Chapter 261: Complex Relationships (Plus Update)
In early spring, the cold of winter has not completely receded, but the rainy season in Huaguo Mountain has arrived, and it is wet everywhere.
At sunset, the lumber yard on the edge of the mountain road in the northwest of Huaguo Mountain was piled up with wooden stakes, and dozens of muscle-filled power-type monsters who had been tired all day were gathering together to enjoy the dinner that had just been delivered, gobbling them up one by one.
Most of them are monsters who have just joined Huaguo Mountain.
Nowadays, there are many new yokai, and except for a few cases, only new yokai will engage in this kind of pure body lĂŹ work. With their cultivation, they can be sent to do this kind of heavy work, and if they stay long enough, they should have no problem finding an errand in the army.
Of course, the premise is that they pass the cultural class. This is arguably the biggest difference between the new yokai and the old yokai.
If you want to find a cultural class among the newly added monsters, it is difficult to find a monster who can read and write. I have to sigh that the monkey was able to meet Lu Liugui in the vast demon sea, which is really a kind of fate.
The monsters of this world never lack strength, what they lack is brains. It is precisely because of this that Huaguoshan grasps cultural classes far more strictly than practice.
At this moment, you can see some youkai holding bowls and holding chopsticks to the book and scratching back and forth on the ground. Because they all know that if they want to get a better job, they have to pass the most basic cultural classes.
I don't want to be right with poetry, I just want to be able to listen, speak, read and write.
Is there a youkai who is content with the status quo and thinks it's good to have a bowl of hot rice?
The answer is no.
Because logging is not the lowest job in Huaguo Mountain, on the contrary, it is a relatively good grassroots work that can be provided to the newcomers. There is a lot of strength out of it. The food obtained is also relatively sufficient. It's all hot meals.
In such a position. If they don't pass a long cultural class, they are likely to be replaced by newcomers. As mentioned earlier, the youkai are not short of strength, and there are many youkai waiting to replace them.
When the time comes, they will have to be sent to the dungeon to dig tunnels.
It's not as comfortable there as here, and if you can't see the sun, you can't talk about it, and there is a danger of collapse at any time. Even the food was hard to swallow - it wasn't that Huaguoshan couldn't afford to eat. It's not that Huaguoshan can't provide a comfortable environment, but that there is a gap to be motivated.
The half-crouching elephant spirit ate the large pot of rice while flipped through the pamphlet that was placed in front of him like a book in the sky with his nose, and occasionally rolled up the wooden stick that was placed aside with his nose and scratched back and forth on the ground.
At the beginning, a group of five youkai came here together, and now he is the only one who is still logging.
Needless to say, the white pigeon spirit knew some words herself, and she was sent directly to the academy, with excellent grades and rapid progress, and was soon assigned to the scout corps as a herald.
That treatment...... It's enviable to think about.
The others followed him for months to cut down the wood. They were all transferred to the army. Since they have been trained enough on the way here, they are much stronger than ordinary youkai. In the army, they were also entrusted with good positions.
On the contrary, it is his own boss, and the number of words he recognizes so far does not seem to exceed two hundred, so naturally he can only continue to stay here.
Ay......
blamed himself for being too ignorant at the beginning, thinking that if his strength was strong enough, he would definitely be able to be reused in Huaguo Mountain. Who knows, this Huaguoshan is actually the same person who is in charge of the work assignment and the person who presides over the teaching of the school, and the means taken against a monster like him who despises cultural classes is to resolutely crack down.
Even if he finally asked the white pigeon spirit to find the black boss (sunspot) of their scout legion, it was useless to ask for someone.
On the pretext of doing things according to the rules, the squirrel spirit that eats the ancient squirrel spirit just detains him, the elephant essence of the God Refining Realm, is here to cut wood, and he doesn't give any face.
But fortunately, the squirrel spirit has not thrown itself into the dungeon to dig a tunnel, which is already a blessing in misfortune.
Ay......
It would be nice to be able to put on a suit of armor and charge into battle.
