Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad - Chapter 498: The Fortune-Attracting Golden Toad of Heaven

Human world.

In a corner of Xiniu Hezhou, somewhere in a pigsty filled with the stench of decay and fishiness.

Marshal Tianpeng was in a daze, but his consciousness gradually recovered like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

In an instant, severe pain came over my whole body like a surging tide, as if every inch of my bones were shattered by a heavy hammer and then pieced together again. The pain was piercing and went deep into my soul.

Although the thunder punishment is severe, it is like a sudden storm, coming and going quickly.

However, the suffering of reincarnation was as sticky as glue, corroding slowly, as if countless maggots were wriggling in his bone marrow, gnawing at his soul, devouring his immortal bones, and making his life worse than death.

Everything in front of my eyes is blurry, as if there are layers of thick fog.

Marshal Tianpeng blinked hard, trying to see this strange world clearly.

He found himself in a pigsty filled with a pungent, fishy smell.

The ground was muddy and dirty, and a few old, crooked wooden stakes barely supported the crude roof.

The smell of rotten grass and excrement mixed together into a solid stench that made his throat tighten and his stomach churn, almost making him want to vomit.

“Hmph, hmph, hmph!”

……

In the pigsty, the grunting of the piglets one after another was like countless fine needles, piercing his eardrums and stinging his nerves.

The sounds were sharp and noisy, making his already confused thoughts even more irritated.

Marshal Tianpeng struggled to get up, but his body became bloated and clumsy, as if it was filled with lead. Every movement was extremely difficult, as if a tremendous force was restraining him.

The bloated belly almost hung to the ground, and the short limbs barely supported the round body, which looked like it would collapse at any time due to the weight.

Marshal Tianpeng looked down at his unfamiliar appearance in the reflection of a puddle of urine.

Its body was covered in a messy mess of black pig hair, and one could even see its pinkish-white skin through the gaps. It looked ugly and funny.

This is clearly a black piglet that is less than a month old!

Now, he has fallen to this point, becoming a beast in the pigsty to be slaughtered at will. Even raising his head requires all his strength, as if this simple action has become an unattainable luxury for him.

The little black pig slowly raised its head and looked at the blue sky outside the wooden fence of the pigsty. The clouds looked like torn cotton wool and the sunlight was so dazzling that it made people dizzy.

"Hum hum……"

The little black pig wanted to make a sound, but all he made was a grunting sound.

“Snoo, snooze, snooze!”

“Snoo, snooze, snooze!”

……

The beast turned its pig face covered with eye boogers and grunted threateningly at him, as if warning him not to steal the food.

The little black pig pulled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery and secretly mocked himself in his heart.

This action pulled the wrinkles on his face, making him look more like a real pig.

"Gu, Gu, Gu..."

"Gu, Gu, Gu..."

Waves of hunger kept coming like tides, eroding his consciousness.

The little black pig took staggering steps, its steps unsteady, and subconsciously walked slowly towards the smelly pig trough.

In the pig trough.

A few pieces of moldy bran were floating on the surface of the rotten swill, with unknown brown residues deposited underneath, emitting a disgusting smell.

The memories of past and present lives suddenly came flooding back like a river from heaven, completely drowning him.

He saw at the Peach Banquet, the nectar flowing in the glass cups, the fairy light shimmering, the fairies drinking from their cups, and the laughter echoing in the fairy palace; he saw Chang'e's wide sleeves fluttering, the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance rising from her heart, her beautiful face and graceful dance, which made his heart beat fast...

He saw the distorted face of Wu Qu Xingjun, grinning fiercely on the platform of demotion, and that laughter seemed to still echo in his ears...

All of this finally turned into a disgusting sour smell in his nose, like a sharp blade, piercing his nerves.

"Hahaha……"

The little black pig laughed bitterly in his heart, the past is past.

The past is like smoke, and all the glory and honor that once existed in the fairy world have now disappeared like a dream bubble.

After all, he was no longer the majestic Marshal Tianpeng who commanded the Tianhe navy.

Forget it, just live on, even if it’s such a humble life.

"Gulu, Gulu, Gulu..."

The little black pig stuck his snout into the pig bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls, even though the food was disgusting.

at this time.

He pinched his nose with some disdain and said to the butcher next to the pigsty:"This month, the Madam is still in confinement. The Master has ordered us to make a roast suckling pig today to nourish the Madam."

"It's good for milk production."

"Okay, I understand."

The butcher responded, his voice rough and cold, as if announcing the end of a life.

The butcher strode into the pigpen with a butcher knife in hand.

His eyes swept through the herd of pigs and finally set his eyes on the little black pig that was eating pig food.

“Roast suckling pig…”

"It's better to have tender meat."

It's time for him to kill the pig.

The little black pig (Marshal Tianpeng) looked at the butcher who came with a pig-killing knife, and a fierce and cruel look flashed in his eyes.

