Chapter 171 The Great Sage
"Good archery!"

The monkey came to Zhou Sheng's side, casually twirled the stick, and then stuck the gleaming golden stick into the ground.

The stick withdrew its golden light, took root on the ground, grew branches and leaves, and in a few breaths it transformed into a vibrant ancient pine tree.

"Hehe, I don't have many friends, but you'll be one of them from now on!"

The monkey patted Zhou Sheng on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

Zhou Sheng stared at its appearance, his eyes somewhat dazed.

He is remarkably similar to the Monkey King in my mind, possessing fiery eyes, indestructibility, and a "golden cudgel"...

If Zhou Sheng hadn't been certain that this was Mount Lu and not Mount Huaguo, he would have even suspected that he had time-traveled again.

"What, do you look down on me, Old Sun?"

Seeing that Zhou Sheng remained silent for a long time, Xiao Sheng seemed a little angry, thinking that the other party looked down on his background.

Although it was born from a natural stone embryo, nurtured by the spiritual energy of the sun and moon, it resembled a monkey demon, inevitably attracting discrimination from some righteous people.

"Of course not. To be honest, I greatly admire the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong..."

A look of nostalgia appeared in Zhou Sheng's eyes. As the saying goes, every man has a Monkey King in his heart.

The Monkey King was the childhood idol of countless boys.

Although the stone monkey was inexperienced in the ways of the world, he was insightful and could sense that Zhou Sheng was not speaking falsely, but was genuinely admiring him, which made him even more excited.

"Haha, back when I was still in the stone and my magic power was weak, I heard people tell the story of the Great Sage. I was so excited that I named myself Little Sage from then on."

"It's a pity that the old man named Zhang Sanfeng only told me about the Monkey King's havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but he was imprisoned under the Five Fingers Mountain..."

Zhou Sheng was startled. Zhang Sanfeng?
The person who told the stone monkey the story of "Journey to the West" was actually Zhang Sanfeng, who played the game of immortal chess on Mount Lu.
Do you know what happened next?

Xiao Sheng looked at Zhou Sheng with an expectant gaze, and when he saw the other party nod, he was overjoyed and did somersaults with delight.

"Young brother, stay on Mount Lu today. I, Old Sun, will treat you to monkey wine. How about you tell me the rest of the story?"

It said somewhat impatiently.

Zhou Sheng laughed heartily, nodded in agreement, but then waved to the back and said, "I have two more friends, may they come along too?"

Yao Taifeng and Jinse walked out side by side under the moon. One was heroic and dashing, handsome and neat, while the other was dressed in white, pure and beautiful.

The two bowed to Xiao Sheng at the same time.

"Of course, of course, these two are both heroines who saved my life earlier. They drank to their hearts' content tonight, but..."

Xiao Sheng's voice changed, and he looked down at the monkey carcass on the ground.

"I have to bury these poor little monkeys first."

……

Lushan Mountain, which should be completely silent at night, suddenly became lively tonight.

The monkeys built a bonfire, brought their treasured monkey wine, and offered the freshest fruits to thank their saviors.

The mountain god, drawn by the aroma of the wine, came over and, risking having his beard plucked off by the stone monkey, drank a few cups of monkey wine.

His old wounds had not yet healed, and his magical powers had not yet recovered. This time, the leader of the Longhua Sect had planned meticulously, ordering people to seal his statue in advance, which prevented him from coming to help.

However, the mountain spirit that went to Xunyang City to fetch reinforcements was secretly sent by Him.

"A cup of wine for a lonely wanderer, the host offers a toast to the guest, wishing him long life..."

After a few drinks, the mountain god became slightly tipsy and began reciting poems in a very literary style, which annoyed the little saint.

This monkey wine is a rare delicacy from the mountains. It is a fine brew formed by monkeys selecting various rare and exotic fruits and placing them in their caves to ferment naturally. It has a smooth and mellow taste with a hint of fruity sweetness, but after drinking it, it leaves one feeling intoxicated and has a strong aftereffect.

This wine not only does not harm the throat, but can also enhance one's cultivation and prolong life.

It was only because Xiao Sheng was grateful for being saved that he almost emptied all the monkey wine he had treasured over the years; otherwise, it would have been a complete fantasy to drink to one's heart's content.

Therefore, even Yaotai Feng and Jinse drank a few more cups, and soon their beautiful faces were slightly flushed, their eyes were hazy, and they seemed to be drunk but not so drunk.

The aroma of the wine was so strong that it made people feel dizzy and intoxicated, and even birds and beasts ten miles away would stagger upon smelling it.

Zhou Sheng drank the most. He was strong and powerful, and his magic power was high. After drinking cup after cup of monkey wine, it was quickly refined by the magic power in his dantian, and he felt warm from head to toe.

Drops of spiritual liquid fell into the golden lake in the dantian, like a gentle spring rain nourishing all things.

His cultivation level improved once again, and his body shimmered with light with every breath, like crystal.

"The Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, was imprisoned under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years, until a monk named Tang Sanzang arrived..."

Under Xiao Sheng's persistent pleading, Zhou Sheng drank monkey wine while telling the story of "Journey to the West".

He was an excellent speaker, with a rhythmic and engaging delivery like a storyteller. Even though Yao Taifeng had already read the story, she listened with great interest and occasionally chimed in to support Zhou Sheng.

Jinse sat quietly to the side, sipping her monkey wine, her glassy eyes fixed on Zhou Sheng.

When he got excited and got drunk, Zhou Sheng even borrowed her guqin and played "Yun Gong Xun Yin" while singing.

Although his piano playing technique was not yet proficient, with the guidance of a master teacher, he was at least in tune. In addition, the unique charm of the piece made even Xiao Sheng very excited, as if his blood was flowing, and he was waving his stick and doing somersaults.

Jinse listened to the piece in a daze, gazing at the handsome man playing the zither under the moon, singing loudly like a madman from the Wei and Jin dynasties. For the first time, a clear emotional fluctuation appeared in her eyes.

Did he write this piece?

It sounds so nice...

Under the moonlight, no one noticed that the wounds on Jinse's fingers were healing at a visible speed and would soon disappear completely.

Her ten slender, jade-like fingers were long and fair, with well-proportioned joints, and shimmered with a faint luster under the moonlight, as if they were carved from jade.

Jinse was almost completely absorbed in the piece, and when the music ended, a strange light flashed in her clear, cool eyes.

Although Boss Long's talent for playing the piano is average, he is actually a genius at composing.

As a master of the guqin, she has heard countless pieces of music in the world. If there is a piece that she has never heard before, it must be a newly created piece.

"Thus, the Great Sage went through eighty-one tribulations to help Tang Sanzang obtain the true scriptures, and was finally bestowed the title of... Fighting... Holy Buddha..."

By the end, even Zhou Sheng was a little drunk, and his speech became slurred.

The mountain god, whose old wounds had not yet healed, could not stay long and had already returned to the statue to recuperate.

Only Xiao Sheng remained radiant and full of energy.

It listened intently, but was very dissatisfied with the ending, and snorted, "What kind of Victorious Fighting Buddha is this? If you ask me, nothing beats being the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"

"This is unpleasant, unpleasant!"

"This ending is fucking unpleasant!"

"Since it won't be the Great Sage, then I will be! One day, I will storm the Underworld and wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace!"

"Smash that Lingxiao Palace!"
