The Monkey King

The black fleet that covered the sky sailed slowly, with flags flying.

Through the clouds, in the distance, a huge city slowly appeared on the horizon.

Above the boundless city, there are a large number of pumice stones and densely populated military ports.

Seeing the fleet from a distance, the city burst into earth-shattering cheers.

The monkeys standing on the deck were stunned.

The wind carrying clouds and mist blew past his face, and he opened his eyes slightly.

On the vast school grounds, the garrisoned demon troops were arrayed and knocked on their breastplates uniformly.

The bustling streets are crowded with people in different costumes. If you look closely, they are all monsters.

The little demons in uniform robes ran out of the school, cheering towards the sky, and the teachers behind them didn't even have time to stop them.

The giant bell on the top of the towering tower tolled, and the guarding bat demon poked his head out of the stone window and roared at the top of his lungs, spreading the news of the fleet's return to every corner of the city.

All the monsters came to the streets, cheering.

The fleet quickly passed between the pumice stones.

The demon soldiers on the port stood up and saluted, and the huge wooden mechanical arm hung military supplies that were not ready for return to the cabin.

"Welcome the king back! Welcome the king back!" All the monsters were shouting, watching the slowly sailing fleet.

Monkey raised his head and stared blankly at the military camps passing over his head, and the sunlight shining on his face flickered.

"These are... you have created a miracle... I almost thought I was back in Heaven. From this point of view, Heaven was not unjustly defeated."

"It's all thanks to everyone." Yang Chan, who was standing next to him, said with a faint smile: "You were right to choose to start with writing first. If they didn't start with literacy, they wouldn't know how to create, and they wouldn't be able to capture it in the world. these things."

In the distance, the monkey saw a huge black palace sitting on the pumice stone in the middle. Rough and mighty, that scale. Even no less than Guanyuntiangang.

"that is……"

"Qitian Palace, your palace, is also the political hall of Huaguo Mountain. The throne in the main hall has been cast for more than 20 years, but no one has sat on it yet." Yang Chan said with a smile.

The wind chime was already stunned from ear to ear.

The fleets dispersed towards their respective military ports.

The Qitian Palace directly in front slowly unfolded its hidden military port, like a peacock spreading its tail.

Under the guidance of the garrison, the flagship entered the harbor.

Across the hanging ravine, Monkey saw a large number of civilian monsters wearing black Confucian robes waiting in front of the temple.

"Welcome the king back!"

They all bent down and knelt down.

"Forgive me!" the monkey shouted.

The drawbridge is lowered.

Step by step as he walked down the suspension bridge, he was met by a big horn wearing a battle armor and a pretty woman wearing a light blue dress.

The monkey turned his face sideways and asked, "Is it Lingxi?"

"Yes." Yang Chan nodded and said softly: "I have transferred almost all the generals to the front line. There needs to be someone here who can control the situation. She is your goddaughter, and this status is very suitable. "

The monkey nodded silently.

Far away. Dajiao gave a military salute to the monkey, while Lingxi beside him quickly blessed himself respectfully.

"The last general, Dajiao (Chen Lingxi), paid homage to the King and the Holy Mother to welcome the King back."

Seeing the wind chimes behind the monkey, Lingxi was slightly stunned.

"No gifts, no gifts." The monkey punched the big horn: "I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years, but you have gained weight."

Dajiao scratched his head awkwardly and smiled.

Frowning, Monkey turned back to look at Lingxi with a smile. He said: "And you, why do you call me 'King'? Shouldn't you call me 'Father'?"

Hearing this, Lingxi quickly saluted again: "My daughter, Lingxi, pays homage to her adoptive father."

Only then did Monkey take a closer look at his goddaughter.

With a petite figure, a light blue dress with white fluff, long hair tied high and a delicate face, she looks like a carefully cared for Phalaenopsis. Standing next to her father, who was ten feet tall and fat. It doesn't look like a match at all.

Watch. The monkey raised his head slightly and looked at Yang Chan, and whispered: "I remember she was very fat when she was a child. Where are the rabbit ears and rhinoceros horns? I used to worry that this girl would smash her hands..."

