The Monkey King

That night, everyone in Kunlun Mountain was tense.

No one dares to be alone because the devil is hiding in the shadows. Every tree must be searched carefully, because just one carelessness can cost one's life.

There has never been a large-scale search, and they dig deep into the ground to search, because they all know how dangerous this existence is.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he still got nothing in the end.

And he, wearing silver armor and a mask, ran wildly all night, ran for hundreds of miles, crossed the monuments of Kunlun Mountain, took the lives of two Taoist disciples, crossed mountains, jumped over rivers, and stepped on After crossing the plain, I finally saw the rising sun in the east, fainting on the bank of an unknown river.

He has left, but the fear he left behind has not diminished at all. Instead, it has fermented as time goes by, becoming more and more chilling, as if the ferocious monster monkey will pop out of a corner at any time.

The entire Kunlun Mountains have long been in panic.

Two nights later, the drizzle woke him up with a bone-chilling coldness.

Dragging his scarred body, he hid under a giant tree that stretched to the sky, curled up and gnawed on the two half-rotten fruits he had picked up, looking up at the hazy sky.

The hands holding the fruit were still trembling, and the lips were chapped.

The roar of nocturnal beasts in the distance suddenly made him feel that except for the blood-stained armor on his body, everything seemed to be back to before worshiping in the Three-Star Cave of the Setting Moon. Just having the Xingyun Stick within reach gave him a lot of peace of mind.

Now, at least, he is no longer afraid of those wild beasts in the jungle.

But we should also thank them. It was they who taught the monkeys the rules of survival on the way west.

He reached into the breastplate and took out the well-preserved feather. He smoothed the knotted hair with his hands and looked at it carefully. His eyes gradually became dull.

"I thought I would be able to go back to Xie Yue Sanxing Cave to learn the seventy-two changes soon... Why? Eighth Senior Brother. Is there something about Wukong that makes you dissatisfied?"

Thinking about it, he smiled bitterly.

How is Yang Chan? Did Yang Jian rescue her? Also, does the master know what’s going on here?

Putting the feather in his arms, he found that he actually missed the old man to some extent and was counting on the old man to make the decision for him.

In all these years, he had never expected anyone to do anything for him. Even if fate is unfair, he will only grit his teeth and fight with his own hands. Now, he actually had this idea...

Although the old man taught himself like herding cattle, I still respected him from the bottom of my heart.

"He should still know." Looking up, Monkey sighed deeply.

There seems to be nothing in this world that he doesn't know.

As long as he knew something was wrong with him, he would definitely not ignore it. Yes, how could he not care?

And he has his own destiny card in his hand. No matter where he goes, he can find who he is.

Now, all he needs to do is wait calmly.

The old man will definitely come to pick him up, for sure.

Under the ancient tree that supports the sky, the monkey nested wetly all night.

The next day, he treated the wound by himself with some pharmacological knowledge he learned in Xianyue Sanxing Cave, and found some herbs and swallowed them dry.

After that, he began to live his life as before climbing Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

He hid in the mountains like a wild beast, practicing day by day, lying in bed at night, picking fruits to eat when he was hungry, and drinking from mountain springs when he was thirsty.

At this time, he has entered the middle stage of Nashen, and the beasts in the woods can no longer pose a threat to him. As long as he is careful, he will not easily step into the territory of those powerful monsters.

It was just the long wait that made him worried.

He waited day after day.

Things seemed to be far beyond his expectation.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the injuries on his body had gradually recovered, but there was still no one looking for him.

The rainy season here is coming, and it rains continuously all day long. Everywhere in the damp woods is wet, which makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The more comfortable places are either occupied by other monsters or humans.

I didn't want to cause trouble, so I could only endure it and continue to live like a savage.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed, and there is still no one coming from Xianyue Sanxing Cave.

"Have I been abandoned by the whole world?" He suddenly had this thought.

At that moment, Monkey's heart was undoubtedly filled with panic. This panic was even greater than when he was turned away at Xie Yue Sanxing Cave.

He began to suspect that things were going far beyond his expectations.

Maybe the Tianhe navy knew his exact identity and had come to visit him, so the master decided to cut ties with him.

Perhaps the master suddenly realized that accepting a monkey demon as his apprentice would cause so much trouble, so he decided to expel himself from the apprenticeship.

Maybe……

Maybe all of this is still part of Ling Yunzi's calculations. Like Qing Yunzi and Dan Tongzi, he wanted to crush him out of the school.

There are many possibilities, but no matter how you think about it, the monkey can't think of a reason that is beneficial to itself and why Subhuti doesn't come to him. In a daze, he remembered the words Subhuti said before chasing Sun Wukong out of his disciples in "Journey to the West", which made him feel extremely uneasy.

He began to lose sleep every night, lived in panic, and became irritable and restless.

It wasn't until the third month after arriving in this forest that he finally couldn't sit still.

It is now impossible to make the long journey back to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

He took off his conspicuous armor, leaving only his white bottom shirt, and put on the Taoist uniform that was already in ruins but had the words "Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave" embroidered on the collar, and began to venture back.

The originally one-night journey took him four days.

After crossing the outer defense line of Kunlun Mountain, he found that the warships suspended in the sky were gone, and the Tianhe navy camp was only left with a pile of debris scattered here and there.

The entire Kunlun Mountains were very quiet, as quiet as when he first arrived.

But the quieter it was, the more worried he became.

The experience made him become suspicious. Even his senior brother who lived so closely every day would betray him. What else would he not betray?

When he saw the scene in front of him, the first thing he thought of was - could this be a trap?

He hid quietly for three days, three whole days. During these three days, he didn't even dare to close his eyes and carefully observed the movements around him.

The heavenly soldiers disappeared, and the lives of the Taoist disciples seemed to have returned to their original state, except that they never saw people walking alone, which obviously still tabooed the existence of monkeys.

A Taoist disciple of the God Refining Realm lying in his master's bedroom could be killed silently. How could the monks in the middle or even lower levels of Kunlun Mountain not be afraid of such an opponent?

And it is precisely this group of monks who account for more than 4.99 million of the five million Taoist disciples.

As for those real great immortals like Zhenren Taiyi, they would not care about such things at all, and even felt that letting their disciples live under the shadow of monkeys would help strengthen their motivation for practice.

After three days of observation, Monkey felt somewhat confident.

He quietly began to approach Jinxia Cave, but he did not dare to get too close. He just knelt on the top of the mountain in the distance and quietly observed.

During this period, he saw Ling Yunzi twice and Master Yuding three times, but the monkey still did not dare to come forward.

Needless to say, Ling Yunzi, the more he thought about it, the less trust he felt in this person.

As for the real person Yuding...

Why didn't he happen to be there that day? If it were before, Monkey would definitely think this was just a coincidence, but now, he doesn't dare to be careless at all.

In fact, the person he has been waiting for is named Shi Yuxuan.

Now it seems that this person is the only one I can trust. Even if there is an eventuality, I can completely control her with my own cultivation.

Contact Shi Yuxuan first, find out the situation of Yuding and Ling Yunzi, and then make further plans.

This is the only solution the monkey can think of.

However, he stayed there for three days. During these three days, he saw Shi Yuxuan no less than twenty times, but she never left the confines of Jinxia Cave.

You know, Ling Yunzi will definitely notice as soon as the monkey enters the range of Jinxia Cave. It's hard to say what will happen then.

Just like this, we waited for a total of seven days. On the seventh day, the monkey's eyes, which had always been incredibly energetic, were already covered with bloodshot eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble.

A white figure unexpectedly appeared in front of him.
