Volume 2 Journey to the West Chapter 45 The Monkey Steals Peaches
As soon as he returned to Huaguo Mountain, Li Xiang began to enter retreat, and it is estimated that there will be about a hundred years before Wukong returns to the lower heavenly court again, if he can work hard enough, he may be able to take the cultivation of the physical body one step further, and break through to the early stage of the quasi-saint, that is, the merit saint of this world, who should be able to barely defeat the Rulai of this world.
Li Xiang had already known before that because this world was only a derivative world, the origin was missing, and the world level was not so high, so this world was in the realm from Taiyi Golden Immortal onwards. It will be much weaker than the flood famine. Therefore, the so-called saints in this world are actually the quasi-saints of the desolate world, but if the quasi-saints of the desolate world come over, they will still be worse than the saints of the Journey to the West, who are also in the quasi-saint realm, after all, the great advantage of the saints is that they are blessed by heaven and earth.
After breaking through to the quasi-saint realm in the physical realm, although it stands to reason that he should be on par with the saints of this world, and surpass the Buddha of the peak Daluo Golden Immortal in terms of actual combat power in this world, but in fact, even if Li wants to break through, he is not much stronger than the Buddha. If you have to predict a result, then when the two fight, most of them will be the Buddha, and they can't break Li Xiang's defense, and Li Xiang may not be able to beat the Buddha.
The realm is the realm, and the combat power is the combat power, because Li Xiang used a relatively clever method to pile up the physical realm to the current level, although the strength speed and defense have been reached, but it is the baptism of the laws of heaven and earth, so it has not given birth to the physical supernatural powers. Another point is that Li Xiang does not have particularly powerful physical skills, and he has no strength, but he can't play it perfectly.
"Let's hope we can make a breakthrough this time. Although there is an agreement with Chang Geng Fairy, he still becomes stronger, he will be more secure, and there are some things that he can't stand to watch, since he is unhappy, then don't happen again. Sitting in the retreat room of Huaguo Mountain, Li Xiang muttered in his heart.

Heaven.
Although Sun Wukong was named the Monkey King, after all, it was just a false position, so since Sun Wukong took office, he had nothing to do all day long, in the heavenly court, shopping in the east and west, and had nothing to do with a group of heavenly immortals, chatting and fart. Unconsciously, Sun Wukong has made a lot of fairy friends, and he is commensurate with them as brothers, and his life is really free.
One morning in the morning, Xu Jing (jΔ«ng) Yang Zhenren in the class suddenly walked out, saluted the Jade Emperor, and then played: "Qi Yu Emperor, that Monkey King has nothing to do all day long, no matter how high or low, he makes friends with all kinds of immortals, and calls each other brothers and friends. β
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he pondered for a while, and ordered: "Come here, announce the arrival of the Great Sage of Qitian." Not long after the words fell, he received an order and went out of the Lingxiao Hall to invite Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong, who had nothing to do, did not let the people in the court wait, and soon happily entered the Lingxiao Palace, saluted the Jade Emperor, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any promotion rewards for summoning my old grandson?"
Jade emperor:(γΌ_γΌ)!!
Coughing lightly twice, relieving his emotions, the Jade Emperor continued: "I see that you have nothing to do for a day, and I am going to give you an errand to pass the time, and you will be responsible for managing the Pan Taoyuan in the future, this is a very important errand, you have to be more careful." β
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was very happy, although he wondered a little in his heart, why did the Jade Emperor let himself let a monkey manage the Pan Tao Garden, but in the end, this was a beautiful difference, so Sun Wukong gave another salute to the Jade Emperor and thanked the Jade Emperor for his appointment.
After thanking him, Sun Wukong asked casually: "Jade Emperor, is there anything else?"
The Jade Emperor replied: "I came to you specifically for this matter, there is nothing else, you go down first, and I will naturally ask someone to assist you to take over the Pan Tao Garden in a while." β
Hearing that there was indeed nothing to do with himself here, Sun Wukong did not stay long, and soon withdrew from the hall, waiting for the arrival of the person who guided him.
Of course, as the so-called monkey is anxious, monkey is anxious, Sun Wukong just waited a little and became impatient, and his mind floated quickly, and he entered the peach orchard.
"This immortal's peach orchard is really not ordinary, my grandson has just entered the gate of this peach orchard, and before he enters the garden, the sweet peach gas will come to his face, it is really greedy for my grandson. Sun Wukong couldn't help but muttered to himself while wandering around the peach orchard.
When he was wandering at the gate of Sun Wukong, about to officially enter the peach orchard, an old man suddenly came out of the ground, and Sun Wukong knew that this should be the land in this peach orchard.
Speaking of which, I don't know why, the land in the world is almost the same, the beard is white, the face is kind, and he is holding a cane in his hand, although the appearance is not tall and mighty, but it is quite a fairy wind and bones.
This land obviously knew Sun Wukong, but after he came out of the land, he immediately hurried to Sun Wukong, stopped Sun Wukong, and asked, "Great Sage, I don't know what you are doing here?"
Hearing this, Sun Wukong smiled kindly and said, "My old grandson was ordered by the Jade Emperor to take care of Pan Taoyuan from now on, and I am here today to investigate." β
After listening to Sun Wukong's explanation, he hurriedly said: "I see, the great sage, please wait a moment, I will ask the staff in the Pan Taoyuan to come and introduce you to them, if there is a need in the future, you can also directly order them." After speaking, he called the hoe tree wrestler, the water transport wrestler, the peach wrestler, and the cleaning wrestler, introduced Sun Wukong to them, and instructed him to listen to the words of the great sage in the future.
