In the darkness of the sea, the monkey walked slowly.

A few strange-looking fish slowly passed by him, until they found him, and then they were startled and disappeared without a trace.

The monkey still walked forward with a blank face, and his eyes did not show any brilliance, as if he had just woken up.

After a while, a little light appeared in the distance.

In the distance, he saw the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea surrounded by mountains, like a huge octopus lying on the bottom of the sea and stretching out its tentacles.

After more than 600 years, it is still so magnificent, and it has not changed at all.

After a slight hesitation, he smiled, lowered his posture and accelerated forward.

After a while, a few wandering shrimp soldiers came up, pointed at the monkey with their blades in their hands and shouted: "Who is coming?

"Let Ao Guang come out to see me, or let Ao Tingxin come out. The monkey said with a blank face.

The shrimp soldiers were stunned.

......

In the main hall, a mussel shell opens and closes slightly, and the brightly dressed mussel spirit keeps coming and going. The night pearls around it illuminate a qiē brightly, and the red corals all over are gorgeous.

On top of this palace, Ao Tingxin, who is the fourth princess, is carefully reporting to her father the details of the recent administration of the Dragon Palace.

A crab general hurriedly rushed into the hall and knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, there is a demon monkey outside the palace gate, saying that he wants to see you......"

"There's a demon monkey?"

"Is it Xiao Qi?" Ao Tingxin said softly.

"No, if it's Xiao Qimo, he will recognize it. ”

Ao Tingxin smiled and said, "Could it be that there is another monkey demon in the Divine Refining Realm in that Huaguo Mountain?" ”

The dragon king glanced at the crab general lightly, and asked casually, "Can the other party report his name?"

"No, I didn't. There was no marking. The crab general arched his hand and said: "He called His Majesty by his name." but he refused to report himself. Threatening to say that he wanted His Majesty to go out to see him, and if His Majesty was not there, he would let the fourth princess go out to see him, which was very arrogant. Several shrimp soldiers went to drive him away, but they couldn't beat him. According to the end of the general, that cultivation is at least above the realm of the gods, so first report to His Majesty, and then make a decision. If His Majesty confirmed that he didn't know such a demon monkey, the last general would mobilize the guards to drive him out of the East China Sea. ”

When you look up again. The crab general saw that the old dragon king and Ao Tingxin's faces were pale, and he couldn't help but shrink his head a little dazedly.

Six hundred and fifty years have passed, except for a few generals who have achieved success in cultivation and those who have made meritorious contributions and have been given peaches, most of them have been replaced several times.

For those who did not experience that great war, the monkey demon is just a monkey demon, and among the Three Realms, there are so many monkey demons. But for those who lived through that great war, the word 'monkey demon' means a terrifying possibility. And the monkey demon who can call the Dragon King of the East China Sea by name and recognize the four princesses Ao Tingxin. It's not far from that terrible possibility.

After a long time, the old dragon king looked at the crab general and said softly, "How is the demon monkey dressed?"

The crab general thought for a moment. Said: "The demon monkey has no clothes on it, just a few banana leaves tied, no different from the little demon in the shape of a square." However, cultivation is extraordinary. ”

The old dragon king was already sweating, and he turned his face to Ao Tingxin and said, "Who do you think?"

At this time, Ao Tingxin's face was also solemn, and she frowned tightly and said, "The monsters in the God Transformation Realm should all have some knowledge. If you don't have much strength, you won't be stupid enough to break into the Dragon Palace alone. Among the three realms, the monkey demons who can break into the Dragon Palace alone and have no fear on their faces are the uncertain macaque king and the prison marmoset king. If they are okay, after all, they and the Bull Demon King are sworn brothers, and the Bull Demon King has just ceased war with Heavenly Court, so they shouldn't cause trouble at will. But firstly, the macaque king and the prison marmoset king have no contact with my East China Sea Dragon Palace, and secondly, they will never tie up a few banana leaves and come to the door...... If it weren't for them......"

At this point, Ao Tingxin paused and didn't go any further.

The old dragon king looked a little flustered, and the hand holding the dragon chair was loose and tight, tight and loose.

After a long time, Ao Tingxin bowed down and said: "Father, Tingxin and Huaguo Mountain have some old feelings, so it's better to let Tingxin go out and have a look." ”

"Also...... It's good. The old dragon king raised his hand and beckoned the crab general to him, and said in a low voice: "Gather all the guards and protect the four princesses." ”

"No. ”

Before the crab could turn around, Ao Tingxin had already stretched out his hand to stop it, and said softly: "Excuse me." If it's the Macaque King or the Prison Tamarin King, it's fine, and if it's the other one, even if everyone in the Dragon Palace is gathered, there's nothing to be done. On the contrary, it is easy for the other party to misunderstand. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The old dragon king hurriedly said: "You see that my father is a little confused, yes, yes, yes, yes, ”

......

In a short time, the closed door of the Dragon Palace slowly opened.

Ao Tingxin lifted the hem of his skirt and crossed the threshold, and saw a group of soldiers surrounding the monkeys in the distance. In the middle of the encirclement, the monkey sat lazily on a rock.

The moment he saw the monkey, Ao Tingxin was completely stunned.

She recognized the monkey at a glance, and the hand hidden in her sleeve tightened secretly.

The monkey slowly got up on his knees, raised his head, and walked towards Ao Tingxin step by step.

"Stop! I don't kneel down when I see the fourth princess!"

Seeing this, the soldiers around them hurriedly stepped forward to block them one by one with their blades in hand.

