Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 375: Lingshan's Oil Case

Six hundred miles of Kanyuan Mountain.

In a pavilion on the mountainside.

"I am Huang Feng..."

The Great Sage Huang Feng was talking incessantly about his love fantasies and career declarations.

He held a three-pronged steel fork in his hand, stroking a large kebab of mountain cat meat. The fat dripped onto the fire, making a sizzling sound. He squinted his eyes, completely immersed in his own world.

The words of the Great Sage Huang Feng were full of praise for the "golden-nosed white-haired rat spirit" Bai Su Su. In his eyes, Bai Su Su had become an indispensable part of his life and the most perfect existence in his heart.

However, just as the Great Sage Huangfeng was immersed in his own fantasy, a breeze blew by, and two figures suddenly appeared in the pavilion.

Xiao Chen appeared in a golden royal robe.

Xiao Chen was accompanied by a beautiful woman, who was the Halloween Dragon Girl.

General Tiegu was delighted to see Xiao Chen coming back.

He quickly dropped the barbecue in his hand. The barbecue was still steaming and emitting an enticing aroma, but he could no longer care about that at the moment.

General Tiegu bowed to the ground and said respectfully:
"Iron Bone greets the King."

Xiao Chen glanced at Tiegu, his eyes revealing admiration and affirmation for Tiegu.

Xiao Chen smiled and said:
"Tiegu, your cultivation has improved a lot over the years."

"Nothing has ever happened at Kanyuan Mountain."

“It lived up to my expectations.”

General Tiegu replied respectfully:

"It all depends on the great fortune of the king."

"I have always remembered the king's teachings and practiced hard, hoping to help the king solve his problems."

He knew that his aptitude was average, that he was just an "ordinary person", and that his current level of cultivation was largely due to the cultivation and guidance of the king.

At this time, Great Sage Huangfeng also noticed the arrival of Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng.

He was originally immersed in his own world and was drunk, but at this moment he sobered up instantly.

The old face of the Great Sage Huang Feng turned red, and he muttered to himself:
"They won't hear my drunken words, will they?"

Thinking of this, Great Sage Huang Feng bowed somewhat embarrassedly and said:
"Huang Feng greets the Lord."

Xiao Chen looked at the Great Sage Huang Feng and said with a teasing smile:

"The mistress is too fierce, has a bad temper, and is difficult to get along with..."

"You have no choice but to be inferior to others?"

His words were full of sarcasm, and he was obviously making fun of the drunken words that the Great Sage Huang Feng had said before.

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Huang Feng sobered up instantly.

He was startled and hurriedly dropped the three-pronged steel fork in his hand. The steel fork fell to the ground with a "clang" and made a crisp sound.

The Great Sage Huang Feng prostrated himself on the ground and said cautiously:
"Huang Feng dare not, Huang Feng dare not."

"My lord is brave and invincible, and he treats me well."

"The mistress is gentle, virtuous, and generous."

"I am so lucky to be able to follow my master and mistress!"

"Whoever dares to have second thoughts in Kanyuan Mountain, I, Huang Feng, will be the first to kill him!"

"To prove the loyalty of my subordinates!"

There was a hint of trembling and fear in the voice of Great Sage Huang Feng, fearing that Xiao Chen might have misunderstood his meaning.

Xiao Chen glanced at the Great Sage Huang Feng and knew that he was just a little mouse spirit who loved to dream, so he didn't take him too seriously.

He smiled and said:
"Huang Feng, get up."

"I came here specifically to find you."

"My king, I have something that I need your help with."

"This matter belongs to you!"

Upon hearing this, Great Sage Huangfeng felt somewhat confused, wondering what instructions King Jinjiao had for him.

But the Great Sage Huang Feng quickly stood up and said solemnly:
"Whatever you want, Your Majesty, please tell me."

"I, Huang Feng, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Xiao Chen instructed the Great Sage Huang Feng:

"Huang Feng, please go into the palace and discuss in detail."

