Chapter 423: The Ambition of Demon King Peng
Chapter 423: The Ambition of Demon King Peng
The Lion Camel Kingdom is a small country in the Western Regions with a territory of only 800 miles. There is only one big city in the country, named Lion Camel City.
At the south gate of Lion City, the monsters hung lanterns and decorations, cleaned the streets, and lined up to welcome them.
On the road leading to the south gate of Lion City, a gorgeous open-top carriage with eight carriages was moving slowly. Wherever it went, the monsters lined up on both sides of the road cheered and shouted.
"Warmly welcome the arrival of the Great Saint Yuxiong King, the God-Exorcist!"
"Long live the Demonic Alliance!"
"The strong will unite to unify the three realms!"
……
There are many species of monsters, and the languages of different species and tribes are different. Although the slogans are similar, the sounds they make are noisy and chaotic, more like the howling of a group of animals in a zoo.
The howling of wolves, roaring of tigers, the cry of deer, the cry of cranes, and the howling of monkeys are just like a carnival of beasts and a dance of demons.
The carriage was very spacious. The four monkeys, as distinguished guests, sat in the carriage accompanied by the Demon King Peng.
The cart was pulled not by horses, but by thirty-two naked strong men.
The driver was a horse-headed monster, who whipped the driver with a whip and kept shouting, "Gee, gee, gee!"
The monkeys transformed by the three immortals Longji, Nezha and Taibai Jinxing all felt uncomfortable when they saw this strange scene, but they could only try their best to restrain themselves.
The giant golden monkey that Wen Rui had transformed into clapped his hands and acted, "Interesting, interesting. When I get back I'll catch some people and keep them in the stable. When I go out I'll ask them to pull carts and put on a show."
Demon King Peng showed a nostalgic look and said, "Ten thousand years ago, when my demon race was strong, the human race was like pigs and dogs. The carts were pulled by the stronger witches. Now it is difficult to reproduce the prosperous scene of the past."
During the conversation, the carriage passed through the gate of Lion City and drove into the city.
At first glance, the Lion City seems to be quite prosperous, with a large number of monsters scattered throughout the streets and alleys.
Monsters frequently appear in and out of shops and houses along the street.
It is:
The colorful tiger is the governor, and the white-faced hero is the commander-in-chief.
The deer with the horns of the fork passes on the quotations, and the clever fox is in charge.
A thousand-foot python besieged the city, and a ten thousand-foot long snake occupied the distance.
Downstairs the wolf called for orders, and the leopard in front of the stage made the human voice.
There are monsters waving the flag and beating the drums, and all the mountain spirits are on the patrol.
The cunning rabbit opens the door to do business, and the wild boar takes the burden to make a living.
In addition to the monsters, the human race in the city was not extinct either. Some were forced to work hard like cattle and horses under the supervision of the monsters, while others were simply sent to fenced prisons for custody. From time to time, a few people were dragged out by the monsters, slaughtered, cut into pieces, and sold in the market. When the monkeys and their four disciples arrived in the city in later generations, the people in the city had been eaten to extinction five hundred years ago, leaving only the monsters to occupy the city.
Today, the human race is still struggling to survive, being enslaved and used as livestock, but it seems that in such a harsh living environment, the population cannot be maintained for long, and the day of extinction is not far away.
When Long Ji and the other three immortals saw this scene, they all frowned secretly, unable to bear to watch.
There is no harm without comparison. Although both humans and demons live together, Liberty City is so prosperous, civilized, harmonious and progressive. The demons have used their talents to build their homeland and have put in much more effort than humans.
The group of monsters in the Lion Country displayed the savage and cruel side of the monster race vividly. From the original buildings of this city, it can be seen that this small country in the Western Regions was once prosperous and peaceful, but is now devastated by disasters.
The houses were dilapidated and run-down, the roads were bumpy and uneven, the city was filled with a foul stench, and there was no order at all.
"How is it, my demon country in the human world, is it prosperous and strong, and thriving?"
Demon King Peng had no idea what was going on, and was still boasting with pride: "In our demon kingdom, demons are first-class citizens, and all other races are inferior. They all have to serve our demon race and provide for the demons. In the future, if our demon race takes over the world and enslaves all humans, we will all be herders, raising people and animals, and have no worries about food and clothing."
"Will the enslaved, slaughtered and eaten human race not resist?"
Wen Rui just smiled and pretended to agree without saying anything, but Princess Longji couldn't suppress her anger and asked in a bad tone.
"Resist?" Demon King Peng laughed wildly as if he had heard a huge joke. "Hahaha, there are some Qi cultivators in the mortal world who have cultivated some skills, but even if they become immortals, who can be my opponent? The world has changed. The spiritual energy is so exhausted. It is not as easy for humans to become immortals as in ancient times. Only by eating people, capturing souls, raising ghosts, and grabbing endless evil energy can we make rapid progress."
"What about the gods and immortals in heaven?" Princess Longji was not willing to be outdone and asked, "They will not sit idly by and watch the human race suffer such a catastrophic disaster."
"The mother monkey's view is really short-sighted." The Demon King Peng was annoyed by the question and said unhappily: "Who said that the human race raised by my demon race will definitely die out?"
He looked like he understood a lot, and spoke eloquently: "Will the herdsmen on the grasslands herd sheep and horses to the point of extinction? On the contrary, they will breed more and more. Now it is only the starting stage of the demon nation, and it demands more from the human race. When it takes over the world, it will be able to continue to eat humans, force breeding to increase the population, and then raise them fat and slaughter them. The human race will only grow more and more, doesn't it just meet the prophecy of 'the great rise of the human race'?"
"Hey, being like a beast of burden is also called a great honor for the human race?"
Princess Longji was speechless for a moment because of his twisted logic.
"Humans will become cattle and horses sooner or later. At least the vast majority of humans are destined to become cattle and horses in the future. It's just that the way they are raised will be different."
Wen Rui said meaningfully: "The way the demons raise humans now is a bit rough, but the times will progress. In the future, with scientific breeding and religious brainwashing, maybe humans will be happy with it. Right, brother Pengmo?"
"Brother Yuxiong is truly a talented member of the demon clan. What you said is absolutely right!"
Demon King Peng nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "When I unify the human world, I will send some Western scriptures to the human races everywhere to read, so that the human race can learn the principle of reincarnation, and tell them that suffering in this life is for the sake of happiness in the next life. Many mortals in Xi Niu Hezhou now believe this. By then, even if they suffer, they will not feel it is bitter. Maybe their hearts will be full of pride, and they will have a unique and strange peace and kindness."
At this point, he stroked his chin and said, "At worst, we can give some faith to the Taoist gods in heaven, so that they can worship both the Western Buddhas and the Eastern gods. They only know how to worship gods and Buddhas every day and hope for salvation from gods and Buddhas. The more they suffer, the purer their piety will be. They will definitely be much more obedient than those who learn a bunch of messed up things, have wild thoughts in their heads, and delusionally think that the human race is the master of the three realms."
At this point, he smiled and looked at the orangutan that Princess Longji had transformed into, and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me, whether it's gods or Buddhas, don't they like the human race that reproduces more and more and is extremely pious and respectful to them? Why do they want to attack me and destroy a living liver like me?"
