The Monkey King: Chapter 531 : treasure country

   Outside the Tushita Palace, a large number of warships have come to surround the entire Tushita Palace, and those heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals who are hanging in the air finally don’t have to continue to hang in the air, they can go to the warships to rest for a while.

   A heavenly general slowly passed through the crowd to the side of Jiaomu Jiao, who was standing on the bow deck with the heavenly court generals, and whispered, "Qiying Xingjun, I have searched everywhere, but couldn't find it."

   Hearing this, Jiaomu Jiao's expression changed slightly.

   The Heavenly King Chiguo on the other side asked softly, "Xingjun, is something wrong?"

  The corner of Jiaomujiao's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter."

   said, he took the arm of the day general, pulled him away from the crowd, and walked towards the direction of the cabin.

   Looking at Jiaomu Jiao's hurrying back, King Chiguo slowly looked at King Duowen who was beside him.

   This pair of eyes, Duowen Tianwang immediately glanced at the other twenty-eight constellations around him. King Chikoku nodded knowingly.

  The two of them turned around and paced as if nothing had happened, and walked to the side of the ship, which was far away from the crowd.

   King Chiguo said in a low voice, "What's going on?"

   "Kuimu wolf got lost."

"what?"

"Whereabouts unknown." King Duowen slowly leaned over to King Chiguo's side, and while looking around with his eyes as if nothing had happened, he lowered his voice and said, "Jiaomujiao just sent people to look around, I heard that he has been in retreat for more than ten days. , as a result, the door was opened, and it was found that he had disappeared for a long time."

   "Heaven is such a big place, where can you run?"

"Heavenly Court is not big. After going out of Nantianmen, the sky is high and the earth is wide. I just sent someone to Nantianmen to check the entry and exit registration. It has the name of Kui Mulang. I went down to earth thirteen days ago, and I took the two of them. The official token of the Eighteen Constellation." After speaking, King Duowen stretched out his hand and patted the King's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk about it. If they don't talk about this, let's pretend that nothing happened. ...and see how they deal with it."

   Having said that, King Duowen turned around and walked towards the group of heavenly generals.

Looking at the Jiaomu Jiao who was still in a hurry not far away, the Heavenly King Zhiguo stroked his chin and sighed: "I didn't expect that this Kuimu wolf is more persistent than the Tianpeng of the day. It's annoying."

  …

at this time. There is a warm scene in the courtyard.

  The sun slanted on the floor in front of the monkey. The light and shadow slowly moved eastward.

   Qingxin's position has been moved from outside the gate to the courtyard, but instead of stepping directly into the hall, he looks in from time to time through a threshold.

  Queer didn't speak, just brewed tea quietly, cup after cup, as long as the water in the monkey's cup was a little less. She filled it up again immediately.

   That action, coupled with that makeup, that temperament, is like a plum blossom quietly blooming in the corner, which can be called peerless elegance.

   However, the monkey did not even have the slightest appreciation for it.

   He turned his face slightly to look at the empty courtyard, and was silent, his heart suddenly felt empty.

   The person in front of him has exactly the same memory and character as Queer. But not her. If Queer was still alive, would it have grown like this after so many years?

   What if it was a wind chime?

   The countless pictures in his mind were mixed together, so that the monkeys couldn't sort out the slightest thoughts from them.

   For a long time, he could only smile helplessly.

   To him, birds and wind chimes are scars that can never be healed. A fault that can never be remedied. If he hadn't seen this "Queer", he wouldn't dare to think about it now.

   This should also be a kind of suffering, right? One of the eight sufferings.

  The soul is flying away…

   The canopy is still "can't ask for it", and I have already "can't let it go".

   Can Xuanzang endure this kind of suffering?

   As for Taishang Laojun, he couldn't hate it for a long time. If Taishang Laojun was the murderer who killed the wind chimes, what was he himself?

   Even the hatred of the Tathagata, thinking about it at this time, is actually just a simple obsession.

   In the chaotic thoughts, the monkey's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the bright light and shadow in the courtyard.

   There is a feeling like a lifetime.

  …

  In that secret room, Taishang Laojun silently sensed every move in the hall, his brows slowly frowned, as if he was wondering something. After a while, it slowly stretched out again.

   He smiled lightly, this smile had a rare and relaxed meaning.

   bowed his head, and he continued to use a cinnabar pen to draw complicated arrays on the ground.

