Volume 53: Chapter : Water Curtain Cave in Flower-Fruit Mountain

The Dragon King is already obedient, and if a servant says any more, he will be seeking death. The soldiers that the Dragon King brings out for show are not fools.

Ji Luo didn't expect that the Dragon King of the East China Sea was so easy to talk to. It must be because of his master's reputation.

Ji Luo remained polite and courteous as he spoke softly, "I have invited His Majesty the Dragon King to come here today to ask for a favor."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea said generously, "Go ahead, my friend. I do have some respect in this part of the East China Sea."

Ji Luo said, "I want to pray for rain, for good weather and good harvests."

"This is too simple. Apart from the will of Heaven, I can do it at other times... Hmm? You are not praying for this rain, are you?"

The Dragon King of the East Sea pointed to the village below and said.

"Exactly."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea looked troubled: "My friend, this is not easy to handle..."

"Is His Majesty the Dragon King in trouble?"

"My friend, you don't know that decades ago, the unruly people here insulted and cursed me, committing crimes against heaven. If I don't punish them, where will the face of the gods in heaven be in the future? If this goes on for a long time, it will cause chaos in the Tiangang! This is no small matter. If it happened somewhere else, I would just make clouds and rain with a simple request."

After saying this, the Dragon King of the East Sea sighed, indicating that this was too difficult and he couldn't do it.

"There are so many details! I am just being too superficial!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Luo shook his head with regret.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea was surprised to see Ji Luo was so easy to talk to. How could this kid have such a good temper? He was a little unlike his master.

"It seems that I can only ask my eldest brother for advice to see if he has any way to solve this problem. After all, the villagers also have to rely on the weather for their livelihood."

Ji Luo said with emotion.

After hearing this, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was a little curious. He wondered what kind of connections this young boy had in the Heavenly Court. He couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, my dear friend, but is your elder brother a god of the Heavenly Court?"

Ji Luo smiled and said, "It's true."

"Oh? Then my dear elder brother is...? I know quite a few people in the Heavenly Court, maybe he is an old friend."

"Your Majesty, Dragon King, do you know the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Li Jing?"

The Dragon King of the East Sea was not surprised to hear Ji Luo mention Li Jing's name. After all, it was not surprising that Zhenyuan Daxian's land was familiar with Li Jing. Even if it was Li Tianwang, I, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was not completely afraid! As the Lord of the East Sea, the Dragon King of the East Sea believed that he still had the right to speak in front of the Jade Emperor. This matter concerned my dignity. Even if Li Jing came to speak in person... it would not be so easy to say!

The Dragon King of the East Sea felt slightly relieved and made up his mind.

"I have heard of it. I am considered familiar with Li Tianwang."

The Dragon King of the East Sea said, stroking his beard.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King should be familiar with him. My eldest brother is none other than Li Tianwang's son, Nezha the Third Prince. I'm planning to ask him how to handle this matter."

When the Dragon King of the East Sea heard Nezha's name, his hands trembled and he almost pulled his beard off.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea's expression changed, then he quickly adjusted his expression. He enthusiastically pulled Ji Luo's arm and said, "My friend, I think the gods should be more tolerant of mortals who make mistakes. Just give them some correct guidance."

The Dragon King of the East Sea suddenly became very generous.

"Bringing rain is my duty, and I am the most suitable person to do it. There is no need to trouble you, my dear brother! Even if you ask the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning to bring rain, they are not as skilled as I am in this East China Sea!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea was extremely enthusiastic and started to make it rain as soon as he spoke.

As expected of his job, he only made a slight move and the dark clouds began to rain heavily.

Seeing this, the villagers began to cheer continuously. They had not seen such heavy rain in a year.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King! The Rain-Borrowing Duty is truly powerful!"

Ji Luo was not stingy with his praise.

"Of course."

The Dragon King of the East Sea laughed heartily and accepted the praise, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened.

"When I get back, I must teach the villagers to remember the grace of His Majesty the Dragon King and build a temple in his honor to offer him worship for generations to come!"

When the Dragon King of the East Sea heard this, he knew that Ji Luo wanted to completely sever his ties with the village. His expression changed for a moment, but he finally accepted the favor.

“That’s what they should do.”

Ji Luo smiled and praised the magnanimity of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Dragon King of the East China Sea also smiled and communicated with Ji Luo.

During this period, Ji Luo did not forget to inquire about the affairs of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. His master asked him to come to the Flower-Fruit Mountain of Aolai Kingdom to inquire about the situation.

"Eh? Are you going to the Flower-Fruit Mountain? Once you're out to sea, head east and fly to where the wind dies down."

The Dragon King of the East Sea pointed out a clear path.

Ji Luo clasped his hands together and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Dragon King, for your guidance."

"Well, you're welcome. We're destined to be together. If you have time, you can come visit me at my Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and let me show you how to be your host."

"I'll definitely bother you when I'm free."

The rain was heavy and long-lasting, which completely solved the villagers' worries.

After the East China Sea Dragon King left, the villagers revered Ji Luo as a deity. However, Ji Luo did not ask them to be grateful to him. Instead, he instructed the village chief, "Remember, if you want peace, you must build a temple and a golden statue for the East China Sea Dragon King. Worship him with sincerity! Double the incense offerings during festivals. Don't be lazy, understand? If you are not sincere, you will bear the consequences."

