The Monkey King

Under the ginseng fruit tree, the shadows of the trees are swaying.

In the silent scene, the two people looked at each other silently.

A few fallen leaves rolled past him, slightly trembling the down on the monkey's face, and raising Zhen Yuanzi's sleeves.

The corners of Zhen Yuanzi's mouth raised slightly, but Monkey's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit.

"You are still the same as you were more than 600 years ago. You know you can't do something but do it, you are stupid and you are stubborn. With this kind of character, why didn't you die in a corner?"

"Aren't you the same as you were six hundred years ago? You thought the whole world would succumb to your stick. In the face of justice, what does life mean?"

"Great righteousness?" Holding the golden cudgel, the monkey smiled slowly: "Pudu is not righteous?"

"Pudu is a great meaning, so what is the 'Tao'?" Zhen Yuanzi held a fly whisk, stroking his long beard and said calmly: "Although the so-called Pudu is contrary to the current Buddhist teachings, its concepts are in line with each other. . Get rid of the eight sufferings and get rid of obsessions. Have you never thought that when all living beings in the three realms have been liberated and become Buddhas, will there still be a place for me as a Taoist in these three realms?"

The monkey snorted coldly: "Whether Taoism has a place or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"You are also a member of the Taoist sect. Which of your abilities does not come from Taoism? It's a pity that you have never believed in it. Taoism's 'non-contention' and 'inaction', what have you accomplished by cultivating the way of heaven? To put it bluntly, You have no faith. If anything can be used by you, you will believe it. If it cannot be used by you, you will not believe it. You will not even think about guarding the Taoist door that taught you all your skills. You only have a body of cultivation, but it is in the three realms. It is of no use to heaven and earth. .”

"Are you teaching me a lesson? Guarding the Taoist gate..." The monkey grinned, grinning from ear to ear. After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and yelled angrily: "Don't deceive yourself, who is with your family? Never say goodbye. Forgot. I am just a monster, a monster! A monster that the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor hate the most! When the heavenly army is chasing me all over the world, why don’t you see that they care about me as a member of the Taoist sect? Talk to me now Isn't it too late for this?"

The golden cudgel pointed directly at the bridge of Zhen Yuanzi's nose was slightly pushed forward.

"I never thought of convincing you." Zhen Yuanzi pinched his hands, and the space on the side was distorted. A "book on the ground" like a huge bamboo slip quickly appeared, and he slowly opened it, and Zhen Yuanzi Protect in the center.

Get into a fighting stance. Zhen Yuanzi looked at the monkey expressionlessly. He sighed softly: "Since we can't be convinced, we can only take risks. As long as Xuanzang's path to enlightenment is killed, the crisis of the Taoism will no longer exist. As for you monster monkey... Haha Haha, do you still want to have a big war like six hundred years ago? Don't forget, Tathagata is watching from the side, so you just lack an excuse to take action. This will destroy the world. It must be a good excuse."

Hearing this, Monkey's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.

"Hehehe, to deal with you, do you need to destroy the world? At most, it will only destroy your Wuzhuang Temple! Take the move!"

Before he finished speaking, he jumped up and the golden hoop in the monkey's hand turned into a golden light and galloped towards Zhen Yuanzi.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi retreated suddenly and quietly passed by.

However, the momentum of the golden cudgel in the monkey's hand has not diminished at all. I saw him spin and leap into the air. The stick hit Zhen Yuanzi's Tianling Cap hard.

At the critical moment, a green light suddenly blocked Zhen Yuanzi's body, and silently drove the monkey away.

After landing firmly on the ground, the monkey looked up again and saw a bunch of branches and leaves blocking Zhen Yuanzi.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of harsh sounds came. Crazy spiritual power turned into a hurricane and swept through. The whole world suddenly fell into chaos, flying sand turned to rocks, and cracks slowly spread on the towering walls like the roots of vines. Even the tiles on the Wuzhuang Guanzhu Hall were lifted one by one. Sky.

Against the whistling wind, the monkey slowly raised his head and saw that behind Zhen Yuanzi, the huge ginseng fruit tree was actually moving!

