Chapter 16 See the Sparrow

The gibbon monkey didn't mention to the Monkey King about his defeat to the Holy Lord of Kuzhen, and Ling Yue could probably think of the reason. A proud person www.biquge.info most of them are secretive about their failures, not to mention that the gibbon seems to have some disdain for the legitimacy of the Monkey King, and in this case, he is even less likely to turn to the Monkey King for help. What if the Monkey King wins the battle to avenge himself? Isn't this a disguised admission that he is inferior to the Monkey King, which he cannot accept.

Huaguo Mountain was calm for two days, in order to meet the heavenly soldiers and generals who may come at any time, the entire Huaguo Mountain pillowed and waited, and the monkey soldiers and monkey generals and the demon king of the seventy-two caves lined up outside the water curtain cave, which can be described as majestic and murderous. The monkey king's cronies are even more swords and guns, knives and sticks, and they can't stop roaring and jumping.

On the third day, the Heavenly Soldiers did not wait, but the Dove of Peace visited again.

After hearing the little monkey's report, the Monkey King said happily: "It's a good time! It's a good time! The last time I was invited to the upper realm, although I was only appointed as Bi Ma Wen, it was also regarded as a trip to heaven. This time again, there will be a good thing!" immediately ordered all the leaders to open their spirits and set up a line to greet them.

The Monkey King put on his clothes, hurried out of the cave door, and bowed down, "Old Star, please come in, forgive me for the crime of being unwelcome!"

Ling Yue couldn't figure out how this Monkey King could be so polite to Tai Bai Xing, and he hadn't seen him so respectful in front of the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall that day.

Jin Xing returned the salute, entered the Water Curtain Cave with a smile on his face, stood facing south and said: "Great Sage, last time, because the Great Sage was a small official, he left the Imperial Horse Prison, and the officials in the prison played the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor said: 'All those who confer officials are respected by humility, why is it too small?' so he ordered Li Tianwang to lead Nezha to the lower realm to fight. The two of them were defeated by the Great Sage's supernatural powers, and returned to the sky and said: "The Great Sage set up a banner and wanted to be the "Monkey King". 'The generals still want to ask for battle, it is the old man who overrides the opinions of the people, and he plays for the great sage who risked his death, and asks the king to grant it. The Jade Emperor is allowed to play, so please come. ”

Wukong was overjoyed by the great sage on the left and the great sage on the right, and said with a smile: "I was industrious before, and now I am loved, thank you! Thank you! But I don't know if God can have the official title of 'Monkey King'?"

Jin Xing said: "The old man will dare to come with this title, and if not, the old man will not dare to come." ”

Wukong was even more happy, and wanted to set up a banquet to entertain Venus, but Venus insisted on refusing, so the two drove the auspicious clouds to the Nantian Gate again.

In the battle of Huaguo Mountain, the Monkey King became famous in the heavenly court, and the heavenly soldiers and generals outside the Nantian Gate did not embarrass the Monkey King like last time, and they all greeted each other. The Monkey King entered the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and when he saw the Jade Emperor, he still did not bow down.

The Jade Emperor is still compassionate and compassionate, and he can't see the real joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and said, "Then Sun Wukong is here." Today, I declare you to be a 'Monkey King', your official character is extreme, and you can't do anything in the future. ”

The Monkey Dynasty sang a song and said thank you.

Although many of the civil and military generals in the court were dissatisfied this time, they did not make as much noise as last time.

The Jade Emperor immediately ordered the work officials, Zhang and Lu two classes, on the right side of Pan Taoyuan, to set up a Monkey King Mansion, and there were two divisions in the house: a quiet division, a Ning Shen Division. Both divisions have immortal officials. He also sent Wukong to take office, and gave him two bottles of imperial wine and ten golden flowers, so that he could rest assured and make up his mind, and don't do anything wrong.

The Monkey King was satisfied, and immediately went to the Monkey King Mansion with the Five Dipper Star Monarchs, opened the imperial wine, and feasted on the star officials and the immortals.

After that, the Monkey King was satisfied, and he was happy all day long, and spent his days in the heavenly palace without worry. The only thing that didn't go well was that the aroma of peaches in the peach orchard came with the wind from time to time, which really made him salivate and itch.

However, when the new official of the Monkey King took office, he was barely able to restrain himself.

"The previous time it was the heart ape and the horse, and this time it is the monkey peach, such an obvious temptation crime, what does the Jade Emperor think?" Ling Yue felt that a large net had been spread out in front of him, so he waited for the Monkey King to jump in by himself.

Ling Yue felt that it was necessary for him to communicate with the Monkey King.

On this day, the Monkey King drank some wine and ate some melons and fruits, but for some reason, he felt bland. The peach fragrance of the peach orchard came at the right time, making the greedy desire in the eyes of the monkey king about to erupt.

Ling Yue jumped out, turned into an outsider, and posed: "King, I don't know if you are interested in going fishing in the Tianhe?"

The Monkey King has rarely communicated with Ling Yue for several days, and today he was quite surprised to see Ling Yue jumping by himself: "Fishing is too boring, don't go." ”

Ling Yue thought for a while, and then said, "There are a lot of fairy birds and spirit magpies in this Great Sage Mansion, why don't I accompany the Great Sage to catch birds and play?"

The Monkey King shook his head again and said, "These birds are too slow, I want to catch them, just come here!"

Ling Yue originally wanted to imitate Zou Ji's story of satirizing the King of Qi's admonition, and tell the Monkey King a story and reason through fishing and catching birds, so that the Monkey King would realize his dangerous situation and think about how to deal with it, but he didn't expect that the dead monkey would not enter the oil and salt.

