The Monkey King

The night wind blew gently, bending the waist under the pressure of mugwort.

In the grass on the roadside, gray hares poked their heads out and watched carefully.

After Nuwa gave an affirmative answer, the group walked slowly along the long mountain road towards the Nuwa Temple located on the shore of Mother Lake.

Along the way, the monkey always looked at Xuanzang on the horse, intentionally or unintentionally. He really couldn't understand why a shrew's attitude changed completely after meeting Xuanzang.

"What on earth did they talk about?"

"Great Sage, what did you just say?" Yunxiang suddenly turned away.

"No!" Monkey quickly waved his hand and said: "I said the scenery of your daughter's country is really good, with good mountains and good water. It is a good place."

"Of course." Yunxiang said proudly: "How can the spiritual nourishment of my daughter's state-owned empress be compared to ordinary places? Otherwise, the great sage will settle here after studying the scriptures?"

"Ah?" Monkey was stunned, looked at Yunxiang, frowned and said: "We are all men. Isn't it forbidden for men to enter the Women's Kingdom?"

Yunxiang blushed, lowered her head, and said hesitantly: "If...if it is the Great Sage, I believe the empress will not object."

After saying that, she cautiously raised her head and looked at the monkey. Unfortunately, the monkey's attention was entirely on Xuanzang, and he didn't seem to hear what she said at all.

Can I say this again?

After thinking for a long time, she could only sigh helplessly.

Not far away, Canopy quickened his pace slightly and walked to the side of a female general. He whispered: "General, I would like to ask, where is the horse we brought here before?"

"The horse you brought before?"

"Yes, a white horse." Tianpeng stretched out his hand and gestured.

For a long time, the female general didn't think of anything.

The female soldier on the side stretched her head and said, "The horse you brought here is still in the stable."

"stable?"

"Yes. It was placed in the stable at the beginning. Then...then something happened. The empress was not here, and His Majesty was not here, but there was a stallion there, and the mares in the whole stable were making endless noises all day long. .I heard that the groom reported this matter to the prime minister and asked whether he should be killed or not."

Canopy was startled: "But...then what?"

"I heard that the prime minister couldn't make up his mind, so he finally gave instructions and said that it would be good to castrate it and keep it alive."

"Eunuch... castrated?" Tianpeng's face twitched slightly. No further questions were asked. He swallowed dryly. He slowed down and walked to the roller blind behind him.

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard it." Roller Blind tried his best not to laugh, and hesitantly said: "It's easy to handle if your hand is broken. I know all the techniques to pick it up. But... if it's broken, does the marshal know how to pick it up?"

"I don't understand either."

The two people looked at each other and couldn't help it anymore, bursting into laughter.

"Marshal, do you think we should tell his wife about this?"

"You can't say it. You mustn't say it. Think about it, all the mares in the stable..." Tianpeng couldn't stop laughing, so he had to run aside and rest on the tree trunk.

"The mare is still castrated..." The black bear who walked at the end held in his spirit for a long time, and sighed: "I now feel that being poisoned is not a bad thing. If it hadn't been poisoned, maybe we would have been castrated."

The Daughter's Kingdom is not big, and the group of people had already arrived at the mother lake before it was too late at night. The Nuwa Temple with a history of more than 2,000 years is right in front of you.

Yunxiang walked to the front, turned around and stopped everyone.

"Everyone, this is a forbidden area of ​​the Daughter Kingdom. Only holy monks and the Great Sage are allowed to enter this time. Also, Great Sage, I'm afraid you must leave your weapons here."

Xuanzang and the monkey looked at each other for a moment. The monkey nodded slightly and leaned the golden hoop in his hand aside.

With one blow, the golden hoop sank directly into the soil for more than two feet.

"Is this okay?"

The female general on the side stretched her head. Pointing at the monkey's wrist, he said: "Your bracelet... this seems to be a magic weapon, right?"

The monkey glanced down.

The bracelet she was talking about was a diamond bracelet.

"This is something I never leave behind. No one can talk about it."

"This is not possible. The Nuwa Temple has been around for two thousand years, but no one has ever dared to enter it with weapons. You..."

The female general wanted to continue, but Yun Xiang stopped her.

"This is a commemorative accessory, not a magical weapon."

Monkey Youyou glanced at Yunxiang: "Do you recognize this?"

Yunxiang pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "This is Miss Fengling's King Kong Zhuo. Miss Fengling took great care of my servants when she was in Qitian Palace, so... Yunxiang must recognize it."

Monkey lowered his head and fiddled with the diamond on his wrist a few times, then smiled helplessly: "What about now? Can we go in?"

"Yes...it's okay." The female general nodded slightly.

"Great Sage, please."

Taking steps forward, Yunxiang stepped onto the high steps. Behind him, Monkey and Xuanzang were walking slowly.

