Chapter 422

"Monkey, monkey, big brother monkey! I knew it, I knew it, big brother, you're not dead!" Zhu Bajie instantly showed an excited expression, threw the rake in his hand to the ground, and rushed toward the monkey.

Then he hugged the monkey's thigh, rubbing his pig face continuously against the monkey's thigh.

"You filthy thing, get away, Old Sun I hate dirt, saliva's even dripped onto Old Sun's leg hair." Sun Wukong spoke with a face of disgust, but his eyes were full of joy, with no intention of pushing Bajie away.

"Big brother monkey! Big brother monkey! I knew something was off, you've been busy deceiving me, damn it, this isn't my big brother's body.

You bastard, how hateful, clearly a monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain, yet you deceived me into thinking you're my big brother, do you really think I can't tell who my big brother is?" Zhu Bajie suddenly realized, jumped back far away, then picked up his rake again.

I know my big brother very well, my big brother's body is that of a stone monkey, and he wields a golden hooped rod. He also wears a golden chainmail armor!

Even when not wearing the golden chainmail, he turns into a tiger-skin skirt; whenever he wears a set of black battle armor, it looks mismatched and odd.

This monkey's iron rod, though resembling the golden hooped rod, is vastly inferior compared to the real golden hooped rod.

This is just a plain iron rod; since my big brother became famous, even other monkey demons on Flower Fruit Mountain have forged such iron rods to use.

"I, Old Sun, have just been resurrected, it's a rebirth body, so you don't recognize me, but you idiot, even if Old Sun has been reborn, could you truly not recognize me?" Sun Wukong stuck the iron rod into the ground, gazing at Zhu Bajie with an inexplicable look.

"You you you really are big brother, then then then Old Pig asks you, when was our last meeting, tell me, if you can't say, you're an impostor, you dare impersonate my big brother, I'll kill you." Zhu Bajie shouted.

"Back when we became Buddhas together, we drank, I asked you many questions, how many demons you killed, how many you released, and we talked about the seven spider spirits of the Pan Si Cave.

Afterwards, Old Sun got you drunk, you passed out, then Old Sun went to do that earth-shattering great deed, and then died." Sun Wukong smiled and spoke.

Back when I got drunk, I told Bajie many heartfelt words, but the main purpose was to get Bajie drunk, because at the start of the pilgrimage team, Bajie and I didn't get along and often spoke ill of each other.

But after living together for over a decade, he actually became closest to Bajie, the most intimate of brothers, he knew that if he ever rebelled against heaven again, Bajie would follow no matter what.

So Sun Wukong forcefully made Bajie drink, got this old pig drunk, he was drunk in heaven for several days and nights, until I died, this dullard couldn't even wake up.

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie finally confirmed the person before him was truly his big brother.

"Alright, you Marshal of the Heavenly Steeds, I knew you wouldn't die so easily, you've finally returned, shame there were still so many people of destiny searching for your six roots everywhere, ending up in a life-or-death situation. You really did ruin your monkey children and grandchildren." Zhu Bajie spoke.

"I really did ruin my monkey children and grandchildren, but sometimes I had no choice, and back then I was indeed dead, only a remnant soul remained, originally I had no chance to come back to life.

But due to some accidents, Old Sun came back to life, since I've been reborn, I must take up my responsibility." Sun Wukong let out a long sigh and said.

This matter is also his fortune; if it weren't for encountering the Great God Wutian, this ancestral dragon, he wouldn't have come back to life.

"So that's it, Big Brother Monkey, I'm also here to help you gather the root systems, these years I, Piggy, have figured it out, I won't be the Pure Altar Envoy anymore, Big Brother Monkey, wherever you go, I'll go." Zhu Bajie spoke.

Several hundred years have passed, why is he only now starting to gather Sun Wukong's root energy? Because he's figured it out.

Back when he was Marshal Tianpeng in heaven, he feared this and that, ended up exposing an affair, was demoted to the mortal realm.

