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

Chapter 49: Bull Demon's True Feelings

Xiao Chen looked at the monkey's figure at this moment and couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.

He actually came to the world of Journey to the West and took a trip to the underworld, only then did he realize how dark and cold the world of Journey to the West was.

Even in the underworld, which judges all living beings, there is no fairness or justice at all.

Every ghost that comes to reincarnate will be exploited again layer by layer.

If you have money, you can buy the right to walk on the main road; if you have money, you can avoid torture. The Naihe Bridge is divided into three categories: the golden bridge, the silver bridge, and the broken bridge. Only people with "yuan" can be ferried to the land of reincarnation.

Everyone said that this monkey was stupid, but Xiao Chen looked at the majestic and contemptuous monkey in front of him.

What rules, what unspoken rules, what Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, what road-blocking ghost messengers, at this moment, are all shattered under the monkey's golden hoop and turned to ashes.

As the great man commented: "The golden monkey raised his thousand-pound stick, and the jade sky cleared the dust for thousands of miles!"

At this moment, the monkey is the only light that can be seen in this world of Journey to the West, right?
Xiao Chen looked at the monkey and explained, "Monkey, I'm here to find a wife for the old cow."

"But, Monkey, why did you suddenly come to the underworld?"

Xiao Chen asked in confusion.

"Hehehe, that day I recruited some new demon soldiers and was holding a banquet, but I didn't expect that the Black and White Impermanence would come and snatch the souls of my monkeys and grandchildren right under my nose."

"I, Old Sun, followed the Black and White Impermanence all the way to the King of Hell's Palace."

"They say that the life span of my monkey descendants has come to an end."

"I, Old Sun, don't care about these things."

"Just cross out all the monkeys with names on their book of life and death!"

Sun Wukong said with a smile.

At this moment, a little monkey and two old monkeys jumped out from behind Sun Wukong and saluted Xiao Chen and Niu Mowang. They must be the monkey whose soul was possessed.

"But Toad, I, Old Sun, have discovered something strange."

"I was going to cross your name out as well."

"But I searched everywhere, and I couldn't find your name in the Book of Life and Death."

"Isn't your name Jinjiao? I, Old Sun, simply didn't bother looking for you anymore, so I just crossed out the names of the Jin clan."

"So that you can also achieve immortality."

Sun Wukong looked very smart and said with a smile.

"My name isn't in the Book of Life and Death?"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this.

His name was not in the Book of Life and Death. Xiao Chen guessed that there were two possibilities.

"First, I traveled through time and space, and I have not been through reincarnation in the underworld. My name is not in the Book of Life and Death."

"Second, should I be considered a demon body with a human soul? There may be a name in the Book of Life and Death, but is it a demon name or a human name? I have never seen the Book of Life and Death, so I am not sure."

However, now that the monkey has caused such a big disturbance in the underworld, I'm afraid the people from Heaven will come soon.

Xiao Chen also smiled bitterly. According to the monkey's temperament, this was a matter of time. He could only do his best.

However, there is one advantage of having a person's name in the Book of Life and Death. Since the Book of Life and Death stipulates that a person will die at the age of eighty, it also ensures that this person will be alive before the age of eighty.

Sun Wukong simply crossed out the names of his monkeys and their descendants. Although their lifespans were no longer under the control of the underworld, if the monkeys were killed, they would be killed. They would probably become wandering ghosts and would not be able to be reincarnated.

"Come on, Toad, Old Cow, go back and have a feast to celebrate."

Sun Wukong didn’t think so much at the moment. He just thought that his monkeys and grandchildren would be able to live forever in the future. He smiled and embraced Xiao Chen and Bull Demon King and returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Two years later, Xiao Chen came to the Flower-Fruit Mountain again.

I saw that the Flower-Fruit Mountain was already full of demons. They set up camp, wielding knives and sticks, holding knives and guns, and armed the Flower-Fruit Mountain like a bucket.

In addition, demon kings from various places came to join Sun Wukong.

For a time, the Flower-Fruit Mountain had hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, and the name of the "Monkey King" of the Flower-Fruit Mountain was even more resounding throughout the Dongsheng Shenzhou.

"This small Flower-Fruit Mountain can no longer accommodate the current Sun Wukong."

Xiao Chen sighed softly. Perhaps it was due to Sun Wukong's personality. After all, he was still the Monkey King who was fearless. How could he be bound to this Flower-Fruit Mountain?

"Come on, drink, drink."

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong and a group of demon kings were toasting each other, still smiling and looking carefree.

Xiao Chen was somewhat worried.

"It all happened anyway, and three hundred years earlier."

"Is it really as Master Subhuti said, that just because the monkey came three hundred years earlier, he must suffer more hardships and sufferings?"

