Chapter 168: Tang Seng's Correct Way of Eating
"Wu, Wukong!" Tang Seng had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that his body went limp and he fell off his horse.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng's faces also changed drastically. They didn't care about Tang Seng at all. They each picked up their weapons and protected themselves in front of them. Looking at the dark masses of demons and monsters around them, they were terrified and their palms were sweating.
The Monkey King is no exception!
Unlike the monkeys who had just escaped from the Five Elements Mountain, although the Monkey King was in Lingshan, because of his innate magical powers, he had a general understanding of the situation in Xiniu Hezhou.
He could recognize most of the famous demon kings in Xiniu Hezhou.
At this moment, his eyes swept from left to right, and the Monkey King's scalp numbed and his hands and feet became weak.
On the distant mountain top, with the Bull Demon King as the center, eight demon kings are lined up on each side.
There were eleven monkeys that the Monkey King could name.
Ruyi Immortal, Red Lotus Demon King, Sai Taisui, Yellow-toothed Old Elephant, Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle, Bull Demon King, Iron Fan Princess, Shura Ghost King, White-eyed Wolf King, Ghost-faced Hulu!
Among them, the Golden-Winged Roc and the Bull Demon King are the strongest, but the rest are all powerful demon kings in Xiniu Hezhou!
The Monkey King still had the courage to fight against these two people.
But when these sixteen were put together, the Monkey King had to suppress his fear and not run away directly.
That plague-ridden Bi Ma Wen!
He caused such a big disaster, but he let me take the blame for him!
Damn it!
If I had known this earlier, I would have come back to seek the scriptures some time later! !
The Monkey King gnashed his teeth in hatred and felt extremely regretful.
He had been eavesdropping on the monkey all the way, so he naturally knew what was going on!
Obviously, the Bull Demon King came to avenge Red Boy!
The Bull Demon King must have been planning this for some time!
When the monkey went to Poer Cave to fetch water from the abortion spring, he did not see the Immortal Ruyi.
I think by that time, Ruyi Zhenxian had already joined up with Niu Mowang, just waiting to ambush them here.
I just don’t know how this Bull Demon King gathered all these demon kings together!
Apart from anything else, the Golden-Winged Roc and the Yellow-Toothed Elephant killed the Lion King, who had the best relationship with the Bull Demon King among the Seven Great Sages, and seized the Lion King's territory. They must have a deep-seated hatred with the Bull Demon King!
I didn't expect that they would join forces!
The Monkey King is a monster who was born thousands of years after the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods. He has a very poor background and is a grassroots monster who has never even heard of the names of the two sects of Chan and Jie. He does not know the origins of the Golden-winged Roc, the Yellow-fanged Elephant, the Bull Demon King and the Jie sect.
Naturally , he couldn't understand why the Bull Demon King could collude with the Yellow-toothed Old Elephant and the Golden-winged Roc.
That’s right!
The Monkey King's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of something.
What about the Six Dings and Six Jias and the Five Directions Jie Di?
They realized that something was not right here, so they should have asked Guanyin for help, right?
The Monkey King used his innate magical powers and listened attentively.
Next second.
His expression froze.
"Little Mao God, where do you want to go!"
In the sky a hundred miles away, a middle-aged Taoist with a red golden crown on his head, a black and white robe, a tall stature, a face as hard as a melon, and eyes as bright as stars stood in front of Wufang Jie Di.
Standing beside him were seven beautiful women with fair faces, red lips, long eyebrows and cicada-shaped hair.
The seven women were all wearing green-sleeved yellow skirts of different colors, which were as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as a feather. When the breeze blew, the yellow skirts swayed, revealing their shoulders, which were looming, like surging waves and a sudden reveal of spring.
As soon as the middle-aged Taoist opened his mouth, the seven women started laughing and shouted in unison: "Little Mao God, where are you going!"
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord of Huanghua Temple!
The spider spirit of Pansi Cave!
The Monkey King determined their identities almost instantly and his heart sank.
The Bull Demon King obviously also knew that the Six Dings, Six Jias and Five Directions Jie Di were protecting Tang Monk in secret day and night, so he made arrangements early on and asked the Hundred-Eyed Demon King and the Spider Spirits to stop them and prevent them from asking for help.
"Monster, how dare you be so presumptuous!" The golden-headed Jie Di shouted angrily, took out a demon-subduing pestle and sacrificed it.
Rays of Buddha's light surged with great force, but it stopped as soon as it flew into the middle of the air.
White silk threads as thick as thumbs were tightly wrapped around it, making it unable to move.
The other end of the silk thread is connected to the belly buttons of the spider spirits, which are so white that people can't open their eyes.
"Spider silk?!" The golden-headed Jie Di's eyes focused, and he wanted to take back the demon-subduing pestle, but it was too late.
