Chapter 22: The Mysterious "Monkey Head"
The next story is actually not so ups and downs, at least in Zhu Gangguan's story, there are not too many outstanding places. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the one hand, in the name of Chang'e, in fact, she is just a dancing girl raised in captivity by the heavenly court to perform for fun. Although he has a peerless appearance, he can only live in a narrow circle, lingering and without any freedom at all. On the other side, he is the commander and marshal of the 200,000 Tianhe Water Army, which can be described as a high-ranking and powerful man, coupled with his dignified appearance and gentleness. Under Zhu Gangguan's fierce pursuit, how could Gong Wei Chang'e, who was not deeply involved in the world, be able to resist.
So, the two naturally came together, before the flowers and under the moon, you and me.
It's a pity that the two who were carried away by love forgot that there was still an iron tree in the heavenly realm.
In order to facilitate the rule, the heavenly court forbade the immortals to fall in love, so it specially refined an iron tree, but whenever there is an immortal love sinus, the iron tree will bloom as a warning.
So, the East Window incident.
Zhu Gang was left in office for investigation, and Lian Ni was also grounded waiting to be released.
According to the precepts of the Heavenly Court, once this kind of thing happens, the punishment is generally light or not severe, and the so-called severity refers to the level of status, that is, it varies from person to person.
After all, Zhu Gangguan is in an important position and has a pivotal role in the Heavenly Court, even the Jade Emperor can't bear to be punished heavily. And Lian Ni is just a little Chang'e, and according to the rules, she naturally has to bear all the responsibility.
In other words, the punishment for Zhu Gangguan will be to raise the board high, and then gently put it down, admonish it, and it won't be long before he can be reinstated. As for Lian Ni, it will be scorched by the fire of the Nine Shadows until the soul is gone.
Isn't it fair?
In this world, where is there fairness.
Even in the Heavenly Court, this kind of punishment is commonplace, and it is just common sense.
It's a pity that the ruler of the heavenly court still underestimated Zhu Gangguan's infatuation, and after learning that Lian Ni was about to be punished, he immediately quit, which almost caused a mutiny in the Tianhe water army, and his willful behavior can be said to be a slap in the face to the ruler of the heavenly court.
As a result, the Jade Emperor was furious and was about to behead Zhu Gangguan, a guy who didn't know the times, to correct the law.
But when Zhu Gangguan was escorted to the demon slaying platform, it was a rebirth accident.
In the end, Zhu Gangguan was spared death and was taken into the six wells.
Six wells, but there is one person who has been waiting for a long time, it is the Tai Bai Xing, who is an official in the same dynasty.
Tai Bai Xing naturally not only saw off Zhu Gangguan, but also secretly aimed at himself.
"The old man of Tai Bai Xing promised me that as long as he completed that matter, he could not only intercede with the Jade Emperor and reinstate me as an official, but also ensure Lian Ni's safety. The former, I don't care about it, but how can I ignore Lian Ni's life. Speaking of emotion, Zhu Gangguan was already in tears.
"Under the circumstances, I had to accept Tai Bai Xing's orders and devote myself to the six wells, but unexpectedly, I accidentally entered the animal path, was reincarnated as a pig, and embarked on the path of demon cultivation. Fortunately, the memory of his previous life was not lost, and he soon had a good cultivation. Then, following the guidance of the Tai Bai Xing, he climbed the monkey and won his trust, and finally led it to the land of no return. But just when I became famous and traveled to Jiuzhou to wait for the call of heaven, what I got was a thunderbolt from the sky. Those horsemen in Heavenly Court actually unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, not only completely forgetting me, but even some people brought up the old things again, and put Lian Ni and Yuexin into the beast path. Although I was extremely angry at Heavenly Court in my heart, I thought about it that this was not necessarily a bad thing. If we can find Lian Ni and lose the shackles of Heavenly Court, won't we be able to be together? Zhu Gangguan's expression was gloomy and uncertain, sometimes angry, sometimes joyful, "So, I traveled all over Jiuzhou, and finally found out about Lian Ni's whereabouts thirty-five years ago." ”
"But...... When I arrived......" Speaking of this, Zhu Gangguan's whole body suddenly exuded an endless violent aura, and the startled Zhan Yibai hurriedly retreated and protected the sleeping pair of children.
"When I arrived, I saw a skinned corpse." In the midst of his eyes, Zhu Gangguan's eyes were blood-red.
"To others, it's just a cute cat, but she's the lover I've been haunting in my dreams for nearly a thousand years." Zhu Gang roared, and his handsome face was indescribably hideous.
