The Monkey King

In front of Huoyun Cave, the monkey stood quietly, looking at the father and son coldly.

The Bull Demon King banged his head and kowtowed one after another.

"Please, the Great Sage, spare my son's life! Please, the Great Sage, spare my son's life! Please, the Great Sage, spare my son's life!"

Xuanzang and his entourage watched from a distance without saying a word.

With a muffled sound, the ground was cracked, and drops of blood seeped out.

The red boy behind the monkey was so stunned.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Red Boy rolled around and passed by the monkey: "Dad, Dad! Don't do this! I beg you, don't do this!"

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to support his father, hoping to pull him up from the ground: "We don't ask him! The child can die, but he cannot die without dignity!"

"What do you know? What's the use of dignity? If you die, what will happen to your mother?" With a heavy swing, the Bull Demon King directly threw the red boy ten feet away, faced the monkey, and knocked hard again, and the blood flowed smoothly. Fainted along the track of the rock.

"Lao Niu only asks the Great Sage to spare my son's life. It was Lao Niu's fault that we withdrew the troops. It is also Lao Niu's fault that Huaguoshan has not been revived in recent years and that he has opposed Prime Minister Lu. As long as the Great Sage spares my son's life. Life, Lao Niu has given this life to the Great Sage. He will never resist! The magical weapons, men and horses accumulated over the past hundreds of years are also given to me. I will never keep them secretly! I just ask the Great Sage to spare my son's life! I just ask the Great Sage to spare my son’s life!”

The monkey still stood and watched without saying a word.

Looking at his father who kept kowtowing, the red boy fell to the ground and was completely stunned. His mouth dropped open. The tears flowed like a bursting dam.

This was a father he had never imagined.

"Dad, the kid is wrong, don't do this...please don't do this, okay? The kid knows it's wrong." He crawled toward the Bull Demon King bit by bit, crying and reaching out to drag his father.

I saw the Bull Demon King turn around. A heavy slap hit Hong Boy's face.

A crisp sound of "pop" slowly swayed through the mountains.

The monkey opened his eyes slightly, and Xuanzang frowned slightly.

The Bull Demon King gritted his teeth and glared at his son.

Hong Hai'er reached out to cover his slightly red and swollen face, stunned.

Ever since he was young, the Bull Demon King has never laid a hand on Red Boy. This slap immediately stunned Hong Boy.

Looking back at the monkey, the Bull Demon King got up from the ground. Clenched fists. The punch was caught off guard and hit Honghai'er hard in the abdomen.

With one blow, Red Boy's blood spurted out, and even Xuanzang in the distance was shocked.

"father……"

Pushing Red Boy to his knees, the Bull Demon King shouted loudly: "Unlock the spiritual protection!"

"father……"

"Untie!"

Hong Hai'er dispersed all the spiritual power in his body, closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth. Kneeling.

The Bull Demon King raised his fist and hit him hard on the back. This blow directly pushed Red Boy's entire body to the rocks on the ground.

For a moment, sand and gravel rolled.

"Get up——!" The Bull Demon King clenched his fists and gasped heavily.

"father……"

"I'll let you get up!"

Among the gravel, Red Boy stood up tremblingly and knelt down.

Blood seeped from his mouth and nose, dripping onto the sand.

"Great Sage." Looking back, the Bull Demon King cupped his hand. He said loudly: "Lao Niu will teach this traitor a lesson now and beat him until you are satisfied!"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and kicked Hong Boy hard.

Hong Hai'er's whole body was swept up like a dead leaf in autumn, rolled in the air, and then fell heavily, bringing up a burst of sand and gravel.

Gritting his teeth. Red Boy got up from the ground tremblingly, knelt down and blinked. The Bull Demon King hurriedly arrived again and struck hard again, and so on.

From the beginning to the end, Red Boy did not resist at all, nor did he scream or beg for mercy, nor did he use his spiritual power to resist the attack of the Bull Demon King.

He just gritted his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists, and endured, getting up from the ground and kneeling over and over again.

In the blink of an eye, Red Boy was dying and could no longer move.

However, the Bull Demon King has no intention of stopping yet.

Just when the Bull Demon King made up his mind and raised his fist again, the monkey held his wrist firmly from behind.

"stop fighting."

Looking back, the Bull Demon King saw the monkey looking at him expressionlessly. He quickly put down his raised fists, cupped his hands, and took a step back.

The monkey looked at the dying red boy lying on the ground and pursed his lips.

