The vast 800-mile Lion Camel Ridge is a scene of prosperity and bustling, with humans and monsters passing through it and coexisting in harmony, as if it has painted a peaceful picture rarely seen in the world.
Since the Lion and Camel King came to power here, he has governed wisely, planned carefully, and established iron laws to strictly prohibit unwarranted killings. This has made this land a well-known haven, attracting many human beings from the surrounding areas to come and settle here.
However, in recent days, Shituo's country has been shrouded in a cloud of uneasiness, with demonic hearts floating around and people panicking.
The reason is that a few days ago, the king claimed that he had important matters that needed to be handled personally, so he led the elite warriors of the human and demon tribes and left in a mighty manner. Since then, there has been no news, as if he has disappeared from the world.
Not long after, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky. A huge lion, covered in blood, stumbled back to its territory. The appearance was tragic and shocking.
However, among the warriors who accompanied the king on the expedition, whether they were humans or monsters, very few returned, all with sad faces and silence, adding to the ominous feeling.
The residents of the Lion and Camel Kingdom can't help but worry. If something happens to the king, can the hard-won peace and prosperity be maintained?
Without the protection of the king, can they continue to enjoy this stable life, free from external intrusions and threats? For a time, the entire lion and camel kingdom was enveloped in a feeling of uneasiness and confusion.
...
Inside the palace, it was luxurious and peaceful. The Lion and Camel King lay lazily on a large carved bed, surrounded by dozens of women and banshees of various beauties.
They either massaged him gently to soothe him, or carefully combed his majestic hair. Some of them even waved their feather fans lightly to disperse the stuffy heat and mosquitoes around him, showing respect and hospitality in their manners.
For these servants, if they can win the favor of the Lion and Camel King, it is a supreme honor, and it is more likely to bring indescribable blessings to the family, so that everyone in the family, young and old, can bask in the glory of the glory.
However, the lion and camel king's heart was full of chaos and confusion.
He stared blankly at the dazzling golden dome above his head, with a myriad of thoughts.
The heroic ambitions before the expedition seemed to be in vain at this moment. Why did that battle end in such a situation? Why was the gap between the battle with the heavens so huge and almost vulnerable to a single blow?
Recalling the seventh brother's vows, his words were in stark contrast to the reality in front of him, which made the Lion and Camel King feel doubtful.
Could it be that all of this is a scam? The seventh brother, the brother he trusted deeply, was actually an undercover agent? This thought penetrated into his heart like a poisonous thorn, making it difficult for him to let go.
No! He must ask the monkey to find out and uncover all the mysteries. His demon brothers cannot be sacrificed in vain, and their blood cannot be shed in vain!
"Your Majesty, the information has arrived! We spent a lot of money to search in the 'Zhihu' pawnshop at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, and finally found the whereabouts of Sun Wukong." A sparrow fairy hurriedly walked into the hall.
The Lion and Camel King gently waved his sleeves, and the maids surrounding him quietly retreated to the side as if being pulled by invisible forces. Then they seemed to understand something, and one by one they bent down and bowed and left from behind.
He stood up slowly, his posture was tall and straight, his majesty was self-generated, and an aura of a king who was not angry and self-power filled the air. "Come quickly!" The lion and camel king's voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.
The sparrow demon hurriedly took a few steps forward and reported respectfully: "According to the cat steward at the Zhihu pawnshop in Guanjiangkou, Sun Wukong was brave at first during the battle of 'Havoc in Heaven', but was later besieged and finally escaped with the art of transformation.
He fled all the way to the west until he reached the West Heaven Gate, where he happened to be guarded by Tathagata Buddha. The two made a bet. If Wukong could jump out of the Buddha's palm with a somersault cloud, the demon world in heaven would respect him as the leader; if not, he would be allowed to live in the lower world.
Demon, no longer interfere in heavenly affairs."
When the Lion and Camel King heard this, he frowned slightly. The Lion and Camel Kingdom was adjacent to Lingshan Mountain in the west. He had heard about the magical powers of those Bodhisattvas and knew that they should not be underestimated. From this point of view, Sun Wukong's defeat was certain.
"Then what happened to him in the end?" The Lion and Camel King asked in a deep voice.
The sparrow demon sighed and continued: "After all, Sun Wukong failed to jump out of the Buddha's palm. Instead, he was knocked down by the Buddha's palm and pressed near the ancestral land of the human race. His five fingers turned into the Five Elements Mountain, trapping him firmly.
The Buddha even sent experts from five directions to uncover the secrets and Buddhist masters to guard it strictly. There were also many restrictions and magic circles to block it, so that it could not escape. As for the method of cracking and the details of the protection, although Mao Guanshi said it was available, it would cost extra.
