Chapter 362 Guarding Peach Garden Sun Wukong

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Sun Wukong is about to cause havoc in Heaven. Everyone, get ready. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. We must not make any mistakes at this last minute!”

Guangchengzi missed his master and fellow apprentices very much. At this time, they were busy practicing the Journey to the West, or rather, the Twelve Immortals were a little busy. Yuanshi Tianzun was keeping a close eye on the gods of the ancient times and had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters.

At the beginning, when Sun Wukong went to the bottom of the sea to borrow treasures from the Dragon Palace, most of the treasures in the Dragon Palace had already been arranged by the Golden Dragon Patriarch. Although each one was extremely extraordinary, they were all extremely light.

After Sun Wukong used the Stone Monkey King’s stick, he felt that the stick was very light, but it was just right for him. Perhaps it was natural, every monkey liked to use the stick, even a natural stone monkey like Sun Wukong.

Finally, after repeated introductions by the Golden Dragon Chief and Dayu, Sun Wukong was not happy with this and didn’t want that, and finally he chose the Dinghai Shenzhen prepared by Dayu.

The origin of this Dinghai Shenzhen is not ordinary. At the beginning, Dayu controlled the flood, but this water was water from the sky. One drop could turn into millions of hectares. Even if several saints repaired the sky in time, no one knew how much of this water from the sky was left.

So Dayu was in a panic for a while and didn’t know what to do, because even if he could divert the flood and return it to the four seas, the flood flowing into the sea did not mean that everything would be safe.

On the contrary, the water in the four seas is groundwater, carrying abundant turbid air from the earth, while the floods on the ground are water from the sky, carrying rich pure air from the nine heavens.

There was disharmony between heaven and earth, with the clear and turbid waters rolling and surging back and forth, and there were always tsunamis, causing great suffering to the human tribes closer to the shore.

So after much deliberation, Dayu had no choice but to go to Jin’ao Island to ask for treasure, and Tongtian Sect Master gave the Dinghai Shenzhen to Dayu.

This Dinghai Shenzhen is not a treasure, but it has been with the saint all year round and is nourished by the saint’s spiritual charm. It is born with the destiny of water, and is just right for suppressing the turbulent four seas.

The Dinghai Shenzhen was indeed extraordinary. Once inserted into the sea, it indeed stopped the waves. It was also nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and nurtured by the aura of all waters, becoming a treasure.

Even the dragon clan had their eyes on the Dinghai Needle, so under the guise of protection, countless dragons coiled around the needle day and night, shed their skin and changed their armor on it, and stained the Dinghai Needle with their dragon blood.

After four levels of nurturing, the Dinghai Shenzhen has indeed transformed into an acquired treasure. Moreover, it has made great contributions to suppressing the four seas and has been blessed by the merits of heaven and earth. Although it cannot be regarded as an acquired treasure, it can be compared to a leader-level spiritual treasure.

Later, Dayu returned to the Huoyun Cave, and Tongtian Sect Master never took such things seriously, so the Dinghai Shenzhen was given to the dragon clan.

Unfortunately, now that Sun Wukong has arrived, the Dinghai Shenzhen has to be returned to Dayu, but the dragon clan also gained more luck from the human clan as a result, so it was still a gain, and they gave it back with satisfaction.

After Sun Wukong got the Dinghai Shenzhen, the Golden Dragon tribe leader gave him a set of golden chain mail armor, a phoenix-wing purple gold crown, and a pair of lotus silk cloud-walking shoes, which made Sun Wukong even happier. He patted his chest and said that he wanted to recognize them as brothers.

But the Golden Dragon Chief and Dayu were very eloquent and they made Sun Wukong happy and sent him out directly.

Afterwards, many immortals from the orthodox school came here and personally performed a drama in which the Monkey King’s life was destined to the Netherworld and he made a big fuss in the underworld and marked his name.

After that, all the immortals informed the Immortal Master Nan Ji, who then informed the Lord Haotian in the name of the Great Emperor Changsheng. The implicit meaning of his words was to let the Lord Haotian take care of the matter.

Lord Haotian had no choice but to take care of it, but there were also cunning people under his command, and Taibai Jinxing was the most cunning among them.

Taibai Jinxing saw that Haotian God didn’t know how to deal with this matter, so he tried to persuade him: “This Sun Wukong is a person of the calamity. If anyone can deal with it, it must be the West, the Chan Sect, or the saints.

Why should the Heavenly Court get involved in this? The Great Emperor of Immortality and the Lord of Justice are just following the trend of the times. Why don’t we use their power to our advantage and recruit Sun Wukong to become one of the Heavenly Gods?

In this way, since we are all one family, we should not fight any more. You can make peace with your enemies. This will help Your Majesty out of this trouble, which is better than sitting on wax.”

After hearing this, Lord Haotian was also very happy. He nodded in agreement and directly rewarded Taibai Jinxing with two innate spiritual treasures as a reward for his wisdom.

