"Humph! Do you think that our underwater estate doesn't know what you've done in the Devil Realm all these years?”Shark General pulled out the serrated steel knife at his waist and shouted at Wukong,""Our underwater estate is not the Devil Realm. You've come to the wrong place if you want to behave atrociously here.”Seeing that the host and guest were about to fight, it was fortunate that the tour guide, Little Shrimp, was still a soldier under the Shark General. Seeing this, he quickly pulled the Shark General to the side and whispered,"General, we stay in the underwater estate all day and are ignorant. Perhaps our neighbor has obtained some kind of opportunity in the Upper Realm and really became the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal in the Heavenly Court. Let's report this to the Dragon King and we'll know if it's true or not.”The Shark General thought for a moment, then put the steel knife back into its sheath and said coldly to Wukong,""Please wait here, Exalted Immortal. I will report to our Dragon King. Without my reply, Exalted Immortal is not allowed to wander around the underwater estate!”
Wukong was already fuming with anger. He said angrily,""I don't need you to inform me. I'll go to the Dragon King myself.”After saying that, they parted ways and headed straight for the Crystal Palace.
Seeing this, the shark general hurriedly led the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind him and shouted,""Exalted Immortal, please calm down, Exalted Immortal, please calm down…"
Soon, Wukong took the lead and arrived outside the Crystal Palace. Just as the shrimp soldiers and crab generals on duty outside the palace were about to stop him, Wukong stood outside the palace door and shouted,""Flowerfruit Mountain's Monkey King, the current Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, has come to pay his respects to our neighbor, the Old Dragon King!”
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was discussing scriptures and preaching with Prime Minister Turtle and a few other generals of the underwater estate in the hall. Hearing this, he said to the generals with a smile,""It's our old neighbor. The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong, has arrived.”
Wukong entered the main hall and shouted angrily,""Old Dragon King, I, Sun Wukong, am now a first-grade Celestial Realm Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. I am grateful for your kindness in the past and would like to thank you in person. But unexpectedly, the Divine Generals of your underwater mansion neglected me and asked the Dragon King to make a decision for me. How could you treat your guests like this?”
"Sun Wukong, you've made a name for yourself now," the Dragon King said with a smile."You've become the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, a first-grade Celestial. I'm happy for you." When you are proud, you can still remember your kindness. It shows that you are kind by nature. The Divine General of the underwater estate has been slow to treat you today because of the karma you caused in the Devil Realm.”
"Old Dragon King," Wukong shouted at the Dragon King in confusion,"I came to the East Sea today to thank you. Don't protect your men." What did I do in the Demon Realm? What did you do?" He thought for a moment." Didn't I just help my brothers fight a few battles and teach a lesson to a few demon beasts who bullied my adopted brother? I'm also punishing evil and promoting good!"
The Dragon King waved at Wukong and said,""Sun Wukong, sit down first. Why did you come to thank me today?”
"Old Dragon King, how could you forget?”Wukong jumped onto his seat and looked at the Dragon King strangely."Back then, I stole your Godly Sea Steadying Needle. After you found out, not only did you not ask for it from me, you even ordered General Shark, who patrolled the sea, to give me a set of golden armor at my Flowerfruit Mountain and instructed me not to say that I had been to the East Sea. I think the Dragon King was worried that Old Sun would be in the Demon Realm at that time. If he associated with Old Sun, it would damage the Dragon King's face, so he followed the old Dragon King's instructions and did not dare to step into the East China Sea for hundreds of years. Now that I, Old Sun, have become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven of the First Stage Immortal Realm, I am already a deity with status in the Immortal World. Therefore, I thought that I should come to the East Sea to visit Longzun and thank him in person.”At this point, he cupped his hands and bowed to the Dragon King. He continued,"The old Dragon King wouldn't have forgotten about this, right? I, Old Sun, have never forgotten Longzun's kindness!”
"To think that you're not an ungrateful person. How could I not know that you took the Godly Sea Steadying Needle? How could I forget about giving you the treasured armor so quickly?”"Sun Wukong, do you know the origin of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle?" the Dragon King asked.”
Wukong thought for a moment and replied,"I heard that when the King of Yu was controlling the flood, Longzun once helped the King of Yu control the flood and subdue the demons." After King Yu succeeded in controlling the flood, in order to thank Longzun for his help, he gave the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to Longzun as a souvenir.”
