Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 22: Monkey King is born
Three days later.

The capital of Donglai State, Dongye City.

A young man in golden clothes, followed by two guards shrouded in black robes, walked on the main street of Dongye City.

The three monsters in this group are naturally Xiao Chen, Tiegu and Wuman.

Oh, no, it should be four monsters. There is also a small mosquito standing on Xiao Chen’s shoulder, and that mosquito monster is Shu Wen.

Since the Green Snake Prince was dead, this mosquito demon was not a tough guy. Naturally, it surrendered to Xiao Chen and became a spy demon of Kanyuan Mountain.

"My lord, the Beast Taming Sect is fifty miles east of this city."

Tiegu introduced to Xiao Chen that he was a general of Donglai State a long time ago and was quite familiar with the terrain of Donglai State.

"Iron Bone, what was your previous name?"

Xiao Chen suddenly asked.

Tiegu smiled bitterly and said, "My king, let's not talk about it. My people were killed by that treacherous prime minister. After hundreds of years, that treacherous prime minister has been reincarnated many times. I can't avenge my vengeance anymore, so I have nothing to worry about and can be a demon at ease!"

"Peace is decided by the generals, and the generals are not allowed to see peace. Throughout history, most of the generals who have become prominent have ended up like this. Your murder was not necessarily the intention of that treacherous prime minister..."

Xiao Chen shook his head and thought of a general in his previous life who had a fate very similar to Tiegu's, and sighed.

"Peace is determined by the general, and the general is not allowed to see peace."

"Peace is decided by the general. The general is not allowed to see peace. Hahahahahaha..."

Inside the black robe, Tiegu trembled when he heard the words. He muttered to himself several times, and then laughed out loud, as if he had finally let it go.

Soon, Xiao Chen and the four monsters Tiegu, Wuman and Shuwen arrived at the Beast Taming Gate.

The Beast Taming Sect is the sect that protects the country of Donglai. It is magnificent and naturally built, with jade-paved steps winding up and towering ancient trees on both sides. The building with golden bricks and black tiles towers on the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. It is the headquarters of the Beast Taming Sect.

Xiao Chen did not lead the monsters from Kanyuan Mountain to directly attack the Beast Taming Sect.

First, if a group of monsters entered the human country and besieged the human sect, it would make too much noise and become the target of public criticism. He is not a golden-winged roc, with such a powerful backing that he can directly eat up a human country without any problem.

Secondly, for a life-and-death enemy, there is no need to fight openly if you can play dirty. Xiao Chen was also a little afraid of the methods of the Beast Taming Sect, fearing that they would invite some other gods.

at dusk.

"Shu Wen, go ahead and find out the way to enter the sect and the whereabouts of the elders of the Beast Taming Sect."

"Also, remember, your flying speed should be the same as that of a normal mosquito. Don't fly that fast!"

Xiao Chen pointed out his flaws and gave instructions to the mosquito demon. This mosquito demon was able to disguise himself in front of the group of demons without revealing any flaws, and was definitely a qualified spy.

After all, not everyone has Sun Wukong's golden eyes that can see everything clearly.

"Okay, my king, Shu Wen has received your order."

On Xiao Chen's shoulder, there was a small mosquito, which blended into the swarm of mosquitoes in the forest and flew slowly towards the Beast Taming Gate.

Two hours later, the mosquito demon came back, nodded and replied.

"My lord, I have visited the Beast Taming Sect and found out everything inside. I also put some incense in their well water. They should all be sleeping like dead pigs now."

"Also, the three old men you instructed me to look like, I compared their appearances and they are all here too."

Xiao Chen looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds, and the moon was hidden and the stars were sparse.

It was a dark and windy night, a night for murder.

Under the guidance of the mosquito demon.

Xiao Chen held a halberd, Tiegu held a knife, and Wuman held a sword. The three demons circumvented the hidden traps of the Beast Taming Sect and entered the Beast Taming Sect without anyone noticing. They first killed the three old men in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and then slaughtered everyone in the Beast Taming Sect.

Many disciples of the Beast Taming Sect died in their sleep.

