The Monkey King

"As the saying goes, kindness does not lead soldiers, love does not establish affairs, justice does not manage finances, kindness..." Li Jing raised his head and glanced at the canopy from a distance, reached out and patted the roller curtain's shoulder, and sighed: "You can't be an official. . The same is true in heaven, and the same is true in the mortal world. This is a rule that even the mighty can’t change. Since it can’t be changed...it’s natural to abide by it.”

"Good people...can't be officials?"

Hearing this, Roller Blind was in a trance.

Tianpeng frowned slightly, but his expression was as usual.

"No more, no more. If you say too much, it will be bad." Li Jing smiled, turned to the monkey and cupped his hands and said: "Great Sage, the general's affairs have been completed. It’s time to return to heaven.”

The monkey glanced at the canopy and roller blinds, and said leisurely: "Don't you want to talk to them more?"

"No." Li Jingqian smiled and said: "Both of you are the best among men. I think you should understand what Li Jing said."

The monkey nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Then, I would like to thank King Li Tian for helping me this time. Although it is the order from the Jade Emperor, I, Sun Wukong, remember your affection."

Hearing this, Li Jing was flattered and quickly bowed his head and said, "I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it."

"Then, I'll give it to you."

"Great Sage, please stay. Li Jing will leave first."

After saying that, Li Jing bowed and took a few steps back, then cupped his hands towards Xuanzang, the canopy, and the roller blinds, turned around and jumped into the air. After a moment, he had disappeared without a trace.

On the lake, many fishing boats have begun to get busy. On the shore, the refugees had dispersed, leaving only a guard guarding Xuanzang and others.

Roller Blind is still thinking about something in a daze. Canopy stood expressionless.

Looking from a distance, the monkey saw Qingxin standing alone a hundred feet away.

She had been following her all this way, so the monkey must have known. But what does she want to do if she follows him?

"Great Sage. What are you thinking about?" Following the monkey's gaze, Ao Lie soon saw Qing Xin and couldn't help but be startled.

"The Jade Emperor appointed her an emissary, saying he would be responsible for matters related to me." The monkey touched his chin and said leisurely: "I was thinking, I was so polite to Li Jing just now, and he went back to report it to the Jade Emperor. Will she be removed from her position and replaced by Li Jing?"

"People from Xianyue Sanxing Cave go to heaven to serve? This is something new."

The monkey snorted coldly. Said: "God knows what the hell this woman is planning."

After saying that, the monkey rolled his eyes at Qingxin from a distance.

Suddenly, Qingxin's face turned red.

The monkey also lowered his voice due to the distance, but Qingxin can read lips, so he naturally knew what the monkey said. The most important thing is that the monkey said the word "mother-in-law" very slowly. This was obviously intended to let her know.

At this moment, Qing Xin felt like she really wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into, but from beginning to end, she didn't move her feet even one step.

Looking at it, the monkey couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Xiao Bailong half-covered his mouth and whispered: "Could she be sent by someone to sabotage the Buddhist scriptures?"

"Who do you mean?"

"Um... I mean, your master, Subhuti."

Hearing this, the monkey immediately laughed. Said: "I believe anyone in this world who tries to sabotage Buddhist scriptures, but I don't believe he is the only one who tries to sabotage it."

After that, the monkey shook his head, turned and walked away, leaving the little white dragon standing there with a puzzled face.

By now. The monkey no longer had the slightest sense of trust in the master, but he would never doubt that Subhuti would send Qingxin to sabotage the Buddhist scriptures.

The truth of many things has now been revealed, and the monkey naturally knows in his heart what Subhuti did in the Xianyue Sanxing Cave, and what the purpose of concealing the identity of the wind chime was.

Tathagata was the initiator of what happened more than 600 years ago, so how could Subhuti not be aiding the evil deeds? If we really want to talk about it, both of them are the masterminds behind the scenes, and they are both enemies who play with themselves in the applause. The difference is just that the ultimate goal is different.

Most of the time, this is something that monkeys don't want to mention.

For the sake of Jin Chanzi's enlightenment, Subhuti helped Tathagata set up a trap, but in the end, he really followed his wishes and embarked on this road to the west. I have to say that my master is the best chess player in the world.

What's worse is that he happens to be his master, so killing him... Monkey really can't do this.

Forgetting some things may be the only way out.

Thinking about it, the monkey couldn't help but laugh at himself: "The killing god of heaven and earth who dominates the three realms is actually just a strong man on the outside. Once he hits his weak spot, he is nothing."

"What?" Roller Blind looked at the monkey in confusion.

"Nothing, you must have made up your mind to go west with me, right?"

Juan Yan stood blankly for a while and said softly: "Don't worry, since Juan Yan has promised, he will do it no matter what."

The monkey pursed his lips and nodded.

Not long after, the sky was gray and it began to rain. The sparse rain turned the ground into mud.

In the light rain, the hungry refugees were still tossing around the lake, showing no intention of taking shelter from the rain.

The group of people walked back slowly.

