318, the three demon saints
Long Zhenjun's reputation spread.
Mrs. Ye was also deliberately probing and had a general understanding of the situation in Xiniu Hezhou.
Today's Xiniu Hezhou, although it is not as prosperous and magnificent as during the Journey to the West, there are still dozens of demon saints, each entrenched in one side, compared to other states, it is still much more chaotic and dangerous.
Among them, there are three demon saints that Long Zhenjun fears and pays attention to the most.
First, the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage!
Second, the Great Sage of Pingtian!
Third, the nine-headed demon saint!
These three demon saints, in Long Zhenjun's opinion, should not still be active in Xiniu Hezhou in this "post-westward journey" period.
But the fact is that although they are not as active as during the Journey to the West, they are still entrenched in one side, and all demons are respected!
The first one, the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage, this is the strongest demon saint in the original Journey to the West, and its body is a nine-headed lion, which instantly won the three Journey to the West brothers including Sun Wukong!
But in the end, he was invited by Sun Monkey to his master, Taiyi rescued the suffering Tianzun, and returned to the fairy world.
Now that a thousand years have passed, he is still called the king and saint in Xiniu Hezhou, which has to make Long Zhenjun think more.
There are two theories in myths and legends about the identity of Taiyi Tianzun, one is that he is one of the twelve golden immortals sitting down by Yuan Shi Tianzun, and the other is that he is called the doppelganger of Yuan Shi Tianzun!
Of these two statements, in fact, Long Zhenjun is even more biased towards the second one.
That is, the nine lions, which are the mounts of the Yuan Shi Tianzun!
Because according to the description of the original Journey to the West, if Kankan is just a golden immortal, it is impossible for the nine lions to be so convinced.
Even as soon as his master came, he was so strong that he took down Sun Wukong's demon saint with such a strong move, and he didn't resist at all, so he knelt down, turned into his original form, and surrendered directly!
But if it is said that Taiyi Saving Suffering Tianzun is the mount of Yuan Shi Tianzun, one of the Three Qings, then it makes sense!
But why is it clear that the nine-headed Yuan Sage has been subdued, but now he is still active in Xiniu Hezhou?
According to Long Zhenjun's several confronts and speculations, a very bold argument was drawn.
That is the early Sun Monkey who called himself the Monkey King, and the seven brothers who formed a righteous alliance with him, either leveled the sky, or covered the sea, or drove the gods, and later directly rebelled against the heavenly court, wanting to be the Jade Emperor himself, and repeating the grand occasion of the ancient Eastern Emperor Taiyi period, when the demon clan established itself in the heavenly court and ruled the earth!
That's why Heavenly Court came to the back to descend so many demon immortals to divide the strength of the demon clan in Xiniu Hezhou!
Among them, the most famous representatives are Kui Wood Wolf, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng, Green Ox Essence, and Jade Rabbit Essence...... Wait a minute!
Jiuling Yuansheng, Qingniu Jing, etc. are those powerful mounts, so let's not talk about it, maybe people are really just, they don't want to be supernatural, and they are still mounts, so they escaped from the fairy world and fell into the grass as the king.
But Kui Wood Wolf, that is, the yellow-robed monster in Journey to the West, this is one of the twenty-eight stars of Heavenly Court, and he has the rank of Immortal Class!
Golden Horn and Silver Horn, as the Taishang Laojun, that is, the fire boy of the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, how could it be that he had been in the lower realm for so long, and he had stolen several spiritual treasures, including the belt of the Taishang Laojun, and was still ignored by the Taishang Laojun?
It is likely that it is what Long Zhenjun guessed, all of this is just a means of Heavenly Court and splitting the demon clan!
Didn't you see that after that, Xiniu Hezhou, which was originally majestic and could almost fight against Heavenly Court, gradually split its vitality and lived up to its previous strength?
Now that the Journey to the West five-member group has obtained the true scriptures, thousands of years have passed, and the limelight is gradually slowing down, so the nine lions, under the acquiescence of Yuan Shi Tianzun, came down to earth to perform certain things for him?
After all, after the battle of the saints of the god list, Taishang Laojun was also under the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, and was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor of Haotian!
It can be said that in this era, there is a world where saints do not come out!
