The Monkey King

   On the top of the cliff, I look down at the small village in front of me.

Under the sun, there are dozens of huts dotted all over the place, the long fence is full of morning glories, three or two villagers are driving their cattle to work in the fields, a peasant woman is weaving in her yard, and a few children are working in the fields. Playing with water on the creek. It seems that it is no different from an ordinary small village in the mortal world.

   "Is this the only way to go?"

   "It's the only way to go, but..." Shi Yuxuan looked down at the sheepskin map in her hand repeatedly. After a while, she frowned and said, "This map doesn't indicate that there is a village here."

   "Where did your map come from?"

   "It was left by my master Ling Yunzi. Master, his old man likes to travel in the mountains and waters, so there are also many maps, and they are very accurate."

"Senior Brother Eight's map? It's been so many years, not to mention a village, even if the national border has already changed, how can I count it?" Qing Xin glanced at the village again, clapped her hands and said: " Since this is the only way to go, let's wait here. The reincarnation of Jin Chanzi is a monk, also known as a monk. When he meets someone, he must make a predestined relationship and borrow a place to stay. Wait here. Can't go wrong."

   said, she has already strode down the mountain.

   Shi Yuxuan was stunned, hesitated for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Who made her a Master Uncle?"

   After saying that, she quickly followed.

  Vaguely, she always felt inappropriate, but it didn't seem like there was any danger.

   Although there are many mortal monsters today. The forces of all parties are intertwined, but where is the little monster who is usually ignorant of her uncle's opponent?

   As for those demon kings with some vision, they would never want to offend both Subhuti and Taishang Laojun at the same time, right?

   Tianting's words are easy to say, the demon kings of the Tianjun may not be afraid, but they are powerful. This is not a joke, once offended, maybe one night when you close your eyes, you will never be able to open them again.

   Walking along the long mountain road, the two soon reached the bottom of the cliff and met an old man who was chopping wood.

   The old man was slightly startled when he saw the two of them. Look into God. next moment. He seemed to remember something, his eyes widened in shock, and he was speechless.

   After a short silence, the old man threw the father and son in his hands and slumped on the ground, trembling slightly.

  Qingxin hurriedly trotted over, stretched out his hand to help the old man, and said, "Old man. What's the matter with you?"

   The old man blinked and said, "You... are you... a monster or a fairy?"

   Hearing this, Qing Xin couldn't help giggling.

   That smile was as warm as the winter sun.

   "Old man, we are just passersby."

   "You don't have to deceive me, how can there be passers-by like you?"

   "How are we?" asked innocently.

The old man trembled slightly and took two steps back. He couldn't help but glance at Qingxin, and then lowered his head in panic and said, "There are no villages in this place, so how can passers-by not bring their luggage? Besides, pedestrians come from a long way. It must be dusty, how can it be like you... so..."

   For a while, the old man could not find words to describe the two women in front of him. Hold for a while. He just blinked his eyes and said in a low voice, "You are either the fairies in the sky, or... you are transformed by the fox demons in the mountains and forests. How can mortals be born so beautiful as you?"

   Hearing this, Qing Xin couldn't help but burst into laughter, and Shi Yuxuan, who was behind her, also laughed "giggling".

   After so many years, it was the first time that Qing Xin had left the two masters. It was also the first time I had contact with a real mortal.

   She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said sternly: "Old man, I'm not a fairy or a monster, I'm just a person, but... I'm a person with some magic power."

   said, Qing Xin pointed at it, and the pile of firewood on the side flew up one by one, so shocked that the old farmer couldn't close his mouth.

   Right in front of the old man, each piece of firewood was split open and neatly folded.

   Qingxin clapped his hands and said proudly, "Look, I won't harm you, but I'll still help you with your work. Could it be a monster?"

   The old man couldn't help but hesitate, but his feet were still weak, and he leaned on the rock beside him and covered his chest for a long time, unable to speak. He just kept blinking his eyes and looked up and down at the two of them.

   Shi Yuxuan was fine, not to mention the face, the Taoist robe in that suit, although it is not common to see, but it is not too bad.

  A pure heart is already an existence in another world for him.

