I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West
Chapter 34
The more Shi Zheng thought about it, the more reasonable it became, "Yes, let's do it like this!"
It is a disaster to stay by his side, but it is a scourge to offer it to the king of the Aolai country, and let the king build a Jade Emperor Temple to enshrine the ganoderma grass as a national treasure. Even if the queen mother knows it, the ganoderma grass will be taken back at worst.
The Heavenly Court showed deep-seated discrimination against monsters, and it was slightly better for humans, but in their eyes, they were also divided into three, six, and nine grades.
The monsters that escaped from the Heavenly Court are eaten by the common people, but it is different for the princes and nobles.
At the first level of the king, he is still quite respectable and belongs to the key protection object. Even the king of the Wuji Kingdom who threw the Bodhisattva into the water ended up feigning death for three years, without losing a single hair.
Even in order to protect the color on his head, the monsters sent down were still shoveled, which is really caring protection.
Since the monarch has so much face, Shi Zheng decided to dedicate the Ganoderma lucidum grass to the king of the Aolai country, and build a Jade Emperor to worship it.
Without further ado, Feng Xiwen was called to discuss the matter the next day.
Giving treasures is not like returning treasures. If you don’t report through formal channels, who knows what you’re offering, even the king dare not accept it, and you have to use human beings to make bridges.
Moreover, human beings walk slowly, and if they don't go to the capital in a day, they can put the Ganoderma lucidum in his place in a day.Even if the queen mother suddenly sent someone to collect it, he could still ask the county magistrate to testify to him that he, a good monster, has no intention of possessing and has been going through the process of presenting treasures.
Shi Zheng said casually: "I went out yesterday and picked up a nine-leaf ganoderma grass. It is really a treasure. I can't bear to enjoy it myself. I want to dedicate it to the monarch."
It is a very normal thing to present treasures to the monarch. Every year, local officials worry that there are no good treasures to present.
When Feng Xiwen heard that there was such a good thing, he hurriedly said: "This is a great happy event. I will go back and tell the county magistrate that we will go to the capital together to offer treasures."
It is reasonable for the county magistrate to accompany Da Wang Jinbao. He Feng Xiwen is just a wealthy gentry, so he should not have his share, but the good thing of being able to go to the capital and show his face in front of the monarch, how can he be missing? Take advantage of this opportunity.
Back in the city, I told the county magistrate Shao Yongnian about bringing the immortals from Wangxia Cave into the capital to offer treasures. Shao Yongnian was overjoyed at first, "That's really great, our county is considered remote in Aolai country, and it has never been seen. Treasures are produced. This is the first time ever."
Feng Xiwen echoed from the side, "Yes, yes. Master, let's go to see the prefect first, let him know, and we can go to the capital with his recommendation."
"Wait a minute!" Shao Yongnian was slightly startled, with a sour face, and lowered his voice to Feng Xiwen, "Have we forgotten that our Layman Wangxia is actually a monster?"
Bringing monsters into the capital, if trouble happens, whose fault is it?
Feng Xiwen explained: "My lord, think about it, he has all kinds of means, if he is really plotting something wrong, why should he pass us? He is soaring through the clouds, and it takes only a blink of an eye to go to the capital. If he is willing to call us, he must want to pass the government. Dedicate this treasure in a moment."
Shao Yongnian thought it made sense. A few days ago Layman Wangxia celebrated his birthday. He took the yamen servants to carry the congratulatory gifts early in the morning, and left without daring to stay any longer.
But in the past two days, I heard news that on the birthday day, the sky above Hengyuan Mountain was full of clouds, and there were all kinds of monsters outcropping inside, presumably they were celebrating birthdays.
Such a big monster really wants to make trouble, so go straight up, why go through him.
Besides, Layman Wangxia has never seen him do any bad things, but he built the Jade Emperor Temple and paid tribute to the sky. No matter how you look at it, he is a good monster who abides by the law.
Shao Yongnian said: "Do you know what treasure it is?"
Feng Xiwen shook his head, "I didn't see it, Layman Wangxia only opened a corner of the box, and I saw thousands of rays of light inside, it's definitely a treasure."
Shao Yongnian had a solid idea in his mind, "Good over there, I'll write a letter to the prefect. Get ready, let's set off as soon as possible."
The implication is that Feng Xiwen paid for the cost of going to the capital.
Feng Xiwen hastily agreed, "I'll get ready right away."
Another reason why Shao Yongnian brought Feng Xiwen was that he had a close connection with Wangxia Cave, and he could pass words between them. Anyway, he didn't dare to talk to that Layman Wangxia.
Shi Zheng was not in a hurry, the magistrate and the others dawdled the better, and he had a legitimate reason to possess the Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass.
During the few days waiting for the departure, whenever he had time, he would take out the demon pills and put them under the Ganoderma lucidum grass to nourish them.
Of course, apart from himself, all the demons under his command were also stained.
Before going to bed at night, he asked the little demons to spit out the demon pills for him to store, and put them under the Ganoderma lucidum grass to absorb energy at night, and returned them to them in the morning.
The little demons couldn't experience the change, they all asked him what was going on.
Shi Zheng won't tell them the truth, he's not strict with his mouth, and it's over if he goes around.
He sighed: "Of course it is nourished by your king and my own magic power. I will travel far away in a few days and go to the capital to handle errands. You can't be alone, so I can't worry about it."
Hearing that the egrets, jackals, tigers and leopards were all teary-eyed, they all blamed themselves for not living up to expectations and letting the king spend his demon power to train them.
"My lord, don't worry, we must practice hard! Don't let us drag you down!"
Shi Zheng stroked the heads of the four animals, and said in relief, "Your Majesty didn't dote on you for nothing." Seeing the Egret looking at him eagerly, he praised, "You are also a good boy."
Bai Lujing assured: "You can go to work with peace of mind, I am here, there is no mistake."
So, Shi Zheng happily followed Shao Yongnian and Feng Xiwen to the capital the next day.
However, before going, you must report your itinerary to the prefect's office, and you cannot offer treasures beyond the ranks.
The prefect agreed with both hands on offering the treasure, but he was only worried that the level of the treasure was not high enough, so don't do such a thing as giving away a broken stone from pickles as a treasure.
If it is light, you will make a fool of yourself, if it is serious, you will lose your head.
He had to check it first, "I don't know what kind of treasure you are offering? Let me have a look at it first. If it is really rare, you can go to the capital to offer the treasure."
Shi Zheng felt that it was time to show the treasure's true face, so he took out the wooden box in his sleeve and opened it, "It's a nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass. Although I picked it up by accident and don't know its origin, saying it is a treasure in the world is not a lie. "
The eunuch saw the ganoderma lucidum bursting with colorful light, so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes, he couldn't help but said: "It's a treasure, it's a treasure."
