Chapter 521 Six-eared Macaque
"As I see it, it's a wild monkey."
The Tongtian Sect Leader gave a very pertinent assessment, pointing with one hand to the pile of rubble on the ground.
Every single one of these broken stones bears the mark... truly a wild monkey.
The bodhi seed in the sleeve stirred again, as if it had sensed the energy within the chaos.
Yang Jiao looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader warily, afraid that if she wasn't careful, her monkey would be snatched away.
At this moment, Sun Wukong was holding Yang Jiao's sleeve, immersed in the joy of having emerged from the stone fetus.
The Six-Eared Macaque, whose state of mind was completely opposite to his, became deeply worried.
The birth of Wukong brought up the matter of the origin of the four chaotic monkeys. The other two, with their high cultivation, must have also sensed the existence of all four monkeys in the Three Realms. Next, there will inevitably be a battle for the origin.
The Six-Eared Macaque only wished that he and Wukong would not be a burden to his sister.
Sun Wukong happily circled around Yang Jiao, occasionally pawing at her clothes, looking at them from left to right, then at his own fur. After a moment of confusion in his big eyes, his furry face turned completely red, and he turned and ran away.
"Wukong, come back!" the Six-Eared Macaque called out.
Sun Wukong moved nimbly, leaping into the forest in a few swift movements. He stopped behind a large tree, timidly peeking out his monkey head:
"Clothes, there are no clothes."
Yang Jiao only then noticed that Wukong was still naked.
If it weren't for his incredibly thick body hair, he would have been completely exposed long ago.
The Six-Eared Macaque paused, then said to Yang Jiao, "I'll go take a look."
Then, without slowing down at all, he also leaped into the mountain.
Speaking of clothes, Yang Jiao glanced at the Tongtian Sect Leader's bare arms and coughed softly, "Didn't you bring a change of clothes when you went out?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader's face darkened almost instantly.
Let alone a saint, even a deity or Taoist priest, the clothes they wear are considered a spiritual treasure.
As the Tongtian Sect Leader, one of the Three Pure Ones, a sage, his Taoist robes were even more precious.
Not dirty, not broken.
Changing clothes? That's only for when you're just admiring something.
Does a mere Ten Thousand Immortals Formation require him to carry extra Taoist robes when he goes out?
But alas!
The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at Yang Jiao, who still had a smile on her face, and his jaw tightened.
Yang Jiao was hidden there, and the Taoist robe that could withstand a blow from a saint was blown apart by smoke from both sleeves.
During this interruption,
In the mountains and forests, the grass rustled and moved.
Two monkeys suddenly jumped out.
Standing beside the Six-Eared Macaque dressed in clothes is a Monkey King with leaves wrapped around his waist.
Dozens of green leaves were strung together by vines to form a modesty skirt, and a woven grass wreath was worn on its head, adorned with a few delicate pink flowers.
This makes Sun Wukong, the monkey, appear even more lively and adorable.
Yang Jiao's eyes sparkled.
I really watched this monkey grow up.
The Six-Eared Macaque said somewhat awkwardly:
"Materials are limited. There's nothing in Flower Fruit Mountain that can be used to make clothes, so these leaves will do for now."
When he was first born, he was even more ignorant than Sun Wukong. He didn't even know what clothes were and spent his days jumping around in the prehistoric world with his big red butt sticking out.
It was only after his intelligence grew that he saw how properly dressed all the Taoist priests were, and that's when he devised a way to steal a piece of clothing.
Yang Jiao praised:
"Liu Er is clever and skillful."
Seeing their empty hands and hearing the rushing waterfall at the cliff's edge, Yang Jiao suddenly had an idea:
“Kongkong, Liuer, you two are still missing a suitable weapon.”
The Master of Heaven's Enticement:
"Monkey, my Biyou Palace is the place with the most magical treasures in the Three Realms. If you come with me, I will bestow some upon you."
Now all the disciples of Biyou Palace are scattered throughout the Three Realms. The vast palace will only have Tongtian Jiaozhu left in the future. It would be perfect if he could take the two monkeys with him.
He could have robbed it, but since Yang Jiao was there, he started to reason with her:
"Once they enter Biyou Palace, how dare those Wuzhiqi and Yuan Hong come before me?"
This can be seen as indirectly protecting the two monkeys.
Yang Jiao seemed to be deep in thought.
Since he was a saint, the Six-Eared Macaque dared not speak.
"Kongkong doesn't want to." Sun Wukong looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader and was truly a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. He didn't even know what a saint was, so he was naturally not afraid. He only remembered that the sect leader had just pulled the monkey hair off his head. "Sister, Kongkong doesn't want to go to any palace with him."
If you go, you'll have no more monkey hair to pluck.
It doesn't look good if there's no hair on the top of your head.
Sun Wukong's wary look amused Yang Jiao, while the Six-Eared Macaque beside him was genuinely pondering the question.
The sage took them in.
Under the Way of Heaven, the sage is revered.
If he could learn skills from the Tongtian Sect Leader, even setting aside his origins, once he transcended the Heavenly Dao's prophecy and was able to cultivate, he would surely become a great help to his sister in the future.
Even though the Six-Eared Macaque lost his innate supernatural abilities of "being good at listening, discerning reason, knowing the past and future, and understanding all things" after being warned by the Daoist Ancestor Hongjun that "the law cannot be passed on to six ears," he was still extremely intelligent.
After a little thought, the pros and cons became clear.
However, he did not make a decision immediately. Firstly, the focus of the Tongtian Sect Leader was Wukong, not himself. Secondly, if he acted too excitedly, it would displease the Sage.
What the Six-Eared Macaque feared most was that if he were to leave with the Tongtian Sect Leader, would his sister think that he was currying favor with a saint?
He glanced timidly at Yang Jiao, then lowered his head again.
Yang Jiao watched the birds flying over the East China Sea from afar, as the raging waves carried seashells that remained on the beach.
The birds flapped their wings and landed, grabbing with their claws and then dropping back down from the sky.
With a snap, the seashell shattered against the hard rock, and the birds finally began to enjoy nature's bounty.
But the next second, a large, triangular snake with its tongue flicking out shot out from under the rock and swallowed the bird that was pecking at the shellfish whole.
Yang Jiao pointed at the flock of birds and said to the Six-Eared Macaque:
"Look, even in nature, it's a world of survival of the fittest. Besides, the nature of living beings is to select the best and eliminate the worst. I would be very happy if you could go to Biyou Palace to cultivate."
The six-eared macaque suddenly raised its head.
"But...but if I submit to you, I should be your subordinate."
This is also a biological characteristic.
There is a strict hierarchy in the monkey troop, and everyone obeys the monkey king.
From the moment the Six-Eared Macaque recognized Yang Jiao, in his heart, Yang Jiao was the Monkey King.
He thought that after following Yang Jiao, he was just a second-class monkey in this group.
“You’ve never been a subordinate. You’re Liu Er, capable of transformation, imitation, and precognition. You’re incredibly powerful. You should go to Biyou Palace to cultivate a higher level of Tao to better escape that prediction.”
The Six-Eared Macaque was denied his entire life. After being denied by Hongjun Patriarch for the last time, he could no longer even cultivate. When he heard himself say that he was particularly powerful for the first time, all his monkey hairs stood on end and he trembled with excitement.
"elder sister!"
