Volume 2 Journey to the West Chapter 42 Recruit An Again

"By the way, Wukong, you just fought with that Nezha, have you ever figured out whether that Nezha is a boy or a girl?" Li Xiang asked curiously.

Hearing this, Wukong glanced at Li Xiang very strangely, and asked, "Big brother, why do you ask this?"

Li Xiang smiled and replied, "It's just curious, just ask." Although Nezha is known as the third prince, it is really strange to see that he is dressed, wearing a lotus coat and combing small braids, but he looks like a little girl, and his voice is also very crisp. ”

"What's so strange about this? Could it be that the eldest brother has any special habits?" Sun Wukong muttered quietly, and then replied: "If my old Sun Xiuwei is not practicing in vain, then there is no accident, Nezha is indeed a girl." Then again, with your cultivation, you won't be unable to see it, right?"

Li Xiang replied with some embarrassment: "Isn't it inconvenient? Because I am not sure of Nezha's gender, if I go to confirm it, I find that it is a woman, it will be too rude, and it is really not a gentleman's doing." I think I still have to take care of my face. ”

"Oh. I see. Sun Wukong nodded and replied with understanding, but he always felt that there was something wrong with Li Xiang's words, but he couldn't say anything wrong, so he had to suppress the feeling that was wrong, and continued to wait for someone from Heaven to come with Li Xiang.

The injured Nezha soon returned to Li Jing's side in a panic. When Li Jing saw Nezha's embarrassed appearance, he was really shocked, he still knew his own children's abilities, if he hadn't relied on his father's identity and Linglong Pagoda's restraint on Nezha, he would never have been able to beat Nezha, even in the heavenly court, not counting the children of those big sects, Nezha's ability can be regarded as one of the best.

The top-grade immortal lotus root is the flesh, coupled with the cultivation that has reached the golden immortal, as well as a first-class magic weapon, even if it is against the ordinary Taiyi Xuanxian, it may not be able to fall behind, and even be able to win, and now looking at Nezha, his expression is panicked, and one hand is hanging on his side, which is obviously a sign of defeat.

Can't wait for Nezha to come over, Li Jing hurriedly drove the cloud to Nezha, and when he came to Nezha, he couldn't wait to ask: "Nezha, what's wrong with you? Why did you hurt like this, did the demon monkey hurt you like this?"

Seeing Li Jing and the army of Heavenly Court, Nezha, who was nervous, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, relaxed, and heard Li Jing's question, Nezha said unwillingly: "Hey, that demon monkey is indeed very capable, let me play all my hole cards, the real strength of the demon monkey last year can't be forced, if it weren't for the demon monkey's inadvertent intention to kill me, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back today." ”

Li Jing was shocked when he heard this, and said, "That demon monkey is so powerful, how can we win with only our current men and horses?"

Nezha didn't answer, but continued: "And the demon monkey erected a flag in the cave, with the words 'Monkey King' written on it, and said wildly that if the Jade Emperor crowned him as the Monkey King, then everything would be easy to do, and he would naturally take refuge, if not, he must be marked with the Lingxiao Treasure Palace!"

Nezha's voice fell, Li Jing frowned even more, and said: "Since the matter has come to this, let's not fight with him for the time being, go to the upper realm first, report the situation here to the Jade Emperor, and let the Jade Emperor make the next decision, whether it is to continue to increase the number of troops, or how to deal with other things, and you just take the opportunity to recuperate from your injuries." ”

He nodded his head, indicating that he agreed with Li Jing's statement. The two soon joined the army. Li Jing briefly introduced the situation, and then returned to Heavenly Court with Nezha and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, and went back to life.

Sun Wukong and Li Xiang were waiting for the arrival of other heavenly soldiers and generals, but the heavenly soldiers and generals did not wait for the Taoist priest to wait for the other six brothers such as the 72 Demon King and the Bull Demon King who came to congratulate.

As soon as this kind of medicine king came to the water curtain cave, he boasted more than that, Sun Wukong was also very happy to hear it, and then he did not shirk the kindness of the demon kings, held a celebration banquet, and drank with the brothers and the demon king.

When the group was drinking happily, Sun Wukong shouted loudly: "Since my old grandson calls himself the Monkey King, you can also call it a great sage together." My eldest brother Li Xiang has taken a good name, and he is called the Great Sage of Beginninglessness. ”

The Bull Demon King in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Brother Xian is reasonable, then I will call him a 'Pingtian Great Sage'." ”

The Jiao Demon King followed and said, "I'll be called the 'Great Sage of the Sea'." ”

Peng Demon King said: "I'll call him a 'Mixed Sky Great Sage'." ”

Lion Camel King: "My name is 'The Great Sage of Moving Mountains'. ”

Macaque King: "My name is 'Ventilation Sage'. ”

Tamarin King: "My name is 'Exorcism Great Sage'." ”

After taking their names, they began to drink and have fun, and after a day of playing, they dispersed.

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace...

After Li Jing took Nezha and the generals into the Lingxiao Palace, he reported to the Jade Emperor for the first time: "The Jade Emperor of Qi, the ministers and others were ordered to raise troops to the lower realm to capture the demon monkey, but they didn't want the demon monkey to be powerful, and we were really invincible, and I hope that the Jade Emperor can add soldiers and horses to exterminate the demon monkey." ”

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor frowned and said, "That Bi Ma Wen is just a demon monkey, how much ability can he have, and he even needs to increase his troops?"

Hearing that Li Jinggang wanted to answer, Nezha grabbed the report first: "Qiyu Jade Emperor, I haven't tried out the specific ability of the demon monkey yet, because even if I try my best, I still can't let the demon monkey use the real ability, I think that even if it is against the ordinary Taiyi Xuanxian, I can win the battle, but against the demon monkey..."

