The Monkey King

  After the rest, Xuanzang went to the main hall of Wuzhuang Temple again at the invitation of Zhen Yuanzi that night to explain the way of Purdue to him.

   This time, the monkey still followed in person, not daring to be careless.

   Zhen Yuanzi was still as polite as before, and Xuanzang was still answering questions and explaining it with all his might.

   Time just passed by little by little.

As soon as the hour came, the monkey pulled Xuanzang back to the attic on the pretext of getting up early the next day.

   This time, Zhen Yuanzi didn't do much to keep him, everything seemed to be as Zhen Yuanzi said, he had completely given up the idea of ​​stopping westward travel.

  Although this ending is in the interest of the monkey, what kind of words can change Zhen Yuanzi's mind so quickly?

   This point, the monkey never understands.

   said goodbye to Zhen Yuanzi, and returned to the residence to settle Xuanzang. As soon as the monkey stepped out of the door of the attic, he found that Tianpeng, who did not know where to go during the day, had returned. Under the moonlight, he was sitting in the elegant courtyard maintaining a human appearance, sipping tea leisurely, looking very comfortable.

   "Hey, where did you go during the day?" The monkey walked slowly and leisurely with a golden hoop, and sat on the stone chair opposite the canopy.

   "I'm so bored, just go out and walk around." Tian Peng lowered his head, made a cup of tea for the monkey, and pushed it over.

   "You're bored too? I thought you were born to be so bored." He reached for the teacup, and the monkey took a sip and put it down again.

   Immediately afterwards, the two of them sat quietly.

  The bright moon slowly walks through the clouds. The breeze blew slowly. caressing the leaves.

  The entire Wuzhuang Temple was so quiet that only a few occasional crickets were left.

  Canopy lowered his head and stared at a piece of tea floating in the cup, stared at the rising faint smoke, and sighed from time to time.

  The monkey wandered his eyes, looked up at the full moon in the sky for a while, and looked down at the ants climbing on the dead leaves beside him. After a while, I stared at the canopy again, and the sitting posture changed.

  From a certain point of view, these two people who originally belonged to different camps actually have a lot in common. For example, they are very stubborn. If they are determined, they are determined. Eight horses can't pull them back, and they don't care about anything. For example, try to be worthy of your heart. For example, they don't like to be busy. For example, they like to be alone...

   But there are so many differences between them.

   also likes to be alone, the canopy is really just standing there, motionless, maybe thinking about something, maybe it’s just empty brains. Along the way, this situation has long been seen by everyone.

  Monkey's so-called "staying quietly" means doing something by himself quietly. Even the days of being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain. He would also go blind by himself, tossing the weeds and sand around him, and if he really did nothing, he would be bored again, just like he is now.

   After a while, the canopy sighed lightly again, and the monkey swayed and asked, "Why are you sighing?"

  Tian Peng raised his eyelids and glanced at the monkey lightly, and said, "It's nothing, it doesn't affect things at all."

   "What's there to sigh about if it doesn't affect things? There is a saying in my hometown, sigh. It's been three years of decline."

   "The customs of your hometown? Are there customs in places like Huaguoshan?"

"It's not Huaguo Mountain, it's another place." After a slight pause, the monkey said leisurely: "What's wrong with Huaguo Mountain? Huaguo Mountain is very good. Under my leadership, Huaguo Mountain is second to none in the Three Realms. The demon kingdom is not inferior to the heavenly court. The scene from that day... hehe, unfortunately you didn't have a chance to see it."

  Tianpeng looked at the monkey and laughed, and took a deep breath. Rubbing the teacup at hand, he sighed, "But it was also ruined by your hands."

  Monkey's eyes squinted, and he immediately said ironically: "You are not much better, the Tianhe Water Army is growing in your hands, isn't it also ruined in your hands?"

  Suddenly, both of them were silent.

   After a long time, Tianpeng sighed softly: "It's Xiao He who succeeds, and it's Xiao He who loses. It seems that we are both Xiao He."

  The two looked at each other and both laughed.

In the attic beside   , Xuanzang quietly looked down at the two people in the courtyard.

   After the faint laughter, the monkey asked softly: "Thank you yesterday, it seems that I brought you, it really is right. I will say the same thing, I guess that guy Zhen Yuanzi will ignore me."

   "There's nothing to be thankful for, it's all grasshoppers on a rope. Protecting Master Xuanzang from going west is what I promised."

   "What did you say to Zhen Yuanzi?"

   "You will know later, but you won't understand it now."

"Then where have you been today? It won't be Heavenly Court that found you here, hurry up and send someone to win you over? Don't you become Heavenly Court's inner responder, what I hate most in my life is a traitor. Once you become a traitor, There is no room for negotiation.”

  Tianpeng raised his head and smiled faintly, looked at the monkey and said, "Do you think I am that kind of person?"

   frowned and thought for a while, the monkey shook his head and said, "It should be... not."

