Thinking of this, Chen Qing couldn't help but feel sad.

Although his youngest son Chen Guanbao was born to a concubine, he loved this young son very much.

Now, in order not to anger the King of Inspiration, it must be offered.

How can Chen Qing not be heartbroken?

If it is said that the King of Inspiration just wants the people of Chenguanzhuang to worship boys and girls, the key is that it only needs the children of the people of Chenguanzhuang, and they are not their own.

If it is found out that it is not a parent, then you will be furious!

This made those rich and noble families who planned to buy and sell children lose hope and were even more helpless.

You can only offer your own children.

Chen Qing is one of them.

Although he was also in a sad mood, as the head of the family, he could only pat the concubine's shoulder, take her into his arms, and comfort: "Don't cry, we will have another life in the future." ”

"But even if it's reborn, Bao'er won't be able to come back!"

The concubine's cry was louder.

When Chen Qing heard this, he was speechless, and just when he didn't know what to say, the shouts of the servants suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Sir!"

"It's a big deal, sir!!"

Chen Qing's face was shocked, and he quickly turned around and looked out the door.

The servant who was shouting also ran into the door.

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

Chen Qingyi grabbed the servant's shoulder and asked urgently.

The servant put his hands on his knees, gasped twice, and then replied, "The King of Inspiration...... The King of Inspiration has appeared, and he wants all of us in Chenguanzhuang to go to the Temple of the King of Inspiration to see him! ”

"What?!"

Chen Qing and his concubine were shocked when they heard this, "Isn't it time yet, why did the King of Inspiration come?" ”

"I don't know if it's a little one!"

The servant shook his head, "The villager only said to let everyone go!" ”

"When the little one comes back, many people in the village have already rushed over, master, let's hurry over, otherwise if we annoy the King of Inspiration, it will be a bad thing!"

Hearing the words of the servant, what else could Chen Qing do?

He sighed and said to the servant, "Tell the master about this, and let him call a weighing of gold to bring it over." ”

"Hey, let's go for the little ones."

After sending off the servant, Chen Qing looked at the concubine again.

"Yu'er, you tell the maid to bring Xiaobao over." He looked sad, "Although I don't know what the purpose of the Inspiration King is coming this time, our Xiaobao and a scale of gold will definitely not be able to escape this catastrophe." ”

……

Chen Guanzhuang, inspired by the temple of Dawang.

The square was crowded, and the people of Chenguanzhuang, who were dragging their families with their mouths, exchanged their heads and ears, and there was a lot of confusion in their expressions.

Although the King of Inspiration suddenly appeared and summoned everyone to meet him.

But they didn't feel much scared.

There is no family that directly rolls up the pavement and runs away.

In the final analysis, it is still the king of inspiration who is very trustworthy, except for asking Chen Guanzhuang to offer two boys and girls every year, in the matter of protecting Chen Guanzhuang, there is no ambiguity at all.

If it weren't for the fact that it had to be offered to young children every year, the people of Chenguanzhuang would actually respect it in their hearts.

But it's just wishful thinking on the part of the people of Chenguanzhuang.

So I heard that the King of Inspiration himself appeared.

asked them to meet in front of the temple, and the people of Chen Guanzhuang quickly rushed to hear what the king of inspiration had to announce.

The only hope is.

Don't come to tell them that there will be more offerings in the future.

In the temple, the King of Inspiration straightened his clothes and asked the banshee beside him, "Beauty, have you brought those children here?" ”

The banshee bowed her head slightly, "They're all asleep in the back!" ”

"Well, that's good!"

The Inspiration King nodded in satisfaction.

He immediately turned his head and summoned a little demon, "Go outside and ask, have all the people from Chen Guanzhuang arrived?" ”

"Wait a minute, King!"

The little demon hurriedly ran out of the temple and called an old man of the Terran race.

This old man is the villager of Chen Guanzhuang, and he was the abbot who built the Inspiration King Temple, so he was not too scared to see the Inspiration King with a red fish head.

Instead, he saluted respectfully, "What do you command, my lord?" ”

"Old ......"

The King of Inspiration instinctively shouted "old man".

But suddenly remembered that Du Fei had said before that he wanted him to take the initiative to live in harmony and friendship with the people of Chenguanzhuang.

Thinking of this, his lazy expression suddenly closed.

"Uh, hey, hey."

The King of Inspiration hurriedly changed his self-righteous and kind expression.

With a smile, he stretched out his hand to help him, and at the same time said to the old man: "Old man, please get up quickly, come, bring a chair!" ”

"Yes, King!"

The little demon quickly moved over a chair.

