I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West

It is not easy for Cheng Yaojin to overcome all obstacles.

Several times even the revolving lanterns of life began to be released, but fortunately every time the danger was turned into good fortune, as if blessed by the gods.

After leaving Chang'an, the first difficulty encountered was how to cross the North Sea.

Datang is located in Nanfangbu Prefecture and Beiju Luzhou, separated by a deep sea like a moat.

Their original plan was to go to the North Sea Ferry, or buy or hire a big ship to take them to the mainland over there.

It was only when they arrived that they realized that they were really unlucky. A storm last year destroyed several large ships that could sail, and the rebuilding of the ships took at least two years to start.

Cheng Yao Jin Wangyang sighed, what to do.

Then he encountered the first miracle. In the dream, a dragon told him that he could take all the people to the seaside the next morning, and he would help them cross the sea.

Cheng Yaojin was dubious, but he had no other choice, so he still believed in this fantasy dream.

When they reached the coast, they really saw a silver dragon floating in the sea, and said to him: "Duke, I don't have time, come up quickly."

Everyone sat on the back of the silver dragon in a daze like a dream, braved the wind and waves, and went straight to the other side of the continent.

As Cheng Yaojin's son, Cheng Huailiang is also a master who is not afraid of anything, but that is all about human beings.

When I encountered such a fairy-related matter, I also stuttered, "Father, father, is this true?"

"Since your Majesty can be entangled by the Jinghe Dragon King, it means that dragons really exist, so it is normal for the dragon clan to help us cross the sea." Cheng Yaojin, as the president's marshal going to Beiju Luzhou, anyone can panic, but he can't.

Cheng Huailiang didn't feel the logic in his father's words, but seeing his father sitting upright on the dragon's back, he seemed to be really not afraid, and couldn't help admiring him, as expected of his father, full of courage.

Cheng Yaojin cleared his throat, and asked Yinlong, "Why did you help us? Is it because the Jinghe Dragon King entangled the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, making your dragon clan feel guilty?"

"What the Dragon King of Jinghe does is none of my business!" Yinlong snorted, "I am also entrusted by someone to send you across the sea. Don't ask who it is, I won't tell if you ask me, if you ask me Strength, it is better to sit still, I want to speed up!"

His clan sister is a good fortune dragon girl next to Guanyin, and she went home yesterday and said that she hoped that he would do a favor and carry the special envoys of the Tang Dynasty to Beiju Luzhou.

It was not easy for the family to have a promising younger sister who worked next to Guanyin, and the family could not fully support her.

Silver Dragon galloped across the sea. The ferry needed several months of sailing. He finished the run in half a day. If he was not afraid of going too fast and making these humans spit on his back, he could go faster.

"Okay, here we are. I wish you all the best. I would like to give you a piece of advice. Your test has just begun. If you encounter difficulties, call out the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva." After speaking, the silver dragon disappeared into the water.

After Cheng Yaojin got off Yinlong's back, Cheng Yaojin and a group of people stayed at the beach for several days before adjusting to the sequelae of dragon dizziness.

No matter what, I crossed the North Sea and arrived at Beiju Luzhou Continent.

As soon as they arrived at Beiju Luzhou, they smelled a different smell. Even the wind here is fishy.

A lynx as tall as a person and an earthworm with thick arms are commonplace.

They can also talk, for example, "Look at your mother's legs, haven't you seen such a beautiful lynx as me? Always remember that in Beiju Luzhou, your human race is a minority."

There is only one goblin on the other side, but they have 1000 people, which is a huge team.

Around Datang, they also encountered goblins, but when they saw how many of them there were, they ran away.

In Beiju Luzhou, monsters do not shy away from people at all.

This gave Cheng Yaojin a preliminary impression of Beiju Luzhou.

"...We are the special envoys from Datang Kingdom in Nanfangbu Prefecture to Wangxia City in Luzhou in Beiju. Please tell us the way to go."

"Tsk, are you looking for the demon-supporting general conferred by the Jade Emperor? Qilin isn't dead yet, so who will listen to him!" After finishing speaking, the lynx spirit walked away.

