It was late at night, and the red boy was snoring rhythmically and sleeping soundly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The next day, just after dawn, Princess Iron Fan got up and arranged for the little demon in the cave to prepare for the full moon banquet.
The full moon banquet is held at the banquet hall in Basho-dong. The banquet hall is a side cave located on the west side of Basho-dong with a separate cave door and a narrow six-foot long aisle connecting to Basho-dong. The banquet hall is very spacious, with an area of about 1,000 acres, and countless stone tables and stone benches are neatly arranged.
The little demons were busy, with cheerful smiles on their faces, running around the banquet hall and Basho Cave. Some are holding a jar of wine, some are holding fresh melons and fruits, and some are holding plates of delicious pastries. There are also some little demons, who bid farewell to the sloppy image of the past, and also dressed up a little, such as that Niu San, he washed his face white and clean today, which made his friends think that he learned to molt the snake spirit.
Princess Iron Fan was directing the little demon to hang colorful strips in the Basho Cave, when she suddenly heard a hoarse voice from outside the cave: "Bull Demon King, please open the door quickly!"
Princess Iron Fan thought in her heart: Who came so early and asked Lao Niu to open the door by name?
Princess Iron Fan walked over with a puzzled face, and slowly opened the door of the cave, only to see a white-haired old woman wearing a gorgeous head and a golden crown holding a pretty girl standing at the door.
"Excuse me, you are the princess of the iron fan, right?" asked the white-haired old woman with a kind face.
When Princess Iron Fan heard this voice, she knew that this white-haired old woman was the one who called the door just now, but she had the impression that she had never seen this white-haired old woman, so she asked, "Dare to ask, who are you?"
"Princess Iron Fan, you haven't seen me, it doesn't matter," the white-haired old woman smiled, although she is not young, but because she usually pays attention to maintenance, the wrinkles on her face are not very obvious, "Let me introduce myself, I am the fox king of Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain, named Yuqian Fox, I brought the little girl Princess Jade Face here today, and I came to congratulate the young master of your mansion on the joy of the full moon." ā
As she spoke, she also took out a beautifully packaged gift box and stuffed it into the hand of the Iron Fan Princess.
Yu Qianhu, this name is so familiar, I have heard other demon kings mention it, saying that she is now more than nine thousand years old, but she is still only in the late stage of Dacheng. However, I don't think I invited her to come, could it be that she was invited by the Bull Demon King?
Princess Iron Fan paused for a moment, said a few polite words, and then invited the jade thousand fox and the jade mask princess in. Princess Jade Mask has been following Jade Qianhu closely, bowing her head and saying nothing.
After that, one after another, the cave demon kings, the bull demon kings' worship brothers or something came, and the entire banquet hall was bustling and lively.
The Bull Demon King pulled the red boy to toast everywhere, and every time he arrived at a table, the red boy smiled and replaced the wine with tea, but ah, because there were too many demons coming, the red boy ran a lot of thatched houses. Fortunately, the Bull Demon King has a decent amount of alcohol, otherwise such a formation, the average demon king really can't stand it.
"Brother Niu, do you know? Some time ago, the Jade Emperor Lao'er sent so many gods to capture me, but they didn't even take back a single of my monkey hair. And in the past two days, he sent Tai Bai Xing to Huaguo Mountain, saying that he wanted to recruit me back and make me a Monkey King. Sun Wukong saw that the Bull Demon King came to toast, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down.
When the Bull Demon King heard this, he smiled heartily: "Ah, seventh brother, this is a good thing!"
"However, I still don't know what to do, I always feel that things are not so simple. Sun Wukong jumped on the stone table, scratched his ears and cheeks.
"Seventh brother, don't hesitate, this is a good thing, maybe the Jade Emperor figured it out, so he made you a great sage, maybe when he recruited a few of us, and be a great sage to accompany you." The second Jiao Demon King smiled, and a subtle strange look flashed in his eyes.
When the Old Fifth Macaque King heard this, he also echoed: "Yes, Seventh Brother, this is a good opportunity, you don't know how many demons want to go to Heaven to get an errand but can't get it, don't miss it." ā
"Big brother, what do you think?" Sun Wukong still prefers to listen to the opinion of the Bull Demon King.
"This," the Bull Demon King's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't have a good impression of Heaven itself, and when he heard Sun Wukong say that, he didn't know the bottom of his heart at the moment, "Seventh brother, it's better for you to decide!"
"Oh, seventh brother, you can go to Heaven to try it first, I really don't think it's appropriate, and it's not too late to go back to Huaguo Mountain. The Old Sanpeng Demon King suggested.
"Well, that's a good idea. After hearing this, the Bull Demon King nodded.
"Then do it, try it first. When Tai Bai Xing comes back, I will promise him. Sun Wukong slapped his thigh and said it was decided.
The red boy came out of the thatched house and saw that the Bull Demon King was drinking with Sun Wukong, so he ran over in a hurry.
"Yo, isn't this my red boy's nephew?" Sun Wukong pinched the red boy's little face affectionately, his eyes were bright, "Haha, I haven't seen you for a few days, this little guy has eaten fat!"
Mm, am I fat?
Well, I said, why are these clothes tightly worn lately, and there is a feeling of being tied? I see.
The red boy reflected for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled faintly, without explanation.
"Child, your seventh uncle is going to Heaven to be the Monkey King, bless him!" the Bull Demon King said as he put his arm around the red boy's shoulder.
Huh?
Monkey King is going to Heaven again?
Sun Wukong, don't you go, I've seen Journey to the West, you went up this time and made a peach conference, and in the end the heavenly court couldn't do anything about you, please come to the Buddha to surrender you, and from then on, you have been depressed in that Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years.
What a tragic result!
The red boy pondered for a moment, helpless, so he had to put on a reluctant expression and said, "Uncle Seven, don't go, I can't bear you." ā
As soon as Red Boy's words came out, this attitude made the five brothers except the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong stunned.
They think this is a good thing and should be celebrated with great fanfare, but this red boy actually intends to keep Sun Wukong.
The Jiao Demon King narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered: "Don't say that, virtuous nephew, this is a good thing to go to heaven, and when your seventh uncle mixes well in the future, and has a chance, we will also enjoy happiness." ā
"That's right! Virtuous nephew, there is a saying that if a person attains the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, not to mention that we are your seventh uncle's good brothers, and not his chicken dog, then we will definitely have a bright future, and maybe the mortal world will also offer our incense! If you miss your seventh uncle, you can let him drive the somersault cloud down to see you! Haha, how fast his somersault cloud is, it will swish to the ground twice!" The old fourth lion camel king painted a beautiful "future" to the red boy with affection.
Even the old sixth Xiaoyu marmoset king, who usually doesn't like to talk much, nodded and said, "Virtuous nephew, that's good." ā
As soon as Sun Wukong heard everyone say this, he understood that he had to go this time, if he didn't go, the five brothers would not be willing. So, in order to give the red boy a step down, he stared at the red boy and smiled: "If the red boy wants to be Uncle Seven, use this exclusive sound transmission jade note to chat with me, okay?"
Well, it's all come to this point, what can I do?
The red boy took the jade talisman, and suddenly remembered a certain chat software called buckle in his previous life, so he nodded lightly and said, "Okay! Seventh uncle, you want to be online!"
