Chapter 114 The First Cleaner of Longhu Mountain
under the tree.
The Great Sage wore sunglasses and the robe that originally belonged to Rongshan, and was playing with a large wooden stick that he had picked up from somewhere.
It looked up at the group of "country bumpkins" shouting in the tree, and a very human-like, disdainful sneer curled at the corner of its mouth.
It's a worldly monkey!
I've followed Wugensheng, seen the Thirty-Six Thieves, eaten KFC in the city, and even raced in a highway service area!
How dare these few monkeys, who only know how to steal bread from tourists, claim to be king in front of it?
joke.
Ha ha.
"Squeak." (Get down.)
The Great Sage pointed his iron rod at the local monkey king and beckoned with his finger.
"Squeak!!" (You're asking for it!)
The local monkey king was enraged. At his command, more than a dozen monkeys rushed down with stones and branches, intending to gang up on the outsider.
Even when surrounded, the Great Sage didn't take off his sunglasses.
It held the stick in one hand and suddenly moved its body.
"Whoosh—"
A blur flashed by.
It didn't tear at the ground like a wild beast, but instead...
He assumed a starting stance.
Stand with your feet apart and focus your energy on your lower abdomen (Dantian).
The wooden stick in his hand suddenly jerked.
"Buzz!!"
A faint, golden stream of energy covered the wooden stick!
It didn't use the monkey's random grabbing, but rather... a stick technique.
Those were moves I learned from watching the Thirty-Six Thieves wield their sticks. Although there were only a few moves, they were enough to deal with these wild monkeys.
This monkey learns things extremely quickly.
The golden energy attached to the stick is its imitation of the Golden Light Mantra of Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of muffled thuds.
The monkeys at the front, before they could even see what was happening, were accurately struck on the buttocks with sticks, screamed, and flew off, hanging from tree branches and swinging on swings.
"squeak?!"
The remaining monkeys were terrified.
Oh no! This...this monkey knows martial arts?
The Great Sage did not stop.
With a push of its feet, it soared into the air, performing three somersaults before landing directly in front of the local monkey king.
The local monkey king was so frightened that he wanted to back away.
But the Great Sage pressed down on its head with one hand.
"Buzz—"
A pale golden aura burst forth from the Great Sage.
That is its foundation, nurtured by Qi for decades in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley. Although it is not as refined as that of human superhumans, it is still powerful enough to frighten wild beasts.
"Squeak..." (Kneels down.)
The Great Sage let out a low roar, took off his sunglasses, and his golden pupils gleamed with the majesty of a king.
"Thump."
The local monkey king's legs went weak.
That was a dual suppression from both bloodline and strength.
It knelt tremblingly on the tree trunk, holding the half-eaten apple it had just snatched above its head as a sign of submission.
Immediately afterward, the Great Sage didn't continue fighting. Instead, he released his grip, straightened the collar of his Taoist robe, put his sunglasses back on, and then...
It took out half of the Snickers bar that it hadn't finished eating yesterday from its pocket and handed it to the Monkey King.
"Squeak?" (Eat?)
This is what Su Wuxian taught it: slap it, then give it a treat.
The Monkey King was stunned.
It sniffed the sweet-smelling object, hesitated for a moment, and then stuck out its tongue to lick it.
The next second, its eyes widened.
good to eat!
What kind of divine food is this?
The Monkey King swallowed the Snickers bar in a few bites, and then immediately changed his expression.
It knelt before the Great Sage, bowed its head respectfully, and even reached out to groom the Great Sage's fur.
This is the highest form of submission among monkeys.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" (Your Majesty! From now on, you are the king!)
Seeing this, the other monkeys also dropped their stones, knelt down in a row, and trembled with fear.
In just ten minutes.
The monkey troop on the back of Longhu Mountain has changed hands.
The Great Sage nodded in satisfaction.
It leaped onto the highest rock, sat cross-legged, and, like an empress dowager, received the worship of the monkeys.
……
Half an hour later.
When Su Wuxian wandered to the back mountain, he saw this strange sight.
As the sun sets, the evening glow paints the mountains and forests red.
The Great Sage, dressed in a Taoist robe and wearing sunglasses, was sitting on the highest rock, with his legs crossed, looking every bit like a godfather.
Surrounding it were dozens of incredibly well-behaved local monkeys.
Some were massaging its legs, some were picking lice off it, and a few were lining up to peel bananas and hand it bottled water.
Standing next to the Great Sage was Wang Ye, who looked utterly hopeless.
Wang Ye was holding a broom and cleaning up the fruit peels and trash left behind by the monkeys.
"Oh, you're really enjoying yourself."
Su Wuxian walked over and couldn't help but laugh.
"Master Su... Master Su."
When Wang Ye saw Su Wuxian, it was as if he had seen a savior; his eyes welled up with tears.
"You've finally arrived."
"This monkey...this monkey is a spirit!"
"It just directed these wild monkeys to make the floor I just swept dirty again! And it made me unscrew its water bottle cap! It can do that itself!"
"squeak!"
Upon seeing Su Wuxian, the Great Sage immediately jumped down from the rock, took off his sunglasses, and ran over with a fawning expression, handing Su Wuxian the best peeled banana he had prepared.
The speed at which they change their expressions is even faster than Sichuan opera.
"Alright, stop with the act."
Su Wuxian took the banana and patted the Great Sage's head:
"Now that you're the boss, you have to keep an eye on your underlings."
"From now on, they're not allowed to steal things from tourists, and they're not allowed to litter. If I see this back hill dirty and messy..."
Su Wuxian pointed at Wang Ye:
"I'll have Master Wang sweep you into the garbage dump."
Wang Ye: "???"
What does this have to do with me?!
The Great Sage understood, immediately turned around, and started squeaking at the monkey troop, even waving his iron cudgel.
The monkeys were so frightened that they immediately scattered and began picking up the fruit peels on the ground.
Their execution ability was even stronger than that of the young Taoist priest Rongshan led.
"Not bad, he's got leadership potential."
Su Wuxian nodded in satisfaction and said to Wang Ye:
"Alright, Xiao Wang, stop complaining."
"Look, with the Great Sage helping to manage things, your workload will be reduced, won't it?"
"This is called... using one monkey to control another."
Looking at the group of monkeys picking up trash, Wang Ye suddenly realized that what Su Ye said made a lot of sense, and he was speechless.
Wang Ye looked at the large broom in his hand, then at the vest he was wearing that read "Longhu Mountain Cleaning," and a wave of sorrow washed over him:
"They're both from out of town, so why is there such a huge difference?"
"How come other people who just arrived already have underlings and can act as bosses? Why am I just sweeping floors and cleaning?"
"Uncle-Master Wang!"
Just then, a young Taoist priest ran over and handed Wang Ye a steamed bun:
"Uncle Rongshan said that if you can't finish sweeping this area, this is what you'll have to eat for lunch."
"I……"
Wang Ye looked at the cold steamed bun, feeling like crying but having no tears.
"Mr. Su...you promised room and board, but all you're offering is steamed buns?"
"Let's go, I'm not teasing you anymore, it's time to eat."
Su Wuxian turned and walked back:
"The cafeteria is serving extra food tonight to celebrate that Longhu Mountain has finally achieved harmony between humanity and nature."
At sunset.
One person, one Taoist priest, one monkey king, and a group of monkeys picking up trash.
This forms a unique scenic line on the back mountain of Longhu Mountain.
