I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 45 Three Immortals of Tiger, Deer and Sheep

"who are you?"

"What's the purpose of looking for us?"

...

When they heard that Zhang Yuan had revealed their origins, these monsters in Taoist robes suddenly turned pale with fright, their faces filled with anxiety.

Some monsters even picked up magic weapons and tried to stop Zhang Yuan, but even so, Zhang Yuan did not detect murderous intent from these monsters.

Seeing the angry crowd of monsters, an elderly Taoist priest extended his hand to signal and looked at Zhang Yuan with a solemn expression:

"I am a poor Taoist, I wonder why you are looking for us?"

"Are you going to stand up for those monks?"

At the beginning, the masters of these monster Taoist priests, the Three Great Immortals of Tiger, Deer and Sheep, were in charge of the Chechi Kingdom. Many of their disciples also recited Taoist scriptures day and night, were kind to others, and often performed good deeds.

As for Tang Monk and his entourage, they arrived and forcibly stood up for those monks. Sun Wukong then fought with the three masters and finally killed the three immortals.

With the help of Tang Monk, the monks regained control of Chechi Kingdom. These disciples who belonged to the three great immortals became prodigal dogs and were hunted down along the way.

There were nearly a hundred fellow disciples at the beginning, but now there are only thirty or forty left.

Looking at these people who were completely different from ordinary monsters, Zhang Yuan was very satisfied.

Regardless of their origins or character, these monsters are impeccable.

You must know that their master practices Taoism and the art of rain clouds, which goes directly to heaven and is approved by the Jade Emperor.

Zhang Yuan suspected that Chechi's troubles were caused by Buddhism using the help of Sun Wukong to remove the Three Pure Spirit Temple in Chechi.

He raised his hand and threw out a few talismans to seal the inside and outside, and after setting up a formation, Zhang Yuan looked at the vigilant eyes of these monsters and said with a smile: "I am looking for you, just to give you a way to survive."

"Live?"

Upon hearing this, many Taoist priests showed doubts, doubts, curiosity, fear, anger and other expressions on their faces.

Chang Xiu, as the smartest among the brothers, heard Zhang Yuan's words, his heart moved, and he said quickly:

"We are in quite a lot of trouble. How can you save us?"

This long-term cultivation is only at the fourth level, but his vision is sharp and his thinking is quick. He has always been the capable disciple of the Three Immortals.

After the three immortals were killed and many of the highly skilled brothers in Sanqing Temple were killed, he was the leader of this group of remnants.

Feeling the aura on Zhang Yuan's body, Chang Xiu suddenly said:

"May I ask what force you represent?"

Zhang Yuan looked at this man with approval and said with a smile: "I don't represent anyone, I represent myself."

"I will save your life, you surrender to me and do things for me!"

Although the big ship of Shituoling is good, it will capsize sooner or later.

Whether it is Sun Wukong, the two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Samantabhadra, or even the Tathagata, they are all sharp swords hanging over Shituoling, and they will be cut down sooner or later.

Zhang Yuan clearly remembers that according to the setting of "Journey to the West", although the green-haired lion monster and the yellow-tusked old elephant were saved by Bodhisattva, the remaining hundreds of thousands of monsters on the Lion Camel Ridge were killed by Brother Sun Wukong. Kill them all.

By then, all the green-haired lion monsters will be under control, who can protect me?

Therefore, Zhang Yuan must make plans early to gather forces and increase his own strength. Moreover, since you want to rebuild the Demon Court, these outstanding demon talents must be recruited under your command.

"Your conditions are indeed very good, but if I hadn't noticed the mistake, you would have only been in the fourth level, right?"

Since the last battle with the remnants of Wan Shezhou, Zhang Yuan no longer uses the way of heaven to hide his strength.

If someone doubts it, he can use the excuse that his understanding will greatly increase after he has enlightenment.

"If you want us to surrender to you, you must at least show us the strength to convince us, right?"

After such a long period of running away and traveling thousands of miles, Chang Xiu was already tired, and he didn't want any more brothers to die.

In his perception, although Zhang Yuan's body was bloody, his luck was very strong.

Sanqingguan has a unique technique of looking at Qi. Although he cannot see through Zhang Yuan, he can vaguely sense that Zhang Yuan is indeed extraordinary.

At least he has seen so many people along the way, no one can compare with Zhang Yuan.

What made Chang Xiu even more afraid to admit was that he vaguely sensed in Zhang Yuan a good fortune that was not inferior to that of Tang Seng and his disciples!
  This is Tang Monk!
  Carrying the destiny of traveling westward!

Zhang Yuan didn't know what Chang Xiu was thinking. If he knew it, he would be extremely shocked.

It should be noted that he himself is covered by heaven. Even if he leaks some information about himself now, ordinary demon kings cannot detect it.

And this human race, who is only at the fourth level, can actually detect something by relying on his own inheritance.

The disciples of the three great immortals of Sanqing Temple, Tiger, Deer and Sheep, have quite a long history!
  "I have a way for you to avoid the pursuit of those chasing you."

After a pause, Zhang Yuan said again: "Of course, you can also send one of you with the strongest cultivation to try your hand at me. If you can beat me, I will turn around and leave without saying a word, and I will also give you two gifts as a gift." A magic weapon."

"If you lose, you must surrender to me."

"There is no limit to the cultivation level of the people you send, I will accept them all!"

For a time, many monsters focused on Chang Xiu.

Humans are the spirit of all things and are born smart, but all beasts are born stupid. Even old beasts that have lived for decades will not be as smart as a young human child if they have not embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

And when they embark on the path of cultivation, their wisdom will gradually increase. When they reach a high level of cultivation, they will be no different from human monks.

Of course, based on the cultivation level of these monsters in the cave, their wisdom is not so enlightened. Coupled with the teachings of the three immortals and the day and night interactions with Chang Xiu, they subconsciously and unconditionally trust their fellow human beings.

Chang Xiu did not tell anyone about the strangeness in Zhang Yuan's body. After pondering for a moment, he realized that he had no way out.

The pursuit of Chechiguo Buddhist Temple and the coveting of the inheritance of Sanqing Temple by others all made Changxiu feel like walking on thin ice.

In that case, take the gamble!
  After making up his mind, Chang Xiu looked up at Zhang Yuan and said in a deep voice:
  "If we lose, I can surrender to you, but we cannot be allowed to do things that are harmful to nature and violate our own principles!"

These dozens of monsters are all pure-blooded people who strictly abide by Taoist precepts. For them, abiding by their own precepts and remembering their master's inheritance is even more important than surviving!
  "Don't worry, I am willing to accept you, and it is precisely because you abide by the precepts that I will naturally not force you to do things that violate my principles."

Seeing Zhang Yuan's agreement, Chang Xiu nodded, and then turned to look at the brothers behind him.

These monster Taoist priests, seeing Chang Xiu's appearance, seemed to understand something. They did not object, but instead rushed to shout, hoping to fight on their own.

Chang Xiu, who was fighting against Zhang Yuan, had already made a choice. He looked past the many brothers and looked at the little boy in the back who was eating.

"Senior Brother Changjun, please come out to fight!"
