Chapter 364: The Demon-Suppressing Divine Chicken General
Chapter 364: The Demon-Suppressing Divine Chicken General
"Master Tan, today I want to resolve the doubts in my heart and would like to ask for your advice." Fu Tianchou sat down.
Tan Wenjie glanced at the two heads sticking out from under the bed.
"Master Fu, please speak."
"If a demon enters the court again and infects all officials, how are we to distinguish them and what should we do?"
Distinguish? He doesn’t have a keen eye.
If you can't see it yourself, you can't teach others.
"There's nothing we can do. Monsters are good at changing into different forms. After they put on human skin, we can only smell their scent. Most experts who are good at catching monsters can only track them based on their experience."
The reason why the centipede demon is so rampant is closely related to the emperor's incompetence. He even appointed the other party as the protector of the country. No one else can take the blame except the emperor.
Tan Wenjie: "Isn't this what Master Fu wants to talk about?"
"Cough cough..."
Fu Tianchou picked up the cup and was about to drink.
"Why is there no tea?"
Finally someone noticed that there was no tea left.
You knew there was no tea, so why didn't you ask someone to bring some water?
Under Tan Wenjie's gaze, Fu Tianchou finally said, "Master Tan, are you willing to sell me the divine chicken?"
"Bang" the sound of heads colliding came from under the bed.
Fu Tianchou subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the bed.
"Oh!"
Tan Wenjie slammed the table suddenly, frightening Fu Tianchou so much that he trembled and turned around nervously to look.
Although he knew that Tan Wenjie would be unhappy, Fu Tianchou still expected that he would suddenly slam the table.
Fu Tianchou's spies had already informed the emperor of the news that today the divine chicken had demonstrated its power in catching a monster. After the task was accomplished, the emperor did not want to release the chicken, but put it in a cage.
How could such a magical chicken be in the hands of a mountain sorcerer? It would be a living treasure that would be covered in dust. It should be handed over to the imperial court.
But the emperor was timid and knew that Tan Wenjie lived in Fu's mansion, so he asked him to come and ask.
Seeing that Fu Tianchou didn't turn his head, and glancing at the two people who were sticking their heads out from under the bed to breathe like fish due to lack of oxygen, Tan Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not seen, otherwise he would have been forced to become the son-in-law of the Fu family.
"Don't mention this matter again, Master Fu."
"This..." Fu Tianchou sighed, thinking that Tan Wenjie was angry because someone was paying attention to the magical chicken he raised.
"A demon appeared in the palace, and the emperor couldn't sleep or eat well, so he wanted the divine chicken to accompany him..."
"Whether a country has demon cholera has something to do with whether the emperor is wise. If he is truly a wise monarch, no demon would dare to enter the palace even if he was asked."
A dynasty on the verge of extinction can help the centipede demon transform into a dragon. If it is a truly powerful dynasty, even the gods would not dare to provoke it.
Fu Tianchou: "..."
How could he not know that the emperor was incompetent?
Demons only wreak havoc at night and in remote mountains and deserted temples, but the people's lack of food and rampant banditry are related to those in power.
"How to resolve it?" Fu Tianchou asked.
This time he was asking for advice sincerely.
"Hasn't Master Fu already thought of this?"
"Sorry for disturbing you." Fu Tianchou stood up expressionlessly.
After seeing Fu Tianchou off, Tan Wenjie quickly closed the door and turned to look at the bed.
"Come out."
"Ouch" x2
The two men crawled out from under the bed, silent.
Cheeks flushed.
"I can't promise you anything. There's a thousand-year-old demon waiting for me to kill. If you..."
He hadn't finished the second half of his sentence.
"We're waiting for you!" X2
The two sisters turned and looked at each other.
Then he spoke again: "My sister and I will wait for you!"
Sisters as close as sisters are not as good as real sisters.
Tan Wenjie himself was embarrassed to continue pretending to be a gentleman. He really didn't want to win over both the elder and younger sisters-in-law.
"As for my father," Fu Qingfeng asked carefully, "Did he receive an order from the palace?"
"Don't worry." Tan Wenjie said, "I will leave tonight. They dare not trouble me."
It was a trivial matter that the rooster was detained or robbed, he could always raise a new rooster, but he was not satisfied with the emperor's actions.
"What about my father?" Fu Yuechi asked subconsciously.
"Your father is the only minister in the court now. The emperor won't bother him."
He said it rather implicitly.
The imperial court's luck had run out, and the dragon energy had been almost completely stolen by Pudu Cihang.
Fu Tianchou is the only important official in the court today. It can be said that if Fu Tianchou has any small ideas, the throne will really be the turn of someone with the surname Fu.
With his words, Fu Tianchou might have some thoughts now even though he didn't have any before.
Thinking of this, Tan Wenjie took out a lucky gold coin.
The gold coins, which had absorbed the dragon's energy and had their effect increased a thousand times, were shining with yellow light, which was very magical.
"Tell Master Fu that if he is ready to save the world, he should keep this gold coin close to his body and never leave it day or night."
"What is this?" Fu Qingfeng asked puzzledly after taking the gold coin.
"A good thing that can save the world. Tell him what I said, and he will understand."
Since anyone can be emperor, Tan Wenjie doesn't mind using dragon energy to help his future father-in-law open a little cheat and give him a little push.
Thinking carefully about my life, I have found that few wives are great, so why am I only cultivating my father-in-law?
……
That night.
Suddenly, there was thunder. The big roosters that were locked in the iron cage and had eaten their fill suddenly burst into thunder. Under the horrified gaze of the guards, the big roosters flew into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
The next day, morning.