The King of Inspiration immediately put the chair in front of the old man with his own hands, "Come, old man, you sit down first!" ”

Seeing this scene, Old Man Chen couldn't help but be a little confused.

Are you dreaming?

This monster actually handed himself a chair with his own hands?

And he'd seen the Inspiration King many times before, which time had he ever seen the Inspiration King look so amiable?

Old man Chen's heart instantly burst out.

Something seems wrong!

This monster can't be trying to engage in some kind of conspiracy, right?

He beat the drum in his heart, but he still stiffened his head, and cautiously asked tentatively: "King, I don't know if you have any orders for you to call the old man over?" ”

"Oops!"

"How can this be the word 'command'?"

The Inspiration King smiled, "I just want to ask the old man, have all the people in the village arrived?" ”

Hiss......

As soon as he heard this, Old Man Chen's heart thumped.

It's broken.

This inspiration king doesn't think that there are too few boys and girls every year, and he is ready to wipe out the people of Chenguanzhuang, right?

He thought for a moment, and finally replied, "There are still two families left to come." ”

"Two households left?"

The King of Inspiration touched his chin, "Forget it, there is no shortage of the two of them, these people in front of the temple are enough!" ”

Old man Chen: (Oao Chuan)

This is really going to wipe out Chen Guanzhuang!!

The King of Inspiration didn't notice Old Man Chen's drastic change in face, but stood up and said to the little demon beside him: "Little ones, when you hear the password of this king, you will help the beauty bring all the things over." ”

"Got it?"

"Understood, King!" xn

The King of Inspiration nodded with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to help Old Man Chen, "Old man, accompany me to meet the people of Chen Guanzhuang!" ”

When Old Man Chen heard this, he suddenly wanted to cry without tears.

He's a sinner again!

actually sent the people of the village into the mouth of the tiger, no, into the mouth of the fish!

Looking at the fierce monsters in the temple, Old Man Chen's heart was like ashes, and he said that the people of Chen Guanzhuang must be unable to escape, so he let the King of Inspiration help and walked towards the outside of the temple.

The two of them just appeared at the temple gate.

Seeing the King of Inspiration and Old Man Chen, the people of Chenguanzhuang, who were a little noisy below, instantly quieted down.

The appearance of the King of Inspiration is basically the same as the statue in the temple.

So they weren't too frightened.

Just a little commotion calmed down.

Pleased with his influence among the people of Chenguanzhuang, the King of Inspiration waved his hand at the people and put on a look that he thought was quite "friendly".

Then he smiled and said: "Hello folks, I am your old neighbor, the inspiration king of Tongtianhe." ”

"Speaking of which, we've been friends for many years."

"But people have always had a misconception about me!"

The King of Inspiration pointed to himself, "The people in the village all say that this king likes to eat boys and girls!" ”

Speaking of this, his expression changed, and he said seriously: "So, this king must say a word for himself today, this is a pure rumor, it is a shameless slander, this king is a vegetarian." ”

"Don't talk about virgins and girls, don't even eat a piece of meat!"

When the people of Chen Guanzhuang heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other with strange faces.

Are all monsters so shameless?

You don't want to eat meat.

So where are the boys and girls that we worship every year in Chenguanzhuang?

The expressions of the people of Chen Guanzhuang naturally did not escape the eyes of the Inspiration King, and he cleared his throat, "This King knows that you must be thinking now, if I don't eat virgins and girls. ”

"What do you want to offer to a pair of boys and girls every year?"

"Alas......"

"King Ben can only say that I have a hard time."

The King of Inspiration let out a long sigh, met the incomprehensible gaze of the people of Chen Guanzhuang, and said, "Actually, this matter is related to a childhood wish that I buried deep in my heart. ”

The Inspiration King is starting to flicker.

The people of Chenguanzhuang don't know what kind of medicine is sold in its gourd.

I could only stand quietly in the audience and listen to the King of Inspiration.

The King of Inspiration immediately looked at him with a look of remembrance, and said leisurely: "The original form of this King is a little goldfish, and before I took shape, I often met a Terran child telling me stories on the shore. ”

"Over time, we became friends."

"She also put me in a basin of water and showed me a lot of interesting things in the world."

"And I, as a friend, also wanted to take her to the bottom of the water and see the colorful underwater world, but she was only a mortal and couldn't breathe in the water, and she didn't have this opportunity until she died of old age."

"Later, I attained enlightenment and became a human being."

"I thought of building a fun paradise underwater, so that mortals on land could see the diversity of the underwater world."

"But what kind of underwater park is interesting?"

"I don't know."

"But I think the things that kids like must be interesting!"

