The Monkey King

Along the way, the six-eared macaque flew slowly with a group of demon generals. From time to time he looked back at the goat spirit.

At the beginning, the goat spirit will report to him the news from the monkey. However, as the six-eared macaque's face became increasingly ugly, in the end, the goat spirit could only answer with a nod and a shake of the head. I didn’t even dare to speak.

Of course, from beginning to end, I could only shake my head.

When it was more than a hundred miles away from Xuanzang, the six-eared macaque paused, and the demon generals behind him also hovered one by one.

No matter how unscrupulous he is, he knows that he will face a war ahead. The most important thing is that he is not sure of victory.

After baring his teeth and remaining silent for a long time, he stretched out his hand to summon one of the demon generals, took out a waist card and stuffed it into his hand.

"Go to Xie Yue Sanxing Cave to see the master, and tell him that whoever is no longer able to take on the important task of heading west, I will take over now. However, there may be some problems when taking over, so I want to help him. .Remember, you must say it face to face!”

"promise!"

With a crisp response, the demon general turned around and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the six-eared macaque rolled his eyes and stopped him again. He warned, "What you saw and heard in Xianyue Sanxing Cave must come back." Report to me truthfully, especially the master’s attitude, and don’t miss a single bit! Do you understand?”

The demon general nodded blankly, then turned and left.

Looking at the departing figure, the goat spirit asked cautiously: "Great Sage, if you want to ask Patriarch Subhuti for help, wouldn't it be more convenient to use jade slips?"

"You don't understand." The six-eared macaque replied coldly: "Some words still have to be passed on by people."

To be recognized by Subhuti, the six-eared macaque is happy from the bottom of his heart. However, to what extent can this recognition reach?

Although Subhuti stood on his side at the Xianyue Sanxing Cave, he didn't directly attack the monkey after all, right?

Some things still have to be forced.

With a group of demon generals, the six-eared macaque waited a hundred miles away from Xuanzang. The monsters present looked at each other in confusion.

…

At this moment, Que'er, who was dressed in emerald green, was walking into the Qingxin Hall step by step under the guidance of Yu Yi.

The Taoist disciples in the hall had already dispersed, leaving Subhuti sitting alone. Making a pot of tea seems to be leisurely, but unfortunately, the trace of worry between the brows cannot be hidden no matter what.

"Disciple Que'er, see Patriarch Subhuti."

"Coming?" Hearing this, Subhuti raised his head slightly and glanced at her, but it was just a glance. His gaze quickly returned to the teapot and sighed softly: "Didn't Laojun just leave? Why did he send you here again? ”

"Maybe the master feels that there are some things that are not convenient to say in person." Que'er smiled lightly and said, "So, I let Que'er go."

"sit down."

Subhuti waved his hand and a futon was quickly placed behind Que'er.

"Thank you, Patriarch Subhuti, for sitting down." Que'er bowed and sat down. There was still a polite smile on that face.

…

Looking at Xuanzang from a distance, Tianpeng whispered: "Have you discussed these matters with Master Xuanzang?"

"No." Monkey pursed his lips and said, "What's the use of telling him? Is there anything else he can do to help? He's just a mortal."

"Even if we are mortals, we all share weal and woe along the way. I think no matter what your final decision is, it's best to tell him. It's not so safe to just leave him and leave."

Hearing this, the monkey just snorted disdainfully. Noncommittal.

At this moment, Lu Liuguai was already running towards him from a distance, shouting: "Great Sage, it's not good! The six-eared macaque led people to leave the lion and camel country and come here!"

Canpeng's brows suddenly frowned: "What is he here for?"

"Needless to say, I came to take over and claim credit from the dead old man." The monkey was already itching with hatred. He waved the golden cudgel hard and said coldly: "Since he wants me to leave so much, I won't leave. Let him take over your ability!"

…

The night wind blew gently, raising the bamboo curtains in the Qianxin Hall.

A cup of tea was filled and slowly pushed in front of Que'er.

Subhuti asked softly: "If he has anything to say, just say it."

Reaching out to hold up the tea, Que'er took a breath and said casually: "Master asked his disciples to come and take Junior Sister Qingxin to Tushita Palace to stay for a few days."

Hearing this, Subhuti frowned slightly and sighed, "Going to Tusita Palace for a temporary stay? Huh, what do you mean? In such a situation, Tusita Palace is not necessarily safer than my Xianyue Sanxing Cave." Not to mention Qingxin himself, even I may not agree."

"Master didn't say that Grandmaster, you will definitely agree. Master just let Grandmaster make your choice." As he said that, Que'er took a sip of tea.

"Let me choose, how to choose?"

"Master said that if he wants to return to the way of heaven, he will never be able to bypass the Great Sage's threshold. If the Great Sage completely turns to the master, then your plan to travel westward will be ruined. The three realms will definitely return to the past. "

Subhuti glanced at her coldly and said, "You don't need to teach me these things."

