Chapter 682: Bull Demon King Made a Mistake All His Life!
The Bull Demon King was full of doubts and couldn't figure out why Lao Jun treated him like this.
Although he was full of doubts, no one was strong in form, so he could only suppress the doubts and arrogance in his heart and listen honestly to Laojun's instructions.
Laojun looked kindly and proposed two paths to the Bull Demon King:
First, like the Sun Wukong who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, suppress and punish him, get rid of his inner wildness, return to orthodoxy, and at the same time quietly wait for the opportunity to observe what the West will do.
If he can find an opportunity to sneak into the ranks of Buddhism, Taishang Laojun will promise to grant him the status of immortality;
The second is to marry Lao Jun's disciple: Rosa, and guard the Flame Mountain for Lao Jun, and act as Lao Jun's right-hand man in secret.
The Bull Demon King secretly pondered for a while, five hundred years was too long and arduous. He had always been free and domineering in front of the demon king, how could he endure the pain of such a long period of imprisonment?
In comparison, this second path seems particularly tempting - not only can you regain your freedom, but you can also have a wife as beautiful as a fairy to accompany you, you can also get the territory given by Laojun, and continue to live in the human world. Live happily as his great demon king.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Bull Demon King finally gave up. He did not dare to accept the punishment and accept the precepts and return to orthodoxy like Sun Wukong. He still wanted to continue to be the Demon King.
Taishang Laojun didn't get the answer he wanted, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but after all, he had made his promise, and it was hard to go back on his word.
So, according to the previous agreement, Laojun cast a spell to summon Rosanuo.
This girl Rosa was really beautiful and charming, and when the Bull Demon King saw her at first sight, his big copper bell-like eyes suddenly widened and he stared straight at the beauty in front of him, as if his soul had been taken away. of.
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't suppress the excitement and joy in his heart. Without saying a word, he pulled Rosa and hurriedly left the Tushita Palace and rushed towards the Flame Mountain to take office.
"Rotten wood cannot be carved!"
Looking at the back of the Bull Demon King who was eager to leave, Taishang Laojun sighed helplessly and gave up his plan to win over the Bull Demon King.
After a short period of contact, Laojun had already figured out the character of the Bull Demon King. He was a tough and timid person who was always scheming; he cherished his life when doing big things, and he forgot his life when he saw small gains.
Since the birth of Sun Wukong, his mind has been extremely pure, like an innocent heart that has not been contaminated by the world.
If he can meet a good teacher who will guide and teach him carefully, given time, he will definitely be able to embark on the right path and achieve extraordinary achievements.
However, the mention of the Bull Demon King is really dismissive.
This kind of thing, not to mention being taken under the sect and used as a lackey, would make your eyes dirty even if you take a second look at it.
…
…
After Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, for about seven hundred years, the gods will usher in a relatively peaceful time.
You know, a fierce battle between Heavenly Court and the demon clan almost broke the backbone of this generation of demon clan.
Except for the Bull Demon King, all the other seven great saints who were once so famous have been almost completely wiped out.
Even the Bull Demon King is now trapped in the Flame Mountain and the Jilei Mountain, and it is difficult for him to make any big achievements.
However, the Monster Clan has always been a group that easily forgets the past. It didn't take long for them to put their painful experiences behind them.
Various emerging monster clans have taken advantage of the situation to rise and dominate the world. They each show their magical powers and have the potential to dominate one side.
They are even more jealous of each other, completely disregarding the feelings of belonging to the same clan in the past.
Some occupy the mountains and become kings, dominating and bringing prosperity; others hunt and kill their fellow tribesmen wantonly, just to improve their own cultivation.
Such chaos is really sad and deplorable.
As one of the biggest beneficiaries of this incident, Jin Chan has been steadily improving his behavior.
Moreover, for a long time after that, there was nothing too relevant and important to pay attention to.
Everything is waiting for the journey to the west to begin.
…
…
At this time, Xiao, who was in the Daluo Arena, slowly opened his eyes.
After watching this journey to the West, which is similar to what I know but has a completely different world, I can't help but feel a little anticipation in my heart.
Faced with the choice made by Lao Jun, the Bull Demon King who was also causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
"With such a great opportunity, this Bull Demon King only focused his eyes on the so-called beauty, which is really a piece of rotten wood.
Even Gao Qiqiang understood that before marrying Chen Shuting, he had to pay homage to Uncle Tai first.
The proud disciple who married Lao Jun should kneel down on the ground without hesitation, kowtow to Lao Jun and become his adopted father! "
It should be noted that in this world of Journey to the West, even the Great Sage Qitian, who is all-powerful, is of no use simply relying on his own abilities.
If you want to really get ahead, you have to worship the mountain first.
Those high-ranking gods and Buddhas all occupy their own hills. On the surface, they seem to live in harmony with each other, but secretly the forces of all parties are complicated and intertwined.
From the very beginning of their birth, all living beings have been tightly bound by the web of the system of gods and Buddhas.
Now that you have knelt down and surrendered, you must kneel down completely without any hesitation or reservation.
Reluctant to bow to the top of the mountain, unwilling to kneel down to worship a teacher, and unwilling to practice the ‘right path’,
No matter how earth-shattering it is in the lower realm, it's useless.
Therefore, once you find such a rare opportunity, you should act decisively without any hesitation.
If you just wait for those big shots to come to you, you will not be a direct disciple, and your status will probably be just a temporary employee.
When you encounter difficulties, not only will no one be willing to stand up and protect you, but you may even be thrown out as a pawn to take the blame at a critical moment.
If at this moment, the Bull Demon King can kneel before the Taishang Laojun and sincerely recognize him as his adoptive father, then the following situation will definitely be completely different.
In the future, the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong will fight fiercely, attracting the arrival of the heavenly soldiers and generals led by the Tower-Bearing Li Tianwang and Nezha, and finally fight fiercely and lose.
Once the Taishang Laojun arrives, no matter whether there is a misunderstanding in this encirclement and suppression, it will end with the resolution of the misunderstanding.
Just like the mounts of other gods and Buddhas who descended to the world as demons, they were taken back by their masters to be punished after being caught. They said they were severe, but in fact they were just a small punishment and a big warning.
Everyone tacitly gave each other a way out, and then they could meet and laugh and forget their grudges. I can help you afterwards.
Why did the Bull Demon King end up with a tragic end? Not only was his son given away, his brother was also severely punished, and even his little lover died tragically under Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed rake.
The root cause of all these tragedies was simply because the Bull Demon King made a wrong choice.
He thought he had escaped the punishment of the gods and Buddhas and could be a free and happy wild demon.
But he never expected that from the moment he decided to return to the demon world, his second half of life had been tightly controlled by the Taishang Laojun, and there was no day to turn over.
