The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 361 Another 100,000 people
Li Jingxiao looked up and saw that it was a female fairy.

With a little guess, one might mistake it for the Bodhisattva Vimalamitra.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Old Mother of Lishan.

He took a deep breath and inhaled all the Samadhi True Fire that filled the sky into his stomach.

Finally, he let out a burp and exhaled a puff of black smoke.

But Sun Wukong wasn't so easy to talk to.

Having suffered from the Golden Light Array before, the centipede demon is now in his hands again.

I simply pretended that I couldn't stop myself.

With a burst of strength from both hands, he tore the centipede demon in two.

With a casual toss, it transformed back into its monkey form and reappeared beside Li Jingxiao.

When Li Jingxiao saw him winking at him, he could easily see through the guy's little scheme.

She nodded slightly, which was a way of agreeing to speak well of him.

Fortunately, the Old Mother of Lishan knew that Sun Wukong held grudges, and since the centipede demon was dead...

It's pointless to blame Sun Wukong anymore.

So he just glared at Sun Wukong and then smiled at Li Jingxiao.

"Master Li, could you please give this old woman some face and spare the lives of these seven wicked children?"

Li Jingxiao didn't care about the seven spider demons at all.

Killing them won't earn you much experience.

If he kept them, Li Jingxiao would not have taken them as his women.

So he clasped his hands in a salute without hesitation and said, "The sage has given his command, and his disciples will naturally obey."

The Taoist name of the Old Mother of Lishan is "Yuqing Holy Ancestor Ziyuanjun", and her status is second only to the Three Pure Ones.

When the Four Sages tested the Zen mind, the Old Mother of Lishan transformed into "Mama".

The three Bodhisattvas, Guanyin, Samantabhadra, and Manjushri, transformed into daughters.

It is clear that the status of the Old Mother of Lishan is definitely higher than that of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

She was the leader of the female immortals, second only to the Queen Mother of the West, so Li Jingxiao was foolish enough to refuse this big shot's face because of seven spider demons.

Seeing that Li Jingxiao agreed so readily, the old woman of Lishan naturally had a better impression of him.

She smiled and invited Li Jingxiao to visit her dojo, then waved her hand, and the seven spider demons transformed into seven women at the same time.

Her clothes and hairstyle had all changed.

She looks no different from the female immortals in Heaven; it's obvious at a glance that she wasn't just recruited to be a gatekeeper.

Perhaps they were drawn to the seven spider demons' ability to spin silk, intending to use it to make clothing.

Li Jingxiao ignored all of this and, together with Sun Wukong, respectfully saw the Old Mother of Lishan off.

The two brothers then smiled and teased each other as they found Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and others.

After drinking the Immortal's Intoxication, the centipede demon's poison was easily neutralized.

After giving Tang Sanzang another Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, he quickly regained his vitality.

As for Pigsy, give him a jar of 'Jade Dew Wine' to speed up his health recovery.

Old Pig immediately pestered Li Jingxiao again, asking for ten or twenty jars of 'Jade Dew Wine' for any eventuality.

Li Jingxiao was not stingy and directly gave the three brothers over a hundred jars.

Incidentally, I also gave the little white dragon a few pills to restore mana and health.

But to be honest, on the journey westward, the White Dragon was actually the safest one.

No one cares about him, no one pays attention to him, so no one wants to hurt or harm him.

That night, everyone simply stayed overnight at Huanghua Temple.

After Tang Sanzang finished his vegetarian meal, he went to his room to rest.

Li Jingxiao then summoned all the gods and Buddhas who protected Tang Sanzang in heaven to the Yellow Flower Temple for a drinking party.

During the banquet, they also talked about how, although Huanghua Temple wasn't very big, it had been managed and maintained quite well by the centipede spirit.

Let's just change the name and use it as a new foothold.

After thinking about it, Li Jingxiao decided that it would be better to change it to Zhenwu Temple.

While worshipping Zhenwu the Great, there is also the Sanqing Hall, which shows that they have not forgotten their origins as disciples of Zhenwu the Great in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

Immediately, the dozens of gods and Buddhas present praised him for not forgetting his roots.

Of course, Li Jingxiao would never talk about his experiences in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

He only said that he had worshipped Zhenwu the Great since he was a child, and that he had received the Zhenwu the Great's favor and learned a powerful sword control technique.

Now, everyone praised and flattered him even more.
-
He waved his hand and summoned hundreds of golden-armored warriors, ordering them to clean and tidy up.

Huanghua Temple already worships the Three Pure Ones, so there's no need to make any special changes.

However, after thinking about it, Li Jingxiao took out 40,000 taels of gold from his inventory.

Using the "Finger Transformation" technique from the Seventy-Two Transformations, the forty thousand taels of gold quickly transformed into four pure gold statues.

Of course, the statue must be hollow.

Otherwise, a statue that is 2.4 meters tall cannot be made with just 10,000 taels of gold.