The monkey said: "It's a pity that you are just a machine spirit, otherwise you can drink with me?" This great holy mansion is good, but it is too quiet. Anyway, I travel in the mountains and rivers and visit all kinds of gods and goddesses. ”

Seeing that the monkey was leaving, Ling Yue suddenly had an idea and said, "King, why don't we compete?"

As soon as he heard about the competition, the monkey immediately became interested. "Than what?"

"It's more than catching birds, who catches more birds in an hour?"

The Monkey King shook his head: "An hour is too long, and I still want to visit the three elders of Fu Lu Shou?"

"That's a quarter of an hour. But first of all, let's say okay, we're in our respective areas, you're in the front yard, I'm in the backyard, and we can't disturb each other. ”

The Monkey King shouted, "Good!"

Ling Yue saw that the Monkey King was about to make a move, so he hurriedly said, "Great King, slow down!"

The Monkey King said impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, let me prepare a little bit, and it will be a moment. Seeing that the Monkey King had allowed it, Ling Yue hurriedly went to the granary, took out a large pile of fresh grain, and used the transformation technique outside the body to conjure several baskets.

After the start of the game, the figure of the monkey king appeared in all corners of the front yard, chasing birds.

Ling Yue sowed grain in the open area of the backyard, set up a basket, and waited for the greedy birds to throw themselves into the net.

The movement of the Monkey King was too great, and although he caught a lot of birds, he scared the rest away. The backyard was quiet, and there was a fairy valley to eat, so the birds and birds all went to the backyard.

Seeing that the birds and finches entered the range of the basket, Ling Yue put down the basket and covered dozens of them at once.

A quarter of an hour later, the results were announced, and Ling Yue defeated the Monkey King 80-13.

The Monkey King refused to admit defeat and said, "You shouldn't limit the area, the birds in the front yard are scared away, and you will naturally benefit in the backyard." Besides, you didn't explain the rules clearly, I thought it was all with both hands, who knew you actually used tools. ”

Ling Yue didn't intend to entangle with the Monkey King in this matter, and persuaded: "The king loses, not because of his ability, but because of his strategy. I first set up the basket, and then sprinkle grain in the basket, the birds love to eat grain, naturally they can't resist the temptation, run to the range of the basket, and then I put down the basket and catch the birds, without too much energy. This is called seeing the sparrow and throwing oneself into the net. ”

The Monkey King's competitive temperament was hooked, and he insisted: "You are using external forces, playing tricks, and playing unfair games." I'm going to have another game, and I'm going to win you!"

Ling Yue is in his chest, and he should accept it. The game is still divided into front and back yards.

After Ling Yue set a trap this time, there were many fewer birds and birds that threw themselves into the net, but they could still catch twenty or thirty.

After a quarter of an hour had passed, the Monkey King flew over with fifty or sixty birds, laughing as he flew.

Ling Yue was stunned, every time the Monkey King took an extra bird, he felt that his face was hit more. However, he refused to admit defeat, and asked with a trace of luck: "King, you are so smart, you have learned the trick of seeing Que Zhang Luo so quickly." ”

The Monkey King shook his head: "This trick is too troublesome, how can this king use it? I just plucked a handful of hairs and turned into a flock of eagles, and caught all these birds and birds." Haha!" the more the Monkey King thought about it, the more smug he became, and laughed.

If Ling Yue could find a mirror, if he had a face, he would definitely find that there were countless black lines on his head. I couldn't help but ask myself depressedly: Why is it so easy for Zou Ji to sarcastically accept the advice of King Qi, but it has become so difficult for him to get here.

Do you want to give up?

Of course not, giving up is an act of the weak.

"King!" Ling Yue decided to get down to business: "I just want to tell you that we are like birds and sparrows now, this heavenly court is a net, and the Tianma last time and the Pan Taoyuan this time are the grains that lure us into the net." ”

It's a pity that the Monkey King was still immersed in the joy of winning the game, and he didn't take Ling Yue's persuasion seriously at all, but after glancing at the words that Ling Yue had worked so hard to code, he said: "Don't worry about the sky, even if the sky falls, this king can withstand it!"

Ling Yue didn't have time to make a second word of persuasion, and the Monkey King flew away with a somersault and traveled all over the world.

Ling Yue was extremely depressed, thinking to himself, reading history, he often felt that it was easy for those officials to persuade people, but when it was his turn to do it, why was it so difficult?

The Monkey King has a lively temperament, is self-cooked, and can make friends with anyone. Over time, this friend has really made a lot. Ling Yue had seen that when he met the Three Qings, he was called Lao Tzu, and when he met the Four Emperors, he said His Majesty, as for the Nine Yao Stars, the Five Generals of the Five Directions, the Twenty-Eight Residences, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Yuanchen, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Astrology of the Whole World, and the Gods of the Hehan Dynasty, they were all directly commensurate with brothers.

What's even more strange is that in addition to the three Qings, the four emperors and below all look at the Monkey King differently and discuss each other as equals.

This reminded Ling Yue of the Water Margin, Liangshan repeatedly defeated the imperial army, and finally had the qualifications to recruit An. But these heroes who were recruited were still discriminated against by the courtiers, like the Monkey King, not only was no one discriminated against, but they were all respectful.

Following the Monkey King around also gave Ling Yue a new understanding of Heavenly Court, although it was not profound, it was still much more true and accurate than what appeared in the books.

In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor was originally respected, but the strange thing was that the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Treasure Hall was only in the Nine Heavens, and as for the Thirty-Three Heavens, the highest level, it was inhabited by the Dao Ancestors. On weekdays, the court meeting is held, and Sanqing never participates. If there is any major event, the Jade Emperor and Sanqing meet, and Sanqing is just a gift, and the Jade Emperor will return the gift very solemnly.
