Chapter 361 The Peaches Are Ripe

Demon Emperor Palace. Read

The newly built palace is magnificent, covered with auspicious clouds and auspicious auras.

The heavenly soldiers guarding the palace are all powerful demon kings in the mortal world. To do so, they need to have connections, offerings, and noble bloodlines.

Ordinary demon beasts who are lucky enough to become demon kings are not qualified to become heavenly soldiers and can only occupy a hilltop in the mortal world.

In the Golden Palace, Bai Ze Demon God is reporting.

"Your Majesty, the Three Immortal Islands have been raised to the Observatory, and the movement of the sun, moon and stars can be measured in the future."

"Why doesn't Kunpeng come in person?"

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor thought and knew that Kunpeng was not in the Demon Court.

Bai Ze replied: "Your Majesty, the demon commander Kunpeng led the charge and was accidentally restricted by Cangmingzi. He is now recovering in the North Sea."

"Take a Qiongsang fairy fruit from the treasure house and give it to Kunpeng to heal his wounds."

The Demon Emperor certainly didn't believe that Kunpeng would be injured. Cangmingzi couldn't even break the defense of the top five demon gods in the demon court. .

Kunpeng's meaning was very clear. Your Majesty has repaid the favor of mediating the dragon clan.

Bai Ze couldn't help but show envy when he heard about the fairy fruit. Even if the Qiongsang fruit was useless, it was a rare treasure in the world.

"Your Majesty, the Zhanye Buddha Kingdom is not doing well, and Ao Xiao unfortunately died in battle!"

"I already know about this."

The Demon Emperor did not hide his disgust for Ao Xiao: "A true dragon that has practiced for three thousand years died in the hands of a new Arhat. The dragon clan has no face, so I will not pursue the crime of defeat."

Bai Ze originally planned to persuade the Demon Emperor that since Ao Xiao was dead, the matter of the fuck was over, and His Majesty should comfort the dragon clan to show his favor, which could stabilize the Demon Court.

But after hearing the Demon Emperor's impatient tone, he changed his tone.

"Your Majesty is right. The dragon clan relies on its powerful strength and usually looks down on the top. They should be taught a lesson."

The demon clan has no concept of family and country. They have been the law of the jungle since birth, hunting all creatures other than themselves.

As long as the strong want, they can devour their own blood, so how can they be loyal to the Demon Court?

Bai Ze was a new demon commander and was trusted by the Demon Emperor. He originally planned to be a loyal minister, but he died halfway. In the future, he would still pick up good reports.

"Your Majesty, according to investigation, the Immortal Changsheng has died, and the murderer is the Hades."

The Immortal Changsheng joined the Demon Court, but did not dare to leave the soul lamp, fearing that he would be cursed by some ancient spells. As a result, he died for a long time before the Demon Court knew about it.

"If he dies, he dies!"

The Demon Emperor's attitude towards Changsheng is worse than Ao Xiao's. He said: "Before, the Dao Realm was dissatisfied with Changsheng and wanted to be the leader of the human race. It was originally to prevent the Dao Realm from taking advantage of this to become bigger."

"Now the Hades is the biggest enemy of the Demon Court. The human race often says to control the barbarians with the barbarians. It is just right to use the Dao Realm to restrict it!"

Bai Ze flattered: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The Demon Emperor said: "Cangsuyuan is a superior spiritual land. It was promoted to the Demon Court and built into my imperial garden!"

"I will personally watch this matter."

Bai Ze has already investigated Cangsuyuan. Apart from the Immortal Changsheng, there are no other immortals and Buddhas, and there is a fairy lotus root planted.

"Thank you, my dear."

The Demon Emperor knows Bai Ze's little thoughts. He doesn't care about the greed of his demon gods, so he can use them.

"I am willing to share your worries!"

Bai Ze has already predicted that the evil man will not go to Cangsuyuan, and other immortals and Buddhas of the human race can suppress him.

