From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 1508 Son Injures Father in Flaming Mountain

After Jiang Liu gifted the Three Aggregates to the gibbon, out of respect, he did not use his Dharma Eye to foresee her future, but simply continued his westward journey—

However, he had already seen that she was trapped by her obsession, wanting to revive his Monkey King... even though his current appearance was almost identical to the Monkey King.

But because he always had a smile on his face and upturned corners of his mouth, he seemed unfamiliar to her, so she didn't believe he was him.

Therefore.

Jiang Liu didn't try to persuade her. He believed that as long as she also took this path, she would surely gain some understanding. At that time, she would let go of her obsessions and, after he gave her some guidance, she would be able to embark on the path of cultivation.

By the way—

She was also asked to collect the remaining thoughts and actions on her behalf.

And as everyone left, another year passed, and we saw:

Thin clouds break off as the west wind blows fiercely; cranes cry from distant peaks, frost-covered forests resemble brocade. The scene is desolate, the mountains long and the rivers even longer. Wild geese fly north to the border, swallows return to the southern paths. The traveler fears loneliness on the road, his patched robe easily chills.

It was a crisp autumn day, but the weather was starting to warm up, leaving Hu Yuan, Hu Jue, and Liang Luzhen all panting heavily.

"Senior Brother, where is this place?"

Hu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore. Wiping the sweat off her body, she couldn't help but ask.

"The Flaming Mountains stretch for eight hundred miles."

The one who answered was Pingping.

Seeing the rugged mountains ahead, covered in lava and glowing with fiery light, she was incredibly excited, but she also wiped the sweat from her brow.

"Tiger Girl, you don't look like someone who lives here all year round." Seeing that she was also sweating, Pigsy asked with a smile, "Could it be that you've gotten used to living in the green forest of Mount Hao?"

"What fox would be accustomed to living in such a lava-filled place?"

Pingping was speechless. "It's only because my father and mother live here that I have no choice but to stay here as well."

After saying this, she followed the Samadhi Fire cultivation method, adjusted the flow of Qi in her body, stabilized her Qi, and her body and mind felt cool and no longer hot.

Seeing this, Hu Yuan, Hu Jue, and Liang Luzhen also sensed the external climate and stabilized their qi, so that the three gates on their spines no longer felt as if they were burning.

Because Pingping was familiar with the Flaming Mountain Road, she led the way, passing through the Ash Forest, Danzao Valley, and arriving at the Firelight Land. Along the way, they saw many dead local soldiers, former subordinates of Red Boy, and servants of Iron Fan Fairy - Sea Rakshasa and Earth Rakshasa.

"What happened here? Why are there corpses all over the place?"

Hu Yuan became increasingly alarmed as she walked.

"Could this be a battle between monsters?"

Hu Jue suggested a possibility.

Although monsters have human bodies, most of them are still beasts at heart, devoid of feelings and only seeking profit. They are just like when they were beasts, fighting each other for territory.

Upon hearing these words, Pingping became even more flustered, but she had also gained experience along the way. She silently recited the Heart Sutra to calm herself down and said to Jiang Liu, "Brother Yuanjue, if my father is in trouble, I hope you can help me."

"nature."

Jiang Liu nodded in agreement, but he was also puzzled as to how this area had become like this. Could it be that the old subordinates of the Bull Demon King and the ghost soldiers of the local earth god had broken out in internal strife?

This Rakshasa woman is different from the Iron Fan Fairy depicted in "Journey to the West." She was originally a princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom. In her early years, she cultivated herself before Buddhism. After the fall of the Rakshasa Kingdom, she became a disciple of Laozi, abandoning Buddhism for Taoism. During this time, she met Laozi's attendant…

This boy had feelings for the Rakshasa woman, and was later banished to the mortal realm, becoming the local deity of the Flaming Mountains...

Just as he was about to open his Dharma Eye to take a look, he had already arrived at the end of the fire-lit area and heard voices ahead.

The group hid behind a volcanic rock, some standing on tiptoe, others looking to the sides. They saw a woman who looked exactly like Pingping in the crater of fallen bricks in front of the fire, happily saying to the tall white ox leaning against the mountain: "Father, Father, I have brought the chosen one!"

While my brother is away, I'd better hand that thing over to him quickly.

Once this item is returned to its rightful owner, the brother will naturally give up, and the calamity of Flaming Mountain will be resolved.

The large white ox was none other than the Bull Demon King, his face haggard. Looking at the "chosen one" beside the fake Pingping—a man dressed in a black robe, a tiger-skin skirt, and wielding a Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff)—he sighed and said, "What a wicked monkey! What a wicked monkey! Why does he keep courting death... he'll never die cleanly..."

pity!

"The timing is terrible."

Immediately, the fake Pingping was surprised and hurriedly asked, "Father, what are you talking about? Are you confused? I went through a lot of trouble to find the chosen one, kill those rebellious ghost soldiers and unruly local deities, and put out the fire, all to save you, Father, so that our family can be reunited!"

"Hey~"

The Bull Demon King sighed, "I may be senile, but my eyes aren't blind yet... You are not my daughter!"

"Father, what are you talking about now?"

The fake Pingping took a step back, clutching her chest, looking slightly saddened, "I am your daughter!"

But the Bull Demon King lowered his head and sighed, "If I had known this would happen, I would have gouged out my own eyes to avoid seeing you transformed into this form and causing trouble."

