Chapter 179: The King of Huaguo Mountain, the Demon King of Chaos...
The Demon King was no match for Wukong at all. Bodhisattva had waited for less than two quarters of an hour when Wukong came over dragging a huge black tiger and threw it in front of the monkeys.
Behind him, many monkeys and other animals followed him evasively. As soon as he slowed down, the animals would hide quickly like frightened birds.
Not to mention that they couldn't hide at all with Wukong's level of cultivation, even if Wukong's level of cultivation was not high, it would be difficult not to be discovered by the sounds of them climbing treetops and hiding in the grass, right?
But he had come to save people. After killing the devil and his loyal followers, he broke the chains on the animals and told them, "You are free."
In fact, the animals caught by the Demon King are all little demons that have been blessed with good fortune. Although they cannot completely get rid of their animal form, they have already begun to take on the appearance of humans.
To put it bluntly, his transformation was not complete, and he did not know any martial arts. He just absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon by instinct.
The monkeys who were rescued by Wukong first discovered those who were following them. The old monkey said something to Wukong and went over to negotiate with them.
No one knew what they said, but soon a large group of them came, including monkeys, wild boars, elks, antelopes, rabbits, and two big gray wolves. They all bowed down before Wukong and begged him to stay and be their king.
Wukong was caught off guard and looked to Bodhi for help.
Bodhisattva sighed softly and said to Wukong, "I just read your fortune and found that you have a deep connection with this Flower-Fruit Mountain."
As for the origin, Bodhisattva did not elaborate, but in this situation, it was tantamount to encouraging Wukong to take on the responsibility of Huaguo Mountain.
It's not that he wants to trick his apprentice, but he has long discovered that Wukong is too dependent on his elders because he has never left the care of his elders since he was a child.
When he was in heaven, with Fu Li around, Wukong was simply a mama's boy. He told Fu Li everything he encountered and asked Fu Li for her opinion on any problem he encountered.
The reason why Master Bodhi took him away from heaven was because he saw through this.
Who would have thought that after leaving Fuli, Wukong transferred this dependence to him and would ask him before doing anything.
How is this possible?
Although all of Wukong's elders have extraordinary cultivation, they are ultimately living beings under the rule of heaven, and no one can guarantee that they will not be deceived by heaven one day.
If that day really comes and Wukong has not learned to be independent, what will he do in the future?
Bodhisattva felt that instead of passively waiting and praying for God's mercy, it would be better to let Wukong become a man of great stature first.
And Goku himself also possesses such qualities.
He is extremely talented and his cultivation improves by leaps and bounds; he is an upright person and never bullies the weak by relying on his cultivation; he is kind-hearted and has compassion for the suffering humans and demons he sees along the way.
The most important thing is that both his justice and his mercy are not just something he thinks about in his mind, but he is willing to take action and work hard to help others.
If he didn't have to ask his master if he could do it before every action, Master Bodhi would be even more proud of him.
As expected by Master Bodhi, Wukong had already agreed to stay and protect the little demons. With his master's approval, he was immediately overjoyed. While asking the little demons to get up, he walked over and helped them up.
The little demons surrounded Wukong and went to the Water Curtain Cave occupied by the Demon King. Along the way, a clever monkey broke some cassia branches and picked some flowers, and made a beautiful wreath to present to Wukong.
Wukong loved the beautiful head ornament very much, and he put it on with great joy. He ran to Master Bodhi, shaking his head and asking proudly, "Master, does it look good?"
Bodhisattva nodded with a smile: "It looks good, it looks good."
"Hehe." After receiving the praise, Wukong was even happier. He couldn't help but join the group of naughty little monkeys and play with them while walking.
True Man Bodhi watched his disciple making a fuss, with both satisfaction and reluctance in his eyes.
Just now, he secretly contacted Fuli on his cell phone and told her about his plan. Fuli hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to let Wukong stay in Huaguo Mountain.
Although it was for the child's growth, Bodhi Zhenren started to worry even before he left, considering that the child had been under the care of his elders since he was a child.
What if a child so innocent gets deceived? What if a child so kind gets taken advantage of? What if a child whose cultivation level is only Taiyi Jinxian gets bullied by someone with a higher cultivation level?
What made him even more distressed was how was he going to tell his children about this later?
He seemed to have seen Wukong's tearful eyes. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
=====
Wukong accepted the worship of the little demons on the throne in the Water Curtain Cave. The little demons willingly worshipped him as their king, and then went out in groups of three or five. Soon they came back with various fresh fruits.
The food included peaches, bananas, persimmons, longans, lychees, grapes, apricots, plums, and nashi. The drinks included fresh coconut juice and fruit wine brewed by the old monkeys.
Although Wukong became the king, he was not arrogant. Instead, he took the little demons to eat and drink together. He also contributed his mobile phone, stuck a piece of white cloth on the flat stone wall to project a projector, and watched videos with the little demons.
These little monsters have lived in Huaguo Mountain from birth to death. How could they have seen all the bizarre actions in the video?
Yes, years after the birth of short videos, they have experienced a tremendous growth. Whether they entered the industry earlier or later, everyone is vying for traffic, ultimately gravitating towards the diverse and novel landscape that Fuli was familiar with in her previous life.
And Wukong himself particularly likes novelty, so doesn’t the platform keep pushing traffic to him?
They were quickly attracted, and with Wukong's proud and patient explanation, they soon put aside their fear of the king, and the brave ones dared to try to play with Wukong.
