The Monkey King

From all directions, several groups of demon armies are rushing towards Wanshou Mountain in a mighty manner. Heaven is also on the highest alert. The whole world seems to have been affected by the wind, and its nerves are stretched to the extreme.

However, at this moment, the appearance of the canopy temporarily stopped the situation from developing in a worse direction.

On the ginseng fruit tree, the canopy slowly revealed its true form, which made the monkeys in the distance raise their eyebrows slightly.

Taiyi Zhenren, who was high in the sky, quietly stopped the spell he was about to cast.

Zhen Yuanzi just watched quietly, with doubts and confusion on his face.

The whole world went silent.

After a long time, the pig-shaped Tianpeng slowly opened his eyes, sighed lightly, and said softly: "Just now, the Great Immortal Wanshou asked Tianpeng if this is his true body... This one is Tianpeng's current true body. Yes, a pig...monster."

Zhen Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, looking at this bloated body, he was speechless for a moment.

The majestic, handsome and courageous general turned into a pig in the end. Although I had heard about it for a long time, when I saw it with my own eyes, the impact of this moment was huge.

Bowing slightly and cupping his hands, Tianpeng sighed softly: "Tianpeng has never forgotten what the Great Immortal Wanshou said to Tianpeng eight hundred years ago. 'It is not only the beauties who are unlucky, but also the loyal ones.'... What a good sentence. Only It’s a pity that in the past Tianpeng was so obsessed with it that he couldn’t see through it, and he failed to remind him of the Great Immortal Wanshou.”

Zhen Yuanzi hesitated slightly and asked softly: "So, you regret it?"

"Yes." Tianpeng nodded.

This nods. Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help laughing, with endless ridicule in his expression, and said leisurely: "I regret it, so I chose to follow this monster monkey and become a real monster? That's it. Pindao looked at it in those days. Wrong sight."

Tianpeng lowered his head and stared at the thick tree trunk at his feet, and said: "Tianpeng really regrets it. Tianpeng thought that being loyal and good was just a matter of misfortune, but the price was far beyond Tianpeng's expectation. Just like what Wanshou Great Immortal said just now : In the face of righteousness, what does life mean? A bad life is not terrible. What is terrible is that losing everything, even the so-called righteousness, is also lost. This is the situation of Genpeng now."

"For so many years, Tianpeng has been thinking about what he did wrong and why it led to such an ending. Being loyal and good will definitely lead to a bad life? Not only a bad life, but also harming everyone around him. In exchange for a fate worse than life. I thought about it for more than six hundred years...until I saw the Wanshou Immortal again, saw the ginseng fruit, and saw the Wanshou Immortal defending his 'righteousness' like a canopy in the past."

"What do you want to say?" Zhen Yuanzi's eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, and he looked at the canopy meaningfully.

Slowly turning his head, Canpeng looked at a chariot flying in the sky in the distance, and said: "What happened here has probably spread throughout the three realms at this moment. What will happen next? Can the Wanshou Immortal be able to Did you expect it?"

"this……"

"Ten thousand demons will gather in Longevity Mountain. The same is true for Taoist forces. A war is about to break out." Tianpeng sighed leisurely: "And all of this will have nothing to do with Buddhism. The Great Immortal Longevity has eliminated Sun Wukong's desire to defeat Tathagata. Do you know What will he do next? Without Master Xuanzang, will Tathagata really take action in time to stop this monster monkey? Or will he let him fight the Taoists to the last drop, and then come out to clean up the mess?"

"Buddhists are afraid of Master Xuanzang's enlightenment, but they cannot directly take action to contaminate cause and effect. Taoists are afraid of Master Xuanzang's enlightenment. They can take action directly, but they have to worry about the demons' counterattack. The demon king Sun Wukong needs Master Xuanzang's enlightenment because he cannot deal with it. Buddhism, but it can deal with Taoism...Buddhism, Taoism, Master Xuanzang, and the demon clan are actually checks and balances among each other. Once one link is missing, the entire situation will change drastically. Although Taoism does not want to see Xuanzang The Master has attained enlightenment, but can Taoism really afford the drastic changes caused by the immediate loss of Master Xuanzang?”

After saying this, the monkey in the distance suddenly frowned, but did not speak.

Zhen Yuanzi blinked his bloodshot eyes, seeming to be thinking carefully about something.

Slowly turning back, Tianpeng looked at Zhen Yuanzi: "The most ideal ending for Taoists is for Xuanzang to voluntarily give up his journey to the west. In that case, his Taoist heart is unstable. Taoists can also avoid the demon king's wrath. . But, Wanshou Immortal, given the current situation, what are the chances of this ending?"