The Dragon King twirled his beard and nodded slightly."Sun Wukong, you only know one thing and don't know the other. Back then, King Yu really handed the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to me to watch over. I didn't expect it to be stolen by you.”Although the Dragon King said so, he smiled at Wukong.
"Old Dragon King, it's true that I stole the Godly Sea Steadying Needle, but after you found out, not only did you not ask for it, you even gave me the treasured armor. It can be seen that you have already given me the Godly Sea Steadying Needle.”Wukong was worried that the Dragon King would go back on his word and ask him for the treasure, so he hurriedly said,"Old Dragon King, you are highly respected in the three worlds. You can't take back what you have given away!”
"You're really tricky, you monkey," the Dragon King said with a smile. Since it was something that was given out, of course, it would not be taken back. However, you still have to remember that you cannot say that the Golden-Hooped Cudgel is a gift from me.”
Wukong was delighted to hear this and nodded repeatedly. He hurriedly urged,"Old Dragon King, you'd better tell Old Sun the origin of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle.”
The Dragon King nodded and said," I remember that when the Kingdom of Heaven was first established, the Heavenly Emperor was very generous and recruited many demonic beasts that were rampant for a time to ascend to the heavens. Among them were the Water Demon Gonggong who broke the Sky Lifting Pillar in the primitive times and his old enemy, the Fire Demon Zhurong. According to their specialties, the Celestial Thearch made them immortals of the Water and Fire Divisions. The difference was that Fire Demon Zhurong became the Divine Lord of the Fire Sect and led the Fire Sect's gods. Water Demon Gonggong was only an ordinary Immortal God of the Water Sect. Because of his dissatisfaction, Gonggong was seduced by Mo Xie and rebelled. Because his demonic nature had not been extinguished, he actually opened the Heavenly River dam before he left, causing the torrential rain to fall for three days and three nights in the human world. The Heavenly River was blocked by the patrolling gods. It was too late. The human world was already flooded. In order to help the human world deal with the flood, the Three Pure Saints had joined forces to refine this Ocean-Pacifying Godly Needle in the Eight Trigrams Furnace with five-colored iron and stone. As the energy needed to refine the Godly Sea Steadying Needle was too large, the Three Pure Ones did not have enough firepower to refine the Godly Sea Steadying Needle in a short period of time. At this critical moment, Fire God Zhurong offered his Samadhi True Fire and finally helped the Three Pure Ones refine the Godly Sea Steadying Needle. Fire God Zhurong also gave up the True Samadhi Fire and injured the Original God, so he resigned from his position as Divine Lord of the Fire Sect.”At this point, the Dragon King felt a little regretful." Later, he left the Fire Sect and went into seclusion in the lower realm. Up until now, no immortal or god knows where he is.”
"I'm sure that after Gonggong rebelled against the Heavenly Court, Zhurong lost the fun of fighting opponents and couldn't stand the loneliness, so it went into seclusion in the lower realm.”"Old Dragon King, what happened to Gong Gong after he rebelled against the Heaven?" Wukong suddenly interrupted.”
" After Gong Gong rebelled against the Heavenly Court," the Dragon King said," the Heavenly Emperor was furious. In order to maintain the order of the Immortal World, he ordered the gods of the three worlds to encircle Gong Gong. Later, the four seas brothers finally captured Gong Gong and sent him to the heaven for punishment. In order to warn the other immortals and gods, the Heavenly Emperor crushed Gong Gong into minced meat with the 'Heaven and Earth Demon Subduing Hand'. At this time, the flood had been raging in the human world for several years. The person in charge of controlling the flood was the descendant of the Human King Fuxi, King Yu. King Yu was born with divine power. He carried the Godly Sea Steadying Needle and traveled all over the world to dredge the rivers. At that time, the heavenly soldiers and generals were trying their best to suppress the culprit, Gonggong, and some demonic beasts took the opportunity to cause trouble. When King Yu was controlling the flood, he was repeatedly disturbed by the demonic beasts. The old dragon and Fuxi were of the same ancestor, so how could he ignore them? He subdued a few demonic beasts that led the uproar and helped King Yu quell the flood.”
