The shark general looked back at Wukong and said in surprise,""Exalted Immortal, I called you a few times just now…Why didn't you answer?”
Wukong felt guilty. He was at a loss for words for a moment. After a moment, he said," Just now…I…was thinking about where to put these weapons after they were transported back, so…I…didn't hear what you said. Please forgive me."”
The Shark General felt even more puzzled after hearing Wukong's words, so he asked again,""Exalted Immortal's cave dwelling is the old residence of our Duke Long, it should be very spacious, why is Exalted Immortal worried about not having enough space to store these weapons?”
Wukong rolled his eyes and quickly said,"I said it wrong, I said it wrong!" I was just thinking about how to distribute these weapons. I was afraid that if I didn't distribute them evenly, the monkeys under me would have objections, so I was distracted and didn't hear the general's words.”
The shark general did not ask any more questions. He pointed to the front and said to Wukong,""Exalted Immortal, we're almost at the Flowerfruit Mountain. We're about to go out to sea and head up the mountain. Exalted Immortal, lead the way.”
Wukong responded and jumped out of the sea. He faced a stream that flowed from the mountain to the East Sea and led the school of fish upstream. After a while, they arrived at the pool under the Water Curtain Cave. The Shark General jumped up from the pool, and the school of fish behind him followed behind him, surfing against the rushing torrent. When they were halfway up the waterfall, the shark general stopped in the water and shouted,""Get in!" The school of fish behind him lined up in an orderly manner and jumped into the cave behind the water curtain.
Wukong, who was watching from the side, admired Shark General's skills in the water. He couldn't help but raise his thumb and shout at Shark General who was hovering in the waterfall,""General Shark, what a handsome divine power!"
The Shark General cupped his fists at Wukong and said," Exalted Immortal, I've already sent the weapon you wanted into the cave. We'll meet again in the future. Goodbye."”"General, please take your time. Since we've already arrived at the Flower-Fruit Mountain, please go to the Water Curtain Cave to rest for a while. I'll do my part as a host and pick some fruits and plums for you to taste before leaving."”
"Exalted Immortal, you're welcome. I still have to return to the sea to report.”The shark general had always been sharp and straightforward. After saying that, it disappeared into the water.
When Wukong entered the cave, he saw the monkeys fighting for swords and spears. They threw away one thing and picked up another. They laughed and laughed. It was very lively. He waved his hand and called the leaders of the eight caves to him. He ordered,"The few of you, distribute these weapons. Each of you who are good at picking up weapons will take one and the rest will be put aside for future use. The king went out of the cave for a while and returned in a moment.”The group of monkeys only cared about their swords and spears and did not pay attention to King Monkey Shi's words.
Wukong left the cave and jumped to the top of the mountain. He sat down under a pine tree with lush branches and leaves. He opened his mouth and spat out the Jingu Staff. Looking at the glittering Golden-Hooped Cudgel in his palm, which was as thin as an ox's hair, he willed it to become a dazzling cudgel that was as thick as a teacup and about ten feet long. He held the Jingu Staff in his arms and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. In a while, the Jingu Staff became thirty feet long; One moment, it became an inch shorter, and the next moment, it became as thick as a bucket. After a while, it became as thin as a finger…Wukong held the Jingu Staff happily and sighed to himself,""Jingu Staff…Jingu Staff! You're just making a weapon for me! If I hadn't taken you out of the East Sea today, you might never have been able to go out to sea again. If that's the case, what a pity!"
As soon as Wukong finished speaking, he suddenly heard a voice say to him,"You stole the Jingu Staff up the mountain. If the aquatic plants in the sea reveal their original form after twenty-four hours and the Water Tribe finds out that the Jingu Staff is missing, they'll find out that you're here. I'll see how you'll face the Dragon King again.”Wukong was shocked and immediately felt ashamed. With a thought, the Golden-Hooped Cudgel turned back into a needle in his palm. He jumped up and looked around blankly. Other than him, there was no other creature on the mountain top that could speak. He was dazed for a moment before sitting down again and muttering to himself,"The Old Dragon King of the Eastern Sea is a supreme dragon and has treated me well. The first time I went to the East Sea, the Dragon King helped me write an inscription for the Water Curtain Cave. This is the second time I went to the East Sea, and he gave me a weapon. How can I steal from the old Dragon King? This way…wouldn't I become an ungrateful thief? No! I'd better send the Jingu Staff back to Donghai…"
Thinking of this, he stood up and was about to send the Jingu Bang back to the East China Sea. Suddenly, he heard a voice say to him," There's no need to send it back. The Jingu Bang is useless in the East China Sea." In the underwater world of the Dragon Palace, it was just a useless decoration, but in your hands, it was a precious weapon.”
Wukong sat back down on the rock and turned the Jingu Staff into a pillar. He held it in his arms and rubbed it with his hands."I might as well leave the Jingu Staff with me for a few days. When the Dragon King finds out…and comes to me, I'll return it to him.‘Borrowing first and returning later is a matter of course. There's nothing to be embarrassed about…"
That night, the monkey soldiers and generals in the Water Curtain Cave had fallen asleep. Only their king, Monkey King Sun Wukong, was still sitting on the stone bench in the hall with his eyes closed. But tonight, their king was different from usual. No matter how hard Wukong tried, he couldn't enter the ideal state of meditation. Every time he closed his eyes, the image of the Dragon King of the East Sea pointing at his nose and calling him a thief kept appearing in his mind. He stood up and sat down. After a while, he went outside the cave to practice his magical powers. He had only reviewed all the magical powers taught by his master, but he still hadn't made up his mind to return the Jingu Staff. He loved the Jingu Staff too much!
