Slaying demons at Lion Camel Ridge (31)
After the great battle ended, the immortals discussed the martial arts and supernatural Supernatural Ability of the Demon during the battle.
Only Ao Tu said he was going back for a meal and bid farewell to the other immortals.
A moment later, Ao Tu returned to Lion Camel City.
Many demons were killed or injured, and their True Spirit Soul were collected into two Gourd.
Ao Tu bestowed Spirit Pills upon the severely wounded Demon to heal their injuries.
Afterwards, Ao Tu went to see Tiger Vanguard.
Tiger Vanguard was slashed diagonally by Yaksha King, the wound running from his forehead to his jaw, blinding him. Had he not dodged in time, half his head would have been severed off.
Tiger Vanguard himself didn't seem to care much. Seeing Ao Tu come to see him, he laughed and said, "Your Great King, now that I have this scar, I'm even more imposing!"
Ao Tu laughed and said, "That's right. If we go out, those Little Demon who don't know you will mistake you for their Great King when they see you like this! But if it were anywhere else, it wouldn't matter. Your eyes are injured, your Nine Apertures are damaged, and your foundation is unstable. I can't ignore this. Bear with the pain, I'll treat you."
Upon hearing this, Tiger Vanguard repeatedly knelt down in gratitude.
Ao Tu took a small knife, the Pang Meng Blade he had used before, and cut off the scar that had healed on Tiger Vanguard. Then, using the Power of Creation, he made it grow an eye again.
Ao Tu then went to see the White Bone Spirit.
In terms of injuries, the White Bone Spirit was actually more severely injured than Tiger Vanguard, as her head had been severed. However, since she Lotus Root Incarnation, she had fully recovered.
Ao Tu glanced at her, then left.
Then we went to see Red Boy.
Upon entering the room, they saw Red Boy lying on the couch, his bottom bare and his body covered in ointment.
Upon seeing this, Ao Tu laughed and slapped his bottom, saying:
"You're so old, don't you know shame? Why aren't you wearing clothes?"
Red Boy, clutching his buttocks and with tears in his eyes, cried out, "It hurts! My entire body was charred by that two-headed thieving monk's lightning strike, and my wounds haven't healed yet. Your Great King, please continue to beat me!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Tu laughed and used his Power of Creation to make his entire body grow clean, white new skin and flesh, removing the scorched and damaged old skin and flesh, and even growing a new patch of hair on his head.
Red Boy was overjoyed and repeatedly knelt down to express his gratitude, saying, "Great! Great! Now I have the strength to eat Buddha Flesh!"
Ao Tu patted him on the head and laughed, "I hereby order you to lead the demons to start a fire so that those four monks can be steamed and enjoyed."
Red Boy bowed and said, "I will steam it until it's thoroughly cooked and offer it to Your Great King."
Ao Tu said, "Alright! Go!"
Red Boy then changed into a bellyband, put on a small cloak, and went out to start a fire.
When Red Boy got outside, he happened to run into Green Lion and his two companions.
The Green Lion said, "Isn't this the Bull Demon King's calf? Has his injury healed?"
White Elephant laughed, "Big Brother, you don't know this, but this calfskin heals very quickly!"
Red Boy said, "Ha, isn't this the great Demon Heads of Lion Camel Ridge? He used to look down on my Father King all the time, how come he's sharing a tent with me now?"
The Green Lion said, "My two brothers and I came to seek refuge because we admire Your Great King's reputation!"
Red Boy bowed and said, "It is thanks to Great King Majesty's kindness that my injuries have been healed. Seeing that I know how to start a fire, you ordered me to steam those four monks. But I have official business to attend to, so please excuse me!"
Upon hearing this, the Green Lion's eyes lit up.
As the saying goes, "If the cook doesn't steal, the harvest won't be good," so tending the fire is a good job.
He was too naive before, and ended up eating a bellyful of ordinary monks on the battlefield. By the time he was excreted, the battle was basically over, and he didn't get to eat anything good. Now he's just waiting to steam this Buddha Flesh!
Now that Red Boy is in charge of tending the fire, isn't he taking advantage of his proximity? Once the Buddha Flesh is steamed, it's only right that Red Boy cuts off a couple of pieces to test if it's cooked through. Isn't that a benefit?
