I'm a Demon King in Journey to the West

Shi Zheng pretended to be awakened suddenly, rubbing his sleepy eyes, "What's wrong?"

"It seems that something happened to Cheng Yaojin."

"Really."

Shi Zheng couldn't understand.From Datang to here, Cheng Yaojin has overcome all difficulties and obstacles all the way, so why did he encounter danger within a day after entering the city.

Something happened to him, don't think it was Wang Xiacheng who did something behind him.

The originally good atmosphere was ruined by Cheng Yaojin. It really didn't waste his good name at all.

Shi Zheng rubbed his hot cheeks, and said without silver 300 taels: "Why are you so hot? Is it because the smell of alcohol hasn't dissipated?"

Yuan Chiyu took the initiative to touch Shi Zheng's forehead, "Is it hot?"

"It's not allowed to test the temperature like this." Shi Zheng took the other party's hand away.

This made Yuan Chiyu's heart sink. He was hugging him when he was sleeping just now, so he wants to put the relationship aside again when he wakes up.

But the next moment, Shi Zheng leaned towards him, lowered his head, and put his forehead against his forehead.

The heat of each other's breath can be felt very clearly.

Yuan Chiyu was stunned, raised his pupils, and stared into Shi Zheng's eyes.

The surroundings became extremely quiet, as if there was only the sound of the other party's breathing.

"Your Majesty—are you there?"

Suddenly, there was an eager knock on the door by jackals from the next door, breaking the dark silence.

Shi Zheng straightened up, smiled lightly and said, "Our temperature is about the same." Then he moved to the side of the bed, put on his boots, and went down to open the door.

Yuan Chiyu recovered from his daze, looked at Shi Zheng's back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He's been getting hotter with himself lately.

—

Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu hurried out of the palace gate and came to the post where Cheng Yaojin was.

The personnel from Datang stood in the courtyard with solemn expressions.

It was just getting dark, and the yard was shrouded in smoke and hazy moonlight.

Shi Zheng went up the stairs in a few steps, and the attendants in the corridor knew Shi Zheng and said, "The king is here."

Shi Zheng saw Cheng Huailiang at the door of the room and saw him frowning, "What happened?"

"My father and I left the palace, were riding horses, chatting, and were suddenly injured by a person falling from the sky!" Cheng Huailiang complained: "My father was in a coma at that time."

Shi Zheng comforted: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as you are not dead, you can be saved." As long as the soul is not locked away by the Palace of the King of Hades, it can be saved.

"That person said the same thing, he is saving my father in the house at the moment." Cheng Huailiang said: "He is wearing a Taoist robe, he should be a Taoist priest, he probably has supernatural powers, do you know such a person?"

Shi Zheng narrowed his eyes, and exchanged a glance with Yuan Chiyu, the answer had already appeared in their hearts.

Wearing Taoist robes, suddenly falling from the sky, probably...

Shi Zheng pushed open the door, and he saw Qiu Hongji standing at the head of Cheng Yaojin's bed, as if he was trying to heal his wounds.

The truth is that Qiu Hongji escaped, was stopped by the barrier, and fell from the air and landed on Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin lying on the bed, still in a coma, Shi Zheng couldn't help frowning at Qiu Hongji, "You're saving people."

Seeing Shi Zheng and Yuan Chiyu, Qiu Hongji instinctively took a step back, "Hey, he just took the elixir of Pindao, and he should wake up soon."

Shi Zheng said with a serious face: "You are negligently hurting others. By the way, why did you fall from the sky? Did you want to escape? It's really unnecessary. You forged the seven-star iron according to the blueprint I gave, and I naturally I'll let you go. Am I the kind of person who doesn't count on words?"

Like, very much like.Qiu Hongji laughed and said, "I just flew into the sky and wanted to take a look at the beautiful scenery of the city in the sunset, but I accidentally touched the barrier, which hurt me a little, so I accidentally fell down. Moreover, I In the past few days, the forging of ironware under the stars and the moon has not been delayed at all, and the work will be completed next month."

With that said, he looked at Shi Zheng sincerely.

