The Monkey King

The warm wind in the early morning blew slowly, swaying the shadows of the trees.

Inside the open door, Qingxin was sitting on her knees at the low table, writing something seriously.

After a while, Chen Xiang walked in from the courtyard carrying a small shoulder bag.

He carefully took off his sand-stained cloth shoes, held them in his hands, wiped his sweat, and stepped onto the smooth corridor. When walking past the door of Qingxin's room, he deliberately slowed down his pace and tiptoed for fear of being discovered by Qingxin.

"stop."

Chenxiang shrank her neck and had no choice but to turn around and stand up.

The Qingxin in that room was still writing carefully without even raising his head.

"What did you learn today?"

When asked this question, Chen Xiang looked up at the sky with a flat mouth, then looked back at the leaves in the courtyard, looking squirming.

"I'm asking you something."

Seeing that he could no longer hide, Chen Xiang had no choice but to take a deep breath and replied: "In reply to the master, Yu Yi... Senior brother, today we are talking about the "Qian Chen Xie Di Sutra"."

"Understand?"

Chenxiang replied hesitantly: "I don't understand..."

"Is it 'don't quite understand' or 'don't understand at all'?"

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Xiang had no choice but to answer bravely: "I don't understand at all."

After saying that, he quickly lowered his head.

Qing Xin's pen tip paused, she straightened up slightly, looked back at Chen Xiang, and said, "It's normal that you don't understand."

"real?"

Lowering his head, Qingxin started writing carefully again, and said casually: "Yes. So, go and copy the part you don't understand a hundred times and memorize it."

Say this. The smile that just bloomed on Chen Xiang's face froze immediately, and she flattened her mouth again.

"Master...can you copy it again later?"

"Why do you have to wait a while before copying?"

Chen Xiang stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said: "I have been listening to the whole morning's class, and I didn't understand a word. I felt dizzy. The disciple felt like... he was about to fall asleep."

Seeing Chen Xiang's aggrieved look, Qingxin was slightly startled.

Since coming to Xianyue Sanxing Cave. Agarwood is considered very hardworking. At least, he works much harder than other disciples in the temple. But after all, he was planning everything, and he was only a six-year-old child. Besides, not everyone can be as stubborn and desperate as Monkey was.

Sighing helplessly, Qingxin said calmly: "Okay, take a rest when you are tired."

"Thank you, master!"

The biggest threat is removed. Chen Xiang cheered immediately. Put your cloth shoes under the steps. He turned around and slipped into Qingxin's house.

After running back and forth for a while, Chenxiang lay down in front of Qingxin's table and looked around.

"Master, what are you writing?"

"The scriptures prepared for you. The Way of the Walker, it is better to incorporate more of the Way of the Enlightenment. By the way, weren't you just about to go back to your room?"

"Won't come back."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"Do nothing."

"Do nothing?" Qingxin glanced at Chenxiang.

"Yes, doing nothing is the most comfortable. It would be great if I could do this every day."

Hearing this, Qingxin laughed and said, "Okay. Once you complete the cultivation, I will allow you to do nothing every day."

After saying that, Qingxin reached out and touched Chenxiang's head.

"Thank you, master!"

Suddenly, Qingxin's expression froze.

"What's the matter, Master?"

Lowering her head, Qingxin took out a jade slip from her waist.

"Just now this jade slip... seemed to have a reaction."

…

"I cannot compromise with her under any circumstances. If the king of the Daughter Kingdom betrays me, it will end well. How can I lead her in the future?"

"You must think clearly. Yunxiang is just a maid of yours. Is it really necessary to continue in such a stalemate with me over a maid?"

"Shut up! Come in if you can, and everyone will break up! Why talk so much?" The monkey roared violently.

For a while. It was quiet again outside the cave.

Turning back, he stared at the jade slip in his hand carefully, his brows furrowed.

This jade slip was given to me by Qingxin. I originally said that the other piece would be given to Subhuti so that I could talk to the master more when I had time. Of course, after giving it to her, she was hung up on the tree by the monkey. I thought I would never use this jade slip in my life, but...

If you ask Subhuti for help. It would indeed be a good idea. First Subhuti mentioned that the Heavenly Court must be accessible without hindrance, and even if you want to find Laojun, you will not be unable to find him. Secondly... maybe there is no need for Laojun to take action at all, Subhuti can refine the antidote himself. You know, he is also one of the best alchemists in the world. Third, to put it bluntly, he was actually the one responsible for the whole thing going west. Logically speaking, there was no reason to watch this golden cicada reincarnate and die without helping.

But... the monkey really didn't want to find him.

After so many years, since they escaped from Kunlun Mountain, although the two of them still maintain their status as master and disciple, they have become just like strangers. Before and after, Monkey took the initiative to look for him once, in order to find out the whereabouts of Que'er's soul. As a result, he stayed behind closed doors, so he sent his senior brother to give him some prevarication.

"Are you really...going to find him?" Holding the jade slip, the monkey was really unsure.

"It's okay, Laojun. The price is clearly marked. If you want his help, you have to give something. If you go to that damn old man..."

I can’t help but feel embarrassed...

On the other side, Xuanzang and others, including Yunxiang, were still lying quietly, their breath getting weaker and weaker.

A bead of sweat fell slowly from Yun Xiang's forehead.

