The Monkey King

Squinting his eyes slightly, the monkey could feel the weak spiritual power on this grass. It was pure spiritual power, not evil spirit.

This made him slightly surprised.

This should be a grass demon that is about to transform, but why does it feel spiritual power instead of demonic energy?

Plant monsters are very rare. The old tree monster probably needs thousands of years to complete its transformation. This is an extremely long process.

The lifespan of grass is countless times shorter than that of trees, but the time required to transform is almost the same. This leads to the fact that most of the plant monsters seen are tree monsters. As for grass monsters, I have never seen them very often. .

"How long have you been here? You know I've been here before, so you've been here for at least ten years?"

"It's been more than ten years, it's been more than ten years..." The grass swayed its green leaves slightly: "Has it been so long? Yes, you were still very young when you came in last time."

He reached out and touched the wet stone surface. Using the dim light coming from outside the waterfall, the monkey glanced around: "You are the only grass here? How did you get here? Even at noon, there is only a dim light. If grass seeds fall here, they won’t sprout, right?”

The leaves of the grass drooped slightly as if she was thinking. After a long time, she replied: "I don't know, I seem to have been here all the time."

"What did you mean when you just told me not to go in? What's in there?"

"I have no idea."

"You didn't know but you told me not to go in?"

Xiaocao was silent.

"Has anyone lived in it?"

"I have lived there. There used to be an immortal who lived there. He would often talk to me, but then he went out and never came back. It is wrong to break into other people's mansions."

"How long ago was this?" After the monkey asked, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. The grass demon obviously had no idea about time.

The grass slowly dropped its leaves.

Turning around, the monkey walked step by step deeper into the darkness.

"Don't go in." The grass demon shouted, shaking the leaves.

The monkey turned around and pointed to the ground and said: "I am the king of Huaguo Mountain now. King, do you understand? This place is mine. I can go wherever I want."

Ignoring Xiaocao's shouting, he walked deeper step by step, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again, his pupils emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Everything in the darkness was visible.

The qualifications of this body are really not limited.

In the process of cultivating immortals, many spells have limitations of cultivation level. If you cannot reach the corresponding cultivation level, learning them will be in vain. For example, the seventy-two changes, such as the somersault cloud. But it doesn't mean that you can learn the corresponding techniques once you reach the corresponding level of cultivation.

There is a qualification issue here, the most obvious one is the general. The heavenly army in heaven is no better than the monsters on the ground. It is not that difficult to obtain such things as magic, but it is not so easy to learn it.

This is also the reason why many human beings give priority to the path of enlightenment. The traveler said that if the qualifications are not good, it is really not good. The time required to make up for the elixir is an astronomical number. The Enlightenment said that even if you can't learn magic, you can still achieve the same effect through various magic circles and runes.

Monkey's body is obviously one of the top aptitudes, and he was able to get started with the Seventy-Two Transformations in two months. Nowadays, he is very familiar with various spells, but he is limited by his own cultivation and is still unable to truly master the seventy-two transformations.

But it won’t be long, just another year. As long as one year is enough, after one year you should be able to step into the realm of transformation into gods. There are no restrictions on the further spells unless you reach Taiyi Golden Immortal or above.

Along the way, within a short distance of more than ten feet, he had discovered three powerful defensive formations. However, these three formations had almost exhausted their spiritual power due to their age, and they were destroyed with just a few moves.

This made him feel lucky. If the self who had just come to this world had truly believed in the "Journey to the West" and rushed in, he might not have been able to get out.

But having said that, if I had thought about going inside, I would probably have been stopped by the grass demon.

As he walked inside, the cave gradually became wider. At the end of the tunnel, he saw a stone bridge with a rushing stream. On the opposite side of the bridge, there was a huge space. In the distance, he could see two rows of decayed brazier racks. Traces of swords and axes can be seen on the ground, with a throne in the middle and various branch caves surrounding it.

Dark and wet.

This doesn't look like a fairy's residence, but more like a monster's cave.

And it can be concluded that there were many monsters living here at the beginning, and they should be a relatively powerful monster force.

The monkey walked deeper into the cave step by step and searched the entire cave. He actually found a stone tablet that read "Blessed Land of Huaguo Mountain, Water Curtain Cave and Heaven". However, except for this and a dozen simple magic circles that have been abandoned Nothing was found outside.

There wasn't even a trace of the battle.

It seems that the monsters living here have not been wiped out, but have migrated.

Standing blankly in the cave, looking up at the top of the cave, which was three to five feet high, the monkey lowered his head and glanced at the stone tablet.

