Although there had been conjectures in this regard before, Ji Zijin's answer still exceeded Qi Zhen's expectations.
So Qi Zhen was a little confused for a moment and didn't even know where to start asking.
Seeing the dumbfounded expressions of the three people in front of him, Ji Zijin smiled and said, "I wonder if you have any questions?"
"this……"
Qi Zhen pondered for a moment and asked: "Before we came here, we also heard some rumors among the people, and also read the introduction in the Taoist temple on the mountain, saying that you came to Chao Lake to scare the monsters, I don't know..."
Ji Zijin smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's all me."
Yu Liang looked at the three honest and messed-up monsters and said to himself that five minutes ago I saw the four of you playing mahjong. You still owe people money, and you are cheating like a fool.
"I don't know..." Qi Zhen looked at the three strange-looking monsters and asked tentatively.
"Oh, you are talking about them, they are the monsters living in Chao Lake. I am not bored, so I asked them to come here to play with me." Ji Zijin said calmly, his face unchanged and his heart not beating.
Qi Zhen didn't know how to proceed with these words.
Not to mention that the person in front of you has nothing to do with the swaying fairy spirit of the statue in the Taoist temple. Even if it is the common people or the local government who have deified the immortal in their hearts, your current unkempt appearance, let alone exorcism, is still... Have a great time playing with these monsters...
This really can't be said to be Qi Zhen judging people by their appearance, but Ji Zijin's words are so obvious that it's hard not to be suspicious.
"You...are the ones who frighten the monsters like this?" Yu Liang tried his best to prevent his tone from being taken as a provocation by the other party.
"No, no, no..." Ji Zijin quickly waved his hand, "They often make trouble and disturb the peace of the people along the coast. Then I will punish them."
Hearing this, the toad monster rolled his eyes.
Ji Zijin's eyes widened and he winked at the three monsters.
"That's right, let's keep struggling when we have nothing to do, and then Master Ji will beat us into obedience." The three monsters said in unison.
What kind of mess is this?
Qi Zhen couldn't stand listening any longer, so she opened her mouth and said, "Can you say something we believe in?" Ji Zijin pondered for a moment, stretched out his right hand and twirled his fingers.
"This, this..."
Pooh! If you want to defraud me, Qi Zhen, of money, there is no way.
But Qi Zhen's heart moved at this moment.
Then he spoke to Yu Liang through spiritual communication.
Yu Liang looked at Qi Zhen with a puzzled look on his face: Are you sure?
Qi Zhen closed her eyes and nodded.
A jar of five-year-old bamboo leaves instantly appeared in Yu Liang's hand.
Opening the mud seal, Yu Liang took a sip and handed it to Li Qiang.
Li Qiang also took a big sip and handed it to Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen took a sip with a look of enjoyment on her face.
"It's okay, please speak slowly, we have plenty of time."
Ji Zijin's eyes widened when he took out the wine jar from Yu Liang.
Seeing Yu Liang and Li Qiang each taking a big sip, they stared at the aroma of wine coming from their noses and swallowed a big sip of water.
It wasn't until Qi Zhen finished speaking that Ji Zijin reacted and asked softly: "What, are you drinking this?"
"Baishui." Qi Zhen said.
Ji Zijin glared: "Impossible, I smelled it. It's clearly wine. What do you mean? This is so uninteresting."
Qi Zhen said: "Hey, it's actually not interesting. It's almost the same as what you just said. Don't think we're not interesting enough. This is what we mean. It's not interesting when you say that."
The three monsters next to them were confused by the various meanings.
"Why don't you tell us something we can understand, and we'll give you some wine?" Qi Zhen asked.
"Actually, it's not a matter of drinking or not. Don't tell others, otherwise I won't be able to make money in the future." Ji Zijin sighed.
"What do you use the money for?" Yu Liang interrupted.
"Buy a drink." Ji Zijin covered his mouth after finishing speaking.
Yes, it was the drinking that caused the fuss.
For hundreds of years, Chao Lake has given birth to many aquatic monsters due to its strong yin energy. Not only that, water-loving monsters from other places have also continued to gather here, and gradually formed a scale in this thousands of miles of water.
The demon clan is different from other races. The strong are respected. The demon clan within this thousand-mile radius of the water takes Kun as the demon master and thrives here. After a monster develops spiritual wisdom, few will know good and evil and know right and wrong unless it is taught and taught. Therefore, there are always monsters eating people, which is similar to people eating livestock.
The Ji Zijin in front of the three of them was indeed the Ji Zijin on the mountain, but it was indeed not as beautiful as the statue.
It is true that he came here to scare the monsters of Chao Lake.
However, because he had good intentions and did not want to kill the monsters under Chao Lake, he discussed with the monster owner whether he could not disturb the lives of the people along the coast.
The Demon Lord also has a bad temper, saying that it is natural for humans to eat my own kind, and that eating people from the water tribe is an act against nature. You immortal is so unreasonable.
Ji Zijin said, you are still practicing human form, are you eating too much?
The demon lord was furious and fought with Ji Zijin for three days and three nights, causing the water level of Chao Lake to drop three feet.
In the end, the two fought to a draw, and neither could do anything to the other.
Ji Zijin said that neither of us can win the other, otherwise we should stop fighting.
In the end, the two people reached an agreement, and Ji Zijin taught the demons, including human language knowledge, etiquette, justice and integrity.
And he also settled down here in Ziwei Mountain not far from Chao Lake, where he could keep an eye on every move of the monsters in Chao Lake.
As time went by, this place was gradually named Ziwei Cave by the people.
And his story spread like this.
The Monster Clan's creed of respecting the strong played a very important role in this. In this agreement, the Monster Clan actually made huge concessions.
After nearly two hundred years of hard work, the demon clan below Chao Lake finally gradually formed some microcosms and prototypes of human society.
It has to be said that Ji Zijin made the most of his contribution.
A dashing immortal suddenly turned into a hard-working teacher. Fortunately, he was the prince of a country before he became an immortal, otherwise it would have been extremely difficult to complete this great undertaking that could be called a miracle.
And under the vast surface of Chao Lake, Ji Zi also gave him a very appropriate name - Juchao Kingdom.
It means the country of monsters living under Chao Lake.
If everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, who would think of seeking immortality and worshiping Buddha?
After Ji Zijin successfully taught Ju Chao to be kind-hearted, his popularity gradually dwindled, and later even his temple on the shore of Chao Lake was demolished!
