Chapter 25 Another Chapter Haechi Cave
The performance of the Monkey King began in a joyful atmosphere.
At Lu Changgeng's request, the wolf demon hid in the shadows to provide voiceovers, and he had to use a fake voice. If he didn't comply, he was told he would be sent to meet the King of Hell immediately.
The wolf demon was filled with regret, wishing he could slap himself. Why did he bring up literacy if he hadn't said he was going to do this?
However, compared to the Great Sage Who Guards the Mountain on the stage—oh no, he's just a prisoner mountain demon now—he's much better off.
The mountain demon was forced to perform various shameful actions in front of its former subordinates, which caused the demons to burst into laughter.
Controlled by Lu Changgeng's water flow, the mandrill was forced to raise its folding fan above its head to half-cover its face. Then, it lifted one leg and began to spin on one leg in place, its posture exceptionally alluring. The three bells at its waist jingled incessantly in the evening breeze...
"Andy~ Gajio Sai!!"
The wolf demon provides timely voice acting.
Although the demons couldn't understand the lines, the combination of their demonic movements and sounds created a unique flavor.
Teng San Niang, Tie Gu, and the little spiders watched with great interest.
"Madam, I didn't expect the Immortal Master to be even more cunning than this Great Sage Who Guards the Mountain." Iron Bone laughed.
"This demon has only himself to blame. If he had honestly lent out the magic artifacts and pills, he wouldn't be in this situation now. He had to provoke the immortal."
"That's true."
The demons below were laughing so hard they were practically falling over. The crow spirit covered its long beak with its wings and laughed so hard it choked, falling straight off the tree branch. The deer demon laughed so hard it was scrambling to find its head on the ground...
However, the demon soon stopped laughing...
"Look, the king... isn't the king crying...?" Some of the demons were still using the previous way of addressing him and hadn't changed their minds yet, and they saw that the mountain demon was actually shedding tears.
"It really is! Was the wind too strong, and it got into your eyes?"
"Are you deaf? Where's the wind?"
"..."
Lu Changgeng also noticed that the mighty Great Sage Who Guards the Mountain was actually crying, with tears dripping from the mountain demon's crimson eyes.
The demons present suddenly lost their smiles. After all, he had been their king before, but now he was not only a prisoner, but he had also lost his dignity...
Being unable to live and unable to die must be even more painful than death, right?
"Immortal Master, could you please grant my king a quick death?"
At this moment, a minor demon actually stepped forward to plead for mercy, begging that his king not be humiliated.
Lu Changgeng snorted coldly: "Back in the Xie Zhi Cave, your king wanted me to play the role of a concubine, what were you doing then? Or were you going to perform in place of your king?"
The little demon immediately fell silent.
The other demons remained silent, most of them no longer interested in watching the performance on the stage.
Lu Changgeng was somewhat displeased. Were these little demons so shameless that they were even empathizing with the people who exploited them?
After thinking for a moment, he stopped controlling the water flow of the mandrill, which stumbled and fell to the ground.
"You mountain demon, are you convinced now? Are you willing to choose the respectable path?" Lu Changgeng decided to give him another chance, otherwise he would make him perform for forty-nine days straight.
"If you're still not willing, this humble Taoist wouldn't mind inviting some other great demons from within a thousand miles to come and have a look..."
Upon hearing this, the demons below gasped in shock. It was too ruthless!
The mountain demon, who had been feigning death on the stage, trembled and immediately looked up: "I am willing, I am willing, this...this demon is willing to accept the God-Locking Seal."
"You should have said so earlier! Wouldn't it have been better if you'd just said so sooner?"
Lu Changgeng shook his head, looking as if he had known this would happen in the first place.
"I..." The mandrill was so angry that it spat out a mouthful of blood, then its head lolled to the side and it fainted.
-
Three days later, at the Cleansing Spring.
Lu Changgeng, dressed in a crimson robe, stood quietly.
Standing beside him were Teng San Niang, Tie Gu, and a mountain demon with a respectful expression.
The mountain demon has been sealed with the Xuan Yuan Locking God Seal, and its life or death is in the hands of Lu Changgeng.
Unless one breaks through the great realm of transformation, sheds the demonic status, and enters the ranks of human immortals, one can unseal the seal on one's own, provided that Lu Changgeng is still at the peak of the Condensation Realm.
Lu Changgeng is currently searching for a place to undergo his transformation tribulation and is giving the three demons some instructions in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
"This humble Taoist is going to undergo tribulation, which will take at least half a month and at most more than a month." Lu Changgeng's voice was calm, revealing no emotion. "The three of you, stay here and take good care of my seven junior sisters."
He had obtained the unicorn magic weapon and the two kinds of elixirs stored by the mountain demon. He dared not say that he was 100% certain of surviving the tribulation, but at least he had some confidence.
Teng San Niang bowed and said, "Immortal Master, rest assured, I will definitely protect the seven young ladies."
Tiegu patted his chest as well: "Immortal Master, even if I risk my life, I will not let anyone get close to this ridge."
"Immortal Master, there is something else I have not yet told you," the mountain demon suddenly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Oh? What is it?" Lu Changgeng turned around, his crimson robe billowing slightly in the morning breeze.
The mandrill lowered its head, a struggle flashing in its crimson eyes, before finally speaking: "There's another treasure inside the Xie Zhi Cave, which I didn't have time to mention before..."
The Iron-Bone King exclaimed "Whoa!" and his eyes widened.
Lu Changgeng sneered, "I think you're afraid that if I fail my tribulation, I'll be buried with me, so you dare not hide anymore, right?"
The mandrill's face stiffened, and it said awkwardly, "Immortal, you are wise... I did indeed have that thought."
Lu Changgeng didn't get angry; he simply asked calmly, "What treasure? Where is it hidden?"
"I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like a fragment of a magical artifact, about the size of a palm, with a deep blue color and flowing patterns on it. When I was at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage, I tried to activate it with my magic power, which caused my demon core to violently vibrate, almost causing me to suffer a qi deviation. I was terrified, so I sealed it in the stone wall of the back hall..."
"Very well, I understand. Now tell me what other treasures you have."
"No...that's all..."
"Really gone?"
"It's really gone..." The mandrill's forehead was covered in sweat.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Lu Changgeng bid farewell to everyone, and with a flicker of his figure, he transformed into a streak of crimson light and headed straight for the southeast.
-
Two and a half hours later, at Qilin Mountain.
The mountain demon had already moved all the lesser demons in the cave away, as Lu Changgeng had instructed, and moved them all to an unnamed peak near Pansiling.
Lu Changgeng did this naturally to give up the Xiezhi Cave to the Golden-haired Hou who would descend to the mortal world in the future, so as to prevent him from getting tainted by the karma of the pilgrims.
At this moment, Lu Changgeng was still some distance from the cave entrance and was about to fly over when a thought suddenly struck him.
He flashed and transformed into a puddle of water, silently lying prone on the ground.
A few breaths later, the soil on the open ground outside the Xiezhi Cave suddenly churned up.
A small figure emerged from the ground.
He had gray hair, a gray beard, and a gray patched robe, and he leaned on a cane thicker than his arm. His face was covered in wrinkles like a walnut shell, and his small eyes were cloudy but gleaming with intelligence.
Old Earth God!
