Chapter 664: Chapter 634: Zhu Ganglie Ascends Kunlun

Chang’e said, "So, don’t make it difficult for the rope anymore.

And you don’t need to worry about it jumping out and harming us, because without someone using the mnemonic, it can’t move on its own."

Yi Zheng, looking at the Golden Cloth Rope around his waist, muttered, "I see, then you can just serve as my belt."

Yi Zheng had thought that this powerful treasure would refuse, as it was somewhat insulting for a treasure to be used as a belt.

However, the rope showed no reaction at all, as if it had accepted the arrangement by default.

Little did Yi Zheng know that the Golden Cloth Rope was originally Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad’s belt, so using it as a belt now was merely reverting to its original job, and naturally, it had no objections.

Chang’e, having regained her freedom, seemed very happy, pulling Yi Zheng along to stroll in the courtyard.

Watching Chang’e kicking up osmanthus flowers with her delicate feet, looking so joyful, Yi Zheng said, "Seeing you so happy, why not talk about something?"

Chang’e shook her head, "I lived less than twenty Fen on Earth before coming to the Moon. For the rest of the Yuanhuis, I spent them on the Taiyin Star.

Even when I leave here, it’s just back and forth between two points.

In my brief life, there’s not much of a story.

Why don’t you tell me your story instead?"

Yi Zheng chuckled, "You’ve lived for several Yuanhuis, yet you tell me you’re young with no stories to tell. Do you realize I’ve only lived for about twenty to thirty years in total..."

Chang’e exclaimed in surprise, "You are so young!"

Yi Zheng was somewhat upset but, looking down, it seemed to be true, and he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"Sister Chang’e, you say it’s dull and boring here on the Moon, why not go have a chat with Wu Gang? Two’s company, after all; it should be more interesting than being alone, right?" Yi Zheng asked.

Chang’e shook her head, "He’s a man, and I’m a woman. It’s a bit inappropriate for us to be alone together as single individuals; one must avoid creating suspicions."

Yi Zheng was speechless. So lonely and still worried about propriety?

But then he felt a sense of relief, glad that Chang’e was a traditional girl with a strong will.

If it had been a girl with a slightly weaker resolve who ended up on the Moon, encountering the only male, Wu Gang, it’s possible that sparks could have flown between them.

Over the span of several Yuanhuis!

Yi Zheng felt that they could create a whole nation!

Chang’e said, "Tell me your story then?

That day, when I chose you, so many people were talking badly about you.

I’m curious. What on earth did you do to make so many people hate you?"

Yi Zheng gave a wry smile, "I haven’t done anything, who knows why they hate me so much. They must be crazy..."

Seeing Chang’e smiling and looking at him as if she didn’t believe a word he said, Yi Zheng reluctantly began to share his own story.

However, Yi Zheng did not mention that he came from Earth, just that he woke up in a small world and, to avoid being tormented by players, started working out desperately, then went against the heavens, step by step, until he entered the Underground Immortal Realm.

He talked about clinging onto the Queen Mother of the West’s coattails, dealing with the four menaces, publishing the Kunlun Daily...

And scavenging at the Pan Peach Festival;

Joining the Chopping Wood Sect to chop the Roc, and so on...

The two of them chatted until nightfall.

Apart from eating, they spent nearly all their time talking about these things.

Yi Zheng boasted in front of the beautiful woman, spitting out his stories with great enthusiasm.

And whether Chang’e could discern the bragging within, she listened with great interest.

She propped up her chin, watching the rabbit in her arms boasting by the campfire, her face filled with happiness.

This was her, a simple girl with no great ambitions, just wishing for someone to talk to.

Yi Zheng didn’t know how long he had slept, but as he was boasting away, he heard snoring beside him, and when he looked up, Chang’e had already fallen asleep with her chin propped up.

Yi Zheng wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, then threw another cut of the osmanthus tree into the fire, stoking it to a blaze to prevent Chang’e from getting cold.

...

Just then, a friend sent a message in the chat box—the Kaiming Beast: "Rabbit, that pig from Spirit Mountain ran over to West Kunlun. He’s spouting nonsense, saying something about telling you the rope is a Golden Cloth Rope, and what the mnemonic is to unravel it...

Don’t you think that pig is sick?

I really want to tell you to go find him.

What’s he coming to us for?"

Yi Zheng originally didn’t pay much attention, but when he heard the words "Golden Cloth Rope" and the mnemonic to unravel it, his eyes suddenly brightened!

Yi Zheng immediately replied, "Is that pig still there?"

The Kaiming Beast looked at Zhu Ganglie not far away: "He is."

Yi Zheng narrowed his eyes.

The Taiyin Star, a place where even birds refuse to shit, almost completely isolated from the outside world, why would a pig from Spirit Mountain know that they were trapped by a Golden Cloth Rope?

That’s just not scientific!

There were two possibilities: one was that the other party had used some means to see the situation here;

The other was that all of this was orchestrated by them.

The former was possible, but there was no reason for them to help Yi Zheng.

As for the latter...

Yi Zheng quickly asked, "You say that pig is from Spirit Mountain? What’s his name?"

The Kaiming Beast replied, "His name is Zhu Ganglie, now the Purification Envoy of Spirit Mountain. Do you know him?"

When Yi Zheng heard this name, he almost shouted out in excitement!

Zhu Ganglie, that was too familiar a name!

As a person from Tianxia on Earth, "Journey to the West" was almost like a companion growing up for Yi Zheng.

He was intimately familiar with the characters in it.

It was also one of his earliest books of enlightenment about immortals, Taoism, and the Buddhist Sect.

Zhu Ganglie, who was also none other than Pig from the book, originally the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy from the Water Army, proficient in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang transformations, gluttonous, lecherous, idle, cowardly, yet cunning, adept at sweet-talking and passing the buck.

But none of that was important, what was important was that he was Zhu Ganglie!

If there was Zhu Ganglie, then there must be Monk Tang, Monk Sand, and Sun Wukong too.

Sun Wukong, he was Yi Zheng’s idol since he was young!

But Yi Zheng also quickly realized that there was something off about Zhu Ganglie!

In the original story, Zhu Ganglie was banished to the Lower Realm for flirting with Chang’e, mistakenly born in a pig’s body, and that’s how he ended up in this state.

Even on the journey to the Western Heaven, Zhu Ganglie never forgot about Chang’e, not even during the ordeal in Gao Lao Zhuang... It could be said that he was quite infatuated with Chang’e.

But it wasn’t exactly infatuation, after all, this guy loved every female believer he saw, he never turned away any female devotee.

The Kaiming Beast chuckled, "Rabbit, I just remembered something. Do you know why you ran for the Jade Rabbit position and then got locked up in the Thousand Water Map for so long?"

Yi Zheng had heard some of the reasons but wasn’t sure of the specifics: "Tell me more."

The Kaiming Beast said with a snicker, "It’s quite simple, because that pig, in order to woo Chang’e, had used the Heavenly Gang transformation technique to disguise himself as a rabbit and infiltrated the Jade Rabbit selection.

If he hadn’t been exposed by Immortal Master Erlang’s Heavenly Eye, he might have actually made it onto Taiyin Star."

Yi Zheng, upon hearing this, was suddenly speechless: "My gosh, that pig is really desperate!"

And then Yi Zheng suddenly realized something, "Kaiming Beast, can you see the sceneries of Taiyin Star?"
