The ninefold heavens were filled with clouds and mist.

The patrolling guards lined up in a long line with halberds in hand, and slowly walked slowly through the broken steps under the leadership of a general.

The spring water on the rockery is tinkling, and a few colored koi fish swim back and forth in the pond with floating petals.

In the imperial study room separated by a wall, the Jade Emperor reached out and handed Li Jing a letter with a letter.

Li Jing silently read the folds and letters, folded them again, and bowed down and put his hands back on the dragon case.

"Any opinions?" the Jade Emperor asked softly.

"This ...... The minister respectfully obeys the will of His Majesty. ”

"I'm asking you what you think. The Jade Emperor slowly leaned back in the chair, pressed the fold with one hand, tapped his fingers gently, raised his head and said, "I want the rain to rain in Huaguo Mountain, I am satisfied with him." asked for two peaches, and I satisfied him. This time, he asked for four peaches with a nine-tooth nail rake. Do you think I should satisfy him?"

Li Jing bowed slightly and looked at the Jade Emperor cautiously, without saying a word.

Time passed silently.

After a long time, the Jade Emperor laughed and sighed: "It seems that there is no other way to satisfy him." This demon monkey...... Besides, I don't have the right to give peaches at will, he is a demon monkey, but if he wants a few, Heavenly Court has to give a few...... Hehehehehe. If it goes on like this, I am afraid that the treasury of the heavenly court will also become his treasury, and he will be allowed to take what he wants. ”

Li Jing slowly lowered his head, still silent.

The Jade Emperor frowned, pursed his lips and pondered, and said, "You say, is it possible to lead this pool of troubled water to other places?"

Li Jing arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this calamity is going westward. ”

"And what about before he arrives in the West? I'm going to do my best to cooperate with him?"

"This ...... If not. His Majesty can also consider the Patriarch of Subodhi. Sanqing didn't make a move. The people in the Dao Gate made a move, and they were afraid of involving the heavenly court. In the opinion of the ministers, only Patriarch Subodhi is the most suitable. After all, he is also the master of the demon monkey, even if he can't solve it, he shouldn't be angry. ”

The Jade Emperor glanced at Li Jing lightly and asked softly, "Didn't you already send him a letter last time?"

"You can go again. ”

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor just shook his head helplessly. Laughing helplessly.

The dignified Jade Emperor said that he was in charge of the Three Realms, but in fact, in the eyes of these powerful people, he was not a fart. Don't say that you have ordered to summon you, even if you go in person, you may have to eat behind closed doors, and you have to force your face to laugh, and you can't complain.

This rebuilt Heavenly Court is actually weaker than it was six hundred and fifty years ago.

Heavenly Court 650 years ago. Although the Jade Emperor also submitted to the Sanqing, he did not need to grovel to Zhen Yuanzi and Su Bodhi. There is no need to look at the face of Da Lei Yin Temple. The earth immortals in the mortal world, the Yama in the underworld, and the dragon kings of the four seas are all obeyed by the orders of the Jade Emperor.

And now?

After the rebuilding of the Heavenly Court, Zhen Yuanzi and Su Bodhi both participated, which meant that the original three "bosses" became five at once. Not only that, the Great Thunder Yin Temple in the West is powerful, and Heavenly Court will have to be tempted many times to take a slightly larger move. Although Buddhism rarely intervenes, if it does, it will be difficult for Heavenly Court to move an inch.

As for the monsters in the mortal world, although the heroes are divided, it is not like before the rise of Huaguo Mountain, and it is not possible for the heavenly court to suppress it, and if it is not possible to attack it in a group, it will directly paralyze the control of the entire mortal world.

Although the Dragon King of the Four Seas still submits to the Heavenly Court, he is no longer as obedient as he originally was.

The Yama of the underworld is directly attached to the Great Lei Yin Temple, and half of the orders of the heavenly court are directly ineffective when they reach the underworld.

The Erlang God at the mouth of the river is happy to listen to the holy decree of the heavenly court, and if he is not happy to hear it, he pretends not to see it. In this case, the Jade Emperor did not dare to hold Erlang God accountable, and every New Year's Festival, all kinds of rewards did not dare to be less. In the final analysis, the entire situation of Nanzhan Buzhou has to be maintained by his Erlang God.

Compared to before, if there is really anything better in the Heavenly Court now, I am afraid that there are many external troubles. As soon as there are many external troubles, there will naturally be fewer internal troubles, and the authority of the Jade Emperor will naturally be strengthened invisibly. It's a pity that this kind of goodness can't make up for the decline in Heavenly Court's overall strength.