   "Isn't that possible? If you want to play this kind of trick, you have already done it, so you won't have to wait until this day."

   "I still believe you on this point, even though you are still so annoying with a straight face."

   At this time, in the sky dozens of miles away, Qing Xin was holding a palm-sized Bagua mirror and looking at it carefully. Beside her, there were two boys, one gold and one silver, suspended.

  The scene in the Eight Trigrams Mirror is the monkey and the canopy talking about the sky in the courtyard.

   After a long time, she asked softly, "Is this person Marshal Tianpeng?"

"It should be right." The boy wearing a golden Taoist robe nodded heavily and said: "The news was secretly obtained from the Tian Xunfu, so there should be no mistake. I have met this person twice before. His face and previous life have not changed. He used to be the Grand Marshal of the Tianhe Water Army, and later he was in charge of all the troops and horses in the heavenly court. Before the Nantianmen was breached, he was sentenced to the Immortal Well by the former Jade Emperor for collaborating with the enemy, because of some mistakes and omissions Falling into the realm of beasts and becoming a pig demon."

   "Even this canopy was mixed with him?" He put down the gossip mirror in his hand. Qing Xin's brows could not help but frowned.

On the other side, the boy wearing a silver robe whispered: "At that time, he was sentenced to exile from Xianjing, and I even called him a grievance. Now that he and the demon monkey have really come together, think about what the former Jade Emperor said at the time. He is collaborating with the enemy, maybe it's true. But..."

After a short pause, the silver-robed boy looked at Qingxin and said with some trepidation: "In this way, things will be even more difficult to handle. The demon monkey's own military force is second to none in the world, and this canopy, which is well-versed in military strategy, is second to none. , how can we get revenge? Or... Junior Sister, let's forget it?"

   After saying that, the two boys looked at Qing Xin cautiously.

   "What?" Qing Xin's face darkened and he said coldly, "Are you afraid?"

  The two boys shrank their necks slightly and swallowed dryly. dare not speak.

  Look at the gossip mirror in his hand. Qing Xin pursed her lips and said: "Since they are both so powerful, why did they both fall into place in the first place? We are not in a hurry, as long as we keep watching, sooner or later, there will be a chance to take action. We must teach this arrogant monkey a lesson. If you are willing to help, if you don't want to...you have to help!"

  …

   The next morning. The monkey group packed up early and went to bid farewell to Zhen Yuanzi.

   Before leaving, Zhen Yuanzi once again gave each person a ginseng fruit as a gift. This time, Zhen Yuanzi specially told everyone the correct way to eat ginseng fruit to show his sincerity.

   said goodbye to Zhen Yuanzi, and the group continued on the road to the west.

   As soon as he set off, the little white dragon changed his usual state of shrinking and falling behind, leading his horse to the front, looking elated. It's like changing people.

  It doesn't matter if he walks forward by himself, the problem is that Xuanzang is still sitting right away.

   Several times, the monkey had to specifically tell him to slow down. Taking the object of protection to open the way is simply absurd.

   After two days in a row, the little white dragon was still like this, and the trend was getting worse and worse. The monkey couldn't help but be suspicious, and pulled him aside to ask bewilderingly. After this question, I realized that his home was coming.

   To be precise, he and Bai Su's home is coming.

   said this, and the monkey was relieved.

  Thinking that when Xiaobailong joined this westbound team, although most of the reason was because of the coercion of monkeys, on the other hand, it was also because Xiaobailong wanted to find Pantao for his daughter-in-law to prolong her life.

   He is about to see his daughter-in-law, can he be unhappy?

   In the next few days, the more you go, the less people there are, and the more dangerous you go the more you go. Originally, it was possible to occasionally meet one or two villages or see a Taoist temple where one or two monks lived together. Later, it was simply deserted, and even half a monster was not seen.

   But this way, Little White Dragon is getting more and more familiar, and his mood is getting better and better.

   Fifteen days after leaving Wuzhuangguan, Xiaobailong's house was close at hand. Along the way, Xiaobailong in a good mood began to talk about his various pasts with Bai Su.

"That girl, she used to be very well-behaved, she listened to me in everything. I told her to go east and dare not go west, but as soon as they got married, that person changed. When she gets fierce, it's really... hey, a little sesame and mung bean matter can be easily changed. Drive me out and say that if I have a seed, I will go back to the West Sea and never see her again. What do you mean by that?"

"Actually, I know that she was talking about angry words. At first, I quarreled with her, but later I found out that I couldn't win the argument at all. This woman, it's illogical to get angry, nor Reasonable. Over time, I learned how to deal with her."

   "Every time she gets mad, I get mad too, then pack my bags and leave without looking back."

  Monkey raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what?"

