Chapter 424 The Worst Monster in Journey to the West [Please subscribe and vote monthly]
Su Chen originally fought against Maitreya Buddha, but Tathagata appeared and forcibly hit him with a stream of light, almost causing him serious injury.
but.
At the critical moment, Honglian appears, the automatic savior.
Su Chen was still confused, but when he took out the red lotus, everything suddenly became clear.
"I see!"
Su Chen understood, "The red lotus, golden lotus, and black lotus are all connected by the same energy. They were transformed from the thirty-sixth grade world-destroying treasure lotus. The Tathagata used the golden lotus to charge up a blow, causing the red lotus to explode."
Attention, and because they are from the same lineage, Red Lotus can easily block Jinlian’s attack!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "Honglian, you saved me, thank you very much."
Just when he was doubting, he suddenly felt as if a divine power was pouring into his body.
Su Chen was shocked, his eyes suddenly straightened, and he was ecstatic, "What a powerful divine power. This is magic power. Where did you get so much magic power? It can be refined by me!"
In his ecstasy, he wanted to find a place to quickly refine the divine power in his body.
Then he ignored the pointing fingers of so many mortals present and jumped out of the way.
The next moment it disappeared.
Su Chen didn't know that his appearance was discovered by the monster who ruled the mountain nearby.
The boy from the mountain went down to do some shopping and happened to meet Su Chen. He didn't want to cause trouble, but when he saw Su Chen coming and going freely and holding a treasure in his hand, he had a strange idea.
The monster hurried back to report.
Su Chen was still in Jinping Mansion, he just found a secluded place to practice.
After all, this place is within the Kingdom of Tianzhu and is the territory of the Buddhist sect. Su Chen doesn't know if people from the Buddhist sect are ambushing nearby.
I just left, for fear of being discovered, so I just practiced on the spot.
He found an inn, paid the money and rented the entire inn, and then he practiced in seclusion without letting anyone disturb him.
After entering the cultivation state, Su Chen suddenly felt refreshed and refreshed.
Red Lotus absorbed Tathagata's blow, and that blow was not a normal attack, but the holy power of merit!
At that time, Tathagata casually grabbed a ball of Buddhism's accumulated merits into the golden lotus, and then hit Su Chen!
Since it is a mass of merit, it is pure divine power.
Red Lotus itself did not have the ability to convert this power of merit into magic power for Su Chen, but when it was planning to refine this power of merit, it was removed from the Golden List!
The golden list contains infinite mysterious power. It directly regards the power of merit as part of Su Chen's power, transforms it into mana, and delivers it to Su Chen!
Guren was probably confused at this time.
Su Chen also thought it was the divine power transformed from Red Lotus, but after carefully sensing it, he knew what was going on!
Su Chen had no reason to refuse Jin Bang's gift.
This power is given to him as a reward just like the usual lottery. Su Chen can possess it directly, and then just spend time digesting and getting familiar with it!
Buzz!
This power is terrifying, containing one hundred thousand years of magical power.
Su Chen himself has 4.8 million years of mana power. Now he has added 100,000 years of mana power, reaching the level of 4.9 million years of mana power!
With such cultivation, although he has not yet reached the minimum standard of the quasi-sage intermediate realm, it is no different from the quasi-sage intermediate realm!
Anyway, ordinary quasi-sages are definitely no match for him.
His magic power is definitely not as powerful as his!
With such a profound Taoist practice, Su Chen has actually been able to compete with the quasi-sage mid-level realm!
Moreover, the competition relies purely on mana, Taoism, and magical powers. If his body as an ancestral witch is also included, it will only be stronger!
Just like when fighting Maitreya Buddha, Su Chen was still no match for Maitreya Buddha. At that time, he used the body of the ancestral shaman to explode ten times the destructive power, and even Maitreya Buddha could only retreat!
This is the terrifying thing about the power of the ancestral witch, which can develop the physical body to the ultimate strength.
Su Chen had nothing to do, just intending to fully control this power.
Three days later.
Su Chen ended his training.
Ordinary people may have to practice for hundreds of thousands of years, and geniuses may have to practice hard for hundreds of thousands of years to obtain a mere hundred thousand years of magical power.
But he had an unexpected encounter, obtained it easily, and was able to master this power in three days.
Today, Su Chen has truly achieved 4.9 million years of magical power!
