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

Chapter 71 The Power of the Lotus Lantern
The trip to Mount Huashan had many twists and turns, but he was lucky. He finally got the Precious Lotus Lantern, and the Jade Rabbit Pestle was an unexpected surprise.

After walking for a few days, they arrived about a thousand miles outside Huashan.

Xiao Chen's mind moved, and he entered the world of Qiankun in his belly, and looked up.

This old bull demon is currently receiving today's punishment in the "prison cell".

In the prison cell, the old ox was placed horizontally on a rack.

A sword-wielding strong man held a long sword and pierced through the old ox's body from back to front, pulling it out, then inserting it again, pulling it out, and inserting it again.

At this time, the old ox was tortured to the point of being on the verge of death, screaming in agony, unable to live or die.

"Moo, moo, moo!"

"My lord, please spare me and let me die a quick death!"

When the old yellow bull demon saw Xiao Chen, he was so excited that he swung his limbs, twisted his body, and kept wailing and begging.

The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. Compared with the skinning prison, tongue-pulling prison, tendon-hanging prison, intestine-pulling prison, oil-pot prison... in the underworld, his punishment was actually a small scene.

Is he kind?

He read the eighteen kinds of tortures from hell and memorized them all, but he had never used them on the old bull demon.

However, this old ox will be of great use in the future, so it would be a bad idea to let him die now.

Xiao Chen waved his hand to the sword-wielding warrior, indicating that today's punishment should end here.

The rack disappeared, and the old ox fell down with a bang, hitting the ground heavily, its limbs twitching and foaming at the mouth.

Xiao Chen was too lazy to call him. He just thought about it and conjured up a basin of thick salt water, which he poured onto the old ox.

Salt was sprinkled on the wound, and the old ox swung its four hooves and jumped up with a "whoosh".

"My lord, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

The old ox cried bitterly, and despite such torture, his eyes revealed a deep sense of remorse.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "Old Yellow Ox, help me do one thing and I will reduce your sentence."

"My lord, you can ask Xiao Niu to do anything, anything you want!"

The old ox knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Last time you said that Liu Mingyan was just a cover."

"Behind him, is there another happy Zen disciple like you, giving him advice and strategies? Or even protecting him?"

Xiao Chen pressed.

"Yes, as a mortal scholar, I am usually powerless, which makes it easy for the fairies to let down their guard and feel sympathy for me, so I can get what I want."

The old ox said cautiously.

"Find me the person behind Liu Mingyan, and I will reduce your sentence a bit in the near future."

Xiao Chen made promises to the old ox.

"My lord, is it true? Is it true?"

Upon hearing this, the old ox burst into tears and could hardly believe his ears.

He has suffered so much for decades. If he could start over again, if there was a pill to make him regret, he would never touch the demon-like Kanyuan Mountain.

Only he knew how cruel this monster was.

"I, your Majesty, will not lie to you."

Xiao Chen said lightly.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Xiao Chen instructed the old ox.

The old ox naturally did as he was told.

Xiao Chen crushed a five-element poison pill, snapped his fingers, and shot it into the old ox's mouth.

With this poison pill, he can control the life and death of the old ox at any time and doesn't have to worry about him running away.

So, Xiao Chen opened his mouth and spit out the old ox from the world of Qiankun in his stomach.

As soon as the old ox was released, it was so excited that it kept calling out "Moo, moo, moo!"

God knows how this demon has tortured him, the old ox, for decades! "Uh..."

To Xiao Chen's surprise, he thought that this old ox would be dishonest and would resist and run away or something.

Unexpectedly, the first thing this old ox did when it came out was to run into the fields and eat other people's wheat seedlings.

The corner of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. Over the years, he really didn't care whether the old yellow cow monster was hungry or not. When he remembered, he would throw some food into it, or the world in his stomach would naturally produce some fake grass for him to eat.

I saw this old ox happily eating the wheat seedlings.

Xiao Chen's mind moved, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang fused with his index finger turned into a whip. Xiao Chen whipped the old ox with the whip and cursed:
"Don't be like some people who wantonly destroy other people's crops. These are the crops that farmers have worked so hard to grow."

The old ox demon didn't care about all that at the moment. He spread out his four hooves and ran to the mountain to find some wild grass and tree bark to eat.

The old bull demon ate happily for half a day, and only stopped when his belly was swollen.

Xiao Chen was also somewhat helpless, but he didn't know what to say. After all, he was not a blood-sucking worm from later generations.

You want the cows to work, but you don't want them to eat grass.

"Old ox, you've eaten enough, it's time to get back to work! Go find someone!"

Xiao Chen cursed angrily, then activated his magical power of "Big and Small Ruyi" and transformed into a pocket-sized golden toad the size of a finger, which he hung on the old ox's shoulder like a pendant.

The old ox transformed into a bald-headed man in yellow clothes, riding on a cloud. He used their own special way of communication to look for disciples of the Huanxi Zen Sect near Mount Hua.

A few days later, in a small town more than 2,000 miles away from Mount Hua.

The old bull demon stopped outside a desolate and poor courtyard.

"Your Senior Brother Liu Mingyan hasn't returned yet. Something might have gone wrong."

"Liu Hongyan, go again."

"Remember what the master said, Hongyan, the Third Holy Mother is kind and gentle, she won't kill anyone. When you go to the Third Holy Mother Temple, go and pester her."

"The more unbridled your behavior is, the better. It doesn't matter if you write erotic poems, have erotic dreams, or do obscene actions. Your life won't be in danger."

"do you understand?"

A gloomy voice was heard from the main courtyard.

"Master, I understand."

"But immortals and mortals are not allowed to fall in love. If I succeed, won't I be punished for this?"

A childish, yet bookish voice asked.

"It's okay. She can only suffer for a dozen years. It's not a big deal. Her brother Yang Jian has extraordinary abilities. How could he let her suffer?"

"Hehehe, Hongyan, you are blessed, but if you have the chance, don't forget your teacher."

"Let me play with that fairy..."

"Hehehe, disciple will never forget Master's kindness."

The sounds of two people's obscene discussions could be heard in the yard.

At Xiao Chen's signal, Lao Huangniu pushed the door open and went in.

"who is it?"

A bald man in black clothes looked sideways with a wary look on his face.

When he saw that it was the old yellow bull demon, the bald man in black was relieved and greeted him, "Huang Zhenzi, you have been trying to seduce the Weaver Girl but to no avail. The Happy Buddha is very angry."

Upon hearing this, the old ox turned away without saying a word. He did not dare to talk to the bald man in black, for fear of making Xiao Chen angry.

The bald man in black clothes asked curiously: "Huang Zhenzi..."

I think the Three Holy Mothers are more difficult to deal with. This bald man in black is much more powerful than the old bull monster and has reached the realm of Xuanxian.

However, to Xiao Chen now, they are all just little cuties.

Xiao Chen waved his hand casually, and the power of the Precious Lotus Lantern surged out from his heart and radiated to his right hand. A green light flashed, and tremendous power was exerted, directly hitting the bald man in black and smashing through the wall.

Xiao Chen stretched out his right index finger, which was transformed from the golden hoop stick. The index finger instantly became a hundred feet in size. Xiao Chen stretched out his finger and lightly tapped, one by one, crushing the bald man in black and Liu Hongyan into two balls of meat paste.

After the death of the bald man in black, his true appearance was revealed, and he turned out to be a big black mule.
