The Monkey King

I saw Yang Jian bowing respectfully and holding his hands: "Brother Ling Yun, Yang Jian apologizes on behalf of my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is not sensible, so please don't take it to heart."

"No, no!" Ling Yunzi quickly went over and held Yang Jian's arm, then turned to look at Yang Chan's cabin.

Through the gap in the window, you can see the light of the oil lamp that Yang Chan just lit.

Pursing her lips, Ling Yunzi chuckled and said, "Yeah, it's nothing. I'm used to letting people shout and drink. It's all because I'm usually too immoral and have nothing to do with her business."

"My sister-in-law has lost her parents since she was a child, and I, as the older brother, have always been too doting on her, which is why she developed this character. It's all Yang Jian's fault. Please don't worry about it, brother Ling Yun."

After saying that, he was about to bow and hand over his hand again, but was stopped by Ling Yunzi.

"Don't be like this, you are always so serious. I'm afraid we can't even be friends." Ling Yunzi patted Yang Jian's breastplate and walked towards the stone bench not far away.

Yang Jian also followed slowly, and the two sat down on the stone bench.

Ling Yunzi glanced at Yang Jian's face, which seemed to have been sealed with thousands of years of frost, and asked, "Do you all know?"

"Yes." Yang Jian nodded slightly: "After my sister-in-law got here, I have been sending Ao Tianying to follow me. I knew I knew it, but I found it too late. After all... when it comes to pharmacology, I am still inferior to my sister-in-law. .Yang Jian is a reckless man who only knows how to charge into battle."

"Are you still a reckless man?" Ling Yunzi shook his head helplessly and sighed: "You are a general, but also a Confucian general. I dislike people like you the most. You are full of advantages, powerful, gentle, humble and handsome. Even my sister is Prettier than others. Sometimes I think, it’s enough to have people like you in this world, why do we need people like us who are full of shortcomings?"

After saying this, Yang Jian immediately looked at Ling Yunzi, feeling at a loss as to what to say.

Ling Yunzi lazily picked out his ears with his little finger, glanced at him, and said with a strange smile: "I'm just kidding, don't take it to heart. My master didn't even think about your sister's matter, so how can I blame you."

Yang Jian bowed his head slightly again and said: "My sister-in-law has caused trouble in the temple. Yang Jian has a special status and is really not suitable for long-term travel between the Taoist temple and Guanjiangkou. Why don't you see if you can give Patriarch Subhuti some..."

"Hey, stop talking, stop talking." Ling Yunzi rolled his eyes, patted Yang Jian on the shoulder and said: "Besides, we don't have to be friends. It's only natural that we disciples of Xianyue Sanxing Cave cause trouble to our master. I have also caused trouble for the master. Your sister just followed me. The apprentice is like the master. The old man hit me with a paperweight last time. At most, he will change the inkstone next time. I, Ling Yunzi, can still withstand it. "

After that, he laughed to himself.

The corners of Yang Jian's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't really smile.

"What I'm worried about now is her and Junior Brother Wukong. Junior Brother Wukong's qualifications are very comparable. Although they are not closely related, it seems..."

Ling Yunzi did not continue, but glanced at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian just remained silent and didn't speak, with no expression on his face.

"But don't worry. With my master here, no matter what, nothing will happen."

Yang Jian nodded silently, stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness. It's getting late. Brother Ling Yun, it's time for me to go back."

"Going back now?"

"Yes, the hawks and dogs of heaven are always watching. If you leave for too long, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."

"I mean, it's rare for you to come here and not see Yang Chan?" Ling Yunzi raised his head and looked at Yang Jian and asked.

After looking at the small wooden house with the oil lamp lit for a long time, Yang Jian sighed lightly and said, "No. Cicada already knew that I was coming. If she was willing to see me, she would have come out to see me."

There was no emotion or anger in Yang Jian's expression, and he still looked like he was covered in thousands of years of ice. But for some reason, Ling Yunzi felt inexplicably sad when he saw it.

