Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad - Chapter 499: The Immortal Steals Peaches from the Peach Garden

There was a poem praising the immortal way:"A fairy suddenly appeared from the depths of the clouds, with a natural and graceful demeanor. The god danced in the rainbow sky, with a precious scroll hanging from his waist that was immortal."

The immortal who has arrived is none other than the "Barefoot Daluo Immortal" who roams freely in the three realms.

This barefoot immortal has never envied the red tape and official constraints of the heavenly court. He only wishes to travel around the world freely and happily.

His whereabouts were uncertain, he traveled thousands of miles, saw everything in the world, and among the immortals overseas, he was famous and had a very high prestige.

The barefoot immortal possesses a rare treasure, the "Poison-killing Treasure Scroll". This "Poison-killing Treasure Scroll" has great powers, which can avoid all kinds of poisons in the world, protect the body and make it invincible.

However, what people admire most about the barefoot immortal is his magical feet.

The barefoot immortal's "foot massage" is amazing.

After tens of thousands of years of training, his feet have reached the level of "quasi-innate magic weapon". With one step, mountains and rivers are shattered, and demons and evil spirits are shattered. They are known as the "holy feet that subdue demons" and are extremely famous.

It can be said that the barefoot immortal's magical feet and the Buddha's magical palms are both rare great magical powers in the world, each with its own merits.

The general who rolled up the curtain once said:

"I took off my hat and armor, and stripped off my official title, and pushed myself onto the killing field; thanks to the 'Barefoot Great Celestial Being', he petitioned for my release; I was spared from death and was banished to the east bank of the Quicksand."

In the original plot of "Journey to the West", when Sha Seng broke the glass cup and was sentenced to death, it was the barefoot immortal who was compassionate and pleaded with the Jade Emperor, thus sparing Sha Seng's life and exiling him to the Quicksand River instead.

Sun Wukong rode on a cloud, chanted a spell, and transformed himself into the appearance of a barefoot immortal, and rushed to the Yaochi Lake for the meeting.

There is also a wonderful fate between the barefoot immortal and the golden toad.

In the human world, the barefoot immortal once transformed himself into "Liu Hai" and subdued a golden toad monster in the human world that could spit out gold, silver and jewels from its mouth, namely the "Three-legged Fortune-bringing Golden Toad".

This is: "Liu Hai plays with the golden toad, and spits out money with every step."

Therefore, he is also called Liu Haichan and Haichanzi.

In Taoism, there are five gods of wealth: the main god of wealth Zhao Gongming, the civil god of wealth Fan Li, the military god of wealth Guan Yu, the partial god of wealth Yao Shaosi, and the quasi-god of wealth Liu Haichan.

Liu Hai went from a poor boy to the God of Wealth.

He is well aware of the sufferings of the poor, so he loves to help the poor the most and is one of the gods of wealth who loves to help the poor the most.

He spread money among the working people, allowing those living in poverty to see hope of survival and bringing wealth to the poor people in the world.

He is known as the "God of Wealth and Blessings" in the world.

Emperor Donghua had also heard of the name of the barefoot immortal and wanted to recruit him. He invited this famous barefoot immortal to join the anti-heaven army to fight against the Heavenly Court.

however.

Behind the barefoot immortal, there was an immortal.

This immortal had disheveled hair and ragged clothes. He wore a tattered blue robe, a wooden belt more than three inches wide, and held a flower basket in his hand.

He looks sloppy, but he is actually of extraordinary status.

This immortal is the younger brother of the Barefoot Immortal, named "The Hair-Pigtailed Immortal", and is the previous life of "Lan Caihe, one of the Eight Immortals of Taoism".

As the eldest brother, Barefoot Immortal has a steady personality and acts calmly.

The immortal with flying hair has a bad temper and behaves in an unruly manner. He often does things that are unexpected and make people laugh and cry.

For this reason, the immortal with long hair was often disciplined by his brother, the immortal with bare feet, but he still did his own thing and did not change his nature.

The Barefoot Immortal came today to ask the Jade Emperor for a way to survive for the overseas immortals.

