The Monkey King

Thirty-third heaven.

The breeze was slowly stirring the clouds and mist, and in the courtyard where the shadows of the trees were swaying, the Supreme Being sat quietly at the stone table.

Opposite the table, a girl in green, as beautiful as a jade, lowered her head and held a brush with an unfamiliar hand, writing carefully on the bamboo slips.

After a long time, the girl in green handed the bamboo slip to Lai Shang.

"Grandpa, it's done."

Reaching out to take the bamboo slips, the Supreme Being stroked his long beard to check, and sighed with a smile: "Why do you call me grandpa?"

The girl said: "When I was a canary, I often heard humans call it like this, so... I just called it that way."

Those black jade-like eyes stared at the Supreme Being quietly, with more or less awe.

"You should call me 'Old Sir'."

"Why?"

"Because I'm used to hearing it."

"oh."

Spreading the bamboo slips in front of Que'er, the Queen opened his sleeves, pointed to one of the passages across the table and said: "I have memorized it, but I still can't remember this word. There should be a horizontal line here for the word 'increase' .”

Que'er nodded silently, raised her hand to add the horizontal line, handed the bamboo slip to the Supreme Being again, thought about it, and asked in a low voice: "When can I go to see the monkey?"

"He is very good now. If we are destined to meet each other sooner or later, there is no rush."

Que'er was silent, but only in expression. The Supreme Being clearly read her inner murmur: "If you don't want me to see you, just say it. Why are you trying to be mysterious? You keep talking like this every time without using any new words?"

The prince's brows couldn't help but frown.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked: "Old sir, are you Taishang Laojun?"

This question made Taishang almost choke as he took a sip of tea. Straightening his expression, he looked at Que'er. Asked in a low voice: "Who told you this?"

"No one said it. But the monkey said that Taishang Laojun has an elixir that will turn you into an immortal if you eat it...Old sir, you resurrected me and helped me transform. Could it be Taishang Laojun?" After that, , she blinked her big eyes and stared at the Supreme Being carefully.

The prince pursed his lips. He glanced at her and said: "There are many great immortals who can do it, why is Taishang Laojun the only one? I can only say that the monkey is ignorant."

Que'er frowned tightly, flattened her mouth and said nothing, as if she was a little unhappy. After holding it in for a long time, he said sourly: "Monkeys are not ignorant, monkeys are very smart."

"Are you speaking for him?" The Supreme Being couldn't help laughing and sighed: "You girl, if nothing else, you know a lot about human beings. 'ignorant and ignorant' is a relatively uncommon expression. Well, if the great demon that has been transformed for many years is okay, do you, who just transformed, know what it means?"

"In the early days, my master was a frustrated scholar-official. He told me these things every day. How could I not understand? Later, the scholar-official passed away, and the young master released me from the cage."

"Oh, no wonder you learn so quickly. Do you remember everything from the past?"

"I remember."

In fact, she didn't just remember the original thing. For some reason, she also had some scenes related to monkeys in her mind. It's just not very real, like a long dream, and I can't tell the truth from the false.

There was a moment of silence. Que'er quietly looked at the Supreme Being, and said slowly in a long voice: "Old sir, who are you? A god? Or a monster? Why do you want to help Que'er? Do you know Monkey? Did he ask you to do it?"

The thing that stayed in my heart but was not spoken out was: "Are you planning some bad idea?"

A series of questions that were too much to ask could only make me laugh.

Although this little girl has just transformed, she is extremely vigilant and is much more difficult to deal with than the much older Feng Ling.

Helpless, the Supreme Being had no choice but to purse his lips and nod, then nodded and said, "Just remember."

After that, he pretended not to hear any other questions.

Not long after, a boy slowly came to the Supreme Being. Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Que'er, raised his hands to the Supreme Being and said, "Master Qizhen...Second Master Uncle is going to give a lecture in the mansion tomorrow. The person you are interested in is also invited."

"Oh?" The Supreme Being chuckled. Caressing the bamboo slips and books piled aside thoughtfully, he said slowly: "Even if he is invited, then there are a lot of people invited. Can his hall accommodate them?"

"Master, he only invited those who happened to be of the same level as that person. No one from above or below was invited. The euphemistic name is: Solving Confusion."

"This is a hand that is neither yin nor yang." The Supreme Master said, stroking his palms: "Is there any movement from my third junior brother?"

"No movement."

Que'er listened in a daze for a long time. After a long time, she stretched her head and asked: "Old sir, are you brothers still plotting against each other?"

"It's not each other, it's them plotting against me."

"Tch." Que'er curled her lips and said leisurely: "Birds of a feather flock together. If your senior brother can plot against you, you are definitely not a good person."

The corners of the Taishang's eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he pretended to be angry: "Don't talk nonsense."

Que'er just stopped talking.

How long has this little girl been here just now? Why is it so big and small?

I remember that when I first came here, I was cautious when I spoke to His Majesty. Now, although there is still a trace of awe in my eyes, it has become a constant challenge to the bottom line every day, and I am becoming less and less scrupulous about what I say...

I want to teach her well, but I really don’t know how long it will take.

The Supreme Being couldn't help but think of the wind chime again. This was also a master. How could the disciples taught by Subhuti be so simple?

After holding it in for a long time, Que'er raised her head and whispered: "Someone is giving a lecture, can I go and listen?"

"Wait until you can memorize the Tao Te Ching word for word. I'm afraid you won't understand it now."