The crisis was completely resolved at once. The soldiers, generals and several ministers who followed him breathed a sigh of relief, and there was rare laughter along the way. The roller blind was the complete opposite. It seemed that he was even more silent than before, with his brows furrowed tightly, as if he was still thinking about the last words Li Jing said.

Not only the roller blinds, Xuanzang, Canopy, and the monkeys were all silent. This made the talkative little white dragon feel uncomfortable all over, so he had no choice but to rub himself against the black bear spirit.

After returning to the royal capital, Juan Yan began to prepare for the succession. He carefully selected a few ministers who he thought were more suitable to succeed the throne, and repeatedly consulted Tianpeng, Xuanzang, and Monkey for their opinions. After struggling for several days, he finally decided on the candidates. However, the enthronement ceremony was only held hastily.

On the one hand, the Wuji Kingdom has already been severely weakened after such a struggle. On the other hand, the roller blind is not in the mood, and the successor does not dare to ask for anything.

Finish these. The affairs of Wuji Country are finally over.

On the day of departure, tens of thousands of people saw him off, but it was a pity that Xuanzang was sent off instead of a rolling curtain.

In the majestic scene, the dignified former king of Wuji Kingdom. In this way, he was completely reduced to a supporting role.

When I set foot on the westbound road, I always frowned and sighed, feeling as if I had been abandoned by the whole world. Fortunately, ten miles out of the capital, he met the new king and his civil and military officials waiting to see him off, and his expression became a little better.

After a brief farewell. Left the black chicken country. The group continued westward.

…

At this time, Huashan.

Under the soft sunshine, Centipede Master Wu Long was sitting on a stone chair in the yard leisurely reading a book and basking in the sun as usual.

A soldier in silver armor walked in from the door pushing a scholar whose hands were tied behind his back.

When he saw the two long beards on Wu Long's forehead, the scholar was startled. He quickly turned his head and asked, trembling: "This... this is..."

The soldier glanced at the scholar coldly and shouted: "Kneel down!"

Before the scholar could react. The soldier had already kicked him in the hip, forcing him to kneel to the ground with a thud. At this time, the scholar was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat, but he did not dare to cry out.

Wu Long put down the book in his hand and asked calmly: "Who is it?"

The soldier cupped his hands and said, "For the record, General Wu, I captured this by accident during the mountain patrol today. I haven't had time to ask more about it."

Wu Long looked at the scholar carefully, and the scholar suddenly trembled with fear.

The scholar looked pretty, about twenty years old, with his hair tied up in a high bun. He was wearing a gray cloth. There were no patches on the cloth that were common among poor people, but it was torn in several places. Judging from the marks, they should have been newly worn in the mountains. There was no time to repair them, and the whole person looked very embarrassed.

After guarding here for so many years, a mortal entered by mistake. It can be said that there are countless. However, it seems that it is rare to see a scholar in such a miserable state. In the wild mountains, those who come here are usually either medicine farmers or hunters. Even if they are a few tourists passing by by chance, they must have come prepared. The one in front of me is obviously none of the three.

Who would come to such a ghost place wearing a cloth robe that they usually wear at home?

Looking at it, Wu Long said casually: "Who are you, and what are you doing in Huashan? If you don't recruit me from the ground, you will never come back."

The scholar swallowed dryly and whispered: "My surname is Liu and my name is Yanchang. I live at the foot of Huashan Mountain. I come here... I come here... to collect medicine."

"Collecting medicine?"

At this moment, another soldier walked in from outside the door. When he saw Liu Yanchang, he was stunned: "Why are you here?"

Liu Yanchang quickly lowered his head.

"Do you know each other?" Wu Long lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

The soldier arched his head and said, "I don't think I know General Qi Zhen, I just met him while patrolling the mountains."

"When did it happen?"

"Two days ago, but I already ordered him to leave."

Wu Long pointed to the soldier who came in first and said, "I caught him while patrolling the mountain today."

Hearing this, the soldier who was advancing behind immediately looked at Liu Yanchang with a look of anger on his face. Liu Yanchang was so frightened that he quickly moved his body, lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Then... the medicine hasn't been collected yet, so... …So the little one came again.”

The soldier raised his hand and was about to strike. Liu Yanchang quickly reached out to block it. At this moment, Wu Long said leisurely from beside him: "Stop."

Suddenly, their movements froze.

The soldier glared at Liu Yanchang and said, "Didn't I tell you that you can't pick that medicine? Not to mention your inability to restrain a chicken. Even the most experienced medicine farmers can't climb that cliff!" "

"How will you know if you don't try?" Liu Yanchang raised his head and saw the soldier raising his hand to strike again. He was so frightened that he shrank back and looked at Wu Long cautiously.

After a moment of silence, Wu Long asked softly: "What medicine?"

No one answered.

Wu Long looked at Liu Yanchang and said in a slightly more serious tone: "I want to ask you what medicine you want."

"That's it!" Liu Yanchang quickly found a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, handed it to Wu Long with both hands, and said cautiously: "This is to treat the villain's old mother who is bedridden. The doctor said, it must be This medicine cannot be used. But the medicine farmer refused to come because he was afraid of the danger, and the young man was poor and could not afford much money... so... so he had to come by himself." (To be continued~^~)