In an instant.

The fake Pingping laughed, her body bursting into red light, burning away her women's clothing to reveal her naked, wiry upper body with bright red skin, short horns on her forehead, and sharp teeth in her mouth, making her look exactly like a red demon. She chuckled sinisterly and said, "How boring! How boring! I disguised myself as that little slut, but you saw right through me!"

"But I haven't slacked off in my cultivation in the South China Sea, and I consider myself no different from that little bitch. How could you have seen through me?"

"She respects me on the surface, but she's not afraid at all in her heart... But when you see me, you show a hint of fear... and you lower your head. That's not her." The Bull Demon King's voice was hoarse, but he still taught Red Boy a lesson.

"Hmph! If I had known this would happen, I would have just killed him from the start!"

Red Boy pointed his spear at the Bull Demon King, his face contorted with rage, but then looked at the "Chosen One": "Fine, I'll kill you first and get the other talents."

I heard you also obtained the Primordial Purple Qi?

Very good!

"Slay you, and I'll become a saint!"

Having said that, he drew his gun and charged at the "chosen one".

The "chosen one" wielded a stick that changed shape at will, proving he was no pushover. With a sinister grin, he swung the stick.

Good at killing:

Heaven bestows great renown, and the infant possesses formidable abilities. One wields a freely held staff, the other a fiery spear held upright. Their breaths of wind obscure the three realms, their flames of fire illuminate one region.

Previously, it would call out to its brother, but now it roared fiercely, causing the earth in the meteorite pit to tremble and the magma valley to be shrouded in darkness.

Language is uncompromising, but feelings are contradictory.

That heartless and unfilial son said, "A dog that submits to fate!"

This sudden change of heart revealed his true colors; he exclaimed, "Those who harm their father and bully their sisters deserve to die!"

The staff is imposing and long, the spear wild and unrestrained. One is the fake Great Sage with Six Ears, the other is the demon-possessed Rakshasa King. The two strive to win, all for the yellow in the Bull King's belly.

The language and customs are rustic and unconventional, and there's no room for negotiation.

After twenty rounds of fighting, neither side could gain the upper hand.

But those behind the volcanic rocks could see clearly that the "chosen one" was merely wielding the stick with one hand, toying with them, and had not used his full strength at all.

The Bull Demon King also saw it clearly, but he was also puzzled as to what kind of great Dao this "chosen one" had comprehended, that he could so easily withstand his son.

Such skill—

He has already surpassed Sun Wukong in his prime!

Chapter 1509 Two Hearts Disrupt the Great Universe

"Senior Brother, that monkey looks just like you!"

"So similar!"

Bajie and Bajing were filled with doubt and apprehension. They looked at the river and then at the "man of destiny," both filled with doubt and apprehension.

Even if they all came from Flower Fruit Mountain, they shouldn't all look exactly alike.

The monkey with its downturned lips resembled Sun Wukong more; Jiang Liu, with his upturned mouth, looked like the god of joy. One had a bitter expression, the other a joyful one, yet their figures were the same.

Jiang Liu had already seen through the truth and knew that the monkey was the Six-Eared Macaque, born from his own Monkey King. Although it was killed, it did not perish and was now being plotted against by immortals and Buddhas, and had been resurrected and returned.

[Good, this allows us to rein in the arrogance of the Monkey King ahead of time!]

"My brother calls me 'little bitch' behind my back?"

Pingping's good impression of her brother was shattered. Just as she was questioning the meaning of life, she saw the "chosen one" suddenly strike with deadly force. The stick in his hand was heavier than before, and he broke the fire-tipped spear with one blow. She hurriedly jumped out and shouted, "Wait!"

The Bull Demon King also shouted, "You grandson! Don't kill me!"

But the "chosen one" merely grinned and slammed his staff right in the middle of Red Boy's chest, breaking his skin, shattering his bones, and shaking his heart, sending him to meet the King of Hell in an instant.

In an instant!

Apart from Jiang Liu, everyone else was stunned on the spot!

The "Man of Destiny" looked at the Bull Demon King, whose face was full of disbelief, whose eyes were filled with tears, and who was wailing incessantly, and sneered: "Old Bull, no need to thank me. What use is there in keeping such an unfilial wretch?"

It will only ruin the family's reputation!

Your family suffers this misfortune because of this wicked karma.

If you can't bear to do it, I'll do it myself.

I will bear the consequences.

Why are you crying again? Aren't you going to thank me and give that thing back? Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any mercy!

The stick is merciless!

Words without meaning!

In this "chosen one," the Bull Demon King seemed to see his past—not only the past when Sun Wukong bullied his wife, killed his concubine, ransacked his entire family, and forced him to join Buddhism, but also his past self in this monkey.

That version of myself who was "unrivaled in the Three Realms, renowned throughout the Four Continents; a hero among demons, bringing joy to the world!"

Before I met Sun Wukong and became sworn brothers with him, I was just like that... full of heroic spirit... concerned with loyalty and righteousness, judging others, making decisions for others, and thinking that I was doing the right thing.

But when it's someone else's turn to make decisions for you—

Laozi forced his wife to drink the water of the Mother-Child River, which, combined with the essence of the Yaksha King, gave birth to Red Boy...

The Buddha summoned Vajra Arhats from the Buddhist order to assist Sun Wukong, forcing him to join Buddhism and cultivate some kind of enlightenment...

just now!
