Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 134 asked!

"call"

The wind whistled in my ears.

A white cloud rose straight into the sky.

Above the clouds, Qi Hu, dressed in a black robe, naturally heard the king's shouts coming from the Chechi Kingdom's palace below.

It's just that he couldn't respond at the moment.

Che Chiguo will definitely come back again.

But he couldn't be sure when or how long he would come back.

Because what happens next is quite time-consuming and full of uncertainty.

He first had to go back to Jindou Mountain to help the Green Bull Demon and the One-horned Rhinoceros to come up with a plan to deal with the pilgrim team, and then go to Kunlun Immortal Gate to get the reward from Zhang Tianshi.

The former is very close and the time is not too bad, it shouldn’t take too long.

But when dealing with the pilgrims and Sun Wukong, he was not surprised by any accidents.

Although he got the promise from the unicorn, he still needed to be extra careful.

In short, there are many uncertainties.

As for the latter, going to the great immortal gate Kunlun would not only take up a lot of time, but would also be full of uncertainty.

He now doesn't know where the Kunlun Immortal Gate is or which direction the mountain gate faces.

In short, there are too many things to come.

He himself did not know when he would return to Chechi Kingdom next time. When he came back, the king would no longer be there.
Therefore, he could not give the king a definite answer.

Thinking back to the king's previous care and caution towards him, he couldn't help but think of the relationship between himself and Zhang Tianshi.
It really feels like a time before, just like this moment now.
Qi Hu was dazed for a moment.
long silence.

A sigh.

Qi Hu shook his head, raised his head and looked in the direction of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, then galloped away.

The sky is clear and the air is crisp today.

Light cloud and wind.

When flying, the view is particularly broad and my mood becomes happier.

When a broad and turbulent river appeared in the distance ahead.

Qi Hu subconsciously looked down.

The Tongtian River is right in front of us, but I don’t know whether Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang’s team have arrived at Chenjiazhuang yet.

weather is good.

Even though he was high in the sky, Qi Hu could still see Chenjiazhuang next to the Tongtian River below, but it was very small.

However, according to the distance from Chenjiazhuang to the capital of Chechi Kingdom, the team would take a shortcut through mountains and forests, which should take at least a month.

It has only been over half a month since the pilgrim team left, so they should not have arrived yet.

Didn't look closely.

Qi Hu just lowered his head and took a quick look, then stopped paying attention and rode his cloud quickly towards the direction of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom.

But he didn't know.

Because he was delayed for too long in the capital of Chechi State.

Tang Sanzang and his three disciples rode non-stop, greatly speeding up their journey.

Now we have arrived at Chenjiazhuang.

It is located in the lobby of guest rooms specially provided for travelers to stay overnight.

The current patriarch of Chenjiazhuang was receiving four figures. Sitting next to the patriarch at the main table was a handsome monk wearing a cassock, with a tall stature, red lips and white teeth.

On the guest seats nearby were a figure that looked like a monkey, a pig, and a tall figure with a green face and red hair that looked like a monster.

If they are not the three disciples led by Tang Sanzang, who else could they be, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing?

Tang Sanzang put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the middle-aged clan leader sitting at the table next to him. He was clearly well dressed, but had a sad face.

This is obviously a sign of resentment or something else.

But since the other party didn't say anything, Tang Sanzang would not ask more questions without reason. He had a brief conversation with the Chen clan leader.

"Fly."

"Fly."

At this moment, a lively and cheerful voice suddenly came from the room next to the living room.

Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong and his disciples all turned their heads and saw a boy running into the living room with a bamboo dragonfly toy.

But at this moment, the child tripped and fell next to Zhu Bajie.

At this moment, Zhu Bajie, who drank a cup of tea like an old cow, immediately reached out and picked up the child. Seeing that the child had fallen hard but did not cry or make a fuss, he could not help but grin and said, "Whose unlucky child is so sensible? He didn't cry even after falling. Hehe."