"Why don't you make it clear?" he asked.

"It's not a pity that Yang Jian died, but... there are some things that I'm afraid I can't explain clearly anyway. If she wants to hate me, let her hate me. As long as she can live well, Yang Jian will be satisfied. It's getting late, Brother Ling Yun , Yang Jian said goodbye."

Ling Yunzi nodded slightly.

Yang Jian jumped slightly and turned into a shooting star and disappeared into the vast sky.

Through the gap in the window, Yang Chan stared blankly at the sky for a long time before wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes and turning around.

…

Early the next morning, before the monkey could go out, the wind chime urged the monkey to write a letter to Qingyunzi.

The matter of the two little demons cannot be slowed down. If the Taoist disciples patrolling the mountain find out, they won't be killed directly, but they will be driven down the mountain.

Ling Yunzi went to Subhuti's place early, and then ran to find the monkey with a bag of melon seeds.

At this time, the monkey was sitting cross-legged in the room, meditating.

"In a few days, I'm going to take Yang Chan to Kunlun Mountain. Can we go together?" Ling Yunzi asked with a smile.

"Kunlun Mountains?"

"Yeah." Ling Yunzi said while making tea by himself and eating melon seeds: "After the disciples of Chanjiao moved to Kunlun Mountain collectively after becoming gods, we went to see Yuding. It is etiquette to accept his disciples as apprentices. Let me know in person."

"Then what should I do?"

"This is it." He reached out and picked up a melon seed, put it between his teeth and bit it open. Ling Yunzi then continued slowly: "This is what the master meant."

Hearing this, the monkey opened his eyes slightly: "What do you mean, master?"

"Yes." Ling Yunzi nodded, threw the broken melon seeds into his mouth, chewed it twice, and took a sip of tea: "Master hasn't told you yet, let me give you some fresh air first."

The monkey closed his eyes and became silent.

After breaking through the realm of Nashen, he suddenly felt that the progress of the entire practice was much faster.

Now the spiritual power in the body is not only as simple as tempering the body, but can also be released. More importantly, the hostility in the body has been temporarily suppressed by Subhuti's elixir.

Although there is no special magic weapon to make use of this external spiritual power, for practitioners who use the body as a weapon, this change is also extremely encouraging.

Now his body's strength and toughness have far exceeded the state before the breakthrough.

That night, the power erupted from his body had already exceeded his imagination, but he didn't know if he would still have this power without going berserk.

Now he just wants to stay in the observation to consolidate his achievements, learn more things by the way, and go out?

I really haven’t thought about it.

Seeing that the monkey was silent, Ling Yunzi thoughtfully shook the remaining tea in the cup and said slowly: "That girl Yang Chan actually has a good heart."

After saying that, he turned his eyes sideways towards the monkey, as if he was testing the monkey's reaction.

Seeing that the monkey still didn't answer, he continued: "I have a bad temper, and sometimes I am a little petty, but I will never really do anything to you. Besides, I am beautiful and eye-catching."

The monkey opened his eyes again and said coldly: "Senior brother, I haven't asked about you yet, so let's not talk about Yang Chan. I will see what happens."

After saying this, Ling Yunzi could only smile awkwardly: "It's my business... Actually, I didn't think that she would use a large amount of macerate at the beginning. I actually don't understand the formula. I guess it's only the disciple of Master Yuding." Talents know. I just wanted to be a favor. She understands Yang Jian's practice method, and you definitely need it, so I put you two together to see if I can help a little bit. Hahahaha."

After smiling, Ling Yunzi had to shut up when he found that the monkey was not smiling.

"Senior brother." The monkey slowly raised his head, looked at the swaying green leaves outside the house with some confusion, and asked: "Is it true that practitioners of the Enlightenment Way like this? There are words in their words, thousands of calculations, just to play with others in the palm of their hands. Are you happy?"
