Chapter 84 Mutual Request for Reinforcements
When he realized that Chen Chunan had discovered him, Xin Yuan immediately sensed it, but he did not panic.
"Hehe, you have a really bad memory. I, Old Sun, reminded you when you were arousing the calamity energy, yet you never suspected that I, Old Sun, had not actually completely returned to the right path."
However, I, Old Sun, am able to be this way thanks to you. If you hadn't told me to become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, how could I, Old Sun, have understood what true reality is?
The Monkey King lay on the throne, swinging his legs and enjoying a third-grade spirit peach, living a very leisurely life.
The aura emanating from him had actually reached the Golden Core realm!
Achieving the Golden Core within a hundred years with a single spiritual root is already the mark of a genius among geniuses.
But the Mind Monkey, who was born from the false elixir, has only been in the body for a little over half a year, and has actually become a Golden Core?
No wonder several Golden Core cultivators from that sect died.
On the other side, Chen Chunan's mind was in complete turmoil.
"I have found true love and achieved enlightenment, so how can my restless heart still linger outside? This shouldn't be!"
The Journey to the West says: "Borrowing an egg to transform into a monkey to complete the Great Dao, borrowing its name to create the elixir. Inner observation reveals no form, yet outward perception clearly creates a tangible form."
True feelings cannot truly manifest as a monkey's; true feelings, when viewed internally, are formless. Therefore, they are given a name to transform the formless into something with form, in order to clarify their characteristics. Previously, when practicing false methods, I sensed something was amiss; now, it seems the problem is quite significant.
The Wuzhen Pian says that the three natures meet in the Yuan Palace. The three natures are true feelings, true nature, and true intention.
Is this monkey the "will horse" among the three natures?
In the original Journey to the West, once the restless monkey returns to the right path, the next chapter will feature the gods secretly protecting him at Snake Coil Mountain and reining in his wild will at Eagle Sorrow Gorge.
The gods are: the Six Ding and Six Jia (representing fire and wood); the Five Directions Jiedi (representing the five elements); and the Four Duty Officers (representing the year, month, day, and hour of birth).
Dharma Protector Monastery: The merit of protection.
This time, it really means that one should not rely solely on self-reliance, but should know when to advance and retreat, understand the timing, and proceed steadily step by step, sincerely cultivating one's nature and ascending to the sacred mountain.
Contrary to the Monkey King's expectations, the horse was eaten, so he carried his master and flew directly to Mount Ling.
This restless mind is definitely not a wandering will!
The Monkey King, sensing his thoughts, thought to himself, "I am not a willful horse; I will know when you conceive your sacred fetus. However, you are now audacious enough to become that serpent's human tribulation. That serpent, with its two thousand years of cultivation, is not to be trifled with. I, Old Sun, must think of a way to ensure you don't perish halfway! Although that savage bull is a bit stupid, his skills are undeniable, and he has a powerful demon father. Why not try to fool him? If it succeeds, you'll have a Nascent Soul cultivator to help you. Even if he can't actually help, it will at least give that serpent demon a fright."
After thinking it over, the Monkey King waved his hand, and 36 ripe peaches from the 12 fruit trees immediately fell down.
"Hehe, a gift is essential when asking for a favor, so let's take this as your gift!"
Having said that, the Monkey King gave some instructions to his monkey grandsons, then rode the clouds and mist out of Tianmu Mountain and headed towards Woniu Mountain.
In less than a quarter of an hour.
The Monkey King arrived at a mountain peak, descended from the clouds, and called out, "Sister Green Rhinoceros, your brother from the Sun family has arrived! Why don't you come and greet him quickly?"
Inside a cave halfway up Woniu Mountain, a green ox, entirely bluish-black except for a single horn on its forehead, suddenly opened its eyes.
Hearing the monkey's shouts, her face darkened: "Damn monkey, coming to me again to beg for money! This time, I'm not giving in no matter what!"
Then it left the cave and flew into the air.
"You damned monkey! What are you doing here again? Let me tell you, don't even think about getting your hands on my earth milk again!"
