The Monkey King

Wu Long only glanced down at the withered yellow paper before handing it back.

Liu Yanchang took the paper with both hands, swallowed dryly, looked at Wu Long expectantly, squeezed out a flattering smile on his face, and said softly: "These gods are all powerful, and they are good gods who are grateful for the sufferings of the people. Among the little people, The old mother has been bedridden for many years, and now her life is on the verge of death. How about... how about God Lord help the little one to collect medicine and fulfill the little one's filial piety? "

Wu Long's face didn't even have the slightest expression.

Liu Yanchang quickly put away his flattering smile, blinked his eyes and said seriously: "In this way, the villain no longer has to risk going up the mountain, and there is no need to cause trouble to the gods. After returning, the villain's old mother was cured. , it will be a good talk. At that time, the villain will spread your deeds widely, build temples, and fill incense."

After saying that, Liu Yanchang chuckled and looked at Wu Long with wide eyes.

After a while, Wu Long stopped laughing, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Liu Yanchang as if he were an idiot.

The two soldiers standing behind Liu Yanchang also laughed.

For a moment, Liu Yanchang was a little confused.

The three people were still laughing, which made Liu Yanchang feel a little panicked, and big beads of sweat slowly fell from his forehead.

Helpless, he had no choice but to wipe off his sweat, bite the bullet and say with a shy face: "How many gods think that the villain is right?"

"It makes sense, it makes sense." A soldier gave a thumbs up to Liu Yanchang and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good idea. When you go back, we will publicize it like this. We will be busy in the future. Who has one at home? People with headaches and fevers come here to pick up medicine. Otherwise, we can just set up a stall here to sell medicine, and the business will definitely be prosperous."

Liu Yanchang's expression suddenly changed. He quickly shook his head and waved his hands and said: "The villain said it wrong, the villain said it wrong. As long as the gods help the villain, after returning, the villain will keep silent, keep silent! He will never let anyone disturb the innocence of the gods. build."

"What if I spill the beans?" Wu Long asked leisurely.

"No! Never!" Liu Yanchang quickly raised his three fingers as an oath.

Wu Long took a sip of tea, sighed lightly, and said nonchalantly: "The tone of a dead person is the tightest. Rather than collecting medicine for you, I think killing you directly is the best solution. That's it. What do you think of this idea?"

The two soldiers present immediately nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Liu Yanchang's face turned blue. He collapsed on the ground, looking at Wu Long in horror.

After a moment, he rushed over and hugged Wu Long's thigh and cried: "Shenjun, please have mercy! Divine Lord, please have mercy! I will go back this time and never come back again! I promise I will never come back again!"

Kicked away Liu Yanchang who was crying with snot and tears. Wu Long put the tea cup in his hand on the stone table and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are not monsters. If you really want to talk about it, we are still heavenly soldiers. Although I don't want to help you, I won't kill you. But... contentment Chang Le, there are some things that if you go too far and make us have murderous intentions, it will be difficult to explain."

Hear the words. Liu Yanchang nodded repeatedly, closed his mouth, and did not dare to say anything more.

Raising his hand, Wu Long was about to order the two soldiers to throw Liu Yanchang out of the Huashan boundary. At this moment, two maids came over from a distance, each holding a red plate in their hands. There are some simple dishes, fruits and vegetables, and water on the plate.

Seeing the two maids walking towards this side, Wu Long couldn't help but paused.

The two maids walked up to Wu Long and saluted.

"Going to deliver food to the Third Holy Mother?"

One of the maids, Fu Shen, replied: "It was sent today... This is what I got back yesterday."

Wu Long glanced at the plates in their hands and frowned slightly.

"Again, no grain of rice can enter even if there is no drop of water on it..."

"The Third Holy Mother has been like this since the Third Prince came last time. The Third Holy Mother is only at the God Refining Realm. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

"If this continues, we can only report it to the second master, who will handle it."

"Third Holy Mother, Second Master?" Liu Yanchang rolled his eyes and plucked up the courage to say, "Sir, the Three Holy Mothers you are talking about, is the Holy Mother of Huashan Yang Channa?"

Wu Long's eyes slowly tilted towards Liu Yanchang and hummed: "Why do you know so much? The more you know, the faster you will die. Come on, throw him out of the Huashan boundary."

"promise!"

In response, the two soldiers immediately walked towards Liu Yanchang, stretching out their hands to twist him out of Huashan.

Seeing this, Liu Yanchang dodged while shouting: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Divine Lord! Divine Lord! The Third Holy Mother does not want to eat, the little one has a way! The little one has a way!"

"What can I do?" Wu Long raised his hand to stop the two soldiers.

Liu Yanchang quickly knelt down and whispered: "If the little one can make the Third Holy Mother eat, will the Lord..."

"If you can make the Three Holy Mothers eat, not to mention the medicine, I will find all the elixirs for you to ensure that your old mother lives a long life."

