Chapter 329
Flaming Mountain, Meteorite Pit.
The red-gold lava river flowed slowly in the low-lying valley bottom.
And not far away, a withered white bull as big as a mountain but covered in scars was imprisoned in a mountain range.
Vaguely, countless fine talisman arrays flickered in the void, reflecting each other with the surrounding peaks, constantly absorbing the mana and essence from the white bull's body through the underground spiritual veins, keeping him in a state of extreme weakness.
Bang—
A flame meteor flew from the horizon and smashed heavily into the Meteorite Pit.
After the flame smoke and dust dissipated, the Red Boy, all red and with a face like a fierce ghost, walked out from inside, holding a Fire-Tip Spear in one hand, while dragging a scarred white-clothed woman with the other, ignoring her struggle and resistance, and dragged her all the way to the cliff position in front of the white bull.
He raised his head, looked up at the huge white bull, then raised the Fire-Tip Spear, aiming the spear tip at the woman's neck.
"Old bastard, if you still care about a little bit of husband-and-wife affection, I advise you to hand over that thing, otherwise I will kill this woman first, and then send you a piece down."
Hearing Red Boy's voice, the white bull seemed to be woken up, struggling to open his eyes into a thin slit.
However, when seeing the white-clothed beautiful woman crying and telling him not to care about her, the huge white bull sighed deeply, his tone exhausted:
"If you want to kill me, just do it. Why use such boring tricks, and also make fun of your mother? If she saw this scene, how sad and heartbroken she would be."
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, the fierce expression on Red Boy's face stagnated, and then he gritted his teeth and, in the terrified gaze of the white-clothed beautiful woman, directly pierced her throat with the Fire-Tip Spear.
At the same time, a flash of red light flickered, and the white-clothed woman, who was still charming, had her form instantly distorted and changed, turning into a fox girl whose eyes gradually lost their luster.
"How did you see it?"
Red Boy was silent for a while, then opened his mouth again: "I learned this transformation technique from Guanyin of the South Sea. I ask myself that even the Monkey's Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze couldn't see any clues.
And this fox girl knew the habits of mother's daily life very well, and the demeanor of speaking just now was also imitated very similarly. Where exactly did the loophole appear that you recognized it at a glance?"
"Very simple."
The Bull Niu Niu Mowang said in a low voice: "Although you treat me like this, you will never hurt Princess Tieshan no matter what. I have always believed in this point, even if you are not our..."
"Enough!!"
Red Boy suddenly let out a roar, his mana boiling, turning into flames visible to the naked eye and spraying out.
"You... you clearly know my background, being so humiliated by those guys in the sky, yet why do you still want to be their dog! Are you so afraid of them!!"
"Sigh... you don't understand..."
Looking at this child who, although he had no blood relationship with him, had been pampered and raised by him since childhood, the Bull Niu Niu Mowang couldn't help but sigh longly.
Afraid?
Of course afraid.
The Bull Niu Niu Mowang of the past had not been without high spirits, always thinking that with his ability, there was nowhere in the three realms he couldn't go, and even went up to the sky with that monkey, wanting to overthrow the rule of gods and Buddhas.
But the result was obvious. They failed. The monkey was first locked into the Eight Trigrams Furnace to be calcined, and after escaping, he was pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, suffering five hundred years of prison.
As for him, he seemed to be safe and sound, and was even matched by Taishang Laojun, marrying the beautiful Princess Princess Tieshan, but because of this, he got a reputation for being greedy for life and afraid of death, betraying his brothers, and was ridiculed by countless demon clans.
However, the Bull Niu Niu Mowang, who had seen the power of the Heavenly Court and gods and Buddhas, could only swallow this breath, not daring to make any explanation, and from then on honestly stayed in Flaming Mountain, safely doing his part as a demon king.
Later, Red Boy was born, and the Bull Niu Niu Mowang was very happy, thinking that the rain had cleared and his family of three could live peacefully like this.
But as time passed, Red Boy gradually grew up, and the Bull Niu Niu Mowang finally discovered that Red Boy's bloodline had problems, and Princess Princess Tieshan, seeing that she couldn't hide it, told him the truth of the matter.
It turned out that Red Boy was originally the son of the Yaksha King. At the moment of his death, his essence was left behind by Taishang Laojun, later put into the Mother-Hong Haier River, and forced Princess Tieshan, this Rakshasa Princess, to drink it, borrowing her womb to give birth to a child, as a handle for the Eastern Heaven Court to hold the Lingshan in the future.
And the Bull Niu Niu Mowang was the "receiver" carefully selected by Taishang Laojun.
First, his strength was strong enough to protect Red Boy's smooth growth, and second, this could be considered a test of the Bull Niu Niu Mowang's obedience, testing whether he was truly willing to submit and be the dog under the crotch of the Heavenly Court and his Taishang Laojun.
Without a doubt, the Bull Niu Niu Mowang was certainly unwilling to suffer such humiliation, and immediately left Flaming Mountain, from then on living separately from Princess Princess Tieshan, each in peace, which to some extent was also a silent protest against Taishang Laojun.
And then...
"Recognize the master, cultivate the right fruit, only this path is left for us to walk. Doesn't the eldest brother understand yet?"
After more than five hundred years, the sworn brothers who once fought side by side could only meet with weapons.
And in that battle, his concubine, the Jade-Faced Fox, died tragically, and he himself was besieged by the strong of the Heavenly Court. His head was cut off by that Great God of the Three Altars, and finally, unwilling to submit, he was pressed to Lingshan and suppressed for a long time.
Until hundreds of years later, he was sent to besiege that monkey, and he was finally released back to Flaming Mountain.
It was also from that time that the Bull Niu Niu Mowang finally understood that he was so small. Facing the gods and Buddhas high above, he could only kneel and beg, so that he could survive and save the lives of his family.
Thinking of this, he looked at Red Boy again, his gaze even carrying a trace of begging.
"Hong Haier, give up. Even if you get that thing, you can't succeed in revenge, and in the end, you will only lose your life in vain..."
"Where there are scriptures, there is fire; where there is no fire, there are no scriptures. Knowing revenge but not reporting it, how can there be cultivation!"
Feeling the Bull Niu Niu Mowang's gaze, Red Boy closed his eyes and turned to leave.
"Fine, since you refuse to hand over that thing, then I will go find that Destiny Person. I want to see what kind of ability this pawn, carefully arranged by the gods and Buddhas, has."
After saying this, Red Boy didn't care about the sigh behind him, directly turned into a ball of flames and flew into the sky, flying towards the Fire-Burning Second Pass deep in the Ash Forest.
……
"Respectfully welcome the King!"
A moment later, Red Boy descended here, two huge heads, one emitting flames and the other emitting wild winds, shouted in unison.
They are named "Fast as Fire" and "Fast as Wind," originally two rascals who committed the crime of murder once and were sentenced to beheading. It just so happened that one of them knew the technique of dropping the head to save his life.
So after the two were beheaded, their heads flew into the sky and disappeared, from then on becoming demons, and were later met by Red Boy. Because he found it interesting, he took them under his command.
"Just like we agreed before, don't mess up for me."
Red Boy ordered, then spun around on the spot, but turned into a small yellow fox, and then used magic to control the rope, tying himself to a withered crooked-neck tree.
"Destiny Person... hehe, I want to see if you can avoid the trap that the monkey almost fell into back then."
