"Since the emperor is familiar with my sister, why not take the names of all the monkeys and grandsons under my sister's command?"
Sun Houhou is very comfortable with the title "sister" because he thinks he is just calling her "Jiejie"!
Faced with this begging monkey, Xia Qingyang had no choice but to call him into the Dongyue Imperial Palace, preparing to explain the truth to him in person...
After receiving the invitation, the monkey came to the depths of the Dongyue Imperial Palace inexplicably...
Then as he was walking, he was enveloped in a thick fog.
When the thick fog lifted, he found himself walking into a dimly lit cave.
There is a horrible corpse smell in this cave, "tick-tock-tick", and water is dripping from somewhere.
The monkey stopped in surprise. He was sure that he had entered an illusion, but no matter how he distinguished it, he could not determine how he was in this illusion.
But this illusion was too real. He could even feel the rancid viscosity in the air, as well as some sounds that were unlike those made by living beings...
The monkey is bold. Although he wanted to see what would happen if he returned the same way, he still curiously continued to move forward to see what Emperor Dongyue wanted him to see...
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
A low sound came, somewhat like the growling of the stomach, or like the sound of airflow changing in a narrow space.
The monkey walked through a cave and turned a corner, and was stunned by the sight in front of him.
I saw corpses all over the ground covering the cave...these corpses were of humans and various animals, and the strong stench came from the cave.
And lying on its back among the pile of corpses was an extremely huge ape.
This is an old ape, its eyebrows are already hanging on the ground and it is white as snow, and even its body has rotted in many places... its bones are exposed.
But it didn't seem to notice anything, and it was still lying there stretched out, chewing on the bones with some carrion hanging on them.
"So hungry, so hungry..."
The giant ape made a sound like a demon.
Then it saw Sun Wukong...
"King?"
"Are you the king?"
Sun Houhou was stunned, and then said angrily: "Who is your king!"
The giant ape opened his mouth and laughed "haha" and said: "You are our king. If you were not the king, how could I end up in such a situation?"
"Your Majesty just crossed out the names of the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain back then, but the monkeys born later still live to the end of their lives."
"I and other apes of this generation can only watch helplessly as our beloved descendants die in front of us one by one. We can't die even if we want to."
Sun Houhou swallowed hard and asked, "Do you want to die?"
The giant ape said: "I thought, I even smashed my own head with a stone!"
As it spoke, it pointed to a huge tumor on its head.
He added: "But I can't die. Even if my body dies, my soul will not be taken away by ghost messengers!"
"Then, all I have to do is wait for the body to transform into a corpse, and the soul will return to the body... I am still 'alive' as a 'corpse demon'!"
As soon as the words fell, the giant ape suddenly rushed towards the monkey. The smelly wind blew in his face, and the terrifying demonic power suppressed the monkey and made him unable to move...
The monkey's eyes widened at this... because he knew that all this was false, so he forced himself to face it all.
How can I put it, this monkey does have some shining points.
The next moment, the figure of the ape demon faded away.
Sun Houhou looked around curiously. The originally stinky cave had turned into a magnificent palace. He saw a man in imperial robes, looking at him with a smile... After all, he was his own child, and he should educate him.
You still need to educate yourself.
"Emperor, my grandson is polite."
Monkey style greeting.
The incarnation of Yu Qingzi here just nodded lightly and asked without a smile: "Now, do you know that you have caused the disaster of reincarnation without permission?"
"If you want the monkeys all over the mountain to live forever, you can teach them how to practice."
"And it is a method of serious cultivation, not a method of avoiding calamity that you learned from Patriarch Bodhi."
Sun Wukong's eyes widened and he asked: "You...how do you know the name of my master?"
He now remembered that Patriarch Bodhi forbade him from revealing his name...
The incarnation of Yu Qingzi said: "The Patriarch Bodhi is the great sage of our Taoist sect. When you were learning skills on Fangcun Mountain, I was chatting and drinking tea with the Patriarch Bodhi."
Only then did Sun Wukong realize something: "This... this... this... is the emperor still a member of my master's sect?"
Looking at the monkey's expression of joy, it looks like he has found someone to support him.
Yu Qingzi said quickly: "I'm not even from the same sect, I just met your master twice and have some friendship."
It would be an extremely bad thing to be friends with this scoundrel.
Monkey is not disappointed either. He thinks that since this great god with great supernatural powers is his sister (Jiejie)’s master, then he is his master!
He still said hello with a playful smile, then straightened his back and left.
Although he was beaten when he came to the underworld, he felt that he could still walk sideways after being in the underworld.
So when he came out of the Dongyue Imperial Palace, he put on an expression that said, 'I know the emperor very well, why don't you hurry up and fawn over me?'
Judge Cui's attitude towards him has indeed improved a lot and he is no longer so hostile.
But Black and White and Impermanence are different.
The look in their eyes when they saw this monkey...
They looked at each other and said, "Monkey, since you are the emperor's descendant, we brothers should give you a good training."
"In this case, there is no point in beating you up. You go back first, and our brothers will come to see you in the evening... You must practice your boxing and kicking skills, otherwise won't you embarrass Jiuniang?"
Sun Houhou instantly realized one thing. This underworld seemed to be Jiuniang's 'natal home', and he couldn't act too useless.
So he nodded sternly, with an expression that would make you look good when the time comes.
After chatting for a few more words, just before dawn, the monkey was sent out of the underworld and returned to his home.
He stretched and stood up, feeling sore all over his body as if he had been beaten all night.
Then a sudden realization dawned: That was not a dream just now!
"Are you awake?" His familiar voice came from the side.
He saw Jiuniang wearing an exquisite goose yellow dress and swinging next to him. She seemed to be waiting for him to wake up.
The monkey suddenly teased: "Aren't you afraid that I won't wake up from now on?"
Jiuniang said calmly: "You can just go on your own. It's just time for my master to choose a scholarly family for you to be reincarnated in, so that you can get rid of your frivolous temperament."
Monkey suddenly felt a little scared, feeling that his cognition was different from Jiuniang's.
In his eyes, life, old age, illness and death, which are very terrible, seem to be just a matter of changing one's identity and starting over...
Jiuniang rolled her eyes at him angrily and said: "You are also an accomplished practitioner, why are you still so afraid of death... I have many uncles and brothers who all have a better future after reincarnation.
.”
Sun Houhou rolled his eyes when he heard this, and covered his ears not wanting to listen... He was tired of Jiuniang preaching to him.
However, after going to the underworld and seeing such an illusion, this monkey's temperament has indeed become much more stable...
