The Monkey King

On the long stone steps, Qingxin held Chenxiang's hand and walked up step by step. Not far away, Nezha still followed cautiously.

The flowers and plants along the way trembled slightly in the wind, and a caterpillar clung to the trunk of the tree, slowly twisting its body and looking for another place.

Qingxin looked back at Nezha with disdain. The other party stopped quickly, but his eyes were still full of hostility.

Lowering her head, Qingxin saw that little Chenxiang's face was red and she was panting. From time to time I would use my hands to support my knees.

"There is a magic circle on this mountain, so you can't fly around, you can only walk up it."

Chen Xiang nodded silently.

"Tired?"

Chenxiang shook her head violently.

"How about I hug you? Such a long journey is too strenuous for you."

Hearing this, Chenxiang raised her head and blinked at Qingxin. After a while, she still shook her head and whispered, "I can... I can walk."

Qingxin smiled faintly, led Chenxiang and stepped forward to continue climbing.

After walking for a short while, she sighed softly: "Actually, being a god is not as good as you think. Gods also have the troubles of gods. A person's happiness depends on the width of his heart. Even if he becomes a god, he will not be happy. It will be a penny more... Therefore, cultivating immortality is not necessarily a good thing."

When she said this, Qingxin smiled slowly.

This is what Subhuti said, but he did not say it to her, but eight hundred years ago, he said it to that woman who should not exist in heaven and earth.

I don’t know if it was done unintentionally. It was intentional, but in the end, this sentence became her "memory".

Holding Qing Xin's hand, Chen Xiang asked cautiously: "Then, why does sister cultivate immortality?"

"Because I have no choice. I was accepted as a disciple when I was born. Cultivating immortality is a natural thing, and even I don't know why."

"And such a good thing, why wasn't I born like my sister?"

"What did Chen Xiang originally want to do?"

Chen Xiang raised his head and thought for a moment, then clenched his fists and whispered: "Chen Xiang wants to be a general."

"Why do you want to be a general?"

"Because being a general has a horse to ride on. Uncle Xiao said that being a soldier doesn't have a horse to ride on. You have to be a general to have a horse."

"Have you ever ridden a horse?"

"I've never ridden a horse before." Chen Xiang slowly shook his head and pouted: "But every time I play horse riding and fight, I am always the horse... Chen Xiang also wants to ride a horse."

These words couldn't help but amuse Qing Xin. He reached out and rubbed his head.

"Mortals are so simple. Sometimes when I think about it, it's actually quite good to be a mortal." Qingxin sighed: "Actually, it's better to be a mortal than to be an immortal. Many mortals practice immortality. After all, apart from magic, they actually It’s the fear of death. Cultivation of immortality can lead to longevity, even immortality.”

Agarwood raised her head. A look of confusion.

Pursing her lips, Qingxin said leisurely: "Death is really not scary at all. When you die, you will be reincarnated. Once you are reincarnated, you will forget everything, and you can live again, meet new people, and live a new life. What is really scary is , are several lifetimes of memories stacked together, a mess that you can’t control if you want. You can’t sort it out, but you can’t turn a blind eye. Moreover, the life span has not ended yet, which means that if you don’t take action to end it, you will Haunting you forever.”

"Is this what being a god means?"

Qingxin shook her head and said: "Normal gods can't do it, only unlucky gods can. So my sister has to do something and put an end to it. Make certain two people give up."

"Then...is sister a normal god or an unlucky god?"

Qingxin was immediately confused by this question. After hesitating for a long time, he said with a smile: "Sister, I want to be a detached god. I don't care about the things in heaven, and I don't care about the things in the world. Anyway, I don't care about anything, just be quiet. You have to live your own life. You should do the same in the future, and never get involved in any personal affairs with your children. Do you understand?"

The more Chen Xiang listened, the more dizzy he became, but in the end he nodded slightly and said: "Chen Xiang understands, Chen Xiang will follow the master's teachings."

"Master? When did I agree to accept you as my disciple?"

"Sister, you promised Chenxiang on the way here!"

"I mean if the monkey doesn't accept you, I will accept you."

"Then I hope he won't accept me!" Chen Xiang replied decisively.

Qingxin chuckled, reached out and touched Chenxiang's head, and said softly: "According to what I know about him, he shouldn't accept you. However, I still have to go through the cutscene. I'll tell him the matter then. , show him the hairpin, he should go to Huashan without saying a word. How can I care about you? "

At this time, Chen Xiang was half-comprehensive, and Nezha, who was following far behind, was even more so.

"What does this Qingxin want to do?" Nezha stopped and touched his chin and thought carefully, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

Going forward, we have to enter the outer circle of Xianyue Sanxing Cave. Without notification, an outsider like him breaks in casually. Although there is no danger, it is not in line with etiquette.

Helpless, Nezha had no choice but to sit down on the spot with his legs crossed.

Not long after, Qing Xin and Chen Xiang had already reached the mountainside and saw the Taoist temple built against the mountain.

A bell sounded from the temple, echoing slowly in the mountains.

The Taoist disciple who was sweeping the floor at the door saw Qingxin and quickly bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Disciple pays homage to Master Qingxin's uncle."

As he said that, the Taoist disciple's eyes fell on Chen Xiang beside Qing Xin, and he was slightly startled.

Qingxin stopped in front of him and asked softly: "Why are the bells ringing at this time? What's going on in the temple?"

"It's nothing, the master is just giving a lecture."

