Chapter 194, Northern Juluzhou

The Jade Emperor looked at Wukong and said slowly:

“The evil spirits are now rampant in Northern Juluzhou, causing unrest in that area and making the people suffer. If you can quell the evil spirits in Northern Juluzhou, I will spare your death.”

When Wukong heard this, he suddenly felt heroic and immediately patted his chest and said:

“Your Majesty, rest assured. I, Sun, will go and put down the evil spirit and restore peace to Northern Juluzhou!”

At this time, the Taishang Laojun stepped forward, bowed his head, and said slowly:

“Your Majesty, the demonic plague in Uttarakuru has existed for a long time and is deeply rooted.

Even though Wukong has some skills, it would take him a long time to pacify the rebellion by himself.

It would be better if Your Majesty gave Wukong the authority to go to heaven freely and ask other gods for help.

If there are immortals and gods willing to help, Your Majesty can also allow it, so that the work of pacifying the demonic disaster may be twice as effective with half the effort.”

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he glanced at the immortals in the hall, and seeing that everyone had different expressions, he finally nodded slowly and said:
“What Laojun said makes sense, so I will agree. Wukong, I grant you the freedom to go to heaven for help, I hope you will not disappoint me.”

When Wukong heard this, he was overjoyed. This was not only a help in solving the problem of monsters, but also a great opportunity to get in touch with and understand the Heavenly Palace.

He looked at Taishang Laojun and grinned:
“Good old man, I like you!”

After saying this, he quickly turned around and respectfully thanked the Jade Emperor:

“Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I, Old Sun, will definitely fulfill my mission!”

After saying this, he turned around and strode away.

After leaving heaven, Wukong flew back to Fangcun Mountain with a somersault cloud.

He went straight to the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon, and after seeing Lin Yuan, he hurriedly told him everything that happened in Heaven.

When Lin Yuan heard this, he was slightly surprised.

He originally thought that the Jade Emperor would rely on the powerful force of Heaven to directly and forcefully suppress Wukong in order to demonstrate the majesty of Heaven.

However, he did not expect that the Jade Emperor actually treated Wukong as a “worker” and gave him the task of pacifying the demon plague in Uttarakuru.

You know, according to common sense, the demon plague in Uttarakuru should be quelled by the Great Emperor Zhenwu, but now Wukong is given this important task.

Could it be that the Jade Emperor did not really intend to turn against him, but had other intentions?
However, no matter what the Jade Emperor was planning, although he had set up some tests, he did not directly block Wukong’s plan to seek the true scriptures and reconcile the relationship between humans and demons.

So, Lin Yuan decided to go with the flow.

Moreover, the events of Uttarakuru may allow Wukong to have a deeper understanding of the nature of humans and demons in this world while dealing with demons and the heavenly court, which is also a good thing.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan looked at Wukong and said:

“Wukong, you must be careful when you go to Northern Juluzhou. This is both a test from the Jade Emperor and an opportunity for you to grow.

When interacting with all parties, use your heart to understand and never forget your original intention. “

Wukong nodded solemnly:

“Master, rest assured. I will remember your teachings and will not let you down!”

After Wukong left, Lin Yuan was curious about the Jade Emperor’s current attitude.

After all, before in the East China Sea, Lin Yuan thought that the Jade Emperor was going to completely oppose him and stop him from cultivating Wukong.

but now.
Although he did send heavenly soldiers and generals to Huaguo Mountain to look for Wukong, he did not actually take action.

Or.

It was Wukong who was smart. At the critical moment, he allowed the heavenly soldiers and generals to take him away, so not many things happened.

But the subsequent development.

Lin Yuan was really surprised.

Wukong went to heaven.

Instead of punishing him directly, the Jade Emperor gave him a chance.

this opportunity.

In Lin Yuan’s opinion.

It’s just like.
As well as helping to promote Lin Yuan’s plan.

And this matter seems to be related to Tai Shang.

then.

Lin Yuan directly called out the name of the Supreme.

Soon.

Tai Shang appeared before his eyes.

The Supreme smiled, as if he knew that Lin Yuan would call him, and he said:

“The True Lord seems to be confused.”

Lin Yuan said:
“With the Jade Emperor’s attitude, I guess you are behind this, right?”

The Supreme Leader shook his head:

“I didn’t do anything. The Jade Emperor has this attitude because he is just like that.

Countless years.

