Chapter 3: Descending the Mountain
Time flies quickly, year after year, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Hu never went down to Wuzhi Mountain again, and practiced diligently under the guidance of Sun Wukong every day, and the peach tree bore fruit three times in the past three years, but Sun Wukong did not eat any of them.
All the peaches have entered Wang Hu's stomach, and the results are naturally remarkable, in three years, he has reached the ninth layer of qi training, and he is only one step away from successfully building a foundation and completing his first transformation.
Of course, this is like a turtle crawling in the eyes of Sun Wukong, Wang Hu is naturally helpless, he is just an ordinary tiger, if there is no Sun Wukong's guidance and the role of Peach, even to reach this realm may take a hundred years.
And Sun Wukong is a spirit monkey born and raised, and he was born in the mending stone left by Nuwa, and he was born directly across the refining and refining qi, and he was directly in the realm of the demon king at the peak of the cultivation of qi and transforming the god, and then met a famous teacher, and directly became a demon fairy after seven years of cultivation, which is naturally incomparable.
"Brother Monkey tell me the story of how you made trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then!" At the end of another day's cultivation, stars rose in the sky, and Wang Hu asked as he lay on the ground with a flattering face.
"That's all old things, what's there to talk about!" Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said, but after a while, he couldn't help but start talking about his scenery and history.
Wang Hu also found a lot of inconsistencies in these conversations.
For example, it was not Sun Wukong who attacked the heavenly court, but the entire demon army, and the leader of the army was the seven great sages of the demon clan led by the seven righteous brothers such as the Bull Demon King, of course, this great sage was sealed by themselves, and in fact it was still the realm of immortals.
At that time, although Sun Wukong was the youngest and ranked at the end of the Seven Great Sages, he was a well-deserved number one in force, and fought fiercely with the Heavenly Court army for a hundred years, three of which were recruited by Heavenly Court, and three times he rebelled against Heavenly Court, and finally led the demon army to attack the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
But he also fell into the trap this time, fell into the palm of the Buddha Kingdom of Xitian Rulai, and was suppressed in this five-finger mountain.
However, about Xitian Rulai, every time he talks about Sun Wukong, he will fall into silence, Wang Hu knows that Sun Wukong must be depressed in his heart, according to Wang Hu's side knock, Sun Wukong has actually compromised with Guanyin Bodhisattva now, and even the tight spell has been brought. Now he is actually waiting for Xuanzang's arrival.
If this is not the case, I am afraid that Wang Hu will not be able to enter here, for more than 400 years, this place has been jointly guarded by the heavenly officials of the West Heaven and the Heavenly Court, and it is because Sun Wukong agreed to go west, and at the same time brought a tight hoop, those people relaxed the guard, and by chance, Wang Hu broke in.
The night was getting darker, and the stars filled the night sky
Looking at the sleeping Wang Hu, Sun Wukong raised his head and looked at a meteor crossing the sky, with golden light flashing in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "It's been five hundred years, this time my grandson must not lose!"
Early the next morning, when Wang Hu woke up in a daze, he looked up at the sky and suddenly secretly exclaimed, the so-called plan of the day is in the morning, and it is the best time to get up in the morning to swallow the vitality of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect to talk to Sun Wukong last night It was too speculative and slept late, but this morning it was a little late.
"Brother Monkey, don't you call me!" Wang Hu complained, now he and Sun Wukong have gotten along very casually, mainly because Sun Wukong doesn't care about this, and Wang Hu as the soul of modern people, the concept of equality has long been rooted in his heart, in his eyes, the Jade Emperor and a tiger are also the same height, naturally there is no difference between high and low.
This may also be one of the reasons why Sun Wukong was able to talk to Wang Hu.
Turning his head, Wang Hu was immediately stunned, Sun Wukong was looking at himself with a serious expression at the moment, the usual monkey brothers were all hippie smiles, this was the first time Wang Hu saw such a serious Sun Wukong.
"Wang Hu, you're leaving! it's dangerous to stay here any longer!" Sun Wukong said with a solemn face.
"Dangerous? you mean Xuanzang?" Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Brother Monkey, why don't you wait for Xuanzang to come over, and I will eat him in one bite?"
"If you dare to hurt him, I will strip you of your tiger skin. Sun Wukong grinned and threatened, half serious and half joking.
Wang Hu suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and the tiger skin on his whole body couldn't help but tighten, it seems that the brother who was stripped of his skin in Journey to the West is not complaining, this monkey has been thinking about it for a long time.
"Don't you see that I already have a golden hoop? If you eat him, then I won't be able to live! This golden hoop is not as simple as a magic weapon to control. Sun Wukong looked meaningfully at the golden hoop on his head and said
Wang Hu was taken aback, but he also reacted a little, how unruly Sun Wukong was before Journey to the West, the only demon sage in the sky and on the ground, even at the beginning of Journey to the West, he was also a demon king who was happy and hateful, high-spirited, and managed all the injustices in the world. But what has become in the later stage, only promised, seeing the Buddha and worshipping is simply a dog of the Buddha, even if he finally becomes a fighting holy Buddha, I am afraid it is a relatively high-end dog.
These things are very subtle, I'm afraid that even Sun Wukong didn't notice it, or he noticed it but was powerless to resist, which may be directly related to this golden hoop.