Seeing everyone's expressions getting worse and worse, Monkey had no choice but to put the jade slip close to his lips, but he took it away the moment he touched it.

After a moment of silence, he put the jade slip to his lips again. After hesitating, he took it away again.

I repeated this several times and finally couldn't make up my mind.

There were simply more beads of sweat on her forehead than Yun Xiang and others.

Outside the cave, Nuwa's voice rang again: "I will only give you the last time to think about it. After one stick of incense, if you don't hand over the rue again, I won't blame you for being rude." "

"If you keep arguing, I will whip your daughter's kingdom away with a stick right now and let you rule the hell out of me!"

The monkey turned his head towards the outside of the cave and cursed. Pay no attention to it anymore.

Looking down at the jade slip in his hand, he couldn't help but swallow dryly.

…

"Master, this jade slip can transmit sounds thousands of miles, right?"

"Yes." Qingxin stared at the jade slip in his hand, nodded blankly and said: "The jade slip is a kind of magic weapon, each set has two pieces. Just put the jade slip on your lips and use your spiritual power. Sounds transmitted thousands of miles.”

"Then, master, who has the other piece?"

"Whose hand is it?" Qingxin glanced at Chenxiang lightly, put the jade slip on the table, and sighed softly: "The other piece is in the hand of your uncle Wukong."

"He..."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He is so annoying. He always bullies the master. I heard the master scolding him last night."

"last night?"

"That's right. I got up last night and passed by the door of the master's room. I heard the master scolding him."

Qingxin's face turned red, and she quickly hesitated and said, "I...what did I scold him for?"

Chenxiang tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I just heard 'dead monkey', and the rest... I couldn't hear clearly. I thought the master was talking about some secret book, so I hurriedly eavesdropped."

Qingxin's face suddenly turned redder.

I guess I'm talking in my sleep. This was the first time she knew that she could talk in her sleep. It seems...it's better to set up a sound-barring array when sleeping in the future.

Chen Xiang lay on the table and looked at Qing Xin longingly: "Master, if he asks you for help with something... He is so annoying, will you help him?"

Two dry coughs. Qingxin quickly pretended to be calm and picked up the pen to continue writing: "If I don't help, I definitely won't help."

"Yes, I can't help."

Before he finished speaking, the jade slip on the side flashed again.

Before Chen Xiang's hand touched the jade slip, Qingxin had already grabbed the jade slip in her hand.

Facing Chen Xiang's suspicious gaze, Qing Xin gritted her teeth and put the jade slip to her lips with slight trembling.

Suddenly. The monkey's hesitant voice came from the other end of the jade slip: "Old man... Well, that's it. I'm fighting with your old friend Nuwa now, and your other old friend Jin Chanzi has been hit. Nuwa is poisoned and the situation is a bit critical. I can't stand it anymore...so, I want to ask you for help."

Hearing the words "can't stand it", Qingxin couldn't help but immediately think of the monkey in Feng Chime's memory being beaten with blood by Dan Tongzi. Her expression changed, she stood up and asked without thinking, "Where are you now?"

For a moment, both ends of the jade slip were stunned.

"Why is it you?" Holding the jade slip, Monkey's originally somewhat flattering expression suddenly disappeared.

"I...I forgot to give it to the master."

"Then why don't you hurry up and do it! Damn it, I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have a junior sister like you!"

Qing Xin was anxious and rushed out of the door with a whoosh, leaving Chen Xiang stunned on the spot.

"I just said I wouldn't help..." Holding her cheek, Chen Xiang sighed suspiciously: "Last night I was talking in my sleep and crying. Master is getting more and more suspicious."

…

Rushing out of his house, Qingxin quickly rose into the air and landed outside Qianxin Hall in the blink of an eye.

The door of Qianxin Hall was open, but there was no one inside.

Qingxin panicked and quickly grabbed the Taoist disciple who was sweeping the floor in front of the door: "Where is the master?"

"Master... Master went out early this morning. He said he would be back in a month... He didn't say where he was going."

Leaving the Taoist disciple behind, Qingxin quickly put the jade slip to her lips: "Master, I don't know where he went. How is your situation now?"

"You're about to kill me."

"Is it serious to cause... to kill...?"

"Nu Wa says she has Da Luo's Hunyuan cultivation, but I think she looks like the way of heaven. Do you think it's serious?"

"Then... what should we do now?" Qingxin was so anxious that tears were rolling in her eyes.

On the other end of the jade slip, the monkey's brows were furrowed.

This anxious tone... is a little too wrong. Isn't this guy incompatible with me? What's the matter with this rush? Even if you’re helping, shouldn’t you be sarcastic first? Could it be that the legendary "fellow friendship" at Xianyue Sanxing Cave suddenly took effect?

"Where are you now? I'll be there right now! How are you doing now?"

Pursing his lips, the monkey said softly: "It's useless for you to come here. Nuwa, can you beat me? In this case, you should immediately go to Laojun and ask him to do a favor and make an antidote."

"Okay!" Qingxin replied without hesitation.

The monkey was stunned again. He originally wanted to say a few words that would appeal to his ears, but after all, he was now asking for help, right? At the very least, let's just say something like settling old scores and not targeting each other again in the future. Yes, it’s all saved now.

However, is Qingxin a little too cooperative this time? He held the jade slip and thought leisurely. (To be continued ~^~)
