor snorted and said, "Show the seats for the two of you!"

Alright, let you sit down and let Sanqing see your arrogance.

When Tian Ding brought up two chairs, Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu sat down politely.

In the main hall, only the Jade Emperor, Sanqing and them were sitting.

This is not just a matter of two chairs. In the highly hierarchical heaven, who can stand and who can sit is very particular.

Seeing the attitudes of Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu, all the immortal officials secretly shook their heads, saying that Lizi is rampant and lawless.

Looking at Sanqing's expression again, among the three of them, only Lingbao Tianzun opened his eyes, and the other two lowered their eyes slightly, as if they were thinking deeply.

Shi Zheng said in a loud voice: "It is said that the gods have the virtue of good life, why do you want to exterminate the demon country? Droughts, floods, and meteorites have fallen one after another. If we throw the meteorites back, I am afraid that they will continue to harm us. I have no other words this time. I just hope that the Heavenly Court will stop interfering in the affairs of the Demon Kingdom!"

Wu Qu Xingjun saw that the other immortal officials were silent, but someone had to say something, so he gritted his teeth and stood up, "Shi Zheng, you got the cause and effect wrong, it's not that the Heavenly Court wants to interfere in the affairs of the demon kingdom, but that the demon kingdom you established is under attack. Breaking the rules of heaven and earth, the heavens have to set things right."

"Did I destroy?" Shi Zheng asked knowingly, "What did I destroy?"

"You have taught all the Taoist cultivation techniques, regardless of whether they are poor or lowly, or monsters. If everyone practiced, the aura of the world would be exhausted by you!"

"Aha? It's ridiculous! You live in the Heavenly Palace, you don't do production, and you all rely on the lower realm to worship. You have the advantage, and you have a lot of time. Instead of thinking about how to increase the aura of heaven and earth, you blame the ordinary monsters and human races in the lower realm for usurping it. Aura, so you can't enjoy it?!

All things are born in heaven and earth, and since all things are equal, aura is produced by heaven and earth, so it should be used by all things.Since the aura is not produced by your gods, why are you the only ones who can use it?And the monster race and the human race can't use it? "

"This……"

Seeing Wude Xingjun's defeat, Qiu Hongji, who had just been released, jumped out, "It's not that the monster race and the human race can't use it, but I became a fairy through cultivation from the human race.

I think it should be screened, such as impressing the master with sincerity, or paying a certain amount of money, so that the educated will cherish it.Those cultivation techniques were all explored by the sages, and they were all painstaking efforts.It's not without selection, let all monsters learn spells, chew peonies, and ruin the method. "

Shi Zheng snorted and said with a smile: "How to select? Sincerity? Fajin? Don't fool me with the Buddhist saying that "it is difficult to obtain the scriptures in ninety-nine and eighty-one, and those who have gone through untold hardships will cherish the scriptures." Cherish it or not? , isn't it about the quality of what you get?

The so-called 'sincerity', who will set the standard?He is not yet the superior person who teaches the Dharma.

If you are told to wash the toilet for three years, you will not be able to wash it for two and a half years.If you are asked to chop firewood for the sect, you will not be able to cut one less wood.

The sincerity that some people want is just the fear and admiration of the disciples for him.I think this is desecrating the Dharma door.

I just can't understand this set, in my demon country, the entrance threshold is the same, but how far you can go depends on the individual.

Instead of the set of rules you use now, setting the threshold higher than others.People can only cry and beg the master outside the door, and then they are brought into the threshold like alms by the master. "

Qiu Hongji frowned, and rolled his eyes, "The respect is orderly, the master is respected but the apprentice is inferior, what's wrong? Even the master doesn't respect, how can you still respect Taoism?"

"Hahaha, it's ridiculous, fortunately you are still a celestial master. Shouldn't it be 'I respect my master, but I respect Taoism more'?"

Qiu Hongji was speechless. Anyway, he would never step into the demon kingdom after death, so he simply released his satirical skills, "Ha, what you are doing now is really noble."

"According to what you said, what you are doing now is not noble? Well, since you all admit it, I hope you will keep it in mind and remember to correct it."

"you!"

The other immortal officials all booed Qiu Hongji in a low voice, telling him to step down and stop causing trouble.

Wu Qu Xingjun, who was speechless and retreated to the side just now, rested for a while, felt that he had an idea, and jumped out again.

"Also talk about the issue of spiritual energy. It is a fact that there is less and less spiritual energy in the world. It is true that gods grab spiritual energy and live a long life, but the sky has its own rules. Gods abandon love and have no offspring.

But the monster race and the human race are prolific, is this fair to the gods?Haven't you always been fair and fair?Where is the fairness of the gods? "

Shi Zheng frowned, "What do you care about the internal regulations of your gods? If you think it's unfair, don't be a god and join our demon kingdom. I welcome it.

In addition, the Jade Emperor and Sanqing are here. If you think it is unfair, you should resist, speak out in person, and demand rights from them.Or do you dare not and ask me to do it for you? "

The Jade Emperor, who hadn't joined the debate, finally held back and said directly: "Shi Zheng, don't talk like a gun! You know what Wu Qu Xingjun wants to say. He means that the gods paid the price. Similarly, The Yaozu can't act arbitrarily."

Shi Zheng sneered and said, "Do you have to let me expose everything? You don't want offspring and you don't let the monsters practice. It's actually a problem. You are selfish enough to sacrifice everything for yourself.

If the child wants to divide the spiritual energy, no child will be born, and if the monster divides the spiritual energy, the monster will be destroyed.

There is less and less aura now, probably because there are a group of selfish guys like you who are high above the ground all day long, and the world does not want to generate aura to support you!

This world has been made into this state by you, resulting in the scarcity of aura. I can't help but reflect on myself. I am still fighting for a little profit and bloodily suppressing other living beings. How sad and ridiculous!If you continue, it will only make the world mourn, and the spiritual energy will be completely cut off! "

Shi Zheng's voice was deafening, resounding through Lingxiao Hall.
