The Monkey King

The moon passes through the clouds, spreading its light. The leaves trembled slightly in the wind, and the shadows swayed.

At night, Huaguo Mountain is as quiet as a picture scroll.

If they didn't know the details, no one would be able to imagine that in such a paradise, there would be a huge army of monsters dormant, sharpening their swords.

When he landed at the edge of the deep pool at the entrance of Shuilian Cave, Yuding had a look of confusion on his face.

Looking around, I saw only a woman in green sitting quietly on the rock, staring intently at the waves of the deep pool.

This place, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like the place where monkeys talk about carrying out big plans.

"This way." The monkey jumped across the waterfall and entered the water curtain cave, and Yuding quickly followed.

Entering the Water Curtain Cave is a different scene.

Two small braziers were lit at the relatively spacious cave entrance, and the three guarding monsters knelt down on one knee when the monkeys arrived.

"Your Majesty!"

"Go and inform Yang Chan that Master Yuding has arrived."

"promise!"

Carrying the jade cauldron, the monkey passed by the three little demons of the Nashen Realm without looking back, and walked step by step towards the depths of the Water Curtain Cave.

However, Yuding couldn't help but turn around and look at the three little demons.

Only then did Yu Ding become convinced that the place he came from was really the headquarters of a monster force. However, three Naishen realm little demons were guarding the door, which was a bit too shabby.

It is really far from the big plan that the monkey wants to carry out.

As they went deeper into the Water Curtain Cave, Jade Cauldron saw more and more monsters. They saluted the monkeys in groups of three or two. Most of them were in the realm of receiving gods, and occasionally some were in the realm of refining gods.

The brazier used for lighting also grew larger and larger, and the surrounding area gradually became brighter.

When he walked to the upper hall, Yuding couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

The blazing fire illuminated everything red, and the walls of the huge space had been carefully repaired. It looked nothing like an ordinary monster's cave.

Dozens of monsters were arguing fiercely around a stone table in the hall when they saw the two of them. One by one, they spoke up.

All eyes were alertly focused on Jade Cauldron.

Short Mouth and Big Horn gave a gentle blow to the breastplate as a salute, while the other monsters knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty!"

"What are you discussing?" Monkey walked over and propped up the stone table and asked.

On the table was a sheepskin defense map for hundreds of miles around Huaguo Mountain.

"We are going to adjust the ground defense starting from this month. We plan to reduce our manpower. The staff gap below is getting bigger and bigger." He reached out and glanced at the jade tripod behind the monkey, and asked softly with a short mouth: "Who is this? "

Monkey turned sideways and introduced: "This is Master Yuding, my old friend."

"Master Yuding? Twelve Golden Immortals?" Short Mouth asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, that's right." Yuding quickly raised his hand and said with a smile.

All the monsters bowed their hands and saluted, but all of them were cold and without smiles.

After all, humans are afraid of monsters, and monsters are also afraid of humans.

The short mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to ask something else, looked at the monkey, but closed his mouth again.

I saw what the monsters were thinking. The monkey extended his hand and introduced: "Next, Master Yuding may help us develop new weapons. When the time comes, everyone must cooperate. What Brother Yuding said is what I said. Do you understand?"

At this statement, all the monsters were stunned.

Taking orders from a human? If it's Yang Chan and the others, they don't have any objections, but what's going on with Master Yuding?

The monkey stared and shouted: "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The monsters nodded in agreement one by one.

"Okay, you guys are busy first, I'll show Brother Yuding around."

He reached out and patted Short Mouth's shoulder, with all the monsters watching. The monkey continued to walk inside with the slightly uneasy Jade Cauldron.

In the group just now, Jade Cauldron had clearly seen two spirit-transformation realm monsters, and even more god-refining realm monsters abounded.

