The gods came forward to greet Wukong. The Divine Lord of Water said,""Great Sage Sun, we were ordered to descend a storm on Mount Huang today. Everything was ready and we were about to rain when a loud roar suddenly came from the lower realm. The surging sound wave actually penetrated the thirty-six layers of clouds that we had carefully arranged and scattered the eighteen rain nets. We were all caught off guard and fell from the clouds. We were in a sorry state. We decided to stop the rain and return to the Heavenly Court to report this matter. However, we didn't expect to meet the Great Sage Sun here. Where did the Great Sage come from…and where did he go?”
Wukong laughed secretly in his heart. He knew that it was his own doing, but he replied seriously,"Don't ask me where I'm from, and don't ask me where I'm going. Why haven't you seen any members of the dragon clan with you?”
"Great Sage, you might not know this, but the matter of the clouds and rain in the lower realm is now under the control of the Water Department.”The Divine Lord of the Water Department looked pleased." Even the dragons can't make the decision for the rain above the four seas. It's under the control of the Water Department.”
When Wukong heard this, he secretly cursed," Little God, you've achieved success." However, he deliberately said,"Since you are following the decree to rain, you should rain first and then report back. Don't miss the time and go against the will of heaven. I think you should go back first. I'll send you on your way.”Without waiting for Water Sect Divine Lord's reply, he chanted a mantra in his heart and blew at the dark cloud under the immortals 'feet. The dark cloud immediately flew away with the Water Sect immortals. "Brothers, goodbye!" Wukong cupped his hands and shouted at the immortals.”
The voice of the Divine Lord of Water sounded from afar,""Great Sage is right. It's more important for us to go back and make rain. Thank you."
With this delay, Wukong changed his mind. Instead of returning to the Heavenly Court, he decided to visit his big brother, the Bull Demon King, at Green Bull Mountain. The Bull Demon King was very happy to see his third brother, Sun Wukong, who had become an immortal god and had not been heard from for a long time, descend from the sky and come to see him. He quickly welcomed Sun Wukong into the cave and ordered the little demons to serve Sun Wukong's favorite fruits and peaches. The two brothers exchanged greetings for a while, and the Bull Demon King said,""Now that Third Brother has become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, I'm afraid he has already forgotten about your Brother Bull, right?“
"I wouldn't dare!" Wukong laughed. How dare I! Old Sun still remembered his eldest brother's parting words when he first went to the Heavenly Court. Gou Fugui, don't forget me."
"I knew Third Brother wouldn't forget your Big Brother Niu.”The Bull Demon King patted Wukong's shoulder and said affectionately,""Third brother, you don't have to say anything. I know your purpose for coming down this time.”At this point, he looked at Wukong and smiled,""Third Brother is now the famous 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven'. With our relationship as brothers, Third Brother must have come to the lower realm to recommend your second brother and me to become immortals, right?”
Wukong heard this and said with a guilty expression,""Big brother, you guessed wrong. I also want to help my big brother, second brother, and fourth brother become immortals as soon as possible. That way, I can have a companion in the celestial heavens. However, after I asked around, I found out that the livestock and birds in the lower realm…In short, other than humans, these animals must first be inspected by the Great God of Supervision, the Divine Lord of the Ministry of War, and Heavenly King Li before they can be reported to become immortals.”At this point, he spread his hands and said helplessly,"Big brother, second brother, and fourth brother are not humans. If you want to become an immortal, you must have the approval of these bird gods. However, Big Brother did not know that although Old Sun had not been in the sky for a long time, he had a grudge with Heavenly King Li and his son. Heavenly King Li and his son hated Old Sun to the bone. They were probably dreaming about how to kill Old Sun. Under such circumstances, Old Sun did not dare to mention his brother's immortal ascension. It would be better if he didn't mention it, but if he mentioned it, it would attract the attention of Heavenly King Li and his son. Heavenly King Li was the Great Marshal of the Heavenly Court who specialized in subduing demons and devils. It was said that the Demon Subduing Pagoda in his hands was very powerful.”Wukong looked at the Bull Demon King and continued,""If Heavenly King Li were to find out about what Big Brother and Second Brother did in the lower realm a few years ago, I'm afraid that becoming an immortal is a small matter. At that time, his life would be difficult to protect.”
When the Bull Demon King heard this, he was shocked and could not help but complain to Wukong,""Third brother, what happened to you? You clearly know that Heavenly King Li and his son are powerful, but instead of pleasing them, you chose to go against them. Brother originally wanted you to ascend to heaven and become an immortal. Now, not only can he not count on you, but he might even be implicated by you. Although I think third brother is a monkey spirit, he isn't even one-tenth of my 'spirit'.”The Bull Demon King looked at Wukong and shook his head in dissatisfaction.
"Big brother, what you say is different!" said Wu Kong. Big Brother is Big Brother, Old Sun is Old Sun, and Old Sun will never lower his head to anyone. The more Heavenly King Li wants to punish Old Sun, the more Old Sun will oppose him. Let's see what he can do to me, Old Sun?”