The Demon Emperor said: "There is one more thing I need to trouble you, Ai Qiong, to predict an auspicious day and issue an edict to the world!"

"Your Majesty, aren't you waiting for the double happiness?"

As the confidant of the Demon Emperor, Bai Ze knows that the canonization of the Demon Queen is not only a happy event, but also the harmony of yin and yang in accordance with the will of heaven.

After the establishment of the Demon Court, the Demon Emperor only needs to follow the will of heaven, and his cultivation strength will advance by leaps and bounds.

The favor of heaven and earth is countless times more powerful than any son of luck.

"No need to wait."

The Demon Emperor said slowly: "I have discussed with the Phoenix Mother, and there is no need to publicize the matter of establishing the Queen."

"I obey your order."

Bai Ze bowed and accepted the order, and slowly withdrew.

The only one left in the Golden Palace was the Demon Emperor, sitting on the treasure chair made of the real dragon corpse, overlooking the clouds and mist below.

The layout of the Demon Court was built according to the human dynasty. The ministers should have stood on both sides of the hall. However, many demon gods were either in seclusion or sick. Only Bai Ze would report on time.

"They are old and immortal, greedy and cherish their lives. They just want to live forever by relying on the Demon Court and are unwilling to contribute at all!"

"Otherwise, if the more than 30 demon gods and more than 100 demon fairies in the Demon Court can work together, how dare the underworld be so rampant?"

The Demon Emperor murmured to himself: "It's a pity that you don't know what it feels like to be the master of heaven and earth! Wait for the decree to be passed to the world, and all spirits will return to their hearts. Those who rebel against me will die..."

The voice was ethereal, and two phantoms appeared behind the Demon Emperor, with the same breath and appearance.

One was fierce and evil, and the other was full of compassion.

...

The news of the destruction of the Three Immortal Islands was fanned by the Demon Court and spread all over the world in just a few days.

The demons in Dagan were becoming increasingly rare, and most of them were not a big deal, but someone deliberately spread it.

Because of the previous example of Emperor Jingtai's killing of nine clans, those who promote the demon clan dare not say that all spirits are equal and prosperous. They only boast that the demon clan is powerful, and implicitly express that if you don't surrender, you will die!

It is a matter of life and death. Rumors have been rampant for a while, and many high-ranking monks are arranging their retreat.

After all, unlike the common people, they either die in the mouths of the demon clan or die in the exploitation of the landlords. There is not much difference.

The floating of people's hearts seriously affected the implementation of policies by Emperor Longqing. The monks thought that the great cause was about to be destroyed, so how could they contribute to the court, let alone work hard to cast spells to increase people's livelihood.

Before Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, he was nicknamed the general who exterminated the clan. After knowing this, he immediately wanted to restart the old things of Jingtai.

Officials in the court tried their best to dissuade him, saying that since the time of Emperor Taizu, no one had ever been convicted for speaking out. Your Majesty could kill people or exterminate the clan, provided that evidence of treason was obtained.

Emperor Longqing said to Eunuch Chu: "Grand Eunuch, I will leave this matter to you. Those who spread rumors must be thrown into prison."

"Yes, sir."

After receiving the order, Eunuch Chu led the Eunuchs to investigate for more than a month, but did not find any evidence.

Those who spread the word that the demon race was horrible and that the human race was going to die, on the contrary, brought out their merits of slaying demons and exterminating monsters, and shouted: I shed blood for Dagan, I was injured for Dagan, and I want to see Your Majesty!

Bang!

Emperor Longqing smashed his favorite cup, which was said to be a gift from Emperor Taizu to King Zhongshan for his 100th birthday.

At this time, Emperor Longqing suddenly understood why Jingtai and Hongde reused people like Wang Bo'an, who laughed at the emperor behind his back and were blind to the difference between loyalty and treachery.

Now the court seems to be full of loyal ministers, none of whom are greedy for money or power, and they handed over the six ministries to Emperor Longqing.

