One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 723

The Heavenly Court wanted to explore the relationship between Sun Wukong and Hu Xiuwu, and Hu Xiuwu also wanted to test the quality of the Heavenly Court.

This group battle against the Green Bull Demon was just the right time to quietly test the strength of the Heavenly Court.

Hearing Hu Xiuwu's agreement, Sun Wukong was delighted, grinning like he had found a peach: "Okay, okay, it's time for my brother to do something big again."

???

When did I ever have a big fight with you?

Hu Xiuwu was confused and was about to ask Sun Wukong when he saw Sun Wukong's bright golden eyes with a playful smile on his face.

In an instant, Hu Xiuwu's heart trembled.

'Brother Monkey is reminding me that there is something wrong with the Heavenly Court's judgment of my identity, and Brother Monkey wants to take advantage of the situation and put it on me.'

It is normal that the Heavenly Court will not accept people of unknown origin. Even in the imperial examinations on earth, one must verify the identity of the candidate before the exam begins.

How can I dare to let you in if I don’t know your origin?

Sun Wukong is both intelligent and has the mischievous side of a monkey. Since Heaven has made a mistake in its judgment of Hu Xiuwu, the monkey is of course happy to see it and will help Hu Xiuwu improve his identity.

There are not many opportunities to defeat the Heavenly Court, and Sun Wukong enjoys it.

'Again? Monkey is reminding me that the Heavenly Court thinks that Monkey and I are old acquaintances? But they don't know my background?'

Thinking about the poem he wrote, and then thinking about Monkey King's experience, Hu Xiuwu had a guess:

"Three mountains, talismans, Sun Wukong... Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave, this is the only place. It is a place that the Heavenly Court theoretically has no eyes on. It is a place that the Heavenly Court cannot calculate. It is also the only place where even Lingshan is not sure about the number of disciples and their origins."

The place where Sun Wukong learned his skills was Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

Hu Xiuwu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, but dealing with the Green Bull Demon is not easy. That is not what the teacher taught us."

Sun Wukong scratched his cheek and smiled: "I will listen to you. Brother Hu is smart."

"Sure enough. They misunderstood that Sun Wukong and I were brothers!"

This also indirectly confirms a piece of news that in this world, Patriarch Subhuti is Patriarch Subhuti, not Tathagata Buddha or Cundi.

Independent of Lingshan and Heaven, Master Subhuti is truly a great hermit and immortal who has transcended the Three Realms and Five Elements, with strength no weaker than that of the Four Emperors and Five Elders, otherwise Heaven would not allow Lingtai Fangcun Mountain to disobey Heaven's control.

After Hu Xiuwu figured it out, he followed Sun Wukong out of the Huaidu Water God's Mansion and came to the hesitant Little Yellow Dragon. He said "as usual" and ignored the stunned Little Yellow Dragon, and left the Huai River with Sun Wukong.

Even after Hu Xiuwu and Sun Wukong had emerged from the water and flown away on a cloud, the little yellow dragon still stood there like a wooden chicken, not moving an inch.

Du Weizhi couldn't bear to watch, so he quietly pulled the little yellow dragon to help him come back to his senses, and whispered, "Lord Long, are you okay?"

The little yellow dragon shook his head and walked back to his Water God Palace, but he was still muttering in his heart:

"Why do you keep doing the same thing when you have such a bright future ahead of you?"

······

I emerged from the water and rode the clouds high up, landing at Jindou Mountain. The gods greeted me with a smile, but they didn't know who I was.

The Star God bowed his back, the King of Heaven and the Third Prince greeted him with smiles, especially Nezha who still maintained his youthful image.

He didn't care about any rules or etiquette. He followed the monkey with a smile on his face, stroked the monkey's hair and called him brother. He didn't take the old man with a sullen face beside him seriously at all.

However, all these smiles and enthusiasm were directed at Sun Wukong. Most people did not know Hu Xiuwu's background, but just nodded slightly for Sun Wukong's sake.

Nezha just gave Hu Xiuwu a haughty, condescending look.

Sun Wukong introduced the gods present to Hu Xiuwu. In fact, Hu Xiuwu knew most of them.

In other words, except for the Water God and the Fire God who had never appeared in Black Myth, Hu Xiuwu really couldn't recognize them. As for other gods, Hu Xiuwu could guess the identities of them just by looking at their iconic features.

For example, the cold and beautiful dragon girl in red clothes and a golden necklace, even without Sun Wukong telling her, Hu Xiuwu could guess that she was Kang Jinlong among the Twenty-Four Star Gods.

After a quick glance, Hu Xiuwu found that all the weapons of the gods present were gone, and only Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was still holding the exquisite pagoda.

Because he arrived late and did not see the situation at that time, Hu Xiuwu was not sure whether the Green Bull Demon really knew what was going on or Li Jing did not dare to take action for fear of really losing Nezha's father.

This is not a joke. If the tower was not in his hands, Li Jing would be really panicked when facing Nezha. Perhaps Nezha would not really kill Li Jing for the sake of the Heavenly Palace and his mother.

But he beat Li Jing violently and shattered his body, so that he could also taste the incarnation of lotus.

Nezha is definitely capable of doing such a thing.

"Brother, this old man is Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng."

Hu Xiuwu, who was daydreaming, suddenly heard the name Taibai Jinxing.

Alas! Even Taibai Jinxing came down to earth to help Sun Wukong, but this was not mentioned in the original novel.

Hu Xiuwu had a hunch that Taibai Jinxing came down to earth not because this was the world of dark mythology, but because of him.

