Outside the Tushi Palace, a large number of warships have rushed to surround the entire Tusi Palace, and those suspended heavenly soldiers and generals finally do not need to continue to hang in mid-air, and can go to the warship to rest for a while.

A Heavenly General slowly crossed the crowd and came to the side of Jiaomu Jiao, who was standing on the bow deck with the Heavenly Court generals, and said in a low voice: "Qiyu Xingjun, I have searched everywhere, but I haven't found it. ”

Hearing this, Jiaomu Jiao's face suddenly changed slightly.

The Heavenly King on the side asked softly, "Xingjun, is something wrong?"

The corners of Jiaomu Jiao's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." ”

As he spoke, he took the general's arm and pulled him out of the crowd and walked in the direction of the cabin.

Looking at Jiaomu Jiao's hurried back, the Heavenly King of Zhiguo slowly looked at the Duowen Heavenly King on the side.

With this pair of eyes, the Duowen Heavenly King immediately glanced at the other twenty-eight celestial generals around him. The Heavenly King nodded knowingly.

The two of them turned and paced casually, and walked to the side of the boat, far away from the crowd.

The Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom said in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"The Timber Wolf is lost. ”

"Huh?"

"Whereabouts unknown. The Heavenly King of Duowen slowly leaned over to the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom, and while looking around casually with his eyes, he lowered his voice and said: "Jiaomu Jiao just sent people around to look for it, and I heard that he had been practicing in retreat for more than ten days, but when he opened the door, he found that he had long since disappeared. ”

"Heavenly Court is such a big place, where can you run?"

"Heavenly Court is not big, and when you go out of the South Heavenly Gate, the sky is high and the earth is wide. Just now I sent someone to Nantianmen to check the entry and exit registration, and there is the name of Kui Wood Wolf. Thirteen days ago, they went down to earth, and they still took their official tokens of the twenty-eight constellations. As he spoke, the King of Heaven reached out and patted the King of Heaven on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't say it, if they don't say it, let's pretend that nothing happened." See what they do with it. ”

With that, the Heavenly King turned around and walked towards the heavenly generals who were gathered in a heap.

Looking at the horned wooden Jiao who was still in a hurry not far away, the Heavenly King stroked his chin and sighed leisurely: "I didn't expect it, this Kui wood wolf is much more persistent than the canopy of the day." Jiaomu Jiao is annoyed now. ”

......

At this time, the courtyard is a warm scene.

The sun shone obliquely on the floor in front of the monkey, and the light and shadow slowly shifted eastward.

Qingxin's position had been moved from outside the gate to the courtyard, but he did not step directly into the hall, but looked in from time to time through a threshold.

The finch did not speak, but quietly made tea, cup after cup, and as soon as the monkey's cup was a little less watery, she immediately filled it again.

That action, with that makeup, and that temperament, is like a plum blossom quietly blooming in the corner, which can be called peerless.

However, the monkey didn't even have the slightest appreciation.

He turned his face slightly to look at the empty courtyard, silent and silent, and suddenly his heart felt empty.

The person in front of her has exactly the same memory and personality as the bird, but she is not her. If the finch were still alive, would it have grown like this after so many years?

What if it's a wind chime?

The myriad images in his mind were so mixed together that the monkey couldn't sort out the slightest thought from them.

For a long time, he could only smile helplessly.

For him, the finch and the wind chime are a scar that can never be healed, a fault that can never be repaired. If it weren't for seeing this "finch", he wouldn't dare to think about it anymore.

This must also be a kind of suffering, right? One of the eight sufferings.

Out of one's wits......

The canopy is still "unbegging", and he has already "can't put it down".

Can Xuanzang overcome this kind of suffering?

As for Taishang Laojun, he couldn't hate it for a long time. If Taishang Laojun is the murderer who killed the wind chimes, then what is he?

Even the hatred for Rulai, thinking about it at this time, is actually just a simple obsession.

In the midst of his chaotic thoughts, the monkey's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the bright light and shadow in the courtyard.

There is a feeling of being out of this world.

......

In the secret room, Taishang Laojun silently sensed every move in the hall, and his brows slowly frowned, as if he was wondering about something. After a while, it slowly stretched out again.

He smiled faintly, and this smile had a rare, relaxed meaning.

Lowering his head, he continued to use a cinnabar pen to draw a complicated circle on the ground.

......

