The Monkey King

With Nuwa's promise, everyone's time in Xiexing suddenly became less urgent.

Considering that the others had just been detoxified and their bodies were still in an extremely weak stage, Monkey finally decided to let everyone stay in Huaguo Mountain to recuperate for a few days, and then continue their journey to the Daughter's Kingdom after everyone recovered.

As for what to do with Little White Dragon in the Daughter's Kingdom... this question has never been on Monkey's mind.

Lying on the loess on the hillside, the monkey looked at the sky leisurely: "How about I do something for you?"

Cao Xiaohua frowned and asked, "What should we do?"

"Do something you should do if you are called a great sage." The monkey jumped up.

Half a day later, he brought back a lot of food, various elixirs, various weapons, armor, clothes...

Facing the mountain of items, everyone in Huaguo Mountain was dumbfounded, even the sick Xuanzang.

"How did you get these things?"

"Borrow it from the old Dragon King." The monkey plucked his ears and said, "Don't worry, this great sage is trustworthy and has issued an IOU. As for when he will pay it back... we can wait until he comes to me to ask for it."

Tianpeng said leisurely: "Does he dare?"

"I don't know about that." The monkey jumped up to the hill, picked up the items and scattered them: "Little ones, these are all yours!"

"Long live the Great Sage——!"

All the little demons cheered, and for a moment, the entire Huaguo Mountain came alive.

Cao Xiaohua covered her mouth and smiled.

Xiao Qi sighed sadly: "It would be great if the Great Sage could never leave."

The words are not finished yet. Monkey had already started writing two IOUs and stuffed them into his hands: "Here are 20 million fine gold. Take it. If you need anything in the future, just take it to the Dragon Palace. Uh... remember to give change."

Xiao Qi stared blankly at the IOU in his hand, imagining what his expression would be like when he asked the old Dragon King for change with an IOU worth twenty million in fine gold.

Cao Xiaohua kept giggling on the side: "Great Sage. You will lead Xiao Qi to bad things."

"I only regret it because I didn't lead him astray. If I had led him astray before, you definitely wouldn't be in such a miserable state."

In a few days, the monkey had already figured out the basics of Huaguo Mountain.

Since almost all the monsters in Huaguo Mountain have dispersed, the ones left behind are either the old, weak, sick or disabled who cannot walk, or those who are too young to dare to go out. What's worse is that not only do they have poor qualifications, but their vision can also be said to be below the average level of monsters.

certainly. There is nothing we can do about it. Think back to the beginning. When Monkey developed Huaguoshan, the first batch of monsters were all those who had been on the line of life and death and had been eliminated. They were not bad in terms of vision, vigilance, and even reaction speed. And these little monsters today have been staying on this palm-sized mountain since they were born, facing the sky full of yellow sand and rocks. It would be great if they could write two big characters. How much knowledge do you expect them to have?

simply put. This is a ball of mud that cannot be held up to the wall no matter what.

But what does that matter?

As long as they call themselves the Great Sage, it is impossible for them to completely leave them alone. Since fighting and killing is not suitable, let’s have fun!

"There are only a few hundred monsters. The Great Sage, no matter how downcast I am, I can still afford them!" At the banquet, the monkey raised his wine glass and solemnly confessed: "Xiao Qi, tomorrow you will bring your troops and re-establish the boundary monument of Huaguo Mountain. I stand up! This is our territory, we don’t have to have palaces, we don’t have to have battleships. But the territory must be clearly defined!"

"promise!"

With his hands on his hips, Monkey stepped on the low table and said leisurely: "I will also put up the flag of the Monkey King on the main peak of Huaguo Mountain. Let them all know that I am back. Who dares to come?" If you do trouble, you are seeking death!"

"Long live the Great Sage!"

"Come. Cheers to the revitalization of Huaguoshan!"

All the monsters waved their arms and cheered. The sound was not deafening, but every one of them was shouting at the top of their lungs, with tears in their eyes.

Xuanzang on the side slowly turned his head and looked at Tianpeng. After a while, Tianpeng lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "This Dragon King of the East China Sea must have done something wrong in his previous life. He actually has a neighbor like him..."

After that, drink it all in one gulp.

As the monkeys' enthusiasm grew infinitely, everyone in Huaguo Mountain seemed to be in a celebration every day, and was extremely happy.