"Does it hurt?"

Hong Hai'er didn't say a word. The hand that was half buried in the rubble was loosened, and he seemed to have fainted.

"Does it hurt?" The monkey pointed at Red Boy and said, "Let me ask you, does it hurt if you hit him?"

The Bull Demon King looked up at the monkey, lost consciousness for a while, then quickly closed his eyes and nodded heavily.

"You are not a good commander. You fought badly in the battle at Shuangyu Mountain."

Slightly tightening his hands, the Bull Demon King stood quietly, bowed his body, closed his eyes tightly, and nodded heavily through gritted teeth.

"You are not a good ally. When something goes wrong, you abandon your allies for your own safety, and even add insult to injury."

The Bull Demon King nodded heavily.

"You are not a good big brother either. You haven't taken care of all the brothers. Now you dare to take ideas from your son."

The Bull Demon King nodded heavily.

"You are not a good subordinate yet. During the battle at Huaguoshan, you withdrew the troops without negotiating with Liuguai and the others. If nothing else, if you were here and dealt with it a little, maybe Dajiao could survive. He was following him all the way. my brother."

The Bull Demon King nodded heavily.

The monkey reached out and patted the Bull Demon King on the shoulder, sighing leisurely: "But you are indeed a good father. Although you have not taught your children well, you are indeed a good father."

After saying that, the monkey turned around and walked towards Xuanzang step by step with the golden hoop. He chuckled and said, "Actually, I really want to kill him. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. However, killing him in front of a good father His only son, I really can’t do this.”

Hearing this, the Bull Demon King burst into tears.

He fell to his knees with a "plop". He kowtowed heavily: "Old Niu thanks the Great Sage, Lao Niu thanks the Great Sage for his grace!"

"Forget what happened before. You are not a good subordinate, I am not a good boss, and everyone is not a good person. In fact... I don't have the face to argue with you. Don't be so timid all the time, Liuguai loves to show off. It’s a bit off, but he doesn’t mean any harm.” He turned his back to the Bull Demon King. Monkey waved his hand and said, "Let's forget about it. Take your son back to recover from his injuries. It won't be that easy next time."

"Old Niu thanked the Great Sage. If anything happens, the Great Sage will give you an order. No matter whether it is going up the mountain of swords or going down the frying pan, Lao Niu will never give up!"

The monkey looked back at him and said: "My oil pan. If you go down, you won't get any hot water. Just keep an eye on your brothers for me when you have time. Don't let them cause anything to me again." Things come up."

The Bull Demon King clasped his fists heavily and kowtowed: "Old Cow, I obey!"

After leaping across the cliff, the monkey led Xuanzang and his party and continued slowly to the west.

In front of the empty Fire Cloud Cave, only the Bull Demon King and the dying Red Boy were left.

Trembling slightly, he swept away the sand and gravel scattered on Hong Boy's body, bowed and picked him up.

"Dad... I'm sorry, my son... got into trouble..."

"It's okay. Just be alive, just be alive." The Bull Demon King held Red Boy close to his chest and whispered: "It's all my fault for doting on you too much. It's all my fault. When I was a little demon, I was so precarious that Now that life is getting better, I just want to give you the best things... and that’s how you developed your fearless character. It’s all your fault, dad.”

"Dad... I will definitely listen to you from now on."

"Stop talking, dad will take you back now to recover from your injuries."

"Well, thank you dad."

The red boy in his arms opened his eyes slightly and looked at his father. The tears kept flowing. After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a smile.

Turning around and flying into the air, the Bull Demon King held Red Boy in his arms and slowly moved towards his cave.

…

At this time, a small town outside Huashan.

After returning home in a daze, he cooked the medicine and served his old mother to drink it. Then Liu Yanchang sat in the dilapidated yard of his house and stared at the hairpin of the Third Holy Mother in a daze.

The words of the Xiao family uncle were always echoing in his mind.

Liu Yanchang is a scholar. In this era, scholars are the reserve army for officials. However, Liu Yanchang is not an outstanding scholar. If he had not been forced by his father with a wooden stick since childhood, he might have become a butcher or tailor now.

It is said that books have their own beauty, and books have their own houses of gold. Unfortunately, for Liu Yanchang, who is not good at reading and does not have a good family background, it will definitely not be his turn to become an official in this life. . As a result, Yan Ruyu and Golden House naturally do not exist. But there is another benefit of reading, which is to understand things. Liu Yanchang admits that he is not very good at reading, but he still knows how to calculate.

