Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything
Chapter 1075 1075: Singing [Wukong] for Sun Wukong
Jiang Liu sat quietly on the back of the White Dragon Horse, pondering the matter of reestablishing the Human Emperor.
At this point, the experience points needed for leveling up were increasing, and the 80 billion experience points for reestablishing the Human Emperor naturally tempted Jiang Liu.
The sooner this task is completed, the more levels I can gain, maximizing the effect.
The later the Upgrade Scroll is used, the greater the effect, but directly gaining experience points is better done sooner, this is something Jiang Liu understands.
However, completing this task requires careful weighing of the pros and cons.
Firstly, once I start this task, the Jade Emperor would definitely not agree, leading to conflicts with the Heavenly Court.
Is the timing right to make a move now?
Should I plan carefully and wait a bit longer?
But if I act now, due to the Journey to the West for Scriptures, the Buddhist Sect will try their best to protect me, and the Heavenly Court will have their concerns, which seems like a natural protection charm?
Considering from this angle, starting to plan now is indeed suitable.
"Hey, Master..."
While Jiang Liu was contemplating his issues on the back of the White Dragon Horse, suddenly, Sun Wukong's voice interrupted, eager and scratching his ears and cheeks toward Jiang Liu.
"Wukong, what's the matter? Do you have something to say?" Seeing Sun Wukong's look, Jiang Liu was secretly surprised and asked Sun Wukong.
"Master, it's like this, the song you sang earlier, I, Old Sun, found it quite interesting. Do you have any others? For example, hehe, in your previous song you specifically mentioned Xiaobai, is there one that describes I, Old Sun?" Sun Wukong spoke with a cheeky smile.
Seeing Sun Wukong's expression, Jiang Liu's mouth slightly twitched.
How could Jiang Liu not know what he was thinking? A song describing him? This Cheeky Monkey wants to hear some compliments about himself, right?
Although secretly complaining in his heart, thinking about songs from his previous life, there happened to be one from the same Journey to the West animation with a theme song that sang about this Cheeky Monkey, didn't it?
So, Jiang Liu didn't reject Sun Wukong's thoughts and nodded: "If you put it that way, I do have a song to describe you!" Check for the latest updates on My Virtual Library Empire (M-VL-EMP-YR).
"Oh? Really? Master, quickly sing it for I, Old Sun to hear!" Sun Wukong's eyes lit up, eagerly nodding.
"Monkey Brother, Monkey Brother, you're really something, the Five Elements Mountain can't hold you down, out springs Pilgrim Sun..." Seeing Sun Wukong's expression, Jiang Liu reminisced slightly and then cleared his throat, singing.
The lyrics brightened Sun Wukong's eyes, his tail wagged happily, looking particularly joyful.
Regarding songs, Sun Wukong didn't have much ability to appreciate them, but he could naturally understand the lyrics praising him.
Thus, he was even more delighted.
Chitter chitter chitter...
It was only a few minutes, and Jiang Liu quickly finished singing the song, causing Sun Wukong to giggle with delight.
Moreover, he flipped several somersaults joyfully, praising Jiang Liu: "Master indeed has great talent, this song is nice, I, Old Sun, especially like it, so well done, isn't it?"
While speaking, Sun Wukong looked toward Zhu Bajie and the others.
Clearly, Sun Wukong liked the song very much and hoped it would gain the approval of others.
"Yes, yes, Monkey Brother, Master's song is indeed great, I, Old Pig, also like it!" As the bootlicker himself, Zhu Bajie knew exactly what to say, so after Sun Wukong's inquiry, he was the first to nod and praise.
Of course, while speaking, Zhu Bajie's eyes glanced at Jiang Liu, with a somewhat resentful look: "But, Master, you made such a nice song for Monkey Brother, why didn't you make one for I, Old Pig?"
"Hmm, Master's song is still quite good!" After Zhu Bajie's statement, Sha Wujing also nodded, praising.
Regardless of whether the song was genuinely good or not, Sha Wujing couldn't oppose the Master and the senior brothers.
"Regarding songs, I don't have high appreciation skills!" The White Mouse Demon shook its head, not making any evaluations.
As for the White Dragon Horse, it kept its head down, walking silently, seemingly uninterested in speaking.
