The Monkey King

After saying this sentence, all the Taoist disciples fell silent, all eyes looking at Mei Shi.

The old Taoist nun had no choice but to purse her lips slightly, bowed and said: "Since my uncle said to ask here, let's ask here."

After that, he faced the monkey and asked calmly: "I want to ask you, have you been to the Lingjie Pond on the mountainside today?"

The monkey looked sideways at Jade Cauldron, and when he saw Jade Cauldron nodding towards him, he replied: "I have indeed been to the small pond on the mountainside, but I don't know if it is the Lingjie Pond you mentioned."

Mei Shi nodded, and then asked: "Why did you go to Lingjie Pond?"

"Take a bath." The monkey replied simply: "I was soaked in the rain last night, so I went to take a bath to refresh myself. The Taoist disciples who met me also saw the clothes I hung up to dry. They can testify."

"When my Taoist disciple first arrived, he only saw clothes but not you."

"Yes." The monkey raised his head and replied calmly: "After I took a bath, my clothes were not dry, so I took a walk in the forest."

"Oh!" As if he had caught something, Mei Shi's eyes suddenly became much sharper. He pointed directly at the monkey and shouted: "But he met my female apprentice in the forest? But his evil intentions failed, so he harmed her!"

The monkey shook his head and said word by word: "Never met."

"Never met?" Mei Shi's eyes widened.

"Never met her before." Monkey raised his head slightly and looked at her.

"How could I not have met him before?"

"Having never met means never meeting. How can it be that we have never met?"

Mei Shi wanted to ask more, but Yuding said slowly: "Since I haven't seen it, there is no need to ask anymore."

As soon as these words came out, the group of Taoist disciples immediately became excited.

"When he says he has never met, does that mean he has never met?"

"He is the one who kills people, there is no need to deny it! It is reasonable for a demon monkey to do such a murderous thing!"

"Whoever kills someone would admit that he killed someone? It must be this monster who lied!"

Yuding coughed twice, looked around at everyone, and shouted: "He lied? Could it be that I lied too?"

This statement immediately suppressed everyone's criticism.

Obviously, he is using his identity to protect the monkey.

Even if he is no longer welcome by his fellow apprentices, he is also the great uncle in the Kunlun Mountains. How can these Taoist disciples challenge the majesty of the Twelve Golden Immortals!

Seeing such a situation, Mei Shi had nothing to say, so he had to say goodbye and led a group of Taoist disciples to turn around and go along the mountain road.

It's just that the Taoist disciples were dissatisfied and cursed all the way.

Looking at the long string of torches surrounding the mountain, Yuding asked in a low voice: "Do you know something but haven't said it yet?"

The monkey hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I guess the murderer is Wang Luqi."

"oh?"

"Today in the forest, I saw him arguing with a woman."

The corners of Yuding's lips were slightly raised, and he turned to look at the monkey and said: "Today he led a team to ask for someone. If you tell this in public, I'm afraid these people won't believe it. Then he will get involved instead. A thief calls out the stigma of catching a thief. It would be better to have fewer things to do. In the way of cultivating immortals, you should be less involved in cause and effect. This attitude and style of action are not like the way of a practitioner. It is more like the way of an enlightened person."

The monkey nodded slightly: "I did read some letters on the Way of Enlightenment, and I picked up some habits."

Yuding shook his head helplessly.

The monkey stared at him in confusion.

The two looked at each other for a long time. Yuding sighed deeply, reached out and patted the monkey on the shoulder, and walked away silently.

"Did I do something wrong?" The monkey scratched his head and thought.

After staying up until late at night, Yang Chan was obviously tired and went to rest early. As for Yuding, Ling Yunzi was discussing something with two magic weapons.

There are three enlightened persons, but only one practitioner. Although Monkey has also read a lot of books on the path of enlightenment, compared to these three people, he obviously still can't talk to each other.

After walking around the cave twice, the monkey sneaked out of the cave again and waved the cloud stick.

Perhaps because he is serious and willing to endure hardships, he learns things very quickly. In a short period of time, he has mastered a set of stick skills, and that weapon is even more convenient.

It's just that external skills, without personal guidance, always feel like something is missing in the end.

When he got excited, the monkey laughed loudly, and a cloud-walking stick danced in his hand, causing dust to fly all over the sky.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel something and dodged to the side, and there were two silver needles as thin as hair on a rock behind him!

Under the moonlight, the two embroidery needles were nailed to the hard blue rock, emitting a faint cold light.

"Is this... a sneak attack?" Monkey couldn't help but shuddered and looked around.

Under the moonlight, the breeze blows, and the shadows of the woods sway, except for the wind blowing the green leaves and the chirping of insects and cicadas, there is nothing else.

Looking back, I found that the two silver needles were gone, leaving only two invisible marks on the blue rock.

"Who is it, come out -!" the monkey shouted and looked around.

There was still silence all around.

He slowly straightened up, tightened his grip on the cloud stick in his hand, and scanned carefully with his eyes, but found nothing.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he tried to obtain the other party's position through spiritual perception, but still found nothing.

Although when it comes to spiritual perception, the path of the practitioner is much inferior to the path of the enlightened person. After all, it is not as delicate as them, but the monkey's talent for spiritual perception is also first-rate.

Obviously, either the person who came was strong enough to crush the monkey, or... the opponent had already deliberately concealed his spiritual power.

Pacing slowly, the monkey walked around the clearing, his eyes still constantly searching the shadows around him.

Suddenly, another sound was heard breaking through the air. Before the silver needle could hit the ground, the monkey had already jumped into a group of trees!

This leap actually hid his spiritual power.

Suddenly, all sounds disappeared.

Under the moonlight, the breeze is still blowing the green leaves, and the light and shadow are intertwined.

At this time, there was no movement in either the open space or the green forest, except for the occasional sound of animal sounds.

The flowing clouds in the sky slowly blocked the moonlight.

Behind the big tree, a figure hesitantly reached out to call back the silver needle drilled into the rock not far away.

But with this move, a long stick was seen coming through the air from the other direction, and it was much faster than the silver needle that was summoned back!

"Oops!" Just as he was about to get the silver needle, the long stick was already close at hand.

As a last resort, she had no choice but to duck to the side, but this time she ducked into a blind spot.

Before he could stand still, his throat was already locked by a furry hand!

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moonlight drifted down, illuminating each other's faces.

She has long black hair tied up in a bun, a pair of black jade-like eyes with shining eyes, snow-like skin, a beautiful figure, and an orange dress.

In front of him was a woman who looked like a fairy.

The moment she saw the monkey clearly, the woman's eyes widened slightly, as if in fear, but the monkey bared its canine teeth and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? Why did you attack me? Tell me!"

The hand clasping his throat suddenly tightened slightly.

Taking a deep breath, the woman said: "Shi Yuxuan, a disciple of Yuhua Temple, I just tested your strength just now."

"Oh?" Monkey stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek: "Then why do you want to test my strength?"

"Because... I want to see if you can make Junior Sister Yu He unable to fight back."

"Yuhe?"

"That's the one who died in the forest today...my junior sister."

"So you know now?"

Shi Yuxuan slowly closed her eyes, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, as if she was waiting for a fatal blow.