But he didn't finish his words.

The middle-aged clan leader at the main table had already quickly run to Zhu Bajie's side and hugged his son. Before he could say anything, tears started to flow down his face. He hurriedly asked, "Son, are you okay? Are you hurt? Where did you fall?"

The child looked at his father, whose face was filled with tears, and immediately reached out to wipe his tears, saying, "Daddy, I'm fine. Don't cry."

It was just this sensible son who spoke.

But the old patriarch could not hold back his tears any more, and they burst into tears, which really surprised Tang Sanzang and his eldest disciple Sun Wukong, and they could not help but look at each other.

immediately.

The old patriarch apologized to Tang Sanzang, then quickly left the living room with his son in his arms.

Watching the clan leader disappear, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but look at his eldest disciple and whispered, "Wukong, this clan leader looks like a resolute person. His son just fell down, why is he crying so emotionally?"

I heard Master say that other people like to cry.

Sun Wukong subconsciously wanted to complain in his heart, speaking of crying, Master, please don’t talk about other people.

But he was much more sensible than Zhu Bajie after all, so he said: "I think there must be something wrong here."

But Sun Wukong had just finished speaking.

Zhu Bajie immediately responded, "What could be wrong? From my perspective, it's just the deep love between father and son. The old man is not young anymore, and having such a young son must be a gift from old age, so it's normal for him to spoil his son."

Zhu Bajie, who thought he had said something good, immediately looked at Sha Monk beside him and said, "Brother Sha, don't you think so?"

But Zhu Bajie glanced at the blind man, but Sha Seng said nothing and just drank his tea.

Seeing that his unique opinion was not echoed, Zhu Bajie was dissatisfied and was about to speak again, but he saw the patriarch who had left earlier returning, so he had to stop talking in dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry to make the elders laugh."

As soon as the Chen clan leader arrived, he bowed to Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

Tang Sanzang immediately said: "The old donor has a deep love for his son, which is really enviable."

It was obvious that he was listening to what Zhu Bajie had just said.

Zhu Bajie looked very proud after hearing this.

"Eh"

The Chen clan leader sat down, sighed, and said, "Elder, you don't know, my child Chen Guanbao doesn't have many days left to live!"

talking.

The Chen clan leader couldn't help crying again.

And heard this.

Tang Sanzang and his three disciples were all shocked.

Tang Sanzang immediately asked, "Old donor, your child has a rosy and lively complexion and doesn't look sick. Why do you say that?"

"Eh"

The Chen clan leader wiped away his tears, and then told the story about a monster called "King of Inspiration" in the Tongtian River who controlled the weather in Chenjiazhuang and demanded young boys and girls for sacrifice every year.

Then he said, "This year it is our family's turn to offer a boy and a girl to the Inspiration King. My son Guan Bao and my brother's daughter, whose nickname is Yichengjin, will offer sacrifices to the Inspiration King in a few days."

“I really can’t bear to leave.”

After hearing what the Chen clan leader said.

Tang Sanzang's face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "You actually want to sacrifice young boys and girls, you are really a monster!"

On the side, Sun Wukong's eyes began to move rapidly.

When the master beside him cast his eyes over.

Sun Wukong had already made up his mind. He stood up and walked to the center of the living room. He looked at the Chen clan leader who was still wiping tears at the main table and said, "Old donor, do you think I look like him?"

Say it.

Sun Wukong's body shape instantly changed into the same appearance as the child who fell down while playing with the bamboo dragonfly.

The Chen clan leader sitting at the main table was stunned.

Seeing that the other party was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Sun Wukong was impatient and could not help but urge, "Old donor, you haven't told me yet, do I look like your child?"

“Like!”

The Chen clan leader immediately realized what was going on and nodded repeatedly, saying, "They are so similar, they are exactly the same!"

"Then I became like this, and was sacrificed to the monster in place of your son."

Sun Wukong continued, "Do you think it's good?"