The demon doesn’t dare to be good at it, so I came here to ask the king for instructions.”
After hearing this, the Lion and Camel King had mixed feelings in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he felt helpless at the price offered by the sparrow demon and waved his hand to signal him to retreat. At the same time, he was secretly planning his next move.
Speaking of Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun at Guanjiangkou, this is a famous existence in the three realms. His reputation is enough to make the Jade Emperor feel troublesome. What's more, he is the Jade Emperor's nephew, possessing unique skills and magical powers, and his magical power is unfathomable.
.
However, among these many legends, a newly emerged store called "Zhihu" in Guanjiangkou is even more mysterious.
The owner of this shop, Mao Guanshi, claims that his shop is omnipotent and can trade anything. It is even rumored that as long as you spend enough and your membership level increases, you can even get a glimpse of the private things of the gods.
The scope of influence is staggering.
It can be described as "horrible"!
Thinking of this, the Lion and Camel King couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. After all, he was short of money at the moment. In order to compensate the families of his men who died in the war, he spent almost all his money. His family was already empty, so where could he buy any intelligence materials.
But then I thought about it, I just went to the top of a hill in the lower world and asked a few questions, so what danger could there be?
He did what he said, and the Lion and Camel King did not hesitate. With a wave of his cloak, it turned into a dazzling golden stream of light, burst out of the door, and shot straight into the sky.
However, just when the golden stream of light was about to pass through the Gangfeng layer, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier, and it suddenly stopped. Then the light dissipated, revealing the lion and camel king covering his forehead with a sullen look on his face.
Suddenly, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared in the sky, like a meteor streaking across the sky, and in an instant it was in front of the Lion and Camel King.
The light faded away, revealing a handsome young man in white robes, holding an ebony folding fan, leaning leisurely, with a strange silver pattern looming between his eyebrows, giving him an otherworldly aura that made people dare not look at him.
What's even more striking is that there is a little yellow cat sitting leisurely on his shoulder. The furry little body is a bit childish and cute, and the blue eyes are as clear and bright as the sea, which not only adds a bit of vitality, but also
The lion and camel king felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.
The lion camel king's eyes narrowed, his heart suddenly became alert, and he asked in a deep voice: "Heaven's Eye? Is this your Excellency Yang Jian? Why are you blocking my way?"
Yang Jian gently shook the folding fan, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his tone was calm but unquestionable: "I just want to prevent you from getting into danger, so that you don't waste your life."
When the Lion and Camel King heard this, he couldn't help laughing loudly, which shook the whole country: "In this world, there are only a handful of people who can take my life. I can come and go freely in the important land of heaven, but even if there are thousands of troops and horses on a small hill, I can
What can I do?"
Before he finished speaking, the corners of Yang Jian's lips slightly raised, and his movements were extremely casual, but he had already grabbed the lion and camel king by the throat. Then he turned around and tapped his feet lightly. As if they had crossed the boundaries of time and space, the two of them disappeared instantly.
.
Only a piece of long white clouds were left on the spot, dancing lightly in the wind, as if nothing had happened.
…
The Five Elements Mountain has five peaks like pillars, reaching straight into the sky. It is majestic and awe-inspiring.
As soon as the lion camel Wang Fu stepped into this area, he stumbled involuntarily and almost fell to the ground. He quickly stabilized his body and raised his hands, feeling an inexplicable sense of depression enveloped his whole body.
It turns out that this place has been shrouded by an exquisite five-element formation, and the magic power has been imprisoned, making it difficult to use it at all.
Looking up at the majestic Five Elements Mountain, the Buddha's light is shining, the fresh air is lingering, and the traces left by many great supernatural beings can be vaguely seen, as well as the layers of powerful restrictions, which makes people shudder.
The Lion and Camel King was secretly frightened. If Yang Jian hadn't rescued him in time, he would have been killed if he had rushed in rashly.
After a moment of silence, the Shitu King turned to Yang Jian aside, bowed deeply, and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much for your life-saving grace, Shitu. I will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life. If the real king has any mission, Shitu and our Shitu Kingdom
Up and down, we will fight to the death."
Everything in the world has cause and effect, and the Lion and Camel King knows this very well. This true king will naturally not aim at nothing when he comes to rescue, but must have something to ask for.
Yang Jian gently shook the folding fan and smiled calmly: "No need to say death, I just want you and all the people of your Shitu Kingdom to move to my Guanjiang estuary."