"So, in order to take revenge, you nearly destroyed a tribe of a thousand people?" Zhan Yibai has already guessed the ending.
It's really hard to tell who's right and who's wrong.
The lover died for no reason, and Zhu Gangguan took revenge angrily, which is natural.
And in the eyes of that tribe, what they killed was just a cat, and everyone could use it as food in a meal, let alone a cat.
It's just that the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and it's also to blame that the tribe has done a lot of bad things, and it was punished by God, so it ushered in the catastrophe.
"But why didn't you kill them all then, just so that they could enjoy more suffering?" Zhan Yibai felt that this person, no, this pig demon hated because of love, and his temperament was already a little crazy.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I could find Lian Ni's soul as soon as possible, this tribe would have ceased to exist a long time ago." Zhu Gangguan snorted coldly, "For this reason, I did not hesitate to enter the Netherworld, and finally let Lian Ni's soul be reincarnated as a human." Later, she secretly protected the left and right until she grew up and apprenticed to Shushan. ”
"It's a pity that when you revealed your identity to her, it was self-defeating, and it made people mistakenly think that you wanted to plot wrongdoing, and you were chased and killed by Shushan." Although Zhan Yibai couldn't guess, he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.
"Not bad. It's just that Shushan is not on my old pig's heart, but I was afraid of causing trouble to Lian Ni, so I had to leave Shushan in pain, and it was not until more than two years ago that I found this tribe again. Zhu Gangguan smiled coldly.
Needless to say, the rest of the story.
The appearance of Zhu Gangguan undoubtedly brought disaster to the recuperating tribe again, and there was a scene in front of him.
Zhan Yibai was silent in thought.
Although before he came, he and the rat master guessed that there must be a secret behind this matter, but he really didn't expect it to be so complicated.
Now it's a bit ridiculous to talk about subduing demons and eliminating demons. Not to mention that Zhan Yibai is far from being the opponent of this pig demon, even if he is, what reason does he have to do it.
In the past two years, although Zhu Gangguan has done excessively, he has never really killed anyone, just constant harassment. But even so, it has put the small village in a desperate situation.
"Okay, now that the story is over, it's time for us to get down to business." Zhu Gangguan adjusted his mood in time and showed a gentle smile.
Zhan Yibai was taken aback, and then he remembered.
From the words outside the temple just now, it is not difficult to hear that this Zhu Gangguan actually deliberately led himself here, what is the matter?
How did he know that he would come?
Again, is this sacrifice of boys and girls just a play to draw oneself in?
All kinds of doubts suddenly hit my heart, and I scratched Zhan Yibai's whole body.
As if seeing the doubts in Zhan Yibai's heart, Zhu Gangguan waved his hand, and a table and two chairs appeared out of thin air in the temple, and the tables were full of wine and food.
"It's a long story, why don't we talk about it while we eat?" Zhu Gangguan's invitational exhibition is also white.
After the two sat down as the guest of honor, Zhan Yibai really didn't have much interest in eating, and he wanted to speak a few times, but was interrupted by Zhu Gangguan with persuasion.
It wasn't until three rounds of wine that Zhu Gangguan slowly solved the doubts in Zhan Yibai's heart.
"Yes, this time, I deliberately asked that small village to sacrifice boys and girls, just to attract you here, but I didn't expect that it also attracted a group of bull noses." As soon as Zhu Gangguan opened his mouth, he dispelled one of Zhan Yibai's doubts.
Without waiting for Zhan Yibai to speak, Zhu Gangguan waved his hand to interrupt, "It's not just today's thing, even two years ago, the reason why I found this small village is because there are other reasons." Although my old pig is not a good person, he is not so narrow-minded. Since I have punished this tribe back then, I have no intention of cutting down the grass and eradicating it. The reason why I did all this was just the boredom of waiting. Now that you've finally appeared, I'm naturally not going to trouble them anymore in the future. Also, don't ask me why I knew you were here, or why I found you. These are things that you will know later, but not now. ”
"And what the hell are you looking for me?" Zhan Yibai's face was uncertain, his life experience had already annoyed him, no matter how he looked at it now, he felt that he was involved in a conspiracy, but he didn't know anything, which made him happy.
"It's very simple, someone asked me to bring you something and some words." Zhu Gangguan put down his wine glass and smiled meaningfully.
Zhan Yibai was silent, waiting for the following.
"Take it off!" Zhu Gangguan said a word.
Immediately, I saw that the armor on his body that was full of golden light and purple qi automatically detached, and then automatically folded and suspended in the air.
