The Monkey King

At dusk, Xiao Bailong returned to the foot of the mountain to join everyone. His expression looked extremely depressed, and he was in a trance, as if he had lost his soul.

"Where are you going?" the monkey asked softly.

"I... went to the West Sea Dragon Palace... and visited several other Dragon Palaces."

"did you find it?"

Xiao Bailong slowly shook his head.

Walking step by step to the monkey, he collapsed on the ground, his eyes flashing back and forth, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to speak, but not a word came out for a long time.

Several people were just silent.

After a while, Canpeng and Black Bear Spirit came from a distance with firewood in their arms, and set up a bonfire on the open ground.

As night falls, a roaring bonfire is lit.

Xiao Bailong remained silent and stared at the bonfire in a daze. Xuanzang took out two pieces of pancake and offered them to him, but he declined them politely.

For a time, the atmosphere among everyone became more and more silent. Everyone looked at each other and looked at Xiao Bailong from time to time.

After a long time, Xuanzang said softly: "Great Sage, how about you see if there is any way to help Ao Lie find the whereabouts of his wife."

The monkey raised his head and thought for a while, frowned and said: "If the heavenly army caught him, it would be easy. At most, he could go to the Lingxiao Palace to ask for someone. But if the monster caught him, it would be troublesome... Among the three realms, There are many monsters and monsters. Even six hundred years ago, although Huaguo Mountain was unique, it was not really the only one. Dajiao was sent out from time to time to recruit people or to encircle and suppress them. Now it is even more troublesome. I can The most we can do is ask Lu Liuguai to cooperate in the search."

As he said that, the monkey's gaze slightly tilted toward the canopy.

At this glance, Tianpeng happened to raise his eyes and hesitated for a moment. He said softly: "Even if Lu Liuguai holds your sign, he probably won't be able to detect anything, if the other party intends to hide it. I want my advice... If you can find Taishang Laojun to repair this diamond, then , is the fastest way. As long as King Kong Zhuo's power reaches its peak, as long as she is still in the Three Realms and alive, we will definitely be able to find her."

Say this. Everyone, including Xiao Bailong, looked at the monkey.

"What are you looking at me for?" The monkey chuckled, and stirred the bonfire with the wooden stick in his hand in a panic.

Little sparks floated up.

On the other side, Xiao Bailong was still looking forward eagerly.

After another long silence, the monkey looked at the bonfire and muttered leisurely: "I'm not sure if I'm going to find Taishang Laojun now, he will agree to help me repair it. Besides, he didn't explicitly say this at the beginning. This stuff is for me. You might as well have to take it back as soon as you go...you guys tell me, right?"

…

Under a century-old pine tree in the mountains in the distance, Qingxin was sitting quietly holding a Bagua mirror.

For a long time, she frowned slightly and looked at the golden boy beside her.

"That King Kong Zhuo is the master's handiwork, right?"

"That's right." Jintongzi nodded and said: "The King Kong Zhuo was originally the master's protective magic weapon. Not to mention us, the old people in the heaven recognize it. Not to mention the power, just the perception... as long as you have seen it You know the name of the person you are looking for. No matter where he is hidden in the Three Realms, you can easily locate him. This alone is already beyond the reach of thousands of magic weapons in the sky and on the earth."

"Since it is such an important magic weapon, how did it fall into his hands?"

"The master gave it to him when he was trapped in heaven."

"Master gave it to him? You mean the master also helped him?" Qingxin was suddenly confused.

This was a little different from what she knew.

Shi Yuxuan once said that what happened back then cannot be said to be all the monkey's fault. It can be said from what he knows with his heart. Almost everything is caused by this monkey. Is there really any great secret in this?

Seeing this, the golden boy quickly shut up and quietly glanced at the silver boy.

"Say!" Qingxin reacted immediately, pointed at the golden boy and yelled: "If there is anything else I don't know about, tell me immediately."

At this scolding, the two boys Jin and Yin immediately shrank their heads slightly.

After hesitating for a while, the golden boy said: "Junior sister, these things are a long story, and the master does not allow them to be told outside. If you have a chance, you should ask the master yourself. You ask us, this is what we are saying. , or don’t you say it?”

"I don't care!" Qingxin pointed at the golden boy and said sternly: "I want you to tell me clearly now what is going on!"

