12. XII

The monkey followed Taishang Laojun along the way, bypassing several palaces and crossing several lakes.

But no matter how strange the scenery around them, the monkey did not linger.

They finally stopped at the Thirty-Third Heaven, and Taishang Laojun stopped, glanced back at the monkey, and pushed the door open.

A boy in Tsing Yi was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, napping with his eyes closed.

"Maruko...... Get up and prepare bath water for the teacher! Taishang Laojun stretched out his hand and pushed the ball, and said.

"Demon~Elf! You lied to my grandson, this doll is not my daughter-in-law! The monkey jumped in front of Taishang Laojun and lifted Taishang Laojun's clothes.

"Whoever lied to you, I'll take you later, I want to take a bath, I want to change my clothes, the Nether has been making trouble for so long, just going to the Cloud Treasure Palace, it will damage the image of the master. You...... I won't understand! Taishang Laojun glanced at the monkey with great contempt, and raised his chin arrogantly.

"You don't understand, my grandson understands a lot, the white monkey is right, the demon ~ the elf is a lot of things!" The monkey let go of his hand, hugged his arm, and squinted at Taishang Laojun leaving.

In other words, I'm going to see my daughter-in-law, isn't the image of my grandson too casual?

The monkey pursed his lips in confusion.

"Are you...... The monkey?! After preparing the bath water, Maruko held a round face and looked at the monkey with admiration.

"Which monkey...... Call me the king, don't you hear, monkey monkey, little brat, my grandson will think you are rude. The monkey said.

"Yes, my lord." Maruko slowly rubbed against the monkey, stretched out his little paws, reached the corners of the monkey's clothes, and said, "Are you the king who made trouble in the East China Sea and robbed the Dinghai God Needle?" ”

"No, I didn't rob it, it was it that followed my grandson." The monkey touched his chin, remembered something, and nodded as he spoke.

"Ahhh Maruko said as she grabbed the corner of the monkey's clothes, her eyes full of fascination.

"You...... You little brat, your hand is put away for my grandson, isn't it just a weapon? The monkey slapped Maruko's hand away, but suddenly thought of something, and slowly squatted down, leveling his gaze with Maruko.

The monkey pointed to himself and said, "Little boy, do you think my grandson looks like this?" ”

"What's going on?" Maruko tilted her head, puzzled.

"It's like my grandson, whether he is handsome enough or not attractive!" The monkey asked seriously.

"Handsome !!" Maruko replied without hesitation

The monkey patted the ball on the head, very satisfied.

"Then the king......" Maruko pointed at the middle finger, looked at the monkey and said, "Can I take a look at your Dinghai Divine Needle?" ”

"Can't!" After Taishang Laojun finished bathing, he changed into a green coat again, came out from behind the alchemy furnace, and decisively refused.

"Master, father......" The ball is aggrieved, the monkey scratched his head, thinking that it is nothing, why is this demon ~ spirit reacting so much.

"If you can't, you can't, you're obedient, Master, you're going out." Taishang Laojun walked out while tying his belt.

He glared back at the monkey and said, "Do you still want to see your daughter-in-law?!" ”

"Yes!" The monkey immediately rode the clouds.

He paused, turned back to Maruko, and said a word.

The monkey said, "What, little boy, if you know my grandson's daughter-in-law, can you help me say good things?" ”

"Huh?"

"Well, the little kid agreed happily, my grandson likes it!" The monkey finished and left.

The monkey followed Taishang Laojun to the Cloud Treasure Palace, and through the layers of clouds and mist, the monkey heard his own heartbeat, one after another, and the deer collided.

When they came to the front of the hall, the clouds dispersed, revealing a cadre of heavenly soldiers and generals on the main hall.

"Daughter-in-law !!" When the monkey saw Nezha's lotus-style little skirt, he immediately dropped Taishang Laojun and jumped over.

Nezha had a black line, but he could only stare into the distance expressionlessly, telling himself to be calm at this time, and not to quarrel with this dead-faced monkey.

"Daughter-in-law, my grandson knew that you wanted me, so he specially sent someone to find me, my grandson is here, don't pretend." The monkey stood beside Nezha and stretched out his arm to touch Nezha.

"Monkey King." The voice of the Jade Emperor resounded in the hall, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he called.

"Who?" The monkey asked, hearing no one and not seeing anyone.

"You look up." The Jade Emperor said.

"Oh?" The monkey looked up and looked at the throne placed on the gimbal in the distance, and there was a man sitting on the throne with one hand supporting his chin on Erlang's leg.

It was a little far away, and the monkey couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"Why are you sitting so high, it's not because you're too long, I'm sorry, don't worry, my grandson doesn't mind, you can come down." Said the monkey.

The corners of the Jade Emperor's lips were instantly ironed by the monkey's words, he pinched his wrist, suppressed his anger, and said: "I am the Jade Emperor Tianzun, and I recruited you to Heaven as an official. ”

"For the official...... No, it's boring, my grandson won't do it. The monkey waved his sleeve and immediately refused.