He glanced at his son next to him, and seeing his solemn expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just a little bit of shock. Here, goblins and gods seem to be normal existences."

Cheng Yaojin said loudly: "Of course, this is normal! There are fairies for some people, and fairies for every fairies! Don't be surprised, everything is normal."

As they went deeper into Beiju Luzhou, various incidents followed one after another.

"Ah, Duke, it's not good, Chef Zhang was caught by a goblin while he was cooking!"

"Don't panic! It's normal for a goblin to ask the cook to help him cook a delicious meal! Wait for me to order all the soldiers and horses, and just grab it back!"

As soon as he was going to goblin cave, he saw the goblin reluctantly pushed Chef Zhang out, "Tsk, forget it, someone came out of Jinsha, buy my way and let you go, you go."

Cheng Yaojin tasted it immediately, because there are gods and Buddhas behind their backs to protect them.

This idea was confirmed many times in the following journey.

Including but not limited to: he was poisoned by food, his son was bitten by a snake, greedy soldiers stole bird eggs, and he was chased by a ferocious bird father to beg for eggs, and he was beaten on the ground.

At this time, there will be a golden light to relieve their worries and problems, detoxify the poisoned, take other people's bird eggs, and rain golden sand to calm them down.

Later, Cheng Yaojin also learned to be smart. When encountering difficulties, he knew how to exchange good things from Tang Dynasty, such as salt and clothes, which are scarce resources for monsters. Looking for trouble.

Suddenly one day, he heard someone shouting in the sky: "Qilin is dead——Qilin is dead——killed by General Fuyao—"

After this day, he obviously felt that the air in Beiju Luzhou had changed again, it became much softer, and it was not so bloody and rainy.

There are also fewer monsters who rob them, and even the monsters they encounter occasionally have a good attitude towards them.

Especially where the blue, white and black flags are erected, you can pass through them safely.

The communication with the monsters has also increased, and he gradually understands the changes that have taken place in Beiju Luzhou.

A big monster named Shi Zheng killed Qilin and secured the actual ruling position of Beiju Luzhou. He is implementing the policy of coexistence of human race and monster race.

Wangxia City is the base camp.

When Cheng Yaojin heard the news, he felt a lot relieved.

There are people in Wangxia City, not a magic cave.

Stopping and walking along the way, broadened horizons, increased knowledge, and truly achieved the collapse of Mount Tai without changing color.

"Don't panic, it's normal!" became his mantra.

As he approached Wangxia City, he found that the roads were getting better and better, and they were all official official roads.

And the pedestrians on the road, some look like people, and some don't look like people, but they all go their own way, and treat each other calmly.

To this day, when they were thirsty, they came off the road for a while, walked through the woods, and went to the stream to get water, and met two young men.

If a man and a woman are alone in the barren mountains and dense forests, Cheng Yaojin would like to call them wild mandarin ducks, but both of them are men, which makes him a bit confused.

But this is not the point.

The point is, nothing is out of the ordinary in Beiju Luzhou.

But I heard the other party self-reported that he is the Lord of Wangxia City and the king of Fuyao Kingdom.

Cheng Yaojin felt that something was wrong.

Because how could he be so lucky? !

This is not normal.

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said: "Don't fool me, how could you meet the city lord I want to meet casually, how can I have such luck."

Shi Zheng: "..."

At this time, Shi Zheng suddenly felt a force in the sky, he seemed to have known him before, he felt it when Jin Chanzi was catching Zhou, could it be that Guanyin came?

Cheng Yaojin heard a female voice shouting to him, "That's right, he is the Lord Wangxia!"

He was suddenly startled by the voice, and hurriedly looked around, "Who is talking?"

Cheng Huailiang looked around vigilantly, "Father, you are the only one talking."

Cheng Yaojin shook his body and plucked his ears. The voice just now was the same as the one used to protect him. It should be a reminder from Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Cheng Yaojin believed it.

And Shi Zheng also felt the psionic energy in the air, and flew away with a whizzing speed, just like when she came.

