Honghuang: Senior Brother of the Chan Sect, I am Guangchengzi
Chapter 363 Yuanshi Tianzun’s Memory
Chapter 363 Yuanshi Tianzun’s Memory
Hua Xu, Jing Wei and the five jade rabbits pretended to be the seven fairies and quietly entered the Peach Garden one by one, carrying fruit baskets in their hands, looking just like peach-picking fairies.
As early as when they stepped in, Sun Wukong already knew of their arrival, but he didn’t know why they came, so he hid and waited for action.
The seven girls pretended not to know, but when they saw a few green or small fruits in the Peach Garden, they couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows slightly, thinking that Sun Wukong was really a glutton, and actually ate all the peaches.
But the purpose of their arrival was to make Sun Wukong cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, so they pretended not to know and just complained about why the fruits were so small this year and that they had to go to the garden to find more.
The red-dressed fairy transformed by Hua Xu had a beautiful face. At this moment, she caught sight of the peach transformed by Sun Wukong. She suddenly smiled, and immediately walked quickly forward, gently reached out to take it, and wanted to put it into the basket.
Sun Wukong didn’t expect that the fairy could grab him with her hand, and he was picked off because he was not paying attention.
But who is he? He is the famous Monkey King, how could he be caught so easily?
He just wanted to find out why the other party came here, so he immediately transformed into his original form, holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, and pointed at the fairies and shouted, “Hey! Where did you come from, you evil women? How dare you pick my peaches? Do you really think I’m a vegetarian? How dare you save your life!”
Seeing that Sun Wukong had finally revealed his true form, the seven women were delighted and shouted, “Great Sage, calm down. We are not monsters. We have come here to pick peaches to present to the immortals at the Peach Festival.
We have come to look for the Great Sage before, but after asking a few local people, they all said that the Great Sage is always free and easy and doesn’t like to take care of things, so we wanted to go pick peaches first, fearing that we would miss the grand event. We hope that the Great Sage will forgive us!”
Seeing that these people were here to pick the fairy peaches and hold the Peach Festival, Sun Wukong immediately turned his anger into joy. While guarding the Peach Garden, he also asked the land gods who lived here all year round, and they mentioned the Peach Festival.
The Peach Festival was hosted by the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool herself, and she invited all the immortals and gods in the world to attend the festival. At the Peach Festival, everyone had peaches to eat and elixirs to take. No one knew how many people went crazy for it.
The most important thing is that those great gods who used to be elusive would also go to the Peach Festival to reveal their true forms and explain the great truth to the immortals. This is what Sun Wukong admired the most.
He has already benefited a lot from Patriarch Bodhi’s preaching. If he listens to the preachings of these great gods, wouldn’t it be possible for him to soar into the sky and get a glimpse of the unattainable supreme fruit of immortality?
So when he saw these fairies who were still a little panicked, Sun Wukong immediately reached out and helped them up one by one, fearing that these fairies were harboring dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts.
As the saying goes, there is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. After so many years in the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong also knows that some boys and girls may look inconspicuous, but in fact they are the ones that cannot be offended.
Because they often accompany those great gods, if these boys and girls hold grudges in their hearts and stir up trouble from time to time, it can really kill people.
“I hope you will forgive me, the fairy sisters. I just arrived in the Heavenly Palace and I don’t care about people. This is why I offended you. I will go to the Peach Festival to apologize to the Queen Mother later.”
Sun Wukong apologized with a smile again and again.
Who would have thought that the seven fairies looked at each other in surprise, and finally it was the fairy in yellow played by Jingwei who said cautiously: “Great Sage, we sisters are responsible for serving wine and fruit at the Peach Banquet.
Let’s not talk about other things, but we sisters know exactly how many people came, who came, and who will come, but we have never seen the name of the Great Sage on the seat…”
At this point, Jingwei glanced at Sun Wukong and said, “But it is also possible that we sisters have mistaken him. The Great Sage should also be at the event. Why don’t you go and talk to the Queen Mother?”
When Sun Wukong heard this, he was stunned, and then his face turned gloomy. He was a rookie, but he was not a fool, so he naturally understood what the fairy meant.
The Queen Mother of the Yaochi has great magical powers. She can see the six realms and hear the eight wildernesses. How could she not know about the monkey watching over the Peach Garden?
It was just that he looked down on him and didn’t want to invite him, which made Sun Wukong extremely angry.
Without waiting for the fairies to say anything, Sun Wukong directly chanted a spell and said the word “fix” several times to the girls, immediately freezing them in place. They stared at each other with big eyes, unable to move at all.
