The Monkey King

   "Master, please take a seat." Yun Xiang held her long sleeves and made a "please" gesture.

   Although the whole hall has been added with a familiar flavor, but for some reason, there is an indescribable discomfort in the monkey's heart, to be precise, it is a little awkward.

   nodded silently, and the monkey walked up the steps without saying a word, and did not refuse.

   "Everyone, please take your seats." Yunxiang nodded friendly towards Xuanzang and the others.

   seemed to see something, Yunxiang filled a glass of wine herself, and brought it to the monkey table through the hand of the maid, and said softly: "This is a family banquet, please don't be too cautious."

  Monkey nodded, as an answer.

   After everyone was seated, Rue Xiang clapped her hands lightly, and more than a dozen maids filed in from outside the hall, serving various dishes.

   The drums and music blared in unison, and the entire hall suddenly became alive, and the whole hall was full of birds and birds.

   At this time, the monkey noticed that not only for himself, but also for Xuanzang and others, the meat and vegetables seemed to be deliberately matched according to their respective identities.

   lowered his voice, and the monkey said, "Is this... a bit too much?"

   "What does the great sage mean?"

   "I heard that men are not welcome in the daughter country. Not only were we welcomed, but we were also treated like guests and entertained. Isn't this a bit..."

   Yunxiang covered her lips, smiled faintly, and said, "If it were any other man, the daughter country would not welcome you. But you are the great sage. Right..."

   glanced at the maid beside him. Yunxiang looked at the dancer in the center of the hall in front of her and said, "The Great Sage is kind to his servants, so naturally it cannot be generalized."

   "Well? What do you say?"

   Holding up the wine glass, Yunxiang said in a low voice, "The Great Sage saved the entire demon clan, and Yunxiang is also a demon. Isn't this a kindness?"

   After saying that, she turned to her courtier and said loudly: "Respect our guests from afar!"

   The civil and military officials of the daughter country who had not yet figured out the situation under the stairs saw this, and they quickly picked up their wine glasses one by one: "Respect for the guests from afar!"

   Xuanzang and others also politely raised their wine glasses.

  Monkey also raised his wine glass symbolically in return, but he just lowered his head and took a sip, and said softly: "I know whether I have merit or demerit towards the demon clan, I know it myself."

   Hearing the words, the smile on Yun Xiang's face suddenly stopped.

   Although there are many banquets in the daughter country. liquor. But not a regular thing. All the courtiers participated in this banquet purely due to the Queen's request and out of politeness. Xuanzang and others were even more so. Naturally, under the high-pitched music, the atmosphere was always low.

   The left and right sides are just polite nods and smiles when the eyes meet occasionally.

  Monkey had such a gloomy expression from beginning to end, even watching the specially arranged dance. Also looked absent-minded.

   This reminded Rue of the celebration of the return of the monkeys held in Huaguo Mountain many years ago. During the first half of the celebration, the monkeys were so dumb and absent-minded. It wasn't until he left the scene and watched the fireworks with Yang Chan. After that, the whole person was completely different. No one knows what the Three Virgins said to the monkeys in the attic.

   At that time, Yunxiang could only look at the great sage he had always admired from a distance, and could not even take a step closer. Who would have thought. One day I will be able to sit right beside him.

   At the banquet, the positions of the Three Holy Virgins and the Great Sage seem to be the same as they are now, right?

  No, it should be closer, at that time, they shared a table.

   But... this is all in the past, in the past.

   took a deep breath, and Rueka withdrew her mind a little, straightening her waist. He looked at the monkey again.

  This banquet was actually unsuccessful at all. Maybe it's because she is too familiar with each other, and the monkeys and the others have a more dull relationship.

  The monkey hardly touched the dishes on the table, and the wine only took a few polite sips. Xuanzang's cup is full of water. The canopy sat cross-legged with his knees supported, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth. As for the black bear spirit and the roller blind, they were all indifferent.

The    music reached its climax, and a red-clothed dancer was waving her water sleeves in the center of the hall.

Rue Xiang raised the wine glass and bowed to the monkey again: "The Great Sage said that he knew his merits and demerits, and it is inconvenient for Rue to evaluate. However, the kindness of the Great Sage to Rue Xiang is real. If there is no Huaguo Mountain, Rue Xiang may have already lost her life and death, and she will not have the opportunity to read, let alone become the king of this daughter's country. Therefore, this cup, Rui Xiang must respect the great saint."

