The Monkey King

The verbal war just stopped.

The monkey group and Canopy stood on opposite sides of the villa's gate, the hostility in their eyes still too strong to be diluted.

Accompanied by Nishang, Xuanzang entered the villa to say goodbye to Taigong Gao.

When he met Xuanzang, the first thing Gao Taigong said was: "Are you a human or a monster?"

When he said this, Gao Taigong's eyes widened in shock, and the hand holding the armrest of the chair was still shaking.

Nishang on the side quickly explained: "Dad, in the previous life, Master Xuanzang was the second disciple of Buddha, Jin Chanzi. Don't be rude."

"The second disciple of the Buddha?" Gao Taigong glanced at Xuanzang in horror, swallowed dryly, and whispered: "How do you know that he is the reincarnation of the second disciple of the Buddha?"

"This...this is what he said himself, and Gang Hye has also confirmed it."

"Gang Hui himself is a demon, can you believe his words?" Gao Taigong gritted his teeth and said: "Besides, what if he is really the second disciple of the Buddha? It is unfilial for Buddhism to teach people to become monks and cut off the kindness of their parents. Our family is also I don’t believe in Buddha. That’s him, what does it have to do with me?”

After saying that, Gao Taigong glanced at Xuanzang cautiously, with deep fear still in his eyes.

Seeing this, Nishang had no choice but to turn around, clasped her hands, saluted Xuanzang, and said, "My father is old... Please don't take offense to Master Xuanzang."

"As the saying goes, Bai Shanxi and filial piety come first, and Buddhists cut off the world of mortals. It is understandable that your father said this." Xuanzang stepped forward slowly and stopped eight feet away from Grand Duke Gao. He bowed and saluted and said: "The poor monk is a person from the Tang Dynasty in the East. His ancestral home is Haizhou. His common surname is Chen and his given name is Jiangliu. He was ordained and became a monk at Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou. His Buddhist name is Xuanzang. If Taigong Gao still doesn't believe it... Xuanzang My mother’s surname is Yin, and her given name is Wenjiao. She is the daughter of the Prime Minister Yin of the Tang Dynasty in the East. If he meets a merchant from the East, Taigong Gao will know the authenticity once he asks."

"Are you really human?"

"It's human."

Gao Taigong looked Xuanzang up and down with his eyes wide open. The fear in his eyes was finally less, but his brows could not help but frown more tightly. He asked in a low voice: "Since you are a human being, why do you want to be with those monsters?"

Xuanzang thought for a moment, then looked puzzled and asked, "Why can't we be together?"

"This..." This question confused Mr. Gao. After hesitating for a long time, Mr. Gao whispered: "There is a difference between a human and a demon. Can a demon and a human... be together? You can't... Were you confused by their magic?"

Xuanzang couldn't help but laugh. He asked back: "Didn't Grand Duke Gao stay with Gang Xien all these years?"

"This is different!" Gao Taigong immediately shouted and waved his hands: "He lied to me. If I had known that he was a demon, how could I have allowed him here?"

Xuanzang frowned and asked immediately: "Have you done a lot of bad things in recent years?"

"This... is not a bad thing. Not only is there no bad thing, but the whole house is managed by him, and everything is taken care of in an orderly manner. If it hadn't been for this time..."

Having said this, Grand Duke Gao couldn't help but fell silent while stroking his long beard.

Nishang's frowning eyebrows slowly relaxed.

Xuanzang took a deep breath. He took a step forward and said slowly: "Have you ever heard of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Grand Duke Gao? Every living being in the world, whether human or demon, or even poultry or beast, must return to the underworld when their life span ends. Reincarnation..."

…

About an hour later, Taigong Gao took Xuanzang out of the house with his colorful clothes.

The three of them walked out of the gate, but instead of saying goodbye directly, they walked towards the canopy step by step.

Everyone present, whether it was Monkey, Canopy, or even Xiao Bailong, Lu Liuguai, and Black Bear Jing, couldn't help but become confused.

When they reached the canopy, the three of them stopped. Xuanzang clasped his hands and saluted towards the canopy, saying, "The poor monk has just told all the causes and consequences to Grand Duke Gao."

"Have you all said it?" Tianpeng looked at Xuanzang with slight surprise, then turned to look at Taigong Gao.

When Tianpeng saw this, Gao Taigong was immediately frightened and took a step back. Nishang on the side quickly stepped forward to help him, so that he would not fall directly.

Glancing at Xuanzang, Gao Taigong took a deep breath and said with twinkling eyes: "Just now, Master Xuanzang told me, were you really the Grand Marshal of Heaven in your previous life?"

Canopy nodded silently.

Seeing Tianpeng nod his head, Gao Taigong sighed helplessly, shook his head and said: "It's nature that plays tricks on people. It's no wonder, I said why a demon... would be so good to my Gao family, it turned out to be with Cui Lan had a marriage in her previous life. Speaking of which, when Cuilan was betrothed to you, you tried to shirk it in every possible way...Everyone has their destiny in reincarnation, so I can't blame you. It's not your fault that you became a monster. However, I really can't marry the only one to you. My daughter is betrothed to a pig demon. Please don’t have any contact with her from now on."