Lingxi accidentally heard this, and her face immediately turned red.

Yang Chan frowned and blinked.

"Can you not say this here?"

The monkey then shut up.

Guards lined up on the steps blew huge trumpets.

Accompanied by this rough and melodious sound, the monkey, supported by the monsters, walked into the palace step by step.

On both sides of the long stone steps, monsters wearing black robes were crawling on the ground.

"These are the enlightened demon cultivators we have cultivated ourselves."

Behind them were towering palace buildings, each at least three stories high. The black eaves were like outstretched wings, with monster totems embedded with teeth and claws.

Passing by the majestic carved stone bridge across the emerald green river, the monkey saw a circular warship gliding across the sky. The guards on the deck all knelt down and saluted.

"That's the inner guard of Qitian Palace."

"Welcome my king!" The sergeants on both sides of the aisle, arrayed like neat pine trees, knelt down and saluted, each with a stern expression.

Monkey had never seen this battle even in heaven, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Walking through the inner school field filled with soldiers, passing through the exquisite and majestic main hall, and the exquisite and ingenious courtyard, Yang Chan led the monkey directly into the backyard of Qitian Palace.

All the things along the way have already dazzled the monkey. It's not that he has no knowledge, but he really didn't expect Huaguoshan to have developed to such a situation.

In these more than a hundred years, it seems that Yang Chan has never been idle for a moment.

In the backyard, a two-story but six-foot-tall hall surrounded by green leaves is the residence for the monkeys.

After sending everyone away, leaving only the monkey and the wind chime, Yang Chan walked into the palace step by step, showing the monkey his achievements of more than a hundred years, and said softly: "Separated by a wall, there are the residences of various military and political officials, including short-term officials." Zui and Lu Liuguai both live not far away. If you want to summon them, you can do it quickly. This time the Five Demon Kings have made outstanding achievements in battle, and they will have to be moved in soon. Of course. If you don't want to, let's discuss it separately... "

"Dajiao has always been responsible for the internal guard of Qitian Palace, and is also responsible for the security of the entire area. Now that you have officially moved in. You can consider forming a close guard and setting up a separate force independent of the internal guard. As you Heizi is responsible for the personal bodyguards. These two troops are completely independent. Except for the troops formed by the Five Demon Kings themselves, the rest of the troops in Huaguoshan are under the direct control of Duanzui..."

"Lingxi's current title is Princess Lingxi. She has been responsible for receiving advice from the East Palace and she lives not far away. She comes here often..."

"Liuguai is now the prime minister. He is only responsible for government affairs and is no longer directly responsible for the school. However, occasionally he will still go to class if he is addicted to classes..."

"The Ten Thousand Saint Dragon King is responsible for foreign affairs. After all, he has a good reputation in the Three Realms. He also has contacts with various forces, and it is convenient to have dealings with him..."

Before he finished speaking, a demon soldier walked in cautiously from outside the door, bowed and said: "King Qi, Holy Mother Qi, special envoys sent by various princes are waiting outside the palace, ready to meet with the king. Are you... …”

Princes?

The monkey was slightly startled.

Yang Chan frowned and said, "The family dinner is next. Let them go back first. Come back tomorrow."

"No." The demon soldier bowed and exited the hall.

"Family dinner?"

"Yes. There is a family banquet at noon and a celebration in the evening. We will meet with the envoys from the princes tomorrow." As he said that, Yang Chan walked step by step to the long table and held a bamboo slip in his hand: "They have already prepared the plan. I I have read it once and will read it to you now. The list for the family banquet is You, Me, Feng Chime, Lingxi, Short Mouth, Liuguai, Nine-Headed Insect, Halloween Princess Nuan Nuan, Halloween Dragon King, Yi Su, Heizi, Dajiao, Baijuan..."

"Who is Bai Juan?"

"Short-tongued madam." Yang Chan said lightly.

"Oh." The monkey grinned, and suddenly remembered the short-mouthed marriage he saw on the moon tree: "Keep reading."

"There are also my masters, Master Yuding, Cao Xiaohua..."

