Chapter 19
3rd POV
--Journey to the West World--
After all, it is his first time in a fantasy world.
"Lying Beak!" Nobita took out this gadget again.
"What treasure is this? Was it made from some divine bird?"
Wukong didn't know how this item would help his escape.
Nobita just chuckles hearing his question.
"It's not a divine item, just a gadget made in the future of my world."
Saying that, Nobita put the Lying Beak on his face.
After Nobita putting the gadget on, he did not use it immediately. Instead he tried it first, to see if it still works on something magical.
After all, the world level here is not low, and unlike the wandering earth, or the Marvel world where he only changed the reality of a machine. It is a world dominated by immortals capable of incredible magical feats.
In such a situation where the rules of the world are different, he didn't know if the Lying Beak can still work?
"In a minute, a magical peach will fall from the sky." Nobita says to try the gadget.
Sun Wukong on the side was stunned.
"...What are you talking about?"
...
Heavenly Court, Nantianmen.
Mo Liqing stood expressionlessly in front of the huge immortal gate. Looking around suspiciously.
The place he guarded was empty, unusually deserted.
After calming his face for a while, Mo Liqing sat down, cursing someone.
"It's too much! Even last time, I was the one who guarded the Garden of Immortal Peaches! I have to do this boring job again! Isn't this bullying!"
The Peach Festival is a festival prepared by the Queen Mother. Every time it is held, all immortals gather together, singing and dancing peacefully.
However, this garden is one of the most important places of the heavenly court.
Even if only a single peach grows, someone still needs to guard it.
As the Four Mo Generals, Mo Liqing was sent to do this chore every time, but it made him very angry.
However, this is his own fault.
'I should not have drunk that much alcohol that day.' He laments.
'Why did I lift that dancing fairy's skirt in my drunken state.' He wants to cry remembering that incident.
Because of that incident every time after the Peach Festival meeting, the Jade Emperor asks him to guard the Garden of Immortal Peaches.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Mo Liqing took out a box.
When he opened it, he saw a peach inside.
And it was a six thousand years old peach.
Peaches of Immortality are divided into three thousand years of ripening, six thousand years of ripeness, and nine thousand years of ripeness.
The older it is, the more precious it becomes.
Although he guards the Garden, his status still remains, so he was still given this precious peach.
Looking at the peach in his hand, his mouth watered in anticipation of eating it.
"They don't even let me drink anymore, letting me guard the Garden everytime? I still want to drink, damnit!"
Mo Liqing looked around to see if anyone was there. Once he confirmed he was alone, he took a bottle of wine from his pocket, which he had secretly taken from the festival.
Inside, it contained what he had been asking for a long time from the immortal officials.
For this jug of wine, he also sacrificed pride as a general.
Three minutes passed as he admired the bottle that held his elixir.
When he opened the bottle, Mo Li Qing he first smelled the heavenly scent of his wine.
"Ummm…." He almost moans in his manly voice.
Although the wine bottle is small, the inside of the container is expanded using their magical techniques. To store more wine.
After inhaling the fragrant aroma of the wine, he poured some into his mouth. Unable to contain his thirst, he drank so much that even ordinary immortals would have become dizzy.
"My love! You taste just as delightful as the last time I drank you."
However, as he reached for his peach, his unsteady hand missed, and it tumbled down toward the earth.
"No! My peach!"
But the peach fell from his hand and rolled straight into the clouds.
...
"Oh! Its coming down!"
Just when Sun Wukong was confused.
He saw a small black dot smashed down towards Nobita's position in the sky.
Nobita waved his hand calmly.
The speed of the peach's fall suddenly reduced, and it slowly floated to Nobita's hand.
"That is a Peach of Immortality!?" Wukong was astonished.
Nobita was quite interested in that.
He had always only heard in the movies and read in stories that eating a peach can grant someone immortality. It also gave Wukong one of his Seven immortalities.
It looked like an ordinary big peach.
Nobita took a bite and felt a strong energy poured into his body...
The powerful celestial aura made Nobita feel that his self-generating power was also growing.
Unlike using points to strengthen, this kind of power does not increase Nobita's talents.
But it increased the speed of his strengthening by quite a bit.
The feeling is like bathing in warm spring water, and the pores all over the body are soothed.
So refreshing!
"It tastes so good!" Nobita exclaims happily.
