Chapter 236: Lion Country, the Three Brothers of the Axe Gang
There is a small human country at the junction of Nanfanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou, called the Lion and Camel Country. It was named because there is a mountain range in the country, and the left and right sides resemble a lion and a camel.
Although two-thirds of the country is located in Xiniu Hezhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Buddhism, the Shituo Kingdom is a country that uprightly believes in Taoism. The national ceremonies worship the Three Pure Ones and Six Imperial Kings, weddings and funerals. Those who studied customs also studied the distant Qin Dynasty. It is said that the founder of this country was the descendant of the nobles who fled here when the Great Shang Dynasty was destroyed, and they were also pure Chinese people.
Da Qin is located in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the two places are separated by almost an entire Nanfangbu Continent. The Lion and Tuo Kingdom is not only strong in national power, but also inherits the inheritance of its ancestors, so it has always promoted Taoism and suppressed Buddhism.
However, a disaster quietly befell the lion and camel country.
The Shituo Kingdom has a radius of 800 miles, and its edge is Shituo Mountain. There is a place in Shituo Mountain called Shituo Ridge. Some Buddhists once negotiated with the king to change the name. Why? Because Shituoling has a similar pronunciation to the Sanskrit word "Shachaolin", which means the place where corpses are abandoned and the grave of monks.
Naturally, the king at the time ignored this request.
The terrain of Shituo Ridge is steep, and there are many demons and monsters living in the ridge. Therefore, the Shituo Kingdom has issued a decree that no one is allowed to approach at will, and a large number of monks and soldiers are sent to Shituo Ridge every year to eliminate the demons. Although the demons cannot be completely eliminated, But it also trapped them in Shituoling, unable to come out at will to harm the people.
But in the past year, there has been no news from the monks and soldiers sent by the Shituo Kingdom to Shituoling several times. At first, they thought it was just normal battle damage, but this happened after several waves of people were sent. When the great monk reached the Golden Immortal, the whole Shitu Kingdom was suddenly panicked, thinking that there was a great demon coming here from other places.
In Shituo City, countless people gathered at the entrance of the city gate. A man dressed as an officer was holding a banner and chanting. Beside him were several Taoist monks carrying swords.
"There is a powerful demon entrenched in Shituoling. The imperial court has sent troops to suppress it many times in the past few months without any results, and the losses have been considerable. In order to ensure the safety of the people, His Majesty the King has recruited a large number of monks from today on. Regardless of their origins or cultivation level, anyone who is interested can Anyone can sign up, and rewards will be given based on merit. We hope that knowledgeable people will put the people first and sign up enthusiastically."
The officer read, then nodded towards the monks beside him.
These monks are disciples of Jianmen, the largest sect in Shituo Kingdom. Everyone has the strength of an immortal, but now there are only three or four of them in the entire Jianmen. The reason is that the sect responded to the king's order to go to Shituo one month ago. The demons were eliminated from the mountain, but they never came back, and thousands of disciples disappeared from sight. You must know that the head of the Sword Sect is a powerful Jinxian, who has always been on good terms with the gods in heaven, and is also well-known in the world of cultivation.
Now that the tree fell and the hozens dispersed, the remaining few people tried to contact Heaven, but no one paid attention to them. The reason was that this place was too close to Buddhism and no one wanted to meddle in this nosy, so as not to leave a scandal for Buddhism. In desperation, the remaining few disciples They met with the King of the Lion and Camel Kingdom together. However, the King was already in a state of distress, so he came up with this method just to recruit some powerful monks.
"Brother, these are ordinary mortals here. How can we avenge Master and the others?" A young disciple said to an older man.
"Junior brother Qingyun, why do we practice here? Do you still remember the ancestral teachings of our master?" the senior brother asked.
The young man named Qingyun suddenly looked solemn and replied.
"To slay demons and demons, a swordsman would rather break than bend."
"Senior Brother Jianyun, we are not afraid of death, but..." At this time, another disciple hesitated and said.
This senior fellow was none other than the eldest disciple of Jianmen, Jian Yun. He had been left behind by the sect before. He stayed in Shituo City with several junior fellow apprentices, so he survived by luck.
Jian Yun's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, and he motioned to the officer on the side to continue reading the announcement.
"I understand what you mean. Now that the Heavenly Court doesn't care about us, His Majesty and I can only think of this method. If that still doesn't work, I plan to go to Da Qin." Jian Yun said.
"Da Qin?" Several people were suddenly shocked.
"Yes, Great Qin, it is a great country with countless powerful monks. I plan to go there to ask for help. I hope they will lend a helping hand because our lion and camel country was once a member of the Central Plains." Jian Yun nodded.
"But, senior brother, it's a long way to go to Daqin, and the new monster from Shitunoling is ready to attack. I'm afraid it won't be in time." Qingyun said worriedly.
"I know, but do we still have a choice?" Jian Yun said helplessly.
At this moment, a sudden chaos broke out in the crowd.
"Hey, hey, get out of the way, get out of the way, let us in."
I saw two strong men with extraordinary stature protecting a handsome young man who squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and walked towards the officer.
"Huh? Mortals?" Jian Yun looked at them slightly and felt that they had no cultivation level.
"Who are you? Do you know that we are recruiting monks to eliminate demons here." The officer said and was about to ask the soldiers to drive them away.
