I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Gu Ming started to talk endlessly, telling the stories about the contention of various schools of thought to the princess, empress and sisters.

After that, they began to talk about poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the change of dynasties, and the customs, which made the sisters fascinated.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Alia has been fascinated by what she heard, and pesters Gu Ming to give him lectures every day.

Gu Ming sent some books he wrote, as well as the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism to Alia, and patiently explained them to her.

At the same time, the three princes are also urging the craftsmen to seize the time to forge weapons.

Unexpectedly, on the night of the third day, the weapons of Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting mysteriously disappeared.

Early in the morning, when the craftsman was about to start work, he found that the weapons used for reference were missing, and he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and yelled.

The three princes came rushing forward, stunned.

After regaining his senses, the eldest prince pointed at all the craftsmen and shouted angrily: "You are so brave, how dare you steal the weapons away!"

"Injustice!"

All the craftsmen immediately cried out.

"Catch them all!"

"Yes!"

The servants of the palace rushed up one after another and tied up all the craftsmen.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Drifting Monk also heard the news and came over.

"Let them go, they didn't steal it."

Although the golden cudgel was lost, Monkey King was very calm and ordered the three princes to release him.

"My lord, this"

The eldest prince looked anxious and wanted to explain, but Sun Wukong waved his hands and said: "How can they move those three weapons with their mere people? Let alone do it quietly."

"The words are correct, but who knows what method they used."

"No, it was the monster who took the weapon away, and Lao Sun can sense that there is still a trace of monster spirit remaining here."

"Huh? A monster?"

The three princes couldn't help exclaiming.

"It's possible"

At this time, the prince also walked over with a gloomy expression.

"My lord, is there a monster cave near here?"

Sun Wukong asked.

The prince nodded: "There is a mountain called Baotou Mountain to the west of the city, and there is a cave in that mountain called Hukou Cave.

It is said that there is a monster in that cave, with a human body and a lion's head, who calls himself the Yellow Lion King"

"It turns out that this is the case, Lao Sun will go and check first."

After finishing speaking, Monkey King flew away immediately.

When the three princes saw it, they were even more amazed, and secretly blushed for their own arrogance.

Although the weapon was lost, Monkey King did not blame the three princes, nor was he in a hurry.

Because he believed that he would be able to get it back.

After all, apart from him, not to mention these monsters, even the gods in the sky, there are not many who can use the golden cudgel.

It's not about the weight, but the magic weapon recognizes the owner. As long as he looks for it with his heart, he will definitely be able to sense where the golden cudgel is.

Not long after entering the mountain, Monkey King sensed a familiar ray of evil spirit, which was the ray of evil spirit left in the palace.

This meant that the demon who stole the weapon last night was nearby.

Chasing the demon spirit to look for it, Monkey King soon found two little demons.

So, it immediately turned into a small flying insect and followed behind, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

After a while, I finally heard the reason.

The one who stole the weapon was the Yellow Lion King, whose body was a golden lion.

Although this guy was in the deep mountains, he also faintly sensed the aura of the three weapons soaring into the sky, so he brought a few little monsters and quietly flew into the city to steal the weapons.

After successfully getting back the weapon, he was so happy that he sent two little demons to Jiuqu Panheng Cave of Zhujie Mountain to invite his ancestor Jiuling Yuansheng to celebrate with him.

The body of the Jiuling Yuansheng is a nine-headed lion, and his Taoism is very deep.

In order to find a backer, the golden lion is willing to call himself a descendant and call the nine-headed lion the ancestor.

After understanding the reason, Monkey King couldn't help but kill the two little monsters on the spot, and took off the opponent's waist card.

Then he went back and called Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk, first went to see the two little demons who had died, and then asked Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk to look like two little demons.

Monkey King turned into a bug and followed them to the Tiger's Mouth Cave.

Once back to the cave, Huang Shijing couldn't help but look puzzled: "You two came back so soon?"

"hmm"

Zhu Bajie answered absent-mindedly, but glanced not far away: there were golden cudgels, nine-tooth nail palladium, and crescent shovels.

