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

Chapter 429: Meeting Wu Qu Xing Jun Again
"My Lord, I dare not presume to speculate on the identity of the young mistress."

"Would you like to come in person?"

"I feel the situation is a bit complicated. I took a closer look, but I'm not entirely sure."

The Great Sage Huang Feng transmitted a message to Xiao Chen through the "Mosquito Brand Wireless Phone".

"Okay, Huang Feng, I'll be right over."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, and then responded.

After that, Xiao Chen thought for a moment, and then secretly transmitted a message to Princess Wansheng through the "Mosquito Brand Wireless Phone":

"Ao Yao, I need to go find Huang Feng first."

"I will discuss the matter of the Thirty-Three Days in detail when I return."

Upon hearing this, Princess Halloween also secretly transmitted her message through the "Mosquito Brand Wireless Phone", with some concern in her words:
"King Jinjiao, do you need me to go with you?"

"One more person means one more force."

Xiao Chen shook his head slightly and said:

"Ao Yao, no need, just wait here peacefully."

The matter of the Hundred Flower Fairy is King Golden Horn's private matter, so he can handle it himself.

After a brief exchange with Princess Halloween.

Xiao Chen stood up and prepared to go to the eighth heaven.

The current identity of the Great Sage Huangfeng is Shi Feixiong, the iron-armored heavenly soldier in the Tiangang and Disha camp.

The status of the Iron-Armored Heavenly Soldiers is lower than that of the Silver-Armored Heavenly Soldiers like him, and they live in the eighth heaven.

Yang Guoshan and Shi Feixiong had never met each other before, but on the battlefield, they fought side by side, so it was not a big problem for them to get to know each other by chance.

Of course, in the heavenly palace, there are countless heavenly soldiers.

No one cares about the friendship between these minions.

……

As the saying goes, "One day in heaven is one year on earth."

This saying is widely circulated in the world, meaning that although a day passes quickly in heaven, a whole year of spring, autumn, winter and summer has already passed in the world.

Xiao Chen also thought so before coming to heaven.

But when Xiao Chen came to the outside of the heaven, he discovered that "one day in heaven is one year on earth" was actually true.

But that's not right either.

To be precise, the thirty-three heavens are stacked layer upon layer, and the speed at which time passes in each layer is different.

It turns out that the pure air in heaven becomes thicker as the altitude increases, and the passage of time also accelerates accordingly.

These thirty-three heavens, if discussed according to the number of layers, can be divided into the bottom heaven, the lower heaven, the middle heaven and the upper heaven.

If we discuss the passage of time, there is the highest sky, the four seasons, the twelve months, and the solar terms.

In the highest heaven, time passes fastest. One day in heaven is equivalent to a whole year on earth.

In the "Supreme Heaven", there are "Twelve Yuanchen Gods" who take turns controlling the "Wheel of the Twelve Zodiac Signs", namely Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake... which take turns in sequence, controlling the cycle of years and months in heaven and earth and the passage of time.

It is for the Year of the Rat, Year of the Ox, Year of the Tiger, Year of the Rabbit, Year of the Dragon, Year of the Snake in the underworld...

This is: "One day in heaven is one year on earth."

The "Four Seasons" is another scene.

The time of four seasons, one day passes, which corresponds to one season in the human world.
The star tracks of the four seasons are scaled according to the celestial constellations. The Big Dipper rotates slowly, and with each revolution, the world ushers in the cycle of the four seasons.

When the handle of the Big Dipper points east, it is spring all over the world with a spring breeze; when the handle of the Big Dipper points south, it is summer all over the world with a scorching sun.

When the handle of the Big Dipper points to the west, the whole world is in autumn and the autumn wind is bleak; when the handle of the Big Dipper points to the north, the whole world is in winter and the land is covered with snow.

The changing weather of the four seasons on earth is all controlled by the movement of the Big Dipper in heaven.

As the saying goes: "A day in heaven is a season on earth."

But in "December Days", the passage of time is different.

In the twelve months of December, one day in heaven is equivalent to one month on earth.

The waxing and waning of the moon's phases are all delicately controlled by the "Lunar Roulette" in the hands of the Moon God.

The "Lunar Wheel" turns gently, the full moon announces the end of a month, and the rising of the new moon heralds the beginning of a new month, and this cycle repeats endlessly.

At the same time, in December, there are also the "Twelve Flower Gods" from heaven who take turns on duty.

In January, the orchid god is elegant and graceful; in February, the plum blossom god is proud and frost-resistant; in March, the peach blossom god is charming and beautiful; in April, the peony god is rich and magnificent; in May, the peony god is beautiful and delicate...

These twelve flower gods take turns in succession in December, bringing different flower scenes to the world every month.

