Chapter 3 Once upon a time there was a monkey who loved to watch the sunset
The flowers fall into the mud, and the branches intersect, like a net, holding the sunset that is slowly falling.
Mrs. Li sat on the top of the cliff, looking at the blue sky, clear and clear, the sea was choppy, and the sunset was shining, and she couldn't help but feel something, and said:
"The remnant sun is obliquely shining in the water, half the sea is secluded and half the sea is red, I want to ride the wind to build the avenue and sweep the clouds in the sky of the fairy palace. ”
"What are you doing to sweep the clouds, cultivating the avenue, just to go to the Heavenly Palace to be a petty official who sweeps the clouds?"
A crisp voice came from behind Li Taiwei, and Li Taiwei turned her head slightly, a girl in purple, with bright eyes and bright teeth, looking forward to it.
"I'm not sweeping clouds, I'm sweeping haze, haze in my heart. ”
There seemed to be a flash of light in Mrs. Li's eyes, it was a kind of ambition, a kind of ambition.
"Oh, anyway, I don't understand, if you like to sweep the clouds, you can sweep the clouds, and if you love to sweep the haze, you can sweep the haze. ”
The girl in purple was listless, only staring at the clouds in the sky and said slowly.
Li Taiwei looked at the girl's face and asked seriously:
"My name is Li Taiwei, what's your name?"
The girl didn't turn her head, just looked at the sunset.
"I don't have a name. ”
"Why don't you have a name?" Li Taiwei found interesting.
"Why do I have a name?" the girl in purple looked at him with a slight sideways look, her eyes full of doubts, she was asking seriously.
"Everyone has a name, just like a peach blossom is called a peach blossom, a pear blossom is called a pear blossom, and a morning glory is called a morning glory. ”
"But I called Pear Blossom, and Pear Blossom didn't know which one I shouted. ”
Li Taiwei was stunned for a moment, so she had to smile bitterly and said:
"So we need a name, for example, this pear blossom is called Xiao Yi, this one is called Xiao Er, this one is called Xiao San, and so on, each pear flower has its own name, and when you call it, it will know that you are calling it. Anyway, how should I call you?"
"Little squirrel. The girl in purple returned to her idleness again.
"Huh?" Mrs. Li was a little dazed.
"I said my name was Little Squirrel. ”
"Why is it called a little squirrel?"
"Because the monkeys call me a little squirrel. ”
"Who is the monkey?"
"A monkey is a monkey, and he used to sit where you are sitting now?"
Mrs. Li had doubts written on her face, so she asked:
"What are the monkeys doing here?"
"Look at the sunset. ”
"And where did he go?"
I don't know, he said that he wanted to learn the immortal method and live forever, and then he sat on a bamboo raft, tied up melons and fruits, and floated to the place where the sunset set. The girl in purple pointed to the distance and replied.
Mrs. Li looked in the direction of her finger, and the sun was about to set.
The purple-clothed girl remained motionless and asked:
"Mrs. Li?"
"Huh?" Mrs. Li looked at her suspiciously.
"Look at the sunset, like a miserly miser, hiding the last of his gold. ”
Mrs. Li was silent, he watched the last rays of the sunset being swallowed by the sea, and did not answer her seemingly childish question.
When the sun went down that day, the little girl was gone, and she didn't know where she came from, and she didn't know where she went.
Li Taiwei returned to the Water Curtain Cave, some of the hangover monkeys were still staggering, and some had already gone to the mountains and waters, climbed trees, and played, but the captured monkeys had not been rescued, so they were just playing worriedly.
The next day, the seriously injured Lao Ba woke up, and Lao Bang took Li Taiwei to meet him, who was also a gibbon.
Lao Ba was not lightly injured, but sighed again and again, and said:
"If only the king were still here. ”
When Li Taiwei heard this, she was quite surprised and asked:
"You still have a king?"
