Chapter 7 The Great Sage Equal to Heaven
The banquet ended.
The guests left one after another.
Yang Tianyou embraced Yao Ji as they gazed up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky. Not far from them, little Yang Jiao rested her head gently on the stone table, lazily swinging her two short legs that barely touched the ground.
Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in Yang Jiao's mind:
[Congratulations, host, on spending a year at Guankou. A first-anniversary gift pack—a ten-pull gacha!]
Yang Jiao, who had been somewhat listless, suddenly perked up and sat up straight in a flash.
I didn't expect to receive so many magical artifacts from the gods today, and the system even sent me a gift pack.
What a pleasant surprise! She exclaimed eagerly:
"Draw it quickly!"
The familiar panel slowly appeared before my eyes, and after several heart-pounding spins, it finally stopped, displaying a striking line of text:
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 8 fragments of the Guanjiang Estuary Land God, 1 fragment of the Three-Headed Dragon, and 1 fragment of the Fuxi Divine Echo.]
Yang Jiao's eyes lit up when she saw the rewards.
"Open the fragments panel."
Immediately, a page filled with various fragment patterns appeared in front of her. Upon closer inspection, there were already more than thirty different types of fragments.
A red dot appeared in the Land God category. This notification means that you can exchange ten fragments for it!
Now, all the local deities at Guanjiangkou have been gathered.
"Redeem it quickly."
To this day, she still doesn't know what use drawing the Earth God can have. Could it be... that it can burrow underground?
[The Earth God of Guanjiang Estuary has been successfully redeemed...]
[Congratulations, host, you have now collected one of the local deities, the Guanjiangkou Branch Lord. You can now view the entire Guanjiangkou territory.]
[Land God's Abilities: Can view matters large and small within the territory, and can pinpoint important figures and events]
This is... a camera I won?
Xiao Yangjiao calmed down and, with a thought, saw a family at the entrance of Yangjia Village killing a chicken. Then, she changed her position and saw a school of fish in the river in the distance surfacing for air.
It's like a perfect pillow for someone who's just fallen asleep!
Help me locate my father and mother.
[Characters Yang Tianyou 1 and Yao Ji 2 have been identified (can be viewed at any time)]
She had long wanted to sneak out and take a look, but unfortunately, Yao Ji's departure and return times were always unpredictable, so Xiao Yang Jiao couldn't find an opportunity.
With such a divine artifact, one can return at any time before Yao Ji enters Guanjiang Estuary.
I'll never get slapped on the bottom again!
"Mother, I'm sleepy."
Little Yang Jiao rubbed her eyes and squeezed between her parents, her round head nestled in Yao Ji's arms.
Go to bed early, get up early, and leave early.
"Then let's get some rest. Our Jiao'er must be tired today." After saying that, Yang Tianyou put his arm around Yao Ji's shoulder and walked into the house. He turned his head and whispered to Yang Jiao where she couldn't see, "It's time to fulfill our daughter's birthday wish."
As the sun slowly rose, the system immediately notified Xiao Yangjiao.
Yao Ji has left Guanjiang Estuary, and Yang Tianyou has arrived at the teaching academy.
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yangjiao was overjoyed; this was the perfect opportunity to run away!
Xiao Yangjiao suddenly jumped up from the soft, comfortable bed and quickly ran to the large box placed beside the bed, from which she took out the gift given to her by her aunt Chang'e—the Qiongzhi.
This jade branch is straight and can be made large or small, and can also be used as a flying magic tool.
After a small amount of magical power was injected into it, the jade branch visibly grew larger.
On a sudden thought, she said, "Take me to Flower Fruit Mountain."
Just as Xiao Yangjiao hugged her tightly, she heard a "whoosh" and Qiongzhi instantly soared into the air, speeding towards the sky.
The sharp wind whistling past her ears was like a series of raging waves, quickly turning her neatly tied-up hair into a mess.
……
Huaguoshan!
The ancestral land of the ten continents, the source of the three islands.
After about half an hour, Xiao Yangjiao finally crossed the towering mountains and vast seas, and landed steadily in front of a huge rock on the summit of Huaguo Mountain.
"Is this the stone embryo? Is the Monkey King inside?"
Yang Jiao looked at it and saw that the stone looked no different from an ordinary stone, nothing special.
Filled with curiosity,
Little Yang Jiao slowly stretched out her fair little hand and gently placed it on the stone.
In an instant, a warm sensation came from my palm, accompanied by a slight echo.