In a hurry, Ao Tingxin hurriedly shouted: "Stop——! all retreat!

Under this shout, the generals were stunned, looked at each other one by one, put away their weapons, and slowly retreated.

"Don't worry, I don't want to fight. Passing by Ao Tingxin, the monkey crossed the threshold and strode towards the inner perimeter of the Dragon Palace.

Ao Tingxin swallowed his saliva, collected his attention, and hurriedly turned around and followed, his expression looked like a little girl, and all the soldiers and generals were dumbfounded.

There are four dignified princesses following, and naturally no one is stopping them along the way. The people in the Dragon Palace saluted respectfully one by one, but they were a little surprised when they looked at the monkeys.

It was only when he reached the inner courtyard of the Dragon Palace that the monkey stopped, blinking and looking around for a long time. He asked softly, "Where is the treasure house of your Dragon Palace?" I've forgotten a little. ”

"Over here. Ao Tingxin lowered his head and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way. He cautiously asked, "What treasure is the Great Sage looking for, can you tell Tingxin?"

"I just want to find a dress to wear, I want to meet my old friend, I can't just tie two leaves and go over, right? I haven't seen you for hundreds of years...... It's too wolf-like. The monkey said softly: "I thought about it for a long time, but I only thought of you here, so I came over." ”

From beginning to end, both in tone and demeanor, he was full of tiredness.

All the way to the front of the Dragon Palace Treasure House. Ao listened to Xinfu and saluted: "The Great Sage, please wait for a while, listen to the heart and let people go to get the key, it only takes a moment." ”

"Okay, hurry. The monkey nodded.

Ao Tingxin reached out and summoned a shrimp soldier and asked him to go and get the key.

Although the shrimp soldier hadn't figured out what was going on, the fourth princess personally gave the order, so naturally she didn't dare to slack off, and responded with a "promise". He quickly turned around and ran away.

After the shrimp soldier left, the monkey glanced at Ao Tingxin and said, "Why are you so afraid of me? ”

"That's listening to the heart, young and ignorant. Saying that, Ao Tingxin hurriedly said: "Tingxin thanked the Great Sage for not killing that day for the Dragon Palace." ”

Hear this. The monkey burst out laughing and sighed softly, "You ...... It's really restrained. You Dragon Palace didn't offend me anything. Why should I kill you? Besides, Yang Chan's sister-in-law is still the third princess of the West Sea, and if you really want to talk about it, we are still relatives. If she does something to your Dragon Palace, she won't pick my skin?"

Ao Tingxin slowly got up and asked cautiously, "Has the Great Sage gone to see Sister Yang Chan?"

"Not yet, I'm going to change my clothes and go to see you. I want to meet the others, and I don't know how they're doing now. ”

"All these years...... Where are the Great Sages? I heard that the Great Sage was imprisoned by the Buddhists, but I didn't expect ......."

"It's imprisoned, yes. The monkey raised his head and sighed a little tiredly: "I have been locked up for six hundred and fifty years, and I have just been released from prison." ”

As he spoke, he laughed to himself.

Ao Tingxin didn't dare to laugh along, but he kept standing next to the monkey like a little girl.

After a while, the monkey asked softly, "How is Huaguo Mountain now?

"Listen to the heart, and walk around in your spare time. ”

"Oh?"

"Since you lost your news, the Great Sage, Huaguo Mountain has dispersed. The battle of that day also turned Huaguo Mountain into a scorched earth. Now there are still some little demons living there, but none of the people who were familiar back then are gone. ”

"Little Demon ...... Do they all have names?"

"Cao Xiaohua, do you remember the Great Sage?"

"The fairy grass?"

"Yes. After that war, because you lost your news, the demons disagreed, and the demon clan split. The Bull Demon King, the Peng Demon King, the Nine-Headed Insect, Lu Qing, and the Multi-Eyed Monster each led one and went their own way. I can't count the small ones. Cao Xiaohua said that she wanted to return to Shuiliandong, so soon after the war, she returned to Huaguo Mountain to settle down. ”

"I really didn't expect that she would be the one who defended Huaguo Mountain in the end. As he spoke, the monkey reached out and rubbed his eyes.

Raising his eyes to look at the monkey, Ao Tingxin cautiously asked, "Great Sage...... What's next?"

At this moment, the shrimp soldier had already taken the key and quickly ran to Ao Tingxin and presented it with both hands.

After taking the key, Ao Tingxin reached out and opened the door of the treasure house, but his eyes were still looking at the monkey from time to time, still so cautious.

"I don't have any plans now, let's take one step at a time. With that, the monkey took a step forward and stretched out his hand to push open the door.

......

At this time, among the Three Realms, a gossip from Lingshan had spread wildly, saying that there was a monk from the East who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures on the orders of the Buddha.

Some people say that this monk is the reincarnation of the second disciple of the Buddha, Jin Cicada, who only needs to eat a bite of his flesh to live forever, and there is no need to try to get peaches and ginseng fruits every time the longevity is approaching.

Some people say that the gold given by the Buddha in his hand can gather the world's wealth.

Some people say that if the robe given by the Buddha on his body is put on, he can soar in a hundred days!

The rumors are getting more and more mysterious and unbelievable.

What's more, he swore to the sky, saying that the Buddha had made it clear that this westward trip was a test, and if he could arrive at the Da Lei Yin Temple safely, it would be good, even if he was eaten by monsters halfway and killed by mortals, it was also the destiny of heaven, and he would never be held accountable......

For a time, the Three Realms were surging!(To be continued......)