…

"If it was a monster that caught it, it must have had ulterior motives, right? Your wife didn't resist, and they didn't destroy anything. This is obviously prepared. It won't be long before they will definitely contact you, maybe They want the treasure of the Dragon Palace, maybe they want you to do something for them. Don’t worry, really, don’t worry. They will definitely contact you after a while. Is that right? Everyone agrees?”

The monkey put on a smile and looked around, as if looking for some recognition. However, everyone around him was silent.

The monkey stared at the canopy with wide eyes: "Zhutou Peng, tell me, am I right? Is this the truth?"

Canopy squatted in front of the bonfire and swayed leisurely without speaking.

That's true. According to the inference, it is indeed the case. But who can guarantee 100%? Besides, saying it now is obviously an excuse. How does Tianpeng comment on this?

Suddenly, the corners of Monkey's mouth twitched slightly.

Beside the bonfire, Xiao Bailong was still looking at the monkey eagerly, and the others also glanced at the monkey from time to time.

Although no one spoke a word, there seemed to be a different flavor in their eyes, which made Monkey feel uncomfortable all over.

"Great Sage..."

"I understand." The monkey raised his hand to stop Xiao Bailong from continuing. He calmed down the expression on his face, took a deep breath and stood up: "I'll go to Tushita Palace. You guys go on to Xi, I will come back as soon as possible."

Said. He threw a piece of jade slip to Xuanzang. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not safe, so he threw another piece to the canopy and said, "Take it. If anything happens, call me and I will arrive immediately."

Turning around, he gently patted Xiao Bailong on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, I will definitely get your wife back. Just go west with peace of mind."

After saying that, the monkey rose into the air and turned into a golden light and galloped towards the northeast.

…

"What? You said he fought against his master because of a woman?" Qingxin couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

"Yes." Jintongzi nodded and said, "That woman's name is Feng Ling. She has lived in Tushita Palace for some time. We all call her Miss Feng Ling. That Vajra Diamond was not originally in the hands of the demon monkey. But it is in the hands of Miss Wind Chime. Miss Wind Chime seems to have some background, and the master was very kind to her in the past, and even scolded us several times for not being as good as her."

"At that time, I felt that the master really wanted to accept her as his disciple." The silver boy on the side took up the conversation and said, "But, she is already the disciple of Qingfengzi, the first disciple of Patriarch Subhuti. This one has switched to the sect. Unless it's absolutely necessary, who would do it?" "But it's strange, even if she doesn't switch to another sect, it stands to reason that the master won't let her soul fly away."

"The soul is gone?" Qingxin couldn't help but be shocked.

"It was because the master made Miss Feng Ling lose her soul that the demon monkey went crazy. He killed the Golden Crow, demolished the underworld, including causing a catastrophe outside the Nantian Gate. He went to the thirty-third heaven to kill the master. In the final analysis, it was all to take revenge on the master. It is not at all like the rumors from the outside that he is so heartless that he wants to overthrow the Heavenly Court and become the Lord of the Three Realms."

Qingxin asked in a low voice: "Then doesn't he still have a deep hatred for the master now?"

The two boys, Jin and Silver, looked at each other.

Silver Boy pursed his lips and said, "It shouldn't count. At the end of the battle in heaven, Tathagata appeared, and they talked to each other. We couldn't understand the details, but it seemed that the demon monkey already knew everything. Everything was arranged by Tathagata. I don’t hate the master so much. We don’t know much about the other things, and the senior brother should know better.”

"Purple robe?"

"Yes." Jintongzi nodded and said: "Senior Brother Zipao has been following the master, and he must know more than us. It seems that this matter also involves some issues with the Tiandao Stone. But... these are all taboos in the Tushita Palace. , so we didn’t dare to ask more questions.”

Qingxin couldn't help but be a little stunned.

This was the first time she knew these things.

In her original impression, her so-called tenth senior brother was a domineering guy who always caused trouble, brought harm to the sect and the three realms. I even wondered why Subhuti, as a master, didn't personally clean up the family.

However, the truth seems to be much more complicated than she imagined.

But, is what the person in front of you said true?

Who is that demon monkey? He is the murderous king of demons. The number of heavenly soldiers and generals who died in his hands was hundreds of thousands at least. The gods, mortals, monsters, and even the ghost soldiers of the underworld who died because of him, if you really count them, they are in the millions. .