Shi Zheng believed his nonsense.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin whimpered twice, opened his eyes, "Huailiang..." sat up propped up.

Cheng Huailiang saw it, and immediately came to his father's bedside, "What do you think?"

Seeing Shi Zheng, Cheng Yaojin said embarrassedly: "Why are you here, it's just a little accident, it's okay." Then he said to his son, "My upper body hurts, and my lower limbs are numb. Help me walk on the ground."

Cheng Yaojin leaned on his son's arm and wanted to lift his leg to the ground, but the next moment, he fell forward and almost fell under the bed.

"My legs, why are my legs not moving?" Cheng Yaojin paled in shock, and beat his legs vigorously, only to find that he was unconscious, like two pieces of wood.

Shi Zheng understood that he was paralyzed by being smashed, and he stared at Qiu Hongji coldly, "Didn't you say that you will treat it?!"

Don't you kid want to take revenge on me, hurt the special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and destroy the relationship between the two countries?

Cheng Huailiang even picked up the big knife, put it on Qiu Hongji's neck, and shouted: "Didn't you say you have cultivation?! Hurry up and take out your cultivation to cure my father!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient!" Qiu Hongji said with a smile: "Just follow my method of exhaling and meditating, and you will be cured soon." As he spoke, he slowly pushed Cheng Huailiang's sword away.

Coming to Cheng Yaojin who was in a state of astonishment and couldn't accept his paralysis, he said: "I'll teach you a few formulas, you can just read it." After finishing speaking, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Cheng Yaojin was dubious, but the matter had come to this point, the emotional breakdown could not solve any problems, and he could only try the formula given by the other party.

After saying it three times in my mouth, I heard a crisp sound on my back, and I felt sensation in my lower limbs again.

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed, "This works! It seems that you are indeed a bit wise."

Qiu Hongji smiled and said: "You and I don't know each other, so why not make friends! I will teach you the method of cultivation and keep you alive for a hundred years."

If Cheng Yaojin was cured when he was in a coma, he would definitely not be able to achieve the emotional fluctuations that made him panic, fear, and joy, and he would not be impressed by his spells.

Who doesn't want to live a long life?Cheng Yaojin said happily, "The Taoist priest is willing to teach me the method of longevity of the old Cheng. It is really my wish."

Qiu Hongji stood with his arms folded, "Then, from tomorrow onwards, I will teach you the method of breathing."

Of course, he will not teach the method of biting gold and longevity for no reason. For a mortal, even if he hurts the other party, at most heal the other party's injury, and he will never give extra charity.

In the Tang Dynasty where human races gather, even if mortals break their heads, the gods are too lazy to take a look, and the disciples and grandchildren can't teach them, so how can they respond to the demands of mortals.

But the situation is different now, he found that Shi Zheng valued this wave of envoys from Tang Dynasty very much.

Among them, Cheng Yaojin, the special envoy who led the team, had an important mission, and he had to leave Wangxia City and return to Datang.

Therefore, as long as he has a good relationship with Cheng Yaojin, when the time comes, let Cheng Yaojin ask Shi Zheng for someone, and he will be released by Shi Zheng and leave here.

Otherwise, judging by Shi Zheng's appearance, even after forging the seven-star iron, I still don't know how to extract his labor.

He belongs to the curve to save himself from the devil's lair.

As long as you get close to Cheng Yaojin, even tell him that he can go to Datang with them to spread the law of longevity, and ask Cheng Yaojin to take him out of here.

Cheng Yaojin heard that the Taoist priest was going to teach him the secret method of longevity, and said happily: "That's good, Lao Cheng will be here waiting for you tomorrow!"

He is old, and he has long felt that his physical strength and energy are not as good as when he was young. Who doesn't want to stay young forever?If youth is gone and cannot be returned, prolonging the life span becomes a lifelong pursuit.

Qiu Hongji said with a smile: "It's a deal, see you or leave."

Shi Zheng was watching Qiu Hongji's performance. He knew what Qiu Hongji was up to, and wanted to use Cheng Yaojin as a ladder to escape.

Fortunately, he figured it out, enough curves.

