I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West

Shi Zheng has developed a good work and rest routine. After getting up every morning, he will walk around his field first, which is considered to be an inspection of his property.

After taking a nap, fly around your own territory, which is the top of Hengyuan Mountain, which is considered a king patrolling the mountain.

Ever since they planted rice and raised fish by themselves, and exchanged all kinds of daily necessities from the bottom of the mountain, they obviously felt that the ecology of Hengyuan Mountain had recovered, and gradually they could see small animals infesting, unlike before, they were sitting on the mountain and eating on the top of the mountain. Species go extinct.

Shi Zheng couldn't help thinking, a monster hole has such a great destructive power, so what do other monsters live on?

He feels that all the monsters in Journey to the West are quite wealthy, with wine, meat and fruits to eat.

At noon, Shi Zheng took a nap as usual, and now everyone has figured out his schedule, basically no one is making noise at this time.

After all, the king's getting up angry is not a joke, especially when he is woken up after a nap, even if he advertises that he doesn't eat people, if he gets angry, a slap can turn people into pulp.

Suddenly, Egret heard a discordant noise, like a musical instrument playing, hammering gongs and drums getting closer.

He flew up to the sky and saw a festively dressed guard of honor coming up the mountain road. Those in the front row were beating gongs and drums, those in the back were blowing trumpets, and there were women crying from time to time.

What is this for?Welcoming relatives and getting married?

But as far as Bailu knew, this wave of monsters lived on this mountain, plus working humans.

Lost?

Thinking of this, he turned into a human form, landed on the ground, saw the opportunity, and walked out from behind a tree, pretending to know nothing, asking: "Guys, where are you going?"

Everyone was nervous at first, but when they suddenly saw someone appearing, they were also very nervous, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Me, I came here to visit relatives from other places. I took a shortcut and came here. I think this place is very desolate. Is there any other family on this mountain? I think you two seem to be married."

"It's from outside, no wonder you don't know about it." A rich gentleman sighed, "We're not married, and it has nothing to do with you. Get out of the way."

At this time, the woman in the sedan chair opened the curtain, stretched out her hand and shouted: "Help me, they are going to give me to the monsters on this mountain."

After shouting, the woman next to her covered her mouth and stuffed her back into the sedan chair.

Egret is confused, what is this all about, it's so good, why send a woman to their king?

Thinking of how stingy his king was, he thought to himself, it would be better to give him a few laborers to farm the land to win his favor than to give him a woman.

Bai Lujing saw that these people did not reveal the inside story, so he had to stand aside and let them pass.

It wasn't until the end of the line that some people whispered to him: "You don't know, a few days ago, the king on the mountain went to the city to extort women, and if he didn't pay, it would be detrimental to the city. That's why I came to pay tribute today, alas—— "

Egret was taken aback for a moment, the king blackmailed him?How is it possible, there must be a misunderstanding here.

He waited for everyone to pass by, and while they were not paying attention, he turned into an egret and returned to the entrance of Wangxia Cave as quickly as possible.

At this time, the jackals, tigers, leopards, and the four monsters had already vaguely heard the sound of the drums. Seeing the egret came back, they all asked, "What's going on? If this noise continues, the king should wake up."

"A group of people came, I asked, and they said they were paying tribute to the King." Bai Lujing said: "They are serious, there must be some misunderstanding. Who will inform the King?"

"Your Majesty sleeps until he wakes up naturally, who dares to go? Anyway, I won't go." Gray Wolf Spirit was the first to wave his hand, refusing.

The five monsters looked at each other, deeply feeling that such a dangerous activity cannot deceive the monsters themselves, but human beings if they want to be deceived.

He looked at Yuan Chiyu in a tacit understanding. This guy was the last to come. In terms of qualifications, he was the least senior, so he was the only one.

The jackal spirit first walked up to Yuan Chiyu under the shade of the tree, "A group of people came down from the mountain and said they were paying tribute to the king. Go in and tell the king."

"But isn't Your Majesty sleeping?"

The jackal grinned, showing its sharp canine teeth, "That's why I asked you to go."

My colleagues are beasts, in every sense of the word.Yuan Chiyu walked towards the cave helplessly, and came to the king's bedroom, and saw him lying on his side on the bed, fast asleep, with a peaceful face.

I remembered what he said before: "I'm super fierce!"

But his current appearance is obviously like an ordinary young man, and he has nothing to do with fierceness.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Yuan Chiyu called softly twice, "A group of people came down from the mountain."

But the other party was sleeping soundly and didn't respond at all.

Yuan Chiyu continued to call him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the other party wrinkled his nose, hummed twice, turned over, covered his ears with his hands, and continued to sleep, Yuan Chiyu had no choice but to step forward and shouted a few more times, but there was still no response, forcing him to get closer. Some called him, "King!"

Immediately there was an effect, and the king suddenly turned around, his eyes widened, and he grabbed his skirt with a look of anger.

Shi Zheng wakes up full of energy, the kind that can explode, but seeing that it is Yuan Chiyu, as a "high-quality" human being who can provide him with magic weapons, he still has a little tolerance for him.

