One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 760: The Destiny Cycle Begins

When Hu Xiuwu was recuperating from his injuries and living in seclusion, an old monkey with a rosary in his hand and a halo on his back suddenly walked out of the mountain stream in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, which was under close surveillance by the Heavenly Court.

He took in the remaining monkeys of Sun Wukong, enlightened the smart and clever monkeys in the group, and taught them to read and write, meditate, and practice martial arts.

In his spare time, he would tell them the story of Sun Wukong. When some monkeys had learned enough and wanted to go on the journey to the West again to become the new Monkey King, the old monkey did not stop them from going out to explore the world, but only explained the possible final outcome.

If the monkey has made up his mind, the old monkey will not interfere with his fate. He will only carve a willow stick for the monkey and send him on his way.

But the monkeys that went out all ended up dying in a foreign land.

Martial arts that can dominate the monkey group in Huaguo Mountain are sometimes common in the outside world.

The so-called talent is nothing more than a gift that most monks have.

For some reason, the Heavenly Court tolerated the actions of the "old monkey", but the Heavenly Court paid special attention to the monkeys and descendants sent away by the old monkey.

The Heavenly Court was nervous about the 'man of destiny' mentioned by the old monkey. They were worried that the monkey would be reincarnated. Although they had checked and found that the monkey's head had indeed been beaten to pieces by Erlang Shen Yang Jian, and even his six senses had been separated.

Sun Wukong was dead without a trace left, but they were still worried.

That monkey is used to working miracles.

Therefore, every monkey sent out by the "old monkey" was closely monitored by them. In addition, since the monkeys were no longer popular, most of the heavenly officials in the heaven were eager to distance themselves from the monkeys and were very harsh to the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain.

But when he saw that most of the monkeys were defeated, even the resentful spirit Elder Jin Chi couldn't beat them.

A monkey head that even a tiger vanguard can gnaw on is not worthy of the attention of Heaven.

The gods laughed and ignored him, thinking that the old monkey was just gambling.

When monkeys break through Huangshaling, it will not be too late for them to get nervous.

The Heavenly Court is no longer concerned with the monkey, but is more concerned with a living "evil obstacle" who has cut off the four evil spirits.

But there are always people who remember the monkey and the fire that the monkey started.

"...This basket of spiritual materials is my reward for asking you to look after my useless disciple."

A Taoist priest whose name is unknown gave a basket of precious spiritual objects to the land god of Black Wind Mountain.

This basket of treasures is extremely valuable to the Black Wind Mountain land. His life is coming to an end. Without the magical fruit to prolong his life, he will probably return to the underworld.

Gods are not immortal. Even the Buddha and the Jade Emperor will one day enter Nirvana and go through reincarnation. How could a mere mountain god like him be qualified to be exempted from the cycle of life and death.

There was actually a hermit who specially gave him a basket of precious treasures, which made the Black Wind Mountain land flattered.

He asked with some caution: "Who is your disciple?"

The hermit, wearing a scholar's shirt embroidered with bodhi leaves, stroked his beard and smiled:

"I won't mention the name. As long as the old man sees a visitor who looks like an old friend, he can just take care of him a little more."

Seeing this, the land master of Black Wind Mountain couldn't help but say, "It seems that the layman really likes this disciple."

Otherwise, how could I smile knowingly whenever I think of him?

The hermit restrained his smile and said, "It's just that my disciples always have their own ideas. They are arrogant and always get into trouble. They also cause my reputation to be damaged."

The land god of Black Wind Mountain put away the spiritual object and shrank his neck.

"Isn't he pointing this at me?"

The land god of Black Wind Mountain was just about to test it a bit more, but the unknown hermit in front of him disappeared under his gaze.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the land of Black Wind Mountain shuddered, and said to itself with a self-deprecating tone: "I'm old, old, and I talk too much." I forgot that sometimes I should just shut up.

huh~

A whirlwind blew up from the flat ground, and the wind penetrated into the earth, carrying the land from the Black Wind Mountain back to the land temple.

