The Monkey King

Between the thin clouds and mist, a large number of generals could be vaguely seen going back and forth on their armored armor.

The weapons glowed with a chill in the dim light.

In a short period of time, Nantianmen has changed from an open state to a tightly guarded iron barrel, and everyone has stretched their nerves to the extreme.

"How did the fight between Empress Nuwa and that monkey come about?" In the tower of Nantianmen, the Jade Emperor held his desk and gritted his teeth and asked: "How many parties are involved in this matter? Are there any members of my heavenly court involved?"

The generals present looked at each other in confusion.

After swallowing dryly, Li Jing whispered: "I don't know what you want to say to your Majesty."

"I wonder...haven't spies been sent out?"

"Both of them are extremely powerful and difficult to approach. Finding out the crux of the matter will not happen in a short time. So... there has been no reward yet."

At this point, Li Jing said no more, but slightly raised his eyelids to glance at the Jade Emperor.

Several other people in the tower also lowered their heads and looked at the Jade Emperor cautiously.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor was already in a state of extreme anxiety.

One moment he stretched out his hand and pinched Qingming's acupuncture point, closed his eyes and rested his mind, the next moment he leaned on the table and frowned, and the next moment he looked uneasily outside the Nantian Gate and walked back and forth around the long table. From time to time, he would reach out to pick up the spy reports that he had seen many times on the table and look through them, as if he was ready to memorize them all.

His eyes were always wandering, and from beginning to end, he never glanced at the generals in front of him.

The Jade Emperor who reigns over the three realms majestically. How could he have the courage to face his subordinates when the monkey became like this when he encountered it?

After a while, the Jade Emperor gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever sent someone to inform Sanqing about the matter?"

"We have sent people there, but the Three Purities are closed to the outside. They won't see you, and they won't accept spies."

The Jade Emperor almost threw the memorial in his hand away. Finally paused. But he could only close his eyes deeply.

At this moment, he simply wanted to die.

Why did Sanqing, who was usually the protector of Heaven, abandon him like an abandoned son every time something happened, without asking anything? Since heaven is so cheap, why do people like myself have to toil every day?

This Jade Emperor deserves it, it’s really frustrating!

After being silent for a while, the Jade Emperor could only blink. Almost helplessly, he turned to ask: "That demon monkey. We haven't offended him recently, have we?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, in the area near the battlefield, the Heavenly Court did not place half of the Mountain God Land, and rarely sent out the Xuntian Mansion to inspect. If the battle had not been too loud, I am afraid that we still don't know about it. Therefore, our personnel are involved, The possibility of offending the demon monkey is very small."

"In this case, if something happens, it will only happen to Nuwa. How is her cultivation?"

"Your Majesty, before I can take up my post in heaven, Empress Nuwa has gone into seclusion. Regarding her affairs, I... really don't know."

"Is there no record in the library of heaven?"

"No. If you want to know, I'm afraid you have to ask the old man in heaven."

The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and looked outside the empty Nantian Gate.

At this moment, a heavenly soldier walked in in a hurry. Get down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, receive the report from the lower world. The demon monkey is heading east, and Empress Nuwa... seems to be heading east as well."

"It seems?" The Jade Emperor was stunned and asked sternly: "Yes, it means, if it doesn't, it doesn't. What do you mean by 'it seems to have gone eastward'?"

When asked this question, Tian Bing was also confused. He had no choice but to look at Li Jing for help.

Helpless, Li Jing had no choice but to wave his hand gently to signal the soldiers to retreat. He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Nuwa is strange and unpredictable. In the previous battle reports, she never even showed her true identity. The lower realm reported this, It’s time to err on the side of caution.”

After saying that, Li Jing looked at the Jade Emperor cautiously.

However, at this time, the Jade Emperor's thoughts were no longer here.

He held the long table with one hand, closed his eyes and frowned, sometimes widening his eyes, and then closed them again after a while. He repeated this many times, and seemed to have fallen into a tangle. After a while, he murmured to himself: "The demon monkey is going east, and she is also going east. Is this a pursuit? Will they... chase each other and run to Nantianmen? That monkey made trouble back then. It’s the same way. There’s a lot of commotion in the sky and the earth, but it finally points to the Nantianmen..."

Li Jing blinked and did not dare to say anything.

After a long while, the Jade Emperor took a deep breath and asked: "What is the cultivation level of Empress Nuwa?"

The corners of Li Jing's mouth suddenly twitched slightly.

I asked this question just now, and asked it again...

Helpless, due to the relationship between monarch and minister, Li Jing had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "I don't know what to say to your majesty..."

"I don't know, I don't know this, I don't know that!" The Jade Emperor slapped his palm heavily on the table and said angrily: "I don't even know the most basic things. If I want this Xuntian Mansion, what's the use of this Nantianmen?" Once they really come to Nantianmen, how can we resist them? Ah? Tell me what good strategy you have and how to resist them!"

"Your Majesty is teaching you a lesson!" Li Jing quickly wiped away his sweat, cupped his hands and said, "I will go and investigate right now!"

After saying that, Li Jing quickly took two steps back, turned around and left. Before leaving, he quietly winked at Nezha who was standing beside him.

Seeing this, Nezha also quickly saluted the Jade Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, time is running out. I suddenly remembered that the defense in the North District seems to be insufficient. I want to..."

"Go ahead, go ahead." The Jade Emperor waved his hand impatiently.

