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

Chapter 424 The Cow Ran Away

Heavenly Court, outside the Nantian Gate.

Ao Lie was so angry that he drew his sword and slashed at the cowherd boy.

"Ao Lie..."

Xiao Chen looked at the Third Prince of Jade Dragon in front of him, who would become the white dragon horse in the future journey to the West.

As the saying goes: "It is easy to change the country, but difficult to change one's nature."

It seems that Ao Lie is indeed as his name suggests, with a temper like fire that can be ignited at any time, just like a wild horse that lets the reins run wild.

Although his abilities are not great, his temper is astonishingly big.

Xiao Chen knew in his heart that the courage and ability of people in this world are often not proportional, and Ao Lie is a typical example.

Later, the Jade Emperor personally bestowed the Night-Shining Pearl from the Dragon Palace in the West Sea. This Night-Shining Pearl was a gift from the emperor and was extremely noble.

Moreover, the treasures bestowed by the Jade Emperor cannot be destroyed at will. Once destroyed on purpose, it would be a contempt for the Jade Emperor, and the consequences would be so serious that they are unimaginable.

But Ao Lie got angry and simply set fire to the night pearl. Wasn't this clearly seeking death?
But Ao Lie has the courage to do it!
Ao Lie dares to do things that others dare not do!

Ao Lie dares to kill people that others dare not kill!

He never considers the consequences and acts on impulse.

Flames shot up into the sky next to the night pearl, illuminating Ao Lie's arrogant and unruly face.

Ao Lie burned the Night Pearl with fire and trampled the Jade Emperor's grace and majesty under his feet.

Burning the things bestowed by the emperor was a disrespect to the Jade Emperor and a violation of the laws of heaven, but Ao Lie seemed to have never considered the severity of the consequences.

Don’t say that Ao Lie doesn’t know the identity of this cowherd boy, even if Ao Lie knows that this cowherd boy is herding cattle for Taishang Laojun.

Ao Lie also has the courage to kill the cowherd boy with just one sword!

There was no other reason. Others might have taken Taishang Laojun into consideration, but Ao Lie really dared to kill him.

This is Ao Lie, the incarnation of the "willed horse", a wild horse that is always running, unable to be restrained or tamed.

My mind is restless and my thoughts are running wild.

How difficult it is to calm a restless mind; how difficult it is to control one's desires.

As the saying goes: "The depth of his mind is immeasurable, and his heart is full of wildness."

Once the desire in a person's heart is unbridled, what is there to be afraid of?

In the team of pilgrims, Sun Wukong is the "monkey in the heart", representing the inner restlessness and uneasiness; while Ao Lie is the "wild horse", symbolizing impulsiveness and unruliness, and both are symbols of rebellious people.

It is difficult to calm a restless mind and control one's unbridled thoughts. This is the reason.

However, Ao Lie eventually turned into a white dragon horse and was ridden by someone.

The dignified Third Prince of Jade Dragon turned into a mount. Isn't this a huge gap?

Perhaps young people must lose something before they can gain something.

Only the long journey of 108,000 miles to obtain the scriptures can tame Ao Lie, this unruly horse.

The "wild horse reined in" by the Yingchou Stream, wasn't it Ao Lie who killed the young, frivolous and reckless self he once was with his own hands?

The moment he was named "Eight Heavenly Dragon Horse Bodhisattvas" at Lingshan, he achieved enlightenment and completely killed his former self.

The hardships and tribulations of traveling tens of thousands of miles finally taught him to restrain himself and grow.

But it's obvious.

Ao Lie today is still that unruly and lawless "wild horse".

……

As for Ao Lie looking down on this cowherd boy, it is not surprising.

Cowherd boy, to put it nicely, I will call you “cowherd boy”.

But to put it bluntly, the cowherd boy is actually a "cow slave", a slave who herds cattle for his master.

In the eyes of the master, which is more important, the riding cow or the cow slave?
Needless to say.

The status of a cow slave is lower than that of a cow. They are responsible for taking care of the cows’ eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping day and night.

The cows were served by cow slaves.

