The Monkey King

"Did Xiao Nizi write you a letter?" Yang Chan appeared behind him at some point and asked, "What kind of writing is this? It looks a bit like the one you carved on the tombstone."

The monkey was startled and quickly ducked to the side.

"Last time, you peeked at me?"

Yang Chan looked at the panicked monkey with interest and smiled: "Don't worry, I can't understand."

It’s really not easy to see a monkey panicking.

"What do you want from me?" Monkey subconsciously stuffed the letter into his pocket.

"It's nothing. I originally wanted to come over and say goodbye to Youquanzi and Yue Chao, but I didn't expect them to have left." Yang Chan stood on tiptoes and looked to the west, then glanced at the monkey's pocket with the letter and asked: " What is written in it that makes you so nervous? I have never seen those words before. They are quite concise and practical. You should have taught them to Xiaonizi, right? Where did you learn them? How about taking the time to teach me? "

Monkey's already red face turned even redder: "It's useless if you learn it. Have you chosen the technique?"

"I'm quite curious. Youquanzi said that you are a soul outside of heaven, and you did not originally belong to this world. Those words, shouldn't they be yours? Do you still have the memory of the previous world? The previous world was a What kind of place is it?”

"That world..." Monkey's expression softened slightly, and he said coldly: "I can't explain it to you."

After that, the monkey turned and left.

Yang Chan quickly followed and pestered him.

"You never said it, how do you know you can't explain it clearly?"

"It's a completely different world, so it's hard to tell."

"Why don't you do it differently?"

"The rain does not depend on the Dragon King. There is no book of life and death, no soul, no reincarnation, and no past and present lives. There are no gods in the sky, no Buddhas in the West, and no one is cultivating immortality. At least this is what I know."

Yang Chan stopped, frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "What kind of world is this?"

Then he quickly followed up: "Then how did you get here? Can you still go back?"

"I want to know too." Monkey rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Have you found the technique I asked you to find?"

"The technique has been chosen, this one is the most suitable."

"There's still one missing."

"Still missing one?"

"I also need a copy of the exercises of the Enlightenment Path. This is only for the Practitioner Path."

"You want to raise a monster of enlightenment?"

"Yes. We can't just follow the Way of the Traveler, otherwise, we will be very passive."

"But do you know how long it takes to cultivate a monster who is enlightened?"

"Know."

"I know you still plan to train me?"

"It's precisely because it takes a long time that we need to cultivate them early. It's the same as opening a school."

The two of them drifted away, and in the distance behind them in the mountains, a strange Taoist boy poked his head out of the grass.

…

Xiniu Hezhou, Guanyuntiangang.

Under the scorching sun, a huge piece of land was suspended above the vast sea of ​​clouds. Warships were coming and going around it. On the land, countless heavenly craftsmen were busy.

A huge blue gem with a height of twenty feet was being moved out of the cabin of a huge battleship under the joint control of dozens of monks, and slowly fell into a cave in the middle of the land.

Canopy stood on the deck of the battleship suspended in the sky and looked from a distance.

"The gold essence is in place, and the materials from the treasury have been delivered. We are working day and night. It should only take ten months to complete." Tianfu, who was standing behind Tianpeng, turned over the notebook in his hand.

Slowly turning around, the canopy walked towards the balcony door step by step: "What if it is only partially put into use? How long will it take?"

"Marshal, if it is partially put into use..." Tianfu lowered his head and flipped through his notebook: "It will take at least six months."

"Six months?"

The two heavenly soldiers waiting in front of the hatch gave a simple military salute to the two and opened the door.

Lifting his legs and crossing the door, Tianpeng asked casually: "Are there any movements from the various forces in Rhino Hezhou these days?"

"There is no movement in Sanxing Cave, Wuzhuang Temple and Buddhist Gate in the setting moon. However, the activities of monsters around us have become more frequent in the past few days."

"Looks like I can't sit still anymore." Tianpeng smiled faintly, walked up the steps step by step, walked to the main seat in the main hall of the building, turned around, raised his head, sat down in his cloak, and casually took the tea offered by Tianbing's hands. He took a sip and said, "Is there any news about the agents sent into the enemy's interior?"

"Yes." Tianfu lowered his head and flipped through the pages of the book and said, "It has been confirmed that the Jiao Demon King is in the Cave of the Bull Demon King. Several demon kings will move around every few days, and they have been moving around more and more in the past few days. Frequently. In addition, the Peng Demon King advocated contact with our army, but was strongly opposed by the Bull Demon King. It seems that the two demon kings were a little unhappy because of this matter. Afterwards, the Peng Demon King still contacted me privately through various channels. Jun, I kind of want to stay out of it."

"Contact with our army? What are the attitudes of the other demon kings?"

"The Lion and Camel King is wavering, and the Jiao Demon King is strongly opposed. The rest is unclear at the moment." Tianfu quietly closed the book.

Taking a deep breath, Tianpeng said: "That's good. This at least shows that they are not of the same mind. Where is the Nine-Headed Insect?"

"The Nine-headed Insect is stranded in the Dragon Palace of the All Saints Dragon King in Bibotan. It has no contact with the demon kings. It seems to be very interested in the All Saints Princess. However, there is some connection between the All Saints Dragon King and the Bull Demon King."

Tianpeng bowed slightly and leaned on the back of the chair, stretched out his hand to touch his chin, and said: "All Saint Dragon King? I remember this is a dragon spirit."

"Marshal, this is indeed the case. Speaking of which, the All Saint Dragon King and the Dragon Demon King are distant relatives."

"You don't have an official immortal status yet, right?"

"It is true that there is no immortal book. However, the Ten Thousand Saint Dragon King has a very good relationship with Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea. The Dragon King of the West Sea has previously recommended him to guard Bibo Pond. However, the Jade Emperor has not yet approved it, but he has not rejected it either. Now, It’s not easy to position.”

The corners of Tianpeng's mouth raised slightly, and he said: "If the Jade Emperor approves the performance of the Dragon King of the West Sea, then the All-Saint Dragon King will become the upright Dragon King of Bibotan. In this way, when the Nine-Headed Insect enters the Dragon King's house, it will also The Heavenly Court has never cared about the marriages of the Dragon King’s family. This nine-headed insect doesn’t look like he wants to be an enemy of the Heavenly Court.”

"The Nine-Headed Insect has great magical powers. Although it is also full of misdeeds, at this juncture, if he becomes an immortal and does not stand on the side of the demon kings, it will be a good thing for our army. After rhinoceros Hezhou is defeated, if the marshal still wants to Take him and look through his files in heaven, and you will find the reasons at your fingertips."

"So, I should help the All-Saint Dragon King when discussing matters in the Lingxiao Palace?" Tianpeng raised his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "First support him to become an immortal, and then use his son-in-law... ...Let’s forget it, I, the Tianhe navy, don’t have the right to leave such words to others.”

Shaking his head, Tianpeng lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"In addition, Marshal, we already have some clues about the source of the monsters' weapons and elixirs."

"explain."

"According to the current information, it was Zhen Yuanzi who provided it."