"Hey, Xiaobai, why aren't you saying anything? What do you think of Master's song?" White Dragon Horse silent? Sun Wukong naturally wouldn't let him off like that. After a playful "hey," Sun Wukong actively asked the White Dragon Horse.
"Senior Brother, Master's song is indeed catchy and straightforward, but the lyrics seem a bit too plain. It might be more suitable as a children's song!" Upon hearing Sun Wukong actively inquire, the White Dragon Horse hesitated slightly before responding.
"Oh?" White Dragon Horse's response made Jiang Liu's eyes light up slightly, looking at him with some surprise.
Although the White Dragon Horse's words were not pure praise, in Jiang Liu's view, the critique was quite sharp and accurate.
In the previous life, this was the theme song of the Journey to the West animation, so the lyrics were particularly simple and straightforward. Saying it's a children's song, isn't it more fitting?
Unexpectedly, in the Journey to the West team, Little White Dragon was usually very low-key, but this musical appreciation ability was indeed impressive.
"A children's song is fine, as long as it's a good song, that's what I, Old Sun, like!" Although there weren't many words of praise in White Dragon Horse's critique, Sun Wukong was still happy and said casually.
"Xiaobai, I also have another song here, would you like to appreciate it?" The group of master and disciples was walking, with nothing else to do, Jiang Liu asked Little White Dragon.
"Really? What other song do you have, Master?" Xiaobai nodded and asked.
"This song is called 'Wukong,' why don't you listen to it?" Jiang Liu smiled slightly and continued.
"Wukong!? The name of this song is good!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong flipped twice with excitement, clapping his hands.
Of course, besides Zhu Bajie's muttering a few words feeling a bit jealous, everyone else widened their eyes and looked at Jiang Liu expectantly.
Evidently curious about what kind of song named after Senior Brother would be.
Jiang Liu roughly recalled the lyrics and tune from the previous life, cleared his throat, and began: "The moon splashes onto the Milky Way, the long road stretches on, the wind and smoke clear away, a solitary shadow lingers..."
Compared to the previous simple and straightforward children's song, this song naturally has more depth in both lyrics and tune.
As Jiang Liu started singing, his voice immediately drew everyone's attention.
When it came to the part "Stomping on Lingxiao, reckless and defiant," Sun Wukong and the others felt goosebumps all over.
This song naturally gave everyone a strong sense of immersion, and just from the name, it's clear for whom this song is sung.
A few more minutes passed, and when the song ended, Sun Wukong and the others remained silent for a long time.
"So, Xiaobai? How about this song?" Jiang Liu smiled slightly, patting the White Dragon Horse's back, and asked.
"This song is very exquisite, Master is truly talented, as a disciple, I am in absolute admiration!" Following Jiang Liu's words, White Dragon Horse responded.
Without waiting for Jiang Liu to be modest, Little White Dragon continued: "This song, not only is the lyrics and tune excellent, but the main thing is that the whole song never mentions Senior Brother's name, yet everyone can hear that it's about Senior Brother!"
"I, Old Pig, don't know what to say, anyway, it's just very nice to hear!" Zhu Bajie followed up, naturally offering more flattering words.
For Zhu Bajie, what's said isn't important, as long as he gets the chance, buttering up to Master is sufficient, and it never goes wrong.
"I, Old Sun, think that the previous one was better!" Sun Wukong thought for a while and expressed his opinion.
Although he thought this song "Wukong" was quite good too, Sun Wukong found nothing beats straightforward praise; what's the point of all the twists and turns?
Like the previous song, it begins with "Monkey Brother, Monkey Brother, you're truly amazing," isn't such direct praise sweet?
Sun Wukong's words made Jiang Liu's lips curl slightly, smiling without saying anything.
Well, given Sun Wukong's straightforward nature, he would prefer the straightforward children's song type, which is understandable, and it's normal for him to not like something slightly more sophisticated.
...
While Jiang Liu and his disciples continued westward, seemingly relaxed and carefree.
On the other side, Kong Xuan's mind was focused on the Journey to the West team, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
As the saying goes, new officials bring three fires. As the coordinator for the Journey to the West for Scriptures work now falls to him, people from the Buddhist Sect are watching him closely, so he must achieve something!
Otherwise, he won't be able to save face!
