I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West

I won't see you for a while, these two children have grown up so much, it's really gratifying.

It's just that his personality seems to be a bit crooked, especially Jin Chanzi, if he continues to develop like this, even if he becomes a monk when he grows up, he will also be a master of physics.

The movement of the two of them fighting was too loud, which attracted the attention of Jiuling Yuansheng and the attendants in the palace, and they rushed to separate them.

Shi Zheng found that there were many more maidservants and male servants in the palace, but there were not so many attendants when he left.

"One!!" Jiuling Yuansheng suddenly saw Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu in the air, and under excitement, he almost called out the nickname, and swallowed it back as soon as he uttered the first sound, his face turned red Hong, beat her chest and changed her words: "Nephew, are you back?"

The palace people didn't know that the king who was dealing with political affairs in the palace at this time had completely changed.

I just thought that the king might go out to relax while people were unprepared, and when he came back, everyone knelt down and waited for him to come.

Shi Zheng then landed on the lawn of the garden, seeing the green grass, flowers blooming and willows green, he thought back when he first came here, it was dilapidated and there were snake demons in the pool.

It's like a lifetime away.

Jiuling Yuansheng stepped forward a few steps and hugged his nephew, "You are finally back, I have been worried that you will be in trouble up there."

"I've been studying all the time, never resting." Shi Zheng said with a smile: "When I came back just now, I turned around a little bit, and saw that it was much more prosperous than when I left."

Jiuling Yuansheng said: "The population is large, whether it is farming or trading, it will naturally become prosperous. Every year, many human races and monster races come to vote, and some human races can't stand the exorbitant taxes and monster infestation of their city-state.

As for the monster clan, most of them fled privately under the name of a certain great king. Instead of being servants of the big monster, it is better to come here and be a commoner monster. "

Some little monsters attach themselves to big monsters just to make a living.

In this case, if you encounter a big monster who is difficult to serve and beat and scold at every turn, it is better to run to Wangxia City, own your own property, and have no one to beat and scold.

And when he ran to other places, he was afraid that the king would arrest people, so he ran to Wangxia City, whoever dared to arrest people.

Shi Zheng nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "In order to prevent the little monsters from escaping, those big monsters must also improve the living standards of the remaining little monsters, at least not to squeeze too much. No matter how you look at it, it's a good thing."

Those big monsters who enclose the land nominally submit to Shi Zheng, but they are still kings in their own territory. They are equivalent to manors large and small in human society, with a high degree of autonomy.

But Wangxia City accepts new immigrant monsters, forcing them to improve the treatment of little monsters internally to prevent their subordinates from running away.

Jiuling Yuansheng very much agreed with Shi Zheng's words, "That's right."

"By the way, what about the situation in Lion Camel City?"

"Not bad, nothing wrong."

Thinking about it, there is a lion cat monster who has been king for three years, and Immortal Hu Li who has been a national teacher for 20 years. The level of governance is not bad.

Jiuling Yuansheng continued: "By the way, the original Shituoling has also started to build a city, and the little monsters have settled in the city. They not only grow vegetables and farms, but also imitate the appearance of Shituo Country. Some of them are engaged in manual labor. , There are also small merchants and vendors. Recently, I wrote a letter asking you to name the city."

Shi Zheng said, "Let me think about it, I'm not good at naming things anymore."

Otherwise, call it Hengyuan City.

He used to live in Wangxia Cave, Hengyuan Mountain, Aolai Country. Now that Wangxia City is in place, Hengyuan City should also be on the agenda.

He is a true lion.

At this time, Huangmei's wailing sound came, "Wow--you bullied me--I'm going to tell mother--"

Jin Chanzi didn't even frown, but shook his head helplessly, with a very old-fashioned expression.

When Jin Chanzi was not paying attention, Huang Mei, who was still crying just now, suddenly raised his foot, kicked him in the stomach, and then ran away.

Jin Chanzi clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly exhaled, "It's okay, I'm not angry this time. If I get kicked, it's worth it to end this fight."

