The young girl looked at the scenery outside the carriage and said, "Uncle Zhang, I heard that there are many spiritual mountains and spiritual lakes at the junction of Wu and our Dayu country, and the scenery is very beautiful. ”

"In these mountains, there is plenty of spiritual energy, all kinds of spiritual flowers and plants are relatively luxuriant, and there are indeed many places where the scenery is very beautiful. But the princess must know that it is because of the abundant aura here, which also makes there many dangerous spirit beasts and demon beasts here. The old man said respectfully to the girl.

The princess said, "But I heard that there is a spiritual lake not far from where we are now, not only is the scenery very beautiful, but also the surroundings of the spiritual lake are very safe, I want to go there to see it." By the way, bathe in the lake and absorb more water aura, okay? ”

The old man persuaded: "Princess, this is the first time that the prince has asked you to come out alone to do things for him, although this trip to Wu went very well, but after all, the prince still has some powerful enemies." If it's a sideline, I'm afraid it will be made by people. ”

The princess coquettishly said: "Oh, with Uncle Zhang, how can there be bad people within a hundred miles of your exploration skills that will not be discovered?" Uncle Zhang will go, it happens to be not too far from here." ”

The old man said helplessly: "Alas... Okay, but you're going to promise me I can't play for too long. ”

The princess smiled happily: "Haha, okay, Uncle Zhang, you spoil me the most, let's go." The convoy then changed its original route and headed towards Linghu...

"Wow!! this spiritual lake is so beautiful!" The princess, who had been in the palace for a long time, was completely fascinated by the scenery in front of her. The old man used his best detection technique to probe the surroundings in detail, and found that there were only some small animals around and there was no danger, so he turned to the guards and said, "You are guarding the perimeter, and if you find an abnormality, you will immediately send out a signal." ”

"Yes, Master Zhang. The young general led the guards to turn and leave.

The sun is warm, and the golden sunlight shines on the surface of the lake like a jade mirror, reflecting the beautiful jade-like figure of the princess in the lake, which appears and disappears in the lake, becoming the most beautiful scenery of this spiritual lake. . . .

Suddenly, a maid shouted, "Princess, look, it looks like a spirit monkey!" Spirit beasts are so rare that even the royal family regards them as treasures, and owning a spirit animal is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a manifestation of dignity.

"I see! look! it runs up to the tree, let's chase it!" the princess was so excited that she jumped out of the lake without even putting on her clothes, and chased after the monkey in the direction in which the monkey was running. At this time, I only heard someone exclaim, and then a figure fell from the tree...

Wukong suddenly crashed into my arms for some reason, and I was so frightened that I fell straight from the tree while I was still asleep. Before I came back to my senses, I saw a naked girl appear in front of my eyes, this plot is too bloody, right?! The girl I saw for the first time in more than ten years in this world turned out to be naked!

"Ah!! who are you!!How are you here?!!Come!Come!," the girl in front of her shouted hoarsely. I immediately turned my back to the girl and said, "Girl, don't shout, I fell asleep in this tree last night, I didn't know you were here, misunderstanding!

At this time, two personal maids came running over to help the girl get dressed, and the guards around me also rushed over from all over to surround me. Seeing this formation, I knew that I was in trouble, so I hurriedly said: "Everyone, everyone, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest, I have no malicious intentions." ”

At this time, the princess shouted: "Nonsense! You secretly approached this princess and wanted to have bad intentions! Kill him for me!"

At this time, an old man said in a loud voice, "Stop first!" and then looked at me and said, "Dare to ask why this little Taoist is here?

I hurriedly saluted the old man and said, "Hello old man, I was passing by here alone last night and saw that it was getting late, and I fell asleep in this tree. I slept so hard that I didn't even know anyone was coming, what a misunderstanding. ”

"You've been on this tree since last night?" Although the old man clearly knew that it was impossible for someone to sneak in quietly in the arrangement they had just arranged on the periphery, the old man was still a little unwilling to ask again. He may be inferior in terms of force, but how could the probing technique he is so proud of go wrong!?

I replied, "Yes, old sir, I have been asleep since last night, or if my monkey had woken me up, I would still be asleep." ”

The old man continued to ask, "Well, dare to ask the little Taoist chief, where did you pass through here, and where are you going?"

I pointed in the direction I came out and said, "I'm coming out of the mountains over there, and I'm going to go north." ”

The young general suddenly shouted: "Nonsense! That deep mountain is inaccessible and full of dangers, how can you come out of it alive alone! Besides, you say as if you were born in that mountain, and you have to make up a little common sense to lie." ”

I immediately retorted, "What you think is common sense must be right? How many worlds have you seen? I also tell you that since I was born, I have grown up with Master in that mountain valley, and you are so big that I have seen the first living people except for my Master!"

The old man was a little surprised when he heard what I said: "I can't imagine that according to legend, there are masters living in seclusion here in this deep mountain, and it is true.

I said, "I don't think I have any sect, my master never told me, and my master specifically instructed me not to say his name before letting me go out of the mountain." ”

At this time, the princess said: "Uncle Zhang, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he is obviously playing tricks and wants to take the opportunity to get out." ”

The old man groaned for a moment and said, "No, princess. It is an inaccessible place that ordinary pedestrians do not pass through here, and can only pass through it when they come out of the mountains. Moreover, even the old man's exploration technique failed to detect him in advance, indicating that this Taoist master's state of mind has melted into nature. This Taoist elder is young, but his breath is so pure and peaceful, the old man has read countless people in his life, and he is confident that what this Taoist chief said is true. ”

The old man was more convinced when he spoke, but the princess was still a little unwilling, so she said to me: "Even if you don't have malicious intentions, then this matter can't be left like that, unless you pay me the spirit monkey in your arms, then the previous things will be written off." ”

I bowed deeply to the princess and said, "Princess, Xiaodao apologizes to you for the misunderstanding that happened between us just now. It's just that I, the spirit monkey, have been my companion for many years, and I can't give it to you. ”

At this time, the old man said: "Princess, don't mess around, the meaning of this spirit monkey should be extraordinary for this Taoist, don't be strong." ”

The old man then said to me: "This Taoist, this is the only daughter of Wang Yiyi side by side with the word Dayu - Princess Jingyue Wanjiao, the old man is Zhang Zhiyi, a retainer of the palace, and the young general's name is Li Yu. I don't know what to call the chief, where are you going north, maybe we can go the same way."

I hurriedly replied: "Old man, Xiaodao is still young and can't afford you to be called a Taoist. Master gave me the name You Yuzhen, if you don't dislike it, just call me Yuzhen. Actually, I didn't know where I was going to the north, but Master just asked me to go down the mountain and didn't say where I was going. Besides, I don't know exactly where I am now. Looks like you have something to do, so let's take care of it first. ”
