The Monkey King

At this time, the news of this shocking battle that took place in Hezhou, Xiniu, had spread like snowflakes to the three realms through the thousands of monks living in Wanshou City, and through the patrolling generals in the sky.

Inside the Nantian Gate, there were heavy soldiers and hundreds of thousands of troops waiting for them.

In the Imperial Study Room, the Jade Emperor's heart was already in his throat. One after another, he urged the Xuntian Mansion to find out the situation, and repeatedly urged the House of Internal Affairs to contact Sanqing and Subhuti.

However, there was almost no news.

Faintly, the Jade Emperor felt that the dragon chair he had been sitting on for more than six hundred years was a little unstable. Looking around, all the civil and military immortals in the dynasty were obedient, and no one could make up their minds.

what on earth is it? Didn’t all his requirements be met before? Why did the demon monkey suddenly become angry again?

Is it because it was given late last time?

No, when Li Jing came back, he said that the demon monkey had asked him to find the absconding general. If he wanted to fall out, he should have done so by then. Why did he wait until now? The Jade Emperor was puzzled.

If you encounter an ordinary matter, as long as there is no sign that the other party is targeting heaven, you can just put it aside and there is no need to worry. But you have to know that the blood of the previous Jade Emperor more than 600 years ago has not yet dried. Now that the demon monkey is doing this, how can Zhang Bairen feel relieved?

Looking at the group of civil and military immortals in front of him who had their heads buried low, the Jade Emperor gritted his teeth and whispered to Li Jing beside him: "Is it possible that if this monster monkey takes a step forward, I have to take a step back?"

Li Jing lowered his head. no answer.

As the veteran figure in charge of the Heavenly Army, Li Jing remained silent, and the remaining dozen or so important Heavenly Ministers were even more silent.

It is difficult to be an emperor, and the Jade Emperor in heaven is even more difficult to be king. At this moment. This has long been known to everyone in heaven.

After glaring at the immortals present and glancing back and forth for several rounds, the Jade Emperor slapped the dragon table with his palm, pointed at the immortals and angrily shouted: "If you have any idea, tell me, whether it's good or not, tell me! You can say anything today, but you are not allowed not to speak! If you want... whoever wants to remain silent, just leave them all to me. I don’t have the guts to charge into battle. I can’t make suggestions, so what use are you?”

After being scolded, all the immortals present looked at each other in shock.

After a long time, the longevity prince said solemnly: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, we should first find out what happened and then make a decision."

"Get it clear?" The Jade Emperor snorted coldly. Said: "I have issued twelve imperial edicts to the Xantian Mansion. Look what those cowards have done. They don't even dare to come close to investigate. If they really start a fight, do you expect them to guard the heaven?"

The Jade Emperor almost roared out these words through gritted teeth, almost flipping the table over.

The fifteen heavenly officials present lowered their heads, and no one dared to say a word.

"Report——!"

At this moment, a heavenly soldier hurried in from outside the door, knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Xuntian Mansion is playing quickly. The war at Wanshou Mountain has ceased."

"Ah? Has it stopped?" The generals of the Xian family couldn't help but look at the soldiers.

The Jade Emperor stood up slowly, pointed at the soldiers that day and said sternly: "What happened? Report it quickly!"

The soldier cupped his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, a person has appeared on the side of the demon monkey and is negotiating with Zhen Yuanzi. That person seems to be... it seems to be..."

"who?"

Tian Bing bowed and said cautiously: "According to the more senior Tian General present, that man seems to be the reincarnation of Tian Peng, the former Tianhe navy general."

At this statement, all the immortals present could not help but be stunned and looked at each other in confusion.

"Marshal Tianpeng...what's going on?"

Even the Jade Emperor was a little confused, his eyes turning back and forth.

"Tan..." After a short silence, the Jade Emperor pointed at the soldiers in the sky with a slight trembling, and shouted: "Tang again! Tantan again! Tantan again -! Please figure out the situation for me!"

With a roar, the Jade Emperor raised his hand and threw the paperweight on the dragon table. That day, the soldier was so frightened that he ran out of the royal study room, crawling and running, and even forgot to say "received the order".

…

At this moment, thousands of miles away from Wanshou Mountain, Lu Liuguai had gathered his troops and prepared to attack Wanshou Mountain.

At the same time, the Bull Demon King, who is in Hezhou, Xiniu and is closer to the monkey, has been stunned by the sudden news.

He pretended to be calm and sat on his throne, but he continued to send spies towards Wanshou Mountain. The anxious look was clearly visible on his face.

what on earth is it? Did the Great Sage and Zhen Yuanzi go to war? What's going on between them? Could it be a continuation of the old grudges from six hundred years ago?

