The Monkey King

   "Tai Shang Lao Jun, the boy Zi Xin seeks to see Patriarch Subhuti!"

   shouted loudly, and the boy stood in front of the mountain gate, staring at the building in the view from a distance.

   For a long time, cicadas and cicadas chirped all around, and birds sang, but no one was seen from beginning to end, and the red door was tightly closed.

   The boy in purple had to cup his hands again and shouted, "Tai Shang Laojun, the boy Zi Xin asks to see Patriarch Subhuti!"

   secretly sighed in his heart: "Could it be true as the master expected?"

   Those eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, thinking carefully.

   At this moment, the door slammed open, and Yu Yi led two Taoist disciples along the long stone steps to the Ziyi boy, cupped his hands and said: "The boy has come from a long way, and if you miss it, you will meet him, atone for your sins, and atone for your sins."

  The boy raised his head high, and asked with a cold snort, "Your Master, Subhuti, is he here?"

   "Master is practicing in the Temple of Concentration."

   "Oh? Why don't you take me to see him soon?"

   "This..." Yu Yi hesitated and replied, "I'm afraid it's not very convenient."

   "Inconvenient?" The boy's eyes immediately became as big as copper bells.

Yu Yi hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands and said, "If there is no summons from the master on weekdays, I would not dare to disturb his practice. I think that the master also knew that the boy was coming at this time, but it was inconvenient to interrupt the practice when he reached the key point. Please also ask the boy. Please bear with me. Why don't you follow me into the Guanzhong, now my Master Qingyun is in charge of the Guanzhong, if there is anything, it's the same as listening to him."

  The boy's expression changed slightly, showing anger.

I think he is a boy under the throne of the Supreme Laojun. Although he has no official immortal status, he only does some trivial things on weekdays, but in the end he is the apprentice of the Taishang Laojun in name. Wherever I go, I have never been so neglected.

   If he had changed elsewhere, he would have had a seizure at this time.

   It's just that this Subhuti is a great immortal in ancient times. If he really makes trouble, even if the old master protects his shortcomings, he will give Subhuti face in the bright side, and in the end he has suffered it himself.

Thinking of this, I had to suppress the anger in my heart and said lightly: "Seeing that irrelevant person is doing so much, since Laojun sent me to see Subhuti, this boy will only see Subhuti. If it is inconvenient now, I will wait. already."

  Yu Yi bowed and said with an apologetic smile, "This will make the boy wrong. The boy thinks this is the first time to visit my Xieyue Sanxingdong Cave. Why don't we take this opportunity and let Xiaodao show you around?"

   "Oh?" The boy was shocked when he heard this, and said quickly, "So, very good!"

Taking the boy in purple clothes, Yu Yi started to wander around the Taoist temple, explaining in detail along the way, but the boy didn't listen at all, and looked at every corner of the Taoist temple with his eyes. Check out a bead hidden between the sleeves.

   Concentrating on the temple, Subhuti opened the bamboo curtain a crack and looked at the boy from a distance.

   Qingfengzi bowed behind him and sighed: "Then Taishang Laojun has not communicated with the master for hundreds of years. I am afraid that this time he has noticed it, and he must have sent a boy under his seat to test it."

  Subhuti put down the bamboo curtain, stretched out one hand and pointed to the east, and said, "The Supreme Being is here at this time, a hundred miles east."

   Qing Fengzi's expression changed suddenly and he was shocked.

Subhuti just looked at him with a faint smile, and said, "It must be the fission of the heavens, and it was inconvenient for Taishang to search all the way from Huaguo Mountain to this point, so he sent a boy from the seat to inquire. This chess game has gradually been revealed. A clue..."

   Qing Fengzi's face suddenly became serious, and said: "Master, there is something unknown to this disciple."

"speak."

   "Knowing that he came to inquire, why the master couldn't see the boy, but sent Yu Yi to show him around. In this way, it's not..."

Subhuti waved his hands lightly, walked to the futon, sat down, and said, "I am different from that Taishang Xianglai Dao, and I am like a passerby. But after living in this small world for thousands of years, I have no relationship with each other's temperament. They are all very familiar. If I saw that boy, I would appear guilty. If he wants to explore, let him explore."

  Qing Fengzi slowly let out a sigh of relief, and said, "If you can hide that too much, the road ahead will be much easier."

   He only heard Subhuti laughing dryly, and said, "Hidden? It's just letting go of the fog. How could it be so easy to hide from the Supreme Being?"

   "Isn't that master sending Junior Brother Wukong to Kunlun Mountain..."

"It's dark under the lights. The matter has come to this point, and everyone knows it well, but it's just not revealed. Even if there is no trace of Wukong in this view, the Supreme Master has already identified me. Hehehe, you can confirm it. As a teacher, I'm not afraid that Laojun will find out. But if he finds Wukong at this time, it will be a tricky thing. So Fang has decided to slow down. It is difficult to find a monkey in this world. It's not difficult, but it's easy to say, but it's not easy." Subhuti stretched out his hand and fiddled with the black and white pieces on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Wei Shi once played against that Taishang in his early years, but in the end he was inferior in strength and lost. I just don’t know how to play another round when this Heavenly Dao is fissioned. How many wins or losses. Hahahaha.”

   Nasubhuti said it indifferently, but when it fell into Qingfengzi's ears, it seemed like a thousand miles away.

  Bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the bamboo curtains, and sprinkled on Subhuti's aged face.