Chapter 68 Subduing the Nine Lions

同一时间，变作小虫子的孙悟空念头一动，冲着金箍棒默念：“小、小、小、小……”金箍棒当即以肉眼可见的速度迅速变小。“大王，大王，这这这……这是怎么回事？”附近的小妖眼见金箍棒自动变小，不由大呼小叫起来。金毛狮心里一惊，急急跑上前大喝：“大、大、大……”只可惜，他只知其一，不知其二。如意金箍棒可大可小，那也要看是谁要喊。除了孙悟空之外，就算是观音、如来也没有办法随心随欲操控金箍棒。要说起这根金箍棒，来头可不小。最初是由太上老君精心所炼，并取名为如意金箍棒。后来，大禹治水之时借走，又改了一个名字为“天河定底神珍铁”。经历了无数年有岁月，如意金箍棒早已有了灵性，与先天灵宝相比丝毫不差。“大、大、大……”随着一阵“大”声，金箍棒还真的慢慢开始变大。一众小妖狂喜不已，纷纷拍马屁：“大王威武、大王威武！”威武你大爷！金毛狮一头冷汗，急急环顾四周。因为刚才这几声“大”并非出自于他的口。“哈哈哈，妖怪，在找你孙外公么？”孙悟空乐呵呵亮出身形来。而金箍棒，已变作寻常大小握在他的手中。“不好了，孙悟空来了……”随着一声大吼，洞府里一下子变得混乱起来。猪八戒与沙僧也趁机上前夺回自己的兵器，然后照准金毛狮攻上前去。这金毛狮修炼的时间并不算太长，实力一般般，也没有什么法宝之类，哪里是孙悟空师兄弟三人的对手？挨了几下之后便扔下一群小妖忍痛而逃。等到师兄弟三人追出去时，这家伙已然不见踪影。“想来，这妖精逃到竹节山九曲盘恒洞去找那九头狮去了。”“猴哥，这九头狮子到底什么来头？”猪八戒忍不住问。“这家伙自号九灵元圣，乃是太乙救苦天尊的坐骑九头狮。”“太乙救苦天尊？这么大来头？”猪八戒不由吃了一惊。太乙救苦天尊乃东极青华大帝，在道门中拥有崇高的地位，其所居的青华长乐界，被称为东方净土。传说中，青华大帝可引渡受苦亡魂往生。对于积德行善、晓道明玄而功德圆满之人，太乙救苦天尊“乘九狮之仙驭，散百宝之祥光”，接引其登天成仙。“难怪那九头狮如此嚣张……”沙僧也不由感叹了一声。“罢了，多一事不如少一事，既然兵器拿回来了，也不用去主动招惹那九头狮子，咱们回去吧。”孙悟空现在可不像以前那般行事无所顾忌了，眼见着距离目的地越来越近，没有必要去招惹一个强敌。当然，他不想惹事，不代表怕事。如若对方胆敢上门而来，他也不会手下留情。且说那金毛狮子逃走之后，果然来到了竹节山九曲盘恒洞。洞主正是那九头狮子，自号九灵元圣。这家伙其实也不算多坏，下凡之后倒也没有为祸世间。不过却有一个缺点：好为人师，而且相当护短。下界之后收下了黄狮、狻猊、抟象狮、白泽、伏狸、猱狮、雪狮七个弟子，被七个狮子精尊为祖翁，名下有不少徒子徒孙。金毛狮子来到洞府之后，便故意装作一副伤痕累累的样子，加洞添醋说了一通坏话，说孙悟空师兄弟如何如何联手欺负它。它抬出祖翁名号，结果反被羞辱了一通，说祖翁不过就是一个妖怪云云。一番煽风点火，可把九头狮子给惹怒了。另外几个狮子精也趁机上前谗言。“祖翁，那孙猴子要是欺负孩儿们倒也罢了，可他竟然羞辱祖翁，这个仇一定要报！”“对对对，祖翁，不如趁着这个机会抓了那唐僧，吃唐僧肉……”这才是几个家伙真正的目的。它们早就听闻唐僧去西天取经的消息，早就蠢蠢欲动了，只是苦无机会。这下子，机会总算送上门来了。凭它们几个，根本没有把握对付孙悟空，但有祖翁出马那就不一样了。没料，九头狮子一听吃唐僧肉却皱了皱眉：“尔等不得有这样的念头，且不说传说是真是假，就算是真，你们真的以为可以长生不老？唐僧轮回十世，被西天佛界寄予厚望。