I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West

Shi Zheng followed King Yu Tamarin to the fragrant juniper tree in Futu Mountain where he lived.

The scenery here is beautiful, with flowers all over the mountains and valleys, and the fragrance is fragrant. Not far away, there is a clear river winding past, like a jasper belt.

There is a black nest in front of the tree, which is a bird's nest built by vegetation.

The difference is that this black nest is the size of a bedroom, more than enough to accommodate King Yu Tamarin and Shi Zheng.

King Yu Tamarin stepped onto Wuchao and sat down first, and said to Shi Zheng, "Don't dawdle, come in and have a seat."

"I'm not dawdling, I just want to ask, should I take off my boots?" I always feel that this bird's nest is a place where King Yu Tamarin meditates and sleeps, so it must be kept clean.

Yu Tamarin really hesitated for a while before saying: "Forget it, no need."

Shi Zheng walked in and sat down cross-legged.After sitting firmly, the crow's nest suddenly soared upwards, and it didn't stop until it was more than a thousand feet above the ground, and it could take a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery below.

Shi Zheng wanted to ask, can you sleep well if you live at such a high level? Anyway, he can't.

King Yu Tamarin raised his hand and swiped in front of the two, and there appeared a tea seat, a set of tea sets, and the tea in the two cups was steaming.

King Yu Tamarin held up a cup first, took a sip of tea with his lips, and let out a long breath, "Oh, I haven't seen you in almost 500 years."

Shi Zheng happened to be thirsty, so he also picked up a glass, and took a sip first, "I have been in touch with my elder brother, and it is you who have been missing."

"I don't see it, it's just that the fate is not there. Now that the fate is here, don't you and I meet again." King Yu Tamarin scratched his cheek with his hand, "By the way, how did you know I'm here?"

"How did I know you were here? It was a coincidence that I saw you today. I had a bit of a grudge with someone, and I ended up fighting. When I met you, I was lamenting that I was not strong enough, and I was thinking about being a teacher to improve, but you just showed up , but also to take that pig as a disciple. Since he didn’t want to, I thought, why don’t I give it a try.”

King Yu Tamarin wondered, "You don't even know who I am, but you want to worship me as your teacher?"

Shi Zheng also didn't know that Zen Master Wuchao was his sworn brother, otherwise he wouldn't have made such an oolong, "The pig demon himself said that he was the disciple of the Buddhist scriptures arranged by Guanyin, so I thought, you dare to arrange with Guanyin. The Buddhist scripture learner must have some skills in robbing apprentices. Who knows, he is an old friend. By the way, why did you accept Zhu Gangli as an apprentice? I don’t think he looks smart.”

King Yu Tamarin took another sip of tea, did not answer the question, but said leisurely: "Do you know who Zhu Ganglu was instructed by the Bodhisattva to be his apprentice, and whose mentor?"

Of course I know, but Shi Zheng has to play dumb, "Who is it?"

"Be the apprentice of Sanzang, the imperial brother of the Tang Dynasty, and the junior of that old stone monkey." Zen Master Wuchao looked at the water pattern in the teacup, "The old stone monkey has made great achievements in learning scriptures. This time, he is destined to get the right result."

The so-called Zhengguo is the establishment of the Xitian forces, enjoying the treatment of immortality.

Shi Zheng knew that the old stone monkey referred to by the other party was Sun Wukong, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? Sun Wukong has such good luck? Unexpected, unimaginable."

Suddenly King Yu Tamarin said angrily in a low voice: "Why?!" But he realized that he had lost his composure in an instant, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile, and said to himself who had violated the precept of anger: "It's a sin, a sin. You know, I have escaped into Buddhism for many years, enlightened and enlightened, I am no longer the old me."

Even if he was a violent devil back then, now he is holding a teacup and quietly discussing Buddhist scriptures as a Zen master.

Shi Zheng could understand King Yu Tamarin's outburst just now, he was also a monkey, and Zen Master Wuchao was born as a monk, and he had read Buddhist classics, so he didn't even have to abandon Taoism and follow Buddhism like Monkey King, and learn from scratch.

