The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 287 Knock on the door

Seeing that Zhu Bajie still wouldn't agree, Li Jingxiao cursed inwardly.

He then offered his last resort: "Brother Pig, if you help me, I will help you find a way to marry Miss Gao."

If I cannot do that, I am willing to compensate you with 5 taels of silver.

When Pigsy heard about the 50,000 taels of silver, his first thought was actually, "If only I had that much silver!"

If you go to the Fox Fairy Temple to have some fun, you could probably play there for a year or two.

It was then confirmed that this kid was not only rich, but also definitely someone with a family legacy.

Otherwise, no matter how skilled a Taoist priest is, nine and a half out of ten will be poor.

The remaining half could not possibly be as generous as this kid.

Now there was no more hesitation. She even thought to herself that she should get closer to this kid in the future.

It would be good to get more money from him to spend.

He asked directly, "How many days will it take?"

Li Jingxiao chuckled: "At most ten days, and I'll teach that local constable a lesson for you. I guarantee he won't dare to come and kidnap Miss Gao while you're away."

If it exceeds 10 days, an additional 300 taels will be given for each extra day.

Pigsy, relieved, put away his rake and said with a smile, "Brother, go ahead."

I'll go back and tell my great-grandfather, and then pack some luggage and food.

Li Jingxiao nodded, knowing that this guy wanted him to deal with the local constable first and then come back.

I asked who the local constable was and where he lived.

Li Jingxiao's figure rose into the sky with a 'whoosh'.

Once the direction was clear, it only took ten seconds to fly more than twenty miles.

A mythical level sword control technique, capable of reaching speeds of 6 kilometers per hour.

He can control three thousand flying swords.

Moreover, a sword domain is generated, within which flying swords fall densely like raindrops.

The enemy had nowhere and no opportunity to hide.

Combined with Li Jingxiao's clairvoyance, it truly allows one to take a person's head from a thousand miles away as easily as taking something out of a bag.

However, Li Jingxiao has always preferred to keep his abilities hidden.

That's why he didn't show off this skill in front of Pigsy.

Anyway, it only takes a few breaths to fly there.

After hovering in the air, they found the local magistrate's house.

A copper pebble appeared in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, it flew like a large-caliber sniper bullet.

With a whoosh, the gate of the local security guard's house, along with the eaves, was smashed straight through from top to bottom.

When the copper coin hits the ground, it releases tremendous energy, much like a small-scale earthquake.

The already breached gate, along with the connecting courtyard wall and several houses, were all destroyed by the earthquake.

It won't be able to be repaired in two or three months.

Moreover, if that local constable wasn't stupid, he would know that he had definitely provoked someone he shouldn't have.

For a long time, he must have been thinking about who he had offended to deserve this disaster.

In this situation, unless someone is truly outrageously audacious, they would never commit evil again.

Li Jingxiao smiled, glanced around, and then flashed away.

It appeared on the roof of the local magistrate's house.

Using his wall-penetrating technique, he landed inside the house.

After searching around, they quickly found the hidden gold, silver, and jewelry.

After taking a look, I roughly estimated that it was fourteen or fifteen thousand taels of silver.

Li Jingxiao smiled, not only having recovered the cost of hiring Zhu Bajie.

They even made two or three times the amount of money.

With a wave of his hand, he collected the gold, silver, and some jewelry into his inventory.

They passed through the wall, flew into the sky, and returned to the vicinity of Gao Lao Zhuang.

Li Jingxiao selected some of the jewelry that had just been stolen.

I prepared a few items, intending to give them to Zhu Bajie as extra gifts.

I don't believe that Gao Cuilan and her husband, Gao Taigong, would not be tempted when faced with gold and silver jewelry.

After waiting for a while, they saw Pigsy carrying a rake.

With a bundle still hanging on his rake, he walked briskly out of the village.

He just told Mr. and Mrs. Gao, as well as Gao Cuilan, that a friend had asked him for help.

But it only means that a friend is willing to pay a reward of 1000 taels of silver.

Not only were the great-grandfather and his wife astonished, but even Gao Cuilan looked at herself with shy eyes.

The old pig was itching to see it.

The secret passage—my brother was right.

Even if you become a live-in son-in-law, you still need to know how to make money.

They became even more proactive in helping Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao descended from the sky and gave Lao Zhu several pieces of jewelry, which indeed brightened Lao Zhu's smile considerably.

I waited for this guy for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before going back to deliver the jewelry.

The two walked for a while until they reached a grove of trees, whereupon they mounted a cloud and flew to the Kingdom of Treasure Elephant.

During the flight, Lao Zhu repeatedly assured that he would do his best to help Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao secretly rejoiced.

Judging from those pieces of jewelry, Gao Cuilan might have given Lao Zhu a little something in return.

That's what made him so proactive.

Moreover, in the Journey to the West world, whether they are demons or immortals, they all love gold and silver.

Some mountain-dwelling monsters even buy things with silver instead of robbing them.