"Great Celestial Lord, I pay my respects to you, the Great Celestial Lord."

"The disaster that befell Emperor Donghua was indeed his own fault, but this kind of cause and effect will not bring disaster to the overseas immortals."

"Although many overseas immortals participated in this battle, there were also some who did not. They were devoted to the Dao and had no intention of rebellion."

"I hope the great celestial master will show mercy, forgive them, and give them a chance to live."

and.

Now, Emperor Donghua has been captured, the three islands have surrendered, and some overseas immortals can do nothing.

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said:"can."

"I have no intention of implicating innocent people. Since you, the Barefoot Immortal, have come to plead for mercy, I will do as you say."

When the barefoot immortal heard what the Jade Emperor said, he was overjoyed and thanked him again:"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Your grace will be remembered by the overseas immortals."

After paying his respects to the Jade Emperor, the barefoot immortal turned around and came before the Buddha.

The barefoot immortal thanked the Buddha:"The Tathagata Buddha has great magical powers and boundless magic power. He subdued the Emperor Donghua and restored peace to the world. This is truly a blessing for the three realms."

"We, the overseas immortals, have nothing precious to offer as a token of our respect, so we offer two pears and a few dates as a token of our respect. We hope that the Buddha will accept them as a token of our respect."

The pear tree was crystal clear and exuded a tempting aroma.

The fire dates are bright in color, like a burning flame, containing endless spiritual energy, making people feel a surge of vitality.

These pear trees and fire dates are both treasures from the immortals and are hard to find in the world.

I heard what the barefoot immortal said.

"These are fire dates and pears..."

"This is also a good thing. It is destined to be with my Buddha!"

The two venerables, Ananda and Kasyapa, were standing aside, their eyes suddenly lit up, and their eyes were full of greed and desire.

They secretly thought in their hearts that these fire dates and cross pears were rare treasures from the immortals. If they could get them, it would definitely be of great benefit to their practice.

They begged for a lot of alms during this trip to heaven!

(People who can donate to monks have affinity with Buddhism. Monks make good connections by begging for alms, so it is called begging.)This time, they naturally had a share of the profits from "begging" in heaven.

then.

A-Nan and Kasyapa hurried forward, respectfully took the pears and dates with both hands, and carefully put them into the golden bowl used by Buddhists for "begging for alms".

"You two are so sincere. I will keep your kindness in my heart."

"This immortal fruit, I will accept it."

At this moment, the gaze of the immortal with untied hair swept across the golden bowls held in the hands of the two venerables, Ananda and Kasyapa.

I saw a few large peaches lying quietly in the golden bowl.

The subtle fragrance, like gentle fairy music, lingers at the tip of the nose, stirring the heartstrings and exuding an irresistible temptation.

The sweet feeling seemed to be the most delicious nectar in the world, and it penetrated directly into the heart of the immortal with long hair. The immortal with long hair looked at the large peaches and couldn't help but be moved. He secretly exclaimed in his heart:"This... this is actually a large peach with purple stripes and a yellow core!"

"The large-fruited peach with purple stripes and yellow core ripens once every nine thousand years. Anyone who eats it will live as long as heaven and earth, and as old as the sun and the moon."

"What about us immortals?"

"If I could have a taste of this spiritual treasure, it would definitely be of great benefit to my cultivation. It might even help me break through my current realm and reach a higher level."

This is exactly: "You are thinking about my red dates and pears, but I am thinking about your big peaches."

At this moment.

The immortal with long hair had his heart and eyes filled with those peaches.

Whenever he mentioned it, the barefoot immortal would praise it highly, his eyes full of aftertaste and intoxication, as if the taste of the peaches was still lingering on his tongue.

But he, a great immortal with untied hair, had never had such an opportunity.

He had heard that the peaches were delicious. When he saw them today, he just smelled the fragrance and felt a strange warmth surge in his heart, as if an invisible hand was gently tickling his heart, making him itchy and eager to try.

The immortal with untied hair wished he could take the peaches for himself immediately.

"Robbery?"

"Cheating peach?"

……

These thoughts flashed through the mind of the immortal with long hair.