Later, during the morning court session, Lord Haotian announced his action, but he never expected that the Immortal of the South Pole and Jiang Ziya seemed to have expected it. Instead of being surprised or angry, they smiled, obviously happy to see it.

Although Lord Haotian felt that something was wrong with his sister, he never joked about his words and there was no reason to change his orders every day. In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Taibai Jinxing announce the recruitment.

Taibai Jinxing didn’t know what was wrong with his plan, but the king’s order had been given, so he had no choice but to go.

Seeing that the legendary Jade Emperor actually wanted to recruit him to be a god, Sun Wukong was greatly surprised. His monkey nature was hard to change, and his heart was beating fast. He immediately followed Taibai Jinxing to the heaven.

After seeing Sun Wukong, Lord Haotian also praised him for being a natural genius and a creation of the saints.

However, in order to prevent the immortals of the orthodox sect from using the monkey head as an excuse to continue to have greater power in the Heavenly Palace, the God of Heaven did not clearly state what kind of official position he would give to Sun Wukong. He just let him live in the Qitian Palace and arranged two immortal officials to serve him.

Sun Wukong is, after all, a monkey. Although Patriarch Bodhi taught him the normalities of the world, he only knew the principles of spiritual practice. How could he understand the nine grades and eighteen categories of immortal officials and positions?

Therefore, he did not care about his official title or salary. He just made friends everywhere and went to the Twenty-Eight Constellations from time to time to call friends.

The twenty-eight constellations in heaven were naturally represented by the star gods of the demon clan. They had also been hanging out with Sun Wukong for a long time, so after seeing this monkey head, they did not show any status. They all jokingly called him friends, and they were lively and united with each other, as if they had become a faction.

Seeing that Sun Wukong was still able to enter the Heavenly Palace despite this, Lord Haotian felt even worse.

After all, the demon cult is also a major concern for the Lord Haotian. One must know that the descendants of the previous Emperor and Empress are not all dead, and there are still twelve princesses and a prince left. If Nuwa has some ideas, the position of the Lord Haotian will be in real danger.

Therefore, Lord Haotian did not like anyone getting too close to the evil cult, so after careful consideration, he held another morning court session, but did not make it clear.

Some flatterers knew what Lord Haotian was thinking, so they said, “Your Majesty, that monkey has been wandering around all day, making friends with all the stars, regardless of their status. I’m afraid he’ll cause trouble in the future. It’s better to give him something to deal with than to cause more trouble.”

This was what Lord Haotian was waiting for, so he nodded and summoned Sun Wukong to the palace, asking him to take care of the Peach Garden. It was a good job, and no one else could say anything.

The most important thing is that next to the Peach Garden is the Yaochi Fairyland, where the Queen Mother of Yaochi sits in the fairyland, replacing the Queen Mother of the West in recruiting and managing the female fairies. The Peach Garden is just a stone’s throw away for her, and she can also monitor Sun Wukong and prevent the demon monkey from doing anything rebellious.

Planted in the Peach Garden are 3,600 peaches of the Renshui variety, one of the ten innate spiritual roots. There are 1,200 of each type, small, medium and large, and the fruits they bear are also different.

Logically speaking, the innate spiritual roots, like the innate spiritual treasures, have always been one plant at a time, so how could they be divided into so many plants? Even the Zhoutian Star Fruit Tree, which bears all the star fruits, also has only one tree.

The same was true for the Renshui Pantao, but unfortunately this innate spiritual root was full of disasters and calamities. It encountered a disaster before it even sprouted and almost died. Fortunately, with the help of Hongjun Daozu, it was able to save its life.

Even so, it was difficult for the Renshui Peach to maintain its unique position. It could only divide into 3,600 plants, thus occupying the title of the top ten innate fruits. However, it also slipped directly to the last place, even inferior to the Zhoutian Star Fruit Tree.

However, no matter how weak the Renshui Peach is, the ten innate spiritual roots are still the ten innate spiritual roots, and cannot be compared with ordinary top-grade innate spiritual roots.

No one could say anything about letting Sun Wukong guard the Peach Garden.

Sun Wukong also thought so. Since he had nothing to do in his spare time, he might as well take care of the Peach Garden. As the name suggests, there were many peach trees in the garden, and he could pick two more to eat when he was hungry.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t been back to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain for a long time. There is a peach tree in the back mountain that is particularly sweet. I am drooling just thinking about it. I don’t know when Master will forgive me.”

As he was thinking, Sun Wukong couldn’t help but think of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and the old peach tree.

It was just an ordinary peach tree, but Sun Wukong felt that the peaches were particularly sweet. Perhaps it was because there was someone next to it that made him feel that the peaches were sweet.

After Sun Wukong arrived at the Peach Garden, he called the land god and learned the details. He then pointed out the 3,600 peach trees one by one, and then pointed out the spiritual pavilions before returning home.

There are not too many peach trees, but not too few either. But as they are taken down one by one, Sun Wukong doesn’t have much time to go out and play, so he doesn’t go out to make friends.