Xiao Chen rode on a ball of black wind, flying in the air, spitting out fire everywhere.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen and the other four demons went to the alchemy room and armory of the Beast Taming Sect to steal some elixirs, weapons and magical treasures, and took them all away.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, until it burned the Beast Taming Sect completely to ashes.

Xiao Chen thought of the little monsters from the Black Evil Cave and the Shuizang Cave on Heishong Ridge that were slaughtered by the Beast Taming Sect. This could be considered as revenge for them.

Xiao Chen thought softly in his heart:
"Since I, Xiao Chen, am a demon, I will do demonic things. Why should I be afraid of his heinous crimes? I will just give him a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood. If someone offends me one foot, I will give him ten feet." "Let's go."

Xiao Chen wiped his bloody hands and returned to Kanyuan Mountain with the three monsters Tiegu, Wuman and Shuwen.

……

After Xiao Chen became the Monster King, he used the military parade as an excuse to inspect weapons and equipment.

But most of the little monsters' weapons were too simple. They were just ordinary wooden sticks covered with iron sheets, rough iron rods, harpoons... and so on. They had no levels at all.

Xiao Chen took the opportunity to copy the powerful treasures among them and gained more than a thousand years of cultivation.

Under the leadership of Xiao Chen, Kanyuan Mountain became increasingly powerful. In just three years, it attracted more than ten thousand little monsters. His name "Golden Horn King" became more and more famous.

Because he would reward merits, punish mistakes, and avenge his enemies, he was extremely loved by the little demons under his command.

……

One day three years later.

Xiao Chen is practicing.

Suddenly, the mosquito demon Shu Wen came to report, and said in surprise: "My king, the huge rock you asked me to see in Huaguo Mountain has cracked, and a stone monkey actually ran out from it!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen stood up suddenly.

Monkey King is born, and the journey to the West begins.

"Please prepare some gifts for me, and I will go to Huaguo Mountain."

……

But in Aolai Country, Huaguo Mountain, the Monkey King had just acquired the Water Curtain Cave and ascended to the throne, becoming the Monkey King. His room was fully equipped with a stone nest, stone stove, stone bowls, stone basins, stone bed, and stone benches.

It is:

There is a place to hide when the wind blows, and a place to stay when it rains. There is no fear of frost or snow, and the thunder will never be heard.

The mist and haze always shine, and the auspiciousness always comes. The pines and bamboos are luxuriant every year, and the exotic flowers are new every day.

So the Monkey King led a group of apes, macaques, horse monkeys, etc., and assigned them to be the ruler, ministers, and assistants. They traveled to the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the morning and stayed in the Water Curtain Cave at night. They were in harmony with each other, and did not enter the flocks of birds or follow the running beasts. He was king all alone and was very happy.

So:

In the spring, you pick flowers for your food, and in the summer, you look for fruits for your livelihood.

Harvesting taro and chestnuts in autumn delays the harvest season, while hunting for yellow flowers in winter ensures their bloom.

One day, when the Monkey King and his fellow monkeys were drinking monkey wine,

Suddenly, the monkey came to report:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Golden Horn King from Kanyuan Mountain has come to visit Your Majesty."

"Who is this monster, the Golden Horned King, and how come he knows my name?" the Monkey King asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that there is a 600-li Kanyuan Mountain more than 4,000 miles away from us. The Golden Horn King is the master of this Kanyuan Mountain. He has become very famous in recent years."

"Moreover, it is said that this Golden Horn King also came from our Flower-Fruit Mountain."

……

The monkeys talked one after another about the reputation of the Golden Horn King, which made the Monkey King scratch his ears and cheeks. He was born not long ago and didn't know much about the outside world. He was full of curiosity.

"Since you are my old neighbor, please call the Golden Horn King to come in and meet me."

"King Jinjiao, please come in. Our king wants to see you."

Tongbei Ape came out and called out to Xiao Chen.

When Xiao Chen came to Huaguo Mountain, he naturally transformed into the shape of a toad monster.

Here, he finally saw the Monkey King he had been longing for. This Monkey King had long blond hair and a pair of bright round eyes. Although he was not as tall and strong as he appeared on TV, he was worthy of being called the "Monkey King".

However, the first words that Monkey Brother said when he saw Xiao Chen surprised Xiao Chen:
"That little toad, I've seen you before."
