"Squeak ~ Squeak ~"
Sun Wukong repeated the same trick, pretending to be an ordinary monkey and squeaking twice.
"You're still pretending!" The red-robed woman's phoenix eyes widened, and she casually struck down a bolt of lightning.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly dodged in all directions. He knew that he could no longer pretend, so he shouted,"Please forgive me, Fairy. I just happened to pass by here and didn't mean to peek at you bathing.”
"Humph! You think I can forgive you for your sins just by coincidence? What a fool's dream!" The woman in red was furious. She only knew how to teach Sun Wukong a lesson.
"Fairy, please listen to me. Although I have made mistakes, there is nothing better than knowing my mistakes and being able to correct them. Moreover, the heavens are merciful. You can't take my life just because of one mistake!”Sun Wukong said anxiously.
"I can spare your life, but you have to give me a satisfactory compensation.”The Red Maiden frowned and said.
"What kind of compensation do you need?”Sun Wukong quickly asked.
" I want to…" The Red Lady suddenly stopped halfway and glanced at Sun Wukong with disdain."Forget it. You're destined to never get what I want. You'd better be punished obediently!”
After saying that, he pretended to attack Sun Wukong again.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly shouted,""Fairy, why don't you tell me? Even if I can't get it for you now, I'll definitely be able to do it in the future!”
Seeing Sun Wukong's confident look, the red lady was stunned and subconsciously said,""I asked my father for a pearl that he liked, but he gave it to the Dragon King of the West Sea. The Dragon King of the West Sea treated it like a treasure. With your strength, how can you get it from the West Sea Dragon King?”
After saying that, the red lady shook her head. Thinking about her beloved pearl falling into someone else's hands, she couldn't help but feel dejected. She felt that her father didn't love her enough. Under this sudden heartache, he forgot to punish Sun Wukong. With a sorrowful face, he rode away on a cloud.
Sun Wukong stared blankly at the departing figure of the woman in red and muttered,""Father, the Dragon King of the West Sea! Could this woman be the Jade Emperor's daughter? That's right, the Jade Emperor had seven daughters. Weren't there seven women playing in the pond previously?”
At the thought of this, Sun Wukong could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He secretly sighed that he was not a gigolo. How could he encounter such a melodramatic thing?
……
It had been a long time since he saw the Seven Celestial Maidens bathing. These days, Sun Wukong had been traveling south, visiting all the famous mountains and passing through the entire Jambu Continent. In the end, they finally arrived at the place where the Dhyana Sect was popular-the Western Ox Hezhou.
One day, Sun Wukong suddenly saw a beautiful mountain in front of him.| The peak was like a halberd that pierced straight into the sky, and the ridge was as smooth as a blade. The mountain was covered with exotic flowers and grasses, and long and lush pine and bamboo trees covered the mountainside. The chirping of birds came closer and closer, and occasionally the sound of spring water could be heard. It was truly a blessed land!
When Sun Wukong saw this, he wanted to walk into the forest to enjoy this rare beauty. As he walked, he suddenly heard singing coming from the depths of the forest. Listening carefully, he heard:
"Watching the chess pieces rot, chopping wood, walking slowly at the mouth of the valley by the clouds, selling firewood and wine, laughing wildly. The sky is high in autumn, facing the moon on the pine root pillow, wake up at dawn. He recognized the old forest, climbed the cliff and crossed the ridge, and cut off the withered vines with an axe.”
When Sun Wukong heard this song, his pupils instantly dilated as he muttered to himself,""This…Could this be that woodcutter?”
He took a few steps forward and saw a woodcutter chopping wood with an axe.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong thought to himself that he had finally found Mount Innerheart. He bowed forward and asked,"Greetings, warrior. May I ask where you learned this song from?”
When the woodcutter heard the voice, he threw down his axe and turned around to return the greeting.""This song is called Man Tingfang. It was taught to me by an immortal. That immortal was my neighbor. He saw that my family was working hard and had daily troubles, so he taught me to sing this song when I encountered troubles. One was to relieve my boredom, and the other was to relieve my distress. I had some troubles just now, so I sang this song and didn't want you to hear it.”
Sun Wukong frowned and pretended to be puzzled,""Since you know an immortal, why don't you follow him in cultivation and instead chop wood here?”
The woodcutter replied," My life was bitter. I was raised by my parents from a young age until I was eight or nine years old. Only then did I understand human affairs. Unfortunately, my father died and my mother became a widow. No more brothers and sisters, only I, helpless, sooner or later to serve. Now that his mother was old, he did not dare to abandon her. It was convenient to cut some firewood in the mountains, buy a few coins, cook and make their own food, arrange some tea and rice to support their mother, so they could not cultivate.”
Sun Wukong pretended to be surprised and asked anxiously,""I hope you can point out the residence of that immortal so that I can pay him a visit.”
"Not far, not far," said the woodcutter. This mountain was called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and there was a Crescent Three Stars Cave in the mountain. There was an immortal in the cave, and his name was Patriarch Subhuti. The number of disciples that Patriarch had gone out was also countless. There were still thirty to forty people who cultivated under him. Follow that path to the south for seven or eight miles and you'll reach his house.”
When Sun Wukong heard this, he was even more certain that there was something fishy about this woodcutter.
Firstly, when this woodcutter saw a monkey asking him a question, not only was he not afraid, he even answered him enthusiastically.
Secondly, he did not cultivate with the immortals, but he knew all about the disciples of the immortals. Could a mortal know about the situation in the Divine Immortal Sect?
Thirdly, the woodcutter said that the reason he didn't cultivate was because he was busy chopping firewood to support his mother. Wasn't this reason very laughable?
Combining the above points, he could conclude that this woodcutter was a guide who had specially waited for him here so that he could lead him to Patriarch Subhuti's Crescent Tristar Cave!
"In that case, thank you, warrior. Farewell!”Sun Wukong bid farewell to the woodcutter and walked according to the path he had instructed.
After crossing a hill and walking for about seven to eight li, they saw a cave abode standing in front of them.