Li Jingxiao had also had quite a few encounters with the Three Pure Ones.

Therefore, among the four pure gold statues, the Three Pure Ones are the most lifelike.

The statue of Zhenwu the Great is just like the one in the Zhenwu Temple in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

And to be honest, Li Jingxiao has been in this world for several years, but he still hasn't met the True Martial Emperor.

Li Jingxiao left behind hundreds of golden-armored warriors to expand the Zhenwu Temple, and personally escorted Tang Sanzang and his disciples to continue their westward journey.

Before leaving, Li Jingxiao thought for a moment and realized that after passing Huanghua Temple, Lion Camel Ridge was just ahead.

He not only personally invited Sun Wukong to visit Peacock Mountain.

He also specifically instructed Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing that the three demons on Lion Camel Ridge were not easy to deal with.

He also described the abilities and personalities of the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Roc.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and his two companions immediately became serious.

Even Li Jingxiao found the monster difficult to deal with, so it must be a powerful one.

Fortunately, upon further reflection, Li Jingxiao is now the leader of the gods and Buddhas who protect his master.

He would also come over every evening to check on things and take everyone for drinks.

If I really encounter a difficult situation, I can always ask him for help.

Even the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Four Duty Officers, the Five Directions Jiedi, the Eighteen Garan, and others who guarded Tang Sanzang could be summoned to fight together.

With this thought in mind, the three brothers' mood immediately improved.

He greeted Li Jingxiao with a smile, then waved and led Tang Sanzang on a continued journey westward.

Li Jingxiao returned to Zhenwu Temple, where the expansion project had already begun.

After thinking about it, he decided to go home and play with his wife.

By the way, I should cultivate the Sword Control Technique to the maximum level as soon as possible, and then switch to the Eight-Nine Divine Skill.

At this point, simply practicing for an hour will yield 93 points of proficiency.

16 hours a day is 1500 points, plus 400 points from drinking Peach Blossom Fairy Wine.

There are 1900 points every day.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The level of "Sword Control Technique" has reached Legendary (17.2/60).

Li Jingxiao wasn't in a hurry. In the cultivation world, there were plenty of examples of people who would meditate for three to five years after starting to cultivate.

Skills level up slowly, but character levels up quickly.

More than two million experience points are gained every day.

The character's level has reached 159 (2658 million/5900 million).

At this point, the pilgrimage team was only a few dozen miles away from Peacock Mountain.

Li Jingxiao, accompanied by Princess Peacock, went out thirty li to greet them.

The princess was somewhat excited and expectant.

This was the first time Li Jingxiao had brought her to meet his friends.

This can be considered a formal public disclosure of her relationship with Lee Kyung-hyo.

Moreover, Sun Wukong is indeed very famous, even if the princess doesn't usually care much about outside affairs.

However, he had heard about the Monkey King's havoc in the Heavenly Palace. On the other hand, Li Jingxiao didn't really notice the arrival of Sun Wukong and his companions, since they met and drank together almost every day.

When Tang Sanzang met Li Jingxiao, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Although Sun Wukong and his two brothers did not tell Tang Sanzang how dangerous Lion Camel Ridge was.

But the closer they got to Lion Camel Ridge, the more serious the expressions of Sun Wukong and his companions became.

This naturally affected Tang Sanzang's mood.

That's why Tang Sanzang was so happy to see Li Jingxiao.

After exchanging greetings, Sun Wukong and the others paid their respects to the Peacock Princess beside Li Jingxiao.

Aside from congratulating them, I didn't have any other thoughts.

Li Jingxiao's fondness for women and his numerous affairs were no secret to the master and his disciples.

What Li Jingxiao didn't expect was that he was hosting a banquet for his master and his disciples.

It wasn't long before the news reached the ears of the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Roc.

Needless to say, one of Princess Peacock's subordinates must have been bribed by the three demons.

Although Li Jingxiao was Princess Peacock's man, he couldn't interfere too much in the affairs of the cave.

To be honest, Li Jingxiao and Princess Kongque were just a casual couple; they never formally married.

Even if he did take over all the affairs of the cave, he would still be unable to discern the loyalty and treachery, the good and evil of everyone.

Therefore, Li Jingxiao prefers to use the Golden Armor Warrior.

The souls of these warriors are in the Heavenly Court, meaning their lives are in the hands of the True Martial Emperor or Laozi.

This will first and foremost prevent the possibility of being bribed.

Secondly, the reward and punishment of the Golden Armor Warriors is very simple. All that is needed is to give some rewards to these Golden Armor Warriors who are always under one's command in the Heavenly Court.

When Li Jingxiao became Laozi's disciple, he received quite a few gifts.

Third, since the golden-armored warrior has no physical body, he doesn't have as many emotions and desires.

Fortunately, Li Jingxiao had truly terrified the Green Lion, White Elephant, and Roc last time.

Therefore, at this moment, these three demons only wanted to eat Tang Sanzang.

After gaining immortality, he would then think about how to take revenge on Li Jingxiao.