   "Then?" Little White Dragon said mysteriously: "Guess."

  Monkey rolled his eyes and said, "I love to talk or not."

   After saying that, speed up and move forward.

After leaving, Xiao Bailong was in a hurry, pulled the white horse and rushed up quickly, saying: "Don't go, I said, I said. Then, find a place for a walk, take your luggage to which friend Drink tea in the cave or Taoist temple, play chess or something, wait for an hour or two, and then stroll back."

"Woman, that's the way it is. It's useless for you to say anything to her when you're angry. You don't need to say anything when you're angry, and you'll turn the page. If there is a fight, I'll continue to stay at home, hehe. , I might still be arguing a few hours later."

   "How often does she get angry?" the monkey asked softly.

   "How long... um. Three days and two anger. If you don't get angry for five days, then there is a problem."

   "What's the reason for the anger?" the monkey asked again.

"There are various reasons for getting angry. For example, when she went out, she told me to fix the leaky roof, but when she came back, she found that I had forgotten. For example, I took something and forgot to return it to its original position, which made the house in a mess. Packing up...it's probably just a matter of these sesame mung beans."

  Monkey looked up and thought. He asked in a low voice, "Don't you often run around with your luggage on your back?"

"That is."

   "Don't your friends find it strange?"

Xiao Bailong was stunned for a moment, scratched his face and said, "I would say it at first, but then I don't think it's weird. Seeing me grabbing my bag and sipping tea, I understand what's going on, so I don't even need to ask. Ask more."

   "Your life is really sad enough."

   "Hey, you don't understand. That's how everyday happiness comes. We got married. Don't quarrel, do you two stare at each other in a daze every day?"

   "This is the first time I've heard people say that they will quarrel when they become pro."

   "This is the experience that we have been together for more than 600 years. I have gained such experience. Now I pass on such a valuable experience to you for free. You still don't know the goods?"

  Monkey rolled his eyes, but secretly remembered Xiao Bailong's absurdity to the bottom of his heart.

   Yang Chan got angry, must be more terrifying than Bai Su, right? kindness. I don't know if this trick will work or not?

Seeing that the monkey was no longer talking, Xiao Bailong continued: "When two people are together, there will always be a lot of friction. If you really want to quarrel, there will be endless fights every day. Someone has to give in, right? This is my trick. It's good to have a clean ear and maintain the harmony of husband and wife? It's just a bit embarrassing to walk around with a package on your back. But we are men, and we can bend and stretch, so we can't swallow the pain. ?"

"Xing Xing Xing, another day let the Jade Emperor give you a model husband award." Monkey couldn't help laughing, and said, "This time I haven't gone back for so long, and I didn't hear you say that I want to go back, it's not just a quarrel. Running away from home?"

After saying this, Xiao Bailong couldn't help frowning, crossed his hands and said, "Almost. But this time it's a little serious. I smashed her beloved mirror, and I thought she would run away from home for about half a month. , it's better to bring some gifts back to finish... That's why I thought of catching Master Xuanzang as a gift, and then I met you, the Great Sage. In the end, after a toss... it's been a year."

   "How did you break her mirror?"

   "I'm not careful when looking in the mirror."

   "You big man, why are you looking in the mirror?"

  Xiao Bailong pointed at himself and said seriously: "I'm such a graceful son, look in the mirror, why do you still need to ask?"

  Monkey was speechless.

   Want to come to the world of the third prince of the West Sea, it is really not what he can understand.

   After a while, everyone came to a steep mountain.

   There is clear water at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by trees and trees, and the fragrance of birds and flowers makes it feel like a paradise.

   It is like a small courtyard on a mountain with a pen stand erect, but there are no winding mountain roads around.

   looked up at the courtyard, and the monkey asked softly, "Is that your home?"

"Yes." Xiao Bailong said cheerfully: "After all, both of us are famous people on the most wanted list in Heaven. Because we were afraid of being hunted by Heaven, we chose a remote place without even a mountain road. Fortunately, we also use it. If you don’t follow the mountain road, you can just fly up.”

   said, Xiao Bailong turned around and bowed his hands to everyone: "I'm going to ask my wife to come out to greet everyone."

   turned around, and the little white dragon soared into the air and flew towards the courtyard.

   The black bear spirit unloaded the burden on his shoulders, Xuanzang also dismounted, and the group waited quietly in place.

   For a long time, the little white dragon did not come back.

   The black bear spirit asked in a low voice, "Will he abscond?"

"No." The monkey winked at the luggage and said, "His Panda is still here. If he wants to escape, he has to take Panda with him. Besides, how big is the Three Realms? Where can he escape? "

   The group waited silently again.

After about another incense stick, suddenly, the little white dragon rushed out of the courtyard, jumped into the air, and landed in front of everyone, and shouted in a panic, "No, my wife is missing. It's over!" (To be continued~^~)