The upper world is for gods, and the lower world is of course for demons!He will be a pig demon from now on.

If the name is based on pig, then he will be called "Zhu Ganglie"!

At this time, the heaven was still filled with auspicious clouds and auspicious mist.

There was a dazzling array of delicacies, filled with all kinds of fairy fruits and delicacies, with bright colors and fragrant aromas; the aroma of fine liquor filled the jade cups, and the aroma of the wine was mellow, making people drunk before they even drank it.

Marshal Tianpeng and Star Lord Wu Qu had indeed violated the laws of heaven and were demoted to the mortal world.

This punishment can barely be described as "fair and strict, and the crime is well deserved."

The immortals were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the Heavenly Peace Conference, chatting and laughing, feeling free and at ease.

Moreover, Marshal Tianpeng was demoted, which meant that the position of Marshal Tianpeng was vacant; the Lord of Wu Qu was demoted, which meant that the position of Lord of Wu Qu was also vacant.

A marshal and a star god are both considered important officials in the heavenly court, holding high positions and great power.

The immortals secretly thought that it might be possible for them to compete for these two positions.

For them, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity and a good thing.

After all, among these three realms, there are more people who gloat over other people's misfortunes and more people who take advantage of others' misfortunes.

There are very few people who help others in times of need.

So, in the midst of the drinking and chatting, all I heard was:"His Majesty……"

"Buddha..."

The immortals and gods were still chatting and laughing, raising their glasses and offering wine to the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the Yaochi, and Buddha.

Also flattering.

For a moment, the sound of wine glasses clinking was endless, and laughter echoed throughout the entire venue, showing the peaceful scene of heaven.

A strange fragrance wafted into the air. The fragrance was faint and elegant, yet it also revealed a mysterious aura that instantly startled all the stars in the room.

The gods and Buddhas all put down their wine glasses and looked up at the source of the strange fragrance.

There is a poem praising it: "The sky is filled with clusters of auspicious light, and the sky is filled with fragrance. May you live a long and blessed life for thousands of years, and stay on the ten continents and three islands as fate would have you do."

"Often come to the world to bring thousands of blessings, every time to increase a hundred blessings to the world. The universe, honor, happiness, and longevity are now obtained."

The lucky star holds a Ganoderma lucidum in his hands, and the Ganoderma lucidum emits colorful light and is full of colors.

Luxing rides a white crane with wings as white as snow. It flaps its wings and flies high in the sky, surrounded by an auspicious atmosphere.

Fuxing and Lucky Star came walking on the clouds with light steps. They were truly like the free and easy immortals from other world, otherworldly and untainted by dust.

Behind Fuxing and Luxing, there is another person.

The immortal was holding a coiled dragon staff, with a smile on his face and kind eyes. He was the birthday star.

It turned out that the three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou on Penglai Island, a land of three islands and ten continents, saw that Emperor Donghua had been defeated and knew that the game was over.

The three islands include Fangzhang Fairy Mountain, Penglai Fairy Mountain and Yingzhou Island.

But now in the three islands, the immortals such as Emperor Donghua, Dongfang Shuo, Ao Bing and others from Fangzhang Immortal Mountain, and the Nine Elders of Yingzhou from Yingzhou Island, have either died and their souls have been scattered, disappearing in this vast world; or have been captured and bound, losing their freedom and becoming prisoners.

I'm afraid that their Penglai Island will be liquidated by the Heavenly Court in the future.

By then, disaster will surely befall us.

then.

The three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou thought that the situation was so serious that it was like a mountain falling down on their heads. They might as well take the initiative to go to the Heaven and show their loyalty to the Jade Emperor. Maybe they could still have a chance of survival.

Of course, surrendering requires determination, a letter of surrender, and the offering of gifts to show sincerity.

Therefore, the three immortals Fu Lu Shou went to Fangzhang Immortal Mountain, wiped out the remaining forces of Emperor Donghua on Fangzhang Immortal Mountain, and brought back the "Seal of the Mountain God" of Fangzhang Immortal Mountain.

This seal is the treasure of Fangzhang Immortal Mountain and can control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the three islands.

The three immortals Fu Lu Shou came uninvited and stepped into the venue of the Tian An Conference.

Fuxing was the first to step forward, and came to the Jade Emperor, and quickly bowed and saluted. After the ceremony, he opened his mouth and said:"Your Majesty, please understand. We have been suffering for a long time in the land of Penglai Fairy Island, and Emperor Donghua has been suffering for a long time."

"The Emperor Donghua is tyrannical and reckless, and treats us like nothing."

"Although we are dissatisfied, we dare not speak out and can only swallow our anger!"

"We just heard that the Donghua demon was subdued by the Tathagata Buddha. We are overjoyed, as if the clouds have been cleared and the sun has appeared. That is why we came here to express our loyalty to Your Majesty."

"There are also some remnants of Emperor Donghua. We have already captured them all and tied them up outside the Nantian Gate!"