After watching seven or eight short videos, a special notification sounded. Wukong perked up and quickly put his phone away. He said happily, "Kids, someone wants to play games with me. Eat and drink by yourselves, don't worry about me."
Before he finished speaking, he rolled over with his nimble body and lay down on the tiger skin-covered stone seat, happily taking his pulse.
The person who invited him was Huang Tianhua, who invited him to form a team, 55pk.
Although Wukong prefers to play in a duo, Huang Tianhua is his best gaming partner, so he certainly wouldn't refuse this small request from the other party.
Playing games is the easiest way to make people forget about time. Wukong didn't know how many rounds he had played, he only knew that his opponents were defeated by them. After their five-man team set off fireworks to celebrate, Huang Tianhua disbanded the five-man team and invited him to play duo together.
"I know you don't like five-player battles. If the other party wasn't so arrogant, I wouldn't bother you. I'll play a few more rounds of duo with you as a thank you."
Wukong snorted and said proudly, "I am now the king of Huaguo Mountain. If you really want to thank me, come and play with me more often."
"Yo!" Huang Tianhua laughed, "King Wukong, congratulations. Send me a location and I'll go tomorrow. By the way, do you mind if I bring my brothers with me?"
Because he and his father Huang Feihu were the only ones in their family who had the talent for cultivation, in order for the family to be together for a long time, he accepted the canonization from the Heavenly Court.
However, they did not seize the position of the gods in heaven, but became the gods of mountains and rivers in the mortal world.
Because Huang Feihu was the head of the family, he was canonized as the Lord of Mount Tai, and his wife and sons became his auxiliary gods.
Since the powers of the Lord of Mount Tai overlap too much with those of the underworld, Fu Li does not want to conflict with the underworld now, and Huang Tianhua's family is actually quite idle.
As the eldest brother, Huang Tianhua either took his younger brothers to practice martial arts, play games, or play around with them every day.
The people who had just teamed up with him, besides Wukong, were his two younger brothers and a cousin.
His three younger brothers weren't very good at gaming. The reason for today's fight was that they had been beaten and taunted by the other brothers, so they had initiated the fight.
But after the date, the three people's enthusiasm subsided and they realized: This is bad, isn't this just asking for trouble?
So, they turned to their eldest brother Huang Tianhua for help. Huang Tianhua was so angry that he had a headache, but he couldn't abandon his brother since he was his biological brother, so he had to look for Wukong again.
It can be said that before, it was him and Wukong, the two kings, who led the three bronzes to charge into the battle.
Huang Tianhua wanted to take his younger brothers to visit Huaguo Mountain, and Wukong would of course not refuse. He also invited Huang Feihu and Mrs. Jia.
Upon learning that Huaguo Mountain had beautiful scenery and was very different from Mount Tai, Huang Tianhua agreed without hesitation.
After playing a few rounds of duo, Huang Tianhua went to beat his younger brother, while Wukong was so happy that he danced and rolled around on the throne.
Then, the joy turned into sorrow.
=====
"Master, are you really going to leave me alone in the Flower-Fruit Mountain?" Wukong looked at him with tears in his eyes. Without him saying anything to beg, Master Bodhi was already sobbing with heartache.
"Yes, Master has no other choice." Master Puti tried his best to control himself, not letting his gaze evade in the slightest. "Master suddenly sensed his destiny. I must go to the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain in the West to establish a sect and teach disciples. This is to repay the karma of borrowing Buddhist teachings."
This is serious business.
In the ancient world, nothing is more important than cultivation and cause and effect.
Even though Wukong was extremely reluctant, he still endured the sadness and sent his master down the mountain.
Bodhisattva sighed softly and pulled him aside, nagging him, "You are now the king of Flower-Fruit Mountain. You can no longer act like a child. You must learn to make your own decisions and not let your subordinates control you."
Wukong scratched his head and said, "Actually, I don't want to be a king, I just can't bear to see them being bullied."
Their begging was so pitiful that Wukong couldn't bear to see it, so he softened his heart and agreed.
How could Master Bodhi not know what kind of personality his disciple had?
He also knew that it would be useless to just give instructions himself, so he had to let go and let Wukong suffer a little, and then he would slowly figure out what to do.
So, he shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, forget it. No one has dictated what a mountain king should do. Just follow your heart. I, the master, am leaving now."
He was afraid that he would regret it too quickly, so after saying the last word, he disappeared from the spot.
Wukong was stunned for a moment before he realized that his master was really gone. He panicked subconsciously and shouted loudly: "Master, Master, Master——"
In the past, the master would respond to every word he said, but today he just let him shout again and again, and the only response he got was the echo in the valley.
After a long time, Wukong had to accept the reality and returned to the mountain in despair.
After he had been gone for a long time, Bodhisattva reappeared and said with regret, "Wukong, Wukong, everyone has his own way. Others can't help."
Then he pulled out his address book and contacted people that Wukong knew one by one, asking them to stop making decisions for Wukong.
The first person to be notified was Huang Tianhua, who was going to travel to Huaguoshan with his family the next day.
"What does this mean?" Huang Tianhua had just finished beating his brother when he received the news from Master Bodhi, which left him confused.
Huang Tianxiang, his cousin, leaned over to take a look and said, "Master Bodhi is doing this for Brother Wukong's own good. Brother, please don't mess with Master Bodhi."
"Am I that kind of person?" Huang Tianhua was furious.
Huang Tianxiang didn't say anything, just gave him a look and let him figure it out for himself.
Then, I was happy to receive my brother's loving education again.
Huang Tianxiang: “…………”
——No, I shouldn’t have said so much!