King Yu Tamarin looked at the snow-covered plateau in the distance, enjoying the cool wind blowing the fur on his face, "However, Buddhists are all masters of supernatural powers, and they lack the hands of Monkey King who can easily use ten thousand catties of power."

Shi Zheng agrees very much. Indeed, Buddhists usually use magic treasures and supernatural powers, write a word on the palm of their hand, and when they recite the mantra, the opponent will be defeated. There are too few masters like Monkey King who rely on fists, kicks and sticks to kill blood.

Zen Master Wuchao was known as the great sage of exorcising gods back then, but now he is also a master of Buddhism. It seems that he is also a monster who is good at mental attacks, and he is not in the appetite of Buddhism.

Besides, his attainments in Buddhism are high enough to teach Tang Monk the Heart Sutra, so there is no way he can be his apprentice.

King Yu Tamarin said unhurriedly, "Besides, on this trip to the west, all the way to kill demons, Monkey King's hands are destined to be covered with blood." He closed his eyes, as if he had seen a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood: "Killing Too much."

Shi Zheng remembered that when Zen Master Wuchao met Tang Seng in the original book, he predicted that he would subdue the Drifting Monk in front, and that he would also meet the demons and ghosts of Shituoling on the road.

If he didn't have the ability to predict, it was because he had carefully investigated the people who learned the scriptures and the routes for learning the scriptures.

King Yu Tamarin's concern for learning Buddhist scriptures is absolutely extraordinary.

Shi Zheng also took a sip of tea, pretending to be calm and said: "You can't look at it like this. It is a sin to kill a human being, and it is a meritorious deed to kill a monster."

This point, but Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva personally made it clear to Monkey King and Zhu Bajie.That's why the scripture-learning group often doesn't let go of the little monsters under the king's command.

Although the monster is small, it is also the result of merit, and the accumulation of a little makes a lot.

King Yu Tamarin bowed his head to sip his tea and remained silent, only the sound of Shi Zheng's stomach growling echoed in Wuchao.

"..." King Yu Tamarin glanced at Shi Zheng, "I only have vegetarian dim sum here,"

Shi Zheng said: "It's okay." He took the dim sum handed over by King Yu Tamarin and took a bite, "Thank you."

The taste was not to his liking, and only then did Shi Zheng think of Yuan Chiyu who went to give him meat.

Oops, forgot about him.

"Why don't you care about Sun Wukong escorting Monk Tang to the west to learn scriptures? I don't know how you are now, but you must not have a positive result."

If it was the previous lion and camel king, no matter how low-key he was, he heard that Monkey King, Monkey King, had another chance to stand up, and he would get the right result.

And they are destined to be monsters for the rest of their lives, and their hearts must be overwhelmed, and all kinds of things are not good.

But Shi Zheng is not the king of lions and camels, so he was very calm, "It's useless to care about it. Why did the Bodhisattvas not take a fancy to me? Besides, Sun Wukong has been crushed under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, and he has suffered a lot. If I choose, I will lose 500 yuan." I don’t want to achieve the so-called positive results after years of freedom. Besides, it’s another matter whether you can go to Xitian for those who have suffered many hardships along the way.”

"You have reached the point." King Yu Tamarin looked serious, "Do you think Heaven will stop it?"

Shi Zheng shook his head, "I don't know." It must be, many players are already in place, such as Yinjiao Yinjiao.

King Yu Tamarin sighed, "Could it be true that the bigger the original body, the bigger the heart. I heard that the Bull Demon King entertains guests all day long and spends his days in style. Now that I meet you, you are the same."

"That's different." Shi Zheng said, "For example, the Demon King Jiao."

The nine-headed worm is quite big in its original form, but its mind is not as big as the tip of a needle.

Speaking of Jiao Demon King, King Yu Tamarin nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's true."

"By the way, you haven't said yet, why do you want to take Zhu Gangyi as your apprentice?" Shi Zheng asked.