But Qiu Hongji taught Cheng Yaojin's secret method, and Shi Zheng couldn't stop it.

However, he can push back and extend Cheng Yaojin's stay in Wangxia City.

He said to Cheng Yaojin: "Let me tell you something, to tell the truth, Daoist Qiu is the general leader of an important forging project of ours, and he is currently busy building a large project involving the country. Wait until next month , he's done with his work, I promise to ask him to come and see you every day."

Cheng Yaojin is in a foreign land, he knows the importance, of course he dare not stop him from dealing with important national affairs, he immediately said: "So that's the case, of course the national affairs are the priority, I'm not in a hurry."

Qiu Hongji thought to himself, it seems that the matter of blacksmithing cannot be escaped no matter what.

It doesn't matter, as long as he is guaranteed to build the Seven Star Iron, he will become Cheng Yaojin's "teacher" and will not be used anymore.

Qiu Hongji forced a smile, "Then I will come to see you next month." After finishing speaking, he left gracefully holding his whisk.

Shi Zheng comforted Cheng Yaojin a few words, told him to have a good rest, and left with Yuan Chiyu.

When they had all left, Cheng Huailiang said in a daze: "I clearly feel that Taoist is very powerful. If he was in Nanfangbu Prefecture, he would definitely be respected and called a celestial master. Why did he get here and be ordered to do it?" It’s some blacksmithing work. Just guessing the strength of the king of Fuyao Kingdom makes people feel cold all over.”

"..." Cheng Yaojin's face suddenly changed, "Why is my leg numb again? It's still numb and painful!"

Cheng Huailiang said nervously: "Could it be that the formula you gave just now is a fake formula?!"

"Ah...it's all right..." Cheng Yaojin said awkwardly: "I just kept kneeling and sitting in one position, my normal legs are numb..."

"Father!" Why are you gasping for breath when you speak!

Cheng Yaojin glared, "Hurry up and go to bed, we have to go to Wu's house tomorrow, silk and satin, all kinds of spices, gold, silver, jade and silk will be given away. By the way, let's take a look at his stone lock and see if you can lift it. Gotta move."

Cheng Huailiang whispered, "I always feel that Shisuo is your real goal."

"what?"

"It's nothing, my son has retired, you rest." Cheng Huailiang closed the door and left.

—

The next day, Shi Zheng sent people to the post house, and moved all kinds of classics and seeds Cheng Yaojin brought from the Tang Dynasty into the palace.

Looking at the dazzling array of classics involving all aspects, Shi Zheng also had an idea for the second magic weapon to be forged in his mind.

On Qiu Hongji's side, anyway, he couldn't escape the fate of blacksmithing, and he couldn't escape now.

After returning, he put all his energy into forging, led his apprentices to sweat and work selflessly, and finally finished all the projects before the end of the month.

When Shi Zheng heard the news, he rushed to the forge immediately, and met Qiu Hongji who seemed to be recovering from a serious illness.

After Qiu Hongji built all the components according to the drawings, he also understood what he was building.

It is a refining furnace.

That's right, what Shi Zheng built with the seven-star iron is actually a refining furnace.

Although he is a celestial master, he can only refine the elixir that prolongs life, and forge some sharp weapons such as flying swords, like making magic weapons, which requires a very profound magic circle, which is a secret technique that Sanqing can master proficiently.

He didn't believe that Shi Zheng could do it.

Shi Zheng accepted Qiu Hongji's smelting furnace, and was very satisfied with the texture and firmness, "You have to be professionals, as long as it is made well."

Qiu Hongji tentatively asked, "Do you want to forge weapons?"

Shi Zheng glanced at him, "Do you want to help?"

"No, just asking casually." Qiu Hongji looked away, "You have great ambitions. I am a little Taoist priest, and I am very dull. How can I help you?"

Shi Zheng shook his head and sighed, "Old Qiu, what you said is not honest, you are one of the four celestial masters, and you are well versed in Taoist exercises, so let's take the few tricks you taught to bite gold as an example, and put them in the Yaozu clan." Among the human race, I don’t know how many people want to be jealous. Regardless of monsters or human race, even if you kowtow all the way from the mountain to the top of the mountain, you may not be able to get a word of advice from you.”

