The Monkey King

A bunch of monsters were crowded in the narrow upper corridor of the Water Curtain Cave. Not far from them, Monkey and Jade Cauldron were squatting half-crouched, listening to the quarrels coming from the room through a thin wooden door.

"Do you know what you are doing?" Yang Jian, who was still wearing armor, slapped his palm on the wooden table, and a faint smoke flew up: "He is a monster, and you go crazy with him?"

Yang Chan, who was sitting on the wooden chair, had no expression on his face, raised his eyes coldly and said, "Are you sure he's not trying to go crazy with me?"

Yang Jian was slightly startled.

"If you don't rebel against Heaven and you are unfilial, why don't you allow others to rebel against Heaven and others are filial? The hatred between parents is irreconcilable. You can forget it, but I can't. Sooner or later, Jade Emperor, I will tear him into pieces. , just wait and see!”

"You!" Yang Jian was speechless for a moment, breathing deeply, pacing back and forth in the room. After a while, he turned to Yang Chan and said: "It's not that you don't know what Heaven is. You are against Heaven... ...Do you know that Taishang Laojun's boy has been lurking in Huaguo Mountain for a long time! Do you think Heavenly Court knows nothing about the situation here? The army of Nantianmen is ready to leave. When the time comes, I'm afraid you will die without mercy. Corpse!"

"Are you afraid of death?" Yang Chan bit her lip and slowly raised her head. Her eyes were slightly red, and she smiled contemptuously: "If you give your body and skin to your parents, how can you not avenge a great revenge? Just die of exhaustion. , I just think of it as repaying a favor. Are you afraid of death? With a son like you, I am really ashamed for my father and mother!"

"I won't argue with you about this!" Yang Jian became furious and shouted: "I want you to follow me back to the mouth of the river now. This place is not yours to stay!"

"You want me to leave?" Yang Chan laughed, blinking her red eyes and looking forward blankly: "What if I don't leave?"

"Don't leave. I will take you back even if I catch you!"

"Really?" Yang Chan raised her head and looked at Yang Jian blankly. Eyes widened. He said slowly: "If you want me to capture him, fine, let's defeat him first."

"Do you really think I can't kill him?" Yang Jian's eyes widened.

…

At the door, a bored monkey sat on the ground with his legs spread apart and his eyes slowly turned toward the jade tripod.

Just looking at each other, Yuding lowered his head in shock and moved his butt in the opposite direction unconsciously.

The monkey chuckled, leaned over and hugged Master Yuding's shoulders and said, "Brother Yuding, what are you doing? Come on. Come on, let's talk."

"Say, what did you say?" Yuding felt his scalp numb: "I won't talk to you."

After that, Jade Cauldron was about to run away, but was pulled back by the monkey, who said fiercely: "You have to speak even if you don't speak! You look down on me, don't you?"

Yuding was stunned on the spot.

What level is this monkey at now? What level is he... He has no power to fight back!

Holding Yuding's hand, the monkey said with a smile: "Brother Yuding, how did that thing we talked about before go?"

Yuding shook his head and waved his hands. Avoiding the monkey's eyes, he stammered, "No, don't talk. Don't talk."

The monkey stretched out his hand and hugged Yuding's face, forced his whole head back, exposed his fangs and said fiercely: "To talk about it, or not to talk about it?"

Yuding was almost scared to tears.

At this time, Short Mouth came over from a distance, squatted down and whispered in the monkey's ear: "Dajiao is fine, Yang Jian didn't kill him. Now, Yi Su is taking care of him."

"I know." The monkey let go of Yuding's head, turned his head and winked at the wooden door with his short mouth.

Short Mouth immediately understood, nodded silently and left.

The monkey glanced at the Jade Cauldron again, smiled, and wiped the hand that had just taken out his ears on the Jade Cauldron's clothes: "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously. But then again, Brother Yuding, your apprentice broke me You want to run away without paying for the things you own? This is not kind. Even if I give you a 50% discount on half of those things, you have to at least stay and work for me for 180 years to be able to compensate. What do you mean? Is that true? Think carefully. You are wanted by heaven, so you can hide from me. If I wanted you, you would have to follow Yang Jian around every day. Well, maybe in a few years, following him won't be enough. When the time comes, Brother Yuding, you...hey, you will be displaced, and you will not be able to survive in the future! I feel heartbroken just thinking about it..."

"Wait a moment, let me make a sad expression." The monkey patted Yuding's shoulder, turned his head with a sad expression on his face, looked at Yuding and said slowly: "Brother Yuding, tell me, what I said is right. ?I am doing this all for your own good."

Goosebumps suddenly fell all over Yuding's real person.

…

In the room, the quarrel continued.

"You actually harmed the master with him? Are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing? The master has been so kind to you and my brother and sister, but you actually..."

"Am I harming Master?" Yang Chan stood up and glared at Yang Jian: "Go and see if the old man is missing an arm or a leg or what? He has been here for several days and I have provided him with good tea and water. Why is it called harm?" Yes? You, on the other hand, severed the relationship between master and apprentice and forced me to change my master. Now that you are talking about this, what qualifications do you have to accuse me!"

"I say it again, come back with me! Things between monsters and heaven have nothing to do with you!"

"No return!"

"Believe it or not, I destroyed this entire Huaguo Mountain!"

"You should give it a try!" Yang Chan glared at Yang Jian angrily, raised her hand, and directly offered the lotus lantern.

With reddish eyes, two tears streaked down her cheeks.