In the mortal world, the power of such monsters cannot be underestimated. Even the power of each of the legendary six demon kings is probably no more than this. Fortunately, looking at the situation just now, monkeys have extremely high prestige in the minds of these monsters. This made Yu Ding feel more at ease.

After catching up with the monkey, Yuding asked in a low voice: "Where are we going now?"

"I haven't finished reading it yet."

"You don't have to look at the trivial things."

"Not the corners."

"ah?"

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.

"Going down from here is my base camp." Monkey pointed at the vertical tunnel and said.

"Go down from here? Base camp?" Yuding was a little confused. What's down here is the base camp. So what did it just do?

He squatted at the entrance of the cave with some anxiety, stroking his beard and looking in.

It was pitch black, bottomless, and nothing could be seen.

He muttered to himself: "There are no stairs here, how can we go down?"

"Let's go!"

Before Yuding could react, the monkey stretched out his hand to grab him, picked up his collar and jumped into the hole together.

Amidst the screams of Master Yuding, the two of them fell rapidly through the tunnel.

When Master Yuding paused, he saw a scene of iron and blood in front of him!

In the huge underground city, everything is reflected red by the blazing fire, the air is hot and turbid, and countless monsters are sweating. The sounds of shouting, chanting, fighting, and quarreling came and went.

Bustling and bustling, it's like an entire human city.

In front of this city, he was as insignificant as a grain of sand.

At this scene, Yuding opened his mouth in shock, looked at the monkey in horror, and was speechless for a long time.

The outstretched finger didn't know where to point for a long time.

This is not a monster force at all, this is simply a monster empire hidden underground!

After a long while, he trembled and closed his mouth, swallowed dryly, and asked: "This... was all your doing?"

The monkey nodded slightly, pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's go, I'll show you around."

After that, the monkey flew down with the jade tripod, and countless monsters cheered and howled like wild beasts along the way.

The sound was deafening.

For humans, this is a hellish place.

Yuding looked around in panic, his hands hidden in his sleeves trembling slightly.

The monkey flying in front said to himself: "The ground is too dangerous. Under the eyes of heaven, they will not give me enough time to develop. So I built this place and disguised myself as an ordinary army." The monster power. This way at least it won’t be noticed in the short term. It should buy a certain amount of time.”

Falling to the edge of the keel on the open ground at the bottom, Yuding raised his head and looked up at the huge battleship skeleton.

The huge wooden pulley arm is moving slightly in the air, and the craftsman sitting on the platform suspended by the rope is concentrating on planing the wood. Several shackles and tattered heavenly soldiers were discussing something with a group of monster craftsmen.

Amidst the shouts, the monster coolies pushed the flatbed trucks to deliver the newly cut big trees. Behind them were sergeants wielding whips.

Monkey pointed at the keel and said: "This is the latest battleship skeleton. It is already the fourth generation, but it is not completed yet. It is just a test product and will not be put into battle. The monsters have no craftsmen, and they all relied on captives at first. The first generation of battleships were completed under the guidance of heavenly craftsmen. Since then, my people have gradually mastered the craftsmanship. Now the first three generations of battleships have been dismantled, and the underground dock has not yet been built, so there is not enough space to park it. Of course, the former The third generation has not yet met the requirements for going to the battlefield. The choice to build at this time is purely for the skills of skilled craftsmen. We need to train more craftsmen. After all, we cannot always rely on the captives of Heaven. Moreover, they will all become you in the future right-hand man."

"How do you get out of the ground when you build a warship here?" Yu Ding asked with some confusion.

The monkey glanced at the jade tripod and pointed to the deep pool in the distance with a smile.

On the edge of the deep pool. Rows of aquatic monsters are constantly going back and forth, sending bamboo baskets filled with sand into the deep pool.

"That waterway leads directly to the East China Sea, but it is still too narrow and can only be used to transport excavated sand and gravel. The construction of underground canals along this waterway has been put on the agenda, and drawings are now being drawn. By then, the first batch of All docks will be underground docks.”

