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

Chapter 132 The Peach Thief is Here Again (Subscribe)
The time when the peaches ripen is naturally calculated according to the time of the lower world.

The peaches from the Pantao tree ripen once every nine thousand years. If a person eats from them, his life span will be as long as that of heaven and earth, and as old as the sun and the moon.

Such a magical thing, how could it have matured so much in just seven hundred years?

Sun Wukong was puzzled, and then calmly asked the land god, "Does this peach, which ripens once every nine thousand years, really take nine thousand years to grow?"

The land god of Pantao Garden thought for a moment before saying, "Please forgive me, my Lord. I really don't remember.

Because these peaches ripen at different times, and a batch has to be picked at every Peach Festival, the schedule has long been messed up.

But roughly, it's a few thousand years, um, definitely less than nine thousand years."

Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, "What about this batch in front of us? Back then, I ate all the ripe peaches, not even a single half-ripe one was left."

The land god was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Although the peach tree is an innate spiritual root, it is like other spiritual objects and needs spiritual energy to irrigate it in order to grow.

So as long as there is enough spiritual essence, the time it takes for these peaches to ripen can actually be shortened."

Sun Wukong understood, but he scolded: "You old man, you are so hesitant and it takes so much effort to speak. Tell me everything you know!"

The land god was terrified and said, "Yes, yes! The peach trees are planted beside the Yaochi Lake, so they draw spiritual energy from the water veins of the Yaochi Lake.

But in the last few hundred years, I've discovered that the peach trees that ripen once every nine thousand years absorb significantly more spiritual essence, so they mature faster."

Yaochi water veins?

The last few hundred years?

Sun Wukong scratched his face thoughtfully, but thought of the mission summary after he overturned the verdict for the Dragon King of Jinghe River.

At that time, he became the North Pole Lingming Tianzun, and Bajie also became the Water Virtue Star Lord. They returned to their original positions and took control of the Milky Way again.

Later, the mission summary revealed that the Queen Mother believed that this would threaten the Yaochi and affect the spiritual essence needed for the Peach Garden.

That's why she agreed to the suggestion of Fairy Shuangcheng and let Dongfang Shuo make the plan to resolve the threat.

"Spiritual essence is the essence of heaven and earth. It is essential for immortals to cultivate and maintain their immortality."

"The peach trees all draw their spiritual essence from the Jade Pool. In the past few hundred years, the spiritual essence of the peach trees that ripen once every nine thousand years has increased dramatically."

"So, Bajie was banished to the lower world, apparently because Emperor Donghua was jealous of him.
In reality, it's probably because his presence affected the spiritual essence needed for the Peach Garden, which is why he was treated so badly."

"Because the water of the Tianhe River is not only the source of the Yellow River in the lower world, but also the source of the water veins of the Yaochi and other heavenly palaces. If the Queen Mother controls the Tianhe River, she can use the water systems of the world to plunder spiritual essence from the lower world."

"Coincidentally, for the past few hundred years, the Yao Chi side has been controlling the Tianhe River through the former Water Virtue Star Lord Lu Rong."

"Also, their original intention in plotting against the Dragon King of Jinghe River was also for Ling Yun, which is why they supported Lu Rong, that idiot."

At this moment, Sun Wukong suddenly figured out many problems and understood why the Queen Mother was eager to deal with him.

This is because he sits in charge of the North Pole of heaven and earth, and the Tianhe River is under the control of him, the North Pole Lingming Mingzun.

As long as we get rid of him, the remaining Bajie will not be a concern.

It is worth mentioning that although he has now been conferred the title of Jiu Tian Ling Ming Zhong Zun, his actual title of Bei Ji Tian Zhong is still retained, and the corresponding authority is still in his hands.

……

At the same time, the beautiful Shuangcheng Fairy, as usual, came to the gate of Pantao Garden in colorful clothes, ready to investigate.

After all, the Peach Festival is coming soon, and she must watch it carefully. She can't let big problems happen again like what happened to Monkey King back then.

