Chapter 281: The Jiao Demon King invites you to drink, and Li Changgeng invites you
The Jade Emperor just followed Erlang Shen's way of encircling and suppressing the monsters in Jilei Mountain and made a random move.
The original intention was to let Taibai Jinxing explore the details of the Dragon Demon King, and then take the opportunity to let loose in the lower world... to capture a dragon and go up to heaven to guard the Lingxiao Palace.
But even the Jade Emperor sometimes makes miscalculations. He is not omniscient and omnipotent, but the authority of the Heavenly Emperor allows him to explore most things in the Three Realms.
Just for a moment, he was stabbed in the back by Taibai Jinxing.
This old man may have forgotten his vocation.
The Jade Emperor only heard that the Taibai Venus led the Demon King to heaven together, and he knew that it was the old man who persuaded the Demon King to surrender to heaven...
The Jiao Demon King's territory is in Beihai, but his life is not easy.
In fact, a rough calculation shows that among the four seas, only Beihai can accommodate monsters like him.
The East China Sea is the leader of the four seas. Not to mention the strength of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, it is just that the East China Sea was the base camp of Jie Jiao back then, so there is absolutely no place for it. Now that Jie Jiao has declined, Ke Peng Lai, the abbot and Yingzhou
There are still countless immortals on Sanxian Island, but even big demons like the Jiao Demon King dare to set up demon flags here, and no small demons dare to take refuge here.
Let’s talk about the South China Sea... let’s not mention the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea for now, but there is a great benevolent and compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea. If the demons here are encountered by this Bodhisattva, although they will not lose their lives, they will basically be washed away from their demonic nature.
It was raised in Luojia Mountain and became an ornamental pet.
Therefore, many demons who could not survive among the demon clan would take the initiative to go to the South China Sea to seek refuge with the Bodhisattva. Although they lost their freedom, they saved their lives.
Finally, there is the West Sea, where Ao Mo'ang, the number one master of the Dragon Clan, is stationed. Not even the Dragon Demon King can easily defeat him, and other monsters in the water don't even dare to act recklessly here.
It seems that Xihai is the weakest...but it is the most dangerous.
Because Ao Mo'ang, the eldest prince of the West Sea, really kills monsters if there are any.
Unlike the immortals from the East China Sea who act as they please, nor the compassion of a Bodhisattva...
Even if the Demon King is in Beihai, doesn't the Grand Prince of Xihai go to conquer him again and again?
The dragon is originally a dragon, and is supposed to be a subordinate of the dragon clan. However, the dragon demon king is extremely talented and has broken through the bloodline suppression. He has cultivated to this level with the dragon bloodline and is the only one among the dragon clan in the world except Ao Mo'ang.
One that can rival him.
It is said that this kind of dragon should be cared for by the dragon clan, but because he was repeatedly bullied by the real dragon when he was young... he has no sense of belonging to the dragon clan. After he worshiped Beiming and returned, he called himself Beiming.
Qianjiao even came to provoke many dragon palaces in the rivers, thus becoming famous.
Later, when he was wanted by the Dragon Clan, he simply set up a flag in Beihai as a demon and named him Jiao Demon King.
Originally, when the sect was still there, his life was free and happy, but suddenly one day, the sect fell, and the entire Beiming was almost banned...his life also became difficult.
And he became more and more low-key, easily not going ashore at all. That is, when he was sworn sworn to Sun Wukong and others, they met several times at Huaguo Mountain.
The relationship between the Jiao Demon King and the Bull Demon King is not good, because the Bull Demon King eats people, but he does not eat them; the Bull Demon King is lustful, and he is conservative, so he is considered a different kind of dragon.
The relationship between the Jiao Demon King and the Peng Demon King is even more ordinary. The two of them have never even met in private, because the Dapeng eats dragons. When it can't eat dragons, it can eat dragons, horned dragons, chilongs, and pans.
Dragon and other dragon subgenus naturally include dragons.
As for the other brothers, because he is in Beihai and doesn't often go ashore, he doesn't have many contacts. Only the seventh brother, Sun Wukong... often comes to Beihai with fruits and monkey wine from Huaguo Mountain to play with him.
happy.
There are seven demon kings in total who are brothers. Naturally, there will be some who are close to each other. The Jiao Demon King knows the temper of Lao Qi, but he is the same to the other brothers. But then again...the other brothers, none of them
Treat him like Lao Qi.
When Lao Qi was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he wanted to help him, but after learning the news, Lao Qi was already trapped under the Five Elements Mountain. He wanted to visit the Five Elements Mountain, but the Five Elements Mountain was deep inland, and there were Buddhist soldiers and heavenly generals.