Qiu Hongji had a premonition that the more he talked with Shi Zheng, the more dangerous he would be, so he hurriedly carried Cheng Yaojin out, "I'll go see how the Tang guest is doing, and help him recuperate. I'll put the refining furnace on for you." Here it is, I guarantee that there are no quality problems, you just use it, I will go to work on it. If there is something wrong, my seven apprentices can help to fix it."

No matter what happens, don't come to me.

The seven apprentices looked at the master's leaving back and thought to themselves, Master, you are not kind, so you just slipped away like this?

Shi Zheng looked at the seven Taoist disciples and thought for a while, "You seven, since you are Qiu Hongji's favorite disciples, you must also be the head of the school."

Not only that, I am in charge of the five sects alone.Several of them said in their hearts.

But when the tiger falls in Pingyang, no one dares to mention how powerful he is in the outside world.

Shi Zheng pondered for a moment, "Who of you wants to leave Wangxia City as soon as possible and return to the disciples who love you?"

Isn't this nonsense, is there anything you don't want?The seven masters didn't say a word, after all, this is a lice on the monk's head, it's obvious.

"Well, so you don't want to." Shi Zheng turned around and left.

"Don't go! Of course we all miss our disciples and want to go back to see them as soon as possible."

Shi Zheng turned his head and rolled his eyes, "Then are you willing to be a lecturer?"

"lecturer?"

Shi Zheng nodded, "That's right. I've already thought about the topic, "Cultivation, From Beginning to Mastery""

—

Since Cheng Yaojin learned the method of cultivation from Qiu Hongji, he really felt that his body has become much lighter, and the dull feeling brought about by aging is gradually disappearing.

This time I came to Beiju Luzhou, although the journey was difficult, but the reincarnation of the eminent monk was successfully found, I met an expert again, and I learned the magic method.

After more than half a month of recuperating like this, I have become more and more healthy.

It's time to leave Wangxia City and return to Datang.

Qiu Hongji saw Cheng Yaojin's intention to return to the Tang Dynasty, and after the "teaching" was over, he said: "In the past few days, when the Duke meditated, he was absent-minded, is he planning to leave here and return to the Tang Dynasty? "

Cheng Yaojin said: "I have the emperor's life, I can't stay for long."

Qiu Hongji smiled and said his real purpose, "Actually, there is still a lot I can teach you, but since you can't stay for a long time, you can only give up."

Cheng Yaojin felt disappointed and sighed, "What a pity."

"However, it doesn't matter, I can go back to Datang with you."

Cheng Yaojin was startled, "Really?"

"Personally, I am very willing to go back to Datang with you, but I am afraid that His Majesty the King will not let me go."

Cheng Yaojin continued to sigh, "There is no other way."

Can't you just struggle and ask me to go? !Qiu Hongji shouted in his heart, and said calmly on his face: "But you are a distinguished guest from Datang, if you ask me to go back to Datang with you, His Majesty the King will not betray your face."

Cheng Yaojin still had concerns, "After all, you are an important minister of His Majesty the King."

"I'm not an important minister!" Qiu Hongji smiled. "Actually, in Wangxia City, where there are many talented people, I'm still very insignificant. As long as you are willing to speak, His Majesty the King will definitely allow it."

Cheng Yaojin still muttered, "It's not good for me to do this."

Qiu Hongji said in a deep voice, "Forget about worrying, please speak up!"

He can't tell Cheng Yaojin directly that he was "kidnapped" by Shi Zheng, he is a celestial master after all, and he needs to save face.

Seeing Qiu Hongji's earnest expression, Cheng Yaojin let go and said, "Then let me find out what the king has to say."

Qiu Hongji heaved a sigh of relief, and the boulder in his heart seemed to be removed in an instant.

But the next moment, something that shocked him happened.

Suddenly, he heard Shi Zheng's voice.

"Hey, hello, can you hear me?"

Qiu Hongji was startled, thinking that Shi Zheng had come to arrest him, Hun'er almost flew away in fright, but later found out that it was not, "Where is the sound coming from?"