Taibai Jinxing wanted to see Hu Xiuwu with his own eyes. How could the Heavenly Court recognize Hu Xiuwu's origins just because of some speculations and Sun Wukong's one-sided statement? Taibai Jinxing came to verify some rumors about Hu Xiuwu.

"Haha, this must be the Immortal Master Hu Xiuwu, he really has an immortal bearing and a noble demeanor."

This is exactly the same as in Journey to the West. Taibai Jinxing is good at dancing with long sleeves, eloquent and good at speaking. He often represents the Heavenly Court to send out foreign forces and welcome distinguished guests. He is the Jade Emperor's confidant and think tank.

However, Hu Xiuwu really didn't understand why the Jade Emperor valued him so much when he hadn't done anything great yet.

Sending Taibai Jinxing to examine him personally is already a great treatment for Monkey King.

Moreover, Monkey King did not have this treatment at the beginning. When he was just born, the light from his eyes could shoot from the Flower-Fruit Mountain into the Lingxiao Palace. Even the Jade Emperor did not find such a good fortune so novel or amazing.

According to the original Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor went through 128,000 tribulations, and yet Sun Wukong was so loved by heaven and earth that he gave birth to this divine creature. Others might be shocked, but He was not.

He has experienced the creation of the world several times, so what's so strange about a monkey transformed from a magic stone?

If Sun Wukong had not been chosen by Lingshan to become Jin Chanzi's guardian disciple, the Jade Emperor might not have even looked at him.

Why was he valued so much by the Jade Emperor as soon as he was born?

The only thing Hu Xiuwu could think of was the identity that the monkey had given him.

Taibai Jinxing was not coming for him personally, but for the Patriarch Subhuti who was "behind" him. He wanted to win over Patriarch Subhuti by winning over him.

Moreover, his conflict with the Five Directions Jie Di at the Five Elements Mountain also added a lot of points to him.

The relationship between Heaven and Lingshan is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface. There are undercurrents and intrigues everywhere.

There are only so many resources in the world, and both the Buddha and the Jade Emperor want to become dictators who monopolize the four continents.

After thinking about this for a while, Hu Xiuwu finally greeted him with a smile: "No, Taibai Xingjun, you are too polite. Compared to you, I am just a junior."

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. At this juncture, whoever turns his face black first will lose.

Sun Wukong really couldn't stand this: "You two stop laughing, it's really uncomfortable to watch."

It's a double entendre, and I don't know if Sun Wukong meant it on purpose.

"This rascal monkey." Taibai Jinxing complained in his heart and said to Sun Wukong apologetically: "I understand that the Great Sage is eager to save Master, and it is me who delayed him."

"With Immortal Hu's help this time, together with the Third Prince and the Great Sage, we will definitely be able to capture the Green Bull Demon."

The original plan in Journey to the West was very strange. Sun Wukong once again turned into a mosquito and stole the magic weapons of other gods. He also used the magic weapon of Fire Star God, 'Nanming Jinghuo', to set a fire to the Green Bull Demon.

Then, the gods took back the magic weapon and challenged the Green Bull Demon once again, but they didn't gain any experience and the magic weapon was taken back by the demon again.

To be honest, when I saw this passage, Hu Xiuwu felt that some of the conspiracy theories about Journey to the West were not completely without reason and were just groundless fantasies.

This time, Taibai Jinxing asked Sun Wukong to invite Hu Xiuwu to come. Sun Wukong, Nezha, and Hu Xiuwu went up with bare hands to deal with that

Sun Wukong rubbed his hands together and said, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, this time I will break off the horn of the green bull and make it into a cup for my brother."

Nezha was full of indignation: "You monkey, you are really biased. I came to help you first, but you sided with others."

Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "Good brother, I will remember your kindness in helping me. I will skin him and make you a pair of boots."

Nezha was also a young man, and he immediately changed his anger into joy: "Okay, I'm riding on the Wind Fire Wheel, and I just need a pair of good boots."

"Ahem." Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who was holding Nezha's "father", interrupted, "What do you mean by breaking off the horns and peeling off the skin? We are righteous gods, how can we be so barbaric? After we capture the Green Bull Demon, we must bring it back to the Heavenly Palace and let Your Majesty deal with it."

When Nezha heard this, he turned his head away, and Sun Wukong's mouth corners curled up.

Hu Xiuwu spoke out what was in their hearts: "So the Heavenly Court acts so elegantly, then I will just kill him directly."

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, froze in thought as he looked at Hu Xiuwu's sincere eyes. He didn't know whether Hu Xiuwu really didn't understand or was intentionally being sarcastic with him.

On the contrary, Nezha heard this and ran over, patting Hu Xiuwu on the shoulder with a smile: "Good brother, I was negligent just now."

As long as you don't get along with Li Jing, you are my good brother.

Sun Wukong directly pulled Hu Xiuwu and Nezha over and said, "Don't say anything afterward. Let's go beat that bastard up first and tie him up first."

Nezha was very excited: "Okay, I'm going to smash that bull head to pieces."

Hu Xiuwu sighed: "This monkey is really worldly-wise."

Sun Wukong was speaking for Hu Xiuwu, but he also fulfilled the wish of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

If we tie up the Green Bull Demon, we can save his life.

Obviously, the journey to the West was already halfway done and Sun Wukong already had a plan in mind.

Monsters are different from each other. Some monsters can be killed directly, but some monsters will be taken away by gods and Buddhas and "strictly guarded and well trained."