  …

   In a blink of an eye, the whole pot of water was used up, and Queer opened his mouth and called one of the Taoist boys outside the door, asking him to make another pot. The boy nodded respectfully, held the kettle in both hands, and walked out.

   "What is your status here now?" The monkey suddenly asked.

   "Master." Queer replied softly.

   "Master?"

"The head of the Tusita Palace, this is the position responsible for the application of the upper and lower ranks of the Tusita Palace. Originally, there was no such position, but the master just asked His Majesty to approve one. In addition, he also entered the immortal status and gave him a gift. I have the token to freely enter and exit Nantianmen. However, after so many years, I have never stepped out of Nantianmen."

  Monkey nodded slightly and sighed with a smile: "That old man, Taishang Laojun, is really good to you."

   "Master is a good man."

   "Is he a good man?"

   "He is a good man, not a count."

The monkey slowly closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and swayed like an old man dozing off under a big tree in the mortal world, and sighed leisurely, "This is the first time someone told me that Taishang Laojun is a good person, it's really strange. ."

"Master has always been a good person." Queer's lowered eyes slowly slanted towards the monkey's position, but when he touched the monkey, he slowly retracted it and said softly, "Master is good to everyone, no, To be precise, he is good to all things in the world."

   "Hey. What a good method, you can tell me."

  Monkey still closed his eyes and listened quietly outside the door.

   At this time, the boy had walked into the house holding a pot full of water. Put it on the charcoal stove, and quietly backed out.

Que'er stared at the charcoal stove and said softly, "There is a saying in the mortal world, it is better to teach them to fish than to teach them to fish. Governing the Three Realms is also a principle. If the fundamentals cannot be changed, then the best way is to let it go. Otherwise. Going against the sky will only lead to greater suffering, and in the end, it will be too late to regret it.”

   "As he said, it seems that you are really his good apprentice."

   "That's why I said that the master is good to everyone, but it's just a little bit more doting on me and Qingxin." When it came to the word Qingxin, Queer slightly accentuated.

  Monkey was stunned for a moment, and his gaze swept out the door.

  Qingxin immediately turned his face away, pretending to be nothing.

   "You and Qingxin? Isn't Qingxin my little sister in Xieyue Sanxingdong? Why, she often runs to Tusita Palace?"

   Queer said softly, "She is your junior sister and my junior sister."

"What do you mean..." Before he finished speaking, the monkey had a sudden realization and hummed: "So that's the case, I said that none of our brothers and sisters have her character. It turns out that there are two masters. No wonder this is so domineering. I don’t know how high the sky is.”

   Qingxin outside the door heard this, and his face flushed red with a swipe. However, he just gritted his teeth and did not attack.

   Between these words, Queer was quietly paying attention to the monkey's reaction. However, the monkey did not seem to think deeply about what she said.

   turned his head, and the monkey asked Queer leisurely: "When will Lao Jun come back. Can you give me an approximate time? I can't wait here forever."

  …

   "Let him wait a little longer and he'll be fine."

  In the secret room, Lao Jun held two pens in his mouth, and two pens were dancing rapidly in his hands.

   The complicated array on the ground has gradually taken shape and is about to enter the closing stage.

  …

   At this time, Xiniu Hezhou, the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom.

   Banners with white elephant totem fluttered in the wind, and the guards on the castle tower blew their horns.

  The birds that landed on the glazed tiles jumped to the sky.

   Layers of palaces, towering armour lined up in the huge square in the palace, civil and military officials lined up in court.

   Looking at the exquisite sculpture at the corner of the house, the thick armor on the Imperial Army, and the bright blade in his hand, Xiao Bailong was amazed.

For a long time, he thought that in the mortal world, only the emperors of the eastern land had such majesty, but he did not expect that in Xiniu Hezhou, thousands of miles away from his home, such a country would appear at some point in time. .

   As soon as he stepped into the capital, he was a little stunned, but he didn't expect even more shock to follow.

What's even more strange is that the black bear spirit accidentally showed its prototype. Originally, Xuanzang thought that his group would be deported soon. Unexpectedly, the king of this country sent a request the next day. Post, invited Xuanzang and his party to the palace to see.

   "Xuan-Master Xuanzang goes to the hall!"

   "Xuan-Master Xuanzang goes to the hall!"

   "Xuan-Master Xuanzang goes to the hall!"

   A shout came from the depths of the palace, and the court attendant standing on the side bowed slightly and said, "Master Xuanzang, please."

