Chapter 124: King of Golden Eyes and King of Silver Eyes
Under the bright moonlight, hidden by dense forests, the golden sedan stopped.
"I just happened to be traveling here. Which great king nearby is getting married?"
"There is only one great king nearby, and that is our Golden Eyed King!"
"King of Golden Eyes?"
"Do you see those hills in the distance? They are the territories governed by our King Golden Eyes!"
"That's awesome."
"Of course, the Golden Eyed King has boundless magical powers and is one of the most powerful monsters in the area."
"I really want to meet the King of Golden Eyes that you mentioned."
"It's a pity that you are a monk. Our king doesn't like monks."
After the little monster said this, he called the black bear demon who was carrying the flower bridge to continue on his journey.
"I want to ask for a glass of wedding wine, is that not allowed?"
"Can anyone attend our king's wedding?"
The little monster snorted coldly, "If tonight is not our king's big day, just for a monk like you to appear in our king's territory, you will have to keep your head."
"The Golden Eyed King you mentioned is bloodthirsty?"
"Killing a monk is no big deal. Our king likes to eat him alive with tender skin and smooth meat... It's a pity that you have too much muscle, which may not suit our king's taste."
“It’s so scary.”
"Hmph, monk, get out of the way. I don't have time to continue talking nonsense with you. If I delay the king's wedding night, neither you nor I will be able to bear the consequences."
Faced with the little monster's domineering tone, Pinggong Qianye sighed, raised the Zen stick in his hand and smashed it down, causing the entire ground to shake.
The little monster who was hit first fell to the ground, his previously defiant eyes now filled with fear and panic.
"Now, can I go to attend the wedding of your Golden Eye King?"
"You, you... Senior Monk, of course you can go and participate."
The little monster immediately changed his expression, rubbed his two little hands together, and smiled, "Master Monk, I will lead the way for you right away."
The lantern demon and the black bear demon behind him, who didn't have much intelligence, just watched the scene quietly and followed the little monster.
As for the fact that there was one more monk in the team, that was not a problem they should worry about.
On the way, Pinggong Qianye learned a lot of things from the little monster.
It is a red fox that cultivated into a demon. Because it accidentally ate a strange herb, it could never grow taller, but it is quite intelligent.
After meeting the King of Golden Pupils, he was subdued by him and became the so-called messenger of God.
The hobby of the Golden Eyed King, as it calls it, besides eating humans, is to get married, especially human girls, who are its favorite.
To this end, it developed three villages nearby and visited each village every year. If it saw a girl it liked, it would give a betrothal gift overnight and then marry the girl.
The final destiny of every girl is to become a golden collection.
The little monster Red Fox didn't know much about what was going on and didn't dare to ask about it on weekdays.
It did say a lot about the mountain king nearby.
There are three other monsters like the Golden Eyed King who rule the land, but they are hostile to each other and rarely interact with each other on a daily basis.
When Pinggong Qianye asked King Jintong what kind of creature he had cultivated into a spirit, the little monster hesitated and did not dare to speak.
It is said that the Golden Eyed King hates people mentioning his origin the most, and any monster who dares to talk about this will be killed by him.
"You little demon, you clearly still have the intention of following that golden-eyed king in your heart."
The Moon Doll, who had been sitting on Pinggong Qianye's shoulder and watching the show, spoke.
"Hey, are you a monster too?"
The red fox looked up at the moon doll with curiosity.
"Heh, I'm not comparable to you little monsters."
"That's right, that's right. You are the pet raised by the monk, the one he loves, right?"
"Begging for a beating!"
The moon doll bends its finger, and a ray of hazy moonlight falls, making the red fox dizzy and unable to stand steadily.
After recovering for a while, it didn't dare to open its mouth and say anything nonsense.
The team carrying the sedan chair walked along the mountain path for more than an hour, crossing a mountain and two mountain streams before arriving outside a cave.