Shao Yongnian only felt that his face was bright, which was contributed by them from Tingyang County.
The eunuch walked up to Shi Zheng excitedly, and wanted to reach out to grab it, but Shi Zheng raised his hand and missed it.
"Don't touch it, it will be bad if it is contaminated with the turbidity of mortals." Don't touch it randomly, if you touch off the debris, whoever is to blame.
The prefect looked at Shi Zheng, "Dare to ask who you are?"
"He is a layman who practiced hard in Hengyuan Mountain." Shao Yongnian introduced.
"Since you are a cultivator, then I don't know if there is..." What is it?
After saying this, the prefect felt that his feet were off the ground, and his whole body was floating in the air, and he turned around twice before being released.
It was the first time in his life that the prefect had both feet in the air. When he got older, he could fly.
He excitedly said: "Sure enough, he is an immortal! Immortal, this way please." He said loudly: "Prepare the food and wine, I want to entertain the immortal."
Shi Zheng couldn't help feeling that in this world, human beings are indeed too insignificant, even monsters with a little supernatural power can be regarded as guests.
The prefect was a real person, he held a big banquet for Shi Zheng to eat, he didn't ask for any elixir, he just asked if he could fly again.
So, after the banquet, according to the private agreement, when everyone was asleep, he quietly came to the backyard of the prefect's house, and met the prefect who had been waiting for a long time, "Are you sure? Don't shout."
"I will never say a single word!" The prefect assured solemnly.
So, Shi Zheng used the prefect as a kite and flew it in the backyard of his house for a quarter of an hour.
Let the prefect above the backyard of his house, fly east for a while, fly west for a while, and make a circle for a while.
When he was put down, the prefect wept, "If you can fly like this once in your life, you will die without regret."
Shi Zheng remembered that when he first arrived, he was alone in the air for a long time, and he felt emotional, people really have a dream of flying.
The next morning, with a flick of a pen, the prefect sent ten yamen servants to protect them and go to the capital.
Although he was not free, he thoughtfully arranged his youngest son into the treasure troupe.
Although the youngest son was almost 20 years old, he was spoiled and spoiled. In order to take care of him, he brought several old mothers, maids and servants with him.
Together with the servants brought by Shao Yongnian and Feng Xiwen, the number of treasure offering groups increased to 30, which greatly slowed down the speed of the journey.
Comparing the two phases, the sutra learning group is quite efficient, at least the Bodhisattvas did not stuff all their Arhat servants to gild them.
But Shi Zheng didn't care, even a little slower.
He spit out the demon pill every night and moistened it with Ganoderma lucidum, so he was so happy.
After procrastinating on the road for more than ten days, I finally arrived at the capital.
Aolai Kingdom was influenced by the Great Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land. Both the architecture and the clothes resembled the Great Tang Dynasty, and the capital city even imitated the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City, which made Shi Zheng very friendly.
After staying in the post house, it is said that the paperwork has been handed over, and he can enter the palace to offer treasures tomorrow morning.
Shi Zheng was about to wash up and go to bed, when he saw the door of the room was pushed open, Feng Xiwen said as if he had lost his soul: "The big thing is not right."
Shi Zheng could think of bad things, Taishang Laojun came or Zhen Yuanzi came, frowned and said: "What's wrong?"
"The prince of the prefect has been hijacked! Xianjun, go and have a look."
Shi Zheng thought to himself, he thought it was a big deal, didn't he just be kidnapped, and it's over after being rescued, "Where is it?"
Feng Xiwen pointed to the next door.
Ganqing was still in the inn, why was he so nervous, Shi Zheng went out of his room, turned around and pushed the door of the prefect son, "Didn't the prefect send ten yamen servants to protect him, how could he be hijacked?"
"not human."
"Not a human? A monster?" Shi Zheng stepped in and couldn't help being surprised.
The prefect was not kidnapped by gangsters, but was held to his throat by two big horse monkeys with knives.
The window behind them was open, and two monkeys squatted on the window sill, one of them hugged the prefect's neck from behind, and the other held a dagger to his throat.
No one else in the room dared to move. People obviously lack experience in dealing with monkeys baring their fangs.
"Haw—————" A yamen servant imitated the cry of a monkey, trying to pretend to be his own kind and approach the monkeys, but just a little closer, one of the monkeys jumped up and scratched his face.
The monkey quickly jumped back onto the window sill.
At this time, one of the monkeys said: "If you want this person to live, I will exchange the treasure you want to pay for!"
Everyone was taken aback, "The monkey is talking! The monkey can talk!"
Shi Zheng said, "Slow down! You were the only ones making noise all the way, now it's all over, even the monkeys know that we're going to present treasures."
The monkey who restrained the prefect said sharply: "Exchange him with your treasures! Otherwise, I will kill him!" After observation, only this young man was served by a group of people, which shows that he has the highest status.
Shi Zheng said: "You two monkey spirits who have not yet transformed, dare to kidnap and blackmail like others!" After finishing speaking, he pointed to the two monkeys and said, "Definitely!"
The two monkeys couldn't move anymore, the prefect saw this, he broke free quickly, and raised his hand to hit the two monkeys, "You two damn beasts!" Before he could drop his hand, he said behind him: "You Hold me down too!" I couldn't move.
Shi Zheng walked up to the two monkeys and saw the sad expressions on their faces, as if they were full of complaints.
Shi Zheng thought for a while, then blew lightly on the two of them, "Go."
The two monkeys were surprised and delighted when they realized that they could move. They glanced at Shi Zheng, jumped to the opposite roof, and disappeared after a few strokes.
Shi Zheng watched the two red dots disappear into the night, and said in a low voice, "Red-legged horse monkey?"
He turned his head and patted the immobilized prince, "Okay, let's all rest."
The eunuch was touched, and found that he could move. He looked at Shi Zheng in disbelief, but before he could say anything more, the other party had already left the house.
Leave everyone else to wonder where they are.
Shi Zheng returned to his room, turned off the lights and fell asleep.
At night, the windows were opened at some point, and the moonlight came in with the breeze.
Quietly, two monkeys appeared at the window, squatting there, not moving for a long time.
In the end, Shi Zheng took the initiative to lift the curtain of the bed, sat up and said, "Want to talk? If you want to, come in and talk."
The two monkeys glanced at each other, then jumped into the room silently.
One of them jumped onto the chair, looked into Shi Zheng's eyes and said, "You are also good, why are you willing to let us go? Are you still willing to listen to us? After all, you also said that we have not yet transformed. Incoming little demon."
Probably because this is the Aolai Country of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and Huaguo Mountain is also in the Aolai Country.
Don't underestimate the monkey.