If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll have another chance to taste something so delicious.
The Green Lion immediately changed his tune. He used to call Red Boy" little calf," but now he directly called him "brother" and said he wanted to go with Red Boy to start a fire.
Red Boy initially refused, but then Golden-Winged Great Peng said that the four monks were powerful and might leave, so the three of them could go together to check on them.
Red Boy thought that made sense, so he agreed.
Upon arriving at the back room, the Little Demon were all eagerly waiting. A large iron pot, ten feet wide and gleaming, had been prepared, with water already filled and piled high with firewood. Four layers of steamers were also ready.
Red Boy asked, "Men, have those four monks been thoroughly cleaned?"
The Little Demon exclaimed happily, "We've scrubbed them all clean, marinated them overnight with the best seasonings, and now we're just waiting to steam them!"
The Green Lion, White Elephant, Golden-Winged Great Peng were overjoyed upon hearing this, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Red Boy said, "Bring him up!"
The Little Demon then carried up the Buddha Well-Praised, Buddha Solemn Light, Jewel Light Buddha, and Buddha Without Worries. The Four Buddhas were wrapped in steamer cloths, washed clean, and ready to be steamed.
The Green Lion stepped forward, sniffed it, and exclaimed, "It smells wonderful! No wonder it's Buddha Flesh!"
The White Elephant said, "We've certainly had our fill today!"
Golden-Winged Great Peng said, "There's no time to lose, let's steam them quickly, lest things get complicated!"
Upon hearing this Buddha Well-Praised wept, saying, "After countless eons of cultivation, I never imagined I would stray from the right path and die at the hands of Demon today."
Jewel Light Buddha, "It's alright, these Little Demon can't kill us. Let's wait for Medicine Buddha to come and save us!"
Upon hearing this, the Little Demon said to Red Boy, "Leader, this monk said we can't cook them!"
Another Demon Daoist, "It's alright, it'll be easier to steam once the skin is removed!"
Red Boy said, "I have Samadhi True Fire; I know they won't be able to withstand it. Let's boil the water first!"
Upon hearing this, the Little Demons filled the pot with water and stuffed it with firewood. Red Boy then breathed out Samadhi True Fire, igniting the firewood, and the water boiled in no time.
The Little Demon shouted, "The water's boiling! The water's boiling!"
Red Boy said, "Carry them up!"
The Little Demon asked, "Which one should we carry first?"
Red Boy pointed at the Jewel Light Buddha and said, "Let's start with the one who's being stubborn!"
The Little Demon then lifted up the Jewel Light Buddha and placed it in the first compartment, the Buddha Well-Praised in the second compartment, the Buddha Solemn Light in the third compartment, and the Worry-Free Buddha Without Worries in the fourth compartment. They then covered the compartment and steamed it over a large fire.
The rising steam startled the Kitchen God.
The Kitchen God had long been ordered by the Jade Emperor to the Lower Realm to investigate Lion Camel City. However, seeing that there were many Demon in Lion Camel City and that his divine power was weak, he dared not show himself.
Today, he saw that the Demon was about to steam four Buddha, which was within his jurisdiction. If he did not help, he would probably be blamed by the Buddha in the future; if he did help, he would die with his meager magical powers.
After much deliberation, the Kitchen God decided to go to the North Sea to find the North Sea Dragon King. The North Sea Dragon King was the Demon Dragon's uncle, so he would push this matter onto him and let him take the blame, good or bad.
The Kitchen God arrived at the North Sea and invited the Dragon King of the North Sea to come over.
The Dragon King of the North Sea asked what was going on, but the Kitchen God, fearing he would refuse if he knew, dared not tell the truth and lied, saying, "Your nephew Ao Tu has steamed four rare and precious dishes and invites you to a feast to enjoy them."
The Dragon King of the North Sea asked in confusion, "He commands tens of thousands of Demon Soldier, why would he send you to invite me?"
The Kitchen God said, "The matter is urgent, so I sent this humble god to invite you."
The Dragon King of the North Sea had no doubts and followed the Kitchen God.
Upon arriving at Lion Camel City, the Dragon King of the North Sea asked, "Where is my nephew? And where are those rare treasures?"
The Kitchen God said, "Dragon King, look, isn't that the smoke coming from the Cooking Smoke?"