If so, will everything that happened six hundred years ago happen again?

With limited information, the Bull Demon King did not have a clear understanding of all this. However, the most important question for him... should he choose a side now?

Regarding this question, he was equally uneasy and had no answer, so he was undecided.

"Father, there is no need to worry. I think this is a good opportunity." Among the demon generals, Red Boy stepped out and cupped his hands and said: "If the demon monkey wins, we will take advantage of the opportunity to appear, although it is late. , but it can be regarded as having the intention to save the enemy. If the demon monkey is at a disadvantage, we will continue to stand still. If we lose this time, the demon monkey must be beyond redemption, which will just solve our current predicament. "

Many new generals present heard this and nodded in approval. The other group of veteran generals just remained silent.

Glancing at his son, the Bull Demon King said coldly: "Who do you think the Great Sage is? The rescue is too late? Huh, will he believe this? It's too late, it's too late. If you don't go in the first place, Even if he wins, he must not show up. Otherwise, he will be killed on the spot and sacrificed to the flag."

"How is this possible?" Hong Hai'er looked stunned at first, then smiled and said: "He killed his ministers just because of delay. How can he explain to the thousands of soldiers who are loyal to him? How can he convince the generals? ? In this way, those who have not taken action will be determined to fight back to the end! The gain outweighs the loss."

"My father has already said that you don't understand the Great Sage, so don't use common sense to infer his considerations." Rubbing his temples impatiently, the Bull Demon King replied casually: "Does he need to explain to you? This is enough for me to ask you. Does he need to explain to you? Does he want you to surrender? "

This sentence choked Honghai'er on the spot. Look back. He found that the most senior demon generals under his father were all looking at him with helpless eyes, as if they were looking at an ignorant child.

For a moment, Hong Boy's face turned red.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally had to return to the queue in embarrassment, his head lowered, but his fists were always clenched tightly.

…

But just when the Bull Demon King faction was still hesitant. The water surface of Bibotan not far away has been broken by a large number of heavy warships.

It was the black fleet that covered the sky and the sun. The canvas hung on it was in tatters, with the black nine-headed beast flag flying, and it looked like pirate ships from a distance. The armor of the ship's hull was polished brightly.

On the deck, among the group of aquatic monsters, Hydra stood quietly in an old military uniform, frowning and staring ahead.

Princess Wan Sheng on the side said softly: "I'm afraid it won't be of much use if we all come out. After all, the opponent is Zhen Yuanzi. In a battle of this level, how can an ordinary fleet intervene?"

"You don't understand." The Nine-Headed Insect shook his head, pursed his lips and said: "This is an opportunity, an opportunity to express your stance, and an opportunity to atone for your sins. Bring all the troops and express your surrender to the Great Sage. Missed this opportunity Once, I don’t know when it will be next time.”

On the edge of the lake, a woodcutter in tattered clothes looked at the battleship in the sky slowly retreating into the trees. He transformed into a general wearing silver armor. He took out a jade slip from his waist and put it to his lips.

…

"Report——!" A heavenly soldier rushed into the main hall of Nantianmen. He knelt down in front of Li Jing and said loudly: "Report to the King of Heaven, our spies have come to report that the demon army of Bibo Pond has come out in full force and is heading towards Longevity Mountain!"

After saying this, Li Jing suddenly felt that his scalp was numb.

Does this mean a large gathering of monsters? All over the world, the demon clan forces gathered together again...

"Bibotan is dispatched. Lu Liuguai of Liyun Mountain is also dispatched. Where is the Lion and Camel Kingdom? Is there any movement among the Peng Demon King, Lion Camel King, and Hell Tamarin King? Does Buddhism have any intention of taking action? Also? That multi-eyed monster..."

The soldier raised his head slightly and said, "All military forces in the Lion and Camel Kingdom have been on alert for a long time, and there are no new actions for the time being. There is no movement in Buddhism, and the whereabouts of the multi-eyed monster is unknown. But there is still something abnormal in one place."

"Where?" Li Jing asked quickly.

That day the soldier whispered: "Kunlun Mountain."

With this statement, all the generals present could not help but fall silent.

They already knew about the monkey, and they all participated in concealing it. How could they not know how big of a stir it would create once it was made public?

Now, it's just a "double incident".

After a long time, King Dhrita asked softly: "What's the situation in Kunlun Mountain now?"

