The Monkey King

Just as the battle to slay demons in Xiniu and Hezhou was entering its final stage, the East China Sea Dragon Palace finally determined the battle that was taking place at its doorstep.

"So, those who were defeated in the Huaguo Mountain that day were really the troops of King Guangmu of Nantianmen?" asked the old Dragon King, stroking his dragon beard.

"It's about time." Prime Minister Gui cupped his hands and said, "It's just that Li Jing doesn't seem to want outsiders to know about this matter, and he hasn't reported it to the Heavenly Court yet. If the Third Prince hadn't found out through other channels, it would have been really cloudy and hard to see clearly."

"Don't want people to know?" The old Dragon King raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his eyes.

"Exactly."

"Ten thousand heavenly soldiers were lost. The battleship he abandoned at Nantianmen is docked at the entrance of Huaguo Mountain. Could it be that he could have concealed it? Li Jing's move is puzzling." As he said that, the old Dragon King turned around. He looked at Ao Tingxin who was standing on the other side.

Ao Tingxin felt slightly blessed and said, "In my daughter's opinion, I'm afraid this battle will be more than just a defeat."

"oh?"

"Li Jing is a man of great wealth and good at power. He would not take the risk to conceal this matter unless he had to. After all, it would not look good if he was defeated, and it would be even worse if he concealed the battle report. So..." Ao Tingxin covered her mouth and smiled slightly. He smiled, with tenderness between his brows, but then went on to talk about court matters that did not belong to his daughter's family: "So, something more serious must have happened during this battle, something that can make Li Jinggan bear the responsibility." The crime of concealing battle reports. Moreover, it must be possible to cover up this matter by buying a certain amount of time."

After saying that, she looked at her father meaningfully.

The old Dragon King rolled his eyes and said, "Could it be that... King Guangmu was captured?"

"The possibility is very high." Ao Ting thought to himself.

The old Dragon King suddenly took a breath. He said to Prime Minister Turtle: "It seems that this monkey's cultivation is really very high. I heard from my heart that he and Yang Jian were in a draw. I was half-convinced. Now I can't even believe it or not."

On the day of the battle, the East China Sea Dragon Palace's spies were observing at sea. Although they couldn't see clearly because they didn't want to get too close and get in trouble, they still got a general idea.

Being able to cleanly defeat the Nantianmen's 10,000 heavenly soldiers in such a short period of time makes the East China Sea Dragon Palace feel ashamed of Huaguoshan's combat power. This made the old Dragon King lament that it was wise to change the etiquette immediately when receiving the monkey.

However, after the war, it was thought that Li Jing would be angry and send troops to conquer, and the Heavenly Court would order the East China Sea Dragon Palace to cooperate. In the end, nothing happened. Only a few warships docked at the East China Sea reminded the Old Dragon King that the matter was far from over.

In order to find out the truth, the Old Dragon King specially sent Prime Minister Turtle to heaven to entrust his third son Ao Bing, who was killed by Nezha in the Battle of the Gods, to become a god.

This investigation revealed that Li Jing was concealing battle reports...

"Daughter." The old Dragon King shook his head helplessly and sighed: "In your opinion, what should our East China Sea Dragon Palace do next?"

Ao Tingxin said calmly: "Of course, restrain your subordinates and don't take any action for the time being. Don't have any contact with Huaguo Mountain, and don't start a dispute with Huaguo Mountain. Don't mention the battle of Huaguo Mountain that day to the outside world. As for the warships on the East China Sea, just pretend not to know. This is the safest policy if all parties are not offended."

The old Dragon King couldn't help but look at Ao Tingxin a few more times, stroked his beard, and said after a long silence, "It would be great if you were a man."

…

It was dusk at this time, and on the edge of the East China Sea, carrying a package and dusty wind chimes, he was standing on the rocks looking at the vast sea.

This journey was accompanied by Taishang, and more than half a year had passed since she left Xianyue Sanxing Cave. Finally got here.

"Old sir, are you really not going to Huaguo Mountain with me?"

"No." The Supreme Being standing behind him shook his head and said: "You little girl, are you sure you really want to go to Huaguo Mountain? That is a place where monsters gather, a completely different world that you can't imagine. If it is now If you regret it, I will send you back to Xianyue Sanxing Cave immediately."

The wind chime lowered its head slightly, rang for a while, turned around and bowed deeply.

The Supreme Being was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

The wind chime raised its head and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, old gentleman. You were the one who sent me here all the way?"

"When we travel together, how can we say 'send off'?"

"Old sir, don't deny it. Feng Ling is self-aware. In a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible to travel hundreds of thousands of miles." Facing the sea breeze, Feng Ling sighed: "The burned map is actually correct. It's just that The old gentleman 'hidden' a lot of the journey for the wind chime. In the past, he chatted with the monkeys and knew that this road was dangerous. Now the journey is smooth. I am afraid that the dangers on the road have been eliminated by you, old gentleman. If not for the old gentleman Sir, I don’t know when Feng Ling will arrive at Huaguo Mountain, and I don’t know if I will arrive alive. But Feng Ling is not satisfied yet, and even thinks about asking the old man for help if something happens to Huaguo Mountain. Now that I think about it, I feel guilty. so……"

As she said that, she pursed her lips, smiled sweetly, and bowed again: "Please give me a large amount, Mr. Old Sir, and forgive me for the wind chime. I can't repay the kindness, so I can only thank you."