As a result, the rumors spread all over the country, but the eunuch department couldn't catch anyone!

"Where should I go to find my Wang Bo'an?"

Emperor Longqing closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and ordered the eunuch to summon Du Si and Chen Shangshu to come to the study room to meet him quickly.

Both of them were great scholars. After a while, their light fell outside the study room. After entering the room, they bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite, my two beloved ministers, sit down and talk."

Emperor Longqing dismissed his attendants and told Du Si and the others in detail what he had just thought.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a bit troublesome."

Shangshu Chen said: "Those people really deserve to die, but forging evidence to kill a whole family is really the work of cruel officials. Such people have never had a good end."

Most of the court officials are masters of spiritual cultivation, with a lifespan of hundreds of years, and they have outlasted several emperors.

It can be said that the emperors are changing, but the officials are fixed. In this way, few people are willing to be cruel officials.

Emperor Longqing thought about his many relatives, which one is suitable for this position. Since the family will be confiscated and the clan will be exterminated in the end, he can be rewarded more during his lifetime.

"If there is no one, I am willing to go."

Du Si said: "Now there are many rumors among the monks, and people's hearts are already unsettled. If it spreads to the ears of the people of the world, perhaps Dagan will collapse on its own without the attack of the demon court."

The people can barely survive under the governance or oppression of the court. Once they know that the demon court will destroy Dagan.

People are panicked, and after being instigated and guided by others, civil strife will inevitably break out.

"I naturally know the sincere heart of Prime Minister Du."

Emperor Longqing shook his head and said: "I have my own arrangements for this matter. There are many people in the world who are afraid of poverty but not death!"

In the eyes of Emperor Longqing, Du Si is not only his right-hand man, but also intends to pass him to his son and grandson to assist the throne inheritance of the Zhongshan King for hundreds of years.

The Jianghu and the court were in chaos, with people either frightened by the demon court or trying to fish in troubled waters. It was so lively.

Zhou Yi turned a deaf ear to these mundane things. He handled official documents when on duty, listened to music when off duty, and returned to Qingfeng Cottage near midnight.

The moon was bright in the sky.

The silver light illuminated the courtyard, and every detail was visible without casting a spell, as if it was a bright day.

Zhou Yi sat on a stone chair, sipping tea and meditating, and couldn't help thinking about the busyness of recent years.

"I haven't had this much free time for a long time!"

Since he knew about the demon court, his mind was no longer free and easy as before.

Zhou Yi once had the idea of ​​giving up. Anyway, with his magic power and many protective treasures, no matter how rampant the demon court was, it couldn't control him.

Unfortunately, he was a mortal after all, and couldn't let go of the world of flowers.

Zhou Yi looked up at the sky. The moonlight was more than ten times brighter than before, and he could faintly see the activities of living creatures on the moon.

There is a demon god on the moon who is building a palace. In the future, the moon will be controlled by the moon god, and the moon will rise and fall according to his preferences.

Zhou Yi was immediately indignant: "Golden Crow, Golden Crow, don't blame me for rebelling against the demon court. Even looking at the moon is restricted!"

While complaining about the demon court, the void in front of him fluctuated and opened the exit of the cave.

Mao Jiu flew out on the rolling and jumped into Zhou Yi's arms. The cat's face was wrinkled, and his ears were drooping, looking like he had suffered a great grievance.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Who provoked the second cave master?"

Meow!

Mao Jiu heard this and covered his face with his paws and dared not see anyone.

Zhou Yi has been busy with the affairs of the underworld recently, and rarely returns to the Sun and Moon Cave. All matters are handed over to Mao Jiu.

Mao Jiu relies on his innate magical powers to easily detect people's hearts. Even if he can't read, he can understand his preferences. He easily wins over the fairy peach tree and the laurel tree, and unites with the divine cow to subdue the rolling and take control of the power of the cave.

The Immortal is the Lord of the Cave Heaven, so Mao Jiu calls himself the Second Lord of the Cave Heaven.

