Chapter 62: Sun Wukong Pays Homage to Patriarch Subhuti

  Everyone watching, it is said that a mean person will always be mean, and an evil person will always have someone to deal with. The meanness of Huang Shiren has no equal in the world, and his wickedness is unmatched under heaven.

  Jin Ao Island's numerous immortals, which one hasn't suffered from Huang Shi Ren's arrogance? Which one mentions Huang Shi Ren without gnashing their teeth in hatred yet being unable to do anything about it?

  Look at that monkey questioning Huang Shiren, it's really like drinking iced beer on a hot summer day, the monks in the temple seeing a beautiful donor, they're so delighted that they can't help but laugh and want to see his joke.

  Good old Huang! His face is as thick as the sky, and there's no one else like him. Upon hearing these words, he didn't feel ashamed or annoyed, but instead looked at the monkey and stretched out two fingers.

  "You scoundrel, do you know what time it is?"

  The monkey was confused by him, although he had not been born for long and had not been deeply involved in worldly affairs, but he was clever and quick-witted. How could he not know what this was? Looking at Old Huang's two fingers, he scratched his face and said loudly: "Two!"

  "Good grief, you're really a numbskull!" Old Huang glared at the monkey and bellowed, "You scoundrel, do you know who you are and who I am?!"

  Lao Huang let out a loud shout, like the sound of a great bell, which shook the monkey's ears and made them ring continuously. The sound penetrated deep into his soul, echoing back and forth, leaving the monkey stunned for a moment!

  Yes, who am I? Who is me again? What's the relationship between this monkey and me? How do I position myself with the monkey? The more the monkey thinks about it, the more complicated it gets, the more it gets tangled up, so anxious that it scratches its ears and cheeks, jumping up and down!

  "My goodness, such a philosophical question, if you figure it out, will I still be alive?!" Huang Shiren chuckled to himself.

  "And I ask you, who am I?!" The monkey couldn't think of an answer, so he laid down his cards and questioned Huang Shiren.

  Huang Shiren let out a dry laugh, picked up a chopstick and tapped the bowl loudly, saying in a loud voice: "You scoundrel, do you know who you are and who I am? Listen carefully!"

  "Your master originally lived at the summit of Mei Mountain, with a house and fields in his home, living a life full of joy."

  Who would have thought that Yun Zhongzi was so overbearing and unreasonable, colluding with the authorities and disregarding justice, occupying my large house and seizing my fields.

  My master and I had a falling out with him, and he was beaten flat by his stick.

  Your second uncle scolded him for deceiving good people, but was instead forced to have sex with a chrysanthemum door one hundred times! One hundred times!

  In the end, it was just the two of us who left our hometown.

  Drifting into this golden sea and sky!

  Little did I know these little deities

  One by one, they don't take your master seriously

  Slap me in the face and spit on it

  I endured humiliation and visited immortals everywhere!

  You are the spirit of heaven and earth

  Master, I have been diligently by your side

  Seek a mouthful of immortal energy for you to share half, find an elixir fruit to add to your life!

  It's not easy to send you into Qinglian Pond

  Three years have passed and you've become even more beautiful!

  These scoundrels drove me far away from the island.

  Master, I endured hunger and hardship outside, and only came closer when I heard you were born!

  For you, I have offended countless powerful people, for you, I have endured hardships and humbled myself!

  Today you were born and I met you, but you're so disobedient that it's embarrassing for me as your master!

  What are you asking me in front of these scoundrels! Don't give me any face in front of these scoundrels!

  You rascal, in this courtyard I once bathed you, and for your sake, with a body full of wounds, I did needlework!

  Now you're so arrogant and don't want to learn from others, now your heart is as cruel as a wolf's and as fawning as a dog's, how despicable!

  If I had known earlier, I would have smashed you with an iron rod! If I had known earlier, I would have refined you in the fire dan furnace!

  "Despicable wretch, you don't recognize your master's authority, despicable wretch, do you know that Master is now on the verge of death and who will come to visit!"

