Chapter 5: The Demon King's Mount

"Help?" Li Xiaochen was a little curious, what could he do to help him with a cloth cloth?

Mayor Jiang sighed heavily: "I won't tell you, I cheekily asked Melzak to invite you over this time, just to ask you to help our family Qinqin." ”

Pulling Li Xiaochen out of the bathroom, on the way back to the private room, Mayor Jiang, who was walking slowly, said again: "You also know that my baby daughter had the idea of suicide a while ago. Fortunately, you took action and saved Qinqin's life. Alas, it's all because I'm usually too busy to teach my daughter well. Now that my daughter is older, she can't listen to what we parents say. So I'd like to ask you to take care of her in our place. ”

"Me?" Li Xiaochen pointed to himself and smiled, "I can't even manage myself." Where is the right to discipline others?"

Mayor Jiang said: "Since Qin Qin was rescued by you, she has been pestering me to find out her people. She didn't think about tea and dinner all day, which made me and Qinqin and her mother very upset. I had no choice but to go to Melzak. It was through his intelligence network that I found you. ”

As he spoke, he stopped and looked at Li Xiaochen sincerely: "I believe that she will definitely listen to what you say." Isn't it okay to help me teach Qin Qin more?"

"This ......"

"I know that you and Melzak are both so-called immortal cultivators. I don't dare to ask you to teach her to cultivate immortals, I just ask you to teach her with traditional culture. This is not a plea from a mayor, but a plea from a father who feels guilty about his daughter. ”

Listening to Mayor Jiang's sincerity, Li Xiaochen was reminded of his childhood memories of his father.

Father's love is different from mother's love, it is deep, and more often it is a silent love.

Many fathers will always bury the love of their children in the bottom of their hearts and silently pay for them.

Zhu Ziqing's "Back" is an accurate interpretation of father's love.

Thinking of the little bit of fatherly love he had received, Li Xiaochen was stunned in his heart, and felt very envious of the love that Jiang's father gave to his daughter.

How nice would it be if I had a father who loved me so much?

If this request is not granted, it will be too unkind.

"Thanks to Mayor Jiang, if I can guide Ling Ai, I am willing to serve. ”

Mayor Jiang took out a pack of hard-shell Huaye cigarettes from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to Li Xiaochen: "I don't know how to repay you with anything." I'll give you a pack of cigarettes to say thank you. ”

Li Xiaochen said a few polite words, did not shirk, and put away the cigarettes.

He personally never smoked. But this is given by the leader, and he can't refuse it in person, which has swept away the face of others.

Back in the private room, Li Xiaochen endured Jiang Qinqin's various initiatives and finished this sumptuous dinner.

After a full meal, Melzak said goodbye to Mayor Jiang's father and daughter, and took Li Xiaochen back to school.

"I'll take you to see something. After getting out of the car, Melzak walked to the administration building.

Li Xiaochen followed him into the dean's room.

After locking the door, Melzak pressed the code on the digital panel at the bottom of the desk drawer.

With a bang, a secret door in the wall of the dean's room opened automatically.

Without saying a word, Melzak walked in first.

After following him in, Li Xiaochen found that there was only a turning staircase leading to the underground.

After walking for a long, long time, Li Xiaochen saw a stone door as thick as a giant at the end of the stairs.

There are many deep incantations engraved on the stone door. There are also many high and deep sigils pasted on the side of the door.

Melzak pressed his palms against the stone door. He recited a few incantations.

A soft golden light bloomed from his hand and spread all over the stone door.

But listening to the rumbling sound, the stone door opened.

Li Xiaochen followed Melzak in to take a look, and was startled. Behind this gate is a large "prison".

There are many hideous-looking and vicious monsters inside.

When they smell someone approaching, they roar and roar, trying to break free from their cage and come out and eat them.

"These are all monsters captured alive by the Xianlun Sect. Don't go near them if it's okay. Melzak gave a faint warning and walked deeper into the prison.

Li Xiaochen couldn't help frowning when he saw that they looked strange and terrifying, and followed closely behind Melzak, for fear that he would be left behind.

This kind of ghost place, he doesn't want to stay for a moment.

Melzak turned a few corners and walked down a straight, wide, but not very bright avenue.

The cage that imprisoned the yokai is gone.

Until the end of the road, Li Xiaochen suddenly saw a huge prison cell.

A thick Donkey Kong pillar that at least five people could hold together rose from the ground and plunged straight into the zenith, lined up like guards, guarding the monsters in the cell.

When Melzak stopped, two bloody bright red rays shot out of the dark cell.

Li Xiaochen looked up through the gap in the King Kong fence and couldn't help but gasp.

