Chapter 984: Golden Hoop Pointing to the Sky, Spirits and Demons Protect Each Other
There is no point in distinguishing between spirits and demons in the world, and only by being rebellious can one attain enlightenment.
Sun Wukong didn't care whether the title of the Monkey King was bright and pure, or bloody and evil in the eyes of others.
As long as it has a clear conscience and lives freely in the world, it doesn't care about your human-demon clan feuds.
Those who come to pay respect are friends; those who come to make trouble are enemies. Monkeys are always very straightforward in their thinking.
Of course, it also asked about the origins of those demons who worshipped it.
This question, which was both sinful and helpless, put Sun Wukong in a dilemma.
"My lord, although I am a snake demon, I do have my own difficulties!"
"In the past, when I was just beginning to gain spiritual wisdom and could not speak, I formed a partnership with another spirit snake and practiced in a deep mountain, living a life without conflict with the world. However, because snake venom and snake gall are valuable, a hunter set a trap and captured my partner."
"I hurriedly chased after him, but arrived a step too late. I saw my partner being skinned, bones removed, flesh cut and gall dug out by the hunter. I was extremely angry! So I found an opportunity to quietly approach him and bit the hunter, causing him to die of the poison."
"Not long after, a large number of hunters entered the mountains and swept through the wilderness, turning my home into a mess. Countless wild creatures were killed... I couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Seeing the disaster approaching, I used magic to kill a few hunters and escaped from the deep mountains and forests."
"Who would have thought that after escaping, a demonic aura gradually emanated from his body, and the pure spiritual energy became mottled. He could no longer resist the urge to kill, and thus became known as a demon in the eyes of the world!"
"My Lord, please tell me, what did I do wrong? Is it only the human race that slaughters us wantonly, and we cannot fight back?!"
A snake demon shouted excitedly.
"Your Majesty! I have my own difficulties!"
"I was originally a wild wolf by a river. After eating some spiritual herbs, I gained spiritual wisdom."
"After gaining wisdom, I gradually understood the truth. For hundreds of years, I have not committed any sin of killing. I have sincerely cultivated myself... Later, I mated with a male wolf and gave birth to a litter of wolf cubs..."
"Humans are full of hypocrisy, claiming to be kind and benevolent, and the leader of all spirits, but they treat other species as pigs and grass! I live by the river, abide by the merits and righteousness, and have never hurt anyone. It's just that because the wolf cubs I gave birth to have strong spiritual energy from heaven, they were greedily captured by practitioners... In order to protect me from escaping, my wolf husband was beaten to death, and all the cubs were captured..."
"My children were pitiful. They were ruthlessly kidnapped when they were still young. The luckier ones survived with difficulty, but were scolded and turned into slaves, and no longer had the opportunity to practice spiritualism. The unlucky ones... I followed them all the way and saw the bones of my children in the pots in the homes of those practitioners!"
"I refused to accept it. How could I forget such a deep hatred? So, one night, I searched hard and finally found the home of one of the practitioners. I bit his wife to death and abandoned his children in the wilderness! I want them to taste my pain!"
A wolf demon revealed its true form, covered with wounds, and told Sun Wukong about its past hatred and pain.
"Your Majesty, there is also me! When I first began to gain spiritual wisdom, I was starving after practicing fasting for too long, so I ate a man who went up the mountain to chop wood... But no one ever told me that I could eat anything except humans! If you obey their rules and serve them, you are a simple spirit; if you harm people, you are a demon. This is just a shackle that the gods have put on us! I don't accept it!"
A bear demon yelled in a muffled voice.
"My lord, I don't accept it either!"
"Monkey King, I have my own difficulties!"
"Your Majesty..."
The demons cried out one after another. Although they were now riddled with sin, bloodthirsty and cruel, they were once pure-hearted spiritual beasts in the beginning.
Among them, there are ferocious beasts and gentle races; some cannot resist their greed and make mistakes on their own initiative; some are forced to become demons from spirits.
The rise of one race is often built on the corpses of other races.
From the perspective of the human race, it is understandable that in order to grow and develop for its own interests, humans inevitably squeeze the living space of other creatures.
From the perspective of other ethnic groups, what they often pursue is nothing more than fairness!
Why can humans hunt them wantonly, and then practice cultivation, and even have the opportunity to become immortals? Is it just because of the halo of being a darling of destiny? !
And if they fight back, they will be regarded as demons by the heavens and lose the hope of becoming immortals. At the same time, they will be hunted down by humans... Who can they tell about the pain in their hearts?
Listening to the shouts one after another and those bloody stories, Sun Wukong's eyes kept changing and he was so angry that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
"Fuck the demons! These are just unfair rules made by the gods in heaven!"
"Just stay in the Flower-Fruit Mountain. As long as you don't cause any trouble, I will protect you! If anyone dares to harm you, I will show you how I will deal with them!"
Sun Wukong has been king for a long time and has developed the thinking of a leader.
When it looks at those spirit beasts and demons that have transformed into strange shapes, it will subconsciously regard them as the same kind as itself, and naturally will have the consciousness of protecting them.
However, it still remembered the teachings of its ancestors, spent some time observing, eliminated some of the most vicious demons, and drove those demons that were completely addicted to bloodthirsty killing out of the Flower-Fruit Mountain.
These demons have truly lost their original nature and are extremely prone to going crazy. They will not only attack humans, but also any spiritual beasts, or even demons of the same kind.
Hearing that the powerful Monkey King was willing to take them in and protect them, many demons cheered.
The Monkey King wielded the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, pointed his finger at the sky, wore a phoenix-wing purple gold crown on his head, a golden chain mail armor on his body, and lotus silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet. He had a defiant expression and a mighty aura. How majestic and domineering he was! This scene is deeply engraved in the hearts of many spirits and monsters.
Since the fall of the Demon Emperor, the demon race has been leaderless. Not only have the big demons returned from the demon land to the human world and committed a large number of murders, but even the small demons that have grown locally have suffered a very painful life.
Under the guise of exorcising demons, humans can massacre them regardless of whether they are really guilty or not, and even spiritual beasts are affected.
The demons are in urgent need of a leader to stabilize this chaotic situation and find a safe place to live.
Some spiritual beasts who were unwilling to leave the Three Realms already had complaints and were unwilling to leave.
Although Anshan urged them to enter the spiritual world to survive and avoid humans, these three realms were originally the place where all races lived. Why should they leave the land where they have lived for generations? Is it because the gods are indifferent and humans are cruel and brutal?
The human race is at fault, it is the unfair law of heaven, they did not commit any mistakes on their own initiative, why should they hide away like a stray dog? !
Ever since Sun Wukong appeared and gradually became famous, an idea of resistance gradually appeared in the hearts of many spirits and monsters.