If you practice this way, you will dominate the world.
Su Chen stood up and said, "With my current level of cultivation, if I were to fight Maitreya Buddha head-on, I would probably be a little weaker."
Su Chen didn't feel proud because of his great increase in strength, and even analyzed his own strength rationally.
If he were to fight Maitreya Buddha head-on, there would still be a gap. Even if he used the power of the ancestral witches and brought out all his magic power and deeds, there would still be a gap.
but.
Not big.
Therefore, he dared to attack Maitreya Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha really couldn't do anything to him.
Of course, Su Chen couldn't do anything to Maitreya Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha easily dodged the last blow of the God-Opening Axe, but Su Chen had no choice.
"If I have enough strength and am promoted to the middle realm of gods and humans, and my cultivation is the same as that of Maitreya Buddha, I will have other means. By then, Maitreya Buddha will not be my opponent!"
Su Chen believed that he could not defeat Maitreya Buddha simply because his cultivation level could not keep up.
He has been practicing for millions of years, and has been recognized by Heaven, and he uses his strength in an honest and fair manner.
Although Su Chen has the strength of the heaven and human realm, and even has the power of the ancestral shaman, his heaven and human realm cannot be exposed.
He has so much magical power that he can't expose it, which makes him timid, so it's no surprise that he can't defeat him!
Su Chen said: "If I am strong enough and fearless, why should I worry about exposing my realm of heaven and human?!"
"I must find a way to improve my strength. Maybe, in this way, I can go further and deal with more unknown risks."
While I was thinking wildly, suddenly the door of the inn was kicked open.
Su Chen took a look and saw a group of people rushing in from outside the inn. The leader was looking at the clothes. They were probably the officers and soldiers of the Jinping Mansion.
Sure enough, this man looked Su Chen up and down and said: "I am the master of Jinping Mansion. Who are you? You seem to be a foreigner. Do you know the rules of coming here?!"
Su Chen said: "I don't know, please let me know."
The master of the palace said: "You have to pay taxes when you enter the countryside. If you haven't paid taxes after entering the city for three days, you must be a spy with unknown origins. You will inevitably be imprisoned. Someone comes and takes him."
Su Chen didn't want to get involved with mortals, so he wanted to leave.
but.
These people actually took out the demon-catching ropes and put them directly on Su Chen's body. Originally, Su Chen could easily avoid it, but when he saw the mortals taking out the immortal things, he was a little curious and did not avoid them.
He was caught on purpose and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
The master of the palace said: "I am the master of the palace, and I have set rules for Jinping Mansion. Everyone who is in my mansion must pay taxes. There is an entry tax when you enter the city, and there is an occupancy tax when you move in. You have to pay taxes when you eat, and when you drink
You have to pay taxes on water, even if you can breathe in this Jinping Mansion, you have to pay taxes!"
Su Chen was stunned. He had seen cruel people, but never such cruel people.
He frowned and said, "Although I don't know much about the Kingdom of Tianzhu, since it is under the rule of Buddhism, there should not be such exorbitant taxes. Whose royal law do you have to impose such exorbitant taxes?"
The master of the palace was angry and said: "You are so outrageous that you put him in jail and you dare to question my decision!"
Someone immediately pushed Su Chen away, but Su Chen followed without struggling and entered the prison.
Along the way, Su Chen saw that the people could not be said to be poor, but they could not be said to be rich either. Every one of them was sallow and skinny, and others were frowning.
When he entered the prison, he thought that many people would not be able to pay such exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and that many people would be imprisoned.
but.
There were a lot of people, but not as many as expected.
However, the incarcerated people all looked very poor indeed, and all of them had dull eyes. When they saw someone coming in, they didn't cry out that they were wronged, they just said that they had no money.
Su Chen was a little angry.
After being pushed into the cell, before he could stand still, a dozen prisoners in the same cell looked at him, all of them with pitiful expressions, shaking their heads, but didn't say much.
The jailer who pushed him in pointed at the other prisoners and said: "If no one in your family comes to pay the money, stop eating and go directly outside the city to throw stones."
The prisoners were all trembling with fear, but they really had no money, so they could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
The jailer ignored him.
He glanced at Su Chen again and said, "What are you looking at? I know you know some small magic, so I won't untie the demon-catching rope on you to prevent you from fooling people with your tricks."
Su Chen didn't expect that a jailer could be so cruel.