Bang, bang, bang.
She tapped her fingers three times and asked loudly:
Are there monkeys inside?
After saying that, she carefully pressed her ear tightly against it, trying to hear a sign of life through the thick stone wall.
Time passed second by second, and the surroundings were so quiet that you could only hear your own soft breathing, but the stone remained completely still.
"Could we have picked the wrong stone?"
She couldn't help but feel puzzled, and her brows furrowed slightly.
But there's only one big rock on the top of Huaguo Mountain.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and decided to use her last resort—to open her third eye and give the stone an "ultrasound".
"Heavenly Eye".
She parted her lips slightly and murmured a word.
In an instant, a mysterious light emanated from her forehead, gradually converging into a beam that shone upon the large rock in front of her.
She stared intently at the stone bathed in light, her eyes wide, afraid of missing a single detail.
"That's right!"
It turned out that although this stone embryo had been silently absorbing the spiritual essence between heaven and earth, its growth rate was simply too slow.
It should be noted that even the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother originated from the same group of stubborn stones that Hongjun Laozu found in front of the Taixu Illusionary Realm during the chaotic era, along with this stone.
Later, the Jade Emperor cultivated himself and transformed into human form, becoming a pageboy in front of the Hongjun Patriarch.
After enduring countless calamities and trials over millions of years, he was finally elevated by the Three Pure Ones to the supreme position of ruling the Three Realms.
However, the stone that was overlooked back then wandered around for hundreds of millions of years, eventually landing on Flower Fruit Mountain by chance, and gradually developing spirituality.
At this moment, a monkey with its limbs curled up and eyes closed can be clearly seen in the middle of the stone, sleeping peacefully. It looks very young and cute.
However, its fur was not yet fully grown and appeared somewhat sparse and messy.
Judging from his appearance, he probably hasn't awakened yet.
"Oh, I'm early!"
Xiao Yang Jiao made the trip thinking he would at least see some lively little monkeys, but at the current pace, they probably won't be born for at least several hundred years.
With a sigh, Xiao Yangjiao deflated like a punctured balloon, lying down undignifiedly on the grass next to the stone. She rolled over, snuggled up to the stone, and muttered:
"Who could possibly tell that such a tiny little thing is actually the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years later?"
Suddenly, I felt some warmth in the stone and gradually woke up.
"Qi...Tian..."
The spirit embryo was looking at the girl outside the stone.
It tilted its head blankly, a hint of confusion in its eyes:
"The Great Sage? What is that?"
What is the Monkey King?
Xiao Yangjiao touched the stone and sighed, talking to herself:
"The Monkey King is my idol. The thought of him being imprisoned under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years makes me feel uneasy."
The consciousness within the stone egg subconsciously wanted to hear what the little girl was saying:
"Is this woman's idol the Monkey King? How come he was imprisoned for five hundred years for no reason? I wonder who he offended."
As she was talking to herself, she was completely unaware that the little monkey in the middle of the rock had slowly opened its eyes and was staring straight at her.
Those eyes were clear as water, full of curiosity.
"Eh..."
Yang Jiao gently turned over and then reached into her ear.
The next second, she pulled a crystal-clear jade branch out of her ear.
The monkey's eyes widened in disbelief!
She... she actually pulled something out of her ear!
so amazing!
Can I use my ears like this too?
Thinking of this, the little monkey in the stone subconsciously twitched one of its ears.
"Since you haven't been born yet, I can only come to see you next time."
After Xiao Yangjiao finished speaking, she had a slight thought, and the jade branch in her hand suddenly began to grow larger and longer, turning into a straight, cold stick in the blink of an eye.
The monkeys inside, witnessing this scene, seemed to have had some kind of instinct triggered...
I was stunned for a moment.
His eyes shone with a dazzling light, and the whole world seemed to disappear, leaving only that jade branch in sight...
A thought flashed through my mind.
A very long and straight stick.
want to!
I want it so badly!
Just as the little monkey was filled with longing, Xiao Yangjiao nimbly climbed onto the jade branch, then turned to the side and struck the stone three times with her finger.
Three crisp, loud "bang bang bang" sounds rang out.
"Little monkey, bye-bye! I'll come see you again next time I have time~"
"elder sister?"
As a stone egg that had been on Flower Fruit Mountain since the beginning of time, this was the first time someone had spoken to it. Seeing this woman leave, it felt a strong sense of reluctance.
"Sister? When is she coming next time?"
