I created the entertainment era in Journey to the West

Chapter 428 Anecdotes about Chen Guanzhuang
Thinking of this, Chen Qing couldn't help feeling sad.

Although his youngest son Chen Guanbao was born in a concubine's room, he loved this youngest son very much.

Now in order not to offend the king of inspiration, it must be offered.

How could Chen Qing not be heartbroken?

If it is said that the King of Inspiration only wants the people of Chenguanzhuang to enshrine boys and girls, the key is that it only wants the children of the people of Chenguanzhuang, not their own.

If it is found out that they are not parents and children, then they will be furious!
This made those rich and noble families who planned to buy and sell children to make up for it lost hope one after another, and became even more helpless.

You can only offer your own children.

Chen Qing is one of them.

Although he was also in a sad mood, but as the head of the family, he could only pat his concubine on the shoulder, hugged her into his arms, and comforted her: "Don't cry, we will be reborn later."

"But even if you regenerate, Bao'er won't be able to come back!"

The concubine cried louder.

When Chen Qing heard the words, he was at a loss for words. Just when he didn't know what to say, a servant's voice suddenly came from outside the yard.

"master!"

"It's not a big deal, sir!!"

Chen Qing was startled, turned around quickly, and looked outside the door.

The servant who called out also ran into the door at this time.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

Chen Qing grabbed the servant's shoulder and asked anxiously.

The servant propped his hands on his knees, panted heavily, and then replied: "The King of Inspiration... The King of Inspiration has manifested himself, and we want everyone in Chenguanzhuang to go to the Temple of the King of Inspiration to meet him!"

"what?!"

Chen Qing and his concubine were shocked when they heard this, "Isn't it not the time yet, why did the king of inspiration come?"

"I don't even know the little one!"

The servant shook his head, "The old man only said to let everyone go!"

"When the little one came back, many people in the village had already rushed over. Master, let's hurry over too, otherwise if you offend the king of inspiration, it will be a bad thing!"

Hearing what the servant said, what else can Chen Qing do?
He sighed, and said to the servant: "You tell the uncle about this, and let him ask a scale of gold to bring it over."

"Hey, let's go, little one."

After seeing off the servant, Chen Qing looked at the concubine again.

"Yu'er, ask the servant girl to bring Xiaobao here." He looked worried, "Although I don't know what the purpose of King Inspiration came here this time, our Xiaobao and Yicheng Jin will definitely not escape this disaster."

……

Chen Guanzhuang, inspired by Dawang Temple.

The square was crowded with people, and the people of Chenguanzhuang with their families and children were whispering to each other, with a lot of confusion on their faces.

Although the king of inspiration suddenly appeared and summoned everyone to meet.

But they didn't feel so scared.

There was no family that packed up their clothes and ran away directly.

In the final analysis, the king of inspiration is very trustworthy, except for Chen Guanzhuang offering two boys and girls every year, there is no ambiguity in the matter of protecting Chen Guanzhuang.

If it hadn't been offered to young children every year, the people of Chenguanzhuang would actually respect it from the bottom of their hearts.

But it's just the wishful thinking of the people in Chenguanzhuang.

So after hearing that the King of Inspiration appeared in person.

They were asked to meet in front of the temple, and the people of Chenguanzhuang quickly came to hear what the king of inspiration had to announce.

The only hope is.

Don't come here to tell them that there will be more offerings in the future.

In the temple, King Inspiration straightened his clothes and asked the banshee beside him, "Beauty, have you brought all those children here?"

The banshee nodded lightly, "They are all asleep in the back!"

"Well, that's fine!"

The king of inspiration nodded in satisfaction.

He immediately turned his head and called a little demon, "Go outside and ask, is everyone in Chenguanzhuang here?"

"My lord, wait a moment!"

The little demon hurriedly ran out of the temple and called an old human man.

This old man is a villager from Chenguanzhuang, and he was the abbot who built the Inspiration King Temple back then, so he was not too scared when he saw the Inspiration King with a red fish head on his head.

Instead, he saluted respectfully, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"old……"

Instinctively, the king of inspiration wanted to call out "old man".

But suddenly remembered that Du Fei said before that he should take the initiative to get along with the people of Chenguanzhuang in harmony, friendship and intimacy.

Thinking of this, his lazy expression suddenly changed.

"Uh heh heh heh."

The King of Inspiration hastily changed his expression of what he thought was kind.

Smiling, he stretched out his hand to help, and at the same time said to the old man: "Old man, please get up quickly, come on, bring a chair over here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yao quickly moved over a chair.

