Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 6: A Visitor from Tiger Roaring Mountain

The top of Jindou Mountain.

After handing the three precious energies to the peach tree, Niu Yi returned to his fenced garden and began his daily routine of growing vegetables and hoeing the land.

This garden, like the peach tree, was cultivated when he first came to Jindou Mountain. The garden is not big, only about three acres in size, and it is planted with vegetables, fruit trees, and even a small pond with lotus flowers.

I don’t know if it’s because of Niu Yi or for some other reason, but Jindou Mountain is no different from the outside world all year round, except for the top of the mountain, where it is spring all year round.

This gave Niu Yi great convenience, especially his garden, where he could grow vegetables all year round. The vegetables grew very well because of the invisible nourishment from his precious energy.

Niu Yi rolled up his sleeves, picked up the small shovel leaning against the fence, and walked into the ditches in the field like an ordinary old farmer, loosening the soil and weeding the vegetable fields in the garden.

"These cabbages are almost ripe. I can make some pickled cabbage later."

"The white radish is growing very well. It looks like we'll be able to eat it in half a month."

"Hey~ These peppers are growing more than the last batch, that's good~"

Niu Yi looked at the huge cabbage in front of him that was almost as tall as his waist, the lantern-sized white radishes in the field, and the pepper trees that were two people tall, and felt extremely satisfied.

In Niu Yi's view, his reincarnation as the Multi-Treasure Divine Bull was simply a holy body for farming. Just a slight touch of the precious aura on his body would make these ordinary vegetables and fruits grow very well.

Just when Niu Yi was busy in the garden, a two-and-a-half-meter-tall, iron-tower-like man with horns and armor was walking up the mountain from the path carrying a steel fork.

"Chief! Chief Niu Yi!"

The strong man was seen calling Niu Yi's name in a loud voice on the top of the mountain.

"Niu Li? What's wrong?"

Hearing Niu Yi's relaxed and lazy voice, Niu Li walked quickly towards the garden. He stood outside the fence, looking helplessly at Niu Yi, who was bending over with a yellowish-brown light in his hands, and loosening the soil for the vegetables with earth escape.

"Chief, you are doing these things again. Why don't you just let the little demons below do it?"

This leader possesses the strength of a demon general, a natural-born, natural-born demon! He is incredibly skilled and even possesses legendary magical powers.

When Niu Yi first came to Jindou Mountain, he was originally the demon king of Jindou Mountain. After being defeated by Niu Yi, he led all the bull demons in Jindou Mountain to worship Niu Yi and respect Niu Yi as king. However, Niu Yi was unwilling to be king and only regarded himself as the leader.

That would have been fine, but Niu Li originally thought that he and other monsters, under the leadership of the extremely capable Niu Yi, would rule over the 500-li area near Jindou Mountain and conquer a vast territory!

but the result
It has been eight years since this leader came to Jindou Mountain. Not only has he never thought of expanding his territory, but he has also gone down the mountain only a handful of times in these eight years.

Every day he is either taking care of the garden on the mountain, or using his legendary magical powers to fertilize and loosen the soil for the trees and vegetables on Jindou Mountain!
I heard that humans like to use their cattle to plow the fields the most. If domestic cattle become spirits, it is understandable that they retain their daily habits.

But they were free-ranging wild buffalo, not those tied-up domestic cattle! Besides, wasn't their chief, Niu Yi, a natural-born and naturally-raised alien?

I heard from that kid Niu Feng, what is the chief called? Zhai Niu?
These words were probably taught to Niu Feng by the leader. Although he didn't know what these two words meant, he unexpectedly felt that it was appropriate to use this word to describe the leader!
"Hey~ You guy, why didn't you eat these dishes? Can those little bull spirits take care of you as well as I can?"

Niu Yi glared at Niu Li unhappily. How could he not know what this guy was thinking!
He thinks about expanding his territory every day. Those who know him think he is a mountain bull spirit, while those who don't know him think he is a prince in the world! What use can those hundreds of miles of territory be to Niu Yi?

Besides, what's the point of all the fighting? Wouldn't it be better to just plant some vegetables, raise some trees, and water some flowers in Jindou Mountain, grow steadily, and wait for the Flat-Horned Green Ox to descend to the mortal world and cling to his patron saint, so that he could ascend to the sky in one step?!
This is the world of Journey to the West! It's dangerous, okay?
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you're here for! Don't delay me from loosening the soil."