Along the way, Monkey carefully leaned next to Xuanzang and whispered: "Guess, why is she looking for you?"

"This... even the poor monk doesn't know."

"Is there anything you haven't finished talking about last time?"

"The poor monk really can't explain. The poor monk said everything he could say last time, but he didn't have time to comfort Empress Nuwa. But... Empress Nuwa doesn't seem to need the comfort from the poor monk."

"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore. It's useless to ask." Monkey waved his hand and walked away.

…

Just when the monkey was puzzled about seeing Nuwa, looking south to Buzhou, a carriage belonging to the Tianting Xuntian Mansion, carrying three generals, was cruising slowly over a small town.

There are almost no lights in the standard Middle-earth style town. On the empty streets, a fallen leaf flutters gently in the breeze.

The whole town was incredibly quiet.

In this era, any mortal city-state, even a prosperous city like Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, will look particularly deserted at this point in time. It seems like this kind of border town. Logically speaking, it would not be surprising even if it was empty.

However, Qi Ju Qi, a house in this small town had already burst into flames, and the fire was even spreading with the direction of the wind, but... no one put out the fire.

Not only was there no one to put out the fire. There wasn't even anyone on duty to see.

"Is there... no one there? Is there any war happening around here?"

"No news has been received, and we have just inspected the surrounding villages and towns, and found nothing unusual. Besides... towns that have experienced war are not like this."

"If there's something strange, go and have a look." The leader of the survey team quickly came to a conclusion.

"drive!"

With a loud scolding, the four Pegasus horses quickly turned around and headed towards a corner of the town.

"what is that?"

"where?"

Before the leading patrol general could issue an order, the patrol general who was first discovered had already lightly jumped out.

The other two sky patrol generals had no choice but to find a place to stop the carriage, and then quickly got out of the carriage and went over.

Under a big tree. They met the general who first discovered the anomaly. He was crouching next to a corpse.

"Look. It's a dead man. He hasn't been dead for a long time." The patrol general reached out and turned the body over, examined it carefully, and said: "All the blood has been sucked dry, and there seems to be no struggle before death. Every part of the body is covered with blood." There is only one wound on the neck, and the blood was sucked from here, but it is not a fatal wound. At least it cannot be fatal immediately. It is certain that he was dead before the blood was sucked, otherwise he would definitely struggle. What could it be? Where's the stuff?"

"Where's the soul? He just died and the ghosts haven't come yet, so the soul should still be around. Just call him and ask."

The half-crouching sky patrol general said leisurely: "There is no need to look for it, I have just looked for it. Not only is there no trace of his soul here, there is not even half a wandering ghost here."

When he said this, the other two sky patrol generals were immediately surprised.

"Is it a vendetta by the cultivators? Killing people and then destroying their souls together?"

"How much hatred is there to kill so many people? Burying the whole town together?" The patrol general took out his handkerchief and wiped his hand that touched the corpse, and stood up slowly. Turning to look at the long street to the side: "This is not the first corpse I have found. I have just checked all the houses in that row. All the residents are dead, not one is left alive, not even the livestock, and ...The method of death is the same. If it is a cultivator who violates the prohibition and interferes in mortal vendetta, he should know that as long as we look through the Book of Life and Death, he will not be able to hide. Is there any land here?"

"No. I have applied for it for several years. There is a shortage of people at the top, and no one has been sent down yet. In the land business, less and less people are willing to do it." A patrol general sighed helplessly: "The forces in the world are intertwined. , If you make trouble with monsters, you will be killed by monsters. If you make peace with monsters, you will be judged by the heaven. This is a double-dealing job. Go back first. Judging from the situation, it should be a monster. Report it to the police and see what it says. "

The leading patrol general nodded slightly.

In this current situation, this is all we can do.

Just as the three patrol generals were preparing to walk back, suddenly, a horse's cry echoed through the entire town.

"No! The other party is still in this town!"

Immediately, the three sky patrol generals showed their swords one after another, and their troops divided into three groups and rushed towards the place where the carriage was.

In the blink of an eye, three sky patrol generals had surrounded the carriage from three directions at the same time.

All four Pegasus horses fell to the ground. In the middle, the six-eared macaque was strangling one of them by the neck and desperately sucking blood.

Seeing that the other party looked like just a newborn monkey demon, the leader of the patrol general relaxed a little.

However, the four Pegasus together are not easy to deal with. How did a newborn monkey demon bring down four Pegasus horses at the same time in such a short period of time?

Thinking about it, he waved the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Stop! You monkey monster, how dare you commit such a heinous crime, why don't you catch me quickly!"

The six-eared macaque was stunned, raised his head slightly and glanced at the three sky patrol generals.

Licking his lips, he sighed: "The three new ones... look even more delicious."

Under the moonlight, the smile covered in blood was extremely ferocious. (To be continued ~^~)