"Wait a minute." The handsome young man wiped his hair and said calmly.
The officer stopped immediately and looked at the young man suspiciously.
"Are you looking for someone to slay demons? By coincidence, we are exactly that." The young man said.
"Can you get rid of demons?" the officer asked in surprise. Then he looked at Jian Yun behind him.
Jian Yun came over with several junior brothers.
"Little brother, getting rid of demons is not a child's play. If you are not careful, you will die. You should think about it carefully." Jian Yun said.
"What a joke! This gang leader is here to get rid of demons. He is not afraid of death at all." The young man said carelessly.
"Gang leader?" Jianyun was stunned, then looked up and down at the young man. Apart from being a little handsome, he seemed to be nothing special. How could he be the leader of a gang?
"Hey, what gang are you from?" At this time, a junior brother behind Jianyun asked curiously.
"Listen carefully, kid. We are from the Axe Gang. This is our leader Zhizunbao. I call Niu Dali as the second leader of the Axe Gang. This is the third leader Zhu Fengchun."
It turned out that these three people were Sun Wukong who turned into Zhizunbao, the Bull Demon King who changed his name to Niu Dali, and the Marshal Tianpeng who was named Zhu Fengchun by Ah Qing.
"Hahaha..." As soon as the Bull Demon King finished speaking, there was laughter all around.
"Damn, what are you laughing at?" The Bull Demon King roared, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.
"Brother Monkey, I said that the name of the Axe Gang is too rustic. Look." Tianpeng whispered to Zhizunbao.
"What do you know? This is the name that the Emperor likes." Zhizunbao rolled his eyes at him.
Jianyun noticed something was wrong at this time. The roar just now even made his eardrums numb. It can be seen that these three people are not as simple as they appear.
"Okay, you are brave. I agree." Jianyun said.
"Immortal..."
The officer was about to say something, but was stopped by Jianyun.
"Brother Zhizunbao, how about we go over there to chat?" Jianyun pointed to the restaurant next to him.
"Will you treat us?" Zhizunbao asked.
"Haha, of course." Jianyun nodded. He thought the man in front of him was very interesting at this time.
Jianyun and his men took Wukong and others away from the city gate and went to the restaurant.
"Haha, kid, you are good. Lao Niu likes it. I will have a big meal later."
"Lao Zhu also wants it. His mouth is so light."
"You two, pay attention to your image and don't lose face. We are from the Axe Gang." Zhizunbao said angrily.
The three followed Jianyun and others to the restaurant while bickering.
Seeing the three people being so funny, the depressed mood of the Jianmen people was also relaxed a lot.
After everyone sat down, Jianyun told the store owner to serve the dishes casually. The store owner was very happy to see that it was a famous immortal master, and he kept saying yes.
"Boy, you have a lot of face." Bull Demon King said.
"It's all because of the people's love." Jianyun said modestly.
"Brother, you also use swords?" Zhizunbao said at this time.
"Yes, we are disciples of Jianmen." Jianyun said.
"Oh, I know a lot of people who use swords, and you are still so powerful when you use swords." Zhizunbao said enviously.
"You guys shouldn't be from the Lion Country?" Jianyun said straight to the point. Zhizunbao and the others didn't know him or Jianmen, so they were naturally not from the Lion Country.
"No, we are from Dongsheng Shenzhou." Wukong shook his head.
"What?" Jianyun was shocked. Several junior brothers on the side were also shocked.
"What's wrong, is there anything strange?" Wukong asked in confusion.
"Dongsheng Shenzhou is so far from here, how did you get here, Zhizunbao?" Jianyun asked.
"Well..." Wukong scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"..." Jianyun and the others were a little puzzled.
"Ahem, my eldest brother lost a bet with someone and exiled himself for 80,000 miles." Bull Demon King said.
"Bet?"
"Alas, don't mention this, don't mention this, only women and villains are difficult to raise." Wukong dragged a sentence of classical Chinese, and then looked around with a guilty conscience.
It turned out that not long ago, Wukong was in Baiyujing, because the women kept calling him a little monkey, Wukong felt very embarrassed, especially in front of Bai Jingjing, so he proposed a bet to compete with the women in weapon skills without using magic power.
The result was naturally that Wukong was completely defeated. The women had followed Su Yu a long time ago and walked up step by step from the lower world. Putting aside their cultivation, their skills in weapons were not comparable to those in the prehistoric world. This was highly praised by Tongtian Jiaozhu.
So, Wukong exiled himself to 80,000 miles. Of course, there were some private things in it. In fact, the monkey couldn't stay in Baiyujing anymore and wanted to run out for a walk. Then the two sworn brothers, Bull Demon King and Tianpeng, followed him in exile. After 80,000 miles, he just arrived at the Lion Country.
Hearing this funny reason, Jianyun was stunned for a moment and didn't ask more.
Just as he was about to ask something else, he saw the guys coming in with wine and food.
"The dishes are here..."
With the shouting, the big table in front of the few people was filled with dishes in a short while.
"Everyone, please..." Jianyun said.
"It's beautiful, it's beautiful." Zhizunbao said repeatedly.
Then the few people ate and drank, ignoring Jianyun and the others next to them.
Seeing the free and easy look of the few people, Jianyun also laughed and invited the junior brothers to eat together.
