The Monkey King

In the imperial study, a heavenly general knelt on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Xuanzang has left Leiyin County."

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but frown slightly. After thinking carefully, he asked softly: "Did nothing happen?"

"No." The general who came to report shook his head and said, "Lingji Buddha ridiculed Xuanzang, and then... he left."

"You were ridiculed and then left?" The immortals in the imperial study couldn't help but look at each other.

An immortal asked in a low voice: "Then... where is the demon monkey?"

Tianjiang replied hesitantly: "He also left Leiyin County, and his destination... is unknown."

"Whereabouts unknown?"

"No way. I was ridiculed, but with the temper of that monster monkey, I can actually swallow this?"

"Is there any situation that we are not aware of? Perhaps...what else happened between the Monkey Monkey and the Buddha? For example, an agreement was reached and Lingji compromised?"

"It's impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Why is it impossible? Otherwise, tell me, what other possibility is there for that monster monkey to swallow this breath?"

"The demon monkey and the Buddhists have a sworn hatred. This is known to the whole world. How can there be room for compromise between them?"

"Who said that sending Xuanzang to the west was not a compromise? Isn't Jin Chanzi a Buddhist?"

"How can it be the same? Jin Chanzi and Tathagata are mortal enemies."

"Hey, doesn't that mean that the demon monkey hates the Tathagata, not the entire Buddhism. In this case, as long as it is not the Tathagata's instruction, it is not surprising that something has been achieved between the demon monkey and Lingji."

"You are using strong words to make sense!"

"How can this be arrogant? Buddhism is Buddhism, and Tathagata is Tathagata. How can we generalize?"

All the immortals were talking about it.

On the dragon chair, the Jade Emperor's eyes slowly narrowed into slits. He slowly turned to Li Jing who was standing aside, stroking his long beard and said softly: "Li Aiqing, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Li Jing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, we had previously guessed that something must have happened when Lingji Buddha appeared in Leiyin County and Xuanzang also arrived in Leiyin County. In the end, nothing happened. . I think this is a good thing, but it may...not be a good thing."

"Oh? Isn't that a good thing? Li Aiqing has no idea, but it doesn't matter."

Li Jing coughed twice and said softly: "First of all, it is impossible for that Lingji to appear in Leiyin County for no reason, just to ridicule Xuanzang..."

…

At this time, Lingji, who had just returned from Leiyin County, had climbed halfway up Lingshan Mountain and saw the pavilion and Puxian silently making tea in the pavilion.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The difference is that Puxian smiled lightly, but Lingji smiled helplessly.

"Is your trip in vain? It took a lot of effort to set up a trap, but Xuanzang didn't accept the move at all. In the end, he made himself look bad. We also need to find a new place for the people of Fengxian County to settle down."

After hearing this, Lingji immediately put away the bitter smile on his face, raised his head and said proudly: "Who said that? The merits of this humble monk's trip are huge!"

"Oh? How about merit?" Puxian smiled faintly again, reached out and poured a cup of tea, pushed it to the corner of the table, knocked on the stone bench beside him and said, "How about we sit down and talk."

"Just tell me!" After puffing up his sleeves, Lingji walked step by step to the stone bench and sat down. He pursed his lips and said with a proud look on his face: "On this trip, the poor monk easily split the westbound team!"

Hearing this, Pu Xian couldn't help but smile even more.

This smile actually made Lingji feel uncomfortable, Wen said angrily: "What? You still don't believe it?"

"Believe, believe, believe." Puxian nodded and smiled. His attitude made Lingji's brows frown tighter and tighter.

…

While the two were chatting on the mountainside of Lingshan Mountain, the monkey had already hurried to Xianyue Sanxing Cave and sat motionless in the Qianxin Hall.

That was where the six-eared macaque was sitting not long ago.

From a distance, anyone could tell by the serious expression on his face that he was coming with bad intentions.

"Master, Uncle Wukong has been waiting in the Qingxin Hall for quite some time."

"Tell him that the master is not here."

"He said he knew you were there, and if you refused to see him, he would keep waiting."

"Then just keep waiting." As he said that, Subhuti opened his sleeves and dropped a piece.

Looking at the black piece placed on the chessboard, Laojun couldn't help but click his tongue.

"What? Is this kid so funny?"

"This is definitely not funny, I am laughing at you." Laojun sighed: "Originally, if you stood still, this matter would have nothing to do with you, but you insist on provoking the six-eared macaque. That one had just left, and this one came to the door again. Fortunately, Liu Er is a newbie. Although he has a bad temper, at least he is relatively easy to fool. What about this one? What do you want to say to him? "

"Don't say anything." Subhuti replied expressionlessly: "After so many years, he has encountered many adversities along the way. He should know how to get through it."

"Really?" Lao Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up a piece, slowly dropped it on the chessboard, and said: "I think he doesn't know. Let alone him, I don't even know. Could it be... you know?"

Subhuti raised his head slightly and glanced at Laojun, without saying anything, and still lowered his head and stared at the chessboard carefully.

"I'm afraid you don't know, right?" Laojun slowly crossed his hands, looked at Subhuti meaningfully and said, "It's really rare that you don't know anything, and you dare to put all your bets on Jin Chan. With you as a close friend, Jin Chanzi will die without regrets."

Subhuti still didn't speak, just sat quietly, as if he hadn't heard.

Lao Jun pursed his lips and laughed softly: "However, you are willing to put all your bets on Jin Chanzi, but others may not be willing as well."

…

Walking into the hall, Monkey's hand holding his knees slowly tightened. As time passed, the anger in his expression became more and more obvious.

"Master hasn't come yet?"

"Master..." Yu Yi, who was standing by, hesitated and did not dare to say anything further.

Seeing this, the monkey raised his head and said sternly: "Let me know whether he is coming or not."

Having said that, Monkey's gaze slowly turned towards Yu Yi.

In desperation, Yu Yi could only lower his head and hesitantly said: "Otherwise, uncle, you should go back first."

"Ask the dead old man to come out and see me, and I'll go back."

"Uncle Wukong..."

"I said let him come out—!"

There was a roar, followed by a heavy punch on the floor, and for a moment, sawdust flew everywhere. A hole had been made by a monkey on the originally smooth floor.

He grinned, showing his fangs, and glared at Yu Yi.

…

"Master, if you don't see him, Uncle Wukong might... tear down the entire Taoist temple."

The Taoist disciple who came to report was already sweating profusely.

Laojun sitting aside did not speak, but looked at Subhuti with a smile.

After a long time, Subhuti raised his head slightly, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Master, I'll go see him now." (To be continued ~^~)
