After bidding farewell to the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the stone monkey went to the spring, wanting to see the Five Dragon Girls one last time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Xiao Shibai was bored and talking to himself to the Five Dragon Girls in the spring, Xiao Jiu suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brother Stone Monkey! Brother Stone Monkey!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shi also looked over, and then also exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Stone Monkey! Brother Stone Monkey, we are here!"

The stone monkey didn't expect to see Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi before leaving the East China Sea, happily hugged the two girls in his arms, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Shi replied as a matter of course: "We are waiting for Brother Stone Monkey here!"

The stone monkey rubbed the faces of the two girls affectionately on his forehead, and then asked, "Then how did you know that I was coming here?"

Xiao Jiu patted the stone monkey's head with his little hand and said, "Brother Stone Monkey is so stupid! Because the fifth sister is here! We knew that Brother Stone Monkey would come to see the fifth sister!"

Hearing this, the stone monkey muttered, "Yes, the Five Dragon Girls are here, how could I not come?"

Xiao Shi hugged the stone monkey's neck with his hand and whispered, "We have a gift for the stone monkey brother!"

The stone monkey asked curiously, "What kind of gift?"

Xiao Shi hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Yaksha, hurry up and bring up the gift for Brother Stone Monkey!"

So Xiao Shi pointed to the gift brought up by the shrimp soldiers and said: "This is the phoenix wing purple gold crown, this is the chain gold armor, this is the lotus silk step cloud shoes, Brother Stone Monkey quickly put it on for us to see!"

So the stone monkey put down Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi and exchanged them for these three gifts.

Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi clapped their hands happily and shouted, "Brother Stone Monkey is so good-looking! He is really a big hero!

The stone monkey spun around in place and looked at it and felt good. It's that the two phoenix wings on the purple and gold crown of phoenix wings are too common, so he cast a spell to receive the phoenix wings into the golden crown.

Xiao Jiu stood on tiptoe, held a big pearl in both hands and handed it to the stone monkey, and said: "Brother stone monkey, this is the big and good pearl I promised you! You must not forget Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi! We will miss you!"

The stone monkey couldn't help but feel a little sentimental and picked up Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi again, kissed their foreheads, and said, "Brother Shi Monkey will definitely miss you! I will come back to see you after passing through the East China Sea in the future." If you want to find Brother Monkey in any way, tell your father, and your father will inform me, and I will come back to protect you!"

The two girls hugged the stone monkey with red eyes, unwilling to let go for a long time. The stone monkey had no choice but to send them to the gate of the Dragon Palace before returning to the spring.

Looking at the little red dragon swimming in the fist-sized spring, the stone monkey seemed to see the look of the five dragon girls when she first saw her. The stone monkey smiled and said to himself: "Being trapped in the spring for eternity may be the belonging you are pursuing!

Leaving the East China Sea and standing above the sea, the stone monkey thought about it and went back to Huaguo Mountain first.

Finding the current Monkey King again, the stone monkey instructed him: "You can move in the Water Curtain Cave, and the Demon King of the Mixed World will not come to disturb him again." If something happens to the monkeys in the future, you can go to the edge of the East China Sea and shout to see the Dragon King of the East China Sea, saying that you are the monkey monkey grandson of the stone monkey, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea will definitely help you!"

After speaking, the stone monkey wanted to take off and leave.

At this time, the Monkey King suddenly fell to the ground and said respectfully: "You must be the number one king! I didn't expect you to come back from practicing supernatural powers! Please teach us to cultivate!"

The stone monkey didn't expect that he would be recognized, and after thinking about it, he decided to hand over the Tunafa passed down by his ancestors to these monkeys, as for whether they can comprehend the qi of heaven and earth, it depends on their creation.

The stone monkeys stopped in the Water Curtain Cave for another seven days, during which time at the request of the Monkey King, he taught them the secret of making monkey wine. At the same time, these monkeys were named and surnamed Sun, and this Tuna method was named Dapin Tianxian Duel. The name 'Dapin Tianxian Jue' is completely the work of the thoughts of the stone monkey in his previous life.

When the seventh day of the Dharma transmission was over, the stone monkey suddenly saw two acquaintances among the monkeys, the soul envoys of the underworld: the bull head and the horse face. Seeing that they were snatching away the soul of a monkey again.

The stone monkey stepped forward to block their path and saluted, "Do you remember me? ”

The bull head was a little surprised and said, "You, can you see us?"

Ma Mian also looked at the stone monkey curiously, and recalled in his mind when he had seen the monkey in front of him.

Seeing that they didn't think of themselves for a while, the stone monkey reminded them: "More than three hundred years ago, it was also in this Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave that the two of them specially appeared in my ...... to speak."