Although the Jade Emperor is nominally the supreme god who maintains the order of heaven and earth, in fact, he is not completely bound by those rules and regulations. He is more tolerant than everyone thinks. “

“If the stone monkey had disobeyed the Heavenly Court right away, the Jade Emperor would have captured him forcefully. Of course, if someone spoke up for him, he might have given him a lighter sentence. As long as Wukong existed, it would be more meaningful to the world.

But now, Wukong did not deliberately challenge the majesty of Heaven, but went to Heaven and expressed his value and significance to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor has even less reason to punish him severely.”

The Supreme looked at Lin Yuan:

“True Lord, you don’t need to worry too much about the Jade Emperor turning against you. I wanted to make preparations before, and I thought that the stone monkey would directly rebel against the Heavenly Court, but the result was beyond my expectation.

Although the stone monkey is rebellious by nature, under the guidance of the True Lord, he has developed a sense of responsibility, which can avoid a lot of trouble. “

Lin Yuan was silent after hearing this.

Somehow.

He thought about his beginnings.

If I had not chosen to forcibly oppress the heavenly soldiers and generals in the first place.

Instead, after rescuing his parents, he took the initiative to go to the Heavenly Palace with the heavenly soldiers and generals, hoping that the Jade Emperor would pardon his family and demonstrate his own value.

I guess it’s another situation?
in a sense.

The current Goku.

It seems like he is doing better than he did back then.

but
There is also a gap between Jade Emperors.

do not know why.

Lin Yuan still thinks of the Jade Emperor from the world of Precious Lotus Lantern.

He is not even worthy of being compared with the Jade Emperor of this world.

“It seems that the Jade Emperor is not a stumbling block.”

The Supreme Being smiled and said:

“Of course not. As long as it is meaningful to this world, the Jade Emperor will try his best to allow it to exist even if he is unhappy about it.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

“Then perhaps the method of obtaining the scriptures from Lingshan and obtaining the scriptures from the Heavenly Palace needs to be adjusted.”

“Before that, it would be a good idea to let Wukong gain some experience in Northern Juluzhou.”

he said.

There is no more Havoc in Heaven.

The Five Finger Mountain has been gone for five hundred years.

But there is a demon threat in Uttarakuru.

Uttarakuru has a vast area.

There are countless demons.

It would take Wukong one or two years to completely pacify the country, especially since Wukong was not just about slaying demons and eliminating evil.

“Oh, by the way, Wukong is about to die, so we need to take care of this matter.”

The Supreme One said:

“The Jade Emperor has already resolved this matter. After all, the Jade Emperor arranged for him to go to pacify Northern Juluzhou, and he can’t let him be taken away by the Black and White Impermanence halfway.”

Lin Yuan immediately raised his eyebrows.

As soon as Wukong arrived in Uttarakuru, the scene before him made him furious.

I saw that a place that was supposed to be a village was now filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

The house was in ruins, and undried bloodstains could be seen everywhere among the ruins.

When we stepped into the village, we found some strange human-shaped objects lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection, we found that they were villagers who had been turned into blood puppets.

These blood puppets exuded a blood-red glow, their skin was tight, as if being pulled by an invisible force, their facial features were distorted, and their empty eyes revealed endless resentment.

Just then, Wukong heard a miserable cry coming from the center of the village.

He rushed towards the sound and saw a group of demons surrounding several living people, preparing to refine them into blood puppets.

One of the demons was tall and ferocious, holding a sharp blade emitting a black aura in his hand, and was about to stab a child.

Seeing this, Wukong shouted angrily:
“Hey! You evildoers, stop being so arrogant!”

Before he finished speaking, he swung the golden hoop in his hand. A golden light flashed, and the demon that was about to commit the crime was hit instantly and turned into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, the other demons turned around and pounced towards Wukong with fierce looks on their faces.

Wukong showed no fear at all. He waved his golden cudgel and moved freely among the group of monsters.

Wherever the golden hoop rod went, the demons fell down with screams.

Some demons tried to use magic to attack Wukong, but Wukong easily dodged them and then hit them with a stick, scaring them to death.

In a short moment, all the demons were killed by Wukong.

However, looking at the horrific scene before him, Wukong’s anger did not subside.

“Has the demonic plague in Northern Julu Continent reached this point? How can such demons coexist with humans?”

He was a little confused for a moment.

He knew that demons were wreaking havoc in Uttarakuru.

But it’s a specific scene.

He didn’t witness it either.

And he had seen some monsters that harmed humans near Mount Huaguo.

The cruelest thing is to capture people for food.

But this scene in front of me.

Those demons.

It’s not just about eating people.

Or borrow someone to practice magic!
He subconsciously wanted to return to Fangcun Mountain.