As they approached Baoxiang Kingdom, Li Jingxiao glanced at Zhu Bajie, who appeared to be a burly, dark-skinned man.

After thinking for a few seconds, he asked the old pig to turn back into a wild boar.

Pigsy was puzzled, and Li Jingxiao said with a smile, "Brother Pig, if you were this big, dark-skinned man..."

If I return to Gao Lao Zhuang in the future and am recognized by someone, I'm bound to run into trouble.

It would be better to have a pig's body, then no one would suspect that you are the same person.

Besides, we invited you here to fight.

"You can't possibly keep up this posture while fighting my rival, can you?"

Pigsy thought that made sense; although he knew the art of transformation, he wasn't really an expert.

Otherwise, they wouldn't always worry that if they got drunk, they would turn back into pig faces and bodies, scaring Miss Gao and her great-grandfather and grandparents.

Moreover, when fighting, looking fierce can actually intimidate your opponent.

Pigsy shook his body a few times and transformed into a fierce-looking creature.

A four-meter-tall wild boar monster with tusks and thick bristles on its head.

Now, even Li Jingxiao felt that it was too ferocious.

Pigsy scratched his head and shook his body a few times.

Although it still looks like a pig monster and is just as ugly, it does look much better to the eye this time.

It's similar to what's shown in TV dramas.

One can imagine how ugly the old pig's true form must be.

Li Jingxiao nodded in satisfaction and led the old pig into Baoxiang Kingdom.

The king and his guards saw Li Jingxiao return with a wild boar spirit.

He asked with a mixture of nervousness and surprise, "Son-in-law, where is this master from?"

When Pigsy heard the king say that he was a master, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Li Jingxiao explained that although Zhu Bajie looked fierce, he was a celestial official in his previous life.

He had just made a mistake and was punished by the Jade Emperor, who ordered him to be reincarnated to suffer. This was his punishment.

I must have been mistakenly reborn as a pig, that's why I look like this.

However, his skills are indeed superb, and there is absolutely no problem for him to fight that yellow-robed monster with me.

King Baoxiang then smiled.

He ordered his men to prepare a banquet.

Li Jingxiao added, "Your Majesty, my friend has quite a large appetite."

We need to prepare enough food for thirty to fifty people. And the more the pig eats, the stronger and more capable it becomes.

Upon hearing this, King Baoxiang was first startled, then his face lit up with joy.

Let alone the appetite of thirty or fifty people, even if it were three or five hundred people, it would be worth it as long as we could subdue that yellow-robed monster.

Upon hearing this, the old pig was overjoyed.

He secretly thought that his younger brother truly understood him.

Before long, the palace maids brought out pastries and wine, and the old pig didn't stand on ceremony, grabbing them and eating them.

He stuffed the plate of pastries into his mouth and swallowed them in no time.

The King of Baoxiang was dumbfounded, while Li Jingxiao simply told the palace maids who were standing there dumbfounded to stop.

She took the pastries from her own table and placed them on Old Pig's table.

Then he instructed people to bring out whatever food was available, in portions for three people.

Upon hearing this, Old Pig nodded in approval without hesitation.

As they ate, the plates on the table were stacked high, but after someone moved them away, they were quickly stacked up again.

In the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, the old pig ate enough food for at least fifty people.

Later, the maids brought out a whole roasted lamb.

Li Jingxiao and King Baoxiang only ate a few lamb ribs; the rest went into the old pig's stomach.

He then took a big gulp of wine and patted his now round belly.

He thanked King Baoxiang and Li Jingxiao with great satisfaction.

After arranging a place for Old Pig to take a nap, Li Jingxiao naturally went to Princess Baihuaxiu's palace.

The princess smiled brightly as soon as she saw him.

Then, out of curiosity, they asked about Pigsy (Zhu Bajie).

Upon hearing that Old Pig had actually eaten enough food for fifty people, the princess immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed in amazement.

However, like her father, she felt that someone who could eat so much must have extraordinary abilities.
-
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Jingxiao had the princess by his side during the day.

The princess cultivated herself after falling asleep at night, and her days were quite pleasant.

The princess was also very beautiful and charming, and Li Jingxiao liked her very much.

After a few days, he had become completely obedient to her.

Although each competition only yielded 1 experience points, it was still comparable to when Li Jingxiao was studying Dream of the Red Chamber.

He not only taught her martial arts, but also enjoyed personally instructing and sparring with her.

Earning five or six thousand, or even seven or eight thousand a day, you accumulate a considerable amount of experience over time.

However, this also made Li Jingxiao miss the female demons in the Journey to the West world even more.

Unfortunately, the yellow-robed monster never came looking for them.

Li Jingxiao immediately felt a little impatient.

So early that morning, after a morning exercise session with the princess.

Li Jingxiao found Lao Zhu.

He pulled him out of the city and onto a hillside, chanted a spell, and stomped his foot on the ground.

Soon the Earth God jumped out of the ground.

