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

Chapter 52: The Demon King Deploys His Troops

There is very little mention of Uttarakuru in Journey to the West, and the journey westward by Sun Wukong, Tang Monk and others has nothing to do with Uttarakuru. This place is shrouded in mystery.

The Tathagata Buddha did make a comment: "I have observed the four continents, and the good and evil of sentient beings vary greatly from place to place."

"The people of Dongsheng Shenzhou respect heaven and earth, and have a clear mind and calm temperament; the people of Beijuluzhou, although they like to kill, only do so to make a living, and are clumsy and indifferent, so they don't do much harm."

"The people of our Xiniuhe Continent are not greedy or murderous, they cultivate their spirits and spirits, although they are not the Supreme Truth, everyone lives a long life. But the people of Nanshanbu Continent are greedy, lustful and happy to cause trouble, they kill and quarrel a lot, they are just like the vicious field of tongues and the sea of ​​right and wrong. I now have the Three Treasures Sutra, which can persuade people to do good."

What the Buddha meant by this was that only the Dongsheng Shenzhou and his Xiniu Hezhou were good places.

The people of Jambudvīpa and Uttarakuru are places of greed, lust and murder. The people there are very bad and refuse to be educated, so he wants to spread the Tripitaka and persuade the people of the Tang Dynasty to be good.

However, these are the words of Buddha Tathagata after all, not the narration in the book.

The narration in the book represents objective facts.

What a person says carries a certain degree of subjective consciousness.

What does the Golden Winged Dapeng, the uncle of Tathagata Buddha, look like in the Lion Camel Ridge occupied by Xiniu Hezhou?
"There are mountains of skulls and forests of bones. Human hair has turned into felt sheets, and human flesh has rotted into dust. Human tendons are tangled around trees, dry and shiny like silver."

"The little demons in the east took people alive and cut their flesh off; the demons in the west boiled and cooked human flesh."

At the feet of the Buddha at the Leiyin Temple in the Western Paradise, A-Nan and Kashyapa actually stretched out their big hands and blatantly demanded a bribe from Tang Seng, threatening to pass on the wordless scriptures if he didn't give them money.

This move forced Tang Seng to obediently take out the purple gold bowl that Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, had given him and present it with both hands.

Even so, Tripitaka, Tripitaka, Tang Sanzang, of the three scriptures that were originally agreed upon, only one was passed on in the end.

From this, we can see that what Tathagata said, "I, the people of Xi Niu Hezhou, do not be greedy and do not kill." is indeed not very objective.

"Toad, I got a chance in Northern Juluzhou and became a disciple of a powerful demon. He taught me a lot of skills."

When the Demon King Jiao came to this point and mentioned his master, a rare smile appeared on his face that was filled with hatred and resentment.

"To be able to train Mo Lang to such a level in just over forty years, the demon clan master must be very extraordinary. I wonder who he is?"

Although Xiao Chen was curious, he did not ask any further questions.

After all, when people go out, they generally won't easily reveal their master's identity, just like the master Subhuti would not allow the monkey to tell.

"A few years ago, I heard that a great demon king, Sun Wukong, appeared in the Flower-Fruit Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou."

"I have heard of the name of the Monkey King in Uttarakuru."

"He caused quite a stir in Huaguo Mountain and destroyed the Senluo Palace in the underworld."

"I thought it might be the monkey, and I was afraid that he was in trouble. So I took advantage of the master's retreat to sneak out and take a look, and to help him."

"I didn't expect it. I went to Huaguo Mountain to ask around and found out that it was indeed the monkey. But the monkey actually ran away to heaven to be an official!"

Speaking of it.

Mo Lang's eyes were red with hatred. He patted his chest with his rough hands and said with gritted teeth:
"Toad, do you know that I have been suffering every day these years, like my heart is burned by the scorching sun?"

"Whenever it's late at night and everyone is asleep, my mind would be filled with images of my father, my mother, my brother, and my people being tragically killed by the heavenly soldiers and generals."

"I hate it!"

"I hate it!"

"I hate it!"

"We used to be brothers, how could he do this?"

Xiao Chen looked at Mo Lang, who was not very old but looked like an old man tortured by hatred, and a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes.

"Hey……"

At this moment, Xiao Chen had no words to comfort her, nor any good words to say.

Xiao Chen just hugged Mo Lang and patted his shoulder gently.

This is a unique way of comfort among men.

"Brother, give me a hug."

Just like the old song in later generations, it reveals the feelings between men:
Brother, you have lost weight and look tired!
The dust along the way cannot cover the cheeks of time!

Give me a hug, brother, and let your tears flow.

Let all the bitterness and pain buried deep in these years flow out...

……

That night, Xiao Chen accompanied Mo Lang for a drink.