Nodding, Nezha also took two steps back, turned around and left.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he quietly rolled his eyes behind him and muttered: "Ask me, it's just a stupid question. Who can drive that monkey away everywhere, can anyone in heaven be able to deal with it? Except Nan Once the Heavenly Gate is closed, what else can be done? With this little force, can we still prevent a flower from coming?"

Looking up, Nezha happened to see Li Jing waiting for him in front of the door and was stunned.

Li Jing looked at Nezha and said coldly: "Don't talk too much."

Nezha quickly shrank his neck: "What father taught you is..."

Turn around. The two of them walked slowly towards the distance.

"Your Majesty now is a little different from His Majesty before. At times like this, it's better not to stand in the court."

"My child knows..."

At this moment, a Qing family member not far behind him shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Taibai Jinxing is brought to -!"

…

Huaguoshan.

In a dark cave. A lonely lamp stays on.

Cao Xiaohua was having a headache facing this mountain of books.

Compared to the human kingdom, the Huaguoshan Demon Kingdom more than six hundred years ago was actually not that big. The total number of people is only six to seven million. In comparison, it is only average. But unlike the human kingdom at this time, no one among the 10 of them could be picked out to be literate. However, in the original Huaguoshan Monster Kingdom, almost every monster could read and practice calligraphy.

This difference results in Huaguoshan having a richer collection of books than Heavenly Court, even if the demon kingdom is destroyed. The books left behind. It is still an astronomical number.

Can these things be thrown away?

It's definitely not possible. There, everything about Huaguo Mountain is recorded. According to the instructions left by the monkey, you can throw away anything, but you can't throw away these books. Because these are inheritances. As long as these things are still there, no matter how desperate the demon clan is, there is still hope for revival.

Cao Xiaohua didn't know the time, place, or intention when the monkey said these words. However, as the internal affairs manager of Huaguoshan Qitian Palace. She had an obligation to protect these things.

A white rabbit spirit whispered: "Sister Xiaohua, let us do it. Just move it out to bask in the sun, then go back and put it back the same way. We can still do it."

Shaking her head, Cao Xiaohua sighed softly: "I don't trust you alone. Forget it, it's not the first time."

"promise."

It is not difficult to preserve a collection of books, and it is not difficult to organize a collection of ten volumes, but it is really not easy to organize a collection of twenty books on a regular basis and check them one by one. Just do this thing tirelessly every day, a reincarnation. That will also take five years.

Just as Cao Xiaohua directed several little demons to move the books out, Xiao Qi suddenly rushed in from outside the cave and hurried to Cao Xiaohua.

"No! Sister Xiaohua, the woman who claimed to be the Great Sage's junior sister is here again!"

"ah?"

"They are really shouting outside, saying they want to see you!"

With that said, Xiao Qi took Cao Xiaohua's hand and ran out of the cave.

…

"Cao Xiaohua——! Come out quickly! It's urgent! It's very urgent. Your great sage asked me to come to you!"

Skimming the barren surface of Huaguo Mountain. Pure heart is wandering around like a headless fly.

In the pile of rocks a mile away, Cao Xiaohua just watched from a distance.

"Sister Xiaohua, do you want to send someone to talk to her?"

"No." Cao Xiaohua stared at Qingxin in the distance, shook her head and said, "Don't act rashly yet. If someone accidentally falls into her hands, it will be in trouble. Tell everyone to hide."

"promise!"

After turning around many times, Qingxin could only pause, take out the jade slip used to contact the monkey and put it on her lips.

"I went to Huaguo Mountain, but Cao Xiaohua refused to come out."

"Tell her that I asked you to find her, and you are my junior sister."

"I've said it, but she still refuses to come out."

"This is impossible... Is she no longer in Huaguo Mountain?"

"Well..." Qingxin hesitated, "I had a fight with her last time..."

"What?" Monkey was stunned.

"I didn't know anything at that time, so I hit... I really didn't mean it, it really wasn't..."

After a long silence, the monkey on the other side of the jade slip asked coldly: "Why did you go to my Huaguo Mountain before?"

"I...I didn't do anything."

"Did nothing?"

Qing Xin's brows were so furrowed that she was almost squirming with tears. Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, she didn't dare to say them, she couldn't say them. Helpless, she could only hesitantly say: "How about... you tell me some Huaguoshan secret code or something?"

"No, I'll be there soon."

"You still don't believe me?"

"I think I trust Cao Xiaohua more than you."

After that, the monkey immediately cut off contact.

Silent and silent.

Qingxin held the jade slip blankly and hung it in mid-air. For a moment, she was at a loss as to what to do.

After a long while, she smiled faintly and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't trust me, if you don't trust me... there will probably be no more entanglements in the future."

She will never forget the "love" that can't be found in the heart that was cut open, and she will never forget the only flower that the monkey had on the moon tree.

The entanglement between the two lives cost everything, but in the end they only got a specious pity.

In the distance, the monkey's figure has flown over, getting closer and closer.

She slowly fell to a hillside, put the jade slip on her lips, and whispered: "The antidote is already available, but we also need a medicine lead. It is the dew condensed from the prototype of the grass flower. Just drop it on the antidote. , just take it."

Place the medicine bottle on the stone. Just before the monkey arrived, she jumped into the air and turned around to leave.

Since we already know that one step forward will lead to an abyss, why not stop here in this life. (To be continued ~^~)
