Chapter 16: The Ancient Demon Court
"Brothers are still brothers, the Great Sage is not the Great Sage. The Great Sage muttered softly, then smiled, "What do you mean, big brother?"
"Brother Xian, the brotherhood between you and me is still there, you are my brother of Lao Niu. I know that a few of my brothers have planted a heel in you, and my old cow has also touched a nose here. But fortunately, the third prince saw your face and put me back in the Flaming Mountain. The other brothers, they are the first to be unkind, and the eldest brother doesn't blame you. The Bull Demon King patted the Great Sage on the shoulder and said.
"Now that the Buddha has achieved positive results, he is already a member of the Buddha Gate, and the Heavenly Court has recognized your position as a great sage, and you can now be regarded as a guest of the Buddha Gate and the Heavenly Court!
The Great Sage straightened the robe on his body and said with a smile, "Listening to the meaning of the eldest brother, is he mocking my grandson?"
The Bull Demon King shook his head and said seriously, "Big brother has no intention of mocking, now that the virtuous brother is in a high position in Heavenly Court and Buddhism, it is a blessing for my demon clan, at least Heavenly Court and Buddhism still want to have a plot against my demon clan, after all, you have to consider the forces on your side." ”
"Big brother, the younger brother has a word that is not clear, and I hope that the eldest brother will teach me. The Great Sage arched his hand.
"On the way to learn the scriptures back then, all the demons were all immortals and Buddhas in the sky to sit on mounts, so what about the major demons of my demon clan? are all some small demons, are all the demons of my demon clan dead?"
"Brother Xian doesn't know, back then, when you were suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, Heavenly Court sent a large army to clean up my demon clan. Except for us top demons, the rest of the demons either surrendered or were captured, and then locked up in Chonghua Palace by the Heavenly Court!" said the Bull Demon King helplessly.
"I think that at the beginning, in ancient times, the predecessors of my demon clan called for wind and rain, and all of the three realms were subjugated to the prestige of my demon court. But later, the three giants, Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Qilin, were discordant, causing the Ancient Demon Court to fall apart. Later, in the dispute over the interception of religion and teaching, Jiang Ziya's old thief was ordered to try his best to promote the canonization of gods, and since then, my demon clan has completely declined. ”
The Great Sage slapped the table and said angrily, "The Jade Emperor Lao'er deceived him even more, and it was just a matter of deceiving my old grandson, and he actually targeted my entire demon clan!
"Don't be angry, virtuous brother. The Bull Demon King hurriedly stood up and persuaded, "You are now in Heavenly Court, don't ruin your righteous result because of a momentary mood!"
Big brother didn't come here today to let you seek revenge, Heavenly Court Chonghua Palace is a heavy land, as far as I know, the gate of Chonghua Palace has a Sanqing Town spell specially set by Taishang Laojun, virtuous brother, you must not act rashly!"
"But the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court is too deceitful! Mingli has named me the Monkey King, and I can enter and leave the Heavenly Court freely, and secretly stabbed the knife in my demon clan and imprisoned the people of my demon clan, what is the reason!" the Great Sage said angrily.
"Alas. The Bull Demon King sighed and said, "It's the eldest brother's fault, you shouldn't have tempted the virtuous brother like this!"
"Temptation, what does the eldest brother mean by this?" the Great Sage was stunned for a moment.
The Bull Demon King pulled the Great Sage and sat him down. Then he said helplessly, "It's the eldest brother's fault, the eldest brother wants to use the matter of the demon clan to test whether the virtuous brother is still interested in the demon clan." After all, you are not what you used to be, not only the Monkey King of the demon clan, but also the Monkey King who is admired by the demons, but also the Buddha who defeated the Buddha, the eldest brother made this decision, and I hope that the virtuous brother will not be blamed!"
"Hey, hey. The great sage smiled, "Big brother is too worried, my grandson is now a Buddha, but my grandson will not succumb to the seat." After all, I am a demon clan, in the orthodox eyes of Heaven and Buddhism, I am still from a wild road, so why bother to work hard for them. But big brother, you just mentioned the Demon Court, tell me about it. ”
"Hahaha, since the virtuous brother is interested in this, the eldest brother will tell you about it. These things were also learned by my old cow in a scroll left by the predecessors of the demon clan, and the eldest brother will tell you about this ancient demon court!"
Demon Court, this is the most glorious era of the demon clan!
It is said that before the heaven and the earth were clear, the heaven and the earth were chaotic, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was the sky or the earth. Later generations called this era the Age of Chaos.
