No taboos in the world

Chapter 501: Wukong escapes from the Five Finger Mountain, and Lady Pingxin lends a helping hand

Work at sunrise. Rest at sunset.

Dig a well for drinking and till the land for food.

What power does the emperor have over me?

I am really free and happy, but I am also really tired.

But once you get used to it, it's not as hard to accept as you imagined.

In just a few months, Hong Chen felt as if he had really become a farmer of this era. Apart from farming, crops, farm work, etc., he would never think about anything else every day.

What great laws, what great calamity of the Journey to the West, what realm of the Golden Immortal, what emperor of heaven...

What I am concerned about now is whether the harvest from my fields will be good this year?
Someone once said that people cannot imagine things beyond their own cognition. All seemingly wild imaginations are actually often based on existing cognition and experience.

It was as if he had now taken the initiative to gather together everything that he should not know as a farmer, and only kept what he should know.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of being a mortal as described by Nuwa.

Of course, mortals are not completely free of worries.

These days, there are too many people coming to my house to propose marriage.

"Granny Wang, I really don't want to get married yet." Hong Chen said very seriously, with a helpless expression.

"Oh, child, how can you survive without getting married?"

Granny Wang is a famous matchmaker in the area. She is very popular because of her personality and the way she deals with things. She never hides or exaggerates when she is matchmaking, and she always makes both the man and the woman very satisfied and grateful.

Granny Wang came here today because she was asked by a wealthy family in Jingyang County to make inquiries.

The reason was that the young lady of that family saw Hong Chen working in the fields when she went out hunting, and she could not forget him at first sight.

Originally, according to the rules of marrying someone of equal status, the other family would never agree to such nonsense. However, later on, the young lady's family found out that Hong Chen was actually quite wealthy, but he was not lazy and still retained the habit of hard work, so they were very satisfied.

They also heard that many families were eyeing this young man, so the family became a little anxious and quickly invited Granny Wang.

Granny Wang gently grasped Hong Chen's hand and said gently, "Child, listen to me. Even if you really despise that young lady, you can't joke about marriage. How can a good man not get married and start a family? Besides, you have saved up such a rich fortune now. Your parents in heaven must be pleased.

From now on, I believe their only wish is that you can get married and have children as soon as possible. Not to mention inheriting the family business or having children, but at least, when you are old, there will be someone to support you and you can live a stable life. "

Hong Chen could only sigh.

What Granny Wang said certainly made sense, but there are always exceptions.

If Hong Chen agreed right now, there was no guarantee that Taibai Jinxing would pop out from somewhere and hug him and shout at him in the next second.

"Grandma Wang, to be honest, you are the thirteenth person to come to me. I understand what you mean, but I still have some important things to do, so I can't get married for the time being." Seeing that Grandma Wang was about to speak again, he quickly added: "But I promise you that after I finish my own things, if I want to get married, I will be the first to find you to help me act as a matchmaker. How do you think?"

At this point, Granny Wang could see that he was very determined, so she said no more, sighed, left her address and left.

Hong Chen wiped his sweat and went back into the house to continue lighting the fire and cooking.

Soon, the food was served and just as they were about to eat, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed in the yard.

"Brother!" Wukong's slightly sharp voice came.

Hong Chen was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and was immediately overjoyed: "Brother Monkey! You're out!"

Sun Wukong also had a happy smile on his face, but when he saw Hong Chen clearly, he blinked suddenly, and looked at him from head to toe, and from toe to head. After looking at him like this, he suddenly grinned, uttered an anxious monkey squeak, and flashed in front of Hong Chen.

"Who is it?!" He grabbed Hong Chen's wrist, and golden light seemed to burst out of his eyes.

Without waiting for Hong Chen to speak, he continued, "Could it be that the Jade Emperor or Tathagata bullied you and broke your cultivation? Don't be afraid, brother. Tell me quickly. Even if I have to be pressed under the mountain for another 500 years, I will seek justice for you!"

Hearing this, Hong Chen was naturally grateful and hurried to explain.

After Wukong heard this, he looked much more relaxed. "Alas, when I was pressed under the mountain, my cultivation was also imprisoned. It was really uncomfortable. I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to become a mortal. Such a mentality really makes me admire you."

"Well, if I could break through as smoothly as Monkey King, why would I need to transform into a mortal? Let's not talk about this. You are out of trouble now, which is a happy thing. How about we get drunk together?"

"Okay! Great!"

Sun Wukong jumped up and down happily and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going back to Huaguo Mountain to get some wine."

Then he was seen riding on the somersault cloud and leaving quickly, and soon he came back with wine.

The two of them drank and talked happily.

"The Bodhisattva asked me to send the little monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. This is really annoying. I carried the little monk on my back and flew to the West, but I couldn't even see the sacred mountain. I had to walk step by step. The little monk didn't have any magical powers at all. I don't know how many years it will take!"

"Don't worry, don't rush. As the mortals say: Even if the road is long, if you keep walking you will reach your destination. As long as you set out, you will reach your destination one day."

"That makes a lot of sense, and sounds much better than what the little monk said. By the way, if we go a little further, we will reach Xuanling Mountain. The little monk also said he wanted to pay his respects to you."

"Haha, let him worship me, I can bear it!"

After a long time, Hong Chen was drunk.

Sun Wukong moved him to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and then flew away on a cloud.

In his sleep, Hong Chen's ears suddenly moved.

"Someone's talking?" he muttered, opening his eyes.

He tilted his head and didn't catch any sound, so he closed his eyes again, thinking that he was just hallucinating.

The next moment, he suddenly screamed because his body lying on the bed suddenly began to fall.

The endless feeling of falling quickly reminded him of a pair of jade feet...

