The Monkey King

The day after the monkeys made a scene in the Sutra Pavilion, everything in the Taoist temple seemed to have returned to peace.

The bright sunshine shines through the cracks in the window and casts dots on the floor.

Dantongzi leaned back, dipped some ointment in his hand, and applied it bit by bit on the wound on his shoulder. He carefully copied the scriptures with one hand and dipped in ink from time to time.

"Old man, you actually threw an inkstone at me... ugh. I've only seen him hit the eighth junior brother before."

Qingyunzi on the side carefully pounded the medicine in a jar, and applied the powder little by little to the bamboo slips embedded with gauze on the side. He said slowly: "Master hates fellow sects killing each other the most in his life. Isn't this a crime?" Is it a taboo?"

"Me!" Dan Tongzi was speechless for a moment, pursed his lips, and sighed: "I'm so angry, and it's not Yang Chan who's so angry. Do you think it's really possible for me to kill that monkey?"

"I think it's possible." Qingyunzi glanced at him teasingly and continued with his work.

Dan Tongzi glared back with jealousy and watched him finish crushing this medicine and then another, endlessly.

"Hey, it's not serious, is it? I need so much medicine for this injury?"

"Who said I got it for you? I got it for Monkey Sun."

"What? Are you okay?" Dan Tongzi suddenly sat up: "You did it for him? Good people asked you to do it, and it's me who is the one who is embarrassed. You don't even think about who made me like this. You don’t want to think about who I am helping to vent my anger on?”

"Don't get involved with me. My heart has been broken for a long time. You are framing me."

"Am I framing you?" Dan Tongzi was dumbfounded. After thinking about it, he laughed again: "You're so smart this time."

Qingyunzi also smiled: "You are already trapped. I have to stay stuck and not come out. Master doesn't care about things. There must be someone who understands in this view, right? In fact...it doesn't matter if you think about it."

Seeing Qingyunzi's refreshing look, Dantongzi felt a little comforted. He lay on the floor with his hands on his hands and looked at the ceiling for a long time, and said: "Actually, I really lost last night. He really forced me He used his hands, not only his hands, but also his feet. He was really a crazy monkey, he was desperate for his life, I have never seen anything like this. Do you think if I worked as hard as he did, wouldn’t even Yang Jian be my opponent? "

"You just realized you lost? You almost didn't even use the sword." Qingyunzi said quietly from the side.

"Tsk, can't you save some face for me? I've already admitted it and you're adding insult to injury?" Dan Tongzi immediately glared at me.

Qingyunzi pretended not to see it, turned sideways and started to prepare the medicine.

"Forget it, it's over. It's a loss of face to get angry with your junior brother. If it weren't for the fact that you helped me smelt weapons and make elixirs for so many years, I wouldn't have done this for you. In the end, it ended up I myself am disgraced. I also made the master anxious, hey..."

After sighing, the expression on his face suddenly changed and he looked at Qingyunzi.

And Qingyunzi slowly raised his head: "Someone is coming."

Not long after, the door of the attic corridor was pushed open, and a guy in purple robes squeezed in with a smile, and said, "Hello, two senior brothers."

Dan Tongzi immediately rolled his eyes at him with disgust and turned away from him.

Qingyunzi put down what he was doing and smiled: "Lingyun. Didn't you just leave? Why are you back?"

Ling Yunzi glanced at Dantongzi's back and said with a smile: "Didn't I accept Yang Chan as my apprentice? I was supposed to come back in a few days and take her to see Yuding. Becoming a disciple is entirely voluntary, but in the final analysis, I am also stealing someone else's apprenticeship. The master has told me that I must take the time to come and pay homage to him."

Qingyunzi said oh and nodded.

However, Ling Yunzi frowned and stared at him, which made Qing Yunzi feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Senior Brother Qingyun, don't you ask me something?"

"What do you want to ask?" Qingyunzi was confused by what he said.

"Don't you ask me, since it was a few days ago, why did you suddenly come back early?"

As soon as these words came out, Dantong Zizi gritted his teeth, but Qingyunzi still seemed to understand and asked: "Then, why did you come back early?"

Upon hearing Qing Yunzi's real question, Ling Yunzi immediately put on a solemn expression and said seriously: "Originally, I have been very busy with things at hand these days. I counted the days and couldn't advance even a moment. But last night Suddenly I heard that Senior Brother Dantong suffered a crime, so I am especially..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dan Tongzi had already turned over and sat up and shouted: "You are done or not. If you want to laugh at me, just say so! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Ouch! Senior Brother Dantong!" Ling Yunzi pretended to be shocked. He touched his beardless chin with his hand and carefully looked at the injuries on Dantongzi's body. He said with regret: "Oh, oh, oh, oh! What a sin! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, Was it hurt by Junior Brother Wukong? Don’t be afraid! I’ll help you teach him a lesson later!”

"You!" Dan Tongzi suddenly lost his temper. He grabbed the bamboo slips that Qingyunzi used to make medicine and threw it towards Dan Tongzi: "I will beat him so damn hard today that even the master can't recognize him. You come!"

