The Monkey King

The candles burned brightly in the small room.

The Supreme Leader raised his head slightly, and his gaze went directly through the window to the monkey on the balcony in the distance, who seemed to be thinking about something.

"Old sir, is that so?"

"Ah?" Looking back, the Supreme Being asked when he saw the wind chime sitting in front of him pointing at the runes on the bamboo slips.

Reaching out to pick up the bamboo slips, the Supreme Being squinted and looked at it carefully, stroking his long beard and said: "There are still changes to be made here. 'Jiu' should be replaced with 'No', otherwise the magic circle will not run for two months." It will make mistakes, and it will be troublesome to repair it. It doesn't work here, you should add a 'Qi'. If the two 'Gongs' are used together, without 'Qi', they will conflict with each other. I said, little girl, these should be all It’s the foundation of magic circle, talisman and seal art, hasn’t your master taught you yet?”

After that, he handed the bamboo slips back.

"No." Feng Ling took the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully, shook his head and said: "Master said that on the road to cultivating immortality, you must first understand the avenue, and then learn the techniques. These magic formations, talismans and seals are nothing more than supplementary, insignificant. Feng Ling is not there yet. When I started to learn these things. Fortunately, I read some books on this topic in my spare time, otherwise I wouldn’t even understand the wind chimes you just talked about, old gentleman.”

"Is this how your master taught you? Haha, it follows the ancient custom. Nowadays, there are very few people who teach apprentices like this." As he said that, the Supreme Master raised his head and looked towards the balcony again, thinking silently. : "How come these disciples from the same sect are so different? Subhuti really did everything he could to deal with me."

By this time, the monkey on the balcony had already left.

The towering city gate opened with a bang, accompanied by the sound of the friction of iron chains. The suspension bridge was slowly lowered. The monkey strode out.

A breeze swept by. Swirl up some dust.

On the other side of the moat, which is covered with sharpened tree stumps and has not yet been diverted, the nine-headed insect stands alone.

Compared with the huge suspension bridge that is five feet high, the bare-chested figure looks extremely thin. If you meet someone you don't know, no one can imagine that it is the incarnation of an ancient beast.

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Insect did not look as playful as when they first met, but looked more worried and haggard.

Even when he was trapped yesterday, he didn't look like this, which made the monkey a little suspicious.

Seeing the monkey come out, the Nine-Headed Insect quickly raised his hands and said, "The Nine-Headed Insect has seen the Monkey King."

This is so polite...it's a bit unlike the Nine-Headed Insect.

"What? Are you really in love with me? Let you go. Come back?" Monkey smiled mischievously and walked towards him step by step.

Guards were on guard on the city wall behind them, and countless pairs of eyes were warily staring at the two people in the open space outside the city gate.

The Nine-Headed Insect took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, hesitatingly saying softly: "I heard that you have flat peaches here."

"Peach?" The monkey raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the nine-headed insect and asked, "Where did you hear about it?"

"It doesn't matter where you heard it from? In short, the news must be correct. If people don't tell secrets, don't deny it."

There really is no airtight wall in this world.

The monkey lowered his head and twisted his wristband, and said leisurely: "What? You want it."

"Yes, I want to ask you for one."

"You probably don't need it yet? Who do you want to give it to?"

"Don't worry about it."

"You want to ask me for something and you want me to leave it alone? Okay. Then I won't care." After saying that, the monkey turned around and headed into the city.

See this situation. The Nine-Headed Insect was startled and quickly stood in front of the monkey: "Don't leave yet."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the squeaking sound of a bow being drawn on the city wall behind him, and the crossbow arrows pointed directly at his back with a cold light in the night.

The monkey smiled and stared at the nine-headed insect and said, "Then tell me, who should I give the flat peach to?"

"Here, give it to my father-in-law." Nine-Headed Insect gritted his teeth and replied helplessly.

"To your father-in-law? The All Saint Dragon King?"

"Yes, it is the All Saint Dragon King."

"He has run out of life? How long does he have left?"

"Today, I captured a few Enlightenment monks and told them that their lifespan is about to end and they have at most two months left to live."

"Two months?"

If there are only two months left, no wonder the Nine-Headed Insect is so anxious. Now we are still far away from the flat peach banquet. No matter what method we use, let alone a monster, even a god would have a hard time getting flat peaches within two months.

Li Jing was so skillful back then. Didn't it take about a year to get these hundred flat peaches?

To get the flat peaches from the Peach Garden, regardless of whether the Queen Mother agreed or not, it took more than two months just to register and wait in line to meet the Queen Mother.

As for Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit, not everyone can get it.

The monkey nodded silently: "It's really urgent. But flat peaches are very precious, and we can't be friends with each other. What are you going to give in exchange?"

"What do you want?" Nine-Headed Insect asked.

"I really don't want anything. In other words, what I really want is something you can't afford to give me."

Hearing this, the Nine-Headed Insect was already a little impatient. He turned and pointed at the fleet at Nantianmen on the horizon and shouted: "I can help you catch Nezha, or you can grow the king of heaven. How about it? Two As long as you agree, I will catch you now!"

This is already the highest price he can offer.

The nine-headed insect stared at the monkey with wide eyes.

If you want to capture the enemy general directly among the 180,000 heavenly army, let alone the Nine-Headed Insect, even if you add monkeys and two Taiyi Golden Immortal practitioners to attack at the same time, there is no guarantee of success. The possibility of failure is even greater, and it is not surprising that one accidentally loses oneself.

But the question is, do monkeys need this?

Saying this can only mean that the nine-headed insect has become chaotic.

After a long time, the monkey smiled faintly and shook his head slowly.

The nine-headed insect was a little discouraged and clenched his fists tightly.

In fact, before he came, he had expected that he might be rejected outright, but the aggrieved feeling still made him want to turn into a demon and burn the entire demon city right now.

But he can't, not to mention whether the monkey will let him do it, the key point is that once he does it, Pantao won't even think about it.

Gritting his teeth, the nine-headed insect said in a low voice: "Then, what on earth do you want to do before you are willing to give me the flat peach?"

"I won't hide it from you, I still have sixty-five flat peaches on hand."

"Sixty-five!" The nine-headed insect was surprised.

"Yes, sixty-five. They are all prepared to reward the demons who have made meritorious service in Huaguo Mountain."

"Then how about I join your Huaguoshan? With my ability, how can I get one?"

"You heard clearly, they are 'meritorious demons', not 'monsters'. Even if you join now, will you be able to make enough contributions to divide the peaches in two months?" The monkey stared at the nine-headed worm and said slowly: "Huaguo Mountain is not mine alone. These sixty-five flat peaches are considered public property."

The Nine-Headed Insect suddenly sneered: "You monsters still have public property? Don't deal with me, just tell me what conditions you want. I don't believe that my Nine-Headed Insect is not worth a flat peach!" (To be continued...)