Not only was it moving, but in front of the monkey's astonished eyes, it was shaking the tree crown that was blocking the sky, pulling out its roots one by one, pulling itself out like a giant octopus. Lift up in the air.

In front of it, the monkey is as big as a fingernail.

At this moment, every branch was shaking, like thousands of people shouting.

The giant tree that had been silent for tens of thousands of years turned into a ferocious giant at this moment. The sky has changed.

In the courtyard, Xuanzang and his party, who hurried out of the door, looked at the branches and leaves that blocked the sky and the sun. They were already so shocked that they could not open their mouths from ear to ear.

Earth-shattering screams rang out in Wanshou City at the foot of the mountain. Countless monks walked out of the door and looked up at the ginseng fruit tree with waving branches and leaves on the top of the mountain. They were all horrified.

Under the monkey's attention, Zhen Yuanzi rose into the air and slowly landed on the branch. He stroked the trunk and sighed softly: "I have to trouble you to take action in the end. I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter, it's good to stretch your muscles once in a while..."

"It doesn't matter, this monster monkey is a bit difficult for you."

"Don't worry, he can't hurt you as long as I'm here."

…

Countless thunderous voices replied.

Looking at the giant tree in front of him while leaning on the golden hoop, the monkey laughed loudly, and the expression on his face gradually became more ferocious.

"I see, no wonder you are so confident. The ginseng fruit tree has become a spirit... Think about it, it has been tens of thousands of years, and it should have become a spirit. However, I originally didn't want to touch the ginseng fruit tree, but now I'm afraid I can't. Yeah. Hahahaha."

Every laugh was accompanied by surging spiritual power visible to the naked eye, forming a whirlwind around the monkey. Every hair stood on end, and the muscles on the body swelled violently, with veins popping out.

In just a moment, the monkey had reached its maximum strength.

"Now that we're out, let's die together—!"

When he raised his head again, the monkey jumped up and turned into a golden light and rushed towards the ginseng fruit tree.

Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled sound like thunder.

The monkey hit the translucent green shield hard. The shield was dented.

Shock waves like ripples spread crazily along the surface, uprooting vegetation in an instant.

In just an instant, green shields lit up around the ginseng fruit tree. With one of the shields, it withstood the monkey's attack.

Even the monkey couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

These shields are different from those used by ordinary monks. It's not hard, but extremely flexible. This allows it to effectively neutralize and withstand powerful attacks from monkeys.

Of course, this kind of endurance is not without cost.

With this blow, one of the nineteen huge branches shook off countless leaves and was about to break.

Zhen Yuanzi took the book with him and quickly landed on the injured branch like a bee flying under the giant tree, his hands dancing with golden light.

Under the nourishment of spiritual power. The cracked branch was quickly repaired.

"Let's see how long you can last!" a voice shouted. I saw the monkey circling in the air, hitting one blow after another.

Horrible sounds and shocks ravaged every corner, and green flashes lit up the entire night sky.

The huge Wuzhuang Temple collapsed slowly like tofu. Even the Wanshou City at the foot of the mountain screamed repeatedly, and the buildings were lifted into the sky in pieces.

In this crazy impact, Tianpeng, Xiaobailong, and Black Bear Spirit formed a group to protect Xuanzang in the middle to avoid the accident, while the monkey's battle continued.

In the blink of an eye. The entire Wuzhuang Temple has been turned into a ruin, with sand, gravel, and vegetation flying everywhere.

The surface of Longevity Mountain seemed to have been scraped by a razor. All the vegetation had disappeared without a trace. Even the city-state at the foot of the mountain had collapsed countless times as if it had suffered a catastrophe, and mourners were everywhere. The monks living there began to flee frantically.

In the air, the monkey held the golden hoop and panted heavily.

On the opposite side, Zhen Yuanzi, who had disheveled hair and beard, was also panting heavily. The severely damaged branches were slowly being repaired, and green shields were once again suspended in the air.