"Who is Cao Xiaohua? Why is this name so strange?"

"Do you still remember the fairy grass in Water Curtain Cave?"

"Is it her? Does she belong to our Huaguo Mountain?"

"It didn't count before. Forget it now. She is in charge of the Internal Affairs Treasury, and she can be considered an old man from Huaguoshan. I just invited her by the way."

"Okay." Monkey waved his hand and found a chair to sit down.

"In addition, there are Horned Snake, Master Lingyun, Shi Yuxuan..."

"Wait a minute." Monkey quickly stretched out his hand and said, "What's going on with these two?"

"Your eighth senior brother often takes his disciples to Huaguo Mountain to have a meal when they have nothing to do. Now they are in Huaguo Mountain. Originally, I wanted to come over to greet you today, but I didn't agree."

"What's going on?" Monkey couldn't help but be confused: "He didn't come when I was here, but he came suddenly when I was away. What's the purpose of this?"

"I only know that he is very interested in firearms from Huaguoshan." Yang Chan spread his hands and said, "It's up to you to decide whether you want to invite the Five Demon Kings. Also, this is the seating arrangement submitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I think It looks good, please take a look."

"No, no, no, it's all your decision. How can I know so much now that my eyes are completely dark?"

"If I decide, I'd better not invite those five demon kings. Inviting them can bring us closer, but they are not from the same group after all. Others will not be used to them appearing." As he said that, Yang Chan used a red pen He ticked the bamboo slips, thought for a while, wrote two more names, and said, "I almost forgot that there are Ting Xin and sister-in-law."

"They are both here too?"

"Yes. They are here to give gifts on behalf of the Four Seas Dragon Palace. Do you remember the special envoys from the princes that I just mentioned? Originally, my sister-in-law did not need to be invited... But you know her mouth. If you know that I have arranged it and she has no share in it, turn back. It’s time to shake things up.”

"Are they considered princes?" Monkey's brows could not help but frown.

"Otherwise what?" Yang Chan asked.

"No, no, no, I mean...aren't they the princes of heaven? Why did they come to see me?"

Wind Chime was also surprised.

Yang Chan smiled and said: "When I was at Nantianmen, I sent letters to the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, the Yamas of the Ten Palaces, and even all the sects in the mortal world. They didn't reply at that time, but now that we have won, the world is no longer the same world. .Although it is impossible for them to surrender if Sanqing does not express their stance, they still have to be discerning, otherwise they will die without knowing."

Taking a slow breath, Yang Chan continued: "Of course, there are others. The nearby human countries have also sent people, and they started paying tribute to us decades ago. After all... we want to It’s easy to kill them. They’re also afraid. I know you’re back this time, so I have to show something.”

"Is it okay to directly intervene in human countries?" The monkey was a little worried.

"That's all bad. Huaguo Mountain is here, and they can't turn a blind eye. With their help, it will be much easier for us to collect a lot of materials. Besides... it is also good for them to establish contact with us, at least, if there are monsters If they are harassed, they can ask us for help. We have besieged Nantianmen for all these years, and if Dajiao had not sent troops to take care of it, these human countries might have been tortured to death by those new little demon kings."

Monkey couldn't help but think of the years when the Tianpeng Passion Case occurred, when the entire mortal world was full of monsters. It should be the same when Huaguo Mountain besieged Nantianmen.

In the final analysis, the monsters that join the Huaguo Mountain are a great disaster to the heavens, but they are actually good to the mortal nations. At least these monsters were restrained. On the contrary, those "wild" monsters are easy to destroy for heaven, but they are helpless for mortal humans and even Taoist temples.

"Hey. This really sounds like tribute from all directions. Huaguoshan has become a super empire, and everyone is vying to pay protection fees." Monkey couldn't help but sigh.

Throughout the morning, Yang Chan kept introducing various situations in Huaguo Mountain to the monkeys. Rolls of bamboo slips were spread out, which dazzled the monkeys.

Huaguo Mountain is no longer the Huaguo Mountain it used to be.