Before the stone monkey could finish speaking, the bull head exclaimed, "You are the monkey who does not look like a monkey! What are you cultivating now? How can you see us." ”

Seeing that they finally remembered, the stone monkey continued, "I have now obtained the Immortal Dao Fruit, I wonder if I can follow you down to the underworld now?"

Hearing that the stone monkey had attained the Immortal Dao Fruit, the bull's head and the horse's face were all shocked! I hadn't seen it for hundreds of years, and this monkey's cultivation had already reached such an incredible level!

Ma Mian asked with some hesitation, "You want to go down to the underworld?"

The stone monkey nodded, "Yes, I don't know what rules need to be paid attention to?"

Ma Mian thought for a while and said, "Since you have obtained the Immortal Dao Fruit, you have the qualifications to go to the underworld as a living. But you are not under the control of the underworld now, and if something happens at that time, it will be difficult for me and the bull head to explain it! After all, we led you down to the underworld. So ......"

Speaking of this, the horse stopped and the stone monkey couldn't help asking, "So what? If you have anything to say, just say it directly! If there are rules, follow the rules." ”

Hearing the stone monkey's words, Ma Mian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that the stone monkey would rely on his strong mana to force him to take him down to the underworld! At that time, the stone monkey would be severely punished, and he and the bull head would also be guilty. Fortunately, this monkey is still very good and knows the rules.

Ma Mian continued: "Since the stone monkey Taoist said so, then I will be blunt. First of all, the stone monkey Taoist must report to the local land and get his own household registration certificate. Then go to the local Chenghuang Mansion Yayin and Yang Division to apply, and the Chenghuang will stamp and report to the Emperor of Beiyin, and if the Emperor agrees, he will give a pardon. After receiving the emperor's pardon, you can travel freely in the underworld. ”

The stone monkey asked curiously: "I know both the land and the city god, so what is the official position of this Emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu Prefecture? Is it the Lord of Yama or is he the greatest?"

Ma Mian said respectfully: "The Emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu is in charge of the entire underworld, and he is the supreme ruler of the underworld, sitting in the city of the Xudu City!

It turns out that Lord Yama is not the biggest official in the underworld! But where is the land in Huaguo Mountain, and where is the local Chenghuang?

So the stone monkey cheekily said, "I wonder if you two can show me a way? I have never dealt with the land of Huaguo Mountain and the city god. ”

Ma Mian replied: "We just happened to go to the land and the city god to run an errand, just to lead the way for the Taoist friends. If there is nothing to do, let's go on the road?"

The stone monkey hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Then there are two Lao! Let's go on the road." ”

Seeing that Ma Mian and the stone monkey were finished talking, the bull head asked the stone monkey familiarly: "What is the matter with Daoyou going to the underworld? Are you going to visit the old monkey from three hundred years ago?"

Hearing this, the stone monkey asked with some surprise, "Is the old monkey still in the underworld? It's been three hundred years!"

"Hey! Who says it's not! Now the princes and kings of the world like to fight, and countless people have died! Ghosts are squeezing the underworld. How can there be so many people in the underworld to deal with it! The old monkey can only stay in the underworld. Niu Tou said helplessly. But fortunately, my overtime pay is indispensable!

The stone monkey was still very curious about the underworld, so he asked again: "Then why don't you recruit some more people? There is only one king of Yama, will he be too busy?"

Speaking of the King of Yama, Niu Tou said in a low voice: "I heard rumors that the Great Emperor of the Northern Yin Xudu is preparing to recruit nine more Yamas to form ten halls of Yama. Three more judges were recruited to form four major judges and lead the four divisions. And we, the top ten soul hookers, were promoted to the top ten yin handsome ......"

At this time, Ma Mian on the side coughed and interrupted Niu Tou's words! Ma Mian glared at Niu Tou reproachfully.

Ma Mian opened his mouth and said: "What Niu Tou said just now is all hearsay, and it cannot be trusted! Let's rush to Huaguoshan Land Temple!"

Listening to Niu Tou talk about the underworld, the stone monkey was very interested, and he wanted to ask which of the top ten ghost handsomes were. But it seems that Ma Mian will not let the bull head say. But when he heard Ma Mian talking about the land of Huaguo Mountain, the stone monkey was interested again. I have never heard of land in Huaguo Mountain, let alone the Land Temple!

So the stone monkey asked again: "We still have a land temple in Huaguo Mountain, could it be that the land god is a monkey?"

The horse smiled and did not say a word, just leading the way in front. And the bull head followed behind and kept the monkey ghost at bay with an iron chain. Seeing that none of them answered, the stone monkey had no choice but to follow in their footsteps.