Shi Zheng remembered that there was still a wound on Yuan Chiyu's shoulder that hadn't healed, and it was inconvenient to pull it, so he slowly let go of his lapel, and said as calmly as possible: "What's the matter?"

Yuan Chiyu didn't see the king losing his temper, so he asked puzzledly: "Aren't you angry with me?"

Just ask if you are angry?Shi Zheng said with a sullen face, "Do you want me to be angry?"

"do not wish."

Shi Zheng didn't want to dwell on this anymore, "What's the matter?"

"A group of people came down from the mountain, as if they came to pay tribute."

Shi Zheng's sleep was disturbed, and he said depressedly: "What kind of confession will you enter? Besides, won't you come at another time if you have something to do?!"

He was sleeping in his own cave, so naturally he didn't have any precautions, if he was sleeping elsewhere, he wouldn't be able to sleep so deeply.

However, having said that, under the framework of this world, the monsters sleep really dead, and several monsters were stolen by Monkey King while they were sleeping.

He was no exception, sleeping sweetly and deeply, and the quality of his sleep was top-notch.

Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

At this time, he also heard the faint sound of drum music in the distance. As he walked out of the cave, he wondered, what sort of offerings did the people in the county town under the mountain make for him?

He should have no sense of existence, how did they know about him?

As soon as Shi Zheng came out of the cave, both monsters and humans gathered around, discussing what happened.

Some human beings became alive again.

Did the people coming down from the mountain come to save themselves?

Egret has long regarded himself as a housekeeper, how could he be left behind at this time, "My lord, what should I do?"

"Do as usual and see what this group of people are going to do."

"Okay, Your Majesty, you go back to the cave first, and when the person arrives, we will lead him into the cave for you to interrogate." Bai Lujing persuaded.

Shi Zheng said, "No need, I'll wait for them here."

"It's more dignified to go into the cave and ask questions." Egret reiterated.

Immediately, Shi Zheng's mind came up with the scene of the king sitting on the tiger-skin chair and the little monsters standing on the left and right.

"Could it be that this king has no majesty?"

Anyone who dared to say no, they all responded, "Yes, of course."

"However, it's not bad to talk about pomp." Shi Zheng waved his hand, "Let's go back to the cave."

—

Shao Yongnian finally came to the entrance of Wangxia Cave out of breath. Others supported him, but they were also out of breath, "Master, this is the place, we're here."

Shao Yongnian felt that his calves were cramping, and he didn't know whether he was tired from walking or was scared by meeting monsters.

However, there are fields and water in front of you, rice seedlings swaying in the wind, with green mountains and white clouds, which is quite a bit of a paradise.

It's like living with immortals, not like a lair of monsters.

"Did you come to the wrong place?" Shao Yongnian asked left and right just to be on the safe side.

"That's right, it's here, Wangxia Cave in Hengyuan Mountain." A wealthy gentry next to him pointed forward, "Someone is coming."

I saw a white-clothed man whom I had just met walking towards them and made a gesture of invitation, "Follow me."

When everyone saw the man in white who had been left behind by them before, but now appeared in front of them, he thought he was a monster, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense, "Please lead the way."

The crowd followed behind the man in white without daring to breathe, and entered the cave. As soon as they entered the spacious hall, there was a chair high up on it, and a young man with blond hair and golden eyes was sitting on it. What a handsome man, comparable to the living Pan An.

And those standing around him, regardless of their age, are all humanoid, and there are no monsters.

The blond man asked coldly: "Who are you? Why did you come to my Wangxia Cave?"

Shao Yongnian saw that these people, no matter they were handsome or rough-looking, didn't look like monsters, so they didn't feel so nervous. The Immortal Sovereign raised his hands high and let our county live."

Although I know that there are monsters living in the cave, I have to respectfully call him a fairy, and calling him a monster in front of monsters, I'm afraid I don't want to be an appetizer.

Shi Zheng was puzzled and said: "Looking at you, you don't even know me, why did you give me these things?"

"Eh?" Shao Yongnian was stunned, "We all acted according to your orders. You came to the county three days ago to block out the sun, fly sand and move stones, and asked us to present a young woman to Wangxia Cave on the first day of every month..."

Shi Zheng immediately realized that he had been deceived, and someone was using his banner to commit crimes and ruin his reputation.

And his enemy in this world, counting and counting, is only one.

Tan Gaoxuan, you old bastard, you are despicable enough.

At this time, a wealthy gentleman suddenly saw Feng Xiwen standing beside him, "Isn't this Yuanwai? It's Yuanwai Feng, oh, it's Yuanwai Feng, why are you here? Hey, don't hide your face with your sleeves, it's you Come on, tell me it’s easy to find, I can’t find anyone at the banquet, so it’s here.”

In fact, Feng Xiwen has long recognized that many wealthy gentry on the opposite side are acquaintances, and they have contacts in the business field.

But he didn't want to recognize each other, the main reason was to embarrass himself, stealing the rice seedlings and fish fry of other people's monsters failed, and being detained as a coolie was really not beautiful.

Feng Xiwen was recognized, so he could only bite the bullet and pretend to laugh lightly a few times, then hesitated and said: "...Leave me alone, is there a misunderstanding? I see, the farm is lush, the trees are luxuriant, and it is peaceful and clear, how could they blackmail the girl against you."