At Gao Lao Zhuang it was the same, at Pan Si Lin it was still the same, when big brother died, I was also drunk as a lord, missed this.

Several hundred years have passed, thinking my life has been a failure, so no matter what, he's decided to give it his all, even if he dies, he doesn't care.

"Hahaha! Good good good good, you idiot, I knew on the Journey to the West, you alone are the wise fool, others are all idiots, including me.

If so, then from now on follow Big Brother Monkey, to hell with Buddhism, to hell with Ling Mountain, to hell with the Heavenly Court." Sun Wukong laughed loudly and said.

Before I was alone, but now I have friends, especially an ancestral dragon-level figure.

"Big Brother Monkey, I see you now only have three root artifacts on you, we'll retrieve the other three, the last one is at Flower Fruit Mountain.

Once all six root artifacts are retrieved, your strength will recover, then the vast world, you can go wherever." Zhu Bajie spoke.

After helping Big Brother Monkey retrieve his root energy, he and Big Brother Monkey will find a place to hide, never again suffer the airs of Ling Mountain and Buddhism.

"Hahaha! Bajie, your vision is still too narrow, too petty, Old Sun this time resurrected, I don't plan to just hide in the mountains, I want to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace again." Sun Wukong shouldered the iron rod, speaking with high spirits.

"You plague-ridden monkey, are you not gone mad? Hardly resurrected, let's just honestly hide, as long as we don't cause trouble.

Ling Mountain and the Heavenly Court won't bother us, but if you stir up trouble again, we'll be surrounded and suppressed, you barely came back to life, do you really want to die again?" Zhu Bajie spoke anxiously.

How did this dead monkey still think of revenge at this point? Still thinking of rebelling against heaven? If this rebellion succeeds, back then your demon race's seven great sages would have succeeded, back then your havoc in heaven would have succeeded.

"Bajie, this time is different, this time we have a high person assisting, we will surely succeed." Sun Wukong said, pointing to the side where Luode stood.

"This person, this high person, I haven't yet asked for advice! May I inquire about your exalted surname and great name?"

Zhu Bajie looked at Luode, tidied his clothes, held his rake in hand, and bowed his fists toward Luode, asking.

The monkey's vision is indeed high, ordinary people can't make the monkey submit, this person can make the monkey submit, showing his strength is absolutely not ordinary!

Even possibly the Buddha, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, or a Taishang-level figure, I, such a person, why hasn't he heard of me?

"Bajie, listen well, this person is the Great God Wutian, he is the ancestral dragon, just now although you were locked in that essence creature, you should also be able to sense that surging dragon energy?" Sun Wukong asked.

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie looked at Luode in great surprise, he's not like the monkey, raised in the wilds, besides the Heavenly Court and Ling Mountain's obvious figures, other masters he doesn't know, but Zhu Bajie does know some things.

This person called Wu Tian, the Great God, I've never heard of him, not even heard of him before, and he's even the ancestral dragon! Isn't the ancestral dragon already dead?

In ancient times, the ancestral dragon and ancestral phoenix died due to some matters, otherwise the current Four Seas Dragon Clan wouldn't have fallen to this state, bullied by this monkey of yours.

However, on the surface, Zhu Bajie is still extremely respectful toward Luode, smiling apologetically, no matter what the person was before, but the monkey's eyesight is still there.

He says he's the ancestral dragon, so he must be the ancestral dragon, a great divine ability user, a figure ranked with the Jade Emperor and Buddha, having such a figure protecting us is indeed much safer, and rebelling against heaven might not be impossible.

That old Jade Emperor is not the first heavenly emperor.

"Wasn't your face not like this pig head before? Come here, I'll teach you to change back to your original form." Luode spoke.

In Journey to the West, Marshal Tianpeng before was certainly a handsome, imposing man, otherwise he couldn't have sat in the position of Marshal Tianpeng, commanding the hundred thousand water troops of the Heavenly River, and however you say it, it's also a mid-to-high level official post.

