One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 744: The Journey to the West is Successful, Xiuwu's Thoughts Moved

Time passed as bricks were piled up one by one, turning into a wall, a room, a palace, and a city.

Ten years have passed, and Sanhe City is still under construction. There are millions of residents in the city, hundreds of markets, nearly a thousand Taoist temples, and tens of thousands of gods are worshipped in the city.

There are only a few hundred markets, but there are thousands of Taoist temples dedicated to gods. There are nearly ten Taoist temples in each market, and the gods worshipped are countless. All the gods in heaven are here.

The majestic city with a plaque of "Sanhe City" hanging on the city gate has become the largest city in the entire Northern Continent and the most important faith acquisition point of the Heavenly Court in Northern Continent.

With Sanhe City as the radiation point, Uttarakuru has broken away from tribal civilization and is moving towards city-states and countries.

A prosperous capital is a beacon. A flourishing civilization can be seen even in the sky. The Great Wall, which stretches for thousands of miles, can be seen even on the moon.

So, just as Hu Xiuwu was meditating, a cloud of auspiciousness flew at an extremely fast speed, without turning, and flew straight over Sanhe City.

The cloud is extremely fast and calls out:

"Xiuwu, Xiuwu! I, Old Sun, am here to see you!"

In the Cloud Courtyard above Sanhe City, Hu Xiuwu woke up from his meditation, opened his eyes helplessly, looked to the west, and saw the howling cloud.

He was very familiar with this cloud. Patriarch Bodhi once wanted to give him one, but he declined. The sword escape of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, apart from being more powerful, was indeed the fastest in the Three Realms.

Coming from the west at high speed was the Somersault Cloud. Yes, in the Black Myth, the Somersault Cloud was a magical weapon made by divine power.

Outside of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, it goes without saying who else has the Somersault Cloud.

Of course it’s the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

Hu Xiuwu blinked and recalled the story of Journey to the West.

After Huang Mei, the remaining tribulations were just for show, and there was no big demon king that Sun Wukong needed to ask for help from.

Journey to the West requires everyone to travel a long distance on foot to Mount Lingshan to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Since Sun Wukong can come riding on a cloud, it must mean that the Journey to the West has come to an end.

Hu Xiuwu's Cloud Courtyard was not covered, so when Sun Wukong flew to Sanhe City, he saw it immediately with his flaming eyes and somersaulted onto the Cloud Courtyard.

The somersault cloud was taken back and Sun Wukong revealed his true form.

It was a spirited and high-spirited look that Hu Xiuwu had never seen before.

He wore a phoenix-wing purple gold crown on his head, kingfisher-inlaid flying dragon buckles on his hands, a gold chain mail armor on his body, and lotus silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet.

I am mighty and high-spirited, unbridled and carefree, with a stick in my hand that can stir up a hundred thousand soldiers, and my golden eyes can pierce through the nine heavens. The Bodhisattva of Lingshan greets me, and the gods in heaven call me the Great Sage.

The Monkey King returns for a limited time!

Sun Wukong was very happy. When he saw an old acquaintance, he stopped acting politely and let his monkey nature show. He scratched his ears and cheeks, then jumped onto the cushion and squatted down.

"Good brother, I have been named Fighting Buddha, it's very glorious."

As soon as he arrived, Sun Wukong showed off to Hu Xiuwu.

Hu Xiuwu put his hand into his sleeve and said lightly, "Not bad."

"Buddha, I am now the Fighting and Victory Buddha. Do you know how many immortals are congratulating me now? Their envious eyes are redder than my butt."

There seemed to be dissatisfaction in his words, but in fact, Sun Wukong preferred Hu Xiuwu, who treated him sincerely.

Sun Wukong was more curious than dissatisfied. From the moment he saw him, Hu Xiuwu put his hands in his sleeves:

"What are you taking out?"

"Nothing." Hu Xiuwu said slowly, "It's just that someone told me that after I see you..."

After a pause, Hu Xiuwu seemed to have grasped something, while Sun Wukong turned his head and focused, as curious as a cat wondering what a mouse was holding:

"What are you going to do when you see me, Old Sun?"

Then, Sun Wukong watched Hu Xiuwu take out a ruler that looked very familiar to him from his sleeve!

Sun Wukong's mind was still recalling where he had seen this ruler before. His body had already sat up straight and lowered its head, placing it under the ruler like a wooden fish waiting to be struck.

clang!clang!clang!

Hu Xiuwu knocked three times in a row, releasing a crisp sound of metal and stone colliding, which made him exclaim in admiration:

"Good head."

Having completed his mission, the ruler in Hu Xiuwu's hand dissipated into mist.

"Hiss~" The familiar pain and the familiar touch immediately triggered Sun Wukong's memories. He grinned and was excited.

"you···"

Hu Xiuwu smiled: "Who told you to talk nonsense outside? Of course you must be punished."

Sun Wukong stroked his hairy head and said indignantly, "How dare you say that? Haven't you been punished?"

Of course not. Hu Xiuwu coughed lightly, and Sun Wukong looked at him suspiciously.

Hu Xiuwu waved his hand, and a set of jade plates and golden cups appeared on the table in front of him. The jade plates contained red fruits, peaches and even yellow plums produced in Kunlun, while the golden cups contained Tiangong Jade Liquor.

