Sun Wukong's expression became more and more solemn. He suddenly thought of what Jiang Liu'er said when he first met him, and his tone became depressed: "I have been under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years."

Xiao Yan stroked his chin and asked thoughtfully, "So, you have already met Tang Monk?"

"Tang Monk?" Sun Wukong was puzzled. "Who is he?"

Seeing that he was puzzled, Xiao Yan asked doubtfully: "That's not right, didn't Guanyin tell you?"

He then asked, "Who rescued you from the Five Finger Mountain?"

Sun Wukong thought of that small figure and subconsciously murmured, "Jiang Liuer..."

Xiao Yan asked a few more questions and learned that the Sun Wukong in front of him was rescued by a young monk named Jiang Liuer, there was still a seal on his wrist that had not been removed, and he had never met Guanyin Bodhisattva. His expression became confused.

Did I recognize the wrong person?

Or maybe this giant monkey with a sad face is not the Monkey King that he thought he was?

Xiao Li on the other side was not surprised when he saw his brother talking to him.

Now he has learned that his brother has retained some memories of his past life.

I guess this is one of the reasons why he is so talented.

Zhao Gang and others who had also heard of the name Sun Wukong were also surprised.

It happened that Su Luo came down from upstairs.

Seeing him appear, all the guests in the tavern greeted him.

"This is Mr. Su, the owner of the tavern." Po introduced Sun Wukong and greeted Su Luo at the same time.

He has now realized that this monkey is different from himself.

Having been in the tavern for so long, he knew where these people came from.

Xiao Yan's strength is definitely among the best in the tavern, and he can crush me with just a flick of his finger.

Even he has such an attitude towards this monkey, this guy called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven must be very important! Su Luo smiled when he noticed that Sun Wukong was looking at him.

He knew the origin of the monkey.

"The Monkey King: Hero is Back".

He glanced at the shackles on Sun Wukong's wrists and said, "It looks like you're in trouble!"

Sun Wukong naturally knew Su Luo's identity, and the attitude of everyone in the tavern made him realize that this person was extraordinary.

He is confused now.

But he was most curious about another thing...

"How do they know me?" he asked, pointing at his nose.

"Just like you know that Tathagata in the West once cut his flesh to feed an eagle." Su Luo said.

Sun Wukong seemed to be thinking about something.

"But they misunderstood," Su Luo said again, "the Monkey King they knew was not you."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice: "Yes, how can I be called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

Su Luo shook his head: "Are you discouraged by just a little setback?"

Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.

"Although you are from different worlds, your past actions and personalities are the same," Su Luo looked at him and said calmly, "But he has not lost his sharpness after spending five hundred years under the Five Finger Mountain. He still needs the Guanyin's tight hoop to restrain himself a little."

"It's you," Su Luo sighed, "others didn't say anything, but you lost confidence?"

Sun Wukong held his head in his hands, his face full of pain: "But I can't even defeat a demon king, my magic power is sealed..."

Su Luo glanced at his wrist and asked, "Does it seal your magic power?"

Seeing Sun Wukong nod painfully, Su Luo pointed at his chest and said, "You might as well ask yourself, is it the shackles or yourself that seal your power?"

Myself? Sun Wukong suddenly looked up, as if realizing something.

Five hundred years ago.

Sun Wukong's eyes showed reminiscence.

At that time, he had just returned from his studies, and he had great magical powers and looked down on everyone.

After he sought an official position in heaven but was humiliated and given the position of Bi Ma Wen, he decided to go all out and make himself king.

Even though he was named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he still did not take it seriously until he caused a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and Tathagata intervened, suppressing him for five hundred years.

Was he wrong? He had practiced for many years and had indeed become arrogant because of his strength. He even once shouted that the Jade Emperor should give up his throne to him.

But what caused all this?

When he first entered the Heavenly Palace, he was appointed as the Horse Keeper. He worked day and night to nourish the horses, making them fat and strong.

Later, I learned from other gods that he was just a stinky horse breeder.

Those people were obviously not as strong as him, so why did they hold high positions? He was summoned to heaven for the second time and was named the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. When he thought he had finally gained the attention of the Heavenly Court, he learned that he was not even qualified to attend the Peach Banquet!

From the beginning to the end, those gods in heaven never even looked at him!

In their eyes, I am just an ignorant monster from the underworld.

How could he be convinced?

Even though he had been suppressed by Tathagata for five hundred years, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

What qualifications do those gods who are so incompetent and can't even hold up a stick have to be so high up? !

Why do they feast all day long and look down on themselves?

Sun Wukong inexplicably thought of the demon king he saw yesterday.

He felt that those gods were very similar to the demon king in some aspects.

The same arrogance and self-righteousness! On the contrary, the little guy Jiang Liuer seemed like an outlier.

He is brave, kind, innocent and lively, full of curiosity about everything...

Thinking of the other party going to the demon king's lair alone, Sun Wukong became more and more angry.

Su Luo stared at him and said word by word: "Anger should be your strength, not a shackle!"

Angry? Angry! Sun Wukong recalled these two words in his mind, and a hint of red gradually appeared in his eyes.

"If you feel too tired," Su Luo said with a smile, "I can help you remove the shackles on your wrists, but..."

"No, I want to rely on myself!" Sun Wukong said suddenly.

Su Luo stared at him for two seconds, then smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, sir!" Sun Wukong thanked him solemnly.

He had to face the anger and fear in his heart and open the shackles with his own strength, instead of relying on external forces! That's right, what really trapped his strength was not the shackles on his wrist, but his heart!

"It's been five hundred years. I should let them know that I'm back!" Sun Wukong's originally bent back became straighter and straighter.

He held his head high and looked around, then suddenly disappeared.

A Bao's hands were empty and his body swayed, almost falling to the ground.

He looked at Su Luo blankly and asked with concern: "Is he okay?"

As he said this, he subconsciously looked at Guts not far away.

When this guy first came to the tavern, he came and went in a hurry and disappeared for quite a while, which almost caused a tragedy.

Su Luo shook his head, with a strong sense of expectation in his tone: "He is the Monkey King!"