Ask Master what to do.

But then I thought I couldn’t always ask my master for everything.

“Master actually gave me the answer a long time ago and told me to do what I want. Some monsters are actually kind-hearted, like the monkeys on my Flower-Fruit Mountain. They are just playful.

But it will not harm other living beings in this way.”

“But the monsters here, or demons, have lost their temperaments. They…”

“You don’t deserve to live!”

Wukong made a decision in his mind.

Suddenly, I felt murderous intent.

but.

before this.

He still has to take care of the surviving villagers.

However, the villagers were also frightened when they saw his pointed and monkey-faced appearance.

One of them immediately knelt down and shouted:
“Don’t eat me! Don’t eat me!”

Wukong felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at the villagers who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy with terrified faces.

He quickly put away his golden cudgel, put on a gentle expression, and said softly:
“Don’t be afraid, fellow villagers. I am here to save you and will not hurt you.”

As he said this, he reached out to support the kneeling villager.

But the villager huddled together, not daring to stand up, his eyes full of fear and suspicion.

The other villagers also hid aside, huddled together and trembled, not daring to approach Wukong.

Wukong felt helpless, as he knew very well that in the eyes of ordinary people, his appearance was no different from a monster, which would inevitably cause panic.

“I, Old Sun, really came here to exorcise demons and monsters. All those monsters have been killed by me, Old Sun. You are safe now.”

Wukong explained patiently, pointing at the corpses of demons lying all around.

At this time, an older man mustered up the courage to step forward, looked at Wukong, and asked:

“Are you really here to save us? But you look like this.”

Wukong scratched his head and said with a smile:

“Father, although I may look a little strange, I am kind-hearted. I heard that the demons in Northern Juluzhou were wreaking havoc, so I came here to help.”

The old man nodded slightly, seeming to believe it a little, but still had concerns:

“Thank you for your kindness. But there are too many demons in this Northern Continent. Can you do it alone?”

Wukong patted his chest and said confidently:
“Don’t worry, old man. I, Sun, have my own way. I will completely eradicate the evil spirits in Northern Juluzhou and bring peace to everyone.”

After hearing what Wukong said, the villagers were still a little worried, but their fear had faded a lot.

Seeing this, Wukong said:
“My fellow villagers, demons are rampant in Northern Juluzhou. We can no longer stay here. I know a safe place. Are you willing to leave here with me?”

After these words were spoken, the villagers looked at each other in silence.

After a long while, three or two young men nodded hesitantly, expressing their willingness to follow Wukong away.

However, a white-haired old man in the crowd stood up and said firmly:
“I won’t leave. This is where my ancestors have lived for generations. I’ll die here.”

Seeing this, some other villagers also echoed the old man’s words. They had a deep attachment to this land and were unwilling to give it up easily even though they knew it was fraught with danger.

Wukong looked at these stubborn villagers, feeling helpless and worried.

He understood that he could not just leave like that, otherwise if the demon came again, the lives of these villagers would be in danger.

After thinking for a while, Wukong realized that if he wanted to completely solve the demon plague in Uttarakuru and let the villagers truly live and work in peace, he could not act hastily, but had to proceed step by step and gradually expand his power.

Only by uniting more people can we fight against the demons.

So, Wukong said to the villagers:
“Since everyone is unwilling to leave, I won’t force them. But we have to find a way to resist those monsters together. I have some power in the heavens, so I can ask some immortal friends to help.

I plan to build a base nearby and gather more people who are willing to resist the demons. We will work together to fight against the demon plague.”

After hearing what Wukong said, the villagers saw a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Although they still had fear in their hearts, Wukong’s proposal undoubtedly gave them a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.

“We listen to you!”

The old man who had been adamant about not leaving was the first to express his opinion.

Other villagers also responded and were willing to follow Wukong’s arrangements.

Wukong nodded and said:
“Okay! Then let’s start by rebuilding the village and make it impregnable. At the same time, I will contact various forces, and if we work together, we will surely restore peace to Northern Juluzhou.”

After saying that, Wukong once again used his magical powers to help the villagers strengthen their houses and set up fortifications.

He also set up some simple early warning arrays around the village so that if any demons approached, an alarm could be sounded in time.

After arranging all this, Wukong decided to go to Heaven first to ask for support from other gods.

Before leaving, he said to the villagers:
“Don’t worry, everyone. I, Old Sun, will be back soon with my helpers. I will make sure those monsters will never dare to bully us again!”

The villagers nodded and watched Wukong leave on his somersault cloud.