This is: "One day in heaven is one month on earth."

But the “solar term days” are different.

The passage of time during the solar terms is calculated according to the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" in the human world.

The passage of time corresponds to the solar terms in the human world.

One day in heaven is equivalent to one solar term on earth, which lasts about fifteen days.

The 24 solar terms cycle endlessly, all cleverly controlled by the "28 Constellations" in heaven.

It is:

"Xu Wei and Shi Bi are prone to wind and rain. If Kui Xing is encountered, the sky will be clear. Lou Wei and the sky will be cold and windy. Mao Bi and the sky will be warm and bright. Zi Shen and Jing Gui will show the sun. Liu Xing and Zhang Yi will be cloudy and clear. Zhen Jiao and the two stars will have little rain, or there will be wind and clouds along the ridge..."

At the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, day and night are equal; at the summer solstice and winter solstice, yin and yang alternate.

The solar terms contain the mysteries of heaven and earth and the growth of all things.

This is "one day in heaven, one solar term on earth."

Among the 24 solar terms:

"Beginning of Spring and Rain Water" correspond to the constellations of Shi and Bi; "Qingming and Grain Rain" correspond to the constellations of Wei, Mao and Bi; "Beginning of Summer and Grain Full" correspond to the constellations of Zi and Shen; "White Dew and Autumnal Equinox" correspond to the constellations of Jiao and Kang...

……

The sun, moon, and stars in the sky not only decorate the vast sky of heaven, but also represent the year, four seasons, twelve months, and twenty-four solar terms in the human world.

All things in the world grow, multiply, decay, and revive in the rhythm of heaven and earth, in an endless cycle.

It is the law governing the operation of the three realms.

……

"I see……"

Xiao Chen was not surprised to learn about these things in Yang Guoshan's memory.

After all, this is a mythological world. Not to mention the movement of stars and the passage of time, even every drop of rain in the underworld is regulated.

The fate of every mortal in the lower world and how many years each mortal can live are all firmly controlled by the Heavenly Court.

What’s more, time passes in the lower world, while the stars move in the heavenly world?
……

The ancients did not have "weather forecasts". They observed the stars at night and, during wars, they could bring the east wind and call for rain... In fact, it was not that magical.

If you can observe the celestial phenomena and know the stars in the sky, you can actually predict the weather and “call the wind and rain.”

……

The eighth and ninth heavens where the Yellow Wind God, Princess Halloween and his King Golden Horn are located are both in the "Twelve Moons" of heaven.

In December, the passage of one day is roughly equal to one month in the netherworld.

So Xiao Chen was not that anxious.

In the heavenly realm, the speed of ordinary heavenly soldiers is actually not as fast as that of the "celestial horses".

Because there are many big guys in the heaven, the heavenly soldiers cannot fly freely.

Moreover, Pegasus are not ordinary horses, they are the real mounts of gods.

Great gods usually have their own mounts to show their identity and status.

For example, Taiyi Jiuku Xianzun rides a nine-headed lion, Guanyin Bodhisattva rides a golden-haired lion, Manjusri Bodhisattva rides a six-tusked white elephant, Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun rides a black jade unicorn, Dou Mu Yuanjun drives a pig cart, and Jiutian Xuannu rides a black bird...

However, not all gods have such noble mounts.

But Lord Erlang, Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li, the Four Heavenly Kings, Marshal Tianpeng... people of this level don’t have mounts yet.

For ordinary gods and immortals, when they have no mounts, Pegasus becomes their first choice for travel.

Although Pegasus seem a bit ordinary compared to the mounts of the gods, they are indeed very practical.

These celestial horses are full of vigor, neighing in the wind and chasing lightning, stepping on the mist and climbing the clouds with great strength. They are an indispensable means of transportation in the heavens.

This is also the meaning of the existence of "Imperial Stables" and "Bimawen" in heaven.

More importantly, there are some places in the heavens where flying is strictly prohibited, and one cannot ride the clouds and travel through them at will.

If you, a small heavenly soldier, flew over the heads of other star gods on a cloud, wouldn't that be an act of disrespect?
Sometimes, even the Star God cannot fly around.

Above the Star Lord, there is the True Lord, and above the True Lord, there is the Emperor Lord...

Even if the Ziwei Beiji Taihuang Emperor, the Gou Chen Shanggong Tianhuang Emperor, the Queen Mother, the Jade Emperor... these big guys are just below you.

A little star king, how dare you ride on my head?

Therefore, when the gods travel in heaven, sometimes they really have to ride horses and run on the ground to abide by the rules of heaven.

It’s not that gods can’t fly, it’s just that in heaven, you can’t fly around randomly.

In heaven, the hierarchy is strict.

The heavenly soldiers and generals cannot fly around randomly, lest they rebel against their superiors.

