One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 714 It Turns Out to be a Black Myth

"You monkey, you are playing tricks on me here."

Hu Xiuwu pointed at Sun Wukong and cursed with laughter.

He ate the food, but he still wanted to hear about the matter before deciding whether to do it or not.

Sun Wukong is not a monster who is ignorant of worldly affairs. He is a monster who has wandered through the human world. Sun Wukong acquired these abilities at the cost of a lot of suffering.

After leaving Huaguo Mountain, he did not go out to sea directly to find Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. Instead, he first wandered in Dongsheng Shenzhou for more than ten years, struggling in the human world, witnessing the good and evil of human nature, the indifference of the world, and being rejected several times. Only after he realized that Dongsheng Shenzhou did not give a monkey like him the chance to become an immortal did he venture out to sea.

That is why after he was named Bi Ma Wen by the Heavenly Court for the first time, he was able to make many friends in heaven. When he was named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven for the second time, he made many friends with the Nine Stars, the Five Generals, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Yuanchen, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the stars in the sky, and the gods of the Milky Way.

This monkey head has a good name, but it is also very cunning.

Sun Wukong said with shame: "I am wrong, brother. Just now I thought you were one of those hairy gods who trample on the ground and flatter others. You got some news and came to me to make trouble."

"Otherwise, why would I come here at this juncture of 500 years? But brother, you gave me a pot of divine wine that can be presented to the Jade Emperor to help me wash away the deep-seated illness in my body. Now I know how sincere your intentions are."

"It is me, the monkey, who looks down on others. Please forgive me, brother."

The Jiujiu Chongyang wine can bring the dead back to life. Even the immortals and gods can strengthen their roots and recover from injuries instantly after taking a sip.

Sun Wukong had been living under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years and his body was already weak. This sip of wine was like a timely help. Even if Hu Xiuwu had other intentions, he should repay the favor.

Hu Xiuwu said: "I came to see you because I respect your courage in causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and I have no ulterior motives."

Sun Wukong smiled bitterly: "What kind of heroic spirit? I didn't even get to see the Jade Emperor in the end. I was stopped by Wang Lingguan and a group of thunder gods, and then defeated by Erlang Zhenjun."

Hu Xiuwu asked curiously, "I heard that the reason why Erlang Zhenjun was able to defeat you was because he had the help of Laojun. Is the Great Sage really inferior to Erlang Zhenjun?"

Sun Wukong said: "What Great Sage? Brother, just call me Sun Wukong. That's my name."

After saying this, Sun Wukong frankly exposed his weakness: "To be honest, brothers, Erlang Shen is indeed amazing. He has superb martial arts and extraordinary magical powers. Even if we really fight one-on-one, the outcome is still unknown."

Hu Xiuwu asked again: "What do you think of that heaven?"

Sun Wukong asked, "Brother Xiuwu, have you ever seen the imperial court in the human world?"

"I've seen it."

Sun Wukong sneered: "Those in heaven and on earth are all the same, it's just that one has more power and the other has less power."

Then he said something to Hu Xiuwu: "It is true that it is easy to cultivate in the Heavenly Palace, but you must not regard the Heavenly Palace as too sacred. It is nothing more than a government office that manages the gods. You cannot underestimate it, but you cannot take it too seriously either."

"It's not as good as you think. The gods inside also have their own thoughts, just like us monkeys. The strong bully the weak, and the majority bully the minority."

Sun Wukong was afraid that Hu Xiuwu was so longing for the Heavenly Palace that he thought everything there was good and that it was full of good people.

After entering the heaven, he was plotted against and suffered physical and mental damage.

Sun Wukong was very sure that Hu Xiuwu would definitely enter the Heavenly Palace. He had already seen that his brother had an outstanding immortal appearance, was otherworldly, had spirit in his eyes, was determined and brave, and must be a Taiyi Hunyuan Immortal.

Heaven will not allow such a strong man to wander outside.

Then Taibai Jinxing will definitely come to visit my brother.

Sun Wukong told all his guesses.

Hu Xiuwu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He suddenly realized that apart from their cultivation and fame, Sun Wukong and his nephew Zhang Chulan were somewhat similar.

They both experienced hardships in their childhood, were both missed by others, and were both gifted and talented. They understood the world, closed their hearts, laughed and scolded, and disguised themselves. But compared with Sun Wukong, Zhang Chulan was three points more cautious and three points less heroic.

Only by exchanging sincerity for sincerity can you truly become friends with such people.

So, when Hu Xiuwu gave Sun Wukong a treasure without asking for anything in return, Sun Wukong finally told Hu Xiuwu the truth.

But if Hu Xiuwu didn't know Monkey King's nature in advance, how could he have given Monkey King a pot of magic wine.

The only person in the world who can do this is Feng Baobao.

Hu Xiuwu thought so, then waved his hand to create a barrier, isolating the inside and outside to prevent anyone from peeping, and then said to Sun Wukong:

"Since you know this truth, don't you know that even if you complete the mission assigned to you by Lingshan, you will just become another 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven'?"

Sun Wukong said coldly: "This is the only path they left for me. I have no choice."

Sun Wukong once drifted alone on the sea for seven or eight years. He could only eat sea fish and talk to his own shadow. He was a lonely boat in the vast ocean, with only his shadow to comfort him.

So the five hundred years under the Five Elements Mountain did not allow the Buddha to grind away Sun Wukong's viciousness as he wished, but he just hid it deeper. Five hundred years made him understand a truth.

