On the second day after returning, Sun Wukong began to teach the monkeys to practice martial arts and lay a solid foundation.
He snatched a big knife from the Demon King and used it as a weapon. He asked the monkeys to chop bamboo to make bamboo spears, use wood to make wooden knives, make flags, and set up camp. It was very much in the style of a human army.
This is what I learned on the way to seek the Tao, and it comes in handy now.
It was impossible for him to teach Monkey Housun magic from the beginning. He also started learning from the basics and couldn't rush it.
After practicing for a few days, Sun Wukong suddenly remembered a question.
Because the monkey group gathered here before, the relative threat was not that great. Although the monkey group had conflicts with several of the demon kings and eliminated them, they were all little demon kings who were not that powerful. Others were more powerful opponents.
Not much interest here.
But now that I have killed the Demon King and then practiced the monkey soldiers, this may attract the attention of the more powerful ones among the seventy-two demon kings. So after thinking about it, I found the four generals: "Now that the Demon King has been killed, we are practicing martial arts every day.
, the seventy-two demon kings may be alerted and think that we are a threat to them, so what should they do if they lead troops to kill them? I am not afraid of them, but we monkeys and grandsons use wooden knives and bamboo spears, how can we follow them?
Are they going to fight with real swords and guns?"
Jia Zhengjin said in his heart, he turned to look at Tathagata.
When the other little monkeys around heard it, they all showed panic expressions and gathered around and said, "What the king said makes sense! It's just that we have no place to find weapons!"
Marshal Ma, the incarnation of the Tathagata, stood up under Jia Zhengjin's gaze: "Your Majesty, it's actually very simple to have sharp weapons and blades!"
"Oh? How simple?" Sun Wukong asked hurriedly.
"Report to the king!" Marshal Ma replied unhurriedly, "Our mountain is about two hundred miles across the waterway to the east, and that side belongs to the Aolai Kingdom. There are countless soldiers, civilians and skilled craftsmen under the rule of the Aolai Kingdom.
Your Majesty, whether you go there to buy weapons or make weapons, you can bring them back to arm us and protect this mountain city!"
Sun Wukong was delighted when he heard this: "Okay! I, the king, will go to Aolai Kingdom right now. You can continue to practice martial arts at home. Don't be lazy!"
After saying that, he somersaulted out and disappeared in front of the monkeys in an instant.
After Sun Wukong left, Marshal Ma asked General Beng to be in charge of training the monkey soldiers, with Marshal Liu supervising, and then he and Jia Zhengjin moved to an uninhabited area nearby.
After confirming that there were no outsiders, Jia Zhengjin said: "It seems that everything is going smoothly according to plan?"
"That's natural!" Tathagata smiled and said, "I said, everything has been prepared. Everything will be executed according to our plan. When the Monkey King comes back with the weapons, he will go to the Dragon Palace to get the Ruyi you placed in advance...
....”
In the middle of speaking, Tathagata suddenly froze, and then he counted his fingers, with a look of astonishment on his face: "Oops! Something happened!"
"What?" When Jia Zhengjin heard this, he quickly counted his fingers and was stunned. "I'll go! What's going on?"
The two makers of the westward journey plan looked at each other.
It turns out that the two of them were supposed to wait quietly in the East China Sea for Sun Wukong to come and seize the treasure, which would become the golden cudgel that started the turmoil in the Heavenly Palace. However, they had disappeared seven days ago!
This is a big problem!
The one who took away the golden cudgel was the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the dragon Caizhu saved by Jia Zhengjin with a flat peach.
"Variable! Variable! It happened because of you again!" Tathagata looked helplessly at Jia Zhengjin.
"That makes no sense!" Jia Zhengjin frowned, "How could the Dragon Girl be able to hold the golden cudgel? I remember that she only shook the golden cudgel at most and couldn't lift it at all..."
"The Dragon Girl ate the flat peach and got an opportunity!" Tathagata said, "After practicing Dragon Palace magic for decades, her cultivation will naturally not stagnate. Now that the Monkey King has returned from seizing the treasure, if there is no Ruyi Golden Cudgel, how can he cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace?
Introducing the plan to travel to the west? This matter started because of you, and it must be settled as soon as possible!"
"Really, let me lose the chain at the critical moment!" Jia Zhengjin also felt depressed, "Fortunately, I can travel through time, so I should be able to save it."
"Go handle this matter quickly. The Monkey King will return soon!" Tathagata said, "You can't delay for a moment!"
"Don't worry! The Westward Journey plan is very important to you, and it is also important to me." Jia Zhengjin nodded, "I promise to solve it as quickly as possible, just wait for me for a few seconds!"
After speaking, contact Nuwa immediately.
"Whoa!" It was quickly teleported back to the captain's control room and restored to its original appearance.
"Why did the captain suddenly call? Is there something urgent?" Nuwa appeared beside him and asked softly.
"I don't have time to explain, so let me travel through time immediately and go back to seven days ago!" Jia Zhengjin said anxiously.
"Yes!" Nuwa didn't ask any further questions, and immediately started the time-space jumping device and entered the time channel directly.
In an instant, the spaceship returned to the time when the golden hoop was stolen seven days ago.
"I'll be invisible here and wait while I stop the dragon girl from seizing the golden cudgel!" Jia Zhengjin turned into golden light and flew into the East China Sea.
"Dragon Girl? Golden Cudgel?" Nuwa looked confused and quickly connected to the satellite to check.
When traveling through time, Jia Zhengjin deliberately used the Thirty-Six Tiangang Methods to restrain his aura, and Nuwa also quickly became invisible.
Jia Zhengjin in the current time period did not notice his arrival seven days later. Nuwa did notice the fluctuation, but came to investigate but found nothing.
Jia Zhengjin didn't know what the consequences would be if he met himself a few days ago, so he hid himself out of caution and put safety first.
Of course, because he did not use the Five Elements Soul Closure Technique, Tathagata could feel it.
No, when Jia Zhengjin appeared on the surface of the East China Sea, Tathagata also came over and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Tathagata, who was seven days ago now, didn't know what happened, but he knew where Jia Zhengjin was, and this second Jia Zhengjin who suddenly appeared seemed a little suspicious!
Facing Tathagata, Jia Zhengjin didn't talk nonsense: "I came from Seven Days Later, the Monkey King returned, and the Dragon Girl stole the weapons and affected the plan! I must prevent this from happening. You think I have never been here or seen me!"
"
Tathagata heard the words and calculated with his fingers, and found that he was not lying. Long Caizhu really wanted to steal the weapon, so he nodded: "It's happening! You stop Long Nu quickly, and you must not say that you are from seven days later. You must not be caught like this."
No one anywhere knows that you can travel through time!"
"Don't worry, I know what's going on!" Jia Zhengjin nodded, "I will take care of the Dragon Girl's side. You go back quickly and take charge of the arrangements for the return of the Monkey King."
The Tathagata clasped his hands together, performed a Buddhist salute to him, turned around and disappeared.
Jia Zhengjin did not hesitate, jumped into the East China Sea, and swam quickly towards the Dragon Palace.
"Shangxian?!" When I swam to Zhongzhong, I met Jinjia Yaksha leading a patrol. When I saw him, I immediately came over to say hello.
"The Monkey King is about to return. I'm here to look after the weapons to prevent them from being lost!" Jia Zhengjin said.
"Don't worry, Immortal, that weapon is so heavy that it can't be taken away even if no one is guarding it!" Jinjia Yaksha laughed.
"There can be no negligence in this matter!" Jia Zhengjin sank straight to the bottom of the sea.
