The Monkey King

Late at night, the moon slowly peeked out from behind the dark clouds.

At the edge of the sparkling deep pool at the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave, the grass spirit sat quietly on the rock and watched the monkey squatting aside, taking off his leather armor and cleaning it.

There was blood on it.

"Don't you have many subordinates? Why do you have to wash yourself?" Xiaocao asked.

"I don't know." Monkey reached out, splashed some water on his leather armor, and rubbed it: "Maybe he's too lazy to bark."

"Too lazy to bark, but willing to wash?"

The monkey didn't answer.

Under the moonlight, the grass spirit quietly watched the monkey squatting on the edge of the deep pool.

After five years of getting along, she knew something about this monkey.

She knew that this monkey was stubborn, proud, but also lonely. Most of the time, he prefers to stay alone, not like a demon king at all.

Probably because he himself was turned from stone.

But shouldn’t such a stone monkey hide somewhere and enjoy the rest of his life? How could he spare no effort to promote the demon's prosperity?

She never understood this.

When a person is quiet, his face is indifferent, as if he is always full of worries.

A petite figure quietly came behind the rock not far behind the monkey.

The monkey stopped what he was doing, raised his head slightly and said, "Come out, right?"

The fiery red boots stepped on the green grass step by step, and the red fox tail behind him swayed slightly.

Pursing her mouth, she glanced at the grass spirit beside her. She opened her eyes wide and tilted her head to look at the monkey. Her two fluffy red ears twitched slightly: "I still like Brother Monkey to call me Xiaohong, because others call me Xiaohong." alright."

"The name was given by Yang Chan, so I still have to respect your master."

"Sister Yang Chan is not so stingy."

"Really? Why do I think she is so stingy?"

Gently stroking his hair, the little fox demon wearing red leather armor walked towards the monkey step by step, with a delicate and flawless face, ruby-like eyes, and long red hair. Like burning fireworks, it looked extremely eye-catching and magnificent in the night.

Maybe it's because of race or nature. There is always endless charm in her eyes, and there is a dreamlike feeling that is fascinating.

Squatting next to the monkey, she saw blood stains on the leather armor the monkey took off. She reached out to grab it: "I'll do it."

"I can do it myself," the monkey advised.

Silently squatting beside him, the little fox demon asked softly: "Already gone?"

"kindness."

"Did the deal break down?"

"We didn't talk about it. I originally wanted to talk about it again when I went there, but after meeting that guy, I suddenly didn't want to talk about it anymore."

"Oh." The little fox demon lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then asked, "What did they do to make you unhappy?"

"Said some things that made me feel sick."

Staring at the slightly trembling fur on the monkey's cheek, the little fox demon took a deep breath. Asked: "Have they all been killed?"

"No, I only killed a few leaders and gave the others minor punishments. Tomorrow you can send someone to take over the place. Let the brothers who were there pay attention to their safety. If the situation is not right, priority should be given to life-saving. The situation in that place is more complicated."

The little fox demon nodded. After staring at the leather armor for a while, he asked, "Why don't you use magic to clean it? That's faster."

"I don't want to." The monkey raised his head and glanced at the little fox demon, and asked: "Why are you running out in the middle of the night without sleeping?"

"Come to find you."

"Looking for me? You haven't even reached the realm of refining gods, so you'd better not run around."

"Who told you to let me practice the path of enlightenment at that time?"

"That's for your own good. Do you, a girl, want to go into battle and kill the enemy with a stick like me? Be careful, you will lose your life. There are many people who do this kind of thing, and you are not needed."

The little fox demon smiled sweetly: "As long as you are here, I will not be in danger."

After that, he glanced at the monkey quietly, but there was no expression on his face.

Sighing silently, she added: "Because I haven't reached the realm of refining gods yet, so I can't even go out for a walk at night? I am a monster after all."

All the monsters in the entire Huaguo Mountain know the monkey's love for the little fox monster. To this. The little fox demon has always been proud of it. In Huaguo Mountain, she is as noble as a little princess.

This sense of pride lasted until one day the monkey, who had just broken through the spiritual overdraft in his cultivation, called her by the wrong name.

For this reason, the little fox demon hid from the monkey for a long time.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The little fox demon flattened his mouth and said, "The horned snake has come back. He is waiting for you in Xianyun Cave. Brother Short Mouth and Mr. are also there. It seems there is bad news."

The Horned Snake is a snake-turned-dragon that has just entered the realm of refining gods. Before taking refuge in Huaguo Mountain, it once had its own territory. However, it was wiped out by the Tianhe navy. In order to take refuge, it hid in the East China Sea. Unfortunately, its fate was ill-fated. Before they could gain a firm foothold, they were defeated by the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Later, he moved to Huaguo Mountain and is now in charge of the navy in Huaguo Mountain.

Until now, he is still famous on the wanted list in heaven, with a bounty of 30,000 yuan.

Among the monsters in Huaguo Mountain, his head is only slightly cheaper than Monkey's head worth one hundred thousand gold.

After washing for a while, the monkey picked up the leather armor, shook it, put it on, reached out and touched it, and the leather armor dried instantly.