The king of inspiration immediately put the chair in front of the old man with his own hands, "Come on, old man, you sit first!"

Seeing this scene, old man Chen couldn't help being a little dazed.

Are you dreaming?
This monster actually handed him a chair with his own hands?
Moreover, he has met the King of Inspiration many times before, when has he ever seen the King of Inspiration so amiable?

Old man Chen felt a sudden chug in his heart.

There seems to be something wrong!

Isn't this monster planning some kind of conspiracy?

He was beating drums in his heart, but still bit the bullet, and cautiously asked tentatively: "My lord, I don't know if you asked me to come here, do you have any orders?"

"oops!"

"How can you talk about the word 'command'?"

The King of Inspiration chuckled, "I just want to ask the old man, have all the people in the village arrived?"

hiss……

Hearing this, old man Chen's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

The king of inspiration doesn't think that two virgin boys and girls are too few every year, so he is going to wipe out all the people in Chenguanzhuang?

He thought for a while, and finally replied: "There are still two households left."

"It's still two households away?"

The King of Inspiration rubbed his chin, "Forget it, there is no shortage of them, just these people in front of the temple are enough!"

Old Man Chen: (oAo Chuan)
This is really going to wipe out Chen Guanzhuang! !
The king of inspiration didn't notice the drastic change in old man Chen's face, but stood up and said to the little demon beside him: "Little ones, when you hear my king's password later, help the beauty bring everything here."

"do you understand?"

"Understood, Your Majesty!" xN
The king of inspiration nodded in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to support old man Chen, "Old man, accompany me to meet the people of Chenguanzhuang!"

When old man Chen heard this, his face immediately looked like weeping.

He became a sinner this time!

Actually sent the people in the village into the tiger's mouth, no, into the fish's mouth!
Looking at all the vicious monsters in the temple, old man Chen felt ashamed, thinking that the people of Chenguanzhuang must be doomed, so he let the king of inspiration support him and walked out of the temple.

The two of them just appeared at the temple gate.

Seeing King Inspiration and old man Chen, the noisy people of Chen Guanzhuang fell silent instantly.

The appearance of the king of inspiration is basically exactly the same as the statue in the temple.

So they weren't too frightened.

There was only a slight commotion before calming down.

King Inspiration was very satisfied with his influence among the people of Chenguanzhuang. He immediately waved to the people and put on what he thought was a "friendly" expression.

Then he smiled and said: "Hello folks, I am your old neighbor, the inspiration king of Tongtianhe."

"Speaking of which, our friendship has been going on for many years."

"But everyone has always misunderstood me!"

The king of inspiration pointed to himself, "The people in the village say that the king likes to eat boys and girls!"

Speaking of this, his expression changed, and he said seriously: "So, my lord must say something for himself today. This is a pure rumor and shameless slander. My lord is a vegetarian."

"Don't talk about boys and girls, they don't even eat a piece of meat!"

When the people of Chenguanzhuang heard the words, they couldn't help but look at each other with weird faces.

Are monsters so shameless?
Do you want to eat meat.

So where are the boys and girls that our Chenguanzhuang enshrines every year?
The expressions of the people in Chenguanzhuang naturally did not escape the eyes of King Inspiration, he cleared his throat, "My King knows that you must be thinking now, if I don't eat virgins."

"What do you need to offer a pair of virgin boys and girls every year?"

"Ugh……"

"My lord can only say that I have difficulties."

The King of Inspiration let out a long sigh, met the puzzled eyes of the people in Chenguanzhuang, and said, "Actually, this matter is related to a childhood wish that I buried deep in my heart."

The king of inspiration began to fool around.

The people of Chenguanzhuang don't know what kind of medicine is sold in its gourd.

I can only stand quietly under the stage and listen to the inspirational king.

Immediately, the king of inspiration showed nostalgia in his eyes, and said leisurely: "My original form is a little goldfish. Before I had no form, I would often meet a human child telling me stories on the shore."

"Over time, we became friends."

"She also put me in a water basin, leading me to see many interesting things in the world."

"And as a friend, I also want to take her to the bottom of the water to see the colorful underwater world, but she is just a mortal, unable to breathe in the water, and she will never have this opportunity until she dies."

"Later, I practiced Taoism and transformed into a human being."

"I wanted to build an interesting paradise underwater, so that ordinary people on land can see the colorful underwater world."

"But what kind of underwater park is fun?"

"I do not know."

"But I think something that kids like must be fun!"

At this point, the king of inspiration stopped talking, and looked at the people of Chenguanzhuang who were already confused and didn't know why.

