Chapter 177 Accepting a Disciple
The king rushed to the inn upon hearing the commotion.
Only when the king arrived did Sun Wukong release the three princes from their immobilization spell.
It has been confirmed that Sun Wukong and his companions were indeed extraordinary.
The three princes knelt down without hesitation, their eyes firm and earnest, and said in unison, "We humbly request that the three elders accept us as their disciples!"
Seeing this, the king was secretly delighted. He quickly stepped forward, bowed to Jiang Liuer, and earnestly pleaded, "Holy Monk, look how sincere our children are! We hope you can grant our request!"
After saying this, the king stared intently at Jiang Liuer, awaiting his reply.
However, Jiang Liuer seemed somewhat troubled in the face of the king's plea.
He thought to himself: after all, his group was now in a foreign country and relied entirely on the king's hospitality and care. It would be rather unreasonable to refuse the king's request so directly.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Liuer slowly spoke to the king, saying, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to discuss it with my disciples before making a decision."
Then, Jiang Liuer turned to look at Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong, and Sha Wujing behind him and sighed, "What should we do now? If we accept these three princes, it will definitely waste a lot of time."
Upon hearing this, Pigsy curled his lip indifferently and said nonchalantly, "Oh, Master, what's the big deal?"
"It's just taking on a few apprentices, it won't take much time anyway, why don't you just agree?"
Maybe this old pig can take advantage of the opportunity to show off his master's power!
Sun Wukong crossed his arms and replied calmly, "I don't care. Whether you accept it or not is fine. I'll listen to the little monk."
Chen Yi, who had just gotten out of bed and stepped out of his room, heard Sun Wukong's next words. Full of questions, he asked, "What do you mean, 'listen to me'?"
Sun Wukong pointed to the three people in the courtyard and whispered, "The three princes want us to take them as our disciples."
Chen nodded: "I see, then let's accept it."
Sun Wukong: "Alright, I'll take it."
Sha Wujing then spoke up: "Master, look at those three princes, they are still kneeling outside the door and have not gotten up. This shows their sincerity. In my opinion, we should just take them in."
After listening to his disciples' opinions and seeing that the three princes remained kneeling and refused to rise, their attitude extremely sincere, Jiang Liuer finally nodded and agreed to let them take him as a disciple.
The three brothers then took a prince as their disciple.
……
On the wide and flat training ground, the sunlight cast a golden glow.
"Second Master, your nine-toothed rake looks so powerful, how heavy is it exactly?"
Pigsy said smugly, "My old pig's rake isn't very heavy, it's only about one cun (a unit of weight), and including the handle, it weighs a total of 5,048 jin (a unit of weight)!" He then chuckled twice.
"Third Master, how heavy is your demon-subduing staff?"
Sha Wujing smiled innocently and replied, "My staff is about the same as your second master's, weighing about 5,048 jin."
"Master, compared to others, your stick looks the shortest and smallest. Could it be the lightest?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong revealed a hint of disdain and replied, "What do you know!"
"This Great Sage's golden cudgel is far more powerful than theirs. I can make it as thick as I want, and as long as I want. It can change at will, with endless variations! Moreover, it weighs 13,500 jin!"
Sun Wukong's words left the three princes speechless, and it took them a while to recover from their shock.
Immediately afterwards, the three masters began to teach the three princes one by one.
The three princes studied with complete concentration, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
For a time, shouts and the sounds of clashing sticks filled the training ground, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