As soon as these words came out, the Lion and Camel King couldn't help but be stunned. Guanjiang Estuary was now prosperous. If Yang Jian gave the order, both the human and demon worlds would flock to it. Why did he choose himself?
"Zhenjun, why is this?" The lion and camel king's curiosity was completely aroused, and he couldn't help but ask.
He thinks he has no shortcomings as a demon, and he is not like those big demons who like to eat people. The biggest problem may be curiosity, and he likes to break the casserole and ask the truth about everything he encounters.
Otherwise, like the other demon saints who escaped this time, he would have found a poor place to hide, and would not have thought of coming to question Sun Wukong.
Hearing this, Yang Jian sighed softly, as if he had something to hide: "Maybe it's because I still have a trace of conscience."
After speaking, he waved his folding fan, and a breeze blew by. The lion and camel king felt his eyes blurred. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer where he was. Only Yang Jian's unquestionable instructions were left in his ears: "Within three days, we must lead the lion and camel king."
All races and monsters in the Tuo Kingdom should move to Guanjiangkou to settle down, otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk."
The Lion and Camel King stood there with mixed feelings in his heart.
…
Three days later, the sky changed color, and a thick black cloud, like a sign of doom, suddenly descended on the airspace of the Lion and Camel Kingdom.
Among the black clouds, three huge figures loomed - a roc demon with wings spread, a majestic lion demon, and a powerful elephant demon. They were surrounded by overwhelming evil aura and terrifying
The black air is intimidating.
When these three peerless monsters looked down, they saw that the prosperous lion and camel kingdom in the past was completely silent for eight hundred miles. Not even a trace of life was left, not even a tree, flower or grass was left.
The demons couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion.
"What...what is going on? When did the Lion and Camel King leave this land without a trace?" There was a hint of disbelief in the Dapeng Demon's voice.
The lion demon and the elephant demon also looked confused.
What should we do now? Isn’t our mission in vain? Are we really going to return to Lingshan and use those innocent believers as the ‘results’ of our mission?
What does that count? Is there any demon character left?
"Although there are human beings gathering in other places, there are often powerful guards behind them, and it is not easy to take them by force. It seems that we can only suffer from some of our own people in Lingshan." Peng Yao said lightly.
Thinking of this, the two demons couldn't help but feel bitter in their hearts, but this was for the sake of the overall situation. At the worst, they would give generous compensation to those "victims" so that they could have a good pregnancy in the next life and enjoy happiness in the world.
"Good, good!" the Dapeng demon chanted softly, with a compassionate face.
…
The ninth heaven, heaven.
The re-convened Peach Conference slowly kicked off, with fairy music floating in the air, as if melodiously descending from the nine heavens, intertwined with the faintly audible morning bells and evening drums in the forest, dragons and phoenixes dancing in the clouds, and cranes spreading their wings and singing loudly.
In the center of the Yaochi, a group of fairies spin lightly, with graceful figures and dancing skirts, painting the most beautiful picture in the world.
On the surrounding immortal table, immortals and gods gathered together, full of laughter. They held jade cups in their hands, sipping fine wine and jade liquid. The table was filled with crystal clear peaches and sparkling golden elixirs. Every bite was a tribute to the immortal cultivators.
For the nourishment, everyone’s face is filled with satisfaction and joy.
The peach feast was re-convened this time, of course, because it was a double happiness for the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
The primary joy is to celebrate Heaven's victory in the battle to eliminate demons, slaying countless demons and maintaining the majesty of Heaven and the order of the three realms. Even if there is a gap in the restriction on the Nantianmen, the first three heavens were plundered on a large scale.
, but that is just a touch of dust on the road to victory, which will eventually go away with the wind.
Of course, there are gains and losses in military affairs.
Furthermore, this event is also a recognition and feedback for the hard work of all the immortals. Especially for the unsatisfactory things that happened at the last Peach Fair, the Heavenly Court specially made up for it with this banquet to show its justice and love.
.
However, in the midst of this sea of celebration, General Shutter and Marshal Canopy sat silently at the last table of the banquet, looking at the still green three-thousand-year-old peach in front of them, feeling very painful in their hearts.
Since the Battle of the Gods, the situation of the two of them has gone from bad to worse. The glory of commanding thousands of troops in the past has become a thing of the past. Now not only can they no longer lead troops in battle, but even the flat peach, which symbolizes nobility and glory, can only be tasted by the two of them.
An unripe fruit.
The two of them sighed secretly, and an indescribable sadness surged into their hearts.
It’s time to kill the donkey!
I have done meritorious service for Heaven, and I have shed blood for Heaven! I want to see the Jade Emperor!