After a whole night, the sky suddenly brightened. Wukong arranged for the Four-Cave Monkeys to come out of the cave to pick fruits while the Four-Cave Monkeys stayed in the cave to practice. He sat on the stone platform, instructing the monkey soldiers and generals to practice while thinking about the Jingu Staff. No matter how hard he tried to suppress it, he could feel a voice that could not be chased away constantly shouting in his ear,"You are a thief! Thieves! Thief!"
He couldn't take it anymore. He patted his head and finally made up his mind to go to the Dragon Palace immediately and explain this to the Dragon King. If the Dragon King was willing to give him the Jingu Staff, he would take it back with a clear conscience. If he didn't, he would return the Jingu Staff to the Dragon Palace and save himself the endless mental torture.
Wukong slapped his head, and the other monkeys who were training with him also followed their king and slapped their heads. Wukong saw this and smiled. He called the leaders of the four caves and told them that he was going to the East China Sea. He was about to leave the cave when he suddenly heard the shark general shouting outside the Water Curtain Cave,""Soldiers and generals in the cave, listen up. I'm the Sea-Patrolling Shark General of the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Today, I'm here to meet your king on the Flower-Fruit Mountain under the orders of our Dragon King. Please inform your King Sun Wukong to see me.”
When Wukong heard this, he knew that something was wrong."This is bad, this is bad! The Dragon King must have found out that the Jingu Staff had been stolen and sent the Shark General here to ask for the treasure. It seemed like the old saying was true,'If you don't want others to know, don't do it.'……This time, I've lost a lot of face." He thought again, It hasn't even been 24 hours yet. The 'Water Grass Jingu Staff' that I transformed into at the bottom of the sea shouldn't have disappeared, right? How did the Dragon King discover that the Jingu Staff had been stolen so quickly? I didn't expect that the monsters of the water race could see through my changes…"
He didn't have time to think, he quickly called Hou Jiang Yuan Wu over and whispered something in his ear. Although Sun Yuanwu was somewhat baffled by King Monkey Shi's order, he still followed it and jumped out of the cave.
Sun Yuanwu jumped out of the cave, bowed, and said to the shark general,""Our Great King is not in the cave. He left the cave early this morning to meet his friends.”
When Shark General heard that Water Curtain Cave Master Sun Wukong was not in the cave, he said to Sun Yuanwu,""I have come under the orders of our Dragon King to present your king with a set of clothes. Please pass them to your king.”As he spoke, he threw a package in his hand to Sun Yuanwu."There is one more thing. When your king returns, please bring it to him as well. Our Dragon King said,'Let your king travel in the three worlds in the future. Don't mention that he once went to the East Sea, and don't go to the East Sea again.'”With that, he disappeared into the water.
Wukong pricked up his ears in the cave and heard it clearly. He could not help but wonder,"General Shark…why didn't you mention the Jingu Staff before leaving?”
Yuan Wu returned to the cave. Wu Kong took the package from him and opened it. He was surprised and happy. It turned out that there was a set of golden armor inside the package. A phoenix feather purple gold crown, a set of golden armor, and a pair of golden armor. A pair of Golden Silk Cloud Footwork. Wukong couldn't wait to put on the armor. It was neither too big nor too small, as if it was tailor-made. As the saying goes,"Clothes make the man.”At this moment, King Monkey Shi's entire body was shining with a golden light, and his aura was imposing.
Wukong was filled with joy, and the monkeys cheered in unison. Wukong was overjoyed to see that the Dragon King not only did not pursue the matter of him stealing the Jingu Staff, but also gave him a set of treasured armor. He bowed in the direction of the East Sea and said,""Thank you, old Dragon King, for not pursuing the matter of me stealing the treasure and even giving me the armor. I just can't go into the sea to thank you. This way, I won't even have to thank you in person. I…I really can't figure it out.”
Amidst the cheers of the monkey soldiers and generals, Wukong looked at the golden armor on his body and muttered to himself," Old Dragon King, if the East Sea needs me in the future, I will be willing to be the vanguard of the East Sea. I will charge the flame array for the East Sea to repay your gift of treasures."”At this point, he suddenly burst into laughter and thought,"The Dragon race is famous in the Three Realms. Who dares to provoke them? It seems that I really have no way to repay their kindness.”
In his joy, Wukong immediately gathered the monkey soldiers and monkey generals outside the cave. In front of the monkeys, he spat out the one-inch-long Jingu Staff from his mouth. He held it in his hand and waved it in the wind. With a thought, the Jingu Staff became as thick as a teacup and three meters long. It was a dazzling golden staff. Wukong raised the Jingu Staff and ordered the monkey soldiers and monkey generals to watch from afar. He waved the Jingu Staff. It was shining with golden light and the shadow of the staff was heavy. How could his shadow be seen?
Wukong got excited and jumped onto the mountain peak. After jumping into the clouds, the monkeys saw the golden stick shadow cover the sky and earth, up and down, and all of them cheered loudly.
Wukong was dancing happily when he suddenly stopped in the air and shouted to the monkeys,""Little ones! Look at my divine power!" With that, he swung his club and swooped down from the sky. A loud boom was heard where the golden staff flashed. Gravel flew everywhere, and the peak of a cliff collapsed under the Jingu Staff in his hand.
The monkeys watching in front of the Water Curtain Cave cheered in unison, their voices shaking the clouds. A muffled " okay " sound was mixed in with the crowd, and it actually drowned out the cheers of the monkey soldiers and generals. The monkeys were shocked when they heard this. They looked around in panic, but they did not see anything. Their king, the Monkey King Sun Wukong, sensed something was wrong. He flew down and waved his Jingu Staff at a huge rock beside the Water Curtain Cave, shouting,""What kind of monster is this? Come out and die!"