Afterwards, Xiao Chen glanced at the Halloween Dragon Girl next to him and said to her:

"Ao Yao, please wait here for a moment. I have some things to take care of."

"General Tiegu will take you to the reception room. You can rest for a while."

"You can also enjoy the scenery of my Kanyuan Mountain."

The Halloween Dragon Girl nodded and responded:
"Okay, King Golden Horn."

"Just arrange it."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and she had a faint smile on her face, making her look gentle and generous.

Xiao Chen instructed General Tiegu:

"This girl is my friend."

"Take him to the reception room and tell the servants to serve him tea and wait on him properly. Do not be negligent in showing him any disrespect."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"I will make proper arrangements."

General Tiegu responded respectfully.

General Tiegu took a look at the Halloween Dragon Girl. He thought that her skeleton had turned into a spirit, and that thing had already rotted away.

Although he was not interested in women, the woman in front of him made him feel an indescribable sense of amazement.

The face of the Halloween Dragon Girl in front of him was extremely beautiful, her eyebrows were like distant mountains with smoke, her eyes were like clear autumn water, her nose was straight and delicate, and her lips were as red as cherries. Every detail was just right, as if carved by nature, and she could be described as "a face as beautiful as a flower and the moon".

Her temperament is elegant and outstanding. She has both a charming and seductive side and a dignified and generous side. She is like a peerless fairy walking out of a painting. She is truly a rare beauty.

"This woman is truly enchantingly beautiful, a peerless beauty."

General Tiegu secretly admired in his heart.

However, since this was the woman brought back by the king, he naturally did not dare to have the slightest desire for her and could only admire her from afar.

"Girl, please."

General Tiegu made a gesture of invitation to the Halloween Dragon Girl, indicating that she should follow him to the reception room.

"Thank you, General."

The Halloween Dragon Girl smiled and nodded, then followed General Tiegu away.

Along the way, General Tiegu carefully introduced the scenery and features of the cave to her, and treated her very attentively, showing his host's friendship.

Xiao Chen took the Great Sage Huang Feng through the winding corridor and came to a secret room in the Golden Horn Cave.

This secret room is arranged in an extremely secretive manner, and is surrounded by soundproof barriers to isolate all noise from the outside world and ensure that the conversation inside will never be leaked.

Inside the secret room, the candlelight flickered, and the dim light sprinkled on the faces of the two demons, adding a touch of mystery.

Xiao Chen and Great Sage Huang Feng sat opposite each other.

"Huang Feng, how did you steal the oil from the Lingshan Glazed Lamp back then?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

Xiao Chen didn’t care much about this matter before, but now he is about to go to heaven to steal treasures.

Xiao Chen was quite interested in the "Lingshan Clean Oil Theft Case" of that year.

As a holy place of Buddhism, it is undoubted that Lingshan is heavily guarded.

The gods and Buddhas who live in Lingshan include the Eight Vajra, the Three Thousand Jie Di Dharma Protectors, the Eighteen Arhats, the Five Hundred Arhats, the Dharma Protectors in front of the Buddha, the Celestial Beings, the Asuras, the Garudas, the Kinnaras and other Heavenly Dragons, various mythical beasts, the Venerables, the Bodhisattvas, the Buddhas...

There are many big guys in Lingshan, so the guarding force is naturally very strong, almost as strong as that of Heaven.

It is amazing in itself that the Great Sage Huangfeng was able to steal the clear oil from the glass lamp from under such strict guard.

The Great Sage Huangfeng must also have some extraordinary ways and methods.

Xiao Chen felt that the Great Sage Huang Feng might be able to provide him with some good ideas and thoughts for his upcoming plan of "stealing the immortal herbs from heaven".

“Hehehe…” The Great Sage Huangfeng chuckled, and that smile was full of reminiscing about the glorious past, as if he was quite proud of that past event.

