Chapter 170 Sending Wukong Back to Flower Fruit Mountain
Drain the estuary.
The river god stood in front of the table, inhaling the aroma intensely. Without a physical form, he couldn't eat a single bite, and in his desperation, he wished he could turn them all into gold.
Yang Jiao carefully put away the longevity lock before returning to the River God Temple.
Yang Jian, now sporting a round belly, sighed with satisfaction. Having eaten his fill, he turned his curious gaze to Nezha and asked him with utmost sincerity and without a trace of malice:
"It's amazing, you're the same height both times I've seen you. Why don't you grow up?"
His eyes were full of curious questions, and he tilted his head to continue:
"Is it because you like this height?"
Nezha's expression darkened.
Is it because I like it?!
Since transforming into a lotus, he hasn't grown at all in over a year, while Yang Jiao is now as tall as him.
Despite his grief and indignation, his face remained defiant, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Yang Jiao knew exactly where Nezha's sore spot was, so she flicked her wrist and tapped Yang Jian on the head as a reminder:
"If you're not full, eat some more to fill your mouth."
She thought of a technique to calm Nezha down, her eyes lit up, and she said happily:
"Nezha! Doesn't Taoism have a technique called 'Heaven and Earth Transformation'? After mastering it, one can grow ten thousand feet tall!"
Nezha became interested upon hearing this, as he had never heard of such a miraculous technique before.
Yang Jiao only knew that there were only two people who could manipulate the heavens and the earth: Sun Wukong and his own younger brother Yang Jian.
She knew how profound this technique was, but she couldn't let go of the system she possessed!
The probability of drawing the technique that both of them possess is quite high.
So Yang Jiao comforted him, saying:
"It's okay, I'll teach you once I've learned it."
"The law of heaven and earth?" Yang Jian found the term very familiar. After a moment's thought, he suddenly sat up straight and said, "I know this!"
As the sole disciple of Jade Cauldron Immortal, the ultimate encyclopedia of the Three Realms, Yang Jian is now a mini-encyclopedia himself, and proudly declared:
"Isn't it just about using one's own abilities to control the power of heaven and earth? I don't find it as interesting as the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts."
Nezha felt as if he had been thirsty for a long time and suddenly saw a spring of sweet water. He felt a slight itch in his heart. Since it was Taoist magic, his master must know about it!
Then, he looked at Yang Jian suspiciously:
"And how did you come to know about the family's martial arts techniques?"
Yang Jian wanted to show off a bit, because his master was the Jade Cauldron Immortal! He knew everything about heaven and earth, and his strength was extraordinary.
But then he remembered that his master forbade him to mention him, so he said awkwardly:
"My master is too mysterious; he won't let me reveal his name."
Nezha began to speculate in his mind: Could the person who could teach Yang Jian the sect's techniques and whose status was not low be... the vice sect leader, Randeng?
Yang Jiao knew that these two masters were very close fellow disciples, but she dared not utter a single word about it.
If Nezha were to hear that it was his senior uncle, Jade Cauldron Immortal, and then reveal his cultivation level, Yang Jian might just plunge headfirst into the river mouth, crying so hard he'd be thrown out.
The two had different thoughts.
Eager to grow taller, Nezha immediately stood up and said to Yang Jiao:
"I'll go back to Golden Light Cave to find my master and make sure he teaches me!"
"When I come to see you next time, I will be taller than all of you."
Having said that, he ignored Yang Jiao's attempts to stop him and flew away on his Wind and Fire Wheels.
Yang Jiao stood in front of the table, one hand still outstretched, her lips twitching.
What should we do?!
Taiyi Zhenren doesn't know how to manifest the heavens and the earth at all!
Sun Wukong, sitting to the side, also looked in the direction Nezha had left, silently memorizing that insight.
With one's own abilities, one can control the power of heaven and earth.
The laws of heaven and earth...
A body ten thousand feet tall...
Even Wukong needs to learn this!
Otherwise, they would fall behind Yang Jian.
After everyone dispersed, Nezha's departure left Yang Jiao with no appetite, and she sullenly thought that she should go back to cultivate as well.
She touched Sun Wukong's forehead and poked it.
"Sister~"
Wukong didn't flinch at all, letting Yang Jiao poke him for a while, his eyes only growing brighter.
Yang Jiao looked at it several times, somewhat reluctantly, before saying:
"It's time to send you back to Flower Fruit Mountain."
The light in Sun Wukong's eyes dimmed instantly, and he stopped making a fuss, lowering his head and uttering a soft "hmm".
A few days away was enough for him.
I also learned a lot from this, which will provide me with some entertainment for the long time to come.
However, it also made him yearn for freedom even more.
By this time, Yang Jian was already quite skilled at riding the clouds, so Yang Jiao didn't go home to get the tricycle. Instead, they each rode the clouds and flew towards Flower Fruit Mountain.
The Mosquito Taoist, accompanied by Jingwei, was going for the first time and was extremely curious:
"Is Huaguo Mountain fun? Do they have any good drinks?"
"The ancestral land of the ten continents is certainly fun, a fairyland on earth with trees laden with fruit and birds flying around."
After Yang Jiao finished praising him, Yang Jian pursed his lips and, taking advantage of his sister's inattention, leaned close to Mosquito Daoist and whispered:
"Absolutely not! Flower Fruit Mountain is no fun at all!"
Yang Jian was extremely averse to this place! Just thinking about it gave him a headache!
After flying for most of the day, the Yang siblings finally landed here when they were both out of breath.
The sound of cicadas chirping in the summer air, and once you enter Huaguo Mountain, it's as if you're shielded from the scorching heat outside, with a gentle breeze on your face.
The surrounding mountains are not high, but there are always pools and springs, and the fragrance of flowers and fruits wafts everywhere.
From the summit, one can see Yuntaipu Sea, with white clouds rolling like waves.
Sun Wukong looked down at the place that had nurtured him for millions of years, then stood silently in front of the spirit stone.
Yang Jiao slowly squatted down in front of him, hugged his small monkey body, and whispered:
"After you are born, your sister has prepared many gifts for you. Wukong, grow up well."
Having already mastered the art of astral projection, Sun Wukong could easily emerge from his body. However, the downside of emerging once would be a delayed birth, which would make him feel that he was betraying the merits his sister had bestowed upon him.
He nodded understandingly.
Then, not daring to delay any longer, the primordial spirit floated out of the monkey's body and was instantly absorbed into the stone embryo in the spirit stone.
I returned to that cramped place where even moving was extremely difficult.
After his soul left, the little monkey's body went limp and collapsed. Yang Jiao quickly caught it.
They dug a hole on the spot and buried it next to a rock.
Yang Jiao looked at the little monkey inside the boulder, who could only gaze longingly at the outside world, and stroked it with her palm.
I eagerly await his birth.
"Sister, you should leave. If you stand here, Wukong will try to come out of his body again to find you."
Wukong pressed himself against the stone wall, bent one of his claws, and struck it three times.
This is their little secret; they knock before coming or leaving.
Yang Jiao slowly turned around and left, looking back every few steps.
Only after I calmed down did I realize!
"Huh?"
"Where are Mosquito Taoist and Jian'er?"