"I present this to Your Majesty to prove our sincerity."

This means that the three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou took the initiative to offer their territory and submit their letters of surrender to show their submission.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself that the three immortals of Penglai Island were quite sensible about the current situation.

"Yes, please take a seat."

What is politics?Politics is about attacking one faction and supporting another.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

You can't just kill them all and leave no way for them to survive, because that would be a complete loss of both sides.

Fuxing thanked him.

He knew in his heart that it was done.

then.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand.

The three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou took their seats, passed around the cups and drank and had fun with the other immortals, blending into the joyful atmosphere.

Everyone is having fun together.

The birthday star came to the seat of Tathagata Buddha again and bowed to thank him:"I just heard that the Donghua demon was subdued by the Tathagata Buddha. The Tathagata Buddha subdued this great demon. It can be said that his merits are immeasurable and will benefit the three realms."

"This feat has resolved many crises in the Three Realms. We, the immortals, are all grateful."

"My Penglai Fairy Island has nothing else to offer, so we offer you the Purple Ganoderma and Jade Grass, Green Lotus and Golden Pill. Although these spiritual objects are not the most precious in the world, they are full of our thoughts and are a token of our respect."

The moment when you see the purple ganoderma, green lotus root, golden elixir and other fairy fruits.

"This is the Purple Ganoderma Lucidum and the Green Lotus Root Golden Pill..."

"This is also a good thing. It is a blessing to have this spiritual object with me."

This purple ganoderma is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, containing endless spiritual energy. Taking it can prolong life and increase magical powers.

The Green Lotus Golden Pill is a treasure of the immortals. It can bring the dead back to life and grow flesh on bones. It can save lives at the critical moment.

It’s not that there are no good things in Lingshan. There are so many good things in Lingshan.

On top of Lingshan Mountain, even the tiles are made of gold, shining brightly in the sun; the ground is paved with agate and jade, as smooth as a mirror, and magnificent.

Even the vegetarian meals at Lingshan are all made of immortal products, immortal dishes, immortal tea, immortal fruits and all kinds of delicacies, completely different from those in the mortal world.

As the poem says:"I saw the golden tiles with mandarin ducks on them, and the bright bricks with agate on them. To the east, to the west, they were all palaces and pearl towers; to the south, to the north, they were all empty pavilions and precious buildings."

But who would complain about having too many good things?Upon hearing the birthday star's words, the two venerables, Ananda and Kasyapa, stepped forward in a hurry and took the purple ganoderma and green lotus elixir given by the birthday star with their hands with utmost respect.

They were very careful, as if holding a treasure, and put those rare treasures into the golden bowl used by Buddhism for "begging for alms", for fear that they would damage these spiritual objects of heaven and earth if they were not careful.

"The immortals like Shouxing have the Three Realms in their hearts, which is really a great kindness!"

……

The Three Realms are not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly affairs.

After a round of "business praise" between the Buddha Tathagata and the three stars of Fu Lu Shou, the three stars of Fu Lu Shou returned to their seats with satisfied smiles on their faces.

The outer area of ​​the Antiy Conference.

suddenly.

"Ok?"

Xiao Chen seemed to sense something, and his gaze was instantly attracted to somewhere on the horizon, with a hint of confusion and expectation in his eyes.

Xiao Chen pondered secretly in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in his heart.

However, at this moment he was protected by the "Ancestral Dragon Pearl", and his aura had changed greatly. Even his fellow toads would find it difficult to recognize him as the Golden Horned King.

I saw colorful auspicious clouds flying in the sky, as if a gorgeous painting was slowly spreading across the sky; the auspicious mist was swaying, just like a lively brocade dancing in the sky.

In the middle of the clouds, there stood a great immortal, riding steadily on a "three-legged golden toad that brings fortune".

The back of the three-legged fortune-bringing golden toad is filled with a dazzling array of gold, silver and jewels, including round and white pearls, crystal clear jade, and dazzling gold ingots...

"Quack, quack, quack!"

"Quack, quack, quack!"

……

Each gold coin sparkles with dazzling light, carrying with it blessings and fortune, crossing the sky and falling to the earth like a meteor.

but.

If you are more careful, you will find that most of these gold coins are actually spit out to the poor people in the world.

The gold coin seemed to carry the mercy of the three-legged golden toad and the good intentions of the immortal, and it fell accurately into the hands of those in need.

The person who was lucky enough to be hit by the gold coin first stood there in a daze, as if he was stunned by this sudden good luck, his eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief, and he wondered if he was dreaming.

Then, smiles of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Get rich!"

"Suddenly rich!"

……

They danced and cheered, their eyes full of longing for the future, as if they saw their future days filled with gold and silver, rich and prosperous, and their family well-fed and well-clothed, living a happy and fulfilling life.

This is exactly: "The golden toad spits out wealth, blessing the world and bringing endless joy."