"It's in a tea cup!" Cheng Yaojin pointed to the tea cup on the table, listened carefully, then pointed to the washbasin in the corner of the room and said, "There it is!"

Qiu Hongji walked to the table, leaned over and saw Shi Zheng's image appeared in the tea.

Considering that the quality of the tea water would affect the picture quality, he turned around and walked to the water basin, and saw Shi Zheng's image in the water.

Shi Zheng crossed his hands and put his fingers on the table with a serious expression. The background seemed to be the imperial study of the palace.

At this time, I heard a voice coming from the water, "Your Majesty, after the inspection, your image and voice can be transmitted in the water."

Shi Zheng nodded slightly, and made a gesture of waving his hands, as if the entourage next to him retreated.

Then he adjusted his sitting posture and said solemnly: "Subjects of Wangxia City, I am your king Shi Zheng. From today onwards, I will meet with you often in this way. As long as there is water, you Everyone can see my image and hear my voice."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, and walked to Qiu Hongji without saying a word, "What kind of fairy art is this?"

How did Qiu Hongji know that the spell of sound transmission for thousands of miles does exist, but this one is obviously not.

Is it the ability of magic weapon?But as far as he knows, the existing magic weapon does not have this function.

Could it be that Shi Zheng used the smelting furnace to refine it in the past few days?

At this time, I heard Shi Zheng say again: "The vast majority of the residents in this city are ordinary monsters and humans, and they have no chance to come into contact with the method of cultivation.

Some monsters have to pay a very high price in order to listen to a scripture.

What is it called?This is called knowledge monopoly!Only in this way, we will use our deer antler, our toad liquid, and our fur to enshrine these immortals who master the secret method.

Of course, some people may say that this kind of situation happens everywhere. The so-called "taught the apprentice, starved the master to death." None of the guys dared to raise their heads. If they dared to, they would be considered as cheating on the cook's cooking skills and would be beaten with a shovel.

So there is a problem. If knowledge is not shared or communicated, in the end it will only be complacent, or it will be gradually lost in the long years. This is a loss to the later generations, and it is also a loss to the whole world.

In our country, many things are being tried for the first time, and no one has done it before.

So at this point, I dare to be the first in the world.

Maybe everyone has heard my intentions. That’s right, starting today, I will use this magic weapon to transmit images and sounds through water waves, and ask people to publicly teach you how to practice.

Next, we invite our first lecturer to explain the first lesson of "Cultivation, From Beginner to Master". Come on, everyone welcomes Mr. Anonymous. "

Qiu Hongji saw that the picture in the water had shifted, away from Shi Zheng, and aimed at a man wearing a mask.

Shi Zheng's voice explained from outside the screen: "Mr. Anonymous can't show up for special reasons, please bear with me."

Qiu Hongji almost vomited blood, Mr. Unknown, this is clearly his second apprentice Fengyangzi.

Unfortunately for Shimen, a traitor appeared.

If the secret method of Dharma door cultivation is made public, and everyone in the world knows it, who will respect the teacher and respect the way?

Qiu Hongji suppressed the urge to vomit blood, and wanted to set out to enter the palace to obstruct Fengyangzi.

But at this time, Shi Zheng spoke again, "Maybe someone said again, if everyone can practice, who would respect the teacher? I think it's just the opposite.

The more the reason is debated, the clearer it is, and the higher the cultivation method is, there is no need to hide some old cultivation methods.It's time to announce it to the masses, and then bring out the new.

I believe that all gods and Buddhas are powerful, and they will always have cutting-edge exercises.

If we blindly limit knowledge to a small area, not only will knowledge not be updated, but it will also become a tool for fighting each other.Well, my words are completely finished, Mr. Anonymous, you start. "

Mr. Unknown cleared his throat and said, "Then let's talk about what is called 'spiritual energy'..."

In Wangxia City, there was silence at first, and then it was like a pot exploded, and screams came from every house.

"No way, I worked for the Taoist temple for three years, but I couldn't get into the scripture listening hall!"