King Yu Tamarin said: "He cannibalizes people, I don't want him to hurt passers-by, but he is appointed by the Bodhisattva as a Buddhist disciple, and I can't hurt him. I can only persuade him to practice with me. Note, it's just practice, not accepting him as an apprentice. only."

"You are so compassionate and worried about human beings."

Sometimes you can understand Tang Seng's tense mentality all the time. Among the apprentices, such as Zhu Gangli and Sha Wujing, before worshiping him as a teacher, they all lived by cannibalism.

What if one night, he was so hungry and weak that he couldn't help eating him, and ran away and continued to be a monster, what would he do.

At this time, King Yu Tamarin suddenly frowned, sniffed the air, and scolded: "Who dares to bring meat to me?!"

After all, the Wuchao rose again, and then countless lotus flowers bloomed around the Wuchao, thousands of clusters, like thousands of miles of red makeup, blooming all over the sky.

Shi Zheng scratched the edge of Wuchao and looked down, "Could it be..."

Seeing the lotus flowers covering the sky and covering the sun seemed to be real, obstructing Shi Zheng's sight and making him unable to see the situation below clearly.

King Yu Tamarin said calmly: "Even if the old stone monkey came to this enchantment, he couldn't touch a vine in my Wuchao. I don't know which monster is provoking again. Let me see clearly." , squinted his eyes and looked down, his face suddenly changed, "Isn't this the one who fought with Zhen Yuanzi just now?"

Shi Zheng was taken aback for a moment, are you saying that you have exposed your secrets?It turns out that you have been nearby all this time, and you didn't come to Yunzhan Cave only after the fight, otherwise how would you know Yuan Chiyu.

In other words, Zhen Yuanzi and Yuan Chiyu fought like hell.How could you, who lived so close and possessed great powers, not notice it.

But I didn't mention a word to him just now, and sure enough, the demon's heart is separated from the belly.

However, he, Shi Zheng, did not confess to King Yu Tamarin, and he kept it hidden.

In the world of mature monsters, twists and turns are too normal.

"I know this person!" Shi Zheng hurriedly said, "It's not a bad person. As for the meaty smell, it might be the smell of the food I asked him to buy. I'm leaving without polluting your clean place."

"Huh?" Yu Tamarin quickly raised his head in surprise, "How is that possible?"

Shi Zheng raised his head and saw that Yuan Chiyu had broken through the lotus barrier and was standing right above them, while the lotus flowers around Wuchao were showing unstable ripples, and they seemed to be about to disappear soon.

"Are you willing to do this?" Yuan Chiyu handed Shi Zheng the lotus leaf package in his arms.

Shi Zheng was confused when he heard that, "What?" He caught a glimpse of King Yu Tamarin's blue face, which was only for golden monkeys, and it was even more blue at this time. He immediately jumped out of the black nest, took the meat wrapped in lotus leaves, and turned to face him King Yu Tamarin said: "I'll go first, see you later."

"...See you by fate." King Yu Tamarin said expressionlessly.

Waiting for the Lion Camel King and the man who came to look for him to fly away from Wuchao.

At this time, the Wuchao rose again, and a golden light slowly fell on the Wuchao in the high sky, and it also turned into a Yu Tamarin King.

The "Yu Tamarin King" who originally met the Lion Camel King trembled all over his body, his height increased suddenly, and his golden-orange fur darkened to brown. He was no longer the marmoset just now, but a big macaque.

"Six-eared macaque! When will you leave?" the real King Yu Tamarin questioned with a bit of anger.

"Don't worry, be careful of violating the precept of anger." The six-eared macaque leaned against the edge of the black nest, and said with a smile: "At any rate, let's make a sworn marriage and borrow your house for a few days. Don't be so stingy."

"What are you planning? Change into my appearance and win over that pig demon several times."

The six-eared macaque is the monkey king who was worshiped by the seven great sages.