This request of the Third Holy Mother to fulfill the vow has something to do with it. This is almost a certainty.

Normally, Liu Yanchang would definitely keep a close eye on the stories about gods and ghosts, but this time he saw it with his own eyes, and Liu Yanchang couldn't help but not believe it.

The soldiers on that day said that Sun Wukong was the unmarried husband of the Third Holy Mother. Uncle Xiao said that Sun Wukong snatched the Third Holy Mother from the wedding of the Third Holy Mother and the scholar six hundred years ago. The scholar fell into the hands of the heavenly army, and his life and death are unknown since then.

These two things correspond one to one, indicating that they are both true.

On the other hand, the Third Holy Mother asked herself to find Sun Wukong. Listening to her tone, Sun Wukong would definitely sell her favor. From this point of view, the original "bridal robbery" was not necessarily really "bridal robbery". The so-called wedding was probably just a cover.

But, in that case, why not just take the hairpin and ask Sun Wukong to come to Huashan to save her? Shouldn't it be more effective for Sun Wukong to come in person than to accept him as a disciple and teach him for ten or eight years without knowing what he will teach?

Liu Yanchang couldn't figure it out. He really couldn't figure it out.

He doesn't understand the world of immortals. At this moment, he only understands one thing, that is, this Holy Mother is definitely not a kind person. If he makes a mistake... the scholar who was captured by the heaven and whose whereabouts are unknown will be a lesson for him.

"What should I do next? If I don't go, will something... happen?" Holding the hairpin, Liu Yanchang looked at a loss: "If I have something bad, my mother... by then, this disease will Aren't they all the same whether they are good or not? Isn't it like leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's mouth again?"

Thinking about it, he smiled helplessly.

At this moment, a child who was only five years old and covered in mud ran in from the door. When he saw Liu Yanchang, he shouted quickly: "Dad! They said you are back! Have you found the medicine for grandma?"

As he said that, the child hurriedly ran to Liu Yanchang, blinking at Liu Yanchang with his big eyes open.

Looking at his son, Liu Yanchang couldn't help but smile, reached out and touched his hair, and sighed softly: "I found the medicine, and the gods in the mountains promised to save grandma's life."

"Great!" Little Chenxiang screamed, dancing and shouting: "Grandma is saved! Grandma is saved!"

He ran into the back room and ran back quickly, blinking his eyes and whispering: "Dad, have you seen the gods?"

Liu Yanchang nodded slightly.

"Then, what do gods look like?"

"Just..." Liu Yanchang stretched out his hand and gestured. After thinking for a while, he didn't know how to express it.

"Is it like the temple?"

Liu Yanchang nodded casually.

"Wow! My dad has seen a god! I want to tell everyone-!"

There was another scream, and Chen Xiang was about to run out of the hospital, but Liu Yanchang forced him back. He made a silencing gesture and said, "This matter cannot be told."

"Why?" Chenxiang asked, blinking.

"Gods don't like people to harass them. Your father and I almost died there this time. If they know that your father and I come back and tell people everywhere, we will all die by then!"

Upon hearing the word "death", Xiao Chenxiang quickly covered her mouth, calmed down, and asked: "Then, they don't like people to harass them, so why are they willing to help us?"

Liu Yanchang swayed and replied expressionlessly: "Because your father agreed to worship another god as his teacher and then do something for them."

"Wow!" Little Chenxiang screamed again, and quickly covered her mouth, asking in a low voice: "Apprenticeship? Then... after you finish your studies, your father will also be a god?"

"That's right." Liu Yanchang replied casually.

Hearing this, Xiao Chenxiang was so excited that he couldn't help waving his hands and feet. After a while, he calmed down a little and whispered: "Dad, which god did they ask you to worship as your teacher?"

"Bear..." Liu Yanchang chirped a few times and said casually: "I worship a very powerful god, but I can't tell you which god to worship as my teacher for the time being."

"A very powerful god?"

"Yes, very powerful."

"Is Erlang Shen so powerful?"

"Yes, maybe even more powerful than him."

Listening, little Chenxiang's eyes were gleaming. He looked at his father longingly and said: "Dad, then...you will teach me when the time comes. When you finish learning, will you teach me? Let me Would you like to become a god too?"

Looking at Chen Xiang with an expectant look on his face, Liu Yanchang couldn't help but frown slightly. (To be continued ~^~)