Guard...how dare he go?
A few days ago, I heard that Lao Qi escaped from trouble, worshiped under the disciples of a great virtuous monk, and went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures... He had a drink at Shuifu.
But not long after, he received a message from the Bull Demon King, saying that Lao Qi's master had forcibly saved his son, Hong Hai'er, and invited him to come to Ji Lei Mountain to gather together to deal with Tang Monk and his disciples together to avenge Hong Hai'er.
To be honest, if the Bull Demon King hadn't sent the message that day, the Jiao Demon King wouldn't even know who Red Boy was.
So this time when the Bull Demon King gathered a group of monsters in Jilei Mountain to deal with Sun Wukong, he shied away from it... If it weren't for his complicated identity and dare not go ashore, he would even want to help a bunch of old Seventh Sun Wukong.
In the past few days, when he was still worried about this matter, it happened that Taibai Jinxing suddenly arrived in Beihai today. He thought that Taibaijinxing came to Beihai Dragon Palace to announce the decree, but he never thought that he was always hanging around his water palace.
If he didn't know that Taibaijinxing was for himself, he would have lived many years in vain.
"I don't know if Venus is here, what's the point?" This star king also has a good reputation in the three realms, because he is the best at recruiting people. Many demon kings in the lower realms were invited by him to go to heaven and serve as officials in the court.
Of course, the most famous among them is the Monkey King.
Although the Great Sage made trouble in the Heavenly Palace again and again, no one blamed Taibai Jinxing... It was true that Taibaijinxing invited the person here, but the official title was granted by you, the Jade Emperor. Such a powerful demon god,
You actually only banned one person, Bi Mawen... No wonder he got angry and gave up.
This is the second time I invited someone to heaven. Since I recognized the title of Monkey King, and was awarded the title of Super Grade... why didn't I invite him to the Pan Peach Party? Take a step back and say that he ate the flat peach secretly.
, you, the Jade Emperor, can ask an unruly monkey to look after the peach garden... I really don’t know how you made the decision.
All in all, the blame for the Great Sage causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace lies with the Jade Emperor, and Taibai Jinxing is still the star king with a keen eye for recognizing talents.
For this Xingjun who always took care of his brothers, Demon King Jiao naturally smiled and said in his heart: "Could it be that...this Xingjun is also here to recruit me?"
After all, the Jiao Demon King is not an ordinary demon clan. He was originally part of the Water God's establishment, but due to some reasons, he broke away from the system.
As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face.
Although Taibai Jinxing knew that his reputation in the Three Realms was pretty good, he didn't expect that Demon King Jiao would show up to greet him, which made him feel a little embarrassed... After all, he was assigned by the Jade Emperor to detect his traces.
Then take him back to heaven and make a temple-protecting dragon for the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Palace...
But this would make it difficult for Taibai Jinxing to take action.
However, Taibai Jinxing did not panic. People treated each other with courtesy, and he could not lose his etiquette. Moreover, this Jiao Demon King had a record in heaven. He was not a born monster, and he did not do evil things that harmed living beings. He just
Because of the hatred and hostility towards the Dragon Clan back then.
This is a personal grudge between him and the Dragon Clan, and Heaven will not interfere.
"It turns out that the great sage knows the old way." Taibai Jinxing looked like a harmless little old man with a smile on his face. However, he was a young old man with fair hair and a childish face. He was full of energy. At a glance, people knew that he was an immortal.
The Tao is truly immortal.
"In front of Xingjun, you should not use the word "Great Sage". It is just an unwarranted claim." Although the Jiao Demon King said this, the smile on his face became heavier. He stretched out his hand and said: "The immortal name of Xingjun is famous in the three realms. I would like to pay you a visit this morning.
But I have never been able to meet you... Mr. Xing, if you don't mind it, please come to the Shui Mansion to have a talk, and ask me to show my friendship as a landlord."
"Dare you disobey me?" Taibai Jinxing has always been sincere in his treatment of others. Now that he heard King Jiao Demon's invitation, he readily agreed.
Seeing that Taibai Jinxing could trust himself, the dominant demon king, the Jiao Demon King was slightly moved... After all, in the world of demons, deceit is the main theme. This is why the Jiao Demon King has a special regard for the seventh Sun Wukong.
One of the reasons for waiting.
After all, the Great Sage also adheres to the word "truth" when interacting with people, and this is the weakness of the Jiao Demon King.
Entered the Water Mansion.
After Taibai Jinxing took a brief look at it, he realized that this dragon demon king was indeed extraordinary. It should be noted that the dragon clan likes to hoard treasures, especially bright things.