Shi Zheng got up, snapped his fingers, lit the candle, and approached the two monkeys with the candle, "You were in a hurry just now, maybe you didn't see my face very clearly, come on, take a look again, do you think I look familiar?"
If these two monkeys are really from Huaguo Mountain, they should know the Lion Camel King.
The two horse monkeys approached Shi Zheng and looked carefully, "If you say so, the eyes are indeed familiar. It seems that I have seen them there."
As soon as Shi Zheng heard this, he knew that he had guessed correctly. These two were indeed from Huaguo Mountain. He further reminded, "Although I seldom used human form before, but I am in a good mood, and I should have become an extraordinary person."
"I remember!" one of the monkeys exclaimed, "You are the king of lions and camels?! Isn't it?"
After being reminded, another monkey also got enlightened, "That's right, it's the Lion Camel King! 500 years ago, you often visited Huaguo Mountain. We Maliu and I even poured wine for you!"
Shi Zheng asked in surprise, "Are you Marshal Ma and Liu?"
Sun Wukong's Huaguo Mountain has the second general Bengba and the second marshal Maliu, among whom Maliu is the Chijiri horse monkey.
Hearing this, Marshal Ma wiped his tears with his monkey's paw, "I'm no longer a marshal, now that Huaguo Mountain is in trouble, we can't help at all, so we call him Marshal in vain."
At the peak of Huaguo Mountain, there were more than 4 monkeys, and the monkeys in charge were called generals and marshals.
Shi Zheng asked with concern: "What's the problem? Just say it, as long as I can help."
Marshal Liu said excitedly: "Really? Are you not angry with the old days?"
The so-called qi back then refers to their Monkey King who had a fight with the other six demon kings.
Shi Zheng said with a cheerful smile: "The Monkey King and I are sworn brothers. Even if there were any grievances back then, now that 500 years have passed, I have long since let go of it."
The two monkeys Ma Liu looked as if they had found their backbone, "With the help of the lion and camel king, then things will be easy to handle. It's a pity that our king is still under the Five Elements Mountain."
Shi Zheng deduced that Sun Wukong had been released long ago, but he was only in the early stages of investigation and did not dare to act without authorization, let alone return to Huaguo Mountain.
But it won't be long before Tang Seng will be angry and go back to Huaguo Mountain because of the three dozen bones.
But when he returned to Huaguo Mountain, he found that the monkeys were being tortured and killed by hunters. In addition, he was angry with Tang Seng and killed all the hunters in a rage.
But Shi Zheng didn't know what General Ma Liuer said, "Oh, your king is not here, and I'm still here. Tell me, what difficulties did you encounter, and you want to kidnap human beings in exchange for treasures."
"To tell the truth. Ever since the king left, nearby monsters have come to Huaguo Mountain to catch monkeys for them to send. But, to be honest, the monsters are okay. Although we were sent, we can survive anyway. Humans are different. , set up various traps to capture monkeys, eat their brains, or sell them to jugglers. Recently, even General Ba's youngest daughter, Dandan, was caught. General Ba fell ill when he was in a hurry. Let me Marshal Ma and the monkeys chased them out. But we were also besieged by humans along the way, and now we are the only two left to chase the capital, but we haven’t found a chance yet.”
Marshal Liu continued: "It turned out that these hunters saw that Dandan was clean and beautiful. On the day they caught her, she was singing in a tree. The hunters thought she was not an ordinary monkey, so they reported to the government and paid tribute all the way to the palace."
"When we got to the palace, we couldn't save it. At this time, we heard that there was another team offering treasures, so we thought about taking your treasures, going into the palace to offer them to the king, and exchange Dandan back. But we didn't expect to meet Lion camel king you."
Shi Zheng patted Marshal Ma's furry shoulder, "I'm sorry for you."
Alas, the naive monkey thinking, simply thinks that the treasure will be exchanged for his companion.
But don't even think about it, even if the treasure can be snatched away, the monarch saw the two monkeys talking and didn't catch them.
However, Marshal Ma Liu, after 500 years, has not yet become a master, nor does he know magic, which is really surprising.
As long as one of them succeeds, he will not be hunted down by hunters.
It can be seen how difficult it is to practice without guidance from anyone, especially the little demons without a king, who are just alive.
Shi Zheng said: "Don't worry, don't you just rescue Dandan, wrap it on me, and leave the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain to be hunted and killed by hunters, and leave it to me."
"Really?" The two monkeys looked at Shi Zheng with teary eyes.
"Of course. At this time tomorrow, you come to my place to take Dandan back."
"Really?" The two monkeys rubbed the corners of their eyes and said, "Lion Camel King, we will never forget your great kindness."
"You're welcome, who made me and the Monkey King sworn brothers? It should be what I should do."
Shi Zheng sent the two monkeys away, closed the window, and went back to bed to lie down. When dawn came, he followed Shao Yongnian, Feng Xiwen and others into the palace.
Thinking of meeting the king, the humans were nervous all night, full of anticipation.
Unexpectedly, he was only received by an old eunuch, who read the form without raising his eyes, "Put down the things you want to pay tribute to, and you can go back."
Shi Zheng stared into the eyes of the old eunuch, and said displeasedly: "I don't know if we still have a chance to meet the saint, please introduce me."
The old eunuch shuddered under the bright sun and stammered, "Your Majesty is in the East Palace. His Highness the Crown Prince was scratched by a monkey. He will have a high fever. How can he care about watching you?" treasure."
The eunuch said loudly: "Did two red-ass monkeys do it? I was almost killed by them yesterday."
The old eunuch denied: "It's really not true. It was scratched by a little female monkey who paid tribute. It was said that the monkey could sing, but it didn't even bark in front of the prince. In a rage, the prince beat him. Who would have imagined the monkey a few times, the monkey broke free from the chain and bit the prince."
Shi Zheng asked worriedly, "Where's the monkey?"
The old eunuch didn't know why he was afraid of this person, so he said everything, "I was taken to the imperial dining room. Later, the monkey brain was opened to treat the prince's illness."
Shi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and said loudly, "I can cure the crown prince's illness!" Seeing the old eunuch frozen in place, he urged, "Hurry up and file a report, it's delayed, can you bear it?"
The old eunuch hurriedly clutched his hat, and ran away in three steps at a time.
After Shi Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and saw Feng Xiwen and the three of them looked at him with their mouths slightly open.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing, nothing." The humans looked away, but they all murmured in their hearts, is this the confidence of an immortal? It's so imposing.
Soon, the old eunuch went back and forth, leading the way for Shi Zheng, "Please, please." The other three wanted to follow, but they were stopped by the young eunuch, "You stay here."
Shi Zheng followed the old eunuch to a large hall, and saw a man in his thirties sitting on the throne with a sad expression on his face.
