"What are you asking all this for?"

"Can't you ask?"

"I don't want to answer. ”

"But I'm curious. ”

"That's your business. The monkey bowed his head slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Jian said softly: "What if I promise you to let them stay at the mouth of the Guanjiang River?"

Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly raised his head.

Seeing this, Yang Jian couldn't help laughing, it was a kind of ridicule.

"What are you laughing at?" asked the monkey dumbfounded.

"It's useless to laugh at you. ”

"I ...... Why am I so out of luck?"

Taking a deep breath, Yang Jian continued, "Before I came, I thought you should be a monster that could interest me. At the very least, you shouldn't keep your mouth shut, you just want to stay at the mouth of the Guanjiang River. Is this place good? Why don't I think so. ”

As he spoke, Yang Jian glanced around and sighed, "Before I came, this was just a barren land. I built it single-handedly, and no one knows it better than I do. Here, it is much worse than the heavenly court and the demon capital. ”

"But you don't know how many people like it. ”

"That's their business. Yang Jian leaned back in his chair, looked up at the dark ceiling and said, "I built the mouth of the river for only one purpose. That was to rescue my mother, who was crushed under the peach mountain, and my mother had not yet been rescued, so Guan Jiangkou was not good enough, at least in my eyes. ”

The monkey looked at Yang Jian quietly.

Yang Jian laughed softly, and then said: "How is it, after listening to the builder's heart, are you a little disappointed?"

The monkey did not speak.

Yang Jian continued: "I understand your feelings. You want a safe haven, don't you? Actually, there's no difference between humans and youkai. You saw my Guan Jiangkou and thought it was pretty good, so you liked it. However, the creator is not what you think, and I never built this place to be a safe haven for anyone. This is my bargaining chip to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Court. The entire Three Realms are rumored to be at odds with the Jade Emperor, and yes, that's true. I'm not afraid of people knowing. The reason why the Lion Camel King was not destroyed was because I had always known that my enemy was in the Heavenly Court, not in the Demon Capital. ”

The monkey's eyes widened slightly, as if he was shocked by Yang Jian's arrogance.

Seeing this, Yang Jian continued: "A long time ago, when I was down, I also hoped that an immortal would suddenly appear. With a wave of his hand, he changed the world, and I rescued my mother. ”

However, this immortal did not appear. Men will dishonor themselves, and others will reproach them. I like that. ”

"Without this immortal, I would be this immortal myself, wouldn't it be over? Unfortunately, most people don't think so. They will only expect handouts from others. It's no wonder that pinning your hopes on someone else is embarrassing. To be honest, for this kind of person, I, Yang Jian, look down on it. ”

After that, Yang Jian fixed his eyes and looked at the monkey with a smile.

"What do you want to say?" asked the monkey.

"I want to say, why don't you build one of your own, if you like to irrigate the estuary, do you have to wait for someone to give alms?"

"Build your own ......"

Yang Jian nodded silently.

"Can you do it?" said the monkey to himself.

"Of course it can be done. Yang Jian got up, stood with his hands in his hands and said: "A long, long time ago, when I was a child, I felt that things in this world were too difficult and difficult, just to survive, it was difficult. But then I found that slowly, everything became easier, as long as I had the strength. There are talents from generation to generation, and a new generation buries the old. It's like the Lion Camel King, I used to think he was amazing. Now, he's not dead, it's just that I'm letting him live. Nothing is impossible. Including rescuing my mother from Momoyama. ”

The monkey looked at Yang Jian blankly.

"Heavenly Court is very powerful, but one day, I will be stronger than him, and when the time comes, won't the Jade Emperor obediently kneel down and kowtow to me and admit my mistakes?" As he spoke, Yang Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was joking.

This arrogance makes monkeys crazy.

"What you want, it's simpler. If you have a goal, just work hard, just believe in yourself, and don't pin your hopes on those wine bags and rice bags. If you reach it, it's the best, if you can't...... Hehehehehe, then die. A sad life cannot be changed, and what is the point of living. It's a pity that after reincarnation, it's a repetition of the past of the previous life. But on the other hand, life after life, it means you have countless opportunities. What if there is a lifetime that becomes? The price is not as heavy as you think. ”

The monkey blinked blankly and looked at Yang Jian, and after a while, he laughed slowly.

