Chapter 161: The Strangeness of Chechi Kingdom

After seeing the performance of the little bull demon and Red Boy, Pan Huang already had the answer in his heart. It was hard to say, but this Red Boy really might not be the Bull Demon King's child.

Soon, Red Boy arrived at the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, Red Boy saw a residence. The plaque of the residence had the three big characters "Golden Helmet Cave" written on it. This name was truly out of place with this residence!

Pushing open the gate of the residence, it was not the courtyard that Changxi and Xihe imagined, but a deep cave, which made the two of them very uncomfortable.

There were shadows moving at the end of the cave. It should be the demons in the cave. Red Boy walked to the end of the cave, and all the small demons turned their heads to look at him in unison, as did the demon sitting in the top seat.

The demon sitting in the top seat had a green face and fangs, his skin was cyan-black, and a black single horn stood on his forehead. This single horn was still flashing with cold light. This demon was the Demon King of the Golden Helmet Cave, the Great King Single-Horned Rhino.

"Why come to this King's place?" Seeing Red Boy, the Single-Horned Rhino's brow frowned.

"Came to you for refuge." Red Boy sat on a stone table on the side, and a small demon with good insight immediately served wine and food.

"Refuge? What refuge? Even for refuge, you shouldn't come to this King's place. You should go to Cuiyun Mountain." The Single-Horned Rhino said coldly.

"Rest assured, no one followed." Red Boy knew what the Single-Horned Rhino was worried about and said with a smile.

"You're probably not just here for refuge, right?" The Single-Horned Rhino suddenly said.

"Sometimes being too smart is not a good thing." Red Boy looked at the Single-Horned Rhino with a smile, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

But the next second, Red Boy knelt directly on the ground, and the Single-Horned Rhino stood up and walked to his side step by step.

"Who do you think you are? Daring to speak to this King like this. This King has followed the Old Master since before he became a Saint. You are just a chess piece of the Old Master. As a chess piece, you must have the awareness of a chess piece, understand? Even if this King kills you now, the Old Master would at most just scold this King a few words. Don't look at yourself too highly." The Single-Horned Rhino looked down at Red Boy and said coldly.

"Come, take him down. If he wants to leave, there is no need to stop him." The Single-Horned Rhino took a deep look at Red Boy, and then sat back in his original position to pretend to sleep.

Red Boy's expression was somewhat gloomy, but he didn't dare to say anything, because this Single-Horned Rhino might really kill him.

"The scripture-seeker will arrive in a few days. I hope you can remember your mission." Red Boy looked at the Single-Horned Rhino and said, then followed the small demon and left.

After Red Boy left, the Single-Horned Rhino looked in his direction, and a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Just a container. After the time is ripe, you won't have any need to exist."

"However, he did remind this King. The scripture-seeker will arrive in a few days. This King must plan properly, otherwise, it's really possible to capsize in the gutter. Let's have a good chat with this Red Boy in two days." The Single-Horned Rhino said again.

After saying this, he touched the closed ring on his nose, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a small arc.

"It seems this Red Boy is not that important in Taishang Laojun's heart. I thought he had a very important status in Taishang Laojun's heart. After all, this is his own bloodline." Seeing the Single-Horned Rhino's attitude toward Red Boy, Changxi said.

"Taishang Laojun is, after all, a Saint's avatar. In his eyes, nothing is more important than fortune and strength. Bloodline? Just a chess piece. If it can bring him benefits, it can be discarded at any time." Pan Huang said with a smile.

"Let's stop here today. There shouldn't be anything to see with Red Boy, and there shouldn't be anything to see with Xuanzang and the others. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Pan Huang said again, and then canceled the water mirror.

Speaking of Demon King Jiao, after he parted with Red Boy, he headed straight for the Accumulating Thunder Mountain, Cloud-Touching Cave. After arriving at the Accumulating Thunder Mountain, Cloud-Touching Cave, he found the Bull Demon King.

"Second Brother, come, come, come. You have a treat today. I got some good wine. Let's have a good drink." Seeing Demon King Jiao, the Bull Demon King didn't feel any surprise. He didn't even ask what Demon King Jiao came here for.

"Red Boy came to the Black Water River to find me." After drinking a bowl of wine, Demon King Jiao said.

Upon hearing the three words "Red Boy," the Bull Demon King's hand paused for a moment, and an unnatural expression appeared on his face, but then it returned to normal.

"What did he come to find you for?"

"Asked me for help, to block the scripture-seeker." Demon King Jiao sighed.

"So the injury on your body was caused by the scripture-seeker?" The Bull Demon King looked at Demon King Jiao and asked.