Dodging the bamboo slips thrown by Dan Tongzi, seeing that the other party had reached out to draw his sword, Ling Yunzi quickly turned around and ran out of the door, stepped on the fence, flew far away, turned around and shouted: "Senior brother, can you?" You need to take a good rest and I will come see you later, junior brother."

In the corridor, Dan Tongzi was shirtless and waving the sword in his hand, cursing: "Get away as far as you can! Don't come back again!"

Looking at Ling Yunzi's retreating figure, Qingyunzi let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Ling Yun is still the same. Among the nine brothers among us, Junior Brother Ling Yun is probably the happiest."

Dan Tongzi put the sword back into the scabbard, sat down cross-legged, and spat bitterly: "Hang around with a bunch of goblins all day long, no matter how happy you are, that's just how it is. Heartless."

Qingyunzi said: "This is not a good thing. I am four hundred years younger than you, but I look older than you."

After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.

After packing up all the medicines on hand, Qingyunzi shouted again at the top of his lungs: "Xu Jin——!"

After a while, the door opened and Xu Jin knelt down respectfully: "Master, what are your orders?"

Qingyunzi pointed to the medicine bag on the side and said: "Send it to your uncle Sun, three times a day, for internal and external use, everything is clearly written in it."

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment. After confirming that he heard correctly, he reached for the medicine bag, closed the door, and turned to leave.

After being silent for a while, Dan Tongzi asked slowly: "Are you trying to reconcile the old relationship?"

Seeing that Qingyunzi didn't speak, Dantongzi said lazily: "Actually, what you said at the beginning is absolutely right. This monkey's character, as a practitioner, will definitely cause trouble in the future. And I think his qualifications are not ordinary. It's so good, it's incredible. After doing this twice, I feel more and more that you are right. No one can afford this kind of person."

"After all, we are senior brothers. There is no need to make things too tense. Let Master think about those troublesome things in the future. We have nothing to do with them." With that, he walked out of the corridor and faced the people who had just left the door downstairs. Xu Jin explained: "Just say it was given by your uncle Dantong."

Xu Jin hesitated for a moment, nodded and replied, "Yes!"

"Get out!" Dan Tongzi hurriedly ran out of the house, pointed at Xu Jin and shouted, "You must dare to say that I sent it to you. Come back and see if I kill you!"

For a moment, Xu Jin was at a loss and had no choice but to look at Qing Yunzi for help.

"Okay, okay, just say I gave it to you." Qingyunzi smiled helplessly.

After hearing these words, Xu Jin bowed to the two of them and turned to leave.

"Aren't you overthinking it?" Qingyunzi glanced at Dantongzi and asked.

"I can do it myself if I want, so you don't need to bother me!" After saying that, Dan Tongzi walked into the room angrily: "Now delivering medicine makes me feel like I'm coming to apologize. I'm not that shameless. !”

…

At dusk, in Ling Yanli, the monkey was lying on his back on the couch, seemingly still in a deep coma.

However, despite being unconscious, the muscles in his body were tense and showed no signs of relaxing.

His breathing was still rapid, his eyes were tightly closed, and his expression was painful, as if he was having a nightmare.

"Monkey... how is Uncle Sun's injury?" Feng Chime asked with concern.

Subhuti sat on the edge of the couch and reached out to check the monkey's pulse: "My teacher helped stabilize his injury. I will use the medicine sent by Qingyun three times a day and he will recover within a few days. It's just that he will be cured in a few days." The hostility is still there.”

After hearing Subhuti's words, Feng Ling's mood calmed down a little.

For an ancient great immortal like Subhuti, even resurrection from the dead is not a difficult task. But it is not that easy to eliminate hostility out of thin air.

Turning around, Subhuti's eyes swept over Yang Chan's body without stopping at all. He turned to look at the wind chime and said, "I will ask Yu Yi to send a pair of shackles to me later."

"shackles?"

Subhuti reached out for a piece of white cloth, wiped off the stains on his hands, looked at the deeply comatose monkey and said: "He will wake up soon, but his anger has not been eliminated. If left unchecked, something will happen. Let's put him aside for now Handcuff me and let me think carefully about the solution."

"Thank you, Master." Feng Chime quickly handed over his hand.

After Subhuti left, Yang Chan said disdainfully: "To get rid of the hostility, just kill. What else is needed?"

Wind Chime didn't say anything, but walked over to tidy up the monkey's bedding, and stroked the monkey's rough face with his small hands, his expression full of worry.

"Hey, didn't you say he's fine? Why are you worried when Subhuti is here?" Yang Chan said, lying on the bed.

Feng Chime turned around and glared at her, with a rare scowl on his face.

"It's you who caused the monkey to become like this!"

"If I hadn't provoked Dantongzi to draw his sword, do you think Subhuti would have come to the rescue? The wild monkey would have been beaten again by then."

"That was also your fault!" Feng Chime shouted: "If it weren't for you, how could Monkey have gone against Master Dantong! It's all you! It's all you!"

"Hmph!" Yang Chan bit her lip and said angrily: "This monkey provoked Qingyunzi before I came here. How come I caused them to fight? I'm too lazy to argue with an ignorant girl like you!"

After that, she turned around and left.

She waited until late at night before returning to the Taoist temple, holding two little demons in her hands that were completely defenseless.