Judging from his attire, Shi Zheng knew that this was the king of Aolai Kingdom.
"You said you can cure the widow's prince? What do you use?"
Shi Zheng took out the box containing the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass, and opened it openly. Like every time, it sprinkled the colorful streamer all over the hall, making everyone unable to open their eyes.
"The nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum that I want to offer can cure the prince's illness."
The monarch didn't doubt it at all, so he stared at the light. The Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum looked like a god at first glance, and the sorrow he had just been swept away, and he said happily: "Follow me to see the prince."
Then, Shi Zheng saw the boy who was scratched by the funny monkey and made him sick.
Only seven or eight years old, this would be lying in bed drooling, in a semi-comatose state.
Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass can even raise Buddha treasures, let alone a bear.
Shi Zheng took out the ganoderma lucidum and stuck it to the wound on the back of his hand. The wound healed visibly with the naked eye. After a while, the prince opened his eyes slightly, and said in a clear-headed manner, "Father."
If it wasn't for maintaining the majesty of the king in front of outsiders, he almost couldn't hold back his tears, "Is it better?"
"It's all good." The prince lifted the quilt and was about to get up, "Where's the stinky monkey? How dare it bite me! I want to peel its skin!"
"No, no." Shi Zheng closed his eyes and shook his head, "Prince, your injury is already a warning from heaven, why don't you stop here?"
King Aolai felt that the treasure presenter in front of him was by no means an idler, so he immediately said politely: "Please tell me clearly."
"That monkey comes from Huaguo Mountain. That mountain gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the creatures on the mountain are blessed by heaven and earth. But today, the monkeys on the mountain were brutally killed by hunters. One of them was taken to the palace for a performance. Is there such a thing?"
When King Aolai saw this person when they met for the first time, he spoke clearly and did not dare to hide it, "It is true."
"This is a catastrophe. The gods are furious for the cruelty of life. It must not continue. Even the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain that were caught before must be released." Shi Zheng said.
The king was convinced, and hurriedly ordered, "Don't kill that monkey! Let it go."
"You can give it to me. When I pass by Huaguo Mountain, I will release it." Shi Zheng reminded: "However, it is best to issue a notice to prohibit hunters from going to Huaguo Mountain to hunt again."
"It's not difficult." It can be solved with a list of papers.
Shi Zheng said: "It's very good." The monkeys thought it was a big deal, but it was actually a word from the king.
The monkeys in Huaguoshan were saved, and the hunters didn't have to be beaten to pieces by the Monkey King returning home. It can be described as a win-win situation.
The king suddenly had a bold guess, "Could it be that the emperor was sent by heaven to save the widowed prince?"
Shi Zheng neither admitted nor denied, only showing a mysterious smile, and offered the Ganoderma lucidum grass in his hand, "Please accept this treasure, Your Majesty."
This Ganoderma lucidum not only saved his prince, but could he accept it? The king asked in disbelief, "Can I keep it?"
"As long as His Majesty is willing. However, this object belongs to the heaven. It needs to be carefully enshrined in a Jade Emperor Temple. It is absolutely impossible to put it elsewhere."
The king carefully picked up the box containing the Ganoderma lucidum with both hands, "I know now. From today on, this is the country's most precious treasure." He said to Shi Zheng, "The immortal offered the treasure to save my prince's life. I don't know what to call it."
"I am a cultivator in Wangxia Cave, Hengyuan Mountain, in my country."
"It turned out to be a cultivating immortal." The king said: "If the immortal does not dislike it, I am willing to canonize the immortal as a national teacher, grant a jade seal, and record it in the national history."
Now monsters are rampant, and he has also heard of monsters occupying the country in other continents. As the king of a country, of course he is also worried that he will die at the mouth of monsters one day.
The immortal in front of him donated such treasures, so he didn't look like a bad person in any way. It was the best strategy to confer the title of national teacher and keep it for his own use.
Shi Zheng is a person who must leave a name for good deeds.
The Ganoderma lucidum was offered for this purpose, so there is no reason not to accept it, "Then respect is worse than obedience. However, I have a request."
"Whatever request, just say it." With this treasure of Ganoderma lucidum alone, it is only natural for the national teacher to ask for any assistance.
"Nothing else is needed, as I said just now, build a Jade Emperor Temple, and worship incense in the morning and evening."
"According to what the immortal said!" The one enshrined was the Jade Emperor, not an evil god. The king made a solemn promise without even thinking about it.
Staying in the palace was entertained by the emperor for a state banquet. In the evening, the national teacher Wangxia returned to the inn.
The king has ordered the building of the National Teacher's Office for him.
During this period, he could borrow to live in the Royal Taoist Temple, Shi Zheng agreed, and when the room was cleaned up, he pretended to stay, turned around and returned to the inn.
Shao Yongnian and Feng Xiwen were rewarded for their meritorious service, especially Shao Yongnian's official career was bright, even the prefect's son was rewarded with an official position, it was a worthwhile trip.
They have benefited, and there are still a few days before their return trip, so they all ran out for entertainment.
Shi Zheng took the monkey Dandan and waited for Marshal Ma Liu in the house.
Dandan is the daughter of General Ba, smart and cute, but that was before she was caught.
Now that he has walked through the palace, he has been physically and mentally traumatized, even with a monkey face, he can see that he is not happy.
Shi Zheng bought some peaches for her to eat, she hesitated for a long time before picking up one to eat, then suddenly said: "Anyone with nine orifices can become a fairy, if I have the ability, I must eat that crown prince."
"Is it bad to eat people?"
"Why is it bad?" Dandan said: "I am being abused by them now, isn't it because I am weak. Since people can eat animals and animals become spirits, why can't they eat people?"
Shi Zheng just sighed: "Oh, let's eat."
At this moment, the shadows of two monkeys appeared on the window lattice, and then the window was opened, and Marshal Ma Liu rushed in, and said excitedly, "Dandan was really rescued?"
Dandan called Uncle in his mouth, and threw himself into the arms of the two horse monkeys, "I want to go home..."
"Let's go home." The two red-legged horse monkeys comforted Dandan, looked at Shi Zheng with deep emotion, "Unexpectedly, you really rescued her..."
"It's also her blessing. If it's a day later, I'm afraid it won't happen." Shi Zheng waved his hand, "Let's go quickly, the child's parents are still waiting for her."
Marshal Ma Liu Er choked up and said: "If our king comes back someday, we will definitely tell the matter, and the king will definitely repay you well."
"It's nothing to worry about. They are all family members." Shi Zheng pretended to be understated.
The two red-legged horse monkeys and the little monkey looked at Shi Zheng tearfully, "You must be rewarded." They turned and jumped into the night.
Looking at their backs, Shi Zheng urged in his heart, don't forget, you must tell Monkey King what happened today!