Ji Luo spoke very seriously.

The village chief listened to it completely.

After Ji Luo said goodbye and left, the village chief immediately took out all the resources in the village to do what Ji Luo asked him to do, and then the village chief secretly bowed again and again in the direction where Ji Luo was leaving.

After Ji Luo felt the changes in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, he came to the surface of the sea.

Following the wind all the way east, we came to a place where the wind stopped and saw an island with a mountain on it. The mountain was majestic and carried vast power, and from a distance it also had a kind of beautiful spiritual power.

Ji Luo felt curious and went up to the island and into the mountains.

There are indeed many flowers and fruits on this mountain, and they are full of spiritual energy. Ordinary people can prolong their lives by eating them, but the benefits for monks are not that great. The taste is also good.

Ji Luo picked one and tasted it.

Found the taste to be very sweet.

After just a few bites, I heard a chirping sound.

Ji Luo looked over and saw a few monkeys peeking at him.

After Ji Luo saw them, the monkeys ran away again.

Ji Luo felt curious and chased after them, wanting to find out more about the stone monkeys. He sensed spiritual energy from these monkeys.

"My fellow monkeys, please stay. I am also a monster. I am the Radish Spirit."

Ji Luo stopped the monkeys who were about to escape.

monster?

The monkeys stopped.

P.S. I started screwing screws at work today. I'll see if I can write more on my phone during lunch break.

Volume 54: Chapter : The Monkey King

monster?

The monkeys looked at Ji Luo and saw that this monster looked like a human. It was only when Ji Luo took the initiative to show some demonic aura that the monkeys relaxed.

"Hey hey hey! It really is a monster!"

"How come you, a carrot spirit, are so good-looking!"

“It tastes delicious too!”

"We plant spirits are all like this."

Ji Luo explained with a smile, then asked, "Excuse me, fellow monkeys, have you heard anything about what's going on in Flower-Fruit Mountain recently?"

The leading monkey couldn't help but ask after hearing Ji Luo's question: "Are you talking about my king? My king makes a loud noise when he jumps out of the rock!"

"Oh? There is such a magical thing. Can you take me to see your king?"

Ji Luo asked curiously.

The monkeys were very welcoming and they felt that all the monsters that came were guests.

On the way, the monkeys picked a lot of fruits for Ji Luo and were very enthusiastic. Ji Luo had to give back some food that humans ate, which the monkeys liked very much.

All the way to the outside of the Water Curtain Cave Waterfall.

Looking at the waterfall cascading down, Ji Luo also marveled at the spiritual energy of this place.

"That's our king's residence!"

The monkeys said proudly.

Along the way, Ji Luo also learned relevant information about the stone monkey from the monkeys. Ever since the stone monkey jumped out of the stone, it has been wandering around. Not long after, it came to the Flower-Fruit Mountain and led the monkeys. Because it was quite magical and its hair was more beautiful than other monkeys, it was also called the Monkey King.

When they arrived outside the Water Curtain Cave, the monkeys did not tell Ji Luo how to get in. They looked at Ji Luo, wanting to see what abilities this monster brother had.

Ji Luo thought it was fun, so he used magic to divert the water flow on both sides, which surprised the monkeys!

"Spell!"

"Divine magic!"

"It's not some magical spell, it's some magical power of cultivation."

Ji Luo explained with a smile.

The monkeys became very excited and after entering the Water Curtain Cave, they couldn't wait to report to their king.

When Ji Luo came in, he saw many stone artifacts in the Water Curtain Cave, and a stone tablet in the middle, which read "Flower-Fruit Mountain, blessed land, Water Curtain Cave, heaven."

This is also a paradise.

It is indeed a good place. The spiritual energy there is very nourishing, and practicing here is twice as effective with half the effort.

"My lord! My lord! A radish spirit has come to our house, and he's really powerful!"

The monkeys ran to the Monkey King and chattered about what they had seen and heard on the road.

They also said that the radish spirit was very polite and gave them a lot of delicious food.

The Monkey King on the seat saw this with his eyes shining. He looked at Ji Luo in a special posture, with his hands on his chest, scratching his ears and cheeks.

"Are you the carrot spirit?"

The Monkey King has a very distinctive voice.

"I am the Radish Spirit. I have been training here all the way from Xiniu Hezhou. I saw the beautiful scenery here on the way and came to visit. I didn't expect that there is such a different world here!"

Ji Luo praised the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The Monkey King was delighted to hear this. He scratched his chin and called out to the other monkeys, saying, "Children, bring up some good wine and delicious food to treat this carrot brother!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Long live the king!"

When the little monkeys below heard that there was going to be a party, they were immediately overjoyed.

Ji Luo was not polite either. He also felt that the Monkey King was a good person and worth making friends with.

The master also said that unusual noises represent great opportunities, and it is beneficial to experience them more.

The monkeys brought out all the delicacies from the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain around the Water Curtain Cave. Although they were all wild food, the variety was indeed very rich!

Ji Luo also took out all the remaining food in the Qiankun bag.

It was the first time for the Monkey King to eat this kind of thing. After taking a few bites, he was very happy and thought it was very delicious. Then he shared it with the monkey children behind him.

"Brother Radish, let's have a drink!"

The Monkey King came to Ji Luo and asked him to drink the monkey wine.

"Come!"

Ji Luo did not shy away and drank the whole cup.
