Chapter 195 5 Finger Mountain

After a moment of silence, Miss Duan finally sighed deeply: "Since you have made up your mind, I can only respect your choice. We won't go with you to Wuzhishan. We won't be of any help there, and we might even cause trouble."

Miss Duan was well aware of her own strength. She was no match for even the pig demon Zhu Ganglie, let alone the demon king Sun Wukong. For her to fight the demon king Sun Wukong would be no different from suicide.

"Young Master Li, you must be very careful when facing the Demon King Sun Wukong. It is said that the Demon King Sun Wukong is cunning and treacherous, so you must not underestimate him."

Li Qing smiled and nodded, giving Miss Duan a grateful glance: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

......

The next day, after bidding farewell to Miss Duan and the others, Li Qing transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight and flying towards Wuzhi Mountain.

Ten thousand meters above the ground, the scenery below kept changing in Li Qing's eyes. After a moment, a continuous mountain range appeared in Li Qing's sight.

Looking down, the surrounding mountains stretch endlessly, layer upon layer, like giant dragons winding and coiling.

Several unique mountain peaks stand out in this mountain range. The majestic mountains stand tall on the earth, and their reflections are mirrored in the lake. The lake is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the entirety of the mountains, resembling a huge Buddha statue, solemn and majestic.

"This is it..."

Li Qing's figure slowly descended, his gaze piercing through layers of mist, finally landing on a lotus pond hidden in the withered, yellow mountains.

This lotus pond stands out starkly on this high mountain, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding desolate landscape.

In the center of the lotus pond, a pure white lotus grows from a crack in the rock. Its petals are as white as snow, and a mysterious power entwines around the white lotus. Below the lotus, several emerald green lotus leaves also sprout from the crack in the rock.

The demon king Sun Wukong was sealed beneath this lotus flower.

Li Qing slowly descended from the sky and stood steadily next to the pure white lotus flower.

However, even such a slight movement was instantly noticed by the demon king Sun Wukong below. Even though he was sealed by the Buddha, Sun Wukong still possessed extraordinary keen perception. No matter what the slightest movement was, it was difficult to escape his attention. The moment Li Qing landed, the demon king Sun Wukong's gaze shot over like lightning from the cave below, his eyes seemingly locking onto Li Qing through space.

Li Qing was not surprised at all to feel Sun Wukong's prying gaze.

"As expected of the Demon King Sun Wukong..."

The Demon King Sun Wukong is no simple character; his cunning and treachery are on full display.

Although the Buddha's seal was powerful, it could only confine Sun Wukong to a cave; it could not truly seal away his earth-shattering power.

This can be seen from the fact that Sun Wukong easily subdued Zhu Ganglie. It should be noted that Zhu Ganglie was huge, standing one zhang tall and three zhang long. Despite his great strength, Zhu Ganglie was powerless against Sun Wukong and was easily sucked into a narrow cave.

Not only that, Sun Wukong even used his supernatural powers to transform it into a gentle and cute little piglet. How could a demon whose power was sealed possess such abilities?

This shows that Sun Wukong's strength was not affected by the seal and remained unfathomable.

In the story, in order to trick Chen Xuanzang into letting him go, Sun Wukong concealed his strength and pretended to be someone who couldn't even break two sugarcanes. He disregarded his dignity and played the victim in front of Chen Xuanzang in order to undermine Chen Xuanzang's vigilance towards him.

After Chen Xuanzang left the cave, Sun Wukong took advantage of Chen Xuanzang's kindness and compassion, causing Chen Xuanzang to unknowingly break the true seal set by the Buddha, thus successfully escaping the Buddha's seal.

......

Li Qing looked down at the pure white lotus below, squatted down, reached out and pushed aside the lotus leaves, revealing a narrow hole hidden beneath them.

Sunlight streamed into the cave from the entrance, and a long, narrow stone table appeared below Li Qing's line of sight.

Then, a soft sound of footsteps slowly emerged from the depths of the cave.

Immediately afterwards, a ragged, slovenly, short middle-aged man appeared in the sunlight. His hair was messy and he was even bald, and his face was covered with wrinkles.

If Li Qing hadn't already known that the cave contained the demon king Sun Wukong, he wouldn't have believed that this disheveled man was actually the demon king Sun Wukong who had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago.

Inside the cave, when Sun Wukong looked up and saw Li Qing at the cave entrance, his eyes seemed to suddenly light up. He slowly spread his hands out, basking in the warm sunlight and enjoying this hard-won sunshine.

"How long... how long exactly? I can't even remember how many years it's been since I last saw the sun."

Sun Wukong muttered to himself, his voice revealing endless vicissitudes and helplessness. He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had seen the sunlight. The darkness and loneliness here had made him almost forget what the outside world was like.

In a weak voice, he said to Li Qing, "Brother up there, could you please help me? Have pity on me and help me pull out the lotus leaves from the entrance of the cave?"

"This lotus flower must be the seal that Buddha placed on you, right?" Li Qing said with a mocking smile.

"What seal... Brother, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand." A hint of embarrassment flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes. He touched his bald head and muttered to himself: Could it be that this guy has figured out my identity?

He's disguised so well, who could possibly recognize him?

Thinking this through, Sun Wukong composed himself, then feigned ignorance and looked at Li Qing, asking, "Brother, what do you mean by 'seal'? I've never heard of it before!"

"Sun Wukong, stop pretending. The fact that you were imprisoned under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Buddha five hundred years ago has long been known in the human world. Now everyone knows that the Five Fingers Mountain sealed the demon king Sun Wukong."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt a surge of anger, but he did not show it and remained silent with his head down.

Knowing who I am, why did this person still come to Wuzhishan? Is he here to deliberately humiliate me?

The cave was silent, with only Sun Wukong's heavy breathing echoing in the air. He recalled the thrilling battle five hundred years ago, when he fought against the Buddha and was ultimately defeated, trapped in this Five Finger Mountain.

For the past five hundred years, he has been reflecting on his failure and why he lost to the Buddha.

After a moment of silence, Sun Wukong raised his head, took a deep breath, and said, "Since that's the case, then I will no longer hide it. That's right, I am the Demon King Sun Wukong from back then!"
