The Monkey King

"No, my wife is missing!"

When he shouted these words, Xiao Bailong's face was full of horror.

However, the audience didn't even react at all. They just looked at him quietly and sat motionless.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little strange.

Xiao Bailong looked at the monkey, then at Xuanzang, and then at the canopy. After a long while, he said with some surprise: "I said, my wife is missing... why didn't you respond?"

"What reaction do you want?" asked the monkey.

"You... you should at least be anxious."

"why?"

Xiao Bailong was speechless for a moment.

When asked like this, he really didn't know what to say.

why?

Frowning, Xiao Bailong held it in for a long time before whispering: "My wife is missing. It's such a big thing, why should I be anxious?"

"What I'm asking is why we should be anxious." Monkey said expressionlessly: "Don't you often run away from home? What happened to your wife running away from home once? Could it be that she has to wait for you at home all the time?"

"This is different!" Xiao Bailong suddenly screamed and shouted: "Every time she left before, if I was not around, she would at least leave me a letter. But not this time! Not only that, she even left the jade slip She didn’t even bring it with her! This...this means something happened to her!"

After all this shouting, Xiao Bailong still looked at everyone with a horrified expression, and the scene was still silent.

Monkey and Canopy frowned slightly. Looking at each other.

As if to emphasize the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Bailong shouted again: "I mean, something happened to my wife!"

After a while, the monkey asked softly: "Are there any signs of damage to your home?"

"No." Xiao Bailong shook his head.

"Why are you so anxious if that's not the case?" he said. The monkey took the diamond from his wrist, held it in his hand, injected spiritual power into it, and said softly: "Bai Su."

There was no movement.

Suddenly, the monkey's expression changed slightly, and he whispered softly: "Canopy."

Still no movement.

"Pig Gang Hyena."

This time there was movement, and the diamond dagger flickered slightly, shaking desperately. It seemed to want to break free from the monkey's hand and flew towards the canopy.

Everyone around looked at the monkey quietly.

The monkey raised his eyes and looked around at everyone. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and said softly: "Xuan Zang."

The diamond was still shaking desperately, this time in the direction of Xuanzang.

"Ao Lie."

Jingang Zhuo turned towards Xiao Bailong again.

"How's it going?" Tianpeng asked.

"It's strange, I can't sense the existence of Bai Su. I had the same behavior when I was looking for a roller blind before. What's going on? Is there anything that can block Vajra's perception? It shouldn't be, even Tathagata can't. Something." The monkey thought for a while and then said: "Li Jing."

The diamond is still shining slightly. But it stopped all movements and rested in the monkey's hand like an ordinary steel ring.

"Nezha."

Still no movement.

"Ao Tingxin."

Still no movement.

"Black Hair."

There was movement again, this time it was shaking violently in the direction of the black bear spirit.

After relaxing for a while, Monkey put King Kong Zhuo back on his wrist and said calmly: "I understand, King Kong Zhuo's range of perception has been reduced."

"It hasn't been repaired for hundreds of years. It's normal for the range of sensory magic weapons to decrease." Tianpeng said.

"Do you know about trimming?"

Tianpeng held the bamboo tube, took a sip of water and said: "I am a traveler like you, do you think I understand?"

Looking at the diamond on his wrist, Monkey frowned helplessly and said, "Hey. If I didn't find out earlier, I should have asked Zhen Yuanzi to help me at Wuzhuang Temple."

"You think too simplistically." Tianpeng raised his eyes lightly and said, "Basically all Taishang Laojun's magic weapons can only be repaired by himself. It's useless for you to find Zhen Yuanzi."

…

At this time, in a cave tens of thousands of miles away from this place. Bai Su was tied up with five flowers and tied to a huge pillar.

Wearing a blue Bagua Taoist robe and a high bun, the multi-eyed monster with white temples and one eye turned red paced back and forth in front of her with a gloomy face.

"Tell me! Why is your husband with the Great Sage?"

"Didn't I just say it?" Bai Su frowned and said, "He wanted to find me some flat peaches to extend my life, so he agreed to go west with the Great Sage."

"I'll give you another chance."

"It's the same if you give me a few chances. I'm telling the truth."

The multi-eyed monster stopped, slowly turned around, looked up at Bai Su and said, "Then let me ask you, why would the Great Sage want your husband to go west with him?"

"How do I know this?" Bai Su frowned deeper and deeper, staring closely at the empty ground in front of him, obviously angry, but helpless.

Although the rope that tied her was not a clever treasure, the problem was that her cultivation level was only so little. After all, she is a monster, but she does not belong to the kind of monster with particularly good qualifications. It should even be said that she belongs to the kind of monster with relatively bad qualifications. After more than six hundred years, even if you practice the Way of the Traveler, even if you have the relatively high-grade skills of the Dragon Palace, you are still only at the middle stage of the God Refining Realm, and a breakthrough is far away.

If not, knowing that Xiao Bailong had joined the westbound team, she would have rushed over to look for him. How could she still be waiting at home?

