Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 1144 The Brutal Inspiration King

Chen Taigong asked again, "Did the young master see anything when he passed by the river?"

Qin Ran said with a smile, "I saw a stone tablet by the river with the words Tongtian River written on it."

Taigong Chen sighed and said: "Sir, if you go further up, you will see the Inspiration King Temple not far from the monument."

"Inspiration King, what Inspiration King?" Sun Wukong asked curiously. Tang Sanzang and Sha Seng also became interested and looked at the old man at the same time.

"Oh, what a sin!"

At that moment, Taigong Chen wiped his tears and slowly recounted what happened.

From Chen Taigong's narration, Tang Sanzang learned what happened.

The Chenjiazhuang has always been safe and sound, but suddenly one day a god who calls himself the King of Inspiration comes and says that as long as he worships him once a year, he can keep the Chenjiazhuang in good weather and protect them every year. This monster has great magical powers, and these people dare not not believe it, so they have to build temples for him, pray and pay tribute.

Unexpectedly, everything has gone smoothly this year. When the people of Chenjiazhuang were rejoicing, the inspiration king suddenly came to their door again and asked them to worship boys and girls.

Only then did the people of Chenjiazhuang realize that this god who claimed to be the King of Inspiration turned out to be a complete monster.

Whose child is not a heartthrob? No one in Chenjiazhuang is willing to sacrifice their children to this inspiration king. This will bring disaster to the entire Chenjiazhuang.

For the next whole year, there was not a drop of rain in Chenjiazhuang. It was extremely dry and Zhuangzi had no harvest.

The King of Inspiration once again warned that if no sacrifices were made, Chenjiazhuang would suffer disaster.

The people of Chenjiazhuang were frightened, so they had no choice but to comply with the request of the King of Inspiration and sacrifice boys and girls. In the next year, Chenjiazhuang, which had been plagued by disasters, once again returned to its previous smooth weather, but people's hearts are full of flesh, who would want to Abandoning your own child for nothing?
  Over the years, the villagers of Chenjiazhuang have not failed to find people to succumb to demons, but the monks and Taoists they invited were of no use, and without exception they became the inspiration king's meal. The villagers had no choice but to do it as usual every year. sacrifice.

And this year it was Taigong Chen’s turn.

Tang Sanzang was shocked. This monster must be too cruel.

Sun Wukong asked, "Old man, how many sons are there in your house?"

"It's pitiful, pitiful. Elder, don't say anything about me. You really shame me. This is my brother-in-law. His name is Chen Qing. The old man's name is Chen Cheng. I am sixty-three years old this year and he is fifty-eight years old. ."

The older man couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, with a sad look on his face, "I got a daughter late in life, named Yi Sheng Jin."

"It's such an expensive name, why is it called a scale of gold?" Sha Monk asked in surprise.

The old man slowly explained the reason for his name, "Because I had no heirs for half my life, I did a lot of good deeds, built bridges and roads, built temples and pagodas, gave alms to fasting monks, and kept a special account book. I spent three taels here and another there. Going to five taels, by the time my daughter was born, exactly thirty kilograms of gold had been used, so it was called one pound of gold."

"Old man, where is your son?" Monkey specializes in asking about household registration and keeps asking.

"I have no children, but my younger brother has a son named Chen Guanbao."

"Why did you choose this name?"      "Our family worships Guan Erye, the leader of Guan Yunchang. He got this son under the statue of Guan Erye, so he is called Guanbao. The combined age of my two brothers is almost two hundred years old. After getting these two children, I didn't expect that it would be my family's turn to sacrifice them, but the King of Inspiration was extremely vicious, but he didn't dare not to sacrifice them.

But the love between father and son is hard to let go, so we invited a group of monks to build a transcendental dojo for the child, called the Preparatory Death Fast..." As the old man spoke, he started to cry, and tears fell down. .

When Tang Sanzang heard such tragic things, he couldn't help but be moved. The fat on his face trembled and tears fell from his eyes.

"Old man, how many possessions do you have in your house?" Sun Wukong then asked.

"My family is quite wealthy, and we are also a wealthy family in Chenjiazhuang. We have hundreds of hectares of paddy fields, countless donkeys, horses, pigs and sheep. We have a fortune that I can't use up in my lifetime."

Although the old man didn't know what Sun Wukong meant, he still revealed the details of his family one by one.

Sun Wukong joked. "Old man, I see your family is very wealthy, why are you so frugal?"

The old man was a little surprised, "Elder, how do you know I save?"

Since you have such a big fortune, why are you willing to sacrifice your own children and spend dozens of taels of silver to buy a pair of boys and girls to leave yourself offspring? Isn't it so bad? "

Tang Sanzang's mouth twitched as he listened. This bastard monkey only knows how to make wisecracks, so other people's children are no longer children?
  The old man said with a look of sorrow and anger, "Elder, you don't know that the King of Inspiration has great supernatural powers and often comes to our Chenjiazhuang. He knows every detail of every household in our village. The year of birth of all the children in this village." He remembers all the months clearly, and he can only use it if our biological children pay tribute. Therefore, let alone dozens of taels of silver, even tens of thousands of taels of silver cannot buy children who are exactly the same, born on the same day in the same year and month."

Qin Ran clicked his tongue as he listened, and sent a monster here to cause trouble and cause trouble, which is a stupid reason for everyone to see such a doctor.

"Old man, can you take your child out and let us take a look?"

Qin Ran asked from the side. The two old men walked into the inner room, and each took a child out. They saw that the two children were very cute with pink jade bracelets. They were holding a peach in their hands and playing in front of the lamp. stop.

Sun Wukong said carelessly, "Old man, don't worry, we will leave this matter to us.

Although the two old men were moved, they didn't know what to say. They looked at Sun Wukong, a small man, with doubtful looks on their faces. You know, they had invited many monks and Taoist priests to subdue demons before, but they couldn't. With every exception, the King of Inspiration ate them up. The monkey-headed ones were probably not enough for the King of Inspiration to stuff his teeth into.

Sun Wukong also saw the suspicion of the two old men, so he changed into the appearance of the little boy and said with a smile: "Old man, what do you think of this?"

The two old men were stunned on the spot, speechless in shock. They looked at the two identical children below and couldn't tell which one was theirs.

"This……"

The two old men were stunned for a moment. Qin Ran reminded him with a smile, "How is it? Are the two old men satisfied?"

Grand Duke Chen Chen Qing said worriedly, "Sir, this is certainly a good idea, but I'm afraid this elder will get involved."

Sun Wukong returned to his original form and said with a look of disdain, "Haha, old man, you are worrying too much. If you want to eat my old grandson, the monster must also have this ability!"