   Not to mention anything else, the pink and emerald green dress alone, just in color, looks extraordinary. There are also a few simple decorations on the bun, and if you look closely, they are not what ordinary wealthy people may have.

   Besides, that face is a beauty that the old man has never seen in his life. That pair of watery eyes, the old peasant was a little afraid to look at it, for fear that if he looked twice, his soul would be sucked away.

   stayed like this for a while, and asked cautiously, "Old man, are you alright?"

   "Uncle, let's go back, it will frighten them." Shi Yuxuan whispered.

  Qingxin pouted and stared at the old man with frowning, still standing still.

   After staying for a while, the old man finally regained his strength and asked in a low voice, "Are you really not a monster?"

   "It's a monster. Will you stand here talking to you and help you with your work?"

   "That's right... that's right." The old man clutched his chest and slowly relieved, then asked in a low voice, "Then... what did you just say you were going to do?"

   "I said we were going to wait here."

   "Wait someone?"

   "Yes." Qing Xin raised her head and looked in the direction of the village.

   At this time, everyone in the village seemed to have noticed the arrival of the two, and they all put down their work and watched from a distance, with fear and curiosity in their eyes.

   turned around and said to the old man Qingxin: "Grandpa, we are going to stay here for a few days, can we stay at your house?"

   "Lodging?" Shi Yuxuan exclaimed on the spot: "Let's wait outside the village, don't live in the village."

"why?"

"Look at how they are...convenient?" Shi Yuxuan took a deep breath and said, "Besides. You don't know what the houses in these mountain villages are like. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with sleeping in the rough. What's the difference, the big deal is to cast some spells to turn into a house."

   "I just want to live in the village, can't I?" Qing Xin gave Shi Yuxuan a blank look. Then he turned to look at the old farmer and said, "Grandpa, is it alright?"

   "This..." The old man said hesitantly, "I'm afraid this is not very convenient, right?"

   "Aren't you going to agree?"

   "No." The old man waved his hand quickly and said, "It's just... It's really not convenient. How can you live in my house just looking at the clothes of the two girls?"

   Looking at the old man, Qingxin frowned slowly.

   At this sight, the old man couldn't resist, and said quickly, "I'll show the two of you, let's see. The two girls will understand."

   said. The old man led the two of them slowly towards the village along the path beside the field. The villagers were still watching from a distance, their eyes widened, and the young men even lost their souls. .

  …

   At this moment, in one of the unremarkable thatched huts, Puxian was watching them from a distance through the gap in the window lattice.

The monk beside    asked in a low voice, "Master, we are waiting. Could it be them?"

   Puxian nodded slightly,

   "Then, what should we do next?"

   "Don't do anything, just do your best to maintain the entire village." Taking a deep breath, Puxian sighed: "Just do your best to maintain the entire village. Be sure not to let them see any clues."

   "Disciple understands."

  …

   In this illusion specially created for her, Qing Xin followed the old farmer slowly and looked around happily.

   The boy staring blankly at her carrying the rice. The shepherd boy driving the ox and the hat on his back, the donkey on the stone mill in the yard...

  In her eyes, everything in this ordinary village is so novel, and everything she has never seen in Xieyue Sanxingdong or Tusita Palace.

   That smile made Shi Yuxuan feel helpless behind her.

  Is this really for meeting Uncle Wukong? Or are you just looking for an excuse to go out for a walk?

   walked for a while. The old farmer pointed to the front and said, "That's the old man's house."

In the distance, the two of them saw a small thatched yard surrounded by dilapidated fences. The walls seemed to be made of rubble piled up, and the straw on the roof was even thicker and shallower. Is tinkered many times.

   In that courtyard, an old-fashioned mother-in-law who looked to be in her 80s was sitting on a small stool and wading rice all over the place.

"Who is this…"

   "This is... my mother."

   "What about your children, Grandpa?"

The old peasant was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said in a low voice, "There is a son who was accidentally bitten to death by a tiger twenty years ago. My mother-in-law also fell ill because of this... After that, the only thing left in the family is Let's get down with our mother and son."

   Hearing the words, Qing Xin hurriedly closed her mouth in embarrassment, not daring to ask any more.