"Hehehehe." The multi-eyed monster stroked his long beard and said leisurely: "Your husband, Ao Lie, the third prince of Xihai, is only a golden immortal, and cannot even reach Taiyi Sanxian. Just such a person, Huaguoshan The great sage can have as many of his old men as he wants. Why use Ao Lie, who is on the most wanted list in heaven and has inextricable ties with the West Sea? He said that the great sage took the initiative to invite your husband to go west... Are you taking it for granted? Am I stupid?"

Bai Su turned away. Silent.

After staring at Bai Su for a long time, the multi-eyed monster took a deep breath, walked back and forth in the small cave, and said softly: "Let me change the question. Let me ask you, big Why did the Holy Master want to go west? What is the purpose of going west? That Lingshan. Why did the rumor spread that Xuanzang's flesh can make people immortal? Why did Zhen Yuanzi start to stir up trouble, and then why did he suddenly stop? You give me all these Come one by one. As long as you explain clearly, I will naturally let you go."

"You ask me how I know?"

"Your husband never told you?"

"No!"

"That's strange. Your husband suddenly said that he wanted to go west with the Great Sage, but you didn't ask him clearly?"

"I asked, but he doesn't know!"

"Then you didn't ask again?"

Bai Su pursed his lips. He scolded angrily: "How to ask? That heartless person. If you don't know, you don't know. If you ask again, you don't know! Aren't you also an old member of Huaguo Mountain? Why don't you ask your Great Sage yourself?"

"Hehehehe." Stroking the whisk in his hand, the multi-eyed monster laughed slowly, looked at Bai Suyouyou and sighed: "It seems that if I don't let you suffer a little, you won't tell the truth."

…

At this time, at Xiao Bailong's request. The canopy has made its way into his tiny yard.

There are only eight rooms in total, with three halls at the front and back, three of which are utility rooms and one is the kitchen. The canopy moved in and out like a detective, carefully examining all the clues from the remaining spiritual energy fluctuations to the tiny spider threads under the chair.

However, after spending most of the day, nothing was found.

Immediately afterwards, Canopy expanded the search area to the periphery of the house. Finally, he stopped in front of the small vegetable patch behind the house.

"How many people live here?"

"Just the two of us." Xiao Bailong replied.

"Who do you interact with on weekdays?"

"Basically, we don't have much contact with each other. My wife only has one or two friends who come to visit me occasionally."

Bowing down, Canpeng reached out and pushed aside the sweet potato leaves in the vegetable field. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed to a slit.

Xiao Bailong on the side said: "This vegetable field was created when this house was first built. At that time, Bai Su said that he wanted to live like an ordinary family. He wanted to farm his own crops, so he created a vegetable field. But... ...You said we all have magic, so why go to all the trouble of farming on our own? What do you want? It’s really not possible. Hunting in the woods is faster than farming. We quarreled several times over this... Later She was left to work alone, and later on, she just planted sweet potatoes...because sweet potatoes are easier to grow."

With that said, Xiao Bailong spread his hands and sighed helplessly.

Looking back at Xiao Bailong, Tianpeng gently opened the dense sweet potato leaves beside him with his fingers, revealing several weeds that had been uprooted and discarded directly in the field.

"What's the matter?"

"These grasses are not completely dry yet. You removed the weeds and just threw them into the fields?"

"Usually when weeding, I see her carrying a basket and throwing the weeds she pulled up into the basket."

Tianpeng thought for a moment, stood up slowly, and looked around in the vegetable field. After a while, he patted the dirt on his hands and wrote lightly: "Your wife was taken away by someone."

"Ah?" Xiao Bailong exclaimed.

Pointing to the vegetable field at his feet, Tianpeng said: "Look carefully, there are at least six kinds of footprints here, and they vary in size. I estimate that they should have been left a few days ago. These footprints only appear in the middle of the field. This shows that they fell from the sky while your wife was weeding. No matter the size or style, they don’t look like they were left by the heavenly army. They should belong to the demon clan.”

Before Tianpeng could finish speaking, Xiao Bailong was stunned.

Tianpeng patted Xiao Bailong's shoulder lightly and sighed softly: "The good news is that there are no traces of fighting here, and there is no particularly strong spiritual power left, which means that the two sides did not take action. At the very least... we can conclude that they I just wanted to hijack him, I didn’t mean to kill him.”

After saying that, Canpeng turned and walked away, leaving Xiao Bailong standing there blankly, with a look of horror on his face.

"Being kidnapped?"

It's not the heavenly army, it's the demon clan... At this moment, the first person that pops up in his mind is his father, the Dragon King of the West Sea.

For so many years, people in Xihai have known that he lives here, and this marriage, Xihai Dragon Palace, and even the whole world have always opposed it. However, it has been more than 600 years. If it was to be hijacked, shouldn’t it have been done long ago? Why wait until now to take action? This shouldn't be the case.

But if it wasn’t the West Sea Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Army that was always looking for them, who would it be?

The couple lives here, and they don't have any grudges with anyone on weekdays. Even among the monster factions, the relationship with Lu Liuguai's faction is not bad.

For a moment, Xiao Bailong really couldn't understand. (To be continued ~^~)