Looking at Mo Lang who was drunk in front of him.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"I'm afraid Mo Lang didn't come back just to see the monkeys this time."

"His heart has been consumed by hatred, and now, that hatred can no longer be suppressed." The next day, Mo Lang woke up.

There was clearly a hint of vitality on his face, no longer the ugly and miserable look he had before.

"Mo Lang, since you are here, why not stay in my Kanyuan Mountain for a while." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, if that monkey comes, I will ask that monkey for clarification."

Mo Lang nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, Xiao Chenbian, with Tiegu, Qingmian and other core demon soldiers and generals under his command, accompanied Mo Lang to tour the scenery of the 600-li Kanyuan Mountain.

Mo Lang looked at the little demons in Kanyuan Mountain, shook his head and said:
"Toad, I see that although there are 20,000 demon soldiers in your Kanyuan Mountain, their discipline is loose, and the soldiers are not soldiers, and the generals are not generals."

"If a war breaks out in the future, not only will they not be able to help you, but they will become a burden to you."

"In a fight between two forces, it won't work if there are only generals but no soldiers."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. When it comes to commanding troops and deploying formations, this is certainly not his forte.

He was a person who traveled through time from the future. In his previous life, he had participated in military training, stepped into the square formation, touched the gun, and fired three blank bullets, but all of them missed.

In this world of Journey to the West, he has always been alone in practicing law, fighting for supremacy and ruthlessness. He has an iron-boned general under his command, so he simply throws all these things to him.

Behind Xiao Chen, Tiegu heard this and was indignant to see that although this man was a friend of the king, he insulted his professional ability in front of him. He could not help but say:

"King Molang, you said so, but I, Tiegu, do not agree!"

"Before I became a demon, I was also a general of Donglai State. I once commanded an army of 100,000. My family has been generals for generations. I conquered most of Donglai State!"

Mo Lang couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this:
"The celestial soldiers and generals are all elites of the human race, selected from thousands of people. They are so disciplined and well-commanded, not to mention the one who leads the celestial soldiers."

"Your mundane formation in this world is nothing more than a way for ordinary people to fight each other?"

"How can we fight against the immortal formations of the Heavenly Court?"

Tiegu was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

"However, even though his immortal Buddha has a formation, how can my demon race not have one?"

"You know, when it comes to battle formations, my demon race is the strongest!"

"Set up the formation. If my demon clan claims to be second, ask all the gods and Buddhas in the sky and let them speak the truth. Who dares to claim to be first?"

Mo Lang looked at Tiegu and gave him instructions.

"This……"

Tiegu was speechless for a moment. He used the formation he used to command mortal armies to command the little demon.

Didn’t you know that their demon clan also had a formation inheritance?

"Although my formation skills are not as good as Master's, I still know a little bit."

"Please send 3,650 capable demons to me and I will teach you."

"I'll let you know how powerful my demon clan's battle formation is!"

Mo Lang said.

Tiegu heard this and looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Tie Gu, just do as Brother Mo Lang said."

Not long after, in an open space of dozens of miles, all 3,650 demon soldiers and generals had gathered.

The monsters in his Kanyuan Mountain are not strong. These little monsters have a cultivation of about three hundred years, and the monster generals have a cultivation of five hundred years.

Compared with the current four demon generals, seventy-two great demon kings, and tens of thousands of demon soldiers and generals in Huaguo Mountain, it is certainly far inferior.

Mo Lang selected two capable demon generals to be the two main star array eyes, and used 365 little demons as branches, corresponding to the 365 main stars in the sky.

Mo Lang then asked the 365 little demons to each take eight or nine little demons and spread them into branches, meaning a sky full of stars.

It only took Mo Lang three months to train these 3,650 demon soldiers and generals, and he set up an extremely deep and murderous demon formation.

Tiegu waved his hand and gave an order, and the formation of the demon clan was deployed. It was of course well-organized in attack and defense, and its power was terrifying. Their combined attack was enough to match the power of a true immortal.

Xiao Chen looked at the 3,650 demon soldiers and generals in front of him, who seemed to have been reborn, and was also shocked. He sighed:
"What kind of formation is this, so powerful?"

“I really don’t know what kind of good fortune this Jiao Demon King got in Northern Julu Continent to learn such a powerful formation!”

Mo Lang took a look and was still not satisfied. He sighed:
"Toad, your demon soldiers from Kanyuan Mountain are too weak and not enough in number. They are still a little short."

“But if my master were to set up the formation, not to mention exerting the power of a True Immortal, even the power of a Mysterious Immortal would be no problem.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen could only smile helplessly:
"I didn't pay much attention to these military formations before, but now that I have obtained such a large formation, I will recruit more powerful little monsters in the future so that my Kanyuan Mountain can also have some self-defense power."