Fu Tianchou changed his clothes and was about to go out when his two daughters came to him.
"This is what Hero Tan asked us to give to you. He has already left."
"This is?"
Looking at the gold coins in his hand, Fu Tianchou was puzzled.
"Hero Tan said that if you want to save the world, it can help you."
"help me?"
Fu Tianchou was puzzled, but then he thought of the core of the problem that Tan Wenjie had deliberately mentioned when they were chatting last night.
He was shocked and felt the gold coin was hot when he took it.
After leaving the Fu Mansion, Fu Tianchou sat in the sedan chair, frowning and thinking hard, until the sedan chair was suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
Fu Tianchou asked.
The sedan bearer beside him whispered, "It's the eunuch from the palace."
"Master Fu, something terrible has happened." A duck-like voice was heard from outside.
"What's the matter?" Fu Tianchou got out of the sedan chair.
He did fear eunuchs in the past, but perhaps he was influenced by what Tan Wenjie said last night, and now he just thought that eunuchs were hateful.
"Last night, the divine chicken turned into thunder and flew into the sky. The emperor asked me to come and look for Master Fu. Do you know how the Immortal Tan is doing?"
"This matter." Fu Tianchou thought for a moment and said, "I was just about to talk about this matter, there is no time to lose."
"Okay, okay, Master Fu, please go quickly!"
After entering the palace, Fu Tianchou saw the emperor with a swollen face and weak energy. For some reason, he suddenly had the idea of "I can replace him". He was shocked.
"Mr. Fu, will that immortal be angry?"
Seeing the other party's cowardly appearance, Fu Tianchou was furious.
How can we govern the world with such trash?
Fu Tianchou thought for a moment and said, "Robbering the immortal's divine chicken must have made him angry. I heard that there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky last night. It must be the anger of the sky."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The emperor nodded repeatedly.
There were strange phenomena in the sky, like a bolt from the blue, and all the divine chickens that he had secretly hidden turned into lightning and flew away. This must have angered the gods, and God must be angry.
"Why not reward him handsomely for his accomplishments in dealing with the demons and let the world know about it."
"That's as it should be!" The emperor leaned forward and asked tentatively, "How about conferring a title and rewarding an official position for the immortal's meritorious service in curing the demon?"
Fu Tianchou shook his head: "The Immortal will not be greedy for the glory and wealth of our mortal world."
After careful observation, he found that Tan Wenjie was not greedy for money or lustful. Perhaps this was the realm of a god.
No, how can I not be lustful?
Holding the slightly warm gold coins in his palms, Fu Tianchou suddenly felt that it would be okay for his two daughters to marry gods.
"Since the immortal has no interest in fame, wealth and power, we will enthrone the divine chicken under his seat." The more the emperor thought about it, the more he thought that this could be done.
……
Tan Wenjie was taking a walk outside with his electric chicken.
Before, he was wondering how these guys could be caught in the cage so easily without any reaction. When they met again, he found out that it was the centipede monster that was too full and just wanted to take a nap.
"The evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger."
Strong demonic energy is definitely not a good thing. The magic thunder will turn into demonic thunder, and the effect of the five thunders will definitely be greatly reduced in the future.
Moreover, he did not need the big rooster to turn into a monster to help him. Without the orthodox thunder method to exorcise evil spirits, it might not have the fighting power of Chu Renmei even if he raised it for more than a hundred years. It was purely missing the point.
With so much energy and time, he might as well enter the [Secret Realm] more often and draw some powerful characters.
"Why not kill the chicken while it's still fat and eat it, and then I can raise it again?" Tan Wenjie looked at the electricity-generating chicken.
The more I think about it, the more feasible it seems. It would be inconvenient to eat it if it really turns into a monster with a chicken head and a human body.
Life didn't change much after returning to the Ma Mansion.
Just receive a golden Buddha every few days.
There is one more thing. Ma Wenjie went to the capital city specially to cancel the engagement. Fu Qingfeng did not say anything about things changing over time, but both parties cancelled the engagement happily.
Yan Chixia couldn't get used to living in the Ma Mansion and couldn't stand being served, so he took Shi'er away.
Also leaving with them was Zhiqiu Yiye, who also wanted to learn the art of wielding a sword.
Now only Tan Wenjie and Ning Caichen are left here temporarily. Tan Wenjie is used to being served, so he won't pursue a hard bed or mattress.
"Master Tan, the imperial edict has arrived!"
"Another imperial decree?"
When Tan Wenjie went out, he saw two handsome young men who looked like ladies.
The two of them winked at him softly.
It turned out that Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi came in disguise. Their appearance here showed that Fu Tianchou had made up his mind.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims," Fu Qingfeng began, "in the past, when demons and monsters were everywhere, the divine chicken made great contributions in subduing demons and monsters. I appoint the rooster that Immortal Tan sits on as the Great General of the Divine Chicken to Suppress Demons, grant him a golden seal, and build a temple to worship him.
Admire this. "
What happened? Not only was the big rooster appointed as a general, but a temple was also built for him.
This group of hotshots actually made it into the regular staff.
In addition to the imperial edict, he also received a golden seal with the words "General of the Demon-Suppressing Divine Chicken" written on it.
The emperor was called the Human Emperor and had the right to confer gods. The most famous ones were naturally Zhong Kui, Guan Yu, and Mazu, but they were all first worshipped by the people and then conferred titles.
The big rooster has a crooked head and looks silly. How can he be a general?
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but after being conferred the title, the evil aura on the big rooster seemed less arrogant.
"I'll spare you this time. I won't eat it for now."
