The Monkey King

The Tianhe Navy is definitely an alternative in the Heavenly Court. They are brave and adept at fighting, fearless of death, and have outstanding military exploits, but they are therefore incompatible with this huge bureaucracy.

In many cases, the Tianhe navy has become the target of exclusion.

If the outside is squeezed out, the inside will naturally be united. The higher-ups dare not say that, but at the grassroots level, the Tianhe navy is more protective than anyone else.

Before setting off, several veterans expressed their opinions directly, telling Zheng Xin to go ahead boldly. As long as the conditions were not too harsh, they would find a way to achieve it. Even if he needs to hide it from Tian Heng, he will not hesitate.

With the generals' instructions, Zheng Xin came to the mouth of Youquan Valley.

In order to express his sincerity, he took off his armor and put on a scribe's robe. When he walked to the mouth of the valley, he took out his sword from his waist and threw it to the ground. He bowed and shouted: "General Tianheng's subordinate Zheng Zheng Xin came to visit and asked to see the Great Immortal Youquan."

…

In the room where candles were rarely lit, Youquanzi and Qingyunzi were concentrating on playing chess, while Dantongzi on the futon beside him was dozing off with his sword in his arms.

Just as he picked up a white seed and was about to drop it, Youquanzi suddenly raised his head and his ears twitched slightly.

"What's wrong, senior brother?" Qingyunzi asked.

"They sent someone over."

"Ah? Send someone here?" Dan Tongzi, who was half asleep, suddenly woke up: "Are you going to start a fight?"

The two of them looked at the somewhat flustered Dan Tongzi and smiled helplessly. Youquanzi said softly, "I'll go meet him."

…

At the mouth of the valley, huge facial masks gathered again in the strong wind.

Seeing the masks gathered together, General Zheng Xin quickly raised his hands and said: "Tianhe Navy, General Zheng Xin under General Tianheng pays homage to the Great Immortal Youquan."

"If you have anything to say, tell me." Youquanzi said calmly.

"Zheng Xin would like to ask Immortal Youquan to release the three sergeants of our army who you have detained."

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Zheng Xin cupped his hands and said, "General Tianheng was reckless earlier and it was wrong to send people to sneak into Youquan Valley. Zheng Xin is here to apologize to Immortal Youquan on behalf of General Tianheng."

After that, he bowed deeply.

Qingyunzi, who was standing in the hall, stroked his beard and said, "This looks like a talker."

After a moment of silence, Youquanzi asked: "But your general asked you to apologize?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Xin bowed his head and said loudly: "No, the general allowed me to visit Immortal Youquan, but he did not mention the apology."

"Huh, since he won't apologize, what's the use of saying all this? You'd better go back."

After saying that, he was about to disperse the spell. Zheng Xin quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "The great immortal stays here. Zheng Xin has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Say it."

Raising his head, Zheng Xin said: "General Tianheng has an upright temperament, but what he said that day is true. Immortal Youquan must know this."

Youquanzi didn't answer, just listened silently.

"It's not good for you and me if things drag on like this. According to General Tianheng's personality, it's difficult for him to apologize. It's better for Youquan Immortal to change the conditions for Zheng Xin to take charge, and just sell Tianhe navy to save face. We both have a step down, so we can settle this matter as soon as possible without disturbing Yunyu Tiangang and Xieyue Sanxing Cave, how about that?"

"How can you, a mere general, negotiate terms?"

"The words of Immortal Youquan are wrong. I am indeed just a general, but I am not the only one who urgently needs to be settled at this time. How can you know that you can't afford to talk about it before we have talked about it?"

"Oh?" Youquanzi laughed: "In that case, there is really something you can give me, and I also want it. However, I need you to turn a blind eye. "

…

Early the next morning, the two heavenly generals sent a letter as an explanation for sneaking into the Valley of the Spring Valley. They also expressed their apology verbally but did not make a true apology.

Youquanzi also replied with a letter expressing his understanding, and then he happily let him go.

Tian Heng was puzzled by this, but the generals around him seemed to think this was normal.

This made him even more confused.

The heavenly general and the two heavenly soldiers were still shaking when they were brought onto the battleship. It was obvious that they had been tortured by Youquanzi during the past few days in detention.

Now that the people were coming back, the retreat order from Yunyu Tiangang was also issued. Before noon, the 10,000 heavenly soldiers surrounding the valley disappeared.

Both Yang Chan and Yue Chao were puzzled that Youquanzi let go of the Tianhe navy so easily. In contrast, those monsters didn't think so much. It was a great joy for them that the Tianhe navy could retreat.

After all this trouble, the following days seemed particularly comfortable. However, the sky patrol generals who appear from time to time outside the valley still remind them that their crisis has not been completely resolved.

From a certain perspective, these monsters have completely turned into caged birds here.

A full month after entering the Youquan Valley, the monkey's injuries had completely healed and he began to devote himself to the practice of various spells. Three months later, those monsters finally recovered with the help of Yue Chao and Yang Chan.

However, this group of monsters were not happy about their recovery. On the contrary, they were extremely depressed.

In a late-night meeting, the monsters debated fiercely about whether to leave Youquan Valley and settle in Huaguo Mountain. Finally reaching an opinion is free choice.