After seeing a group of gardeners, Sun Wukong followed the land across the garden gate and entered the peach orchard. Stepping into the garden, I saw this scene:
"The flowers are scorching the trees, and the branches are pressed in the trees.
The fruit presses the branches and hangs brocades, and the flowers are clustered on the trees.
When it opens, it matures for a thousand years, and there is no summer and no winter.
The ripe peaches are drunk, and the peaches that are still alive have green skins.
Look at the surroundings again, there are strange and strange flowers under the trees, and the colors are all in unison at all times. The left and right buildings and buildings, the empty space is often covered with clouds. β
Sun Wukong followed the land to watch all the way in the garden for a long time, and then remembered something, and asked the land: "Land, how many peach trees are there?"
The land replied: "There are 3,600 peach trees here, and the first 1,200 are small and fruitful, and they are ripe every 3,000 years. If ordinary people eat it and become immortals, they will be fit. There are 1,200 plants in the middle, and the flowers are sweet and fruitful, and they are ripe in 6,000 years. People eat and lift the sun and soar, and live forever. And the last 1,200 plants, the purple veined ηΌ (xΔ«ang) core, are ripe in 9,000 years, and people eat them, and they live with heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon are the same as Geng. β
Hearing that this peach is so magical, Sun Wukong was even more overjoyed, and found out the number of plants that day, and looked at the pavilion in the peach orchard, and did not return to the house until the evening.
Since then, Sun Wukong has not been idle all day long, visiting friends and playing, but coming to Pantaoyuan every once in a while.
One day, Sun Wukong came to Pan Taoyuan to play as usual, and suddenly found some branches of old trees, the peaches were already half ripe, this gluttonous insect was immediately hooked, I wanted to pick down a few to taste fresh, but the land and history of Pan Taoyuan and the immortal officials of Qi Tianfu followed him closely, in this case, I was really embarrassed to do it.
After thinking for a long time, Sun Wukong suddenly had a plan, and said to the crowd: "My old grandson is tired and wants to rest on this pavilion for a while, you go out and wait first, don't disturb me to rest." β
Hearing this, the immortals hesitated slightly, but obeyed the order and retreated. Sun Wukong saw that these people had really gone away, and he was the only one left in the peach orchard, so he quickly took off his official hat and official uniform, climbed to the tree, picked some ripe peaches, and took them in his arms.
After wiping the peach juice off his body and taking care of his appearance, Sun Wukong walked out of the garden and rushed to his mansion with the attendants of Qi Tianfu.
Delicious things are always unstoppable, since the last time he stole it, Sun Wukong has become more and more out of control, and every two or three days he will find a way to steal peaches to satisfy his appetite.
On this day, the Queen Mother began to hold the annual peach event, and instructed the seven fairies to go to the peach orchard to pick peaches to build a meeting, and the seven fairies rushed directly to the gate of the peach orchard after receiving the order, and saw the land and a group of immortal officials guarding the door.
Approaching, the eldest princess looked at the land, bowed down, and said, "I am here to pick peaches and prepare for the peach festival by the order of the queen mother." β
Hearing this, the land of Pan Tao Yuan said: "Fairy, please wait a minute, this year is different from previous years, because the Jade Emperor issued an order to personally order the Monkey King to act as the agent of Pan Tao Garden, so if you want to enter the Pan Tao Garden to pick the Pan Tao, you also need to report to the Great Sage that we dare to open the garden gate." β
When the eldest princess heard this, she asked, "Where is the Great Sage now?"
The land replied: "The Great Sage is in the garden at the moment, and he is resting in the pavilion in the garden because of his physical fatigue. β
When the eldest princess heard this, she hurriedly continued: "In this case, let's hurry up and find him, and we must not delay time, so as not to affect the queen mother's peach feast." β
The land clerk did not dare to refuse, and hurriedly accompanied the Seven Fairies into the Pan Tao Garden, and walked to the pavilion used to rest to find Sun Wukong.
The resting pavilion is already close in front of you, but in the stagnation, you only saw the clothes on the Monkey King, and did not see Sun Wukong himself, several people looked around for a long time, but did not find Sun Wukong, and when they were in a hurry, they never found Sun Wukong who had become a two-inch villain on the peach tree and was sleeping.
Seeing that he hadn't found Sun Wukong for a long time, the Seven Immortal Goddesses chattered anxiously: "A few of us came to Pan Tao Garden to pick peaches and set up a banquet, but now we can't find the great sage who manages Pan Tao Yuan, and we don't dare to go back empty-handed, what can we do?"
The immortal officials on the side comforted: "Since a few fairies are coming by order, then don't hesitate, the great sage is used to idleness, at this moment it may be out of the peach orchard to meet friends, the so-called special affairs, you go to pick peaches first, and when the great sage comes back, we will wait for you to reply." β
When the seven fairies heard this, their faces were full of sadness, and they hurriedly dispersed and picked peaches. Several fairies hurried to hurry, and the Taoist priest quickly finished picking the peaches in front and in the middle, but when they arrived at the peach tree area behind, they found that the flowers and fruits on the old trees were sparse, and there were only some fur and green skins built in the garden, and it seemed that they knew that there was still a long time to mature.
Comforted in my heart, maybe only the fruit trees in front of me are like this, the seven fairies hurriedly looked around, and finally saw a half-red and half-white peach on the south branch, the fifth princess hurriedly pressed down the branch, and the eldest princess immediately picked this peach, but as soon as the peach was picked, the light flashed, turning into a hairy face and a monkey with a thunderous mouth, the seven fairies were startled, and only after the figure in front of them was clear did they find that the monkey that suddenly appeared was the Monkey King...