That day Binggan swallowed his saliva and said: "Kunlun Taoist disciples gathered in Jinguang Cave, saying that they wanted Master Taiyi to take measures... However, Master Taiyi avoided seeing him, and the Taoist disciple at the door said that Master Taiyi was not in Kunlun. Mountain."

The generals present looked at each other, and for a long time, no one said anything.

…

At this time, a large number of monks had withdrawn from Wanshou City at the foot of Wanshou Mountain to dozens of miles away. The entire Wanshou Mountain boundary had been devastated.

Among the high-altitude clouds, the hurried Taiyi master hid his spiritual power fluctuations and quietly watched the entire battlefield. His eyes finally fell on Xuanzang in the ruins of Wuzhuang Temple, but he never took any action. It seemed that What are you still waiting for silently?

The monkey floated in the air and watched from a distance, still not getting rid of his fighting posture.

After changing back to his original cloth, the canopy slowly fell in front of Zhen Yuanzi, bowed and held his hands in his hands: "Canopy, see the Great Immortal Wanshou."

Looking at Tianpeng, Zhen Yuanzi frowned tightly. After a while, he asked with some confusion: "Are you really Marshal Tianpeng?"

Canopy raised his hand again and said, "That's right. We've been apart for nearly eight hundred years, and the Great Immortal Wanshou came to you in good health."

"Is this your true body?"

Canopy slowly shook his head.

After staring at the canopy for a long time, Zhen Yuanzi sighed lightly, removed the four extra arms on his body, and said with a helpless smile: "Pindao heard that you fell into the animal realm... This result is not far from what Pindao originally estimated. , but why are you with this monster monkey? You and him must have an sworn hatred."

"It's a long story." Looking up, Tianpeng took a deep breath and said softly: "Tianpeng would like to thank Immortal Wanshou for his kindness that day. In addition, Tianpeng would like to ask Immortal Wanshou for his kindness. , release Master Xuanzang."

"Impossible!" Zhen Yuanzi immediately waved his sleeves and said sternly: "If Xuanzang attains Taoism, he will become a serious problem for Taoism. How can a poor Taoist be regarded as a sinner through the ages? I cut off the connection with the demon king that day because I admire you. This person has given you enough face. Pindao has already put life and death aside for today's matter. How could he change just because of your few words? If you still think about the old relationship, please ask the marshal to stand aside and stop intervening in this matter. !”

After saying this, the monkey couldn't help but raise his head and slightly tighten the golden hoop in his hand to prepare for another fight.

Taiyi Zhenren who was high in the sky also secretly exercised his spiritual power.

Another battle seems inevitable. But what impact will such a battle have? Even Master Taiyi doesn't know this.

Canpeng looked back at the monkey, then looked down at Xuanzang and others among the ruins of Wuzhuang Temple.

At this time, the effectiveness of the ginseng fruit had become more and more powerful. Xuanzang had reached a state where he could only stand with help. There was no trace of blood on his face. He could only open his eyes in vain and look at the ginseng fruit standing in the distance. Zhen Yuanzi on the tree could not say a word.

Zhen Yuanzi turned his face sideways, stroking his long beard and sighed: "The poor Taoist does not have to harm him. As long as he is willing to become a Buddha immediately, or abandon the Buddha and follow the Tao, then all the problems will naturally be solved. If he persists If he goes west, he is asking for it, and there is nothing I can do about it. If you ask for mercy, you might as well ask for it yourself."

The little crystals floating from the ginseng fruit tree fell to the ground, and the leaves swayed gently in the wind.

Xuanzang, supported by Xiao Bailong, gritted his teeth and stood with difficulty.

Drops of cold sweat fell from his forehead, but he showed no intention of letting go.

Others may not understand, but Tianpeng understands.

For Zhen Yuanzi, Taoism is more important than his life, because it is his belief. For Xuanzang, Purdue is also more important than his life, because it is also his belief.

What lies before us is a battle of faith. But true faith cannot be compromised.

Slowly, Tianpeng looked at Zhen Yuanzi, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "I am interceding not only for Master Xuanzang, but also for Xingxing, and even more for the sentient beings in the three realms. I also ask the Great Immortal Wanshou to raise your noble hand."

Zhen Yuanzi turned his face away from the canopy.

In desperation, Tianpeng pursed his lips and slowly closed his eyes.

Under the moonlight, his figure slowly swelled, growing a long nose and fan-like ears... In front of everyone, he transformed into the thing he had always been most unacceptable to, his own real body.

Even Zhen Yuanzi was slightly stunned.

He knew that Tianpeng fell into the animal realm, but he never thought that Tianpeng would become a pig demon, let alone that Tianpeng would transform into his true form in front of him. (To be continued ~^~)