如若尔等真的吃了他，别说长生不老，其困果可不是你们能承受得起的，就算我也保不了你们。”这便是九头狮子的聪明之处，它不像别的妖王那样不顾一切，而是考虑的很远。再说，以它的修为也用不着吃唐僧肉。“这……”一听祖翁的提醒，金毛狮一行不由面面相觑。见状，九头狮一脸凝重道：“我再次提醒你们，不得打唐僧的主意。黄狮所受的委屈，我可以出面替你出气，但你们不得打唐僧的主意。否则，惹恼了西天佛界，后果不堪设想。”“是！”这么一说，一众狮子精不得不打消了吃唐僧肉的念头。于是乎，在九头狮子的带领下，七个狮子精带了数百小妖浩浩荡荡向着玉华府进发，准备与孙悟空师徒决一死战。一时间，乌云密布，妖气冲天。城中，顾鸣正在给阿莉雅讲解诗经，感应到妖气之后，不由脸色一变，下意识抬头看了看天空，再掐指算了算。“不好，有大量妖怪正在向玉华府袭来。”“啊？”阿莉雅当即花容惨变，一脸惊惶道：“先生，这……这可如何是好？”“不用担心，你赶紧去通知你姐姐和姐夫，让城中百姓躲起来，我去通知唐长老师徒作准备。”“好，多谢上仙。”阿莉雅急急转身而去。其实这时候，城里的百姓也隐隐感应到了不对。毕竟天象太奇怪了。得到阿雅雅的禀报之后，王爷当即吩咐人分头行动，有的去通知百姓转移到安全的地方，有的则去调兵准备迎战。另一边，顾鸣找到了唐僧师徒一行。“唐长老，想来是那金毛狮子搬救兵来了……”孙悟空不由怒道：“可恨，老孙本不想与那九头狮发生冲突，既然它不长眼找上门来，老孙也只能大开杀戒了。”“悟空，切切不可大意，那九头狮道行颇深，精通九头擒拿之术，九口一出，必然擒敌，所以，我们必须要防备他这一招。”经过一番商议之后，顾鸣等人飞出城外准备迎战。城内，王爷也安排了数百弓箭手，备下桐油、火把等物准备对付入侵的妖怪。普通火焰与箭支用来对付大妖肯定起不到作用，但用来对付小妖多少还是会有效果的。不久后，九头狮子率众浩浩荡荡来到了城外。孙悟空站在云端大喝：“九头怪，俺老孙与你井水不犯河水，你为何上门挑事？”一听九头怪这样的称呼，九头狮子的脸色不由变得更加阴沉。对外，它可是号称九灵元圣，却被孙悟空骂作九头怪，怎能不怒？于是乎，也反唇相讥道：“你也不过就是个猴精，有什么了不起的？”孙悟空大怒，当即便要下去迎战。“悟空，不要上当！”顾鸣及时拉住了孙悟空。“孩儿们，上！”九头狮子一挥手，下达了进攻命令。这时，孙悟空按计划拔下了一把猴毛，化作数百只猴子冲向九头狮子。这一招正是顾鸣想出来的，专门用于克制九头狮子的九头擒拿之术。九头擒拿之术乃是九头狮的看家本领，只要一张口便能擒住对手。不过此招却有一个缺点，那就是一次只能擒一个，九个头，一共只能擒下九个。所以顾鸣针对这一招，给孙悟空支了一招，让他化出数百分身去扰乱九头狮子……果然，这一招顿让九头狮子陷入苦战。孙悟空化出的分身与他本体几乎一模一样，虽然实力远不如他本身，但数量多了战斗力还是有点吓人的……猪八戒、沙僧则分头去围堵小妖。“西北望，射天狼！”顾鸣人在半空中，幻出了一把宝雕弓开始攻击九头狮。九头狮子的九头擒拿之术是有距离限制的，顾鸣所立的位置明显在攻击范围之外，但用弓箭的方式，攻击距离却超远。以他目前的实力，就算百里开外，也能精准地命中对手。当然，也得看是什么样的对手。毕竟，这九头狮子可不是一般的妖王。当初孙悟空自封齐天大圣的时候，还有牛魔王、蛟魔王等等并称妖王七大圣。但，那也只是一时兴起。除了孙悟空一直坚持齐天大圣的称呼，并获得了广泛的认可，另外六圣的名头早已名存实亡。就算牛魔王也从来不提自己“平天大圣”的名头。那是因为他们有自知之明，同时也怕遭到天庭的清算。