Chapter 128 Filial Piety Produced Under the Stick
With a deafening roar, a corner of the west side of the Chang'e Temple was instantly blasted away.
Amidst the ruins, a fox buried in the bricks and tiles twitched twice before its body gradually stiffened.
The fox spirit never understood, even in her dying breath, why the monk, known for his compassion, could be so ruthless.
You should at least try to convert me!
Then she heard Jiang Feng's compassionate voice as she wished: "There's no need to offer yourself in return. We monks do not seek anything in return."
As the saying goes, if you're going to help someone, help them all the way. So, I'll take pity on you and free you from your shackles, then send you to the deepest levels of hell.
[Your compassion and kindness helped the fox spirit break free from the shackles of her physical body. Your boundless love moved the heavens, and you are rewarded with thirty years of magical power.]
A moment later, the fox spirit was completely lifeless. Jiang Feng chanted sutras to send her soul to hell to receive punishment. He clicked his tongue twice as he looked at the fox spirit's corpse, and then he heard a piercing scream behind him.
"My Temple"
The goddess rushed forward, her face full of anger, and said, "Look what you've done! You'll have to pay for my temple!"
Jiang Feng looked at the goddess with a helpless expression: "Can you be reasonable? Do you dare to say with a clear conscience that this is your temple? This is clearly Hou Yi's temple!"
The goddess was so angry that her veil blew off her face: "The villagers nearby all acknowledge this as my Chang'e Temple, not Hou Yi's!"
"That makes some sense. I'll rebuild it for you tomorrow."
After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he asked with some curiosity, "What grudge do you have against Hou Yi that you have to take over his temple?"
Upon hearing the name Hou Yi, the goddess gritted her teeth and angrily said, "This Hou Yi is heartless and fickle. After marrying Chang'e, he took a fancy to a goddess from the Luo River and domineeringly refused to let Chang'e leave him."
Chang'e seized an opportunity to steal the elixir and went to the Moon Palace, thus escaping his clutches.
The world doesn't know the reason and misunderstands, thinking Chang'e wanted to steal the elixir of immortality. I don't blame them, but I must avenge Chang'e!
Jiang Feng said, "Oh, I see. But this temple belongs to Hou Yi, the leader of the Youqiong clan, and he's not the same person as the Yi who shot down the suns!"
The goddess's eyes widened immediately: "You mean to say I've got the wrong person?"
Jiang Feng hummed in agreement, then asked, "And what's the deal with this vixen?"
The goddess, still reeling from the blow, said dejectedly, "She's a charlatan who tricks people into offering sacrifices to her in temples."
I was passing by and asked her about Su'e's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, she harbored evil intentions and tried to drug me and eat me. After subduing her, I locked her up in a secret room.
"No wonder she impersonated Su'e in front of me just now; it turns out she heard the name from you."
Jiang Feng, seemingly lost in thought, continued, "Then why did you secretly descend to the mortal realm?"
"I descended to the mortal realm to seek revenge on Chang'e—you're trying to trick me?!"
The goddess suddenly realized what was happening, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Jiang Feng with her ears perked up.
Jiang Feng smiled slightly: "We're just chatting, aren't we? I can tell you're the Jade Rabbit who snatched away from the Moon Palace."
"Is my identity that obvious?"
The Jade Rabbit muttered something and removed the veil from its face.
Upon seeing her face clearly, Sha Wujing exclaimed in surprise, "So it's you!"
The Jade Rabbit looked at Sha Wujing with a puzzled expression: "You know me?"
Sha Wujing sighed softly, his face filled with reminiscence, and said, "I saw you at the Peach Banquet back then. I was still the Curtain-Rolling General at the time. I saw you following the Moon Goddess and stealing one of her immortal peaches."
I was just about to go over and expose you when the Jade Emperor reprimanded me.
The jade rabbit gave him a disgruntled look: "My master's silence means he agrees. It's none of your business!"
Sha Wujing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and clapped his hands: "So not saying anything means agreeing!"
"Whenever the Jade Emperor used to bathe in the celestial pool, I would always ask him if he wanted me to scrub his back, but he would never answer. I thought he didn't want to!"
"No, I feel he really doesn't want to."
Jiang Feng looked at him with mixed feelings: "Wujing, you're supposed to be a curtain-rolling general, why are you running around in the bathroom rolling up the curtain?"
From now on, when I take a bath, you get the hell out of my way. Who wants a guy staring at them with wide eyes while they're taking a bath?
The Jade Emperor is truly good-tempered; he tolerated you for so many years before banishing you to the mortal realm!
Sha Wujing retorted, "It is my duty to protect the Jade Emperor. If I leave even a step or blink even once, it would be dereliction of duty! How could the Jade Emperor punish me for being dutiful?"
"It's like I was ordered by the Bodhisattva to put the golden headband on you. If I really succeed, Master, you wouldn't blame me for it, would you?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Of course not, I'll kill you first!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and viciously tried to strangle Sha Wujing's neck.
Bai Suzhen grabbed him and said, "Stop fooling around, save your energy, we still need to build the house tomorrow."
Jiang Feng flicked his sleeves, glaring fiercely at Sha Wujing, and said, "You unfilial disciple, once I take your senior brother in, I'll have him teach you a lesson in the saying 'Spare the rod and spoil the child!'"
After saying that, he looked at the Jade Rabbit and said, "Go and rest. Tomorrow I'll renovate the Chang'e Temple for you, and I'll make sure it looks brand new!"
The Jade Rabbit was skeptical, but still went back inside to rest.
Jiang Feng rolled up Sha Wujing's bedding, stuffed it into his arms, impatiently chased him out of the room, and slept in the room that Sha Wujing had originally lived in.
In his sleep, Jiang Feng vaguely felt something furry at his feet. He frowned and kicked it away, but a moment later, he felt the thing move closer to his head.
Jiang Feng opened his eyes, startled, and saw a pure white rabbit drooling and kicking his forehead with its leg.
"???"
Jiang Feng was instantly wide awake, and slapped it on the head, making it roll over.
The rabbit was still half asleep and wasn't woken up by Jiang Feng's slap. It sniffed and mumbled:
J
"Don't be silly, I really didn't wet the bed!"
"If you dare to pee, tomorrow's breakfast will be braised rabbit and spicy rabbit head!"
Jiang Feng held back for a while, but his clenched fist ultimately didn't come down. He sighed, sat up from the bed, and went to the courtyard.
At this moment, the eastern sky was already turning white, and the moon, which had not yet set, and the sun, which had just risen, hung in the sky at the same time, creating a magnificent scene of the sun and moon in the same sky.
Jiang Feng pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the Jade Rabbit Spirit's challenge was. Was it to test his craftsmanship by having him build a house?
But this thing doesn't even exist!
Just as he was frowning in worry, his communication stone suddenly vibrated.
He gently pressed the communication stone, and Ao Ying's excited voice immediately came from it: "Jiang Feng, I think I've really found the Five Elements Mountain this time. It turns out it's near Calabash Mountain!"
There's a monkey trapped at the foot of the mountain, claiming to be Wang Qitian, the handsome monkey of Flower and Fruit Mountain!
Immediately afterward, an angry voice rang out from the communication stone: "It's the Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven—Sun Wukong!!"
