The Monkey King

Tianpeng's brows trembled slightly, and he glanced at the monkey with some displeasure.

He knew very well that the monkey was teasing him. At this moment, he didn't want to argue with the monkey. After just one glance, he turned away and looked into the distance.

The people around were still looking at the monkey quietly, even Kui Mulang. There was some shock in his eyes, as if he was afraid that the monkey would suddenly tell him that what he just said was a joke, and then pick up the stick and end his life with one blow.

Based on what he knew about monkeys, it was possible for monkeys to do this. This monkey's eccentricity is known to everyone.

There was silence.

Seeing that teasing the canopy was so boring, the monkey fell silent for a moment, looked at Kuimulang's stick, and said: "Okay, I agree with all your last wishes. You are right, and I am very satisfied. But... you said I can’t believe that you want to be a cow or a horse for me in your next life. Besides, you don’t know what kind of snake, insect, rat, or ant you want to be reincarnated into in your next life. You want to be a cow or a horse for me, but I don’t necessarily want it. . Calculated this way, I still have a small loss.”

Kui Mulang was slightly startled, and for a moment he didn't know what the monkey meant. The people around him were also confused.

Before anyone could react, Monkey touched his chin, pretended to think about it, and said, "How about this? Your life will be owed to me, and it will be deposited with you first. You don't have to wait for the next life. This For the rest of your life, you will work for me. To put it simply, I will take you under my wing."

As soon as these words came out, the people around him frowned and couldn't react for a while. Even Kui Mulang was a little confused.

Incorporation? What's going on?

He blinked. After thinking for a while in a daze, he raised his head and said: "Great Sage... I am a little one. I have sins in heaven, so I just want to..."

Before he finished speaking, the monkey waved his hand and said: "Ignore those things. Just think that you have been beaten to death by me. Your life is mine. Anyone who wants your life will naturally have to ask me for it." . Regardless of what is called a thief, anyone who dares to touch my things without my consent is a thief. Even if he is the Jade Emperor, I have to hit him with two sticks before I speak. Whether he can bear it or not depends on him Are your body bones strong enough?"

Said. He gave Jiaomu Jiao a meaningful look. He looked at the horned wood dragon like this. I was immediately confused.

Previously, they were still interceding for Kui Mulang, hoping to save Kui Mulang's life and hand it over to heaven. In the blink of an eye, Monkey changed his mind and not only let Kui Mulang go, but also wanted to punish him for committing a crime committed by heaven. Erase it altogether?

What's going on? Did this monkey suddenly become kind-hearted? Poaching a corner of heaven? Or is there any backup plan?

At this moment, Jiaomu Jiao's expression was extremely wonderful. For a moment, I didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Recalling the contents of the Jade Emperor's imperial decree, he quickly said: "Great Sage, Kui Mulang has committed a serious crime, and Your Majesty ordered us to come and arrest him. I'm afraid...it's not good for you, right?"

The monkey didn't speak, but looked at the Jiaomu Jiao quietly from the corner of his eyes, with the same smile as before.

After swallowing dryly, Jiaomu Jiao took a step forward and held his hand. He said with some anxiety: "Tian Tiao is the foundation for Heaven to govern the three realms. If Kuimulang's matter is not properly handled, it will be difficult for Heaven to control the immortals in the future. At that time, the immortals will hold priestly responsibilities, but they will come down to earth to do other things. Privately, if this happens, the three realms will be in chaos."

The monkey still didn't speak, still looking at the Jiaomu Jiao quietly from the corner of his eyes, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was slowly disappearing.

Jiaomu Jiao continued: "Great Sage, this matter involves a lot, please think twice. When the time comes, your Majesty will take the blame..."

At this point, Jiaomujiao said no more. The entire expression froze, because he suddenly noticed that there had been some subtle changes in the way the monkey looked at him.

It felt like a red-hot stone exposed in the air, cooling and turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tilting his head, the monkey pointed at him with the stick and said expressionlessly: "Say, keep talking."

He opened his mouth with a slight trembling, but in the end Jiaomu Jiao didn't say anything. He just slowly lowered his head and took a step back.

Those eyes never dared to look at the monkey again.

"Why don't you continue talking?" The monkey walked towards the Jiaomu Jiao. Canpeng quickly stood up and stopped in front of the monkey, whispering: "Don't mess around. He is the head of the twenty-eight stars after all. We The situation is not suitable for starting a dispute with the Heavenly Court."

The monkey stretched out a hand, pushed aside the canopy, and slowly walked towards the Jiaomu Jiao, saying leisurely: "If I can be killed, if the heavenly soldiers of heaven can defeat me, I think I am already dead. Countless times.”

As he spoke, he laughed, making Jiaomu Jiao's scalp tingle with laughter. The other twenty-six Star Lords were also a little panicked.

At this moment, Jiaomu Jiao really wanted to turn around and run away, because he knew very well who the so-called "Great Sage" in front of him was.

Although he has not experienced that war, the cause of the war is still a mystery to most people in the Three Realms. Even the Jade Emperor did not want to uncover the answer to this mystery, but some things cannot be false after all. .

Jiaomujiao is the title of a position. The previous Jiaomu Jiao was a human, and the current one is a Jiaomu Jiao. Why would Heavenly Court have no choice but to make an exception and recruit monsters to serve in Heavenly Court? Because in that battle, almost all the main forces in heaven were killed, and even the Taoist lineage in the mortal world suffered heavy losses.

Who killed him?

Everyone knows that this is the monkey in front of you.

The predecessor, Jiaomu Jiao, was captured by Huaguo Mountain before the war broke out. It is said that he was tortured and died in a miserable state, without even leaving his soul. The corpse was even thrown outside Nantianmen for demonstration.

