Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

At night, with candlelight ablaze, many little demons gathered in the cave, toasting each other and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

Lin Yu sat at the top and watched the little demons playing below. Suddenly, Hu Da and all the demons stood up and respectfully raised their glasses to toast Lin Yu.

"Your Majesty, this is a toast from you, my humble servants."

"Yes, yes, yes! Cheers to the king, cheers to the king..."

The clamoring noises made Lin Yu smile knowingly and waved his hand for the demons to sit down. "Alright, everyone, drink together! Today, several companions from afar have joined our group at Leopard Head Mountain. This is also a sign of welcome. From now on, we are all one family. I hope everyone will work together."

"Yes, my king, we will obey the law." The monsters stood up again to express their opinions.

Lin Yu asked them to sit down and continued, "I have already planned our future cultivation life. I am here today to solemnly warn you all again that none of us have the support of gods or Buddhas, and we must not kill or harm mortals to help us cultivate.

I've heard that a sage monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty will soon lead Sun Wukong, the Monkey King who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, along with Zhu Bajie, the Heavenly Marshal, and Sha Monk, the Curtain-Pulling General, on a journey to the Western Heaven to seek the true scriptures. I'm sure they'll pass through our area. If any of us spirits commit murderous acts, or become greedy and seek immortality by devouring Tang Monk's flesh like the other spirits around us, then we'll be met with catastrophic destruction. Sun Wukong is merciless. Even a demon cannot escape the might of his golden cudgel.

So please don't take any chances. If anyone breaks my rules, I will personally deal with you."

This was equivalent to a warning. The demons all looked serious and listened attentively.

Seeing that the monsters had taken it in, Lin Yu continued, "Of course, we are monsters after all, so we should continue this path of cultivation. Next, I plan to transform our living environment. If you do well, I will give you the skills. Even if you can't become gods or immortals, you can at least escape the realm of low-level monsters and become a wandering immortal."

The little demons below were excited. One of them, whose original form was a rabbit, mustered up the courage to stand up and ask, "Great... Great King! Can this technique be practiced by everyone? Can it transform into a human form?"

Lin Yu looked at the trembling little rabbit fairy with emotion in his heart, and said gently: "Of course you can. The reason why we fairies practice is to become human beings and achieve the Great Dao one day. Of course, the Great Dao does not allow you to commit murder without permission. This karma will eventually become a demonic debt, so..."

Although the words were not fully said, the monsters who could become spirits also understood the unfinished words. From then on, the concept that they must never suck the blood, essence and flesh of humans was deeply rooted in the monsters' hearts.

Lin Yu continued, "I plan to turn this place into a monster town. This cave is too small after all, so I plan to set aside a large piece of land to build houses. In the future, each family can live separately. I will also set aside land for farming so that we can be self-sufficient and trade with mortals."

After receiving the blueprints, the leopard and the ape looked at each other and stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, the blueprints you gave us include a house. Where do you intend to build it?"

The others also pricked up their ears to know whether this house would look like a mortal town and where it would be built!

Lin Yu didn't keep the secret and directly marked out the chosen place. He took out the map he had drawn, pointed to an area and said, "After all, we are spiritual monsters. Although we get along well with mortals, it's not good for us to get too close to mortal towns. So I plan to build this town in this valley, around my Tiger's Mouth Cave. The land on the other side near the river is very fertile and very suitable for growing crops. We can also build a waterwheel to irrigate the fields."

After hearing this, the monsters began to imagine and felt happy. The king’s suggestion was really a good plan!

Then there was another round of chattering and noisy speeches.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can we raise some chickens, ducks, geese, etc. for food ourselves, so we don't have to go out to buy them all the time?"

"My king, my king, can you plant some fruit trees? The fruits in the mortal world are quite delicious, but the ones we pick in the mountains are a bit astringent."

"Your Majesty! After we build our town, can we also start a business like those people down the mountain?"

"Your Majesty..."

Lin Yu was completely bewildered. He hadn't expected these spirits to be so receptive, not to mention each having their own ideas. But this was a good thing, better than the daily violence like those spirits. A rumor spread in the heavens, and they all rushed to capture Tang Sanzang. They either wanted to marry him or eat him for immortality. That was pure nonsense. Otherwise, they could just have Tang Sanzang cut his nails, give him a bath to shed some dead skin, or cut off a piece of his flesh to make soup, and everyone would be immortal.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop arguing! Everything you're talking about in the future is achievable, so let's get started starting tomorrow. Let's get it built quickly so everyone can move in."

After hearing the promise from their king, all the demons were excited. They could live in a big house and have the opportunity to transform into human beings. As expected, the king is the king, powerful. Although he has no backing, the king has a sharp brain and great martial arts!

After a night of eating and drinking, the demons left in groups of three or four, still discussing what they would do tomorrow.

The leopard and the ape families walked behind and discussed building a house.

"Brother Leopard, I feel like we don't have enough manpower. The blueprints the king gave me are very large. I've also seen mortals building houses at the foot of the mountain. I think we should hire some mortal craftsmen and civilians to help."

The leopard was a little uncertain: "Will mortals come? Will the people be willing?"

The long ape said, "Of course they will. I go down the mountain to help all year round. I've seen many people living in hardship, starving and clothed. How could they not be willing to do so if we pay them? Besides, even though we are goblins, the people know we don't eat humans. We have a good reputation. Would they consider it for the sake of survival?"

The leopard thought about it and said, "I'll tell the king tomorrow!"

"Okay! Let's go! Go back and rest... I see the king gave us some brick kiln blueprints. Let's build this tomorrow. We can build a brick house, but there should be many people who choose wooden houses."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. We still need to do some statistics. Anyway, let's get back to planning."

Another group of females gathered together and asked, "What can the king do with the artifacts we weave?"

The little rabbit demon thought and said, "Look, it's needed to collect herbs, and it's also needed to move things when building a house. There are many places to use. Isn't that what the people down the mountain use?"

"That's right. Let's go! We'll be busy tomorrow."