Hearing Xiao Chen's curious question, he became even more interested. He pinched his long rat whiskers, shook his head and spoke:

"Hehehe, that's it..."

"That was a great show back then!"

"I don't know what went wrong with Yang Jian. He suddenly raised his three-pointed, double-edged sword and rushed to Lingshan with murderous intent."

"That scene, wow, tsk tsk, you may not have seen it, my Lord. It was so lively and exciting, even more exciting than a big opera!"

"At that time, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, the Tiger-Subduing Arhat, the Deer-Sitting Arhat, the Long-Eyebrowed Arhat... and the Eighteen Arhats, these masters of Buddhism, plus the five hundred Arhats of Lingshan, all rushed to surround Yang Jian."

"Then Yang Jian is indeed very powerful."

"He killed the Subduing Tiger Arhat with one blow of his sword, and all the Eighteen Arhats were knocked to the ground by him. Later, the Five Hundred Arhats were also chopped to pieces by him."

"That's so miserable!"

At this point, a trace of awe flashed in the eyes of the Great Sage Huangfeng, and he was obviously deeply impressed by Yang Jian's amazing strength.

He secretly thought in his heart, if he had such power, he would be able to fight his way up to Lingshan Mountain and take back the golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon as his wife!

"Later, the five guardian gods, including the Golden-headed Jieti, the Silver-headed Jieti, and the Mahajadi, led the three thousand Jieti guardian gods of Buddhism to stop Yang Jian."

"That scene, hahahaha, was simply earth-shattering and the entire Lingshan Mountain was about to be split apart by their fighting skills."

"I was so scared that I almost peed my pants."

When the Great Sage Huangfeng said this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if he was back to that thrilling moment.

The Great Sage Huang Feng continued:

"Finally, the eight Vajra guarding the various Buddhist temples and treasure houses in Lingshan, as well as the guardians in front of the Buddha, such as Jin Zha and others, also went to besiege Yang Jian."

"There were a lot of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas watching near the battle group. They all ran over to watch the excitement, just like watching a big show."

The Great Sage Huang Feng smiled until his eyes almost narrowed into slits, and continued:

"In short, Yang Jian caused a big disturbance in Lingshan, and Lingshan was in chaos. Almost all the elite forces and Buddhist soldiers were transferred to surround Yang Jian."

"The guards of the various Buddhist temples and treasuries became lax."

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, and he said:

"So you took advantage of this chaos to steal the Liuli lamp oil?"

"Hahaha, that's right."

The Great Sage Huang Feng raised his head proudly and began to laugh, as if his wit and bravery at that time were the proudest things in his life.

Subsequently.

The Great Sage Huang Feng began to explain his theft process:
"I am a mouse who has attained enlightenment at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. I am considered a 'local mouse' of Lingshan Mountain. I have been wandering around Lingshan Mountain for many years."

"I am quite familiar with Lingshan. I know where every blade of grass and every tree is."

"I've been eyeing the clear oil from the glass lamp for a long time. I've always been itching to find a chance to get some to try."

"Plus, those guards didn't take much precautions against me."

At this point, the Great Sage Huang Feng laughed at himself:
"After all, I am just an insignificant little mouse in Lingshan. Who would take me seriously?"

"No one noticed me, a little rat."

"Those guards didn't even look at me."

"Who would have thought that a timid little mouse like me would suddenly become so brave?"

As the Great Sage Huang Feng spoke, he pinched his long rat whiskers, a sly look flashing in his eyes:
"I took advantage of this chaos to think about how to send Bai Su Su something good."

"Bai Su Su's life in Lingshan was so miserable. She was thinking about improving her strength day and night so that she could escape from that devil's cave as soon as possible."

"I felt sorry for her, so I decided to steal some of the oil from Liulizhan to nourish her."

"The clear oil in the glass lamp is a good thing. It can enhance the power of the demon and has no side effects. It is perfect for Bai Su Su."