It is a disaster to stay by his side, but it is a scourge to offer it to the king of the Aolai country, and let the king build a Jade Emperor Temple to enshrine the ganoderma grass as a national treasure. Even if the queen mother knows it, the ganoderma grass will be taken back at worst.
The Heavenly Court showed deep-seated discrimination against monsters, and it was slightly better for humans, but in their eyes, they were also divided into three, six, and nine grades.
The monsters that escaped from the Heavenly Court are eaten by the common people, but it is different for the princes and nobles.
At the first level of the king, he is still quite respectable and belongs to the key protection object. Even the king of the Wuji Kingdom who threw the Bodhisattva into the water ended up feigning death for three years, without losing a single hair.
Even in order to protect the color on his head, the monsters sent down were still shoveled, which is really caring protection.
Since the monarch has so much face, Shi Zheng decided to dedicate the Ganoderma lucidum grass to the king of the Aolai country, and build a Jade Emperor to worship it.
Without further ado, Feng Xiwen was called to discuss the matter the next day.
Giving treasures is not like returning treasures. If you don’t report through formal channels, who knows what you’re offering, even the king dare not accept it, and you have to use human beings to make bridges.
Moreover, human beings walk slowly, and if they don't go to the capital in a day, they can put the Ganoderma lucidum in his place in a day.Even if the queen mother suddenly sent someone to collect it, he could still ask the county magistrate to testify to him that he, a good monster, has no intention of possessing and has been going through the process of presenting treasures.
Shi Zheng said casually: "I went out yesterday and picked up a nine-leaf ganoderma grass. It is really a treasure. I can't bear to enjoy it myself. I want to dedicate it to the monarch."
It is a very normal thing to present treasures to the monarch. Every year, local officials worry that there are no good treasures to present.
When Feng Xiwen heard that there was such a good thing, he hurriedly said: "This is a great happy event. I will go back and tell the county magistrate that we will go to the capital together to offer treasures."
It is reasonable for the county magistrate to accompany Da Wang Jinbao. He Feng Xiwen is just a wealthy gentry, so he should not have his share, but the good thing of being able to go to the capital and show his face in front of the monarch, how can he be missing? Take advantage of this opportunity.
Back in the city, I told the county magistrate Shao Yongnian about bringing the immortals from Wangxia Cave into the capital to offer treasures. Shao Yongnian was overjoyed at first, "That's really great, our county is considered remote in Aolai country, and it has never been seen. Treasures are produced. This is the first time ever."
Feng Xiwen echoed from the side, "Yes, yes. Master, let's go to see the prefect first, let him know, and we can go to the capital with his recommendation."
"Wait a minute!" Shao Yongnian was slightly startled, with a sour face, and lowered his voice to Feng Xiwen, "Have we forgotten that our Layman Wangxia is actually a monster?"
Bringing monsters into the capital, if trouble happens, whose fault is it?
Feng Xiwen explained: "My lord, think about it, he has all kinds of means, if he is really plotting something wrong, why should he pass us? He is soaring through the clouds, and it takes only a blink of an eye to go to the capital. If he is willing to call us, he must want to pass the government. Dedicate this treasure in a moment."
Shao Yongnian thought it made sense. A few days ago Layman Wangxia celebrated his birthday. He took the yamen servants to carry the congratulatory gifts early in the morning, and left without daring to stay any longer.
But in the past two days, I heard news that on the birthday day, the sky above Hengyuan Mountain was full of clouds, and there were all kinds of monsters outcropping inside, presumably they were celebrating birthdays.
Such a big monster really wants to make trouble, so go straight up, why go through him.
Besides, Layman Wangxia has never seen him do any bad things, but he built the Jade Emperor Temple and paid tribute to the sky. No matter how you look at it, he is a good monster who abides by the law.
Shao Yongnian said: "Do you know what treasure it is?"
Feng Xiwen shook his head, "I didn't see it, Layman Wangxia only opened a corner of the box, and I saw thousands of rays of light inside, it's definitely a treasure."
Shao Yongnian had a solid idea in his mind, "Good over there, I'll write a letter to the prefect. Get ready, let's set off as soon as possible."
The implication is that Feng Xiwen paid for the cost of going to the capital.
Feng Xiwen hastily agreed, "I'll get ready right away."
Another reason why Shao Yongnian brought Feng Xiwen was that he had a close connection with Wangxia Cave, and he could pass words between them. Anyway, he didn't dare to talk to that Layman Wangxia.
Shi Zheng was not in a hurry, the magistrate and the others dawdled the better, and he had a legitimate reason to possess the Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass.
During the few days waiting for the departure, whenever he had time, he would take out the demon pills and put them under the Ganoderma lucidum grass to nourish them.
Of course, apart from himself, all the demons under his command were also stained.
Before going to bed at night, he asked the little demons to spit out the demon pills for him to store, and put them under the Ganoderma lucidum grass to absorb energy at night, and returned them to them in the morning.
The little demons couldn't experience the change, they all asked him what was going on.
Shi Zheng won't tell them the truth, he's not strict with his mouth, and it's over if he goes around.
He sighed: "Of course it is nourished by your king and my own magic power. I will travel far away in a few days and go to the capital to handle errands. You can't be alone, so I can't worry about it."
Hearing that the egrets, jackals, tigers and leopards were all teary-eyed, they all blamed themselves for not living up to expectations and letting the king spend his demon power to train them.
"My lord, don't worry, we must practice hard! Don't let us drag you down!"
Shi Zheng stroked the heads of the four animals, and said in relief, "Your Majesty didn't dote on you for nothing." Seeing the Egret looking at him eagerly, he praised, "You are also a good boy."
Bai Lujing assured: "You can go to work with peace of mind, I am here, there is no mistake."
So, Shi Zheng happily followed Shao Yongnian and Feng Xiwen to the capital the next day.
However, before going, you must report your itinerary to the prefect's office, and you cannot offer treasures beyond the ranks.
The prefect agreed with both hands on offering the treasure, but he was only worried that the level of the treasure was not high enough, so don't do such a thing as giving away a broken stone from pickles as a treasure.
If it is light, you will make a fool of yourself, if it is serious, you will lose your head.
He had to check it first, "I don't know what kind of treasure you are offering? Let me have a look at it first. If it is really rare, you can go to the capital to offer the treasure."
Shi Zheng felt that it was time to show the treasure's true face, so he took out the wooden box in his sleeve and opened it, "It's a nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass. Although I picked it up by accident and don't know its origin, saying it is a treasure in the world is not a lie. "
The eunuch saw the ganoderma lucidum bursting with colorful light, so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes, he couldn't help but said: "It's a treasure, it's a treasure."
