The Monkey King

Upon hearing the monkey ask about his parents, Chenxiang immediately opened his eyes warily.

The small cloth shoes moved back a few steps until they were leaning against Que'er behind him, then they stopped.

"What's the matter?" Que'er leaned down and whispered in his ear.

Little Chenxiang opened her eyes wide and said cautiously: "He...why did he ask my parents?"

Hearing this, Monkey already frowned.

"Why, you can't tell anyone your parents' names yet?"

Chenxiang blinked her eyes blankly, her eyes full of hostility.

"Probably, Master Wukong scared him just now. After all, he is still a child."

Yu Yi silently brewed a cup of tea and pushed it aside, nodding towards Que'er.

Que'er silently returned the greeting and sat down on her knees.

Picking up the tea cup, Que'er said softly: "Didn't your master just say that? If the Great Sage wants to ask anything, just tell him."

"But...he asked my parents..."

"What's the matter with your parents? You don't think I want to do anything to your parents, do you?" Monkey put his hands on his thighs and looked at Chenxiang with a smile and said: "I said you kid, how old are you, how can you be so wary? Heavy? Come, tell Uncle Master, who are your parents' names and where do they live? Uncle Master will buy you some candies later."

That expression was no different from that of a child trafficker.

After saying that, the monkey reached out to touch Chen Xiang's face. Chen Xiang was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

Before the other two could react. The monkey had already reached out and sucked him back completely.

"Master, save me——! Save me——!"

In panic, Chen Xiang screamed.

Then, under the horrified gazes of the other two people, Monkey held Chenxiang's pulse gate with one hand. One hand grabbed his throat and pinned him to the ground.

There was a loud "bang" and the door opened.

Qing Xin came over dusty with her sword in hand. As soon as she entered the door and saw the monkey pressing Chenxiang to the ground, she was also stunned.

Yu Yi was so shocked that the tea cup in his hand fell with a clang, and the tea spilled all over the floor.

"Master...Master, save me..."

"You...what are you going to do?" After a brief moment of astonishment, Qingxin glared at the monkey and drew out his sword with a clang.

Que'er quickly spread his hands and stood between the two of them: "Put your sword away quickly, the Great Sage has no ill intentions."

"No harm?" Qingxin said across Que'er. He pointed his sword at the monkey and scolded: "You don't have any malice to treat agarwood like this? Do you think I don't have eyes?"

The spiritual power has begun to gather. Qingxin was very emotional, and her eyes were still red from crying just now.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Yu Yi quickly held the monkey's wrist and slowly shook his head: "Uncle Wukong..."

He raised his head and gave Qing Xin a cold look, then looked down at Chen Xiang, who was pressed to the floor by him and struggling, crying so hard that he couldn't breathe, and then looked back at Yu Yi. The monkey finally let go.

As soon as Chen Xiang let go, he rolled and crawled behind Qing Xin.

"Don't be afraid, the master is here." Putting down the sword, Qingxin comforted Chenxiang while glaring at the monkey.

The monkey spread his fingers and said expressionlessly: "I didn't do anything. I didn't hit him, and I didn't scold him. It was because he suddenly turned around and ran away that I took this step to restrain him."

Qingxin didn't believe anything Monkey said. He lowered his head and touched Chen Xiang's head and said: "Chen Xiang, be good and tell the master. What did this crazy monkey do to you? Don't be afraid, the master will make the decision for you."

"He...he asked me for my parents' names."

"Then what?"

"Then...then he grabbed my hand."

"Hey, hey, hey, please make it clear." The monkey pointed at Agarwood and shouted: "I only held your hand if you ran away. Why should I hold you if you don't run? Talk nonsense, or I will kill you little brat!"

After drinking this, Chenxiang was so frightened that she stopped choking, pursed her lips and looked at the monkey with wide eyes in horror. After a while. Chen Xiang cried "Wow" even harder.

Qingxin glared at the monkey fiercely, pulled Chenxiang and started to walk out.

Suddenly, the monkey slapped his palm on the floor. There was only a loud "bang" sound, and a huge reverse shield blocked Qingxin's way.

Qingxin stopped.

Behind him, the monkey said fiercely: "Stop, you can't leave until I finish asking all the questions I want to ask."

"Do you want to do something here?"

Yu Yi quickly ran to the monkey: "Uncle Wukong, please don't..."

"I know, don't worry. If you want to beat them, I will take them out and beat them again. I will never break your things." After saying that, the monkey slowly crossed his hands, looked at Qingxin and said: "Ask me about him The question has been answered, I don’t care where you want to go. Otherwise, even if the master comes out, you will never leave."

After putting down these cruel words, Qingxin still refused to give in. She just held Agarwood and faced the shield condensed by the monkey.

Yu Yi wiped his sweat helplessly.

…

In the hall of concentration, Subhuti raised his head slightly while stroking his long beard. After a while, his brows not only did not relax, but became even tighter.

…

In the main hall, the monkey looked at Agarwood, stretched out his hand and patted the floor beside him: "Come here and speak clearly. I'm just asking, and I will never do anything to you?"

