Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

The panic in the hearts of the people quickly calmed down after an hour.

News came from the palace, and an order was issued to hang the dragon head for public display, to inform the people of Chang'an that this was the head of the Jinghe Dragon King, the chief of the eight rivers and the great dragon god of rain. Because he disobeyed the Jade Emperor's order and tampered with the time and number of rainfall, he was beheaded on the Dragon Beheading Platform in a dream by the official Wei Zheng. It can be seen that there are gods above our heads, and even if the dragon god is deceiving, he cannot escape the sword. The common people should obey the king's orders and not act recklessly and lawlessly.

Yin Yuancai used both soft and hard tactics to invite the four people to his house to watch over them, but then he found out that there was nothing wrong and they could be released. He felt a little embarrassed, so he specially held a banquet to apologize to the four people and prepared to send them out with gifts the next day.

Huo Linger has been practicing with Wen Jiao for twelve years, and her cultivation has improved a lot, but her greed has not changed at all. When she heard that there was delicious food to enjoy, her eyes lit up and she wanted to rush to the banquet immediately to feast on it.

Wen Jiao pulled her back and pressed her down on the couch. She took out a black jade bottle and poured out some clear flower dew. She rubbed it evenly and smeared it on her face. "Not all the maids in Wanhua Tower went back to their hometowns. Many of them stayed in the mansion. If you go to eat like this, you won't be able to explain yourself if someone recognizes you. We deliberately used umbrellas to cover our faces when we came in, but we can't cover them once we're inside."

Huo Ling'er immediately sat down and let her pat her face. This flower dew was a little gadget that Wen Jiao found on an isolated island during her training in Wudang Mountain. It was made by taking the morning dew from the cores of 21 kinds of fragrant flowers and mixing it with the rain on a light rainy day, the frost on a frost day, and the snow on a light snowy day, and refining it with a spell. Just apply a little bit and you will feel the fragrance on your cheeks. It is the best for beauty and nourishing the skin, and the fragrance is clear and far-reaching, and it will last for months.

After applying a thin layer of floral dew, Wen Jiao blew a breath on Huo Ling'er's face, and Huo Ling'er's face suddenly changed, turning into a gorgeous and pretty girl. Looking closely, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Feng Ji.

Wen Jiao instructed: "When you get out, you should say that you are Fengji's cousin and I am your sister. We sisters have lost our family members, so we came to Beijing together to seek refuge with him."

Huo Ling'er asked: "Why do you want me to tell you? Aren't you going out?"

Wen Jiao looked towards the east, her sight penetrating the numerous walls and eaves, as if she could see the majestic and elegant palaces of Daming Palace. "During the day, I sensed that the resentment of the beheaded old dragon followed his head into the palace. At night, the yin energy is so strong that it's hard to guarantee that there won't be some trouble. I'm really worried, so I need to send Yang Shen over to find out what's going on."

The disciples of the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Lord have the responsibility to slay demons and monsters, cook ghosts and purify the universe.

At night, Wen Jiaoning calmed her mind, meditated, and flew straight to the Daming Palace. As expected, she saw the Jinghe Dragon King holding his own head in one hand and grabbing a person with the other, shouting, "Li Shimin! Give me back my life! You promised to save me last night, but why did you send someone to kill me at dawn?"

The man he grabbed was wearing a yellow robe, with a handsome appearance and a solemn look. He was the current emperor Li Shimin. He just said, "Your Majesty, I have promised you, so how can I break my promise? I actually summoned Wei Zheng to the palace to play chess, intending to make him too busy to execute you. Who would have thought that he would escape in a dream and go to the Dragon Execution Platform to supervise the execution. How could I have imagined such a strange move?"

The Dragon King ignored his words of defense and said sternly: "If you hadn't deliberately condoned it, how could that officer dare to fall asleep in front of you and kill me in my dream?"

Li Shimin complained: "Wei Zheng works hard for the country day and night, and he is sleepy. How can I bear to disturb his sleep? Your minister works hard day and night, and just takes a nap in front of you, are you so heartless that you have to wake him up?"

He can really do it!

The Dragon King was silent for a moment, then said angrily, "Don't quibble! Come with me to the Ten Kings of Hell to seek justice!" He grabbed Li Shimin by the collar and was about to leave. Li Shimin had been a soldier all his life and was a master of martial arts. If the other party was a living person, he would have knocked over ten strong men. But after being caught by the old dragon's cold hand, he was exhausted and could not break free. Just when he was about to burst his heart, he suddenly saw a woman in green clothes flying in the air, scolding, "Old dragon, don't be rude!"

As he spoke, he swung his sword. The sword light moved like thunder, like blazing white lightning, and like a giant crawling snake, with scales and fangs, biting straight at the Dragon King of Jinghe River.

Thunder and lightning are the most masculine energy in the world, and all ghosts and monsters are terrified when they see them. The Dragon King of Jinghe River has become a headless ghost at this moment, so he is naturally afraid. He quickly let go of Li Shimin and dodged himself, saying angrily: "Who is this ignorant person who is meddling in other people's business here instead of doing your meditation and refining your elixir in the mountains? If you dare to entangle me again, I will drag you to the Yama Palace too!"

The electric snake swung its tail and flew back to the nun's hand, transforming into a brilliant sword that illuminated her graceful eyes. It was Wen Jiao who had come out of the Yang God. Upon hearing this, she gently stroked the sword's edge and said sternly, "You are the one who doesn't know what's best for you. Please call me Lei Feng!"

After saying that, he flicked the sword three times in a row. Every time he flicked it, a snake of electricity sprang out. The hot sword light formed a large net of flashing electricity, covering half of the night sky.

The magic sword given to her by the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Venerable was called Dragon Snake. It was usually shaped like an armlet, but once infused with true energy, it could transform into a flying sword with the power to release thunder and lightning. When Wen Jiao had nothing to do, she would place it on a high peak where lightning was frequent. It had stored at least ten years of thunder and lightning. Once released, it would feel the might of heaven, making all spirits panic and all things terrified.

"The dead should return to the underworld, but you escaped the underworld's extradition and stayed in the world of the living. This is your first crime. You disturbed the emperor of the human world and attempted to kill him. This is your second crime." She listed calmly.

Seeing that the Luotian electric net was getting closer and closer to him, the originally tyrannical Jinghe Dragon King immediately became gentle: "Master Lei Feng, Xiaolong did not intentionally bring disaster to the emperor of the world. He died unjustly. If I don't avenge this, I will not be willing to reincarnate!"

Wen Jiao paused. Fortunately, the lightning was bright enough to blind people, hiding her face and not ruining her noble demeanor.

It's not too late to take back what I just said...

The Dragon King of Jing River had no idea what she was thinking at the moment. He kept on chattering on and on about how he made a bet with the fortune teller Yuan Shoucheng, and changed the time and number of rainfall in the heavenly decree on a single thought, for which he was sentenced to death, and how he received Yuan Shoucheng's guidance and asked for help from Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

He then said fiercely, "Li Shimin clearly promised to save me, but he still asked Wei Zheng to kill me. Xiaolong cannot swallow this anger. I must make him pay with my life before I can rest in peace. Master Lei Feng, please judge for me."

One misstep can lead to eternal regret, for example, the Dragon King of Jinghe River made a bet with Yuan Shoucheng and lost his mind and changed the decree of heaven, for example, Li Shimin did not wake up Wei Zheng, and for example, Wen Jiao made a joke but accidentally got herself involved.

Wen Jiao resisted the urge to spit out blood and said, "Ignore the name Lei Feng for now."