"Hmm! Mainly because Red Boy said that the scripture-seeker's flesh and blood can allow bloodline transformation." Demon King Jiao nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"And then?" The Bull Demon King poured a cup of wine for Demon King Jiao, and then asked casually.

"Don't know. Had a big battle with the scripture-seeker, failed, and then he and I parted ways. He likely went to Cuiyun Mountain." Demon King Jiao said.

"Don't mention him. Let's drink, drink." At this time, the Bull Demon King said with a smile.

"Okay!" Demon King Jiao nodded.

He could see that the Bull Demon King was very cold toward Red Boy, and Red Boy was also very cold toward the Bull Demon King, even somewhat disgusted.

All of this was likely related to the Bull Demon King. At least Demon King Jiao thought so, because this Accumulating Thunder Mountain, Cloud-Touching Cave was actually not the Bull Demon King's cave. The owner of this cave was called Jade-Faced Fox, the Bull Demon King's concubine.

Since the Bull Demon King hooked up with this Jade-Faced Fox, he hadn't returned to Cuiyun Mountain even once. This was probably why Red Boy was cold to him, and he was cold to Red Boy, Demon King Jiao muttered in his heart.

However, this was the Bull Demon King's family affair, so he couldn't say anything.

"Big Brother, can the scripture-seeker's flesh and blood really allow bloodline transformation?" Demon King Jiao asked.

"Asking this is not as practical as hunting a true dragon and changing your blood. Regardless of whether it's true or not, you can't touch the scripture-seeker. Dismiss this thought as soon as possible." The Bull Demon King saw Demon King Jiao's intention and said.

"Then Red Boy, he?" Demon King Jiao asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Let him be." The Bull Demon King's brow frowned, and then he said with an indifferent expression.

"You stay here and heal your injuries first. Don't think about other things. In these two days, I will call the other brothers as well, and let's have a good gathering." The Bull Demon King said again.

"Okay!" Demon King Jiao nodded, and then went to rest under the guidance of the small demons.

"Perhaps I can contact the scripture-seeker. Hmph! This King will not let you have a good time." After Demon King Jiao left, the Bull Demon King muttered to himself.

If Pan Huang and the others had observed the Bull Demon King with the water mirror just now, they would definitely have been able to see this scene.

On Xuanzang's side, after coming out of the Black Water River, they arrived at the Chechi Kingdom. After arriving at the Chechi Kingdom, they discovered an interesting phenomenon: this Chechi Kingdom actually excluded Buddhism. Here, the Daoist sect was the only one in power, and monks were reduced to coolies.

Seeing this, Xuanzang revealed a smile. The next second, Xuanzang transformed into a wealthy young master. Since Buddhism was excluded here, it was still necessary to respect the customs here.

But what they didn't know was that the moment they entered the Chechi Kingdom, they were monitored. This person was none other than the three National Preceptors of the Chechi Kingdom.

"Is this the scripture-seeker?" Deer-Power Great Immortal looked at Xuanzang, who was dressed as a wealthy young master in the mirror, and said.

"Their strength is somewhat strong. I'm afraid they are somewhat difficult to deal with." Goat-Power Great Immortal also spoke at this time.

"What's difficult to deal with? We don't need to deal with them either. Although we are demons, we are truly helping the Chechi Kingdom. We haven't harmed the life of any citizen of the Chechi Kingdom, and even because of our existence, the national strength of the Chechi Kingdom has been improved. If we must say we have any faults, it's those monks. But we haven't killed them either, so we simply don't need to worry." Tiger-Power Great Immortal looked at the two beside him and said.

"Right, after they enter the capital, just pretend they don't exist. Let the King stamp their customs clearance document, and then let them leave. They do their things, and we do our things." Tiger-Power Great Immortal said again.

"Yes!" The two of them nodded, and then began to make arrangements.

Outside the capital of the Chechi Kingdom, Xuanzang let everyone settle down first, and he and Yang Jian and the others entered the capital to find the King to stamp their customs clearance document.

After entering the capital, the phenomenon of excluding Buddhism was even more obvious. Bald monks could be seen everywhere on the streets of the city. Most of them looked at the front with dull eyes, and passersby all showed disdainful expressions toward them. Some others had firm eyes; they sat on the side of the road, closed their eyes, and were still chanting scriptures in their mouths.

Xuanzang didn't feel surprised at all. After all, he himself didn't have any good feelings toward Spirit Mountain, and by extension, he naturally wouldn't have any good feelings toward all monks.

But Yang Jian and Dapeng frowned, because they felt something was a bit wrong. Those chanting scriptures could still be explained, but those monks with dull eyes definitely had problems.