Outside the cave is a spacious flat area. At this moment, many little monsters are busy outside.
Most of them are relatively intelligent monkeys. They stand upright and jump up and down like humans. Some carry gifts, some carry wine jars, and some hold fruits.
Other monsters include wild boars, eagles, stone monsters, etc.
Chihu explained to Pinggong Qianye that this should be King Silver Eye, the sworn brother of King Golden Eye.
This Silver-Eyed King also has great magical powers and a great background, and has always been on good terms with the Golden-Eyed King.
But it would not come to congratulate every time King Golden Eyed got married. It would only come here if King Golden Eyed personally sent an invitation to a banquet.
"Master, you must be careful of the vertical eye between the brows of the Silver-Eyed King."
The red fox whispered something to Pinggong Qianye.
Pinggong Qianye just nodded and didn't say much.
When we arrived in front of the cave, we saw two wild boar monsters holding steel forks guarding the door.
The red fox stepped forward and chatted with them in a very familiar manner for a while, and then successfully led Pinggong Qianye into the cave.
"Their intelligence is generally not high. Some monsters were forcibly transformed into monsters by the King of Golden Eyes using magic."
"It's the same with the other great kings. Most of the minions under their command are born out of necessity. In your human world, this is called recruiting and increasing the number of troops."
As the red fox introduced, it led Pinggong Qianye deeper into the cave. After walking for a distance, it lowered its voice and said, "Master, later, when you meet General Yasha, you don't need to say anything. I will handle everything."
The so-called General Yaksha is a bat spirit who ranks below the King of Golden Eyes and commands all monsters.
It is much more powerful than the average little monster and has transformed into a humanoid creature with wings on its back and four limbs.
He patrols the cave day and night and is the most loyal subordinate of King Jintong.
As the sedan chair turned another corner, Pinggong Chiye saw the Yasha general.
It had two broken black wings on its back, a flat bat face, human-like limbs, and held two small steel forks. It kept flying and hovering in the air. Seeing the wedding party returning, it flew over and landed on the head of the little demon red fox, and its eyes quickly shifted to Pinggong Qianye.
"Red Fox, why is there a man in this wedding party?"
"This is the pet that Grandma Guishu took in."
The red fox explained very naturally, and then directed General Yasha's gaze to the moon doll sitting on Pinggong Qianye's shoulder.
"Grandma Guishu, which mountain is this monster from? Did the king invite her to a banquet?"
"Of course, Grandma Guishu is best at brewing osmanthus honey, and King Silver Eyes loves sweets, so King Golden Eyes specifically asked me to go and invite Grandma Guishu."
"So that's it."
General Yasha circled around Ping Gong Qian Ye and the Moon Doll a few times and muttered, "This pet looks quite burly."
"You don't understand. Grandma Guishu likes strong men the most."
"Too."
General Yasha's limited wisdom, which was smaller than a walnut kernel, made it no longer doubt anything. It made way and allowed Pinggong Chiye to follow Huaqiao into the cave.
After passing the level of Yasha General, Moon Doll stood up, leaned close to Pinggong Qianye's ear and whispered with a smile: "My dear, Master Liansheng."
Pinggong Qianye did not say anything, but just glanced at the red fox leading the way in front. The red fox was so frightened that its hair stood on end and even its walking posture became a little stiff.
"Master Liansheng, if you have no objection, then you will be my personal pet from now on."
The voice of Yaezakura Jingu transmitted through the moon doll was filled with excitement and joy that was difficult to conceal.
Pinggong Qianye reached out and grabbed the moon doll off his shoulder, and flicked its head a few times with his left hand.
"No, personal attacks are prohibited!"
This clear and sweet voice is even more delicate than that of the girl that King Golden Eyed married before.
The red fox leading the way in front felt emotional, and then an idea occurred to him: could it be that this eminent monk was a playboy?
This is clearly the sound of flirting.
