At this moment, in Heaven, all the heavenly troops have been mobilized, and even the troops who were originally performing tasks outside have been recalled urgently.

The huge school grounds inside Nantianmen were filled with military formations, and warships flying in the sky covered the sky.

In the main hall, all the leaders of the Heavenly Army troops gathered. Li Jing, who was in the main seat, sat solemnly. The generals around him looked at each other and talked in low voices.

"What happened? Why were we all summoned suddenly?"

"His Majesty is currently personally in charge of Xuntian Mansion."

"Sit in person..."

"I heard that all the patrol generals of the Xuantian Mansion were sent out. At the same time, Nantianmen also sent people to test the demon kings, and also sent people to Lingshan. It seems because... the monkey is back."

"monkey?"

In just a moment, all the generals seemed to have understood who this "monkey" was, and they were all shocked from ear to ear.

Many of those present had not yet enlisted in the army during the war six hundred and fifty years ago, but how could they not know why there were so many vacancies in heaven suddenly.

The demon who destroyed the entire heaven with one person.

His existence is simply a lingering nightmare in heaven, even if it is thousands of years later.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more solemn.

"This... how is this possible? Didn't he say he was imprisoned by the Buddhist sect? How could the Buddhist sect let him out?"

"Yes, yes, yes, even if he accidentally escaped, how could the Buddhist sect let him run free? Tathagata Buddha would have personally taken action to capture him again."

"Is there any movement in Buddhism?"

A heavenly general sighed softly: "No. Indeed, it stands to reason that if the monkey ran out, Buddhism would take action and capture him again. But although Buddhism did not move, it did not reply to the monkey head in heaven. Are you still imprisoned... So, nine times out of ten, the monkey has escaped, and there is nothing unspeakable about Buddhism."

"The unspeakable secrets of Buddhism..." All the generals looked at Li Jing who was on the throne.

Li Jing just glanced at them and didn't say anything. From the beginning to the end, those eyebrows were frowning tightly, and Nezha next to him also had a solemn expression.

This could not help but further deepen the worries in the hearts of the generals.

…

In the main building of Xuntian Mansion. Countless heavenly soldiers and generals were running back and forth. Constantly sifting through various messages sent from the mortal world.

A heavenly general rushed along the long and narrow corridor with a large stack of papers in his arms. When he arrived outside a room in the depths, he nodded to the two heavenly soldiers guarding both sides. The two heavenly soldiers immediately pushed the door open.

Inside the door, in addition to the Jade Emperor sitting at the table, there were also nearly twenty generals from the Xuntian Mansion crowded in the small room, which was filled with silver. But there is an indescribable depression.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, two generals immediately surrounded him, took the paper in his hand, and distributed it to the generals present.

Punching his chest with a heavy fist, Jiang Jiang knelt on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, all the information from all parties has been investigated in detail and reported to you according to your Majesty's wishes. It's just that the number is very large, and It’s quite messy, and it’s hard to tell the truth from the false for a while. Now all the things that have been confirmed are here.”

The Jade Emperor, who was sitting at the desk, stretched out his hand to signal him to get up and said: "Go on and check everything carefully. Don't miss even a single trace."

"promise!"

That day the general bowed to the Jade Emperor again, bowed and exited the door.

The door is closed.

As soon as the general left that day, the Jade Emperor turned to the general present and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

"This..." One of them glanced at the paper, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is no movement from the monsters on all sides, everything is as usual. It doesn't look like it has been in contact with the monster monkey. look like."

"Then the demon monkey didn't go to see these old men? Isn't that impossible?" A general asked: "Could it be that they are pretending not to know and want to paralyze us?"

"Could it be that we made a mistake and the demon monkey didn't escape at all?"

The generals present were all stunned and looked at each other.

If it was a false alarm, although it would be a bit embarrassing for Xuantian Mansion, it would be the best outcome. Once the monkey really comes back, it won't be as simple as a matter of face.

A heavenly general waved his hand and said: "It's too early to draw a conclusion now. However, there is a strange rumor among the monsters."

"Strange rumors?"

Suddenly, all the generals' eyes were focused on him, and the Jade Emperor also stretched out his hand towards him.

