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

Chapter 38 Shocking news, seducing women under the emperor’s order?
"Then the Happy Buddha Dingguang sent me to..."

The old bull demon was cut into pieces, his bones removed, and slowly roasted over a fire. He was in excruciating pain and only wanted to die quickly, so he explained his whereabouts and mission in detail.

The yellow cattle demon slowly told the story while screaming.

Xiao Chen was stunned and shocked. He had accidentally discovered a shocking piece of news.

To put it bluntly, the mission of this old bull demon can be summed up in four words: "Seducing women according to orders."

As for this hooked girl, her identity is not simple. She is the Jade Emperor's granddaughter, the Weaver Girl in later generations. She is innocent and very much loved by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Someone from heaven lured the Weaver Girl down to earth and revealed her whereabouts. The old ox waited for the opportunity, secretly accepted a disciple, and taught him how to seduce women...

As for why the old ox came to Kanyuan Mountain, it was a coincidence.

According to him, one day in heaven is one year on earth. He had been waiting for a long time in the mortal world, but had not received any news. He passed by this place and saw the king of Kanyuan Mountain who was not very powerful, so he took him away and indulged himself in pleasure.

As for the old ox, he had some special little habits when it came to happiness. After hearing two or three sentences, Xiao Chen quickly asked him to stop and not to elaborate further.

"this……?"

Xiao Chen groaned and fell into deep thought. If that was the case, this yellow cow monster must be the old yellow cow in the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

In his previous life, the love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was undoubtedly a beautiful one, which made him yearn for it.

But now, after listening to what the old ox said, Xiao Chen thought that there were many doubts in this story, which was terrifying when he thought about it carefully!
First of all, in the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the old ox can actually speak.

If animals can speak, there is only one possibility: they have undoubtedly become spirits, either monsters, Buddhas, or immortals.

Secondly, how could an old yellow cow demon on earth know the whereabouts of the fairy in the sky and where the fairy went to take a bath?

Moreover, it was obvious that this was a collaboration between the inside and the outside! There was a traitor in heaven!
This old scalper is obviously not a good person! He always gives bad advice and instigates people to peek at unmarried women taking baths.

Then, this cowherd, Xiao Chen now thinks, is not an honest man either.

His behavior is no different from that of a gangster, right?

"This gigolo secretly ran over to watch an unmarried girl bathing. It would have been fine if he just watched, but you watched for a long time and still couldn't get enough."

"Good fellow, you actually stole the girl's clothes and prevented her from returning home, in order to force the Weaver Girl to marry him."

"Isn't this a complete forced marriage?"

"Is this something a person of decent character would do?"

“This behavior…”

"If it were in the future, it would also be illegal, right? At least the starting sentence would be three years? What's the difference between this behavior and the human traffickers who abduct and sell women in the mountains?"

"Finally, the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals will come to take the seven fairies back to heaven."

"My goodness, the heavenly soldiers and generals are all armed with swords and guns. Swords have no eyes!"

"This cowherd is carrying two children on a shoulder pole. Isn't he afraid of hurting the children? He has bad intentions. It's obvious that he wants to use these two children to make Zhinu soften her heart and stay with him."

"The Weaver Girl was innocent, but she was deceived. She was provided with luxurious clothes and delicious food in heaven, but ended up having to do farm work every day on earth, suffering."

Xiao Chen pondered for a long time, but still couldn't come back to his senses.

What a beautiful love story, but now the filter is shattered.

"But I did save the Weaver Girl. But now that the Cowherd is gone, who knows, there might still be Sheepherd, Deerherd, or something like that."

"These fairies have been targeted by the Happy Buddha, so they resorted to despicable means. Their innocence is in jeopardy."

Xiao Chen shook his head and thought to himself:

"Now it seems that some myths are not so beautiful and cannot stand up to scrutiny."

"But in the story of the Lotus Lantern, Liu Yanchang and Yang Chan should be truly in love, right?"

"According to the timeline, it's still a long way to go for Liu Yanchang to come out. There's still several hundred years to go."

Now that Xiao Chen has become an immortal, he finally understands a truth.

Human beings are mortals with heavy foul air in their bodies. Moving Mount Tai is easy, but carrying an ordinary person on a cloud is the most difficult.

Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for immortals to look down on mortals because of their filthy aura, let alone having children and sleeping together.

As Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong said in a passage in Journey to the West, this is the truth.

Bajie said, "Master's flesh and blood is as heavy as Mount Tai. How can I, who rides on clouds, be worthy of it? I need your somersaults to do the same."

