“Your mother!”
Listening to the question from the monkey behind him, Sun Wukong almost couldn’t help but want to slap him to death.
“Where did this weirdo come from?
Damn it!”
Sun Wukong looked at the monkeys with a pained expression, shook his head, and said, “Don’t ask me.
I just came into existence; I don’t know anything.”
The monkeys started chattering for a long time, but Sun Wukong didn’t bother to respond to them.
Seeing that Sun Wukong didn’t reply for a long time, the monkeys scratched their heads in confusion, then stopped asking and ran off to play.
After it quieted down, Sun Wukong sat down on a rock by the river.
Flower-Fruit Mountain?
Handsome Monkey King?
Great Sage the Equal of Heaven?
Sun Wukong thought about these things and began to ponder.
In journey to the west, it seemed that after the Monkey King encountered this monkey troop, an Old Monkey suggested going upstream to find the source of the water.
He also suggested that whoever jumped into the Water Curtain Cave would become the Great King.
Finally, the Monkey King jumped into the Water Curtain Cave and became the Handsome Monkey King.
…
“Oh!”
“This river water is so sweet!”
After thinking for a while, Sun Wukong suddenly exclaimed with an amazed look.
“What?!”
A group of monkeys looked bewildered when they heard Sun Wukong’s words.
“Weren’t you sitting there without drinking?”
“How do you know this water is sweet?”
“My goodness!”
Sun Wukong’s face stiffened, feeling a bit awkward.
“Can’t you just not pay attention to so many details?”
Thinking this, even though Sun Wukong hadn’t drunk, he calmly bluffed, “I drank it before.
This river water is very sweet and good.”
“It’s cool and sweet, like a divine elixir.”
“The little river water flows gurgling…”
While speaking, Sun Wukong kept staring at an Old Monkey, thinking to himself, “I’ve given such obvious hints, why aren’t you picking up the plot?”
The monkeys looked at Sun Wukong strangely.
They couldn’t understand; it was just river water, right?
Why was he talking about all this random stuff?
The Old Monkey resting not far away was even more confused.
“You’re talking about this river water, why do you keep looking at me?”
Could it be that the other party discovered he had secretly peed in the water?
Seeing that the Old Monkey didn’t respond, Sun Wukong walked over and asked, “Grandpa, aren’t you going to say something?”
“Say what?”
The Old Monkey was even more confused, not understanding what Sun Wukong meant.
Sun Wukong scratched his head, feeling a bit annoyed, and after a moment of hesitation, thought to himself, “Since you’re not taking your cue, don’t blame me for stealing the scene.”
Sun Wukong opened his mouth and suggested, “We don’t know where this water comes from.
Since we have nothing to do today, let’s follow the stream upstream and look for the source to play!”
A group of monkeys listened to Sun Wukong’s words, paused for a moment, and then began to clamor.
“Good!
Good!”
“We’re free, let’s go play!”
“Yes, it’s good to go play.”
Seeing that he had pushed the plot forward, Sun Wukong also smiled happily.
“Alright then, let’s go upstream together to find the source.”
With that, Sun Wukong took the lead, guiding a group of young monkeys upstream.
As he walked, Sun Wukong pondered that this wave of Handsome Monkey King could be achieved simply by following a routine.
After walking along the river for most of the day, everyone finally stopped.
At the very source of the river, they saw a cascading waterfall.
A white rainbow rises, a thousand-foot snowy wave flies.
The sea wind cannot break it, the river moon still illuminates it.
Cold air divides the green peaks, residual flow moistens the emerald slopes.
The murmuring waterfall is truly like a hanging curtain.
Seeing this, the Old Monkey clapped his hands and praised, “Good water!
Good water!
It turns out this place extends far down to the foot of the mountain, directly to the waves of the great sea.”
Sun Wukong waited for the Old Monkey to finish speaking, then looked at the Old Monkey.
Old Monkey:???
After waiting for a long time, Sun Wukong didn’t see the Old Monkey say anything else, and the other monkeys also looked on without any intention of speaking.
Sun Wukong once again began to steal the scene.
“Hey!
Look, there’s a cave behind that waterfall.
It must be a blessed land inside.”
“Whoever has the ability to drill in and find the source without harming himself, we will all make him our King.”
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, all the monkeys mentally estimated the height of the Water Curtain Cave from the ground, and then scratched their ears and cheeks, saying,
“It’s so high, who can jump up there?”
“Exactly, exactly, it’s too dangerous.”
“If anyone can really go up, we are willing to make him our King.”
Sun Wukong felt a pang of frustration.
He had certainly stolen the show, but none of these monkeys had any ambition or adventurous spirit.
This was awkward; he had to help them.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Wukong stepped back a few paces and said, “I’ll do it!
I’ll do it!”
Upon hearing Sun Wukong’s words, all the monkeys were shocked.
“You can jump up there?”
“Are you sure you can do it?
Don’t fall and die.”
“Right, it’s better not to take the risk.
We’ll still have to dig a pit to bury you…”
Sun Wukong ignored them and feigned a posture as if he was about to charge.
Although Sun Wukong hadn’t cultivated yet, the Supreme Primordial Body was an immortal body from birth.
Even without the ability to use magic, his strength was no joke.
For this Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong felt he could jump up with just one foot.
“It’s a piece of cake!”
After Sun Wukong had fully prepared, he arched his body and suddenly charged forward.
A group of monkeys watched Sun Wukong intently.
They didn’t understand this monkey, but they also felt that Sun Wukong couldn’t jump up.
After Sun Wukong charged a few steps, suddenly!
As he approached the Old Monkey, Sun Wukong feigned a stumble and bumped into the Old Monkey.
Upon seeing this, a group of monkeys covered their eyes, unable to bear watching.
“Running so fast, falling must hurt quite a bit!”
When the Old Monkey saw Sun Wukong crashing towards him, he panicked immensely.
“Don’t come over!”
“I’m doomed!” The Old Monkey felt despair when he realized he couldn’t dodge.
After all, at his age, being hit like that would pretty much finish him off.
Who would have thought that Sun Wukong wasn’t trying to hit him, but to help him?
Just as he collided with the Old Monkey, when Sun Wukong’s hands touched the Old Monkey, he used force to directly send the Old Monkey flying towards the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave.
After all, the system’s mission was to counter the routine.
It wasn’t hard for him to complete it; he just needed to find a tool person—oh, no, a tool monkey—to take over the position of Monkey King, and it would be fine.
It was flawless.
Bang!
Sun Wukong fell to the ground.
Whoosh!
The Old Monkey inexplicably flew up and directly slammed into the Water Curtain Cave.
The monkeys were instantly dumbfounded.
“???”
“What the heck?”
“What kind of move is this?”
“How did this happen?
What exactly is going on here?”
A group of monkeys gathered around, and the spiritual monkey who had given the banana earlier helped Sun Wukong up.
He also asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
“So frustrating!”
Sun Wukong feigned a distressed expression, looking at the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave as if he had painfully lost the position of Monkey King.
At the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave, the Old Monkey got up from the ground, looking bewildered.
“Who am I?”
“Where am I?”
“What… what’s going on?”
The Old Monkey was truly dumbfounded.
He had never dreamed that one day he would become the Monkey King of this group of monkeys… in such a way?
Not only the Old Monkey couldn’t figure it out, but the monkeys were also puzzled.
This collision, it actually managed to send him flying into such a high cave?
This was unscientific!
