My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 52 The Secret Recipe of Water Curtain Cave

Jiang Yuan jumped into the Feiquan Waterfall, and immediately understood what it means to have a hole in the sky.

The landing is a natural stone bridge, a huge water flow rushes through the stone caves under the bridge, and flows out from the cave entrances upside down.

There are a few pruning bamboos beside the bridge, scattered plum blossoms, and tall and straight green pines. The flying water splashes on the flowering trees like raindrops.

The blue and green stone moss is dotted everywhere, and there are crystal jade floating on the stone wall like clouds.

The sun shines through the waterfall, and patches of haze flicker.

When you get on the stone bridge, you will see a stone tablet, engraved with a line of big characters "Huaguoshan blessed land, water curtain cave and cave sky".

Behind the stone bridge is a spacious and bright huge stone cave, or stone house.

There are stone pots and stoves, bowls and pans, beds, and shacks, and several quiet rooms are divided by green bamboos, plum blossoms, and stone screens with virtual windows.

Really a good cave!

It's a pity that it's not a clean place, and the cave is full of alcohol, noisy and evil.

Not only the monkeys are thronging, but there are also 72 half-human, half-beast monsters, including tigers, leopards, wolves, deer, wild hogs, mountain oxen, antelopes, and green scorpions. Judging by their power, all of them are not weaker than the green-scaled demon king. .

As soon as Sun Wukong appeared, the demon kings of the 72 caves shouted in unison:
"Why did the Great Sage delay? The gluttons I'm waiting for are almost hooked out by that fairy wine?"

"Happy, happy, friends come from afar."

Sun Wukong supported the old monkey's stiff body, passed through the crowd of demon kings with joy, and walked up to the main seat on the high platform.

Put the old monkey on the seat at hand, pointed to Jiang Yuan and others, and told the four masters next to the chief seat:

"Add seats to these friends."

An old monkey with a white beard waved his hand to summon a few little monkeys, and those little monkeys bounced up and brought up the stone chairs, adding two seats at the end of the 72-hole demon king.

Outside the Water Curtain Cave, Jiang Yuan and the old monkey fulfilled their agreement and helped the Qinglin Demon King speak well.

Although the agreement was forced by the Qinglin Demon King, the Demon King did allow them to arrive at Huaguo Mountain faster and more smoothly.

Jiang Yuan also got the Dragon Palace water fork.

Therefore, King Qinglin was also invited into the cave.

"What about mine?"

Jiang Yuan and the Qinglin Demon King took their seats, but there was no seat for the Mouse Demon, and the yellow-haired mouse yelled in dissatisfaction.

The little monkeys smiled and said, "You little mouse is also a friend of the Great Sage?"

"Of course, my name is King Jin, and the Great Sage also said that he would reward me with a sip of immortal wine."

The rat demon jumped onto the stone table, crossed his hips and said proudly, "If you don't believe me, go ask the Great Sage."

The Water Curtain Cave is very large, and the monster kings of Cave 72 are all oddly shaped and of different sizes, the big ones are two or three feet long, and the short ones are four or five feet long.

At the same time, considering the face of the demon kings, there is plenty of seating space and the gaps are large.

Spread out along this road, there is a distance of hundreds of feet from the last seat to the high platform where Monkey King is.

The little monkeys turned their heads to look at the high platform in the distance, and after discussing with each other for a while, they still moved a stone chair for the rat demon.

The yellow-haired mouse happily jumped onto the stone chair, but with its small body, it couldn't reach the table. After scratching its head in embarrassment, it jumped back to the table.

It made those little monkeys laugh wildly.

Jiang Yuan looked away from the rat demon, dumbfounded, and looked at the high platform.

Sun Wukong is happily introducing the old monkey, the monster monkey and all the monster kings in Shuilian Cave, and they are also cheering and praising for face.

Jiang Yuan already knew about the old monkey, and his attention was on the four masters.

According to what the Tathagata Buddha said, there are four monkeys in the Zhou Dynasty, which do not belong to the ten categories of five insects and five immortals.

And these four masters are the Chijiri Horse Monkey and the Brachial Monkey.