   Wearing a cassock and wearing a crown of ten thousand Buddhas on his head, Xuanzang held a Buddha bead and took a slow step. At the same time, the guard behind him had already placed the halberd in front of the accompanying Black Bear Spirit, Canopy, and Little White Dragon.

  The captain of the bodyguard bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, please wait here. Your Majesty has only announced Master Xuanzang alone. Then, only Master Xuanzang can go to the hall and meet His Majesty."

   "We are protecting Master Xuanzang." Xiao Bailong blurted out, pointing at the guard and asking, "What if you want to harm Master Xuanzang?"

   "This..." The captain of the guard slowly looked at Xuanzang.

   The court attendants who came to lead the way were also watching Xuanzang.

   After hesitating for a while, Xuanzang said in a low voice, "Everyone, just wait here for a while, the poor monk will come back after seeing His Majesty."

   Xuanzang spoke, and the others had to agree.

  The palace guards led Xuanzang slowly down the long aisle, and all around, the armed guards watched silently.

   This way, Xuanzang's brows gradually furrowed.

  After all, Xuanzang had also entered the palace in Chang'an.

   Although this country is not small, it is indeed prosperous enough, but it is really worse than Chang'an in the East, but it is still so far behind, even in terms of the size of the palace. But at this moment, it seems that the guards of this palace are much stricter than those of the Tang Palace.

Not only that.

   Judging from the appearance of the guards and the degree of wear and tear of the armor, these troops practiced very frequently, obviously in a state of high preparation. However, before he came to the palace, Xuanzang knew that this treasure elephant country had no neighbors that could threaten its existence. Whose battle is this prepared for?

Lifting the front of the cassock, Xuanzang lowered his head and slowly climbed up the high stone steps, and walked into the hall step by step. King of Baoxiang Kingdom.

  The king wore a fox velvet crown, a white robe inlaid with gold, and a long waist-length beard. Although he was over fifty years old, he was still very tough.

   However, at this time, his eyes were sunken, and his face was a little haggard.

   Walking all the way to the center of the hall, Xuanzang raised his front swing, kneeled on his knees respectfully, put his hands together, bowed and said, "The poor monk Xuanzang, see Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed."

  The entire hall was silent.

  The king of the Baoxiang Kingdom sat on the high throne looking down at Xuanzang and stroked his long beard.

   After being silent for a long time, he said softly: "This king heard that you came from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, and you want to go to the West to get scriptures. Is there any such thing?"

   Xuanzang replied respectfully: "Your Majesty Qizao, this is indeed the case."

  The King of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom nodded, and then asked: "I heard, how many goblins are still around you?"

   "This..." Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, then said loudly: "Your Majesty Qizao, there are indeed a few friends traveling with you. After all, this road is difficult and dangerous."

   "Oh? So, you know how to subdue demons?"

   "Poor monk, I don't understand."

   "I don't understand, how can those fairies follow you willingly?"

   Xuanzang put his hands together, bowed slightly and said, "The poor monk has already said that those few are friends of the poor monk."

   After saying this, the king of Baoxiang Kingdom, who was sitting high on the throne, took the lead in laughing. Immediately, the civil and military ministers in the entire hall also laughed, turning into a burst of laughter.

   Xuanzang knelt quietly without saying a word.

   After a while, when the laughter gradually subsided, the king of Baoxiang Kingdom said leisurely: "This demon and a human can still be friends? You monk, it's fun to talk. Let's calm down."

   Xuanzang got up slowly and said softly: "The poor monk did not deceive His Majesty, saying that he is a friend, he is a friend."

   "Okay, this king doesn't care what your relationship is." The king of Baoxiang Kingdom waved his hand and said, "This king will ask you again, do you know how to subdue demons?"

   Xuanzang shook his head slowly: "The poor monk doesn't understand."

   "Then, your... 'friends'? Do they understand demon subjugation?"

   Xuanzang said softly, "You should know something."

"That's it." The king of Baoxiang Kingdom nodded heavily, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "This king has entrusted you with something, and I will send a demon for this king. If it succeeds, this king will seal you. As a national teacher, gold and silver treasures, as much as you want. You can also choose a piece of land for you in this royal capital and build an incomparable temple in a radius of 10,000 miles. The journey to learn Buddhist scriptures from the West is a long way, and this king can also send one An army will go and fetch it for you. You, in my country, just wait and read the scriptures."