"Oh." Hearing this, Qingxin nodded silently, took Agarwood across the threshold and continued walking inside.

Chen Xiang scratched his head and asked cautiously: "Sister, what did he call you just now?"

"Uncle Master."

"Master-uncle?"

"Yes. He is a disciple of Yu Yi, and Yu Yi is a disciple of senior brother Yi Yuan. When he sees me, he has to call me uncle. His disciples, don't they have to call me uncle?" Qingxin said with a smile: " From now on, whether you become my disciple or that monkey’s disciple, you will be his uncle."

Chenxiang wandered her eyes and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. She still looked confused. I guess I didn’t understand.

In terms of age. He is already very inspiring, but the terms seniority terms such as master uncle and master uncle are obviously too uncommon, and it is unlikely that ordinary people will hear them.

Today's Xianyue Sanxing Cave is still about the same size as before, but probably because its location is more remote than before, there are many fewer disciples. Walking all the way from the mountain gate, you have walked hundreds of feet. I didn’t see many disciples either.

certainly. The more important reason should be Yu Yi’s lecture today.

Subhuti has not given a lecture for hundreds of years. The only remaining disciples of the second generation are Qingxin and Monkey. Needless to say Monkey, Qingxin often goes to both sides of Tusita Palace and Xianyue Sanxing Cave. Nowadays, Yu Yi, who is the leader among the three generations of disciples, is the real leader here. Naturally, all the disciples flocked to his classes. Even some wandering immortal cultivators from nearby Taoist temple caves sometimes attend to listen.

After walking along the path through a purple bamboo forest, Qingxin finally returned to her residence, Jingxinyuan.

Although there is the word "yuan" in the name. It sounds big, but in fact it is just two bungalows with a small yard outside.

One of them is Qingxin's residence, and the other is Qingxin's main activity place in Xianyue Sanxing Cave. There is a small study room and a small alchemy room inside, which is more than enough for an immortal cultivator.

On weekdays, when I am away, this place is left to the disciples in the temple to take care of it.

She didn't feel much when she walked outside, but as soon as she stepped into Qingxin's residence, Chen Xiang was stunned.

He carefully took off his muddy shoes, but hesitated whether to take a step and cross the threshold.

"What's wrong?" Qingxin turned around and asked, "Why are you still standing outside?"

Chenxiang looked down at her dirty socks. He stretched his head and looked at the smooth floor inside, looking at Qingxin pitifully.

"How can you be so particular!" As soon as he stretched out his hand, Qingxin directly took Chenxiang in, nodded his nose and said with a smile: "You are so stingy, how can you be my Qingxin disciple?"

Chen Xiang blinked and said nothing.

At this moment, a person was hurriedly chasing behind him.

As soon as she entered the door, Yuxuan quickly bowed and cupped her hands and said, "Yuxuan comes to see Master Uncle Qingxin."

When I saw agarwood. She was also stunned.

Qingxin straightened up slowly.

"What's the matter?"

"Senior Brother Yu Yi heard that his uncle was back, so he specially asked his disciples to come over to see what his uncle had to do, and..."

"what else?"

"Also...Senior Brother Yu Yi asked his disciples to remind Uncle Master that Master is in Qianxin Hall."

Hearing this, Qingxin was stunned for a moment: "The old man said he wanted to see me?"

"I didn't say it...but Master told Senior Brother Yu Yi that if Uncle Master comes back, tell him that he is in Qianxin Hall."

"I understand." Qingxin nodded, took a deep breath, stretched out her hand to push Chenxiang forward, and said, "Do me a favor first. Help him take a bath and change into cleaner clothes."

Yuxuan nodded silently and stretched out her hand to pull Chenxiang. Chen Xiang quickly hid her hands behind her back.

"What's the matter?"

"Dad said that if men and women don't have sex, I... I'll wash it myself." Chenxiang whispered.

…

At this time, the monkeys' battle continued on the Blackwater River.

He had already used the magic of heaven and earth to transform into a giant several hundred feet high, and the river water could only reach his chest. Even without using any flying spells, it stands to reason that he could easily cross the river with the water flowing.

Unfortunately, the other party was obviously well prepared.

As soon as the monkey used the Law of Heaven and Earth, several raging waterspouts wrapped around him in an attempt to block his steps.

The monkey immediately waved his golden hoop and swept towards the waterspouts.

With one blow, several waterspouts were immediately shattered into pieces and turned into flying rain.

However, before the stick in his hand could hold the river bottom again, they grew out of the water again, and they could not get rid of them no matter what.

Gradually, the monkey fell into trouble and was struggling.

Normally, it would be quite easy for the monkey to break free, but the fault lies in his Dharma, Heaven, and Earth.

This technique has its pros and cons, and at this moment, it undoubtedly does more harm than good.

In desperation, the monkey simply gritted his teeth and threw the entire boat in his hand towards the other side!

The entire ship, along with the people on board, flew toward the other shore like meteors.

It was too late, but it was too fast. In this short moment, Tianpeng had already carried Xuanzang behind him and rushed towards the other side with the help of the monkey's strength.

But at this moment, a giant hand made of black water suddenly stretched out from the water.

Under the influence of the magic circle, the canopy was unable to change direction in the air for a while. In this short moment, the canopy and Xuanzang were firmly held by the giant hand and dragged into the bottom of the river!

For a moment, the monkey was dumbfounded.

Obviously, he underestimated the opponent's preparations... (To be continued ~^~)