"The Blessed Land of Huaguo Mountain, the Water Curtain Cave and Heaven...Wait a minute, isn't "Journey to the West" written in regular script? Why did it become official script?" Thinking about it, the monkey couldn't help but sigh: "Forget it, it's wrong today anyway. It's not even the slightest bit. I don't know how many times I would have died if I expected that book to conquer the world. Fortunately, I have learned a lot about what I should know over the years. The road ahead should be better. Walk a lot.”

After wandering around for a few more times, the monkey walked back step by step, carrying the walking stick.

There is really nothing to fish out of this place, but it has to be said that it is a good place. The space is large enough and hidden enough. It can be used as a secret base or something.

When he reached the entrance of the cave, the monkey glanced at the grass again.

"I asked you not to go in, but you still went in." Xiaocao muttered.

She has no eyes or face yet, and the monkey cannot judge her expression, but her tone sounds like she is angry.

Leaning down, the monkey asked: "How do you like it, do you want to go out or stay here?"

Xiaocao remained silent.

"Stay here. You have plenty of spiritual energy. But you are just grass after all, and it is not suitable to be in a place without sunlight. Maybe your transformation will be postponed indefinitely."

"Transformation?" The leaves of the grass shrank slightly: "Transformation, what is transformation?"

"It's just a change, that's all. It's good anyway."

"Transformation, can it bloom?"

"You want to bloom?"

"Um."

"But you should, the flowers can't bloom."

"Then why did the sage say he wanted to wait until I blossomed?"

"God knows." After saying that, the monkey stretched out his hand to dig the soil.

"What are you going to do? Stop! No! You bastard! I want to wait here for the immortal to come back!"

Regardless of Xiaocao's objections, the monkey dug her out of the crack in the rock, jumped out of the waterfall, and planted her on the bank.

"It's the same as waiting here."

The monkey reached out and stroked her leaves, only to find that all her leaves stood up, as if in demonstration.

"You really don't understand good people's hearts."

At night, a group of monsters lit a bonfire and gathered in the camp to have dinner.

This is a relatively bold act. The bonfire in the dark night is extremely conspicuous from the sky. Due to the existence of the sky patrol general, ordinary little monsters would not dare to do this.

But now that Youquanzi, who is good at illusions, is here, a simple illusion array is really simple.

This move undoubtedly strengthened the confidence of the monsters who had just moved here to live in the future.

The leopard was really roasted and eaten. In addition to the ingredients brought from Youquan Valley, it was considered as an extra dish tonight.

When the meat was being divided, Yang Chan sneaked up to the monkey and said jokingly: "Don't you want to take a bite?"

In order to gamble, the monkey also ran over and asked for a piece, biting it in his mouth tasted like chewing gum, and finally spit it out.

Revenge is sometimes not as pleasant as he imagined. After a great revenge is avenged, one often feels lonely.

He has obviously been looking forward to this for so long...

Why……

After traveling so many roads, he gradually understood some truths.

Behind every person he hates, there is a reason not to hate him, such as this leopard. For a monkey, if it eats a monkey, it should be broken into pieces. But as a leopard, it is natural to eat other animals.

Every creature is given countless labels when it is put into this world, and then it does what comes naturally. This should also be part of the way of heaven.

Proclaiming justice with dignity and dignity is sheer nonsense. It’s good to mind your own business.

"Early death and early rebirth."

The monkey lay on his back and stared at the stars in the sky, letting out a long sigh.

"This place is very special." Yang Chan, who was sitting nearby, sighed while looking up at the sky.

"very special?"

"The aura is incredibly abundant, more abundant than in heaven. The creatures here are immersed in this aura every day. Although they have not transformed, they have opened their spiritual wisdom early. It is strange why no immortals or monsters choose to settle here. "

"Maybe there is, but I don't know where it went."

"However, the spiritual energy here is weakening. It should be said that it is weakening very severely. In a few hundred years, it will be no different from other places in the world."

"Oh? Then do you know why this spiritual energy has weakened?"

"Check again when you have time. I don't even know where this abundant spiritual energy comes from. How do I know why it has weakened?"

In the distance, a bunch of monsters gathered together to have fun, and the atmosphere was very jubilant. Youquanzi and Yue Chao stayed alone and meditated.

Youquanzi will return to Youquan Valley at dawn tomorrow. This has been promised a long time ago. Let a person who likes quiet and dislikes trouble help with this, and it's not good to bother him anymore.

As for Yue Chao, he will be leaving soon.