"It's a deal!"

…

Not long after, Liu Yanchang was sent to the entrance of the cave.

Wu Long pointed at the cave and said: "The Third Holy Mother is inside. If we can let the Third Holy Mother eat as you said, everything can be easily discussed. If not..."

Speaking of this, Wu Long suddenly sneered twice, which scared Liu Yanchang into a cold sweat on the spot.

Looking at the pitch-black cave, Liu Yanchang suddenly felt like he was riding a tiger.

"Go ahead."

Taking a deep breath, rolling up his sleeves, and taking courage, Liu Yanchang took two steps forward, took one step back, looked back at Wu Long, and swallowed dryly.

"Go." Wu Long said expressionlessly, "Do you want me to carry you in?"

When things come to a close, a dead horse can only be used as a living horse doctor.

Liu Yanchang began to tiptoe toward the cave, walking very slowly.

After he completely entered the cave, the soldier standing next to Wu Long asked in a low voice: "General, just let him in like this? Do you want to follow him and have a look?"

Wu Long waved his hand and said: "Why are you following me? You don't know the character of the Third Holy Mother. Besides, are you afraid of something happening across the magic circle? It's best if you can really make the Third Holy Mother eat something. No, this It’s good for the scholar to vent his anger on the Three Holy Mothers.”

Said. Wu Long laughed.

…

At this time, Liu Yanchang had already walked through one-third of the long tunnel. Looking at the purple light in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a drum in his heart, and he regretted making this suggestion just now.

The Three Holy Mothers refer to Yang Chan, the Holy Mother of Huashan, the sister of Erlang God Yang Jian. Everyone in the outskirts of Huashan knows this. What Liu Yanchang originally thought was. The god outside is not easy to talk to. Maybe the Third Holy Mother will be easy to talk to. What if she really agreed to help him?

It's just a matter of picking a medicine. For a mortal, it may be as difficult as climbing to the sky, but for a flying god, it's not a problem at all.

But now thinking of Wu Long's words before entering the cave, he couldn't help but feel a little timid.

What if these three saints are even harder to talk to? Don’t forget that she has a reputation for being an ineffective god. The Holy Mother Temple on the top of Mount Huashan doesn’t even have a temple blessing. Only ruins have long been left.

Besides, why doesn't she eat? Did something happen? Bad mood? If you are really in a bad mood, what should you do if you have surgery on yourself?

"Hey... You shouldn't, you shouldn't speak hot-headedly without knowing anything. Mom, if the child can't go back, then..." He straightened up and looked back at where he came from. Lu, hesitating whether to go out and apologize to Wu Long.

"If you give up now...will you be killed directly?"

After much thought, Liu Yanchang couldn't think of a reason.

Not to mention anything else, just the few outside. It seems... different from the gods I heard about. What if I tried to save my life and walked back, but ended up losing my only chance of survival?

After thinking for a long time, Liu Yanchang finally gritted his teeth and continued walking in.

After walking for half an hour, he finally completed the entire tunnel.

When purple light illuminated his face, he saw a huge space. The flowing purple array shimmered like stars in the sky, reflecting everything purple.

In the middle, in the middle of the array, there are stone tables and chairs, a long stone bed, and all kinds of stone furniture.

A white figure was sitting on a stone chair, with his back facing him.

Suddenly, Liu Yanchang's feet gave way and he fell to his knees with a thump. There were three "bang, bang, bang" sounds.

This one must be the Three Holy Mothers.

Liu Yanchang didn't dare to raise his head, let alone look.

After waiting for a while, a voice reached his ears.

"who are you?"

It was a very hoarse voice. It sounded like a woman's voice just after crying, or like she hadn't spoken for a long time and suddenly spoke.

Without having time to think about it, Liu Yanchang quickly replied: "Little man, little man Liu Yanchang lives in Huashan."

"What are you doing here?"

"The villain...the villain is here to persuade the Third Holy Mother to eat."

Hearing this, Yang Chan immediately smiled.

The laughter gradually returned to its original timbre and fell into Liu Yanchang's ears, and he couldn't help but think about it.

With such a nice voice, how beautiful must that person be?

Come to think of it, at this moment when his life was at stake, he didn't have the guts to risk looking up.

"Wu Long, send a mortal to persuade me to eat... I really feel more alive and better."

Wu Long should be the name of the guy outside.

Liu Yanchang said cautiously: "Shangxian Wu Long promised the villain that as long as the villain can persuade the Third Holy Mother to eat, he will help the villain collect medicine to save my old mother who is sick in bed, so... so the villain implores the Third Holy Mother to eat. Holy Mother, eat a little and save my old mother’s life.”

After saying that, Liu Yanchang made three more "boom, boom, boom" noises. His forehead was bleeding from the knock, and he kept muttering in his mouth: "I beg for the Three Holy Mothers, I beg for the Three Holy Mothers."