Similar to this is the lion herder boy, also known as the "lion slave".

The nine-headed lion "Jiuling Yuansheng" was kept in the lion room near the East Gate of Heaven and was guarded by "lion slaves".

Although some mounts have great abilities, they have actually been tamed and have become servile.

Mounts generally do not dare to disobey fairy slaves such as the "Lion Slave". They are often very respectful of them and dare not disobey them in the slightest.

The lion slaves would beat and scold them at every turn, but the mounts could only endure it silently, neither fighting back nor retaliating.

For example, the lion slave once grabbed Jiuling Yuansheng's neck hair and punched him on the neck a hundred times, cursing:
"How dare you steal it, you beast? You made me suffer!"

The Nine-Spirited Saint remained silent and did not dare to shake.

Shi Nuer beat Jiuling Yuansheng until his hands were sore and exhausted, and then he stopped.

Cow slaves, to put it simply, are slaves who serve cows.

A dog relies on the power of his master, and a slave relies on the power of an ox.

It’s no wonder that Ao Lie looks down on these lion slaves, cow slaves and the like.

Even though the dragon race declined.

Ao Lie is also the legitimate prince of the dragon clan and the master.

A cow slave who served the cows humiliated him.

How could he swallow this?

……

Ao Lie was drawing his sword and slashing at the cowherd boy, his sword flashing coldly and filled with murderous intent.

However, the cowherd boy sneered, floated lightly backwards, and distanced himself from Ao Lie.

at the same time.

The cowherd boy once again raised the bright, white circle in his hand and shouted:
"Go!"

With a whoosh, a white light flashed, and the sword in Ao Lie's hand was unexpectedly caught by the circle and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Hahaha, your sword is now my sword!"

The cowherd boy proudly took out the sword from the circle, pointed the tip of the sword at Ao Lie, stretched out his body, leaned forward, and stabbed at Ao Lie.

There is a saying: "No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife."

Ao Lie is unarmed at the moment, how can he defeat the cowherd boy with a sword?
For a while.

He was in danger all around and had to dodge backwards repeatedly, trying to avoid the sharp sword.

Ao Mo'ang was right behind Ao Lie. Seeing this, he immediately drew the triangular mace from his waist, leaped forward, and blocked the cowherd boy's way.

Ao Mo'ang was very skilled in the technique. In just a few moves, he knocked the sword out of the cowherd boy's hand, catching the cowherd boy off guard.

"What a brave dragon!

The cowherd boy did not give up. He shouted loudly and quickly retreated. At the same time, he once again raised the bright white circle in his hand and shouted:
"Go!"

With a whoosh, another white light flashed, and the two triangular maces in Ao Mo'ang's hands were also caught by the circle and disappeared in the circle.

"This circle should be able to take other people's weapons..."

Ao Mo'ang looked unhappy as his weapon was taken away, and he felt secretly annoyed.

At this moment.

The cowherd boy took advantage of the situation and stabbed Ao Mo'ang again with his sword.

Ao Mo'ang is skilled in martial arts and is extremely good at boxing and kicking. He is known as "the number one dragon in the Ao family in the world."

Although Ao Mo'ang was angry, he was not panicked. Even though he had no weapons in his hands, his pair of iron fists were still very powerful.

I saw the cowherd boy stabbing at me with a sword.

Ao Mo'ang lifted his clothes and stepped forward, assuming a calm posture and raising his two fists, which looked like hammers used for oil painting, majestic and imposing.

Ao Mo'ang lifted his clothes and stepped forward, throwing away his airs, raising his two fists, looking like oil-making hammers, very majestic.

Ao Mo'ang displayed all his skills and exchanged punches with the cowherd boy in front of the South Heaven Gate, engaging in a fierce close combat.

"Come!" Ao Mo'ang shouted, stretched out his feet and moved his body, his body was as agile as flying, easily avoiding the long sword attack of the cowherd boy.

Afterwards, Ao Mo'ang pulled open the big Siping, kicked out two flying kicks, threatened to split the chest, and to tear out the heart and gall... His fists and feet were as fast as the wind and unstoppable. Every move and every style revealed his profound martial arts skills.

