Journey to the West: Fangcun Mountain, God of Cooking, Monkeys Come to Apprentice

Chapter 34 The farewell dinner, the monkey is just my plaything! (seeking collection and recommendation)
Dongsheng Shenzhou, within the territory of Huaguo Mountain.

"My lord, Monkey Three is dead!"

Monkey King was studying cooking skills when he suddenly saw General Beng running towards him in a panic, with tears in his eyes.

Monkey Three is an old monkey in their monkey group, who is just 99 years old this year!

"Grandfather Monkey is dead?"

Sun Wukong's body trembled, and the sadness in his heart surged up like a tide, drowning the happiness of the day in an instant.

He vaguely remembered the benevolent look of that old man when he jumped out of the rock.

"Your Majesty, Third Master Monkey is the elder of our monkey group and is very important to our monkey group. You must think of a way!"

General Beng grabbed the corner of Sun Wukong's clothes, tearing and snot profusely.

Sun Wukong was also reluctant to part with Monkey Three, so he was silent for a moment and asked, "General Beng, how did Monkey Three die?"

"This...is old."

General Beng opened his mouth, but under those sad eyes, there was a little nervousness.

"Dead of old age? That's the end of life!"

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Pass me an order to gather all the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain to see off Grandpa Monkey tonight!"

"what?"

General Beng was subconsciously taken aback.

Send off?

Shouldn't you go to the underworld and rescue Monkey Three?

Or is it that our king doesn't know about hell at all?

General Beng gritted his teeth and forced himself to burst into tears: "Your Majesty, we are all reluctant to leave Mr. Monkey. Your Majesty has great powers. Please save Mr. Monkey!"

Sun Wukong looked up at the sky, thinking of the kindly Grandpa Monkey in his memory, he tried hard not to let his tears fall.

"General Beng, life, old age, sickness and death in this world are all fate, and the third grandfather of the monkey has passed away, which can be regarded as a consummation of merit and virtue!"

During those days when he learned how to cook with Su Yun, the monkey learned a lot of truths.

Cooking needs to master the heat, follow the law and God's will, and sometimes do things too!
Although he could go to the underworld to rescue Hou San, is that really the right thing to do?

Maybe, Monkey Three doesn't need to be a monkey in his next life.

He can be an ordinary mortal and live a happy life with wives and concubines, but if he intervenes and has to pull them back to become monkeys, wouldn't it be a waste of help?

"General Beng, Third Grandpa Monkey has been a monkey all his life, let him be an ordinary person in the next life, and we will send him off tonight!"

Sun Wukong let out a foul breath and patted General Beng on the shoulder.

"But……"

General Beng wanted to refute, but found that Monkey King had long since disappeared.

"Strange, this monkey refuses to go down to the Dragon Palace, and also refuses to enter the Underworld. What's the problem?"

He rubbed his head, took out a red candle from his pocket, and lit it.

In an instant, a wisp of green smoke escaped everyone's eyes and slowly floated up to the ninth heaven.

Faintly, General Beng heard an ethereal voice in his ear:

"I already know, I will send Yin soldiers to search for souls tonight!"

……

When the bright moon was in the sky, Monkey King sat alone on the top of the mountain, feeling the evening wind blowing on his face, and felt a little sad in his heart.

"My lord, I'm ready for the farewell party for Third Master Monkey!"

General Beng came from a distance, it was clearly just an ordinary farewell party, but his heart was beating non-stop, as if something big was about to happen.

Monkey King wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded his head: "I know, let's go now!"

The atmosphere in Shuilian Cave tonight was extremely heavy. The monkeys didn’t laugh, laugh or jump up and down. Instead, they kept silent and were very sad.

Sun Wukong walked slowly, did not speak, just drank a bowl of spirits silently.

"Wow!"

Another bowl, sprinkled on the ground, to send off the dead.

"Grandpa Monkey Third, let's go!"

The voice is as flat as water, but it reveals endless sadness and reverence for life.

The monkey group seemed to be infected as well, and they all picked up their wine bowls and drank a lot.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of wine bowls falling down one after another, the strong wine pierced the throat, and the eyes of the monkeys were red, remembering the old people.

"Little ones, although Grandpa Hou San has returned, the deceased has already passed away. The only thing we can do is to live every day from now on and let him live in our hearts forever!"

"Come on! Finish this jar of wine!"

Monkey King spoke loudly, picked up a jar of strong wine, and drank it.

"Dry this cup!"

The monkeys were impassioned and drank with their backs.

Suddenly, the smell of wine overflowed in the water curtain cave, and the monkeys were overwhelmed with alcohol and fell down one after another.

Even Sun Wukong's eyelids became heavier, seeing afterimages of the monkeys, his thoughts seemed to be stuck in a quagmire.

In a daze, all the monkeys fell down, and their eyes became pitch black.

"You are Monkey King?"

He heard a strange voice in his ear, a little cold, making his scalp numb.

"Yes, it's me, it's my grandson!"

He was so drunk that he wanted to open his eyes to see who was coming, but found that he had kept his eyes open all along, but the scene around him turned black!
"My grandson, this is, where is it?"

He let out a mouthful of alcohol, trying to use his power to relieve the discomfort in his body.

But he suddenly discovered that his mana didn't work anymore!
How is this going?

Why is my mana not working?

While he was wondering, he heard that cold voice sound again.

"Hehe, you are right, come with me!"

"where to?"

Sun Wukong asked subconsciously.

"The Underworld!"

boom!
Sun Wukong's brain shook, the smell of alcohol spontaneously dissipated by three points, and his brain became more sober.

at last.

He vaguely saw himself in the darkness, lying unconscious on the ground!

……

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

"I report to the Jade Emperor, that monkey head has great powers, if we forcefully arrest him and take him to the underworld, I'm afraid something will happen!"

Taibai Jinxing, the great think tank of the Heavenly Court, took a step forward with Yugui in his hand, really worried.

"That's right, that stone monkey can even chase a six-eared macaque and slash all over the mountain. I'm afraid ordinary Yin soldiers are no match for him!"

All the immortals nodded in agreement, fearing that there would be another disturbance.

Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor didn't panic, instead he said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, all lovers, everything is within my expectation!"

"This... please ask the Jade Emperor to clarify!"

All the immortals were at a loss.

I saw the Jade Emperor sipping a cup of tea unhurriedly, and said slowly:
"This time I sent King Qin Guang to do it himself, and I tampered with the monkey's drink in advance. Even if the monkey has monstrous abilities, it must obey obediently!"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, leisurely.

How about supernatural powers?
So what about chasing six-eared macaques all over the mountain?
Isn't it a plaything in my hands?
Could it be that the monkey can still turn the sky upside down?
Just when he was complacent, Taibai Jinxing was worried, and said in a deep voice:
"However, the mastery of the stone monkey has not yet been found out. If we act rashly this time, will we offend the person behind the stone monkey?"

"This……"

The smile on the Jade Emperor's face froze for a moment.

Hell, I almost forgot about it, that monkey is no longer an ordinary monkey!
The Jade Emperor felt uneasy.