The next moment.
A somewhat fat man came, better dressed, he was also a jailer, but just a cell leader.
The other jailers nodded and bowed to him.
The cell leader said: "You're new here, do you understand the rules of entering the prison?"
Su Chen shook his head, "I don't understand."
The cell leader said: "Remember, you will be beaten when you come in. I know you have some magic power, but now that you are here, you are not immune to the evil."
"Don't think that our human sticks can't hurt you, so you don't care. Look at the cell on the left."
Su Chen looked over and saw that there were several tied monsters inside the cell. The monsters had been tortured until they were no longer human!
In addition, there are two little old men lying on the ground. Looking at the forehead of the little old man, there is a land mark, he must be a local land official!
Su Chen was stunned.
Is Jinping Mansion so powerful?
Both immortals and demons can be captured and beaten up?!
The prison head said proudly: "Those two little old men are the land lords nearby. They enjoy the incense of so many people every year, but they can't pay the land tax, so they were kidnapped by the Buddha. But those few little demons did not trade with others.
After paying the tax, they were arrested, and the person who traded with them is already dead!"
He picked up the whip and whipped it over.
Su Chen didn't hide. The whip hit his skin. He didn't feel any pain, but he could estimate it.
This whip is not simple. If ordinary gods and monsters are caught, their magic power is limited, and they are whipped, they will probably suffer the same pain as ordinary people!
It's just that the demon-catching rope has no effect on him, and his physical body is also ridiculously strong, so he doesn't feel anything.
Seeing this, the prison boss yelled, "There is something, but no matter how stubborn you are..."
"I'll give you the money!"
Su Chen said: "After all that, you just want money, I will give it to you."
The prison leader put down the whip he raised and said with a smile: "Yes, you are on your way."
"As usual, those of you who are well-educated will be given 10 taels of silver if you want to be whipped a hundred times a day. Those who are given three months first will be given 900 taels of silver!"
Su Chen said: "Nine hundred taels won't work. Let me give you a round number. I have one thousand taels here, and it's gold."
Then Su Chen took out the God's Axe, but at this time, the God's Ax was made of gold and looked bright and shining.
The prison head's eyes immediately went straight.
The people around him also had shock and greed in their eyes.
The little demon and the earth god next door both cast shocked glances, and then shook their heads helplessly.
They knew these people very well. If Su Chen showed his wealth, they would definitely be greedy and ask for more.
As expected.
The prison boss was overjoyed when he saw this and wanted to take the golden axe.
He also shouted: "Hahaha, okay, okay, you are very sensible. I can make you live more comfortably in prison. If you can come up with more gold, I can also let you eat meat and drink every day."
Serve the wine.”
As he spoke, Su Chen already held the axe, but Su Chen did not let go.
The prison head was a little dissatisfied, "Don't want to give it up? I know you practitioners are arrogant and rich. This little money is nothing to you, give it to me, let go!"
Su Chen let go of his hand, but the Kaitian Divine Ax was too heavy, not to mention a mortal, even an ordinary immortal could not lift it.
As soon as he picked it up, Su Chen applied a little more force, causing the old man to lose his balance and cut himself in half, while the ax fell to the ground.
hiss!
There was a sudden silence in the prison, and the jailers screamed and howled, not trying to capture Su Chen, but to snatch the golden axe.
"Mine, it's mine."
"The cell leader is dead. I am the captain. This is mine. Don't take it from me."
"Get away, it's mine, I touched it first."
Su Chen used a little trick to get the Godly Ax out of the way so that someone could pick it up, and then they started fighting for it.
brush!
As the captain drew his sword and killed a jailer, he immediately shocked the others.
But one of the jailers became so angry that he even drew his knife and stabbed the greedy captain, letting him also receive the lunch box.
The remaining jailers fought each other desperately, but after a while, all the jailers fell down.
There is only one left, holding the ax that opens the sky and is very happy.
Su Chen said: "Do you want more gold?"
The man's eyes were full of greed, "Gold, gold, I want gold, give it to me!"
Su Chen smiled and nodded, then said: "Big!"
Then the God-Opening Ax immediately grew larger in the wind, and at the same time became extremely heavy, crushing the man to death!
As the last person died, the prison became quiet.
Then there were cheers of surprise, and many prisoners cheered excitedly.
but.
