My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 15 Sun Wukong's Favor
"Finally replaced this tattered body."

Jiang Yuan came out from the hidden tree shade by the roadside, straightened his clothes, and tied the sandbag around his waist.

At this time, he was wearing a short robe with arrow sleeves on his upper body, tanned leather trousers on his lower body, and cowhide boots on his feet.

"It's late autumn, and the sun is still so poisonous?"

He bent down to pick up the straw hat that was on the ground, hung a pair of slingshots on his body, and stuck a short knife behind his waist.

This outfit is completely like an old hunter in the mountains.

These clothes and equipment were all obtained from the Naqi family village.

Although there was a goat demon to transfer Zheng Bowei away, Jiang Yuan didn't stay in Qi's village for a moment.

Even though Qi Chong, Qi Husheng and others did everything possible to persuade him to stay, Jiang Yuan left decisively, and only asked for suitable clothes before leaving.

It's not that he is hypocritical, he can't bear to be embarrassed, so he insists on dressing well.

But wearing that tattered bunt, when entering the city, he might be suspected of being an absconding domestic slave, which would cause unnecessary trouble.

He didn't ask for bows and arrows because some cities would prohibit civilians from carrying bows and arrows.

The slingshot has a bow but no arrows, and it shoots pills. It can only hunt small animals such as rabbits and sparrows, and its power is relatively small.

It is not eye-catching, but it is also good for Jiang Yuan to disguise himself as a hunter, and he can barely protect himself.

After tidying up, Jiang Yuan picked up a pannier from the grass, held the hemp rope strap in his hand, and hung it on one right shoulder.

Immediately, he pressed down the brim of the straw hat, raised it in a big stride, and walked onto the sunny road.

In the back basket were some dried meat, water bladders, dry food, and a mummified old monkey.

The curled up posture of the old monkey's body is exactly the same as that of squatting on the sheep's back before, like a stiff clay sculpture covered in hair.

In fact, it is no different from a clay sculpture, it has been fixed in this posture, and it cannot be broken apart.

If Jiang Yuan was surprised before, now he is very calm.

It wasn't considered a physical body, it was just a body that carried the old monkey's primordial spirit, a pretense of a cadaver immortal.

It's just that ordinary cadaver immortals often use magic weapons that depend on life and death, or carry around robes, magic swords, etc., as false objects.

Firstly, the magic weapon can protect the body, and secondly, the magic weapon depends on its life, so the risk of practice is low.

It can be called an alternative to choose a decayed old body like the old monkey.

Not to mention the inconvenience of movement, it is also very fragile.

Jiang Yuan took the official road, leading directly to the county seat, and people with different identities constantly gathered on this road from all directions.

"drive"

Two riders dressed as samurai came on horseback, and the passers-by gave way one after another. After a burst of smoke and dust were stirred up, they laughed and galloped away.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand to fan away the smoke and dust, cursing to himself for being impolite, and at the same time showing envy, it's better to ride a horse.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan stayed away from the pedestrians, patted his shoulders and back, and called out in a low voice:

"Old Monkey, are you sure we can really enter the city?"

Jiang Yuan wanted to go to the city to buy horses.

Otherwise, just relying on legs, when can I walk to Huaguo Mountain.

After waiting for a while, the old voice floated into my ears:

"Mountain gods and city gods are both yin gods. Under the protection of incense, they can indeed manifest their spirits during the day, but ordinary gods can't bear the share of incense."

Nanzhan Buzhou Shinto is the most prosperous. There are mountain gods in the mountains, land in the roads, and city gods in the cities.

Huaguo Mountain is far away, and Jiang Yuan doesn't know how to ride clouds and fog. How can he walk this way and reach Huaguo Mountain smoothly?
And at this time, the news of the old monkey, the raccoon, and the white sheep should have been spread by the Beiyang Mountain God to the surrounding shrines, temples, and even the practice hall.

The old monkey told Jiang Yuan to relax, not to care too much about those gods during the day.

At night, with its help, no matter whether it is a ghost or a wandering monk, they can easily avoid it.

Although the old monkey's mana is not strong, he is a dead body after all.

And the reason why the two of them didn't go to the barren mountains and mountains, but squeezed into densely populated places, was because they lived in seclusion in the city.

Even if they were discovered, in the busy city, in front of ordinary people, gods and monks would not dare to go too far out of fear.

On the contrary, in the wilderness and forest, they can display it to their heart's content.

By the way, why didn't you mention pangolins?
Because, it failed to escape from Beiyang Mountain Mansion alive.

Of the four demons making trouble in the mountain mansion, only the old monkey and the more ominous sheep demon remain.

And their purpose - to steal the elixir, has not been achieved.

The first time Beiyang Mountain God showed up, he stared at the pill they had stolen and tried his best to snatch it.

The old monkey used that opportunity to help the goat demon escape, and escaped from the mountain mansion before Jiang Yuan and the raccoon demon.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan wanted to know more about the sandbags, so he took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the origin of the raccoon, and by the way, asked about the pangolin and the goat.