"Those Buddhist soldiers on guard were already very busy because of Yang Jian's disturbance at Lingshan Mountain, and there are not many left."

"When they take turns on duty, that's when the defense is most lax."

"I took advantage of their unpreparedness and acted quickly. I turned into a gust of wind and quickly slipped into the glazed tower next to the Eight Treasures Merit Pond!"

The Great Sage Huang Feng described the story vividly, as if he had returned to that thrilling moment:
"I was in the Glazed Tower, and it was easy for me to steal a large amount of Glazed Lamp Oil."

"That clear oil is a treasure of Buddhism. For Bai Su Su and me, it is simply nectar from heaven!"

At this point, the smugness on his face became even more pronounced:
"It is because of that glass lamp oil that I was able to break through and my Samadhi Divine Wind became even more powerful!"

"At that time, Yang Jian was still making a big fuss in Lingshan. He had just killed Jin Zha and then went to kill Dingguang Happy Buddha."

The Great Sage Huang Feng continued:

"The whole Lingshan Mountain was in chaos. They all went to watch Yang Jian chop down the Buddha. It was a lively scene."

The Great Sage Huang Feng smiled until his eyes almost narrowed into slits, and said with a smile:
"No one noticed me, a little rat."

"I took advantage of the chaos and ran to Bai Su Su quietly like a gust of wind and gave her the oil."

"Help her to increase her strength."

"When Bai Su Su saw me coming and the oil in my hand, her eyes were full of gratitude and surprise."

“I knew I did the right thing!”

When Great Sage Huang Feng said this, his tone became even more passionate, and the firmness in his eyes was as unshakable as a rock:
"I, the Great Sage Huang Feng, want to help the one I love, no matter how great the price!"

"I know that my actions will make Lingshan want me. Once I am caught, the consequences will be disastrous. I will be severely tortured and my life will be worse than death."

"But I, Huang Feng, will never regret it!"

The Great Sage Huang Feng waved his claws, as if recreating the heroic moment at that moment:

"If I had to do it again, I would still do it without hesitation!"

"I helped Bai Susu, making her stronger and giving her hope."

"This is what I, the Great Sage Huang Feng, am responsible for. This is what I, the Great Sage Huang Feng, must do!"

Having said this, the eyes of the Great Sage Huang Feng were full of pride and satisfaction.

It’s like going back to that time.

Him at that moment.

He, a male rat spirit, really turned into an omnipotent breeze, shuttling between the heavy guards of Lingshan Mountain, just to send his beloved female rat spirit that warm care.

"After delivering the clear oil to Bai Susu, I ran out quickly."

"I, Huang Feng, am responsible for my own actions!"

"I don't want to implicate Bai Susu!"

"If I'm wanted by Lingshan, then I'm wanted. If I'm caught, then I'm caught. I don't care!"

"Anyway, I feel very happy in my heart."

"Because I know she will like it."

The Yellow Wind Monster pinched his long rat whiskers and told the story vividly, his pride evident in his expression.

When the Great Sage Huang Feng said this, he couldn't help but puff out his chest, unable to conceal his pride and satisfaction.

After all, not everyone has the courage to steal things in Lingshan.

But Huang Feng has it!

And he succeeded.

He showed his bravery and wisdom in front of his favorite female mouse spirit, letting her see his courage and wisdom.

This is undoubtedly his greatest pride and satisfaction, and also the most boastful achievement in his life.

Of course he was proud.

Of course, he, the Great Sage Huangfeng, has the right to be proud.

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded thoughtfully, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.

The incident of the Great Sage Huangfeng stealing the oil from the glass lamp at Lingshan gradually became clear in his mind.

Yang Jian went up to Lingshan with a knife, and Lingshan was in chaos. The defenses were unprepared, and the Great Sage Huangfeng was a local rat in Lingshan, and he suddenly had evil intentions, so others were not prepared for him.

This allowed the Great Sage Huang Feng to succeed.