In the blink of an eye, a whole pot of water ran out, and Que Er opened her mouth to call one of the Taoist boys outside the door in and asked him to go and fetch another pot. The boy nodded respectfully, held the kettle in both hands, and walked out.

"What is your status here?" the monkey asked suddenly.

"Principal. The finch replied softly.

"Principal?"

"The head of the Tushi Palace, this is the position responsible for the arrangement of the upper and lower applications of the Tushi Palace. Originally, there was no such position, but the master insisted that His Majesty give one to him, incidentally, and also entered the immortal book, and gave him a token to enter and exit the South Heavenly Gate freely. However, after so many years, I have never stepped out of Nantianmen. ”

The monkey nodded slightly, and sighed with a smile: "Taishang Laojun, that old horseman, is really good to you." ”

"The master is a good man. ”

"He's a good guy?"

"He's a good guy, not a count. ”

The monkey slowly closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and shook his body like a dozing old man under the mortal tree, and sighed leisurely: "It's the first time someone has told me that Taishang Laojun is a good person, it's really strange." ”

"The master has always been a good person. The finch lowered her gaze slowly tilted to the place where the monkey was, but the moment she touched the monkey, she slowly retracted it and said softly: "The master is good to everyone, no, to be precise, he is good to all things in heaven and earth." ”

"Hey, what's a good method, you can tell me about it. ”

The monkey still closed his eyes, and outside the door, he listened quietly.

At this time, the boy had already walked into the house with a pot full of water, put it on the charcoal stove, and quietly retreated.

The finch looked at the charcoal stove and said softly: "There is a saying in the mortal world, it is better to give it a fish, than to give it a fish." It is also true to govern the Three Realms. If you can't change the fundamentals, then the best way is to let it go. Otherwise, going against the sky will only lead to greater suffering, and in the end, it will be too late to regret it. ”

"As he said, it seems that you are really his good apprentice. ”

"So I said, the master is good to everyone, but he is a little more doting on me and Qingxin. When the word "pure heart" was spoken, the finch lowered her tone slightly.

The monkey was slightly stunned, and his gaze swept out the door.

Qingxin immediately turned his face away and pretended to be casual.

"Aren't you and Qingxin my little junior sister in the three-star cave of the slanting moon? Why, she often runs to the Tushi Palace?"

Qi'er said softly: "She is your junior sister and my junior sister. ”

"What do you mean......" Before the words fell, the monkey had already realized and laughed: "I see, I said that none of our senior brothers have a character like her, it turns out that there are two masters." No wonder this is flying and domineering, I don't know how thick the sky is. ”

The Qingxin outside the door listened, and his face turned red when he brushed the ground. However, he only gritted his teeth and did not have a seizure.

With that word, the finches were quietly watching the monkey's reaction. However, the monkey didn't seem to take what she said to a deep seat.

Turning around, the monkey asked the finch, "When will you come back, can you give me an approximate time?" ”

......

"Let him wait a little longer, and it will be soon. ”

In the secret room, Lao Jun held two pens in his mouth, and two more in his hands and danced rapidly.

The complicated circle on the ground has gradually taken shape, and it is about to enter the closing stage.

......

At this time, Xiniu Hezhou, the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom.

Flags of white elephant totems fluttered in the wind, and the guards on the castle tower blew their horns.

Birds that landed on the glazed tiles took to the sky.

Layers of palace groups, towering armor in the huge square in the palace array, civil and military officials lined up in the court.

Looking at the delicate sculptures at the corners of the house, looking at the thick armor on the forbidden army's body, and the bright blades in his hands, the little white dragon was amazed.

He had always thought that in the mortal world, only the emperor of the eastern land had such majesty, but he didn't expect that in Xiniuhe Prefecture, thousands of miles away from his home, such a country would emerge at some point.

When he first stepped into the capital, he was a little stunned, but he didn't expect to be even more shocked behind.

What's even more strange is that the black bear spirit accidentally appeared as a prototype, originally Xuanzang thought that his group would be expelled soon, but unexpectedly, the king of this country sent an invitation the next day, inviting Xuanzang and his party to enter the palace to see.

"Xuan-Master Xuanzang goes to the palace!"

"Xuan-Master Xuanzang goes to the palace!"

"Xuan-Master Xuanzang goes to the palace!"