Soso Soso——
Spider silk continuously shot out from the belly button , more and more, wrapping the demon-subduing pestle layer by layer.
Golden-headed Jie Di found that the connection between himself and the Demon-Subduing Pestle was becoming weaker and weaker, until it was completely cut off. He could only watch helplessly as the Demon-Subduing Pestle was dragged away by spider silk like prey.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly lit up.
However, it was the other four Jiedis who noticed that something was wrong and decisively helped, either by offering their glass beads, golden swords, or bows and arrows.
There was even another one who simply cast a spell and summoned a ball of golden Buddha fire, which burned the spider silk wrapped around the demon-subduing pestle into ashes, and then spread the fire along the spider silk towards the spider spirits.
The spider spirits were horrified and hurriedly used another trick of theirs: "Brother, save me!"
clang!
A sword sounded, cutting the spider silk and stopping the spread of the Buddha fire.
The spider spirits have mediocre cultivation levels, but they are able to occupy the Pansi Cave and the Zhuo Gu Spring next to it.
They rely on their senior brother, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord leaped forward, waving the sword in his hand repeatedly to block the gems, golden knives, arrows, and demon-subduing pestles.
Compared with the old monsters who have been famous for a long time like the Bull Demon King and the Monkey King, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King is a rising star, but the reason why he could make such a big name and occupy such a large territory is because of his own strength!
"Junior sister, you two hold the line! Watch how I deal with these hairy gods!"
Facing the Five Jiedis, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King did not retreat but advanced instead, choosing to fight one against five, and was not at a disadvantage at all.
It's over now!
The Monkey King clenched his fists and felt even more regretful.
He was gifted with supernatural powers and could listen to the movements of the three realms. He should not have been surrounded so easily.
However, ever since he replaced the monkey, he has been immersed in the ecstasy of being about to achieve enlightenment. Knowing that the Six Dings, Six Jias and Five Directions Jie Di are protecting him in secret, he has become less vigilant.
In addition, he focused all his energy on pleasing Tang Seng, the reincarnation of his master's disciple, and did not notice anything unusual in the canyon.
It was not until I went in that I realized something was wrong.
It was too late to escape.
The Monkey King took a deep breath to calm himself down, forced a smile, and said with a cupped hand, "Brother Niu, long time no see!"
“Bah!” Bull Demon King glared and cursed: “You damned monkey! You caused my son to be captured by the Heavenly Court, and you still have the nerve to call me big brother!”
"Brother Niu."
The Monkey King shamelessly shouted again, and said aggrievedly: "This matter really can't be blamed on me! At that time, I asked the prison god to come down to earth, just to ask him to help me rescue my master, but I never thought that he would insist on locking up his nephew Red Boy in the prison! I spoke up to stop him, but he didn't listen at all, and there was nothing I could do!"
"However, Brother Niu, don't worry. Red Boy didn't do anything too bad. Although he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, he didn't suffer much..."
"You rascal monkey!" Princess Iron Fan interrupted the Monkey King and shouted, "My son was originally the Holy Infant King of the Fire Cloud Cave in the Dry Pine Valley on the No. 1 Mountain. He was free and easy, but now he has been reduced to a prisoner. How dare you say that he has not suffered?"
"Sister-in-law, if you don't believe me, I will go to heaven in a while and ask the Jade Emperor to show mercy and return my nephew to you. How do you think?"
The Monkey King just wanted to get through this difficult time, so he patted his chest with solemn promises and wrote blank checks.
His acting skills were beyond doubt, and he made Princess Iron Fan feel moved. Her expression relaxed, and she was no longer as gritting her teeth and full of murderous intent as before.
The golden-winged Roc next to him raised his eyebrows and showed displeasure, but before he could say anything, he was grabbed by the old yellow-fanged elephant next to him, who shook his head slightly, signaling him not to mess around.
The golden-winged Roc snorted coldly and gave up.
The Bull Demon King naturally noticed this and quickly stopped Princess Iron Fan: "Madam, don't be fooled by this monkey!"
Today's game is built around him.
If Princess Iron Fan really believed what Sun Wukong said and agreed to let Tang Seng and his disciples go, he would become the second Sun Wukong, and all the reputation he had accumulated over the years would be destroyed!
The Bull Demon King said, "Madam, before my son was captured and taken to heaven, this monkey was unable to stop the prison god. How can he convince the prison god to release him now? This is just a delaying tactic!"
"Yes, sister-in-law."
Immortal Ruyi also echoed, "This monkey was fickle and untrustworthy all along. How can you believe what he says? Instead of begging those damned hairy gods for mercy, why not follow our previous plan and capture the four of them and exchange them with the Heavenly Court!"
Princess Iron Fan also calmed down.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back!
