The Monkey King

Looking south to the mountains in the southwest of Buzhou.

Under the hazy sky, a group of monsters wearing uniform armor gathered in a military formation on a hillside. Each of them looked like they had experienced hundreds of battles.

Behind them, the big flag with the word "花" fluttered in the wind.

On the top of the mountain in the middle, Lu Liuguai was kneeling on a bright red carpet wearing the original black court dress of Huaguoshan. There was a low table in front of him and a simple tea set on the table.

His adopted son and daughter stood aside motionless.

For many years, almost every great demon king in all the branches of Huaguo Mountain has claimed to be loyal to the Monkey King, the Monkey King, but they really insist on using the military flag and designation of Huaguo Mountain, claiming their official positions in the Huaguo Mountain era, and even Lu Liuguai was the only one who required every new monster to swear allegiance to the monkey statue. Although they are actually the weakest branch among the many branches of Huaguo Mountain, they are also the one most severely suppressed by Heaven.

For a long time, the water on the charcoal stove on the side boiled again and again, but Lu Liuguai had no intention of making tea. He just looked at the north silently and waited silently.

About an hour later, several figures slowly appeared on the horizon, and the leader was none other than the Bull Demon King.

Compared with hundreds of years ago, his body looked even larger. He was wearing a black cloak and a pair of huge horns on his head, which looked as powerful as a specially made helmet.

Lu Liuguai couldn't help but was slightly startled when he noticed that the Bull Demon King was wearing an obviously ill-fitting, old, but thick black armor. The brow suddenly frowned.

He recognized this armor. It was the unified armor issued by Huaguoshan to senior generals. Since the Bull Demon King's body is much larger than that of ordinary monsters, this armor was specially made by craftsmen under his instructions.

A group of ten monsters landed steadily at the foot of the hillside.

The other people carrying the wooden boxes in their hands stayed behind, and the Bull Demon King only brought one person wearing a red armor. The boy holding the red tassel gun climbed up the hillside and came to Lu Liuguai step by step.

Glancing lightly at Lu Liuguai's adopted son and daughter, the Niu Mo Dynasty cupped his hands in front of Lu Liuguai and said with a slow smile: "General, please see Prime Minister Lu."

"Hey." Lu Liuguai understood something immediately and couldn't help but laugh. He waved his hand towards Ying'er and said, "Serve the Demon King tea."

Ying'er on the side nodded. He immediately knelt down in front of the low table and slowly started making tea. Lu Liuguai sat aside and watched with a smile.

The adopted son of the snake spirit had slowly folded his hands behind him with a cold expression.

The Bull Demon King looked at Ying'er's hand making tea, at the snake spirit behind Lu Liuguai, and then at the smiling Lu Liuguai. The original smile was still on his face, but sweat had begun to form on his forehead. .

The boy standing behind him slowly clenched his hands and took a step forward. But it was blocked by the Bull Demon King's big hand.

Looking up, the boy saw the Bull Demon King quietly shaking his head at him, and then he took a step back unhappily.

When Ying'er's tea was brewed, two cups were filled, and his hands were pushed to both sides of the low table, Lu Liuguai pretended to wake up and said quickly: "I forgot to invite the Demon King to sit down. Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry. As I get older, it is inevitable that I will be a little confused. Hahahahaha. Come on, Demon King, please sit down."

The corner of the Bull Demon King's mouth twitched slightly, he blinked and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, in terms of rank, the general is much lower than Prime Minister Lu. In front of Prime Minister Lu, it is appropriate to stand all the time."

Hearing this, the boy behind him immediately snorted and turned his head to the side.

This hum immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Liuguai looked at the boy, stroking his long beard and said, "This is..."

"This is the only son of the general. His nickname is Honghai'er. He is more than three hundred years old. He was born from the heart and has never shed his childlike nature."

"Oh?" Lu Liuguai nodded and said, "It turns out to be the rumored Holy Infant King. This is my first time seeing him."

The Bull Demon King cupped his hands and said, "It's the general's fault that I never brought him to see the Prime Minister."

"No problem." Lu Liuguai waved his hand and said, "Demon King, please sit down."

Hearing this, the Bull Demon King nodded, took a step forward, and sat on the opposite side of the low table.

Compared with the short Lu Liuguai, that huge body was like an elephant compared to a wild cat. It's just that the wild cat raised its head and chest, looking aloof, while the elephant was bent down.

Looking at the old armor on the Bull Demon King, Lu Liuguai took a deep breath and sighed leisurely: "What does the Demon King think about that matter?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The Bull Demon King waved his hands quickly and said, "Old Niu just took the opportunity to find an excuse to see the Prime Minister and ask for his regards. He had no other intentions. Those guys who caused trouble for the Prime Minister, yesterday, Lao Niu The cow has been killed for the Prime Minister, and the head is put in a box. The Prime Minister can send someone to check it immediately."

As he said that, the Bull Demon King pointed at a few monsters carrying boxes at the foot of the mountain.

"Oh?" Lu Liuguai couldn't help but laugh. He turned his face to the snake spirit behind him and waved his hand: "Check it."