But as soon as she entered the garden gate, she saw many strong men who usually carried water and trimmed trees, waiting respectfully by the side.

Fairy Shuangcheng frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you standing here instead of doing anything?"

The warriors hurriedly said, "Fairy, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has sent the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to look after the Peach Garden again, and he's currently inspecting the garden."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Shuangcheng's expression suddenly changed.

The Emperor of Heaven asked Sun Wukong to look after the Peach Garden again?

When did this happen?
Why hasn't such an important matter been announced?

She thought of many things in an instant, and then her eyes widened in horror. This is a peach thief!

call!
Thinking of this, Fairy Shuangcheng immediately raised a gust of fragrant wind and quickly turned back to Xihua Palace on the other side of Yaochi to meet the Queen Mother.

At this moment, the Lord of Yaochi was sitting by the pool, looking at the vast and misty water, as if thinking about something.

When Fairy Shuangcheng came in, she hurriedly said, "My Lady, this is bad! Sun Wukong is here to take over Pantao Garden again!"

The Queen Mother's expression also changed, and then she frowned and said, "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

Fairy Shuangcheng suppressed her fear and explained, "Those strong men told me that when I went to check on the Peach Garden just now."

"Have you seen Monkey King?"

"No, he just said he was checking in the garden. I was worried something was wrong, so I hurried back to report to the queen."

"He's now the Celestial Lord, guarding the North Pole of Heaven and Earth. How could he possibly be the guardian of the Peach Garden? You're so flustered before you've even figured out the whole story. How disrespectful!"

"It is my fault, please punish me, Madam."

"Well, come with me and take a look."

The Queen Mother stood up, still dressed in elegant and luxurious attire, and brought the two fairies across the Yaochi Lake and went straight to the Peach Garden.

All the peach trees in the garden were planted by her personally, and can be said to be her private property.

When the strong men saw this, they of course knelt down in panic and saluted.

But the Queen Mother did not even lower her eyes, but walked straight past them and into the garden.

Coincidentally, Sun Wukong had just come back from looking at the peach tree and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Because the land was following him, he had to suppress his greed and didn't touch the peaches, so he drooled a lot.

The Queen Mother misunderstood and scolded, "Sun Wukong, what did you do?!"

Sun Wukong immediately straightened his back and said solemnly, "I am here to inspect the Peach Garden by order of the Heavenly Emperor."

The land god explained quietly, "Your Highness, Ling Ming Tian Zun only wandered around the garden and didn't... didn't pick any peaches to eat."

The Queen Mother's face remained sullen as she asked, "Sun Wukong, you are the North Pole Spiritual Sky Lord. My Yaochi is in the west. What Heavenly Emperor's decree do you have to inspect the Peach Garden?"

Sun Wukong chuckled, flipped his hand and took out the imperial edict that conferred the title, and said, "I came here in such a hurry that I forgot to send someone to inform the Queen. I, Sun Wukong, have just been conferred the title of Nine Heavens Spiritual Bright Lord by the Emperor of Heaven, and have the power to inspect the Nine Heavens.

Your Yaochi is in the west, but it is still in the Nine Heavens.

Unless you move away one day, I won’t be able to enter your country of women.”

The Queen Mother looked at the unfolded imperial edict with a frosty expression.

Does the Emperor of Heaven really want to indulge this naughty monkey?
What's with patrolling the Nine Heavens? I'm afraid it's going to cause another upheaval to the world!

Looks like we need to hurry up!

Thinking of this, she said in a deep voice: "Since we have checked, please let Tianzun leave."

Sun Wukong was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Hehe, then I'll come again next time."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly.

Sure enough, after a while, about three days in the lower world.

Fairy Shuangcheng came to Xihua Palace again and reported through gritted teeth: "My Lady, Sun Wukong has come to Pantao Garden again."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Keep a close eye on me!"

But then it happened again every once in a while.

Soon, all parties in the Heavenly Palace noticed the situation in Yao Chi and became nervous.