Because of this, it has long been known to everyone in the Three Realms that this monkey is bound to retaliate. Whether it was the heaven that was hostile to him or the monsters on his side, they all knew that this monkey was extremely vindictive and had even reached a state of paranoia.

As the saying goes, "It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain." Monkey... is the kind of villain who cannot be offended.

Facing such a monkey, it is completely impossible to estimate his true thoughts. At this moment, Jiaomujiao was about to collapse.

He really wanted to run and ran a hundred times. But he knew he couldn't run away.

In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and stand.

The monkey on the other side looked contented. He walked slowly around the Jiaomu Jiao, occasionally raising his head and sighing, but did not say a word.

No one spoke, everyone just stayed silent. Only the monkey walked slowly and the flowers choked up occasionally.

Xuanzang is usually the most persuasive person. He didn't even speak at this time. Just stood quietly and watched silently.

The entire hillside was eerily silent.

A terrifying sense of depression pressed against the Jiaomu Jiao, making his feet weak. The morning wind blew across my face, giving me a biting cold feeling.

He was surprised to find that he was already sweating profusely.

A moment ago, he was thinking about Kui Mulang's problem, but now he needs to worry more about his own life.

There was no guarantee that the monkey wouldn't suddenly hit him on the head with a stick.

Does the monkey need a reason to kill him?

the answer is. unnecessary.

What Monkey said just now is right. If he could be killed, Heaven would have killed him long ago and would not have kept him to this day. The reason why he was kept was simply because Heaven had nothing to do with him.

If the Jiaomu Jiao dies here, will Heaven punish the monkey?

This is simply impossible. The known generals in heaven, no matter who leads the army, are like sheep falling into tiger's mouth.

After killing the Jiaomu Jiao, the monkey might not even need to apologize. The matter will be settled. This can be seen from the monkey knocking on the Nantian Gate.

At this moment, Jiaomu Jiao felt that his brain was in knots.

Coming here is a dead end.

The other twenty-six star kings floating in the air also felt the terrifying meaning in this, and they were all prepared. But instead of preparing for a fight, he was prepared to run away if there was any slight movement.

It just turned around twenty times slowly. The monkey suddenly slapped Jiaomu Jiao on the shoulder from behind.

This shot made everyone's hearts beat out of their chests.

Hearing a thump, the Jiaomu Jiao finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to his knees, kowtowed and shouted: "Great Sage, please spare your life!"

"Why spare your life? I didn't say I wanted to take your life." The monkey slowly walked to the Jiaomu Jiao, squatted down, and lifted the Jiaomu Jiao's chin with his fingers as if teasing the girl, and said leisurely: " But having said that, if I let you go back empty-handed, it won’t be easy for you to explain to the Jade Emperor, right?”

At this time, the two of them were very close. Jiaomu Jiao could even clearly see the down on the monkey's face and the bloodshot eyes.

His red eyes were trembling slightly. He still had no general demeanor. He even had no desire to resist.

He just swallowed dryly and whispered: "Whatever the Great Sage says, do it. Don't dare to disobey me. Your Majesty... Your Majesty will definitely... definitely have no objections."

"Where's Tian Tiao?"

"The rules of heaven are also made by people. There will always be mistakes and omissions... If it doesn't work, just change it."

As he spoke, he laughed in panic and looked around. The colleagues around him immediately understood and nodded quickly, forcing their smiles to agree.

They smiled and looked at the monkey carefully, their eyes widened and sweat dripping from their backs.

The monkey still had the same look on his face and didn't react at all.

That laugh ended abruptly at the end. The hillside was silent again.

After a long time, the corners of the monkey's mouth finally slowly raised.

Seeing that look that looked like a smile but not a smile, the generals present slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right." Monkey nodded, stood up slowly on his knees, turned around and left. Turning his back to Jiaomu Jiao, he sighed: "In that case, why don't you get out? Are you waiting for me to let you have breakfast?"

Hearing these words, all the heavenly generals felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They turned around and ran away one by one without waiting for Jiaomujiao's order. In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared. The horned wood dragon also quickly turned around and jumped into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

They really don't dare to stay in this place any longer.

Now, only Monkey and his party and Kuimulang's family were left on the hillside.

Kui Mulang quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I would like to thank the Great Sage for saving my life!"

The two children and Baihuaxi also followed his example and knelt down.

Walking step by step to the canopy, the monkey spread his hands and said: "Look, it's all solved. If you were willing to surrender to me back then, the result would be similar to this. Do you have any regrets?"

After that, he chuckled.

Tianpeng rolled his eyes at him and said: "What the Jiaomu Jiao said has its own truth. Besides, you are provoking Heavenly Court like this. Do you really think Heavenly Court is made of paper?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's made of paper or not, as long as I'm not made of paper. I won't be itchy if I have too many lice, and I won't worry if I have too many debts. Is there anyone in this world who has offended Heaven more deeply than me?"

"Why save him?"

"In a good mood, on a whim, willful? I don't know. Anyway, I suddenly remembered the time I persuaded you to surrender, and I suddenly wanted to save you." As he said that, the monkey reached out and patted the canopy, brushing against him. Then he passed by and walked towards Kui Mulang.

The whole family was still kneeling on the ground.

Xuanzang slowly closed his eyes and recited two sentences of "Amitabha" silently, not knowing what it meant.

Walking step by step in front of Kui Mulang, the monkey waved his hand and said: "Get up, don't kneel down. There seems to be fighting still going on in the city, you can clean up the mess by yourself." (To be continued~^~ )