What surprised Su Chen was that none of these people thought of getting up and running away, but remained in the cell.
Su Chen picked up the God's Axe, and the demon-catching rope on his body fell off automatically.
He didn't ask any mortals, but went directly to the cell where the earth lord and the monster were imprisoned!
because.
What ordinary people can see is what is in front of them, and these gods and monsters with cultivation must know more inside information.
Otherwise, it would be good to find out that all of them, those with cultivation, are being held here.
Su Chen said: "Who can tell me what happened?!"
"If you can tell me, I will let you go!"
However, the Tudigong and several monsters turned out to be very ordinary. One of the Tudigongs also said: "You'd better run away quickly. Depending on your ability, you might be able to escape. If it's too late, no matter how capable you are, you won't be able to escape."
It’s no use anymore.”
Su Chen said: "Oh? It seems you know a lot of things, tell me."
He waved his hand, and the rope on Tudigong fell off, making Tudigong stunned for a moment.
He relaxed his muscles and bones, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, but I still have to tie him back up later, otherwise it will be even worse."
Su Chen said: "What is going on that makes you gods and monsters so taboo that you don't even want to run away!"
The land is fair: "It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. The little old man is from a small land in Jinping Mansion, this is the city god of Jinping Mansion, and they are the monsters from the nearby Qinglong Mountain."
Su Chen was confused.
It’s okay if the earth god is arrested, but even the city god is arrested?!
He was surprised: "The city god at least has the cultivation level of a true immortal, but he is still so miserable?!"
The city god immediately cried and said: "The Immortal doesn't know something, let alone the real Immortal. Even if the Golden Immortal comes, he can only leave in despair. I'm afraid he will end up with the same fate if it's too late!"
Su Chen also released the city god and said, "Tell me, I think you are all weak, are you being controlled by others?!"
The city god took over the words of the earth god and said: "Actually, we were punished by the Buddha because we could not pay the taxes and still enjoyed the incense. We were beaten to death for a thousand years and then captured and humiliated here. If we have been humiliated enough, the Buddha will be happy.
They will also put us back and let us pay our debts and taxes slowly in the future. If we are not willing, we will be beaten to death and no one will care!"
Su Chen was shocked: "What Buddha? You are the gods of heaven. How dare the Buddhists enslave you like this?!"
The City God cried: "The Immortal doesn't know something. The gods, monsters, mortals, and even ghosts in the Kingdom of Tianzhu are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Emperor and the Ghost King. They are all subject to the Buddha."
"This is the Buddha's land. When we are in the Buddha's land, we must obey the Buddha's orders. Otherwise, we will have no choice but to leave or be killed!"
Su Chen said: "Didn't you appeal to heaven?"
The City God said: "It's impossible. There are also Buddhist spies in heaven. If we are found to complain, we will only end up dead."
Su Chen said: "Then leave."
Cheng Huang said: "It wasn't that outrageous before, so we just tolerated it. But recently it has become more and more outrageous. It is said that it is to create karma for the great cause of Buddhist scriptures, and we can't even leave. If you want to leave, Buddha will catch you.
He was also killed on the spot!"
Su Chen was annoyed, "This is too much. The Buddha you are talking about is the Buddha from Lingshan?!"
The City God shook his head and said: "No, but it is also inextricably linked to a certain big shot in Lingshan."
Su Chen asked: "Who is it?"
City God said: "I don't know who they are specifically. But those Buddhas who control the Jinping Mansion in Tianzhu are in Qinglong Mountain."
Su Chen glanced at the monsters and said, "Aren't they from Qinglong Mountain? Since there is Buddha, how can we let monsters stay on the bed?!"
The City God said: "As long as you pay the money, the monsters can naturally live. But if they can't afford it, they can only be driven down the mountain. Then they have no money in the city to pay the breathing tax, and then they are imprisoned."
Su Chen laughed angrily, this place is so weird?!
However, he also calculated a lot of things. He also knew who the so-called local snakes in Qinglong Mountain and Jinping Mansion were.
But Su Chen was full of doubts.
Based on his understanding of the three monsters, they themselves were miserable and could not possibly do these things.
It is even less likely to affect ordinary people in Jinping Mansion. This will ruin the reputation of Buddhism and be detrimental to Buddhism!
Su Chen looked at the monsters and said, "Which cave in Qinglong Mountain are you from?"