"Monkey ......" Taishang Laojun moved to the monkey's side. said: "If you don't become an official in the heavenly realm, you have to go to the lower realm, and you can't see Nezha every day, can you think clearly?" ”

"What?" The monkey tilted his head, looked at Nezha's face, and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you in the lower realm with my grandson?" ”

"I repeat, I am the third prince of Nezha, not your daughter-in-law." Nezha pinched the Qiankun circle tightly, and really wanted to smash the monkey's head with one hand.

"Oh, my daughter-in-law and my grandson know, the white monkey said, this trick is called lust and indulgence!" The monkey patted his chest and said, "It's okay, my grandson will stay with you in the sky." ”

"Sun Wukong, have you thought clearly?" The Jade Emperor looked at Taishang Laojun and raised his eyebrows with him, and asked.

"My grandson has thought it through, and my grandson reluctantly agrees to you."

"Oh?" The corners of the Jade Emperor's lips curled again, with a little mystery.

It's hard to be, heh, interesting.

"Then what kind of official does the Jade Emperor want to seal this monkey?" Taishang Laojun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, waved the dust and said.

"I thought about it, but it wasn't for sure." The Jade Emperor's voice stopped, he curled his lips and took a sip of the wine on the jade table, and said, "Now, when I see him, I am sure." ”

"What does the Jade Emperor think?" Taishang Laojun secretly felt that the Jade Emperor's tone was no longer good.

"Bi Ma Wen, seal the marquis immediately, this is a good idea." The Jade Emperor swallowed the wine in his mouth, looked at the empty wine glass, and said.

"Bi Ma Wen......!" Taishang Laojun's heart shook violently, and he looked at the Jade Emperor in disbelief.

"Why, Taishang Laojun thinks it's inappropriate and thinks I'm not comfortable employing people?" The Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was like ice.

"Nope." Taishang Laojun bowed his head and said no more.

The monkey didn't pay attention to what the two said, nor did he care where he went, he pulled Nezha's chaotic Tianya and rolled it in his hand.

"You let go !!" Nezha found that he couldn't walk, and turned around to find that the monkey was innocently pulling the chaotic Aya on his wrist.

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" The monkey asked.

"You let go of Chaotian Aya for me, I'm going to find my second brother!" Nezha said.

"Oh, this?" The monkey pointed to the chaotic Aya on his wrist and said, "It turns out that it's called Chaotian Aya, I thought it was the red line of the old moon that the white monkey said, so I wanted to tie us together." ”

"The red line is the line, is this thickness the same?!" Nezha shook his head with the monkey on his back and said, "So, dear Lord Bimawen, can you let go?" ”

"Let go, let go. My grandson will go to Yue Lao to ask for a red thread later! The monkey immediately let go of Chaotian Aya, jumped to Nezha's side, and said, "Second brother, daughter-in-law, has your second brother married a wife?" ”

"You...... My second brother is not like you, his head is all messy, my second brother is a big hero! ”

"Big Hero...... Sounds unlucky. ”

"What?!" Nezha was stunned when he heard this, and stopped.

"The white monkey said that heroes can't marry a daughter-in-law, and if they marry a daughter-in-law, the hero won't live long." Said the monkey.

"I'm ......!"

"Lord Bimawen!" Before Nezha's words were finished, a fairy official in rough clothes came, holding a rough booklet and said.

"Call you." Nezha poked the monkey.

"Huh?" The monkey turned his head and frowned.

"Let's go see the horses first." Xianguan said.

"No, my grandson wants to see his daughter-in-law first!" The monkey said.

"You go first, maybe I'll look for you later." Nezha looked at the monkey's radiant appearance, remembering his skills when he fought with him that day, and somehow felt a slight pity in his heart, and said something.

"Okay, my daughter-in-law has spoken, my grandson will leave first, daughter-in-law, you must come!" The monkey had never heard Nezha speak to himself in such a tone, so he flipped over a heel on the spot, and followed the fairy official with Huan.

In the Cloud Treasure Palace, the Jade Emperor watched the immortals disperse, looked at the jade case, and stretched out his index finger to point at the jade case.

His eyes were deep, and he beckoned the immortal officials beside him.

"How are you doing when you come over there?" The Jade Emperor asked.

"The little one just inquired about the news, after the golden cicada was demoted, Rulai has not preached for nearly half a month."

"Oh......" The Jade Emperor hooked the corners of his lips, and his fingers slowly moved to his lips.

"Well, there is no movement at the moment." The immortal officer returned.

"What do you think of that monkey?" The Jade Emperor changed the subject.

"It's hard to say if it's small."

"It's hard to say...... Interesting. ”

"What do you think?" Dense beads of sweat oozed from the immortal official's forehead.

"It's a bit silly, not to be afraid." The Jade Emperor smiled and said.

The immortal official nodded.

"But if you get the hang of it...... Anyway, keep an eye on it. The Jade Emperor raised his head and took a sip of wine.