"That's right, I can't subdue you. Even if the ginseng fruit tree comes to help, it can't do anything. But here, as long as you haven't restored your cultivation of heaven, you can't suppress me either."

“You won’t know until you fight——!”

Gritting his teeth, the monkey was already trembling with anger. He roared, picked up the golden cudgel, stepped forward and smashed it again.

Under the heavy blows again and again, the ginseng fruit tree's figure became slightly unstable.

Huge rhizomes sink deeply into the ground. A gap several feet deep opened up on the ground. The ground was cracking rapidly, and the entire Longevity Mountain was crumbling, with a faint tendency to collapse.

Gradually, the huge ginseng fruit tree was pushed to the edge of the cliff under the fierce attack of the monkeys, and was about to be driven into the bottom of the valley.

At this moment, the ginseng fruit tree waved its branches as if going crazy, and its whip-like roots quickly flew up and plunged heavily into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, those roots penetrated the entire Wanshou Mountain, intertwined with each other, and quickly fixed the ground under their feet like rice dumplings.

The tree trunk, which had been pushed back little by little by the monkey, straightened up and pressed forward again.

Between the lightning and flint, two huge branches staggered towards the monkey.

Taking this opportunity, the monkey flipped in the air, passed by the two branches, picked up the stick and attacked the main trunk.

At this moment, all the leaves on the entire tree crown flashed slightly and emitted green light.

Roads of green spiritual power grew rapidly from every corner, and in a blink of an eye, they had woven into huge spider webs blocking the path of the monkey's stick.

However, the monkey had no intention of stopping.

The golden cudgel still hit hard.

Countless green spiritual powers broke during the impact, turning into bits of crystal and dissipating without a trace. However, the net finally relied on its strong flexibility to stop the end of the golden hoop less than a foot away from the tree trunk.

At this moment, the monkey was suddenly stunned.

Because he saw that Zhen Yuanzi had six hands, his eyes were radiating green light, and two huge fangs protruded from his mouth.

"What is this? Spider?" The monkey was suddenly startled.

Looking back, he suddenly found that the road around him had been blocked by a net of green light, and the branches were moving slowly, approaching him bit by bit.

"I see... I see..." The monkey covered his forehead and smiled slowly: "Spider. Spiders that are tens of thousands of years old and giant trees that are tens of thousands of years old are really a perfect match. I see, no wonder you don't reject monsters. , because you are a fucking monster yourself——!”

Holding the golden hoop. The monkey's figure suddenly spun, and the green spiritual energy that attacked the monkey was instantly chopped to pieces.

The entire crown of the tree shook violently, shaking off countless leaves.

By the time Zhen Yuanzi regained his composure, the monkey had already escaped from the tree crown.

Lingkong stared at the ginseng fruit tree. The monkey was breathing heavily, with a ferocious smile on its face.

"I see, I asked why the demon clan has no great power. It turns out that the great power is here. I almost killed you in that battle more than 600 years ago. I didn't force you to reveal your true identity... because there was no ginseng fruit. Shu, is it useless even if you reveal your true form? Then why the hell can you bear to watch the demon clan being slaughtered? Ah? Tell me!"

"I, Sanqing, Subhuti, Nuwa, and this fruit tree of life have already existed since the creation of the world." After removing the four extra arms, Zhen Yuanzi slowly restored his original face and said lightly : "We don't have the same kind, and we won't have the same kind. For us, human beings who become immortals are just a kind of demon."

"Hehehehe, you are a spider and Nuwa is a snake. What are the three pure states? Is it true that one breath can transform the three pure states? And what is my master?"

"I'm afraid you have to ask him yourself." Zhen Yuanzi replied expressionlessly.

"Okay, I'll ask." After saying that, he roared again, and the monkey once again picked up the golden cudgel and smashed it towards the ginseng fruit tree.

In the strong wind, Xuanzang, who had gradually begun to take effect from the ginseng fruit, was completely weak. He could barely maintain his figure with the help of Xiao Bailong. But he still held Tianpeng's hand and said: "Quickly, stop the Great Sage quickly, we can't fight anymore. If the fight continues, Tathagata will have enough reasons to take action...quickly..."

