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

Chapter 43: Which part of the body does the golden hoop fuse with?
Xiao Chen looked around and saw that the Dragon Palace's sea treasures were indeed piled with treasures everywhere. There were countless gold, silver and other treasures, shining brightly, dazzling the beholders and making them itchy.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Chen couldn't just touch around randomly. He just took advantage of the opportunity when others weren't paying attention, used his wide sleeves as a cover, and secretly touched one or two treasures nearby.

However, Sun Wukong didn't care about these treasures at all. He immediately took a fancy to a large iron pillar in the middle of the sea treasure.

As soon as Sun Wukong arrived, he saw the huge iron pillar emitting thousands of golden lights, which was extremely magical.

"This is the acquired merit spiritual treasure, the Ruyi Jingu Bang."

Xiao Chen took a look and it seemed that it was destined that the monkey had a connection with this thing. Although time had taken a turn, the monkey was still destined to pick up the golden cudgel.

Sun Wukong walked forward, touched it, and said, "It's too thick and too long! It should be shorter and thinner before it can be used."

After he finished speaking, the treasure became several inches shorter and thinner.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed and said, "This treasure is just what I wanted."

Sun Wukong kept shouting: "The thinner the better!"

The treasure was indeed a few inches thinner. Wukong was very happy and took out the treasure to have a look. It turned out to be two golden hoops at the ends and a piece of black iron in the middle. There was a line of characters engraved next to the hoop, which called it "Ruyi Jingu Bang" and weighed 13,500 kilograms.

"Hehehe, it really is a good baby!"

Sun Wukong couldn't wait to show off his skills, so he picked up the golden cudgel and started to play with it.

This golden cudgel is indeed a magical treasure that can stabilize the sea. It is fine if it doesn’t move, but it is amazing if it moves.

The monkeys started to move around, causing the sea water to surge and undercurrent to become turbulent. The Dragon Palace was heaving up and down, and the group of people stumbled. Turtles, tortoises, and crocodiles all retracted their necks, and fish, shrimps, and crabs all hid their heads.

Seeing that the monkey was in high spirits and didn't notice these things at all, this wave almost destroyed half of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

"My East Sea Dragon Palace! My dragon sons and grandsons are still in there! Immortal, please stop fooling around, please stop fooling around!"

Ao Guang looked at his swaying East China Sea Dragon Palace and hurriedly stopped him. Many of his dragon sons and grandsons are still inside.

"If this monkey really destroys the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, then he will have completely resolved his feud with the old Dragon King. The old Dragon King will definitely file a complaint with the Emperor! And that will cause a chain reaction."

Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. Is it really true that the situation is irreversible?

“But if it is really as Master Subhuti said, the big trend cannot be reversed, but the small trend can be changed.”

"I would rather the monkey cause havoc in Heaven later. Regardless of whether the monkey can practice for another three hundred years, become stronger, and thus escape his fate."

"If we go now, we'll be suppressed for eight hundred years!"

"It is better to suppress the monkeys for three hundred years less than for three hundred years more."

"Let the monkey lose eight hundred years of freedom!"

"A full eight hundred years."

"too bitter."

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen silently put his hands behind his back, hiding them in his wide sleeves, and pinched his thumb and little finger together and snapped his fingers.

His little finger is fused with the Sea Pearl.

The Sea-Covering Pearl is the treasure of the Sea-Covering Great Saint Jiao Mowang. A Sea-Covering Pearl can absorb all the water in the North Sea, and it can also turn the water into a river on land, and it can even control the water flow in the water, turning rivers and seas upside down.

As Xiao Chen snapped his fingers, the surging sea water immediately stopped and became calm. Although some bricks and tiles fell off the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, fortunately, it was not a big deal.

The old Dragon King wiped the sweat off his forehead, thinking about how many of his dragon sons and grandsons almost died here. His body went limp and he sat down on the ground.

The Bull Demon King was closest to Xiao Chen and noticed something.