Chen Xiang tightened her grip on Qing Xin's skirt.

Looking down at Chenxiang, Qingxin blinked and said, "Why are you asking his parents?"

"Don't worry about it, I'm going to ask anyway. If it doesn't work anymore, I can take him away. He still has no spiritual power at all. If you check his memory, you will know everything."

"What if I don't let you?"

"Then I'll have to do it forcefully."

Yu Yi wiped his sweat while looking back and forth at the two of them. Que'er simply said nothing. She didn't know what to say in this situation.

Monkey has never been a person who can be persuaded, and Qingxin's temper can be quite annoying. After all, these two people are the same.

Just keep at it. After a while, Qingxin slowly turned around and said coldly: "You can ask, but I must be there."

"Okay." Monkey spread his hands and said, "Anyway, it's not something that can't be known."

Hearing this, Yu Yi and Que'er looked at each other intentionally or unintentionally. He breathed a sigh of relief slowly.

I probably won't be able to fight now.

Holding Chenxiang's hand, Qingxin walked back step by step, and sat down on her knees, deliberately keeping a considerable distance from the monkey.

"Agarwood, tell him."

"master……"

"It's okay, tell him and it'll be okay."

I looked at the monkey warily for a long time. Chenxiang puffed out her mouth and whispered: "My father. His name is Liu Yanchang."

Upon hearing this name, the monkey's heart suddenly skipped a beat, his eyes widened and he shouted: "What about your mother?"

Chenxiang was so frightened that she backed away.

Qingxin hugged him.

"It's okay, tell him. Let's leave after that."

Chen Xiang nodded silently and said hesitantly: "My mother... I don't know my mother's name either."

"What? You don't know?" Monkey was stunned for a moment and said viciously: "How could you not know your mother's name?"

"I really don't know...my mother died early, and my father didn't tell me. How do I know?"

With a "wow" sound, Chenxiang started crying again.

"Your mother is... dead?" Monkey's eyes twitched slightly.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Chenxiang is good." Qingxin comforted Chenxiang and turned to ask, "Can we go?"

The monkey waved his hand gently and removed the shield. The eyes were as big as copper bells, wandering back and forth, as if they were thinking about something.

Holding agarwood in hand, Qingxin left without looking back.

After Qing Xin left, Yu Yi saw that the monkey didn't seem to have recovered, and asked softly: "Uncle Wukong is looking for Chen Xiang's parents, but what's the matter?"

"Nothing." Monkey reached out and touched his face. The eyes were still rolling.

He still has Yang Chan's hairpin on his body. If something really happened to Yang Chan, Erlangshen might not tell the monkey, but Qingxin would not let him accept Chenxiang as his disciple with the hairpin, and teach Chenxiang to rescue...

If you put it this way, Yang Chan cannot be Chen Xiang's mother.

In this way, the matter should be considered confirmed, but the hand that the monkey stretched out to hold the tea cup was clearly trembling slightly.

He took a sip and put down the tea cup. Yu Yi filled another cup for him.

"What is Master Wukong thinking?"

The monkey shook his head slowly.

People are so strange sometimes. After the thing they have always been afraid of is finally confirmed to be true, they are still suspicious and desperately trying to find loopholes.

Maybe...it's because this matter is so important to the monkey.

Watching the tea leaves floating on the water, the monkey just sat motionless.

After a while, the monkey looked up at the roof again, and looked down at the floor. His hands were crossed and uncrossed, uncrossed and folded again, and so on. That brow was frowning tightly from beginning to end.

With that restless look, even Yu Yi felt uncomfortable.

Just when Yu Yi was about to ask again, Monkey suddenly raised his head and asked: "Do you think... could it be that his mother is not dead, but his father lied to him and said that his mother was dead?"

Que'er and Yu Yi were both confused by this question.

…

In the hall of concentration, Subhuti stroked his long beard and smiled slowly.

Turning around, he quickly walked out of the palace door, turned into a white light and flew towards Huashan Mountain.

…

In Huashan Mountain, Yang Jian stood quietly in the cave reflected in purple light.

"He's out."

"I know." Yang Chan sat on the cold stone chair, looked at the empty stone surface, and nodded slightly.

"But he didn't say he was coming."

"I know."

"He... must have scruples." Yang Jian sighed softly: "I heard that he was escorting Jin Chanzi to the west and wanted to argue with Tathagata. If he wins the debate, Tathagata's Taoist heart will be broken."

The corners of Yang Chan's mouth raised slightly, but she couldn't form a smile.

"Would you like to go out?"

After being silent for a long time, Yang Chan shook her head slightly.

"I'll come see you next time. There has been some turmoil in the three realms recently because of his incident, and I have to deal with some preparation matters, which will be a bit busy."

Yang Chan didn't answer.

Yang Jian stared at his sister quietly for a while, then turned and left the cave.

In the huge cave, Yang Chan was alone again, accompanied by a long, endless wait. (To be continued ~^~)
