The Monkey King

In the dark current, the monkey moved slowly.

A few strangely-shaped fish slowly passed by his side, until they found him, they were shocked and disappeared without a trace.

The monkey was still walking forward with no expression on his face, his eyes didn't have any sparkle at all, as if he had just woken up.

After a long time, a light appeared in the distance.

In the distance, he saw the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea surrounded by mountains, like a huge octopus lying on the bottom of the sea with its tentacles stretched out.

After more than 600 years, it is still so magnificent, nothing has changed.

After a little hesitation, he smiled and lowered his body to speed up.

Not long after, a few roaming shrimp soldiers came up to greet him, pointed at the monkey with their swords in hand, and shouted loudly, "Who's coming? How can you not allow other people to trespass in the Dragon Palace?"

"Let Ao Guang come out to see me, or let Ao Ting Xin come out." Monkey said blankly.

The few shrimp soldiers were startled.

...

In the main hall, a mussel shell opened and closed slightly, breathing air bubbles, and clam spirits dressed in bright clothes kept coming and going. The night pearls around it illuminated everything brightly, and the red coral all over it was gorgeous.

Above this hall, Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess, was carefully reporting the details of the Dragon Palace's recent administration to his father.

A crab general rushed into the hall in a hurry, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is a monster monkey outside the palace gate, saying that he wants to see you..."

"A monster monkey is here?"

"Is it Xiao Qi?" Ao Tingxin whispered.

"No. If Xiao Qimo would recognize it."

Ao Tingxin smiled and said: "Could it be that there is another monkey demon in the god-refining realm in Huaguo Mountain? This is a happy thing."

The Dragon King glanced at the crab general indifferently, and asked casually, "Can the other party report the name?"

"No, there is no sign on it." The crab general cupped his hands and said: "He directly called His Majesty's name, but he refused to report his family name, and threatened to ask His Majesty to go out to see him. If His Majesty is not there, let the Fourth Princess go out to see him, then The tone is very arrogant. A few shrimp soldiers went to drive him away, but they were no match for his move. According to the last commander, the cultivation base is at least above the realm of transformation, so I will report to Your Majesty first, and then make a decision. If Your Majesty confirms that you do not know Such a monster monkey, the last commander will mobilize the guards to drive him out of the East China Sea."

When looking up again. The crab general saw the old dragon king and Ao Tingxin's faces turned pale. He couldn't help but shrank his head a little dazedly.

In the past 650 years, the Dragon Palace has been replaced several times, except for a few generals who have achieved success in cultivation and those who have made contributions and were bestowed with Pantao.

For those who haven't experienced that war, the monkey demon is just a monkey demon. There are so many monkey demons in the Three Realms. But for those who have experienced that war, the word 'monkey demon'. means a dire possibility. And the monkey demon who can directly call the Dragon King of the East China Sea and recognize the fourth princess, Ao Tingxin, is not far from that terrifying possibility.

After a long time, the old dragon king looked at the crab general and said softly, "How does the demon monkey dress?"

The crab general thought for a moment and said, "The demon monkey has no clothes, just a few banana leaves tied up, which is no different from the little demon in the shape of a square. But the cultivation base is extraordinary."

The old dragon king was already sweating. He turned his face to Ao Tingxin and said, "Who do you think it will be?"

at this time. Ao Tingxin also had a solemn expression on her face. She frowned and said, "The monsters in the God Transformation Realm should all have some knowledge. If they don't have much strength, they won't be stupid enough to enter the Dragon Palace alone. Among the three realms The monkey demons who can walk into the Dragon Palace alone and have no fear are counted as the macaque king and the prison tamarin king who are uncertain. If they are okay, after all, they are righteous brothers with the bull demon king, and the bull demon king and the heavenly court have just ceased their military. It's all about causing trouble at will. But the monkey king and the prison tamarin king have never had any dealings with my East China Sea Dragon Palace, and secondly, they wouldn't have come to the door with a few banana leaves... If it wasn't for them..."

At this point, Ao Tingxin stopped and did not speak any further.

The old dragon king looked a little flustered, and the hand holding the dragon chair was loose and tight, tight and loose.

After a long time, Ao Tingxin bowed and said: "Father, Tingxin and Huaguo Mountain have some old feelings, why don't you let Tingxin go out and see."

"Also... well." The old dragon king raised his hand and called the crab general in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Assemble the guards and accompany them to protect the fourth princess."

"promise."

Before the crab general could turn around, Ao Tingxin reached out his hand to stop it, and said softly, "No. If it is the Macaque Monkey King or the Prison Tamarin King, there will be no serious problem. It doesn't do anything. On the contrary, it is easy for the other party to misunderstand."

"Yes, yes." The old dragon king said quickly: "You see that the father is a little confused, yes yes yes, listen to what you say."

...

Not long after, the closed door of the Dragon Palace slowly opened.

Ao Tingxin lifted the skirt and crossed the threshold, and from a distance, he saw a group of soldiers surrounding the monkeys. In the middle of that circle, the monkey slumped lazily on a rock.

The moment he saw the monkey, Ao Tingxin was stunned.

She recognized the monkey at a glance, and the hand hidden in her sleeve tightened secretly.

The monkey slowly stood up on his knees, raised his head, and walked towards Ao Tingxin step by step.

"Stop! When you see the Fourth Princess, don't kneel down and salute!"

When the soldiers around them saw this, they hurried forward with their swords in hand to block them.