"You think I'm not right?"

"You're right. But ......" the monkey turned his face sideways, looked at the lute lock on his shoulder, and said, "Don't you think there is no point in saying such things to a person who has been locked in a lute lute?"

Yang Jian couldn't help but smile when he said this, and said: "Adversity is only temporary, and there will be opportunities." It's just that when you have the opportunity, I hope you can remember what you want. Okay, I've said what I want to say, and I already know what I want to know. ”

"You already know?" the monkey looked confused.

Yang Jian stretched out his finger and pointed to his temple, and said, "Didn't I just tell you not to count on others?" I'll go first, hopefully, we can have a chance to work together. ”

"Cooperation?"

"Yes. Yang Jian nodded and said, "Think about what I just said." As long as you remember that what I Yang Jian wants is to rescue my mother from Taoshan, then we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

As he spoke, Yang Jian reached out and patted the monkey's shoulder gently, turned around and walked out of the door step by step, disappearing from the monkey's field of vision.

Until Yang Jian left, the monkey was still at a loss.

Soon, two soldiers walked in, set up the monkey, and sent it back to its original cell.

A short time later, another soldier came to the monkey's prison, put the Guiyuan stick on the ground, and turned away.

Bracing his knees, the monkey slowly stood up, walked over step by step, bent down and held the Guiyuan stick in his hand, and then slid down against the rough wall, looking at the window, silent.

The moonlight shone obliquely in, leaving a square outline in the middle of the prison. There was a cold feeling in the dark prison, and even the monkey's face was half immersed in darkness.

In the midnight prison, all that was left was the intermittent moaning and snoring, and beyond that, the wind whirring outside the window. From time to time, there was the footsteps of the jailers walking back and forth.

In the whole world, it seems that he is the only one who is still awake.

"Why should he...... Come to me in prison and talk to me?"

The monkey couldn't figure it out.

There are many, many things that I don't understand.

For example, why did Yang Jian imprison them all, and why did he return the Guiyuan stick to him after being imprisoned?

Returning the weapon is actually a great kindness, but on the one hand, it releases the kindness, and on the other hand, it puts everyone in prison.

For example, the people of the demon capital, why should they kill their own masters. For example, where did Genba go......

As soon as he closed his eyes, almost all the things he could think of were question marks, and none of them were really clear. The whole world in front of him is like a puddle of troubled water.

If you think about it this way, Yang Jian's life is comfortable. Not only because of his strength, but also because of his extremely simple thinking...... It's a simple goal, and then everything revolves around that goal, and the rest is thinking on top of power, on your own, and not counting on anyone else...... Believe in yourself.

Although it was crazy, the monkey knew that what he said was right. However, can I still have such a chance?

He didn't know, just as he didn't even know what Yang Jian was going to do with him now.

Time ticked by.

Early the next morning, the jailer brought the food. Yes, it's really a meal, it's hot, and the monkeys can't believe their eyes.

It was probably the best meal he'd ever had in prison.

Before he could move the chopsticks, he had already heard a cry from next door, the sound of fat intestines.

"It's so good to eat...... It must be a decapitated meal. I've heard that a good meal will be given before the execution, and they must have planned to kill us in a moment. In addition to crying, there were also some mixed sounds. Probably because I was crying and eating at the same time.

"I've had to be executed several times, so why haven't I eaten any severed heads?" muttered the monkey, rolling his eyes.

A whole day passed, and nothing happened except for the regular delivery of meals.

For the next three days, the monkeys lived in such a monotonous manner, and the meals delivered were all very good. Even better than the food given when I was in the camp.

On the fourth day, Yang Xian came to the monkey's prison.

"Get up, you can go out. ”

"Where to go?"

"You'll know when you go. ”

As he spoke, the two soldiers lifted the monkey up and lifted him out of the cell.

Soon, the monkey was sent to the battleship with all the demon soldiers. Amid the shouts of the soldiers of the Guanjiangkou Army, the battleship set sail.
