Journey to the West: The Strongest Demon Child Arrives

Nezha had sufficient reasons to say this to Sha Seng. In the previous life's Journey to the West, Sha Seng was just a background board with only a few lines, and he was basically just idling away his time.

He didn't seem to be serious about fighting monsters. The previous Journey to the West was a show put on by the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. It was okay for Sha Seng to be so passive and lazy, after all, Tang Sanzang was not in any real danger.

But this trip to the North was different. The old thief Yuanshi Tianzun would definitely not watch the trip to the North go on smoothly, and would definitely intervene.

If Sha Seng continued to be passive and lazy at that time, there was no guarantee that something dangerous would happen, so Nezha felt that he needed to warn Sha Seng to make him feel a little more at ease.

"I dare not, I dare not. I will do my best to complete the Immortal Venerable's orders, and I dare not be negligent in the slightest. If I fail to do my best, I am willing to be punished by the Immortal Venerable."

Sha Seng kowtowed to Nezha and said

"That's good. You just wait here. It won't be long before Tang Sanzang and his men arrive. When you meet up, change your route and head north."

Nezha said.

"I will obey your command."

After Sha Seng kowtowed to Nezha again, he dared to raise his upper body, his eyes full of awe for Nezha.

Seeing Sha Seng like this, Nezha knew that Sha Seng had made up his mind to obtain the scriptures well, and he felt relieved. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the heavenly soldier who had been vomiting blood in the distance crawling towards him.

The heavenly soldier was crawling forward while vomiting blood, with a firm goal. Nezha took a look and felt very curious. He didn't know what this heavenly soldier was going to do.

Moreover, this heavenly soldier had a lot of blood. He had been vomiting blood for a long time, but he didn't die. This physique was far superior to that of ordinary heavenly soldiers.

"Okay, stop crawling, come closer and talk if you have anything to say."

Nezha said as he hooked his finger, and the heavenly soldier was immediately brought to Nezha's side, standing side by side with Sha Seng, except that one was kneeling and the other was lying on his stomach.

"Little...gu...man...gu...I..."

The Heavenly Soldier was lying on the ground, spitting blood while talking. He spat out blood for every word he said. Nezha found it funny and waved his hand to heal the Heavenly Soldier's injury so that he would stop spitting blood.

Otherwise, with this state, he would turn this place into a sea of blood after just a few words to himself.

"Speak properly, what's wrong with you? A mere heavenly soldier can vomit blood for so long, it's rare for you to do so."

"I am grateful to the Immortal for saving my life."

After being saved by Nezha, the soldier stopped vomiting blood, got up, kowtowed to Nezha and said:

"Okay, let's get down to business. What do you want to tell me? Seeing that you are so persistent, I will listen to you."

"Thank you Immortal Venerable for giving me the opportunity to speak. I actually just want to ask, can you take me with you on this northern journey? I promise to complete the task seriously."

The heavenly soldier said with expectation.

He was originally a heavenly soldier, but now that the heaven is destroyed, there is no hope for him to return to heaven. He originally planned to cling to Sha Seng, but it seems that Sha Seng will have a task soon.

If he is left alone in this prehistoric world, there is no hope for him to survive. He has finally got such an opportunity, so he must seize it.

"Do you also want to join the northern tour?"

Nezha asked the heavenly soldiers in front of him.

"That's right, I hope you can give me this opportunity. I can't say anything else, but I can do the things like holding the horse stirrups and saluting. I'm very good at this. Before I became a heavenly soldier, I worked in the Imperial Horse Administration for a long time."

The heavenly soldier started to promote himself.

"The Imperial Stables? Have you worked there? Tell me your origins clearly. I saw that you were so heroic when you vomited blood just now. I'm afraid you are not comparable to ordinary heavenly soldiers. To be honest, I am a little interested in you."

Nezha looked at the heavenly soldier in front of him and said.

To be honest, with Nezha's knowledge and cultivation, he should not have any interest in this person in front of him, but he did find it a little incredible that a small heavenly soldier with low cultivation could persist in vomiting blood for so long. Anyway, he did n't have anything important to do at the moment, so he might as well listen to the origin of this heavenly soldier.

"Okay, I was originally a minor official in the Imperial Horse Administration of Heaven. When the Great Sage Sun Wukong was the Horse Warden, I also worked under him and had a few words with him. We are old acquaintances. At that time, I was the one who explained to the Great Sage what the Horse Warden should do."

The Heavenly Soldier knelt on the ground and said

"Do you still know Sun Wukong?"

Nezha asked with a smile. However, after hearing what the heavenly soldier said, Nezha remembered that there was indeed such a person in the original work of Journey to the West. He did not expect that the person in front of him was the one who explained the position of Bi Ma Wen to Sun Wukong that day.

"Let's get to know each other. It's not just Sun Wukong. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven was dissatisfied with his position as Bi Ma Wen and released the heavenly horses privately. We were also punished for this. Fortunately, the Jade Emperor knew that we were unable to stop the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, so he demoted us to heavenly soldiers and even put me under Marshal Tian Peng."

The heavenly soldier continued

"Marshal Tianpeng? You worked for him? You have a good experience."

Nezha said with a smile

"I have been one before. Not only that, but I had a bad temper with Marshal Tianpeng at that time. Marshal Tianpeng even drank with me in private. But later, Marshal Tianpeng was sent down to the mortal world and reincarnated as a pig because he violated the heavenly rules. And I was chosen by the Jade Emperor as the executioner because my cultivation was outstanding among the heavenly soldiers, and fell into this quicksand river."

The heavenly soldier said calmly.

After listening to the words of the heavenly soldier, Nezha was secretly surprised in his heart. This person really had a close relationship with the people who were seeking scriptures. He had chatted with three of the four people seeking scriptures. He had nothing to do with Tang Sanzang. It was reasonable for such a person to participate in the journey to seek scriptures, but his cultivation was indeed low, and he was not destined to seek scriptures.

It stands to reason that he should not be added to the team to seek scriptures, but with his fate, it would be a bit unfair to not include him. Nezha thought for a while and said

"Your experience is quite extraordinary. Based on your fate, I should let you join the team to learn from the scriptures, but what should I let you do? By the way, you just said that you worked in the Imperial Stables, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I have worked in the Imperial Horse Administration of Heaven for many years and I know a lot about horse breeding. To be honest, I know more about horses than I do about people. I hope the Immortal Venerable will consider my strengths and assign me a position. After I obtain the true scriptures in the future, you can assign me a position at will. I don’t ask for much."