After a long time, when Hong Chen was about to worship loudly, he heard the cry of a baby as soon as he opened his mouth.

He couldn't help but be shocked, but then his whole head suddenly became confused and chaotic. After a few breaths, he forgot all his previous memories and turned into a crying baby after being born.

Deep in the underworld, Hong Chen’s true body was sitting cross-legged under the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk. The center of this treasure reflected everything he was experiencing.

From infancy to adolescence, from youth to middle age, from old age to death, and from death to rebirth...

Time seems to be rushing forward like crazy, and a few breaths are a lifetime.

In just a short while, he had lived several lives, and the same thing was that the painful struggle seemed to increase with each life.

At the same time, the Hongchen Sword, which was hung at home, escaped into the underworld and returned to its true spirit. The golden nature that was only a hair's breadth away flickered in countless reincarnations. Whenever Hong Chen fell into a struggle, a blood-red thread would fill the Hongchen Sword, and the sword spirit would immediately emit a loud sword chant. Unfortunately, it was always unable to wake Hong Chen from the reincarnation.

Suddenly.

A bare hand stretched out and rushed towards Hong Chen.

Immediately, a jade foot kicked out to stop it in time.

"If you don't want him to participate in the Journey to the West, just say so. Why make it so difficult?"

"Have I made it difficult for him? He is just a mortal. He still has great luck. Even if he doesn't become an emperor or a prince in the future, at least he will live a healthy and wealthy life. How can this be considered a difficult situation?"

"Haha, don't lie in front of a woman. You can only deceive the kid with these words, but how can you hide it from me? You taught him the method of breaking through the Golden Immortal, but you let him be a mortal, and let him be a mortal with great luck, this is misleading! The immortality of the golden nature needs to be obtained through tempering. How can it be tempered if it goes smoothly?"

"Haha, it's not your turn to say how I act. Hardships and trials can certainly produce results, but who can say that immortality can't be born in good times? You are a true saint after all, how can you be so narrow-minded and ignorant?"

"I am narrow-minded and ignorant?!"

Empress Pingxin clenched her fists, wrinkled her nose, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

Nuwa sat still, smiling, looking at Pingxin as if admiring her. She said, "Then again, he is my disciple. How do I teach him? What's your business? Why are you so anxious?"

This point obviously touched upon Empress Pingxin's weakness, leaving her with no way to refute and she could only grit her teeth.

But Nuwa was still unwilling to let her go. She suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Oh, you are not attracted to my little disciple, so you always support him and even dare to argue with me. Since we have known each other for many years, today you call me Master and I will agree to your matter. How about it?"

Empress Pingxin was stunned for a moment, then she punched hard and shouted, "As a saint, how can you talk nonsense!!"

This punch attracted the light of the six paths of reincarnation to attach to the fist. The light of reincarnation bloomed, and the pure and rich aura of the six paths shook the Snail Palace. At the same time, it stirred up the calm chaotic aura outside the palace, making it roll and boil like a tsunami.

Nuwa flipped her hand and pressed down, and the extremely pure light of creation burst out. After colliding with the light of reincarnation, in the vast chaotic land, the chaotic energy everywhere was torn apart and annihilated in an instant.

"Do you really want to fight with me?" Nuwa asked.

Pingxin: "Don't you want me to move?"

"You are so funny."

"I'm really not easy to joke with! Because I will never joke about the lives of my brothers and sisters!"

"They're dead."

“But they’re still alive!”

“That’s not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.”

"So what? At least I will never allow anyone to destroy my hope! Not even Hongjun!"

"That's a rash statement."

"Reckless?" Ping Xin snorted, his tone cold: "For the sentient beings of the prehistoric world, I can sacrifice my body. Why should I fear death for my brothers and sisters? If I fight to the death, the prehistoric world will have no chance to evolve into the three realms. Zhen Yuanzi doesn't have that ability!"

Nuwa held her forehead and said, "Okay, okay, I said something wrong, can you calm down?"

Hearing this, Pingxin stopped and Nuwa followed closely behind.

The two women looked at each other for a long time without speaking.

"What you are doing will not benefit the ancient world or the witch clan," Nuwa said softly.

"I know what I want and what the consequences will be."

"Wouldn't it be nice to just let everything pass peacefully and smoothly? Your brothers and sisters will still come back."

"That's hard to say. They were able to scheme against the Wu Clan back then, so how can they guarantee that they won't do that again in the future?" Ping Xin was no longer angry, but said calmly, "After suppressing many of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I already knew a truth: never place your hopes on others, and don't trust anyone easily. Oh, this is a truth that all mortals understand, but unfortunately, I understood it too late."

Nuwa shook her head and said no more.

She changed the subject and said, "The hardships will make him more unscrupulous. When he reaches the prehistoric time, he may not be willing to help you. After all, helping you at that time is equivalent to actively creating enemies for himself."

He smiled calmly: "I'm not afraid. If he doesn't want to, I will keep raising the stakes. There will always be a time when he will be tempted."

Nuwa's eyes turned and her gaze fell on Pingxin again.

Pingxin's eyelids jumped, and he said hurriedly: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Nuwa laughed sweetly.

Ping Xin rolled her eyes at her and said, "In short, reincarnation is the best and fastest way. I am training you as a disciple. If you interfere again, I will be rude."

“Okay, I won’t do anything.” Nuwa agreed, “But if you help him like this, after he breaks through, if he causes trouble during the catastrophe, the consequences will be on you.”

"Oh, it's just a matter of cause and effect. If Jie Yin and Zhunti dare to come, I will first crush Di Zang to death, and then use Di Zang's thigh bone to beat them all over the head!"

"That's good. Then I will turn a blind eye and let you do what you want. How about that?"

"good!"
