When the sun set, the group finally returned to the three-star cave of the oblique moon.

The two brothers began to busily cook, while the monkey sat in the kitchen and waited silently, chatting without saying a word in between.

"What are you looking for by Wanshou Daxian?"

"He asked me a casual question. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Ask me something about the demon capital, that's just the situation. In the demon capital, you can ask anything. It's kind of small talk. ”

"Nothing else?"

"Hmm...... He gave me a wrench, saying it was a greeting gift. To be precise, he gave me three things to choose from, a piece of jade, a string of Buddhist beads, and a wrench. I chose the wrench. ”

The monkey reached out and took out his wrench and handed it to Shaoying, who was busy chopping vegetables.

Grabbed it and looked at it twice, Shaoying handed it back again.

"Why did you suddenly give you a wrench?"

"I don't know, it's a greeting gift. The monkey spread his hands.

"Show me. The fire scales that were boiling the soup covered the pot and walked over, took the wrench and looked at it twice.

"It's a very ordinary wrench. Shaoying on the side interjected.

"Ordinary? I would say that it is because it is ordinary that it is the least ordinary. While carefully examining the wrench by the light of the fire, the fire scales said casually: "Who is he? If Wanshou Daxian doesn't make a move, if he makes a move, can it be ordinary? In my opinion, there must be something special about this wrench. ”

"So, what do you see?" Shaoying wiped her hands with a rag and walked over.

The two brothers, plus the monkey, sat at the kitchen table and looked carefully at the wrench by the candlelight.

Time passed bit by bit.

All three frowned and their eyes widened.

A voice suddenly came, breaking the silence .......

The three of them hurriedly looked to the side.

"Uh...... The soup is boiling. I'll take a look. Firescale handed the wrench back to the monkey and walked away.

"I haven't finished cutting my dish yet, so I'll cut it for a while and then study it. Shaoying also walked away.

At the edge of the table, the monkey was left alone.

Turning around, he continued to look closely, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find anything special.

Pick with your fingernails, it's hard, but you can feel that it's not particularly hard, and it's just the hardness of ordinary metal. It may be iron, but it seems to be a little different from iron.

I washed it with water and found nothing.

Burn with fire?

Looking at the candle flame on the side, and then at the stove where the fire scales were tossing, thinking about it, the monkey felt that it was better to forget it.

In case this wrench is really an ordinary wrench, I will be broken like this, and it will be difficult to explain it when I turn back.

Soon, Shaoying divided the meals one by one. In addition to the ones that were placed on the dining table, two separate portions were also served.

"I'll send it to the master first. Picking up one of them, Firescale walked out of the kitchen.

After a while, the little Taoist also walked in.

When the monkey first came to Wanshou Mountain, the little Taoist disciple who was only seven or eight years old has now grown into a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. Dressed in a simple robe, with a green face, he glanced at the monkey when he walked into the kitchen, and deliberately bowed slightly, but did not speak. Picking up another meal, he walked out.

"Won't he eat with us?" asked the monkey casually.

"Eat with us. ”

"Then what is he going to do?"

"There's another person, you forgot?"

After thinking about it, the monkey remembered that there should be a mad Taoist priest in this Taoist temple. Since he is crazy, it must not be easy to let him sit down and have a meal in peace, right?

But why didn't the master cure him? The monkey really couldn't figure it out.

Sitting silently at the dinner table, the monkey and Shaoying waited together. Fire scales should be quick to deliver food to the master. However, the little Taoist feeds the mad Taoist, and I am afraid that it will not be soon.

Thinking about it, the monkey suddenly asked, "By the way, Qingfeng or Condensing Realm?"

"Hmm. ”

"Won't the master give him a boost?"

"He's not qualified. ”

"Isn't it okay to feed the pill?"

"It's hard to remedy it even if you feed the pill. ”

"Hey, you can always improve a little bit, right? This is almost an adult, and you are still concentrating on the Divine Realm, if you continue like this, I am afraid that you will cultivate for a lifetime, and you may not be able to refine the Divine Realm when you are old, so it is difficult to achieve the true life here...... Sweeping?"

"I don't know. Shaoying pursed her lips and said, "This kind of thing, the master has his own decision." ”

"I believe that the master can make a decision, but the master has his own decision......" Scratching his face, the monkey sighed lightly: "I'm afraid that the master is too busy and his attention is not on him, so I forget him." Ordinary mortals, that is, forty or fifty years old, he is almost half. ”

......

"Where have you been today?"

"I went fishing in the morning, picked wild vegetables in the afternoon, and then went to Wuzhuang Temple. ”

"Oh. ”

"It's also strange to say, today, Wanshou Daxian somehow summoned Senior Brother Wukong. ”

"Huh?"

But he didn't say anything, just gave him a wrench. said that he was given three things to choose from, a piece of jade, a string of Buddhist beads, and a wrench. The younger brother chose the wrench. ”

"Well, got it. Su Bodhi nodded and said, "You are busy, and then study and study for the teacher, maybe there can be another way." ”

Placing the meal on the table beside him, Fire Scale stood behind Subodhi, looking cautiously at his master.

Subodhi was engrossed in staring at the leaves soaked in the spring water. From beginning to end, he didn't even look back.

After hesitating for a while, Huo Liang said softly: "Master, the disciple has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"Speak. ”

"It's been some time since Xuanye got it back. Master, you've almost tried all kinds of methods, right? Instead of just trying like this, why don't you think of a way to start directly with the Macaque King? Didn't Wukong also say that the Macaque King has a clue now. I'm not sure yet, but it's better than trying like a headless fly here, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Su Bodhi smiled and sighed, "You know, what is the teacher trying?"

"Huh?" Firescale couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Do you think that the teacher is trying to wake up Xuanye?" Shaking his head, Su Bodhi said softly, "What's so difficult to wake up? It's just to find the Macaque King and try to force him to tell him how to wake up." As long as the Macaque King is still in these three realms, it is not difficult. ”

"That'...... Master. Fire Scale hesitated and said, "If this is not difficult, what do you mean ......when you say difficult?"

Su Bodhi sighed and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. It's good to think of a way for the teacher himself. ”

"Hmm. ”

"After eating, you call your junior brother over. ”

"Yes, master. ”

Bowing slightly, the fire scales withdrew from the door.

......

After eating, Fire Scale whispered to the monkey, "The master asked you to come over." ”

"Oh. ”

......

Pushing open the door of the basement, the monkey slowly walked in, bowed and said, "Disciple, meet the master." ”

"Sit. Su Bodhi casually pointed to the futon not far away, and his gaze was still on Xuanye, and he never left it for a moment.

The monkey hesitated slightly, walked to the edge of the futon, and sat down.

Su Bodhi stroked his long beard and said, "As a teacher, there is something you need to do, it may be a little difficult to do. ”

The monkey took a deep breath and said, "If the master has something, just give the order." The disciples should do their best. ”

"Hmm. Su Bodhi nodded and said, "Steal something, in the Moyu Imperial City." ”

Hearing this, the monkey's expression couldn't help but stiffen.