Shi Zheng grinned at Jiuling Yuansheng, "Have they always been like this?"

Jiuling Yuansheng nodded slowly, and said in a low voice: "Jin Chanzi is very precocious, although he has no memory of his previous life, but after all, he has a lot of background, his foundation is there, and he is a young adult.

Huangmei is not very good, mischievous, and can't get enough beatings all day long.I think the weather is fine today, so I invited them into the palace to play with their great-grandsons, but it didn't take long for them to be honest. "

Shi Zheng remembered seeing several children in the air just now, except for Jin Chanzi and Huangmei Boy, the rest should be the children of the Seven Lions of Zhujie Mountain.

When he left, they were still in the form of lion cubs, and they were all transformed at this time.

It can be seen that if you are rich, you should have bought a lot of natural materials and earthly treasures to eat.

Shi Zheng looked at the remaining children, male and female, who were watching him not far away.

Jiuling Yuansheng smiled and said: "After taking shape, I understand the rules a lot. Come here, come here, and say hello to Grandpa Gan."

In terms of seniority, Shi Zheng is the godfather of these little lions.

When these children heard Jiuling Yuansheng's call, they all ran over and jumped around Shi Zheng.

One of them jumped up and said to Shi Zheng: "Grandpa, when will you and the general have their wedding?"

Shi Zheng almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, stared fiercely and said: "How old are you, are you supposed to say these words?"

"Next month, I will be 93 years old."

"I just turned 87!"

"I'm 72 years old!"

Several children reported their age one after another, all of them were genuine old guys.

"..." Shi Zheng couldn't talk about his age anymore, so he coughed and said, "It has nothing to do with age, anyway, you can't talk about it, understand?"

"I don't understand. My mother said that you will have a banquet at your wedding."

The little lions don't have any complicated thoughts, they just want to eat a feast.

At this time, Yuan Chiyu suddenly asked: "Why do you ask such a question?"

The little lions said: "My mother said that the general has been practicing in seclusion, and he will get married when he is finished. Today, I saw the general. It must be because your retreat is over, so you want to get married?"

Shi Zheng wanted to, but he was afraid that Yuan Chiyu would not want to pay homage to him, which would make him anxious and cut off relations with him.

At that time, the demon world will spread the news that Shi Zheng is an old man who is disrespectful, covets the beautiful youth of the human race, and then gets beaten.

Not to mention being reduced to a laughing stock, maybe it will be written into the progress history of the human race and monster race

Later generations commented that if it weren't for Shi Zheng's old age, the history of the fusion of human race and monster race would have been hundreds of years earlier.

However, having said that, if he and Yuan Chiyu got married, wouldn't that be a milestone in the integration of the monster race and the human race?

Those human races who came to seek refuge in Wangxia City may also be aiming at the existence of Yuan Chiyu, a human race.

Looking at it this way, the relationship between him and Yuan Chiyu has a great influence.

That being the case, for the harmonious coexistence of the monster race and the human race, they have to be a pair no matter what.

Shi Zheng found such a high-sounding reason for himself, and his back straightened even more.

After the little lion finished asking, the king and the general didn't see an answer, so he asked again unwillingly, "Will you get married? When will the banquet be held?"

Shi Zheng stroked the little lion's hair and said, "If you come to eat and drink, you have to follow the rules, and you have to bring back the New Year's money I gave you before. Are you willing?"

What kind of complicated thoughts can the little lions have, it's just a banquet.

Pay without talking.

They didn't say anything.

Jiuling Yuansheng chased them all away, "Okay, let's go and play." After these children left, they complained: "I lived too poor when I was young, and now everyone is too stingy."

Shi Zheng thought of the thrifty Huang Shijing and his wives. It is not surprising to have such a child.

Jiuling Yuansheng continued: "I told the outside world that Yuan Chiyu practiced in seclusion, and I didn't know how their mother could distort it into something like he was out of seclusion and was about to get married."

Shi Zhengguang felt embarrassed when he heard it, and touched the bridge of his nose, "Really, I've been talking nonsense all day long. However, we can't control the mouth growing on them."