Things have come to this point, Tang Seng and his three disciples have to catch the enemy whether they want to or not, there is absolutely no reason for them to give up halfway!
Princess Iron Fan pointed at the monkey and cursed, "You clever monkey! You damned evil creature! You must have tricked my son in the first place! I will avenge my poor child today!"
Princess Iron Fan drew the two green swords from her waist, jumped down from the mountain, and slashed at the Monkey King with her swords.
Good opportunity!
The Monkey King was overjoyed upon seeing this, and hurriedly took out his iron weapon from his ear, waved it, and it became as thick as a bowl, and greeted Princess Iron Fan.
In the original time and space, Princess Iron Fan was able to fight with the monkey for most of the day. The main reason was that the monkey felt guilty about what happened to Red Boy and did not kill him. Instead, he wanted Princess Iron Fan to vent her anger and resentment before lending her the palm-leaf fan.
But the Monkey King didn’t have such thoughts!
He just wanted to capture Princess Iron Fan as a hostage so that he could escape unscathed.
Buzz!
As soon as Sui Xin Tie Gang Bing was deployed, he used all his strength. Rays of golden light lingered on the stick, bringing up a strong wind that whistled and tore through the void.
when!
As soon as the weapons collided, Princess Iron Fan felt pain in the palm of her hand, her arms were numb, and she could hardly hold the Qingfeng sword.
The Monkey King was relentless and started to fight with his iron-clad soldiers, vowing to seize this only chance to capture Princess Iron Fan in one fell swoop.
when!
There was another sound of weapons clashing, and the Qingfeng sword flew out of his hand.
Princess Iron Fan staggered and almost fell to the ground, her face pale with fear.
However, when the weapons collided again, both sides were deadlocked.
"Madam, you are no match for this monkey. I will catch him and vent my anger on you!"
The Bull Demon King knew that the monkeys were very powerful, so he rushed over as soon as Princess Iron Fan made her move. Finally, at the critical moment, he used a mixed iron stick to stop the Monkey King who was chasing him relentlessly.
A cow and a monkey fought each other in an instant.
From the ground to the sky and then to the clouds.
The mixed iron rods and the free iron soldiers kept colliding with each other, making loud noises and dispersing the clouds in the sky.
Both of them practiced the Eight-Nine Profound Art.
In terms of attainments, Bull Demon King is slightly better.
But the Monkey King was descended from the Six-Eared Macaque, which was obviously a better fit.
He was twisting and turning in mid-air, wielding an iron weapon as fast as the wind, and combining his natural supernatural powers with his agility to the extreme.
In comparison, the Bull Demon King seemed a little clumsy, but he was experienced in combat, his moves were simple and natural, and he was powerful and strong. He didn't play any fancy tricks with the Monkey King, but just followed his own rhythm and pressed forward step by step.
The other demon kings watched for a while and saw that it was difficult to determine the winner between the two in a short period of time.
The old yellow-fanged elephant said, "Let's do it too, lest there be more trouble." He also warned the golden-winged Peng Eagle, "Second brother, you stay here for the Great Sage Pingtian, don't let the monkey escape."
After saying that, the old elephant with yellow teeth blew up a gust of black wind and flew towards Tang Seng and his disciples.
"Why is this happening!" Zhu Bajie panicked.
He knew the inside story of the journey to the West, and knew that all of this was a conspiracy set up by the gods and Buddhas of the three realms. However, the scene before him did not seem like what should have happened in the conspiracy!
Seeing the old yellow-fanged elephant coming towards him, Zhu Bajie was forced to fight back.
The two sides exchanged a few moves, but when the old monster Huangya swung out his elephant trunk, Zhu Bajie was defeated instantly. He was directly wrapped up by the elephant's trunk and fell limply.
Then, the little demons rushed up and tied him up.
Sha Seng wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by the Asura Ghost King halfway and soon followed in Zhu Bajie's footsteps.
The Six Dings and Six Jias, the Day-Wandering God and the Night-Wandering God who were hiding in the dark were not spared either. They were directly pulled out by several other demon kings and became prisoners.
The Monkey King had planned to escape in the first place, and seeing this, he had no intention of continuing the fight. He swung his Iron Rod with all his might and hit the mixed iron stick. With the recoil force, he turned into a ray of golden light and fled to the west.
"You monkey, where are you going!" The golden-winged Roc shook its body, transformed into its original form, flapped its wings and chased after him.
The Monkey King heard the noise, but the speed difference between the two sides was too great.
In just a moment, the two eagle claws of the golden-winged Roc firmly grasped the Monkey King.
The Monkey King was horrified and tried to use his transformation skills to escape, but it was of no avail. He was grabbed by the golden-winged Roc and thrown into the dust, ending up like Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing.