Such a peerless monster, even if he fought to the end of his life, entered the Nantian Gate and caused the destruction of all living beings, and even almost destroyed the Three Realms, just to avenge a woman? Does anyone believe this?

Because of love?

If it's because of love, then what do they think of the Three Holy Mothers who were crushed under Mount Hua?

Or is it just because of the friendship between teachers?

Others don't know it, but they themselves don't believe it anyway. After all, this story is so incredible. But the two senior brothers in front of me didn't look like they were lying.

And I heard that... the day when the demon monkey attacked happened to be his wedding day, and he started a war before he even had time to enter the bridal chamber...

What kind of person is he, and what kind of past does he have with that monster monkey, that can make him drop everything and go to heaven to kill him?

Qingxin really can’t understand.

Until now, people in Xianyue Sanxing Cave rarely mentioned these things. And she actually doesn't have much interest in understanding this period of history in detail. Even when someone occasionally talks about it in heaven, she will find excuses to change the topic.

After all, in her eyes, this tenth senior brother has always been the shame of Xianyue Sanxing Cave. That is to say, I heard that he had broken away from Buddhism, so he would pay attention to this aspect if he was pure.

Now it seems that I was a little too preconceived.

The three of them were silent for a long time. Golden Boy asked cautiously: "It depends on the situation. Junior sister, you also misunderstood something before. Otherwise, should we go back to Tusita Palace? This monster monkey is indeed difficult to deal with. Don't Speaking of us, even Master can’t do anything to him.”

Qingxin blushed and frowned: "Who said that? Is there any misunderstanding? I don't care about other things. He tied me to a tree. This is a real thing. I can't let him go. I must teach him a lesson!"

With that said, Qingxin put the Bagua Mirror into Silver Boy's hand and said, "You guys continue to stare at them here, and I'll go back to Tusita Palace. Let's see what tricks that monster monkey does!"

…

at this time. In a cave tens of thousands of miles away, under a large stalactite, a multi-eyed monster is sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed to rest.

A beautiful-looking woman in green clothes slowly came to his side with broken steps.

The multi-eyed monster slowly opened its eyes and glanced at the woman in green, then said softly: "How's it going? Did you find out anything?"

The woman in green shook her head slowly and said: "No. It's still the same as before. I don't know anything when asked. What I really tell you is full of loopholes. According to my sister, if this continues, if I don't get a severe punishment, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out even if I ask again. What."

"A severe punishment?" The multi-eyed monster's brows slowly frowned, and he waved his hand: "The matter has not been clarified, and even the enemy can't even distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. A severe punishment. What if it is discovered that her husband is really loyal to The Great Sage, I’m afraid it will be difficult to speak.”

"What if I don't get a severe sentence?"

Taking a deep breath, the multi-eyed monster asked: "Is there any news from Prime Minister Lu?"

"Prime Minister Lu has returned from Wanshou Mountain, and there seems to be nothing unusual about him."

The multi-eyed monster's frown deepened.

As for the monkey's reappearance, he got the news not much later than Lu Liuguai. But he always felt that the situation was not as simple as others thought.

To know. Monkey is the king of demons. Now that he has come out, why not re-gather the old team? Could it be that he is already discouraged?

Even if you are really discouraged, you will not become a demon king running errands for Buddhism and acting as a bodyguard for Buddhist monks. This is really too cheap.

There is also the incredible journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Why travel this hundred and eighty thousand miles? If you simply want to spread scriptures to the Eastern Land, Buddhism can do it at any time. Even if we really have to go through the motions and tell a good story, no matter what, Lingshan will not deliberately spread the news to frame this Buddhist monk.

Faintly, he always felt that there was something going on here, so much so that he was still unsure whether he should contact the monkey immediately.

After hesitating for a long time, the multi-eyed monster could only sigh lightly and said softly: "Let's take her into custody for now. If the hard one doesn't work, then try the soft one. You sisters, stay with her every day and see if you can. Get some other news."

"Sister, I understand." said the woman in green.

…

A moment later, Nantianmen.

The empty plains and towering walls are just like the scenery hundreds of years ago, only less bloody.

After receiving the news, the soldiers from the brigade hurriedly poured into the Nantian Gate, and the huge red door slammed shut.

Only then did the monkey land firmly on the ground. Looking up, there was not even a ghost around, let alone anyone.

This situation should be expected. Today, apart from those like Li Jing who have holy orders and are forced to meet him, among the gods in heaven, who else wants to meet him? When the wind blows, they can run faster than a rabbit.

