21. XXXI
The blood-colored flowers on the locust tree in the courtyard were plucked, and it lay in the hands of Taishang Laojun, glowing with a strange purple light.
"Great Sage?!" The pill had already packed up the alchemy furnace and saw the monkey.
"Yes." The monkey nodded with a smile, and his steps were not hurried or slow, as if he was walking leisurely in Huaguo Mountain.
"Maruko, throw this monkey into the alchemy furnace for me!" Taishang Laojun frowned and ordered.
"Ah......?" The little boy in Tsing Yi was a little puzzled, but he couldn't help his master's forced gaze and lifted the monkey up.
"Great Sage, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, the alchemy furnace can't help my grandson, you don't have to worry about it, little baby." The monkey smiled and enjoyed it with his legs crossed.
Maruko looked at the Wangwang three-flavor true fire burning under the alchemy furnace, and there was a trace of worry in his round eyes.
He struggled to send the monkey into the alchemy furnace, and with a click, the lid closed tightly.
Maruko glanced at his master and flicked his left hand.
"Maruko!" Taishang Laojun held the purple bamboo fan in both hands, walked in, and said to the ball: "Don't move your mind that shouldn't be moved, this monkey was not saved by you." ”
"Yes, Master, the pills are just itchy hands." Maruko smiled sweetly at Taishang Laojun, and grabbed his hair with his left hand around the back of his head.
"Let's get out." Taishang Laojun sighed and pushed the balls out of the door and closed the door.
He placed the blood-colored flowers placed on the fan into the three-flavor true fire under the alchemy furnace, and when the flowers touched the flames, they immediately withered and burned out, and the entire alchemy furnace was shrouded in a light purple light.
"You've got me covered." Taishang Laojun said to the little boy who was sitting on both sides of the alchemy furnace and was in charge of fanning.
"Yes." The children answered in unison.
Maruko, who was sitting on the doorstep, saw his master come out and immediately greeted him, he tilted his head and looked at his master.
"Master, Father...... The Great Sage ......"
"Guard, no one is allowed to open it, Master will sleep first, and then call your Master to get up in 7749 days." After Taishang Laojun finished speaking, he went around to the courtyard and opened a side room, and lay down to sleep.
"Yes." Maruko quietly retreated.
At this time, Nezha was carried into the Zhenjun Temple by his own master, and he was distracted by the second brother and the roaring dog.
She was thinking about the monkey, if he was okay, if he would be okay.
Yang Jian stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of Nezha.
was knocked down by Nezha with a snap.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Nezha asked angrily.
"Third brother, don't worry, that monkey will be fine." Yang Jian said.
"I'm not worried about him." Nezha propped his head with one hand and replied.
"Done." Yang Jian curled his lips and said, "Today's incident is a bit strange, who is pretending to be me?" ”
"Probably yes." Nezha nodded.
"However, third brother, the Jade Emperor has never appeared."
"Indeed." Nezha was restless.
"What's wrong with Chang'e." Yang Jian continued to analyze.
"So Erlang Zhenjun, I've listened to you for so long, this is not right, that is not right, is there no more?" Taiyi Zhenren stood up and said, "Nezha, follow me back to Qianyuan Mountain." ”
"Master?" Nezha was still talking, but he saw that Taiyi had already taken Nezha out of his bindings.
"Master, what are you doing?!"
"Take you to the Nether!"
"Don't!"
"Don't forget the tower in your father's hand!" Taiyi Zhenren frowned.
Hearing the words of his father, Nezha's heart surged with great sadness, like a school of fish returning to the tide, drowning himself until he could no longer breathe.
She has a mother who loves her, a master who dotes on her, a second brother who fights side by side, and a monkey who keeps calling her daughter-in-law.
She is the third prince of Nezha, who is praised by everyone in the heavenly court, and in the eyes of her father, she is just a combat tool that may go against the sky at any time.
Nezha fell silent and didn't speak.
"Master will bring you back in a few days." Taiyi Zhenren understood the pain in Nezha's heart, and his tone was soft.
"Yes."
On the path leading to the ninth heavenly prison, a person with a face covered was walking slowly.
A divine soldier hurried towards him, whispering in his ears.
"What?!" The man raised his eyebrows, let out a loud startled sound, and hurriedly drove the clouds.
In fact, it was not only this person who was surprised, but the entire Heavenly Court.
In seven seven and forty-nine days, the monkey who should have turned into an elixir rushed out of the alchemy furnace with a wishful golden hoop stick, swept over the palace of Taishang Laojun, and went all the way down from the thirty-three heavens, invincible.
100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded the monkeys, the war drums thundered, the monkeys also smiled lightly, carrying the Ruyi golden hoop stick to sweep away thousands of troops, he said that he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, no one could help him.
There really is no one who can take him.
He stood in the clouds, his slender posture, laughing and looking at the divine soldiers around him who were cowering and did not dare to step forward, and said with his arms in his arms: "Enjoyable, enjoyable, come again!" ”
No one dared to come, and the people above the heavenly court looked at the monkey, fearing him and envying him.
"If you don't come, my grandson will leave." The monkey laughed loudly, and carried the Ruyi golden hoop stick straight to the clouds, leaving only a touch of battlefield red in the hearts of the immortals, and then disappeared.
At that time, Nezha had just returned to heaven and stepped on the hot wheels to walk lonely among the clouds.
When the monkey stood on the clouds with a golden rod in his hand, wearing gold armor, and a pair of red pupils, Nezha almost thought that he had seen it wrong.
The monkey's face was stained with blood, the tips of his golden hair were backlit, his slender fingers and nails were white, and the corner of his fiery red cloak was swept back and forth by the wind.