   The wrinkled eye sockets drooped slightly, and hidden in the wise eyes was an indestructible will.

   Qingfengzi knew that nothing could change the mind of this ancient great immortal. Thousands of years later, this game has already begun, and I will do everything I can to bet on the future. Even himself, had already been placed on the gaming table by Subhuti. There is no way back.

   "Let's be reborn after death, haha." Subhuti fiddled with the chess piece with his index finger, and sighed slightly, "What a golden cicada."

  …

   Hundred thousand miles away, the sun is warm.

   is still the familiar place, but it is no longer those trees and those grasses.

  Without the original dead wood forest, the lush greenery in one place is also a picturesque scenery.

  The long wait of twelve years, the passage of time, the shifting of stars, is enough to change countless, even the scars of heaven and earth are enough to fade, but the knot in the heart of the stone monkey can never be removed.

   Only such a stubborn monkey would hold onto that memory tightly, and would never let go even if his body was shattered.

   Following this unfamiliar and familiar road, the monkey came to Queer's grave step by step, feeling uneasy in his heart.

  The simple tombstone has long been eroded by wind and rain so that the handwriting cannot be read clearly, and it is submerged in the weeds everywhere.

   The flowers on the tree have been blooming for a long time.

   "Queer, I'm back."

   At this moment, the pain like suffocation emerged in the memory, the heart beat fast, the monkey stared at the small mound for a long time, and fell into a trance.

   His eyes gradually became moist.

   He let out a long sigh of relief.

After 12 years of farewell, traveled 108,000 miles, how many days and nights of suffering, the immature little stone monkey at the beginning has already become incomparably strong, just facing this lonely grave, that kind of helpless. The pain is still there.

   Leaned the cloud-walking stick in his hand against the tree trunk and squatted in front of the grave. The monkey was red-eyed and removed the weeds one by one, without saying a word.

   Behind him, Yang Chan hid on the edge of the boulder, suppressed her breath, and watched from a distance.

   Looking at this wild monkey, he just squatted in front of the lonely grave and lowered his head, as quiet as a different person.

   watched his tears slip down unconsciously, and were molded into the grave together with the soil.

   Hearing him say, "I thought, I'll never cry again."

   In addition to weeds, the body of the tomb was shaped. The monkey found a piece of wood and sat in front of the tomb to make seal carvings.

   "Queer, I have been to Xieyue Sanxingdong, I have been a teacher, and I have studied there for more than a year."

   "Now that I have accepted the divine realm, I will be able to learn the seventy-two transformations soon. The master has already promised me."

   "The old man has a quirky temper, but his words count. Hahahaha, he won't lie to me."

   "When I become the great sage Equalling the sky with boundless mana, I will wear golden armor and holy clothes and step on seven-colored clouds to marry you."

Looking at the mound, the monkey's eyes gradually dimmed a little, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, laughed out loud, and said, "I still can't get rid of this mess of promises. But I haven't said a word to you. Forget, really, I want to build a palace for you in Huaguo Mountain, and I want to **** you back to be Mrs. Yazhai."

  The breeze blew the weeds down and brushed the stone monkey's cheek.

   Under the shade of greenery, the scars on this monkey's body are surprisingly gentle, as if they have nothing to do with the persistently struggling soul in the view.

   Maybe it was just a hard shell, and only here could he take it off to reveal the soft side of his heart.

  Twelve years later, that knife was engraved on the tombstone, but it still hurts as if it was engraved in the bottom of my heart.

  Yang Chan watched from a distance, quietly watching as time passed.

   It turned out to be such an unbelievably stubborn heart and such a soft side. A concern, it hurts when you touch it.

   Gradually, she could see the crooked writing on the tombstone.

   "What a silly monkey." She couldn't help laughing sadly.

   Before leaving, the monkey pretended to be smiling and said, "Queer, soon I will be able to learn the seventy-two changes, and then you will be able to resurrect. I will definitely fulfill my promise and never let you suffer any grievances."

   He wanted to say something more, but found that he was too choked up to say anything.

   had to bow his head silently, turned around, and returned along the way he came.

  …

On the way to Kunlun Mountain, the monkeys were all sullen and unhappy, but Ling Yunzi, who had always talked a lot, was also unusually taciturn, with a trace of exhaustion in his expression. say.

  Tengyun's gossip crossed the sky.

  The scorching sunset, the sea of ​​​​clouds, and the fierce wind and **** hit the clouds, but they were lost in front of him.

   This is a fairyland-like scenery, but the three of them have their own thoughts, so they are silent, and no one appreciates it.

   Looking for a suitable opportunity, Monkey said: "Senior Brother Lingyun, I want to ask you something."

   "Don't ask for advice, just have something to say."

   "Senior Brother Lingyun, if a bird dies and you want to resurrect her, what should you do?"

   "If the corpse is well preserved and the soul can be found, a revival pill is enough. Although it is a top-quality pill, it is not difficult to ask the master for help."

   "If the body is not well preserved, how long will it last?"

"That would be a dilemma." Ling Yunzi thought about it carefully, and said, "If you need to go to the Yanluo Temple in the underworld, I don't know how to do it in the future. This is a yin and yang technique, and it is not my director. If you have the second senior brother Youquanzi or the master, you will know when you ask."

  Monkey nodded, secretly remembering it in his heart.

   Yang Chan glanced at the monkey from the corner of his eye, expressionless.

   When the sky was full of stars, they came to the gate of Kunlun Mountain.