"Write again...... Okay, there's no way out. Slowly closing his eyes, the Jade Emperor sighed softly: "This matter will be left to you." If necessary, I can also visit Patriarch Subodhi in person. ”

"No. Li Jing arched his hand, hesitated slightly, and asked in a low voice: "The peach and the nine-tooth nail rake ......?"

"Send it to him. After a slight pause, the Jade Emperor instructed again: "However, it's best to drag it out, don't seem that Heavenly Court is really obedient to him." ”

"No!"

......

With the Holy Decree of the Jade Emperor in his hand, Li Jing withdrew from the imperial study step by step, walked through the long corridor with two guards, and came to the small airport exclusive to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

The soldiers of the Southern Heavenly Gate who had been waiting there for a long time saluted one after another, and the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom was also among them.

Before the Heavenly King could speak, Li Jing glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it when we get on the ship." ”

The battleship set sail.

When he sat down in the cabin, Li Jing retreated left and right, leaving only the king of the kingdom alone.

Glancing in the direction of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall through the porthole, Li Jing asked in a low voice, "Where is the demon monkey?"

The Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom said in a low voice: "I have already left Gao Laozhuang, crossed the Yellow Wind Ridge, and will soon arrive at the Liusha River." ”

"I'm about to enter the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou, and it's quite fast. Are there any Buddhists with you?"

"There was still it when I was in Gao Laozhuang, but now it's not clear. The demon monkey's perception is too broad, and the Buddha's shots are all big Buddhas, and we can't investigate it with great fanfare, so ......"

Li Jing nodded, took a deep breath, and turned to sit on the wooden chair beside him.

The Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom followed closely and said in a low voice: "By the way, Heavenly King, the third prince hurriedly went to Kunlun Mountain and just came back. Come to think of it, Taiyi Zhenren should already know about the demon monkey and Xuanzang's westward journey. ”

Li Jing was slightly stunned, glanced at the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom, and smiled: "Got it." This matter, silent. They got it. We just don't know about casual clothes. Look for a chance. Reveal the location of the demon monkey to Nezha. ”

"No. The Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom answered. After a slight hesitation, he asked in a low voice: "Heavenly King, this matter is leaked, I am afraid that there will be some trouble at that time." ”

"There's no way to make trouble. Li Jing slowly closed his eyes and said leisurely: "Buddhism, Taoism, and the Jade Emperor, we are caught in the middle, and we can only pretend to be stupid." It's too fine, and there will be more incidents in the future. At that point, it's not just business. ”

"Obey the teachings of the King of Heaven. ”

In the clouds and mist, the battleship slowly moved towards the South Heavenly Gate.

......

The northwestern boundary of Nanzhan Buzhou.

The north wind whistled with the remnants of snow, and the snow on the branches of the trees fell with a "plop", forming a small snowdrift on the side of the road.

The stretching mountains have long since turned into a white expanse, and any place can step on a pit a few inches deep with one foot.

The little white dragon leading the horse couldn't help but shudder.

Lu Liuzheng on the side smiled teasingly: "You are worse than a horse." ”

"It has the blessing of the Great Sage's spell, do I have it?"

"Can't you bless yourself, then?"

The little white dragon looked up at the monkey walking in front of him, and turned his face sideways to look at Xuanzang who was walking with a staff on the side. He looked back at the canopy that had fallen far behind, and said indignantly, "You don't know how to use spells indiscriminately. Will the Heavenly Tribulation come ahead of schedule? The Great Sage is a person who has passed the Heavenly Tribulation, can he compare with us?"

Lu Liu glanced at him, and quickened his pace towards the monkey.

At this time, five months have passed since the group said goodbye to Gao Taigong's family and left Gao Laozhuang, but the peach sent by Heavenly Court has not yet been delivered, so that Xiao Bailong chatters all day long whenever he is free.

Although he has encountered several waves of monsters and earth immortals in the past five months, in most cases, as long as Lu Liu turns around, the other party will give way in a playful way.

After 650 years, most of the newborn monsters and earth immortals do not recognize monkeys, and their understanding of monkeys is limited to those legends that are both true and false, even if the monkeys stand in front of them, first, they can't recognize them, and second, they may not believe that the Monkey King, who has been missing for hundreds of years, will suddenly appear in front of them. It's more likely that the monkey was mistaken for the macaque king, who was also a monkey demon and used a club weapon.

In contrast, as one of the several major forces of the demon clan, Lu Liugui's name is more practical, unless it is directly related to several major demon kings, including the Bull Demon King and the Nine-headed Insect, otherwise when he sees Lu Liugui, he still has to give some thin noodles.

Catching up with the monkey's footsteps, Lu Liugui arched his hand and said in a low voice: "Great Sage, the old minister may have to leave for a while." ”

"Leave?" asked softly, "where to go?" the monkey walked step by step with the golden hoop stick, "where to go?"

