Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 75: Pig Demon Ning Meng
On the first day of January, the warm sunshine shone on the flower garden in the courtyard. Lin Qianxing, holding a warm jade in his hand, was planting wild ginseng obtained from Hu San and medicinal herb seeds purchased in the city.
Lin Qianxing's planting method was very crude, which was to just dig a hole, bury the things in it, and then take out the warm jade that he had filled with vitality energy using the "Cui Ling Jue" and directly pour the vitality energy into it.
Of course, although it is rough, Lin Qianxing's planting method is more efficient than conventional planting.
The seeds that he infused with vital energy sprouted in less than half a day, and the wild ginseng that Hu San found also became healthy again from its wilted state.
Lin Qianxing felt deeply moved. After all, it was a method used by Qigong practitioners. Metaphysical farming was indeed more effective than applying fertilizer.
Mei'er was lying on the pavilion basking in the sun, looking at Lin Qianxing somewhat sleepily.
It actually wanted to help, but Lin Qianxing wouldn't let it, saying that it would look ugly with mud all over its body, so it could only watch here.
After densely planting the medicinal seeds all over the flower bed , Lin Qianxing stood up, looked at his results, and smiled with satisfaction.
"My Lord, my Lord, are you home?"
Suddenly, Hu San's voice came from outside the door.
Lin Qianxing glanced at the courtyard gate, and his spiritual power moved slightly, and the gate was opened directly, revealing Hu San who was standing outside the gate in a somewhat restrained manner.
"Come in!" Lin Qianxing said.
Hu San nodded and walked in holding a bundle of medicinal herbs tied with vines in his mouth.
"Sir, these are the medicinal herbs I collected recently. What do you think of them?" Hu San came close to Lin Qianxing, put down the herbs, and asked Lin Qianxing.
Ever since Hu San gave Lin Qianxing some wild ginseng last time, Lin Qianxing asked Hu San how he found the medicinal herbs.
Then Lin Qianxing learned that Hu San had a keen sense of smell and could easily find various medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests. However, he would generally ignore ordinary herbs if they were of young age and would just keep them there. He would only pick and swallow spiritual herbs directly to increase his cultivation.
So Lin Qianxing asked Hu San to help find medicinal herbs for planting.
Of course, it was not in vain. Lin Qianxing settled with Hu San according to the market price.
After picking up the herbs Hu San had found and examining them with the Qi-Viewing Technique, Lin Qianxing nodded and said, "They are all very good herbs. Thank you for your trouble."
As he spoke, Lin Qianxing also took out a Qi and Blood Pill and gave it to Hu San.
"It's no trouble to do things for you, sir." Hu San said after swallowing the Qi and Blood Pill in one gulp.
Lin Qianxing smiled and did not comment.
Although painting a rosy picture can also motivate Hu San to help with things, he still prefers exchanging benefits.
In this way, the relationship between the two parties can be made stronger as the transaction progresses, and most importantly, it can reduce the impact of cause and effect.
Although he doesn't fully understand the essence of cause and effect now, he is still a spiritual practitioner to some extent, so it is always better to avoid it.
At this moment, Hu San seemed to have remembered something and said, "Oh, sir , didn't you ask me to pay attention to the major events happening around me? When I went to look for herbs, I heard that the pig demon in Yunshan seemed to have turned into a demon recently. It seemed to be recruiting the surrounding demons to become its subordinates and wanted to establish itself as king?"
"Declaring himself king?" Lin Qianxing frowned, puzzled, "What does it want to do? Isn't it afraid of the Monster Catcher?"
"I'm not sure about that." Hu San shook his head.
There was some thoughtfulness in Lin Qianxing's eyes.
Suddenly changed, and then gathered the monsters, preparing to establish himself as the Monster King?
Could it be that it was also possessed by another body or became an anchor point?
But with such a big move, isn’t it afraid of the Monster Catchers?
Or is it that this pig demon is so arrogant because he doesn't even know about the existence of the Demon Catching Bureau?
However, Lin Qianxing did not delve into this issue further, as it had nothing to do with him anyway.
That pig demon is too arrogant, so naturally someone will punish it.
…
Yunshan.
A giant brown wild boar, about ten feet tall, was lying on the ground and being tickled by a little hedgehog.
It was the pig demon that Hu San mentioned.
But it is no longer the original pig demon.
Ten days ago, this pig demon saw a thousand-year-old spiritual herb on the edge of a cliff. When it went to eat it, it lost its footing and fell off the cliff, dying instantly.
After the pig demon died, Ning Meng from another world took over its body.
Ning Meng was an ordinary citizen of the Great Zhu Kingdom in his previous life. Because he was born with supernatural powers, he had some fame in the local area. When the court was in turmoil and the people were suffering, he was instigated by his fellow villagers and rose up in rebellion with his brothers.
Relying on his unparalleled divine power, he really made a name for himself.
Unfortunately, in the final battle between him and another rebel king, he fell into a trap. He charged too fiercely, cut off contact with his subordinates, and fell into the encirclement of thousands of troops alone. In desperation, he killed three thousand soldiers by himself and died of exhaustion.
Perhaps God was unwilling to let him fail like this, so he gave him a chance to live again and come to this world.