It's okay, say a little more, I don't care.

Yuan Chiyu also echoed: "Yeah, there is no way, I can't control it, just let them say."

But Jiuling Yuansheng said very righteously: "Hey, don't say that, I can't control anything, I told my grandsons to tell them to shut up their mouths and their families. They ask the crime! Don't worry, it won't disturb you."

Shi Zhengyan said insincerely: "... Uncle, you really think about me."

At this time, I heard Gong'e say: "Hey, little enemy, why did you climb onto the statue again?"

Seeing that Huang Mei climbed onto the stone sculpture of the six-eared macaque again, and made a face at Jin Chanzi, "I'm here again, what can you do to me?"

What a brat.

But his previous life was not a fuel-efficient lamp, which is understandable.

Jin Chanzi walked up to the stone sculpture. This time, instead of rushing to drive his younger brother down, he stretched out his hand to caress the stone sculpture, closed his eyes and said, "Brother, can you really not feel his sadness?"

Huang Mei lowered his head and looked at the stone statue, "I think he is very funny." He said, and imitated the frightened expression of the six-eared macaque, "It's really sad."

Jin Chanzi sighed: "I don't know who carved you into this appearance for what purpose, it's really sad to see."

Because of this compassionate thought, the six-eared macaque felt a ray of spiritual energy injected, and regained its sanity again.

Over the years, his sanity recovery has been intermittent.

Sometimes when the aura is strong, one can regain consciousness, and when the aura dissipates, one falls into a coma again.

After a long time, he figured out a pattern, that is, when this little doll named Wu Shizan came to him, he would regain a little consciousness.

The child didn't know why he was so sympathetic to him, and he didn't know what relationship they had in their previous lives.

From his occasional eruptions of psychic power, he knew that this child was not an ordinary person. No matter who it was, the six-eared macaque hoped that he would achieve a great cultivation level when he grew up, and he saved this miserable stone statue.

Shi Zheng thought to himself, evil fate, evil fate, the six-eared macaque joined forces with the yellow-browed boy to kill Tang Seng.

As a result, Huangmei rode on the head of the six-eared macaque to play, but Jin Chanzi took pity on the monkey stone statue instead.

Just when the six-eared macaque was roaring inwardly, giving me more spiritual power, he saw a palace woman reaching out and hugging the bear child riding on his shoulder.

Another Gong'e took Wu Shizan's hand and led him away.

The six-eared macaque could not wait to reach out and stop them.

Don't go, don't leave me--

Endless darkness struck again, and the six-eared macaque, which had no supply of spiritual power, fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, he saw Wu Shizan kicked his younger brother and returned the kick he had received before.

Jiuling Yuansheng brought all the children to him, "Come on, all of you go have dinner with me." Then he said to Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu: "After dinner, send them back to their respective homes."

Shi Zheng was not interested in observing Jin Chanzi and Huang Mei, "Okay, treat them to a meal and send them back."

Although he was in the sky during this time and did not participate in the education of Jin Chanzi and Huang Mei, it was obvious that these two children grew up recklessly, and their personality was completely the temperament of the aboriginals of Beiju Luzhou.

Tang Seng in the original book is a soft-hearted person who "sweeps the floor to fear the lives of ants, and cherishes the moth veil lamp."

His younger brother dared to shake his fist when he provoked him.

In the future, if you encounter monsters, you will have to play the Overlord Gun.

Jiuling Yuansheng took the children down for dinner, while Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu also went to the palace.

The first thing he did when he entered the palace was to take back his own hair. At this time, his double was sitting alone in the palace reviewing the memorial. Seeing his main body coming, he immediately stopped moving.

Shi Zheng had the idea of ​​"retracting" in his mind, and he became a strand of hair.

Shi Zheng twisted his own hair, "You are also a hero." Putting it on his head, this hair became one of thousands of strands and was recycled.

And everything that the substitute has experienced flooded into Shi Zheng's mind in an instant, making him more aware of everything that happened during this period.