"..." Cheng Yaojin turned around and ordered: "Bring your Majesty's handwriting quickly!" Then he said to Shi Zheng: "I believe you are the Lord of Wangxia City, the king of Fuyao Kingdom, and I am the special envoy appointed by Emperor Tang, I will go to you In the national city, welcome a reincarnated monk named Wu Shizan."

Shi Zheng was startled, and then he hummed in his heart and said, "It really made Yuan Chiyu talk, the conspiracy is on its way."

Enough to mobilize the crowd, I specially asked Li Shimin to send a team of special envoys to pick up Jin Chanzi.

With so many people, one person saying a word is enough to put enough pressure on the Wu couple.

Shi Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Wu Shizan? A reincarnated monk? Is there any evidence?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty must have it, but he didn't give it to me. However, there are many high-ranking people around His Majesty, and there are gods and Buddhas to point out, so there must be nothing wrong. I am only following orders, please be considerate One or two."

The subordinates brought over Li Shimin's handwriting, and Cheng Yaojin handed it over to Shi Zheng.

At this time, a crow from nowhere in the dense forest flew past, causing embarrassment for the ceremony of presenting the credentials.

Cheng Yaojin never imagined that he would meet the opponent's monarch in the wild, which led to a lack of sense of ceremony.

Shi Zheng took the letter from Li Shimin himself, opened it, and saw that the wording of the letter was sincere.

Although he didn't directly point out that Wu Shizan was Tang Seng's reincarnation, he couldn't help emphasizing the importance of this reincarnated child to him and the Tang Empire. As long as Shi Zheng was willing to release him, Tang Kingdom could establish diplomatic relations with Wangxia City, and trade would be easy.

"..." Shi Zheng hesitated.

At this moment, Yuan Chiyu finally felt that everything was safe, so he flew over belatedly and asked Shi Zheng, "What's wrong?"

Shi Zheng whispered in his ear: "They are here to exchange the golden cicada."

Yuan Chiyu put a little distance between the two of them, stared at the bearded man in front of them and said, "Are you from the Tang Dynasty?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Before Yuan Chiyu went to Wudingmen to practice, he was also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Judging from the way the other party dressed and the horse's outfit, he really felt very familiar, not like a fake.

"Actually, there's no need to make up your mind now. I think they're carrying a lot of luggage. Let's take it back to the city first."

Shi Zheng said in his heart, Chengyu, you have also taken aim at the supplies they brought, and I have ruined them all, "That's right, bring them back and make a long-term plan."

The two of them bit their ears in front of Cheng Yaojin, and their voices were not too loud, so that the other party could hear them too.

Cheng Yaojin thought to himself, who is this black-haired man?Why are you so close to the king of the demon country?The emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked his courtiers to discuss matters, no matter how approachable and respectful the corporals were, they would not be so indiscriminate.

Shi Zheng said: "I seem to have heard of Wu Shizan, but he is the darling of his parents, and he is still young. You follow me back to the city and meet his parents before we talk about it."

When Cheng Yaojin heard that there was such a person and allowed them to enter the city, he suddenly felt the pressure drop, and he laughed loudly to his subordinates: "Our destination is in front of us!"

Shi Zheng gave them a chance to choose, "Will you walk over by yourself, or shall I take you back?"

Cheng Yaojin asked: "How do you take us back?" With the experience of crossing the sea with a silver dragon, he can probably guess the method, but he couldn't help asking vigilantly.

Shi Zheng said: "Make a cloud and pull you all over."

Thinking of the dizziness caused by the silver dragon's rapid crossing of the sea, it would be even more uncomfortable to fly into the sky, Cheng Yaojin refused, "Anyway, there are only a few days left, let's go over."

Since the other party is not willing to take the ride on the cloud, forget it, Shi Zheng said: "Well, you can do what you want, and see you in a few days." After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to Cheng Yaojin with Yuan Chiyu, and flew into the sky.

Cheng Huailiang looked at the two flying away and said with emotion: "Beiju Luzhou is unfathomable. Fortunately, they are easy to talk to. If they are not willing to cooperate, how can we take Wu Shizan away."

Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty and Datang are also blessed by gods and Buddhas, and we are not alone. However, from the tone of the monarch just now, it seems that he will not embarrass us."

After asking the followers to rest for a while, they continued on the road to Wangxia City.

After Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu returned to Wangxia City, they first called Jiuling Yuansheng and shared the news.

As Jin Chanzi's godfather, he must know about this, and he will notify Wu Deyou and his wife when the time comes.

Jiuling Yuansheng had an unexpected and reasonable feeling, "I knew that Buddhism would not let it go! They also spend time on the road. If you go backwards, it means that Jin Chanzi and the others were born not long ago. Ask Tang to send a special envoy."

Shi Zheng nodded, "It looks so."

Buddhism has never given up on Jin Chanzi.

"They should also know that your attitude towards the human race is very good. If you send Bodhisattva Arhats from the Buddhist sect to snatch them, you may beat them back. It will be too bad, there is room for negotiation." Jiuling Yuansheng continued.

Shi Zheng also agrees with this point, and wants to take back the golden cicada, and asks the emperor of the human race to send a special envoy to invite him. According to Shi Zheng's character, at least he will not go to war.

Moreover, if Jin Chanzi was taken back by the authorities, even if he was not born in Datang, he still has the nationality of Datang.

Fomen's calculations are very precise.

In the past five years, Jiuling Yuansheng has developed feelings for Jin Chanzi and Huang Mei. Although they are not biological parents, they are reluctant to part with it, and their faces are gloomy. "Do you want to send them back to Datang?"

"Go talk to Wu Shizan and his wife, so that they won't be caught off guard when the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty arrives in a few days."

Jiuling Yuansheng felt that it was reasonable, so he acted immediately, walked out of the palace, and flew to the place where the human race lived.

Jiuling Yuansheng went straight to Wu Deyou's house, landed in front of the door, and slapped the door panel hard several times.

Wu Deyou was leading a few children to dance with knives and guns in the yard. When he heard the movement, he opened the door, "Please come in quickly. I am thinking about a new move recently. Please give me some pointers."

Wu Deyou and Jiuling Yuansheng often have martial arts discussions, and in these years, he has also learned a little bit of breathing, and his internal strength is stronger, and his spear skills are more powerful, and his dancing moves are more vigorous than before. There is also progress.

"Hey, isn't this the time to talk about these things? Is the child's mother here?" Seeing Wu Deyou nodding, Jiu Ling Yuansheng said: "You husband and wife are both here, so let's go into the room and talk about it."

Wu Deyou said to the children: "Play by yourself." He followed Jiuling Yuansheng into the house.

Wu Deyou and his wife have four children, two older, now in their teens, and a pair of twins who are almost six years old.

Although the twins are similar in appearance, it is very easy to tell them apart through their demeanor.

The elder brother Wu Shizan among the twins, Jin Chanzi was reincarnated with a good manner.

His younger brother, Wu Shijie, was a boy with yellow eyebrows in his previous life, and his expression was always casual.

"Shizan, let's wrestle our arms. I use one hand and you use two. If you win, I will give you all my dishes tonight." Among the four children, the eldest brother smiled proposal.

"I still have something to think about, let's play." After Jin Chanzi finished speaking, he walked to the stone chair in the corner and sat down, crossed his legs, bowed his head and wondered what he was thinking.

The boy with yellow eyebrows said to his elder brother: "Don't pay attention to him, he has something wrong, I'll wrestle with you."

The second sister among the four children walked over quietly, and Shizan sighed in a low voice, "Who am I, and where am I going? In the vast world, do I have to live my life in a daze?"

"..." Shijie was right, Shizan was afraid that the child might be sick, so the second sister walked away silently.

Except for Jin Chanzi, the other three children were playing in the yard.

The second sister glanced at Shi Zan from time to time, and said worriedly: "Why is he so old-fashioned at such a young age? Speaking of which, I remember that when he caught Zhou, he seemed to have caught a Buddhist bead, which made my mother very unhappy, and was afraid that he would become a fool." Monk."

