Journey to the West world, Aparagodaniya Continent, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.
"Why is the abode deserted?"
After Sun Wukong left the Wanjie Lou, he flew straight to the Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars. When he tiptoed to the place where he used to learn martial arts, his eyes were filled with deep shock and a trace of disbelief.
He had only left this place for about a thousand years, but the Immortal Family Holy Land that was originally filled with surging clouds and mist was actually in ruins, as if it had experienced endless years.
"Where is Master?"
Sun Wukong's eyes were blurry as he scanned his surroundings. He had been suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years, and he had also stayed in the Heavenly Court for a period of time. One day in the Heavens was one year on the Earth, which added up to about a thousand years.
Patriarch Subhuti had long since transcended life and death, sharing the same lifespan as the heavens and earth. In Patriarch Subhuti's eyes, a thousand years was but an instant.
In such a short period of time, why was the Cave of Crescent Three Stars in such a dilapidated state?
"Goku?"
In the void, Patriarch Subhuti, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes the moment Sun Wukong appeared on the Mountain of Mind and Heart. Obviously, he had noticed Sun Wukong's arrival.
"Shouldn't he be escorting Golden Cicada to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"
Patriarch Subhuti had a puzzled look on his face. Calculating, today should be the day that Sun Wukong would be freed. "Could it be that this monkey has been wronged and wants to tell me about it?"
He knew that Sun Wukong was wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Court. He also knew that Sun Wukong was suppressed by the Tathagata Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain.
When he chased Sun Wu Kong away that day, he'd already told Sun Wu Kong that he wasn't allowed to return to Fangcun Mountain, and he wasn't even allowed to mention Sun Wu Kong's name. Otherwise, Sun Wu Kong would crush Sun Wu Kong's bones and scatter his ashes before sending him to the Nine Underworlds.
This was just to scare Sun Wukong so that Sun Wukong wouldn't rely on him.
He had long seen that Sun Wukong was a lawless person. After he obtained supernatural powers, he did things even more casually. If he still helped at any time, who in the Three Realms could restrain him?
Moreover, if Sun Wukong did not experience some twists and turns, it would be difficult for him to change his lawless character. Sooner or later, he would be entangled by karma and die a violent death.
However, when Patriarch Subhuti saw the anxious expression on Sun Wukong's face due to the destruction of the Tristar Crescent Cave, a trace of gratification appeared in his eyes.
Although Sun Wu Kong was naughty and mischievous, he still respected his master and was worried about his safety.
"It shouldn't be, right?"
Sun Wukong stroked the dilapidated palaces in the Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars as he spoke softly. Suddenly, a beam of light flashed across his eyes.
The Cave of Three Stars and Crescent Tristar was a blessed land of immortals. Every single pavilion and palace was condensed by Patriarch Subhuti using a great amount of magic power. How could it be so dilapidated after a mere thousand years?
"Master, your disciple knows that you are still here. These are some delicacies that I discovered recently. I brought some for you to try."
Goku scratched his head and said softly with a smile on his face.
He planned to bring these delicacies to the monkeys of Mount Huaguo.
"You monkey head …"
Patriarch Subhuti shook his head. Within the Three Realms, were there any delicacies that he had not tasted? Peaches of Immortality, Ginseng Fruits, these spirit fruits that were born from the spirit roots of heaven and earth, he had tasted them before.
Sun Wukong might be able to take out some precious spirit fruits of the world, but he had probably already eaten them.
Furthermore, with his current cultivation level, there was not much difference between any delicacies in the world in his mouth.
"These are roasted whole pig, drumsticks, noodles …"
Just when Patriarch Subhuti was about to close his eyes and continue his secluded cultivation, he heard Goku muttering the names of the delicacies. Patriarch Subhuti was a little surprised. Aren't these the food of the mortal world?
He had never thought that Goku would take out the food of the mortal world for him to taste.
"Master, you can try it when you have time. This is a little gift from your disciple."
After saying that, Goku turned around and left.
"Is he gone?"
Patriarch Subhuti opened his eyes and felt a little disappointed. His eyes inadvertently glanced at the food left by Goku, and he suddenly stood up.
"Illusion?"
With a single step, Patriarch Subhuti walked out from the void, his eyes fixed on the food left behind by Sun Wukong.
A humming wild boar was gnawing on the soil. However, the back of this wild boar was cooked and emitted a tempting fragrance.
The drumsticks and noodles were grown on two different kinds of trees, emitting a mellow fragrance.
"Is this food real?"
Patriarch Subhuti found that the food itself was no different from the food of the mortal world.
"This is against the law of heaven and earth. It shouldn't exist."
Patriarch Subhuti's face was serious. He bent his right hand and flicked his fingers. The seriousness on his face became more and more serious.
He couldn't figure out where the food came from.
"This … This … This …"
Patriarch Subhuti felt like his heart was being crawled by 100,000 ants. The scene in front of him was even more shocking than when he heard that Buddha gave the position of Buddha to Goku.
This was because the Gautama Buddha had given the position of Buddha to Sun Wukong. Although this sounded impossible, it was something that could happen.
However, it was impossible for a roasted pig to live normally without the intervention of magic power.
Buzz ~
Hundreds of miles away, the void trembled slightly. Goku felt that the surrounding space seemed to be stagnant, and he couldn't move at all. Goku wasn't nervous at all. Instead, he showed a faint smile.
His plan was very successful.
"Master."
Goku felt that the world had turned upside down. The next moment, he appeared in front of a figure. He couldn't help but kneel down, and his voice was a little choked.
"Get up."
Patriarch Subhuti turned his eyes from the roasted pig to Goku. He waved his sleeves and helped Goku up.
"Master, this is food. Are you satisfied?"
Goku smiled, and there was a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"You're asking for a beating."
Patriarch Subhuti was about to hit Goku, but Goku also tactfully avoided it.
"Master, this time I'm asking for your help."
Goku walked to Patriarch Subhuti and said in a low voice.
"Asking for my help?"
Patriarch Subhuti was slightly stunned. Goku didn't ask him for help when he was beaten so badly by Buddha. Now he had escaped from the Five Finger Mountain. Was there anything that could make him so helpless?
"What's the matter?"
Patriarch Subhuti wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Goku was suppressed by Buddha, he didn't help him. Now that his disciple took the initiative to ask him for help, he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Master, will others hear what we're talking about?"
Sun Wukong looked around and asked doubtfully.
He was no longer the ignorant Monkey King of the past who thought that his abilities were unparalleled. He knew very well that many people in the world of Journey to the West could predict his every move.
"Don't worry. Only you can enter Fangcun Mountain."
Patriarch Subhuti said calmly.
"Hmph, otherwise, I wouldn't have shown up if you came here."
Patriarch Subhuti couldn't help but snort coldly. Only then did he remember what he said to Goku previously. Goku must not reveal his name to others. Now that Goku actually ran back to Fangcun Mountain, it was obvious that he didn't take his words seriously.
"Master, I know my mistake. I was planning to bring you into a strange world."
Goku's mind stirred, and he transferred a spot for Wanjie Lou's customer to Patriarch Subhuti.
His customer rank had also reached the level of a four-star member, so he had a slot to recommend other customers. The moment he transferred this slot to Patriarch Subhuti, a cold mechanical voice rang in Patriarch Subhuti's ears.
"Patriarch Subhuti, you've received a recommendation spot for Wanjie Lou from a four-star customer, Goku. Are you willing to become a customer of Wanjie Lou?"