He looked down at the memorial reviewed on the table, it turned out to be the death penalty review list of the Ministry of Punishment.

In a normal country, although cannibalism is not allowed, it does not mean that there are no crimes such as killing for goods, killing for love and killing for vendetta.

The power of final review of the death penalty is in the hands of the king. If the king does not approve it, the Ministry of Punishment is not qualified to kill.

Shi Zheng looked around and found that the crime rate was still quite low.

After all, monsters are free to come and go, and if there is a conflict, the big deal is to walk away and commit crimes, and there is a high probability that they will be caught by Jiuling Yuansheng and lose their lives.

In addition, the female fairies are not weaker than the male fairies at all, everyone is equal in all aspects, and they will not be persecuted unilaterally.

On the other side of the human race, the women who can live and have children in such a harsh environment are also quite sturdy. If they are serious, they can also pick up bows, arrows, knives and guns, and beat men with their heads in their hands.

When forces in all aspects are relatively balanced, society will be relatively stable.

Furthermore, as a new city, everyone is here to start over and live a new life.

Those who want to make trouble will be boycotted by the collective, regardless of the monster race and the human race, they are very conscious of maintaining the city.

In terms of marriage, interracial marriages are not prohibited, following the example of kings and generals.

However, judging from the information obtained by Shi Zheng's impression of the substitute, everyone is still more willing to find people of his own race, probably because the food culture is relatively similar.

After all, there should be many humans who are allergic to fur, or simply don't like the other half's hair loss, which makes the house full of hair balls.

Shi Zheng is quite satisfied with the achievements of the past few years, "When we have time, we will go to the lion and camel country to inspect and accept the situation there."

When it comes to Lion Camel Kingdom, Immortal Huli and the others come to mind.

These three practitioners are true Taoists, and they are used to burning furnaces to make alchemy, so they must be able to complete the forging of refining furnaces technically.

Although Shi Zheng learned how to build a stove from Lingbao Tianzun, he has no interest in blacksmithing and has been planning to outsource the project.

Shi Yi naturally hit Immortal Huli and the others on their heads.

Or tell them to come back and help me make steel and iron?

Suddenly, he remembered that Yuan Chiyu was still holding the brocade box, and hurriedly said: "It's so heavy, you put down the box containing the seven-star iron."

Yuan Chiyu said: "Actually, it's okay, not too heavy."

But Shi Zheng couldn't see him suffering, so he hurriedly took him to the warehouse and took out all the iron ore.

Shi Zheng also told Yuan Chiyu about his plan to outsource.

Why do we have to do it ourselves when we can tell others to do it?

It's normal to spend money on services, not only that, but he also hopes that all city residents will learn from his practice, strive to develop the tertiary industry, and order takeaway without cooking.

Sure enough, as the years passed, what remained unchanged was his lazy nature.

Yuan Chiyu thought, if Shi Zheng doesn't want to do it, he can do it for him, "If you feel tired, leave it to me."

Shi Zheng waved his hand and spoke his mind, "How can I let you suffer."

He yelled badly in his heart, and said whatever came to his mind.

However, it's not particularly bad, at least it's not too outrageous.

Yuan Chiyu didn't think too much, and said naturally: "You have been very kind to me before, I remember when I was injured, other people should work and have to work, but I can rest."

Shi Zheng was speechless. If he was afraid that Yuan Chiyu, a fragile human being, would die in his cave and be sued by his family.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chiyu was always thinking about his well-being.

Hey, how about suggesting that Yuan Chiyu promises to repay his kindness with his body?

No, let's not say it can't be done, even if it can be done, he doesn't want their relationship to become an unequal relationship between repaying favors and being repaid. The relationship should be purer.

Shi Zheng felt that he hadn't started a formal relationship yet, and his experience was enough to write a book.

Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of keeping a diary, otherwise these insights would be written in the diary, obtained by the enemy, read out in public, and the lethality would exceed any magic weapon, so he could only commit suicide on the spot.

I thought a lot about it, and finally the topic settled on furnace making again.