In a hurry, Ao Tingxin hurriedly shouted loudly: "Stop--! Everyone step back! Those who wield swords and weapons will be killed!"

With this shout, the soldiers were startled, looked at each other in dismay, put away their weapons, and slowly retreated.

"Don't worry, I don't want to fight." Passing by Ao Tingxin, the monkey strode across the threshold and walked towards the inner circle of the Dragon Palace.

Ao Tingxin swallowed dryly, and withdrew his saliva. He quickly turned around and followed in small steps. He looked like a little maid, and all the soldiers and generals were dumbfounded.

With the dignified four princesses following, naturally no one could stop him along the way. The people in the Dragon Palace bowed respectfully one by one. Just looking at the monkeys all looked a little surprised.

After reaching the inner courtyard of the Dragon Palace, the monkey stopped. He blinked his eyes and looked around for a while, and asked softly, "Where is the treasure house of your Dragon Palace? It's been too long, I've forgotten it."

"Here." Ao Tingxin lowered his head and quickly stepped forward to lead the way, and asked cautiously, "What treasure is the Great Sage looking for. Can you tell Tingxin?"

"I just want to find some clothes to wear. If I want to meet my old friend, I can't just tie two leaves and go there, right? I haven't seen each other for hundreds of years... This is too embarrassing." The monkey said softly: "After thinking about it for a long time, only I thought of you here, so I came here."

From the beginning to the end, both the tone and the demeanor were full of tiredness.

All the way to the Dragon Palace treasure house. Ao Tingxin saluted and said: "The Great Sage, please wait a moment. Tingxin will let someone go to get the key, it only takes a moment."

"Okay, hurry up." Monkey nodded.

Ao Tingxin reached out and summoned a shrimp soldier and asked him to get the key.

Although the shrimp soldier hadn't figured out what happened, the Fourth Princess personally ordered it, and naturally didn't dare to neglect, and answered "No." He quickly turned and ran away.

Wait for the shrimp soldier to leave. The monkey just glanced at Ao Tingxin and said, "Why are you so afraid of me? I remember you dared to cause trouble for me before."

"That's because Tingxin is young and ignorant." After speaking, Ao Tingxin hurriedly said, "Tingxin thanked the Great Sage on behalf of the Dragon Palace for not killing him that day."

Hearing this sentence, the monkey suddenly laughed and sighed softly: "You...you are so restrained. Your Dragon Palace didn't offend me, so why should I kill you? Besides, Yang Chan's sister-in-law is the third princess of the West Sea. , if we really want to talk about it, we are still relatives. If she does something to your Dragon Palace, she won't take my skin off?"

Ao Tingxin got up slowly and asked cautiously, "Have you seen Sister Yang Chan?"

"Not yet. I'm going to see after changing clothes. I want to meet other people, and I don't know how they are doing now."

"All these years... where has the Great Sage been? I heard that the Great Sage was imprisoned by Buddhism, but I didn't expect..."

"That's right." The monkey raised his head and sighed tiredly: "I've been locked up for six hundred and fifty years, and I just got out of prison."

Saying that, he laughed to himself.

Ao Tingxin didn't dare to laugh along, but just stood beside the monkey like a little maid.

a while. The monkey asked softly: "How is Huaguo Mountain now? It's so close, you should know it?"

"Listening to the heart, I will go for a walk in my spare time."

"Oh?"

"Since you lost the news of the great sage, Huaguo Mountain has been scattered. The battle that day also turned Huaguo Mountain into a scorched earth. Now there are still some little monsters living there, but the people who were familiar with that day, but a not anymore."

"Little demon...do you have a name?"

"Cao Xiaohua, do you still remember the Great Sage?"

"That fairy grass?"

"Well. After the war, because you lost the news, the demons disagreed, and the demon clan split. The Bull Demon King, the Peng Demon King, the Nine-headed Worm, Lu Qing, and the Multi-eyed Monster each led a team and went their separate ways. I can’t even count the small ones. Cao Xiaohua said she wanted to return to Shuilian Cave, so soon after the war, she returned to Huaguo Mountain to settle down.”

"I really didn't expect that she would be the one who will defend Huaguo Mountain in the end." Said, the monkey reached out and rubbed his eyes.

Looking up at the monkey, Ao Tingxin asked cautiously, "Master... What are you going to do next?"

At this moment, the shrimp soldier had already picked up the key and ran to Ao Tingxin with both hands.

After taking the key, Ao Tingxin reached out and opened the door of the treasure house, but his eyes still looked at the monkey from time to time, still so cautiously.

"I don't have any plans now, just take a step and see." Said, the monkey took a step forward and opened the door with his hand.

...

At this time, among the Three Realms, a gossip from Lingshan had spread like crazy, saying that there was a monk from the East who was ordered by the Buddha to go to the West to learn scriptures.

Some people say that this monk is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Buddha Tathagata. He only needs to eat a bite of his meat to live forever. There is no need to find ways to get peaches and ginseng fruit every time his life is near.

Some people say that the golden bowl given by the Buddha in his hand can gather the wealth of the world.

Some people say that if he wears the cassock given by the Buddha on his body, he can soar during the day!

The rumors became more and more mysterious, more and more incredible.

What's more, he even swears to the sky, saying that the Buddha Tathagata has made it clear that this trip to the west is a test. If he can reach Daleiyin Temple safely, it will be good, even if he is eaten by monsters and killed by mortals in the middle. , is also destiny, never pursue it...

For a time, the Three Realms were surging! (To be continued ~^~)