Hear this.

The Chen clan leader reacted immediately. He did not reply to Sun Wukong immediately, but stood up excitedly and shouted to the servant beside him: "Go and bring Guan Bao here!"

The servants hurried down. After giving the order, the Chen clan leader immediately fell to his knees on the ground.

At this time, Chen Guanbao was also reported over.

"quick!"

The Chen clan leader immediately pulled his youngest son to kneel together, and said to Sun Wukong, who had transformed into Chen Guanbao: "If the elder is willing to do this, then you are my second parents! Second parents!"

After saying that, the Chen clan leader pulled his youngest son and kowtowed three times to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong withdrew his magical power and immediately said with a smile: "Get up, get up, the old donor just said that there is your niece, where is she? Call her to come and see her?"

Not long after.

A cute little girl with pigtails, who was about the same height and age as Chen Guanbao, was brought into the hall.

Sun Wukong then looked at the Chen clan leader and said, "Old donor, please prepare some more rice and vegetables later. Remember to make sure the quantity is large enough so that my fellow apprentice Bajie can eat enough. Then he will save your niece."

“Yes, yes.”

Upon hearing this, the Chen clan leader was overjoyed and said, "I will definitely make sure that this pig elder and the other elders are well fed! I will."

Soon.

After arranging the guest rooms for the four distinguished elders of the pilgrimage team.

The Chen clan leader came out of the door alone, put his hands together and worshiped towards the western sky, saying in his heart: "God bless you, Taoist Qi bless you"

"Master, you said that within ten years, someone capable would come to deal with the monster. This year is the seventh year, and I have finally waited."

"Master, may you bless me."

Qi Hu naturally didn't know that someone in Chenjiazhuang was talking about him.

He was flying high in the sky at this time and could already see the huge city of the capital of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom in the distance ahead.

He came to the Western Liang Women's Kingdom for no other reason than to ask Nangong Qing of Shushan about the location of the gate to Kunlun Immortal Gate.

To prepare in advance for the future trip to Kunlun.

After all, they will have to deal with Sun Wukong and the pilgrim team at Jindou Mountain next, and even Qi Hu himself, a demon outside his body, feels a little unsure.

In case of an uncontrollable accident, he would not have to come to the Shushan base to inquire about the news. It would be better to make preparations in advance.

As soon as they approached the capital of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom.

Then I heard a cold and pleasant voice coming from the city: "Brother Qi Dao is not a stranger, so I won't go out to greet you."

"It's me who disturbed you."

Qi Hu immediately laughed and flew straight towards the tallest tower in the capital of the Kingdom of Women.

Entering from the terrace and landing in the hall, I saw Nangong Qing, who was wearing a white feather dress and had the same outstanding temperament as always, making tea at the tea table.

He glanced around the hall.

Qi Hu then asked, "Why don't you see Brother Chen Fan?"

"Brother Dao just left, and my senior brother also left for something."

In front of the tea table, Nangong Qing smiled and said, "Counting the days, I'm almost done with my work. I should be back today."

"Oh"

Hear this.

Qi Hu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then I came at the right time."

Last time, in this hall, after Chen Fan realized that he was a demon, he began to bully him in his words.

Qi Hu is not the kind of person who won't fight back when being beaten or scolded. As long as he can get revenge, he will usually do it on the spot.

So he started to confront Senior Brother Chen Fan, Nangong Qing.

But they were all respectable people, and with Nangong Qing present, they spoke in a reserved manner, and they all spoke in roundabout ways to each other, so there was no such thing as red faces.

Nangong Qing was delighted to hear this.

However, Nangong Qing's attitude towards him did not change much after Qi Hu took the initiative to expose his true identity as a demon, which surprised Qi Hu.

After all, disciples of the Great Immortal Sect have no right to deal with matters concerning the demon race unless there are clear prohibitions in the sect rules.