"Gotta go back. The old minister's righteous son sent a message, saying that there was a conflict with the people of the Bull Demon King, and the old minister needed to deal with it. ”

"Does the Bull Demon King know you're with me?"

"The old minister didn't let people say it...... Still, it's possible to know. ”

"You know you're still in conflict with your people?" the monkey snorted and sighed, "Okay, you can go back." When I saw the Bull Demon King, I said I'll let you say hello for me. ”

"This ......"

Turning his face sideways, the monkey added with a grin, "Then, come back and tell me what his face was." ”

Lu Liugui hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The old minister understands. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the monkey suddenly quickened his pace and rushed forward. Everyone behind him couldn't help but be stunned, looked at each other one by one, and also quickened their pace.

After running a distance of fifty feet, the monkey stopped and looked at it from a distance. The others quickly followed.

Standing on the cliff, they could clearly see that ten miles away, there was an ocean. Or rather, a huge river that stretches across an entire continent.

The water in the river was as yellow as sand, but in the midst of the ice and snow, it was still rushing as before, and there was no intention of freezing.

"It's the quicksand river. Canopy, who was standing at the back, whispered.

The monkey slowly glanced back at him.

Along the way, Tianpeng has maintained the appearance of a human being, and has not shown the body of a pig, and it still looks a little resistant to the identity of the demon.

Although he was forced to accept the westward journey under Xuanzang's clever words, he was always at the end and did not talk to other people, especially monkeys.

The only exception is probably only Xuanzang. Compared to the others here, he is probably the only one who is interested in Xuanzang's Pudu Dao and various Buddhist studies.

Taking a deep breath, Tianpeng said softly: "The Liusha River, known as eight hundred miles wide, separates Xiniu Hezhou and Nanzhan Buzhou, there are no boats on the river, and ordinary people, even if they have boats, they can't come and go. ”

"Hey, we're no ordinary people. The little white dragon smiled, turned his head to look at the monkey on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Great Sage, didn't you go on a trip at the beginning?

The monkey looked up and said, "I floated over with a wooden barrel for several days." This river is not 800 miles, and it is all exaggerated, I know this. ”

With that, the monkey turned around and walked down the mountain road step by step.

"Drifting...... Drift over?" The little white dragon glanced back at the endless river, and the corner of his eyes twitched slightly: "This place can float over with a wooden barrel?"

"Let's hurry up. The monkey turned back to the crowd and shouted, "There must be something waiting on the edge of the quicksand river." ”

"Something is waiting?" Tianpeng looked towards Xuanzang.

Xuanzang asked softly: "Can the marshal recognize the previous Heavenly Court's rolling shutter general?"

"Roller blinds, what's wrong with him?"

"He went down to earth. The Great Sage said that he would meet him in the quicksand river and hoped to invite him to travel west with him. ”

With that, the two slowly walked down the mountain road.

Tianpeng frowned and said, "It was me before, and now it's the roller blind, what is he going to do? Besides, how does he know that the roller blind is in the quicksand river?"

"There are some things that the poor monk can't say, since the Great Sage Lord is doing this, he must have his intentions. ”

"I know the roller blinds, and I used to have many contacts in Heavenly Court. At that time, it was in the prison, but it was next door. ”

"Then, when the time comes, the marshal will persuade the general to join the westward journey, okay? The general of the rolling shutter is also a key criminal of the heavenly court now, if the westward journey goes smoothly this time, the great sage will promise to let the heavenly court wash away his stigma and return him to the status of a god. ”

Tianpeng couldn't help laughing and said, "You have to first understand whether the roller blinds are rare and the identity of the righteous god. ”

Glancing back at Lu Liugui who was walking behind, and the black bear spirit carrying his bags, Tianpeng said softly: "Besides, there are so many people to do when traveling west." ”

"Hehe, you don't understand this. The little white dragon who followed behind him interjected: "Of course it's good to have a lot of people." Don't forget, we're dealing with Buddhism. How many disciples do we have? How many people do we have? The more the better, and if we want to run away from the fight, there will be someone behind us. ”

Hearing this, Tianpeng immediately glanced at him with disdain, turned his head to look straight ahead, and silently quickened his pace.

"Did I say something wrong?" the little white dragon looked at Xuanzang and asked.

The corners of Xuanzang's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled faintly: "That's right, Prince Ao has a point." ”

"That makes sense, so what kind of attitude does he have?" Looking at the back of the canopy from a distance, the little white dragon couldn't help but muttered quietly.

So they went all the way to the quicksand river, and everyone set up camp on the bank.

However, after two days of waiting, I didn't wait for anything. (To be continued......)