Speaking of this, the King of Inspiration stopped talking and looked at the people of Chenguanzhuang, who were already confused and did not know why.

"Therefore!"

"That's why I want you to make offerings to boys and girls every year."

"In order for them to give advice to this king!"

The Inspiration King is a clever fish.

Although he asked the people of Chenguanzhuang to offer boys and girls every year in order to lure Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice, and also protected those children well, after Heifeng Mountain and his party, it realized one thing.

That is, the stereotype of the human race about youkai is very powerful.

Even if they return these children to the people of Chenguanzhuang, they may not think of themselves as good monsters.

After all, there is a saying in the Terrans:

"Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!"

Naturally, it was impossible for him to tell this group of mortals the truth arranged by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he either kept his mouth shut, or he had to make up a reason for the matter of the boy and girl.

Du Fei said that he would help it build an underwater paradise in the Tongtian River, which gave the inspiration king a little inspiration.

used the excuse of the staff underwater paradise to prevaricate the people of Chen Guanzhuang.

Although this excuse also sounds ridiculous.

But as soon as the underwater paradise is built.

The excuse used to deceive the people of Chen Guanzhuang has become true!

After all, the underwater paradise has indeed been built, and as for whether the children gave advice and provided them with ideas, no one will really pursue them, but they will only think that the monster of the Inspiration King can deal with it!

It is said that it is to build an underwater paradise, which is true.

It's not for deception.

Sure enough, after hearing the words of the Inspiration King, some people who had been suppressed for a long time because of the loss of their parents and children couldn't help but ask:

"Do you have to pay for people if you give advice?"

"New children every year?"

"That's it, how many years have it been, boys and girls have been worshiped every year, but I've never heard of any underwater paradise!"

In front of the King of Inspiration, he questioned so sharply.

These people obviously don't want to live anymore.

And they do.

Many families who have lost their children have been immersed in the pain of losing their children and cannot extricate themselves, and now the monsters who have eaten their children are still talking nonsense in a high-sounding manner, how can they not be angry?

Seeing this, the other people hurried to pull these people.

These people don't want to live, but they don't want to die!

Annoyed by the King of Inspiration, it called for wind and rain to rain on Chenguanzhuang, but no one could afford it!

However, the King of Inspiration was not angry at all.

Instead, he smiled and said: "Yes, it makes sense, this king called everyone over this time, in order to solve these things, and your questions are also answered by this king." ”

The attitude of the Inspiration King made the people of Chenguanzhuang a little surprised, when did this monster king's temper be so good?

Even Old Man Chen had a strange face.

Could it be that I misunderstood the inspiration king before?

Seeing that the people of Chen Guanzhuang were looking at him suspiciously, the Inspiration King smiled, and then explained:

"First, new boys and girls are asked every year to listen to the suggestions and preferences of children of different periods, and second, the underwater paradise is now formalized, and there is no need for everyone to worship new boys and girls for the king."

"Third!"

Looking at the people of Chen Guanzhuang who looked shocked, the King of Inspiration raised a third finger.

"The children used to be fine."

"This king is here to send them back today!"

Speaking of this, the King of Inspiration clapped his hands in the temple, and soon, the glamorous banshee and a group of little demons led out with a dozen boys and girls.

The King of Inspiration was assigned by Guanyin Bodhisattva to Tongtian River for six years.

So, there were only twelve children in total.

Now the oldest is only ten years old.

In addition, the King of Inspiration has long prepared a way out for himself, so each of these children is white and fat, and they don't look like they are suffering at all, and they don't look sad at all.

On the contrary, they were all very excited and looked elated.

"Dogs!"

Seeing the child, there was a sudden shout of surprise from the crowd.

Immediately after, the other people who had offered for their children also found their children and rushed forward excitedly.

"Daddy, mother!"

The children who had not been away from home for a long time were also pleasantly surprised.

The Inspiration King waved his hand and motioned for his men not to stand in the way.

Looking at the people who hugged each other, crying and laughing, the King of Inspiration was extremely proud, and finally saved his reputation.

Thinking of this, it looked back at the people of Chenguanzhuang below.

"How?"

"King Ben didn't lie to you, did he?"

Although they were extremely shocked and shocked by the results in front of them, the people of Chen Guanzhuang quickly came back to their senses.

Especially Chen Qing's family, after confirming that the King of Inspiration did not eat the boys and girls that he had worshiped in previous years, and would not ask Chen Guanzhuang to worship boys and girls in the future, they immediately cried with joy.

Directly pulled the family to bow down to the King of Inspiration and said:

"Thank you, Inspiration!!"