The boy with yellow eyebrows also looked back at his twin brother, "What is a monk?"

The second sister said: "I heard from my mother that she is also a practitioner, but she has to shave her head and cut off all ties with the family."

As soon as the words fell, they heard their mother shouting from inside the room, "What? Someone from the Tang Dynasty wants to pick up Shizan? Is he the reincarnation of an eminent monk?"

When the four children in the courtyard heard these words, they all dropped the stone locks, wooden sticks and spears in their hands and ran to the door to eavesdrop.

While Jin Chanzi was also watching the other three children, he walked over, found a corner, and listened with his ears pressed against the window lattice.

"The reincarnation of eminent monks should not be false. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sent them all the way. There must be enlightenment from gods and Buddhas behind them. Otherwise, they have never been to Beiju Luzhou. How could they ask Wu Shizan as soon as they asked for roll call?"

This is the voice of godfather Jiuling Yuansheng.

Then came their father's voice, which sounded very tangled, "But the child's name was chosen by His Majesty the King."

Jiuling Yuansheng said: "So, this child has been watched by Buddhist Bodhisattvas all the time. One side took the name, and the other side passed it on to Tang Emperor Li Shimin."

Hearing these words, Jin Chanzi trembled all over, and muttered, "Li Shimin, Li Shimin...why is this name so familiar."

The yellow-browed boy stared at him with a frown, and sneered, "Is this name strange? It sounds familiar, isn't it normal?"

"No, no." Jin Chanzi said in a tangled voice, "...Oh, I feel sorry for him."

The boy with yellow eyebrows said: "Then do you feel that you are sorry for me?"

"No." Jin Chanzi said firmly: "On the contrary, I often feel that you are sorry for me."

I want to beat you up when I see you, but as your brother, I can only restrain this impulse as much as possible.

The eldest brother and the second sister stared at the two little guys and thought, listen to the conversation between the two of you, does it sound like a six-year-old child?

Their father said loudly in the house: "Even if Shi Zan has a history, but in this life, he is our child. He has been raised so much, how could he let go casually."

The boy with yellow eyebrows was not happy when he heard it. He opened the window and poked his head in, "Don't I have a background? If you dare, my brother is excellent, and I am ordinary."

His focus is all on his elder brother being favored by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, while he is mediocre.

Wu Deyou and his wife were taken aback, seeing the heads of the other three children also appearing in front of the window.

Wu Youde simply called the children to come in, and when the children had entered the room, he grabbed Shizan's arm, brought him to him, held his face, looked left and right, "He is quite an ordinary child, how could he be The reincarnation of an eminent monk wanted by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Did you get the name wrong?"

"Father, my neck hurts from being stretched by you." Jin Chanzi took his father's hand away, "...they probably found the right person. Recently I often had a dream. In the dream, there was a flag with Tang characters embroidered on it. No matter how I go, I will eventually walk under the flag."

Wu Deyou's daughter-in-law said sharply: "This is not your own dream, but people from the Buddhist sect asked you to do it."

"That just proves that I belong to them and they need me." Jin Chanzi sighed: "Hearing these words today, I have a feeling of enlightenment in the fog. It turns out that this is my destination. Sure enough, in this life I am doomed to live a life far away from the world, so I can no longer be filial to you two. I have more ambitious goals to accomplish."

"..." Wu Deyou and his wife were stunned and looked at each other.

Then he dragged his son onto the kang, picked up the broom for sweeping the kang, pressed one on the kang, and beat the other on the kang.

"Little boy, what are you talking about?"

"Pretend to be an adult!"

Jiuling Yuansheng hurriedly stopped him, "Don't be like this, you have something to say. If this kid is talking about his true thoughts, you can't stop him. He will run to become a monk sooner or later."

Wu Deyou and his wife stopped, sat on the kang and sighed repeatedly, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Jin Chanzi comforted: "It's a blessing, not a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided."

Wu Deyou and his wife glared at their son.

Jin Chanzi rubbed the place where he was beaten, and quickly slipped away.

