Journey to the West: Yinhu Zhenjun

Chapter 219 Seeing Xuanwu in Xuanwu City, the Great Sage said the Great Sage

The five people continued walking for about three to five days. When they arrived at noon, they saw a city in the distance.

There is a plaque on the city, which reads:
【Xuanwu City】

Nezha was surprised and asked: "I have never heard that there is a human city-state in Luzhou, Beiju. Could it be some evil trick?"

Lu Dongbin, who was on the side, thought deeply and said: "Not necessarily, it may be the city left behind when Emperor Zhenwu passed by this place. Moreover, I see that the clouds are gloomy and the white clouds are not moving. I am afraid it is a demon city."

"Demon City?"

Everyone stopped and watched. Unfortunately, except for Lu Yin and Lu Dongbin, who knew some deduction techniques, Lu Yin was only half-baked. Everyone could only feel that it was abnormal, but could not tell whether it was true or false.

"You'll know if it's true or not when you go in and take a look. Everyone, please calm down and wait and see what happens."

Everyone nodded, gathered their breath, and followed Lu Yin one by one towards the big city.

When I got closer, I saw the whole of Xuanwu City. It was a square shape with weird claws sprouting from the corners, like a real turtle lying on the ground, with all the monsters living in it.

Under the huge city gate, stood two teams of guards, both wearing armor and wearing red silk scarves around their necks with furry heads on top.

"Kobold?"

Lu Yin was surprised.

When the guard at the door heard Lu Yin's surprise, he shouted: "Bold, who are you! What are you doing in Xuanwu City!"

Lu Yin restrained his surprise and said with a smile: "We are monsters from Hezhou, Xiniu. I am the Bull Demon King. These are all my old Niu's friends."

"The Bull Demon King? Then why don't you have horns?"

cried the kobold guard.

Lu Yin smiled slightly and touched his forehead with his hand. Not only did he have two more horns, his voice also sounded a little buzzing.

"It really is!"

The kobold guard shouted, pointed his spear at the other people, and asked, "Who are they?"

Lu Yin smiled, pointed at Huang Lan and said, "This is my Lao Niu's wife."

Pointing at Kong Yu, he said: "This is my concubine."

The expressions of the two women were also different. Huang Lan looked sideways slightly but did not refute, while Kong Yu nodded along.

Pointing at Nezha, he said: "This is my son, Red Boy!"

Nezha gritted his teeth, glared at Lu Yin, and then walked aside without saying a word.

Lu Yin smiled and said: "The dog has a bad temper, don't be offended."

"This is my cousin, True Immortal Ruyi."

Lu Yin finally pointed to Lu Dongbin and explained.

The kobold heard this, discussed it with the people around him, and trotted into the city. There was only one person left, and he said, "Don't worry, my brother has already gone to report."

Lu Yin laughed innocently and waved his hand.

Feng Xian scratched his head on the side, always feeling that he had been forgotten.

A few breaths later, a burly man came out of the small door on one side, wearing an official uniform and a black gauze hat. As soon as he saw Lu Yin, he shouted: "But the Great Sage Bull Demon King Pingtian is in front of you?"

Lu Yin smiled and said, "That's right."

The big man smiled and said: "Hahaha, I have heard of the great reputation of the Great Sage Pingtian for a long time. Please come in quickly. The city lord will definitely give you a good banquet tonight."

Lu Yin laughed and responded a few times, motioning for everyone to follow and asked: "Who is your Excellency?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the big man suddenly laughed, "I'm just here to welcome a few people in, but I haven't introduced myself yet."

"I am the lord of this city. I am responsible for assisting the city lord in managing the city on weekdays. It would be great if the Great Sage asked me to go to public school."

Lu Dongbin, who was behind him, smiled and said, "I see that your Excellency is not a monster, and you have no cultivation level to reincarnate. Why are you here?"

Lu Yin nodded secretly. This public school really doesn't cultivate Qi and blood, nor does it cultivate immortality. It just eats like a potbelly and looks like a monster.

This public school really laughed, "Everyone, don't be nervous. I am indeed not a demon race, but I also left the human race early. In the early years, there were some traces of the human kingdom on Beizhou, and I was one of them."

"Fortunately, I was saved by the Lord of Zhenwu City, and I became his subordinate. In my heart, the so-called humans and monsters are all the same."

"Everyone who enters Xuanwu City is a subject."

Feng first asked: "Dare to ask Your Excellency Gui Geng?"

Gongxue Zhen grinned, showing his big yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "More than six hundred."

After everyone understood, they walked in through the small door and entered the city.

Entering the city, there was a burst of noisy shouting.

The first thing you see is a long street. The nearest location is a tavern. It is said to be a tavern, but it is actually opened by some clever monkeys. The wine jars are either human blood or turbid and yellow wine. There are several benches, tables and chairs for people to drink and have fun.

