PFC Chapter 589 Monkey King
Chapter 589 Monkey King
He himself led the main force to Jiangling without stopping.
Along the way, the people, having heard of Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, flocked to welcome the king's army with food and drink.
When they arrived at Jiangling, the defending general initially intended to put up a stubborn resistance, but seeing the superior equipment and high morale of Liu Bei's army, coupled with the panic among the people in the city, he eventually opened the city gates and surrendered.
After successfully occupying Jiangling, Liu Bei rested briefly before preparing to march south to seize the four commanderies of Jingnan.
Meanwhile, Liu Biao, upon hearing that Xiangyang and Jiangling had fallen in succession in Jingnan, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He hurriedly gathered his remaining forces, attempting to organize a final line of defense. A new great battle was about to unfold on the land of Jingnan.
Chizuru left after Liu Bei captured Jiangling City.
He took Yunxiao with him and headed to the Five Elements Mountain!
.......................
Five Elements Mountain.
Qianhe and Yunxiao appeared directly at the top of Wuxing Mountain.
"Hey, did we fly too far? Are we standing on the mountaintop?" Chizuru asked, looking down.
Yunxiao laughed and said, "It's alright, we can go down now."
With that, they flew down.
At the same time, they also felt the fierce winds blowing from the top of Five Elements Mountain, which blew across the exposed rocks and made a sound like ghosts howling.
However, this was nothing to Chizuru.
"Fairy Yunxiao, have you ever heard of the monkey Sun Wukong?" Qianhe asked Yunxiao as they walked along the mountain path.
"I don't know." Yunxiao shook his head.
"He's similar to Yuan Hong; they both wield sticks. Didn't you see Yuan Hong back then?" Qianhe asked curiously.
"I know, I remember he was the most powerful of the Seven Monsters of Meishan. His original form was a white ape who cultivated to enlightenment. He was over eight feet tall, with a handsome appearance, a thousand years of cultivation, and was proficient in the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and various demonic arts. He could travel ten thousand miles a day, possessed great supernatural powers, and was highly skilled in martial arts. He wielded an iron rod called 'Pillar of Heaven' or 'One Qi Water and Fire Rod'. He was fierce by nature and loved to fight and kill."
Fairy Yunxiao pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Huh? Over eight feet tall, with a handsome appearance? You're not mistaken, are you? Not like a monkey?"
“He has taken human form,” Yunxiao said.
"Like you?"
Yunxiao:.............
"Fellow Daoist, you are very rude." Yunxiao's face turned slightly red.
Can these two statements be considered the same?
"Ah, I misspoke. It is a transformation, while Fairy Yunxiao is..." Qianhe said, momentarily forgetting that Yunxiao was a transformation of a white cloud.
Yunxiao didn't shy away from the topic, saying, "When the world was first created, I was the first cloud in the world to take shape."
“Yes, innate beings…” Qianhe nodded.
Yunxiao smiled and said, "Whether they are born innate beings or acquired beings, as long as they are not treacherous and cunning, that's fine."
“What Fairy Yunxiao says is true.”
......................
They walked and talked.
Just then, they finally arrived at the foot of Five Elements Mountain!
The towering mountain before us is where the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, was trapped!
Everyone looked up and saw a monkey lying there all alone, its entire body crushed by a massive boulder, with only its head and one arm sticking out from the gap.
Back then, the famous Monkey King Sun Wukong was so majestic that he dared to venture into the Heavenly Court alone, causing chaos throughout the Heavenly Palace.
However, he has now ended up in this state, suppressed here for three hundred years.
The long years passed mercilessly, and the once spirited and invincible Monkey King was now trapped in this cramped space, unable to move at all.
His once agile and nimble body was now tightly compressed by the incredibly heavy rocks, as if they were about to crush it.
The only remaining head was exposed, covered in dust and weeds, looking utterly wretched.
The passage of time has etched deep marks on his once dashing face, and his eyes, which were once as bright as stars, now reveal a hint of weariness and helplessness that is hard to conceal.
..........................
Initially, Sun Wukong harbored resentment, and whenever someone passed by, he would curse the Buddha.
However, as time went by, he gradually realized his mistake, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
Whenever night falls and all is quiet, Sun Wukong would raise his head and gaze intently at the vast and boundless starry sky above.