Even if Yuan Shi Tianzun wants to do something in the world, I'm afraid he needs to do it in the hands of others, right?
In this way, it makes sense, why did Kui Jupiter Jun, who was an immortal, go down to earth, and why after the Nine Spirits Yuan Sage was subdued, as soon as the limelight passed, he came down and became the king of holiness.
The second one, the Great Sage Bull Demon King of Pingtian!
This one, also during the Journey to the West, was targeted by the heavenly court and the Buddhist world, and finally became alone, fighting Nezha father and son, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Four Values Gong Cao, the four great King Kongs of Buddhism, and the five directions to reveal the truth, plus the rest of the gods, was barely taken down, and was forcibly named the Lingshan Mountain Protector Divine Beast by Buddhism!
Being able to be the eldest brother of the Seven Demon Saints, and being respected by the Demon Saints as the Lord of Xiniu Hezhou, the ability of this Pingtian Great Sage is not strong!
Even Buddhism wants to covet his abilities, use stratagems, and even take his own son Red Boy as a hostage, and also want to subdue the mount of this Tongtian Sect Master!
After the battle of the gods, the saints did not come out, and the Buddhas of the Western Heavens were the biggest force!
It is precisely because the saint does not come out that Buddhism can subdue such a demon saint who has a background and has mana.
But people are also the mounts of the Tongtian Sect Master, and they are not weaker than the ordinary Buddhas of the West Heaven at all, and they are even more crushing those Arhats and Bodhisattvas, so it is impossible to always imprison people in the West Heaven Spirit Mountain, right?
In that case, it can only be called "suppression", not what Buddhism wants, so that the Bull Demon King is willing to become a Buddhist mountain protector.
Therefore, the Bull Demon King, although he was nominally subdued by Buddhism and was subject to the trend of the Buddha, but for a lot of time, he still lived in his hometown, Moyun Cave in Xiniu Hezhou!
Buddhism is not afraid that he will regenerate his rebellious heart, because the red boy is a hostage, but they took him to death!
Therefore, it makes sense that the Bull Demon King is not in Lingshan, but still in Xiniuhezhou.
And you have gone to the western heavens for a while, and for the sake of your wife and children, you are willing to give in, and you keep saying that you are willing to take refuge in my Buddha.
Even if Buddhism is not secretly giving you any instructions now, after this battle, the trust of the demon saints from all walks of life in Xiniu Hezhou is probably long gone.
It can be said that Buddhism allows the Bull Demon King to continue to be holy in Xiniu Hezhou, which is the biggest differentiation of this demon world!
There is no great supernatural demon clan, and they will fully trust this Buddhist mountain protection beast!
But the majesty of the Great Sage of Pingtian in the past is still there, and it is impossible to ridicule him!
And the last one, the Nine-Headed Demon Saint.
Originally, Long Zhenjun thought that the so-called Nine-Headed Demon Saint was another honorific title of the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint by the demons.
But later I found out that the Nine-Headed Demon Saint, the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, these are the two big demons!
I heard that he was during the Journey to the West, and he began to make a name for himself in Xiniu Hezhou, showing his magical powers, and calling himself a demon saint.
And it also has the support of the Bull Demon King!
After thinking left and right for a while, it was not difficult for Long Zhenjun to guess the identity of this demon saint.
That is the nine-headed insect that was already friendly with the Bull Demon King, the horse in the Journey to the West, the chaotic stone mountain and the blue wave pool, dared to steal the Buddha's relics, dared to steal the queen mother's nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass, and was at large!
He is also the only tough monkey and his rescuer in the original Journey to the West, who was not killed or subdued!
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Erlang God, and Meishan The six brothers jointly besieged the nine-headed worm, but they only fought him back and forth, and finally beat him away, but he couldn't be subdued!
You can imagine his combat power!
And the commander of the six-thousand-mile demon domain south of the Dongyan Mountains is a thousand-legged immortal, I heard that it is this big demon who sent the gold-plated demon general to the Dongyan Mountains.
In other words, if Long Zhenjun really wanted to dominate the Dongyan Mountains in the south six thousand miles that already had a lord, he was destined to offend this nine-headed demon saint.