The era of chaos gave birth to Pangu, and after Pangu was born, he used the heavenly axe to split this chaotic world. Dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, and it is the heaven and the earth. Yin and yang began to be distinct, and the aura accumulated during the chaotic period burst out because of the clear distinction between the universe and the kun. After Pangu opened the world, he was afraid that this universe would close again, and Pangu was in it, nine changes a day, God was in the sky, and the earth was sacred. The sky is one zhang high, the earth is one zhang thick, and Pangu is one zhang long, so eight thousand years old. Sustain the heavens and the earth.
Later generations have written that "the king of Pangu, the head of the dragon and the body of the snake, shh After death, the bone joints are mountains and forests, the body is rivers and seas, the blood is Huai, and the hair is grass and trees. ”
After Pangu's death, heaven and earth began to enter the Hongmeng era, because the universe has been divided, and the accumulated aura burst out to give birth to all kinds of strange flowers and plants, and even gave birth to a number of ancient Hongmeng demon beasts.
With the development of the Hongmeng era, the demon beasts that were born and raised by the earth have gradually given birth to spiritual wisdom. The heavens and the earth are vast, but there is no one to rule and lead. Some demon beasts of the Hongmeng era with advanced spiritual intelligence began to divide the territory, and the war broke out.
At the end of the war, the most powerful demon beasts reached a reconciliation and formed a common force - the Demon Court!
The Demon Court is commanded by several of the strongest giant demons in the Hongmeng era, including Shilong, Yuanfeng, Qilin, Bai Ze, Jiuying, Jinwu and Demon Ape. The clans agreed that for a period of three years, they would take turns to be the lord of the demon court.
But later, because of disagreement, the three giants of Shilong, Yuanfeng, and Qilin started a war, and the rule of the demon court suddenly collapsed, and the demons of heaven and earth began to fight for themselves.
Later, the vitality of the three clans of Shilong, Yuanfeng, and Qilin was greatly damaged, and they were expelled to the land of recklessness by the other giant demons. The demons signed a covenant again, and the demon court was once again in the king's landing.
After the Demon Court was broken, the era also entered a new era. Later generations called it the Great Wilderness Era. Because of the war of the demon clan for the common lord of the world, the silent development of all the races in the world, the human race began to emerge, and several top leaders of various races appeared, such as Kuafu and Dayi.
At the end of the Great Wilderness Era, the Demon Court Emperor was succeeded by the quasi-saint Emperor Jun of the Jinwu clan. Later, because his tenth son designed to kill Kua's father, Dayi pulled his bow and shot the nine golden crows in a fit of rage. The Demon Court and the Wu Clan went to war, and in the end, the Demon Court and the Wu Clan were greatly damaged, and the Demon Court could no longer maintain its dominance and fell apart.
At this time, the human race began to emerge, and it flourished through the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Heavenly Dao selected Haotian to succeed him, and Heavenly Court first appeared. Later, because the Nether Emperor Xin molested the great god Nuwa, the saints took this opportunity to finally tear their faces and compete for the fortune of the world, and the war of the gods broke out. In the end, the teachings failed.
However, there was civil strife in the heavenly court, Haotian died, and the immortals and dragons in the heavenly court were leaderless, and finally with the support of the Taishang Laojun, the Jade Emperor succeeded to the throne. Opened the Age of the Emperor of Heaven until now.
"In the Hongmeng era, the era of the Great Wilderness, my demon clan commanded the world, the lich fought a war, my demon clan completely declined, and the demon court also fell apart and was replaced by the heavenly court. "The Bull Demon King said.
"Alas, I think that during the heyday of my demon clan, all the clans worshipped, and all the saints surrendered! But in the end, the major monsters of my demon clan fell one after another, and the demon clan has declined to this day, and there is no longer the momentum of the great wilderness of the year!"
"I can't imagine that the demon clan still has such a glorious time, all the clans worship, and all the saints surrender! If my grandson had been in that era, he would have already called the king a saint!" said the great sage proudly.
"But the times are different, now it is the Jade Emperor who has the final say, whether my demon clan can survive in peace depends on the face of the Jade Emperor. The Bull Demon King said helplessly, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.
"Has the eldest brother ever thought about re-establishing the Demon Court?" the Great Sage suddenly said.
The Bull Demon King was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Brother Xian thinks too highly of the eldest brother, it's okay for me to be a big demon in the Nether." Follow the example of my demon clan predecessors and set up a demon court, I really don't have that strength! In ancient times, it was said that all saints are ants, so how can I re-establish the demon court with my cultivation?"
Hearing this, the Great Sage smiled and added wine to the Bull Demon King.
"Now the era is not an ancient era, how many saints are there? How many quasi-saints are there? Big brother don't want to depreciate himself, as far as my old grandson knows, there are some giant demons from the ancient era locked up in the Heavenly Court Chonghua Palace, right?"
The Bull Demon King put down the wine glass he had just raised, lowered his voice, and said, "How did Brother Xian know about this?"
