Chapter 241 Old Friends from Kunlun
Chapter 241 Old Friends from Kunlun
He was bare-chested, and no trace of sweat marred his robust muscles. He stood like an undefeated war god, composed, domineering, and fierce!
"My goodness, this... this is too fierce!" a nine-tailed monster exclaimed. "Divine Skills, what on earth have you stirred up?"
Divine Skills replied, "Lu Wu, whom should I ask if you ask me?"
"Aren't you supposed to be the monitor of Mount of Three Deities? Can't your nine heads see everything?" Lu Wu asked.
Divine Skills rolled his eyes, "You said it, I only monitor Mount of Three Deities, not the Ten Thousand Realms! How would I know what he is..."
"Stop arguing, stop arguing!" another monster shouted.
Divine Skills said, "Ying Zhao, aren't you the best at gossiping? Tell us, who exactly is this guy?"
Ying Zhao, wiping the profuse sweat from his forehead as if caught in a downpour, said, "I... I think I recognize him."
Divine Skills and Lu Wu were startled, "You know him? We've been here for countless eons, never venturing out since the primordial chaos, you know... could he be from the Era of Primordial Chaos?"
While nodding, Ying Zhao added, "Think about it, if he had a head full of flowing hair, wouldn't he look familiar?"
During the conversation, Ying Zhao swiftly chiseled into the ground a figure of a man with flowing hair who very much deserved a beating!
Divine Skills and Lu Wu looked at it and suddenly bristled, exclaiming, "Ah—crap! It's him!"
"Master, those guys seem to recognize you," Sun Wukong said.
Tang Sanzang said, "That doesn't matter, I'll give them a beating first!"
As soon as Tang Sanzang finished speaking, he clenched his fists, and in a flash, his blood surged within him, booming like thunder!
He didn't know Divine Skills, but his brute strength was terrifyingly vast!
Seeing that Tang Sanzang was about to take action again, Ying Zhao quickly shouted, "Tang Sanzang, don't hit us, it's us!"
Tang Sanzang raised his fists!
Lu Wu shouted, "Tang Sanzang, it's us! Don't you remember us?"
Tang Sanzang frowned and looked at them, "I know you?"
The three were taken aback, exchanged glances, and then nodded emphatically, "Of course we know you! Back in the day, you were a regular with us!"
Tang Sanzang was dumbfounded, "A regular? You... ran a brothel?"
The three faces instantly twisted into expressions of strangeness.
Among the three, Lu Wu, relatively composed, stepped forward and formally greeted, "Lu Wu of Mount of Three Deities, offers greetings, Senior Tang!"
Tang Sanzang looked at Lu Wu standing before him and a scene flashed in his mind— a mountain covered in pristine snow, where he seemed to have really met this man!
Lu Wu was perceptive and recognized the issue at once, "Senior Tang, could it be that you have amnesia? Also, where is your hair?"
Tang Sanzang looked up and lamented, tears streaming down his face, "Just like my memory, I don't know what happened, it's just gone!" Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Lu Wu was astounded...
Ying Zhao also stepped forward to greet, "Ying Zhao of Mount of Three Deities, offers greetings, Senior."
Tang Sanzang waved his hand, "Both of you get up. We have no grievances, and I shall not make things difficult for you."
Then Tang Sanzang turned to look at the Beast of Enlightenment.
The Beast of Enlightenment knelt down immediately, tears streaming like rain as it said, "Elder Tang, you have been missing for countless ages, how could we know you would suddenly appear one day. Moreover, you have lost your hair... My eyes were dim, my mind was dull for a moment, and I didn't recognize you. Please have generosity as great as your status, and for the sake of Queen Mother of the West, spare me this once."
The words 'Queen Mother of the West' once again sharply stirred Tang Sanzang.
In an instant, more memories surged forth.
In the Kunlun Mountains, split in three, on the mid-levels of the West Kunlun, high buildings were erected—that was the White Jade Capital created by Queen Mother of the West for humans, also one of the first places where humans arose!
At the summit of Kunlun, a woman clad in feathered garments, with a somewhat silly countenance, stood atop the mountain, seemingly pondering something.
Suddenly, the young woman looked over, then her eyebrows inverted in anger, she transformed from silly to furious and pointed at him, yelling, "Tang Sanzang, you big liar, you lecher, take this!"
Then the memory broke off.
Yet, within those memories, Tang Sanzang found shadows of Lu Wu, Ying Zhao, and the Beast of Enlightenment; they indeed were creatures from Kunlun Mountains.
Convinced that they were not deceivers, Tang Sanzang indeed wanted to know about his past and thus halted his fists, "I have lost my memory, tell me everything you know. Speak well and there's no reward, speak poorly, and it's death and eat your meat, turn into money!"
The Beast of Enlightenment, Ying Zhao, and Lu Wu were suddenly at a loss for words, thinking, Damn, he's still the same bastard, the same old formula, the same old taste, the same scoundrel—Damn it!
Ying Zhao said, "Senior, why don't we sit inside and talk?"
Tang Sanzang was indifferent and nodded, "Let's go."
A large gate appeared on Mount of Three Deities, welcoming Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, and others as they walked in.
What shocked Sun Wukong and the others was that the legendary Barbaric Sacred Mountain was completely barren and dark. The entire mountain was like a huge piece of rusted steel, devoid of any vegetation, lacking in spiritual energy convergence, let alone any spiritual medicine or immortal fowls!
It was only on this iron mountain that there stood a palace forged from black iron, not a large palace, just three courtyards from front to back.
As everyone walked in, Lu Wu served tea, Ying Zhao invited everyone to sit, and the Beast of Enlightenment brought some of its cherished rare tea.
After a casual chat, Ying Zhao noticed the curiosity of Sun Wukong and the others.
Ying Zhao asked, "Are you curious why the three of us Semi-Saints are living in this godforsaken place?"
Sun Wukong and the others nodded vigorously, truly curious.
Logically speaking, although Semi-Saints have transcended the dependence on spiritual energy, who wouldn't like a beautiful scenic place abundant with spiritual herbs—a blessed paradise? Moreover, with the power of the three, creating such a paradise shouldn't be a difficult task.
Ying Zhao shook his head, "We certainly love blessed paradises, we love the feeling of abundant spiritual energy. Back in the day, we practically owned the whole Kunlun Mountains!"
At this, Ying Zhao's eyes sparkled as they turned to the sky, filled with pride and nostalgia.
Sun Wukong, curious, asked, "Wasn't the West Kunlun said to belong to Queen Mother of the West? How did it become yours?"
Ying Zhao sighed, "I'm not talking about just West Kunlun but the entire Kunlun Mountains. Back then, before Queen Mother of the West arrived, we were the kings there!"
Lu Wu then sat down, "Exactly, those days were really the days of gods, whoever I disliked, I would just beat them up."
Zhu Ganglie chuckled, "Didn't you guys get cursed behind your backs a lot?"
Lu Wu pointed at the Beast of Enlightenment, "See that guy? Nine heads—back then, he was known as the supervisor of Kunlun Mountains, more useful than any artifact. Those nine heads could see everything happening in Kunlun Mountains; whoever gossiped about us, I'd just grab this fellow and pay them a warm visit!"