Looking at the pale Xuanzang, Tianpeng nodded silently, then turned to the black bear spirit beside him and said, "Take him away first, it's too dangerous here."

Say it. He took a step back and escaped from the protective circle.

Blow after blow, the monkey's mouth was shattered.

The ginseng fruit tree desperately waved its branches to resist, and its roots penetrated the ground like giant snakes, wrapping the entire Longevity Mountain tightly.

It did not take another step back. However, in this crazy impact, the entire Wanshou Mountain was moving bit by bit, and everything along the way was crushed into powder.

This rare battle in a century made the monks who were avoiding it dumbfounded.

In normal times, even fights at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level would rarely happen in the Three Realms. At the level of Daluo Jinxian, there are even fewer.

Do you want to know how many Da Luo Jinxian there are in total in this world? These people often know each other, belong to different forces, and hold high positions at the same time. How can they easily do it themselves?

And what is this in front of me?

Every monk present knows Zhen Yuanzi and the ginseng fruit tree. Although they may not recognize the monkey, they definitely recognize this body's cultivation.

Zhen Yuanzi, who was in the middle stage of Daluo Hunyuan Immortal, and whose cultivation was unknown, but had probably reached the peak state of Daluo Hunyuan Daxian, was facing a ginseng fruit tree. And the Monkey King himself is a complete practitioner...Does this mean he wants to destroy the world again?

As the battle became more and more intense, this concern became more and more obvious, and many monks had begun to flee.

Seeing that the ginseng fruit tree could no longer hold on, Zhen Yuanzi once again transformed into the six-armed state and injected spiritual power into the ginseng fruit tree.

Suddenly, countless green spiritual powers shot out from the canopy like tentacles.

The monkey's golden cudgel hit hard, and before it touched the shield of the ginseng fruit tree, it was entangled by countless tentacles. Although the monkey's strength was not at the same level as those tentacles, the tentacles kept breaking during the pull. , but more are still coming, and more importantly, they can greatly neutralize the power of the monkey's golden cudgel and reduce the burden on the ginseng fruit trees.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides have fallen into a stalemate. You and I are going back and forth, but neither of them can achieve any results. As for the Wanshou Mountain boundary as a battlefield, it had already been destroyed to the point of disgrace.

As the monks on the ground fled, almost all the surrounding mountains and rivers were cut down. In the sky, the heavenly patrol generals who were attracted by the fierce battle also circled back and forth in their Pegasus chariots, just when they saw the battle clearly. After the two sides, no one dared to take a step closer. Just observe from a distance and report to heaven at the same time.

There was another heavy collision, and the impact swept across everything. The ginseng fruit tree leaned back slightly, and the monkey retreated completely.

Just when the monkey turned sharply and was about to charge forward again, the canopy had already blocked him.

For a moment, both sides stopped moving, and the whole world became quiet.

Looking at the canopy, the monkey waved his hand and said: "It's useless for you to come. This battle is not something you can participate in."

"You can't fight anymore. If you continue to fight, no matter you win or lose, Tathagata will have an excuse to intervene. Then you still won't get what you want." After a moment of silence, Tianpeng said calmly: "Let me try. .”

As he spoke, he slowly turned back to look at Zhen Yuanzi.

At this time, Zhen Yuanzi was also looking at him, stroking his long beard, and there seemed to be a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Tianpeng cupped his hands towards Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Wanshou Immortal, do you still recognize me?"

After looking at the canopy with half-closed eyes for a long time, Zhen Yuanzi finally shook his head slowly.

"What if this is the case?" As he spoke, Canopy stretched out his hand, and the cloth on his body quickly transformed into a silver-white Tianhe Navy armor, exuding a soft silver light.

Zhen Yuanzi immediately opened his eyes slightly, and after a while, he asked softly: "Are you... the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng?" (To be continued ~^~)

PS: Okay, I admit it, I owe 23,000 yuan... I really can't live my life...