On the other hand, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King, with the cooperation of the spider spirits, captured the Five Jie Di.
The Bull Demon King was overjoyed, and called his men to erect two rows of pillars on the top of the mountain. He then tied up the monkey, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and a group of gods and Buddhas one by one on top of them.
He handed Tang Seng to the Golden Winged Peng Eagle and reminded him, "Golden Winged Peng Eagle, Tang Seng's flesh is not so easy to eat! You need to think it through!"
"Shut up!" The golden-winged Peng eagle said impatiently, "Since you have promised to hand over this Tang Monk to me, then just hand it over to me. Whether I eat it or not, whether I dare to eat it or not, is my business and has nothing to do with you!"
"Golden-winged Roc!"
Before the Bull Demon King could say anything, the Immortal Ruyi was already enraged by the Golden Winged Dapeng's arrogance and rudeness, and shouted in a stern voice: "My elder brother is kindly reminding you, don't be ungrateful!"
The golden-winged eagle glanced at him and said coldly, "Even if I don't know what's good for me, so what?"
"you!"
Immortal Ruyi's face flushed red, and he wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Bull Demon King: "Enough. He is right. Since I have already agreed to give him this Tang Monk, it is his business to decide how to deal with him. I should not butt in."
The golden-winged Roc then put away the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and blew a breath of evil air towards Tang Seng.
Tang Seng only felt his eyelids become heavy and he fell into a deep sleep.
The White-Eyed Wolf King said, "Golden-winged Peng Eagle, I want a share of Tang Monk's meat!"
The Asura Ghost King said: "And me!"
The spider spirits also shouted hurriedly: "There are us too!"
The Bull Demon King gathered these demon kings together not only based on their friendship, but also on real interests.
The golden-winged Roc, the yellow-fanged old elephant, the white-eyed wolf king, the Asura ghost king, the hundred-eyed demon king, and the spider spirit all want a bite of Tang Monk's flesh.
Among them, the Golden-winged Roc and the Yellow-toothed Elephant brothers were the strongest, so they took the lion's share and only agreed to give one piece to the others.
What the Red Lotus Demon King wants is territory.
The Bull Demon King has agreed to hand over the area of Bibotan that originally belonged to the All Saints Dragon King to the Red Lotus Demon King.
Sai Taisui wanted a beauty, Shura Ghost King wanted water from the netherworld spring, and Ghost Face Hulu wanted thirty-six pairs of boys and girls...
The Bull Demon King also agreed to all of them and had already done so in advance.
"You are indispensable." The golden-winged Roc snorted coldly, with three parts of arrogance and seven parts of sarcasm in his tone, as if he was giving alms to a beggar.
Such an attitude immediately aroused the indignation of the demon kings, and some of them already showed ferocious looks on their faces.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, the old yellow-fanged elephant asked, "Second brother, I've often heard people say that eating a bite of Tang Monk's flesh can make you immortal. Is there a rule for eating Tang Monk?"
When the monsters heard this, they all became interested and looked at the golden-winged Roc in unison.
"Of course there is." The Golden-winged Peng Eagle enjoyed the attention of everyone and said, "First of all, we must not scare Tang Monk, otherwise his meat will become sour and eating it will have no effect."
"Secondly, this Tang Monk's meat cannot be eaten raw, nor can it be roasted or boiled. It must be steamed. And it must be carefully prepared, without killing or cutting, and must be steamed alive with all its parts intact."
"Is this Tang Monk so troublesome to eat?" Red Spider couldn't help but speak.
Although the other monsters didn't say anything, their expressions showed that they all had the same idea.
"This Tang Monk's meat is not like that of a foolish man. It can be eaten as a meal. This is a rare thing in the Three Realms. It needs to be carefully prepared before it can be eaten!"
The golden-winged Roc snorted, with an expression that said "you are a bunch of ignorant bumpkins", which made the monsters so angry that they wanted to kill him.
"Anything else? Just tell me!" Blue Spider urged.
The golden-winged Peng eagle said, "The third and most important point is that the meat of Tang Monk must be eaten when the sky is cloudy to be effective, and you must stay relaxed when eating it. Otherwise, it will still not have the effect of immortality."
The monsters were stunned and felt that they had learned something new.
There are so !
No wonder it has such miraculous effects!
The Bull Demon King didn't care about these things. He wanted to rescue his son from the Heavenly Prison as soon as possible. His eyes swept over the captives and finally stopped on the Day and Night Wandering God.
"You two, go to the Heavenly Palace now and tell the prison god to release Red Boy within one day, otherwise..."
Bang!
The Bull Demon King opened his right hand, took out a whip, and hit the monkey hard.
"Don't blame me for being rude to his good brother!"
The Monkey King: “…”
I, I...I am innocent!
Even if you beat me to death, he won't care!