At the Antian Conference, all the gods were immersed in the joyful and peaceful atmosphere. Some raised their glasses to invite the gods, and the wine in the glasses rippled, reflecting the happy smiling faces.

The immortal was chatting and laughing, making witty remarks, which caused bursts of laughter from the immortal friends around him, and no one noticed his subtle and sneaky behavior.

The immortal with long hair thought to himself:

"This golden bowl is heavily guarded, and with powerful beings like Tathagata Buddha sitting nearby, it is almost impossible to steal peaches from the golden bowl."

then.

The immortal with flying hair had a thought in his mind, and the cunning thoughts grew like weeds, and he had a perverse idea:"Why don't I take this opportunity to sneak into the Queen Mother's Peach Garden and enjoy the food there to my heart's content? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The immortal with flying hair secretly calculated in his heart, and glanced around again with a sly look. After confirming that no one was paying attention, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely noticeable smirk:

"Now that all the immortals and gods are drinking and having fun at the Peach Banquet, the guards of the Peach Garden must be very lax. This is a perfect opportunity to strike."

"However, I heard that the one guarding the Peach Garden now is the former demon king of the lower world, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Monkey King."

"This monkey loves to eat peaches the most."

The immortal with long hair raised a wicked smile and came up with a plan:"If something happens."

"Why don't I put the blame on the Monkey King and spread rumors that he stole the peaches."

"Who would believe him?"

"In this way, even if something happens."

"And there's this wild monkey to 'settle accounts' with me."

"By then, it won't matter whether he stole the peaches or not."

"This way, the matter will be perfect and no one will be able to trace it back to me."

Mind this.

The immortal with long hair already had an idea in his mind.

The immortal with long hair pretended to be nonchalant, walked briskly to the side of the barefoot immortal, lowered his voice, and chatted casually:"Brother, the peaches..."

The barefoot immortal had no idea that his little brother actually wanted to steal peaches from the Peach Garden. He thought he was simply interested in the peaches, so he followed the immortal's words and started chatting with him.

"Brother, the Peach Banquet in Yaochi..."

While chatting with the barefoot immortal, the immortal with long hair skillfully guided the topic and got the approximate locations of the Yaochi and Pantao Garden from the barefoot immortal.

His eyes lit up and he was secretly delighted:

"Peach Garden, here I come!"

If you want to steal something, you have to be well prepared.

First, he would make a "proof of presence" to leave the impression on the immortals that he was there.

then.

His face was full of smiles, and he bowed to everyone he met, saying auspicious words:"My friend, today's Heavenly Peace Conference is really lively, we must have a good drink."

Out of respect for the barefoot immortal, the other immortals were nice to the untied-haired immortal. They returned the gifts and exchanged greetings with him.

If you want to get involved in this business, you need a background.

It is obvious that the background of the immortal with long hair is the same as that of the immortal with barefoot feet.

All the immortals thought that he was just here to join in the fun and have some fun, and no one thought of anything else.

After exchanging greetings with the gods in heaven.

The immortal with long hair found a secluded corner.

He took off one of his shoes, took a deep breath, muttered something, quickly formed seals with his hands, and whispered in his heart:"Change!"

Subsequently.

This "fake body" looked natural, and behaved just like a real person. Sometimes he would raise his glass and take a sip, and sometimes he would nod to the immortal friends around him, and no one could tell anything was wrong.

The immortal with long hair looked at his "masterpiece" and nodded with satisfaction:"This is my 'proof of presence'. With it, even if the truth is revealed, no one will suspect me."

"When there is a problem, everyone will only suspect that it was the Monkey King who stole the property."

"That's why the number of peaches doesn't match."

"not my business……"

The real body of the immortal with flying hair turned into a small flying insect. It was light and went to the Peach Garden silently.

The little flying insect shuttled through the clouds, sometimes hiding behind the clouds, sometimes flying close to the ground, silently, and gradually disappeared into the clouds.

The immortal with flying hair was excited and couldn't help but secretly said:"Peach Garden, here I come, here I come, the Great Immortal with Long Hair is here!"