"No." The snake spirit immediately trotted down the hillside and came back a short time later. He cupped his hands and said, "Father, the child has been checked and it is confirmed."

Lu Liuguai sighed lightly and said, "Demon King, do you know that the Great Sage has returned?"

Hearing this, the Bull Demon King immediately showed a look of horror, stood up, widened his eyes and asked, "Has the Great Sage returned?"

Lu Liuguai quietly glanced at the red boy behind the Bull Demon King.

At this time, compared to the fear of the Bull Demon King after hearing about the monkey's return, Red Boy's expression was indifferent, as if he already knew about it.

Seeing this, Lu Liuguai couldn't help but stare at the Bull Demon King and smiled slowly.

This smile immediately made the Bull Demon King extremely embarrassed, but he had to continue to pretend to be frightened and whispered: "Where is the Great Sage now? I would like to ask the Prime Minister to take the general to see him."

When he said this, beads of sweat were already covering the Bull Demon King's forehead.

Lu Liuguai lowered his head and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said: "The Great Sage is back, and I have just come from the Great Sage. However, the Great Sage does not want to be disturbed by other people for the time being. It is time to see you." When the time comes, I will naturally let you see me.”

"That's right, that's right. How can the Great Sage be seen by the general whenever he wants? It's the general who has gone beyond that." The Bull Demon King nodded repeatedly and asked casually: "When we were with the Prime Minister, did the Great Sage ever Mention the final general?"

"mentioned."

Upon saying this, the Bull Demon King immediately widened his eyes, stretched his neck, and lowered his voice nervously: "The Great Sage...what did you say?"

"The Great Sage said..."

The Bull Demon King swallowed dryly.

"The Great Sage said..."

The red boy on the side also quietly glanced sideways.

Looking up at the Bull Demon King expressionlessly, Lu Liuguai supported the low table and said slowly: "The Great Sage said... let you take care of yourself."

"Okay... take care of yourself." The Bull Demon King was suddenly confused.

…

About an hour later, the Bull Demon King slowly flew towards the north with a group of monsters.

The box he had brought with him and the head contained in the box were all returned.

Red Boy slowly came to the side of the Bull Demon King and said indignantly: "This Lu Liuguai is really a villain, and he pretends to be powerful. He actually dares to show off to your father. In the beginning, we should have taken advantage of the monkey's return. They didn’t come back, so I killed them all.”

"Shut up." The Bull Demon King stared forward and whispered: "Don't say these words again. If you let others listen to you, even your father will not be able to protect you. When you mention it in the future, you must be called the Great Sage. Master, there is also the Prime Minister."

"Father!" Hong Hai'er screamed immediately and said, "Lu Liuguai is so arrogant, can you just swallow this?"

"Aren't you usually arrogant towards your subordinates?" the Bull Demon King asked coldly.

"This...can this be the same? The child's cultivation level is a hundred times higher than that of the little demons, so what if he is arrogant? Who is he, Lu Liuguai? He has only been a few hundred years old, and he is already extremely old. Don't Speaking of Lu Liuguai, I heard from my fifth uncle that even the Generalissimo Short Mouth back then was no match for your father. The most capable people should be in this position, so why should they sit at your head? superior?"

The Bull Demon King immediately shouted: "Just because the Great Sage's cultivation level is a thousand times higher than that of you and me, is this a sufficient reason?"

Red Boy was immediately speechless.

Taking a deep breath, the Bull Demon King pursed his lips and whispered: "Whoever he said should be in power will be in power, and no one can stop it. And...many things at the beginning were not as simple as you thought. If you say this in the future, Don’t mention it again, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth.”

"Does he still dare to kill us? He has just returned and wants to fight against Heaven and Buddhism. Doesn't he need our troops?"

Hearing this, the Bull Demon King immediately laughed and whispered: "Did you know that you originally had a second uncle, the Jiao Demon King?"

Hong Hai'er couldn't help but be stunned.

"You don't understand the Great Sage." The Bull Demon King said slowly: "The situation at the beginning was even worse than it is now. He has not yet broken through the cultivation of heaven and has not yet become the true king of demons. The Huaguo Mountain is even more damaged due to the war. He was burned to ruins. But he dared to kill his second brother, who had an old grudge against him, in front of the five of us."

After a slight pause, the Bull Demon King continued: "Besides, you have never seen a real war between heavenly cultivators. We are simply dispensable. He can destroy the entire heaven by himself. If he were Those who cannot be defeated, like the Tathagata of the West, even if there are ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or tens of millions more of you, it will not help. The Battle of Heaven and the Battle of Huaguoshan, in the final analysis, was just a battle fought by him alone. It’s just a war between Heaven and Buddhism.”

Glancing at the astonished Red Boy, the Bull Demon King whispered: "Today is different from the past. Please be more careful when speaking from now on. If the Great Sage really wants to kill people, he will not care whether you are Who is it? During the Battle of Huaguoshan, the five of us retreated first, and after the war we didn’t listen to Lu Liuguai’s orders. Now we’re afraid that he will settle old scores.” (To be continued~^~)