"Can't you just listen to it first? Anyway, I don't understand what you asked me to copy. I don't understand it everywhere, so what's the difference?" This was what he said on the surface, but what the Supreme Master read with his mind-reading skills was : "You obviously don't want me to go, you're just looking for excuses. What? Are you afraid that once I go and ask, I will know who you are? There is something wrong with this damn old man!"

Coupled with the eyes that looked at him suspiciously, the Supreme Being felt a little nervous. He coughed twice and said seriously: "In short, no!"

Hearing this, Que'er's brows couldn't help but frown angrily. Angry.

In fact, she just wanted to go out for a walk. I stay in this yard reading and writing every day, facing this old man, and I feel really bored.

Is this any different from staying in a cage?

It seems that being transformed does not necessarily mean happiness. At least she could fly around before. I can go wherever I want, but now I can't go anywhere.

Didn’t monkeys say that they could fly very high and far after completing cultivation? This is how I am now. Is it considered successful?

Um... By the way, am I considered beautiful now? Monkey will regret it if he says he is not beautiful. I don’t know if he likes it after seeing it.

Speaking of which, the dead monkey also said that he wanted to take several concubines. The old man said that he had already completed the cultivation, so he wouldn't really go and take some fairies and vixens as concubines, right?

Could he have forgotten me?

Xiaoque'er thought silently, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt.

…

The original Tianzun invites you to attend the lecture, which is a big deal. Invitations were sent to the door, so it was impossible for Monkey not to go.

As far as usual. Even the great immortals flock to this kind of lecture. This time, for some reason, all the invitations were sent to immortals who were as unworthy as monkeys.

As a result, a scene that was both ironic and ridiculous occurred.

Those immortals who had invitation letters immediately put down what they were doing, hurriedly boarded the aeroship and headed to Miluo Palace. Those who received the invitation letter relatively late had to rely on connections to find solutions.

Why?

Because most of the unconventional immortals like Monkey live in places like the Eighth Heaven or the Seventh Heaven. Although the distance on each level is actually narrower as you go up, not to mention the seventh heaven, even from the ninth heaven to the thirty-fifth heaven, it would take a day and a night to travel with an ordinary aeroplane. And the invitation stated that the lecture would start tomorrow...

As for those who directly use the magic to fly to the clouds... Most of the immortals at Monkey's level are only at the God Refining Realm. It's already pretty good to be at the peak of the God Refining Realm. You don't even have to think about it in the realm of transformation.

How can all the immortals not be anxious?

While all the invited immortals were worrying about rushing, the monkey was very leisurely.

At his speed, he could go from the eighth heaven to the thirty-fifth heaven in just one cup of tea. What was there to be anxious about?

These days, Ben was bored in the Royal Horse Prison. When he received the invitation, the first thing he did was to ask Yueshuang to prepare hot water for him in the room, so that he could take a comfortable bath and then have a nice time. Get some sleep. Wait until you wake up naturally before thinking about setting off.

It's rare to go out. You have to go comfortably, right? Although this matter sounds a bit strange, it is of the level of the original Tianzun. If he really resorts to tricks, he will never use his own territory.

Early the next morning, the monkey went out and a somersault cloud reached the thirty-fifth level of the sky. When he calmed down, there were countless small floating ships parked around him, and there were a sea of ​​people.

The immortals all looked at the monkey in horror, including a boat full of people sent by Guanghan Palace.

The monkey just pretended not to notice the glances they cast, and just walked towards the five-foot-high gate.

Before they could recover, a Taoist boy appeared in front of the monkey, bowed respectfully, and said, "Is this Master Bima Wen?"

"Exactly." Monkey stretched out his hand and handed over the invitation.

After receiving the invitation, the boy opened it and took a look. After confirming that it was correct, he bowed respectfully and said, "Master has told me that your status is quite special, so it may not be suitable for you to sit with other immortals, so I will give you another invitation." Your Excellency has prepared a seat."

"Then I'll ask you to lead the way."

"My lord please."

The crowd slowly made way.

The boy led the monkey through step by step, and all the immortals around him were whispering. Although the boy had made it clear that he was treated specially because of his special status, the fact that a demon king could receive special care from Yuanshi Tianzun still made many immortals quite aggrieved.

Miluo Palace is one of the Three Pure Palaces, so its scale is certainly extraordinary.

It covers an area of ​​several hundred acres and is entirely made of white jade. The top is pointed and rises in the shape of a gold letter. It is completely unlike other buildings in Heaven, but more like a tower, except that this tower only has three floors.

The main hall of Miluo Palace is even more peculiar. It looks completely different from the main halls of other palaces. It doesn't look like a main hall, but more like a place to watch a play. It has three floors, a total of one hall.

Judging from the situation, this original heavenly deity really loved preaching scriptures.

Walking all the way into Miluo Palace, the boy led the monkey up to the third floor and showed him a place beside the fence where two futons were placed to sit down.

Not long after, other immortal families also took their seats one after another.

The sermon began.

A white-haired old man with white light all over his body shook his sleeves and sat on the futon in the middle of the hall.

"That's Yuanshi Tianzun? The aura is not right." The monkey took a closer look, and the other party's technique immediately became invalid in his eyes and the prototype appeared - it was the incarnation of a boy in the realm of child transformation into gods, and it was not at all What Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Isn't that right? You have to find someone to do all the sutras?" Monkey couldn't help but laugh and said: "Besides me, there is no one else who has cultivated in the realm of God Transformation here. This is obviously a lie."

Before he finished speaking, his expression froze.

At some point, a young immortal who had been sitting on the futon next to him slowly turned his face and asked with a half-smile: "Is this aura right?" (To be continued)
