Chapter 14: The Six Ears Borrow the Prestige of Sun Wukong, Farewell to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits
"I, the Great King, can walk upright just like you." Liu Er thought for half a day and finally came up with something that made Sun Wukong special: "My great king also has a group of subordinates, my Monkey Grandfather's arm-wrestling strength is unmatched and extremely powerful."
"Is that all your king is capable of? Hmm? Walking upright, just a transformation technique, what else can your king do?" Mixed World Demon laughed loudly.
"Don't be smug, my king! What's so special about my king? I'm just a small monkey and don't know, but I do know what my second king is capable of. If you think you can compare to my king, you're sadly mistaken! You're not even as good as my second king!" At this critical moment, Liu Er suddenly remembered the legend of Sun Yuan. It's said that Liu Er, this poor monkey, still hasn't seen Sun Yuan's true face until now. The other day when Sun Yuan came down from the mountain, Liu Er was busy with emotional matters and didn't have time to meet him. However, he did catch a glimpse of the black wind that Sun Yuan rode in on, so in his heart, this mysterious second king seemed incredibly formidable.
"Oh, you'd better tell me, let me hear what kind of skills your Second Master has." The Demon King of the Mortal World waved his hand and pulled over a stone stool to sit down.
"Listen up, my Second Master can summon the wind and rain, my Second Master can turn beans into soldiers, refine stones into gold, swallow clouds and spit out fog, summon fierce winds. My Second Master is eight zhang tall, with three heads and six arms, can you do that? My Second Master can move mountains and seas, flatten the peaks of Flower Fruit Mountain with a pile of stones, can you do that? My Second Master can predict people's life and death before it happens, can you do that?" The Six Ears Monkey spoke more and more fervently, recounting all sorts of legends about Sun Wukong, with an increasingly excited tone.
What he said here is indeed nonsense, speaking to the point of excitement, Liu Er's saliva flew everywhere, with a look of being in a state of ecstasy. However, this demon was getting colder and colder as he listened, especially when he heard Liu Er's description of three parts truth and seven parts falsehood. His face, which was already very dark, turned even darker after hearing it. Not to mention other things, just the divine powers that can summon the wind and rain, with three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to achieve even if he practiced for a thousand years!
The demon's heart gradually cooled down as he thought of the legend of the older generation, and he began to realize that he might have provoked something he shouldn't have. After a long time, the demon waved his arm and said, "Don't say anything else, you Second King, no matter how powerful you are, can't you still be reasonable? This is the territory of my Water Cavern Cave, you broke in, I have the right to take you, even if your king knew about it, he wouldn't say anything."
Just as Liu Er was getting into the swing of things, he suddenly heard a voice and was taken aback. He didn't know why this person didn't want to hear him continue speaking, but since they were under the same roof, he had no choice but to lower his head. Although he had the prestige of being one of the two great kings, these monsters might not necessarily dare to do anything to him, but as the saying goes, "a strong dragon does not oppress a snake in its own territory." Liu Er thought this over and immediately shut his mouth, causing the surrounding monsters who were trembling with fear to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
He paused, the demon looked at the tiger and wild boar with some resentment in his heart, secretly scolding "These two good-for-nothing guys are always causing me trouble!" Although the demon's words were pleasant, he was actually afraid to an extreme degree. His eyes rolled around, and soon a plan formed in his mind, thinking to himself "Forget it, since this matter started with these two people, I'll just let them handle it. If anything happens later, I can just push the blame onto them."
"Alright, I'll spare you since you're still young. I'll hand you over to Hu Xianfeng and Zhu Xianfeng for now, so when your family arrives, they won't say that I bullied someone younger than me." With that, Hunshi Mo swept his sleeve and left with big strides, leaving behind a bitter-looking wild boar and an old tiger. The two poor demons looked at each other, seeing how the surrounding demons seemed to be avoiding them like the plague, and even with Zhu's dull wit, they knew they had gotten themselves into big trouble!
Moreover, it is obvious that their great king has already known this point and threw this hot potato to them. The meaning is very clear: since you have caused the trouble, when the adults come to your door, you will be responsible for solving it. This great king is completely unaware of the situation.
The wild boar and the tiger had no choice but to swallow their pride and approach the Six Ears, who still couldn't quite tell what was going on. No matter how suffocated they felt in their hearts, they had to serve this guy well, for now their lives depended on this little ancestor.
Pressing down the six ears is not shown, only saying that Sun Yuan and Sun Wukong and other monkey friends gathered at Huaguo Mountain every day, drinking and feasting, living a happy life. On this day, two big kings gathered four old monkeys to drink wine after finishing.
Sun Yuan stood up during the banquet and said, "Brothers, these past few days, thanks to the great king and several brothers' kindness, since I came down from the mountain, every day has been a feast, not a single moment of coldness towards me. Here, I express my gratitude."
"Two Great Kings, what are you talking about? We're thrilled that you've come! Brothers, isn't that right?" Tongbi Yuanhu stood up and laughed, in the entire Huaguo Mountain, except for Mei Houwang, Tongbi Yuanhu admired Sun Wukong the most.
"It's just that, Yellow Monkey, you're too polite. Brothers haven't gathered for fifty years, these few days are not enough, we need to continue the revelry for a few more days to show our bond and display the harmony of the Flower Fruit Mountain monkey tribe!" Long Hair stood up, raised his wine cup and shouted.
"Alright, alright, brothers listen to me finish speaking. This time I came down the mountain for two reasons: one is to visit you brothers and the king, now seeing everyone's spirit improving day by day, my heart is also at ease. The second reason is to resolve the conflict between Tongbei and Changmao, obviously this task was already completed a few days ago. So, I think I won't disturb you all anymore, brother, I'll return to the mountain now. Don't worry about me, brothers." Sun Yuan raised his wine cup and said "Come on, everyone drink up! Until we have another chance, let's meet again!"
"Hold on, what does the Second Grand King mean by this?" The drunken Beautiful Monkey King waved his hand and stood up, having caught the implication of Sun Yuan's departure.
"Heh heh, I won't hide it from you, Your Majesty. This time out has already been over a week, and during this period, I've been having a great time with all my brothers every day. However, these past few days have seen my cultivation progress slow down to almost a standstill! So, brother, I'm afraid the time has come for me to leave. The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current - if you don't move forward, you'll fall back!"
"What's wrong, Huang Hou, you're leaving again? Is your cultivation really that important?" Long Mao had just sat down when he heard this sentence and seemed to have been stung by a bee, suddenly jumping up.
"Yes, I have come to the time when I must leave. Brothers, let's drink this cup together. Whether it's a hundred years or fifty-sixty years, when I've completed my cultivation, I'll return and gather with you brothers again." Sun Yuan raised his wine cup once more.
