A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 245 The Six-Eared Macaque

Ji Lin led Yang Jian through time travel to the rooftop of a modern high-rise building.

At this moment, Yao Ji looked blankly at the towering buildings around her. Her memory was still stuck on the moment when the ten golden crows formed the Golden Crow Formation, trying to scorch her and Yang Jian to death.

Due to the nature of time travel, although a long time has passed in the prehistoric world, time is almost negligible in the time tunnel.

Before long, Ji Lin appeared behind Yao Ji with Yang Jian. Yang Jian looked at the familiar figure in front of him, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears: "Mother."

The sound wasn't loud, but it pierced straight into Yao Ji's ears on the empty rooftop.

Upon hearing this, Yao Ji's body jolted and she turned around. The moment her gaze fell upon Yang Jian, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes, followed by tears welling up in her eyes.

"Erlang!" she cried out, her voice trembling with excitement, and she staggered toward Yang Jian.

Yang Jian could no longer suppress his emotions and strode forward to meet her. The mother and son embraced tightly, Yao Ji holding Yang Jian tightly with both hands, as if afraid that this was just a fleeting dream.

Her fingers trembled as she stroked Yang Jian's back, as if trying to confirm that her son was truly by her side.

"My child, you have suffered so much..." Yao Ji choked up, her words filled with heartache and self-reproach.

Once the two had calmed down a bit, Ji Lin used his ability to explain in detail why Yao Ji was in this place and what happened in the prehistoric world after she left.

When Yao Ji heard that Yang Jian was now married, she was filled with excitement. She gently stroked Yang Jian's face, her fingertips touching the marks of time on his face, and her heart ached. She could feel the suffering her son had endured over the years.

Ji Lin thoughtfully gave them some alone time, and then wandered around the modern city in stealth. He soon discovered that his guess was correct: the modern world connected to the prehistoric world was the world of the magical mobile phone.

In the modern world, Ji Lin saw Lu Xiaoqian, who had just entered university, as well as He Lan, You Suowei, and others. They were all still very young, and Ji Lin only glanced at them from afar without disturbing them.

When Ji Lin returned to the rooftop, he saw Yang Jian and Yao Ji chatting and laughing.

When Yang Jian saw Ji Lin return, he immediately prepared to kneel down and pay his respects to repay Ji Lin's great kindness in saving his mother. Ji Lin quickly helped him up and said, "There's no need for such formality between us."

Afterwards, Ji Lin discussed Yao Ji's fate with Yang Jian. Ji Lin suggested that Yao Ji stay in the modern world for a while, because time travel follows the principle of five seconds. No matter how much time has passed in the prehistoric world, Yao Ji has only stayed in the real world for five seconds.

Yang Jian and Yao Ji both agreed. After reluctantly kneeling to say goodbye to his mother, Yang Jian was taken back to the prehistoric world by Ji Lin. When they returned to Guanjiang Estuary, the Third Princess immediately got up and hugged him tightly.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Junior brother, I won't disturb your wedding night tonight. I've already given you a gift, and now I'll give you two another one."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from the system space, which contained two "Spirit Nourishing Pills".

The "Nurturing Spirit Pill" is round and smooth like a pearl, radiating a soft seven-colored light. Its surface has a delicate texture, and every line contains endless life power.

Bring it closer and smell it; a fresh and pleasant fragrance wafts over, mixed with a faint scent of flowers and grass, instantly calming the mind and as if infused with a peaceful and serene power.

With a demigod-like body like Yang Jian, their cultivation level is quite high, while the Third Princess is a dragon. Both of them have very high life levels, making it extremely difficult for them to conceive a life.

However, after taking "Yu Ling Dan", the fertility of both husband and wife will be greatly improved, greatly increasing the chances of conception and giving them the opportunity to welcome the fruit of their love.

Watching Yang Jian and the Third Princess take the pills, Ji Lin stopped disturbing them and left the newlyweds alone. Inside the Yang residence, the banquet was still in full swing. After bidding farewell to everyone, Ji Lin transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Heavenly Court.

During the flight, a piercing cry for help faintly drifted over. Ji Lin's heart tightened, his keen senses instantly spreading out as he quickly pinpointed the source of the sound and changed direction without hesitation.

A monkey was seen struggling to cling to a steep cliff face, its limbs trembling, and loose stones constantly falling from its grasp, clearly in grave danger.

Just as Ji Lin was about to use his magic to save the monkey, his heart trembled the moment his gaze fell upon it—this monkey actually had six ears!

"Could it be the Six-Eared Macaque?" Ji Lin was both surprised and delighted. In this prehistoric world, the Six-Eared Macaque was exceptionally gifted. It was said that it could know the past and future, and see through all things, with unlimited potential.

Without a second thought, Ji Lin stretched out his palm, and his powerful immortal energy transformed into an invisible hand, steadily lifting the Six-Eared Macaque from the edge of the cliff and gently placing it on the safe ground.

The moment the Six-Eared Macaque's feet touched the ground, his legs buckled, and he knelt down with a thud, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much for saving my life, my benefactor!"

Looking at the clever monkey in front of him, Ji Lin had a sudden thought and vaguely considered taking it as a disciple.

The Six-Eared Macaque is one of the Four Chaotic Monkeys. It was born very early and originated from the Chaotic Demon Ape. The Chaotic Demon Ape is one of the three thousand demon gods born from chaos. It existed before the Primordial Era and is in charge of the Law of War.

When Pangu separated heaven and earth, the Chaos Demon Ape attacked him, and his primordial spirit was eventually broken into four parts, which transformed into the four chaotic monkeys that would later become the Spiritual Stone Monkey, the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, the Long-Armed Ape, and the Six-Eared Macaque. Their origins were extremely extraordinary.

The six-eared macaque in front of me was less than four feet tall, with a slightly weak body, thick fur all over its body, a pointed snout and shrunken cheeks, and typical monkey characteristics. The most conspicuous feature was that it had three ears on each side, for a total of six ears.

It possesses supernatural abilities, is good at listening, can discern reason, know the past and future, and understands all things.

Although he once risked his life to secretly listen to Hongjun Laozu preach outside Zixiao Palace because he longed to understand the Dao, he was discovered by Hongjun Laozu, who said, "The Dao is not transmitted to non-humans, and the Dharma is not transmitted to six ears." From then on, he was excluded from the orthodox cultivation methods.

However, Ji Lin believes that "the Dharma is not transmitted to six ears" should be understood as practitioners should focus on their own insights and practice, and should not rely too much on the experience of others or learn by stealing. They should explore the path of cultivation through their own efforts and opportunities, rather than specifically referring to the Six-Eared Macaque.

Ji Lin smiled slightly and asked gently, "You little monkey, have you ever thought about joining a sect of immortals and cultivating the Great Dao?"

The Six-Eared Macaque was taken aback at first, then his eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly kowtowed and said, "If my benefactor is willing to take me in, I would be more than happy to do so!"

Ji Lin nodded in satisfaction and reached out to help the Six-Eared Macaque up: "From this day forward, you will be my disciple, Ji Lin's disciple."

The Six-Eared Macaque existed very early, before the Dao Ancestor Hongjun became a saint. However, because of his innate supernatural power to eavesdrop on the Dao Ancestor's teachings, he was excluded from orthodox cultivation and lived in a daze for a long time, with no one willing to take him as a disciple.

Now that Ji Lin is willing to take it as a disciple, the Six-Eared Macaque is filled with gratitude and finally has the opportunity to embark on the righteous path of cultivation. Overwhelmed with emotion, the Six-Eared Macaque knelt down again and respectfully performed the ceremony of becoming a disciple.