Shi Zheng pushed Yuan Chiyu out, "Listen to me, if you say outsource, outsource!"

"Well, I'll listen to you."

The two returned to the door of their respective rooms while talking. Shi Zheng pushed open the door of his own room first, and saw that the inside had been completely new, and the conditions were much better than five years ago, especially the bed was soft and comfortable. .

Sure enough, there is his consciousness in that strand of hair, not forgetting his arrogant and extravagant nature.

There is still a potted plant in the corner with flat peaches, and it has been five years before it sprouted a little bud.

At this rate, it may take years of the monkey for the peaches to bear fruit.

He immediately thought of Yuan Chiyu and went out to knock on his room door.

Yuan Chiyu opened the door in response, and through the crack of the door, he could see that the furnishings in his room were completely new, they had definitely been redecorated, and the level of care was no worse than his room.

Needless to say, this must have been ordered by the stand-in, even if Yuan Chiyu was not here, he was not left behind in the house renovation.

If it were him, he would do the same.

So that hair is indeed an extension of his consciousness, and the things he will do are in the same line. Once again, he is glad that Yuan Chiyu was not allowed to keep a substitute, otherwise he might do something.

Yuan Chiyu asked him, "What's wrong?"

Do you have something to say to him.

"...how is the peach tree in your house?"

Yuan Chiyu looked back at the corner of the wall, "It's just sprouted."

The purpose is to see the condition of Yuan Chiyu's room. Now that he has the answer, he said with a dry smile, "It's the same in my room. Please be busy. I'll find you for dinner later."

He turned around and went back to his own room. After changing his clothes, he didn't rush to find Yuan Chiyu, but lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling and sighed.

He turned around, thinking to find Yuan Chiyu's fault, maybe he found it, so he gave up.

It turned out that Yuan Chiyu had no father or mother, was strong in force, calm and reliable, and had no shortcomings.

It's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not to mention that the other party is a real "beauty".

At this time, hearing a knock on the door, Shi Zheng knew it was Yuan Chiyu, and hurried to open the door.

When they were studying at Lingbao Tianzun, they were hungry, so they took pills to satisfy their hunger.

He hadn't tasted the delicious food for several days, and this time he came back and immediately called the kitchen to prepare the meal.

To Shi Zheng's relief, even the level of the cooks in the kitchen has improved. It seems that the chef was hired with a lot of money.

During the meal, Shi Zheng couldn't bear it, and asked Yuan Chiyu pretending to be nonchalant, "Hey, I want to be a better king. Do you think there are any shortcomings? I can correct it."

Yuan Chiyu said: "You should ask your uncle, or even any official, about governing the country. They can speak clearly and logically. The last person you should not ask is me."

That's right, Shi Zheng also felt that the question he asked was inappropriate.

So he changed his tune and said, "What about from a friend's point of view?"

"No."

Shi Zheng clenched his chopsticks tightly, and thought to himself, if you don't tell me, how can I change it? Except that the gender cannot be changed, he is willing to make some adjustments for him, and strive to become an ideal partner.

At the same time, Yuan Chiyu was also inspired, he should also ask Shi Zheng what shortcomings he has, so that he can correct it and approach him.

"what about me?"

Shi Zheng is willing to sum it up with a simple love saying: Except that you don't like me, there are no shortcomings.

"nor."

Yuan Chiyu was a little surprised, "I remember you said before that I should go out and find more friends. Am I too boring?"

"No! Please be sure to follow your nature!" Shi Zheng didn't give up, and continued: "I don't believe that I really have no shortcomings, you don't need to hide it from me, come on, tell me bluntly, we are all friends, be honest See."

Yuan Chiyu is not stupid, unless he intends to be single in this life, "Really not."

Shi Zheng didn't ask the answer, and couldn't help but think in his heart, alas, I'm so good, "Chengyu, you're not telling the truth anymore." But there was a bright smile on his face.

Yuan Chiyu didn't know Shi Zheng's purpose for asking this question, but he was sure that his answer was absolutely right.

