Chapter 253 The Primordial World (10)
The fairies sensed something was wrong and prepared to leave. Just then, the Cowherd prepared to steal a fairy dress as instructed by the old ox.
Qinglian arrived just in time. A gust of wind blew by, and both the Cowherd and the old ox fainted. Qinglian told the fairies to quickly get ashore.
Then, Qinglian pointed to the unconscious Cowherd and the old ox not far away and told them about their plan. The fairies were so angry that their pretty faces turned red.
"This mortal is simply delusional. We have hidden spaces in our sleeves, not just one piece of clothing. How can we be captured by a piece of clothing and kept as his wife? Bah, what a dream!" a fairy in pink said irritably.
"Alright, I've given you all the reminders. What you do is up to you." Qinglian felt that she had already given them so many reminders, so if they still wanted to be someone's wife, she could only offer her blessings.
After Qinglian left, the fairies looked at the man and the ox on the ground, exchanging bewildered glances. The Weaver Girl clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain, as if something had suddenly flown away, yet she felt an indescribable sense of relief.
"It seems we can't come here to bathe anymore. There's no spiritual energy here. I can't understand why we came to the mortal world to bathe."
"Yes, I can't come here anymore. I should just stay in heaven. That female immortal is so powerful. I'll go back and cultivate diligently so I can be like her. That way, I can go wherever I want."
"Yes, let's go. As for this person, gouge out his eyes as punishment!" The fairies showed no mercy. Just like that, the Cowherd's eyes were gouged out in his sleep. As for the old ox, a fairy informed the demon realm.
That old ox is clearly a demon that has become a spirit; let's leave it to the Demon King to deal with!
The stars revolve, the sun and moon change, dynasties rise and fall—these are all timeless truths.
The celestial realm does indeed want to scheme against the fate of the mortal world, but due to that unknown being, they have the desire but not the courage.
However, a major event occurred on this day: on a Flower and Fruit Mountain next to the East Sea, a stone that had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon, suddenly broke out of the stone.
"Master, isn't this the scene of the Great Sage's birth?"
"That's right, send a message to the Twelve Ancestral Witches and tell them to keep an eye on the Three Pure Ones and Zixiao Palace. If Hongjun dares to lay a finger on them, just chop him up!"
"Master, is it time to deal with Hongjun?" Duobao asked excitedly.
"Yes, finally we don't have to be afraid of this or that anymore, but the Heavenly Dao seems quite excited too!" Wangyou looked at the sky, and the Heavenly Dao, who was jumping around happily, became serious the moment it felt the attention it was receiving.
Wangyou smiled and stopped looking at the Heavenly Dao.
"Isn't the master going to take that monkey away?"
“Bodhi Patriarch is more suitable. He would be a good teacher for Wukong. After he has completed his studies, he can give him some pointers. The West can’t cause any trouble right now,” Wangyou said seriously.
She didn't want to teach a lively, unruly monkey, who was even more unruly than Wei Wuxian. She was too old to handle such a challenge.
Let him go and cause trouble for Patriarch Bodhi!
However, it's still quite enjoyable to see the monkeys jumping around every day. The newborn Wukong was such an innocent and happy monkey. If it weren't for the damned Western scheming, Wukong would be even happier!
Wukong played on Flower Fruit Mountain for a long time. Even without the encouragement of the old monkey who had made the arrangements, Wukong still had the idea of seeking immortality. So he boarded the raft and embarked on the journey to find immortality, carrying the hopes of all the monkeys.
After crossing the ocean and enduring countless hardships, Wukong finally arrived at the Cave of the Crescent Moon and Three Stars, where he was accepted as a disciple by Patriarch Bodhi. Patriarch Bodhi clearly liked Wukong very much.
Regardless of which of the Three Pure Ones Patriarch Bodhi was a disciple of, he and Sun Wukong had a genuine master-disciple relationship, and Wangyou believed that he could teach Sun Wukong well.
"Master, look what I found!" Qinglian exclaimed excitedly as she returned from outside that day.
"What ingredients did you find this time? You're so excited!" Duobao was very supportive, and Wangyou was also somewhat interested.
"Look, what's this?"
"Isn't this just a cicada?" Duobao had been looking forward to it for a long time, but Qinglian took out a golden cicada instead.
"This is no ordinary cicada; it's a cicada with the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, a highly nourishing food," Qinglian said with an expression of complete ignorance.
"Qinglian, did you catch her?"
"No, I just saw some monks chasing him and grabbed him on the way," Qinglian said with a grin.
"Monks? It seems the West hasn't given up and has even founded Buddhism." Wangyou muttered to herself for a moment, then quickly put it out of her mind. Anyway, the West couldn't cause any trouble now.
"Yes, it was founded a long time ago. The founder was named Ran Deng, and his cultivation was so-so!" Qinglian mentioned.
"It seems I forgot something. How is Nezha doing?" When talking about Randeng, Wangyou remembered Nezha, whom she had overlooked.
"Master, are you referring to Nezha, the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl?"
"Correct!"
"Nezha committed a grave mistake, and in the end, he returned his bones to his father and his flesh to his mother. His soul had nowhere to rest and wandered around until it finally landed in a lotus pond. He was born from a lotus seed there, so he is quite a close relative of mine," Qinglian said unhurriedly.
"This is not bad, but why does this cicada look so familiar?" Wangyou looked at the cicada on the table and felt like she had heard of it somewhere before.
“Master, you’ve forgotten, this Golden Cicada might be the Golden Cicada from the story, and also the senior brother you met when you were a Buddhist cultivator.” Duobao felt it looked familiar as soon as he saw it, and only after flipping through his memories did he realize it.
"So that means we can't eat it?" Qinglian asked timidly.
"That's definitely not possible!"
When Wangyou mentioned her senior brother to Duobao, she suddenly remembered that exceptionally gentle bald man. "Let's heal his wounds and let him recover!"
"Understood, Master!" Upon hearing that it might be someone Wangyou knew, Qinglian stopped worrying about the food and carefully took Jinchan away to heal her injuries.
After Jin Chan recovered from his injuries, he transformed into a handsome man who was 1.8 meters tall, but instead of a monk, he was dressed as a Taoist priest.
"Thank you for saving me, young lady. I was almost captured by those monks and forced to become a Buddhist," Jin Chanzi said to Qinglian, still somewhat shaken.
"How did they manage to target you?" Qinglian asked curiously.
"Sigh, it's because I couldn't bear to see them injured that I went to help them. I didn't expect that they would see my kindness and say that I have a connection with Buddhism. They insisted on dragging me into Western Buddhism. Buddhism doesn't allow this or that. I still want to get married!" Jin Chanzi muttered to himself.
"It wasn't easy for you, a mere cicada, to cultivate yourself into an immortal!"
"Of course, it wasn't easy. I was the only one with consciousness out of 100,000 giant cicadas. After that, I cultivated in hiding. Then I heard that doing good deeds increases cultivation quickly, so I started doing good deeds...blah blah blah..."
Jin Chanzi seemed to have some mechanism activated, and Wangyou and Duobao covered their ears to block out his chatter.
“Master, I remember that my senior brother in that life wasn’t a chatterbox either!”
"Things may be similar, but people are different!" Wangyou silently blocked out her hearing and went back to her room to sleep.
"Hey, Qinglian is really something, she can listen to this with such relish." Duobao looked like she couldn't stand it anymore and went to gnaw on a bamboo.
