Chapter 115 Unable to Face His Villagers, Sun Wukong Angrily Heads to Guanjiang Estuary! (Please Subscribe)

The banquet has been set up.

Niu Jun then invited the Lion Camel King and the Yu Rong King to a banquet together.

The five saints reunited, reminiscing about the past and enjoying themselves immensely in a wonderful atmosphere.

"Eldest brother, how are second and third brothers doing now?"

When the banquet reached its climax, the topic turned to the sworn brotherhood of the Seven Great Sages. Sun Wukong was filled with emotion and couldn't help but ask about the situation of the Great Sage Overturning the Sea, the Flood Dragon Demon King, and the Great Sage Chaos of Heaven, the Roc Demon King.

Niu Jun smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, you may not know this, but your second brother, the Flood Dragon King, is no longer at his peak. He has become a disciple of an ancient demon god in the Boundless Sea and is currently cultivating diligently there. Naturally, he cannot attend this banquet."

"As for the third brother, Peng Demon King?"

The Bull Demon King paused slightly at this point, then asked, "Do you know the Demon Master Kunpeng?"

Demon Master Kunpeng!

Upon hearing these four words, Sun Wukong was greatly surprised and hurriedly asked, "Brother, could the Demon Master Kunpeng you mentioned be the one who created the Demon Script in ancient times and was appointed as the Demon Master by the ancient Heavenly Court?"

If it were 500 years ago...

Sun Wukong certainly didn't know who the demon master Kunpeng was.

But the Sun Wukong of today is not the Sun Wukong of five hundred years ago.

Using the Great Dream Reincarnation Method taught by Niu Jun, he traveled through countless ages in his dreams, witnessing the wonders of the ancient Heavenly Court and all the races of heaven and earth more than once. Although he could not be said to know everything about those top supernatural beings of the ancient times, he was no longer as ignorant and fearless as he had been in the past.

He was particularly impressed by the powerful beings who were also members of the demon race.

So when I heard the words "Demon Master Kunpeng," I immediately thought of that demon sage in the ancient Heavenly Court.

Niu Jun wasn't too surprised by Sun Wukong's reaction and laughed, "That's right, the demon master Kunpeng I mentioned is the same demon master from the ancient Heavenly Court."

Say it.

As if hinting at something, he continued, "The Peng in your third brother Peng Demon King's name is not the Peng in Golden-Winged Roc, but the Peng in Kunpeng."

"Now that Demon Master Kunpeng has established the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons in Beiju Luzhou, it is already the target of the Heavenly Court's attack. Your third brother's identity is sensitive, so naturally he cannot come to the Heavenly Court for the banquet."

"If you want to see the second and third brothers, you'll probably have to go to the North Sea and the Boundless Sea."

Niu Jun smiled and began to explain things to Sun Wukong.

Whether it's the ancient demon master in the North Sea or the ancient demon saint in the Boundless Sea, they are both remnants of the ancient demon court. The Peng Demon King and the Jiao Demon King have close ties with them, so how could they possibly come to the Heavenly Court for a banquet?

Of course, Niu Jun didn't pay much attention to the two demons.
Just as he never took the Lion Camel King and his three demons, or even Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, seriously.

The so-called sworn brotherhood of the Seven Great Sages was nothing more than a temporary gathering of a few drinking buddies.

In fact, if Sun Wukong hadn't suddenly suggested becoming sworn brothers during a banquet after gaining the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven, and everyone hadn't wanted to spoil his fun, it would have been strange if the seven great sages hadn't formed their sworn brotherhood.

What are fair-weather friends?

As the saying goes: You don't see them when there's trouble, but you see them everywhere when there's nothing to do.

We drink and eat together, but our friendship is hard to keep in our hearts. When we're drunk, we call each other brothers, but when we wake up, we go our separate ways.

True feelings are revealed at the dinner table; the drinks may end, but the friendship remains.

These are fair-weather friends.

"I see. I didn't expect Third Brother to have such connections."