"therefore!"

"I want you to offer virgin boys and girls every year."

"The purpose is to let them give advice to my king!"

The king of inspiration is a smart fish.

Although he asked the people of Chenguanzhuang to make offerings to boys and girls every year in order to lure Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice, and he also protected those children very well, but after he went to Heifeng Mountain, he realized one thing.

That's how powerful the Terran stereotype of youkai is.

Even if he returns these children to the people of Chenguanzhuang, they may not necessarily regard him as a good monster.

After all, the human race has a saying:

"Nothing to be diligent about, either a traitor or a thief!"

Naturally, it is impossible for me to tell these mortals the truth about being arranged by Guanyin Bodhisattva, so I either keep my mouth shut, or I have to make up a reason for the offering of virgin boys and girls.

Du Fei said that he would help it build an underwater park in Tongtian River, which gave the inspiration king a little inspiration.

Use the excuse of the staff of the underwater park to prevaricate the people of Chenguanzhuang.

Although this excuse sounds absurd.

However, as long as the underwater park is completed.

The excuse used to deceive the people of Chenguanzhuang has become true!
After all, the underwater park has indeed been built. As for whether the children made suggestions and provided ideas, no one will really pursue it. They will only think that the king of inspiration is a monster, and he can deal with it!
It is true to say that it is to build an underwater park.

It's not for cheating.

Sure enough, after hearing the words of King Inspiration, some people who had been suppressed for a long time because of the loss of their parents and children couldn't help asking:

"Does anyone have to pay for a plan?"

"A new child every year?"

"That's right, it's been so many years, boys and girls are enshrined every year, but I've never heard of any underwater park!"

In front of the King of Inspiration, he questioned so harshly.

These people obviously don't want to live anymore.

And they do.

Many families who have lost their children have been immersed in the pain of losing their children and cannot extricate themselves. Now the monster who ate their children is still talking nonsense in a high-sounding manner. How can they not be angry?
Seeing this, the other people hurried to pull these people away.

Although these people don't want to live, they still don't want to die!

Annoyed the king of inspiration, it called the wind and rain to bring disasters on Chenguanzhuang, but no one can bear it!

However, the king of inspiration was not angry at all.

Instead, he smiled and said: "That's right, it makes sense. My Majesty called everyone here this time to solve these matters. My Majesty also has answers to your questions."

The attitude of the king of inspiration made the people of Chenguanzhuang a little surprised. When did this king of monsters have such a good temper?

Even old man Chen was full of surprise.

Could it be that I misunderstood the king of inspiration before?

Seeing that the people in Chenguanzhuang looked at him suspiciously, the king of inspiration smiled, and then explained:

"First, we need new boys and girls every year to listen to the suggestions and preferences of children in different periods. Second, the underwater park has now been officially confirmed, and there is no need for everyone to enshrine new boys and girls to my king in the future. .”

"third!"

Looking at the shocked-looking people of Chenguanzhuang, King Inspiration raised his third finger.

"The children in the past are all fine."

"My Majesty sent them back today!"

Speaking of this, the king of inspiration rushed into the temple and clapped his hands. Soon, the glamorous banshee and a group of little demons came out leading a dozen boys and girls.

It has been six years since King Inspiration was appointed by Guanyin Bodhisattva to Tongtianhe.

So, there are only twelve children in total.

The oldest one is only ten years old.

In addition, the king of inspiration has long prepared a retreat for himself, so each of these children is white and fat, and they don't look like they are suffering at all, and they don't look sad at all.

On the contrary, they were all very excited and looked very happy.

"Dog!"

Seeing the child, there was a sudden cry of surprise from the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, other common people who offered their own children also found their own children, and rushed up excitedly.

"Father, mother!"

Those children who left home not long ago were also pleasantly surprised.

The king of inspiration waved his hand, signaling his subordinates not to stop him.

Looking at the crowd huddled together, crying and laughing, the king of inspiration was extremely proud, and finally saved his reputation.

After reading this, it looked back at the people of Chenguanzhuang below.

"How about it?"

"My lord didn't lie to you, did he?"

Although they were extremely astonished and shocked by the results in front of them, the people of Chenguanzhuang quickly came to their senses.

Especially Chen Qing's family, after confirming that the king of inspiration did not eat the boys and girls enshrined in previous years, and would not ask Chen Guanzhuang to enshrine boys and girls in the future, they immediately wept with joy.

He directly pulled the whole family to bow down to the King of Inspiration:

"Thank you King of Inspiration!!"