Otherwise, everyone generally has their own opinions, ranging from disgust, indifference, to indifference.

of course.

The main reason why Qi Hu was able to sit down and chat with Nangong Qing and Chen Fan even though he took the initiative to reveal his identity last time was because his aura and spiritual power were completely unlike those of ordinary monsters. They were so pure that they couldn't be any purer, and it was obvious that he came from an extraordinary background.

For someone like Qi Hu, although he is a monster, he is actually not much different from ordinary disciples of immortal sects.

Of course, there are a few exceptions.

If Qi Hu had a turbid aura like other wild monsters.

Chen Fan, who was already hostile to him, might have turned against him last time, and Nangong Qing's attitude would probably have changed to some extent as well.

In short, after changing to the "Jiuhua Golden Chapter" technique, Qi Hu's fate also quietly changed.

"Brother, please sit anywhere."

Nangong Qing, who was making tea, naturally understood what Qi Hu meant and immediately said with a smile, "Who knows, my senior brother may not come back today."

But she had just finished speaking.

"Who is cursing me that I can't come back today?"

A voice came from the sky outside the tower.

soon.

A figure in a white robe appeared outside the terrace and flew into the hall.

Looking at Qi Hu, who was sitting beside him in a black robe, Chen Fan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Qi is quite diligent in coming here."

"It's not as good as Chen Daoyou following closely."

Qi Hu said casually.

“Tea is ready”

Seeing this scene, Nangong Qing immediately smiled and said, "Come and have some tea."

Not long after.

A cup of tea.

Qi Hu looked at Nangong Qing at the main table and asked, "I came here this time because I want to ask for help from Daoist Nangong."

"Oh"

Nangong Qing was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, just speak up. I will tell you what I know."

That's it.

I heard that my junior sister treated Qi Shanjun, the tiger demon, in a different way than the average cultivator.

Chen Fan, who was standing by, saw this and naturally felt dissatisfied.

Fortunately, Qi Shanjun on the opposite side was either uncivilized or had no interest in treating his junior sister, so it was okay.

This made him feel a little better.

Qi Hu naturally didn't know what Chen Fan was thinking, so he asked directly, "Does Daoist Nangong know where Kunlun Mountain is?"

Hearing this, Nangong Qing was surprised and asked, "Brother Dao is going to Kunlun Sect?"

Qi Hu nodded: "That's right, I want to go to Kunlun for something, but I don't know where the gate of Kunlun Mountain is, so I would like to ask Brother Nangong for advice?"

Nangong Qing smiled and said, "The Kunlun Sect is as big as our Shushan Sect. Its location is no secret. It is just..."

Half an hour later.

After getting the information he wanted, Qi Hu said goodbye to Nangong Qing and left with satisfaction.

The only one left, Chen Fan from Shushan, was standing aside, feeling quite angry.

Out of the Kingdom of Women.

Qi Hu then galloped towards the direction of Jindou Mountain.

at dusk.

When Qi Hu arrived at the Jindou Mountain Range, he did not return to his own Hongfeng Ridge immediately, but flew towards the main mountain.

Not long after.

Then he fell in front of the golden pocket cave.

Amid the respectful voices of the little demons on both sides, he walked into the Jindou Cave again.

The one-horned Si who had been drinking with the witch maid for ten years asked Qi Hu when he saw him, "Have you settled the matter of Chechi Kingdom?"

"All right."

Qi Hu nodded and smiled, "Now I will report to the king."

"I feel relieved when you come here."

The unicorn also smiled, motioned to the long table set aside and said, "Sit down."

Wait for Qi Hu to sit down.

The unicorn then asked, "You are late, according to your estimate, how long do you think it will take Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong to reach our Jindou Mountain?"

Qi Hu thought for a moment, then said: "About half a year, then Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong should be able to arrive..."

"Half a year."

Hearing the time, Dujiaosi couldn't help but sigh to himself: "It seems that my king will not have much time to relax."