Sighing lightly, he walked toward the door step by step, holding the golden hoop.

The harsh sound of the golden cudgel being dragged became the only theme song of the world at this time.

All eyes are on you.

…

"Your Majesty——! Oops——!" A heavenly general pushed open the door of a heavenly soldier. The moment he stepped into the royal study, he tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.

The heavenly soldier holding the door also followed into the royal study: "Your Majesty, he..."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and asked the soldiers to go out first.

At this time, several immortals in the study looked towards General Tian. Even the Jade Emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne stood up, stretched his neck to look at the general lying on the ground, and said with some displeasure: "Even big things have to wait for the military guard to report. This is Rules. What kind of behavior do you have when you are so shocked...?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Tian Jiang hurriedly got up from the ground and said with cupped hands: "The demon monkey is here and has already arrived outside the Nantian Gate!"

Suddenly, all the immortals present couldn't help but take a breath.

The memorial in the Jade Emperor's hand fell to the ground with a "clack".

…

Everything seemed deserted. But there are countless pairs of eyes watching quietly through the thick walls of Nantianmen, watching the King of Demons walking alone on the empty and boundless ground.

Every heavenly soldier held his breath, and every heavenly general pressed the hilt of his sword.

He lazily looked up at the door and whispered, "Open the door."

This sentence is an understatement, inside that door. The tens of thousands of troops who were waiting in full formation had their hearts in their throats.

At this moment, no one answered, or in other words, no one dared to answer.

…

On the tower, Li Jing hurried over, and all the generals present hurriedly surrounded him.

Pick up the telescope. Li Jing looked outside Nantianmen. When I saw the monkey standing in front of the gate holding a golden hoop, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Putting down the telescope, he asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why did he come suddenly?"

"I don't know, I haven't received any news. We found out after he was discovered by our sentry on the way and reported back. If he had run a step slower just now, the garrison would have had to collide with him."

"Is there any change in the mortal demon army?"

"No... or we haven't discovered it yet. We have just ordered a detailed investigation to not let go of any clues."

at this time. All the generals present, including Li Jing, turned pale.

…

Raising his head, the monkey said leisurely to the door: "I said, open the door. Did you hear it?"

The voice echoed in the empty square outside Nantianmen.

…

"King of heaven, what should I do? How should I answer?"

"Don't talk yet..." Li Jing's hands tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again, and his tongue licked his dry lips, and the big beads of sweat on his forehead had slowly slipped down.

what on earth is it? Why did he come suddenly?

What pissed him off? Or does he just want to ask for something else?

For a while. King Li Tian, ​​who controlled all the troops in heaven and had all the power in the world, was also panicked.

"First...send someone to report to Your Majesty."

"promise."

A general behind Li Jing cupped his hands and quickly turned around and left.

The rest of the generals still stood there, looking at each other with uneasiness.

…

For a long time, the other party didn't react at all. The monkey took a deep breath, held back all his strength, and shouted: "Open the door immediately -! Do you understand?"

This roar spread like thunder, and even the floating clouds in the air were trembling slightly.

The tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals inside the gate, including Li Jing, were all shocked and their eyes widened.

Nantianmen is the last barrier of heaven. Everyone knows what it means to open Nantianmen.

But if it doesn't open, can he really not get in?

Li Jing wiped his sweat again and again, unaware that his sleeves were already soaked. The same is true for all the generals around.

Raising the golden hoop and pointing at the door, the monkey tilted his head and said, "If you don't open it, do you believe I will smash this door?"

…

Li Jing swallowed slowly and dryly.

The Heavenly General on the side said in a low voice: "King of Heaven, this demon monkey has not yet recovered its Heavenly Dao cultivation, so it should be unable to break through the Nantianmen formation."

What he said was reasonable, but none of the generals around him agreed, and their faces were still pale.

Many, many years ago, someone also said this. However, most of those who said this are dead.

Do they dare to fight again?

Li Jing's face was livid, his eyes kept moving back and forth, and he was already making calculations in his heart.

…

At this time, the monkey outside the door gave him a slap with the golden hoop and started laughing: "Are you really not going to open it? I want to talk to you nicely and ignore you, right? Then don't blame me for being rude."

…

Li Jing began to make desperate calculations and calculations in his heart. The muscles on his face already looked a little cramped.