These three realms are not something that a monkey like him can explore.

No matter how powerful one's skills are, without a backer, he is nothing but a pawn in the palm of Buddha's hand, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are the enemy in front of him. Before Sun Wukong went west, almost every fight was one-on-many, even in the duel with Erlang Shen, there was a sneak attack from Laojun, and Roaring Sky Dog biting his leg.

It's not that he is so arrogant that he has to fight against many people, but he has no background and no one to help him. The heaven does not regard him as one of their own, and the two times he went to heaven were just to fool him.

Since Guanyin Bodhisattva has revealed it, Lingshan wants to summon him to peace.

Sun Wukong took advantage of the situation and accepted the task of escorting Tang Monk to the west. He also joined Lingshan to find a backer for himself.

It's not that he doesn't understand that Lingshan may not be reliable, but as he said, he has no choice now.

Lingshan, the Heavenly Court is so powerful that he has to bow his head.

Hu Xiuwu sighed: "You are right, but I don't want to go down this path."

Sun Wukong did not try to persuade him: "Since you have such a strong will, I will not say much. If you can succeed, come and tell me about your experience. If not, there is always a place for you in Huaguo Mountain."

After chatting with Hu Xiuwu for a long time, Sun Wukong already knew that Hu Xiuwu was the same type of person as him, arrogant and stubborn, and unwilling to turn back.

It is impossible to change Hu Xiuwu's decision with empty words. It is better to give Hu Xiuwu a way out. If Hu Xiuwu really takes the same path as him, Sun Wukong can protect him and prevent him from ending up like himself.

After that, they stopped talking. Hu Xiuwu took out more fruits, vegetables and wine and drank and chatted with Sun Wukong, listening to what Sun Wukong saw and heard in the sky and the gossip about the various star gods.

When the twenty-eight constellations collapsed, Hu Xiuwu suddenly said in astonishment: "Wait, you said that Kang Jinlong is a dragon girl?"

Sun Wukong spat out a peach pit and said, "Yes, a three-cornered silver dragon who likes to wear bright red clothes and a flying dragon gold collar."

"But the horn in the middle is really powerful. It is sharper than Erlang Shen's three-pointed double-edged spear or Nezha's fire-pointed spear. It can break anything."

Sun Wukong picked up an apple for a change of taste and said casually.

'This monkey.'

With just these simple words, Hu Xiuwu already knew which version of Journey to the West he had come to.

Before coming here, he had already looked through all the literary and artistic works in the country with Journey to the West as the background, whether it was games or animation. The red-robed dragon girl, Kang Jinlong, had such a distinctive feature that Hu Xiuwu instantly understood which Journey to the West world this was.

"It turns out to be a black myth."

Hu Xiuwu suddenly realized.

However, he arrived too early, as the plot of Black Myth would not begin for another five hundred years.

More than five hundred years later, Sun Wukong successfully completed his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and was named Fighting and Victory Buddha. However, after practicing in Lingshan for a long time, he discovered that Guanyin Bodhisattva had never really taken off her golden hoop, and he had been under Lingshan's calculations from beginning to end.

Lingshan has never been merciful and has always demanded a lot. It only wants mortals to offer spiritual energy, but it never cares about their life or death.

In the later period, Sun Wukong awakened and planned to give up his Buddha position and return to Huaguo Mountain. Before leaving, he found Zhu Bajie and had a drink and chat with him.

At the banquet, Sun Wukong put forward his own ideas, but Zhu Bajie didn't understand. He thought it would be so nice to be a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, with mortals providing them with food and drink.

Finally, Sun Wukong said, "This offering should be given to the people who harvest vegetables. If we eat it, they will eat less."

Lingshan is full of great virtues and Bodhisattvas, who only wish that mortals believe in them, but none of them is willing to save mortals from the sea of ​​suffering. The only Maitreya who has compassion for all living beings is the future Buddha, and he is unable to change the spirit of Lingshan at all.

On the contrary, it was a monkey who traveled 108,000 miles to the west. Under the guidance of Jin Chanzi, he truly understood the true meaning of Buddhism and developed a compassionate heart. He was willing to give up his Buddhahood in order to reduce the burden on mortals.

If there is one less Buddha in Lingshan, mortals will have to pay less offerings, and they can have one more bite to eat.

That bite was just a pleasure for him, but for ordinary people, it was a chance to survive.

Unfortunately, since the story starts with "black", the final ending certainly did not go as Sun Wukong wished.

Sun Wukong abandoned his position as a Buddha and returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, intending to be the free and easy Monkey King in the mountains and forests again. However, this action aroused the fear of Lingshan and the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The gods and Buddhas in heaven were worried that Sun Wukong would use force to establish his own faction, and they would not allow the ideas that Sun Wukong had awakened to be spread.

Mortals should worship gods and Buddhas well, work hard and honestly, and should not have other thoughts.

Hu Xiuwu felt very disappointed.

In this world, there is no need to think about looking for some moral immortal or pure person to discuss the Tao and seek the truth.

Hu Xiuwu took a sip of wine to comfort himself.

"There are benefits, too. Now I know who my enemies are."

Raise a glass of wine and toast to the sky.

The three realms are all enemies, and even gods and Buddhas cannot tolerate it.

What is the truth you are talking about and what result you are seeking?

It’s better to kill them all and give us some peace!