The corners of his lips are hooked, and he still looks like he is not afraid of heaven and earth.
"Daughter-in-law, my grandson came to see you safe and sound!" The monkey looked down and saw Nezha, and said.
Nezha felt that there was a boulder in his heart to put down.
On the cloud platform, the Jade Emperor who had just returned to the throne, had clear beads of sweat on his broad forehead.
He stretched out his hand and smashed the wine bottle on the case, and said to the divine soldier beside him, "Please come!" ”
Between heaven and earth, there seems to be a golden crack, and the glow of the sun is rendered along the crack, slowly opening a huge picture scroll.
The monkey opened his eyes to the light, and saw that the place where the clouds had disappeared was covered with golden light.
And in the center of the place where the golden light was brightest, there was a huge golden lotus platform, and the young man sitting on the lotus platform slowly opened his bright eyes like a feather fan.
The man's face is soft, but there is a kind of ** that makes you surrender to his feet.
"Buddha of the Buddha." Nezha heard his voice tremble.
The voice of the Buddha of "Wukong ......" echoed above the heavenly court like the ringing of the ancient temple bell.
"Who are you?" The monkey raised an eyebrow, and he looked into Rulai's eyes, not half convinced.
He is the only one who can resist Rulai.
"Was it sent by the Jade Emperor to arrest my grandson, I guess I don't have this ability!" The monkey laughed and waved his hands crossed.
"Really?" Rulai laughed, and when he looked at it again, his eyes were already red, like the boiling fire of hell.
"For the first time, someone dared to say to me that you are very bold." Rulai twisted his neck, the softness on his face disappeared, and an aura of evil blood surrounded him.
He pinched his wrist, and blood-colored lotus flowers appeared from behind him.
"How about you compare yourself with me?" Rulai's tone was cold.
"Okay, my grandson is not afraid of you." The monkey smiled and said.
Rulai spread out his palm, stretched out his hand to the monkey, and said, "If you turn out my palm, you will win." ”
"You may be underestimating my grandson!" The monkey shook his head.
"You try."
"Huh." The monkey rolled over and flew into the palm of the dragon's hand.
He stood in the palm of Rulai's hand and smiled at Nezha and said, "Daughter-in-law, when my grandson wins, will you go back to Huaguo Mountain with me?" ”
Nezha didn't speak, she frowned, and she was very uneasy.
The memories that Yang Jian called dreams are becoming more and more obvious and real in his mind.
"Don't, monkey don't!" Nezha screamed, but it was too late.
The monkey had already stopped after turning the somersault and carved a line of words on the middle finger of the Buddha.
"You've lost!" Rulai said coldly.
"Huh?" The monkey wondered.
I saw Rulai spread his hand and showed the evidence to the monkey.
"My grandson has lost......" the monkey's tone was slightly disappointed.
"If you lose, you will be punished." The words sounded, and Nezha tightened the Qiankun circle.
Rulai's hand flipped down against the monkey with a thousand pounds of weight.
Nezha threw out the chaotic silk at Rulai, and grabbed Rulai's wrist to prevent Rulai's palm from pressing down.
She gritted her teeth, her mouth ached, and her forehead was bruised.
"Nezha...... You rebel. Li Jing, the king of Tota, shouted at Nezha and said, "If you help this monkey today, I will lock you in the tower and never let you go!" ”
"My Nezha is a natural backbone, my Nezha is a natural rebel, I am doing my best today to save him!" Nezha didn't think about it.
She just didn't want to, didn't want to see that high-spirited blonde boy being crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain for five hundred years.
The monkey under the palm of his hand smiled at Nezha.
But he did not move, he stood straight, and withdrew the golden rod.
"Daughter-in-law, it's my grandson who lost, a manly man, and if he loses, he should bear the consequences." The monkey looked at Nezha and said, "Daughter-in-law, let go of your Chaotian Aya, don't burden yourself for my grandson." ”
"Monkey!" Nezha felt as if a small insect was crawling down his cheek.
"Daughter-in-law, if you wait for my grandson, my grandson will be very happy." The monkey is still smiling so unafraid.
But Nezha still didn't let go.
Rulai didn't move.
"Nezha......" Taiyi Zhenren's voice passed through the immortals to Nezha's ears.
But except for Nezha, Taiyi, and Rulai, no fourth person knows.
"Master, you ...... Do you want me to let go? Nezha reached out and touched his face, only to find that he was crying.
"Nezha, you should let go. Becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha should have a catastrophe, making a big fuss in the East China Sea, and it is your catastrophe to cut the flesh and return the bones to the mother. And this is his calamity, and if it is for his good, you will let it go. ”
Taiyi's words drained Nezha's last bit of strength and tore off Nezha's tense faith.
As soon as her hand loosened, she smiled and pressed her palm down.
Nezha's legs were paralyzed, kneeling straight on the clouds, looking at the new life in the world.
Taiyi walked over and gently stroked Nezha's back.
"The dog is not good, and the Buddha is also asked to punish him." Li Jing stepped forward with the pagoda and glared at Nezha fiercely.
"No need, the third prince of Nezha is also a man of temperament." The blood in Rulai's eyes faded, and his eyes were pitch black.
"Master." Nezha didn't know why her heart hurt so much, she never thought that she would like the boy who pestered her every day and called her daughter-in-law.
She just felt that in this huge heavenly court, she would never hear anyone say to her again: "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, if you cause trouble, my grandson will cover you." ”
She has always been protective of others, and no one has ever said that to protect her, will protect her.