Sun Wukong never expected that the Great Sage of Chaos, Peng Demon King, would have such a background, actually being related to the ancient demon master Kunpeng.

Although Niu Jun didn't explain things very clearly.

But Sun Wukong understood the meaning behind those words.

The Peng in Peng Demon King is not the Peng of Golden-Winged Roc, but the Peng of Kunpeng. Therefore, even if Peng Demon King is not the offspring of the ancient demon master Kunpeng, they must be closely related, and he may even be the second Kunpeng in the world.

Niu Jun smiled but remained silent in response to Sun Wukong's words.

If we're really talking about background, I'm afraid none of you here can compare to you, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

After all, this monkey was a secret artifact left in the Journey to the West world before the creation of the world by the Supreme Being. Its birth was based on the essence of the entire Earthly Immortal Realm, and it probably caught the eye of those great supernatural beings long before the primordial chaos was separated.

To quote the original work.

Huaguo Mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. It was established when the clear and turbid were separated and formed after the primordial chaos was divided. It is the pillar supporting the sky where all rivers converge and the unmoving root of the earth through countless eons.

As early as ancient times, Huaguo Mountain was already the ancestral vein of the ten continents of the Earthly Immortal Realm and the source of the three overseas immortal islands. Even after thousands of great calamities, it has not moved an inch.

Such a precious place.

Niu Jun refused to believe that the ancient dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans wouldn't be envious, or that the ancient witch and demon clans would ignore it.

Those powerful beings in the Three Realms would not be curious about the birth of Sun Wukong.

Even putting yourself in someone else's shoes.

If Niu Jun were a native of the Journey to the West world and a great master of supernatural powers, he would surely have developed a great interest in Flower Fruit Mountain and Sun Wukong, and secretly studied the entire Flower Fruit Mountain and Sun Wukong thoroughly.

If the bright ones don’t work, then come the dark ones.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

Putting everything else aside, just consider the many little demons and monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain. With a simple transformation, they could easily sneak in and thoroughly investigate Flower Fruit Mountain and the celestial embryo before Sun Wukong's birth.

Thinking of this, Niu Jun's heart stirred slightly, and he asked Sun Wukong, "Seventh Brother, after you came out of the Five Elements Mountain, did you go back to Flower Fruit Mountain for a visit?"

But it was Niu Jun who suddenly thought of it.

Five hundred years ago in Huaguo Mountain, among the seventy-two demon kings and hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers and generals, were there any disguised powerful beings?

There were also Marshals Ma and Liu, Generals Ben and Ba, and more than 47,000 monkey soldiers under Sun Wukong's command.

How many of these demon kings and demon soldiers are left?

Putting everything else aside, just considering the monkeys in Flower Fruit Mountain, Niu Jun would be willing to risk his life to guarantee that among those 40,000-plus monkeys and their offspring, there must be aliases and alternate accounts possessing great supernatural powers.

Hearing Niu Jun's question.

Sun Wukong's eyes were slightly red as he said, "To be honest, elder brother, since I escaped from the Five Elements Mountain, I have thought about going back to the mountain to take a look more than once, but when I think of all that has happened, I never dare to go back."

Niu Jun remained silent upon hearing this.

When Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, faced a desperate situation, the ferryman of Wujiang came to ferry him across the river. What did he say?

Xiang Yu laughed and said, “Heaven has forsaken me, so why should I cross the river? I led eight thousand men from Jiangdong across the river to the west, and now not one of them has returned. Even if the elders and brothers of Jiangdong pity me and want me to be their king, how can I face them? Even if they say nothing, am I not ashamed in my heart?”

The Sun Wukong before them was far superior to Xiang Yu, knowing how to endure humiliation and hardship, which allowed him to escape from under the Five Elements Mountain.

But he felt guilty.

They were probably no less numerous than Xiang Yu back then, and like him, they dared not return to their hometowns, feeling ashamed to face the elders there.

"Seventh brother, there's no need for that."