"Really or not, can this be listened to without being enslaved by the master?"

"Is it so completely disclosed? I always feel that the wild way I have explored by myself is not right. It seems that it can be corrected by comparison."

Qiu Hongji noticed that Cheng Yao Jinduan poured a glass of water again at some point, and watched with relish, "It's a good speech, and it's easy to understand."

Qiu Hongji hurriedly said: "It's too dangerous for Shi Zheng to do so. It will definitely arouse the wrath of the comprehension world and the heavenly court, ushering in a joint strangulation."

Cheng Yaojin looked at Qiu Hongji and thought to himself, sure enough you are the monopolists that Shi Zheng said, "It shouldn't be so serious, I think cultivation is like martial arts and marksmanship, you can also learn from each other."

Qiu Hongji asked pointedly: "Then your family's martial arts are not all passed on to outsiders, right? There must be a saying that they are passed on from male to female, and from son to son-in-law."

Cheng Yaojin rubbed his chin and said, "So I'm thinking about it. Before I die, I want to write a book and pass down what I know. Besides, I think it's like what Shi Zheng said, he was taught They are all basic methods, which do not affect the status of gods and Buddhas, and it is not possible that even these superficial things cannot be spread, it is really a bit too 'monopoly'."

Cheng Yaojin learned what he learned and used it immediately. The word "monopoly" was used immediately.

"..." Qiu Hongji said in his heart, Shi Zheng, you are really testing in front of Lei Chi, be careful that Jade Emperor and Sanqing are serious about you.

If there is no worry about birth, old age, sickness and death, who would burn incense and worship Buddha and gods?

Shi Zheng, you have touched the core interests of the cultivation sect and the Heavenly Court, did you know that?

Holding a teacup, Cheng Yaojin watched the explanation, and thought, if this explanation was more in-depth than Taoist Qiu, then there was no need to be cheeky to ask the king for Taoist Qiu.

Let Qiu Daochang stay in Wangxia City.

—

On the other side, Shi Zheng and Feng Yangzi ended the "live broadcast" and closed the mirror of the magic weapon One Thought.

The one-thought mirror is the first magic weapon that Shi Zheng forged in the past few days.

The master led the door to practice in person. When forging the magic weapon, Shi Zheng deeply realized what the "talent" mentioned by the Lingbao Tianzun was.

Throwing the raw material Sun Shadow Glazed Rock into the furnace and forging it with the golden fire of washing industry, the talisman array appeared in front of his eyes, which was closely connected with his own intention.

The clearer his conception of the magic weapon, the stronger the power of the talisman array, the faster the magic weapon can be refined and formed.

The one-thought mirror only transmits images and sounds through the water surface, it is not an offensive magic weapon, and it is not difficult to refine.

Even a novice like Shi Zheng can complete it smoothly.

And the first thing he did with the One Thought Mirror was to let his subjects know their monarch and give the first public class within Wangxia City.

Of course, the content of future open classes is not limited to cultivation methods.

In case someone is not interested, we will also arrange to share other knowledge about fish farming and farming.

If the trial is successful in Wangxia City, it will be gradually extended to the other two cities.

Before deciding to ask Fengyangzi to explain the method of cultivation, Fengyangzi once asked him, "Will all monsters and humans learn it without screening, will the bad guys learn it too?"

"At least no matter whether they are good or bad, they swim in the river, because they know how to avoid water, so they won't be drowned. At least women and children have strength, so they won't die under the knife during the war. At least we monsters, Living in my own small world, some people want to be enslaved, and they have the strength to resist. As for morality, I don't think some gods have better character than monsters and ordinary humans."

So who, who and who, bah, he's still a god, so he won't name them.

After hearing Shi Zheng's words, Feng Yangzi murmured: "Hearing what you say, I can feel better. I hope Master won't beat me to death."

"He wants to kill you, so you tell him to come to me." Shi Zheng said to Feng Yangzi: "You have spoken very well, let's continue at this time tomorrow."

Wait for Feng Yangzi to leave.

Shi Zheng shook his shoulders, frowned, and muttered in his heart.

Are you playing a bit too big?