At this time, Shi Zheng looked at the fat cattle and sheep pulled by the group of people, and couldn't help recalling how delicious the roast lamb was. It would be a lie to say that it was not greedy, and You Qi had it all delivered to his door, so he couldn't bear to ask them to pull it back.

Furthermore, the people in the city have already misunderstood him, and the stigma has been recited. This will say that he did not do it, and I am afraid that no one will understand.

Make a mistake, Shi Zheng followed Feng Xiwen's words and said, "That's right, as the owner of Wangxia Cave, I am dedicated to goodness. I raise fish in the mountains and sell them in restaurants in the city, so that the people in the county can eat them." Fish, keep fit. How are you guys? It’s abominable that something happened and you misunderstood my intentions. That’s why I turned into a black cloud to test your sincerity.”

Shao Yongnian thought of the delicious fish soup from Juxiangzhai, and he really felt refreshed after eating it, "It turned out that it was given by the fairy, and we are blind to gold and jade. However, this county is really wronged. Yes, there is an old man It is said that there is something wrong with the fish. According to the county, the old Taoist is the one who caused the crime. But he just passed by and has already left. The immortal king must not punish the people."

Especially don't punish him.

"I was angry at first, but you have come here today with your bonus watch, cattle and sheep sacrificed, which has proved to me your awe. I don't care about the previous things."

So far, Shi Zheng has solved a doubt, which is what other monsters live on.

Many of them should be living on the worship of the nearby people.

As long as you don't act like a demon, it's enough to make people pay tribute.

Hearing that the king had forgiven them, Shao Yongnian was very grateful, "Thank you Xianjun. From now on, on the first day of every month, I will make the offerings on time."

Shi Zheng originally planned to let Shao Yongnian and the others go down the mountain after accepting the tribute.

As a result, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Feng Xiwen's eyes yearning for freedom.

This reminded Shi Zheng that since he had reached an agreement with the county magistrate, there was no need to look far away, and the fish could still be sold into the city.

Since the contract with Juxiangzhai was terminated by them, Shi Zheng didn't want to sell it to them anymore.

Now there is a suitable candidate.

"Mr. Feng, you have learned everything you need to learn here, and go down the mountain with them later."

Faced with the sudden pardon, Feng Xiwen almost thought he was hallucinating, and asked in disbelief, "Really? Can I leave?" It was like a dream.

Shi Zheng nodded lightly.

Although Shao Yongnian didn't know what kind of situation he was facing when he was detained here, he knew it was not easy from the way Feng Xiwen almost burst into tears.

Therefore, each of them wanted to leave quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams, "Then, that Xiaoke will not disturb the fairy. Farewell, farewell." After finishing speaking, he bowed his waist and slowly stepped back.

Feng Xiwen hurriedly lined up behind Shao Yongnian and followed outside.

Suddenly at this moment, the king said: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone was afraid of unexpected problems, sweating in their hearts, but there were smiles on their faces. Although they were stiff, they were still laughing, at least they weren't crying.

"Bring the woman back in the sedan chair, and don't send any more women here in the future. In addition, Shao Zhi County, if the prisons in the city are tight, there are many vacant places here. Tell me, Feng Yuanwai, isn't that the case?"

Not only Feng Xiwen nodded, but his buddies would nod like their spines would be broken.

They all stared at Feng Xiwen helplessly, as if they were saying, My boss, I followed you back then and was detained here because of a mistake. When you go down the mountain, don't forget about us and redeem us.

Feng Xiwen nodded solemnly, and said with his eyes, don't worry, wait for me, I will definitely persuade the magistrate to redeem you with criminals.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Mr. Feng, if you don't mind, from tomorrow onwards, the fish will be sent to the Pinxian Pavilion you opened."

Feng Xiwen was caught in the first place because he wanted to get these fish, but now the benefits finally fell to him.

Although the process was arduous, the result was good anyway. It can be said that different routes lead to the same goal.

Feng Xiwen couldn't wish for it, "That would be the best!" After finishing speaking, he felt the corners of his eyes moist and lightly brushed them.

This time, Shao Yongnian led everyone out without being stopped again, and a group of people quickly evacuated and went down the mountain.

Meijiao Niang, who had come in a sedan chair before, also got off the sedan chair now, holding up her skirt, and trotting hurriedly.

As soon as Shao Yongnian and the others left, Shi Zheng smiled and said, "Set up the stove, little ones, let's roast the mutton!"

The goblins cheered.

Bai Lu volunteered, "I'll bake!" Looking around at the other four monsters, "You don't have as good a meal as I do."

"You steal it!"

"That was before, dogs saw people as inferior."

"You are the dog, I am the wolf!"

The jackal was unhappy, "Hey, what are you talking about?!" Have you considered his feelings?

Shi Zheng made a final decision, "Toast together!"

Yuan Chiyu raised his hand slowly and asked, "What am I doing?"

Seeing that his face was still pale and lacking any color, Shi Zheng spared him and let him enjoy the VIP treatment, "Go ahead and rest."
