The monkey king felt pity for the hunter, but he was even more furious at the hunter's stone-hearted heart. The black eagle begged him bitterly, but he still refused to spare his life. He had forgotten that he could only understand the black eagle's words because he had eaten the Confusion Pill given by Ao Xin, but the hunter and the black eagle did not speak the same language. Seeing that the hunter was about to shoot an arrow, he didn't hesitate and jumped down from the tree. Climbing trees and jumping were his forte, and this pounce was unusually fierce. The hunter suddenly saw something covered in fur pouncing towards him. His expression changed in shock and he instinctively dodged, so he couldn't shoot the arrow.
The monkey king's pounce missed. As soon as it landed on the ground, it immediately jumped onto a high mountain rock and stared at the hunter like a tiger eyeing its prey. When Hunter saw that it was a monkey that attacked him, he flew into a rage and cursed,""You bastard, you dare to attack me? You're really tired of living. Today, I'll have a pot of stew. I'll kill you first, then I'll deal with that black eagle.”After saying that, he drew his bow and shot an arrow at the monkey king.
The monkey king jumped to the side. The hunter's arrow missed. He did not think of escaping and continued to stare at the hunter like a tiger eyeing its prey. The hunter also glared at the monkey king. He was extremely angry and said,"You reckless bastard, you still dare to fight me? If grandpa doesn't shoot you today, my name as Hunter Zhang will be removed from my name.”
The Monkey King stood on the mountain rock with his hands on his waist and said,"Is that true?"
When he said that, Hunter Zhang looked like he had seen a ghost. His face instantly turned pale. The beast spoke human language. It must have encountered a monster. It cried out and ran away. After running a few steps, it fell down and lost a shoe. In the blink of an eye, it ran away without a trace. After returning, it was seriously ill and never dared to enter this mountain again.
Seeing Hunter Zhang fleeing in a sorry state, the monkey king did not chase after him. It jumped off the mountain rock and approached the black eagle. The black eagle saw that it was a monkey. It was a common sight, but it did not know why the hunter was so afraid of it. Seeing that he was coming over, he didn't know if he wanted to harm him, but the other party didn't have a hunter's bow and arrow, so he wasn't afraid. He was already prepared to fight with the monkey king, and his eagle eyes were full of hostility.
After the Monkey King ate the Confusion Pill, he was able to communicate with all beasts. He immediately said to the black eagle,"I want to save you, not hurt you. Now that the hunter is gone, you are no longer a threat. However, you are seriously injured. If you don't get treated, your life will be in danger.”
The black eagle also sensed that the monkey king did not have any hostility. If the monkey king wanted to hurt it, there was no need for it to attack the hunter. After thinking about it, he believed the Monkey King's words and said,""Thank you for chasing away the hunter, but I'm afraid I'm hopeless.”
The Monkey King said," I will definitely do my best to save you. Don't you still have a child waiting for you to feed? Therefore, you must persevere and live on."”
Thinking of his child, Black Eagle's desire to live was reignited. At this moment, the Monkey King had already crouched down and reached out to grab the arrow. He pulled it out with force, and a mouthful of blood shot out. The black eagle trembled in pain. The Monkey King had lived in the mountains for a long time and knew that those herbs could stop bleeding and heal injuries. He immediately went to the mountains to find some, rubbed and chewed them, and applied them on the black eagle's arrow wound. He also tore off his own clothes and bandaged the wound. After doing this, the black eagle fainted due to excessive blood loss.
When the black eagle woke up, the sun was already in the west. The black eagle could not fly and could only barely walk. The monkey king took care of it and returned to its nest. Its nest was on a cliff, and there were three young eagles in the nest. The black eagle was too busy to take care of itself. How could it still have the ability to feed its children? The monkey king was also not in a hurry. He might as well save people until the end and send Buddha to the west. He stayed on the mountain with the four eagles as companions. However, he did not know how to hunt. He could only catch some insects and grasshoppers as their food every day. After more than a month, the black eagle's injuries had healed, and the baby eagle could live independently.
The Monkey King was about to leave when the black eagle asked him where he was going. The Monkey King did not hide anything from him and told him about his own matters. He planned to go to the Western Ox Hezhou to continue his search for immortals. He had to find a way to return to the Flowerfruit Mountain without dying.
Black Eagle said," The West Sea is on the other side of the mountain. To reach the West Ox Hezhou, you have to cross the West Sea. How are you going to get there without a boat?"”
