Chapter 204 The Changes of Sunflower

Travel around the world to the west, look to Buzhou and the Five Elements Mountains in the south.

Xu Xuanzhi, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe, sat in front of Sun Wukong and told Sun Wukong everything he had seen and heard in Huaguo Mountain. Monkey Sun was angry at the bottom of the mountain and complained non-stop.

"I, Old Sun, originally had 47,000 demons under his command, but now there are only 2,000?" The monkey's expression still seemed a little unbelievable.

"To be precise, it's more than four thousand, but half of them have already left Huaguo Mountain." Xu Xuanzhi said slowly.

He told everything he knew from the monkey grandson: "Back then, Erlang Shen and the Seven Brothers of Meishan burned a fire on Huaguo Mountain. Not only did it burn the mountain, but also most of the monkeys. Dead. Only a handful of people are left alive, and they are old, weak, sick and disabled."

"Alas! Time is also fate! It was all my fault back then that caused my monkey grandson..." Sun Wukong felt discouraged at the bottom of the mountain, unable to move no matter how hard he struggled.

On the Five Elements Mountain, the Buddha stickers are shining, blooming with rays of light, and the golden lotus is hanging down, which seems to contain the monkey's overestimation.

The Buddha pressed him to Nanzhan Buzhou to make him atone for his sins. No matter how easy-talking the Jade Emperor was, he still had to be punished in a cosmetic way.

As for the monkeys and monkeys on Huaguo Mountain that are not extinct, it can be considered that Erlang Shen showed mercy and left some of them for Sun Wukong. Otherwise, just those grass-headed gods can ensure that not a single monkey survives on the mountain or down the mountain.

All of this can only be blamed on Monkey Sun, who had some abilities back then, but failed to control his own whims. He was responsible for causing endless disasters.

"But fortunately, if you set up a maze on the mountain, my monkeys can come out to play without fear of the hunters in danger. When I return to Huaguo Mountain, I will lead them to live in peace."

The monkey is still thinking about what he will be like after coming out from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, but unfortunately his destiny has been determined, and his future journey has been arranged by heaven.

One person and one monkey chatted freely for a long time before Xu Xuanzhi returned to Jinshen Lake.

But this time when he came back, he saw many mountain elves and wild monsters gathering in front of the maze of lakeside formations, slowly waiting for the sunflowers to spit out spherical sunlight, and then swallowed the sunlight into their bellies.

He took a closer look and saw that these mountain spirits and wild monsters were all connected to him. If they become evil in the future and cause harm to others, there will still be a cause and effect that will be recorded on their heads. Although he is no longer involved in karma... but God cannot let him do whatever he wants!

Xu Xuanzhi's eyelids twitched immediately, thinking how could he forget such a thing.

Sunflowers can absorb the power of the sun and produce sunlight... isn't this the essence of the sun?

Every "sunshine" those mountain spirits and wild monsters eat is equivalent to several years of cultivation, and the effect is still there in a day or two.

Moreover, Xu Xuanzhi, as a veteran player of Plants vs. Zombies, has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder in forming formations. In order to make the formation look better, he planted hundreds of sunflowers.

If he leaves it alone for a year, maybe a few thousand-year-old monsters will appear here.

If he keeps ignoring it, maybe some of these mountain elves and wild monsters will become demons.

"No, we have to find a way to place them."

Xu Xuanzhi frowned slightly. When he first planted sunflowers, the plants spit out pure sunlight. Unexpectedly, when he saw them today, they had become climate and spit out the essence of the sun.

Now he doesn't look for opportunities to resettle these wild monsters. When they become sensible, they will naturally do things in his name. If they do good deeds, that's okay, but if they do evil deeds, some great virtuous cultivator might grab them by the neck and scold them in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Xuanzhi put all the sunflowers into the portable universe with a slight movement of his fingers.

The waiting mountain elves were shocked when they saw this, and immediately sat up and looked back. After they discovered Xu Xuanzhi's figure, they kowtowed like a human being, as if they wanted to become their disciples.

"Don't be like this. I don't accept disciples, and I have no intention of teaching you. If you want to follow a righteous path, just follow me."

After Xu Xuanzhi finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards Mingyun Cave.

Seeing this, these jackals, tigers, leopards, deer, birds, and mice also quickly gathered in formation and followed Xu Xuanzhi in huge groups.

In recent years, Mingyun Cave, a monastery with a worldly overhaul, has attracted more and more mortals to settle around Yangcheng. They just want to find peace and tranquility.

There is an endless stream of pilgrims who come here to offer incense and pray for blessings every day. No matter dignitaries or ordinary people, they all come here with a smile on their faces to pray for blessings and fulfill their wishes.

Since the last severe drought, people have no shortage of food and have begun to improve their quality of life. Not to mention how wonderful their life is now, at least they can live and work in peace and contentment.

Therefore, these people worship Mingyun Cave and hold it in their hearts. As for the more powerful immortal master in Jinshen Lake, although they knew him, they had never met him and could not recognize him.

But today, these pilgrims watched with extremely shocked expressions as they watched the handsome Taoist in purple star robes take steps, one step at a time, slowly towards the gate of Mingyun Cave.

Behind him, many forest beasts with clear eyes were following, frightening the pilgrims to cling to the wall, not daring to take a breath.

But these tigers, leopards and jackals just glanced at the pilgrims on the road, snorted and turned aside, closely following the Taoist's footsteps.

"Is this also an immortal master? That big insect that eats people and the jackal that harms people actually seems to be a vegetarian and doesn't even look at us..."

"Yes, yes! It seems that Master Ye Xian is really good at Taoism. To have such a friend..."

Many pilgrims began to whisper as hundreds of animals, large and small, passed by. The squirrel standing on the deer's back turned its head, glanced at the pilgrims in confusion, and then hummingly ran to the deer's antlers to look at the quiet scenery on the mountain.

Not long after, Xu Xuanzhi was already approaching the cave. When a small Taoist boy saw Xu Xuanzhi and was about to stop him, a young Taoist next to him saw this and hurriedly came to Xu Xuanzhi.

"Master Xu Xian, we are waiting for you!"

This young Taoist had met Xu Xuanzhi back then and knew that Mingyun Cave's current status was all due to this unfathomable existence.

Some time ago, Uncle Ye even said in Mingyun Cave that Island Master Xu had transcended the world and become an immortal, becoming a free and carefree true immortal in this world.

If these newly recruited Taoist disciples ruin Island Master Xu's interest, they will definitely be punished.

So, under the leadership of the young Taoist, the Taoist in purple star robes led hundreds of animals towards the interior of Mingyun Cave.

In just a few steps, Ye Changning went out to greet him with a happy face. I saw that he had now put on an exquisite blue robe, and his face was radiant, not as bad as the last time they met. His cultivation has also been greatly improved, and he has entered the realm of real people at the first level of the tower.

"Island Master Xu, I haven't seen you for many years. Today you are here in person. Pindao couldn't greet you in advance, so please forgive me in person." Ye Changning hurriedly welcomed Xu Xuanzhi to the Taoist Palace inside the cave.

The group of jackals, tigers and leopards are specially guarded by Taoists to prevent them from doing harm to others.