King Yu Tamarin saw through the fearless struggle long ago, and hid near the plateau and snow-capped mountains to devote himself to cultivating Buddhism. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Mi Monkey King came to the door and changed into his appearance to win over the pig demon to practice. Today, he also came into contact with the Lion Camel King.

The changes of other people are mostly blindfolds, but the six-eared macaque is different. Whatever he wants to become, as long as he touches it, he can reproduce the opponent 100% without any obstacles.

For example, if he wants to change into a pig mane, he only needs to touch the pig's body, and in an instant, another pig mane that is not bad at all is born, let alone the number of manes. , Guaranteed to be the same.

Even the opponent's supernatural powers can be used.

However, the transformation ability of the six-eared macaque is only limited to monsters, gods and Buddhas in the animal form, and it does not work in the human body.

And he can hear voices thousands of miles away, as long as the other party speaks human language, as long as he thinks, he can hear as many as possible in his ears.

Therefore, when the six-eared macaque found King Yu Tamarin, King Yu Tamarin knew that he was in big trouble.

He really couldn't beat it, couldn't get rid of it, so he could only lend Wuchao to him temporarily according to his instructions.

King Yu Tamarin said earnestly: "I advise you to take care of yourself, and don't make another big mistake."

The six-eared macaque squinted at the opposite golden monkey, "It's also a monkey. Sun Wukong accepted the canonization and became the Monkey King certified by the heavenly court. As for you and me, no matter how loud the title is, it's just for fun. No one recognizes you. There is a fart for learning Buddhism and practicing Zen. Avalokitesvara enlightens the man-eating pig demon and asks him to learn scriptures, and he doesn’t even want you to be close at hand.”

Zen Master Wuchao shook his head helplessly, chanting Amitabha Buddha.

The six-eared macaque snorted: "If you recite the Buddha's name again, you will die when the time comes. Sun Wukong has become a true fruit, but he can live forever. Speaking of the lion and camel king, he is still the same, he only cares about the small interests in front of him, and only wants to be peaceful. Eat, drink and drink. Just now I saw him suddenly appearing nearby. He also has new weapons and improved means. I wanted to lure him into the gang, but after a few tests, he has no interest in learning from the scriptures. Sooner or later, he is also a guy who wants to die .”

King Yu Tamarin said: "Learning the scriptures and achieving positive results is the creation of Monkey King. Others can't learn it."

The six-eared macaque rolled its eyes, "Why can't I learn? I promise to be exactly like him."

However, it is indeed difficult to replace Sun Wukong's identity, and it is far less easy than becoming a pig gangster and mixing in the Buddhist scriptures team.

That's why he wanted to use his identity as Zen master Wuchao to recruit Zhu Gangli, observe him closely for a few days, and imitate his character, so as not to be seen through by the Bodhisattva later.

Who knew that this pig demon didn't pay attention to him at all, only thinking about Gao Cuilan, it's really terrible.

In fact, he has not finalized who to replace in the end. If Zhu Gangli's status in the team is too low to become a Buddha in the end, and Monkey King is more likely to become a Buddha, then he should replace Monkey King.

Of course, he also has a more advanced plan, which is to recruit a few more partners, reproduce Tang Monk, Monkey King and others, and form a replacement Buddhist scriptures group.

The Lion Camel King is considered to be the milder character among the Seven Great Sages, and his conduct is also reliable. He suddenly fell from the sky today, which made the eyes of the six-eared macaque who was short of manpower shine.

But the lazy lion obviously didn't want to do that.

The six-eared macaque felt that he was extremely lonely, why didn't everyone around him seek to make progress.

Why did I become sworn brothers with these monsters back then? I really regret it.

King Yu Tamarin closed his eyes and chanted scriptures in his mouth without answering the question.

The six-eared macaque said in distaste: "I'll leave when the sutra group passes by, as if no one wants to stay in your dilapidated den."

Seeing that King Yu Tamarin ignored him, he pricked up his ears to listen to what King Lion and Camel was doing.

After listening for a while, there was only the sound of eating, and then they flew thousands of miles, beyond his listening range, there was really no useful news at all.