The red fox trembled, not daring to think any further, and obediently led the way.
After about 3 minutes, we arrived at the deepest part of the cave, an empty stalactite cave with many gorgeous and colorful gems inlaid on the surrounding rock walls.
Right in front of the cave, there are two chairs, one made of gold and the other of silver.
Sitting on each of them is a monster, the King of Golden Eyes and the King of Silver Eyes.
One had golden skin, a lion's head, strong and sturdy human-like limbs covered with golden hair, and a faint golden glow deep in his eyes.
The other one was silver-white all over, with facial features similar to those of a human, but with a lot of silver-gray hair on his face. He had long limbs, wore a black suit, and was fiddling with a cigar in his hand.
With just two glances, Pinggong Qianye could clearly see their respective origins.
The so-called King of Golden Eyes is a lion spirit, and the King of Silver Eyes is a silver leaf monkey.
"Reporting to the king, the bride has arrived in a sedan chair."
The red fox spoke with reluctance, his voice trembling, his limbs shaking, his head lowered, not daring to look up at the golden-eyed king sitting in his seat.
"A human, no, a monk!"
The King of Golden Eyes was furious, and his eyes shining with golden light swept towards the red fox, and two golden lights shot out.
Hum.
Hearing the Golden Eyed King's anger, the Red Fox thought he was dead this time, but a Dharma bowl appeared suspended in front of him, blocking the light from the Golden Eyed King's pupils that could turn everything into gold.
The pupil light shone on the Dharma bowl, dyeing the originally dark yellow Dharma bowl into golden yellow, which was extremely dazzling.
“What a magical power.”
Pinggong Qianye looked at the golden bowl floating in front of the red fox and gave a rare compliment.
His praise was absolutely sincere. Even though he knew it was a sorcery, his ability to turn stone into gold was indeed enviable.
If he could catch this monster and make it turn stones into gold every day, he wouldn't have to work so hard to earn money to build the temple.
Unfortunately, this is just a magic trick to deceive people.
What is fake will always be fake.
Pinggong Qianye sighed, and shook the Dharma bowl lightly. The golden coating on the surface disappeared, revealing its original appearance.
"You are not a simple monk. Which temple did you practice in?"
King Golden Eyes had a solemn expression on his face and became much more cautious when speaking.
"A monster like you would also learn to worship the mountain?"
"Heh, monk, don't try to annoy me."
King Jintong snorted coldly, "Tonight is my wedding day, if you leave wisely, I won't make things difficult for you."
"What if I want to make things difficult for you?"
"Monk, you must not refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!"
King Golden Eyes stood up from his seat and roared at Pinggong Qianye. The sound waves turned into a golden lion galloping towards him.
Lion's roar?
Pinggong Qianye's heart moved slightly, and he gathered all his strength and roared like a lion towards the Golden Eyed King.
Roar!
The roar was deafening, cracking rocks and piercing the clouds, echoing throughout the entire cave, causing the entire cave to begin shaking, with rocks constantly falling.
Not until the roar faded away did the shaking of the entire cave gradually stop.
The red fox, who had already covered his ears, endured the dizziness and discomfort, and quickly hid in the corner, taking a quick look.
Amid the billowing smoke and dust, the originally majestic King Golden Eyes was shaken by the roar and fell onto the mountain wall behind him, with his entire body sunken into it.
The silver-eyed king was sitting in his seat, his black suit tattered, his eyes filled with dullness and fear.
Snapped.
The body of the Golden Eyed King fell from the mountain wall.
The monk who stood still, holding a Zen staff, walked to the front of the Golden Eyed King and placed the head of the staff on the Golden Eyed King's head.
Obviously, the outcome of life and death has been decided
"Master, please spare my life, don't kill me. Actually, I am also a Buddhist."
King Golden Eyed, who was slowly waking up, felt the heavy aura of the Zen staff on his head. His body trembled violently and he begged for mercy in a hurry.
