The Monkey King

"I heard that the bud on the moon tree has opened one petal."

"Does this count?"

"I guess, ninety-five immortals are already present at Lingxiao Palace."

"Not only that, I heard that thirty-seven garrison generals who were not present also signed up to second the proposal."

"Isn't there anyone who can speak for him?"

"No."

"What should I do with Marshal Peng that day?"

"I don't know... I guess even if he doesn't die, he won't be able to keep his position as marshal."

"What a shame."

There was a lot of discussion.

In the corridor, colorful clothes and other fairies passed by each other like zombies.

"Why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid..."

She repeated this sentence over and over again, her voice as weak as a dream.

Stretching out his hand, there was a piece of plain jade without any carvings in the palm of his hand. It was the first time they met, and he gave it to her.

He didn't know that she had kept it for thousands of years.

At that time, he was just a recruit in the mortal army, and she was already a famous singer. After singing a song, he squeezed into the backstage, blushed, and said solemnly: "You sing so beautifully. , this... is my family heirloom, I only have this, give it to you as a token of love."

He said that he would be rewarded for his meritorious service and marry her.

Everyone laughed, even her, thinking it was a joke, but he, who was only fifteen years old at the time, puffed up his cheeks and declared angrily that he would definitely do it.

After that, he fought in various places and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

But his opponent is too strong, either a monster or a monk. Reluctantly, he became an immortal and stole the Tao of the Master.

In the Battle of the Gods, he narrowly escaped death and made great achievements in battle, but after all, he was not a disciple of the Second Sect of Chanjie. Without a famous teacher, his name would not be on the list of Gods.

But because of her outstanding singing and dancing skills, she was given an elixir and ascended to become a singer in heaven.

On the day he left this world, he held her hand and burst into tears.

He said: "I will definitely find you! Wait for me!"

She also thought it was just a joke.

But he really came.

Fifty years apart, but only fifty days in Heaven, he fought against the Demon King and made great achievements. He became one of the first people to ascend to the throne after the Battle of the Gods, and was accepted by Heaven as a junior general.

At that time, he did not know that immortals could not be contaminated by the world of mortals.

At the Peach Blossom Reunion, she danced to the top of the city, but he didn't even have a seat. He could only pretend to be on patrol and stand outside the door to watch secretly, but he was obsessed with watching.

Afterwards, he secretly said: "One day, I want to sit and watch you dance."

She smiled sweetly, and her heart felt warmer than ever before.

"What? You don't believe it?"

"No, I believe it. I believe everything you say." At that moment, her heart was really moved, and a new bud quietly grew on the moon tree.

Immortals are passionate. If both parties are immortals, heaven will only punish the one with higher rank.

And her rank is obviously higher than him.

She had no regrets about being demoted because of this, but he couldn't accept it.

At that time, he was transferred to the Tianhe Navy as a junior general.

Tianhe is the inland river of Heaven, and the Tianhe navy is naturally a garrison force of less than a thousand people.

"As long as my rank is higher than yours, then you won't be demoted!" he said.

From then on, he embarked on this road of no return.

Expeditions in the south and north, expanding the army again and again, made great military exploits for the heaven, and finally turned the garrison of less than a thousand people into a powerful force in the world.

At the Pantao Party, he finally no longer had to stand, but he no longer dared to watch her dance.

…

Thousands of miles of sky, a solitary warship flies slowly, like maple leaves floating on the lake.

It's been a year in the sky and on earth, and the Qing family who came to summon me didn't rush me.

Canopy stood at the bow of the ship, stroking the mast and looking at the sea of ​​clouds.

What was the purpose of standing on the deck for the first time?

Canopy slowly closed his eyes and remembered carefully.

He has been a minister for thousands of years and has a clear conscience. Now that he has relieved himself of the heavy burden, it is time to think about himself.

The startling glimpse at the Peach Blossom Party made him hate his humble self. After so many years, he still couldn't sit upright.

She didn't know that that day, he cried secretly. He didn't dare let her know, because she wouldn't like a coward.