"Gulu~gulu"
Wukong's stomach rumbled seeing Nobita eating his favorite fruit.
He is a monkey and loves fruits. Especially Peaches.
He used to eat a lot of peach.
However, in the days of being sealed for more than 200 years, let alone peaches, he has not eaten any food. He could only taste the dry grasses which he used to trim with his teeth.
"Do you want one too?"
Nobita asked, seeing the longing look on his face.
"In a minute, another peach of immortality will fall on my in this place."
...
At the Garden of Immortal Peaches, Mo Liqing looked at the empty clouds with a look of despair.
He just lost his treasure?
However, the cloud layer is not an ordinary cloud, it is a passage connecting heaven and earth.
Once the something passes through it, it becomes almost impossible to locate the item back.
Except certain immortals who have permits to leave Heaven, but even they will find it hard to find one small peach if they fall through them.
But he does not have that permit.
'To violate the rules or not?'
Just when Mo Liqing was struggling to decide whether to offend the heavens for a peach.
Behind him, Mo Lihong's voice sounded.
"Mo Liqing, it should be too lonely to stay all by yourself, right? Brother, I'll accompany you~"
Mo Liqing turned around and looked, and sees Mo Lihong was also carrying a box.
He walked over with a smile.
"Brother Lihong!"
Mo Liqing was a little moved for a while, thinking his brother-in-arm has come to accompany him in his lonesome duty.
"Huh? You have already eaten your peach? I wanted to enjoy it with my brother~"
Mo Lihong saw the empty box in Mo Liqing's hands.
Hearing this, black lines formed in Mo Liqing's face and he became more depressed."
"I didn't eat it! My Peach! It fell down the clouds!"
Saying that, he pointed to the clouds under his feet.
"??? fell off? Why are you so careless? You are one of the Mo Generals of the Heaven! Don't do such silly mistakes to sully our name!"
"It was an….accident!"
Mo Lihong had a straight face.
"We are the Four Mo Generals of Heaven, how could we make such a mistake? Wouldn't it be ridiculous if others hear what you did? Besides, you just had to hold it properly, how could you miss it..."
While speaking, Mo Lihong also took out a peach from his box.
As he was speaking, his hand shook and the peach fell into the clouds and disappeared.
Mo Liqing: "Yes! That's how it fell!"
Mo Lihong: "!!".
When the second peach appeared in front of the two of them.
Sun Wukong suddenly understood.
"Whatever you say wearing that item comes true??" His jaws drop like a certain lightning 'god'.
Buddha's talks also came true… but even that wasn't so outrageous. Buddha spoke with care and made certain things happen by going along the will of the heaven… not randomly spouting anything and making them real.
At this moment, he was suddenly full of confidence in Nobita's rescue of himself.
Nobita held the peach in his hand and wanted to give it to Sun Wukong.
But he is still sealed, he will let him enjoy the peach as a celebratory gift.
Thinking of this, he put away the peach in his hand.
"I'll get you out first, and then let's enjoy the peach together properly."
"No problem! Just get me out quickly!"
Sun Wukong waited excitedly.
"A glitch appears in the seal placed on the Five Elements Mountain, causing it to stop working for one minute."
Nobita thought for a while and said.
As soon as the voice fell, the two only felt that the surrounding ground began to vibrate.
At first, there was only a slight tremor, and the stones on the ground swayed slightly, and then the tremors became more and more serious.
Nobita also quickly flew into the air.
Taking a closer look, the mountain of Wuzhi Mountain shook violently.
Sun Wukong only felt that the power that once suppressed him was getting looser and looser.
The power that was being suppressed inside his body for Two Hundred years finally lost its effect.
Sun Wukong tried to move his body, and found that although the seal was loose, it was still somewhat difficult.
"What's the matter? I still can't get out!"
Nobita calmly sensed the mountain and replies.
"Don't worry, the seal is very powerful. It's causing my gadget's effect to work more slowly than usual, so we still have some time left."
Wukong kept struggling.
But Nobita didn't panic at all.
Suddenly, a giant golden silhouette of Buddha appears above the Five Elements Mountain, which appears to be losing its size.
The gravel on the mountain kept shaking off.
For two hundred years, the shrubs and moss that had grown on Wuzhi Mountain began to shatter under this golden light.
Smoke is everywhere.