The Bull Demon King stared at Wukong for a long time before he said disappointedly,""Third Brother, Brother Bull can't count on you now. I just hope that you don't cause trouble in the sky. If you drag Big Brother into it, Big Brother will be burning incense.”
"That's right, that's right," Wukong said."I've always been 'sharing happiness with you, and facing difficulties alone.' Big brother, you can rest assured.”
When the Bull Demon King heard this, he looked unhappy and muttered in his heart,""Sharing my ass…"
Wukong saw that the Bull Demon King seemed a little unhappy and felt a little disappointed. Originally, he wanted to leave Green Bull Mountain and then go to Rocky Mountain Ridge to visit his second brother, the Great Strength Demon Bear King. In the end, he didn't go. After leaving Green Bull Mountain, he directly returned to Flowerfruit Mountain's Water Curtain Cave.
After staying in the Flower-Fruit Mountain for half a month, one day, Wukong and the Mastiff King were sparring on the platform outside the cave. The Mastiff King pointed at the Jingu Staff in Wukong's hand and said enviously,""The weapon in third brother's hand is truly a rare treasure, it is many times better than the black iron bone shaped stick in my hand. He just didn't know where his third brother's treasure came from. Can you tell me?"
Wukong was extremely pleased with himself. He was about to tell the truth when he suddenly remembered that when the Shark General gave him the armor, he had been ordered by the Dragon King to tell him not to say anything about the East China Sea. Later, he had guessed that the Dragon King of the East Sea must have been like his master, worried that he would get into trouble by relying on his supernatural powers and magic treasures. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but wonder," His master was powerful and had great magic power. The Dragon King of the East Sea was even more famous in the three worlds. He did not know what kind of disaster he could bring to them. With their abilities, they were actually so cautious. They really didn't understand. At this time, when the Mastiff King asked about the origin of the Jingu Staff, Wukong suddenly thought," Was it because he was in the Demon Realm, and his master and the Dragon King were worried that his identity would embarrass them, so they didn't want him to mention their names when he was outside? That must be the case. But now, he was already the "Great Sage, Heaven's Equal" of the first grade of the Celestial Realm. Whether it was his master's disciple or the Dragon King's neighbor, his current identity would only bring glory to them. His master and senior brother had gone on a journey. The Dragon King of the East Sea had given him a treasure. Now that he was in a good position, he should go to the Dragon Palace to visit the old Dragon King to prove that he was not an ungrateful person. Thinking of this, Wukong quickly said to the Mastiff King,""Fourth brother, I can't tell you the origin of the Jingu Staff in my hand yet, because…Forget it, fourth brother, I have something to do in the Dragon Palace to visit our old neighbor, the Dragon King of the East Sea. After bidding farewell to the Eastern Sea, I will return to the Heavenly Court. I'll have to trouble Fourth Brother to continue helping me look after the Flowerfruit Mountain.”The Mastiff King naturally agreed.
Wukong said goodbye to his fourth brother, the Mastiff King, and leaped into the sky above the East Sea. This time, Wukong was already familiar with the sea. Before he was discovered by the Yakshas, he saw the Sea Patrol General of the East Sea, Shark General, rushing over with a team of shrimp soldiers. Apparently, they had also discovered Wukong. Wukong parted the waterway and called out from afar,""General Shark, Old Sun is here to see you!”
Unexpectedly, the Shark General walked up to Wukong and asked unhappily,""Exalted Immortal, didn't your monkey tribe tell you what I told you at the Water Curtain Cave? Why did you come to the Water Mansion again? Are you disrespectful to our Dragon King?”
"Of course I remember, of course I remember." At this time, Wukong was very pleased with himself. He did not bother with the shark general and boasted,"General Shark, I'm no longer the Mountain King of the Flowerfruit Mountain. I'm now the 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' of the Heavenly Court. I have nothing else to do in the East Sea today, so I'm here to visit the old Dragon King.”
"You're now a first-grade Immortal-ranked Great Sage, Heaven's Equal?”The shark general was shocked. It looked at Wukong doubtfully and said,""Little God, how come I heard that you and a few of your brothers are forming a gang in the Demon Realm now? When did he become a god? Moreover, it was the first-grade Immortal-ranked Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. Do you think that heaven is like our Eastern Sea, where you can go as you please?”He obviously didn't believe Wukong's words. Because he had a prejudice against Wukong, even his words were sarcastic.
Wukong was smart, so he understood the meaning behind his words. He said angrily,""I, Old Sun, am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Of course, I can come and go freely in heaven. Today, I came to the East China Sea to pay my respects to your Dragon King, but you were so mean to me. If it weren't for the fact that your underwater estate had helped me back then, I would have taught you a lesson long ago. Let's not argue with you. Quickly report to your Dragon King that his old neighbor, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven today, Sun Wukong, has come to visit.”