Zhen Yuanzi looked down. On the ruins, Xuanzang looked up at the ginseng fruit tree. He looked like he was already dying. However, the determination in those eyes did not diminish at all.

"If the Great Immortal Wanshou still trusts Tianpeng, then please listen to Tianpeng's words. The best ending for Taoism will never happen. If Master Xuanzang is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, this journey to the West will be impossible from the beginning. No, it is impossible to go all the way to Wuzhuang Temple." Tianpeng paused slightly, and then said: "If this is not the ending, then what will happen next and how many casualties will be, the Wanshou Immortal must have guessed. The biggest crisis in the Taoist sect may have been resolved, but another crisis was triggered early. What Tianpeng wants to say is that some loyal and good people are not only miserable, but also bring disaster to the country and the people. If Tianpeng had been willing to handle the situation in front of him in a more tactful way Difficulty, then it will not implicate Nishang, nor will it implicate the brothers of the Tianhe Navy, and more likely, it will not bring about that world-destroying battle... Wanshou Immortal is not afraid of death, and neither is Tianpeng. But behind this , there are things more terrifying than death.”

Tianpeng slowly bowed, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "So, Tianpeng wants to say, please tell Tianpeng how to rescue Master Xuanzang and bring this world back from the edge of another war... Tianpeng is here to take my place." All the people in the world would like to thank the Great Immortal Wanshou."

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help being stunned.

The whole world was silent.

A wisp of breeze caressed the sleeves, and a bead of sweat slowly slid down Zhen Yuanzi's forehead.

For a long time, he lowered his head slightly, blinked his eyes desperately, lowered his head, raised his head, lowered his head, raised his head, and hesitated to speak, but never spoke a word, and never made a final decision.

Canopy looked back at the monkey. Under the attention of everyone in heaven and earth, he slowly walked towards Zhen Yuanzi step by step, bowed down, and whispered something in Zhen Yuanzi's ear.

After a while. Zhen Yuanzi's eyes widened, and he looked at the canopy in astonishment. It took him a while to recover, and he shook his head helplessly. The whisk that had been held in his hand slowly dropped down, and Zhen Yuanzi instantly released the condensed spiritual power on his body.

"No fight?" A thunderous voice sounded in everyone's mind, that was the voice of the ginseng fruit tree.

"No more fighting." Zhen Yuanzi patted the tree trunk gently and sighed: "Go back."

Said. He patted Canopy's arm lightly again. Passing by him, he walked forward step by step along the huge branches, raised his head to face the monkey hanging in the air, and said loudly: "I will treat Master Xuanzang right now."

Suddenly, the monks in the distance and the sky patrol were in an uproar.

"What's going on? Why don't you fight if you don't want to fight?"

"What did the pig demon whisper to the Great Immortal Wanshou?"

"We've already reached this point, so we're going to stop just now?"

At this moment. Taiyi Zhenren, who was hiding in the clouds, was even more confused. Even the monkey felt a little weird.

"Could it be a scam?" This was the monkey's first thought.

The ginseng fruit tree slowly untied the roots that entangled the entire Longevity Mountain, and moved slowly towards its original position like a giant octopus.

Zhen Yuanzi rose into the air and flew towards Xuanzang on the ruins.

The monkey's eyes turned slightly, and he quickly chased after him holding the golden hoop.

Seeing Zhen Yuanzi slowly falling beside him, Xuanzang held up his hands tremblingly, clasped his hands together, and bowed: "I thank the Immortal Wanshou..."

"Huh, thank you for what? Isn't it the poor Taoist who made you suffer like this?" As he said that, Zhen Yuanzi stretched out his hand to hold Xuanzang's pulse gate.

The monkey on the side is still holding the golden cudgel and maintaining a fighting posture. A pair of eyes looked at Zhen Yuanzi sideways.

After a while, Zhen Yuanzi took out a pill from his sleeve, crushed it in his palm, divided a quarter of it and handed it to Xuanzang's hand. He sighed softly: "Take it. According to this dosage, it's just right." .”

Xuanzang was about to swallow it. But the monkey reached out and grabbed his wrist, looked at Zhen Yuanzi and said leisurely: "We have agreed, if anything happens to him, I will not leave you in Wuzhuang Temple. Even if you dismiss the disciples, it will be the same .”

Zhen Yuanzi raised his head slightly and said loudly: "Don't worry, if you really want to harm him, I just need to continue the stalemate with you. There is no need to change the name."

The monkey then let go of Xuanzang's wrist.

The cultivators in the distance, the patrol generals in the sky, and the Taiyi master who was hidden all the time could not help but crane their heads to watch.

