The Monkey King: Chapter 616 : Sombra

   Drums and music blared in unison, the sleeves of the water danced, and the colorful dresses spun like a spinning top.

   As time went by bit by bit, the banquet was gradually coming to an end. However, the expected climax did not come. Following the Queen's sudden departure, the entire hall was suddenly covered with a strange color, and only singing, dancing and wind music continued to render everything in vain.

  The queen still hasn't returned, no matter how much she called, she didn't respond, the little maid was already anxiously turning around in front of the monkey. However, what can be done in a hurry?

   She was just a little maid, and when the Prime Minister was unwilling to preside over the overall situation, she couldn't do anything. Even the simplest way to persuade a monkey to drink is an extremely rude move.

   lost the backbone of the queen, and the whole banquet gradually changed a little bit. It was late at night, and in desperation, the little maid had to announce the end hastily.

When    was about to leave, the monkey gave a meaningful look at the green-robed prime minister who was calm and calm, chatting and laughing with the ministers.

   "What's the matter?" Tianpeng asked softly.

   "It's nothing." The monkey shook his head and said, "It's just that it doesn't feel right."

"How to say?"

"The Queen suddenly left the table and hasn't returned yet... If she was deliberately negligent, why did she bother to invite us? There must be something very important. But, what kind of thing must the Queen personally Go, and the Prime Minister can ignore it, or even pay no attention to it?"

   "This... that sounds a little out of place. Do you want to do something?"

The    monkey looked at the canopy somewhat unexpectedly.

   "She's your old department. It's not mine. It's up to you to make up your mind about things here."

   After saying that, Tianpeng silently followed the footsteps of Xuanzang ahead, leaving the monkey standing in place with frowns.

   "Do you want to... do something?" The monkey turned his head and looked in the direction of the main hall for a long time. He shook his head again and muttered to himself: "Forget it, people are hospitable, and it's not good to do things without saying hello."

   said, the monkey also followed in the direction of Xuanzang.

  The palace under the darkness of night was silent except for some commotion in the stables.

  …

   At this time, Nuwa Temple. The main pagoda is in the underground palace immersed in darkness and green light. Rue Xiang was kneeling all alone.

  This underground palace is buried at a depth of more than 100 meters underground. The dark rock walls around it are wet and wet. It feels like being in a cave in a rain forest, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.

   On the wall directly in front of Rue Xiang, there is a huge jade mirror, revealing a faint green light. Turn everything into eerie colors.

   This is the only source of light in the entire underground palace.

   Upon closer inspection, you can vaguely see that there seems to be some kind of liquid flowing in the jadeite, and occasionally you can even see bursts of inconspicuous clouds rising up, like bubbles.

   stayed silent for a while. After a long time, a huge, long shadow suddenly crossed the mirror surface.

   Yunxiang was startled and looked up quickly, but the other party had already disappeared.

   Obviously, the jade mirror that Rue Xiang faces is not all of it. Should even say. All she saw was an insignificant part of a gigantic creature.

   It should actually be a huge hollow jadeite buried deep in the ground. Behind the thick jadeite wall is a huge water mass like the "Mother Lake" on top of it. There is some kind of huge life form living in it.

   "The matter, this palace has probably been clear." A voice sounded in Yun Xiang's mind.

   That voice sounded like a female voice, like the sound of heaven, but it had echoes like it came from a distance, and at the same time. There is also a hint of metal that is difficult to detect, icy cold and majestic.

   Yunxiang couldn't help clenching the corners of her skirt with her hands. Drops of sweat fell from his smooth forehead, and it stood out under the dark green light.

   "As the king of the daughter country, do you have anything to explain?"

   Yunxiang opened her mouth slightly, but she could only close her eyes and slowly shook her head.

   "Then, what do you want to say?"

Yunxiang quickly raised her head and said: "The Great Sage... The Great Sage is the recognized king of the demon clan, our daughter country should have goodwill towards him, how can we treat him like an ordinary stray person? It's also a monster."

   "'Demon'? What is a 'Demon'? What is a 'Demon'?" The voice asked coldly.

   For a while, Rue Xiang became more and more nervous, and she blinked her eyes sharply.

"'Monster' is the 'collective name' for all immortal cultivators who have comprehended the art of transformation and cultivated human form except for humans." The voice said meaningfully: "This title refers to the selection of humans as the apostles of the Three Realms. It only appeared after acting on behalf of the destiny. In fact, Ben Gong is also one of the founders of this 'collective name'. You are right, according to reason, Ben Gong is also a demon. Laojun, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Zhenyuan, Bodhi... Who is not a monster who created this 'collective name' together?"

   Rue Xiang was silent, just staring blankly at the emerald wall.

