The Monkey King

When the sky became gray and bright, Qingxin slowly opened her eyes and saw the somewhat hazy sky. Suddenly, she was shocked and sat up completely.

When he saw Nezha standing still in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he relaxed, pain quickly spread from the injury on his shoulder. Under the severe pain, his face became paler, and large beads of sweat emerged from his forehead.

"Are you okay?" Nezha glanced at her lightly and said, "In addition to external injuries, there are also internal injuries. I'm afraid they won't be cured for a while. Why don't we go back to heaven first?"

"I'm fine."

"Anyway, the demon monkey hasn't caused any trouble yet. It's just a matter of face. Go back and cultivate..."

"I told you I'm fine!" Qingxin's voice suddenly rose an octave higher, followed by a cough.

Nezha looked at her quietly and said nothing.

The breeze blows through the beginning of Qingxin.

After a moment of slowing down, Qingxin stood up slowly, holding her shoulders. Looking at the gray Huaguo Mountain, she suddenly felt a little confused.

"They attacked eight times at night last night, and I did it once."

"last night?"

"In the early morning, I came out and yelled a few words. As soon as I made a move, they got into the hole. It's hard for me to chase you here." Looking at the rising sun on the horizon, Nezha said : "Originally, as long as I don't enter the cave, they can't do anything to me. But you are injured, so it's really dangerous. If something happens, I can't explain it to Laojun."

Qingxin wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve. He said softly: "If the old man dares to acquiesce in my coming, he will definitely be fine."

Nezha still straightened his back and stood quietly like a soldier on guard, leaning on his fire-tipped spear. He glanced at Qingxin quietly and said, "Then... what to do next?"

"I don't know either." Qingxin took out the beads from her sleeves and shined them in the morning sun. He brought it to his lips, took a breath of hot air, and wiped it repeatedly with his sleeve. After a long while, he whispered: "Look around, there will always be something they want me to see."

Looking at Qing Xin, Nezha couldn't help but sigh.

This must be the most depressing time Qingxin has ever experienced in his life. But what is she insisting on? Is there something here she must find?

She is such an arrogant young lady with a noble status. Why take such a risk in a place where there is almost no vegetation?

Nezha really doesn’t understand.

The cave is inaccessible. The monsters are already wary. Even if they look for him, they probably won't be able to find him, let alone asking.

Really having no other choice, Qingxin took the bead and started walking around. In the early morning light, she began to look at it bit by bit, fascinated.

The pictures in the bead were flowing rapidly.

She saw a large number of destitute monsters who looked like refugees. People came from all directions with blood-stained knives and lined up to register in front of the magnificent city-state.

I saw monsters of various shapes and ages crowded in the classroom, listening to the teachings of the teacher who was much shorter than them, reading and practicing calligraphy.

I saw the monkeys leading the army in a fierce battle with the Tianhe navy. They were killed in a blinding manner and blood flowed into rivers.

Seeing a well-behaved woman in purple standing next to the monkey, the monkey called her.

Qingxin was shocked and quickly put down the beads and blinked.

There are only pictures and no sounds in the beads. Qingxin knows how to read lips.

"He just called her...Wind Chime?"

When she picked up the beads again, Qingxin couldn't find the scene just now.

Huaguo Mountain is too big. There are countless demons in Huaguo Mountain. In just a few hundred years, it has gone through several changes. And Qingxin didn’t even know the original layout of this place. Let alone retrieving the scene just now, even trying to find the woman just now is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

not to mention. She still hasn't mastered the use of this bead.

After struggling for a whole day, maybe it was because the injury had worsened, maybe because he couldn't find the key that he had just discovered, or maybe he thought of the weird hints from his two masters, and Qingxin felt a little discouraged. .

She sat on her knees beside a huge leaning pillar and stood in a daze.

"What's wrong? If you don't want to continue looking, just take a rest."

Qingxin slowly shook his head.

Nezha spread his hands helplessly, jumped onto the rock with a wide view, and continued to act as her personal bodyguard silently.

…

Xiniu is on the Hezhou side.

The group set out early and walked the mountain road for a whole day without any surprises. In the evening, they lit a bonfire and camped out beside a stream in the mountains.

As soon as the group stopped, Xuanzang became busy again, copying and writing without stopping for a moment.

The monkeys were so bored that they almost dozed off.

In terms of physical strength, the monkey is countless times stronger than Xuanzang. The biggest torture for him during this journey westward was actually having nothing to do.

Xuanzang went to debate the Dharma and attain enlightenment. For him, traveling westward was the biggest test in this life. Before the war, he had endless things to do. Even when riding a horse on the road, it seems that he is constantly thinking about something.

For Monkey, going west is just to be a bodyguard. When it comes to things like bodyguards, you can only do things if someone is looking for trouble. If no one is looking for trouble, you can only stare at them.