The two people met several times.

Ao Mo'ang seized the opportunity, bent down to avoid the long sword, and flipped up with a "carp leap", his body moving very agilely.

The pair of dragon claws pressed down on the cowherd boy's shoulders like iron clamps. The force was so great that the cowherd boy could not break free.

Immediately afterwards, Ao Mo'ang took advantage of the situation and tripped the cowherd boy, knocking him to the ground.

At the same time, Ao Mo'ang was quick-witted and snatched the sword from the cowherd boy's hand, holding it firmly in his own hands.

This set of boxing and leg techniques was smooth and natural, and in just a few breaths, the cowherd boy was subdued easily.

The cowherd boy fell to the ground, his arms locked tightly by Ao Mo'ang, unable to move.

His face was full of astonishment. He never expected that even with the magic weapon "Vajra Cutter" in his hand, he would be defeated so easily by Ao Mo'ang.

……

"Diamond Cutter..."

Xiao Chen looked at this scene and understood something in his mind.

Although the diamond cutter is powerful, it is not invincible. It depends on who uses it.

The power of the Vajra Cutter lies in its ability to take on all kinds of magical weapons, making the enemy instantly lose their support and fall into trouble.

However, everything in the world has two sides, and the diamond cutter also has its limitations.

The Vajra Cutter cannot take in a person, much less can it take in a person’s innate martial arts skills and natural supernatural powers.

Fists and feet are the strength of human body and an extension of the flesh and blood body.

Supernatural powers are the result of one's own cultivation; they are internal, not external.

For example, can the Diamond Cutting Machine get past the Scorpion Demon's "Inverted Horse Poison Stake"?

The diamond cutter definitely cannot fit the "inverted horse poison stake".

This horse-falling poison stake is the Scorpion Demon's innate magical power.

Even though the diamond cutter has thousands of variations and infinite power, how can it possibly draw out this kind of inner strength?

The role of the diamond cutter, after all, is nothing more than to add some advantages to the weapon or magic weapon for the user, putting the enemy at a disadvantage after losing the weapon or magic weapon.

The Green Bull Demon is not weak in sword and spear skills, and also has the magical power of "three heads and six arms".

The weapon of the Green Bull Demon is a two-meter-long steel spear. His spear skills are exquisite, and Sun Wukong praised him as "very skilled". His moves are wide-ranging and capable of both offense and defense.

When the Bull Demon and Sun Wukong first fought, the two fought for thirty rounds without a clear winner.

The longest time was when the Bull Demon fought with Sun Wukong for three hours before he made a feint and escaped.

In the battles with Nezha, Li Tianwang and other gods, the Bull Demon did not lose the upper hand and displayed his extremely strong martial arts.

It is worth mentioning that the Green Bull Demon’s boxing and kicking skills should not be underestimated.

After Sun Wukong lost his golden cudgel, the Bull Demon voluntarily gave up his gun and fought Sun Wukong with boxing.

The Green Bull Demon fought Sun Wukong's short fist with his long fist for dozens of rounds, and the surrounding gods cheered continuously, which shows that his boxing skills are profound.

From this we can see that even if the Bull Demon does not use magic weapons, his extraordinary martial arts and the magical power of "three heads and six arms" are enough to compete with powerful enemies such as Sun Wukong and Nezha.

With the magic weapon of Vajra, the Bull Demon had the advantage of weapons in his hands. Nezha, Sun Wukong and others who were fighting with bare hands naturally had the upper hand.

Therefore, the Vajra Cutter is only very powerful in the hands of the Green Bull Demon.

But this cowherd boy had little martial arts skills, while Ao Mo'ang was skilled in martial arts and had powerful boxing and kicking skills.

Even if the cowherd boy had weapons in his hands and took advantage of the weapons, he would still find it difficult to compete with Ao Mo'ang who was unarmed.

Although magic weapons are good, they need to meet a wise master before they can shine brightly.