Looking up at the moon that was gradually disappearing behind the clouds in the sky, the monkey said calmly: "Let's go."

Xianyun Cave is an inconspicuous cave at the foot of Huaguo Mountain. It is just a place for chatting on weekdays, and sometimes secret meetings are held there.

Walking into the simple cave illuminated by torches, the monkey saw a slender monster with two long horns and brown skin, which was more than 1.5 feet tall and curled up on a small chair. Standing was a tall shark spirit holding a trident.

Lu Liuguai was sitting next to him and seemed to be chatting with him, while Duanzui stood aside with his hands folded and his expression solemn.

"Your Majesty." Seeing the monkey, the Horned Snake stood up quickly. This time, the monkey saw the wound on the back of his hand that was still bleeding slightly.

Staring at the wound, Monkey slowly sat on the chair and asked, "What happened?"

"The Dragon Palace of the East China Sea discovered that we were transporting sand and gravel produced by digging caves to the East China Sea. A group of patrols discovered it, and there was a conflict. We captured a few, but a few escaped. Those prisoners are still with us. station. According to them, Dragon Palace’s army will arrive within a few days.”

"East China Sea Dragon Palace?" Monkey blinked and took a deep breath.

Ao Guang, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, did not go to him to get the golden hoop. He came to the door himself.

Thinking about it, the monkey couldn't help but laugh.

Short Mouth standing aside kept staring at the monkey, slowly walked over, sat down, and said: "The East China Sea Dragon Palace matter is no better than other matters. Ao Guang's reputation is not very good. If he doesn't handle it well this time, he will come next time. It’s time for the heavenly army.”

"Let me handle this matter. It's time for a showdown with this old neighbor."

"How to show off your cards?" Short Mouth asked.

"I'll go talk to him."

…

Early the next morning, we had dinner together again.

At the dinner table, Monkey said casually: "I have a favor, and I would like my sister-in-law to help me. I don't know if I can do it."

"Help?" Ao Cunxin bit her chopsticks and hesitated for a moment: "Help for what?"

"I would like to ask my sister-in-law to introduce me to the Dragon King of the East China Sea."

"What do you want to see uncle for?" Ao Cunxin frowned.

Yang Chan was also stunned for a moment, then raised her head and glanced at the monkey.

"My Huaguo Mountain is close to the East China Sea. Speaking of which, I can be considered a neighbor to the old Dragon King. But I haven't had the chance to meet him in these years. It's rare that my sister-in-law is here and she is related to the Dragon King of the East China Sea. So I would like to ask my sister-in-law to introduce me to her, so it won't be a waste of time. Offended the old Dragon King."

Ao Cunxin thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "You monkey is quite sensible. That's okay. This princess's recommendation is not a problem, but after all, the uncle is the Dragon King canonized by heaven, and he has dealings with monsters in the mortal world. I'm afraid there are still some taboos. . I just don’t know if he will agree to meet. After all, not everyone can meet the Dragon King, even if someone recommends him."

After saying that, Ao Cunxin looked vaguely proud.

"I have a little gift here. If my sister-in-law gives it to the old Dragon King for me, he will definitely be willing to see me." The monkey smiled faintly, took out the small box he had prepared, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Ao Cunxin. past.

It looks like just an ordinary wooden box, even though the material is ordinary pine wood, the workmanship is a bit rough.

"What kind of treasure could it be?" Ao Cunxin frowned slightly: "There are many treasures in the Dragon Palace. What gift of yours is so powerful? Can you guarantee that my uncle will definitely see you?"

With that said, she reached out to open the box, but was held down by the monkey.

"This box must be opened by the old Dragon King himself. If someone else opens it, the contents inside will be gone."

"Is there such a thing?" Ao Cunxin became even more curious. She stared at the box with her eyes. After thinking for a while, she said, "I think if you make some delicious cakes for uncle, I'll have a better chance of sending them to you." High. Maybe I will be willing to hire you as the chef of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, but if you want to find a job, I can come to the West China Sea Dragon Palace on behalf of my father."

"I'm not planning any errands. I just want to meet my old neighbor. I'll send this over. I promise the old Dragon King will like it."

"You just want to meet your uncle? No other purpose?"

"No. The most I can do is chat with him."

"What can we talk about?" Ao Cunxin looked at the monkey suspiciously.

This question really knocked the monkey off his feet and made him smile awkwardly.

Yang Chan, who was sitting opposite, stared at the monkey, her eyes narrowed to a slit, but she did not speak.

After being silent for a long time, Ao Cunxin raised her head and said: "Okay, for the sake of my sister, I will give this gift to you, but whether he sees you or not is none of my business. This matter can't be fought. Guaranteed ticket."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Monkey said with cupped hands.

After sending Ao Cunxin out of the sea, Yang Chan asked: "What is in your box?"

"Waist badge."

"Waist badge?"

"The waistband of six Dragon Palace sergeants."

The waves crashed on the beach, and seagulls chirped in the sky.

In the distance, the golden boy lying behind the rocks turned his head and lowered his voice and said to the silver boy: "This matter must be reported to the master!"