Shao Yongnian only felt that his face was bright, which was contributed by them from Tingyang County.
The eunuch walked up to Shi Zheng excitedly, and wanted to reach out to grab it, but Shi Zheng raised his hand and missed it.
"Don't touch it, it will be bad if it is contaminated with the turbidity of mortals." Don't touch it randomly, if you touch off the debris, whoever is to blame.
The prefect looked at Shi Zheng, "Dare to ask who you are?"
"He is a layman who practiced hard in Hengyuan Mountain." Shao Yongnian introduced.
"Since you are a cultivator, then I don't know if there is..." What is it?
After saying this, the prefect felt that his feet were off the ground, and his whole body was floating in the air, and he turned around twice before being released.
It was the first time in his life that the prefect had both feet in the air. When he got older, he could fly.
He excitedly said: "Sure enough, he is an immortal! Immortal, this way please." He said loudly: "Prepare the food and wine, I want to entertain the immortal."
Shi Zheng couldn't help feeling that in this world, human beings are indeed too insignificant, even monsters with a little supernatural power can be regarded as guests.
The prefect was a real person, he held a big banquet for Shi Zheng to eat, he didn't ask for any elixir, he just asked if he could fly again.
So, after the banquet, according to the private agreement, when everyone was asleep, he quietly came to the backyard of the prefect's house, and met the prefect who had been waiting for a long time, "Are you sure? Don't shout."
"I will never say a single word!" The prefect assured solemnly.
So, Shi Zheng used the prefect as a kite and flew it in the backyard of his house for a quarter of an hour.
Let the prefect above the backyard of his house, fly east for a while, fly west for a while, and make a circle for a while.
When he was put down, the prefect wept, "If you can fly like this once in your life, you will die without regret."
Shi Zheng remembered that when he first arrived, he was alone in the air for a long time, and he felt emotional, people really have a dream of flying.
The next morning, with a flick of a pen, the prefect sent ten yamen servants to protect them and go to the capital.
Although he was not free, he thoughtfully arranged his youngest son into the treasure troupe.
Although the youngest son was almost 20 years old, he was spoiled and spoiled. In order to take care of him, he brought several old mothers, maids and servants with him.
Together with the servants brought by Shao Yongnian and Feng Xiwen, the number of treasure offering groups increased to 30, which greatly slowed down the speed of the journey.
Comparing the two phases, the sutra learning group is quite efficient, at least the Bodhisattvas did not stuff all their Arhat servants to gild them.
But Shi Zheng didn't care, even a little slower.
He spit out the demon pill every night and moistened it with Ganoderma lucidum, so he was so happy.
After procrastinating on the road for more than ten days, I finally arrived at the capital.
Aolai Kingdom was influenced by the Great Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land. Both the architecture and the clothes resembled the Great Tang Dynasty, and the capital city even imitated the Tang Dynasty's Chang'an City, which made Shi Zheng very friendly.
After staying in the post house, it is said that the paperwork has been handed over, and he can enter the palace to offer treasures tomorrow morning.
Shi Zheng was about to wash up and go to bed, when he saw the door of the room was pushed open, Feng Xiwen said as if he had lost his soul: "The big thing is not right."
Shi Zheng could think of bad things, Taishang Laojun came or Zhen Yuanzi came, frowned and said: "What's wrong?"
"The prince of the prefect has been hijacked! Xianjun, go and have a look."
Shi Zheng thought to himself, he thought it was a big deal, didn't he just be kidnapped, and it's over after being rescued, "Where is it?"
Feng Xiwen pointed to the next door.
Ganqing was still in the inn, why was he so nervous, Shi Zheng went out of his room, turned around and pushed the door of the prefect son, "Didn't the prefect send ten yamen servants to protect him, how could he be hijacked?"
"not human."
"Not a human? A monster?" Shi Zheng stepped in and couldn't help being surprised.
The prefect was not kidnapped by gangsters, but was held to his throat by two big horse monkeys with knives.
The window behind them was open, and two monkeys squatted on the window sill, one of them hugged the prefect's neck from behind, and the other held a dagger to his throat.
No one else in the room dared to move. People obviously lack experience in dealing with monkeys baring their fangs.
"Haw—————" A yamen servant imitated the cry of a monkey, trying to pretend to be his own kind and approach the monkeys, but just a little closer, one of the monkeys jumped up and scratched his face.
The monkey quickly jumped back onto the window sill.
At this time, one of the monkeys said: "If you want this person to live, I will exchange the treasure you want to pay for!"
Everyone was taken aback, "The monkey is talking! The monkey can talk!"
Shi Zheng said, "Slow down! You were the only ones making noise all the way, now it's all over, even the monkeys know that we're going to present treasures."
The monkey who restrained the prefect said sharply: "Exchange him with your treasures! Otherwise, I will kill him!" After observation, only this young man was served by a group of people, which shows that he has the highest status.
Shi Zheng said: "You two monkey spirits who have not yet transformed, dare to kidnap and blackmail like others!" After finishing speaking, he pointed to the two monkeys and said, "Definitely!"
The two monkeys couldn't move anymore, the prefect saw this, he broke free quickly, and raised his hand to hit the two monkeys, "You two damn beasts!" Before he could drop his hand, he said behind him: "You Hold me down too!" I couldn't move.
Shi Zheng walked up to the two monkeys and saw the sad expressions on their faces, as if they were full of complaints.
Shi Zheng thought for a while, then blew lightly on the two of them, "Go."
The two monkeys were surprised and delighted when they realized that they could move. They glanced at Shi Zheng, jumped to the opposite roof, and disappeared after a few strokes.
Shi Zheng watched the two red dots disappear into the night, and said in a low voice, "Red-legged horse monkey?"
He turned his head and patted the immobilized prince, "Okay, let's all rest."
The eunuch was touched, and found that he could move. He looked at Shi Zheng in disbelief, but before he could say anything more, the other party had already left the house.
Leave everyone else to wonder where they are.
Shi Zheng returned to his room, turned off the lights and fell asleep.
At night, the windows were opened at some point, and the moonlight came in with the breeze.
Quietly, two monkeys appeared at the window, squatting there, not moving for a long time.
In the end, Shi Zheng took the initiative to lift the curtain of the bed, sat up and said, "Want to talk? If you want to, come in and talk."
The two monkeys glanced at each other, then jumped into the room silently.
One of them jumped onto the chair, looked into Shi Zheng's eyes and said, "You are also good, why are you willing to let us go? Are you still willing to listen to us? After all, you also said that we have not yet transformed. Incoming little demon."
Probably because this is the Aolai Country of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and Huaguo Mountain is also in the Aolai Country.
Don't underestimate the monkey.
Shi Zheng got up, snapped his fingers, lit the candle, and approached the two monkeys with the candle, "You were in a hurry just now, maybe you didn't see my face very clearly, come on, take a look again, do you think I look familiar?"