可是九头狮子却很拽，不仅给自己封圣，还收了不少徒子徒孙。这是因为它实力的确够强悍，二来，背景也相当深厚。毕竟它的主人乃是堂堂天尊，又岂是一般人惹得起的？顾鸣一箭射去，被那九头狮子一声狮吼化解。但，接下来顾鸣却一箭接一接，仿佛流星一般……毕竟，他不需要箭支，完全是由自己的真气所凝成的箭矢。只要真气不枯，箭支便可源源不断。如此一来，那九头狮子可就有点难以应付了，再加上还有孙悟空的几百个分身围着它打，更是令它犹如陷入泥潭之中。眼见事态不对，九头狮彻底暴怒了，身形猛地一跃，飞出了包围圈，继而向着顾鸣闪电般飞过来。它的目标很明显，想要先解决顾鸣。如若让顾鸣与这家伙硬碰硬的话，恐怕还真有点难，毕竟双方的修为还是有着不小的差距。但，孙悟空早就在暗中寻找机会，一见九头狮分头，当即闪现半空，重重一棍砸下……九头狮猝不及防，中间一个狮头重重挨了一棍，痛得发出一声震天的狮吼，身形也猛地下沉。“妖精，再吃俺老孙一棒！”孙悟空再次抡起金箍棒砸了下去。“砰~”这一棒，砸到了九头狮背上。趁着这个机会，顾鸣连发数箭，箭箭命中，令天空中毛血飞溅，狮吼声响彻云宵。听到九头狮的惨叫，另外七个小狮子精不由得士气大失，逃心顿生。结果，被猪八戒与沙僧找到机会，一通狂攻，连续杀掉了包括黄狮在内的四个狮子精。平日里，大多都是孙悟空在出风头，除妖，完全掩盖了猪八戒与沙僧的光芒。再加上一些不可描述的原因，这对师兄弟经常光吃饭不干活，任由妖精抓走……故而，也就让这些小狮子精以为这对师兄弟好欺负。结果这一次动手方才发现……它们真的大错而特错了。合七狮之力，也完全不是猪八戒二人的对手。另一边，九头狮眼见自己的孩儿一下死了四个，不由气得吐血，神情也变得更加狂暴起来。不过，它心里也知道，今日里恐怕是讨不了好了。毕竟，面对孙悟空与顾鸣的联手攻击，它是真的没有办法攻破。正当这家伙准备拼命之际，天空中突然传来一声怒喝：“孽障休得放肆！”这声音听起来还显得有些稚嫩，偏偏，却吓得九头狮子打了一个哆嗦，乖乖伏到地面不停地磕头求绕。孙悟空抬头看去，方才发现是东极青华大帝亲临。大帝身边还站着一个童子，看模样与民间十来岁的孩童差不多，刚才的怒喝就是他发出来的。其实，这个孩童看着小，其实已经上千岁了，乃是平日里专门喂养与看护九头狮的童子。也因此，九头狮才会如此惧怕。这便是一物降一物。“天尊，你来的正好……”孙悟空又来劲了，收了分身窜上天空跑去告状去了。东极青华大帝倒也不护短，冲着孙悟空道了一声歉意，然后又解释道：“大圣，实在是不好意思，本尊与人下棋，遗忘了时日。这童子看丢了九头狮，又不敢前来禀报，直到本尊感应到九头狮有一劫，这才掐指一算，方知知晓了这孽畜的去处……”“在下顾鸣，见过天尊！”顾鸣上前恭恭敬敬施了一礼。毕竟，天尊级别的人大神可不多，既然见了面，自然不能失了礼数。“呵呵，本尊听说过你，不错，不错，后生可畏！”东极青华大帝冲着顾鸣微微而笑。“天尊言重，在下只是一介后学，需要学习的地方还有很多。”“本尊相信终有一日，小友定会超凡入圣……”“承蒙天尊吉言！”顾鸣微笑着拱手相谢。“好了，本尊这便带这孽畜回去好生管教……”说到这里，东极青华大帝侧头冲着那童子厉声道：“以后须用心看守，再出差错必然重罚！”“是，天尊，弟子再也不敢偷懒了。”童子赶紧点头应声。要说这九头狮本也没酿成什么大祸，顾鸣、孙悟空自然不会多说什么。地面上，那些小妖已经死得七七八八，没死的也已经惊惶而逃，不知所踪。这一场反攻战，可谓是雷声大，雨点小，只有少数几只小妖冲进城内，结果却被乱箭射死。玉华府的一场危机就此安然渡过，上至王爷，下至百姓自然是感激不尽……