"Master means, let the disciples come to the Patriarch to ask for someone. If they arrive, they will take them back to Tushita Palace and keep them under strict protection. Although Tushita Palace may not be better than Xianyue Sanxing Cave, at least the six-eared macaques are not allowed to go there. . Doing this is to give the Great Sage peace of mind." Looking at Subhuti, Que'er smiled faintly and then said: "If you can't get it, just take a detour and talk to the Great Sage and tell him, Subhuti The Patriarch will not let him go so that he can completely give up his attachment to you. The Great Sage should believe what Que'er said."

"You!" Subhuti's eyes suddenly widened, his hand trembled slightly, and he accidentally knocked over the teacup in front of him, spilling the tea on the floor.

…

Tushita Palace.

Regardless of the reason, all the immortals who came to visit were blocked from the door. In the small attic, only Laojun, Master Tongtian, and Yuanshi Tianzun were left.

The leader of Tongtian Cult could be said to be restless, his eyes looking towards Lao Jun from time to time. Relatively speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun was much calmer, but he still paid attention to Laojun's every move with his peripheral vision. But as the protagonist, Lao Jun, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

He washed his face with the water brought by the Taoist boy and wiped it carefully with a towel. After that, he boiled water and made tea. The action looked no different from usual.

From beginning to end, not a word was said.

Finally, Master Tongtian couldn't help it any longer, straightened his body slightly and said, "How long do you want to hide it?"

"Hide it?" Lao Jun said with a chuckle: "Why do you think I have lied to you? I never lie to others."

Leader Tongtian squinted his eyes and said suspiciously: "Can your cultivation really be restored?"

"What can be cultivated can naturally be restored. Isn't this a truth known to all the three realms?"

As he spoke, Laojun's hand did not stop for a moment. Two cups of tea that had been brewed were pushed in front of the two of them.

Looking at the tea cup, Master Tongtian took a deep breath and said: "Okay, it's okay to recover. I've had enough of the cowardice over the years. If you return to control the way of heaven, the Taoist sect can return to its former glory. At least, you don't have to. Just like today, everyone is hiding in Heaven. Heaven is not fucking safe... Hey. It’s sad to think about it."

Hearing this, Laojun raised his head and glanced at Tongtian Cult Master with a smile: "Have you figured it out?"

"Figured out."

Laojun turned to look at Yuanshi Tianzun again: "What about you?"

Yuanshi Tianzun did not answer directly, hesitated again and again, but nodded slightly.

Even if you don't want to admit it, the Taoist sect has really been deteriorating in the past few hundred years... After all, isn't it the result of Lao Jun losing his "inaction"?

Seeing this, Lao Jun laughed cheerfully and said casually: "People don't shed tears until they see the coffin, everyone is the same. Only when you lose it can you learn to cherish it. I am actually no exception, but I have known it for a long time. It’s just the result of losing.”

"The great master wanted to break my Heavenly Dao Stone, thinking that without the Heavenly Dao Stone, they would be able to achieve Heavenly Dao cultivation. In the end, it still didn't happen."

"The demon tribe wanted to break the order established by me, thinking that they could live a good life without the suppression of heaven. As a result, without heaven, they were not facing the massacre of their fellow tribesmen. In the end, only the big demons survived well. "

Raising his chin slightly, Lao Jun winked towards the door and said, "The immortals in heaven... always thought that I restricted them in every way, but now that they are allowed to govern themselves, things are getting worse. No matter what, I have never tasted it. Give it a try, now that you have tasted it, it’s time to accept it. But, it’s not enough to just agree with you, you have to agree with the key person."

After saying that, Laojun smiled meaningfully.

In front of him, Master Tongtian and Yuanshi Tianzun were both sitting motionless. For a long time, the two looked at each other, stretched out their hands, picked up the teacups, and drank the whole drink.

…

Faced with Subhuti's obvious gaffe, Que'er just looked at it indifferently, with the smile still on his face.

After a while, Subhuti finally regained his breath, pursed his lips and said angrily: "What if I agree? If I agree, what good will it do to him? He thought that by holding the pure heart, he could blackmail the monkey. ?"

"Master said that he will not make the same mistake a second time. He doesn't bother to make it a second time." Que'er looked at the knocked over tea and said slowly: "Master, if you agree, you will do the same to me." The advantage is that, firstly, he can keep his apprentice out of the matter and not fall into it again. Secondly, the master just promised the Great Sage that junior sister Qingxin will be fine. This can be regarded as fulfilling his promise. The master, as an old man, always keeps his word. Those who have faith.”

Bowing down, Que'er silently bowed to Subhuti, and said leisurely: "The master also asked Que'er to bring another message. The master said: 'He is different from you. Please, Master Subhuti, don't be a villain. Save the heart of a gentleman.'"

After saying this conversation, Subhuti's face turned red.

This is not letting him choose. This is simply letting people humiliate him!

At this moment, Subhuti's fists were clenched so hard that they crackled. Gritting his teeth, Subhuti said slowly: "He is so confident, can he win the trust of the monkey? If I hadn't missed a move, would he have had this opportunity?"

Looking at Subhuti, Que'er smiled sweetly and replied, "Quie'er doesn't know, the master didn't tell me."

This simple sentence, coupled with the expression on his face, was like a bucket of cold water being poured down on his head. For a moment, Subhuti felt as if his heart was burning with anxiety, and a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out. (To be continued ~^~)