  Monkey looked like he had just woken up from a dream, turned his face to look at Rue Xiang, raised his wine glass in a symbolic way, and said, "When did you arrive at Huaguo Mountain?"

   "Yunxiang was born in Nanzhanbuzhou, and arrived at Huaguo Mountain in the twenty-fifth year after the Great Sage was enshrined by the heavenly court, Bi Mawen."

   "At that time, Yang Chan was taking care of Huaguo Mountain. You should thank her, not me."

   bowed her head and took a sip, and Yunxiang gently placed the wine glass on the low table: "The Great Sage would like to thank the three virgins, of course, it is also indispensable... If there is a chance to see the three virgins again in this life, Yunxiang will thank the three virgins herself."

   "There will be a chance, in a few years. In a few years, I will pick her up."

   "Yes." Yun Xiang nodded silently.

  …

   Twenty miles away, boundless, but calm as a mirror, on the shore of the mother lake, a temple that covers an area of ​​100 acres and looks like a Buddhist temple stands quietly.

   There is a seven-story tower in the middle of the temple.

Different from ordinary Buddhist temples, this pagoda-shaped building has a very thick base, square, and the bottom two floors are ten feet wide. When it reaches the third floor, it suddenly shrinks to only three feet in size. up, it will no longer shrink, just like a pillar.

  Three women will come from the east and hurriedly land in front of the temple. As soon as they landed, the guarding female soldiers greeted them one by one.

  …

   After a while, a female official hurried into the hall where the banquet was still being held, carefully avoiding the gaze of the officials in the hall and walked to the corner. He secretly waved to the little maid who was waiting beside the queen.

  The little maid closed her eyes, looked left and right for a moment, bowed and stepped back two steps and quickly turned to the screen, and soon came to the side of the female official.

  Renka glanced at the two who were whispering, intentionally or not.

   After a while, the maid returned to Yunxiang again. Take the opportunity to drink wine. She whispered something to Ruta.

  I saw Yunxiang's eyes widen slightly, and she looked at the prime minister in green sitting on the second seat to her right with a little panic.

   At this time, the green-robed prime minister watched the dance with a straight face, smiling and applauding from time to time.

  The little maid said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the priest is trying to hold them back. They won't be able to enter the mausoleum for a while."

   Yunxiang nodded slightly and looked towards the monkey. It happened that the four eyes met.

   Rue Xiang quickly looked back. After hesitating for a while, she said in a low voice, "Yunxiang is in a hurry, I'm afraid I'll be excused for a while, please don't take offense to the Great Sage."

   "Don't be afraid, we don't need anyone to accompany us." Monkey plucked a melon seed, threw it into his mouth, and smiled at Yunxiang.

   Yunxiang also quickly responded with a smile. Nodding, he got up, dragged his skirt and left. The maid hurried out.

   "Where is she going?" Canopy's voice sounded in the monkey's mind.

"do not know."

   "Have you asked her about her practice?"

   "Not yet, wait for her to come back and ask."

  The green-robed prime minister raised the wine glass to the monkey from a distance, and the monkey responded from a distance.

  …

   At this time, Yunxiang had already rushed outside the palace gate with her long whip.

  sh The few female soldiers guarding the palace gate were taken aback by Her Majesty's anxious look.

   Throwing a piece of jade slip into the hand of the maid, Yun Xiang whispered: "Remember not to neglect the Great Sage and the others."

   After saying that, she turned around and flew into the air, roaring towards the west at an extremely fast speed.

  …

  In the temple, outside the stone gate with the tower closed. A group of female soldiers are forming a human wall to block in front of several female generals.

   "Get out of the way!" The red-robed female general at the head had already pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword.

  The female soldiers stood still.

   Standing in front of the female soldiers, the priestess wearing a gray robe whispered: "The maiden is sleeping, how can you allow idle people to trespass?"

   "Niangniang told me that if there is a real emergency, you can report it immediately."

   "How does this seat know what you want to report, is it really urgent?"

   "Your Majesty allowed outside men to enter the palace without the permission of the Empress. It broke the rules set by the Empress. Isn't this a matter of urgency?"

   "As you just said, the intruder is powerful, maybe, Your Majesty is just a vain and a serpent?"

   "Since you also know that the opponent is strong, then you should report to the Empress!"