"This lion is really useless." The six-eared macaque spat, changed direction, and caught another movement among countless voices, which was Tang Seng's.

The entourage he brought out from Datang has been eaten, and he is about to meet Monkey King at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain.

From now on, he can't relax even for a moment, and wants to eavesdrop on all the interactions between them.

You can only become them if you know them.

—

Falling from the black nest at a height of a thousand feet to the ground, Shi Zheng turned his head and saw Yuan Chiyu landed right after him, and asked him suspiciously, "Are you not a monk?"

"Who said I want to be a monk?"

"The pig demon said it. It's fine if it's not."

Even Shi Zheng could hear the ease in his tone, and asked in puzzlement, "Does it matter if I become a monk or not?"

"...I... am from a Taoist school, and I don't like to be friends with monks."

You kid has a lot to do.Shi Zheng opened the lotus leaf and saw roast goose inside, and said with a smile, "Just hit them, and I won't become a monk."

Suddenly remembered that he was still under the black nest, and the smell wafted up, which was not good for King Yu Tamarin, so he hurriedly got up and flew away.

Shi Zheng was already hungry, and started to eat without delay in the air, but after taking a few mouthfuls, he caught a glimpse of Yuan Chiyu staring at him intently from the corner of his eye, and said after a pause, "Look at me, I forgot to give you the portion."

Yuan Chiyu shook his head, "I won't eat."

If you don't want it, forget it, anyway, I let you go.Shi Zheng continued to eat with his head down. After a while, he finally couldn't stand Yuan Chiyu's gaze, and said anxiously, "Why do you keep looking at me? Give it to you, but you don't want it, and you just want to watch me eat?! Let me tell you again. , if you want to eat, just say so.”

Yuan Chiyu heard the words, turned his head to look elsewhere, "I really don't want to eat."

Shi Zheng finally figured it out, "Ah, I see, I forgot to give you the meal money, how much did you advance for me?"

"It's not because of money." Yuan Zhiyu quickly denied it.

Shi Zheng said, "Then why are you staring at me?"

He thought for a while, "Well... it's because of the money."

"That's right. Brothers have to settle accounts clearly. It's not difficult to borrow and borrow." As a monster who occasionally goes shopping in Chang'an, Shi Zheng still carries some money with him at ordinary times. He takes out a broken piece of silver and throws it at Yuan Chiyu, "There's no need to look for it."

Yuan Chiyu put away the money, "Then I will buy you food next time."

Shi Zheng smiled and said, "If you're willing to pay, I won't stop you." Seeing that Aolai Country is already below, and he's about to go to his own territory, "Okay, you don't have to stay with me."

Shi Zheng reminded Yuan Chiyu that he could leave. The Xingyue Sanxing Cave where he studied is in Xiniu Hezhou, which is completely opposite to Dongsheng Shenzhou where Wangxia Cave is located.

"I'm afraid you won't have the strength to fly and fall into the sea." Yuan Chiyu justified, "You couldn't even stand up just now."

"I ate something just now, so I'm not hungry anymore." Shi Zheng said, "And now there is land below, so I won't fall into the sea wherever I fall. Go back."

Yuan Chiyu confirmed seriously: "Are you really not going to become a monk?"

Shi Zheng was a little impatient, "Don't worry about me. Think about yourself when you have time. This time, Zhen Yuanzi has remembered you, and he will hunt you down wherever he goes."

"He hasn't apologized to you yet."

That's not the point at all, "In short, don't go out of the Three-star Cave of the Oblique Moon if you have nothing to do in the future, and honestly learn from the ancestor of Bodhi for 80 years. Try not to let Zhen Yuanzi catch your whereabouts, maybe he will kill you Forget about it."

Yuan Chiyu didn't say a word.

Shi Zheng sighed and shook his head, "I feel like I'm sloppy, so do what you like. Anyway, I can't beat Zhen Yuanzi, so you should try to beat him up as soon as possible from Bodhi."