Not to mention the powerful configuration of the squad leader, even if it is an ordinary soldier. That's what I'm supposed to do.
The elephant spirit looked up at the sunset, silently imagining what it would be like to wear that armor one day.
"Wait, how can it be Xiaobai in my mind?" the elephant blinked his eyes violently twice, then opened his eyes and looked at them fixedly, and exclaimed, "No!
I saw that the white pigeon spirit was flying in his direction from the west, and he kept turning back from time to time.
The white dove fell to his side in a panic, and explained to him and the monsters around him: "Quick, get out of the way." â
The elephant spirit held the big basin and chopsticks in his hand and stood up: "What's wrong?"
"Don't ask, anyway, listen to me!" said the white pigeon, flapping its wings and continuing to fly east.
Dozens of five big and three thick monsters hurriedly flashed behind the piles of tree stumps one by one, but they also stretched out their heads one by one to look.
Soon, I saw three or five more demon soldiers of the Scout Legion passing overhead.
"What is this all about?"
One by one, they looked at each other, and they didn't know why.
After a long time, I saw a figure appear at the end of the mountain road.
He wore a gorgeous gold-rimmed white robe, long flowing hair, and shook a folding fan that I don't know from the hand of a calligrapher in the mortal world.
It's not chic!
At this moment, even the elephant spirit could clearly see that there were a large number of demon soldiers hiding behind him, but the man in white turned a blind eye as if he was on an outing.
"Didn't he know that he had arrived at the monster's den?" the elephant spirit's brow furrowed slightly.
......
When he first set foot on this land, Ao Lie, who had already reached the early stage of the Transformation God Realm, clearly felt that there were pairs of eyes around him quietly watching him behind the green leaves, and even with his own footsteps, an encirclement had quietly formed.
Looking at the fleet suspended in the sky, he knew that this was a place where nerves were stretched to the extreme. If an ordinary outsider is careless, he makes a mistake. You may be in a different place at any time.
But. He's no ordinary outsider.
Step by step, walk leisurely in the direction of the demon city. Passing by the mine excavated by the monsters, passing by the lumber yard in Huaguo Mountain, and walking straight to a place about twenty miles away from the demon city, a group of demon soldiers stood in front of him, led by the rat spirit sunspot, and the three gods of the god realm who were called to help, including Dajiao.
"Whoever is coming, report it quickly!" Kuroko shouted at Ao Lie with a long knife.
Ao Lie was slightly stunned and looked left and right.
Right under his nose. A beetle demon who obviously did not belong to Huaguo Mountain quietly walked up to a sergeant who surrounded him and asked, "This big brother, I have come to seek refuge in the Monkey King, and I don't know where to go." â
The sergeant turned his face sideways and pointed behind him and said, "Go straight in this direction, and you will see the settlement." â
"Thank you big brother, thank you big brother. The beetle demon arched his hand, and quickly ran around the group of demon soldiers in the direction the sergeant pointed.
Ao Lie's brows suddenly frowned: "Hey, why did you stop me?"
"Because you don't look like you're here to take refuge. Kuroko said expressionlessly.
Ao Lie looked down at himself who was gorgeously dressed, and then at the beetle demon in the distance who was running wildly towards the settlement with a ragged face and a haggard face, and nodded silently: "That's right." â
Kuroko snorted coldly and said, "It's good to know! Also, what are you doing in Huaguo Mountain?"
"I'm looking for someone. â
"Looking for whom?"
"This. Who are you looking for...... There are several to find. Ao Lie touched his chin and pondered.
Uncle said that Sister Tingxin is also in Huaguo Mountain, so do you say that you are looking for Sister Tingxin? I'm afraid not. Sister Tingxin's identity here is a bit special. Wouldn't it be bad if you said that these miscellaneous little demons didn't know?
It's better to find Sister Yang Chan, right?
Has Sister Yang Chan's identity been made public here?
Eh, the third sister didn't elaborate on this question, I forgot to ask.
Looking at Kuroko's fierce and vicious appearance, Ao Lie suddenly felt very unhappy.