Although "gods riding horses" is funny, there is nothing they can do about the strict hierarchy of heaven.

As Yang Guoshan was at the level of "Silver Realm Heavenly Soldier", he didn't even have a dedicated Pegasus.

Only the star gods have their own dedicated celestial horses.

Ordinary celestial soldiers only have "shared bus celestial horses" which are shared by the twenty-eight constellations army camp.

After riding the celestial horses, ordinary heavenly soldiers had to return the horses.

……

Xiao Chen first went to the Twenty-Eight Constellations military camp, and led a red Pegasus over to the stable.

The Pegasus had shiny red fur, a strong body, and eyes that revealed a kind of agility and intelligence. It was obviously a superior Pegasus.

Xiao Chen looked at the Pegasus in front of him and couldn't help but admire it in his heart:
"Monkey, this horse is really well raised..."

In fact, if you count the time, it was only not long ago that Sun Wukong retired from the minor official position of "Bimawen".

This group of celestial horses were probably raised and carefully trained by Sun Wukong himself when he was the Horse Keeper.

Sun Wukong's horse-raising skills are truly superb. He has raised these celestial horses to be plump and strong.

"Bimawen..."

Xiao Chen's mind moved, and suddenly he had an idea:
"Should I become a minor official in the heavenly realm..."

In fact, after becoming a celestial official in heaven, heaven will grant the new celestial official a "pass" valid for about one month.

With this "pass", you can travel freely in most areas of the Thirty-three Heavens.

This "pass" is mainly for the new celestial officials to get familiar with the environment of the celestial realm.

If King Jinjiao could really become an official in heaven, he could visit various places in the thirty-three heavens with a "pass".

However, after changing his mind, Xiao Chen shook his head again:
After all, he is still a silver-armored heavenly soldier, a private. He still has a long way to go if he wants to become a heavenly general.

"drive!"

Xiao Chen was agile and with a light leap he turned over and rode on the majestic Pegasus.

With a pat on the horse's back, the Pegasus immediately neighed like the wind, its four hooves stepped on the mist, and its speed was as fast as lightning and thunder, disappearing in a flash and at an extremely fast speed.

The Toad King rode on the Pegasus at lightning speed all the way, and soon arrived at the junction of the cloud ladder between the ninth and eighth heavens.

As a silver-armored heavenly soldier, Xiao Chen naturally has the privilege of passing through the eighth heaven without any restrictions.

Holding the "identity token" in his hand, he easily passed through the invisible barrier, stepped over the cloud ladder, entered the eighth heaven, and headed towards the military camp of the Big Dipper.

However, on the way to the military camp, Xiao Chen encountered an absurd scene that made him laugh and cry.

"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"

I saw a golden-armored god riding a horse wildly, looking anxious and angry, whipping the celestial horse madly with the whip in his hand, but the celestial horse seemed to have lost control, running around everywhere and being very uncooperative.

"Slow down, slow down! Turn left!"

The golden-armored general shouted loudly, but the Pegasus did not obey at all.

"Shut up!"

The golden-armored general tried again to stop the Pegasus, but it ran even more wildly.

Xiao Chen looked at this scene and muttered to himself:
"This Pegasus seems very reluctant to carry this golden-armored general."

"It seems like he has a grudge against this golden-armored general."

All I heard was a "pop".

The golden-armored general lost his balance and swayed violently, falling off his horse in a panic, like a giant golden-armored turtle, lying on his back.

This scene made Xiao Chen want to laugh, but due to the golden-armored general's identity as a god, he could only force himself to hold it back.

The golden-armored general was furious. He got up from the ground in a panic and whipped the celestial horse with a whip, cursing:

"This damn Bi Ma Wen, this damn Imperial Horse Supervisor, made this horse disobey my orders!"

"I will definitely give him a good report!"

At this time, two clerks from the Imperial Horse Administration came running over and waited on the side. They spoke tremblingly:

"Master Xingjun, this has nothing to do with our current affairs at the Imperial Stables."

"These are all horses raised by the former Horse Warden."

"It's the Monkey King. He took such good care of these horses that they have developed bad tempers!"

"That monkey..."

It would have been fine if Sun Wukong wasn't mentioned, but when Sun Wukong was mentioned, the golden-armored general became even more angry.

Thinking that the monkey had actually become the Monkey King, a higher official than him.

The golden-armored general's expression became even uglier, and he cursed:
"Humph! What Monkey King? He will always be a Horse Keeper!"

The golden-armored general was so angry that he drew the sword from his waist and cut off the head of the celestial horse with one sword.

The headless Pegasus fell to the ground with a loud bang, and blood gushed out, staining the ground red.

