The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 131: Managing the Peach Garden (Subscription Request)
One morning, Xu Tianshi reported to the Emperor of Heaven that after you became the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, you spent the whole day wandering around and making friends with the stars in the sky. He was afraid that you would cause trouble in the future, so he suggested finding you something to do.

The Jade Emperor accepted your advice, but asked you to take charge of the Peach Garden and told you to take good care of it day and night.

[Obtained Mission: Manage the Peach Garden (You need to understand the Jade Emperor's true intentions and do this job well)]

"I just became the Nine Heavens Spiritual and Bright Lord, and this stupid system wants me to guard the Peach Garden?"

Sun Wukong was amused by this perfect life system again, and the anger and unhappiness in his heart also dissipated a lot.

Look at the task description again carefully.

"What's the real intention?"

The Great Sage scratched his face.

First of all, he knew at that time that he was in charge of the management of Pantao Garden, and later he also learned about the land in the garden.

As an important place in the Heavenly Palace, Pantao Garden has always been managed by the fairy Shuangcheng, a disciple of the Queen Mother.

It was because this romantic fairy had an affair with Dongfang Shuo, the child of Emperor Donghua, that she allowed the little thief to enter the Peach Garden and steal peaches three times.

Only after the truth was revealed did he lose his position as the guard of Pantao Garden.

Then it was he, the Monkey King, who took charge of the Peach Garden.

However, after he disrupted the Peach Festival and caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Fairy Shuangcheng returned to her original position.

"Now that I think about it, the Jade Emperor might have had this idea a long time ago." A gleam of light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes.

Because he was recruited again that year, the Jade Emperor arranged for him to live in the Palace of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, which was right to the Peach Garden.

The Heavenly Palace is so big, why not place a mansion anywhere else? Why does it have to be next to the Peach Garden?

Don’t you know that Old Sun grew up eating peaches?
"What exactly is the Jade Emperor's intention?" Sun Wukong thought to himself.

Judging from the current situation in the Heavenly Palace, the biggest possibility should be to deal with the Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi.

But the problem is, if he is asked to take charge of the Peach Garden, how can he deal with a powerful and great master?
"Well, guessing here is useless. Why not go and investigate on the spot and see if there is anything that we didn't notice before."

Sun Wukong made a decision immediately, and it was also a good opportunity to find a way to test the Queen Mother.

At the same time, when Bull Demon King and Taibai Jinxing saw that the Great Sage had received the imperial edict, he scratched his face, remained silent, and his eyes shone with divine light.

The two looked at each other and began to worry.

The Great Sage was acting normally when he was arranging things just now. Maybe he was provoked again and did something impulsive again.

Suddenly, Sun Wukong said again: "You two go ahead, I have other things to do."

Hearing this, the two became even more worried.

But the Great Sage did not give them a chance to persuade him. He left the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Mansion and left the two guests in the mansion, where they looked at each other in bewilderment.

……

The Peach Garden was right next to the residence of the Monkey King. After leaving the residence, Sun Wukong didn't use any magical powers. He just put his hands behind his back, turned left in a swagger, and arrived at the gate of the Peach Garden.

Looking at the place where he had worked so hard, he felt a little emotional and began to drool.

I don’t know how many peaches in the garden are ripe.

Thinking of this, he immediately stepped into the Peach Garden to investigate.

But just like before, as soon as I entered, I was blocked by the land in the garden.

"Little god...Ah my!" The land god of Pantao Garden turned around and came out from the ground. He had a smile on his face, but when he saw the Great Sage, his face changed drastically and he took several steps back in fear.

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Landlord, I am not a cannibal. Why are you so afraid of me?"

The land in Pantao Garden trembled in its heart, but you eat peaches!
Then he hurriedly and fearfully bowed deeply: "This humble deity pays homage to the Northern Spiritual Heavenly Venerable. May I ask... may I ask where the Heavenly Venerable is going?"

Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "I am here on orders from the Jade Emperor to inspect the Peach Garden today."