That day the general quickly handed the paper in his hand to the Jade Emperor, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it's just an irrelevant and strange rumor. It is said that a monk was ordered by the Buddha to set out from the Tang Dynasty in the east to the Lingshan Mountain in Hezhou in the west. After studying scriptures at Daleiyin Temple, they also said that... this monk is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and he can live forever by eating a bite of meat. There is also something even more bizarre, saying that he has a golden bowl that can gather all the wealth in the world, and he wears it. Just a cassock that can ascend during the day..."

Hearing this, many generals present breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

"Your Majesty, this is obviously a rumor. Only those bumpkin monsters would believe such strange rumors."

"Yes, yes, yes, not to mention that eating meat can lead to immortality, the golden bowl that can gather the world's wealth, and the cassock that can ascend in the daytime? The person who preached it didn't even understand the most basic common sense."

The laughter that had started in twos and threes suddenly turned into a roar of laughter, and the solemn atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed a lot.

The Jade Emperor lay on the table, squinted his eyes, opened the paper, and looked at it carefully. He raised his head and stared at the generals present and said: "Overnight, all the monsters in the world are talking about this matter. You guys Do you still think this is just a rumor?"

The laughter suddenly stopped.

That day Jiang hurriedly bowed. He walked to the table, picked up the paper, and looked at it carefully. The expression on his face gradually became solemn.

The other generals also gathered around one by one and circulated among themselves.

"So...someone is deliberately spreading rumors?"

"Who could be spreading it?"

"To be able to spread to the three realms overnight, the driving force behind this must be quite powerful. General Mo has been serving in the Xuntian Mansion until now. I have never heard of rumors spreading so quickly."

"The time is just right. Could this be related to the monkey's whereabouts?"

After stroking his long beard and thinking for a while, the Jade Emperor said sternly: "Check! If this Buddhist monk really exists, find him immediately!"

"promise!"

At this moment, the door slowly opened.

A Qing family member walked in from the door with a memorial in his hand, kowtowed to the Jade Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent memorial from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea."

Suddenly. All the generals present were shocked. Even the Jade Emperor was startled.

At this moment, the entire heaven has reached the point where everyone is in a state of panic.

"Quick play?"

The Qing family quickly presented the memorial in their hands.

As soon as he opened it, Jade Emperor's entire face turned pale.

The generals present all stared with wide eyes.

The Jade Emperor panicked and tore open the letter contained in the memorial, holding it in his hand and reading it carefully. As his eyes moved on the paper, big beads of sweat fell from his forehead drop by drop.

After a long time, when he put down the letter, the Jade Emperor had already collapsed on the chair as if he was exhausted.

A general asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is there any news?"

"It's really him...it's really him." The Jade Emperor blinked desperately, looking around as if he had lost his soul, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.

The generals around him were already stunned.

"Is it really him...him...he is in the East China Sea Dragon Palace?"

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said in a daze: "He asked the Dragon Palace to send this letter, requesting that... the rainfall in Huaguo Mountain be restored immediately, otherwise, he will come to Lingxiao Palace to discuss it in person."

After swallowing dryly, the Jade Emperor asked in a mosquito-like voice: "How do you think we should reply?"

All the generals present lowered their heads slightly.

Not long after, a Qing family member hurriedly left the room. He quickly rushed to the main hall of the Nantianmen garrison.

After saluting the generals, he took a small step and walked to Li Jing's side, asking in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked, how does the Nantianmen today compare with 650 years ago?"

Hearing this, Li Jing was shocked and immediately understood the situation. He quietly cupped his hands and said, "Can I trouble you to reply to your majesty? Today's Nantianmen array is not as good as it was six hundred and fifty years ago."

"I understand the humble position..."

…

At this time, in a small town located in the mountains in Nanzhan Buzhou, a young man wearing a cloth robe and looking like a gangster held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and leaned against the stone lion at the entrance of the government office. yawn.

The two government officials guarding the gate looked at him from time to time, and the residents walking around also looked at him from time to time.

In such a border town with only a hundred or so households, a stranger arriving by chance must be extremely conspicuous.

Fortunately, it was peacetime. If there was a border war, I'm afraid he would be captured and severely interrogated as soon as he stepped into the town.

However, the young man didn't seem to take the gazes of the people around him seriously. No matter how they looked at him, he treated them as transparent and just enjoyed the warm sunshine to himself, yawning as if waiting for something.