The two imperial stable supervisors looked at Tianma with heartache, but dared not say anything.

They knew in their hearts that the golden-armored general was only taking his anger out on the celestial horse, but his real resentment was directed at Sun Wukong, who was no longer in the Imperial Stables.

However, they were just small officials, what could they do?
They could only watch this tragedy happen, their hearts filled with helplessness and sadness.

Xiao Chen laughed secretly when he heard this:
"You blame the toilet for your butt being crooked, and you blame Bimawen for your poor riding skills."

Xiao Chen took another closer look and saw that the general was wearing luxurious golden armor, holding a seven-star sword in his hand, and wearing a glittering purple brocade robe with star patterns embroidered on it. They flickered faintly with his movements, as if the vast starry sky was draped over his body.

This dress looks extremely noble.

However, the golden armor of this divine general was covered with mud, and his purple brocade robe was also splashed with mud and water, losing its original luster.

Looks miserable.

However, when Xiao Chen took a closer look and saw the appearance of the golden-armored general, a murderous intent suddenly surged in his heart.

Without him.

This person is none other than——"Wu Qu Xing Jun!"

This "Wu Qu Xing Jun" was the one who once recommended Sun Wukong, the great demon king, to be the horse keeper and raise horses, and who became enemies with Sun Wukong.

Simultaneously.

This Wu Qu Star Lord is also his old enemy and mortal enemy, King Jin Jiao.

At that time, King Golden Horn was still a small toad. He was captured by Master Xuankong of the Beast Taming Sect to make elixirs. He almost died, but later escaped by luck.

And this Wu Qu Star Lord might be the ancestor of Master Xuan Kong.

The God of Wu Qu was summoned by Master Xuan Kong and descended upon the Xuan Kong Temple with divine power. He wanted to kill the King of Golden Horn and also threatened the King of Golden Armor.

Naturally, King Jinjiao was no pushover. In a rage, he smashed the statue of the God of Wu Qu to pieces.

As a result of this matter, he, King Jinjiao, and Lord Wu Qu, have become enemies for life and death.

However, this Wu Qu Star Lord actually has a high status in the Heavenly Court.

There are five star gods in the Dou department of the Heavenly Palace, namely the North Dipper Star God, the South Dipper Star God, the East Dipper Star God, the West Dipper Star God and the Central Dipper Star God.

The seven stars of the Big Dipper are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.

The seven stars of the Big Dipper are Tan Lang, Ju Men, Lu Cun, Wen Qu, Lian Zhen, Wu Qu and Po Jun.

As one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, Wu Qu is of such a high status that there is no need to say much.

This is also the reason why Wu Qu Star Lord can be so arrogant and domineering in the heaven.

"Martial God..."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

As the saying goes, "If you don't repay a favor, you are not a gentleman; if you don't take revenge, you are not a man!"

The enemy is right in front of him, and it is not his style as the King of Golden Horn to not try to kill him.

However, in the heavenly realm, he is just an insignificant silver-armored celestial soldier, while Wu Qu Star Lord is a star god of respected status.

How could it be easy for a small heavenly soldier like him to kill a star god of a respected status?
However, this cannot be tolerated.

The cause and effect have been established, he must be killed.

This cause and effect has been resolved.

"It's difficult to kill him in the heaven, so let's find a way to bring this Wu Qu Xingjun to the lower world and then kill him..."

Xiao Chen was secretly calculating in his mind, his brows furrowed, and a plan came to mind.

Xiao Chen knew very well that it was almost impossible to attack Wu Qu Star Lord in the heavenly realm.

But if we can get him to the underworld, everything will be easy.

"Get it to the lower world..."

Xiao Chen suddenly thought of a magic weapon.

He, the Golden Horn King, has a treasure called the "Pearl of Bliss", which comes from the Buddha Dingguang Joyful Buddha.

This blissful pearl contains a lot of yin and yang energy. Once you are hit by it, it will be extremely powerful.

Once someone falls into the trap, even a Golden Immortal with profound cultivation will find it difficult to resist the surging desire like the tide, and will surely sink into the sea of ​​desire, unable to extricate themselves.

in those days.

He, King Jinjiao, and Yang Chan had experienced the power of the Bliss Pearl together, and the feeling was still unforgettable to him.

The two of them sank into the boundless sea of ​​desire almost at the same time and were almost unable to escape.

He, King Jinjiao, and Yang Chan were almost unable to extricate themselves from the power of the Pearl of Bliss, and almost had an accidental discharge of their weapons.

Because of this, Xiao Chen knew the power of this treasure very well.

"The use of the Bliss Pearl..."

Thinking of this treasure and looking at the Wu Qu Star Lord not far away, Xiao Chen already had a plan in his mind.

It seems that it is time to settle this matter.