Staring blankly at this stubborn girl's deep bow, the Supreme Being was stunned.

After a long time, a smile slowly bloomed on the old face, full of wrinkles, like a real old man.

He shook his sleeves, stretched out his hand to hold up the wind chime, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "To tell you the truth, you can't go to Huaguo Mountain. I've been beating around the bush all this time just to prevent you from going to Huaguo Mountain. What a pity. , you girl are so stubborn, I don’t even have a chance to speak.”

"Why can't you go?" Feng Ling looked at the Supreme Being and asked.

"I can't explain it, I don't know the truth. I can only advise you, don't go to Huaguo Mountain."

"But the monkey is in Huaguo Mountain."

"It's because he's here that you can't go."

The two looked at each other, Feng Chime's expression was slightly frightened.

After a long while, Feng Chime shook his head, blinked his blue eyes and looked at the Supreme Being and said, "No, I must go and see him."

The Supreme Master loosened his hands, shook his head, and sighed helplessly: "I know I can't persuade you. In this case, I will send you across the sea, and I will save you this girl from suffering."

Feng Ling shook his head and said, "No, I'll go there by myself."

"Why?"

"Wind Chime, I'm sorry to trouble the old gentleman again."

"Can you make it?"

"Monkeys can survive before they become immortals. Why can't I survive?"

The Supreme Being blinked his old eyes. Looked at the ground. Then he looked at the sky and the wind chime and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have told you the truth."

Feng Ling chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "In this way, Feng Ling bids farewell to the old gentleman here."

Looking at the wind chime from the corner of his eye, Taishang chuckled.

"Is this how you go to meet your monkey?"

"Otherwise...what?"

He opened his sleeves, revealing his old and withered hands. He raised them casually, and the clouds in the sky rolled as if accepting his call.

Collect the whitest strand in your palm. With a push, it turned into seamless white gauze and attached to the wind chime.

"This is..." Feng Chime was stunned and stepped back step by step.

"We've been together for more than half a year, and the lunch box is a parting gift."

The sunset glow on the horizon was also touched with a hint of purple, which fell on Feng Ling's body and turned into a purple dress.

The golden brilliance is picked out from the sparkling sea and turned into a bun with pearl hairpin inserted into the wind chime.

The afterglow of the setting sun turned into lip gloss.

The outlines of the majestic mountains, rivers, and vast oceans were instantly fixed in ink and turned into skirts.

The begonia flowers that have not yet grown buds bloom beautifully in an instant, twining in various shapes and turning into patterns on the cuffs.

…

In the blink of an eye. The wind chime, which was originally dressed in men's clothing, has transformed into a delicate and refined fairy, so beautiful that it is breathtaking. Looking at his reflection in the water on the reef. Touching her face, she couldn't help but feel crazy.

The Supreme Being, who had finished casting the spell, clapped his hands and exhaled leisurely: "A girl's family should be like a girl. It makes me feel like marrying a daughter... You, a girl, really don't make people worry. Ah. Didn't he say that there is Yang Chan beside him? She is a rare beauty in the world. Since you are going, don't compare yourself to her."

After saying that, the Supreme Being reached out and took out a piece of jade slip from his pocket and handed it over: "Now, keep this. If you need to find me in trouble, you can use it."

…

In the peaceful Huaguo Mountain, the passage dug all the way up from the underground city has been opened, and countless monsters are moving back and forth to start various preparations for building the city.

Now that existence has been exposed, there is no point in covering it up excessively. It is better to simply walk out into the sun.

Of course, it's not completely unhindered.

The dungeon must continue to be preserved, many secrets are still buried there, and the newly added monsters will all continue to stay and fight in the dungeon. Whether it is the experiment of firearms, the manufacture of warships, or even the smelting of weapons, they can only be carried out in the underground city for the time being.

The first batch of people allowed to live on the ground were those monsters who had been in Huaguo Mountain for a long time and were recognized. In addition to using living on the surface as a reward, this arrangement is also intended to ensure the safety of underground secrets, while also freeing up some space in the crowded underground city.

Short Mouth commanded the army to join the construction brigade, shouldering the heavy responsibility of felling trees and moving stones.

Lu Liuguai led a group of craftsmen to take charge of the specific construction matters.

Day and night, a huge above-ground town belonging to demons has begun to take shape amid the busy schedule.

As for the monkey, he was sitting in the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion in the Water Curtain Cave, staring at the bamboo slips that he had seen countless times, trying to figure out something new.

Since his cultivation had stagnated, he had become extremely full of time every day, but because of the careful system he had built in the early stage, he had nothing to do after finalizing the plan for the above-ground town. In addition to making some key decisions every day, he went to see Yang Chan, and then stood on the main peak of Huaguo Mountain for a while to look down at the town he had built with his own hands.

Otherwise, just patrol the dungeon to see if the plans of each part are implemented seriously.

There was really nothing to do at the end, so I was bored and had to read all the books about the enlightenment written by Yang Chan again.

At midnight, Heizi ran over in a hurry: "Brother Monkey, Sister Yang Chan wants you to come over."

"Let me pass? Why?"

Under the oil lamp, the half-lying monkey yawned lazily, rolled up the bamboo slips, and threw them aside.

"We have guests coming, people from heaven."

"From heaven?" Monkey's eyes widened, and his tiredness was swept away.

"It seems... Nezha." Heizi whispered. (To be continued...)
