Chapter 178: The Monkey Steals the Peach
"Since he is good at breaking the Five Elements, then he will make you a 'Great Sage of the Five Elements', and his grade is equal to that of Sun Wukong. Alright, let's all go down! The Jade Emperor didn't know what the considerations were, and in the end, despite the opposition of the ministers, he casually gave Jiang Tao a great sage.
In fact, Jiang Tao knew that he, an official, was just an ornament like Sun Qukong, and he didn't even have a good fortune on weekdays.
It's just that, even so, Jiang Tao didn't understand what the Jade Emperor did.
Because the monkey is the protagonist of this Journey to the West, and there are a lot of interests involved behind him, he was named the Great Sage of Heaven to eat and drink in the sky, Jiang Tao said that it was understandable.
But Jiang Tao, a visitor from another world, doesn't seem to have any backstage, and the Jade Emperor treats him so favorably, which makes Jiang Tao a little confused.
But if you come, you will be safe, and since you have come, Jiang Tao has already prepared for the worst.
So Jiang Tao didn't think about it, and left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall with the monkey.
In the following days, Jiang Tao was in the Heavenly Court, with the help of the rich aura of the Heavenly Court and the power of the huge stars, constantly consolidating his unstable foundation.
For a period of time, Heavenly Court's unique cultivation environment had allowed Jiang Tao to recover to a certain extent from the secret injuries caused by devouring blood and food and rushing into cultivation.
Of course, this is mainly due to the Five Elements Spiritual Fire.
"Alas......" Jiang Tao sighed deeply. Although he seems to have hope of recovery, he still has no hope of recovering completely and impacting the bottleneck of practicing the gods and returning to the void.
Or was he too careless, if he hadn't accidentally fallen for the evil thoughts of the thousand-year-old water corpse demon, there would have been no such things later.
But fortunately, he is now a Qi Refining God, and the limitation of his lifespan can no longer restrain him.
As long as you live, there is always a way.
After Jiang Tao became a civil servant with an establishment in the Heavenly Court and no money, he has been working hard to cultivate.
But monkeys are different.
With the title of Monkey King, this monkey roams around every day.
The monkey is also a troublemaker, and he is a troublemaker on weekdays. Communicate with other immortals, regardless of the size of the official position, all brothers are commensurate. This practice has long upset a bunch of immortals.
So it didn't take long for Sun Wukong to be sued by Xu Jingyang.
Then in the plot, the Jade Emperor sent a decree to let Sun Wukong go to guard the Pan Taoyuan.
When Jiang Tao heard the news, although he knew that the plot was like this, he was still speechless.
Let the monkey go to see the peach tree, the Jade Emperor can figure it out.
Of course, Jiang Tao would not miss something beneficial, so he found a monkey and went to Pan Taoyuan together.
The land of Pan Tao Orchard arranged for a group of gardeners to meet the Monkey King, and then introduced the medicinal value of a group of peaches.
The monkey and Jiang Tao who listened with their eyes lit up.
However, for some reason, the monkey couldn't help but steal it. Jiang Tao looked at the surrounding land wrestlers, and it was estimated that the monkeys were more or less aware of the law.
Since then, Jiang Tao has been visiting monkeys in Taoyuan for a long time, and his motives are self-evident.
On this day, Jiang Tao went again, and suddenly saw that the Pan Taoyuan was not full of people, it was the land that guarded the circle, and a wrestler.
It seems that the monkey has already done it inside, and it is too unrighteous to be angry, and he doesn't know how to call me.
Jiang Tao thought about it, and with a twist of his brain, he turned into a small insect and flew towards Taoyuan.
If it had been before, Jiang Tao would really not have dared to do this. However, after cultivating to the point of practicing the gods and returning to the void, and after stabilizing the cultivation in this heavenly court, Jiang Tao's fake supernatural powers are difficult to discover even if he is a monk who is higher than him.
The road was unimpeded, avoiding a dry wrestler and the land, Jiang Tao almost entered the peach orchard.
But at this moment, Jiang Tao's inner alarm suddenly appeared. Frightened, he stopped abruptly.
Jiang Tao looked around vigilantly, but there was no one around except for a group of long-term workers of the Pan Tao Orchard who were not highly cultivated.
Could it be that the great power of the heavenly court can't see Jiang Tao stealing the peach.
There are so many powers in Heavenly Court, and it is not surprising that there are one or two who can find Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao closed his eyes, released his divine sense, and carefully probed around.
"I see." Jiang Tao exhaled.
It's not a great power, but Pan Taoyuan has its own formation.
Thinking about it, there are so many treasures in the peach orchard, how can Heavenly Court be defenseless.
I want to use the fire escape or water escape magic power in the Five Elements Great Escape to pass through.
But this formation is so clever that Jiang Tao's water and fire can't break in, so he has to return gloomily, and he has made up his mind that he will be with the monkey for the past few days and will not go anywhere.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang." But not long after Jiang Tao returned to his residence in Heavenly Court, he saw Sun Wukong flying from a distance.
Since the existence of the Bodhi Patriarch could not be exposed, Jiang Tao and Sun Wukong agreed that they would not mention the relationship between the two brothers in the future.
"I don't know what Brother Monkey is calling his little brother?" Hearing Sun Wukong's call, Jiang Tao realized that it was probably a peach, so he immediately got up to greet him.
"Brother Jiang, give!" The monkey said, conjuring a package in his hand.
Jiang Tao took it, and after opening it, he was overjoyed, "Brother Monkey, this is a peach!" ”
"Not bad." The monkey's smug expression was overflowing, "The Jade Emperor invited my grandson to look at the peaches, and when I was thirsty today, I picked a few to use." But I thought that Brother Jiang was also there, so I brought a few for my brother to try it. ”
"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother!" Jiang Tao hurriedly thanked him. Then he asked: "The younger brother heard that this peach is ripe for three thousand years, six thousand years, and nine thousand years, but I don't know what the little brother is doing?" ”
"Brother Xian is relieved, what my brother gives you is nine thousand years old, and Brother Xian can eat it with confidence."
Since then, this Monkey King seems to be addicted to stealing, and every three or two days, he will branch out of his land wrestlers, call Jiang Tao, and the two eat together.
In addition to eating by himself, Jiang Tao also hid a lot in the bronze mirror space.
Not only that, but even planted the eaten peach pit in the bronze mirror space, in order to be able to grow the peach fairy tree.
As for the ready-made peach trees here, Jiang Tao has no plans to transplant them.
One is that the target is too big, and if Jiang Tao makes a move, he will definitely be discovered.
In other words, Jiang Tao and the monkey stealing the peach have always been watched by the power of the heavenly court. It's just that for special reasons, they didn't come out to stop it.
Or, this monkey stealing peaches was simply connived at by the above, and Jiang Tao was just incidental.
The effectiveness of the peach is powerful.
Jiang Tao himself is the body of a dragon, and his blood is strong. With the help of the Peach Holy Fruit, his cultivation rose gradually, and within a few days, he reached the peak of the early stage of refining qi and transforming the gods, that is, the peak of the golden immortals in the Journey to the West.
It may be that Jiang Tao's cultivation is obtained by devouring blood and food, so that now that he has encountered a bottleneck, no matter how hard Jiang Tao tries, he can't break through.
On the contrary, it is a monkey, and it is easy to be a cultivator in the Taiyi realm.
The appetite of the two demons was so great, it didn't take long for the entire Pan Taoyuan to be ruined by them.
Now there is not a single decent peach on the peach tree, except for some crooked melons and cracked dates.
