The Monkey King

The towering red door slowly opened.

The monkey started to walk in. Behind him, Li Jing lowered his head and followed closely, as cautiously as a slave, fearing that his master would be unhappy in the slightest.

The golden hoop dragged on the ground, making a harsh sound, and the whole world seemed to be listening quietly.

Step by step through the Nantianmen, I looked up and saw the vast school grounds, the numerous flags, and the endless silver armor. There are also battleships flying in the sky.

Hundreds of thousands of troops had quietly assembled, and countless eyes were focused on him, most of them filled with fear.

The monkey stopped.

At this moment, the whole world was silent.

Li Jing behind him seemed to realize something and coughed twice.

Standing on the city tower, King Chiguo woke up suddenly, punched his breastplate with a fist, and said loudly: "Welcome to the Great Sage!"

The heavenly soldiers and generals present looked at each other, punched their breastplates with their fists, and made a military salute to the monkey, but all of them lowered their heads.

Suddenly, the corner of the monkey's mouth slightly raised and he laughed.

He looked back at Li Jing and nodded.

Li Jing wiped his sweat violently, smiled awkwardly, and whispered: "Thank you, Great Sage... for your appreciation."

…

In the imperial study, the Jade Emperor held a red pen in his hand and was still hesitating about the memorial.

Suddenly, another general rushed into the imperial study without warning.

Suddenly, everyone present looked at him. Everyone opened their eyes wide.

That day the general lowered his head slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Qi... Your Majesty, the demon monkey has entered the Nantian Gate."

The Xian family present were in an uproar.

"This...what on earth is going on?"

"Did Li Jing let him in? Or did he call in?"

"Your Majesty, it's better to send someone to the Tathagata Buddha of the West as soon as possible. Only he can control this monster monkey. If it's too late, it will be too late!"

The Jade Emperor's heart had completely turned cold. With his lips trembling slightly and his eyes blinking, he whispered for a while: "Then...then what's going on now?"

That day the general glanced around and whispered: "It was King Li who let him in. Now King Li is following the Nantianmen army. Judging from the situation, the monster monkey really wants to go to the thirty-third heaven to see him. Taishang Laojun, I have no other ideas."

Say this. The Jade Emperor slowly breathed a sigh of relief. After stroking his chest for a while, he whispered: "The Nantianmen army is not enough. Hurry, quickly gather all my imperial generals and ask them to follow the monster monkey! Beware of his attacks!"

"promise!"

The general turned around and was about to leave that day, but the Jade Emperor quickly stretched out his hand to call him, and warned him: "Don't anger the demon monkey. If...if he asks, just say that he is a guard...to help him lead the way." "

"promise."

…

The heaven shrouded in clouds and mist, the palace palace looming far and near, and a floating ship that I saw by chance was also a warship.

In front of me, everything is bathed in the bright sunshine, and it looks so holy. However, the entire heaven seems to have been cleared, and the immortals who are usually busy coming and going. No one can be seen at this moment.

The monkey flew slowly, raising his height bit by bit. Behind him, Li Jing and Nezha followed like a little follower.

Palace after palace passed by him.

As his speed gradually increased, many of the troops that originally surrounded him had fallen behind. However, more powerful generals from all directions joined in, still enveloping the monkeys. In the end, there were only four to five hundred generals left who could still keep up with the monkey's speed.

At this moment. Except for those civilian immortals and those above the thirty-third heaven, all the top combat forces in the entire heaven have been dispatched to "escort" the monkey.

With a faint sigh, the monkey gave up his plan to continue accelerating.

After all, we are here to ask for help. It is not good to cause trouble at this juncture. Since the other party has already taken a step back and opened the Nantianmen, he has to accept it as soon as possible.

The dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, let alone the Jade Emperor?

Among the crowd, the newly appointed Jiaomu Jiao seemed to be a little distracted. He lowered his head and searched for something among the generals.

"Where's Kui Mulang? Why didn't you see him?"

A general next to him whispered: "Master Kui Mulang previously said that he wanted to practice in seclusion, so he asked for leave. He has not seen anyone for more than ten days. This time, His Majesty ordered that all the generals must be present and send someone to deliver the order. , only to find that he was no longer in his mansion, and his subordinates couldn't tell where he had gone. Now we are sending people to look for him. "

Hearing this, Jiaomu Jiao nodded, turned all his attention to the monkey, and asked no more questions.