Having said that, Grand Duke Gao glanced at the canopy cautiously, then quickly lowered his head and moved his steps slightly towards Xuanzang's direction.

After hesitating for a long time, Tianpeng nodded again, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed: "You have caused trouble to the master. Ganghye will definitely follow the master's teachings and will never appear in Gao Laozhuang from now on..."

Seeing this situation, Gao Taigong was quite surprised and quickly looked towards Xuanzang.

After a while, Taigong Gao relaxed a little.

Perhaps until this moment, he truly believed that even if he turned into a pig demon, Ganghei was still the diligent and down-to-earth Ganghei, and he had no intention of bullying others with force.

After swallowing dryly, Gao Taigong waved his hands and whispered: "Don't kneel down, and don't call me master. Just now, Master Xuanzang said that you are more than 600 years old. I really can't bear your kneeling." Get up. Better... go."

Canopy bowed again and stood up silently.

Nishang quietly glanced at Xuanzang.

Just as Tianmao turned around to leave, Xuanzang suddenly said: "Mr. Gao, Xuanzang has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Canopy immediately stopped.

Grand Duke Gao nodded towards Xuanzang and said, "Master Xuanzang, please speak."

The monkeys and others on the side watched Xuanzang quietly.

Xuanzang cleared his throat and said softly: "Xuanzang thinks that if you put aside the identity of this pig demon, Gang Hui is actually a rare son-in-law. I wonder if Gao Taigong also thinks so?"

"This..." Gao Taigong shook his head helplessly and said: "Of course this old man knows, but my Gao family cannot recruit a monster son-in-law no matter what. Even if this old man admits it, what will the relatives say? This old man Folks, what are you going to say? Master Xuanzang’s words... What’s the difference if you say them or not?”

"What if the hyena could turn into a human?"

As soon as these words came out, the monkeys and Tianpeng on the side couldn't help but be startled.

Grand Duke Gao was slightly startled and said with a wry smile: "Master, please don't amuse me. Demons are demons and humans are humans. How can a demon become a human being?"

"Do you still remember what Xuanzang just said about the six paths of reincarnation? As long as Gang Hye reincarnates, can he become a human?"

"This... even if he can be reincarnated, Cuilan will be old when he grows up. So what..."

"Tell him, I will give you as many flat peaches as you want! With the flat peaches here, how can you talk about getting old?" The monkey's voice rang in Xuanzang's mind.

"Please wait a moment, Taigong Gao." After saying this, Xuanzang turned around and walked towards his luggage. Under the gaze of everyone, he took out a flat peach from his luggage, turned around and walked towards Taigong Gao step by step.

Xiao Bailong was dumbfounded. He rushed forward to take back the peach, but was pulled back by the monkey. He used a magic technique to directly silence his voice, making it impossible for him to shout even if he wanted to.

Holding the flat peaches in both hands, Xuanzang walked step by step in front of Gao Taigong. Xuanzang said softly: "Has Taigong Gao ever heard of the flat peaches in the peach garden in heaven?"

"Flat... flat peach..." Looking at the huge peach, Gao Taigong was already so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Even though they are mortals, is there anyone who doesn’t know how precious flat peaches are?

Also surprised were Canopy and Nishang.

"Just one flat peach can extend your life by three hundred years." Xuanzang stretched out his hand and handed the flat peach to Taigong Gao, and said slowly: "I heard that Taigong Gao is old. This flat peach was originally given to us through thousands of hardships. I have been looking for you through all the hard work, and I am ready to get married and honor your old man."

Tianpeng looked at Xuanzang in surprise, unable to argue for a moment. Na Nishang also had a look of surprise.

Gao Taigong's eyes almost bulged out. There was no longer any fear in his eyes looking at the canopy, but instead there was more emotion and regret.

Staring at the flat peach, he stretched out his hand with slight trembling, but suddenly retracted the moment he touched the flat peach, shook his head and waved his hands: "You can't accept this flat peach, you can't accept it! If you haven't tied the knot, you can't accept the flat peach either!"

"We can still get married." Xuanzang handed the flat peach in his hand to Nishang and said with a smile: "Gang Xiang has such a deep love for Cuilan that there is no need for the poor monk to say more. The poor monk has a plan, this flat peach , please accept it for the time being, Taigong Gao. Later, we will find someone to send another one to Cuilan, the donor. In this way, you and your daughter will not have to worry about their longevity. And Gang Xiang will go west with us to do it. One thing that needs to be done is to return him a human body. By then, the lovers will finally get married, and the poor monk will have to congratulate Grand Duke Gao for recruiting a fairy son-in-law."

With that said, Xuanzang clasped his hands together and bowed to Taigong Gao.

"This this……"

This time, Grand Duke Gao hesitated.

Nishang looked at her father with a smile on her face, looking forward to it.

At this moment, Tianpeng looked shocked.

If he is just an ordinary monk, then this is obviously an eminent monk who has touched upon the teachings of Buddhism. How can he tell lies without changing his expression?

Before Tianpeng could figure out why Xuanzang could lie without changing his expression, he heard Gao Taigong frowning and whispering: "If it can be like this, that's not bad."

Hearing this, Xuanzang immediately turned to the canopy and asked softly: "Mr. Gao recognized that this method is feasible. Marshal, what do you think?" (To be continued ~^~)