The Monkey King said,"At worst, we can make a raft and float over like we did when we crossed the East Sea."”
Black Eagle said," Then when will we be able to get there? Besides, the sea is dangerous. What if we encounter something?" You saved my family, and I don't know how to repay you. How about this, you sit on my back, and I'll send you across the sea?”
The Monkey King was overjoyed. He had a good night's rest after discussing with the black eagle. The next day, the black eagle carried him across the West Ocean. Sitting on the eagle's back, he saw the West Sea surging with waves. It was vast and boundless, and it was not inferior to the East Sea at all. When he thought of Dong Hai, he couldn't help but think of Ao Xin. It had been more than six years since they last met in Dong Hai, but now it seemed like only yesterday.
After the black eagle recovered from its injuries, it was still as strong as before. Now, it flew in the clouds as if it was riding on clouds. It was much faster than the last time it took to ride a raft. In just two days, it had crossed the West Sea. The Monkey King bid farewell to the black eagle and stepped into the Western Ox Hezhou.
From afar, he saw a group of people on the beach. There were men, women, young and old. The old man and the woman were weaving fishing nets, the children were chasing and playing with each other, and the men were unloading baskets of fish and shrimps from the boat. It turned out that they were a group of fishermen by the sea.
The monkey king wanted to find out the path and walked towards the crowd. When these people saw a monkey walking over, they didn't mind it other than thinking that he was a little bold. Moreover, they had more people, so they weren't afraid that he would commit murder or rob them. On the contrary, these children became playful when they saw the monkey king, and they dug up the sand and threw it at him. At first, the monkey king only dodged, but later on, it was forced to panic. It bared its teeth and glared at the children, scaring them into running back to the adults. When people saw this scene, they felt that this monkey was unusually bold. They did not know why he was approaching them. Some people had already stopped what they were doing and stared at the monkey without blinking.
Before the Monkey King could speak, he made a bow. However, as soon as he spoke, these people scattered in a hubbub. Their fear was not inferior to Hunter Zhang's. They only hated that their parents had lost two legs and fled for their lives. One of the old men's hair and beard had all turned white. He was so skinny that he was only skin and bones. He had only run a few steps when he fell and was caught by the monkey king. The old man seemed to be scared silly and didn't even speak properly." Great King…spare…spare my life…Great King spare…my life…"
The Monkey King helped the old man up and even helped him clean the dirt on his body. He said,""Don't be afraid, old sir. I'm not a demon, and I won't harm your life. I'm just asking for directions.”
The old man still didn't dare to look at the Monkey King, but he wasn't as scared as before. He said,""But your appearance is really scary.”
The Monkey King laughed." You weren't afraid of me at the beginning. But when I opened my mouth to speak, you took me for a monster."”
"I've lived for almost seventy years, but I've never seen a beast…a monkey that can speak human language."”He originally wanted to say the word beast, but he didn't dare to, so he changed his words.
The Monkey King was deeply moved. He had eaten the Confusion Pill. Although he had a special ability, he had also caused a lot of trouble. He immediately said,"The world is big, and there are all kinds of strange things. I'm just one of the more special monkeys.”
However, the old man still felt that the Monkey King didn't have a sense of security and only wanted to send him away as soon as possible. He remembered that the Monkey King wanted to ask for directions and said,""You said you wanted to ask for directions. Could it be that you're lost? Where are you going? I'm not bragging, but there's no place within a few hundred miles that I don't know?”
The Monkey King said," I've traveled for six or seven years since I came from the Eastern Victory Divine Prefecture. I want to seek the Way of the Immortal. I wonder where there are immortal mountains and ancient caves in the Western Ox Province. Where can I meet immortals?"”
When the old man heard this, he sized up the monkey king. After confirming that he was indeed a monkey, he said,"You want to find a deity?"
"That's right," said the Monkey King."Please enlighten me, old sir."”
The old man twirled his silver beard and pondered for a long time before saying,""I heard that there is a place with immortals. There is a Green Dragon Mountain five hundred miles away from here. It is said that there are often immortals showing their divinity on the mountain.”
The Monkey King was overjoyed. He bowed again and silently recited this name twice in his heart, firmly memorizing it. But he felt that something was amiss. Ao Xin was an azure dragon. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence? He then asked the old man for the route, but he only knew that it was all the way to the north. He did not know the exact route. He bid farewell to the old man and went to Green Dragon Mountain.