"That's a bad statement." The priestess raised her head slightly, and said, "I feel that since Your Majesty has not ordered to report to the Empress, it means that Your Majesty thinks there is no need to report it to the Empress. Since Your Majesty thinks that we can solve it by ourselves, why bother? I'm bothering the madam, disturbing the maiden's dormancy?"

"you!"

"Not allowing men to enter the borders of my daughter's country is a rule set by the goddess. The subjects of my daughter's country have been serving the goddess for generations. This is also the rule set by the goddess. If it is because of such a trivial matter that I can solve, I will disturb the goddess. Dormancy, wouldn't that be the other way around and become a concubine to serve us?"

   Hearing the words, the red-robed female general was furious and shouted, "If the mother-in-law broke the rules of the daughter's country because of her old relationship outside the daughter's country, what can I say?"

   Looking at the female general who was already furious, the priestess said slowly: "Your Majesty, it is the Queen appointed by the Empress. Since the Empress made this decision, it means that the Empress can trust Your Majesty. Do you want to question the Empress's decision?"

   In the end, it is civil servants versus military generals.

   For a while, the red-robed female general opened her mouth wide, unable to speak, and took a step back.

   The two colleagues behind him quickly grabbed him.

   "What should I do? They don't recognize the Prime Minister's warrant."

   "Why don't we go back first and discuss with the Prime Minister."

"No, there's no time. They must have already informed His Majesty. If we just go back like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to come again." After a slight pause, the red-robed general asked in a low voice, "You dare to go to the mausoleum with me. ?"

   Having said that, the red-robed female general stared at her two colleagues with wide eyes.

   After a while, the two nodded hesitantly.

   Almost at the same time, the three of them held their hands on the hilt of the sword, and the female soldiers on the opposite side, including the priestess, were all taken aback.

  This mausoleum is located in the center of the daughter country, at the very center of the layered defense circle of the daughter country. On weekdays, it is the most sacred existence in the hearts of the subjects of the daughter country. If the enemy can come here, then it is almost certain that all the defense lines have been broken through, and the daughter country has no troops to use. It is for this reason that the guards in front of the mausoleum are only symbolic, and more often act as a guard of honor. Really want to fight, where is the opponent of these three female generals?

   "What are you doing?" the priestess exclaimed.

  The three female generals said nothing, holding the hilt of their swords in their hands and stepping forward, forcing the female soldiers to step back.

   "Stop! Are you going to rebel?"

   At this moment, only a loud bang was heard, and a figure fell from the sky like a thunderbolt, instantly hitting the middle of the two sides.

   Everyone was stunned.

   The smoke and dust dissipated, and everyone saw Yunxiang wearing an orange-yellow dress standing firmly in the center, the long whip coiled around her left hand like a poisonous snake, trembling slightly under the surging spiritual power.

   A pair of widened almond eyes revealed a strong hostility.

   If Ruexiang was standing next to the monkey, she was a complete little woman, but now, she is a complete queen.

   "See Your Majesty!" The priest and all the female soldiers knelt down. The three female generals were still standing motionless, looking at Yunxiang, the terrified expressions on their faces still lingering. The hand holding the hilt clenched slightly.

   "Go back with me immediately, otherwise, you will suffer."

   After saying that, Yunxiang flicked the war whip in her hand, and with a loud noise, like a galloping lightning bolt, a deep trace was directly scratched on the hard stone slab beside her, causing a burst of smoke.

   The whole ground trembled slightly.

   At this moment, even the priest who stood firmly on the Queen's side was a little dumbfounded.

  The king of the daughter country in the past dynasties, with his duty to serve the goddess Nuwa. This is the Nuwa Temple. As the Queen of Nuwa's mother, Rue Xiang, is she going to do it here?

   This kind of thing has never happened in the thousands of years since the establishment of the daughter country.

  What reason can I force the King of the Daughter Kingdom to fight with a few subordinates here?

   Knowing that their strength is not enough, at this time, the three female generals reluctantly glanced at the tightly closed Shimen behind Yunxiang, and knelt down on their knees.

   "The last will obey!"

   Seeing that they had given in, Rue Xiang was a little relieved.

   "Okay, let's go back. Go back with this king, and this matter can be forgotten."

   Having said that, Rue Xiang was about to start walking. At this moment, I heard a roar, and behind that, the huge stone gate slowly opened... (To be continued~^~)
