Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 309 Willing to be a foster father

Facing Xiao Chen's question.

"My dear, let's see what magic weapon you need first."

He Sanniang shook her head slightly and refused.

She has natural abilities such as the Horse-Falling Poison Stake and first-rate martial arts, so she doesn't rely too much on magic weapons.

Xiao Chen's gaze immediately turned to Hu Li Daxian, meaning:

"Hu Li, you continue."

"Brother Jinjiao, in addition to the Ice and Fire Gourd magic weapon, I have another wonderful method."

Hu Li Daxian's words revealed an excitement that was difficult to conceal. He continued to elaborate on his thoughts. He cleared his throat and continued:

"If this is the best magic weapon, then just use this pair of Yin-Yang gourds to refine the magic weapon."

"We can use the Seven Treasures and Eight Diagrams and collect the twenty-four qi as auxiliary materials, and use the yin and yang qi of the Yin-Yang Gourd as the main materials to refine a treasure of yin and yang qi."

"In this way, I can combine the Yin and Yang Qi into one, and combine the Yin and Yang Gourd into one, thereby refining an unprecedented Yin and Yang Gourd!"

"Its power will be unimaginable!"

The Great Immortal Huli emphasized again, his eyes filled with infinite longing for this magic weapon.

He seemed to have seen the power of that magic weapon!
"This Yin Yang Gourd is extremely powerful!"

"Anything of the five elements, once put into this magic weapon, can be transformed into yin and yang energy. That is why it is called the 'Yin and Yang Gourd'."

Hu Li Daxian explained the characteristics and functions of this magic weapon in detail, and continued:
“No matter who you capture, you only need to put him into this Yin-Yang Qi gourd, and then gently shake the gourd to activate the Yin-Yang Qi inside, and the Yin-Yang Qi will directly launch a fierce attack.”

Hu Li Daxian said with his hands dancing, his eyes flashing with deep awe for this magic weapon:

"Yin energy will transform into various poisonous things, such as poisonous snakes, poisonous centipedes, poisonous spiders, poisonous toads, and poisonous scorpions..."

When Huli Daxian said this, he realized that he had spoken out of turn.

He glanced at He Sanniang cautiously and stopped talking.

Seeing that Xiao Chen and He Sanniang didn't care too much, Hu Li Daxian bit his tongue, calmed himself down, and then continued:

"These poisonous creatures will madly bite and sting the enemies caught in the gourd, making them suffer excruciating pain and making them defenseless."

“And this Yang energy will turn into blazing flames and earth-shaking thunder, constantly burning, constantly striking, burning everything, destroying everything.”

Hu Li Daxian's tone became more and more excited:
"Under the strong attack of the yin and yang energies."

"In a short while, the person inside the Yin-Yang Qi Gourd will turn into a ball of liquid, without even a bone left."

When Huli Daxian said this, his eyes flashed with irrepressible excitement, as if he had already seen the invincible and indestructible power of the Yin-Yang Gourd on the battlefield.

"The attack power of this Yin-Yang Gourd is so strong that even an immortal with a bronze head and iron arms at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal would be hard to escape once he enters the gourd."

The words of Hu Li Daxian were full of confidence and pride in this magic weapon, and he said with a smile:
"Brother Jinjiao, with this Yin-Yang Gourd, you can kill anyone you want!"

"You can refine whatever you want!"

"As long as we catch him, there is no one who cannot be killed or refined!"

"The Yin-Yang Gourd."

"This... the function of the Yin-Yang Gourd... once you enter the gourd... it will turn into a ball of liquid in a matter of seconds."

However, as the Great Immortal Huli was praising the power of the Yin-Yang Gourd, Xiao Chen felt more and more familiar as he listened.

When the Great Immortal Huli mentioned the name "Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd" again, and its terrifying function of "turning into a ball of water in an instant".

Xiao Chen suddenly realized:

"What is this 'Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd'? Isn't it exactly the same as the 'Yin Yang Two Qi Bottle' of that stupid golden-winged Peng Eagle?"

But after Xiao Chen thought about it again, he understood.

The two magic weapons, the Yin-Yang Two Qi Gourd and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, are similar.

In fact, it is reasonable.

After all, the Golden-Winged Roc's "Yin Yang Qi Bottle" was originally a magic weapon made by him using his own "innate Yin Yang Qi", and it has the same effect as the "Yin Yang Qi Gourd".

It’s just that the golden-winged Roc’s innate yin and yang energies come from his mother, Yuan Feng, the leader of the birds in the ancient world.

Yuan Feng is the first phoenix in the world. As the leader of all flying birds in the world, she is comparable to the ancient dragon. Her roots are even better than the first gourd vine in the world.

The phoenix obtained the innate yin and yang energies, as well as the innate energy of the five elements, and then gave birth to the peacock and the peng.

later.