Otherwise, no matter how good the magic weapon is, it is just a dead object.

……

"Wow, wow, wow!"

The cowherd boy was so angry that he jumped up and down, his face flushed red, and he shouted at the green bull spirit:
"Niu'er, Niu'er, why don't you help me? I'm being bullied, come and take a look!"

However, the Green Bull Demon just turned his head lazily and continued chewing the yellow orange in his mouth, as if he was oblivious to the cowherd boy's cry for help.

at the same time.

There was a hint of mockery in the eyes of the Green Bull Demon, as if he was enjoying the anxiety and helplessness of the cowherd boy and treating it all as a funny farce.

Ao Mo'ang didn't know the identity of the cowherd boy, nor did he know where the cowherd boy came from, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Ao Mo'ang waved his hand, and his dragon soldiers and generals acted quickly, retrieving the weapons that the cowherd boy had taken away with the vajra and dropped on the ground.

Obtaining the weapon was a lesson for the cowherd boy.

This matter can only be left at this point.

Ao Mo'ang released the restraints on the cowherd boy.

The cowherd boy suddenly jumped up, his eyes flashing with flames of extreme anger. His gaze was as sharp as a knife and he glared at Ao Mo'ang fiercely.

That look seemed to want to devour Ao Moang whole and eat him alive, filled with endless unwillingness.

However, he could not defeat Ao Mo'ang.

After all, the cowherd boy felt that the magic weapon in his hand was not powerful enough!
At this moment, the cowherd boy was already blinded by anger.

His eyes were red and his fists were clenched. Without saying a word, he turned around resolutely, completely ignoring the leisurely and contented green bull demon beside him.

"Humph!"

The cowherd boy didn't even look at the green bull demon and snorted coldly.

The cowherd boy was very angry that the green bull demon did not help him!
The cowherd boy walked so fast that he almost turned into a blue lightning. He quickly passed through the South Gate of Heaven and rushed straight to the Tushita Palace in the Heaven of Lihende beyond the Thirty-three Heavens.

He had two playmates in the Tushita Palace, one was the "Golden Furnace Boy" who guarded the golden furnace, and the other was the "Silver Furnace Boy" who guarded the silver furnace.

In the hands of the Golden Furnace Boy and the Silver Furnace Boy, there are also a number of powerful magic weapons such as the purple gold red gourd, the mutton-fat jade bottle, the banana fan, etc.

An idea came to the mind of the cowherd boy.

If they were not on guard when Ao Mo'ang and Ao Lie descended to the lower world, I might be able to use the magic weapons of "Golden Furnace Boy" and "Silver Furnace Boy" to teach them an unforgettable lesson...

At this time, the Green Bull Demon seemed like a bystander who had nothing to do with the matter.

He glanced at the cowherd boy who left angrily.

The corners of the Green Bull Demon's mouth rose slightly, revealing a cunning smile that showed "evil plans have succeeded".

"Hehehe..."

The Green Bull Demon secretly thought in his heart:
"This is a great opportunity. If the master punishes me, it's because he didn't keep an eye on me."

"He was careless."

"All of this guilt has nothing to do with me..."

Thinking of this, Qing Niu Jing was secretly delighted. He did not enter the South Gate of Heaven, nor did he care where the cowherd boy was going. He just spread his four hooves and ran away in a flash.

Slip away, slip away, go to the underworld to live happily.

"Oh, the cow ran away, the cow ran away..."

When Virūdhaka saw this, he shouted hurriedly.

He tried to call out to the cowherd boy who was leaving angrily, but the cowherd boy was walking so fast that he did not hear his call at all and had already disappeared.

King Zhangzhang shook his head helplessly.

Others don’t know Qingniu, but how could he not know Qingniu?
He is a security guard who guards the company's gate every day. How could he not recognize the company boss's "favorite car"?
Of course I know it.

How dare he attack Qingniu?

If that person's "pet" is bumped or damaged, it will be a big trouble.

then.

King Zhangzhang could only watch the Green Bull Demon run away.

The Green Bull Demon ran very fast with all four of its hooves flying, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