At that time, he didn't know that gods were not allowed to be emotional.

When she knew that flower buds were growing on the moon tree, she secretly wiped away her tears. He saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

I wish I had never been to this heavenly palace and let those memories grow old with me in the mortal world, so that there wouldn't be so many things.

At that point, only if he has a higher rank than her can he keep her.

But gods never grow old, so naturally there is no job replacement.

Since there is no vacancy, create a new position.

Having no choice but to embark on the journey, he took two warships with ill-equipped equipment and low morale to fight in the north and south.

At Xinjin River, he led two hundred remaining soldiers to intercept ten thousand monsters, and fought without sleep for seven days and seven nights. In the end, he was the only one left. After the war, that hand couldn't lift the sword for half a month.

After receiving the reward, he doubled the size of the Tianhe navy.

In the Demon Valley, he fought against two demon kings alone and was stabbed fifty-two times, but he still managed to return to the Heavenly Palace with his head in one breath.

After receiving the reward, he doubled the Tianhe navy.

All the gods laughed at him like a lunatic who didn't want his life. But he didn't care and still went his own way.

Along the way for a thousand years, he no longer remembers how many battles he fought and how many armies he expanded.

When he became the marshal, he also took the opportunity to secretly seek advice from the Supreme Lord. The Supreme Being pruned the flower buds off the moon tree without saying a word, but said to him meaningfully: "If you don't control yourself, even if you plow it away, it will bloom one day."

He didn't dare to see her again. Pantao was at the meeting, his eyes closed tightly.

Moved the headquarters of the Tianhe navy from Tianting to Yunyu Tiangang just so that he would never meet her again.

As long as I can know from a distance that she is okay, that's enough.

After that, it was still a cycle of conquests, army expansion, conquests, and army expansion. Loyalty to Heaven and the Jade Emperor became everything to him.

His reputation spread all over the world along with the banner of Tianhe Navy, but who can know the pain in his heart?

You can't escape what is coming.

A chance encounter on the stone bridge a hundred years ago, with just one glance, instantly broke through the solid wall that had been forged for a long time and shattered it into powder. It was so simple and so complete.

Scenes from the past emerge one after another, close at hand and lingering.

New buds are growing again.

He knew that the Supreme Being was telling him that the flower buds on the trees could be repaired, but the flower buds in the heart could not be repaired. As long as the buds in your heart are still there, the flowers will bloom sooner or later.

Can it still be repaired?

Maybe, if it is the Jade Emperor who speaks.

But he refused after all, just because he didn't want to forget the haunting figure.

This memory should have grown old with him thousands of years ago.

Caressing the mast, he opened his eyes slightly and smiled faintly: "That's fine. If you die, it's time to thank the flower buds on the moon tree."

For Heaven, he fought to the end and lived up to Heaven's grace.

A thousand years of marriage and a thousand years of nightmare have finally come to an end.

I should have no regrets in this life.

…

The golden carved roof, the jade-embellished door, and the picturesque room are the bedroom of Chang'e, the head of the Moon Palace. Endless glory cannot hide the pain in my heart.

Opening the door, Nishang walked into the room step by step and sat blankly in front of the dressing table.

In the bronze mirror, the flower's face is haggard.

"It's all my fault... why did you take the elixir in the first place?" She covered her face and cried.

If it hadn't been for that elixir, she wouldn't have ascended, and he wouldn't have chased her.

Had they not come to this cold heaven, they might have been a loving young couple in the mortal world, living together for a hundred years and growing old together.

"My fault is all my fault, why should he bear it?"

…

The gate of Nantianmen opened wide, warships passed by, and the heavenly soldiers in formation raised their heads to watch the heavenly warrior make his final journey.

After getting off the ship, the Qing family who was delivering the order leaned close to Tianpeng and whispered: "Your Majesty ordered that if the Marshal still has any unfulfilled wishes, he should do so before he steps into the Lingxiao Palace."

"I want to... go to Guanghan Palace."