When I was at the foot of Five Elements Mountain, I was actually more bored than now, with nothing to do. But by then, the monkey had learned to sleep. When you fall asleep, you will dream, and it will no longer be so boring. But not now.

Sometimes, the monkey even hopes that someone will come to find trouble every day, whether it is a god, a monster, or even a Buddha. That way, at least you won't have to yawn and look at the scenery like this.

He kept staring at the stream, and when he counted the twenty-fifth leaping fish, the monkey couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to stand up and pace back and forth to let the cool breeze blow on his face.

Looking back, Xuanzang was still fussing endlessly, the black bear spirit was in a daze, the little white dragon was already snoring, and the canopy was sitting upright by the campfire, adding firewood from time to time.

The firelight reflected his face, like a wooden man. I don’t know what I’m thinking.

After pondering for a while, Monkey decided to find something to do.

Looking for Xiao Bailong?

Forget it, what else can we talk to him about besides his wife? Now the monkey gets a headache whenever this topic is mentioned.

Looking for a canopy?

This... seems feasible, but the monkey doesn't want to do it.

Looking for black bear spirit?

This guy is more boring than a monkey who has been trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for 650 years. It is really meaningless.

Is it possible to chat with that horse?

Go round and round. The monkey walked to Xuanzang's side, stretched his head and looked around.

"What are you doing?"

"While counting the medicinal materials used earlier, I'm afraid I have to pay attention to collecting medicinal materials along the way." As he said this, Xuanzang reached out and fiddled with the abacus beside him.

"Do you know how to keep accounts?" Monkey smiled helplessly and said, "Earlier you said that kung fu was taught by the monks in the temple, but this account keeping is not taught by Mr. Accountant, right?"

Xuanzang said without raising his head: "Jinshan Temple is a big temple. Naturally, there is a post of accountant."

The monkey frowned slightly and sighed: "You can keep accounts, you can see a doctor, you can fight... Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Xuanzang looked up at the monkey, as if he didn't quite understand what the monkey wanted to say.

Crossing his hands, the monkey said leisurely: "I see you, apart from cultivating immortals and becoming a Buddha, there is nothing you don't understand. It is a pity for such a person to be a monk. You must be willing to hang out in the mortal world and be granted official titles. It should be a no brainer.”

Saying that, the monkey glanced at Xuanzang.

Xuanzang smiled faintly, lowered his head and continued working.

"Why don't you tell me about your way to enlightenment? Is it better for us to discuss it than to have nothing to do?"

“Purdue is not about talking.”

"Then what are you going to do next? Deliver the letter all the way?"

"The letter must be delivered. Once you deliver the letter, you will be able to stay overnight and beg for alms. Otherwise, the poor monk would have turned into a withered skeleton before we even reached the Great Leiyin Temple."

After looking at Xuanzang for a long time, the monkey could only say two words: "Trouble."

"What?" Xuanzang asked, raising his head.

"Nothing?" Crossing his hands, the monkey turned to the side and said leisurely: "I'd better chat with the horse. Hey, do you think if it continues to follow us all the way, will it be gone before it reaches the Great Leiyin Temple? Have you become a sperm?"

After looking at the monkey's retreating back for a long time, Xuanzang thought for a while. He lowered his head and continued to be busy.

…

In Huaguo Mountain, the moon and stars are few and far between.

Qingxin, who was also bored, was lying on the rock with her arms as pillow, familiar with the beads, and looking up at the stars in the sky with the beads in her hand.

"Looking at the night sky with this bead will give you a really different view. Hundreds of years of star movement and changes in the entire astrolabe are all deduced here."

Nezha on the side raised his eyebrows slightly and remained silent.

On the hillside two miles away, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Cao Xiaohua and Xiao Qi watched the two people quietly.

Xiao Qi asked in a low voice: "What is that bead used for?"

Cao Xiaohua didn't answer. She took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure she is really a disciple of Patriarch Subhuti?"

"Well... I can't say for sure. But the fourth princess said that Patriarch Subhuti did have an eleventh disciple who was admitted more than two hundred years ago. She was a woman named Qingxin. At the previous Peach Party, the four The princess has met her once, and the appearance she described is indeed similar to hers. And..."

"what else?"

"Also, she is also Taishang Laojun's disciple."

Cao Xiaohua's eyes slowly glanced towards Xiao Qi.

"Not only do you find this strange, but I also find it strange. Even the fourth princess also finds it strange. Although the relationship between the two has improved a lot over the years, it should not be to the point where the two of them can accept a disciple together. . And I heard that she was taken into their disciples by the two of them right after she was born. Even their disciples don’t know the specific reason.” After saying that, Xiao Qiba chirped twice and said: “It turns out that she is a pampered young lady. No wonder she has a bad temper. So hard. How about it, do you want to go see her?"