The red light shone on Yang Jian's face. He gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. How could he not know what kind of character this sister was?

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely tense.

…

At the door, the strange negotiations continued.

"Brother Yuding, I am actually a good person. Well, not a good person, but a good monster. Do you agree or not?" He put his arms around the shoulders of Master Yuding and glanced at Yuding from the corner of his eye.

The jade tripod shrank its head slightly, swallowed dryly, and did not answer.

"Do you think I'm a good monster?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"What is it!"

"Yes... he is a good monster..."

"As long as you are a good monster. But, being a good monster doesn't mean you are easy to bully. You are easy to fool. Right? I hate people bullying good monsters the most in my life. You said your apprentice broke so many of my things..."

"If he breaks something, go find him." Master Yuding's brows were as furrowed as tight linen. I feel like crying without tears.

"Hey, you can't say that. It's obviously because your master didn't teach him well that he would break my things. What kind of skills were you not taught by you? Oh, yes, you should tell me this yourself. So, the origin is still with you. Tell me! Do you want to shirk responsibility and don’t want to compensate? "

"No...no..." Master Yuding lowered his head.

"It's okay if I don't. I also hate people who break things without paying compensation, so let's make an agreement like this?"

"..."

"It's settled. Isn't it?" The monkey stretched out his hand and clenched it in front of Master Yuding's eyes, causing his eyes to almost fall out of shock.

At this moment, Short Mouth hurried over from a distance, leaned over and said, "Here we come!"

"Coming?" Monkey suddenly stood up, thought for a while, then turned around and said to Yuding expressionlessly: "We have agreed. In my life, I have always hated people who don't keep their word. I have no credibility with this kind of person." Guys, I want to tear them into pieces! Brother Yuding, do you happen to be that kind of person?"

"Of course...it's not..." Yuding said with a sad face.

Seeing this scene, the monkey followed the short mouth and ran outside with confidence.

See the monkey disappear around the corner. Master Yuding kicked his legs indignantly and shouted: "This is no demon king. This is simply a bandit leader! A bandit leader!"

"What did you say?" The monkey's face stretched back from the corner of the aisle.

"No! No!" Master Yuding quickly covered his face and lowered his head.

With a cold snort, the monkey rolled his eyes at him and turned away.

Not long after, the monkeys took the lead, and Ao Cunxin and Ao Tingxin hurried out of the cave with indignation on their faces.

"He's really here?"

"Of course, sister-in-law, can I still lie to you?" The monkey ran to the door and stood in front of the door with a smile. He pointed toward the house and said, "It's right inside."

"Will he run away as soon as I open the door?" Ao Cunxin glanced at the monkey with some anxiety.

"No! My Huaguoshan dragnet will ensure that he can't escape!"

Ao Cunxin frowned, bit her lip, tears rolled down her face, and she cried, "You heartless bastard!"

After shouting, he raised his legs and kicked the door open.

Yang Jian in the room was stunned.

The wooden door slammed shut with a bang, and the quarrel in the room suddenly disappeared, leaving only Ao Cunxin's cry.

Not long after, the wooden door opened with a creak, Ao Cunxin pushed Yang Chan out, and closed the door with force.

After a while, he opened the door again, pointed at the monkey with tears in his eyes and shouted: "Don't come in!"

"Understood." Monkey nodded blankly.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut again.

I could vaguely hear the sound of plates being smashed in the house...

"Your sister-in-law is so fierce." Monkey couldn't help but touched his chin and sighed.

After looking at the door and then at the monkey, Yang Chan, with tears on her face, asked, "Did you call me here?"

The monkey nodded: "Are you crying?"

"I want you to take care of it!" Yang Chan quickly turned away.

Ao Tingxin, who was standing aside, sighed helplessly. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Not long after, the monkey dispersed the demons at the door and told them to go and do what they were supposed to do. He also told Duanzui to call Lu Liuguai over.

As soon as Lu Liuguai arrived, he cried to the monkey, saying that the site was smashed just after leaving for a while, and the progress of the project was delayed countless times. Monkey directly picked up the jade tripod beside him, regardless of how Erlang Shen in the room felt, and threw the jade tripod to Lu Liuguai anyway. The lunch was compensation for the loss.

This made Lu Liuguai extremely happy. His expression was as if he had seen pine cones falling from the sky. He made the jade cauldron tremble for a while, mistakenly thinking that the other party was going to cook him and eat him.

Seeing the monsters happily carrying away the screaming jade tripod, Ao Tingxin, who had been silent, suddenly twitched at the corner of his eyes.

This new neighbor of East China Sea Dragon Palace is obviously not a good person...

When it got slightly brighter, the wooden door opened again, and this time it was Yang Jian who came out.

His face was ashen, he looked around at Monkey, Yang Chan, and Ao Tingxin who were still there for a week, pointed at Monkey coldly and said: "You, come in!"

"What? Me?" The monkey was confused for a moment, and looked at Yang Jian with some evil intentions: "If we want to fight, can we find a bigger place?"

"Don't worry, it's just a chat, just a chat! You and I, let's talk clearly!"

This tone was extremely serious, making people feel like it was not what the usually gentle Yang Jian said. For a moment, the monkey didn't know why.

Through the gap in the door, Yang Chan saw Ao Cunxin in the room gesturing to her violently, with an expression like...

For a moment, Yang Chan's whole face was burning, as red as an apple, and she suddenly understood why Yang Jian wanted to talk to Monkey alone! (To be continued...)