If you are willing to go to Huaguo Mountain, go to Huaguo Mountain. If you are willing to stay in Youquan Valley, let Monkey tell Youquanzi to stay.

It was obvious that they were particularly fond of this comfortable new home.

But when it came time to sign up, they all chose to go to Huaguo Mountain without exception.

Probably because he has developed a certain dependence on the monkey during this period of time. They generally believed that although it was risky to go to Huaguo Mountain, it would be a more correct decision than the Youquan Valley, which was already being targeted by the heavenly army.

When the last monster took off the bandage, the monkey came to Youquanzi's mansion as planned. When we fell into the courtyard, the setting sun was shining slantingly. Youquanzi was playing the piano in the pavilion, and his disciple Xiuyun stood beside him.

Xiuyun quietly made a mute gesture to the monkey and stopped moving. The monkey wisely sat aside and listened.

You Quanzi is a music idiot. Over the course of hundreds of years, his obsession with music has reached an unimaginable level. The tunes that he can sing at will with a snap of his fingers are enough to make people obsessed.

It is a pity that the development of music in this era is very limited. Otherwise, after hundreds of years of accumulation, what monkeys hear today would be a different scene.

Unlike last time, Youquanzi just listened for a while and then finished.

"Wukong pays homage to Senior Brother Youquan."

"Coming?" Youquanzi stretched out his hand, and the guzheng on the table immediately disappeared without a trace and was replaced with a tea tray.

There is also a lit charcoal stove on the side, and the water in the pot on the stove is constantly boiling.

"Yes." Monkey nodded silently, walked to the table and sat on the stone bench: "Thank you for taking care of me during this period."

"That's right, my fellow disciples. The road to becoming an immortal is long. If fellow disciples can't support each other, wouldn't it be too lonely?"

"After all, the master also treats me..."

"That's his business. He is a master. If he speaks, we as apprentices should naturally respect him. But he didn't speak, so we just do what we have to do. What, do you want to say goodbye to me?"

"Well. I've been bothering my senior brother for three months, and it's almost time to leave. Also, I want to ask the previous question clearly."

"Resurrection?" Youquanzi pushed a cup of hot tea in front of the monkey.

"Yes, how to resurrect."

Youquanzi let out a long sigh and said: "Depending on your friend's situation, first of all, you have to determine what state her soul is in. Is it that she has been resurrected, has been reincarnated, or is still in the state of soul hanging in the underworld? somewhere."

"How to be sure?"

"It's simple, just look through the book of life and death. If it is resurrection or reincarnation, there will be a mark on the book of life and death. If it is still in the soul state, there will be no mark. Then Taishang Laojun has been looking through the book of life and death in the underworld for more than half a year. Fang left, which shows that he already knew through some means that she was not in a soul state."

"Senior brother is saying... Que'er has been resurrected or reincarnated?" Monkey was surprised.

"Exactly." Youquanzi nodded silently, stroking his long beard.

After thinking blankly for a long time, the monkey blinked and asked, "Tai Shang Laojun has been doing it for more than half a year, so wouldn't it be even longer for me to do it?"

No matter what his cultivation level is, he is not as good at flipping through the Book of Life and Death as Taishang Laojun is. After all, Taishang Laojun is an upright person, but what about him?

Is it possible that anyone can read the Book of Life and Death? The longer you stay in the underworld, the easier it is for things to go wrong. As much as half a year...

A smile slowly bloomed on Youquanzi's face.

The monkey was puzzled at first, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he said: "Just check the last part that Taishang Laojun read!"

"Clever!" Youquanzi laughed: "The Book of Life and Death cannot be changed. We only need to know which volume Taishang Laojun read last, and then we can find the answers we need. Of course, you must have Be mentally prepared, even if you find the answer, there may not be any results. After all, her soul was lured away. The other party naturally knew that Taishang Laojun could find out through this method, but he still dared to lure her away. It can be seen that, There is a universe inside this."

"I understand." Monkey nodded silently: "Then what? Needless to say, she has been resurrected. If she is reincarnated...how can she regain her memory?"

"You need to find Granny Meng."

"Mengpo soup?"

"Yes." Youquanzi nodded and said: "All creatures in the world need to drink a bowl of Mengpo soup before reincarnation. Drinking Mengpo soup is said to forget this life, but in fact it is just pulling away the soul of the earth and forgetting the memories of this life. It remains with the soul. You only need to find Po Meng to retrieve the earth soul to restore your memory. It’s just..."

"Just how?"

"It's just that people have three souls and seven souls, and all things have three souls and seven souls, and they can only have three souls and seven souls. If you put the earth soul of the past life into this life, then the earth soul of this life will disperse. Although you can restore your memory , to achieve resurrection in the true sense, this life will be completely erased."

Hearing this, Monkey's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Not to mention that he doesn't have the ability now, but he does have the ability. Can he be able to find the bird in this life?

"Have you thought about how to deal with this problem?" Youquanzi asked.

Blinking his eyes and thinking silently for a long time, the monkey said: "If she has not cultivated immortality in this life, I will accompany her until the end of her life, and then inject the earth soul into her. At that time, I will use the elixir to rejuvenate her."

Youquanzi took a sip of tea, nodded and said: "This is also a way, so that both lives will be equal."
