The Monkey King

The day after    the monkeys made a riot in the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion, everything in the Taoist temple seemed to be quiet.

   The bright sun shines through the cracks in the windows and sprinkles a little bit of beauty on the floor.

  Dan Tongzi leaned back, dipped a little ointment on his hand, and smeared it on the wound on his shoulder. He carefully copied the scriptures with one hand, dipping a little ink from time to time.

   "Old man, he actually used an inkstone to throw me... ah. I've only seen him smash the eighth junior brother before."

Qing Yunzi, who was beside him, pounded the medicine with a jar, and brushed the medicine powder in it onto the bamboo slips with gauze on the side. Is it a big taboo?"

   "Me!" Dan Tongzi was at a loss for words, pursed his lips, and sighed: "I'm not in a hurry, it's not that Yang Chan excited. You say, is it really possible for me to kill that monkey?"

   "I think it's possible." Qing Yunzi gave him a teasing look, and resumed his work.

  Dantongzi glanced back with hatred, then watched him finish grinding one medicine and another, endlessly.

   "Hey, isn't it? I need so much medicine for this injury?"

   "Who said it was made for you? I made it for Monkey Sun."

"What? Are you all right?" Dan Tongzi sat up all at once: "Did you do it for him? All the good people let you do it, and it was me who made the embarrassment, and you don't think who made me like this. I don't even think about who am I out of anger?"

   "Don't get involved with me. My heart is over long ago, you are framing it."

   "I framed it?" Dan Tongzi was dumbfounded, thought for a while, but then laughed again: "You idiot came out so fast this time."

  Qing Yunzi also smiled: "You're all trapped in it, and I'm going to die if I can't get out. Master doesn't care, there must be someone who understands in this view, right? Actually...it's okay to think about it."

Seeing Qing Yunzi's refreshing appearance, Dan Tongzi felt a little comfort, laying on the floor with his pillow and looking towards the ceiling for a long time, and said, "Actually, I really lost last night. He really pushed me. I used my hands, not only my feet, but also my feet. It's really a crazy monkey, don't die, I've never seen it like this. You said that if I worked as hard as he did, wouldn't Yang Jian be my opponent?"

   "You just knew you lost? You almost used your sword." Qing Yunzi said quietly from the side.

   "Tsk, can't you save me some face? I've taken the initiative to admit that you are still in trouble?" Dan Tongzi glared angrily.

   Qing Yunzi pretended not to see it, turned sideways and began to dispense the medicine.

"Forget it, it's over. It's a loss of face to be angry with junior brother. If it wasn't for the sake of you helping me smelt and refine pills for so many years, I wouldn't go and help you out. I'm disgraced myself. I've also annoyed the master, hey..."

   After sighing, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Qing Yunzi.

   And that Qing Yunzi also slowly raised his head: "Someone is here."

   After a while, the door of the attic corridor was pushed open, and a guy in a purple Taoist robe squeezed in with a smile and cupped his hands: "Hello, two brothers."

  Dantongzi immediately gave him a disgusted look and turned away from him.

  Qing Yunzi put down his work and smiled: "Lingyun. Didn't you just leave? Why did you come back?"

Ling Yunzi glanced at Dan Tongzi's back, and said with a smile: "Didn't I accept Yang Chan as an apprentice? Originally, I was going to come back in a few days to take her to see Yu Ding together, although this cultivator accepts an apprentice. The apprenticeship is all voluntary, but in the end, I also robbed someone's apprentice. The master has explained that I will take time to come and pay my respects."

   Qing Yunzi snorted and nodded.

   However, Ling Yunzi frowned and stared at him, making Qing Yunzi feel uncomfortable for a while.

   "Senior Brother Qingyun, why don't you ask anything?"

   "Ask what?" Qing Yunzi was stunned by what he said.

   "You don't ask me, since it's been a few days, why did you suddenly come back early?"

   As soon as these words came out, Dan Tong Zizizi on the side was already biting his teeth, but Qing Yunzi still seemed to understand and asked: "Then, why did you come back earlier?"

Hearing Qing Yunzi really ask this, Ling Yunzi immediately put on a dignified expression and said seriously: "Originally, I have been very busy with things at hand these few days, and I can't count the days ahead. It's just last night. Suddenly I heard that Senior Brother Dantong was punished, so ah, I'm special..."

   Before he could finish speaking, Dan Tongzi had already turned over and sat up and shouted, "You're not finished, if you want to laugh at me, just say it! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Oops! Senior Brother Dantong!" Ling Yunzi pretended to be shocked. He touched his chin without a beard and looked at the wound on Dantongzi's body. Did you hurt Junior Brother Wukong? Don't be afraid! I'll go back and teach him a lesson!"

"You!" Dan Tongzi suddenly became angry, grabbed the bamboo slip that Qing Yunzi used to bind the medicine, and threw it towards Dan Tongzi: "I'm going to beat up so much that even Master can't recognize him today. You come!"

Flashing past the bamboo slips thrown by Dan Tongzi, Ling Yunzi hurriedly turned around and ran out of the door when he saw that the other party had already reached out to draw his sword, stepped on the fence, flew far away, turned back and shouted loudly, "Senior brother, Have a good life and recuperate, I will come back to see you, Junior Brother."