If these two monkeys are really from Huaguo Mountain, they should know the Lion Camel King.
The two horse monkeys approached Shi Zheng and looked carefully, "If you say so, the eyes are indeed familiar. It seems that I have seen them there."
As soon as Shi Zheng heard this, he knew that he had guessed correctly. These two were indeed from Huaguo Mountain. He further reminded, "Although I seldom used human form before, but I am in a good mood, and I should have become an extraordinary person."
"I remember!" one of the monkeys exclaimed, "You are the king of lions and camels?! Isn't it?"
After being reminded, another monkey also got enlightened, "That's right, it's the Lion Camel King! 500 years ago, you often visited Huaguo Mountain. We Maliu and I even poured wine for you!"
Shi Zheng asked in surprise, "Are you Marshal Ma and Liu?"
Sun Wukong's Huaguo Mountain has the second general Bengba and the second marshal Maliu, among whom Maliu is the Chijiri horse monkey.
Hearing this, Marshal Ma wiped his tears with his monkey's paw, "I'm no longer a marshal, now that Huaguo Mountain is in trouble, we can't help at all, so we call him Marshal in vain."
At the peak of Huaguo Mountain, there were more than 4 monkeys, and the monkeys in charge were called generals and marshals.
Shi Zheng asked with concern: "What's the problem? Just say it, as long as I can help."
Marshal Liu said excitedly: "Really? Are you not angry with the old days?"
The so-called qi back then refers to their Monkey King who had a fight with the other six demon kings.
Shi Zheng said with a cheerful smile: "The Monkey King and I are sworn brothers. Even if there were any grievances back then, now that 500 years have passed, I have long since let go of it."
The two monkeys Ma Liu looked as if they had found their backbone, "With the help of the lion and camel king, then things will be easy to handle. It's a pity that our king is still under the Five Elements Mountain."
Shi Zheng deduced that Sun Wukong had been released long ago, but he was only in the early stages of investigation and did not dare to act without authorization, let alone return to Huaguo Mountain.
But it won't be long before Tang Seng will be angry and go back to Huaguo Mountain because of the three dozen bones.
But when he returned to Huaguo Mountain, he found that the monkeys were being tortured and killed by hunters. In addition, he was angry with Tang Seng and killed all the hunters in a rage.
But Shi Zheng didn't know what General Ma Liuer said, "Oh, your king is not here, and I'm still here. Tell me, what difficulties did you encounter, and you want to kidnap human beings in exchange for treasures."
"To tell the truth. Ever since the king left, nearby monsters have come to Huaguo Mountain to catch monkeys for them to send. But, to be honest, the monsters are okay. Although we were sent, we can survive anyway. Humans are different. , set up various traps to capture monkeys, eat their brains, or sell them to jugglers. Recently, even General Ba's youngest daughter, Dandan, was caught. General Ba fell ill when he was in a hurry. Let me Marshal Ma and the monkeys chased them out. But we were also besieged by humans along the way, and now we are the only two left to chase the capital, but we haven’t found a chance yet.”
Marshal Liu continued: "It turned out that these hunters saw that Dandan was clean and beautiful. On the day they caught her, she was singing in a tree. The hunters thought she was not an ordinary monkey, so they reported to the government and paid tribute all the way to the palace."
"When we got to the palace, we couldn't save it. At this time, we heard that there was another team offering treasures, so we thought about taking your treasures, going into the palace to offer them to the king, and exchange Dandan back. But we didn't expect to meet Lion camel king you."
Shi Zheng patted Marshal Ma's furry shoulder, "I'm sorry for you."
Alas, the naive monkey thinking, simply thinks that the treasure will be exchanged for his companion.
But don't even think about it, even if the treasure can be snatched away, the monarch saw the two monkeys talking and didn't catch them.
However, Marshal Ma Liu, after 500 years, has not yet become a master, nor does he know magic, which is really surprising.
As long as one of them succeeds, he will not be hunted down by hunters.
It can be seen how difficult it is to practice without guidance from anyone, especially the little demons without a king, who are just alive.
Shi Zheng said: "Don't worry, don't you just rescue Dandan, wrap it on me, and leave the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain to be hunted and killed by hunters, and leave it to me."
"Really?" The two monkeys looked at Shi Zheng with teary eyes.
"Of course. At this time tomorrow, you come to my place to take Dandan back."
"Really?" The two monkeys rubbed the corners of their eyes and said, "Lion Camel King, we will never forget your great kindness."
"You're welcome, who made me and the Monkey King sworn brothers? It should be what I should do."
Shi Zheng sent the two monkeys away, closed the window, and went back to bed to lie down. When dawn came, he followed Shao Yongnian, Feng Xiwen and others into the palace.
Thinking of meeting the king, the humans were nervous all night, full of anticipation.
Unexpectedly, he was only received by an old eunuch, who read the form without raising his eyes, "Put down the things you want to pay tribute to, and you can go back."
Shi Zheng stared into the eyes of the old eunuch, and said displeasedly: "I don't know if we still have a chance to meet the saint, please introduce me."
The old eunuch shuddered under the bright sun and stammered, "Your Majesty is in the East Palace. His Highness the Crown Prince was scratched by a monkey. He will have a high fever. How can he care about watching you?" treasure."
The eunuch said loudly: "Did two red-ass monkeys do it? I was almost killed by them yesterday."
The old eunuch denied: "It's really not true. It was scratched by a little female monkey who paid tribute. It was said that the monkey could sing, but it didn't even bark in front of the prince. In a rage, the prince beat him. Who would have imagined the monkey a few times, the monkey broke free from the chain and bit the prince."
Shi Zheng asked worriedly, "Where's the monkey?"
The old eunuch didn't know why he was afraid of this person, so he said everything, "I was taken to the imperial dining room. Later, the monkey brain was opened to treat the prince's illness."
Shi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and said loudly, "I can cure the crown prince's illness!" Seeing the old eunuch frozen in place, he urged, "Hurry up and file a report, it's delayed, can you bear it?"
The old eunuch hurriedly clutched his hat, and ran away in three steps at a time.
After Shi Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and saw Feng Xiwen and the three of them looked at him with their mouths slightly open.
"what happened?"
"It's nothing, nothing." The humans looked away, but they all murmured in their hearts, is this the confidence of an immortal? It's so imposing.
Soon, the old eunuch went back and forth, leading the way for Shi Zheng, "Please, please." The other three wanted to follow, but they were stopped by the young eunuch, "You stay here."
Shi Zheng followed the old eunuch to a large hall, and saw a man in his thirties sitting on the throne with a sad expression on his face.
Judging from his attire, Shi Zheng knew that this was the king of Aolai Kingdom.