Going forward, there is a gorgeous building. There are two fox monsters standing at the door, their eyes are like silk, and they look at the male monster on the roadside as if they swallow him.

Gongxue Zhen smiled and said: "This is the most famous building in the city and the most attractive place for everyone. I gave it a name."

"Heaven on earth!"

Lu Yin raised his brows. Just looking from a distance, he could smell the thick smell of rouge and blood. The public schoolmaster looked at everyone's expressions with a smile, and Lu Yin realized that this person might still know everyone's identity. Somewhat skeptical.

But it doesn’t matter, just take one step at a time.

Everyone looked at it for a few times and then lost interest. When the fox demon on the roadside saw the new guests, his eyes widened and he kept moving closer to Lu Yin and the others. Only after being stared at by the public schoolmaster, did he restrain himself. A few points.

"The rest, there is nothing to introduce."

Gongxue Zhen said, "Demons are different from people. Most of the small demons are homeless, but the big demons all like their own hills. If the city lord hadn't been righteous and liked to fight injustices, there wouldn't be many people in this Xuanwu City."

Lu Yin nodded, "Your Excellency keeps talking about Xuanwu City, Xuanwu City, is the city owner really Xuanwu?"

"How could this happen?" Gongxue Zhen laughed a few times, "But there is some connection."

"It sounds like a bit of a coincidence, but it is also very common in this immortal world. Back then, Emperor Zhenwu came down to the earth to eliminate the demons, and the city lord was rescued by him. However, due to insufficient cultivation, he had no chance to follow the emperor, so he had to stay behind where the demons were dancing. Beizhou built a Xuanwu City."

"It's a souvenir."

Lu Yin nodded, whether it was true or false, it sounded like that.

After walking for a while, everyone entered the inner city. This inner city was built like a small palace, with guards on the left and right, and maids in front of the palace gate.

Nezha smiled and said, "It's quite enjoyable."

The public school really laughed a few times, led everyone into the side hall, arranged the houses, and then bowed out, saying: "Everyone rest for a while, I'll go and see when the city lord will come back."

"Please."

Lu Yin replied.

After the public school really left, everyone relaxed. Lu Yin took out the five-element fang flag and spread it around, and then said: "I looked at it for a while. This city is like a demon city, but there is nothing special about it."

Huang Lan nodded, "Yes, the only strange thing is the world on earth. The smell of blood is too strong. Maybe there is something hidden in it."

Nezha said bluntly: "Why don't you go in and take a look? If you can't, you will send out a fire and burn this place down."

Lu Dongbin shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, let's pretend to be a snake first and find out the specific location and layout of the big and small monsters on Beiju Luzhou, and then ask about Feng Xin's whereabouts. When we get what we want, Let’s decide again.”

"What Brother Lu Dao said is absolutely true," Lu Yin praised. "We are naturally hostile to the demons in Luzhou, Beiju. By pretending to be identities, we should more or less get some information." Kong Yu smiled. He called out a few times to attract everyone's attention, "Don't worry, most of the conversations between monsters are fake. What's more, the public school may not believe that we are the family of the Bull Demon King."

"If he asks a few people, or finds someone who recognizes the Bull Demon King, won't your plan fail?"

Fengxian asked: "Do you think they don't believe that we are the Bull Demon King's family?"

Kong Yu smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. As long as we show enough strength, by then, the fake will naturally become true."

"Then what is the strength of the city lord? Golden Immortal? Taiyi Golden Immortal? It can't be Daluo Golden Immortal, right?"

"Even if we bring three or five guests, it's impossible for them all to be Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"Master Lu Dao's swordsmanship is superb and his reputation is far away. It is not suitable for him to do it. The same is true for nephew Nezha and Lu Yin. Tonight, this sister must help."

Kong Yu looked at Huang Lan.

Huang Lan replied: "Don't you remember that I am older than you?"

Kong Yu smiled and said: "Sister, this is wrong. Since our master has already decided the priorities, why should I shirk it?"

"Really, sir?"

Kong Yu looked at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin looked helpless and said with a wry smile: "It was just a temporary plan. I hope you two don't blame me. Don't blame me."

Lu Yin looked at Huang Lan again and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, I have other ways."

Lu Yin also had the magical power to subdue ghosts, and he could easily catch some big and small monsters and ask for directions, but he only got less information than the city lord.

Huang Lan chuckled lightly, "Well, since the master said so, I can just do it."

"Otherwise, a certain sister from the province will be acting strangely!"

After saying that, the two women chuckled a few times, and then became indifferent.

Lu Yin's expression was subtle, and Nezha covered his mouth and snickered. In his opinion, this was Lu Yin's self-defeating move.