"Brother Monkey, why do you still want to bring this golden hoop!" Thinking about this, Wang Hu suddenly asked a little anxiously.
"Hey, if I don't bring this golden hoop, I'm afraid that I will be pressed here for endless years in the future!" Sun Wukong squinted his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Hmph, it's just a golden hoop, and when my grandson comes out, there will naturally be a way to solve it." ”
Wang Hu is silent, indeed no king will be willing to fail, imprisoned here until he dies of old age, even if there is little hope, Sun Wukong still chose to fight, but if according to the development of Journey to the West, then Sun Wukong is undoubtedly a failure of the struggle.
Wang Hu sighed, he naturally couldn't understand these words with Sun Wukong.
Thinking of this, Wang Hu couldn't help clenching his fists, at this moment he had an infinite desire for power, a power that could change heaven and earth, and also the fate of Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong can be said to have a relationship with him as a teacher and friend, and after three years of getting along, a monkey and a tiger have long had an inseparable affection. And Sun Wukong has a bold personality, giving Wang Hu hope when he was most desperate, and he naturally didn't want to see the hero in his mind finally tortured by Buddhism into that cowering look.
"Brother Monkey, what can I do to help you? Don't be polite, just say that our brothers are brothers, and we will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot!" Wang Hu patted his chest and promised
"Of course there are things for you to do, but your strength is still too weak now, let's improve your strength as much as possible after going down the mountain!" Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said with a very unoptimistic look.
Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Wang Hu's face suddenly fell, he has a deep understanding of cultivation in the past three years, this is definitely not something that can be completed overnight, and he is not a demon like Brother Monkey.
Wang Hu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly approached Sun Wukong and smirked: "Brother Monkey, you see that I am so weak, what if I am eaten by monsters when I go down the mountain, or you will teach me some other skills!"
"Hey, I was still thinking about my grandson's skills!" Sun Wukong laughed, and after a little thought, he said: "Okay, your kid is very kind to Lao Sun, so I'll pass on the seventy-two changes to you! But you can't say that Lao Sun taught you, otherwise my master will really kill me if he knows!"
Wang Hu nodded in ecstasy, but immediately leaned up with a shy face and said, "Brother Monkey, why don't you teach me somersault clouds!"
"Hey, boy, don't be insatiable! somersault cloud, that's my grandson's exclusive supernatural power, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it!" Sun Wukong shook his head and said.
Wang Hu is not greedy, since Sun Wukong said so, he no longer insists on it, and he concentrates on learning seventy-two changes with Sun Wukong.
In a blink of an eye, another three months have passed, and Wang Hu has finally fully comprehended the seventy-two changes, of course, if you want to use it as you like Sun Wukong, it is still 108,000 miles away!
These seventy-two changes can be said to be supernatural powers, and they can also be said to be the exercises of cultivating the Yuan Shen, and when cultivated to the extreme, not only can they change at will, but they can even change the heavens and the earth, as long as they see things with their eyes, they can change everything.
But the only thing that made Wang Hu depressed was that if he wanted to cultivate the seventy-two transformations to Xiaocheng, he had to at least practice the Qi Transformation God Realm, and now he couldn't use it no matter what.
Three days later, on Wuzhi Mountain, a tiger and a monkey looked at each other, and it was finally time to leave.
"Wang Hu, there are three things you can do for me as much as possible, although I know that this is a little difficult for you, but my grandson has no way, if you really can't do it, you Brother Monkey I won't blame you for anything!" Sun Wukong winked at Wang Hu casually, pretending to be indifferent and said.
Wang Hu's face was extremely solemn: "Don't worry, Brother Monkey, just say that as long as I, Wang Hu, don't die, I will definitely help you!"
"Okay! worthy of my Monkey King's favorite brother!" Sun Wukong laughed.
"First of all, you have to go to Xiniu Hezhou to find my eldest brother Bull Demon King, and give these to him!" Sun Wukong opened his mouth and spit out a small fan, along with a small piece of jade. ”
Wang Hu was taken aback, this can't be a banana fan, it's a treasure of heaven and earth like a golden hoop stick!
Without waiting for Wang Hu to ask, Sun Wukong's voice sounded again: "Second, pluck off a golden monkey hair from my neck and send it to the depths of the Water Curtain Cave, where there will be a Lingzhi Demon King to guard, you can hand it over to her!"
"Third, if you finish these two things and my grandson's trip to the West has not yet begun, you can come back and cooperate with me to put on a good show and show the gods and Buddhas of the heavens. ”
A cold glint flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, but he laughed after speaking.
After a deep groan, Sun Wukong said again: "Lao Sun has nothing to give you, you can take these three life-saving monkey hairs, there are one of my grandson's tricks in them, maybe they can help you in times of crisis, okay, go down the mountain,"
Wang Hu glanced at the place where he had stayed for three years again, and bowed his head to Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, I'm leaving, don't worry, when you come out of here, I will definitely wait for you outside!"
"It's going to be difficult, be careful all the way!" Sun Wukong said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Brother Monkey, I didn't die before, but it will be difficult to die in the future!" With a rather arrogant tiger roar, Wang Hu kicked his feet, but finally left the place where he had stayed for three years.