The land god was shocked. How could the great Monkey King, who had just led his troops to suppress the rebellion of Beiji Lingming, come to investigate the Peach Garden?

Would the Emperor of Heaven issue such an edict?
But he didn't dare ask any more questions, and quickly summoned the garden's tree-chopping warriors, water-carrying warriors, peach-pruning warriors, and cleaning warriors to come and kowtow and pay his respects. These immortal officials knew that Ling Ming Tian Zun had come to inspect the Peach Garden, and they all knelt there, staring at each other in bewilderment.

Sun Wukong smiled and told them to get up. He then said to the land god, "I haven't been here for many years. Please take me for a walk around the garden."

The land stammered and murmured, but it did not move.

Sun Wukong sneered, "How can it be that I, the Great Spirit Equaling Heaven, Ming Zun, can't even look after a small garden?"

The land god and the immortal officials were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

One of the land gods said cautiously, "Great Sage, please spare me! Heavenly Lord, please spare me! The Peach Festival is about to begin, and we cannot allow any more trouble to happen in the Peach Garden."

Of course Sun Wukong knew what they were worried about.

The Peach Festival is held to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West. According to the time in heaven, it is of course held once a year.

One day in heaven is one year on earth. It is not that the speed of time flowing in heaven and on earth is different, but it is a question of the length of time.

A day and night in heaven is extremely long, exactly the same length as a year in the lower world.

So for the lower world, the Peach Banquet is held once every three hundred years.

Since he caused havoc in Heaven, almost seven hundred years have passed in the lower world.

Calculating the time, the Peach Banquet is indeed approaching.

"Today and the past, I wonder what the difference will be?"

Thinking of this, the Great Sage's face changed into a kind smile. He bent down and helped the local god up. He said with a smile: "I, Sun, have now changed my ways and am doing things to help Your Majesty. How could I be as absurd as I was in the past?"

The land god was skeptical, but since the Great Sage had said so much, he could only honestly lead the way.

After entering the garden, looking around, there are fairy flowers blooming everywhere, pavilions and halls on both sides, and clouds and rainbows often appear in the sky.

And in between them are the 3,600 peach trees.

I saw fairy flowers blooming on the tree, and fruits laden on the branches. Some were ripe and bright red, while others were raw with stems and green skin. The scene was almost the same as that year.

Because there are no four seasons here, the time when peaches bear fruit and mature is not consistent; some are early, some are late.

Sun Wukong stood in front of a garden full of peach trees. After taking a quick look, he suddenly asked, "How many peach trees are there in this garden?"

"what?"

The land god of Pantao Garden looked up at the Great Sage in confusion and asked, "Don't you know how many trees there are here?"

Sun Wukong glanced down and said with a straight face, "Hurry up and tell me."

The land god suppressed his doubts and quickly introduced: "So that the Heavenly Venerable can know, there are 3,600 peach trees in this garden.

The first 1,200 plants have tiny flowers and small fruits, which ripen once every 3,000 years. If people eat them, they will become immortals and have a healthy and light body.

There are 1,200 plants in the middle, with sweet flowers and fruits that ripen once every 6,000 years. If people eat them, they will ascend to heaven and achieve immortality.

The 1,200 trees at the back have purple veins and yellow seeds. They ripen once every 9,000 years. If a person eats them, he will live as long as heaven and earth, and as old as the sun and the moon.

The two talked as they walked.

When talking about the peach trees later, Sun Wukong happened to see those peach trees that ripen once every nine thousand years.

"Ok?"

His eyes suddenly fixed.

Because there are many ripe fruits on those trees, and many are half-ripe.

But the problem is that when he was in the Peach Garden, he only picked the big peaches that ripened once every nine thousand years.

When the Seven Fairies came to pick peaches, there was not even a single ripe peach left in the garden.

There wasn't even any half-cooked ones, and the only one was the one that turned into something when he was full and sleeping.

And now, only about seven hundred years have passed, and there was even a Peach Banquet in the middle. How come so many peaches, which ripen once every nine thousand years, are ripe now?
