Chapter 988 Pay the bill, Buddhism

In the Flower-Fruit Mountain with its lush green waters, a group of demon kings were toasting each other in the Water Curtain Cave, while the monkey demons with low cultivation levels were hastily serving monkey wine brewed from fruits.

A certain feminine-looking man in black had just finished a sip of wine and could not help but approach Sun Wukong and said mysteriously:

"Brother Sun is truly amazing. I have practiced your magical skills for thousands of years, and I am still ashamed of myself!"

Hearing the flattery, Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Big brother Jiao, you are too kind. How dare I compare myself with you? I heard that you used to be in the North Sea. I don't know how you ended up in the East Sea?"

This man's nickname is Jiao Demon King. He did indeed used to live in the North Sea following the legendary demon master Kunpeng, but now he has found another master. The reason he got close to Sun Wukong was to complete the task assigned by his master.

"Brother Sun, please stop making fun of me. It's not easy to survive in the North Sea, so I ran to the East Sea. I didn't expect that we would get to know each other after a fight. Let's not talk about other things. Our friendship is all based on wine!"

The master-servant identities of Jiao Demon King and Xiao Zhen cannot be concealed, but only some powerful people know about it.

Xiao Zhen also explained to some of his colleagues in Heaven that the Jiao Demon King was the catastrophe he had arranged for the future Journey to the West so that he could share some of the merits and fortune.

The Buddhists have expressed their understanding of this. They are also actively looking for various powerful demon kings, both wild and domesticated, and would like to include them in the future journey to the West.

The more difficult the journey is, the greater the benefit Buddhism will receive in the end.

You see, in the end, Guanyin Bodhisattva released her mount and the fish in the pond to make up the number.

Back at the Water Curtain Cave, the Dragon Demon King deliberately found an excuse to compete with Sun Wukong.

Although Monkey King, who had just returned from studying under Subhuti, had mastered various magical powers, he lacked powerful weapons and was easily defeated by the Dragon Demon King.

Touching the wound on his shoulder, Sun Wukong gritted his teeth.

He looked at the Xuanbing Divine Spear in the hands of Jiao Demon King with some envy, and said in a sour tone:

"What a magical weapon! I'm afraid it's no less than a top-grade immortal weapon. I, Sun, really envy you."

The Dragon Demon King was also feeling emotional in his heart, as his weapon was a reward given to him after he surrendered to his master.

Although he had obtained a mid-grade immortal weapon when he was in the North Sea before, its quality was far inferior to the spear in his hand.

"Brother, you are joking. I am traveling around now because of this Mysterious Ice Divine Spear. After all, if I don't have a weapon that suits me, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage when fighting with others?"

The other demon kings also started to make a noise. The Bull Demon King, who had participated in the war against the Qin Dynasty, also sat in a prominent position and raised his wine glass and said with a smile:

"For us, independent cultivators and monsters, we can only spend time gathering materials to refine our own magic weapons. For example, the most successful weapon in Lao Niu's hand is a top-grade immortal weapon-level mace, which was also given to him by Prince Lu Ya."

After the Bull Demon King finished speaking proudly, he immediately showed his mace that exuded an ancient atmosphere.

The greedy monkey scratched his ears and cheeks. If he had not been absolutely confident that he could defeat the Bull Demon King, he would definitely find a way to ambush and rob on the road.

At this time, someone casually mentioned that there are many treasures in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and there must be many top-level magic weapons.

Sun Wukong was just a young and ignorant boy. He thought that he and the Dragon King were neighbors after all, so it shouldn't be too much to ask the other party for weapons!

The others watched Sun Wukong escape into the sea, and some demon kings laughed secretly.

There are many treasures in the Dragon Palace, but don’t you look at the strength of the dragon clan? Take the Dragon King of the East China Sea for example. Even if a demon king in the late Golden Immortal stage comes to your door, they can probably swallow you in one bite.

Only a few of the demon kings who were named by the people behind the scenes and came specifically to make friends with Sun Wukong knew that the monkey would definitely have a good harvest if he went to the Dragon Palace this time.

After Sun Wukong broke into the Dragon Palace, the old Dragon King was too lazy to waste any more time and immediately surrendered.