But it was pitch black in his water palace, almost without light. After he came in, a few spirit shells opened and closed, revealing luminous pearls, illuminating the water palace.
As far as the eye can see, the decoration is quite simple and not at all gorgeous...well, leaving aside the luminous pearls.
Looking at the water demons under his command, they are all in strong condition. Even the heavenly soldiers of the heaven, except for a few elite battalions, rarely see such a scene.
No wonder he was able to gain a foothold in the North Sea and repelled Aomoon's conquests time and time again.
"Please take a seat."
The Great Sage Fu Hai invited Jin Xing to sit down, and then called for wine. He saw two clam demons bringing out two jars of good wine. The two jars of wine were not the same.
Taibai Jinxing sniffed one of the jars and asked curiously: "Is this the monkey wine from Huaguoshan?"
"Xingjun is really an expert." The Jiao Demon King smiled and said, "This wine is exactly what my seventh brother brought when he came here in the past... There were only two jars left. I heard that he escaped from trouble at the foot of Five Elements Mountain a few days ago, so I drank it myself.
One jar, and now the remaining jar...is being used to entertain Xingjun."
"It's full, it's full!" Taibai Jinxing was not reserved, and kept saying: "When I was in Huaguo Mountain, I was lucky enough to taste this wine, and I never forgot it... But later, the Great Sage caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and Huaguo Mountain
The monkeys are dying and scattered... Not to mention that there are no monkeys making wine, but there are still monkeys making wine... The old Taoist has no shame in begging for it."
"Hi-ha!"
“Good wine!”
Your Majesty still takes care of the old minister. I thought it was a hard job, but I didn't expect it to be a good job.
"Xingjun, you have tasted the monkey wine from Huaguo Mountain, why not try my Youlong Zui from Beihai Qianjiao Mansion?"
Taibaijinxing has good wine and a very good drinking capacity.
A jar of Huaguoshan's Monkey's Brew and a jar of Qianjiaofu's Youlongzui are almost gone after being consumed.
After drinking two jars of wine, Taibai Jinxing suddenly stopped talking.
After all, the Jade Emperor's task for him was to capture the Demon King Jiao and ascend to heaven, and serve as the guardian god Jiao in the Lingxiao Palace... But now that such a commotion has occurred, whether it is to invite or capture, it seems inappropriate.
Already.
If you ask him to go to heaven, your majesty will surely take advantage of the opportunity to show off his petty thoughts and say that he drank someone else's wine and took advantage of someone else's short talk...
It would be even more inappropriate to take action against him... He just invited me to drink in front of him, and then he turned against him and refused to recognize him in the blink of an eye?
How could he, Taibai Jinxing, be such a worthless person?
In fact, after Taibai Jinxing had a conversation with Jiao Demon King, he liked him. If he was asked to guard the Lingxiao Palace, it would be a waste of talent. This was the real difficulty of Taibai Jinxing.
He was currently thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds, but it was hard to find one at the moment.
It had to be the Jiao Demon King. When he saw Jin Xing's expression of embarrassment, he thought for a moment and came up with a guess. He asked, "But the Jade Emperor sent Star Lord to go to the sea to look for my traces and wants to send heavenly soldiers to capture me?"
This sentence suddenly made Taibai Jinxing suddenly enlightened.
He smiled and said, "That's absolutely not the case. Your Majesty has no intention of using troops against Qianjiao Mansion."
It was my own misunderstanding... When the Jade Emperor sent him down to earth, he made it clear: He was asking him to detect the traces of the Jiao Demon King and report to heaven immediately.
As for catching the Demon King Jiao to heaven and becoming the temple-protecting god Jiao of the Lingxiao Palace, this was a tacit understanding that he and Your Majesty had developed over the years. Even if His Majesty didn't say anything, I already knew it.
After thinking about this, Jin Xing, who looked slightly drunk, said with a serious look: "But as the demon king, what you did was to bribe the important ministers of heaven, and I drank your wine, and the bribe was true. You and I
What he did was a serious crime against the laws of heaven. However..."
"But what?" King Jiao Demon watched Taibai Jinxing's performance quietly. He could naturally tell that Taibai Jinxing actually had other plans.
"However, the old Taoist's trip to the sea is actually to recruit the great sage to heaven as an official." Taibai Jinxing smiled and said: "In this way, you and I are just colleagues having a drink while chatting. This is an elegant thing...
I wonder if the Great Sage is willing to go to heaven with the old Taoist to meet the Jade Emperor, and the Old Taoist is willing to recommend the Great Sage as the Grand Marshal of the Tianhe Navy in front of the Jade Emperor?"