"Hehe, on the way to learn the scriptures, my old grandson once heard Bajie say that he said that the Heavenly Court Chonghua Palace is a heavenly court, and the people imprisoned in it are all some ancient beasts or giant demons. The Great Sage smiled.
"Don't make a noise about this matter, let alone think of the idea of attacking the Heavenly Court Chonghua Palace. The Bull Demon King admonished.
The Great Sage's finger tapped lightly on the tabletop, "My old grandson knows that the Heavenly Court Chonghua Palace is heavily guarded, and there are even more three clear spells set by the old man of Taishang Laojun, I am not like five hundred years ago, and I don't do that kind of uncertain thing." ”
"That's good, that's good. The Bull Demon King nodded, he was really afraid that his virtuous brother would hit the idea of the Chonghua Palace. Let's not talk about whether you can release those ancient trolls, even if they are released, those ancient trolls are all big, how to deal with them?
"Big brother, if you have the opportunity, bring a message to the second brother for my grandson, although he was unrighteous back then, but on the way to learn the scriptures, my grandson's subordinates showed mercy and spared him his life. After all, they are brothers, and my grandson still hopes that the next time he drinks, he can come. The Great Sage drank the glass of wine in his hand and said.
The Bull Demon King nodded and drank the wine in his hand. got up and hugged his fists and said, "The wine is also drunk, and my brother and I have seen it, and the doubts in my heart are also clear to my old cow." The eldest brother left first, so as not to bother the virtuous brother. ”
The Great Sage knew his eldest brother's temper, and he didn't persuade him, so he got up and said, "That little brother will send the eldest brother." ”
"Hahaha, okay, thank you brother for your hospitality today, big brother will come to visit another day!" After speaking, the Bull Demon King waved his hand, "Little ones, we have drunk all the wine today, we should go back." ”
The little demon brought by the Bull Demon King wiped his mouth, hugged his fist to the little monkey next to him to thank him, and then followed the Bull Demon King out of the water curtain cave, and the Great Sage led the monkeys to send each other.
At the foot of Huaguo Mountain, the Bull Demon King hugged his fists again, "Brother Xian, don't send it." Big brother will say another word to you before leaving, whether you are a great sage or a fighting to defeat a Buddha, in fact, it is not as good as your peace and security, don't learn from your fifth brother!"
After saying this, the Bull Demon King laughed a few times, turned around and left with the little demon.
The Great Sage hugged his fists behind him, "Big brother go slowly!"
In Beihai, the Bull Demon King drove the water-clearing golden-eyed beast to a dragon palace, the area of the dragon palace is comparable to the dragon palace of the dragon king, and it is strange that there can be such a large-scale dragon palace in this Beihai.
The Bull Demon King placed the water-repelling golden-eyed beast outside the Dragon Palace, and the shrimp soldiers outside the dragon palace immediately stepped forward to take the water-repelling golden-eyed beast aside. The Bull Demon King waved his hand, "I'll leave after a few words today, and I won't stay for long." You don't have to follow the old rules. ”
The shrimp soldier retreated, opened the gate of the Dragon Palace, and invited the Bull Demon King to enter.
In the Dragon Palace, a man in green clothes was warming wine, watching the Bull Demon King walk in, and said with a smile, "Big brother went to the monkey's Huaguo Mountain today?"
"Yes, I just came out of Huaguo Mountain, and I came to you. ”
"What's the matter, the monkey still recognizes you as a big brother?" said the man in Tsing Yi casually, shaking the wine jug.
"Second brother!" the Bull Demon King roared loudly, "That's my brother, and it's also your brother, we were unrighteous first, why are you still like this now? On the way to learn the scriptures, you want to poison him, but he didn't kill you, why do you still miss brotherhood like this?"
"He didn't kill me, Yang Jian ruined me, isn't that enough?" In this Dragon Palace, it was the Jiao Demon King, one of the Seven Great Sages, who heard the Bull Demon King say this, the Jiao Demon King threw the wine jug, stood up and said.
"I'm not arguing with you today, I'll bring you a message, the seventh brother said, I hope you can go next time you drink!" After speaking, the Bull Demon King turned around and left.
When the Jiao Demon King heard this, he kicked over the table in front of him, and the wine and food were scattered all over the ground.
"Go drink, drink a fart! Lao Tzu didn't recognize him as a bullshit brother, and broke with me for a Buddha bead, Lao Tzu didn't have such a brother!" came the roar of the Jiao Demon King from the Dragon Palace, followed by a crackling sound of smashing things.
After a long time, the Jiao Demon King was tired and sat on the ground. looked at the wine jug not far from him, picked up the wine jug, and looked inside the jug, the wine inside had already run out. Suddenly, a tear fell into the pot, glittering.
