A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

There was nothing wrong in the world, but the monkey came to cause trouble.

Zhang Zhengdao was annoyed.

He knew the monkey hadn't left. It probably just stayed put.

This is related to the monkey's personality. Back when he was learning from a master at the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave, he was very stubborn and wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal!

or……

Taking advantage of the current obscured sky, I might as well go all the way...

Suddenly, Zhang Zhengdao was overcome with malice...

It still won't work. This method of concealing heavenly secrets can probably only fool those gods whose magical powers are not yet strong enough. It probably wouldn't work on Laozi, Buddha, or the Jade Emperor.

I'm so annoyed!

The last time I traveled to Peach Blossom Temple, I was afraid of encountering a naughty monkey. I didn't expect that I would avoid it in the previous life, but in this life I would inexplicably attract the monkey.

What a sin!

Zhang Zhengdao decided to ignore the monkeys.

The autumn wind grows colder day by day, and after the autumn leaves have all fallen, winter will come.

The monkey lingered at the entrance of the Taoist temple every day. Finally, it made up its mind and simply knelt down at the entrance, remaining motionless. It didn't budge an inch even when exposed to wind and sun.

The wolf spirit passed by every day, and one day, after teasing the spider spirit, he walked up to the monkey and sighed, "Brother, how about... I return the copper coins to you, and you can go!"

The Monkey King looked at it and weakly shook his head.

The spider demon looked at the monkey and finally softened her heart.

Since following the Taoist priest, its heart has softened day by day. If it were before, it would probably have stuck a paw directly into the monkey's skull and started sucking its brains.

"Let me get you two cornbread buns!"

He actually pulled out two steamed buns from his pocket and handed them to the Monkey King.

The Monkey King shook his head and said, "After eating cornbread, my heart is no longer sincere. The Taoist priest is testing me."

Zhang Zhengdao, who was sitting in the Taoist temple, almost fell off his chair.

Yes, he taught the fairies how to make many chairs.

Kneeling? That doesn't exist.

The spider demon looked at the Monkey King and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

What a magnificent monkey! Its golden fur and the fact that it can still stand upright after kneeling there for so many days...

Seeing how stubborn the Monkey King was, everyone stopped paying attention to him. The spider demon, however, would often come and give the Monkey King some water.

Winter has finally arrived.

A heavy snowfall covered Mount Qingcheng.

This snowfall made things even harder for the world outside Qingcheng Mountain. The heavy snow eventually turned into a snow disaster, and the affected people continued to flee, making the towns at the foot of the mountain even more desolate.

No one goes to the market to trade anymore.

The Monkey King statue at the entrance of the Taoist temple has also transformed into a snow monkey made of piled-up snow, with only its two eyes occasionally moving to indicate that it is still alive.

The spider was very uneasy. Early in the morning, it eagerly brought a basin of hot water to give to the Monkey King, hoping that drinking the hot water would at least prevent him from freezing to death immediately.

Before it even reached the entrance of the Taoist temple, it heard the wild boar spirit roar.

"The monkey is dead!"

Did the monkey die?

The spider demon flicked her hand, and hot water poured down, splashing several snow holes in the snow beneath her feet. She then ran frantically towards the outside of the Taoist temple.

Their true colors have all been revealed within this sect; they crawl with their feet turned outwards at lightning speed.

When they arrived at the Taoist temple, they finally saw the snowman-like monkey lying to one side.

The spider demon let out a wail, rushed over, picked up the Monkey King with her claws, and ran quickly towards the temple. She begged the Taoist priest to save the monkey.

I don't know why, but seeing the monkey like that made the spider feel very pained.

The wolf spirit said unwillingly from behind, "Little Spider, the monkeys are all dead!"

The spider demon glanced back at the wolf demon and roared, "It's not dead! It's not dead!"

The wild boar spirit chimed in, "The monkey is really dead!"

The spider demon also cursed at the wild boar demon, "You're the one who's dead, you dead pig!"

So everyone fell silent.

It was the Black Tiger Demon, the leader, who stopped the Spider Demon heading towards the Taoist temple. He frowned and looked at the Spider Demon, saying, "Little Spider, are you really going to barge in like this? The Taoist Master dislikes this the most, and besides, the Taoist Master has no intention of taking in this monkey. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

The spider demon hesitated for only a moment before saying, "I will make you a rare delicacy to apologize later."

The black tiger spirit frowned: "This might not be enough!"

Spider Demon: "Then I will give all my savings to the Taoist priest."

The black tiger spirit was taken aback: "You have a secret stash of money?"