At the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet, only the Five Elders were allowed to attend the banquet.

Sun Wukong immediately sat down obediently, picked up a peach, and ate it with great joy: "Good brother, where did you get all these good treasures?"

Hu Xiuwu took a sip of the jade liquid and bit a yellow plum. His mouth felt fragrant. The jade liquid was nourishing and the yellow plum was warming.

Suddenly, the three dantians in the body were filled, which increased his strength by three days and saved him three days of hard work.

He is already a Taiyi Golden Immortal like Sun Wukong. A treasure that can increase the Golden Immortal's power is no ordinary treasure.

When Sun Wukong made a scene at the Peach Banquet, he didn't even eat a few yellow plums.

Hu Xiuwu said, "Just eat yours. It was given to me by Taibai Jinxing the other day."

Sun Wukong was surprised: "That old man Taibai Jinxing would give you such a precious thing. The other day when I became the Fighting Buddha, his gift was only eighteen pots of fairy wine and eighteen boxes of spiritual fruits. Why is he so generous to you?"

Hu Xiuwu took a sip of wine and didn't explain further.

The story here is much more complicated, involving the secret struggle between Heaven and Lingshan.

The completion of Sanhe City can continuously provide spiritual energy to the Heavenly Palace. The lineage of the Great Emperor Zhenwu has successfully completed the mission. Zhenwu has been rewarded and has led his generals to Wudang Mountain in Nanchanbuzhou to enjoy life.

Hu Xiuwu was the only one left in Beijuluzhou, and his immortal rank had not been promoted. The Taishang Laojun who came to issue the decree said that Sanhe City was important and needed a god to guard it, and Hu Xiuwu had taken care of it from scratch and was familiar with the situation, so he was the best candidate to guard Beijuluzhou.

In this way, all the immortals of the Zhenwu lineage were happily promoted and could return to the Nanchanbu Continent they had always longed for. Only Hu Xiuwu became the only divine general left in Beijulu Continent.

This action of the Heavenly Court satisfied Lingshan's face.

Of course, Hu Xiuwu also received compensation. The person who came was the versatile Taibai Jinxing. How could he be so rude? The Heavenly Court regarded Hu Xiuwu as a knife to deal with Lingshan.

If you don't take good care of yourself and maintain your relationship, you never know whether you will kill the enemy or hurt yourself when the sword is unsheathed.

Of course, Sun Wukong was an accident. This monkey had a very bad temper when he was first born, and he exploded when he was given the position of Bi Ma Wen. Even though he was the nephew of the Jade Emperor, he was just a small official when he first joined the Heavenly Court. How could he achieve success overnight? Those who hold high positions must go through a process.

As a result, before the Jade Emperor could figure out Sun Wukong's character, he ran away first.

This kind of mistake will never happen again with Hu Xiuwu. Although we didn't give Hu Xiuwu face, we must give him enough substance.

Taibai Jinxing secretly complained to Hu Xiuwu, saying that the Heavenly Court was in such a difficult situation, and then gave Hu Xiuwu a lot of rewards.

Thousands of hu of jade liquid, hundreds of loads of peaches, and various elixirs refined by the Jade Emperor. Knowing that Hu Xiuwu liked to collect magical herbs and flowers, he catered to his tastes and gave him quite a few magical herbs and flowers.

It can be said that Hu Xiuwu has collected all the ingredients for making wine and alchemy in the Black Myth in just this one wave, and planted them all in the Utopia. He also specially created a group of disciplined, honest and hardworking rats to take care of these rare flowers and plants.

"... It's really unfair. Brother, with your martial arts skills, the Heavenly Court only uses you as a small city god!"

Sun Wukong slapped the table so hard that the dishes and cups bounced.

Although Hu Xiuwu didn't say anything, Sun Wukong was so smart that he guessed Hu Xiuwu's current situation without much thought.

Sun Wukong already had some resentment towards the Heavenly Palace, and now seeing Hu Xiuwu following his old path, he was of course even more angry with Hu Xiuwu.

Hu Xiuwu was much calmer: "I didn't do anything wrong, and I don't feel wronged, why are you angry on my behalf?"

Sun Wukong yelled, "I'm speaking up for you, and you still... Fine, fine, fine, if you don't want to say anything, then don't say anything... Drink, drink!"

It has been a long time since I tasted such high-quality fairy fruit jade liquid. What's even better is that the people I ate with were good brothers who didn't require me to disguise myself or observe those etiquettes.

Sun Wukong ate happily and drank till he was drunk.

After eating and drinking his fill, he rode on a cloud, twisting and turning, back to the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

“Don’t drive when you drink, and don’t drink when you drive.”

Hu Xiuwu watched Sun Wukong leave, shook his head and sighed.

After cleaning up the mess in the house, Hu Xiuwu suddenly thought: "Now that the quest for scriptures is complete, that place must be empty now."

He had something in his hand that was so precious that Hu Xiuwu had never found a treasure suitable for it, but it had been idle for a long time.

Squinting his eyes, Hu Xiuwu murmured, "It seems like it's time for me to go out for a while."

He released several Peach Blossom Land monsters to guard the Cloud Courtyard, and Hu Xiuwu transformed into a brilliant lightning and headed straight for Xiniu Hezhou.