Along the way, from the junction of the sixth and seventh heavens where the Nantian Gate is located, a group of people walked up in a mighty manner. All the immortal families in the entire heaven closed their doors except for a few who were curious and not afraid of death.

…

On the thirty-third heaven, a purple-clothed Taoist boy hurried into the attic and said, "Miss Que'er, the demon monkey has already come to the thirty-third heaven."

"Didn't Nantianmen block him?" Que'er, who was kneeling in the hall, asked softly.

That gaze was as calm as still water.

"No, Li Jing gave up and opened the door."

"Where is your Majesty?"

"His Majesty was so frightened that he collapsed on the dragon chair. When he heard that the demon monkey was not looking for him, he was so happy that he quickly sent someone to escort him to Tushita Palace."

Hearing this, Queer sighed helplessly.

That battle more than 600 years ago really caused a lot of trouble for Heaven. So much so that when they heard the name of this monster monkey, the generals were already cowering in fear.

He was obviously a very dangerous monster, but he was allowed to enter Nantianmen so easily. Normally, it would be unimaginable.

However, there are many unimaginable things happening to him, including this one.

"I won't see him anymore. Please see him." Taishang Laojun's voice rang in Que'er's mind.

Que'er hesitated for a moment. He said to the Taoist boy on the side: "Go and greet him, and save him from looking around."

"I'll go right away." The purple-clothed Taoist boy nodded and hurried out the door.

Looking at the retreating figure of the child, Queer slightly tightened the handkerchief hidden under her sleeve.

"Why, are you still afraid of seeing him?" Taishang Laojun's voice sounded in Que'er's mind again.

"Still...a little bit." He took a deep breath. Que'er smiled peacefully and sighed softly: "You should get used to it soon."

…

In the secret room, Taishang Laojun frowned and sighed helplessly.

…

As the eldest brother of Tushita Palace, Zipao and his two junior brothers used a spell to fly into the air and hung below Tushita Palace, looking at the lower world and waiting quietly.

Not long after, a figure appeared in the mist below. But not a monkey. But be pure in heart.

Compared with monkeys, Qingxin's speed is definitely much slower, and he will naturally arrive at Nantianmen later than monkeys. However, after the Nantian Gate opened, it was Monkey who was slower. After all, he had to accommodate the speed of those generals.

Due to his arrival, the entire heaven's nerves have been stretched to the extreme, and any abnormal movement may lead to unpredictable consequences. That results. However, Qingxin, who had taken a long detour, arrived first.

As soon as she saw the purple robe, Qingxin slowly flew towards him.

"Why are you here, Junior Sister? I'm waiting for that monster monkey."

"I'll wait with you." After saying that, Qingxin leaned behind Zipao.

Not long after, they saw the monkey surrounded by heavenly generals from a distance.

Upon seeing this, Qingxin immediately opened her eyes.

In all the years she has been in and out of Nantianmen, she has never seen such a large battle. In the entire heaven, almost all the generals she could name and ranked were among them.

Li Jing was the oldest and most powerful person in the court. She followed the monkey obediently like a little daughter-in-law, with a flattering face. But the monkey wearing a cheap armor, surrounded by these generals, still looked calm and showed no fear... To be more precise, the only ones who were afraid were the generals surrounding him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that those generals are very scared. Scared to death. As long as the monkey takes action, no one will doubt that the heavens surrounding him will disperse in a rush.

Seeing this scene, Qingxin was really stunned.

The majestic heaven and the majestic Jade Emperor are like a joke in front of this monster monkey.

Several Taoist boys who came to greet him bowed from a distance and shouted respectfully: "Disciples are ordered to welcome the Great Sage to Tushita Palace."

This shout, perhaps due to the monkey's power, Qingxin unconsciously bowed and handed it over.

After giving Zipao a faint glance, Monkey's eyes finally fell on Qingxinshen behind Zipao: "Why, junior sister Qingxin also came to Tushita Palace?"

Qingxin frowned slightly and said nothing.

The monkey took a deep breath and asked the purple robe: "Did your master ask you to pick me up?"

"No. Miss Que'er asked us to pick you up."

"Miss Que'er?" Monkey's brow trembled slightly.

Turning sideways, Zipao said softly: "Please come with me, Great Sage."

With that said, he drove the magic to fly towards the Tushita Palace above his head.

The rest of the people also quickly followed.

At the same time, the heavenly generals who originally surrounded the monkey dispersed, and together with the army that arrived later, they surrounded the entire Tushita Palace on three levels, inside and outside, of the pumice stone.