Yuding blinked his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, unable to speak for a while.

speech. It was impossible to describe how he felt at this moment.

With the jade tripod, Monkey came to the school grounds.

There, Yuding saw a military formation comparable to the heavenly army practicing and fighting, and bursts of shouts echoed and mixed in the empty underground space.

The demon general standing on the high platform wanted to extend his hand to ask the army to stop to greet him, but was stopped by the monkey.

"These are my elite troops, or the core of the future army." Monkey turned back to Jade Cauldron and said: "They are all practitioners. Many of them have broken through to the realm of refining gods. But now there is a problem, that is, they lack In actual combat, and the hostility is too strong, it is difficult to improve one's cultivation to the next level. In fact, it doesn't matter, as long as you wait until the actual war with the heavenly army begins. Once the hostility is eliminated, the cultivation will naturally improve. Of course, The premise is that they can survive. In addition, their magic skills are not good. It will take a long time to make up for this. Fortunately, there is still time. There is another more difficult problem. The heavenly army can fly. I also hope that my troops can fly. All have wings.”

After saying that, he looked at the jade tripod with a smile.

"This, that's no problem. As long as you prepare enough materials, it's easy to get wings." Jade Cauldron, who had already been dazzled by it, stuttered.

"I'll leave it to Brother Yuding then." Monkey turned around and continued walking forward: "You won't be able to see all the things here for a while, let's go and see what you care about most."

Leading the jade tripod, the monkey climbed up step by step along the exposed stairs on the stone wall, passing through the large-scale smelting plant, the extremely busy engineering department, and the suffocatingly hot living area.

Standing at a high place, Yuding could clearly see the structure of the entire underground city and the monsters everywhere. The scene was enough to make any heavenly army general tremble.

Finally, they arrived at the school.

In countless classrooms, monsters sit neatly like children in a human school, reading and practicing calligraphy.

Many of them are no longer little demons, but serious adult demons. Yu Ding even saw an elephant spirit with a height of 1.5 feet, curled up and crowded into a small classroom, listening carefully with only his knees The tall rabbit spirit lectures.

There was a hole in the door, and it looked like he had squeezed it.

Yuding stared at this incredible scene with wide eyes.

If what we saw before was just force, then what we see now is the core behind force, the real core of this underground city.

Knowledge, inheritance and reproduction. If the monkey is the brain of this underground city, then this is its heart, continuously delivering fresh blood to every corner to build strong muscles.

Turning around, opening his hands, the monkey said to the jade tripod: "Look, every monster who joins Huaguo Mountain must learn calligraphy first, no matter what they were before. Whether it is a little monster or a monster king, they all need to learn calligraphy first. Practice calligraphy. This is the rule of Huaguoshan, there are no privileges. I need an army, but not an army without discipline."

"And after learning calligraphy, you can't just leave the school. One-on-one education is too slow, and I need a faster way. Here, they can choose a variety of courses, including courses involving various cultivation techniques. Military courses, combat courses, smelting courses, engineering manufacturing... Before they enter relevant positions, they must master the relevant basic knowledge here as quickly as possible."

After being stunned for a long time, Yuding asked: "Are they willing to listen to you? These are unimaginable even among humans, and you are facing a group of monsters. A group of lawless monsters."

The monkey smiled faintly: "Huaguo Mountain is not a shrine. Everything here is prepared for one day to walk on the ground. However, I will also give them the right to choose, or learn a skill well and prove to me For what they're worth, fight a way for yourself. Or... get there."

Pointing at the stone wall that was being excavated in full swing, the monkey said expressionlessly, "Huaguo Mountain does not support idlers. If you want to survive here, you must pay the corresponding rewards. Please believe that I have absolute control over this place, even if I let They have firearms and will never lose control."

Yuding glanced at the monsters working under the flying whips in the distance, and asked slowly: "What if they really want to leave?"

"Handside, carry it out."