On the third day after the "Monkey King" flag was raised, someone came from heaven.

Taibai Jinxing brought a group of craftsmen, saying that they came to Huaguo Mountain to plant trees under the orders of the Jade Emperor.

When hearing the news, the monkey was a little unable to react.

"Has your Jade Emperor changed his gender?"

"The Great Sage is joking." Taibai Jinxing wiped his sweat and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty has always admired the Great Sage very much..."

"appreciation?"

"Forehead……"

"Then, do I count as his subordinate?"

"No, no, no." Taibai Jinxing was startled, and quickly slapped himself lightly: "What I want to say is admiration, admiration, yes, admiration. Hahahaha, Great Sage, don't be ridiculous, I am old. It's time to hit him, he should be beaten."

The monkey raised his eyebrows, looked at him suspiciously, and said leisurely: "Are you still arrogant? I think you are the most eloquent person in the three realms."

At this point, Taibai Jinxing's cold sweat broke out even more intensely.

Taibai Jinxing plants trees, and Xiaoqi is the supervisor. Huaguoshan, which had been deserted for hundreds of years, began to recover bit by bit.

On the other side, Nuwa has released enough kindness. Xuanzang sat on the couch and read Buddhist scriptures every day, and seemed to have understood something.

Although the destination of the westward journey is not yet in sight, at least in the eyes of the monkey, the situation has greatly improved.

Everyone is smiling happily.

However, no one knew at this time that in another corner of the Three Realms, an event that was about to affect each of them was happening...

…

Hell.

The magic circle stopped functioning. All the original light on the altar has disappeared. Everything around him was enveloped in darkness.

Through the faint blue light emitted by the will-o'-the-wisps in the sky, one can vaguely see a large mass of dark golden hair rising and falling slowly in the center of the altar, as if breathing. Whenever there is a sound around, even a breeze blows. It would tremble slightly, as if it was frightened.

There is something fearful inside, fearful of everything in this world.

In the distance, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata and Ksitigarbha were watching quietly.

"We're finally here." Ksitigarbha smiled lightly.

Zhengfa Ming Tathagata glanced at Ksitigarbha and sighed helplessly: "You have released an evil ghost."

Ksitigarbha smiled. Smiling without saying a word.

Zhengfa Ming Tathagata narrowed his eyes slightly. Said: "It's too late to regret now. Didn't Sanqing end up where he is today just because he thought he could control him back then?"

"The poor monk never thought of controlling him. He was originally designed to break the balance of the entire world... In this case, why do you still want to control him?"

Spreading his legs, Ksitigarbha stepped onto the steps step by step and walked towards the wriggling hair.

In the breeze, he stood in front of the ball of hair. Stretch out two fingers.

"Is it painful? Why not ask the poor monk to help you."

The fingertips instantly condensed with bright golden light. For a moment, the shadows all around were dispersed.

The hairy man retreated a little as if he was frightened, but stopped again and did not run away.

Pushing open his sleeves, Ksitigarbha took a step forward and pointed his fingers emitting golden light towards the top of the hair.

At this moment, something strange happened.

Following Ksitigarbha's movements, the hairs that were originally standing on end quickly fell off like the ebbing tide. In the blink of an eye, a monkey head emerged from the round fur ball. It was a face exactly like the Monkey King, the Monkey King!

When the fingertips of the local king touched the other person's eyebrows. The opponent was startled suddenly and jumped back a foot away at lightning speed.

He quickly lowered his body, grinned and exposed his fangs, and let out a low, hostile growl at Ksitigarbha. In the red eyes, there was a strong and violent aura that seemed to be real.

The murderous intention has arisen!

At this time, all the thick hair on the body that was originally one foot long has fallen off, turning into another thick "blanket" under the feet. And what is left on the body is only the hair of the length of an ordinary monkey demon.

"Do you remember your name?"

no answer.

Ksitigarbha smiled lightly and said, "From today on, you will be called Six-eared Macaque."

Still no answer, the six-eared macaque's eyes looked at Ksitigarbha, and the hostility in his eyes seemed even stronger than before.

"Are you afraid of the poor monk?" He lifted his cassock, Ksitigarbha smiled, and walked towards the six-eared macaque step by step through the hair on the ground, until he was seven feet away from him, and stretched out a hand.

