Between the thin clouds and mist, a large number of soldiers can be vaguely seen stepping on iron armor.

A handful of soldiers shivered in the faint light.

In a short period of time, Nantianmen has changed from an originally open state to a strictly guarded iron bucket, and everyone has stretched their nerves to the extreme.

"Nuwa Niangniang, how did you fight with that monkey?" In the tower of Nantianmen, the Jade Emperor held up the table and gritted his teeth and asked, "How many parties are involved in this matter, and are there any members of my Heavenly Court involved?"

The generals present looked at each other one by one.

Swallowing dryly, Li Jing said in a low voice: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister doesn't know." ”

"I don't know...... Didn't you already send spies out?"

"Both of them are extremely strong and difficult to approach. It is not a matter of time to get to the bottom of the matter. So...... So far, there has been no return. ”

At this point, Li Jing didn't say any more, but raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the Jade Emperor.

The other people in the city tower also lowered their heads one by one, looking at the Jade Emperor cautiously.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor was already in a state of extreme anxiety.

He would stretch out his hand and pinch the Qingming acupoint to close his eyes and recuperate, hold the table and frown tightly, and look out of the Nantian Gate uneasily, walking back and forth around the long table. From time to time, I reached out and picked up the spy reports on the table that I had read many times and looked through them, as if I was about to memorize them all.

His gaze kept wandering, from beginning to end, but he didn't even glance at the generals in front of him.

The Jade Emperor of the Three Realms, as soon as he touched this monkey, he became like this, how could he have the courage to face his subordinates?

Good for a while. The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth again and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever sent someone to report the matter to Sanqing?"

"Someone has already been sent. But the three clearings were all closed. Missing. I don't answer espionage reports either. ”

The Jade Emperor almost threw out the fold in his hand. I finally paused, but I could only close my eyes deeply.

At this moment, he almost had the heart to die.

Why did Sanqing, who was the protector of Heavenly Court on weekdays, throw him away like an abandoned child, regardless of whether he asked? Since Heavenly Court is so cheap, why do you want to let these people toss every day?

This Jade Emperor deserves it, he is really aggrieved!

After being silent for a while, the Jade Emperor could only blink his eyes. Almost helplessly, he turned to ask, "That demon monkey, we haven't offended him recently, have we?"

"Back to Your Majesty, in the area near the battlefield, Heavenly Court has not placed half of the land of the mountain gods, and it is very rare to send the Heavenly Patrol Mansion to inspect. If it weren't for the fact that the battle was too loud, I'm afraid our side wouldn't know about it yet. Therefore, the possibility of our personnel being involved and offending the demon monkey is very small. ”

"In this way, if something really happens. It can only be on Nuwa Niangniang. How is she cultivating?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has not yet ascended to heaven. Nuwa Niangniang has already gone into retreat. For her business, the minister ...... I really don't know. ”

"Isn't there a record in the library of Heavenly Court?"

"Nope. If you want to know, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the old man of Heavenly Court. ”

The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and glanced out of the empty Nantian Gate.

At this moment, a celestial soldier hurriedly walked in and knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, take the Nether Express. The demon monkey is heading east, Nuwa Niangniang...... It seems to have gone east as well. ”

"It seems?" The Jade Emperor was stunned for a moment, and asked sharply: "Yes, yes, no, no, what does it mean that 'it seems to have gone east'?"

Being asked like this, Tianbing was also stunned, so he had to cast a look at Li Jing for help.

Helpless, Li Jing had no choice but to gently wave his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, and he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Nuwa Niangniang is unpredictable, in the previous battle report, she didn't even show her true identity. The Nether should have reported this out of prudence. ”

After that, Li Jing looked at the Jade Emperor cautiously again.

However, at this time, the Jade Emperor's thoughts were no longer here.

He propped up the long table with one hand, closed his eyes and frowned, sometimes widening his eyes, and then closing them again after a while, and so on and so forth, as if he had fallen into a tangle. After a while, he muttered to himself, "The demon monkey is to the east, and she is also to the east." Is this a pursuit? Will they ...... Chase and chase, and run to Nantianmen? The monkey made trouble like this back then, and after a lot of trouble in the sky and the earth, it finally pointed to Nantianmen......"

Li Jing blinked his eyes and didn't dare to say anything.

After a long time, the Jade Emperor took a deep breath and asked, "What is Nuwa Niangniang's cultivation?"

The corners of Li Jing's mouth suddenly twitched slightly.

This is a question that has just been asked, and ......

Helpless, due to the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Li Jing had to reply stubbornly: "If you return to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know ......"

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know that, I don't know!" The Jade Emperor slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "I don't even know the most basic things, what is the use of this Nantianmen if I want this Tiantianfu?

"Your Majesty taught you a lesson!" Li Jing hurriedly wiped a handful of sweat and arched his hand: "Minister, let's go investigate!"

With that, Li Jing quickly took two steps back, turned around and left. Before leaving, he quietly gave Nezha a look on the side.

Seeing this, Nezha also hurriedly saluted the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, time is pressing, and the minister suddenly remembered that the defense of the northern region seems to be a little insufficient, and the minister wants to ......."

"Go, go, go. The Jade Emperor waved his hand impatiently.

