Sun Wukong was a monkey, but he was somewhat similar to a human. No wonder he was called a monkey spirit. Among the monkeys, he was indeed worthy of the title of Monkey King.
Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Mu Qingxiao smiled. This monkey was very friendly, just like in the original novel.
The surroundings of the Five Fingers Mountain could be said to be a world of its own. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a paradise. With Sun Wukong around, just the boundless baleful aura made it so that not many mountain spirits dared to barge in.
Around the entire valley, peach trees were sparsely planted. Some were in full bloom, and some were already laden with fruits. The bright red fruits were incomparably alluring.
The peach trees in the valley were full of vitality. With the dharma nourishing the earth, there would be no lack of fruits throughout the year. It was just that Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain and could only watch helplessly. Other than sending the earth to him, he had no other choice.
Only being able to watch but not eat was simply another type of torture for the monkey who loved peaches.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingxiao faintly felt that Tathagata might have done this on purpose.
After all, no matter how unruly Sun Wukong was, after being suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain for 500 years and being tortured, he would probably admit defeat. All of this could be seen from the original novel.
Without triggering the system notification, Mu Qingxiao felt helpless.
Hearing Sun Wukong's voice from the cave, he waved his sleeves. The scattered bright red fruits on the peach trees all flew over and landed in the cave.
"No wonder you weren't frightened by me. So you are a little immortal. Interesting, interesting."
Sun Wukong stretched out a furry arm, grabbed a peach, and began to chew on it. The peach juice overflowed, and he ate it very happily.
Sun Wukong was a golden immortal and naturally wouldn't starve. Liking to eat peaches was also a monkey's nature.
In just a few minutes, tens of peaches were all eaten by him, leaving peach pits all over the ground. After burping, he raised his head in satisfaction. His Fiery Golden Eyes pierced through the cave and looked at Mu Qingxiao outside.
"Brat, why did you come to the Five Fingers Mountain?"
"I heard that the Great Sage Equal to Heavens, Sun Wukong, was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain. I was a little curious, so I came here to take a look. Today, I've witnessed the glory of the Monkey King. This trip wasn't made in vain."
Originally, Mu Qingxiao had only come to the Five Fingers Mountain to see if she could trigger a mission. Now, she was a little disappointed. However, due to the memories of her childhood, she was in a good mood to see the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal in person. At the same time, she also felt a little emotional.
It was true that Sun Wukong was the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, but he was only a puny Golden Immortal.
Hearing the title of Monkey King, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up. Clearly, he was very satisfied with this title. He was also very satisfied with Mu Qingxiao.
"Haha … I didn't expect that after a few hundred years, I, Old Sun, would still be so famous. Beating up the Jade Emperor back then was worth it. It's just that I don't know when I'll be able to leave this damn Five Fingers Mountain!"
As he spoke, Sun Wukong sized up Mu Qingxiao. He rolled his eyes and pointed at the top of his head with his hairy finger. "Boy, can you see the seal on the top of the Five Fingers Mountain?"
"Yes."
"That's easy. See if you can remove this talisman seal. If you can remove this talisman seal and save me, I, Old Sun, will give you a treasure that definitely won't disappoint you. How about it?"
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao was a little curious. Judging from Sun Wukong's tone, it seemed that he was already tired of being suppressed. As for the treasure, he did not think that Sun Wukong, who was a Golden Immortal, would give him anything good.
Glancing at the seal on the Five Fingers Mountain, Mu Qingxiao pondered for a moment. Anyway, the Journey to the West was a game between Buddhism and Taoism. Taishang Laojun was his grandmaster, so it was not a bad choice to give Buddhism some trouble.
"Great Sage Sun, you are suppressed here by the Mystical Mountain's Tathagata Buddha. If I remove the seal, I will offend the Buddha. He is a Daluo Golden Immortal. It's not worth it at all."
Looking at Sun Wukong in the cave, Mu Qingxiao began to extort him.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong's pupils shrank slightly. He looked at Mu Qingxiao seriously. He did not expect the latter to know so much. It seemed that he was not an ordinary immortal.
Back then, he was arrogant and unruly. He was indeed a lone hero. Unfortunately, he was short-sighted. Otherwise, he would not have done such a stupid thing as causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
One had to know that there were countless experts in the world. He was just a Golden Immortal who was slightly stronger than ordinary immortals. After being suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Tathagata Buddha for a hundred years, he had thought through many things in the past hundred years, and his temper was not as impetuous as before.
He also knew that some things could not be solved by his Jingu Bang.
"How about this? Even if you can't remove the seal on the Five Fingers Mountain, I, Old Sun, will still give you the treasure. How about it?"
Mu Qingxiao smiled and said, "If I can't remove the seal and attract the attention of the hidden people, I will probably lose my life here, let alone the treasure."
"Kid, you are more cunning than I am. I, Old Sun, will give you the treasure first."
As he spoke, Sun Wukong grinned. He opened his mouth and spat out a crystal clear pearl that emitted a deep blue light.
The pearl fell to the ground. It was covered with his saliva and was immediately stained with dust. Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched. She did not want to take it at first, but after seeing the appearance of the pearl, her eyes shrank slightly.
"This is …"
With a wave of her sleeve, the dust and saliva on the pearl dispersed. Looking at the deep blue pearl in her hand, Mu Qingxiao took out an identical pearl from the space in her Spiritual Sea. It was exactly the same.
"Hey, kid, why do you have this too?"
Suddenly, Sun Wukong's surprised voice came from the cave.
Putting the two pearls back into her Spiritual Sea, Mu Qingxiao was full of curiosity. She asked, "Great Sage Sun, do you know what this pearl is? Where did it come from?"
"Hehe, it seems that you don't know either. Actually, I don't know much either."
Then, Sun Wukong said, "This is a treasure that I stole when I went to the East Sea Dragon Palace when the old Dragon King was not paying attention. I couldn't figure out what was so mysterious about it, so I kept it with me. However, this pearl is very strange. When I was thrown into Old Lord Laojun's alchemy furnace, this pearl did not melt. Even the Jingu Bang could not leave a trace on it. It is definitely not an ordinary item."
Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Mu Qingxiao was slightly stunned. This pearl was indeed mysterious, and it was somewhat useful to him.
"In that case, I will try and see if I can remove this seal. If I can't, I will leave directly. Whether I can come out depends on your luck."
"Well said, well said."
Looking at Mu Qingxiao, Sun Wukong was quite satisfied.
After all, the latter kept her promise. As for whether he could remove the seal, it depended on his ability and his own luck.