As the saying goes: Victory and defeat are unpredictable in war, and a true man endures shame and humiliation. The sons of Jiangdong are many talented and capable, and it is not impossible for them to make a comeback.

"For us immortals and gods, temporary honor and disgrace are nothing. If you can't even let go of this honor and disgrace, it will be difficult for you to attain the Primordial Chaos." "In addition, after I returned from the Five Elements Mountain that day, I also went to Flower Fruit Mountain. The monkeys missed Seventh Brother very much."

"So if Seventh Brother has time, he might as well go back and visit to resolve his inner conflict."

Seeing Sun Wukong's gloomy expression, Niu Jun also spoke up to comfort him.

Of course, what he didn't say was that when he went to Flower Fruit Mountain, the monkeys there were in a rather bad situation.

In the words of the original text: "Pressing down from the clouds and opening my eyes to look, I saw that there were no flowers or grass on the mountain, and the mist and haze had all disappeared; the peaks and rocks had collapsed, and the trees were withered and scorched. How could it be like this?"

Because he caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace and took it to the mortal realm, this mountain was burned down by Erlang Shen, who led the seven brothers of Meishan.

Then the monkeys cried out, "Since Grandpa left, Erlang Bodhisattva set fire to this mountain and burned most of it to death."

“We squatted in wells, crawled into ravines, and hid under iron bridges to survive. But when the fire died down and the smoke cleared, we came out without flowers and fruits to nourish us, and it was difficult to survive. Half of us went elsewhere.”

"Our half of us, who have been living a hard life in the mountains, have had half of our land taken away by hunters in the last two years."

"Ever since the Great Sage captured the Upper Realm, we have suffered greatly at the hands of the hunters. How could we withstand their powerful crossbows and bows, their hawks and hounds, their nets and hooks? Therefore, we cherish our lives and dare not daring to play around. We simply hide deep in our caves and avoid our nests. When we are hungry, we steal grass from the hillside, and when we are thirsty, we drink from the clear spring water in the ravine."

"Speaking of that hunter, he was hateful! He would take those of us who were shot, wounded, or poisoned, skin them, debone them, boil them in soy sauce, steam them in vinegar, fry them in oil, and stir-fry them with salt, and eat them as a side dish."

Or perhaps some will be caught in a net, captured, and their skills taken away, taught to jump through hoops, do somersaults, stand on their hands like dragonflies, and be used to perform all sorts of amusing tricks in the streets, like beating drums and gongs.

"Five hundred years ago there were 47,000 monkey soldiers, but now only a little over a thousand old and young remain."

So never say that Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Sun Wukong have a good relationship.

The monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain met such a fate thanks in no small part to Erlang Shen Yang Jian, who was worth ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, and all the immortals and gods of the ten directions.

Only Sun Wukong was unaware of the fate of the monkeys and their followers on Flower Fruit Mountain.

Otherwise, Niu Jun wondered if he would go directly to Guanjiang Estuary to fight Erlang Shen to the death.

"Elder brother, can you tell me about the situation of the monkeys and their offspring in the mountains?"

When Sun Wukong heard from Niu Jun that he had been to Flower Fruit Mountain to take care of the monkeys, he felt grateful but also worried about the condition of the monkeys in the mountain.

Niu Jun shook his head and said truthfully, "It's not very good."

"In fact, long after you were captured and brought to the Heavenly Court, Erlang Shen set fire to Flower Fruit Mountain. Most of the demons in the mountain died, and the entire Flower Fruit Mountain was burned to the ground, with no flowers or grass, no smoke or clouds, collapsed peaks and rocks, and scorched trees."

"The remaining monkeys, deprived of the flowers and fruits in the mountains, could hardly survive. Half of them went elsewhere, and the remaining half were constantly hunted by other demons and hunters. When I arrived, the former 47,000 monkey soldiers had dwindled to less than 3,000."

"Most importantly, you caused a great disturbance in the underworld and burned the list of life and death of the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain. Therefore, most of these monkeys did not even get to reincarnate after they died, and their souls were already scattered."