He said word by word: "I'm looking for it, Monkey King Sun Wukong!"
"Are you looking for the king of my family?" this sentence came out, and all the monsters suddenly looked at each other.
Heizi froze, stared at Ao Lie and asked cautiously, "You said you were looking for the king of my family, so who are you?"
"Cut. Ao Lie stretched out his hand and stroked his long hair, raised his head arrogantly and said, "You should ask, who am I the king of your family?" â
This statement made the monsters even more confused.
Kuroko blinked, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Then, who are you the king of my family?"
"Do you really dare to ask?" Ao Lie glared at Kuroko with disdain and sighed: "Okay, since you have asked everything, if I don't answer, it will seem like I am lying." Listen!"
Shaking the folding fan in his hand, he said loudly: "I am the brother-in-law of your king's brother-in-law!"
After that, the corners of the mouth were upturned.
After a moment of silence, the youkai who surrounded him burst into laughter.
"What brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you playing tongue twisters?"
Suddenly, Ao Lie's face turned red, and he rolled up his folding fan and pointed at the sunspot and shouted: "What are you laughing at? If you don't believe it, go and ask your king, and tell him that Ao Lie is here, see if he sees it or not!"
Heizi looked at Ao Lie with a mocking expression and said, "If you have to ask my king about sesame mung beans, then wouldn't my king be busy?"
A bat demon standing next to Kuroko quietly grabbed Kuroko and whispered in his ear: "It's better to ask, if something happens...... It's not going to end well. â
Saying this, Heizi was immediately slightly stunned, thought about it, and finally took out the jade slip and put it to his lips.
......
The monkey who was checking the new firearms in the dungeon paused slightly, stroked the big cylinder in his hand with one hand, and took out the jade slip with the other and put it to his lips.
"What's the matter?"
"Brother Monkey, that ...... There's something I'd like to ask. Do you have a ...... Brother-in-law's brother-in-law?"
"Brother-in-law...... Brother-in-law?" the monkey's brows furrowed slightly, and he said playfully, "Kuroko, what are you talking about?"
"Well, in other words, do you have a wife, Brother Monkey?"
The monkey remembered the finch and replied casually, "Yes." â
"Wait, Brother Monkey, do you have a wife? Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Kuroko suddenly found that he had asked a shocking secret, and exclaimed.
"Do you want to die?" the monkey shouted.
"No, no, Brother Monkey, I want to ask, does your wife have an older brother? Or does your wife's brother's daughter-in-law have a younger brother?"
The monkey froze slightly.
Does the finch have a brother? I don't think I've heard it say.
Her brother has a daughter-in-law? That sounds more complicated.
Also, what's going on with the younger brother of the daughter-in-law of the finch brother?
Thinking about it, the monkey's face darkened, and he scolded: "You are a new jade slip and think it's fun, right? What kind of bullshit does this? The next time you come to ask something like this, I will directly confiscate your jade slip!"
After that, he immediately put away the jade slip.
......
"What's going on?"
A large group of monsters all stared wide-eyed at the sunspot who silently put away the jade slip. They could only hear what Kuroko said, but they couldn't hear anything about the monkey's answer.
As for Ao Lie, who was standing opposite, he couldn't help but rejoice.
From the conversation just now, he could be sure that Kuroko had just learned about the fact that the Monkey King had a wife.
Hey, it's good that I didn't say Sister Yang Chan, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing.
It turns out that Sister Yang Chan is also hidden in Huaguo Mountain, otherwise how could these little demons not know that the Monkey King is married?
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but admire his wit, and raised his head high to accept Kuroko's flattery.
At this moment, under the attention of all the monsters, Hei Ziqiang pulled out the long knife that had just been inserted back into the scabbard with a bang, pointed at Ao Lie and roared: "Damn, you bastard, you hurt Lao Tzu to be scolded by Brother Monkey, right? You are dead! Brothers, give it to me!"
"Wait, what are you going to do? Don't touch me, I'm your king's brother-in-law...... Don't slap your face!Help!" (To be continued......)