The boy with yellow eyebrows was unconvinced and thought, his elder brother was a great monk in his previous life, so who is he?If you don't believe it, you are just a casual ghost reincarnated.

Wu Deyou asked Jiuling Yuansheng, "What should we do?"

Jiuling Yuansheng sighed: "I can't make a decision for you, you should make up your own mind."

I always feel that no matter which choice I make, I will regret it in the end.

After sending Jiuling Yuansheng away, Wu Deyou and his wife stood side by side in the courtyard and looked at the children, falling into deep thinking.

If Shizan was the reincarnation of eminent monks that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty needed, then as lay parents, they would definitely receive a lot of rewards, not to mention being rich and noble, but they must live a high-class life in Chang'an.

But this is not an illusory dream, but a real "invitation" from the Tang emperor.

But after all, people are not familiar with the place there, and if they move there suddenly and start everything again, who knows what will happen.

"How about this, grab a handful of rice, go for even numbers, and then think about odd numbers." Wu Deyou's wife suggested.

Back in the kitchen, the two each grabbed a handful of rice from the rice bowl, put them on the table, and started counting.

The final number was two hundred and eight.

is a double number.

Wu Deyou's daughter-in-law smiled bitterly: "Perhaps the rice grains have been tampered with by Buddhists. If you want two, you will have two."

Wu Deyou said with a false smile: "That just means we can't escape their control, unless we only ask Shizan to go back with them, we stay here with the other three children. But is it possible?"

After Jiuling Yuansheng left, Shi Zheng glanced at Yuan Chiyu, then looked away, "Then what, I'm going back to the study to read the memorial, what are your plans?"

In fact, the sudden intrusion of Cheng Yaojin, the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, resolved the embarrassment of his failed scheming.

"Meditate and practice." Yuan Chiyu was also thankful that Cheng Yaojin had suddenly appeared, otherwise it would have been bad for Shi Zheng to discover the clue just now.

"Okay, let's do our own thing," Shi Zheng said.

Look at what his mouth says, so stiff, so unnatural.

Shi Zheng came to the imperial study room, sat at the table and thought, if the final result is to establish diplomatic relations with Datang, should he return a letter written by Li Shimin?

Everyone has written handwriting, and it is not good for him not to conduct equal diplomacy.

He grinded the inkstone well, picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, and prepared to speak.

Suddenly, he glanced at a stack of papers in the corner of the book with handwriting on it, and he recognized it as his own at a glance.

I think it was written by the stand-in who hung up.

Shi Zheng took it over and flipped through it, and found that it was a draft paper with a lot of miscellaneous content, including practice pens before signing, schedule reminders, and the calculation of money in the small treasury.

Others couldn't understand the multiplication formula listed, but Shi Zheng knew what was going on at a glance.

"..."

It's his style, even if he's a substitute, he doesn't change his nature of keeping money.

Suddenly, he found a particularly neat poem in the draft paper. At first glance, he thought it was an ancient poem transcribed for practice, but when he looked again, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"I bid farewell to Jianghu, miss you for another year, hold a lantern and a moonlit night..."

Of the three lines of poems, there is one line left unfinished. There is no doubt that the last line must begin with the word "Yu".

Shi Zheng grinned, why are you so unreserved, a hair double, and even wrote a love poem with hidden hair behind your back.

However, today he deliberately lay down on Yuan Chiyu's lap. If he is not reserved, his body seems to be a little bit stronger.

It is worthy of being his substitute, and he has the same virtue as him.

When Shi Zheng saw no one around, it was a good time to "destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces". A cluster of fire shot out from his fingertips and burned the paper on which the poem was written.

Shi Zheng sat at the table and retrieved the memory of the hair double.

I've been very busy these days, and I haven't had time to thoroughly read the memories of the hang-up.

Fortunately, after some inspection, apart from this unfinished poem, there was no other outrageous behavior.

It seems that I am not bad to myself, and I have not planted more hidden dangers of social death.

Shi Zheng let out a long breath and leaned his head back on the back of the chair.

Although he failed today and did not rest his legs on the pillow, Yuan Chiyu did not show any disgust.

So, next time, he dares.