It wasn't until they saw Xuanzang swallowing the elixir, saw Zhen Yuanzi inject spiritual power into Xuanzang's body to draw the power of the medicine, and saw Xuanzang's face gradually improving, that they all breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

New news spread throughout the three realms.

In the imperial study room, the Jade Emperor held the latest memorial in his hands, and slumped on the dragon chair like a deflated ball, laughing self-deprecatingly.

However, for Li Jing, the trouble was not over yet.

After receiving the news of the reconciliation between Hou Hou and Zhen Yuanzi, Lu Liuguai ordered the fleet to return, and he and several generals accelerated towards Wanshou Mountain. The other two groups, the Bull Demon King and the Nine-Headed Insect, stopped the entire fleet and lingered.

In order to completely calm down the situation that had finally eased slightly, Li Jing began to send people to contact the two demon kings and persuade them to withdraw their troops and restore everything to its original state.

A war that was about to break out came to an end so easily.

The ginseng fruit tree pierced its roots into the soil again, and Zhen Yuanzi rose into the air, waving the whisk in his hand.

Dots of golden light fell from the sky, and the rocks trembled slightly as they flew up and reassembled.

Everything that was originally destroyed is slowly returning to its original state bit by bit with his help, including the vegetation.

Looking at Xuanzang, who was slowly walking into the attic that had just been restored to its original state with the support of Xiao Bailong, the monkey couldn't help but frowned and turned to look at the canopy on the side.

"What did you just say to him? Why did he suddenly change his mind so completely?"

Tianpeng pursed his lips and said, "I talked about something about Pudu."

"What about Pudu?" Monkey frowned even more tightly: "What about Pudu? Tell me about it too."

As he spoke, the monkey stretched out its ears.

Looking at the monkey, Tianpeng smiled faintly, but turned around and walked away, saying leisurely: "It's better for you to realize it yourself. Master Xuanzang is by your side every day, but you have never thought about deeply understanding what you are protecting." Dao'?"

The monkey became more and more confused when he heard it. He stretched out his hand to pick out his ears and followed quickly, shouting: "Please tell me clearly what you said. Don't say half of it."

After hesitating for a long time, Master Taiyi who was high in the sky finally turned around and left.

…

At this time, in the Tusita Palace, Qingxin was frowning and staring at the Taoist boy who came to report.

The Taoist boy was staring at her so much that she felt uncomfortable all over, and his head was buried lower and lower.

After a while, Qingxin took a deep breath and asked, "Then what?"

The boy raised his head and blinked blankly.

"Let me ask you, what then? Is it over like this? No more fighting?"

Tao Tong shook his head blankly.

"It's been going on for a long time and it's over like this?" Qingxin suddenly went crazy and screamed "Ah--", which made the frightened birds on the side look at her with their eyes wide open.

"I was ready to gather my troops to go fight, and you suddenly told me that they are not going to fight? What does this mean? What does it mean? What does it mean-! Please explain it to me clearly-!"

Screaming, Qingxin stretched out her hand to pull the Taoist boy's collar. Que'er on the side quickly held her wrist to stop her, and said softly: "Sister Qingxin, calm down, it's not his fault."

"I know it's not his fault, but...but...I'm ready, just show me this...it's really..."

Taking a breath, Qingxin turned around and kicked hard on the big box containing Tiandao Stone powder.

Just hear a bang. Taishang Laojun, who was still hiding in the basement, covered his chest and wiped sweat violently. Subhuti beside him covered his mouth and tried not to laugh.

Que'er asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with sister Qingxin?"

Turning his head, Qingxin pushed Que'er away and looked at the Taoist boy who came to report. He frowned and asked seriously: "This time, was the monkey injured?"

"without."

"Not at all?"

"Not at all."

"His opponent is the Great Immortal Wanshou, and there is also a ginseng fruit tree, but he is not injured?"

The Taoist boy raised his head and thought for a moment, then replied: "He was the one who hit the Wanshou Immortal and the Ginseng Fruit Tree all the way. To say that the Wanshou Immortal and the Ginseng Fruit Tree were injured to some extent, but to him, not at all."

Immediately afterwards, there was a period of silence, and the two of them stared at each other.

After a while, Qingxin stroked her chest and sighed deeply: "No, no, he is Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortal. How could he give in so easily? There must be a back-up plan, there must be a back-up plan. You should teach that monkey a lesson no matter what."

Before he finished speaking, a Taoist disciple hurried in, cupped his hands and said, "The latest news, Immortal Wanshou really has a back-up plan! He is going to swore sworn vows with that monster monkey!"

Suddenly, Qingxin's eyes widened and she almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

There was silence in the entire hall for a while.

"This...is this a back-up move...?" (To be continued ~^~)