When he came to the outside world, Sun Wukong saw a great immortal at first sight, who was the famous barefoot immortal in the heaven and also Sun Wukong’s good friend.
After seeing him, Sun Wukong also stepped forward and said a few words, implicitly asking why his name was not mentioned at the Peach Festival.
The barefoot immortal was also a human pretending to be someone else. Jiang Ziya came here on purpose just to wait for Sun Wukong to come and ask him.
After hearing this, the barefoot immortal pretended to be silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, “I don’t know about this matter. Maybe the Queen Mother has her own arrangements, or maybe she sympathized with the hard work of the Great Sage guarding Taoyuan, so she didn’t invite the Great Sage to come.”
good good!
Sun Wukong got even angrier when he heard this. What’s the point of sympathizing with me for the hard work of guarding Taoyuan? If it’s hard work, why don’t you just not let me do this job?
You’ve been guarding Taoyuan for several years with great effort, but in the end you didn’t even invite me to the grand event. It’s obvious that you look down on me, Old Sun!
Sun Wukong suppressed his anger, exchanged a few polite words with the barefoot immortal, and then immediately left the place and went to the Heavenly Palace.
Since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust. Today, I, Sun Wukong, will make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace!
Because the Peach Festival was about to begin, many immortals left their caves one after another. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, even Shunfengyan and Qianlier were invited to enter the Yaochi fairyland.
Today, the Yao Chi fairyland is like the real heaven. There are not many people left outside the original heaven. Even the boys who were guarding it have sneaked out to play.
Seeing that the first place Sun Wukong entered was Taishang Laojun’s alchemy hall, many immortals and gods in the Yaochi Fairyland couldn’t help but smile and looked at the old man with white hair and beard.
This old man is naturally Taishang Laojun, an incarnation of the sage Laozi. He originally replaced the great master Xuandu and went to heaven to explain the cause and effect of human religion.
However, facing this great immortal, there are really few people in the world who dare to order him around. Even the Lord of Heaven and the Queen Mother of the West are respectful and dare not offend him in the slightest.
The Alchemy Hall has become a gathering place for immortals. In order to obtain an elixir, countless immortals are willing to give up everything.
But even such a precious golden pill was no different from an ordinary sugar pill in Sun Wukong’s mouth. He grabbed a handful of it as soon as he opened his mouth, and his mouth was full of the fragrance after eating it.
However, although the elixir is good, all medicines are almost three-quarters toxic. According to the way Sun Wukong eats it, he will probably explode and die before he finishes eating the elixir in the alchemy hall.
But with Taishang Laojun around, Sun Wukong would not die so quickly.
Taishang Laojun simply opened his mouth and blew a wisp of fairy air, which immediately flowed into Sun Wukong’s mouth and transformed into a pill seed in mid-air, using this pill seed to absorb the power of the pill.
After that, almost all the pills that Sun Wukong ate turned into nutrients to irrigate the seed, allowing the seed to slowly take root and sprout, and then slowly feed back to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong, who originally felt bloated, suddenly felt his whole body lighten, and couldn’t help laughing, thinking that he had eaten some kind of magic pill, and immediately began to eat a lot again.
After eating the last elixir, Sun Wukong was still not satisfied. He immediately jumped into the immortal food shop and ate all kinds of delicacies, including eight treasures and fine wines. Then he came down to the mortal world, staggering and burping.
Since the Heavenly Court looks down on him as the Monkey King, he might as well be a mountain king. Rather than being the tail of a phoenix, it is better to be the head of a chicken!
Seeing that Sun Wukong finally left, Lord Haotian and Queen Mother Yaochi were silent, and they really didn’t know what to do.
On the contrary, the various gods who were invited were all smiling brightly, and it was obvious that they were ready to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
Among a group of immortals, Chi Jingzi only felt pain between his eyebrows, his heart was extremely heavy, and he felt even more exhausted.
He was only planning the early events of Journey to the West. He was not fully responsible for it. He was only in charge of the affairs of the orthodox teaching. For example, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were in charge of the human teaching, while the Bai Ze military advisor and Kunpeng demon master were in charge of the demon teaching.
Even the Dragon Clan had done their job well on their own, with the cooperation of the Ancestor of the Styx and the Goddess Wangshu, the full support of the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, and even four of his own junior brothers went to the Western Church to coordinate.
Even so, Chi Jingzi felt that his whole body was shrouded by an indescribable fatigue. This fatigue was difficult to resolve. It was not because of the depletion of magic power, nor was it because he was seriously injured, but because his mind and spirit were damaged too much.