   Along the way, behind them, a group of villagers followed from a distance, looking around curiously.

   After walking into the courtyard, Qingxin slowly walked up to him and bowed his hands and said, "Hello, grandma."

  The mother-in-law was startled and raised her head quickly, but she was in a trance for a long time and said, "Who...who?"

   The old farmer whispered: "My mother's eyes are not very good."

   said, walked to the mother-in-law's ear and shouted loudly: "Mother, there are guests at home!"

"What did you say?"

   "I said, there are guests at home—!"

   "Oh, guest." After that, the mother-in-law sat still again.

   Shi Yuxuan, who was standing at the end, looked at the mother-in-law helplessly and sighed: "It seems that not only the eyes, but also the ears are not very good. This grandfather's life is really..."

Qing Xin pouted and glanced at Shi Yuxuan, took out a white bottle from her sleeve, poured out a golden pill, stuffed it into the hands of the old farmer, and said, "Grandpa, eat this for the grandma, eyes and ears will be gone. It's all good, and it should be another twenty years."

   "Huh?" Not only the old farmer, but even Shi Yuxuan was stunned.

  The old peasant looked at the golden pill in the palm of his hand, his mother, and Qingxin again, panicking for a while.

   Shi Yuxuan leaned against Qing Xin and asked in a low voice, "Is this... the golden elixir of Taishang Laojun?"

"kindness."

   "You're just giving it to an old woman you've never met?"

   "Can't you?" Qing Xin asked rhetorically.

   "This thing... This should be used by Taishang Laojun to improve your cultivation, right? Many monks dream of it."

   "Do you want it too?"

   "This...I...Who doesn't want this?"

"This is what I took from the Tusita Palace." Qing Xin shook the bottle in her ear, and said, "There are five left, and I will give them to you. I will ask the master to ask for it later. "

   Said, Qing Xin had already stuffed the bottle into Shi Yuxuan's hand.

   For a while, Shi Yuxuan and the old peasant had the same expressions.

  Seeing this situation, Qingxin walked to the old farmer step by step, took the golden pill in the palm of the old farmer's hand, and gently placed it on the lips of the old woman.

   "Come on, mother-in-law opens her mouth, ah~"

   In the eyes of everyone's doubts, the old woman opened her mouth slightly and put the golden pill in her mouth.

   Immediately afterwards, an incredible scene happened.

   In front of everyone, the traces left by the years seem to be being pulled away from the old woman bit by bit by some force.

The wrinkles on his face were reduced little by little, the hair that had fallen down to only a few strands grew out quickly, and the hands that were shriveled to the point where only bones were left became fleshed out little by little, even that The radiance in the empty eyes is gradually recovering.

   After a while, the old woman stood up slowly, looked around in horror, and looked at the smiling and pure heart. Immediately afterwards, hot tears fell from his eyes.

   The people around were also looking at her in horror.

   "Gods—! Immortals—!" Someone suddenly shouted, and then, the villagers outside the fence knelt and bowed one by one, screaming and grabbing the ground.

  The mother and son in the courtyard also hurriedly knelt to the ground and couldn't help kowtow.

   Qingxin was so frightened that she hurriedly stretched out her hand to help them, insisting on persuading them not to kneel again.

  …

   From a distance, Puxian suddenly laughed.

The monk on the side of    couldn't help but be puzzled, and said, "This is too bold, Jindan, just take it and give it to people like this? Back then, the Jade Emperor had spent a lot of effort to ask for one."

   "Do you know who she is?"

   The monk slowly shook his head.

   Puxian sighed and said: "On the bright side, she is the last disciple of Subhuti, but in fact, she has another identity - the only disciple who is currently taught by Taishang Laojun."

   The monk couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and said, "There are such people in this world?"

"There would never have been." Puxian smiled lightly: "But there are always exceptions to everything. She is the exception, but she doesn't go out often and is not widely known. What does Jin Dan mean to her? It's just a by-product of Taishang Laojun's idle time to pass the time, how much you want depends on your mood."

  …

   At this time, within a distance of less than a hundred miles from this place, a group of monkeys are slowly walking towards here. (To be continued~^~)