Niu Li was even more helpless, but he had no other choice but to say:

"Chief, another demon has returned to Tiger Roar Mountain. It claims that less than two weeks are left before the Tiger Roar King's Immortal Meeting begins. We need your response."

Niu Yi stopped what he was doing when he heard this, stuck the shovel in the ground, stood up and looked at Niu Li, saying:
"Just tell it that I will come when the time comes and send it away."

Niu Yi was talking, but he suddenly stopped talking before he finished. He looked at the dirt road leading up the mountain not far away, frowned slightly, and his figure quickly merged into the ground and disappeared.

Niu Li saw his leader suddenly disappear, and he seemed to have thought of something. "Not good!"

Niu Li's expression changed, demonic energy rose from his body, and he quickly ran towards the dirt road down the mountain!

On the hillside of Jindou Mountain, a group of calf demons were holding steel pitchforks, looking at the eagle demon opposite them with a pair of white wings, an eagle nose and a pointed beak, and a sinister look with a look of vigilance and fear!
"Ouch."

Among them, a bull demon in a white robe was holding a little bull demon who was lying on the ground with his arm bent, crying and snotting in pain.

It looked at the monster opposite it, feeling frightened and angry, but it still tried to suppress it and said:
"Dear guest! We at Jindou Mountain treat you with courtesy, why would you attack and injure a monster?"

"Humph!"

But the eagle demon snorted disdainfully, not even looking at the bull demons, and said contemptuously:

"This Jindou Mountain is within the sphere of influence of my Tiger Roar King. He is a subordinate of my King! How dare Niu Yi act so arrogantly and ask us to wait? Humph! What a jerk!"

"I want to see that Niu Yi now! If he dares to show up even a moment later, I'll eat him like a bull demon!"

As the eagle demon spoke, a raging wind blew up around him, his power unparalleled. The bull demons on the ground couldn't even open their eyes!
This is actually an eagle demon in the late stage of the great demon world!
"Who are you going to eat?"

Hearing the sudden, light words in his ears, the eagle demon's face changed drastically! He felt a chill rising up his spine!

It subconsciously wanted to flap its wings to leave the spot, but the eagle demon suddenly felt that its left wing was pinched by something and it could not move!

The eagle demon quickly turned his head and saw a white, slender hand grabbing his wings. He didn't see how hard the hand was holding, but he felt an irresistible force coming, making him unable to move!

The eagle demon looked back at the handsome young man in green clothes and said in shock and anger:

"Niu Yi?! I am! Ah————"

Before the eagle demon could finish shouting, a shrill scream came out of its mouth!

Feeling the severe pain of bone tearing from its back, the eagle demon did not dare to stay. It screamed and flapped its remaining wings, and rushed into the sky quickly as a gust of evil wind blew.

The eagle demon staggered and turned around in mid-air, looking at Niu Yi below with bloodshot eyes!

"Niu Yi!!! How dare you hurt me!!!"

Niu Yi looked at the bloody wing that he had torn off in his hand, threw it aside with disgust, looked up at the eagle demon, and said lightly:
"Tell King Tiger Roar that I, Niu Yi, will go to the Immortal Meeting when the time comes. As for now, you can get out of here."

After Niu Yi finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the furious and frightened eagle demon and walked towards his little bull demon.

"you!!!"

Seeing that Niu Yi actually ignored him, the Eagle Demon laughed in anger and said:

"Alright, alright, you bull spirit! You knew I was sent by the king, yet you still dared to hurt me! Wait until the meeting of the gods begins! I will make you pay!"

After the eagle demon finished speaking, he felt the severe pain from the wound on his back, and looked at his wings that had been torn off on the ground, his eyes filled with bloodshot!

But he knew that he was no match for Niu Yi, so he gritted his teeth and flew away quickly on the evil wind!

He would make Niu Yi pay the price! One day, he would remove Niu Yi's horns and mount them in his cave, admiring them day and night!

Niu Yi looked up at the flying eagle demon, a hint of pity in his eyes.

"It is pitiful to be unaware of the imminent disaster."