…

After a long time, there was still no movement, and the monkey chuckled: "Okay, since you are fighting with me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, the monkey tightened his grip, raised his golden hoop, pointed it at the door, and was about to smash it down.

At this moment, Li Jing suddenly shouted loudly: "Great Sage, please show mercy! Li Jing will open the door right now -!"

The generals present were all stunned and looked at Li Jing in astonishment.

A general standing next to Li Jing said in a low voice: "King of Heaven, just open the door like this? At least we should see what His Majesty means."

"Send someone to go to the Lingxiao Palace to ask His Majesty. Let Your Majesty summon all the immortal families to discuss it carefully, and then issue an imperial edict to open the door?" Li Jing rolled his eyes at the general, and said with a slight trembling: "Use your brain, you Are you sure this door will still be there when the edict arrives?"

With that said, Li Jing stretched out his hand to push away the general, came to the front of King Shiguo, and whispered: "Open a crack, I will go out, and then you close it immediately. Unless I let you open the door, don't open it again. Understand me What do you mean?"

The Heavenly King Chiguo was slightly stunned, and said quickly: "The Heavenly King is righteous, but the Nantianmen still needs you to be in charge personally, and you cannot put yourself in danger. It is better to go to a humble position."

"I may not be able to contain him, but can you?" Li Jing said with wide eyes.

…

Amidst the harsh sound, the door slowly opened a crack.

Li Jing turned sideways and got out of the door.

Seeing the monkey from a distance, he put on a smile, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "General Li Jing, please see the Great Sage."

Before he finished speaking, the door behind him had slammed shut.

Looking up at the towering door and then at Li Jing, the monkey smiled meaningfully: "What do you mean?"

With that said, the monkey walked towards Li Jing step by step, holding the golden hoop.

At this moment, Li Jing was already sweating profusely under his red tasseled helmet, and the generals in the door behind him held their breaths and stared intently.

The entire Nantianmen was silent.

His lips trembled slightly, Li Jing gritted his teeth and cupped his hands and said: "Don't be surprised, Great Sage... Opening the Nantian Gate requires His Majesty's decree. The general has already sent people to the Lingxiao Palace to request the decree. The sage was impatient to wait, so... so he came out to chat with the great sage. I wonder why the great sage came here this time? "

"Really? You got the Jade Emperor's will to open the Nantian Gate, so how did you come out just now?" The monkey stopped in front of Li Jing, looked Li Jing up and down with his eyebrows lowered, looked directly into Li Jing's eyes and said: " Actually, it’s nothing. I just need to talk to Laojun about something. To go to the thirty-third heaven, you must pass through the Nantian Gate, so I want you to open the door."

The Heavenly King Chiguo inside the gate had quickly written down the monkey's original words and handed them to the Heavenly General who was waiting at the side, ordering him to rush to the Lingxiao Palace to inform the Jade Emperor immediately.

"Talk to Laojun?" Li Jing trembled slightly and opened his mouth to apologize, and said cautiously: "I don't know, the reason why the Great Sage is looking for Laojun is..."

"Purify the Vajra." The monkey waved the Vajra on his wrist in front of his eyes, and said leisurely: "What, you can do it too?"

Li Jing wiped his sweat, lowered his head and said, "How could this general be so good? The Great Sage is just kidding."

The monkey asked one word at a time: "Then do you want to open the door or not?"

After asking this question, Li Jing's heart suddenly rose to his throat again, and the generals inside the door also widened their eyes.

Everyone was just silent.

Li Jing looked back quietly, his heart pounding, and he weighed the gains and losses repeatedly.

The generals behind Nantianmen wiped their sweat violently.

After a while, the monkey glanced at Li Jing and said: "Stop playing tricks with me, open or not, just one sentence. Do you think I need to lie to you?"

Li Jing was excited, shook his head quickly, and said with a smile: "The Great Sage really loves to joke, how could the Great Sage lie to someone who is in a low position?"

As he spoke, he turned around and shouted: "Open the door——! Open the door for the Great Sage!"

The order has been given, but there is no movement from the heavenly soldiers and generals in Nantian Gate.

"What should we do? Do we still have to wait for His Majesty's decree?" The general standing beside King Dhrita asked in a low voice.

After hesitating for a while, the King of Dhrita Dharmaraja waved his hand aside and said: "Let's open it. Since the King of Heaven has given the order, let's open it." (To be continued ~^~)