Following the purple robe, the other two Taoist boys, Monkey, Li Jing, and Qingxin Yitong who came to greet him fell onto the path on the edge of Tushita Palace.

Along the way, the monkey would glance at Qingxin on the side from time to time. Qingxin just kept a straight face and said nothing.

Walking along the cobblestone aisle, passing by woods full of exotic flowers and plants, passing by a creek flowing with clear water, we all the way to a small red attic.

The door of the attic was open. Standing outside the door and looking from a distance, you could see Que'er kneeling in the hall of the attic. Water was already boiling on the charcoal stove beside it.

"Great Sage, please."

"Where is your master?" Monkey asked softly.

"Master is away. During this period, all affairs of Tushita Palace will be in charge of Miss Que'er."

The monkey didn't ask any more questions. He took a deep breath, opened his legs and crossed the high threshold.

Li Jing also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zipao.

Zipao didn't tell the reason, and Li Jing didn't ask.

After walking through the courtyard, which was only five feet wide, the monkey climbed up the stone steps, walked into the main hall, and came to Que'er step by step.

Que'er raised his head slightly and glanced at the monkey, then lowered his head and whispered softly: "The Great Sage is here. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar."

As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture.

The monkey nodded, walked aside, and sat down cross-legged.

Lifting the boiling water aside, Que'er began to make tea, her movements as light as a dance.

The monkey squinted silently. Outside the door, Li Jing stretched his head to watch, while Qingxin occasionally took a look.

The entire hall was silent.

Not long after, Que'er placed a cup of hot tea on the floor along with a mat, but seemed to be waiting for something. She just watched quietly and made no further moves. From the beginning to the end, except for the first glance, Que'er always lowered his head slightly and did not look directly at the monkey.

After about a third of the incense stick, she reached out and pushed the tea cup and the cushion towards the monkey.

"Great Sage, please have some tea."

The monkey silently picked up the teacup and took a sip. The temperature was just right. It seemed that he was just waiting for the temperature of the tea to drop.

"Where is Taishang Laojun? Aren't you in Tushita Palace?"

"Master is out."

"Did you become your teacher?"

"Does the Great Sage still remember the little girl?"

At this question, Monkey was stunned for a moment, turned away his face and said softly: "I remember, I remember..."

After a slight pause, Monkey then asked, "Did you become your teacher?"

Que'er nodded slightly and whispered: "There is no place to go. If you want to stay in Tushita Palace, you must have a proper identity. So I performed the ceremony of master and disciple."

"Oh. Then where has he gone now?"

"It's not easy for a disciple to care about the master's affairs."

"Can I contact him?"

"I'm afraid I can't."

After taking King Kong Zhuo off his wrist and placing it on the floor, Monkey gently pushed it toward Que'er and asked, "This magic weapon needs to be repaired. I don't know how long it will take."

Que'er picked up the diamond and looked at it carefully before putting it back.

In the blink of an eye, Que'er lowered her head slightly and transmitted a voice to the ears of Lao Jun who was hiding in the secret room: "Master, how long will it take to repair this vajra?"

"Repairing... Hey, how can this thing be so easy? Without the Tiandao Stone, who else can repair such a magical weapon?"

"That……"

"It's okay, you can have tea with him first. I can't fix the King Kong Zhuo, but I can find the person he's looking for, and I can make him return the King Kong Zhuo obediently. After so many years, it's time The property has returned to its original owner.”

After hesitating for a moment, Que'er whispered to the monkey: "I'm afraid we have to wait until the master comes back."

"How long does it take exactly?"

"Can't tell."

For a moment, there was silence in the hall again.

…

Outside the door, Qingxin reached out and pulled the purple robe aside, and asked in a low voice: "Why do I feel that Sister Que'er is a little weird?"

"What's so strange about this? Didn't you notice that she didn't call herself 'queer' to the demon monkey, but instead used the word 'little lady'?"

"Why?"

"Because 'Que'er' was not originally her name."

"That's not her name? Then what was her original name?"

"You should ask: Whose name was 'Quer' originally?"

"Then, whose name is 'Quer'?"

"This... I can't tell you for a while."

With that said, Zipao walked towards the gate again, leaving Qingxin alone and full of doubts.

…

One day in heaven and one year on earth. While the monkey stayed in Tushita Palace for a while, Xuanzang and his party had already entered the territory of Baoxiang Kingdom. (To be continued ~^~)