A hundred years ago, Huaguo Mountain was just a simple war machine. For those monsters who were struggling on the edge of life and death a moment ago, being alive was already good. nothing else needed. Dealing with problems depends entirely on prestige. Anyway, Monkey alone has the final say, and it should be whatever he feels.

Now Huaguoshan has developed into a complete society. There are various classes, and each class has its own demands, involves complex interests, and is involved in various relationships. To this end, it has various cumbersome procedures and complex mechanisms. On this basis, they created a splendid new culture, but it also brought various new problems.

Looking at these things, Monkey's scalp couldn't help but feel numb, and he silently began to admire Yang Chan.

Monkey knows how stupid those monsters were back then. How hard had she worked over the years to sort out this mess?

The wind chime stood aside from beginning to end, listening to it for a while, and its head was spinning.

"What are you thinking about?" Yang Chan suddenly asked.

"No." The monkey said angrily: "I was thinking that there are so many problems to deal with, but those five guys still caused trouble for you. It is really disrespectful. I will teach them a lesson later."

"That's not necessary." Yang Chan rolled her eyes at the monkey and said calmly: "They have restrained themselves a lot since I came back from Heaven last time. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to let them be the vanguard this time."

"It'll be good if you restrain yourself." Raising his head slightly, the monkey sighed: "I saw that they fought very hard this time, and they didn't look like they were doing it half-heartedly. If that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have more powerful generals in Huaguo Mountain. . But... these things are so complicated, I'm a bit... a bit unbearable. I thought I was still the mountain king of Huaguo Mountain, but I didn't expect that you have turned me into the 'Great Emperor'."

Yang Chan laughed heartily: "What does the mountain king do to gather millions of monsters? Drinking wine and eating meat? Each of the millions of monsters can drown you with just one spit. There is no small matter in Huaguo Mountain now. "

After staring at Yang Chan for a long time, the monkey said calmly: "You are so amazing, you can actually do this."

Silently staring at the bamboo slips on the table, Yang Chan sighed: "I didn't know a hundred years ago, but in a hundred years, I have figured out everything."

Hearing this, Monkey smiled helplessly, with an apologetic look on his face, but he didn't know what to say.

This is a hundred years of hard work. In the face of this achievement, any words of thanks are insignificant.

The two of them were silent for a while, then a demon soldier walked in quickly from outside the door, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Master Ling Yun is here and wants to see your Majesty."

"Uncle Lingyun?" Feng Chime suddenly became energetic.

"See you?" the monkey asked.

"This is your senior brother, why are you asking me?" Yang Chan asked sideways.

The monkey thought for a while and reminded in a low voice: "It seems he is still your master."

…

At this time, Luzhou was in the north.

In a deserted valley, Qingfengzi carefully searched for something in an abandoned village.

The original farmland in this village has long been overgrown with weeds, and there is no longer a single intact tile-roofed house. Remains that have been eroded beyond recognition of their original shape can be seen everywhere, and they look like they have been abandoned for many years.

After a long time, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out of a courtyard whose roof had been eroded so long that he could not find it. He stepped on the gravel on the ground and frowned.

"What are you looking for?"

A voice came, and Qingfengzi was startled and turned around quickly.

Behind him, Subhuti stood with his hands behind his back, his long white beard fluttering in the wind, and he was watching him quietly.

"Disciple, see Master." Qingfengzi quickly cupped his hands and said.

Subhuti walked up to Qingfengzi step by step and said softly: "What are you looking for in this wilderness?"

"A friend of my disciple's used to live here. He passed by today and came to visit. Unexpectedly, the village has been abandoned."

Subhuti sighed lightly and said, "How is it possible to find mortal friends from more than a hundred years ago now?"

"Master, do you know?" Qingfengzi couldn't help but hesitate.

Subhuti smiled faintly and said, "If I didn't know this, how could I have let her become my disciple in the first place?"

Qingfengzi pursed her lips heavily and remained silent.

After a long time, Subhuti said softly: "This matter has passed. I know it well, so you just... don't investigate."

After saying that, Subhuti patted Qingfengzi on the shoulder and disappeared into a breeze, leaving only Qingfengzi standing there blankly. (To be continued ~^~)
