Let you conquer the world of low-level martial arts, what the hell is Journey to the West?

Chapter 28: Monkey King: At That Year, I Was Standing Like an Ant…

As many senior brothers talked about it, Zhang Tian became more and more frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Although these brothers are just practitioners in the mountains, many things they say are just hearsay, just like the various outrageous rumors in previous lives. They can be listened to for fun and should not be taken seriously.

But every sentence undoubtedly reveals the horror of the world of Journey to the West. Demons are everywhere, and mortals are like ants. They are just blood food in the mouths of those demons. When they are ferocious, they will just open their mouths and swallow a city in one bite!
It was totally different from the extremely peaceful world in Zhang Tian’s memory, which was protected by countless ghost gods, city gods, and mountain gods. It was referring to the prosperous Zhenguan period, when there was hardly any monster to be seen in the entire Tang Dynasty.

When Tang Monk traveled west, he was full of confidence at first. He did not believe in any demons or monsters. After all, he had never seen or heard of any in his life for more than twenty years until he left the border of the Tang Dynasty.

This was the first monster he encountered, which frightened him so much that it ate his two followers alive in front of him.

Tang Monk was so frightened that his soul left his seven orifices and he almost met the King of Hell on the spot.

It can be seen that there are no monsters in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the human dynasty! At least as a high-level monk, Tang Seng has never been involved in any demon-killing and demon-exorcism matters. This is obviously unreasonable in a world of monsters and ghosts.

And if you look closely, the first monster that Tang Seng encountered was not actually a monster from the Tang Dynasty, or even a monster around the Tang Dynasty. It was just that there was a hunter in the mountain where the monster appeared. He had been hunting nearby for generations and had lived there for at least three generations or at least a hundred years.

hunt.

A monster who rules the mountain.

Three generations lived for a hundred years, and every time they went up the mountain to hunt, they were never killed by the monster!

It can be seen that the other party is not a local monster, but a temporary worker.

Therefore, there were some errors in Zhang Tian’s previous concept. He thought that although the territory of the human world was not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty in later generations, at least it could stabilize the territory and avoid the invasion of demons.

When he entered the reincarnation space, he was even a little hesitant. He wanted to enter the human territory and seek immortals and live a safe life there.

But Zhang Tian thought about it over and over again.

I can’t imagine that there are any famous immortal cultivation sects in the human race’s territory. Even if there are, it would probably be difficult to enter.

So he made up his mind to give it a try and turn his bicycle into a motorcycle. He also wanted to gain the upper hand, so he chose to be born near Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, which gave him the opportunity today.

But as his fellow brothers spoke, Zhang Tian's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know how many times he felt relieved, because the world now was very different from what he remembered.

When Tathagata Buddha decided to travel to the West to spread Mahayana Buddhism, he said to the Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat sitting there, "The world is divided into four continents. The Eastern Continent is a continent that respects heaven and earth. The Northern Continent is a land of monsters. Monsters like to kill, but it is understandable that they do so in order to fill their stomachs and make a living."

"Xiniuhezhou, where Lingshan is located, is a place where there is no greed or killing, and everyone lives a long life. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats often go down the mountain to do good deeds and accumulate merits. It is very peaceful."

"Only the Southern Continent is a place of greed, lust, and misfortune, full of killing, fighting, and trouble!"

The Southern Continent that the other party mentioned was the most prosperous period for the human race, the Zhenguan Period of the Tang Dynasty, which was known as the most prosperous period in a thousand years. There was almost no demon to be seen in the territory.

But now, according to what my senior brother has said, there are 72 demon kings including the Demon King of Chaos in the Dongsheng Continent, who are committing crimes and killing people like crazy. The Beijulu Continent is full of big demons, which is the territory of the demon clan. They are rampant and occupy the entire continent. Neither the Heavenly Court nor the Buddhist sect dares to provoke them.

Demons also gather in Xiniu Hezhou. Not to mention now, even in the future, there will be demons everywhere. Nearly eighty of the eighty-one tribulations are in Xiniu Hezhou. It’s only because there are no demons in the Tang Dynasty of Nanshanbuzhou that there can’t be many tribulations...

In this comparison, the so-called Tang Dynasty, a place of greed, lust and pleasure...

Oh my god!
Zhang Tian almost wanted to stamp his feet, pointed at Tathagata's nose and cursed, "Didn't you say that Buddhists don't gossip? How can you, a dignified Buddha, lie here with your eyes open? I remember it was a peaceful and prosperous era, right?"

Did I watch a fake Journey to the West?
Zhang Tian's heart was in turmoil, and he secretly made a decision. Since the outside world was so terrifying and demons were rampant, he must stay in the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. Even if Patriarch Bodhi left, he would hide in the mountain and not come out.

Oh my god, this is so scary!
He glanced and saw a hint of yearning on the face of Monkey King standing behind the crowd, as if he was shocked that the almighty heaven could be attacked by such powerful monsters.

Not only did he swallow up the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.

The Jade Emperor was so scared that he closed the South Gate of Heaven and hid in the Heavenly Palace!
Sun Wukong was a little absent-minded at this time, with his hands hanging down on the slightly large clothes and a crooked tattered hat on. His clothes were so tight that even his chest was exposed. Although it was a bunch of monkey hair and nothing could be seen, it was still elegant. He squeezed behind the crowd and listened to the legendary story of the demon king.

Standing there stupidly, he looks just like a minion!

When Zhang Tian saw this scene, a line of poetry flashed through his mind.

That is……

He was three hundred years old that year, but he stood like an ant!

"Big silly monkey, what do you want to do? You are not planning to imitate the demon king and cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, are you?"

Zhang Tian originally thought that Buddhism was a good place to go, but after listening to what his senior brother said, he thought about it carefully and suddenly felt that his three views were torn apart. He felt that it was not a good place to go, so he warned the monkey.

Unexpectedly, the monkey didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he smiled and approached the brothers, asking curiously, "With so many demons eating people, no one is doing anything about it. How can the Buddha Tathagata and the Jade Emperor of Heaven just watch?"

This question stumped many senior brothers.

The same question was also asked to Zhang Tian.

The brothers were talking about it in a flurry. Some said that the demon race had a long history and strong bloodline. It took hundreds or thousands of years to give birth to a baby, so they were born powerful.

Some say that when Goddess Nuwa created humans, she just made some mud and did it just for fun, so humans were born to be eaten by demons.

Others said that the human lifespan was short, and cultivating immortals was too difficult, as every five hundred years some disaster would befall them, and it was impossible for any human expert to live that long.

Some say that humans only know how to practice magical powers and sorcery, but are ignorant of destiny and do not understand the way of heaven. If they act recklessly, they are naturally seeking death. In other words, they are courting death in various ways.

Zhang Tian was curious why he said that.

Then I heard the senior brother say with great confidence, "There is the Heavenly Palace in the sky, there is the Sacred Mountain in the west, there are the three religions in the east, there is the gathering place of the great demons in the north, and there are even the eighteen levels of the underworld below. But the Human Emperor in the south is extremely stubborn and only knows how to defend his throne."

"You neither believe in heaven, nor in Buddhism, nor in Taoism, and you even try to exorcise demons. You don't believe in this, you don't believe in that. Who will protect you?"

"In my opinion!"

"We should let the Human Emperor open the country's gates and give them some territory. Let those powerful forces take charge. They only need to offer a little incense and worship to protect the safety of the human race. By then, our human race will surely prosper! There will be peace and no worries for eternity!!"