Xin Yuan chuckled sheepishly. Last time, in order to refine his body, he had tricked this stupid ox into giving him a large jar of Earth Milk.
The ox behind him also realized something was wrong, and kept a close watch on him.
"Sister Qingsi, I'm not here to steal your Earth Milk. It's just that the spirit peaches from Tianmu Mountain are ripe. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to try them when they were ripe? Well, I've brought them to you."
"Are you really that kind?"
Qing Si looked at Xin Yuan with a suspicious expression.
She and this monkey became friends after a fight; at that time, she was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, while the monkey was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
But that monkey possessed truly astonishing abilities; not only was it incredibly fast, but it could also change its form, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Furthermore, the power of that stick was truly remarkable.
Although she was a level above the monkey at the time, she still couldn't subdue it.
After the incident at Falling Dragon Ridge, the monkey, seeing that Falling Dragon Ridge was empty, no longer thought about seizing his territory and taking over Falling Dragon Ridge.
Only then did the two families finally live in peace.
Not long after, the monkey actually became a golden elixir, and then came to say he wanted to be friends.
Although she knew she wasn't very clever, she knew how cunning that monkey was, and that his idea of making friends was definitely not well-intentioned.
But fearing the monkey would cause more trouble, she pretended to agree.
The Monkey King immediately saw through the Green Rhinoceros's thoughts and held up the fruit basket in his hand, saying:
"I'm not being nice for no reason. This is something I, Old Sun, promised to give you when the peaches were ripe. I, Old Sun, am not one to go back on my word."
Qing Si looked at Xin Yuan suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and then accepted the tea: "Then please come into the cave and have a cup of tea."
Seeing that Qing Si had finally lowered its guard, Xin Yuan chuckled inwardly. As long as there was communication, there was room for discussion.
He then went into the cave with her.
...
After entering the cave, Qing Si transformed into a woman, but this appearance made Xin Yuan unable to help but laugh. She was a perfect example of a female bodybuilder.
But now that he needed someone's help, he naturally dared not show any mockery.
"You're being so kind today? You actually brought me a spirit peach? The sun must have risen in the west."
"Hey, when I first arrived at Woniu Mountain, I was looking for a place to stay, which led to our conflict. Now that I've taken over Zhuilong Ridge, I naturally won't be eyeing Woniu Mountain anymore. Besides, haven't we become sworn siblings?"
Qing Si rolled her eyes inwardly.
If it weren't for the fact that this damned monkey was forming his core so quickly, and she wasn't worried that they would become enemies and she would become a great foe in the future, she would never have called this damned monkey her brother and sister!
"Monkey, you never come to my door without a reason. What brings you here?"
Qing Si still didn't quite trust the monkey. She had already been tricked three times. They say things don't happen more than three times, and even if she was a blockhead, she should have learned her lesson by now.
"It's nothing serious, it's just..."
...
While the monkeys were trying to increase Chen Chunan's allies, the vipers weren't idle either.
After it transformed into a viper, it naturally aspired to become a dragon, and the Seven Immortal Islands overseas were the largest dragon-related forces.
Built by Venerable Huangqiu, it is maintained by seven aquatic creatures with the goal of transforming into true dragons, and has always enjoyed a great reputation among aquatic creatures.
It originally went to seek out a master with the ambition of transforming into a dragon.
However, it was unaware of its past karma and was refused entry when it tried to become a disciple because its karma was too heavy.
However, when it went to the Seven Immortals Island to seek the Dao, it made a couple of friends. One of them was a sea patrol yaksha, whose supernatural powers of overturning rivers and seas were extremely powerful, and whose cultivation was even greater than its own.
If we can get him to take action, the three major sects of Jiangzhou will be nothing more than mantises trying to stop a chariot.
If you can't persuade him, you can inquire about the dragon. A wild dragon with shallow foundations will likely never be able to enter the sect if he commits more killings.
I might as well try to win them over; the allure of Pingjiang's waterways should be enough.