The Five Elements Mountain visibly lost its grandeur and finally subsided.
"boom!"
Finally, when the power of the seal declined to the limit, Sun Wukong also mobilized his own strength to break open the stone that had wrapped him for two hundred years.
He quickly soar to the sky!
"Hahahaha! I, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equal to the Heavens! Am finally free… hahhahahah!!!!"
At this moment, the feeling of freedom almost drove him crazy!
As his powers flowed uninterrupted for the first time in two hundred years, the brilliance of Sun Wukong displayed its full might.
The originally messy hair has also begun to become smooth.
A red armor gradually starts forming on his body!
Even Nobita couldn't help but think that the current Monkey King looked cool!
That oppressive aura would have made ordinary people feel that this was the Great Sage Monkey King!
After stretching his limbs for a few more minutes, Sun Wukong finally flew down to Nobita's side.
"Thank you very much for your kindness! You have freed me from my imprisonment. I can never repay this favor, so please, feel free to ask if you ever need my help."
Sun Wukong has never served anyone in his life.
His teacher, Puti Zhusi, a Taoist master (Master Bodhi in some stories), taught him many skills, showed him the meaning of respecting others if someone help you and gave him a name. Such kindness was enough to earn the respect of even the lawless Sun Wukong.
Nobita, standing in front of him, is still a child, but Sun Wukong is nothing if not grateful.
"I'm free!" A voice comes from the Five Elements Mountain.
"Buddha, you asshole!! I'm so thrilled that you've decided to force me into this. Truly, it has become the highlight of my existence. I'll make sure to thank you profusely—just come here. I'll show you how grateful I am by dropping on you for two fucking hundred years."
Nobita was about to say a few words to Sun Wukong, and took out the peach to reply to him.
A childlike voice sounded in their ears.
The two looked towards the source of that voice.
However, in the middle of the disappearing Five Elements Mountain, a... golden palm remains suspended in the air!
"Buddha's golden palm??!"
This mountain was originally a part of the Buddha's golden body, and it is not surprising that it changed back to its original form.
It's just... how can this palm speak by itself? And full of foul language.
Cursing his handless body??
Seeing that palm, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.
"Bah! You crushed me for two hundred years! But you'll get to live for a few more years."
As he said that, he also took out a staff, the Ruyi Jingu Bang that he had not used for many years from his ear!
Nobita narrowed his eyes.
Look carefully at the weapon in the hands of Sun Wukong. After so many years in the ear, has it become dirty from earwax?
The golden palm looked at Sun Wukong who was barely controlling his urge to smash the golden hand into pieces, and kept shaking with excitement.
"Sun Wukong! I didn't do that willingly! That asshole Buddha, threw me from the space into the world to suppressed you! You think I wanted that??
I couldn't move because of his seal, I wasn't even given a time limit! I didn't get to rest in these two hundred years. Its been so difficult for me, I have longed to quit this job.
"Booooo… You slave driver! You didn't even pay me for doing your job after all those overtime hours!"
Saying that, the golden palm actually started to cry. The cry of a child was heard throughout the valley.
At this moment, even Nobita became confused.
Is this hand for real?
Part of the Buddha's golden body from the world of Journey to the West, cursing the Buddha for forcing him into a job unwillingly, throwing a tantrum like children.
What style is this?
Is this still a part the Buddha's golden body?
Involuntarily, Nobita touched the gadget on his face.
Maybe that glitch changed the attributes of Buddha's golden hand?
Sun Wukong, who was on the side, was going to kill this thing that had suppressed him for two hundred years. Hearing its cry, he wavered in his decision.
"..."
The Golden Hand cried for a while, venting his pent-up emotions.
Afterwards, he spoke directly to the two of them.
"Hey, guys?? I will work for that asshole no more, he didn't respect me enough to even give me the right to choose my life. From today onwards, I refuse to do anything for him at all! I will never work for that self-righteous demon. We can't let him have his way any longer! Let us show him what we are capable of!"
Sun Wukong squeezed the golden hoop stick in his hand, and his palm also exerted a little force.
Buddha...
"He's making me hate him even more!!" Wukong growls.
He was also touched by the words of Golden Hand.
...
At the same time, in a secret realm close to the Earth.
Buddha was chanting a Sanskrit mantra in his deep meditation.
He stops suddenly.
He looks towards a direction with a peaceful expression on his face.