In order to finalize these things, he has squeezed out his last bit of energy, and he has been sleepless day and night, watching everything happening in the world all the time.
Endless things are tangled together like a cocoon, and all have to wait for Chi Jingzi to slowly untie them one by one.
It is not over after untying it, he has to weave it into clothes again. And it is not just one piece of clothing, but he has to weave as many pieces as he has to do. As long as the journey to the West is not over, he will not be able to relax.
“I really don’t know how the eldest senior brother managed to endure the Conferred God Tribulation. At that time, he didn’t have so many people to help him. He relied on himself to do everything.”
“Even the Netherworld is maintained by my eldest brother. I really can’t stand these things anymore. Whoever wants to be the leader of the Chan Sect in the future can do it. I can only be a free and easy immortal.”
In the endless busyness, Chi Jingzi inevitably thought of Guang Chengzi.
If Chi Jingzi’s busyness is like unraveling a mystery, although it is tedious, he does have a clue.
Then Guangchengzi was creating something out of nothing during the Conferred God Tribulation. How could he have had the ready-made silk threads to weave clothes?
You have to farm, cultivate and wash by yourself to get the conditions you have now, which is more than a hundred times more difficult than Chi Jingzi.
Chi Jingzi couldn’t even imagine how Guang Chengzi managed to hold on. If it were him, he would have collapsed long ago, and it would have been impossible for him to lead them to the final victory and directly beat Jiejiao to the brink of destruction.
People know how to cherish something only when they lose it. Originally, there was Guangchengzi in the Chan sect who maintained everything and controlled everything. No matter whether it was true or not, if they had any doubts, they could just ask Guangchengzi directly.
Everyone, including Yuanshi Tianzun, can just be a hands-off boss. They just need to concentrate on cultivation and don’t have to worry about anything else.
Originally, Chi Jingzi did not take these trivial matters seriously, thinking that they could be accomplished in a casual manner in some time. He also felt that Guang Chengzi was really lucky to be treated so well by his master.
It has to be said that Guangchengzi was so loved by Yuanshi Tianzun that no matter who he was, he would have some thoughts in his mind.
Do you think if it were me, would I be treated the same way?
But only after experiencing all this personally did Chi Jingzi feel that the favor Guang Chengzi received was well deserved.
If it were him, and his disciple helped him to bear these things, he would probably do his best to pamper the other person, for fear that the other person would suffer any grievance.
Such disciples are good disciples who can help the master share the affairs. Otherwise, if you accept a few free-spirited disciples like Chi Jingzi, wouldn’t that just be adding burden to yourself in vain?
Chi Jingzi really missed Guang Chengzi very much, missed his previous carefree days, and missed the original well-organized Chan teaching.
Not only Chi Jingzi missed Guang Chengzi, even Yuanshi Tianzun missed Guang Chengzi.
Looking at the countless cultivators on Kunlun Mountain who were close to getting on the right track, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn’t help but sigh.
“You, before you perished, you were always thinking about how to help me. But without you, what use would I have for these monks?”
The relationship between Yuanshi Tianzun and Guangchengzi is difficult for ordinary people to imagine. They have long since transformed from a master and disciple pair into a father-son relationship.
For the sake of Guangchengzi, Yuanshi Tianzun could even denounce Tongtian Jiaozhu in public, and he could ignore the malicious words of bullying the weak, and use all his strength to protect Guangchengzi in achieving enlightenment.
When ordinary people look at Guangchengzi, they are looking at the famous eldest brother of the Chan sect, the one with great supernatural powers who came from behind to succeed, the great miracle of reincarnation, and the supreme power that shocked the world.
Only Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Guangchengzi as if he was looking at the young monk who had built a hut on Mount Buzhou and was waiting for them brothers.
At that time, Guangchengzi thought that he was very tactful in his words and was very smart in taking both sides into consideration while speaking, trying not to offend anyone, and that was how he won the favor of Yuanshi Tianzun.
But only the Three Pure Ones themselves knew that they saw through Guangchengzi’s lies at a glance and it was obvious that he was waiting for them on purpose. However, they were bored at that time, so they were happy to put on a show with Guangchengzi.
Later, Yuanshi Tianzun accepted Guangchengzi because he wanted to see what surprises this little monk could bring them.
But it is unknown since when, Yuanshi Tianzun has gradually regarded Guangchengzi as his own child, and is proud of him. He even gave his own name to him, hoping that Guangchengzi would become the second Yuanshi Tianzun.
Until that day came, his hopes for the future were shattered. Watching Guangchengzi turn into nothingness, the hatred in Yuanshi Tianzun’s heart almost made him wave the Pangu Banner and create a new world.
