Although the appearance in the mirror made him a little discouraged, it was only for now. It was only a matter of time before he transformed. Sooner or later, he would become the Great Sage, Sun Wukong, who even the fairies from heaven descended to the mortal world for him.
He didn't take off his armor. It was obvious which one he should wear, a pitiful cotton shirt or a gorgeous armor.
When Wukong returned to the snake cave, the golden snake was still shedding its skin in pain. Wukong did not want to kill her. At least her appearance was much more exquisite than the scorpion. At least she would not be an eyesore.
However, after observing for a while, Wukong lost interest. He immediately activated his clairaudient and began to explore and practice.
After using this ability many times, his clairaudient ability had clearly improved greatly. He could now distinguish sounds within a thousand meters. Beyond a thousand meters, other than deliberately listening for a key word, other sounds would still appear a little chaotic. However, he had learned to restrain his range.
As long as he controlled his ability to a range that he could receive, he would no longer have to worry about his ears going deaf. As he continued to practice, he could gradually increase the range until he could hear the entire world.
Time passed silently.
A day later.
On the road at the foot of a mountain, Wukong stopped in his tracks.
He raised his head and looked at the wooden house that stood tall on the mountain. His ears carefully distinguished all the sounds. The voices of the elderly, the laughter of the children, the rustling of the leaves... All the signs matched his memory perfectly. Clearly, the Gourd Brothers were here.
Wukong put away his armor and walked up the mountain.
Of course, he didn't want to pick the gourds directly. Those gourds hadn't even matured yet. Who knew if they would still be useful after picking them? This time, he was only here to see the situation and see if there were any good things.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!"
"Be good, be good. You're all my good grandsons! I'll give you water!" The aged voice was mixed with joy. Wukong saw an old man watering the vines.
"Eh, there's someone?" One of the gourds on the vines suddenly let out a strange cry.
"Second brother, what did you hear?" The other voices asked noisily.
"You're here." The orange gourd, Second Baby, who had clairvoyance and hearing, muttered when he saw the shadow. He opened his eyes and looked at Monkey who was gradually walking up the mountain path as he said to his brothers.
"A strange monkey. Is it a demon?”The old man looked at the monkey that was walking up. This obvious human-like action made him hide behind the vines in fear.
Grandpa, we'll protect you." It was noisy again.
Wukong's mouth twitched." Old man, don't be afraid. I'm just looking."”
"Ah, so you're a good vixen!" The naive Gourd Brothers believed Wukong with just one sentence, which made Wukong laugh.
Such a simple gourd was actually not eaten by those cunning demons in the original novel. He was really lucky.
He felt that as long as he used a little trick, these gourds would probably jump into the alchemy furnace themselves.
The old man did not seem to be a dark person. Although he still had doubts, he saw that Wukong did not have any evil feelings. He gradually believed him in his heart and felt that he might really be a kind monkey.
It couldn't be helped. This old man was just like that. He wasn't any smarter than the gourd. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been a woodcutter for the rest of his life. Moreover, he didn't even have a wife.
After saying a few words, Wukong was invited to sit in the house.
The small wooden house was very simple and crude, but it was only used to shelter from the wind and rain. There was no problem at all. On the broken wooden table, there was a layer of sticky oil stains, a candle that was only half left, and a few cornbread in a bowl that seemed to have been there for some time.
There wasn't much furniture. The place was poor and empty. The place where they ate and slept was all in the same room.
Wukong had never seen such a simple house before. It was fine if animals lived in this house. After all, he often slept on the tree. Most of the time, there was no house.
However, this old man had lived for 50 years, yet he was still at this stage. He only knew how to chop wood and cook. He had no intention of moving forward at all. What a sad life!
Wukong glanced at the smiling old man and suddenly had the urge to slap him to death.
What he hated the most was this kind of person who didn't know how to advance at all and only knew how to be content with the current situation. If I were him, I would have died long ago.
Wukong felt as if he had failed to meet his expectations. Although this was just a piece of rotten wood that could not be any more rotten.
Seeing the old man smiling, Wukong suppressed the disgust in his heart and asked," Grandpa, where did you find these gourds?”
"Gourd Mountain." The old man did not hide anything." But there's nothing there anymore.”
"Oh, I was just asking. Where is the Gourd Mountain?”
"It's on the east side. If you follow that path, you'll reach it in six to five hours.”
After rejecting the old man's offer to treat him to some cornbread, Wukong headed toward the Gourd Mountain alone.
In the distance, after passing a mountain, Wukong saw a huge mountain peak that looked like a huge gourd. It was Gourd Mountain!
After seeing the Gourd Mountain, Wukong quickened his pace and rushed over.
Originally, he didn't plan to go to the Gourd Mountain. He just wanted to see the Gourd Brothers. But now that he was interested, he wanted to see if there were any other treasures in the Gourd Mountain.
He remembered that there was a mountain god on Gourd Mountain. He was the one who gave the Seven-Colored Lotus to the old man and turned the Gourd Brothers into Vajra Gourd Brothers. That mountain god obviously had more than one treasure. If he snatched it, he might be able to get more.
Moreover, in terms of strength alone, he could not even kill the two demons. He even had to use the gourd to suppress them for thousands of years. It could be seen how weak his strength was. If he hit them with his rod, he would probably be able to finish them off immediately.
This was a huge temptation!
Gourd Mountain.
At the foot of the huge mountain, cracks extended from the mountain. The pangolin had broken through the seal, causing the two demons to escape. The gourd mountain that was used to seal the mountain had also become tattered and lost all its function.
Wukong used his clairaudient ears to eavesdrop for a while before finding a passage and burrowing into it.