Each of the monsters has his own story.
"I'm from Lipingdong."
"I'm from Baihudong."
"I'm from Xuanyingdong."
Su Chen heard a familiar name, and then looked at the monster who called himself Xuanying Cave.
He released him and said: "Is your king three rhino spirits?!"
The monster was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "The Immortal is really clever and clever. It's true that the three kings of my family are all rhinoceros spirits, with vast magical powers and boundless magic power."
Su Chen said: "It's so powerful that you have to suffer here?"
The monster said: "Well, I, I, my king are no match for Buddha. And we have always done our duty and don't want to cause trouble."
Su Chen said: "How did you get caught?"
The monster couldn't bear to look back, "There was no food for the winter in the cave. Your Majesty asked me to drive some sheep down the mountain to sell the food. When I was trading with farmers, I was discovered by the government. I didn't pay the tax and was arrested. The sheep and food were all gone."
Confiscated!"
Su Chen said: "With your strength, why don't you resist?!"
The monster was startled and said quickly: "I don't dare, I absolutely don't dare. They have a token and can call Buddha at any time. If Buddha comes, I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the cave."
Su Chen frowned, feeling more and more that this Jinping Mansion was a bit extraordinary.
He then said: "Okay, take me to see your king. Don't worry, I'll make sure you're fine. You all go too, I'll let you all go!"
But no one wants to leave.
Su Chen said: "Don't worry, I have some gold here. Everyone knows that I am a practitioner. I brought ten thousand taels of gold with me. Isn't that excessive?!"
Su Chen then casually threw thousands of gold ingots into various cells.
Then he said: "Now that I have paid the money for you, you can go, and you can all get a piece of gold back and live a good life."
Everyone was happy and very excited.
Su Chen blew a breath and all the cell doors opened.
Everyone cheered, thanked him profusely, and ran away.
When they arrived outside, all the guards fell down, and they ran away without restraint.
And Su Chen also sent the City God and the Land God away, including those monsters, because he paid them all.
In fact, Su Chen didn't have to hand over the money, but he knew that if he didn't hand over the money, they would definitely not leave.
What Su Chen left behind was real gold, but he knew that it would definitely cause a bloody storm, because the person who discovered the gold must be greedy.
Greed will lead to death!
outside the city.
The little monster from Xuanying Cave in Qinglong Mountain was still in shock and led Su Chen the way.
Along the way, I kept talking about how good Su Chen was, but when I thought about going back, I was full of worries.
"I lost my sheep, didn't bring back any food, and was imprisoned for several days. Your Majesty and the others will definitely be hungry."
Su Chen was speechless, he was the only one who had mixed up like this with monsters!
Then he comforted him and said, "I brought some food. Please walk a few steps faster."
As he said this, he threw a pig leg to the little monster, who kowtowed with joy.
soon.
They arrived outside Xuanying Cave.
At this time, there was a monster guarding the entrance of the cave. Seeing Su Chen and the little monster coming back, they turned around and ran back in joy.
"My lord, your lord, you are back. Xiaomuzi is back. He must have brought back food for the winter!"
The next moment.
Su Chen and the two came to the entrance of the cave, and a large number of monsters poured out of the cave.
At the head were three majestic rhinoceros spirits, wearing tattered armor and holding weapons with paint peeling off.
Surprise and excitement.
When he came to the entrance of the cave, he directly held Su Chen's hand.
A strong rhinoceros spirit said: "I am King Bichen, the boss of Xuanying Cave. You should be the merchant who followed Xiaomuzi up the mountain to trade, right? Haha, Xiaomuzi can do it. If you hide here and trade, you won't be discovered by the government.
Yes, you don’t have to pay taxes!”
Xiao Muzi lowered his head, at a loss.
Su Chen said: "I'm not here to trade. In fact, your sheep and goods have been confiscated by the government!"
boom!
Up and down Xuanying Cave, all the monsters felt like they were struck by lightning.
The three rhino spirits also had shocked and empty eyes, in disbelief.
Su Chen added: "However, I have brought food and drink to help you."
The three rhinoceros spirits were immediately overjoyed, and King Bichen was so filled with joy and sorrow that he could no longer speak.
He said excitedly: "Really, really? Where is it? I, I, I haven't eaten for three days..."
Su Chen was speechless.
The monster has gotten so far as to be a monster!
He reassured: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry."