The Bull Demon King looked at Xiao Chen deeply, nodded secretly, and thought:

"I, the Bull Demon King, must recognize this good brother!"

Sun Wukong calmed down by then, took the stick in his hand, sat on the crystal palace, and said to the Dragon King with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, my good neighbor."

Ao Guang looked at the monkey holding the stick and wiped his sweat. Although he felt regretful, it was too late. He kept saying, "I dare not."

"Hehehe, Old Dragon King, it would be fine if you didn't give me this stick. Now that you give it to me, my clothes will look low-class when I hold the golden cudgel in my hand."

"As the saying goes, one thing should not be handled by two masters, so why don't you find me another set of armor?"

At this time, Sun Wukong pulled the old Dragon King to ask for armor, and pulled the old Dragon King left and right, forcing the old Dragon King to give him a set of armor.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Chen's mouth twitched, and he also felt a headache for the old Dragon King, and sighed:

"How unfortunate it is for the old Dragon King to have such an evil neighbor like Monkey Brother."

"Wait a moment, Immortal. My brothers are Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea, Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, and Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea. I want to see if they have it."

After saying this, the old Dragon King sent the Crocodile General to ring the bell, and the Turtle General to beat the drum.

Monkey King was happily sitting on the Dragon King's throne, holding the golden cudgel, waiting for the old Dragon King to bring him his armor.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen walked over with a smile and said:

"Monkey, let me see your new weapon."

Sun Wukong had just acquired a good weapon, and he wanted to show off. He was very happy, and handed the golden cudgel to Xiao Chen, saying with a smile:
"Toad, take a look at my golden hoop stick, how does it compare to your painted halberd?"

Xiao Chen took the golden cudgel and looked at it carefully for more than ten breaths.

"Host, I have touched the B-level attack magic weapon, the Ruyi Jingu Bang. This weapon is extremely hard, can be big or small, long or short, and has countless changes."

"And the Ruyi Jingu Bang can change as one wishes. It can become anything, such as a drill, a hook, a brush, a mace..."

Suddenly, a familiar prompt sound was heard, and several lines of golden characters appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.

"Scan and copy?"

"Copy! Copy! Copy quickly!"

Faced with the long-coveted golden hoop, Xiao Chen couldn't wait to give the order.

But then he was faced with another problem?
"Which part should be fused with the golden hoop?"

“It’s definitely a problem.”

"What part is it that is integrated? What part is it?"

"In the future, I can make that place extremely hard, and it can be large or small, long or short, and change into a myriad of shapes as I wish?"

Xiao Chen swallowed hard. It was such an irresistible temptation!
How should he choose?

Xiao dared to say that this ability of integrating the golden hoop stick would undoubtedly make male Taoist friends excited and female Taoist friends cry. It was an ability that every Taoist friend in the future wanted.

"After all, all fear in life comes from insufficient firepower."

"But with the golden cudgel, all this will be solved easily."

"Male Taoist friends will stand up straight, and female Taoist friends will enjoy happiness."

"Forget it, we are a proper monster after all."

"When you meet an opponent, you can't just hit him with that!"

"Female goblins and fairies can be severely whipped with the golden hoop."

"But if you fight with male fairies or male gods, this, whipping them, is... not appropriate."

So, Xiao Chen gave the order: "Fuse the right index finger!"

After a few breaths, Xiao Chen felt a warm current flowing through his right index finger, and his right index finger had undergone a miraculous change.

"After I transform my finger into the golden hoop, I can probably kill a celestial being with just a flick of my head."

Xiao Chen thought secretly.

"However, I will move there when I need that in the future!"

Xiao Chen handed the golden cudgel to Sun Wukong with a smile and said:

"Monkey, I weighed it and found that your golden cudgel is definitely stronger!"

"Hehehe, I, Old Sun, think so too!"

Sun Wukong took the golden cudgel with a smile.

But it is said that Ao Guang hit the golden bell.

The other three sea dragon kings heard the sound and came over and joined together.

Ao Guang explained the situation.

"My three brothers, do you have any armor? Just give him a set and send him out."