After much selection, the Dinghai Shenzhen that Dayu used to control floods finally became the golden cudgel in the hands of Sun Wukong.

Perhaps it was because the chips given by Western Buddhism were sufficient, the Four Dragon Kings also put together a set of chain mail, which allowed the monkey to complete his equipment.

When Sun Wukong returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain, he not only had a set of chain mail comparable to a top-grade immortal weapon, but the stick in his hand was also of the highest grade immortal weapon level.

Several of the demon kings were already jealous. They thought that they were also Golden Immortals after all, and if they brought gifts, the old Dragon King would be more generous.

Later, because he was too happy, the monkey drank too much and passed out under his own peach tree.

The Black and White Impermanence, who received the order to capture the soul, threw out the soul-locking chain, directly put Sun Wukong in it and took him to the underworld.

Not long after, the arrogant Monkey King left the Hall of Yama.

The timid King Yama straightened his face and said to the little ghost beside him: "Go tell Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva that we have completed the Buddhist mission promised to them. If the treasures promised before are not delivered, don't blame me for reporting to the Queen Mother Hou Tu!"

When Xiao Zhen was in court, he heard King Yama and the Dragon King of the East Sea reporting Sun Wukong's evil deeds at the same time.

Everyone cooperated in the acting, because the senior officials knew the whole story anyway.

For those who hold lower positions, they actually thought that a new and powerful demon king had appeared from the underworld.

Xiao Zhen was broadcasting live the entire time, allowing everyone to see the process of playing with the monkey clearly.

Taibai Jinxing, as the messenger from heaven, invited the monkey to heaven to be an official.

After becoming the Horse Keeper, the monkey let the horses go at will and taught the Tianhe navy a lesson. This was also the first time that Sun Wukong met Tianpeng.

It should be said that Marshal Tianpeng of the Tianhe River lived a pretty good life, except that he didn't practice much, which made his thirty-six transformations of the Tiangang completely wasted.

Later, Monkey King heard that Bimawen was just a minor official in charge of horses and his status in Heaven was pitifully low. In a fit of anger, he took off his official uniform and returned to his Flower-Fruit Mountain.

After returning home, Monkey King was still restless. He gathered a few demon king brothers and publicly proclaimed himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

The other demon kings also followed suit and gave themselves the nickname of the Great Sage.

Well, although this was within the Jade Emperor's calculations, the monkey was so disrespectful to the Heavenly Court. If he wasn't severely punished, what would be the dignity of the Heavenly Court in the future?

In the end, it was only after the Buddhist sect sent a message, expressing its willingness to compensate with a few more high-quality immortal artifacts, that the Heavenly Court gave up sending troops.

Afterwards, the Heavenly Court recognized Sun Wukong's identity as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and gave him a new position to be responsible for protecting the important Peach Garden in Heaven.

Many adults in the Three Realms laughed secretly. The Jade Emperor asked a restless monkey to guard the Peach Garden, which was obviously to let the monkey stop stealing so that he would have an excuse to punish him.

Sun Wukong also lived a free life with the peaches, and kept eating the peaches of high age.

Xiao Zhen didn't dare to put his spies into Pantao Garden, and he felt a little unhappy.

I'm afraid that everyone's share of the Peach Festival this year will be reduced again.

Of course, everything will be paid for by Western Buddhism, otherwise someone will definitely cause trouble.

Later, he learned about the Peach Festival from the Seven Fairies, but his name was not on the list.

Sun Wukong was so angry that he was fuming, without even thinking about the fact that he had just joined the Heavenly Palace and had not yet achieved anything.

In the end, after this monkey messed up the Peach Festival, it could no longer be held temporarily.

The monkey who had drunk too much immortal wine was still wandering around the Heavenly Palace. After a little secret guidance, his figure had already headed towards Laojun's alchemy room.

Xiao Zhen's eyes lit up and he secretly conveyed orders to several subordinates behind him.

Now, on the way to Laojun's alchemy room, the monkey will happen to pass by the location of the Immortal Alchemy Hall.

The Jade Emperor sitting in the main seat smiled slightly. He acquiesced to Xiao Zhen's idea of ​​relying on the monkey to settle the Xiandan Hall's mess.

Anyway...in the end it's Buddhism that pays the bill.