The old monkey said that it knew the least about the raccoon.

I've only heard the raccoon confide in himself, saying that it came from the desert in the far west, and got a sandbag from a cave abandoned by a fairy, and was afraid of being robbed, so he fled the desert and ran all the way here.

From the desert in the far west, all the way to the coast of the East China Sea?

It's just nonsense.

According to Jiang Yuan's understanding of the raccoon, it must have stolen the sandbag from somewhere, and was hunted down by the owner, so he had to flee eastward.

If this is the case, Jiang Yuan felt that he would not be able to expose the sandbags so clearly in the future.

As for pangolins.

It's not the Beiyang Mountain magical medicine pet that the raccoon demon said at all, but a local monster in Beiyang Mountain, who got the earth escape method because of an adventure.

The secret path in the cave in Beiyang Mountain Mansion was discovered by accident when it was practicing earth escape in the mountains and drilling around.

Finally, when it came to the sheep demon, the old monkey was a little bit embarrassed.

It turned out that the monster was originally a domesticated white sheep. After the drastic change happened in the master's family, he and the young master depended on each other for life.

Under the care of the little master, he was raised with a little spirituality, and began to transform from a beast into a demon.

However, the little master was murdered by a traitor and died tragically in front of Aries.

Witnessing the tragedy, the demonic superior of Aries tortured and killed the murderer on the spot, and devoured him to death.

A little spiritual wisdom that has just been opened, is contaminated with pollution, ignorant, and often falls into a state of madness.

When he met the old monkey, he was being hunted down by the demon-subduing mage.

The old monkey happened to be short of a mount, so he rescued it and promised that when he arrived at Huaguo Mountain, he would ask the Great Sage to help him get rid of his bloodthirsty desire and restore his spirituality.

Afterwards, the goat demon carried the old monkey through the Beiyang Mountains, where he first met the pangolin and the raccoon demon.

Encouraged by the old monkey, all the demons prepare to go to Huaguo Mountain together.

The pangolin accidentally mentioned that there is a secret way in the Beiyang Mountain Mansion, and that the mountain god is good at alchemy, but it aroused the evil spirit of the raccoon.

"Anyway, we're leaving, so we might as well make a vote before we leave."

"Let me tell you, this yin god's practice is just like us monsters, it is inherently flawed."

"I know that there is a small dragon and tiger pill, which can not only help the Yin God to match Yin and Yang, but also fill in the gaps in our cultivation."

"Since the mountain god can make alchemy, he must have little dragon and tiger pills."

The practice of wild road monsters depends entirely on self-enlightenment, and it is true that they will take many forked paths, and in serious cases, they will even damage the root cause.

If you don't seek the Tao, it's okay, but if you want to continue to deepen and gain a glimpse of the Dao, you must supplement the foundation with celestial lucidum and spiritual things, or cultivate the true method of the Dao.

Many gods and bodhisattvas have monster mounts, and those monsters are also powerful, because the gods can not only provide spiritual things, but also have real methods, which can help monsters practice and attain the Tao.

After the raccoon demon used this to convince the pangolin and the white sheep, he changed a more powerful argument to the old monkey.

"When you visit relatives and friends in the world, you have to prepare a gift or something. The status of Grandpa Dasheng is more noble than the sky. Is it appropriate for us to come empty-handed?"

If not to say that this mountain raccoon is cunning, with such an operation, his own selfish desires have become the target of all demons.

It's a pity that the organ's calculations were too clever, and it cost Qingqing's life instead.

Although Jiang Yuan didn't get the sandbag information he wanted, he couldn't help sighing after hearing about the origins and encounters of the monsters.

After sighing, Jiang Yuan came to his senses, the old monkey talked about other monsters, but he didn't mention himself alone.

Of course he doesn't.

The old monkey didn't want to talk too much, but said that he was able to cultivate the corpse and immortality because of the favor of the great sage, and he went to Huaguo Mountain to repay his kindness.

"Great Holy Grace"?
This old monkey was born in Nanzhan Buzhou, and has never been to Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou. How did he receive the favor of Monkey King?
Could it be that when Sun Wukong traveled around and got acquainted with big monsters such as the Bull Demon King, he passed by Nanzhan Buzhou and enlightened the old monkey?

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan had a flash of inspiration——

The so-called grace may not be enlightenment at all.

Because Monkey King has indeed done a great thing.

All the famous and famous monkeys in the world will accept his kindness because of that incident.

That is, when Monkey King went to the underworld to eliminate life and death, he once wiped out monkeys and the like, but all the famous ones were eliminated!
The old monkey may have received this great favor and lost his name in the underworld, so he cultivated into a corpse-jiexian.

When he thought of Sun Wukong, in front of Yama of the Ten Palaces, sketching life and death as he wished, but the Heavenly Court had no choice but to recall him as a heavenly official, Jiang Yuan yearned for it.

"When can I act so recklessly?"
