Chapter 742: Lotus Lantern + Journey to the West - Tang Monk's Flesh 2

"Ah?" Yang Chan said innocently, "It's okay. There is my statue on Mount Huashan, and it has my divine power. Nothing should happen."

"Well... in principle, that's right. But if the Jade Emperor is serious about it, you will be considered derelict in your duty." Ruyi reminded, "You'd better stay for a few days just to pretend."

"Why do I feel like you are disgusted with me coming back this time? Do you want to drive me away?" Yang Chan narrowed her eyes and looked at Ruyi thoughtfully. Ruyi blinked guiltily, but quickly calmed down. The matter of the Journey to the West was not a small matter, and it didn't matter how a person from another world like her got involved. She was alone anyway, and she could bear the consequences whether she died or was thrown out of the world.

But Yang Chan is different. If she gets involved, it may very likely trigger a series of impacts. Ruyi doesn't want to bear the consequences of others, so she absolutely cannot let Yang Chan get involved.

The Journey to the West is a big event, and it is related to almost all the Western gods, Buddhas and saints in heaven. Yang Chan, a mere Third Holy Mother, cannot handle such a huge catastrophe.

"Forget it, I'll just tell you the truth. I have things to do, but I can't let you get involved in this matter, so..." Speaking directly is always more effective than hiding things.

After listening to Ruyi's explanation and looking at Ruyi's serious and irrefutable expression, Yang Chan realized that what Ruyi was talking about must be a big deal. After confirming again and again that Ruyi would not let her know and did not want her to get involved, Yang Chan finally obediently left Huaguoshan and went to Huashan.

When the news that Erlangshen decided to marry the third princess reached heaven, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were furious. The Queen Mother even went to Guanjiangkou in person to warn Erlangshen that if he married the third princess, he would be in endless pain from then on.

However, Erlang Shen did not listen to the Queen Mother's warning. The Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor had no choice but to order all the gods in heaven not to attend Erlang Shen's wedding. Although no gods attended, Erlang Shen's wedding was still very lively. What Yang Jian did not expect was that, just as the Queen Mother said, from the day of the wedding, Yang Jian began to fall into endless pain.

After marriage, the third princess seemed like a different person. Not only did she become more unruly, she also disliked Yang Jian's brothers and friends. She hoped that she would be the only one in Erlang Shen's world.

Because of the third princess, Nezha and Yang Jian became estranged; Yang Chan was also forced to leave Guanjiangkou because she felt that Yang Jian was too confused in his emotions; the Meishan brothers also returned to Meishan in order not to embarrass Yang Jian.

At this point, besides Xiaotian Dog, the third princess was the only one left by Yang Jian's side. Originally, the third princess was barely satisfied with this, but she did not expect that after Yang Jian had no one else around him, she began to look up at the moon in the sky every night, missing the fairy Chang'e on the moon.

The Third Princess, who was already possessive and jealous, naturally could not accept the fact that her husband had someone else in his heart, and she became even crazier. The crazier she got, the more Yang Jian tried to escape; the more Yang Jian tried to escape, the crazier the Third Princess got. The two of them had only been married for a few days before they fell into a vicious cycle of mutual torture. They became a complete negative example, and were used by the Queen Mother to educate the gods in heaven.

The original plot was that Yang Jian was named Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun because of his control of the Weak Water. During the process of controlling the water, he fell in love with the third princess and finally got married. After Yang Jian got married, Yuanshi Tianzun sent an edict, asking Yang Jian and others to help King Wu defeat King Zhou. Now everything has been disrupted by Ruyi's unintentional actions.

Yang Jian became Erlang Shen after the Conferred Gods, and married the Third Princess also after the Conferred Gods, which was many years later than the original plot. So now without the Conferred Gods as a buffer, Yang Jian's marriage with the Third Princess became even worse. For this reason, he began to drink all day and lived in a daze.

Yang Jian became confused, and his heavenly eyes that could see the true nature of all things in the world were no longer a threat to Ruyi. His marriage to the third princess trapped Yang Jian in Guanjiangkou. Without the threat of Yang Jian, Ruyi finally began to prepare for her plan.

After crossing the sea according to Ruyi's instructions, Sun Wukong soon found Bodhi Patriarch, the incarnation of Jade Ding Zhenren, and became his apprentice. Sun Wukong was born with good talents and quickly learned the skills taught by Bodhi Patriarch, and became a powerful earth immortal from a spiritual stone monkey born and raised by nature.

Although Sun Wukong, who became a terrestrial immortal, had a high level of cultivation, his personality was still the same as before, bold and playful. Patriarch Bodhi was afraid that he would get into trouble in the future, and seeing that he had already learned the skills he taught him, he ordered him to go back immediately and not to say that he was his disciple in the future.

Sun Wukong didn't know why, but he felt aggrieved and sad, but he finally obediently left Master Bodhi's Taoist temple and returned to Huaguo Mountain.

"The king is back, the king is back!" The monkeys in Huaguo Mountain came running to Ruyi happily to inform Ruyi that Sun Wukong was back. Ruyi looked up and saw that Sun Wukong, who had grown up a lot, was saying something proudly surrounded by other monkeys.

When he saw Ruyi, Sun Wukong bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you, fairy, for helping take care of the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain. I, Sun Wukong, thank you very much." He had heard from the monkeys that during the more than ten years when he was away from Huaguo Mountain, it was Ruyi who helped take care of and teach the monkeys. Sometimes when other monsters attacked, it was Ruyi who helped solve the problem.

"No need to be so polite. I am very happy living in Huaguo Mountain. I just hope that the Monkey King will let me live here after he comes back." The cave where Ruyi lives now is the Water Curtain Cave. She did not live directly in Sun Wukong's original cave, but she also occupied Sun Wukong's territory.

Fortunately, Sun Wukong was kind-hearted and didn't think about these things at all. When he heard Ruyi say that she wanted to stay in Huaguo Mountain, he naturally nodded in agreement.

"Please rest assured, fairy. As long as you are willing, you can stay in Huaguo Mountain as long as you want."

"Thank you, Monkey King."

In the following days, Ruyi and Sun Wukong got along very well and their relationship became closer. There were some things Ruyi would not tell Sun Wukong now, not only because Sun Wukong could not understand them now, but also because he was afraid that if he told them out loud, it would change his identity as the person who was to be robbed. If Sun Wukong was not the person who was to be robbed, he would have died long ago with the things he did later, such as making trouble in heaven.

There are still at least five hundred years before the start of Journey to the West. Ruyi cannot just sit there and wait. She plans to find a way to get more useful things for herself first, and the nearest opportunity is when Sun Wukong makes trouble in Heaven.

Everyone wants the peaches from the Queen Mother of the West and the elixir from Laozi.

"First, I have to find a way to learn the art of transformation, and then I have to find the weak water."