My sweetheart asks you, what shortcomings do I have?

Who will tell the truth?

Besides, he really didn't find any shortcomings in Shi Zheng, even if there were, if he didn't find out now, it means that he didn't have any.

If it is discovered later, it must have been contaminated with him, and it is he who should correct it.

After hearing Yuan Chiyu's answer, Shi Zheng felt that he should not have too many shortcomings in his eyes.

Even if there was, he should have known it long ago.

After all, at Wangxia Cave, his face was very bad, and Yuan Chiyu endured it.

The current him is enough to be called a clean-up and become a lion again. Yuan Chiyu has no reason not to like him.

Then, he doesn't need to change anything, just continue to live as he is now.

After returning from the sky and resting for a day, Shi Zheng was thinking about blacksmithing while dealing with state affairs.

Just about to go to Lion Camel Country with Yuan Chiyu to find Immortal Lu Li and the others, suddenly someone reported, "Qiu Hongji, the Celestial Master who claims to be an imperial envoy of the Jade Emperor, asked to see him, and brought seven disciples with him."

Shi Zheng wondered, which song did the Jade Emperor sing?Once the business started to take shape, did the superiors send people to decentralize power?

There is no company that cannot be destroyed, as long as there are enough paratroopers of investors.

"Call them in."

Yuan Chiyu was not worried, "If you don't like them, let's drive them away."

In the face of absolute force, who has the time to play tricks with them.

Shi Zheng shook his head, "No, I have my own ideas."

Soon, Shi Zheng saw a young man with the appearance of a Taoist came in with a whisk, followed by seven disciples. It could be seen that these disciples were all Sanxian cultivators.

Qiu Hongji, as the celestial master who ascended to heaven, naturally has no shortage of disciples in the world.

He knew very well that Shi Zheng, a big monster, was not easy to deal with, so when he came down from the Heavenly Court, he specially summoned seven of his disciples who had already established a sect to help out.

Qiu Hongji presented the Jade Emperor's banner as soon as they met, clasped his fists at Shi Zheng, and said politely: "I am here to assist you, General, under the order of the Jade Emperor. I hope the General will not misunderstand you. Will not overstep."

It will definitely interfere and exceed its authority.

It's just who will reveal their true purpose at the beginning.

You can only do things if you let others accept you first.

He speaks so humbly, and still has the face of the Jade Emperor, even Shi Zheng is too embarrassed to drive him away.

He knew that Yuan Chiyu's cultivation was very high, but sometimes, it wasn't just about fighting with force, especially in this stage of governing the country after the world was peaceful.

This is the reason why it is easy to conquer the country and difficult to stay in the country.

Qiu Hongji is full of human experience and full of confidence.

He saw Shi Zheng looked surprised, and then covered his eyes, as if wiping away tears.

He is a little confused, what is he doing?

Shi Zheng walked down the steps of the throne, came in front of Qiu Hongji, patted him on the shoulder "touched" and said: "The Jade Emperor really has a heart, I am short of manpower here." Lead the way for Qiu Hongji, "Follow me."

Qiu Hongji was ready for Shi Zheng not to accept his rhetoric, but he didn't have a chance to say it, he didn't expect it to be so easy.

Qiu Hongji followed Shi Zheng all the way to a large warehouse, where iron ore was piled up on the ground.

"I was worrying about how to refine these iron ores, and the Jade Emperor sent you here. It's really sending charcoal in the snow, a fan in the sweat, and an umbrella in the rain, to rescue the poor and help the crisis!"

Qiu Hongji was taken aback, "This..."

Shi Zheng patted the shoulders of the other seven disciples one by one, "There is a specialization in art, and you are all proficient in this way. It is really precious. Let me tell you, I will keep talents like you, and no one will." Don't leave! Let's shine for Wangxia City!"

Qiu Hongji suddenly noticed that Shi Zheng's eyes were shining with "greed".

Shi Zheng stared at each other "affectionately", ah, it's been a long time since I experienced the joy of getting free labor.