Nodding, Nezha also took two steps back, turned around and left.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he quietly glanced behind him, muttering, "Ask, ask a fart." If you can get that monkey out of the way, can you still be dealt with by Heavenly Court? Except for the Nantianmen Gate, what else can you do? With this little force, can you still prevent a flower?"

As soon as he looked up, Nezha happened to see Li Jing who was waiting for him in front of the door, and he was stunned.

Li Jing looked at Nezha and said coldly, "Don't talk much. ”

Nezha hurriedly shrunk his neck: "Father taught ......"

Turning around, the two slowly walked into the distance.

"Your Majesty now is a little different from your previous Majesty, at times like this. It's better not to stand in the court. ”

"The child knows ......"

At this very moment. A member of the Qing family not far behind him shouted loudly: "Your Majesty." It's too platinum to bring—!"

......

Huaguo Mountain.

In the dark cave, a lone lamp is always shining.

Cao Xiaohua has a headache in the face of this mountain of books.

More than 600 years ago, the Huaguo Mountain Demon Kingdom was actually not big compared to the human realm. There are only six or seven million people when they are full. In comparison, it's only moderate. But unlike the human kingdom at this time, none of the 10 of them could pick out a literate person, but in the original Huaguo Mountain Demon Country, almost every monster could read and learn words.

This distinction resulted in Huaguo Mountain having a richer collection of books than Heavenly Court, even if the Demon Kingdom fell. The books that have been left behind are still astronomical.

Can these things be lost?

Definitely not. In there, everything about Huaguo Mountain is recorded. According to the instructions left by the monkey, you can throw away anything, but you can't lose these books. Because these are legacies. As long as these things are still there, no matter how desperate the demon clan is, there is still hope for revival.

Cao Xiaohua did not know the time, place, or intention of the monkey when he said these words. However, as the head of internal affairs of the Qitian Palace in Huaguo Mountain, she has the obligation to protect these things.

A white rabbit spirit whispered, "Sister Xiaohua, let's do it." Just move out and bask in the sun. Just go back and put it back the way you came. We can still do it. ”

Shaking her head, Cao Xiaohua sighed softly: "I don't worry about you alone." Never mind. It's not the first time. ”

"No. ”

It is not difficult to preserve one book collection, and it is not difficult to organize ten books, but it is really not easy to regularly organize the collection of twenty books in the entire library and check them one by one. Even if you work tirelessly every day, it will take five years.

Just as Cao Xiaohua commanded a few little demons to start moving those books out, Xiao Qi suddenly rushed in from outside the cave and hurriedly ran to Cao Xiaohua.

"It's not good! Sister Xiaohua, the woman who claimed to be the senior sister of the Great Sage last time is here again!"

"Huh?"

"I'm really shouting outside, saying I want to see you!"

As he spoke, Xiao Qi took Cao Xiaohua's hand and ran outside the cave.

......

"Cao Xiaohua--you come out quickly! There is an emergency! I am in a hurry, it is your great sage who asked me to come to you!"

Sweeping the barren surface of Huaguo Mountain, Qingxin is spinning around like a headless fly.

In the pile of rubbles a mile away, the grass flowers just watched from afar.

"Sister Xiaohua, do you want to send someone to talk to her?"

"Nope. Cao Xiaohua looked at Qingxin in the distance, shook her head and said, "Don't act rashly yet." If someone accidentally falls into her hands, it's in trouble. Tell everyone to hide. ”

"No!"

After many turns back and forth, Qingxin could only pause and take out the jade slip that contacted the monkey and put it on his lips.

"I went to Huaguo Mountain, but the grass and flowers refused to come out. ”

"You told her that I asked you to find it, and that you are my junior sister. ”

"I've already said it, but she still won't come out. ”

"It's impossible...... Could it be that she is no longer in Huaguo Mountain?"

"That ......" said Qingxin hesitantly, "I had a fight with her last time......"

"What?" the monkey was stunned.

"I didn't know anything at the time, that's why I ...... I really didn't mean to, I really didn't ......."

After being silent for a while, the monkey on the other side of the jade slip asked coldly, "What did you do when you ran to my Huaguo Mountain before?"

"I ...... I didn't do anything. ”

"Nothing?"

Qingxin's brows were so wrinkled that he was about to wring out the water, and a thousand words were blocked in his throat, not daring to say it, not being able to say it. Helpless, she had no choice but to say, "Or...... What kind of code can you tell me about Huaguo Mountain or something?"

"No, I'll be right there. ”

"You still don't believe me?"

"I think I trust Cao Xiaohua more than you. ”

With that, the monkey cut off contact.

Silent.

Qingxin held the jade slip in a daze and hung it in the air, and for a while, he was at a loss.

After a long time, she smiled faintly and said softly: "It's okay if you don't trust, don't trust...... In the future, there will probably be no more entanglements. ”

She will never forget the "love" that she can't find in her heart, and she will never forget the only flower that the monkey has ever existed on the moon tree.

The entanglement of the two lives, giving everything, in the end is only in exchange for plausible pity.

In the distance, the figure of the monkey had already flown over, getting closer and closer.

She slowly descended to a hillside, put the jade slip to her lips, and said softly: "The antidote is already there, but another medicine is needed." It is the dew condensed by the prototype of the grass flower. Just drop it on the antidote and take it. ”

The vial was placed on the stone. Just before the monkey arrived, she soared into the air and turned to leave.

Since we already know that one step forward is an abyss, it is better to stop here in this life. (To be continued......)