The land god of Black Wind Mountain returned to the land temple, but Black Wind Mountain did not stop.

One gust of wind chases another gust of wind; the treetops on one end are quiet, while those on the other end are noisy.

The mountain wind never stops, a Bodhi leaf falls to the ground, and the hermit Black Face appears on an inconspicuous leeward slope of the Black Wind Mountain.

"Why don't you come out! I gave you Zhengli Wuying. Did I ask you to chase me?"

The hermit scolded with a sullen face, in a bush full of flowers.

Hearing the hermit's rebuke, Hu Xiuwu also appeared in the time and space, causing the flowers to sway.

Hu Xiuwu bowed and said, "Disciple, I greet you, Master. How is your health?"

The hermit was none other than Subhuti. At this moment, Subhuti said angrily, "How can I be healthy with you and that monkey around?"

Master Subhuti thought that Hu Xiuwu might not cause any trouble, but he never expected that Sun Wukong, who he thought would be obedient for a while, would rebel first and leave Lingshan.

He was besieged by the Heavenly Court again, but this time he refused to surrender and died. How could he not feel sorry for him?

Now, facing Hu Xiuwu, he certainly didn't have a good face, and there was some resentment towards Hu Xiuwu for not dissuading Sun Wukong.

Hu Xiuwu seemed not to notice, and instead said in a rather rebellious tone: "The teacher came here, it seems that he still cares about the monkey, and is not as cold-hearted as he appears to be, and does not care about the monkey."

Patriarch Bodhi frowned, keenly catching some details: "You and the monkey really had an agreement. The monkey attracted many soldiers from the heaven to capture him in order to help you."

Hu Xiuwu shook his head and said, "No, it was the monkey who came to consult with me. He originally wanted to ask me to take care of the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, but when he knew that I was also going to revolt, he asked someone else to do it."

Patriarch Bodhi was surprised and said, "Besides you, that monkey actually has a friend he can trust. Is that person also capable of protecting the people of Huaguo Mountain?"

"That White Bone Demon... No, she's already dead. Moreover, her friendship with the monkey has ended, so it's unlikely that she would help him. The Altar Cleansing Envoy? No, even if he wanted to help the monkey, he doesn't have the strength to do so, and he doesn't dare to cheat under the eyes of the Heavenly Court."

After guessing several people, Bodhi Patriarch finally thought of the most unlikely person: "Yang Jian."

"Yes, it was him. He was the only one who could protect Huaguo Mountain afterwards without being held accountable or suspected."

He had just killed Sun Wukong, but he left the monkeys and their descendants in Huaguo Mountain. This was something that Yang Jian, who was of noble character, could do.

No one thought that this was actually what Sun Wukong asked Yang Jian to do before his death.

Who would have thought that the arrogant Sun Wukong had already anticipated that he would die in this battle, so he had made preparations early on.

Hu Xiuwu handed the Four Rivers Dragon God to Patriarch Bodhi and explained the whole story. He was not a man who did not keep his word.

Patriarch Bodhi disagreed and put it directly into his sleeve, and released it in the mountains when he returned to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

It was a small matter. He had already raised two famous rebels from the Heavenly Court. What was the big deal about taking in four little dragons who had escaped from their duties? He didn't worry about too much debt.

After putting his hands into his sleeves, Patriarch Bodhi asked, "What on earth are you and that monkey going to do?"

Originally, he thought that the so-called destined man by the 'old monkey' was Sun Wukong's backup, but now it is clear that Hu Xiuwu is involved, and the truth of the matter will probably become even more confusing.

Hu Xiuwu did not answer directly: "Five hundred years later, you will know."

For some things, the more people know about them, the more dangerous it may be.

In Black Myth, perhaps as a tribute to the classic, it will take another five hundred years for the destined person who truly makes it through the Journey to the West to be born.