"Oh. It's to save my mother. It's quite filial."

"Please ask the Third Holy Mother to fulfill the villain's filial piety!"

For a moment, the entire cave fell into silence again.

Liu Yanchang waited and waited, but couldn't wait for Yang Chan's reply. Just when he mustered up the courage to raise his head, he heard a few clear coughs and quickly lowered his head again.

"Third Holy Mother...are you feeling well?"

"After staying here for more than six hundred years, it is inevitable that I will feel a little uncomfortable."

Stayed for more than six hundred years? What's going on?

Liu Yanchang opened his mouth slightly and quickly closed it again.

This magical disease. It's better not to talk too much. The world of gods is not something that a mortal like me can understand.

After a while, Yang Chan asked softly: "Who else is there in your family? Is your father still here?"

"My father passed away five years ago. I still have Xiaoren's only son at home, his name is Chenxiang. He is just five years old this year."

"Only son? What about your wife?"

"The humble wife... The humble wife had a difficult time giving birth. She left only the villain and her infant son, who was not yet a month old, and then left."

"Oh." Yang Chan sighed lightly.

Then, there was another long silence.

Liu Yanchang's heart clenched into a ball.

This is also a god. Why is there such a big difference between the one inside and the one outside? The one outside doesn't look much different from a mortal, but the one inside speaks every sentence and is silent at every turn. What's going on?

for a long time. Liu Yanchang took deep breaths several times. Bracing his scalp, he mustered up the courage to say: "I beg the Third Holy Mother to help me. It is a great kindness that I will never forget. When I go back and cure my old mother's illness, I will definitely sell my property and hire someone to repair it." The Holy Mother Temple fulfills your wish!”

"What do I want from that temple?" Yang Chan asked softly.

"If you don't want a temple... If you don't want a temple, then incense... or whatever the Holy Mother wants. As long as the villain can do it, I will die without mercy!"

"whatever?"

"whatever!"

Hearing this, Yang Chan couldn't help but laugh.

"Many, many years ago, there was a person who said the same thing as you. I helped him realize all his wishes, and it took me a full year. However, when he wanted to fulfill his wish, he was so scared that he peed his pants, and he never returned his wish in the end. "

All your wishes came true and you still wet your pants in fear? What's going on?

For a while. Liu Yanchang couldn't understand either. Time waits for no one. Liu Yanchang swallowed dryly and said hurriedly: "The villain will never be like that man. Please believe in the villain! Third Holy Mother, filial piety comes first. As long as you can save my old mother's life, no matter what Whatever the Holy Mother wants, as long as the villain can do it, even if it takes his life, there will be no regrets!"

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, I want to go out."

Suddenly, Liu Yanchang understood.

These three Holy Mothers are really trapped here. Combined with what Wu Long said just now, he immediately understood who was the person who trapped her here...

After hesitating for a while, Liu Yanchang hesitated and said: "This... San Sheng Sheng, I'm afraid this villain can't do it. The god outside alone can easily kill the villain, let alone Erlang Shen. . What the villain just said... is something that is within the capabilities of a villain..."

Yang Chan smiled faintly and said slowly: "What is within one's power? What is something that is within one's power? What is something beyond one's power? I know a monkey, an ordinary monkey. For a promise, he can walk ten years. He traveled eight thousand miles to study under his master. For a promise, he could gather all the monsters in the world to fight back against heaven. For a promise... he could abandon his newlywed wife and destroy the world. You said, this is within his power, Or is it beyond your reach? It’s also a promise, so why do you just..."

At this point, Yang Chan said no more.

In the cave, there was endless silence again.

In the wording of that sentence, Liu Yanchang could vaguely smell a bitter and resentful flavor.

After a long time, Liu Yanchang said cautiously: "The villain has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"If the villain is wrong, please don't blame the villain."

"Say it."

Taking courage, Liu Yanchang said softly: "The monkey that the Three Holy Mothers are talking about must be referring to the Monkey King, the Monkey King, right? Although I am ignorant, I have heard the opera sing that Monkey King is the stone monkey conceived by heaven and earth. , How can your qualifications be compared to that of a mortal like a villain? Even if you travel a hundred and eight thousand miles, if the master you worship does not regard your qualifications, what should you do if you do not get a famous teacher? This is beyond the reach of a small man."

Yang Chan was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly and said, "It's easy to get a famous teacher."

Amid a "crackling" sound, a dazzling purple light flashed, and the ground in front of Liu Yanchang suddenly exploded with a "bang". The dust stirred up spreads like ripples.

He shrank back in fear.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, he saw a hairpin nailed deeply into the ground at the place where the explosion had just occurred.

Yang Chan said softly: "Take my hairpin and go to Sun Wukong. Just say, I want to learn from my master. Once you are done, come to Huashan to save me. Let's see if he accepts it or not." (To be continued~ ^~)