Ao Qin was furious when he heard this: "Brothers, raise the troops and capture him!"

Ao Guang shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "They also have three Taiyi people. If they come together, my dragon clan can't afford to waste time."

"Three Taiyi Golden Immortals?"

The three sea dragon kings looked at each other, their fighting spirit somewhat dissipated. If it was just one Taiyi Golden Immortal, although his dragon clan was weak, they could afford to offend him, but if it was three? That would be a big trouble.

So, the Dragon King of the North Sea took a pair of lotus silk cloud-walking shoes, the Dragon King of the West Sea took a chain mail golden armor, and the Dragon King of the South Sea took a phoenix-wing purple gold crown, and carried them into the Amethyst Palace.

Sun Wukong was neatly dressed, extremely handsome and powerful.

Everyone present praised him: "What a handsome Monkey King!"

Only Xiao Chen was a little nervous.

The original novel records that Sun Wukong was so proud that he put on his clothes, took the golden hoop, and fought all the way out, and even cursed at the dragon kings: "Noisy, noisy!"

The four dragon kings treated Sun Wukong with courtesy, but they did not expect that Sun Wukong first snatched weapons and armor, then smashed the Dragon Palace, then fought his way out, and insulted the dragon kings. This was indeed a bit unfair.

This made the four dragon kings indignant, and they went to the Heavenly Palace to file a complaint, which triggered a series of consequences.

"We can't let Monkey King suppress us for eight hundred years!"

"do my best!"

"Try it!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen stood up and came to the old Dragon King. He didn't care whether the old Dragon King looked down on him or not. He bowed his head and saluted, saying respectfully:

"Today, the little demon Jinjiao borrowed the treasure of the Dragon King. I am very grateful. I will write a note of loan. If you do not violate morality in the future! I will repay you for what I can do!"

After that, Xiao Chen took out a piece of paper and pen from the storage space in his mouth and wrote:
"Today, there is a monster called Golden Horn. I would like to borrow a painted halberd from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. I will repay you one day! Heaven and earth shall be my witness."

"this,……"

When Sun Wukong saw this scene, he scratched his head.

According to his current temperament, he originally wanted to just rob and run away. Now thinking about it, he felt that he was a bit unfair.

So, Sun Wukong took Xiao Chen's paper and pen and wrote:

"Today, the Monkey King of the Flower-Fruit Mountain would like to borrow the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, the Buyu Shoes from the North China Sea, the Golden Armor from the West China Sea, and the Purple Gold Crown from the South China Sea. I will repay you one day! Heaven and earth shall be my witness."

The Bull Demon King and the Lion King looked at each other and felt it would be a shame to just take the things and leave, as this would lose face as the great demon kings. So, they each swore an oath and signed a promissory note.

Ao Guang and other four sea dragon kings looked at the document, took a glance at it, and understood each other's meaning, and discussed with each other in secret.

Firstly, the dragon clan is now weak and is often bullied and feels very helpless.

A naughty child dared to pull out the dragon's tendons and skin him, but the four Dragon Kings could do nothing about it.

Even some immortals and Buddhas are enslaving the descendants of dragons, and they can only surrender and dare not say a word, because they are not strong enough.

Right now, accumulating favors from the three Taiyi Golden Immortals is already a great help to the current Dragon Clan. It can intimidate most of the forces, which is something that cannot be exchanged for any number of treasures.

Secondly, they have signed a promissory note, which is proof. It is indeed a loan, not a robbery, and they have not said they will not pay it back.

"Borrowing" and "robbing" are completely different in nature.

After secretly thinking it over, the Four Dragon Kings gave up their desire for revenge. Instead, they held a grand banquet to entertain the four demons and make friends with them. There was a joyful atmosphere at the scene.

"so far so good!"

Look at this monkey and old Dragon King toasting each other, they both look very happy.

Xiao Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed:
“It was dangerous!”

"It's so difficult! Brother Monkey!"

The monkey is now like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins and no one can control it.