  Old Huang's hands flew in unison, one hand striking the drum with a resounding clang, the sound like thunderclaps, as he beat and howled, howled and wept, until tears streamed down his face like pear blossoms in the rain, until the rivers and seas sobbed, until the wind and clouds changed color, and that monkey was left staring blankly.

  He is the spiritual seed of heaven and earth. After hearing Lao Huang's words, he vaguely remembered that when he was inside the stubborn stone, there was a face that looked at him with kindness every day, vaguely remembered a pair of big hands that touched him every day, and vaguely remembered a pair of big hands gently putting him into the green lotus pool!

  Looking at this face, listening to this song, the monkey's heart is like a knife twisting, a warm current surges out, with a thud, he falls to the ground on his knees, hugging Huang Shiren's legs, shouting loudly: "Master! My mother! The apprentice remembers you! The apprentice misses you so much that I want to cry!"

  "My dear son! I've finally met you!"

  Two cheap people, hugging each other, wailed so loudly that the Golden Rooster Island flew out countless birds, and a group of people turned their faces to vomit, what a miserable scene!

  "Master! As soon as I was born, these people locked me up in one place. That guy just now, he looked at me and started throwing punches! I thought I had no relatives, I thought I was a lone star in the sky! So I escaped and wandered around everywhere, but didn't know that there were things outside that couldn't be broken through. Under duress, I hid back in the yard! Master, you must stand up for me! Mother, you must avenge me!"

  That monkey poured out a bellyful of grievances, with a handful of snot and a handful of tears, all smeared on Huang Shiren's Taoist robe, making Huang Shiren cry and laugh at the same time.

  "Good disciple! Don't be angry! Don't be sad! Master will let you vent your anger today! Master will make these scoundrels bloom with splendor!" Huang Shiren pulled out the Wind and Thunder Rod, took out the Golden Finger, and sacrificed the Twenty-Four Heavenly Execution Lotus Platform. The evil spirits turned their faces away, but when they looked back, they found that one of the Intercepting Teachings' immortals was gone, and two had run away with a flash!

  These two scoundrels, one with a black heart and a festering wound on his head, the other a freak born as a great sage, all the immortals in the realm saw them gathering together and knew things were going to be bad, who would still be foolish enough to stay here and get beaten up?!

  "Good apprentice! I'll settle accounts with them one by one another day!" Huang Shiren put away his treasure, smiling to himself.

  The monkey opened his big mouth, nodded and said: "Master, I have now found you and also know my origin, but I don't know your name or the tradition of our school."

  "Alright, alright. As your master, I have a name and a title, so naturally I should give you some guidance." Huang Shiren sat down with his legs crossed, speaking seriously: "Good disciple, listen to me. Your master's name is Shiren, also known as Huang San. Your master's ancestor was a humble person named Lu Ya, the first of the three immortals! You have an older brother named Yuan Hong, and your moral character is similar to his monkey-like face. You have a younger brother who has not yet been born, and his name will be Nezha. And there are also the Seven Uncles of Mei Mountain, whom I will introduce you to later."

  Suddenly hearing this, the stone monkey knew that he had many relatives and didn't feel lonely anymore. He was overjoyed and asked: "Master, what is my surname and what am I called?"

  Huang Shiren chuckled and said, "You were born a mischievous monkey. I'll take a surname from your body to teach you. The character '猢' (hú) minus the animal radical is an ancient moon. Ancient means old; moon means yin. Old yin cannot give birth, so it's better to teach you to be surnamed '狲' (sūn). The character '狲' minus the animal radical is a child's belt. Child means boy; belt means delicate. It perfectly matches the theory of infants. Let me teach you to be surnamed 'Sun' instead."

  The monkey, overjoyed, knocked his head again and said: "Good, good, good! Today I finally know my surname. I hope the Master will be merciful! Now that I have a surname, I beg you to give me a name, so it's convenient for people to call me."

  He clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "This name has been thought of by the master for a long time. The world is vast, with many bad people, to survive, one must rely on their own hard work and cultivation to comprehend the Tao. And since all four elements are empty, ultimately achieving Nirvana, I'll just call you Wukong."

