The Monkey King said," I am indeed from the Flowerfruit Mountain. I can swear that I am not lying to you."”
Ao Xin said," It's true that you came from the Flowerfruit Mountain. However, this pearl is flashing with a red light, which means that you've only said half of it. You definitely didn't live in the Flowerfruit Mountain in the past, but moved here from somewhere else?"”
The Monkey King was greatly shocked. This pearl was indeed a treasure. It even knew about this. It seemed that he could not hide anything from this Eldest Princess. He said,"I used to live in Mount Emei. I don't know how I came to Mount Flowerfruit.”Seeing that the pearl in Ao Xin's hand didn't change, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Ao Xin asked, and the Monkey King answered. He told Ao Xin how he found the Water Curtain Cave after he came to the Flowerfruit Mountain, how there were demons on the mountain, how Erlang Shen killed the demons, how he was crowned king by the monkeys, how he sailed out to the sea to search for immortals, how he wanted to seek immortality, and so on.
When Ao Xin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh endlessly for the Monkey King's bizarre encounters. The Monkey King had been paying attention to the pearl. Seeing that there was no change, it meant that what he said was true. He looked at Ao Xin and said," Princess, do you believe me now? I'm not a spy. You should let me go, right?"”
Ao Xin's brows were tightly knitted, as though something had suddenly stirred up in her heart. When she looked at the Monkey King again, the strange feeling she had at the beginning became even more intense. This was definitely not an illusion. Could it be that he really had some kind of relationship with this monkey? Was this the will of the heavens? She sighed to herself and made a big decision in her heart. Hearing the Monkey King's words, he said,"Since you have no relationship with the Aolai Kingdom, I should naturally let you go."”
The Monkey King said," Thank you, Princess. However, the raft that I relied on to cross the sea has been destroyed by the waves. I no longer have any tools to cross the sea."”
Ao Xin said,"You don't have to make things difficult for this. I will naturally send you across the sea."”
"Thank you, Princess." The Monkey King was overjoyed.”
Ao Xin said," But you're just a beast. You don't understand human language. Even if you meet an immortal, I'm afraid you won't be able to grasp the opportunity and brush past him."”
The Monkey King's heart turned cold and he said gloomily,""Do I have to return to the Flowerfruit Mountain and continue my ordinary life, waiting for birth, old age, illness, and death?”
Ao Xin said," You came here entirely because of the misunderstanding between the octopus spirit and the Patrolling Yaksha. We can be considered to be fated. In order to compensate you, I can help you once."”As she spoke, she stretched her hand out in front of the monkey king. However, the pearl in her hand was already gone. Instead, she was holding a red pill. He said," This pill is called the Confusion Pill. After you eat it, other than the appearance of a monkey, you will be no different from a human. However, whether you can become an immortal and attain the Dao in the end will depend on your luck.”
"Thank you, Princess." The Monkey King said. Taking the Confusion Pill from Ao Xin's hand, he had truly profited from this misfortune. Because he was too excited, his hand also started to tremble, and he finally put it into his mouth with great difficulty. He didn't expect the pill to melt in his mouth, and a cool feeling immediately spread through his limbs and bones.
Ao Xin pulled out a golden hairpin with a phoenix head from his head. He chanted something and the hairpin instantly became the size of a stool. He said to the Monkey King,"You sit on it and it will send you across the sea.”
The Monkey King listened to Ao Xin's words and immediately sat on the golden hairpin. The golden hairpin immediately brought him up, and when they came out of the water, they had already turned into a canoe. He rode the wind and waves, like an arrow leaving the bow, sailing on the sea. In less than a meal, he had already reached the coast. The Monkey King abandoned the canoe and went ashore. When he looked at the canoe again, he saw a white light flash a few times before disappearing. He believed that it had gone to report to its master. Because of his gratitude towards Ao Xin, he bowed three times towards the sea before leaving Eastern Sea.