The spider demon said, "This is nothing unusual. Everyone saves money on the side. It's not just me. Move aside, let me find the Taoist priest..."

The black tiger spirit stepped aside.

The spider demon swept past like a gust of wind and rushed into the Taoist priest's bedroom.

Looking back at the wild boar spirit, wolf spirit, leopard spirit, and white deer spirit, he asked in a sinister tone, "You all have secret stashes of money?"

The wild boar demon slowly backed away: "Um... big brother, I need to use the restroom, I ate too much just now..."

Before the wild boar demon could finish speaking, the other demon kings scattered in all directions.

The wild boar demon was captured by the black tiger demon.

Then, the entire Taoist temple echoed with pig-like screams.

In the Black Tiger Demon's view, keeping money for oneself is unforgivable. All property in the Taoist temple belongs to the Taoist priest, and all the demons in the temple are under the command of Zhang Zhengdao. This is the Black Tiger Demon's principle.

It is a staunch supporter of Zhang.

Zhang Zhengdao was drinking with Ao Yu.

Ao Yu intended to share a drink with Zhang Zhengdao, but Zhang Zhengdao refused.

Ao Yu panicked and tried to transform into a golden dragon on the spot, but Zhang Zhengdao slapped him down, preventing him from transforming. Remember to kick his leg straight.

Upon seeing this, the white snake indeed...

The Taoist priest was fascinated by demons who had transformed into human form, even a golden dragon like Sister Ao Yu…

"Master Taoist, Master Taoist, help me!"

Suddenly, the door to the palace was blown open by a gust of wind, and then the eight-legged spider demon rushed in, carrying a monkey in its two claws. It was obvious who it was.

Zhang Zhengdao released Ao Yu, and immediately felt a headache coming on.

The spider demon cried out, "Taoist Master, please save the Monkey King! He's so pitiful, sob sob sob... I promise I'll learn to cook even better in the future, even if... even if you just want to drink my juices, I'll do it."

Ao Yu: ...

Zhang Zhengdao: ...

There was no way to avoid it in the end. He couldn't let the monkey die here. If he died here, he would be in big trouble in the future. This was a key figure in the Journey to the West!

According to the book, it should be about ten years before the monkeys reach Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Alright, alright, let's just let the monkey stay here for a while!

"let it go!"

Zhang Zhengdao sighed.

The spider demon was overjoyed and beamed with delight, but as she laughed, juice sprayed from her nose.

Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand dismissively: "Get lost!"

The spider demon carefully put the monkey down, looking at its golden fur with pity. The monkey was so persistent; it was truly endearing!

"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"

The spider demon reluctantly withdrew.

After the spider demon left, Ao Yujian and Zhang Zhengdao looked worried and asked in confusion, "Daoist, it's just a monkey, why is it so difficult!"

Zhang Zhengdao said, "This is no ordinary monkey. It is a celestial stone that existed since the beginning of time. It absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and the light of the sun and moon. After a long period of gestation, it transformed into this stone monkey. It is the essence of the beauty of heaven and earth. It is extraordinary."

He couldn't tell Ao Yu the rest.

Ao Yu opened her mouth, but then remained silent.

Well, in this world, many people are born from different origins. I was just a little snake, but I still became a golden dragon, didn't I? Even when I was born from the best of heaven and earth, well... now I'm not even as good as I was.

After thinking about it, I calmed down.

Zhang Zhengdao called out to the monkey, "Damn monkey, wake up!"

Suddenly, the Monkey King took a long breath, sat up halfway up on the ground, and realized that he was no longer outside the Taoist temple. He turned his head and saw Zhang Zhengdao.

The two of them stared at each other in disbelief.

Monkey King: ...

This……

Weren't they the immortals and maidens who descended from the sky on Flower Fruit Mountain that day?

It was precisely because of this immortal that it conceived the idea of ​​cultivating immortality and then crossed the ocean to reach this Southern Jambudvipa. Could this... be the opportunity that people talk about?

Without saying a word, he immediately turned over and kowtowed.

"Master, please accept my three bows."

Ignoring everything else, before Zhang Zhengdao could even speak, he slammed his head down with three loud bangs.

That was real force!

Three big fleshy bumps immediately appeared on his forehead.

I have a terrible karmic connection with this monkey.

Clearing his throat, Zhang Zhengdao's expression turned serious. He said, "You don't need to call me Master, and I won't accept you as my disciple. You can just listen in when I'm preaching to those demons. Do what you can to help supplement the temple's daily expenses, is that alright?"

The Monkey King was overjoyed. Although he hadn't become a disciple, he was glad that he could still cultivate.