"What is your situation?" Thinking of this, Dapeng and Yang Jian came to one of the monks.

That monk looked at Yang Jian and the others after raising his head, then continued to look at the front with dull eyes, until Yang Jian took out food, only then did the monk's eyes have a trace of spirit.

"We are monks from a nearby temple. Because the King doesn't like monks, he pushed down our temple and doesn't allow us to go back." That monk ate some food and finally recovered his spirit.

"Then why don't you return to secular life?" Xuanzang walked over and asked at this moment.

"Because the National Preceptor doesn't allow it. The National Preceptor said that since we became monks, we have a mark on our bodies, so we can only be slaves for them. We must serve for ten years before we are allowed to return to secular life." When the monk said this, there was no ripple in his eyes. It seemed he was already numb.

"There is a problem. This Chechi Kingdom has a problem." Yang Jian looked at Dapeng and Xuanzang and said.

"But this Chechi Kingdom, except for these monks, the other citizens live and work in peace and contentment!" Xuanzang looked at the surrounding citizens and said.

"Let's go to the Royal Palace first." Dapeng spoke at this moment.

Arriving at the Royal Palace, Xuanzang and the others met the King of the Chechi Kingdom. This King heard that Xuanzang and the others were scripture-seekers, and without a word, he stamped their customs clearance document, and then told them you can go.

Xuanzang didn't feel anything, but Yang Jian and Dapeng felt that this King was somewhat too anxious, which gave them a feeling that the King was driving people away.

"King, we want to ask what is going on with those monks in the city?" Yang Jian finally couldn't hold back and said his question.

"The monks in the city are just as you see. This King doesn't like Buddhism. This King doesn't allow Spirit Mountain to preach in my Chechi Kingdom, and this King doesn't allow monks to appear in my Chechi Kingdom. And my Chechi Kingdom is currently very short of slaves, so they became slaves. This is this King's own business, it should have nothing to do with you, right?" The King of the Chechi Kingdom looked at Yang Jian and said.

"Farewell!" Yang Jian still wanted to say something, but Xuanzang spoke first, and then took Dapeng and Yang Jian out of the Royal Palace.

"This King of the Chechi Kingdom has a problem. He has a big problem." After walking out of the Royal Palace, Yang Jian was still saying.

"So what?" Dapeng looked at Yang Jian and asked.

Hearing Dapeng's words, Yang Jian stood stunned on the spot. That's right, so what if he has a problem? This is someone else's own business. People want to believe in whatever they want to believe in, and it seems to have nothing to do with him.

"Let's go, let's go back to the camp first. If you want to investigate the affairs in this Chechi Kingdom, then let's rest here for a few days." Xuanzang looked at Yang Jian and said.

"Okay!" Yang Jian nodded.

Dapeng actually didn't have any interest in this. He could see that this King hadn't been bewitched, nor had he been swapped, and even the national strength of the Chechi Kingdom was very strong, and the fortune was also very strong. Perhaps they really had problems, but Dapeng didn't want to manage it.

The human race had its own way of survival. As long as it wasn't coercion or any other artificial interference, Dapeng felt there was no need to interfere with the normal life of the human race.

Perhaps Yang Jian had lived among the human race before. In his view, all things unfavorable to the human race should be prohibited.

It only took half a day for Yang Jian to figure out the situation of the Chechi Kingdom.

"This Chechi Kingdom has three demons, and those monks in the city are their masterpieces." Yang Jian said to the crowd.

"And then? What do you plan to do?" Dapeng looked at Yang Jian and asked.

"Of course, it's to help the Chechi Kingdom return to its previous appearance!" Yang Jian said without thinking.

"But how do you know that the previous Chechi Kingdom was better than it is now?" Ao Mo'ang looked at Yang Jian and asked.

"Yang Jian, you are somewhat self-righteous." Princess Long Ji followed up and said.

"What do you mean by this?" Yang Jian's brow frowned.

"The human race has its own way of operating. As long as it's not an artificial factor, we don't need to ask about other people's private affairs." Dapeng looked at Yang Jian and said.

"This is still not an artificial factor? Then what is an artificial factor?" Yang Jian was somewhat puzzled. This was the first time everyone had a disagreement.

"The previous countries, their Kings were more or less coerced or bewitched, but the situation in this Chechi Kingdom is different from the previous countries."

"But what I see is that my human race people are suffering persecution." Yang Jian still didn't back down.

"Then go and do what you think is right." Princess Long Ji said this.

After this sentence was said, everyone stopped talking. They just looked at Yang Jian quietly, and then turned and left.