Cao Xiaohua shook her head and said: "Then there is a general beside us. No matter what, Nezha will not be on our side, right?"

Xiao Qi scratched her head and said: "The fourth princess said that Li Jing has been tortured by the Great Sage recently. Logically speaking, he should not dare to instruct his son to use tricks against the Great Sage."

After calming down for a moment, Cao Xiaohua said: "It's better to be careful. It's best to lure Nezha away and then hold her and ask her."

"I'll try to lure Nezha away tonight," Xiao Qi said.

…

at this time. Above the clouds, there were two people watching the two sides silently.

Looking at the dried blood on Qing Xin's body, Lao Jun frowned for a long time and sighed: "The restrictions in Huaguo Mountain are too dangerous. Actually... Oops, didn't you mean Huaguo Mountain? Isn’t it dangerous?”

"I just said that there will be no worries about life." Subhuti said, stroking his long beard.

Laojun turned his head and glanced at Subhuti, shook his head, and snorted angrily: "When you said you let her see it by herself, I shouldn't have agreed."

"What? Are you feeling distressed?"

"As a master, I'm not as hard-hearted as you."

"Come on, you've never cared so much about other disciples. I'm very nice to my disciples." After that. Subhuti laughed.

Laojun pursed his lips and glanced at him again, and said leisurely: "I didn't know who it was at the beginning. My disciples were about to drown, but they were not allowed to save them. A teacher is unkind, and the world is so cold."

"Didn't you know you would take action?"

"What about this time?"

"It's okay to give it a try. This girl has been spoiled by you since she was a child, so she has to suffer a little. It's a good thing." Subhuti said: "I came here this time specifically to prevent you from rescuing her."

While he was talking, Qingxin suddenly sat up, blinked his eyes blankly, and held the beads in a daze.

"What's the matter?"

"I seem to have found a way to use this bead? You can control the length of time between scenes!" As she said that, Qingxin stood up quickly, enduring the injuries and fatigue on her body, and started to look around with the bead.

Nezha followed quickly.

For a moment, the grass flowers in the distance couldn't help but stretch their necks, not knowing why.

Although Qingxin has been injured. But with Nezha here, no matter what Qingxin does, the monsters in Huaguo Mountain can only stare.

Enduring his injuries, Qingxin took action quickly, with Nezha following closely, while the demons of Huaguoshan watched from a distance. Don't dare to let down your guard at all.

Along the way, the scene in the bead changed rapidly with Qingxin's thoughts.

After going around and around, not long after, based on the scene in the bead, the time was quickly locked to eight hundred years ago. At the foot of Huaguo Mountain, Qingxin watched with her own eyes as a boulder cracked in the middle, and a young monkey staggered out of it. The monkey looked around in horror, panicking.

"He really jumped out of the stone... In that case, is he still a monkey demon?"

"This...should still be a monkey demon. But is it that important what he is?" Nezha replied.

The beads in his hand quickly transformed the scene of the past. Qingxin watched the newly born monkey start tossing around, talking nonsense, fooling the monkeys, climbing the rope he knitted into the water curtain cave and becoming the monkey king. From the water curtain cave He came out of the cave, hadn't eaten enough, and was chased by a tiger with nowhere to hide. He still relied on the guidance of a canary to save his life.

Immediately afterwards, the monkey, which had not recovered from its injury, began to frantically play with the tiger.

Seeing him with a few leaves tied around his body and grinning while holding up a stick, Qingxin couldn't help but laugh.

With such a monkey, who can connect him with Monkey King, the Monkey King of Monkey King who will be lawless and dominate the three realms many years later? Even compared to the newly transformed little demon, it is slightly inferior.

When she saw the monkey and the canary proposing to go to sea to seek immortality, and mentioned the Xianyue Sanxing Cave in Hezhou, Xiniu, Qingxin frowned slightly, but didn't take it seriously.

She followed the monkey's pace all the way, and soon she saw the monkey and the canary boarding the raft out to sea, saw the raft being overturned by the storm, and saw the monkey and the bird clinging to each other on the only remaining wooden pile. A ridiculous promise was made.

The light and shadow flew quickly.

She saw the monkey and the bird lose consciousness, and saw a golden carp appear beside them. Perhaps out of good intentions, the golden carp sent them to the other side of the sea and then left.

When the monkey hid on the branch with the dying canary and trembled slightly, Qingxin seemed to be able to understand the sadness and helplessness of the monkey in that scene.

Chase all the way.

Until the monkey and the bird were trapped on a dead tree in the desert, Qingxin read two words from the monkey's mouth - "queer".

At this moment, Qingxin suddenly felt excited.

"Quer... this canary is actually called Que'er?"

With her eyes wide open, Qingxin suddenly remembered what Sister Que'er in the Tushita Palace, who had always taken good care of her, said to her.

The name "Qier" did not originally belong to her! (To be continued ~^~)