The horse face and the ox's head crossed the mountain and river in front, and the stone monkey had to follow through the mountain and river. All the way to the east, I came to a cliff inside. I saw that there was a rather large cave in the body of this cliff, which was fully furnished, steaming on the stove, and the smell of rice was overflowing, but I just didn't see the legendary land.

Niu Tou Ma Mian completely regarded this as his home, one poured tea and drank water, and the other rested on a chair. The bull head also beckoned the stone monkey to quench his thirst with a cup of tea.

The stone monkey couldn't help asking, "Where is the land?"

As soon as the stone monkey finished speaking, he heard a voice from the stone under his feet: "Here you are! Wait a minute, wait a minute." I'll help my wife carry something and come up. ”

The bull head responded: "Lord Land, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry! You can be busy slowly, and we can rest more." ”

At this moment, a wisp of white smoke suddenly rose from the stone, and then the white smoke changed into an old woman. The old woman was coarsely dressed in a wooden hairpin, and her back was bent.

When the stone monkey was wondering who the old woman was, the old woman asked Ma Mian, "Ma Mian, why did you bring a live monkey here?"

Ma Mian replied, "Lady Land, this is not just a living monkey! He is here to report to enter the underworld, you hurry up and call the land lord to come up and issue a household registration certificate for him. ”

Hearing this, the land woman couldn't help but look at the stone monkey a few more times, and after saluting the stone monkey, she turned into a wisp of white smoke and burrowed into the stone.

Looking at this land woman back and forth, the stone monkey pulled the cow's head and asked curiously, "Is this land woman the wife of the land lord?"

The bull head put down the teacup in his hand and nodded.

Seeing this, the stone monkey asked, "Can the heavenly immortals still get married?"

At this time, Ma Mian interjected: "There is no distinction between heaven and heaven among immortals, and those who do the way for heaven are called immortals! And there is also a difference between immortals and immortals, there are grades of immortals and immortals without grades. Immortals of the grade are righteous gods, and they have the fruit of immortality, and they cannot get married and have children. Immortals of no grade are secondary gods or sub-gods, and they cannot live forever, but they can get married and have children. ”

"What about the Jade Emperor? Since he is in charge of the Heavenly Court and has the highest grade, why can he get married? How many daughters did he give birth to? Could it be that the Queen Mother is not the wife of the Jade Emperor?" the stone monkey hurriedly asked.

The horse face and the bull head looked at each other, both stunned by the question. They have never thought about this problem, and they have never heard of it after so many years in the underworld.

Ma Mian had no choice but to reply: "The time for me and Niutou to cultivate is still short, and I don't know the answer! When Daoist friends enter the Difu Xudu City, you can go to consult the Emperor of Beiyin Xudu." ”

The stone monkey nodded regretfully and said, "That's all there is to it." Then are you bull-headed and horse-faced gods or secondary gods?"

The bull head fell to the ground and said, "We are sub-gods! ”

A thousand years? A sub-god of the underworld can live for such a long time! The stone monkey couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The stone monkey thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Then which of you is married?"

Hearing this, Niu Tou was even more disappointed, and muttered: "Ma Mian has been married a long time ago, and he has a son!

"Who did Ma Mian marry?, it can't be a fairy in the sky!" the stone monkey laughed.

Ma Mian hurriedly explained: "The stone monkey Taoist friend made fun of it! My wife is just a ghost in the underworld. Most of the fairies in the sky are graded. ”

At this time, two white smoke rose from the stones under his feet, one turned into the land woman, and the other turned into the land lord.

The land lord saluted the stone monkey with a cane: "I don't know if the great immortal is driving and I hope to forgive the sins! ”

After the land lord finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand forward, and saw a name book appear in his right hand. At this time, the land lord silently recited a few incantations, and the account book suddenly opened by itself, and a yellow talisman flew out of it, and the yellow talisman stood out of thin air. The land lord turned his right hand downward, and the account book suddenly disappeared.

The land lord took out a seal from his arms, stamped a seal on the yellow talisman, and then handed the yellow talisman to the stone monkey.

The stone monkey took the yellow talisman, only to see that the yellow talisman read: Dongsheng Shenzhou Aolai Sea Area Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave People Sun Wukong has the Immortal Dao Fruit. That seal is: Huaguo Mountain Land Seal.

At this time, Ma Mian took out a yellow talisman from his bosom and handed it to the land, saying: "This is the guide of this monkey ghost, and please fill in the household registration information in the land." ”

The land conjured up a pen and filled it in on the road guide.