The Phoenix left the innate five elements energy to its eldest son, the peacock, and left the innate yin and yang energy to its youngest son, the Dapeng.

The innate five elements energy was refined by the Peacock King into the 'Five-Colored Divine Light' which is within the five elements and can sweep away and break anything. It is very powerful.

These innate yin and yang energies were refined into a "Yin and Yang Energy Bottle" by the golden-winged Roc.

Although the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle is often criticized and was destroyed by the Golden Winged Dapeng, it is actually quite powerful. After all, it is a bottle that can directly kill Sun Wukong, and its lethality is very strong.

You know, Sun Wukong has an indestructible body and seventy-two transformations, which allow him to avoid damage from the three disasters and he has a very strong ability to withstand attacks.

Whether it is the human bag, the golden knife, the diamond cutter, the banana fan... they can only control Sun Wukong, and no magic weapon can kill Sun Wukong.

The purple gold bell was said by Guanyin Bodhisattva to be very powerful: "Not to mention one Wukong, even if there are ten of them, they dare not get close to it!"

But when Sun Wukong was hurt by the Purple Gold Bell, his actual reaction was just: "The Monkey King felt sand and dust flying into his nose, which made him itchy and he sneezed twice."

But the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle can do it.

In comparison, the innate yin and yang energies in the hands of the golden-winged Roc are actually much stronger than the acquired yin and yang energies nurtured by the innate gourd vine.

After all, the innate yin and yang energies in the hands of the Golden-Winged Roc are the innate condensation of heaven and earth.

The yin and yang energies in the belly of the Yin-Yang Gourd Spirit are condensed from the innate gourd vine.

Acquired things cannot be compared with innate things.

"If that's the case, even though this 'Yin Yang Qi Gourd' is quite powerful, an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal will die immediately if he enters it."

"But in terms of power, the 'Yin Yang Two Qi Gourd' may not be as powerful as the 'Yin Yang Two Qi Bottle' of the Golden Winged Dapeng Eagle."

When Xiao Chen thought of this, he suddenly felt a little useless and frowned slightly.

The power of this Yin-Yang Gourd is actually quite powerful, it can kill a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

However, he already had a more powerful Yin-Yang Qi Bottle on him, which was a magic weapon refined from the innate Yin-Yang Qi and was more powerful.

It's of no use if he has another Yin-Yang Gourd.

The Yin-Yang Two Qi Gourd and the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, the two magic weapons have duplicate functions.

In fact, this Yin-Yang Two Qi Gourd is much inferior to the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle. To him, it is really useless.

Xiao Chen glanced at the Yin Gourd Spirit and the Yang Gourd Spirit, hesitated for a moment, and was considering how to deal with the pair of gourd spirits.

"King of the Golden Horn..."

Just when Xiao Chen was hesitating and felt that the plan to refine the Yin-Yang Gourd was useless, the Yin Gourd Spirit keenly captured this subtle moment.

There are many ways to save your brother, and fighting is just one of them.

And at the moment, it seems that fighting is unwinnable, so it is really not advisable.
This kind of upright method was not commonly used by her feminine personality.

Another way is to save your brother in a roundabout way, that is, to use the power of the Golden Horn King to save your brother.

The prerequisite for all this, of course, is to survive first, and then proceed step by step.

The Yin Gourd Spirit knew very well that if he did not take action at this time, he would probably miss the opportunity.

She didn't say anything, just waiting for an opportunity.

It is not good to speak too early.

She had to let the Golden Horned King make his own judgment while she waited for the right opportunity to act.

The time is now!
The Yin Gourd Spirit quickly straightened her purple-black dress, and a look of determination flashed in her eyes:
"As long as the gourd is here, there will be no shortage of firewood." Then, without hesitation, she slapped her brother Yang Gourd Spirit to the ground.

The Yin Gourd Spirit acted swiftly and decisively, not giving the Yang Gourd Spirit any chance to react.

"Sister, why did you hit me?"

The Yang Gourd Spirit was caught off guard and fell to the ground. He stumbled and lay on the ground with a pair of dull round eyes and a look of confusion and bewilderment.

However, before he could react.

The Yang Gourd Spirit was then pinned firmly to the ground by his sister, the Yin Gourd Spirit.

Between siblings, the older sister often has a natural restraint over the younger brother, which is innate.

It's easy for the elder sister to beat her younger brother.

This is vividly reflected in the Yin Gourd Spirit and the Yang Gourd Spirit.

Immediately afterwards, the Yin Gourd Spirit made an even more shocking move.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Followed by three crisp clicks.

After the Yin Gourd Spirit held down his brother, he turned around and knelt down towards Xiao Chen, kowtowed three times, and said respectfully:
"If King Jinjiao doesn't abandon us, we will be two demons, brother and sister."

"I wish to worship you as my godfather!"

"From now on, I will follow you, my father!"