Sun Wukong said, “My somersaults can also allow me to ride on clouds, but I can only go farther. If you can’t carry it, how can I? It has been said since ancient times that even if Mount Tai is as light as a mustard seed, it is difficult to carry a mortal out of the world.” Even with Sun Wukong’s ability, it was difficult for him to carry Tang Monk across the river directly, which shows how heavy the turbid qi of mortals is.

The way the demon took Tang Seng away was not to fly directly, but to pull him and walk on the ground at a low altitude.

In the words of Sun Wukong: "This evil and poisonous monster, using magic to attract attention, can only pull and tug at the ground and cannot be taken away into the air."

"Hey……"

The beautiful love story of the previous life is shattered at this moment.

Xiao Chen sighed and looked at the old yellow cow demon. He couldn't help but get angry and cursed:
"You gods and Buddhas, you are high up there, enjoying the offerings of mortals, and having no worries about food and clothing, but why do you always do things that cheat and deceive people behind their backs?"

"Dingguang Happy Buddha saw that Yang Jian's rebellion against Heaven last time caused great damage to Heaven and also lost face, so..."

"Old Niu is just following orders! Please spare me!"

The old bull demon was ready to die, and begged bitterly.

From this incident, Xiao Chen captured two useful pieces of information.

First, one day in heaven equals one year on earth. From the time of the Conferred God to the present day, the present Heavenly Palace has only been built for a few years. Generally speaking, it is a structure of the Three Pure Ones, Four Imperial Concubines, and Five Elders.

There is no need to say much about the Three Pure Ones. Nowadays, religious power is greater than imperial power, and the Three Pure Ones are above the Jade Emperor.

Although the Jade Emperor commands the three realms, there is the Emperor of Ziwei in the north, the Emperor of Changsheng in the south, the Emperor of Xiji in the west, and the Emperor Hou Tu who follows the example of heaven.

The Great Emperor Qinghua of the East, also known as Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, is a bit embarrassing. Although he is also an emperor, he is not among the Four Emperors. It is also said that he is the incarnation of Yuanshi Tianzun.

For example, Zhu Bajie serves as the Marshal of Tianpeng, who is one of the Four Saints of the North Pole and actually reports directly to the Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole.

Each emperor is now a self-respecting mercenary.

Xiao Chen didn't know what the relationship was between these big guys.

But from this incident, we can get a glimpse of the whole picture. I am afraid that someone is dissatisfied with the Jade Emperor's rule and is secretly making trouble for him in order to embarrass the Jade Emperor and test his majesty.

Second, after the Battle of the Gods, the Jie Religion was destroyed and Tongtian the Patriarch was put in solitary confinement.

Laozi transformed the Hu into a Buddha and took away some of the Buddhist fortune.

Yuanshi Tianzun tricked the Western religion by enfeoffing several gods to join it, thus bringing the Western religion under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court in disguise.

For example, the four generals of the Demon Family assisted the Western religion, Zheng Lun and Chen Qi were the two generals Heng and Ha, guarding the gate of the Western Buddhist mountain, which was also a disguised way of monitoring the Western religion.

As the leaders of Western religions, Zhunti and Jie Yin naturally want to break free from the control of Heaven.

In the earthly realm, there is also the Buddhist Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Ten Kings of Hell who are under the command of the Heavenly Court.

As the two largest power groups in the Three Realms today, they are also the orthodox groups.

The open and secret struggles between Lingshan and Heaven, Buddhism and Taoism, have probably never stopped.

Xiao Chen shook his head. In his previous life, he thought that these immortals and Buddhas were pure-hearted and of high moral character. But now it seems that they are no different from ordinary people. They are just innate beings who have mastered powerful strength.

From the battle between immortals and demons, the battle between races, the battle between orthodoxy...

The history of Chinese mythology is a history of war.

"The fighting and scheming among the three realms has never stopped!"

Xiao Chen sighed for a moment.

Then, he looked at the old ox again. As a witness of such evidence, the old ox might be useful at some point?
However, it must not be cheap.

"Hmph, old ox, I will spare you for now. In the future, I will teach you to suffer the pain of eight hundred swords piercing your heart every day!"

Xiao Chen's mind moved, he snorted coldly, transformed himself into several strong men holding swords, and gave orders.

"Moo, moo, moo!"

"Please spare me, let me die quickly!"

The old ox kept wailing and begging.

Xiao Chen was not willing to care about him. With a thought, he withdrew from the world in his stomach and smiled at Tiegu, Shu Wen and Qingmian, the three demons:
"Come on, let's go back to the cave."

Fellow Taoists, please have some melon.