After crossing the Eastern Sea, they left the Eastern Victory Divine Lands. If they continued forward, they would enter the South Jambu Continent. After this monkey king consumed the Confusion Pill given by the Eldest Princess of Dong Hai, Ao Xin, it was indeed different from before. It could understand the languages of all kinds of birds and beasts, and its mind was agile and its imitation ability was extremely strong. Other than the appearance of a monkey, its intelligence had even surpassed that of a human. However, he was still a beast. Every time he spoke in human language, the people he saw would all scatter like birds and beasts, treating him as a demon. There were even some busybodies who invited a mage to perform a ritual to exorcise demons, causing him to be very distressed. Later, he snuck into a clothing store at night and took a set of boots, a hat, and a long robe to wear to cover his fur. He pressed the hat low to cover his face. Because he was small and small, this set of clothes was too big, making it look nondescript. However, he could finally communicate with people. Other than learning how to speak, he also learned a lot of etiquette. However, there was another troublesome thing. He grew up in the deep mountains and did not understand human currency exchange. Without money, he could not eat. He had to beg and rob, and sometimes he even stole. Being chased and beaten became a common occurrence. He really tasted all kinds of sufferings in the human world. Although he suffered setbacks, he never gave up. He had walked through the villages and towns of the states of Jambu, searching through the mountains and rivers. He wanted to find one of the immortals, buddhas, and saints, to seek immortality and escape the pain of reincarnation forever. However, all he had seen were people who sought fame and fortune, greedy and treacherous people. He was used to seeing open and secret struggles, and he couldn't help but sigh at the lack of people's hearts and the coldness of the world.
Unknowingly, he had been traveling for more than six years, but he still had nothing. It was the middle of summer. The sun was high in the sky and the weather was hot. He found a dense banyan tree, took off his clothes, and hung it on a branch to shade himself from the sun. The wind blew and the heat disappeared. Soon, he fell asleep. In his dreams, he suddenly saw a huge azure dragon flying over from the horizon. When it came close, it had already turned into a beautiful woman. It was Ao Xin. Ao Xin was very happy to see him and said a whole bunch of things, but he only saw her open her mouth and didn't hear a single word of what she said. He thought of Ao Xin's favor of giving him the pill to help him become an immortal as soon as possible, but he had yet to achieve anything. He was depressed and didn't know what to say. He couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. Seeing that he was ignoring him, Ao Xin suddenly flew into a rage and left with a flick of his sleeves. The monkey king was extremely anxious and woke up in an instant. It turned out to be a dream.
The events of the dream were still vivid in his mind, and he couldn't help but recall a trace of his longing for Ao Xin, causing him to feel deeply hurt. All of a sudden, an idea flashed in his mind, and he punched himself in the head, cursing himself for being so stupid. Ao Xin was the Eldest Princess of the Eastern Sea, and her father was the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea. Wasn't their family all immortals? He had been dreaming of finding immortals, but he had already met them and missed them. Now that he had come to his senses, it was too late for regret.
Just as he was feeling regretful, a huge creature suddenly descended from the sky and landed on a rock not far away. It turned out to be a huge black eagle. There was an arrow stuck in the base of the black eagle's left wing. It was unknown how deep it had been shot. As soon as it landed on the rock, its blood dyed the rock red. It was obvious that it had been injured by the hunter. The black eagle wailed twice, but the monkey king could hear clearly that it was a cry for help.
The monkey king couldn't bear to see this and wanted to come down from the tree to save him. Suddenly, he saw a person running over from afar. He was carrying a bow and arrow. His upper body was bare, and his muscles were like dragons. His skin was tanned by the sun. It was a hunter. He went straight for the black eagle. As he got closer, he saw that the black eagle was still alive and knew that this beast was ferocious. He did not dare to get close, so he took out his bow and arrow and aimed at the black eagle. He was waiting for an arrow to shoot and end its life.
The black eagle's wing was shot by an arrow and was severely injured. It could no longer fly. Seeing that its life was on the line, it could not help but let out a desperate cry. The monkey king could tell that the black eagle was begging for mercy. It was begging the hunter to spare its life. Its children were still waiting for it to feed them. If it died, its children would not live either. However, the hunter didn't understand the eagle's language, and it wasn't easy for him to hunt this prey, so how could he give up? He didn't move at all, and his bow was already filled with power.