Therefore, although they discovered the whereabouts of Tang Sanzang and his companions, they did not rush to take action.

To avoid angering Li Jingxiao, otherwise even if Tang Sanzang was captured, he wouldn't be able to eat happily.

Li Jingxiao and Princess Peacock, along with their entourage, welcomed Tang Sanzang and his disciples into the cave.

A banquet is inevitable.

Tang Sanzang had eaten with Li Jingxiao several times during his journey to the West.

Seeing that it was vegetarian wine, he didn't say he wouldn't drink.

Moreover, the princess's heart was entirely devoted to Li Jingxiao, and she couldn't feel any romantic feelings for Tang Sanzang.

With a normal mindset, he actually had a pleasant conversation with Tang Sanzang, discussing profound philosophical concepts.

Tang Sanzang also had a competitive spirit.

Back in the Tang Dynasty, he often debated scriptures and doctrines with others, so he became very engrossed in his conversations.

However, the more Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie listened, the more they felt that their master was just spouting empty talk.

Especially back in Thorn Ridge, his Daoist resolve was shaken by the debates with Gu Zhigong, Ling Kongzi, Fu Yunsou, Chi Shen Gui, and the Eighteen Masters.

If Li Jingxiao hadn't spoken up first, the debate wouldn't have ended.

Perhaps Tang Sanzang had long lost interest in continuing his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures by this time.

So every time they saw Tang Sanzang arguing with someone, the three brothers felt very annoyed.

Sun Wukong winked at Zhu Bajie.

Pigsy immediately understood that Monkey King was trying to get him to change the subject.

To avoid having to listen to one's master rambling on and on.

However, in front of Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie has always been the master's confidant and good disciple.

If you interrupt your master's conversation, you might get into trouble.

But when Sun Wukong bared his teeth, the old pig was so frightened that he had no choice but to give in.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Sun Wukong, but rather that he was afraid the monkey would steal the wine he had hidden in his ear.

After hesitating for a few seconds, a thought suddenly struck me.

After raising his glass to toast Li Jingxiao, he took the opportunity to ask about the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge.

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang lost all interest in continuing his discussion with the princess.

Li Jingxiao had naturally noticed Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's little tricks long ago.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the monkey wink at him.

I couldn't help but chuckle to myself and remained silent for two seconds.

They knew the monkey was trying to scare Tang Sanzang.

After sorting out his thoughts, he finally spoke: "After passing Peacock Mountain, there is the 800-li Lion Camel Ridge."

There is a Lion Camel Cave in the middle, and there are three demons inside.

They are the Green Lion, the White Elephant, and the Golden-Winged Roc.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing already knew about this during their three-month journey to Lion Camel Ridge.

At first I was a little worried, but as we walked, I realized that the three of us were not bad at all.

So if you're already scared before the game even starts, you're just scaring yourself.

After hearing what Li Jingxiao had just said, Sun Wukong and the other two became somewhat eager to try it out.

But then Li Jingxiao added, "These three demons are not only incredibly powerful, but they also have quite a few demons under their command."

The Lion Camel Ridge was also arranged like a military formation by the three demons.

There are five thousand each in the South Ridge and the North Ridge.

There are also 10,000 at the east and west intersections.

There are four or five thousand on patrol every day, and ten thousand little demons guarding the gates.

There should be at least 45,000.

Moreover, these are elite troops with names and badges, clad in armor.

If you include those who do menial tasks such as tending the fire, chopping wood, and carrying water.

It's at least seventy or eighty thousand.

Li Jingxiao burned down Lion Camel City with a single fire.

They killed 60,000 to 70,000 lesser demons, and 30,000 to 40,000 lesser demons escaped by sheer luck.

They have long since been reunited by the Golden-Winged Roc and assigned to serve in the Lion Camel Cave.

In addition, the Green Lion and the White Elephant were also defeated twice by Li Jingxiao.

So for the past year or so, the three demons have been gathering demons everywhere.

The actual number was 20,000 to 30,000 more than Li Jingxiao knew.

The three demons also brought along several other equally powerful demons to share Tang Sanzang's flesh.

Moreover, these demons don't usually stay in the Lion Camel Cave.

The purpose was to catch Li Jingxiao off guard.

As soon as Li Jingxiao finished speaking, Tang Seng turned pale with fright, and even his arms began to tremble.

For Li Jingxiao, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of demons were all experience points.

But for Tang Sanzang, who was powerless to even kill a chicken, any little demon could easily take his life.

So how could one not be alarmed upon hearing that there were seventy or eighty thousand armored demons wielding halberds?

How can I not be afraid?

Lion Camel Ridge could even be considered the most powerful den of demons on the journey to the west.

After hearing this, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing lost their previous chance of winning.

His complexion also turned ugly.

Especially Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, although their skills were not low.

But it doesn't have Sun Wukong's indestructible body.

Therefore, on their journey to the West, the two were often just bystanders.