"There has never been a demon clan, it never existed before, and there will never be one in the future. 'Demon' is just the name we use to distinguish humans from all other species. Except for the immortal cultivators who were born in the human race, they are collectively referred to as demons. .It can really represent anything?"

   Yunxiang slowly lowered her head, trembling slightly.

Time passed bit by bit, and in this suffocating atmosphere, Yun Xiang's hand that clenched her skirt was slightly sore and weak - it had nothing to do with spiritual power, it was purely because it came from the front. The coercion, or rather, the inner fear.

   After a long time, the voice said softly, "Tell me your real reason for entertaining them. Ben Gong, I don't want to hear excuses."

   took a deep breath, and Yunxiang said slowly: "The Great Sage... The Great Sage is kind to Yunxiang, and he is kind to the entire demon clan. Empress does not recognize demon clan, but Yunxiang is also a demon, so..."

   "Just for this reason?"

   Rue pursed her lips. Slowly closing his eyes, the helplessness in his expression became more and more obvious.

   On the emerald wall, the shadow appeared again. This time, she did not swipe in an instant like the last time, but hovered. Looking at Rue through the thick emerald wall.

  Rutka lowered her head slowly.

   "If this is the only reason, why not let them leave before Ben Gong wakes up? That way, even if there is dissent in the country, I'm afraid it will be too late to stop it."

   Rueka didn't answer, just listened quietly, unable to argue.

   The hand that was holding the hem of the skirt tightened little by little.

   Under green light. The shoulders trembled slightly. Drops of tears ran down his cheeks and fell on the wet floor tiles in front of him.

"Ben Gong has long been tired of the strife in the world. Here, it should be a paradise, more comfortable and warmer than anywhere else. Even demons and people can coexist here. Of course. Men, do not need Yes. Male creatures are always keen to compete for various resources. They will only continue to create various chaos for their own purposes and destroy the peace of this world. You only need to look at the outside world to understand this. Not only can they not be allowed to exist, but once they break in, they should be completely eliminated. Only in this way can we keep the secrets of the daughter country and prevent the daughter country from being harassed by the outside world.”

   Yunxiang whispered in a tone that was almost pleading: "The Great Sage... The Great Sage will not say it. He will definitely not reveal the secrets of the daughter's kingdom to outsiders."

   "Really? He won't, what about the others with him?"

   Rue was silent.

"Once this case is opened, how will the laws of the daughter's country be implemented in the future? Your aptitude is not very good, even in comparison, it is still a little poor. Except that the cultivation method comes from a famous family, there is almost nothing good to say. The reason why I chose you to be the king of the daughter country is because you came from outside. You know the ugliness of the outside world, and you will not be nostalgic or curious. You are in charge of the daughter country. Others can make this palace more at ease." After a slight pause, the shadow continued: "But what you are doing now, because of external involvement, has violated the rules of the daughter country for thousands of years... Have you lived up to it? What does this palace expect from you?"

   Rue Xiang slowly leaned down and kowtowed.

   "Rene, guilty."

   The voice on the opposite side of the emerald wall stopped, and the other party just stared at her quietly.

   After a short silence, Yunxiang leaned over and cried loudly: "Please punish the goddess!"

  The voice echoed slowly in the underground palace, and then passed through the emerald wall and swept into the distance.

The shadow in the    Jadeite remained motionless, just staring at her quietly.

   "Renxiang is guilty, please punish the mother!"

   After a long time, the shadow slowly raised his head and sighed softly, "You, the queen..."

   Yunxiang maintained her kowtow posture, and a choked sob came out faintly, becoming the only sound in this dark underground palace.

"You are the queen. The queen is the direct ruler of the daughter country, the object of thousands of women's dependence. You should be braver than men. If even you are crying, then, what should you do if you want to let your servants? ?"

   Yunxiang didn't answer, because of this sentence, she couldn't answer.

After a long time, the shadow continued: "Daughter's country is a paradise, not eighteen layers of hell. No one wants to punish you. As long as you are a queen for one day, no one will punish you. Of course, everyone must commit crimes for themselves. You must go back to the palace and swallow the seeds you planted and the fruits that you have grown. Prove to everyone that you are still fit to sit on the throne. Otherwise, someone will clean up your mess for you Yes. At that time, it's hard to say where you should go..."

   Said, the shadow raised its head, swayed and moved upstream little by little.

   This is a half body snake man. The upper body is similar to that of humans, but the lower body has a long snake tail. The scene of a giant snake wandering in the emerald wall is somewhat creepy.

   Soon, she completely disappeared on the jade mirror.

A voice sounded slowly in Yun Xiang's mind: "Remember, it's not driving away or driving away, but according to the usual rules of the daughter country, you can do what you want to do. As for what method you use to achieve it, Ben Gong doesn't want to intervene." (To be continued~^~)