Meow!

Mao Jiu jumped onto Zhou Yi's shoulder, waved his hand to set up a soundproofing ban, and said: "Immortal, I dreamed of my mother."

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "With your mother's magical powers, she must have sent me a dream."

Zhou Yi had predicted Mao Jiu's mother's origin and location several times, but there was no information, not even her life or death. With Zhou Yi's ability to predict, the only one who left no trace was the demon god.

Mao Jiu replied: "My mother asked me to ask the Immortal to seek a position in the underworld."

Zhou Yi said: "Why doesn't it come by itself?"

Mao Jiu shook his head. He only saw her once in his dream, and the other party's appearance changed too much. If it weren't for the blood induction, he wouldn't have recognized her as his mother.

"It's good to work in the underworld."

Zhou Yi rubbed Mao Jiu's head and said: "The world will become more and more chaotic in the future. I dare not say that I can protect everything. I don't know if I will die in the siege of demons one day."

"You are too lazy. You will never become an immortal through cultivation. It is not bad to take the express train to the underworld."

Mao Jiu did not dare to disobey the words of the immortal. He said, "Is there a position in the underworld where you work one day and rest six days?"

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, there is. The chief of the injustice department is mainly responsible for checking the gaps in the judge's hall and clearing the grievances of ghosts. Most of the time, there is no problem in a month or a year."

"Meow!"

Mao Jiu's eyes lit up and said, "Immortal, I am the chief of the injustice department!"

"You are not allowed to regret it."

Zhou Yi said, "The underworld has its own rules. In order to restrain those who come later, I will not easily change the law."

"Meow!"

Mao Jiu cried out and said confidently, "No regrets!"

It is easy to distinguish whether the ghosts who cry out for injustice are really wronged by listening to the innate magical powers of all things. Moreover, Mao Jiu knows that there is a three-life stone in the underworld, and there are very few wrong judgments in the judge's hall.

"That's great." Zhou Yi said, "Next time you dream of your mother, invite her to the underworld... Qingfeng Cottage as a guest." Being a guest in the underworld seems a bit unlucky! Mao Jiu smiled happily and whispered, "Immortal, let me tell you a secret. The fairy peach tree has grown peaches." "Huh?" Zhou Yi heard this and waved his hand. The fairy peach tree flew out of his sleeve and landed in the yard. The leaves were sparse. Even with the enlightenment tea tree and the laurel tree, Zhou Yi would not easily change his taste after drinking peach leaf tea. The branches were empty and there were no fairy peaches at all. Zhou Yi calculated with his fingers and understood the cause and effect. He said to himself, "I am going to refine a peach wood sword these days. I can't find the heart of the ten thousand year old peach wood, so I will use the heart of the fairy peach tree!" Rustle, rustle, rustle! The fairy peach tree moved without wind, trembling, and two peach leaves fell into Zhou Yi's teapot. "Hmph!"

Zhou Yi deliberately snorted coldly: "Eat my demon god!"

"That's great."

Zhou Yi said: "Next time I dream of your mother, invite her to the underworld...Qingfeng Cottage as a guest."

Being a guest in the underworld seems a bit unlucky!

Mao Jiu smiled happily and whispered in his ear: "Immortal, let me tell you a secret, the fairy peach tree has grown peaches."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yi waved his hand and the fairy peach tree flew out of his sleeve and landed in the yard.

The leaves were sparse. Even with the enlightenment tea tree and the laurel tree, Zhou Yi would not easily change his taste after drinking peach leaf tea.

The branches were empty, and there were no fairy peaches at all.

Zhou Yi calculated with his fingers, understood the cause and effect, and said to himself: "I am going to refine a peach wood sword in the next few days. I can't find the heart of the ten thousand year old peach wood, so I will make do with the heart of the fairy peach tree!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The fairy peach tree trembled without wind, and two peach leaves fell into Zhou Yi's teapot.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Yi deliberately snorted: "Eat the poor demon god!"
