Volume 20: Mysterious Divine Weapons Chapter 036: Complete Merit
In just a few breaths, Shi Gong had already walked to the bottom of the Xuanbing Tower. He was only a few steps away from the Xuanbing Tower and it seemed that he could take away the Tiger Soul immediately.
The trap that the evil people were expecting did not appear. Instead, they saw Emiya pressing forward on Hupo step by step. Some of the impatient ones shouted, "Stop!"
Then he jumped up, waving the weapon in his hand, trying to force Emiya back.
But it was this one action that caused the four spiritual generals guarding the Xuanbing Tower to awaken.
These four spiritual generals are all demon beasts that shone brightly in the Battle of the Gods.
One of them is Baoxiang Mingwang, a spiritual beast from the Western Buddhist Kingdom. Relying on his profound magical powers, he attempted to enter the Central Plains from the east and compete with King Zhou of Shang and King Wu of Zhou for the world. However, not long after , he was defeated by Jiang Ziya.
Then Jiang Ziya led him back to the right path. After the Conferred God Ceremony was over, he volunteered to guard the Conferred God Platform to make up for his mistakes.
The second one is the Monkey General, who was originally an iron monkey with arms full of air. He used to dominate the mountains, but he was self-righteous and claimed to be great. Later, he was enlightened by Taibai Jinxing and came out of the mountains to help King Wen of Zhou break out of the prison of King Zhou of Shang.
Unfortunately, his violent temper is too strong and needs to be refined for a thousand years, so he was arranged here.
The third is Jinpeng Taisui , who was originally Lingxiao Jinpeng. He once killed the Yinshan centipede monster and made great contributions. However, because he was too brave and ferocious in battle and had no restraint, he accidentally injured tens of thousands of civilians, and his contributions did not outweigh his faults.
Therefore, he was punished to guard the Fengxie Palace to make up for his mistake.
The last one is the Six-Armed Spider King, but this one is a little inferior compared to the previous three.
He was originally a minion of the spider spirit under the nine-tailed fox. He was foolish by nature and allowed himself to be commanded. Later, he sneaked into Zhou camp and stole the Luoshu. He accidentally opened it and suddenly became enlightened and able to distinguish between good and evil.
Later, not only did he return the Luoshu, but he was also killed for informing the Zhou army.
Jiang Ziya took pity on his loyalty and bravery, so he specially summoned his soul into the formation and even created a steel body for the six-armed spider king.
Of course, it’s not just the Six-Armed Spider King who enjoys this treatment.
In fact, the bodies of Baoxiang Mingwang, Jinpeng Taisui, and Linghou Dajiangjun are also made of steel.
It's not their original body at all.
The reason why Jiang Ziya did this was very simple, mainly because these guys had not become immortals.
Although they performed brilliantly in the Battle of Conferred Gods, they were not immortals after all, and could not reach the state of immortality by consuming air.
If their real bodies were allowed in without any extra food, they would probably starve to death after a few hundred years. What's the point of guarding the place?
Of course, the above is just Emiya's guess. Emiya is not sure whether they can practice fasting.
Anyway, Emiya could see that the bodies of these four people were not made of flesh and blood, but steel bodies made by Jiang Ziya that could last for thousands of years.
Then, Jiang Ziya let the souls, or the spirits, of these four guys enter into it, and ordered people to take good care of their bodies.
Of course, there is no need to mention the Six-Armed Spider King, as his body had already been cracked to pieces.
But in Emiya's opinion, it was more likely that the bodies of the other three were also gone.
After all, Jiang Ziya ’s intention was to prevent Hu Po from ever seeing the light of day again, so he probably hadn’t thought of letting Bao Xiang Ming Wang and the others see the light of day again.
These guys didn't know whether they were fooled by Jiang Ziya or had seen through the truth of the matter, but they were powerless to resist Jiang Ziya and could only obey him obediently.
No matter what the situation was, they finally entered here and guarded the four directions.
Their spirits usually reside inside these steel bodies and have been sleeping ever since. They only woke up when they felt someone wanted to release Tiger Soul.
The Monkey General's eyes emitted a brilliant light. He stretched out one hand, grabbed the evil man who was trying to attack Emiya, and tore the unlucky guy in half with a strong tear.
Then, the Monkey General kicked his legs and pounced towards the evil people.
He wanted to kill all the humans who rushed into the Eight Directions Sealing Evil Palace and protect Hu Po.
As soon as the Monkey General made a move, the other three spirit generals also took action. Baoxiang Mingwang, Jinpeng Taisui, and Six-armed Spider King simultaneously eliminated this group of evil people and rushed up without hesitation.
Who made this group of people closest to Hu Po?
The righteous heroes had already retreated to the corner under the command of Emiya.
The four spiritual generals rushed into the crowd and started killing people indiscriminately. Each of them attacked without hesitation. They were just demonic beasts that had once stirred up trouble in the world and did not care about human lives at all.
However, within just a few breaths, the evil people were killed by surprise.
But the evil people were not all wimps. After their initial surprise, they quickly organized their people and started rework.
A group of golden-armored bandits set their sights on General Monkey.
A group of people from Dilong Village began to deal with the Six-Armed Spider King.
The people from the Blood Zen Sect and Baoxiang Mingwang were in a fierce battle.
The others started to attack Taisui.
However, this group of people are not fools. They know that they cannot bear all the pressure by themselves, so while fighting, they move towards the direction of the righteous heroes.
As soon as the righteous heroes saw their actions, they knew that these guys were not human beings and wanted to drag them down.
While cursing, they moved to other places and prepared to attack.
After all, although this place is big, it is nothing to their group of people.
After seeing this, Shirou did not stop it.
After all, he is not the nanny of the righteous heroes. He has protected this group of people more than once along the way. Without his help, at least two-thirds of the righteous heroes would have been killed in their quest to get here.
In the original plot, there were thousands of righteous heroes gathered in Babao Villa.
As a result, various disasters occurred along the way, and waves of people died. In the end, only less than 300 people arrived here.
But now, there are at least nine hundred people here, which is much better than the original plot.
Soon, the evil people's plan to divert the disaster to others was successful.
Under the pressure of the evil people, the righteous heroes had to join the battle.
The forces of good and evil began to join forces to deal with the four spiritual generals.
Among them, Zhuo Bufan defeated the Monkey General with the Qiankun Ring, the inherited treasure of his sect.
The Qiankun Ring was forged by Jiang Ziya using Taoist magic. It contained infinite power from the mutual assistance of yin and yang. It had an absolute upper hand over the steel body made by Jiang Ziya.
After the Monkey General was defeated, a monkey's soul left his body and entered the eight-colored light in the sky and disappeared.
It can be considered that the merits are fulfilled and he has ascended to heaven.
However, Emiya believed that when the great monkey general returned to the fairy world, he would be in for a big surprise.
Because the fairyland at this time is no longer the fairyland of that time.
It’s better not to go back.