“Is it all destined?”

The Bull Demon King next to him, who was originally going to marry a beautiful wife, was smiling, but now he was silent and looked a little ugly.

The Bull Demon King pulled Sun Wukong aside and said a few words to him, but the monkey was in high spirits and was not willing to listen to him.

The Bull Demon King came back with a gloomy face, drinking alone.

The banquet ended and the guests left.

"Toad, go to your Kanyuan Mountain. Brother, I have something to tell you."

The Bull Demon King said with a serious face.

"Hmm? Brother, let's go." Xiao Chen guessed something.

After saying goodbye to the monkey, the two men went to Kanyuan Mountain together.

Xiao Chen found a secret room, and the Bull Demon King used the sound-blocking technique again.

The two sat opposite each other. The Bull Demon King was silent for a long time before he slowly said:
"Toad, since I have accepted you as my brother, I have the responsibility to be your elder brother."

"I'm going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

"Brother, please speak."

Xiao Chen also said seriously.

"Reincarnation is the law of heaven and earth, and the Book of Life and Death is the book of man, controlling life and death."

"The monkey destroyed the Senluo Palace in the underworld today, and forced the sale of the Book of Life and Death, and killed so many ghost officials."

"It's a huge disaster."

"I'm afraid that soon, the Heavenly Court will send troops to attack us."

"This heaven and hell are not as simple as they seem."

"When I go to the underworld, I have to pay the toll and follow the rules."

"Let's talk about the Heavenly Palace. Not to mention the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, the Great Zhenwu Emperor, and the Great Master of Rescue, just the gods of the Thunder Division and the Fighting Division, which one of them is easy to deal with?"

"If you defeat 10,000 heavenly soldiers, 100,000 will come. If you defeat 100,000 heavenly soldiers, 1 million will come."

“This is a bottomless pit!”

The Bull Demon King stood up, sighed, and said:
"If the monkey is unlucky, he will soon die."

"If the monkey is lucky enough to be recruited to heaven and serve as a heavenly official, that would be fine."

"But you know the monkey's temperament. How can he be content with what he has?"

"I'm afraid it's hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a disaster."

"We are sworn brothers. You call me Big Brother and I call you Brother."

"You're having a little trouble, so I'm giving you a hand. I got an opportunity, so I'm going to share some with you. This is what I should do as a brother."

"But, monkeys are such a disaster..."

"If the Heavenly Court raises an army to attack, what can I do?"

"Knowing it's impossible, do you still want to risk your life and property to go with him?"

"I, Old Cow, don't have any great ambitions. I don't want to be recruited. I can't be a god who is forced to be pure and abstain from desires and abide by the laws of heaven."

"Gods cannot fall in love, marry, or have children. What's the point of living like this?"

"I just want to find a piece of land in the lower world, establish my own territory, be a good demon king, marry a bunch of beautiful wives and concubines, and multiply and expand my bloodline."

"When I have nothing to do, I go have a drink with my brothers to relieve my boredom."

"Isn't this a bad life?"

"I, Old Niu, have resisted before, but I've been in this demon world for a long time and have seen a lot."

"Toad, this is the rule of this world. There are some things that cannot be helped. Compromise when necessary, and be timid when necessary."

"I can see that you are actually the same person as me, and you also yearn for a comfortable and happy life."

"It's just that you and Monkey have a deep bond, and you are brothers in life and death."

At this point, Bull Demon King looked at Xiao Chen seriously, patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder, and said seriously:

"Toad, I'm afraid you're going too far."

"do you understand?"

Xiao Chen was silent for a while.

The Bull Demon King said no more. He just lowered his head and walked towards the door with heavy steps.

"Big brother."

Xiao Chen suddenly stood up and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King paused, turned around, and smiled:

"Toad, the monkey has caused trouble now and offended the Heavenly Court. Now that he has caught the Heavenly Court's eye, I'm afraid he will no longer be the cool and elegant demon king."

"I tried to persuade him, but he couldn't listen to me at this moment."

"You have a good relationship with him, so maybe he will listen to you. You can persuade the monkey to control his temper. If there is a chance, he should give in and be a good official in heaven."

When he reached the door, the Bull Demon King paused again, without turning back. He was silent for a long time, looking straight in the direction of the Flower-Fruit Mountain, and said:
"Toad, if the monkey doesn't listen."

"This Flower-Fruit Mountain, you just..."

"Stop going."

……

But I want to ask that holy and benevolent Jade Emperor in the sky, who was sitting in the Lingxiao Palace of the Golden Palace, gathering the civil and military officials for the morning court. Suddenly, the immortal Qiu Hongji said:

"Your Majesty, the King of the Underworld, Qin Guang, has brought a memorial from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Lord of the Underworld."
