Chapter 86 The Monkey King is Born! Will Their Past Romance Be Continued?!
Flower and Fruit Mountain.
"Where am I?!"
Inside the stone embryo, Erming's consciousness was in a state of chaos.
He clearly remembered that just a moment ago he was riding a horse in the Imperial Stables.
Why did everything suddenly go black?
Are we trapped in this hard, immovable rock?
Before he could figure it out,
A strange and gentle energy slowly enveloped them.
He felt an irresistible drowsiness, and his consciousness quickly sank into darkness.
One day,
The once clear sky suddenly changed color!
A blinding bolt of lightning struck without warning, hitting the giant rock on the mountaintop!
"Squeak—!"
The monkeys playing in the mountains were so frightened that they screamed and fled.
Immediately afterwards,
The second, the third...
Each bolt of lightning was thicker and more terrifying than the last, striking forty-nine times in total!
When the last bolt of lightning struck...
A deafening roar echoed from the mountaintop.
"Snap—!"
A massive boulder on the mountaintop exploded with a deafening roar, and amidst the flying debris, a black figure leaped out from the smoke and dust.
It turned out to be a black horse with glossy black fur and golden eyes!
"The Monkey King has been born! The Monkey King has been born!"
The monkeys hiding nearby were stunned for a moment, then burst into enthusiastic cheers and rushed forward.
They surrounded the still somewhat bewildered Erming in the middle.
Erming scratched his head blankly, looking at his furry paws.
He also felt a surge of immense power within his body, far exceeding anything he had ever experienced before.
My mind is still a little foggy.
How did I... become a stone monkey? And even the Monkey King?
"But who cares!"
Amidst the cheers and fawning of the monkeys, Erming quickly accepted his new identity.
They moved into the Water Curtain Cave.
He lived the carefree life of the Monkey King, eating large chunks of meat, drinking large bowls of wine, and living like a god.
However, this good fortune did not last long.
One day,
The monkeys were feasting and laughing merrily. The old monkey finished his cup of fruit wine, laughing and laughing.
Suddenly his head lolled to the side, and he stopped breathing.
The laughter and chatter came to an abrupt halt.
A shadow called death quietly enveloped all the monkeys.
Erming was stunned.
Looking at that body that was rapidly losing its temperature, I felt a sudden tightness in my chest.
At this time,
A 'tool monkey' shakily stepped forward and sighed:
"Your Majesty, we wild monkeys in the mountains may live a carefree and happy life, but our lifespan is limited. In just a few decades, we will eventually turn into dust."
It looked up into the depths of the clouds, its eyes revealing boundless longing:
"Unlike those immortals who dwell in the heavens, living as long as heaven and earth, possessing boundless magical power, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening!"
"That's true freedom and liberation!"
These words struck Erming like a thunderbolt.
The magnificent celestial palace I had seen in the sky, and the boundless power of the great beings of the primordial era.
It came to mind again.
More importantly, he remembered his original purpose for crossing the world: to find the reincarnated Little Dance Sister!
"To become an immortal... Do you know how to become an immortal?"
Erming suddenly stood up, his golden eyes fixed intently on the tool monkey.
The old monkey quickly bowed:
"Your Majesty, my Flower Fruit Mountain is located overseas, and the immortals are hard to find."
However, I have heard that...
From there, after landing, a thousand two hundred li to the west, there is a mountain called "Nine Peaks," which is shaped like a lotus platform.
Occasionally, auspicious and bright light would rise from the mountains, illuminating the heavens.
Those who are fortunate enough to see that light will have all their misfortunes vanished and will be blessed with good fortune!
It is the abode of a true immortal!
Erming was deeply moved.
Immortal Mountain!
If I can find the immortals and learn their skills, not only will I be able to live forever, but I might also be able to find Sister Xiaowu even faster!
The next day, Erming bid farewell to the monkey troop he was reluctant to leave.
They built a simple wooden raft and headed straight for the mainland.
After logging in,
He trekked through mountains and rivers, traveling for nine days and nine nights.
Finally, nine strange peaks came into view in the distance.
Enveloped in mist, it indeed resembled a giant lotus platform connecting heaven and earth.
Upon entering the territory of Jiufeng Mountain,
He then felt refreshed and clear-headed, and time seemed to slow down.
"We came to the right place! This is truly a divine place!"
He was secretly delighted.
However, the sacred mountain was shrouded in mist and clouds, and he searched for a long time but could not find the way up.
He had no choice but to settle down in a bustling town at the foot of the mountain.
I'd like to gather some information first.
Upon entering the town, Erming was stunned by the sight before him.
Shops lined both sides of the street.
There were vendors hawking their wares, opera singers, acrobats, and... well, he was a monkey trainer!
Erming instinctively shrank his neck.
He quickly pulled the ill-fitting coarse cloth robe around his neck tighter.
Stretch your neck,
I stared wide-eyed at the sight of everything around me, feeling dazzled and finding everything new and exciting.
"No wonder Sister Xiaowu didn't want to come back after entering a human city back then..."
He muttered to himself,
But my stomach growled at the most inopportune moment.
Following an enticing aroma, I arrived at the entrance of a restaurant.
Before even stepping inside,
He was chased out by a sharp-eyed waiter with a broom:
"Go away! Where did this dark horse come from? Get out of here!"
"Don't get in the way of these old men doing business!"
Erming grinned angrily, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
If this were Douluo Continent, these ants would have been smashed into mincemeat by him with a single slap!
But thinking of the vast and desolate waters ahead, he forced himself to endure it.
Just then,
A faint yet somewhat familiar pleading voice came from the street corner:
"Grandpa, please have mercy... give me some food, I haven't eaten for three days..."
That sound...
Erming shuddered violently and turned his head sharply to look.
There was a little beggar, his clothes tattered and his face covered in mud and grime.
It was huddled in the corner, reaching out its dirty little hands to passersby.
Although his appearance was slovenly,
But those eyebrows and eyes, especially those pink eyes...
"Sister Xiaowu!"
Erming cried out in surprise, rushed over, and excitedly grabbed the little beggar's shoulder.
"Ah! You...you let me go!"
The little girl was startled by him.
Although I felt a strange sense of familiarity and closeness to this black monkey, I was mostly terrified and struggled desperately.
The commotion immediately caught the attention of a bald-headed man not far away.
He came over carrying a leather whip, cursing and swearing:
"Who the hell are you? Let go of my daughter!"
The little beggar trembled violently upon hearing the voice.
Like a startled fawn, she suddenly grabbed Erming's tattered sleeve tightly and cried out in a sob:
"Help me! Help me! He's not my dad! He's a bad guy! He'll kill me!"
"You little bastard, how dare you talk nonsense!"
The bald-headed man flew into a rage and raised his whip to strike.
"roar--!"
Erming's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he turned around and kicked with great force!
"Bang—!"
The bald man flew backward like a tattered sack, crashing hard into the corner of the wall, groaning and unable to get up for a long time.
He struggled and screamed:
"Help! Help! The demon monkey is killing people!"
Whoosh,
Seven or eight more men wielding sticks rushed out from the depths of the alley; they were clearly accomplices.
Erming initially wanted to go on a killing spree, but remembering the vastness of the primordial world, he suppressed the urge to tear them to pieces.
He had no choice but to spit fiercely at the bald-headed man.
He scooped up the terrified beggar child, his body suddenly swelling to reveal his true form as a giant ape several meters tall.
With a roar, he leaped and bounded several times.
It crashed through the town's walls and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.