Not long after, the door of the government office opened.

The local county magistrate personally sent Xuanzang out, and said with a smile on his face: "Anyway, thank you, master. I have sent people to capture this group of bandits many times, but they are familiar with the mountain roads, and they have been able to escape every time. Really. I didn’t expect that the master would catch them all by himself, I’m really grateful, thank you!”

"Your Excellency, you are very polite." Xuanzang clasped his hands together and respectfully returned the greeting: "This is just a simple effort for a poor monk."

At this time, a government servant had already led Xuanzang's white horse to the door.

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said, "By the way, where are you going, master?"

"The poor monk goes west."

"Oh? To the west? If you go west, you will be out of the country... Does the master have a customs clearance document?"

Hearing this, Xuanzang smiled faintly, clasped his hands and said, "This poor monk has important matters to attend to, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. Sir, please come back."

The county magistrate didn't doubt him, so he just nodded and said, "Then, I wish you a safe journey, master."

After another salute, Xuanzang turned around and mounted his horse.

At this moment, the young man who had been guarding the yamen gate came over and took the reins from the yamen servant.

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment and asked softly: "Who is this...?"

"This is..." Staring at the young man, Xuanzang took a deep breath and said, "This is the disciple whom the poor monk took on the road and has not yet been ordained."

Hearing this, the young man looked up at Xuanzang and smiled meaningfully.

After bidding farewell to the county magistrate, the two of them slowly left the town. Under the setting sun, they looked like a master and apprentice from a distance.

A breeze blew by, lowering the grass on both sides of the mountain path.

The young man's figure swayed, his original cloth robe turned into a military uniform, and his face turned into a furry monkey face.

Leading the horse step by step, the monkey asked softly: "How did you know it was me?"

"You guessed it, the poor monk had a premonition that the benefactor would come back."

"Oh? Then your hunch is quite accurate." Looking back at the town, the monkey said leisurely: "It seems that you really have two brushes. The residents in the town are talking about it, saying that you solved it alone. Twenty bandits tied them into a bunch and took them to the Yamen."

"I know a little bit about boxing and kicking, but I can't compare with the Great Sage."

The monkey smiled faintly and sighed leisurely: "The real skill is to help me deal with Tathagata. I have decided to accompany you for a trip. Anyway... six hundred and fifty years have passed, and I don't care about waiting another ten years. I have to sort everything out before I can go to Huashan to pick her up. Otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble. If I go now, my second uncle will not agree to my seeing her. However, let me make it clear first that I have no intention of becoming a Buddhist. .”

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk understands and will never force it."

The monkey immediately rolled his eyes at Xuanzang and said, "It's useless for you to force yourself. By the way, how come you, a monk who has not passed the customs clearance, dare to go to the Yamen? Aren't you afraid that they will take you and take you back to Chang'an?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but this matter must be resolved, right?"

"Can it be solved?" The monkey laughed: "I was standing at the door just now, but I heard those bandits fighting fiercely with the guards in the prison. Dozens of bandits were fighting back and forth and couldn't be wiped out. There’s nothing fishy about it, only a ghost would believe it.”

"That's it." Xuanzang sat swaying on the horse, thinking for a long time and sighed: "I saw some clues just now, but I didn't expect it... It seems that you still have to take action, otherwise, they will Being released is another disaster."

"Why, can't Pudu be changed to transcendence?"

Xuanzang shook his head and said: "Just scare them, don't take their lives."

"Hey, you are so proud. The Monkey King personally helped you scare a few thieves." The monkey lazily stretched out a finger and said, "Just this once."

Xuanzang smiled, bowed and said, "Thank you."

…

At this moment, in the imperial study room of Lingxiao Palace, a group of heavenly officials and the Jade Emperor were silent around a letter, all of them with pale faces.

For a long time, the Jade Emperor frowned, looked around at the officials and whispered: "First let the Dragon Palace restore rainfall in Huaguo Mountain, which is considered our goodwill. Then... send a special envoy to find a way to meet the monster monkey. , to investigate, it would be best if we could reach some kind of agreement. At the same time, report the matter to Sanqing, Patriarch Subhuti, and Zhenyuan Immortal, and see what they say. Also, let’s take a look at what’s over there at Lingshan Mountain. No comments."
