Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 542 The Power of Faith Returns to Flower Fruit Mountain

The three rhinoceros demons remained silent for a while before saying, "Elder, do you have any good suggestions?"

Jiang Liuer pondered for a moment and said, "The entire India is Buddhist territory. Although you are safe for now and have not been discovered by the Buddhists, once this goes on, the truth will come out and you will surely face great disaster. Therefore, the best course of action now is to leave India and find another place of practice."

The "King of Summer Retreat" suddenly raised his voice, "Leaving here is fine, let's leave here, what do you say, brother?"

The three demons were very clever and naturally knew that what Jiang Liuer said was not an exaggeration, but a fact that was absolutely clear.

If nothing has been discovered yet, then everything is naturally fine.

But if, in the worst possible way, the Buddhist community discovers this, it will be a catastrophe.

Although the three demons could dominate an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, they were demon kings in one region.

But ultimately, he wasn't even a Great Immortal.

Before Buddhism, they are like three tiny ants, easily crushed with a flick of the wrist.

After considering for a moment, the King of Avoiding the Cold asked, "Elder, do you have any recommendations for a place to go?"

Jiang Liuer looked at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Why don't we go to the place where I, Old Sun, used to live?"

"Where did your senior live back then?"

The three demons looked bewildered, blinking their puzzled eyes at Sun Wukong, completely confused.

Jiang Liuer patted his head. They really were three incredibly reclusive demons.

"Do you know that more than five hundred years ago, the Monkey King wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, defeated the three great Buddhas of Buddhism, and was only suppressed by the intervention of a sage?"

The three demons looked at each other, shook their heads in bewilderment, and said, "Elders, we three have been in Jinping Prefecture for a long time, and we really don't know much about other things."

Jiang Liuer had no choice but to bite the bullet and recount the story of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

After the story was told, stars lit up the eyes of the three demons.

Havoc in Heaven!

With his own strength, he defeated the gods of the Combat Department, Fire Department, Water Department, and Thunder Department!

They decisively defeated the three great Buddhist masters, forcing even a sage to intervene!

Was all of this done by this unassuming monkey?

It's simply unimaginable, utterly unbelievable!

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "The place I'm talking about is where I used to live. It's located in the Eastern Continent, next to Aolai Country. It's known as the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. It's called Flower Fruit Mountain."

"Huaguo Mountain"

The three demons murmured to themselves.

"On Flower Fruit Mountain, there are my sworn brothers, each of whom is a local overlord or a demon king. If you go there, you will surely become good brothers with them."

Those seeking refuge from the heat and those seeking refuge from the dust all turned to those seeking refuge from the cold, waiting for them to make a decision.

Bi Han listened, gritted his teeth, and said, "Alright, then I'll listen to the elders. But could we stay until today to enjoy this delicious sesame oil?"

"That's natural. A few days later or a few days earlier won't make a big difference."

Jiang Liuer readily nodded.

After saying this, Bi Han suddenly looked towards Jinping Prefecture.

"Without anyone to protect it, how can Jinping Prefecture expect favorable weather and abundant harvests?"

Bi Han was a sentimental person who didn't want to see the people of Jinping Prefecture go hungry and cold after they left.

Jiang Liuer said solemnly, "In the end, people still have to rely on themselves. The way of heaven turns, and the sun and moon never cease. The good weather and abundant harvests obtained by relying on others are not the true path. Look at Jinping Prefecture now. The grain is plentiful, but the people no longer cherish it. Leftover steamed buns and dumplings, and unfinished wine are everywhere. You can protect the people of Jinping Prefecture for a while, but can you protect them forever?"

The three demons fell silent, then nodded emphatically, "The elder is right."

Jiang Liuer paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, it is you who have made contributions to the people of Jinping Prefecture over the years, not those few bodhisattvas from Buddhism. It is only natural that the truth has come to light."

The three demons felt a chill run down their spines. "If we expose ourselves, won't the Buddhist sect find out even faster?"

Jiang Liuer laughed, "You've been impersonating the Buddha in Jinping Prefecture for more than a year or two, have you ever been discovered by the Buddhist sect? Don't worry, you won't be discovered anytime soon."

The three demons nodded. "Alright, then we'll do as the elder says."

In the blink of an eye, a night has passed, and darkness has returned to day.

In Jinping Prefecture, the oil vats in front of every household are now empty. But unlike previous Lantern Festivals, this time, there are three wooden carvings in the oil vats, exactly like the three kings who ward off the cold, the heat, and the dust.

Soon, the sky brightened a bit more, and everyone got up. Without exception, there were three wooden carvings in the oil vat.

Meanwhile, everyone had a wonderful dream that night.

In the dream, three rhinoceros demons recounted the entire story to the people of Jinping Prefecture.

At this moment, the people of Jinping Prefecture were completely in an uproar!

Unbelievable, unimaginable! The Buddha who has protected them for countless years is actually a demon in disguise!

Countless ordinary people couldn't accept this fact and threw the wooden carving into the garbage dump, loudly cursing the three rhinoceros demons.

Jiang Liuer and the others saw this and smiled slightly, but did not stop them.

Sun Wukong, however, couldn't stand it anymore. "Master, shouldn't we do something about it?"

"Don't worry about it. Soon the people of Jinping Prefecture will take these wood carvings home and cherish them."

Sun Wukong nodded and said nothing more.

Sure enough, a month passed in the blink of an eye!

That night, the starlight was exceptionally bright, illuminating the earth as if it were daytime.

Jiang Liuer observed the stars at night and said calmly, "A severe drought is coming. This drought is unprecedented. We don't need to stay here any longer. Let's continue westward."

As expected, Jiang Liuer was right about everything.

Jinping Prefecture was hit by a severe drought, and all the wheat seedlings in the fields withered and died.

The water level in the lakes has dropped by more than 70%, and some lakes have even dried up completely.

However, Jiang Liuer and his group had already been away from Jinping Prefecture for almost half a month.

The people of Jinping Prefecture then remembered the goodness of the Buddha, or rather, the rhinoceros spirit.

They retrieved the discarded wooden carvings, washed them clean, applied the finest lacquer, and enshrined them in their homes, burning incense three times morning and evening to pray for blessings and for the drought to end soon.

At this moment, the three demons arrived in Dongsheng Shenzhou, covered in dust. Just as they found the three rhinoceros horns of Huaguo Mountain, their bodies suddenly trembled. An indescribable power of faith surged into their bodies, causing them to open their eyes wide and groan comfortably.

"This, this is the power of faith!"

"That elder wasn't lying after all; coming to the Eastern Continent was the right decision!"

"Brother, should we help the people of Jinping Prefecture?"

Bichen raised a question.

Bi Han thought for a moment and said, "We are not in Jinping Prefecture now, so even if we wanted to do our best, we couldn't. But since the power of faith of the people of Jinping Prefecture has fallen on us across thousands of miles, let's do our best to help them."

"Yes, brother."

Through the power of this faith, the three demons protected the people of Jinping Prefecture, ensuring good weather and abundant harvests.