"This crown is called the phoenix wings purple gold crown, this armor is called gold chain mail, this boot is called lotus silk cloud walking, and this ......" Zhu Gangguan was wearing a single shirt, pointing to the armor hanging in the air, introducing them one by one, and finally his right hand was stretched into his ear, and the next moment he pulled out an embroidery needle with a cold light flashing, "This stick is called Dinghaishen Needle, also known as Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick." ”
"Don't bully me for being uneducated, this is just a small embroidery needle, how can it be called a good?" Zhan Yibai looked at the embroidery needle that was no longer than his fingers, and couldn't help but say the words that the rat demon often hung on his lips.
"Lonely and unheard." Zhu Gangguan pursed his lips disdainfully, and without saying much, he reached out and flicked the embroidery needle to Zhan Yibai.
As soon as Zhan Yibai's palm stretched out, he wanted to catch it, but as soon as the embroidery needle entered the palm of his hand, a terrifying force came, which made him unsuspecting and suddenly fall into a, and even smashed the table and chairs in front of him.
Zhan Yibai, who was lying on the ground, looked at the embroidery needle that rolled off his palm and fell to the ground in surprise, and looked up in horror at Zhu Gangguan.
"I don't have to measure myself, the Dinghaishen needle is 13,500 catties, even if it is my old pig, it is difficult to pick it up, you are just a little demon in the Xuan Realm, if you want to pick it up, I am afraid that you will have to use the strength to eat milk." Zhu Gangguan made no secret of his ridicule.
"One, thirteen thousand five hundred catties!" Zhan Yibai's whole body trembled, such a weight, if it was smashed on his body, even if he estimated that he would not be able to bear it.
With such a weight, but just an embroidery needle, what's the use of coming?
"The reason why Dinghaishen Needle is also called Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick is that it can be large and small, and it can be transformed into a needle, and it is not surprising that it is big even if it pierces the sky. It's a pity that this thing has already recognized its owner, unless it is the monkey's head, but it is difficult for anyone to drive it at will. Zhu Gangguan seemed to think of someone, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"I can understand the armor you gave me. But what's the use of this Dinghaishen needle for me? Zhan Yibai was puzzled.
"You think too much, these things are not for you, it should be said, they are temporarily kept by you. Of course, before the object is returned to its original owner, you can use the armor, and as for the Dinghaishen Needle, I advise you to collect it. As for why it was given to you...... The reason is actually very simple, the Dinghaishen Needle can guide you to find his master, and you are the key to saving the monkey's head. Zhu Gangguan didn't hide it anymore.
"Monkey head?" Seeing Zhu Gangguan mention this word several times, Zhan Yibai was not curious.
It seems that this armor and the Dinghai God Needle should be the so-called monkey's head.
It's just that what he doesn't understand is, why save it himself? And why should he save it?
"I'm not related to that monkey, why did I save him? What's in it for me? Zhan Yibai is not stupid, this matter is really weird, he doesn't want to become someone else's tool for no reason.
"The reason is simple, because that monkey can solve the unsolved mystery of your origins." Zhu Gangguan's relaxed answer dispelled all of Zhan Yibai's concerns.
"This ...... It's not enough. Out of bargaining, Zhan Yibai still said cheekily.
"Then add this." Zhu Gangguan seemed to have known that this would be the case, and in his backhand, a snow-white long sword appeared out of thin air in the broken temple, which was the long sword that Zhan Yibai had turned into before.
Before, the long sword flew out automatically to find out the location of the pig demon, but who knows, it was captured by Zhu Gangguan.
"This was originally my stuff." Zhan Yibai gritted his teeth.
"You also said it was the original, but now it's in my hands." Zhu Gang said with a smile, seeing Zhan Yibai's angry face, he still didn't let go, and had to sigh, "That old man really didn't say anything wrong, it's really not easy to get cheap." ”
"This sword is in your hands, it is really a tyrannical thing. This bamboo slip records the imperial envoy method, so I'll send it to you together. After Zhu Gangguan finished speaking, he took the sword and bamboo slips and sent them to Zhan Yibai's hands.
"Take it when you see it. My old pig has completed his mission, what should be said has been said, what should be given has been given, and now that I am finally free, I will have time to find the moon heart fairy. After Zhu Gangguan finished speaking, he didn't give Zhan Yibai a chance to speak, and left the broken temple when he turned around.
Along with Zhu Gangguan's disappearance, there is also a broken temple.
But in the blink of an eye, Zhan Yibai found that the ruined temple was gone, and he still had the two sleeping boys and girls who were in a wilderness.
"Zhu Gangguan, you must at least tell me how to find that monkey head, right?" Zhan Yibai remembered something and hurriedly shouted into the wilderness around him.
It's a pity that the surroundings are empty and no one responds.