The former is well versed in yin and yang, understands human affairs, is good at going in and out, avoids death and prolongs life.

The latter can take the sun and the moon, shrink thousands of mountains, distinguish between faults and faults, and manipulate the universe.

The story of Journey to the West doesn't focus much on them. If the Tathagata Buddha hadn't made it clear later, I'm afraid they wouldn't have known that they had such amazing talents.

But in just a few words, it also reveals its extraordinary.

For example, when Sun Wukong was afraid of death and Taoism was born, it was they who said that Buddhas, immortals and saints would not enter reincarnation and live forever, so Sun Wukong went to sea to seek Taoism.

The Buddha and Immortal here, as the name suggests, and the sacred, refers to the holy king of Shinto.

For another example, when Monkey King wanted to find a weapon in his hand, they also pointed out the water flow under the stone bridge, which led directly to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.

Not to mention their strength, just with this level of knowledge, they are no ordinary monkey spirits and monkey monsters.

Jiang Yuan is basically familiar with Monkey King's deeds. After the excitement of seeing him for the first time passed, he became more interested in these four monkeys.

Jiang Yuan's ability is not enough, and his cultivation level cannot be seen, but it should be no worse than the 72 cave demon king, at least the cultivation base of a real demon.

Maybe after the banquet, you can ask the old monkey.

Apart from the four masters, another thing that interested Jiang Yuan was who was the previous owner of the Water Curtain Cave.

However, the monkey group has been in charge of this cave for 200 years, and the monkey head has a stubborn temper, so even if there were any traces left, they would have disappeared long ago.

Jiang Yuan silently looked around, but found nothing unusual.

However, this Huaguo Mountain seems to be the ancestral vein of the Ten Continents, and the dragons came from the Three Islands. It is by no means an ordinary status to be able to open a cave here.

The real cultivators of the gods on the three islands of the ten continents must know the relevant secrets. When the cultivation level is high in the future, they can go to inquire about it.

Jiang Yuan was thinking wildly, when the little monkeys who moved the stone chairs came back again, this time to serve the food.

Peach, watermelon, banana, persimmon, and various unknown exotic fruits were laid out in front of Jiang Yuan one by one.

The melons and fruits were gone, it was meat dishes, but to Jiang Yuan's surprise, it was not bloody raw meat, but cooked vegetables.

only--

Jiang Yuan resisted the urge to cover his mouth and nose, pointed to a steaming pot, and asked the little monkey:

"What kind of dish is this?"

The little monkey bragged: "This is the secret recipe of Nanzhan Buzhou cuisine that Grandpa Dasheng passed on to us when he came back from seeking Taoism. In the entire Huaguo Mountain, we are the only one in Shuilian Cave!"

After showing off for a while, the little monkey put on a solemn expression and said loudly: "This dish is called stewed hare with honey yam!"

Jiang Yuan always wanted to go to the high platform and ask Sun Wukong, this is the secret recipe he got from Nanzhan Buzhou.

Another hot crock was brought up.

Jiang Yuan almost spat out the fishy smell that hit his face:
"This, what is it?"

The little monkey serving the food was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yuan's performance, and said angrily, "Boil pheasant with ginger juice and yellow essence!"

Jiang Yuan couldn't help it, rolled his eyes, and pointed at Monkey King on the high platform:
"Is it also the secret recipe for your great sage's return?"

"Of course!"

The little monkey nodded vigorously.

Jiang Yuan pointed again at the table in front of Monkey King, where there were only melons, fruits and wine:
"Then why don't you serve these dishes to the Great Sage?"

The little monkey took it for granted: "Our great sage grandpa has cultivated a breath of fresh air since he was a child, and never eats meat and fish. Moreover, the great sage grandpa has already become an immortal. He does not eat grains, but breathes wind and drinks dew."

Then why did he teach you these things!
Jiang Yuan was speechless, so he had to wave his hand to let the little monkey withdraw:

"I'm also a cultivator. I want to cultivate the spiritual energy and not eat meat. Take it away."

At this time, the Qinglin Demon King who was sitting next to him said anxiously:

"Little monkey, if he doesn't eat, give it to me."
