73: Chapter 73: First Encounter with Monkey, The Emperor’s Telepathic Message 73: Chapter 73: First Encounter with Monkey, The Emperor’s Telepathic Message The drinking Long Ye was suddenly interrupted by the serious voice of the East Sea Dragon King in his mind, “Long Ye, no matter what happens next, you are not to intervene, understand?”
Upon hearing this, Long Ye’s face remained unchanged, he continued to drink joyfully.
However, he had already asked in his mind: “Dragon King, has something happened?
Why do you say this?”
The Dragon King did not answer his question, but instead continued to admonish him, “You need not ask too much about this matter, just remember not to interfere.”
Having said that, the East Sea Dragon King said no more.
Although Long Ye was curious, since the East Sea Dragon King remained silent, he did not insist on asking further.
The exchange between the Dragon King and Long Ye did not cause any ripple, and the banquet continued as usual.
Everyone was drinking and enjoying themselves, appreciating the dances, and the atmosphere was harmonious for a time.
However, at the height of everyone’s excitement, a patrolling Sea Demon rushed in and reported to the East Sea Dragon King, “Your Majesty, a divine creature born from Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong, who claims to be your neighbour, is about to arrive at the palace.”
“He’s here.” Upon hearing this, the East Sea Dragon King uttered ‘he’s finally here’, quickly stood up, and went out of the palace to welcome him along with his dragon sons, dragon grandchildren, shrimp soldiers, and crab generals.
Seeing this, Long Ye was curious.
He wondered what kind of person had come to cause the East Sea Dragon King to put on such a grand welcoming gesture.
As a result, he also stood up and followed them.
It was Sun Wukong who came!
As soon as the Sea Demon came in to report, Jiang Chen already knew it was Sun Wukong.
Wasn’t the divine creature from Huaguo Mountain Sun Wukong?
Considering the timeline, Sun Wukong should have returned from learning his skills by now.
It was also precisely the right time for him to come to the Dragon Palace to borrow treasures.
The grand scheme for Sun Wukong had already been launched, and borrowing treasures from the Dragon Palace was just the beginning.
After that, he would step by step walk into the destiny arranged for him by the sage, wreak havoc in the heavenly palace, be suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, and then journey to the west for the scriptures.
Seeing everyone leaving, Jiang Chen also put on a puzzled expression and followed.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain why he knew about Sun Wukong’s arrival.
Of course, he also wanted to see what Sun Wukong actually looked like, and whether he resembled the description provided by his sixth teacher.
Upon arriving outside the Dragon Palace, he saw a small monkey standing at the door, looking around.
This must be Sun Wukong.
Sneaking forward, Jiang Chen peeked, and finally saw Sun Wukong’s appearance clearly.
He was such a twisted monkey!
With a crooked face, a pointed chin, no flesh on both cheeks, bow legs, and a limping walk, he completely resembled a monkey.
Compared to his sixth teacher, even the monkeys in the zoo looked better than him.
The “crooked face” refers to the joint of a person’s ankle.
One can imagine how strange and ugly a face resembling an ankle bone would look like if it is pointed like the beak of a thunder god.
Such a face, combined with the overall appearance, was indeed terrifying.
In one sentence, description of Sun Wukong:
High cheekbones and low forehead with a crooked face, two yellow eyes, a forehead with a bump; teeth growing outwards, like a crab’s, with meat inside and bone outside.
Naturally gifted people must have unique characteristics, the ancients do not deceive me.
After staring at him for a while, Jiang Chen thought.
While Jiang Chen was examining Sun Wukong, the East Sea Dragon King had already welcomed him inside.
It was not until they were seated and tea offered, that the East Sea Dragon King asked, “When did the immortal achieve Dao, and what immortal technique is he practicing?”
Wukong replied, “Since my birth, I have practiced, attaining an immortal body that neither lives nor perishes.
However, because I was teaching my children and grandchildren and guarding the cave entrance, I lack a weapon.
I have heard for a long time that my neighbor enjoys treasures in his palace, I assume there must be numerous redundant divine artifacts, thus I have come to ask for one.”
Once these words were spoken, everyone understood the monkey’s intention.
He had heard about the numerous treasures in the Dragon Palace and had come to ask for them.
For a moment, everyone laughed.
This monkey had such a thick skin; not only did he come empty-handed, but he also had the audacity to ask for treasures.
Shaking their heads, some were about to scold the monkey for his lack of manners, but before they could speak, they saw the Dragon King already ordered a official hand over a large sword.
Good fellow, this monkey has a big background!
From the Dragon King’s attitude, everyone could guess that this monkey had a huge background, which even made the Dragon King a bit scared.
Understanding this, no one spoke up.
They all quietly sat on the side and watched.
The dragons could not see the origins of Sun Wukong, but Long Ye, who had reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, saw a few clues.
In his eyes, Sun Wukong was shrouded in a thick layer of Buddha’s light, as if he were afraid that people would not see it.
The Buddha’s light was so dazzling that it made Long Ye’s eyes hurt.
From this dazzling Buddha’s light, Long Ye could almost guess the background of this monkey – a disciple of a great figure from the Buddhist door.
No wonder the old Dragon King wants to appease him.
It turns out that there is a great figure from the Buddhist door behind this monkey.
Considering the old Dragon King’s policy of avoiding trouble, he definitely doesn’t want to offend the Buddhist door.
Thinking of this, Long Ye suddenly felt bored and began to drink on his own.
While Long Ye was examining Sun Wukong, he had already tried the Nine-Tooth Rake weighing 3600 jin and the Fangtian Huaji weighing 7200 jin, but he was not satisfied with either.
Having no choice, the East Sea Dragon King had to take him to see the Sea Pacifying God Needle.
What is the Sea Pacifying God Needle?
It was a measuring tool for determining the depth of the sea and rivers during the time of the Great Yu’s water control.
Yes, it was used to measure the depth of the sea, just like a ruler, but much larger.
This piece of iron was not a good item originally, but after the Great Yu controlled the water, it was shared with some merit.
Therefore, it was transformed into a valuable tool of acquired merit.
Thus, this Sea Pacifying God Needle became a treasure.
It’s just that the divine object was hidden, and nobody had discovered it yet.
The East Sea Dragon King took Sun Wukong to see the Sea Pacifying God Needle, which should have nothing to do with Dragon Ye and Jiang Chen.
But just then, a majestic voice, like the sound of Dao, boomed in both of their ears: “Do not let that monkey take the Sea Pacifying God Needle so easily.”
The awe was like heaven, the sound was like Dao, all revealing the powerful strength of the speaker.
Almost instinctively, Dragon Ye and Jiang Chen both responded: “Yes!”
Immediately, both of them regained consciousness, looking at each other with incredulous expressions.
Was that voice just now Emperor Fuxi?
Although they didn’t speak, they could see from each other’s eyes what they wanted to express.
The person who just spoke was Emperor Fuxi!
Admittedly, neither Dragon Ye nor Jiang Chen had ever seen Emperor Fuxi, nor had they ever heard him speak.
But the excitement coming from their bloodline told them clearly that the person who just spoke was Emperor Fuxi!
No one would pretend to be the Emperor.
And no one would dare to do so.
That voice was indeed the Emperor’s, no doubt.
Thinking of this, both of them became excited.