A shout came from the depths of the palace, and the court attendant standing on the side bowed slightly and said, "Master Xuanzang, please." ”

Xuanzang, who was wearing a robe and a crown of ten thousand Buddhas, held the Buddha beads in his hand and slowly took a step. At the same time, the guards behind him had already placed the halberd in front of the accompanying black bear spirit, canopy, and little white dragon.

The chief of the guard bowed down and arched his hand and said: "You still have to wait here, Your Majesty only announced Master Xuanzang, then, only Master Xuanzang can go to the hall and meet Your Majesty." ”

"We are here to protect Master Xuanzang. Xiao Bailong blurted out, pointed at the guard and asked, "What if you want to be unfavorable to Master Xuanzang?"

"This ......," the captain of the guard slowly looked at Xuanzang.

The palace attendants who came to lead the way on the side also looked at Xuanzang.

After a little hesitation, Xuanzang said in a low voice: "You guys just wait here for a while, the poor monk has seen His Majesty Xià and will come back." ”

Xuanzang spoke, and the others had to agree.

The palace guards led Xuanzang slowly down the long aisle, and all around, the heavily armed guards watched silently.

Along the way, Xuanzang's brows gradually frowned.

After all, in the palace of Chang'an, Xuanzang also went in.

Although this country is not small, it is indeed prosperous enough, but it is really worse than Chang'an, even in terms of the size of this palace. But at this moment, it seems that the guards of this palace are much stricter than those of the Tang Palace.

And that's not all.

Judging from the appearance of the guards, and from the wear and tear of the armor, these troops practiced very frequently, and it was obvious that they were in a state of high readiness. However, before coming to this palace, Xuanzang already knew that this treasure elephant country did not have a neighbor enough to threaten its survival. Whose war is this prepared?

Lifting the front swing of the robe, Xuanzang lowered his head and slowly climbed the high stone steps, walked into the hall step by step, and saw the civil and military officials on both sides, and also saw the king of the Baoxiang Kingdom sitting on the throne.

The king wore a fox velvet crown on his head, a white robe inlaid with gold, a waist-length beard, and a burly figure, although he was over fifty years old, but still very strong.

However, at this time, he looked deeply sunken and his face was a little haggard.

All the way to the middle of the main hall, Xuanzang lifted the front swing, knelt on his knees respectfully, folded his hands, bowed and said: "Poor monk Xuanzang, see Your Majesty." May His Majesty be blessed. ”

The entire hall was silent.

The king of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom sat on a high throne and looked down at Xuanzang, brushing his long beard.

After being silent for a long time, he said softly: "This king heard that you came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and want to go to the Western Heaven to learn scriptures, but is there such a thing?"

Xuanzang replied respectfully: "Qi Zuo, this is indeed the case. ”

The king of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom nodded, and then asked, "I heard that there are still a few goblins with you around?"

"This ......" Xuanzang hesitated slightly, and said loudly: "Qi Xiyi, there are indeed a few friends who accompany you, after all, this road is difficult." ”

"Oh, so you know how to slay demons?"

"Poor monk, I don't understand. ”

"I don't understand, how can those goblins follow you willingly?"

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and said, "The poor monk has already said that those few are friends of the poor monk." ”

Saying this, the king of the Baoxiang Kingdom, who was sitting on the throne, was the first to laugh, and suddenly, the civil and military ministers in the entire hall also laughed, turning into a burst of laughter.

Xuanzang knelt quietly and did not say a word.

After a while, when the laughter gradually subsided, the king of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom said leisurely: "This demon and a human can still be friends? Flatten. ”

Xuanzang got up slowly and said softly: "The poor monk did not deceive His Majesty, saying that he was a friend, he was a friend. ”

"Okay, this king doesn't care what your relationship is. The king of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom waved his hand and said, "This king will ask you again, do you know how to subdue demons?"

Xuanzang shook his head slowly: "The poor monk doesn't understand. ”

"So, what ...... 'friends' of yours?

Xuanzang said softly: "I should know something." ”

"That's it. The king of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom nodded heavily, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and said, "This king has entrusted you with a matter to send a demon for this king." If it is done, this king will make you a national teacher, and you will be rewarded as much as you want for gold and silver treasures. You can also choose a piece of land in this royal capital and build a temple with an incomparable radius of thousands of miles. The matter of learning scriptures from the west is a long way, and this king can also send an army to fetch it for you. You, in my country, just wait and read the scriptures. ”R1152
