Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 153 - 152: Horse Snatching

Just this act itself was already a violation of the Heavenly Rules.

After Heaven and Earth were severed, the immortals and mortals were differentiated, and humans and gods no longer lived together. Extraordinary creatures like heavenly horses were strictly forbidden to leave Heaven and venture to the mortal realm on their own, in order to prevent them from causing harm to the people.

The power of the gods was too strong, easily changing the natural world. A careless move could lead to countless common people suffering disaster.

Therefore, Zhuan Xu, the chief of the Five Emperors, exerted his Divine Ability to sever Heaven and Earth, ensuring that the gods and humans each carried out their duties without interfering with each other.

Sun Wukong’s act of bringing the heavenly horses to the mortal realm, regardless of how it’s viewed, was a violation of the Heavenly Rules.

It was no wonder he ran away afterward. His excuse of dissatisfaction with the small post was clearly a cover-up for violating the Heavenly Rules. He had no choice but to abandon his post and run away.

Now that today’s affair had happened, if Sun Wukong did not run, the Stable Manager would be unable to continue in his position. Anyway, both of them were bound to lose their positions. So instead of being stripped of his position by others, it was better for him to take the initiative to run away.

By doing so, he could earn a good reputation. When he met others in the future, he could brazenly declare that he quit because he was dissatisfied with the small post, not because he had made a mistake and was stripped of his position by others.

Being removed from his position by others, if the news got out, would be extremely humiliating. It was far better to run away on his own.

As long as I run fast enough, Heaven’s punishment will not catch up with me! (Custom image for Sun Wukong)

...

...

On the Great Prairie in the north, having silently followed Sun Wukong for some time, Jiang Chen was virtually certain that the monkey was doomed. He wouldn’t be able to return to Heaven or continue as the Stable Manager.

Running away was his only choice.

What would horses represent during this era?

They were strategic resources!

Objects coveted by everyone!

Sun Wukong, with over ten thousand heavenly horses, all of them one-in-a-million top-quality steeds, wandering on this Great Prairie in the north, wouldn’t that attract envious eyes?

Jiang Chen had only followed Sun Wukong for a short time before he noticed that at least three forces had set their sights on Sun Wukong: the Xiongnu, Dayuezhi, and Donghu were secretly tailing him, waiting for an opportunity to seize the horses.

Sigh, considering the strength of these people, even if they all joined forces, they would not be a match for Sun Wukong. Wanting to take his horses was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

But once these people made a move, it signified that things would escalate and would inevitably attract Heaven’s attention. When that happened, Sun Wukong’s violation of the Heavenly Rules would be exposed.

When the time came, Sun Wukong would be in trouble.

Although Jiang Chen thought of this, he had no intention of warning Sun Wukong. The monkey was too reckless, acting without thinking. It was good to teach him a lesson so he would remember it well.

Jiang Chen suspected that Sun Wukong became so astute during his West Journey because he had suffered so many losses at this time.

Moral lessons paid in blood!

Perhaps this was the price that one had to pay to grow.

...

After much deliberation, the three forces finally decided to make a move. Three groups of cavalry, nearly a hundred men in total, charged from three different directions.

"Accelerate, accelerate..."

"Hoow~~ hoow~~"

"Hoo Ahh...Hoo Ahh..."

They rode their big horses, brandishing sabers and lances, shouting strange battle cries. They rushed toward the leading Sun Wukong, who was sitting backwards on his horse, intending to kill him with one strike.

A hundred against one, they believed they had the upper hand!

Soon, the hundred cavalrymen had reached Sun Wukong.

Looking at the skinny figure in front of them, which resembled a monkey (There should be monkeys in the prairie, right? There should be, right? Definitely, ✓), the leading Xiongnu cavalryman couldn’t help but reveal a grim smile on his face.

Just kill this monkey-like Han man, then all these top-quality horses, nearly ten thousand in number, would fall into our Great Xiongnu’s hands.

Ahh~~

Chanyu above, with these treasure horses, the strength of my court would greatly increase! For sure, we would be able to kill all those damned Han people and take all their silk and exquisite accessories...

Also, I wonder how the Chanyu will reward me after grabbing these horses. Would it be women? Or territory?

As for the Dayuezhi and Donghu next to him, this Xiongnu leader didn’t regard them at all.

The era was different now, and it was currently the time when Xiongnu was thriving. Dayuezhi and Donghu had both fallen and became vassals, relying on Xiongnu.

Daydreaming, the Xiongnu cavalryman was already in front of Sun Wukong. He raised the lance in his hand and, with the aid of inertia, thrust it forcefully towards the monkey, intending to skewer the monkey and his horse.

"Hee hee..." Only then did Sun Wukong react. He giggled and leisurely reached into his right ear.

Whoosh...

A gold banded cudgel flew out from his ear. As it met the wind, it grew in size and became as large as a sky pillar in the blink of an eye. It crashed down at everyone.

With a loud bang, the earth split open. The cudgel smashed down into the ground, creating a hole nearly a thousand feet wide and a hundred feet deep. That group of a hundred riders naturally became meat pancakes, integrated with the ground.

Splash!

Water gushed out from the ground and gradually filled the hole until a large lake was formed.

This was the power of the gods, beyond imagination, like a miracle. No wonder Zhuan Xu severed Heaven and Earth, with such power. If it were to be used in human cities, it was unthinkable how disastrous the consequences would be.

...

"Interesting, interesting!"

After doing all this, while looking at the newly formed lake, Sun Wukong laughed. Then, with an uncaring look on his face, he continued to herd the horses.

At this time, Sun Wukong’s heart didn’t distinguish between good and evil, but only between right and wrong. Whoever was nice to him, he would reciprocate generously; whomever was not, he wouldn’t be courteous either.

These riders came to steal his horses and even wanted to kill him; thus, to Sun Wukong, they were definitely in the wrong. Therefore, Sun Wukong didn’t hesitate to kill them.

It cannot be said that Sun Wukong was wrong to do so; he was just forced to counterattack. But his act of herding horses here did seem a bit like baiting crimes.

The human heart is greedy and can’t withstand temptation!

With nearly ten thousand heavenly horses wandering around the Great Prairie without a heavy guard, who wouldn’t be tempted to see?

...

The deaths of these hundred-plus riders was only the beginning. In the following period, more and more forces noticed the presence of these heavenly horses. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Then, Sun Wukong’s leisure days came to an end. Every day someone would come and disturb him, and then he would strike them dead with a single hit. This process lasted for a long time.

Gradually, Sun Wukong grew tired and decided to leave this place with the heavenly horses. However, by the time he thought about leaving, it was already too late.

In the Xiongnu court, Chanyu personally led three thousand elite soldiers to seize the horses when he received the news!

At the same time,

The Great Han also started to take action.