"After the flood subsided, King Yu felt that the Ocean-Pacifying Godly Needle had lost its effect, so he gave it to the old Dragon King as a favor. Later, Old Sun took away the Godly Sea Steadying Needle. The old dragon king felt that the Godly Sea Steadying Needle had no use in the East China Sea anyway, so he did not pursue the crime of stealing treasures from Old Sun. He even gave Old Sun a set of golden armor as a favor.”Wukong analyzed the situation in a self-righteous manner and asked the Dragon King,""Old Dragon King, is Old Sun right?”
"The Godly Sea Steadying Needle is a wishful treasure. How can it be useless?”"After the flood-control was completed, King Yu was worried that the Godly Sea Steadying Needle would be coveted by demons, so he entrusted the Godly Sea Steadying Needle to the old dragon," the Dragon King continued. Actually, at that time, only King Yu and I knew that the Godly Sea Steadying Needle was a rare treasure. Even the Three Pure Sheng Deity thought that they had created a black and shiny treasure for flood control.”At this point, the Dragon King looked at Wukong and smiled."Including you, there are still two of them now because King Yu has already passed away. However, you and King Yu only know that this is a Ruyi treasure. As for how it is Ruyi, you didn't delve into it.”
Wukong heard this and hurriedly interrupted,""Old Dragon King, can't the Godly Sea Steadying Needle change its size? What other functions can it have?"
"It has great functions!" "The Ocean-Pacifying Godly Needle is also known as the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod," the Dragon King said. When the Three Pure Ones had made it, they had only considered that it would be convenient for King Yu to carry it with him. Not only could it be of any size, but it could also be of any weight. You should have experienced this long ago."
Wukong nodded at the Dragon King." Sometimes I make it as short as a steel needle and stuff it into my ear. Sometimes, he would turn it into something as soft as cow hair and put it under his tongue.”
"It's called Ruyi," the Dragon King continued."It means to do as one pleases." If you think that he can only become bigger or smaller, lighter or heavier, that's all you can think of. In fact, you can give it everything you want, and you can get all its functions.”
Wukong was overjoyed when he heard this. He opened his mouth and was about to spit out the Jingu Staff to practice on the spot."Although the treasure is in my mouth now, I stole it back then. It's not appropriate to take it out in front of the master now. It's not too late to practice its divine power after Old Sun leaves the East China Sea.”Thinking of this, he quickly lied and said,"I came in a hurry and actually left this fellow in the Great Sage's Mansion. Old Dragon King, what other uses does it have?”
The Dragon King of the East Sea knew that the Godly Sea Steadying Needle was in Wukong's mouth at the moment, but he did not say anything. He only scolded,"You are indeed a monkey demon.”"After a pause, I continued," Later on, I placed the Godly Sea Steadying Needle in the crater of the seabed to be smelted and tempered it with seawater. I also inlaid golden hoops on both ends of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle and engraved the Double Fish Diagram and the Yin-Yang Double Fish Diagram. I also cast a spell to make the two ends of the Godly Sea Steadying Needle have different functions, which is why it became what it is now.”
"Tell me, Dragon King. What are the different functions of its two ends?”When Wukong heard that the two ends of the Jingu Staff had new functions, he immediately urged the Dragon King of the East Sea.
"Don't be impatient, monkey. Since the old dragon has said one, how can he not say the other?”The old dragon king continued," The old dragon gave it the magic of overturning the river and stirring the waves with its pisces. No matter how boundless the ocean is, as long as you insert this end into the water and stir it three times, you can stir up the turbid waves. At the end of the Yin-Yang fish picture, it was given the spell of calming the waves. No matter how turbid the waves were, as long as this end was inserted into the water, it would calm down and the jade world would be clear.”
As soon as the old dragon king finished speaking, Wukong smiled and said,""Old Dragon King, you gave this treasure two spells. I really don't know what will happen to your East Sea if I stir the Jingu Staff three times in your East Sea.”
" Hahaha..." The Dragon King laughed and said," The divine generals of our underwater mansion are all proficient in sea-suppressing spells, so this spell has no deterrent effect on us."”
Wukong said," Old Dragon King, the underwater prefecture is one family in the world. Since you all know how to crack it, I think the magic you've painstakingly bestowed on the Godly Sea Steadying Needle will be useless."”
The old dragon king stroked his beard and smiled." A treasure with a few spells is always beneficial and harmless."
After bidding farewell to the Dragon King of the East Sea, Wukong happily returned to the Great Sage Mansion and continued his carefree immortal life...