Okay, then we can only wait until night.

Lu Yin regretted pretending to be the Bull Demon King. He had known better to pretend to be the Seven Calabash Babies.

It was getting late, and the movement in the city was becoming lively.

Most of the monsters enter the city near dusk, eat and drink with the monkeys, talk big, or show off some gossip they have learned to their colleagues. After recovering a lot of physical strength, they rush to the heavenly world.

Most of the money paid was various spiritual stones, elixirs, and occasionally free prostitutes, but these fox demons accepted them one by one. After all, they only needed some blood essence.

Lu Yin collected the Five Elements Tooth Flag and lit the indoor fire lamp. Not long after, someone came knocking on the door.

"Several grandparents, the city lord welcomes you."

Kong Yu gave Huang Lan a look, and Huang Lan snorted without responding.

Lu Yin had no choice but to lead everyone out, followed the boy, and went straight into the back garden.

The garden is not small, and the pavilions and corridors have a garden-like feel. There are also some fairy-like and demonic things planted in the flowerbeds on the left and right.

There were a few peach trees that had become fine among them. Seeing Lu Yin and others coming, they even gave off a burst of peach blossom fragrance.

In the middle, there were two rows of seats. On one of the seats, there was already a figure shaking, and a handsome man sat in the head seat.

Seeing Lu Yin and others coming, he quickly stood up to greet them.

The public school master really smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is the lord of our Xuanwu City."

The man cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Great Sage, just call me Xuanwu."

Gongxue Zhen said again: "This is the famous Pingtian Great Holy Bull Demon King."

Lu Yin also cupped his hands and glanced at everyone.

The monk in white clothes has a cold expression, and the old man in plain robes has his eyes closed tightly, as if he is blind.

There are two other demons, one looks like a wolf-headed general, and the other looks like a charming succubus.

That Xuanwu automatically took over the conversation and led everyone to their seats.

"Brother Niu, look, these people here are all my friends, and they are so good elsewhere."

"Here, the cold-faced Arhat of Wangui Temple."

The white-robed monk nodded.

"This is the master disciple of Xifeng Temple, the old immortal of the mortal world."

The blind old Taoist cupped his hands slightly, but his face kept facing Huang Lan and Kong Yu.

Seeing Lu Yin glance at him, he was shocked and quickly cupped his hands, then lowered his head to drink.

"These two, one is the demon king Cangli that I have newly contacted, and the other is the old boss of my city lord in heaven and earth, the fox demon Leng Yan."

Lu Yin saw them one by one and led everyone to sit down.

Xuanwu also sat on the main seat and said with a smile: "Tonight there are distinguished guests coming, so I can hold a gathering of immortals in my backyard, and it will also make me shine!"

The old immortal Hongchen smiled and said: "City Lord, please don't do this. It is our honor to receive your invitation."

"Hahaha, the Great Immortal is too polite." Xuanwu smiled and said, "Come, let's eat, drink and serve!"

Then two teams of fox girls came, carrying various delicacies and drinks in their hands. The fragrance was overflowing, and they were indeed delicacies in the world.

After eating and drinking, the reception will be a little more pleasant.

Xuanwu raised his glass and asked, "Brother Niu, how come you, the breadwinner of your family, came to Beizhou?"

coming.

Lu Yin secretly thought in his heart, and raised his glass and said with a smile: "The city lord doesn't know something. I am an old cow traveling all over the country. On the East Continent, I have an old relationship with the Dragon King of the East China Sea. On the South Continent, I fought with that monkey against Lu Yin and Yang Jian."

"There is no need to say more on Xizhou. As long as my name is mentioned, who wouldn't give me three points of thin noodles?"

Fortunately, Lu Yin also knew something about the Bull Demon King, and these words were very similar to what he had learned.

Hearing this, Xuanwu burst into laughter, clapped his hands and nodded.

Lu Yin said: "Therefore, I am the only one left to travel to Beizhou, so I will bring my wife, daughter, and friends with me to expand my knowledge."

Xuanwu nodded and said, "Brother Niu's good nature really makes us admire him."

"Where."

Lu Yin smiled.

At this time, the cold-faced Arhat opposite smiled and said, "The Great Sage is so powerful, can you tell us about Lu Yin?"

"I once heard the Buddha say that Lu Yin is destined for this journey to the north."

"Not bad, not bad!" The old immortal Hongchen faced Lu Yin and shouted: "Please tell me, the Great Sage, I have been unable to leave Beizhou for a long time. What is the origin of Lu Yin that has led to such a disaster?"

Lu Yin laughed a few times and said, "You have asked the right person."

"I think back then, when I was famous all over the world in Xizhou, Lu Yin was just a little monster."
