Chapter 1434: The Stone Monkey Goes to Sea to Learn
The stone monkey in the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain suddenly woke up with a start. This time, his body was even more exhausted than the previous times combined. He could barely stand up. He hurriedly asked Marshal Ma beside him, "How long have I been unconscious?"

The red-butted monkey replied slowly, "Your Majesty has been unconscious since the twentieth day of the eighth month in the mortal world, without eating or drinking. Today is the twentieth day of the twelfth month, so a total of four months have passed since then."

The stone monkey was shocked, and then felt extremely annoyed. In his dream, he saw Yang Jian killing people everywhere, but he had the strength but couldn't use it.

This is not a dream, but one dream after another, a chain of dreams. The dreams are almost the same every time, but I just can't beat Yang Jian.

Listening to what Yang Jian said, it seems that he led the troops to massacre the Meishan people himself. Logically, Yang Jian can't be blamed for this. You have already attacked people at their home, and you don't allow them to resist? This doesn't make sense.

He understands the truth, but he lost so badly!
He has a competitive personality. If he knew nothing, it would be fine. But now that he knows that there is such a powerful Yang Jian, his mentality has changed a little.

While a group of monkeys were laughing and cursing, he found a very straight branch in the mountains and used it as a long stick to practice his moves alone. Among them were moves he had figured out himself, as well as some of Yang Jian's moves.

"My king! Let me touch it!"

"My lord, what is this? It's so beautiful!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The other monkeys couldn't tell whether the moves were good or bad, so they just thought it was very funny. The stone monkey laughed, and the gloom in his heart was cleared away a little.

As he was talking, the topic went off topic. The monkeys thought the straight wooden stick in his hand was interesting. Some wanted to play with it, while others wanted to find straighter branches. Soon, the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain was filled with monkeys looking for branches. They would even compare with each other, saying, "Your stick is straighter, and looks good when you dance with it. Your stick is not bad either, but it's not smooth enough."

Anyone who holds a long, straight stick will instantly become the focus of the entire tribe.

Even the stone monkey was affected by this commotion and joined in the activity. It was not until a month later when the dream appeared again that he woke up in shock. What had he been doing for the past month?
This dream was not as exaggerated as the previous one. He was "released" after a month, but he was still defeated miserably, with no hope of winning at all.

The stone monkey then wandered between reality and dreams, and was occasionally influenced by the group of monkeys and his own nature of yearning for freedom, but the desire to win in his heart was also growing.

heaven.

Old Zhu rubbed his ears.

Damn it, why did my ears and my whole body hurt when I woke up, as if I had been bitten by something twice.

He looked at the beautiful girl beside him.

Originally, he still had some thoughts about Chang'e. Wu Gang, a mere figure, posed no threat to him, Marshal Tianpeng. However, Chang'e had reconciled with Houyi now, and it would be inappropriate to pester him at this time. It happened that the Jade Emperor asked all the fairies to tighten their belts. As a confidant, Zhu still had some surplus food. Some smart fairies would come to him from time to time to ask for money, and he would accept all of them.

The fairies were so demanding, and he felt like he was hurting both his body and his wallet. He wished he could just rest for a few days.
Just as he was thinking about it, the beautiful lady beside him woke up and said with a charming look: "Marshal, I am hungry."

"Little darling, I'm here to feed you! Hahahaha——"

Meishan.

Yang Jian was defeated again, and his three-pointed, double-edged sword was picked up by Nezha's Fire Dragon Spear. "Brother Yang, why are you distracted during the battle?" Nezha was a little annoyed. You are distracted during the battle, are you looking down on me?
Yang Jian also suffered greatly from the dream, but he had always been the victorious one, so the impact was relatively small. Before, during the fight, he couldn't help but use the techniques of a stick to use the three-pointed, two-edged sword, and that was when Nezha saw the flaw.

No, I can’t use a stick, so I’d better just use a knife!
Every month, the stone monkey would fight with Yang Jian in his dream for a month. He would be defeated every time, but he would fight again and again.

This dream was a combination of reality and illusion. The four warriors on his side were all fake, but he and Yang Jian opposite him were very real. The big black pig named "Incompetence" next to him was also very real. All three were affected by this strange dream.

The stone monkey tried to learn Yang Jian's moves. He was like a blank sheet of paper. He could learn everything quickly, but he could not learn the magic and Taoist methods. No matter how high his comprehension was, it was useless. These things could not be learned just by looking at them. He needed someone to teach him how to use the power in his body.

After being beaten by Yang Jian for three years, and with the intentional or unintentional persuasion of the Red-butt Monkey, he finally made up his mind to temporarily give up his carefree life in the Water Curtain Cave and go out to sea to seek immortals.

He wants to learn some skills and then defeat Yang Jian!
"Brother Taoist, the stone monkey has left Huaguo Mountain. Please make preparations early." Deng Chanyu said to Bodhi Patriarch at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Among the saints, Niangniang Pingxin is basically related to Daji. As a family member, it is difficult to measure the friendly relationship between Deng Chanyu and the two. It can only be said that they are relatively friendly.

The other six saints have different degrees of closeness.

She is closest to Nuwa, and they have become like family. Even if they haven't seen each other for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, they will not feel unfamiliar with each other.

Her relationship with Jie Yin and Zhunti is of a lower level. They are just good friends, and this relationship requires some energy and time to maintain.

Next up is the relationship with Tongtian Jiaozhu. The two sides can only be described as friendly, not cordial, because they are not friends.

Yuanshi Tianzun’s friendship is basically just verbal, while Taiqing’s relationship is purely a working relationship.

With the relationship between Jie Yin and Zhunti as a foundation, she also had a very harmonious relationship with Bodhi Patriarch. At this time, she did not hide anything and asked about Bodhi Patriarch's next arrangements.

Patriarch Bodhi said, "The stone monkey has a stubborn temper and needs to be tempered. Let him see more of the mundane world."

Deng Chanyu wished she could send Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, and the others on their pilgrimage. "I know a little bit of martial arts?" That's a small problem. Just increase the difficulty. "Wild and untamable?" That's a small problem. Just make it a little more difficult.

She felt that what Patriarch Bodhi said, "Pay more attention to the worldly affairs of life," was unnecessary.

Can you imagine the scene of the monkey dressed as a scholar like Xu Xian, standing on a small boat, worrying about the country and the people and saying, "It is sad that the palaces of the Qin and Han dynasties have all turned to dust"?
Monkey is not of that kind of personality and he can't do these things.

It would be better to fight two monsters than to let him temper his mind in the mundane world.

However, the relationship between Bodhi Patriarch and the monkey as master and disciple was predestined by heaven. Deng Chanyu also knew that haste makes waste, so it was unrealistic to arrange for them to go fetch the scriptures immediately.

"Just as I say, Brother Dao."