Moreover, turning Bajie back to his original appearance, I can also take the opportunity to display the divine ability of the Xiao Zhouyu, gaining the Thirty-Six Changes of Tian Gang from him." Hahaha! Excellent, excellent, you idiot, fortune has come to you, hurry up and come forward.

The Great God Wutian can change you back to your original appearance, you this Si before didn't you also say? When you were in heaven before, you were indeed a handsome man!" Sun Wukong immediately pushed Bajie forward, letting him go forward before.

Luode made all the citizens of the Sari Kingdom return to human form, this kind of divine power certainly can make Bajie also return to his original appearance.

Hearing this, Bajie's mind went completely blank, even a bit dull as he came before Luode, himself, can I really return to my original appearance? Return to that handsome appearance from my past life.

Luode then had no nonsense, came before Bajie, then placed one finger on his brow, the Xiao Zhouyu began to rotate, divine power surged, enveloping Bajie's body, even using a thread of time divine power.

Bajie's situation is different from the citizens of the Sari Kingdom turned into rat demons, he belongs to rebirth reincarnation, this current appearance is actually his true form, wanting to change, only possible through time-type laws.

A burst of gray-white light enveloped Bajie's pig demon body, after a moment the light faded, a youth over eight feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a handsome face appeared before everyone.

Luode also nodded in satisfaction, he successfully obtained the complete Thirty-Six Changes of Tian Gang from Bajie's mind, even also a method called the Supreme Dao Classic, not inferior to Sun Wukong's Great Brand True Immortal Classic.

This Supreme Dao Classic should be the method of the Supreme Old Lord, indeed Bajie has a relation with the Supreme Old Lord, even if not an entry disciple, he is still a nominal one.

"You idiot really were born handsome, not bad not bad." Sun Wukong smiled, plucked a monkey hair, transformed it into a bronze mirror, and handed it to Bajie.

Zhu Bajie's body was trembling at this moment, his hands were no longer the pig's hooves from before, but had returned to human hands, trembling as he took the bronze mirror and saw in it the appearance from several hundred years ago, the appearance of Marshal Tianpeng.

"I've changed back, Monkey! I've changed back, hahaha! Marshal Tianpeng is back, Marshal Tianpeng is back!" After looking at the bronze mirror, Zhu Bajie excitedly threw it to the ground, looked up to the sky and let out a long cry, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

How many years have passed, who can understand Zhu Bajie's suffering? How many years have passed, who can understand? From the extraordinarily handsome Marshal Tianpeng turning into an ugly pig demon, mocked by his heavenly colleagues, ridiculed by the white-clad Chang'e fairy he once liked, who can understand his suffering?

Finally, finally returned to his original appearance, finally changed back, Zhu Bajie could clearly feel that this was not some transformation technique, but a complete reversal of Britain, a complete reversal of reincarnation, turning himself back into his former self.

Various great magical powers. According to his knowledge, only the Tathagata Buddha of the Western Heaven, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace, and the Taishang Laojun above the Thirty-Three Heavens, a few great beings, could achieve this.

Indeed, fortune has come! At the moment when everyone was rejoicing, a figure with a long sword on his back, over three zhang tall, a strange dragon person appeared before Luode, and upon seeing Luode, immediately planted the long sword into the ground and then knelt on one knee.

"The Blue-Backed Dragon pays respects to the Ancestral Dragon, may the Ancestral Dragon be eternally safe."

"You, you are the son of the Jinghe Dragon King? How many brothers do you have? I, Old Sun, have heard of that evil creature from back then, which caused me no little trouble." Sun Wukong looked at the dragon son before him and spoke.

As the saying goes, the dragon begets nine sons, each different.

The Jinghe Dragon King was merely a river dragon, and the dragon descendants he begot were not of the purest dragon form, and could only maintain a half-dragon state at best.

"The Great God Wutian, they are now called the Four Rivers Dragon Gods, my old pig remembers, the four brothers have all hidden themselves away, and the heavenly court has always been hunting them." Zhu Bajie carried his rake on his back and spoke.