   In the corridor, Dan Tongzi swung the sword in his hand shirtless and scolded: "Fuck as far as you can! Don't come again!"

   Looking at Ling Yunzi's disappearing figure, Qing Yunzi sighed and said with a smile: "This junior brother Lingyun is still the same. Our nine senior brothers, I am afraid that junior brother Lingyun is the happiest."

  Dan Tongzi put the sword back into the scabbard, sat down cross-legged, and spat bitterly: "I hang out with a bunch of goblins all day long, no matter how happy I am. It's heartless."

  Qing Yunzi said: "It's not a good thing to have a heart and lungs. I am four hundred years younger than you, but I look older than you."

   After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.

   Packed all the medicines on hand and packed them, Qing Yunzi shouted again in a loud voice: "Xu Jin-!"

   After a while, the door was pushed open, and Xu Jin knelt down respectfully: "Master, what are your orders?"

  Qing Yunzi pointed to the medicine bag on the side and said, "I will send it to you, Master Sun, three times a day, for internal and external use, and it is clearly written on the inside."

  Xu Jin was stunned for a moment. After confirming that he heard correctly, he reached out and picked up the medicine bag, closed the door and turned to leave.

   After being silent for a while, Dan Tongzi asked slowly, "Are you rehabilitating?"

Seeing that Qing Yunzi didn't speak, Dan Tongzi said lazily: "Actually, what you said at the beginning was absolutely correct, this monkey's character, the practitioner's way, will definitely cause trouble in the future. And I think his aptitude is not ordinary. That's good, it's just heaven. After tossing it twice, I feel more and more that you're right. No one can afford this kind of person."

"It's a senior brother, there's no need to be too stiff. Let the master think about those troubles in the future, we can't control it." After speaking, he walked out of the corridor and faced the downstairs who had just left the door. Xu Jin explained: "It was said that it was sent by your uncle Dantong."

  Xu Jin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes!"

   "Go away!" Dan Tongzi hurried out of the house and pointed at Xu Jin and shouted, "You have to say that I sent it back to see that I won't kill you!"

   was at a loss for a while, so he could only cast his eyes towards Qing Yunzi for help.

   "Alright, alright, let's just say I gave it." Qing Yunzi smiled helplessly.

   Hearing this sentence, Xu Jin bowed to the two of them and turned to leave.

   "Didn't you think about it?" Qing Yunzi asked Dan Tongzi with a glance.

"If I want to give it to myself, I will give it to myself, you don't need to worry about it!" Said, Dan Tongzi walked into the room indignantly: "Going to deliver medicine now makes me feel like I'm coming to the door to apologize, I'm not so shameless yet. !"

  …

   At dusk, in Lingyan, the monkey was lying on his back before lying on the couch, and he seemed to be in a deep coma.

   However, even though he was in a coma, the muscles on his body were tensed, and there was no sign of loosening.

   His breathing was still rapid, his eyes were tightly closed, his expression was painful, as if he was having a nightmare.

   "Monkey... How is Master Sun's injury?" Feng Chi asked with concern.

Subhuti sat on the edge of the couch and stretched out his hand to check the monkey's pulse: "The teacher helped him to stabilize his injury. Later, he used the medicine sent by Qingyun three times a day, and he would recover within a few days. The anger has not gone away.”

   Hearing Subhuti's words, the wind chimes felt a little calmer.

   For an ancient great immortal like Subhuti, even resurrecting the dead is not difficult. But it is not so easy to eliminate hostility out of thin air.

   turned around, Subhuti's eyes swept directly from Yang Chan's body without stopping at all, then turned to look at the wind chimes and said: "I will send a pair of shackles for the teacher to Yu Yi in a while."

   "Shackles?"

Subhuti reached out and took a white cloth, wiped off the stains on his hand, looked at the deeply unconscious monkey and said, "Soon he will wake up, but his anger has not gone away. If he doesn't care, something will happen. Handcuffed, Master Rong Wei will think carefully about the solution."

   "Thank you, Master." The wind chimes hurriedly handed over.

   After Subhuti left, Yang Chan said disdainfully, "To get rid of the anger, killing is all it takes. Where do we need what to do?"

  The wind chimes didn't talk to each other, just walked over to carefully arrange the monkey's bedding, and stroked the monkey's rough face with those little hands, and his expression was full of worry.

   "Hey, didn't you say he's all right? Why is Subhuti worried here?" Yang Chan said while lying on her head.

  Wind Chime turned around and glared at her, with a rare anger on his face.

   "It's you who made the monkeys like this!"

   "Without me provoking Dan Tongzi to draw his sword, do you think Subhuti would come to the rescue? At that time, this wild monkey will inevitably be beaten again."

   "That's also your fault!" The wind chimes shouted: "If it wasn't for you, how could the monkey face Uncle Dantong! It's all about you! It's all about you!"

   "Humph!" Yang Chan bit her lip and said angrily, "This monkey provoked Qing Yunzi before I came, why did I make them go against each other? Too lazy to argue with you ignorant girl!"

   After saying that, she turned around and left.

   She didn't return to the Taoist temple until late at night, holding two little demons that were powerless to resist.