  The monkey, having heard these words, felt that they contained boundless wisdom. After some careful consideration, he gained a great deal of insight and was overjoyed. He shouted loudly: "Good! Good! Good! From today on, I will be called Sun Wukong!"

  What a cheap person, one more won't make a difference, another disaster descends upon the three realms!

  The two scoundrels, master and apprentice, met by chance, Huang Shiren gained a cheap apprentice, Sun Wukong gained a cheap master, both were overjoyed.

  "Ah, my disciple! Our meeting is a heavenly coincidence! Come, come, come, let me give you a gift to celebrate our encounter!" Huang Shiren looked at Wukong with joy, gazing at his masterpiece created by his own hands. He took out several magical treasures from his celestial bag and placed them in front of Sun Wukong.

  "Wukong, this staff is called the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure and the Dinghai Shen Zhen. It weighs 13,500 pounds, can expand or contract, and be soft or hard. It's truly a great tool for pounding and smashing! These shoes are called the Lotus-Step Cloud-Sole Shoes, this armor is the Lock-Pattern Yellow-Gold Armor, and this crown is the Fengchi Purple-Gold Crown. All of these were painstakingly obtained by Master from the Dragon King and left especially for you. Try them on and see how they fit."

  Sun Wukong was born with a smooth and shiny monkey body, without any weapons or clothes. When he saw the magical treasures on the ground, he naturally knew they were not ordinary objects. He put on his armor, took up his staff, and with one leap, he flew halfway to the sky. As he wielded his staff, heaven and earth shook violently!

  "It's really 'people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles', otaku still need Wu Tong Lan! This guy was a hoodlum just now, but with this outfit, he's become heroic! No wonder he's the Great Sage Equal of Heaven Monkey King! Ah! I've suffered so much to bring you out, it wasn't in vain!" Huang Shi Ren was overjoyed by Sun Wukong's skills, delighted as if drinking honey!

  After playing around, Wukong fell down and looked at his Ruyi Jingu Bang again. He also looked at the clothes on his body and thought to himself: "My master is still the best! For my sake, he suffered so much and didn't forget to get me a set of clothes and some divine weapons! As the saying goes, 'If you don't repay kindness, you're a scoundrel.' My master treated me like this, in the future, anyone who doesn't show respect to him will be beaten to death with one stick! Whether they are born from their parents or grown on a wooden stick, I'll knock them down with one stick! This is the only way to repay my master's kindness!"

  "Wukong, are you satisfied with this weapon and these clothes?" Huang Shiren said.

  Wukong chuckled and said, "Satisfied? How can I not be satisfied?! However, Master, your Daoist robe is fiery red and extremely flashy. My golden armor is majestic, but it can't compare to your flashiness. As the saying goes, 'like master, like apprentice', 'like dung, like dung beetle'. Master, let me be flashy too!"

  "This scoundrel!" Huang Shiren saw his own shadow of scraping the ground from this goods. He had given Monkey King everything he could, what else was there? Seeing Monkey King staring at him with eager eyes, he couldn't bear it either.

  I get it now, I finally understand the confusion in my cheap master's heart when I was searching him earlier! This master is not someone ordinary people can handle, especially a cheap person's master. Forget it, forget it, forget it, can only find the leader of Tongtian Sect now, this monkey has his own spiritual yang, looking at this, he also has to shed some blood!

  "Wukong, follow Master, Master knows someone has something suitable for you." Huang Shiren sneered.

  Huang Shiren wore a fiery red Taoist robe, striding forward with a wicked grin on his face. Sun Wukong followed behind him, carrying a staff and looking rather pleased with himself. The two scoundrels rushed towards the Biyou Palace in a cloud of smoke!

  It seems that the master of Tongtian Sect is going to be in big trouble!###The first update is here. Fellow Taoist friends, I seem to see you laughing. Hehe. It's enjoyable to watch, after finishing laughing, why not give a recommendation vote or something, and collect it too? Thanks!