Chapter 69 Senior brother and master were captured by monsters again...

Under the repeated persuasion of the prince and concubine to stay, Tang Seng decided to stay for half a month, taking turns to give lectures in several temples in the city.

The common people rushed to tell each other, wanting to hear the teachings of the holy monk with their own ears.

At the same time, some people who are interested in oriental culture came to see Gu Ming, hoping to have more exchanges.

This is exactly what Gu Ming wished for.

With the great assistance of the prince, Gu Ming's several books, poetry collections, and some Confucian classics will be printed and distributed in large quantities, so that the people of Yuhua Mansion can also have the opportunity to see the authentic oriental culture.

During this period, Gu Ming accepted seven or eight disciples and taught him Confucian culture and his original Confucian cultivation method.

It stands to reason that Aaliyah should also be a teacher.

After all, she was the first to learn from Gu Ming, and she is talented and smart, and she learns quickly.

But the strange thing is that although she always called Gu Ming Mr., she never brought up the matter of apprenticeship.

In this regard, Gu Ming is also aware of it.

From Aaliyah's eyes from time to time, he had vaguely guessed what was on the girl's mind.

However, Gu Ming couldn't accept it.

It's not that he doesn't like Alia, on the contrary, he likes Alia very much.

Aaliyah is beautiful, generous, cheerful, smart, understanding, and has a strong exotic style.

But liking doesn't mean love.

Besides, this is not Gu Ming's main world, maybe he will leave soon and continue to explore new worlds.

After Tang Seng and his disciples left, Gu Ming continued to stay in Yuhua Mansion for nearly a month before leaving.

The night before leaving, Alia quietly came to Gu Ming's room.

"Alia, you..."

Gu Ming smiled and stood up to meet him, just about to ask a question.

Unexpectedly, Alia flew over like a butterfly, and threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes.

"Uh……"

Gu Ming froze.

"Aaliyah, you... what's wrong with you?"

In the end, Aaliyah didn't speak, and offered her lips...

She is tall, almost the same as Gu Ming, and she doesn't need to stand on tiptoe, so she is easily matched.

Of course, this is also the reason why Gu Ming did not dodge.

Men don't suffer from this kind of thing, so just treat it as a goodbye kiss.

I don't know how long it took before Aaliyah reluctantly left, blushing and said: "Sir, I'm sorry, I..."

Gu Ming sighed: "I understand your feelings, but... you and I met by chance, and I will leave tomorrow morning."

"No, this is not a chance encounter, this is fate."

Aliya said with a stubborn face.

"Alia..."

"Sir, listen to me first, I know that sir is not a mortal, Alia is not good enough for you..."

"Don't say that, feelings don't distinguish between status and status."

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. Actually... Alia doesn't have too many extravagant expectations. She just wants... just wants... to be able to spend one night with her husband, so that she will have no regrets in this life..."

Although Tianzhu women have always been generous, Aaliyah was still a little shy when talking about this.

"Alia, this... I'm afraid it's not good, you have to marry in the future, don't entrust yourself to a passing man."

"No, in Aaliyah's life, Mr. is not a passerby..."

"But Aaliyah, this may cause you more pain in the future."

"No, I've thought about it a long time ago, so... that's why I mustered up the courage to come to Mr.

Because I know that if I don't come again, maybe I will regret it for the rest of my life. "

"But……"

"Sir, I know the customs of your Tang Dynasty, women always pay attention to their own reputation.

But in our Yuhua Mansion, there is nothing wrong with a woman giving her first marriage to the man she likes, no one will laugh at it..."

Having said that, Aaliyah raised her hand and untied it, and her clothes fell to the ground...

"Sir, I want Aaliyah..."

……

The next morning, Gu Ming left Yuhua Mansion.

The prince, concubine, and many people in the city came to see them off.

Alia stood in front of the crowd, waved goodbye to Gu Ming reluctantly like a little wife.

"Okay, everyone doesn't need to send it away, let's go back!"

Gu Ming waved his hand, and his body slowly rose into the air.

After that, he waved at Aaliyah alone and said, "Aaliyah, remember what I said, practice hard, maybe I will come back one day."

"Mmmmm~"

Aaliyah nodded desperately with tears in her eyes.

After leaving Yuhua Mansion, Gu Ming only flew for half a day before catching up with Tang Seng and his party.

At this time, Tang Seng and his disciples had already entered the boundary of Jinping Mansion.

Along the way, people come and go, and there is a bustling scene.

Seeing the state of the people living and working in peace, Tang Seng was quite relieved and couldn't help but said: "It seems that this place is quite close to the Daleiyin Temple, and there are no monsters, so the people's life is considered to be peaceful. "

"Yeah, this journey...is really not easy."

Monkey King is not without emotion.