"You said you can cure the widow's prince? What do you use?"
Shi Zheng took out the box containing the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass, and opened it openly. Like every time, it sprinkled the colorful streamer all over the hall, making everyone unable to open their eyes.
"The nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum that I want to offer can cure the prince's illness."
The monarch didn't doubt it at all, so he stared at the light. The Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum looked like a god at first glance, and the sorrow he had just been swept away, and he said happily: "Follow me to see the prince."
Then, Shi Zheng saw the boy who was scratched by the funny monkey and made him sick.
Only seven or eight years old, this would be lying in bed drooling, in a semi-comatose state.
Nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass can even raise Buddha treasures, let alone a bear.
Shi Zheng took out the ganoderma lucidum and stuck it to the wound on the back of his hand. The wound healed visibly with the naked eye. After a while, the prince opened his eyes slightly, and said in a clear-headed manner, "Father."
If it wasn't for maintaining the majesty of the king in front of outsiders, he almost couldn't hold back his tears, "Is it better?"
"It's all good." The prince lifted the quilt and was about to get up, "Where's the stinky monkey? How dare it bite me! I want to peel its skin!"
"No, no." Shi Zheng closed his eyes and shook his head, "Prince, your injury is already a warning from heaven, why don't you stop here?"
King Aolai felt that the treasure presenter in front of him was by no means an idler, so he immediately said politely: "Please tell me clearly."
"That monkey comes from Huaguo Mountain. That mountain gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the creatures on the mountain are blessed by heaven and earth. But today, the monkeys on the mountain were brutally killed by hunters. One of them was taken to the palace for a performance. Is there such a thing?"
When King Aolai saw this person when they met for the first time, he spoke clearly and did not dare to hide it, "It is true."
"This is a catastrophe. The gods are furious for the cruelty of life. It must not continue. Even the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain that were caught before must be released." Shi Zheng said.
The king was convinced, and hurriedly ordered, "Don't kill that monkey! Let it go."
"You can give it to me. When I pass by Huaguo Mountain, I will release it." Shi Zheng reminded: "However, it is best to issue a notice to prohibit hunters from going to Huaguo Mountain to hunt again."
"It's not difficult." It can be solved with a list of papers.
Shi Zheng said: "It's very good." The monkeys thought it was a big deal, but it was actually a word from the king.
The monkeys in Huaguoshan were saved, and the hunters didn't have to be beaten to pieces by the Monkey King returning home. It can be described as a win-win situation.
The king suddenly had a bold guess, "Could it be that the emperor was sent by heaven to save the widowed prince?"
Shi Zheng neither admitted nor denied, only showing a mysterious smile, and offered the Ganoderma lucidum grass in his hand, "Please accept this treasure, Your Majesty."
This Ganoderma lucidum not only saved his prince, but could he accept it? The king asked in disbelief, "Can I keep it?"
"As long as His Majesty is willing. However, this object belongs to the heaven. It needs to be carefully enshrined in a Jade Emperor Temple. It is absolutely impossible to put it elsewhere."
The king carefully picked up the box containing the Ganoderma lucidum with both hands, "I know now. From today on, this is the country's most precious treasure." He said to Shi Zheng, "The immortal offered the treasure to save my prince's life. I don't know what to call it."
"I am a cultivator in Wangxia Cave, Hengyuan Mountain, in my country."
"It turned out to be a cultivating immortal." The king said: "If the immortal does not dislike it, I am willing to canonize the immortal as a national teacher, grant a jade seal, and record it in the national history."
Now monsters are rampant, and he has also heard of monsters occupying the country in other continents. As the king of a country, of course he is also worried that he will die at the mouth of monsters one day.
The immortal in front of him donated such treasures, so he didn't look like a bad person in any way. It was the best strategy to confer the title of national teacher and keep it for his own use.
Shi Zheng is a person who must leave a name for good deeds.
The Ganoderma lucidum was offered for this purpose, so there is no reason not to accept it, "Then respect is worse than obedience. However, I have a request."
"Whatever request, just say it." With this treasure of Ganoderma lucidum alone, it is only natural for the national teacher to ask for any assistance.
"Nothing else is needed, as I said just now, build a Jade Emperor Temple, and worship incense in the morning and evening."
"According to what the immortal said!" The one enshrined was the Jade Emperor, not an evil god. The king made a solemn promise without even thinking about it.
Staying in the palace was entertained by the emperor for a state banquet. In the evening, the national teacher Wangxia returned to the inn.
The king has ordered the building of the National Teacher's Office for him.
During this period, he could borrow to live in the Royal Taoist Temple, Shi Zheng agreed, and when the room was cleaned up, he pretended to stay, turned around and returned to the inn.
Shao Yongnian and Feng Xiwen were rewarded for their meritorious service, especially Shao Yongnian's official career was bright, even the prefect's son was rewarded with an official position, it was a worthwhile trip.
They have benefited, and there are still a few days before their return trip, so they all ran out for entertainment.
Shi Zheng took the monkey Dandan and waited for Marshal Ma Liu in the house.
Dandan is the daughter of General Ba, smart and cute, but that was before she was caught.
Now that he has walked through the palace, he has been physically and mentally traumatized, even with a monkey face, he can see that he is not happy.
Shi Zheng bought some peaches for her to eat, she hesitated for a long time before picking up one to eat, then suddenly said: "Anyone with nine orifices can become a fairy, if I have the ability, I must eat that crown prince."
"Is it bad to eat people?"
"Why is it bad?" Dandan said: "I am being abused by them now, isn't it because I am weak. Since people can eat animals and animals become spirits, why can't they eat people?"
Shi Zheng just sighed: "Oh, let's eat."
At this moment, the shadows of two monkeys appeared on the window lattice, and then the window was opened, and Marshal Ma Liu rushed in, and said excitedly, "Dandan was really rescued?"
Dandan called Uncle in his mouth, and threw himself into the arms of the two horse monkeys, "I want to go home..."
"Let's go home." The two red-legged horse monkeys comforted Dandan, looked at Shi Zheng with deep emotion, "Unexpectedly, you really rescued her..."
"It's also her blessing. If it's a day later, I'm afraid it won't happen." Shi Zheng waved his hand, "Let's go quickly, the child's parents are still waiting for her."
Marshal Ma Liu Er choked up and said: "If our king comes back someday, we will definitely tell the matter, and the king will definitely repay you well."
"It's nothing to worry about. They are all family members." Shi Zheng pretended to be understated.
The two red-legged horse monkeys and the little monkey looked at Shi Zheng tearfully, "You must be rewarded." They turned and jumped into the night.
Looking at their backs, Shi Zheng urged in his heart, don't forget, you must tell Monkey King what happened today!
