After the white bone spirit understood the seriousness of the situation, he didn't say anything about going with Chen Li anymore.

Chen Lizhu Bajie and the others, with two stupid little monsters, went straight to the Jinluan Palace.

There were eunuchs outside the palace, and they went in to make a report, and soon the king announced their entry.

"Elder Monkey, can the Golden Light Pagoda be swept up?" The king asked, smiling.

Chen Li shook his head, "Your Majesty, I didn't go to sweep the tower. ”

"Oh? Didn't sweep the tower? So why are you here? The king narrowed his eyes, but there was no displeasure on his face, but a hint of anticipation waiting for the rest of the day.

Seeing his expression, Chen Li became more and more sure of the conjecture in his heart, and immediately smiled: "Your Majesty, I heard that six days ago, the relics of your country's national treasure were stolen, can there be such a thing?" ”

"Well, that's true." The king nodded, and then said casually: "If I am not mistaken, it must be the monks of Jinguang Temple who are guarding and stealing themselves, but they haven't been interrogated for a while, why did Elder Monkey ask about this?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, I just caught two monsters of unknown origin when I was sweeping the tower, and seeing their sneaky appearance, I guessed that the theft of this national treasure might have something to do with them."

"Oh?" When the king heard this, he pretended to be surprised, but the smugness in the depths of his eyes was unfortunately taken into Chen Li's eyes.

"Elder Monkey, did you bring the two monsters you you mentioned?"

Chen Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the person has already brought, just waiting outside the hall." ”

"Okay, let's announce them in!" The king said loudly.

When the eunuch beside him heard this, he immediately raised his sharp voice and shouted, "Bring the monster into the temple." ”

When the words landed, the soldiers outside the door walked in with the two second-cargo fish demons.

"Get on your knees!"

After being escorted into the palace, the soldiers shouted, and the two guys who were already thieves with weak hearts, where did they still have that mighty and unyielding noble temperament, their knees weakened, and they fell to the ground with a poof.

"Your Highness, the second demon, report your name."

The king waved his hand and said to the two fish demons.

When the black fish monster heard this, his body shuddered and said, "Your Majesty, the little one is called Ben Bo Erba." ”

"The little one is called Ba Bo Er Ben."

The catfish monster also hurriedly read out his name.

"Rush to the ground, to the bottom of the road?"

When the king heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and then asked, "Listen to Elder Monkey, you may have something to do with the theft of the national treasure of my sacrificial country, do you recognize it?" ”

"This ......" The two brothers and sisters glanced at each other, then shook their heads and said, "Your Majesty, we didn't do it, we don't know anything, we don't know anything!" ”

"Don't know anything? Didn't do anything? The king frowned, and then said in a cold voice, "Since you didn't do anything, then why did you sneak up in the Golden Light Pagoda of my sacrificial country?" You two little demons, at first glance, are ill-intentioned people, quickly recruit what you have done, otherwise, you will be punished! ”

"Great, big punishment?" When the two monsters heard this, they were so frightened that their legs and stomachs trembled.

When the king saw that they were grinding and chirping, and did not speak, he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, and his face was furious, and he shouted: "Come on, first give me a scolding of eighty boards, and see if they recruit or not!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, two soldiers walked in outside the door, one of them holding a wooden plank in his hand, and he was about to do it.

Seeing this, the two monsters were so frightened that their faces turned blue, and they were not some great demons, where could they stand the eighty boards, seeing the fierce expressions of the two soldiers, they no longer dared to hide it, bowed their heads to the ground, and cried and cried: "Your Majesty, we recruit, we recruit!" ”

"That's pretty much it." With a smile on his face, the king waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to withdraw, before saying, "Well, tell me everything you know." ”

"Okay, okay, I say, I say."

The black fish monster was the first to speak, and said, "Your Majesty, the treasure on the Golden Light Pagoda was actually stolen by the son-in-law of the king of my family. ”

"Well, go ahead." The king nodded.

On the side, Chen Li and Zhu Bajie stood together, and they didn't speak, just looked at the king's face from time to time.

The black fish monster continued: "The king of my family is the dragon king of the blue wave pool of the rocky mountain eight hundred miles outside the city, and his son-in-law is the nine-headed insect horse master, and His Majesty's national treasure was stolen by my family's horse master. ”

"Oh, I see."

When the king heard this, he looked like he had suddenly realized, and nodded.

Then he looked at Chen Li and Zhu Bajie and the others, and said with a smile: "I heard that the two envoys of the Tang Dynasty are both immortal characters with good skills, I wonder if the two of them can help me snatch the national treasure back?" If you help, I will be very grateful! ”

"Is that so?" Chen Li looked at the king, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer, and said: "Your Majesty, just based on their words, they pushed the matter of stealing the treasure on the head of his family's concubine, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?" ”

"This ......" When the king heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and said: "Elder Monkey, you also said that these two monsters are sneakily hiding in the Golden Light Tower, they are definitely not good people, and they also admit that they are the treasures stolen by their own king, so they should not be wrong, right?" ”

Chen Li shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't think so, first, the Jinguang Pagoda has always been guarded by the monks of the Jinguang Temple, it stands to reason that they have the best chance of stealing national treasures, so they should be the most suspicious. You're right? ”

Chen Li looked at the king with a smile.

The king couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said with a rather embarrassed face: "Elder Monkey, the monks of Jinguang Temple, I have already tortured them, and the treasure is indeed not on them, so it is the masters of these two monsters who are the most suspicious." ”

"Really?" When Chen Li heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

I went around and around for a long time, but I waited for the king to say this.

"Your Majesty, since the monks of Jinguang Temple are no longer suspicious, why haven't you seen them released yet?"

Chen Li pretended to look at the king in confusion, and on the side, Zhu Bajie secretly gave him a thumbs up.

When the king heard this, a sad look suddenly appeared on his face, but soon, he smiled dryly: "This is not just to clear their suspicion, and I haven't had time to let them go." ”

After speaking, the king said to the eunuch beside him: "You, go to the prison quickly and spread a message, saying that the theft of the national treasure has been revealed and has nothing to do with the monks of Jinguang Temple, and let them all go." ”

"Whoa!"

The old eunuch answered, bowed his waist and withdrew from the hall.

After watching the eunuch leave, the king looked at Chen Li with a smile again, and said, "Elder Monkey, you see, this suspect has been identified, can you help me go and snatch the national treasure?" ”
