The Monkey King

In the wilderness, a breeze blew slowly.

In less than a stick of incense, the monkey's expression had changed several times, but he never said a word. He just stared repeatedly at Taiyi Zhenren, at the other six golden immortals, at Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Master... His eyes kept flickering, and a bad breath stuck in his heart. The hand holding the golden cudgel loosened and tightened. , tight and loose.

Yuanshi Tianzun saw all this, but he calmly pretended not to know.

The news of another soul that suddenly appeared in front of him was something that Monkey had never thought about before. The name "Six-eared Macaque" represents a great uncertainty, especially since he returned to this world with the help of Buddhism... In this case, the monkey is unwilling, but has to face the situation Reassess.

If the battle more than 600 years ago and the subsequent 650 years of imprisonment had embedded anything in him, it was probably patience. Let him learn to see reality clearly and extinguish his anger.

Because, in most cases, especially when you are not in an advantage, anger cannot solve the problem. On the contrary, it may intensify the problem and fall into the trap of the other party.

After a long while, he bared his teeth and said, "Are you threatening me?"

"How dare you? I'm just talking about things." Taking a deep breath, Yuanshi Tianzun lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "How can anyone in the world let everything revolve around him? Even if there are, throughout the ages, only those who have been in charge There is only one Laojun of the way of heaven. Although the great sage used his strength to prove the way, in the end, there are still many ties. You can not worry about yourself, but if you have any shortcomings, the people you care about can Just...hehe, sometimes, the situation is stronger than the person, and there will always be a lot of helplessness and a lot of last resorts in this world."

The words seemed casual. From beginning to end, Yuanshi Tianzun didn't even look at the monkey, but just sighed to himself. but. But he always pays attention to the spiritual energy fluctuations on the monkey's body, not even a tiny bit is missed.

"So?" Monkey's brows raised slightly.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said: "So, sometimes, the two parties in the conflict do not necessarily have to fight to the death. It may be more beneficial to keep the other party. In this case, why don't each take a step back?"

"Each of us take a step back?" Pursing his lips, Monkey took a deep breath, looked around, then stared at Yuanshi Tianzun and said, "How to retreat?"

Seeing that the monkey was slightly ready to relent, Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly asked: "What does the Great Sage want me to do in exchange for the lives of my seven disciples?"

The monkey looked around at the golden immortals and said leisurely: "My conditions may not be so easy to achieve."

"As long as I can do it. But it doesn't matter." After saying that, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his hand and motioned for the monkey to continue.

Seeing this, the monkey immediately said: "Help me find the six-eared macaque and find out his purpose and movements. Best, even find out the movements of Buddhism. How about this condition?"

"Yes." Yuanshi Tianzun said softly: "I can agree to the Great Sage on this matter. However, it is hard to say how long it will take. After all, the opponent is Buddhism."

"Okay. It's something Yuanshi Tianzun personally promised. I'm sure he won't be passive and slow down the work." Looking back at the direction of the French capital, the monkey said softly: "This is only the first, the second... this matter is because of them. Get up, the dead and injured people. We need to revive them all. How about that?"

Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned for a moment when he said this.

All around, the seven golden immortals who looked like radish seedlings lowered their heads and said nothing. Instead, the leader of Tongtian who was standing far away spoke.

He raised his head slightly and said loudly: "It is not difficult to resurrect a mortal. It is nothing more than reshaping a body. But now, the six paths of reincarnation are all under the control of Buddhism. Do you think they will agree? Even if there is an exchange of benefits. The way...hehehehe, there are at least a thousand people here. What can I do with Buddhism..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun raised his head slightly, raised his hand, and the Tongtian Cult Master immediately shut his mouth knowingly.

Looking at the monkey, Yuanshi Tianzun said softly: "The Great Sage must also know the difficulty of this matter. Besides, even if you really kill these disciples, you can't save anything, and the people who died in vain will still not be able to rest in peace. It’s better to do this in another way.”

"In what way?" Monkey slowly crossed his hands.

"Please let these disciples of me go first. Since they have caused their own sins, let them make up for it. It is impossible to restore them to their original state, but I can let them find a way to figure out these individuals." Regarding the whereabouts of the reincarnated souls, mobilize your disciples to find them all and compensate them in the next life. This matter involves a lot. Even if you, the great sage, mobilize the monsters under your command, it may not be easy to complete. But... ...There is nothing that can be done about it. Although it is difficult, it is much easier than going to the underworld and asking Buddhists to sell thousands of favors. What does the Great Sage think of handling it this way?"

"Aren't they not allowed to interfere in the mortal world? Will heaven have any objections?"

"If I open my mouth, the Great Sage still can't believe it?"