Zhen Yuanzi is the strongest Taoist priest on the surface, and Shi Zheng doesn't have the magical immunity of Yuan Chiyu, so trying to single him out is tantamount to wishful thinking.

"Yes, the master said that I will soon be able to learn and come out of the mountains."

"That's great."

Whether he came out of the mountain after learning, built his own cave, or established his own sect, it had nothing to do with him, Shi Zheng, and he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Just now I was only focused on digesting the meeting with King Yu Tamarin, and almost forgot to ask Yuan Chiyu the most important thing, "By the way, this time your master has calculated that I am in trouble, and asked you to help me, but what magic weapon can I give you?" ?"

Yuan Chiyu shook his head, "No."

"Then does he give you any blessings? For example, writing on your palm?"

"No."

Shi Zheng grinned secretly, pretending to be calm and asked: "Then did you notice anything unusual?"

"What's the difference?"

"After Zhenyuanzi and Zen Master Wuchao met you, it seemed that their supernatural powers didn't work anymore."

"What supernatural power does Zhen Yuanzi have?" Yuan Chiyu seemed to be recalling, and said in a moment: "I haven't seen it."

Isn't this nonsense, because you can't use it, so you haven't seen it!Shi Zheng said: "Zen Master Wuchao's tens of thousands of lotus bushes, the lotus blooming all over the sky, should be the effect of the barrier, but you broke through."

"Is that an enchantment? I don't feel it."

What a good answer from Versailles, Shi Zheng asked as calmly as possible: "If Patriarch Bodhi didn't give you a magic weapon or blessing, then it's your own ability, how did you do it?"

But Shi Zheng could probably guess how Yuan Chiyu would answer, and he said, "I don't know either."

Because he had been prepared for a long time, Shi Zheng's expression was very calm, "This is probably a talent, and others can't compare it."

"Does the 'other' you refer to yourself?" Yuan Chiyu asked sharply.

Shi Zheng regretted that Yuan Chiyu didn't beat him up when he was a mortal, and said in a bad tone, "It's me, so what?"

"What I mean is, whoever you want to fight with, I'll help you, so you don't have to be afraid of the opponent's magical powers."

"You're quite a brother." Shi Zheng smiled and said, "I won't talk anymore, I'm leaving." After speaking, he said goodbye to Yuan Chiyu and went back to his cave.

As soon as he walked into the cave, he ran into Egret Jing, who was looking down at the account book. When he saw Shi Zheng, he hurriedly said, "My lord, I have been looking for you for a long time. Do you have any extra orders for this year's birthday banquet?"

Shi Zheng found out that he went out for a stroll today, why he couldn't understand some words, "Birthday banquet?"

He has been here for two years, and he has never held a birthday banquet. Besides, do they know his birthday?

"Ah Hui and the others said that you hold a birthday banquet every ten years, and this year will be the tenth year again. Your birthday will be on the fifteenth day of next month." Bai Lujing said: "You are such a noble person who forgets things."

It turns out that it only happens once in ten years, and life has been going smoothly recently, and it's not bad to spend extravagantly, "There is no special order, you can do it as you see."

Bai Lujing agreed, "Then I will start sending invitations. Your Majesty, do you have anyone else you want to invite?"

This reminded Shi Zheng, thinking that Yuan Chiyu might not have gone far, so he set off to chase.

As a result, Yuan Chiyu didn't move much at all, and was still wandering around Aolai Country, but Shi Zheng found it without much effort.

Seeing Shi Zheng go and come back again, Yuan Chiyu rushed up to greet him, "Why are you back?"

Shi Zheng said straight to the point: "Nothing special, I'm celebrating my birthday on the [-]th of next month, if you're free, come and play."

"celebrate the birthday?"

"You may not believe me, but I just found out." Shi Zheng yawned, "The notice is here, I really have to go back to take a nap, see you another day." Before Yuan Chiyu could say anything else, he turned and flew away.

Yuan Chiyu was in trouble, looked at Shi Zheng's leaving back, and murmured: "Birthday gift, what should I give?"
