The Monkey King

   In the dark ocean current, the monkey moved slowly.

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

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

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

   From a 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.

   hesitated for a while, then he smiled, lowered his body and accelerated forward.

   After a while, a few swimming shrimp soldiers came up to greet him, pointed at the monkey with their swords in hand, and shouted loudly, "Who is coming? How can you not allow other people to trespass in the important area of ​​the Dragon Palace?"

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

   The shrimp soldiers were startled.

  …

   In the main hall, a mussel shell opened and closed slightly, snorting 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 hurried into the hall, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is a demon monkey outside the palace gate, saying he wants to see you..."

   "A demon monkey came?"

   "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 spirit-refining realm in Huaguo Mountain? This is a happy thing."

  Dragon King glanced at the crab general lightly, and asked casually, "Can the other party report his 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 he raised his head 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 six hundred and fifty 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 monsters are just monkey monsters. There are so many monkey monsters 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.

   For 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 on his body, just a few banana leaves, which are no different from the square-shaped little demon. 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 just a matter of causing trouble at will. But firstly, the monkey king and the prison tamarin king have never had any dealings with my East China Sea Dragon Palace, and secondly, they would never come to the door with a few banana leaves... If it wasn't for them..."

  's words came to this point, Ao Tingxin paused 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 love, why don't you let Tingxin go out and see."

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

   "No."

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, yes." The old dragon king said quickly: "You see that the father is a little confused, yes yes yes, listen to your heart."

  …

   After a while, the closed door of the Dragon Palace slowly opened.

  Ao Tingxin lifted the skirt and crossed the threshold, and in the 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    saw the monkey, Ao Tingxin was stunned.

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

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

   "Stop! Don't kneel down and salute when you see the Fourth Princess!"

  The surrounding soldiers saw this, and they hurried forward with their swords 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 of   , 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 listened to the heart and swallowed dryly, then he calmed down, turned around and followed in small steps, with an expression like a little maid, and all the soldiers were dumbfounded.

   There are four dignified princesses to follow, and naturally no one stops them on the way. The people in the Dragon Palace bowed respectfully one by one. Just looking at the monkeys all looked a little surprised.

  The monkey stopped when he reached the inner courtyard of the Dragon Palace, blinked his eyes and looked around for a while, and asked softly, "Where is your Dragon Palace's treasure trove? It's been too long, I've forgotten."

   "This way." 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 something 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... It's too embarrassing." The monkey said softly: "I thought about it for a long time, and I just thought of it. You are here, so here you go."

   From beginning to end, both his tone and 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." The monkey nodded.

  Ao Tingxin stretched out his hand to summon a shrimp soldier and asked him to fetch the key.

   Although the shrimp soldier hadn't figured out what happened, the Fourth Princess personally ordered it, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect, and answered "promise". 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 you 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 plan to change my clothes and go see me. I also want to meet other people, and I don't know how they are doing now."

   "All these years... where is the Great Sage? 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."

   said, he laughed heartily.

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

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

   "If you listen to your heart, you will go for a walk in your 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?"

   "Grass Xiaohua, does the Great Sage still remember?"

   "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 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 quickly ran to Ao Tingxin with both hands.

   took the key, and 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 reached out to open the door.

  …

   At this time, among the Three Realms, a gossip from Lingshan has spread like crazy, saying that there is a monk from the East who was ordered by the Buddha to go to the West to get Buddhist 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, and he will live forever. There is no need to find ways to get peaches and ginseng fruit every time his life is approaching.

  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, he can soar during the day!

  The rumors are getting more and more mysterious and bizarre.

What's more, he even swears by 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~^~)