If it weren't for the fact that the demon monkey had no intention of killing me, I wouldn't have been able to escape with just one arm, but would have died under his stick.

Moreover, the demon monkey also spoke wildly, claiming to be the Monkey King, saying that if the Jade Emperor did not give him this title, he would be branded in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace! Nezha said, bowing and waiting for the Jade Emperor's reply.

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor was furious and said: "What a demon monkey dares to be so arrogant! Nezha, you get up first, this matter is no wonder to you, all the soldiers listened to the order, prepared to go to the lower realm, and went to kill the demon monkey!"

While he was talking, Tai Baixing walked out again, and said: "That demon monkey doesn't know how important he is, and he wants to increase the number of soldiers and horses to fight with him, and it is estimated that he can't be subdued for a while, and the labor is moving, it is better for the Jade Emperor to send a kind heart, and then send a decree of Zhao'an, as he said, make him a Monkey King, hang an empty title, and have no real name." ”

The Jade Emperor asked, "Why is it in name only?"

Tai Bai Xing replied: "It is to give him an official title called Monkey King, but don't let him take care of things, don't give him a fortune, temporarily raise it in the heavenly court, let him take care of his heart, no longer be so arrogant, and always cause trouble." ”

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor pondered for a long time, and said to Tai Bai Xing: "Aiqing's performance is very reasonable, it is a good way, let's use what you play first." After speaking, he re-issued the edict and still let Tai Bai Xing do it.

Tai Bai Xing put on the new holy decree, and soon went out of the Nantian Gate and arrived outside the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave. The observations were very different from the previous ones.

The last time I came here, the entrance of the cave was just some little demons playing and playing, but when I came this time, I could see all kinds of demons outside the Water Curtain Cave practicing martial arts, and the guards were much stricter. And as soon as these demons saw Tai Bai Xing, they all stepped forward to do it, seeing this situation, Tai Bai Xing hurriedly said:

"Which one is the leader of everyone, come out first, and I bother you to inform the Great Sage that I am an angel sent by the Jade Emperor, and I have a new will to invite the Great Sage. ”

Sun Wukong in the Water Curtain Cave also heard the words of Tai Bai Xing outside the cave at this time, and at this time, the demons also entered the cave and reported to Sun Wukong: "An old man came outside, saying that the angels of the upper realm have a will to invite you." ”

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "Presumably, it should be the Tai Bai Xing from last time, since he came, not the heavenly soldiers and generals, it should be a good thing this time." After saying that, he ordered the leader to go and welcome the Tai Bai Xing in.

Soon, Tai Bai Xing entered the cave under the guidance of the small boss. As soon as Sun Wukong saw Tai Bai Xing, he first gave a salute, and then said: "Welcome Tai Bai Xing here, forgive me for the sin of being unwelcome." ”

Tai Bai Xing returned the salute, and then said: "The Great Sage doesn't need to be polite, I came here to tell the Great Sage that the Great Sage disliked the official and the small, so he hid away from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and then the people of the Imperial Horse Prison reported, and the Jade Emperor ordered to send troops to arrest you, but I didn't want to finally return from defeat because of the Great Sage's amazing powers."

Originally, the Jade Emperor wanted to issue an order to continue to increase troops, and the Nether came to arrest you, but it was I who took the risk to play, so that the Jade Emperor dispelled the idea of sending troops and agreed to grant the king the official position of Monkey King. ”

Li Xiang on the side looked at the conversation between Tai Bai Xing and Wukong with a smile, and did not interject rashly, and Sun Wukong showed gratitude after listening to Tai Bai Xing's words, and said to Tai Bai Xing with a smile: "Last time, I bothered you to ask for an official title for me, although I was not very satisfied later." And this time I am tired of you for my kind words, my grandson is really grateful, I don't know how to repay. ”

Tai Bai Xing smiled kindly and said: "The Great Sage doesn't need to be like this, no, it's just that the Great Sage has extraordinary abilities, and if he wants to add a capable general to the Heavenly Court, he has also done some things to avoid the labor of the people." ”

Hear the words. Wukong was even more moved, and said: "No matter what, your favor Wukong has received, if there is anyone who can help in the future, just come to my grandson." By the way, speaking of which, there is this official title of 'Monkey King' in the Heavenly Court? Why haven't you heard of it before?"

Tai Bai Xing replied with a smile: "Since I dare to come with the Holy Decree and summon you up, then the relationship between this 'Monkey King' is naturally no problem, if you find that it can't be done after you go, just blame me." ”

Sun Wukong thought about it and felt that it was also, so he thought about asking Tai Bai Xing to stay and have a meal, so that he could fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but Tai Bai Xing still said that the reason last time was that it was the emperor's order, and he resigned, Wukong saw that Tai Bai Xing insisted, so he didn't persuade him more, and personally went to send Tai Bai Xing out of the cave, and Li Xiang also followed Sun Wukong to send Tai Bai Xing out.

Outside the Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong once again instructed Tai Bai Xing to walk slowly, and the Tai Bai Xing also smiled, nodded in response, and then turned around and rushed back to the Heavenly Palace. Sun Wukong also looked at the back of Tai Bai Xing and prepared to return to the cave.

It's just that Sun Wukong didn't notice that before Tai Bai Xing left, he hinted at Li Xiang with his eyes, and Li Xiang also nodded, indicating that he already understood what it meant, and after Tai Bai Xing drove the clouds and left a distance, Li Xiang said hello to Sun Wukong, saying that he was going out for a walk, and then turned into a golden light and followed in the direction where Tai Bai Xing left...