Hearing this, the monkey immediately laughed, tilted his head and said: "Okay, but if you want to compensate, I beg the living people in France who have lost their loved ones to also compensate."

"Okay." Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, spread his hands and said: "I will guarantee this matter, and I will definitely keep an eye on it for you, the Great Sage, so that they can handle it beautifully."

"You said it." Pointing at Yuanshi Tianzun, the monkey picked up the stick and struck the ground with a blow.

Immediately, the seven golden immortals who were deep in the ground were rushed up from the earth with the monkey's energy and then fell to the ground. They all screamed in pain and hurriedly struggled to get up and knelt down before Yuanshi Tianzun. .

Without even looking at the gathering of master and disciple, Monkey turned around and walked towards Qingxin, holding Qingxin's hand and saying, "Let's go, we're in big trouble."

"big trouble?"

Before Qingxin understood what the monkey meant, she was already dragged by the monkey and flew towards the French capital.

After the monkey left, Yuanshi Tianzun lowered his head slightly and looked around at his disciples.

The unkempt Taiyi Zhenren lowered his head slightly and said: "Disciple should not ignore the master's advice. I know that I was wrong. Please punish me..."

Saying this, he kowtowed deeply.

"Master, please punish me."

"Everyone, get up. The penalty is waived, and there are so many conditions... let's do it first and then talk about it." Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Taiyi Zhenren and said: "Don't you always want to sabotage the journey to the west? Now, this is an opportunity ”

Hearing this, Master Taiyi was stunned.

…

In the sky, the monkey whispered: "Don't run around during this period."

For a moment, Qingxin became even more confused, blinking and looking at the monkey. Let the monkey hold your hand and move forward, your heart beating fast.

This may be the most gentle monkey has ever been to her. For a moment, she felt as if she was no longer pure, but had completely turned into a wind chime, or a bird.

It would be great if this feeling could last longer...

She silently felt the body temperature transmitted from her wrist, and her eyes became moist unconsciously.

The rapid pulse was transmitted through the monkey's fingertips. The hand holding Qing Xin's wrist suddenly felt a sour and soft feeling, tearing at his heart.

After a long time, the monkey whispered: "You heard it just now, my other soul is back. Do you know that I have another soul?"

"I know... I know."

"This matter is not trivial. Maybe he will be an opponent, a difficult opponent. So, don't go anywhere during this period, just stay in the Three Stars Cave of the Setting Moon. If I want to see you, I will I contacted you first through the jade slip. If you don’t have the jade slip in hand, it must be a fake. Do you understand what I mean?”

Qingxin nodded slightly, but her thoughts were already in a mess. She just looked helplessly at the monkey holding her hand in front of her, completely unaware of what she had promised. His mind was filled with one sentence: "Does he... already know something?"

Immediately afterwards, the two of them fell silent.

From the beginning to the end, Monkey's eyes were staring straight ahead, but his thoughts were entirely on Qingxin.

He remembered how strange Qingxin had always been, and the pair of emerald mandarin ducks presented to him by Nuwa. However, he didn't know whether he should ask at this time.

What if it is true?

If not, so what?

Only a few dozen miles away, the two of them flew surprisingly slowly, unbelievably slow, but no one was willing to speak to urge them. Perhaps, this tacit understanding itself is already the answer to each other's questions.

When the dilapidated capital of France appeared on the horizon, the questions in their minds seemed to have been answered.

The monkey hovered.

Qingxin lowered her head and blushed. Those eyes kept flashing.

The two of them just looked at each other in silence, and time passed by bit by bit.

The scene seemed to be frozen.

Under the setting sun, the monkey stared at Qingxin, and suddenly felt a dreamlike feeling. It is a sentiment that has been baptized for eight hundred years. The questions in my heart were suddenly answered, but there was no ecstasy as expected. Instead, there was just an endless sadness that made people breathless.

He tried his best to suppress it, but his defense was crumbling bit by bit.

After a long time, Monkey suddenly pulled Qingxin into his arms and held her tightly.

"For me...thank you, master. Thank him. It's a great kindness that cannot be repaid."

"I want to... go west with you."

"This is my own war, and I shouldn't involve you anymore. If I win, I will go find you."

After saying that, the monkey turned around and rushed straight in the direction of Qiu France without looking back, leaving Qingxin hanging there blankly, watching.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Qingxin covered her lips, and her tears fell down.

…

"Master, junior sister is fine. But I didn't say anything, but the monkey seemed to already know..."

Seeing the two lines of characters appearing quickly on the chessboard in his hand, Laojun raised his head slightly and looked at Subhuti, who was sitting on the other side of the chessboard, and said, "What did you do?"

"That's right." Subhuti stroked his long beard and said, "It's a little earlier than expected, but...it doesn't matter." (~^~)