Lao Bang took over and said:
"We originally had a Monkey King, but we just went to sea to seek immortals and Taoism to seek immortality. ”
Mrs. Li thought of the purple-clothed girl called "Little Squirrel", and the girl also said that a monkey who liked to watch the sunset went to the place where the sunset went to seek immortality, and it seemed that the monkey was their monkey king.
I didn't think that when the old man heard it, he said angrily:
"What are you, end of ignorance. Is it only allowed for wolves to have a wolf king, and not for monkeys to have a monkey king?"
It turned out to be a grumpy gibbon.
Lao Bang immediately stopped Lao Ba, saying how Li Taiwei was powerful and how to help each other in times of trouble, Lao Ba immediately changed his irritability, slapped himself, and said with tears in his eyes:
"I deserve to die, old ba, torture the benefactor, and ask the benefactor for forgiveness, just ask the benefactor to have mercy, and then save our poor monkeys. ”
Mrs. Li waved her hand slightly and said:
"It's okay, it's okay, it's me who is abrupt, I have a preconceived idea that Lao Bang is your monkey king. ”
Lao Bang hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"How can I be the monkey king, I am not afraid of Brother Li laughing when I say it, three hundred years ago, I proposed to jump over this water curtain without hurting the body, I waited for him to be the king, I never thought that a stone monkey stood out, jumped over the water curtain first, and found this cave, since then he is our monkey king. ”
The two gibbons didn't notice that when he said the words stone monkey three hundred years ago, Mrs. Li's expression changed greatly.
I only heard Mrs. Li ask eagerly:
"Your monkey king was born three hundred years ago when the stone tire on the top of Huaguo Mountain exploded?"
"Huh, how do you know?" the two gibbons looked at each other and said in unison.
Mrs. Li didn't answer, but kept muttering:
"Is it really providential? The stone monkey who saved me is the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave! In this way, this favor must be helped. ”
Mrs. Li made up her mind slightly, so she said to Lao Ba:
"Don't worry, I've done you a favor, but although this wolf demon is as strong as me, I'm afraid there are other helpers, so I can only outwit it, not the enemy. ”
So Li Taiwei settled in the Water Curtain Cave, and they prepared a spacious stone house for Li Taiwei alone.
Another day passed, and two Akajiri horse monkeys came down with the support of another group of monkeys, apparently wounded as well.
Li Taiwei and the four monkeys came to a secret room in the Water Curtain Cave, and after some greetings, they began to talk about business.
It turns out that these two Akajiri horse monkeys are the old horses and old streams in the mouth of the old collapse.
Lao Ma Lao Liu, you and I will explain the matter clearly, it turned out that they carried the thousand-year-old fruit they had picked to the White Tiger Cave for help, and the tiger demon heard about this not only did not have the slightest intention of reinforcement, but fell into the well.
If it weren't for the old horse's cleverness and discovery of the tiger demon's sinister intentions in advance, I'm afraid it would have become a ration for the tiger now, but it's a pity that the monkeys are not willing to eat the strange fruit.
Now that it is only five days before the wolf demon entertains the demon king, and his own combat power is only Lao Bang and himself, it seems that it is time to think carefully.
Li Taiwei conspired with the four monkeys all night, so and so, and so on, and finally formulated the final strategy.
The next day, the sun could not penetrate the water curtain, but it illuminated the water curtain hole.
The gibbon monkey Lao Bang summoned a group of monkeys, only to see the trees hanging between the mountains outside the water curtain cave, squatting under the trees, densely packed with monkeys. The gibbon monkey waved his arm and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the wolf demon is cruel and unkind, arresting my companions, and threatening to eat our monkey brains raw, which is unbearable, everyone bring good weapons, raise their spirits, tomorrow, we will send troops to the wolf demon to rescue our companions. ”
The monkeys, who usually chirp, were surprisingly unanimous this time, and exclaimed:
"Send troops to the wolf demon and rescue your companions!"
Suddenly, the sound shook the mountains, the birds flew and the deer were frightened, and the wind and rain were coming.