From now on, only Monkey and Yang Chan, two God Refining Realm masters, will be left here to support the overall situation. I don’t know how long it will be before they can light a bonfire in the open space so generously.

Seeing Short Mouth sitting in a daze beside the campfire, the monkey said casually: "Short Mouth has been very depressed lately."

"It's been like this ever since we learned about Bai Yuan's death. Later, when we rescued you and found out that Lao Niu was also dead... it became even more serious." Yang Chan covered his mouth and yawned: "What are we going to do next? Do?"

"I think we should establish an academy first."

"Academy?"

"First set up an academy and let Lu Liuguai teach them how to read. At least, they cannot be illiterate. The other thing is to teach them the correct method, let them practice, and improve their cultivation as soon as possible."

"I can understand improving their cultivation. What's the point of teaching them how to read? I've never heard of monsters going to school."

"It will be of great use in the future." Monkey straightened up and sat up: "You should also take the time to write down what you got in the Xianyue Sanxing Cave, and we will also build a scripture storage pavilion."

Yang Chan smiled sweetly: "When did you know?"

"I guessed it in Jinxia Cave." The monkey turned his head and squinted at Yang Chan and said, "You are bolder than me. At least I guessed Master Bajiucheng's thoughts before I dared to go. What about you? Is it possible that Master also gave me Did you hint?"

"Do you know what the most severe punishment for Xianyue Sanxing Cave is?" Yang Chan pouted and glanced at the monkey, with an expression like a naughty child: "It's expulsion from the master's sect. I knew that before I went there. Subhuti I have never abolished anyone's cultivation, nor executed any of my disciples. Anyway, it was my brother who asked me to go, and I will go to Huashan if I am expelled from the master. Speaking of which, I am still the Holy Mother of Huashan personally conferred by the Jade Emperor. Sometimes I hook up with a scholar or something, imitate my mother, tell a popular story, see if he rebels against me or suppresses me, let him choose one."

"Hey, I still have this idea." Monkey nodded silently.

Could this be the inside story that Yang Chan fell in love with that good-for-nothing Liu Yanchang?

"Is it weird?"

"Kind of."

"I never understood why he had to accept recruitment even after defeating the Heavenly Army."

"Maybe, he didn't win." Monkey muttered casually.

Lowering his head, Yang Chan took a deep breath. His eyes were less sharp and more peaceful: "Winning or not is not that important. If we lose, we will die together at the worst. I am not afraid of death. He should not be afraid either. But he bowed to the Jade Emperor, and I couldn't stand it. It was worse than death... Maybe birds of a feather flock together, and in comparison, I still prefer stubborn and stubborn people."

After a moment of silence, she raised her head, blinked and smiled, "Stop talking about this, talk about something else?"

The monkey pursed his lips and scratched his face: "Continue talking about the good things you did in Xianyue Sanxing Cave."

Yang Chan chuckled: "After weighing it at that time, I suddenly realized that this was a good deal without any capital. In fact, it was also because of your reminder that on the first day I entered the temple, I heard that there was a monkey staring at the Sutra Pavilion. Then I became interested in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. But at the beginning, I just sneaked there to see if there were any good things. I have never forgotten anything since I was a child. If I can really find something good, I only need to take a few glances. Then I remembered it all.”

"At the beginning, I didn't find anything meaningful for two days. I thought that if I couldn't find anything good on the third day, I would not go. But... as soon as I went there on the third day, I found out The Sutra Pavilion originally had a basement, and the door was open at that time."

"Just... open it?" The monkey's eyes started to wander.

"Yes." Yang Chan nodded: "I think Subhuti let me take a peek on purpose. After staying in the Xianyue Sanxing Cave for a few months, Subhuti allowed me to see everything, and I gained a lot. .”

"Like something he did."

"Later, I guessed that he had already calculated that you might leave Xianyue Sanxing Cave. Therefore, let me remember some things that should be taught to you, and tell you through my mouth." Yang Chan sighed slowly Said: "It's really hard work. He wants you to proceed step by step and lay a good foundation without losing your resilience and enterprising spirit. He also wants to ensure that you can continue to improve in all aspects of your cultivation after you leave. Everything, step by step, he wants to Okay. Now that I think about it, he should have guessed early on that I would come to negotiate terms with you."

After a long pause, Yang Chan said helplessly: "What an old fox."

The monkey also smiled: "If you want me to break the heavens, can you do it without teaching me my true skills? But..."

He turned his head and looked at Wangshan Mountain: "From now on, his guesses will not be so accurate."
