Chapter 747: Lotus Lantern + Journey to the West - Tang Monk's Flesh 7
Seeing that Sun Wukong was changing the subject, Ruyi smiled knowingly and did not expose him. She just sat beside him and accompanied him to eat the peaches and put them back in the basket. Then she took out some pills from the space and put them in Sun Wukong's hands.
"These are for you. Eat them when you have nothing to do, but don't neglect your cultivation." In the original plot, Sun Wukong's cultivation has never improved since he made a big fuss in Heaven. He even had no cultivation for five hundred years because he was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain. Ruyi guessed that this might be related to the thin spiritual energy here, which restricted Sun Wukong's movements and made it impossible for him to absorb spiritual energy to maintain his cultivation.
Sun Wukong took the jade bottle that Ruyi handed to him, his eyes showing both surprise and emotion, "Sister, I remember all the kindness you have shown me. I will thank you for your kindness. When I come out in the future, I will definitely repay you!"
"......" Hearing Sun Wukong calling her sister, Ruyi found it a little funny. You know, in this world, she was born much earlier than Sun Wukong. But then she thought about Sun Wukong's personality. He called Guanyin Bodhisattva sister, Vimala Bodhisattva old chicken, and Nezha a kid...
Compared to this, I am a really good girl.
"Great Sage, you don't have to take it to heart. You should know that I got these pills with your help. To be honest, I am the one who got the better deal."
"Hey, these are just small matters!" Sun Wukong waved his hands generously, "Let's not talk about these. I am very happy that my sister came to see me today."
"There is just one thing that I am still worried about..." Sun Wukong was a little hesitant. He knew that his request was a bit abrupt, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Ruyi was the best candidate for this matter. "My monkeys and grandchildren on the Flower-Fruit Mountain..."
"Don't worry, Great Sage." Without waiting for Sun Wukong to finish speaking, Ruyi nodded and agreed. Not to mention Sun Wukong's request, even if he didn't ask, he had lived in the Flower-Fruit Mountain for so many years and had been with those monkeys for so long, how could he really ignore them?
If Ruyi didn't really like the little monkeys on the Flower-Fruit Mountain, she wouldn't have specially transformed her residence on the Flower-Fruit Mountain into a refuge for the little monkeys when she left.
After saying goodbye to Sun Wukong, Ruyi planned to visit Huaguo Mountain. On the way, he passed by the Liusha River. At this time, the Liusha River had become the territory of the river monster discovered by the former General Juanlian. When Ruyi passed by, he took a casual glance and saw a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the Liusha River, sucking in all the pedestrians on the shore like a black hole.
"stop!"
It would have been fine if he didn't see it, but after seeing it, how could Ruyi just sit there and let these pedestrians be eaten by the monster in the Quicksand River? He immediately used the golden sword technique to smash over, just interrupting the rotation of the whirlpool and spitting out those pedestrians.
"Who dares to be an enemy of me, General Juanlian!" Realizing that his meal was interrupted, the river monster quickly revealed half of his body from the quicksand river and questioned Ruyi angrily.
"Humph, what General Juanlian? Bah, he's nothing but a river monster that eats people!"
When Sha Seng heard Ruyi calling him a river monster, he, who was already unwilling to lose his position as the Curtain-Pulling General and be demoted to the mortal world, immediately became so angry that his red hair fluttered without wind and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Damn you, I'm going to eat you!"
After saying that, the man rushed over with weapons in hand. Ruyi didn't even try to dodge and was directly hit by two lightning strikes, whoosh - whoosh - which electrocuted Sha Seng into charcoal and made him faint.
He originally wanted to kill the other party directly, but after thinking about it, he felt that he should not kill him. The reason why the Jade Emperor's confidant, the General Rolling the Curtain, became Tang Monk's third disciple Sha Wujing was itself full of Taoist and Buddhist transactions and calculations. Thinking about how Sha Wujing had been playing a supporting role almost the entire time after joining the team to obtain the scriptures, Ruyi finally did not do it.
"Anyway, judging by how he behaved during the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, even if he discovered something was wrong, he would probably play dumb and pretend he knew nothing."
Even if he is killed, no one knows where Heaven will find a new 'Sha Wujing'. Compared to a new Sha Wujing whose character is unknown, Ruyi still prefers this Sha Wujing who can pretend to be stupid and not talkative.
However, there were still three hundred years before Tang Monk's journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures, so she couldn't just leave him alone in the Quicksand River to eat passers-by. Ruyi thought about it, and finally decided to use the art of witchcraft to curse him. If he ate people, he would get sores in his mouth and tongue, his intestines would be pierced, his stomach would rot, and he would be in pain all over, wishing he were dead.
What’s interesting is that Ruyi originally thought that the magic of exorcism that she learned from "Dream of Red Mansions" would be very difficult to use on a deity like Sha Seng, and it might even be ineffective. However, when she actually performed the magic, she found that it was not only not difficult, but it was even more effective than when used on ordinary mortals.
"It seems that now I have one more way to control people." Ruyi guessed that this might be related to the fact that this world attaches more importance to cause and effect. After everything was ready, Ruyi woke up Sha Seng, told him about this, and made him promise to be obedient and not eat people anymore, otherwise he would make his life a living hell.
After solving the problem of the monster in the Quicksand River, Ruyi left with satisfaction, leaving Sha Seng, who was full of indignation, returning to the Quicksand River cursing.
After Ruyi returned to Huaguo Mountain, he first vaguely revealed the news about Sun Wukong to the monkeys and their descendants in Huaguo Mountain to reassure them, and then returned to his own residence to continue his retreat.
The monkeys on the Flower-Fruit Mountain regarded Ruyi as the helper who came when Sun Wukong was away, and affectionately called her the Second King. Before Ruyi knew it, the monkeys used her title of the Second King to drive away the monsters who had invaded the territory under the command of the Bull Demon King and other six demon kings.
After learning about this, the Bull Demon King couldn't help but sneer. He had some connections in the Heavenly Palace, so he naturally knew that Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain by the Buddha. He wanted to take the opportunity to seize some resources from the Flower-Fruit Mountain, but he didn't expect that a second king would suddenly appear from nowhere.
"What second king? When did Huaguo Mountain have a new king? I want to go and see what this second king is capable of!"
So when Ruyi was concentrating on her meditation, she suddenly heard the little monkey say that the Bull Demon King was coming to attack. She was so surprised that she couldn't react!
"Isn't the Bull Demon King the sworn brother of your king? He's attacking us?" Logically speaking, the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong had not broken up at this point in time. Ruyi couldn't understand. What she didn't know was that the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong were just drinking buddies, and their sworn brotherhood was not sincere. Of course the Bull Demon King would step on Sun Wukong when he was in trouble.