A pair of murderous Yin Hong's giant eyes were staring at him in the dark. That evil aura made Li Xiaochen's hairs stand on end.

"Melzak, you bastard......" The monster in the cell sputtered and revealed.

Li Xiaochen fixed his eyes and was shocked again.

This monster must be at least the size of a ten-story building!

At first glance, it looks like an oversized dog. It has short black fur all over its body. The sharp claws showed a murderous aura, as if they would kill the two people outside the cell at any time.

Melzak caught a glimpse of Li Xiaochen's timidity, so he said, "Don't be afraid. This is the mount of the Six Brahma Demon King Bo Shun - the Heavenly Demon Mastiff. Originally, it was sealed here by the Immortal Wheel Patriarch of this sect. Most of the power has been curtailed. ”

"What, the six Brahma waves?" Li Xiaochen hadn't reacted from his surprise yet, "Isn't that the Great Demon King who tried to destroy the Dharma before?"

Melzak nodded, affirming his statement.

Speaking of Bo Xun, the demon king who lives in the Six Brahma Heavens, there are two stories that are best known.

One is: When Prince Siddhartha (Shakyamuni Buddha, who later manifested himself as a Buddha and enlightened sentient beings), he sent three witches to tempt the prince.

The three witches are called: Trissina (Lust), Rorty (Lust), and Roga (Greed)1.

They dressed themselves up as sensual and seductive, and came to Prince Siddhartha, who had not yet become a Buddha, and flattered him with great courtesy, in an attempt to sabotage his practice.

But the prince was resolute in his heart, and he turned a blind eye to the various seductive teasing of the three witches, and was completely unmoved.

The three witches made all the provocative gestures, but they still couldn't shake the prince's Buddha heart that was like coming out of the mud.

These three witches, who were sent by Bo Shun for fear of the prince's enlightenment and Buddhahood, not only did not succeed in seducing, but were reprimanded by Siddhartha.

He said that although they were good-looking, they had bad intentions, like a beautiful glass bottle full of filthy dung, and they had no appearance. I am not ashamed, and I still want to deceive people?

Then the Buddha Buddha revealed the true evil state of the witches with his magical powers - a pair of white bone skeletons, wrapped in flesh and skin, and entangled in veins. Pusular saliva, nausea.

The witch had a twist of thought and fled.

Seeing that the temptation of the three witches failed, the demon king Bo Xun personally brought all the demons to Prince Siddhartha, threatening him to return to the palace to enjoy his happiness and not to practice again, otherwise he would be crushed to pieces immediately.

Prince Siddhartha ignored Bo Shun and continued to concentrate on his practice.

The demon king Bo Xun ordered all the demon swords and arrows to shoot at the prince.

Siddhartha's body was pure, and none of the demonic swords and arrows could get close to his body.

When the gods saw the situation in the world, they came down to help Prince Siddhartha and exorcise the demon king.

The second story is that the demon king Bo Shun later saw that Shakyamuni Buddha had saved many people, and he was unhappy, so he asked the Buddha to attain Nirvana.

Shakyamuni Buddha realized that his fate with the sentient beings in the world of sampa had arrived, so he agreed to this request.

After the Buddha promised to pass away, Bo Shun said to him, "When you reach nirvana, I will destroy your Dharma." ”

The Buddha said, "The Dharma is the Dharma, and no force can destroy it." ”

The Demon King said, "When the Dharma enters the end of the Dharma period, I will ask my demon son and demon grandson to infiltrate your temple, put on your robe, and destroy your Dharma." They have misinterpreted your scriptures and broken your precepts in order to achieve what I cannot achieve today by force. ”

Shakyamuni Buddha listened to these words and was silent for a long time. Ended up in tears.

Whether it is a dynasty or Buddhism, there are ups and downs.

This is the cycle of heavenly dao, cause and effect are inevitable, and no one can stop it.

The Buddha had compassion on the sentient beings in the future and knew that in the future many people would be plagued by the descendants of the demon kings and would not be able to hear the true Dharma, so he shed tears.

Seeing the tears of the Buddha Shakya, the demon king Bo Xun proudly led the crowd to laugh wildly.

Although Li Xiaochen knows very little about Buddhist scriptures, he has heard these two stories.

He stared blankly at the behemoth in front of him, and muttered to himself: Is this the mount of the Demon King Bo Xun?

NOTE 1: The names of the Three Witches are more often translated as Trisina, Rorty, and Raga. In order to make their names look more feminine, the author changed them to Trisina, Roti and Loga.

While it's just a trivial matter that doesn't matter to most readers, for me, it's something that must be treated with care. It is hereby declared so as not to mislead you.