Regarding the situation at Huaguo Mountain.

Niu Jun told Sun Wukong the truth without hiding anything or exaggerating anything.

Sun Wukong suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing with fury, and roared, "Erlang Shen Yang Jian, you've gone too far!"

Say it.

His anger was burning fiercely, and he was no longer drunk. He picked up his golden cudgel and was about to storm the mouth of the Guanjiang River.

It should be noted that five hundred years ago, Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and others led 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to besiege Flower Fruit Mountain twice. They only killed the demons in the mountain and dealt with the monkeys and their offspring on Flower Fruit Mountain lightly, resulting in very few casualties.

Unexpectedly, Erlang Shen's fire killed most of the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain.

The remaining monkey troops also struggled to survive because Flower Fruit Mountain was burned down. As a result, after two or three hundred years, of the more than 47,000 monkey soldiers in Flower Fruit Mountain, only less than 3,000 remained.

How could Sun Wukong not be furious and enraged?

Ignoring the three demons, Lion Camel King, he immediately transformed into a golden light and left the Heavenly Venerable's Palace, then somersaulted straight to Guanjiang Estuary.

"Elder brother, will something happen to our seventh brother?"

Seeing Sun Wukong leave, the Lion Camel King asked with concern.

Niu Jun sat there, calmly downed the wine in his glass, and said in a calm tone, "It's alright, let Lao Qi make a fuss. If he really kept quiet and could tolerate this, he wouldn't be Lao Qi."

to be frank.

Niu Jun still can't figure out how Sun Wukong in the original story was able to tolerate this.

Or.

If Sun Wukong could tolerate even this kind of thing.

He really didn't dare to get too close to Sun Wukong, lest he fall into the monkey's trap one day.

The Lion Camel King was still somewhat uneasy, and said with a worried expression, "Elder brother, Erlang Shen Yang Jian is the nephew of the Great Celestial Venerable. If Seventh Brother offends the Great Celestial Venerable because of this..."

They will not join the Heavenly Court system.

They will never know the power of the Heavenly Court, nor the terror of the Jade Emperor.

The Lion Camel King was not afraid of Yang Jian, but he was afraid of the Great Celestial Venerable.

Upon hearing this, Niu Jun smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Seventh Brother isn't without support. If we're really talking about background, Erlang Shen probably can't compare to Seventh Brother."

"Furthermore, if things truly become impossible, I will not stand idly by."

Standing behind Erlang Shen were none other than the Jade Emperor and the people of Yuxu Palace.

But behind Sun Wukong stood not only Laozi, but also many other forces such as Buddhism, Taoism, Heaven, and the demon race, all of whom had designs on him.

So it's best to let this matter go if it doesn't escalate.

If things really escalate, it might actually be a good thing for Sun Wukong.

This would allow him to know just how many powerful beings were plotting against him, enabling him to take appropriate action.

Of course, he couldn't just do nothing after starting the fire.

If you really do nothing...

Leaving aside how the Jade Emperor and the Buddhist community would view it, it would also be difficult to explain to Sun Wukong.

Therefore, Niu Jun directly instructed the three Lion Camel Kings: "The three of you should secretly follow the Seventh Brother. After all, he is our own brother, and we can't just watch him suffer."

"If Erlang Shen acts alone, you don't need to intervene; let Seventh Brother settle this matter himself. But if other immortals or gods get involved, you must stop them."

"Understand?"

Upon hearing this, the three Lion Camel King demons understood and immediately said in unison, "Eldest brother, don't worry, we will definitely not let our seventh brother suffer. Anyone who tries to bully the younger brother will have to ask us brothers for permission first."

Say it.

The three demons then left the Heavenly Venerable's Palace together and chased after Sun Wukong.

The names of the Seven Sages of Meishan.

They had already heard about it.

Now we'll see whether the Seven Sages of Meishan are more powerful, or whether my brothers and I are more capable.