I was startled when I saw Pigsy.

Fortunately, Li Jingxiao was dressed in a Taoist robe, carrying a sword on his back, and with a purple-gold gourd hanging at his waist.

By any measure, it doesn't look like a demon.

He then bowed respectfully and asked, "May I ask what business you have with this old man, sir?"

Li Jingxiao remembered that the Yellow Robe Monster's lair was 300 li away from the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom.

But I don't know exactly where it is.

Of course, it's most likely in the east, otherwise Tang Sanzang wouldn't have accidentally walked into the Yellow Robe Monster's cave.

Those who came to him were captured by the Yellow-Robed Monster.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao has the ability to see a thousand miles, so he can easily find it by simply opening his eyes.

After all, there is an ancient pagoda on the mountain where Boyue Cave is located, making it easier to find.

But he didn't want Pigsy to know that he could easily see most things within a thousand miles.

Moreover, while the clairvoyant can indeed see very far, it cannot see through the interior of mountains or caves.

After asking the old man about the land for a few questions, the two thanked him and then rode on clouds to fly southeast.

Before long, we saw the ancient pagoda of Boyue Cave.

Li Jingxiao said to Zhu Bajie, "Brother Zhu, your skills are superior to mine, why don't you hold off that Yellow Robe Monster?"

"Shall I go deal with the lesser demons in the cave first, and then come back to support you?"

Pigsy nodded. In his mind, if Li Jingxiao could defeat the Yellow Robe Monster, then he certainly wouldn't have a problem either.

Li Jingxiao took out his black gold and silver spear and landed on the ground.

Only then did Pigsy, carrying his rake, begin shouting and cursing outside the Wave Moon Cave.

Upon seeing his fierce appearance, the few lesser demons dared not say a word and rushed into the cave to report.

Before long, the yellow-robed monster, wielding a steel knife, led over three hundred lesser demons, cursing and swearing as he charged out.

A few days ago, I failed to bring my wife back home, and then I was tricked by a meddlesome Taoist priest.

I got hit on the head with a stick, and my head has been hurting for the past few days, so naturally I'm in a bad mood.

It would be strange if the Yellow Robe Monster could hold back when he heard someone shouting and cursing outside the cave.

Upon seeing that it was a wild boar demon, the Yellow Robe Monster became even angrier.

He thought to himself, "I've only suffered a minor injury, and some fool has come knocking on my door, trying to use me to become famous."

If I don't show my true skills, I'll definitely be laughed at.

So when the Yellow Robe Monster saw that Pigsy had already prepared his rake, he was about to draw his sword and strike.

But his gaze fell on the rake, and he frowned, thinking, "Why does this weapon look so familiar?"

However, when Zhu Bajie was reincarnated, he mistakenly became a pig, and was completely different from the original Marshal Tianpeng.

No matter how hard the Yellow Robe Monster thought about it, he could never have imagined that Pigsy and Tianpeng were the same person.

So if I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it.

Seeing that Pigsy was still cursing, he was immediately furious.

He cursed back a few times, then charged forward with his knife and started slashing.

Seeing the ferocious look on the yellow-robed monster's face, the old pig immediately became extremely cautious.

For a time, the two were evenly matched.

One of them was a marshal in the celestial realm in a previous life.

One is the first mansion in the west among the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

To Li Jingxiao's surprise, in the original story, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing joined forces to fight the Yellow Robe Monster, but they were defeated after only thirty or forty rounds.

Later, when he fought the Yellow Robe Monster one-on-one, he only lasted about ten rounds before fleeing.

But looking at his battle with the Yellow Robe Monster now, he shows no signs of fatigue at all.

Li Jingxiao thought to himself, "It seems that Pigsy really is slacking off and cheating on the journey to the West."

They are completely unwilling to put in any effort.

Of course, it's also possible that Pigsy never had a full meal on the journey to the West.

The difference in fighting power between a fully fed and unfed Pigsy is indeed quite significant.

Sun Wukong himself has said this.

Seeing that Pigsy shouldn't lose, they even lured the Yellow Robe Monster away while fighting.

Li Jingxiao immediately rushed forward, brandishing his bright silver spear, and charged towards the three hundred or so lesser demons.

Surprisingly, quite a few of these lesser demons possessed rather impressive martial arts skills.

Li Jingxiao then remembered that the White Dragon couldn't defeat the little demons under the Yellow Robe Monster's command.

But this only made Li Jingxiao even happier.

+7 Five Directions and Five Thunder Beads were revealed.

Lightning attack +62.

风雷+42、火雷+42、山雷+42、水雷+42、土雷+42。

Lightning flashed outside the Wave Moon Cave, and five lightning orbs floating around Li Jingxiao continuously shot out streaks of lightning in all directions.

The black and silver spear in his hand was deadly with every shot.

Even those dozen or so powerful demon leaders could withstand the gleaming silver spear.

However, it was difficult to withstand the thunder from the Five Thunder Pearls.
