Flower-Fruit Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Grotto-Heaven
The masked man in black spoke eloquently, and his confident tone captivated everyone, making them subconsciously believe that what he said was true, and one by one they became deeply engrossed in it.
'Boom~'
Just then, a muffled rumble of thunder sounded in the gloomy sky, and the air felt heavy and oppressive, as if a downpour was brewing and about to begin.
The masked man in black, who had been speaking eloquently, stopped abruptly upon hearing the rumble of thunder, turned around, and vanished in a flash...
This situation left everyone puzzled, wondering why he would run away when he seemed perfectly fine.
'Buzz~'
However, the projection suddenly brightened, drawing everyone's attention back to the projector.
This is a scene with mountains and trees, and the occasional sound of waves crashing against the shore. The shop owner is standing at the mountain stream, seemingly surveying the surroundings.
Ma Feifei was indeed looking around, but to his surprise, this place seemed somewhat familiar!
"Did the system teleport me directly to Flower-Fruit Mountain?" Ma Feifei didn't know much about Flower-Fruit Mountain, only remembering a description of Flower-Fruit Mountain in the original novel. "Red cliffs and strange rocks, sheer walls and wondrous peaks. On the red cliffs, two Colorful Phoenix sing; before the sheer walls, a lone Qilin lies. In the forest dwell long-lived deer and immortal foxes, on the trees perch spirit birds and black cranes. Jade herbs and rare flowers never fade, green pines and cypresses remain evergreen. Immortal peaches always bear fruit, and tall bamboos always retain the clouds. A ravine is densely covered with vines, and the surrounding banks are covered with fresh grass."
Of course, Ma Feifei didn't see the Colorful Phoenix, the Qilin, the fairy fox, or the black crane; but he did see the flowers and grass, the green pines and cypresses, and the vines and creepers in the ravines, because he was currently in the ravine, with vines hanging down above his head, which was especially suitable for monkeys, such free-spirited animals, to play.
Most importantly, Ma Feifei also heard the sound of crashing waves, indicating that he was located by the sea. With this in mind, Ma Feifei followed the sound, walked out of the ravine, passed through a lush thicket of flowers and grass, and gradually rose in elevation. The sound of the waves crashing became more and more ferocious, and the Damp in the air became increasingly intense.
Gradually, a blue horizon appeared in Ma Feifei's vision. As he reached the highest point, an endless sea appeared before Ma Feifei, and also in the projection's view. The cultivators outside, seeing this vast sea, all showed expressions of amazement.
"Is this the sea? How magnificent!" an elderly man with white hair exclaimed in admiration.
The Azure Dragon Continent is a single, untouched land surrounded by the sea. However, it is vast, encompassing not only the five kingdoms and the Northern Azure Dragon Continent Northern Liang Great Grassland, but also many unknown and dangerous places. Few can venture out of these places. Furthermore, these areas are scattered along the edges, blocking most of the sea. Only in small sections are these areas unblocked, allowing people to reach the edge of the continent and see the ocean.
Because they had never seen the ocean in their lives, they were inevitably excited and curious.
However, they didn't have much time to admire the sea, because the perspective shifted at that moment. Ma Feifei turned to another direction, where there was a cliff with a waterfall cascading down into the sea.
"Water Curtain Cave!" Ma Feifei looked at the cliff, a hint of excitement on his face.
Sun Wukong! This mythical figure, known to everyone in Ma Feifei's world, is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who dares to fight against the heavens and battle against all the All Buddhas in the sky!
Some people may not like Sun Wukong, but it is undeniable that Sun Wukong image has been deeply ingrained in everyone's heart. Anyone can easily recount a few stories about him just by mentioning his name.
He apprenticed to a master to learn martial arts, retrieved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from the Dragon Palace, Havoc in the Underworld, was appointed as the Keeper of the Bi Ma Wen, disrupted the Peach Banquet, caused havoc in the Havoc in Heaven, was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain by the Tathagata Buddha, and followed Tang Monk on his Journey to the West.
These well-known stories, which even a three-year-old child can know, are enough to prove how successfully the mythical character of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" was portrayed.
According to the theory of protagonists in novels, Sun Wukong is the protagonist of "Journey to the West".
Now that Ma Feifei has finally had the chance to enter the world of "Journey to the West," how could he possibly not go and witness the grandeur of the Great Sage?
Thinking of this, Ma Feifei transformed into a streak of light and shot into the Water Curtain Cave.
Upon entering the Water Curtain Cave, Ma Feifei saw the inscription on the stone tablet. "Flower-Fruit Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Grotto-Heaven celestial paradise," confirming that it was indeed Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Turning his gaze away, Ma Feifei stepped onto the Xinban Bridge and walked into the cave. Flowers and trees lined both sides of the bridge, and a stream flowed gently beneath it. Stepping off the bridge, Ma Feifei entered the stone cave. Looking at the empty cave, devoid of any monkeys, Ma Feifei couldn't help but sigh, "Looks like Brother Monkey hasn't been born yet."
Actually, Ma Feifei was mentally prepared when he entered this world, because what he wanted to obtain was the Great Sage Set. The system couldn't possibly let him enter too late in the story, after Sun Wukong had already taken the Great Sage Set. Otherwise, there would have been no need for Ma Feifei to come back here again.
Therefore, the system can only arrange the preceding plot for him, ensuring that Ma Feifei can obtain the Great Sage Set when he goes to the East Sea Dragon Palace and complete the task of subduing the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey.
The Water Curtain Cave is currently deserted. Inside, the stone tables, benches, and basins are neatly arranged, indicating that Sun Wukong has not yet discovered this place. In the original story, not long after Sun Wukong was born, he led a group of monkeys to the outside of the Water Curtain Cave, discovered that Water Curtain Cave was a hidden paradise, and then led the group of monkeys into the Water Curtain Cave to live.
According to TV dramas, it would only take a few tens of minutes to discover...
In conclusion, Ma Feifei felt that the plot given by the system might even take place before the first chapter of "Journey to the West," that is, before the original plot had officially begun.
"I wonder where that rock is. Should we go take a look?" Ma Feifei thought, tilting his head.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea, turned around and left, intending to go directly to the Dragon Palace to retrieve the Great Sage Set, since he was there to complete a quest, wasn't he?
According to the original text, the river flowing into the sea below the Water Curtain Cave Waterfall is the passage to the Dragon Palace, and Sun Wukong found the Dragon Palace by following the direction of the waterfall's flow.
After exiting the Water Curtain Cave, Ma Feifei plunged directly into the river.
Everyone was puzzled by Ma Feifei's actions, wondering why Ma Feifei suddenly wanted to jump into the water. However, they then noticed that as Ma Feifei was about to touch the river, he emitted a fluorescent glow. The river below seemed to have a spirit and separated. As Ma Feifei went deeper, the river continued to separate, and rivers and lakes gave way wherever he went.
Water Splitting Technique!
This is a Divine Abilities and Spells Ma Feifei bought from the Spell Shop. The function of this Divine Abilities and Spells is to separate rivers, lakes and seas. The effect is not very big, but it is very practical, especially for Ma Feifei who is about to enter the Dragon Palace.