However, what made him somewhat dissatisfied was that he was actually a pig demon in this life.
After spending two days adapting to his identity, Ning Meng did not choose to stay in peace. He decided to regroup his men and make a career in this new world.
He set a small goal for himself, first to conquer the Dayu Kingdom and then to become a demon emperor.
The goal is set, but achieving it is a bit difficult.
The main problem is that there are not enough manpower... um... not enough demonic hands.
Ning Meng asked the hedgehog demon who was tickling him, "Ning Ji, how many little demons have you summoned?"
"My king, as of noon today, you already have thirty-four little demons under your command." The hedgehog demon Ning Ji replied.
Ning Meng seemed a little depressed when he heard the voice.
He had to travel over 200 miles to recruit the thirty-four little demons using threats and inducements.
And more than half of them are vegetarians.
Like some rabbit monster, flying squirrel monster or something like that, its head is not even as big as a human's. Although it has some intelligence, it can't even speak clearly. What use are they?
After all, there are still too few monsters in this world.
Ning Meng felt that he had taken the wrong path. He should not have chosen to recruit monsters, but should have first conquered some villages and towns and recruited the people there to help him accomplish his goals.
Although he is a demon, as long as he knows how to control his subordinates, he doesn't have to worry about the racial differences.
Thinking of this, Ning Meng felt that his mind was opened up.
"Well, you did a good job. Gather all the monsters. I have something important to announce." Ning Meng said to Ning Ji.
"Yes, my king." Ning Ji jumped off Ning Meng's back, then skipped away.
Looking at the little hedgehog's happy expression, Ning Meng felt a little impressed by the innocence of monsters.
Ning Ji was originally just a nameless little hedgehog with no status among the monsters in the forest, but Ning Meng gave it a name and made it a military advisor.
Then Ning Ji became extremely loyal to Ning Meng.
But in fact, Ning Meng didn't care too much about this little hedgehog. He could just find a smart monster or human and discard the little hedgehog. He didn't care at all.
As for saying that he is heartless and ungrateful?
A kind man cannot command an army, and a good man cannot go to war.
He has been in power for many years, and his character of valuing friendship and loyalty has long been lost.
In his opinion, the most important thing is the benefits that the other party can bring to him.
Soon, Ning Ji called all the little demons that the pig demon had summoned during this period.
There were all kinds of little demons standing together in the cave. Some of them couldn't speak clearly and could only make some noises.
Looking at this mess of little monsters, Ning Meng was a little speechless.
But he didn't expect these little demons to help him succeed.
Ning Meng came to a high place, looked at a group of little monsters and said: "Everyone, we are blessed by heaven and earth, and have been born with intelligence, but we have wasted our time in the mountains and forests. What a waste! I have been thinking in the mountains and forests for more than 200 years, and finally I have gained something. Why don't we go out of the mountains, start a career, build a monster country, protect the monsters, and make the monster race as prosperous as the human race?"
"My king, how can we establish a demon kingdom with so few demons?" asked an old deer demon.
Ning Meng replied: "We can first enslave the human race and make demons the most important. When the other demons see the foundation we have laid, they will come to us and we will establish our own demon country."
"But my king, we are just little monsters. Can we defeat those people?" the old deer monster asked again.
"I know your cultivation is low, but don't you have me? When we go into battle, you can just cheer for me." Ning Meng said.
"My king..." The old deer demon opened his mouth again.
"Hmm?" Ning Meng glanced at the deer demon coldly, scaring it so much that it swallowed back the words it was about to ask and dared not say anything more.
Seeing that the old deer demon stopped talking, Ning Meng continued, "I have surveyed the surrounding situation. In my opinion, Yushan City has an excellent terrain. It is backed by mountains and surrounded by water. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It should be the cornerstone of our demon country. You should prepare food and grass, march at midnight, and capture Yushan City at night to kill him by surprise!!"
"My king, what is midnight?" suddenly, a gray rabbit demon asked.
Ning Meng was interrupted by this and couldn't say any more encouraging words. He could only say, "Anyway, you guys just follow me when the time comes."
The monsters suddenly realized.
Time soon came to midnight, and Ning Meng led more than thirty monsters to march towards Yushan City.
But this team seems a little loose.
Although creatures like rabbits and flying squirrels are monsters, their speed is obviously not as fast as Ning Meng, deer monsters, leopard monsters, etc.
It greatly slowed down the marching speed.
Ning Meng had no choice but to let the deer monsters carry these little monsters along.
In this way, at first glance, the marching team looks like a family going on a spring outing.
Ning Meng has given up now. Anyway, once he captures Yushan City, he will immediately replace these messy monsters with humans, so he doesn't care about any of this anymore.
Just when Ning Meng's army was about to reach Yushan City, he discovered a man in white clothes in front of him.
The man had a handsome face and a white cat squatting on his shoulder. He looked like a weak and elegant young man.
Ning Meng was somewhat envious of this appearance. He wished he could be reborn in a body like this.
However, what puzzled Ning Meng was that the other party did not show any intention of running away or hiding when he saw them.
Could it be a master?
"Who are you, kid? Why are you blocking my way?" Ning Meng asked tentatively.