This is releasing kindness.

However, at this moment, with a low roar, the six-eared macaque suddenly rose up, rushed towards Ksitigarbha, grabbed Ksitigarbha's hand, and bit his wrist hard!

In an instant, golden liquid splashed out. This is the blood of Buddha.

The crazy monkey in front of him closed his eyes tightly and sucked blood.

Blood can make him feel peaceful, especially the blood of Buddha.

At this moment, even Zhengfa Ming Tathagata, who was standing far away, was severely startled and couldn't help but tighten his sleeves. Ksitigarbha just stood quietly, stretched out his left hand, and let the other party taste it.

After a while, the six-eared macaque was finally satisfied. He slowly let go of Ksitigarbha's hand and took two steps back, trembling slightly. When he opened his eyes again, the bloodshot eyes had reduced a lot and now had a hazy feeling.

In his eyes, the whole world was spinning like a drunk.

"Who are you?"

Ksitigarbha glanced at his bloody wrist with a low eyebrow, and smiled faintly: "It really cannot be tamed... You don't even know who you are, so what's the point of telling you who the poor monk is?"

"Then I have to say..." The six-eared macaque reached out and scratched his own hair, shook his head violently, and seemed to be a little confused.

"The poor monk, known as Ksitigarbha, was originally a young Buddhist monk on Lingshan Mountain."

"Ksitigarbha, Ksitigarbha..." the six-eared macaque repeated silently. He seemed to have some impression of this name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

No, not only could he not remember where he had heard this name before, he could not remember anything else. My mind is filled with countless memory fragments, some are talking, some are crying, some are fighting, but no matter what, I can't piece together a clear memory.

He held his head and lowered his head to remember hard. But no matter how he recalled it, he couldn't remember anything... The only thing he remembered was an emotion, a kind of anger. That is the anger that wants to kill, wants to destroy everything...

"Are you willing to sit down and listen to this poor monk talk to you?"

"I don't want to!" The six-eared macaque roared suddenly, raised his head slightly and looked at Ksitigarbha, took two steps back, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't like your bald head, you are not with me!"

"Oh?" Ksitigarbha raised the corners of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "What about the one with long hair and a bun?"

"Those who wear their hair in buns... those who wear their hair in buns..." The six-eared macaque closed his eyes tightly and shook his head twice: "Those who wear their hair in buns... don't like them either..."

"I can't remember clearly, but my likes and dislikes are still clear." Shaking his arms slightly, Ksitigarbha hid the wound on his hand in his sleeve, and said softly: "In this case, I will keep the story short. There are three points. , you must remember it no matter what. First, you only have a soul, no body. Your body was created by a poor monk using magic, and there is no flesh and blood in it. You need to absorb enough blood from other creatures to make this body It is as strong as your original body. It doesn’t matter whether the opponent is a mortal, a monster, a Taoist practitioner, or a Buddhist practitioner. The higher the cultivation level, the more benefits it can bring you... In fact, Not only do you have no body, but even your soul is temporary. In order to maintain your soul, you must absorb a large amount of essence. In the same way, the higher the cultivation level, the better. However, in terms of essence, it is a bottomless pit, no matter how much you absorb They are all only temporarily maintained. You need to keep replenishing. This is just one of them."

"Secondly, you don't have much time. Even if you maintain your soul and forge your body, you won't have much time. The soul of any practitioner who excessively consumes spiritual power and intends to break through to the realm of heaven will be destroyed. Being targeted by the Heavenly Tribulation. It will trap the soul of such a person in the void forever, just like you did before. The poor monk took you back from the hands of the Heavenly Tribulation, but... it will soon I find that you are missing. Therefore, in one year or two years, the disaster will come again. At that time, it must take away a 'you' from this world, and no one can stop it."

The six-eared macaque listened blankly, its eyes as wide as copper bells.

Ksitigarbha smiled slightly and continued: "But you are lucky. There is another you in this world. When the time comes, it will depend on who is weaker. The weaker one will be taken away by the heavenly tribulation and trapped forever. In the void, the stronger one will continue to stay."

The corners of the six-eared macaque's eyes twitched slightly.

"The third one..." Looking at the six-eared macaque, Ksitigarbha said word by word: "Listen carefully, after being taken away for the second time, no one can take away your soul." Rescued." (To be continued~^~)