"I am willing to go through fire and water for you, my foster father, without hesitation!"

"Adoptive father?"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this. These two gourd spirits want to worship me as their godfather?
Xiao Chen and He Sanniang looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

What was an adopted son in ancient times? Basically, he was cannon fodder.

Little money, much work, and multiple fathers.

No inheritance rights yet.

Moreover, in ancient times, the status of a foster father was like that of a biological father, and he could order his adopted son at will.

Generally speaking, once a person has a foster father, he cannot betray him casually.

Otherwise, he would be like Lu Bu, who was cursed by others and called a traitor. Not only did he lose his integrity, but his fate would be miserable...

Most ancient emperors had adopted sons, who were usually cannon fodder used by the emperors to conquer the world.

With the status of both father and son, one generally does not have to worry about the adopted son's betrayal and can use him with peace of mind.

For example, Ji Chang's one hundred sons...

For example, Liu Bei and Liu Feng, Zhu Yuanzhang and his many adopted sons...

Of course, in the demon world of Journey to the West, there are actually many demons who have adoptive fathers and adoptive sons.

For example, the golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon asked Li Jing, the King of the Pagoda, to be his godfather.

The seven spider spirits in the Pansi Cave adopted seven adopted sons, namely the bee, the hornet, the wasp, the blister beetle, the gadfly, the grasshopper and the dragonfly.

In the original plot, King Golden Horn and King Silver Horn worshipped the nine-tailed fox spirit of Yalong Cave as their godmother, and also had a cheap uncle, King Fox Seven.

…too many to count.

Even the Bull Demon King joined the lineage of the Demon Saint Chitie.

To a certain extent, Bull Demon King can now be considered the adopted son of Demon Saint Chitie.

"Yoshiko?"

Xiao Chen's gaze moved back and forth between the Yin Gourd Spirit and the Yang Gourd Spirit, weighing this sudden proposal in his mind.

My most direct idea, of course, is to refine these two gourds, then copy them and strengthen myself.

But at the moment, it seems that neither the "Ice and Fire Gourd Magic Weapon" nor the "Yin and Yang Qi Gourd" magic weapon are of much use to him, the Golden Horn King, and are indeed a bit useless.

If I recruit him as my subordinate...

To be honest, these two gourd spirits actually have very good qualifications. They are also first-rate plant spirits in the Three Realms, and each has its own abilities.

With their potential, if they are trained a little, they will grow up quickly and can be of great use.

Moreover, there was neither hatred nor resentment between him and the two gourds.

Even if there was no King of Golden Horn, these two gourds would have been caught and killed by others, becoming other people's prey, and the final outcome would have been death.

The most important thing is that these gourds are still small and don’t seem to have high IQs. It is not difficult to fool and brainwash them and make them loyal to him, the King of the Golden Horn.

But, the King of Golden Horn does not keep idle people.

"Sister, we are the gourd spirits of Mount Buzhou!"

"How can you be inferior to others and become someone else's adopted son?"

The gourd spirit glared with its eyes wide open, pouted its lips, and shouted stubbornly.

Upon hearing this, the Yin Gourd Spirit was speechless and thought to himself:

"This brother is considered useless."

"I can't carry it, I really can't carry it!"

The Yin Gourd Spirit knew very well that his brother's stubbornness and hard-headedness were part of their clan's nature, but now was not the time for them to be willful.

They are facing an unprecedented crisis, and joining the Golden Horn King and becoming his adopted son is the only way out for the siblings, and also the only hope to rescue their imprisoned brother.

then.

Without hesitation, she slapped her brother Yang Gourd Spirit down again, pinned him to the ground, held his head, kowtowed three times, and began to pray:

"We are willing to swear an oath to the heavens that we will be loyal to you, our foster father, and have no second thoughts. Otherwise, your souls will be torn apart and we will never be able to reincarnate..."

Xiao Chen did not respond immediately after hearing this.

Xiao Chen just looked at the two gourd spirits with interest, as if he was evaluating their value and potential.

There is no mercy in the demon world. In the demon world, strength is respected and value is king.

A goblin without strength and value has no right to survive.

When the Yin Gourd Spirit saw this, her heart tightened.

The Yin Gourd Spirit knelt on the ground and spoke again:

"Godfather, give us siblings some time."

"Give us four hundred years..."

"No, three hundred years."

"It only takes three hundred years for us, the Hulu siblings, to reach the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

"It will definitely help you a lot!"

"For you, godfather, to command!"

The Yin Gourd Spirit spoke again, trying hard to prove and show the value of her siblings.

She knew that the current strength of the gourd siblings was not enough to catch the eye of the Golden Horn King, and their future strength was their only bargaining chip.

After all, in the demon world, there is no mercy, only the exchange of values.

They must use their strength and potential to exchange for the right to survive and hope for the future.

And the possibility of saving his brother in the future.