However, Sun Wukong’s training was not good enough. In the first few days, he could still stick to his post day and night and carefully count the peaches on the peach tree. But after a few days, he could not bear it anymore.

The more he looked at the red peaches, the more he drooled. Finally, he thought of a way to get rid of the local strongmen in the Peach Garden and eat the peaches secretly.

At first, Sun Wukong didn’t dare to eat too much, but after waiting for a few days and seeing that no one noticed, he became more and more unrestrained. He ate this and that, picked a lot, ate and ate again, and even threw away after eating one bite or two. What a waste.

Sun Wukong picked peaches everywhere in the Peach Garden and ate them. He could hide it from others but not from the Queen Mother of the West.

The Queen Mother of the Yaochi was also very serious about these peach trees. After all, not everyone was like Guangchengzi, who had several of the top ten innate spiritual roots at every turn, and even exploded one of them extremely luxuriously.

However, when facing Sun Wukong, Queen Mother of the Yaochi was also somewhat helpless, and finally chose to turn a blind eye. It would have been ok to just fool him, but could she really kill him?
But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Even among the female fairies, the orthodox teachings have their own arrangements, or it would be strange if they didn’t have any arrangements.

When Sun Wukong was eating peaches in the Peach Garden, the Queen Mother of the West originally wanted to pretend that she didn’t see it and just pass it by.

But the Peach Festival is about to begin, and without fruits, it will not do. Fortunately, the Queen Mother of the West has already made reserves. However, one person bypasses the Queen Mother of the West and orders the Seven Fairies to pick fruits in the Peach Garden.

That person was none other than the goddess Nv Qing who was in charge of the laws of the immortals.

There are heavenly rules in heaven, and immortals have their own laws. The one who governs the heavenly rules is the God of Justice, and the one who governs the laws is the Goddess Nüqing.

The true form of the Goddess Nüqing is an imperial edict. One day, Yuanshi Tianzun was in high spirits and picked up a Taoist book and wrote down all the immortals’ imperial edicts on it.

With the nourishment of the saint’s luck and the worship of the laws of heaven and earth, this Taoist book turned into a human being. She was born in the Hunyuan realm and called herself Nvqing.

Nv Qing was born in Kunlun Mountain, so she was naturally a female fairy. Therefore, she was arranged by Yuanshi Tianzun to live in the Yaochi fairyland, obey the orders of the Queen Mother of Yaochi, and supervise the fairies in the world.
However, in the eyes of the Queen Mother of Yao Chi, it was probably Nv Qing’s job to supervise all the fairies in the world. The two goddesses usually disliked each other, and what was more, Nv Qing issued orders without her permission, which made the Queen Mother of Yao Chi even more angry.

But no matter how angry the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool was, Nv Qing had already given the order and the Seven Fairies had already gone to the Peach Garden to pick fruit.

Even if the Queen Mother of Yao Chi came to make trouble herself, Nv Qing was very sure and just said that holding the Peach Banquet was written in the Heavenly Rules and Immortal Laws, and not even the Queen Mother of Yao Chi could cancel it.

Going to the Peach Garden to pick fruit is a natural thing to do. What did she do wrong?
Nv Qing did things just like the other immortals in the Chan Sect. They couldn’t catch her mistakes at all. But that being said, who would dare to do things beyond the Queen Mother of Yaochi? I’m afraid that only Nv Qing would dare to do that.

In addition, Nv Qing also issued invitations to invite the Three Pure Ones, the Four Imperial Gods, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, and the Five Heavenly Emperors to come to the Yao Chi fairyland and attend the Yao Chi grand event.

In addition, even immortals and gods of some ranks were invited by Nv Qing. Zhen Yuanzi, the old man of the Styx, the goddess Wangshu, the sun Zhuzhao, the Taiyin Youying, the master Bai Ze, the demon master Kunpeng, etc., have all received the invitations and said that they would go in person.

With so many immortals and gods responding to the call, even the Queen Mother of the Yaochi found it extremely difficult to deal with.

Now, the Yao Chi Festival has to be held whether she wants to or not. Otherwise, if the fairies and gods think that the Queen Mother of Yao Chi is making fun of them, then her good days will be over.

At this time, divine lights from the sky were diverse, divine lights from the earth were rising into the sky, and divine lights from the sea were appearing suddenly. No matter whether they were immortals from all corners of the world or from heaven to earth, all of them went to the Heavenly Palace. This Peach Festival was even more grand and spectacular than ever before.

Even the few immortals in the nearly ruined Jiejiao were invited to come. After careful consideration, Holy Mother Wu Dang finally decided to come in person.

Not to mention the orthodox and western religions, now even the human religion has sent out the great magician Xuandu, and the demon religion has mobilized all its members. It is obvious that they have ill intentions, which makes the Lord Haotian and the Queen Mother of the West feel a little uneasy.

But the talk had already begun, and they had to continue. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Sun Wukong did not even receive a single invitation.