The sons of this Jinghe Dragon King are also pitiable, but if they could follow the Ancestral Dragon, it would not be a bad thing, for the sons of the Jinghe Dragon King are quite strong.

"Go find all your brothers and bring them here, from now on serve together under my command." Luode smiled and spoke.

With the Kangjin Dragon, taking in a few more dragon gods is no problem, even the dragons of the Four Seas can be taken in together.

"Thank you, Ancestral Dragon, for taking me in. I have three brothers, the eldest brother, the Little Yellow Dragon, whose whereabouts are unknown.

The other two brothers, one is in Black Wind Mountain, the other in Yellow Wind Ridge, Little Dragon will now set out to find them all and bring them back." The Blue-Backed Dragon nodded and spoke.

"En! This is one of my scales, take it and keep it, it bears my dragon power on it. First go find your two younger brothers, find them and then bring them to Pansi Cave, our next stop will be there, you can meet us there." Luode nodded and spoke.

At the same time, he tore off a small piece of scale from his body, turned it into a palm-sized, blue scale, and gave it to the Blue-Backed Dragon.

After all, it is a scale from his own body, so it possesses a supreme dragon aura.

Just holding it in his hand, the Blue-Backed Dragon felt a surge of dragon power—this is indeed a treasure! Given the Ancestral Dragon's body, this scale has been shrunk; if restored to its original form, it would be about the size of several people. Whether for forging weapons or making armor, this is top-grade material, but the Blue-Backed Dragon dare not use the Ancestral Dragon's scale in this way, for to him it is a token.

"Ancestral Dragon, rest assured, Little Dragon will surely find my two brothers and then together seek the eldest brother, believing that upon hearing the news of the Ancestral Dragon's mishap, the eldest brother will certainly come seeking refuge." The Blue-Backed Dragon spoke.

The fortune-telling Daoist Yuan Shoucheng once said that their four brothers would ultimately be unable to escape death, destined to die at the hands of the Heaven's Chosen One, but now it seems this old Daoist was indeed mistaken.

Luode nodded and let the Blue-Backed Dragon leave.

"Great God Wutian, next Old Sun will go to that Little Thunder Sound Temple to settle the grudge with Huangmei." Sun Wukong came before Luode, clasped his hands and spoke.

The karma between him and the Old Buddha Huangmei, calculated from the time of Journey to the West, after attaining Buddhahood he was besieged by him, and also the matter of his six spiritual instruments, the nose-smelling love being used by him.

These matters, one by one, cannot just be let go like this, no matter what, they must be avenged! "Do you plan to go yourself?"

"Great God Wutian, this grudge, Old Sun will avenge it himself." Sun Wukong nodded and spoke.

"Brother Monkey! Others you don't need to bring, no problem, but you must bring me—I also have a grudge with Huangmei. Let us two brothers join forces and smash that old second to pieces." Zhu Bajie spoke.

Last time Maitreya Buddha's golden bell locked the eldest brother, this time it locked himself, so he also wants to go together with the eldest brother to face the Old Buddha Huangmei.

"If that is the case, then you may go! After killing Huangmei, come see me." Luode nodded and agreed to Sun Wukong's request.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's face lit up with joy, he clasped his hands before Luode, held his iron rod, turned and left with Zhu Bajie.

Standing beside Luode, the Kangjin Dragon opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back, she wanted to go with Sun Wukong, but didn't know how to speak.

After Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie left, Luode came before a Buddha statue, this is a statue a few chi tall, looking like a three- or four-year-old chubby doll, smiling face, bare belly.

"You've been eavesdropping here for so long, won't you come out and see me?" Luode spoke.

After hearing Luode's words, the small Buddha statue sitting before him suddenly shattered, and from within walked out a chubby doll wearing a gray monk's robe.

"Amitabha, donor, where have you come from? This poor monk has never heard of you before." Maitreya Buddha looked at the Ancestral Dragon before him and asked.

Truly strange and marvelous, when did a person with such great magical power appear in the Three Realms? Why have I never heard of him before?

One possessing such power should not be a nobody! (End of chapter)
