[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

Xishan is in the fifth heaven. I haven't been there yet, so I don't know the way. Zitong is leading the way.

Walking on the three-foot-wide sky street, I met a fairy wearing a dark blue Taoist robe. He had a slightly dark complexion and a very stern face, holding a three-foot sword without a sheath in his hand.

The body of the sword is pitch black, and the material cannot be seen, but people can feel the chilling aura on the sword without getting close.

Behind this fellow Taoist were seven or eight little fairies armed with weapons, and the group hurriedly walked without knowing where they were going.

I am an immortal in the same sky, and I will see you when I look down and see you when I look up. Since I bumped into each other head-on today, I want to go up and say hello.Unexpectedly, this fellow Taoist didn't even look at me straight in the face, and walked over, and even showed a trace of displeasure on his face because my master and servant blocked his way.

"Which palace is this one from? What a grand occasion!" Ben Xianjun patted his sleeves and asked casually.

I am well aware that if a small fairy official is randomly picked out by the court today, his official position is ten feet higher than that of me, a nameless, broken "flower protector". I only ask this question out of curiosity in my heart. A hint of pantothenic acid or offense.

"Having self-knowledge" and "thin body and wide heart" are the only good qualities of this fairy, which are worthy of emulation and development by everyone.

After the group of people walked a little farther, Zitong stepped forward and grabbed the corner of this fairy's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this person is the celebrity in front of Emperor Donghua of Shaoyang Palace, so red that he is purple." !"

"Oh?" Ben Xianjun raised his eyebrows, "What kind of red method is that?"

Zitong said as he walked, "Have you met Lord Zhenyingling today? He is the official of Shaoyang Palace Siwen, in charge of the "Fengshen Bang", and the one who just walked over is called Xuanche Zhenjun. Ying Lingjun is on the same level as Siwu."

"Oh, amazing." Ben Xianjun said sincerely.

Zitong said: "It took Zhenying Lingjun 3000 years to reach his current status after his ascension. This Xuanche Zhenjun... just ascended in the last Conferred God Ceremony, and was immediately promoted by the emperor as soon as he ascended."

"Ah, is he ascended only one year earlier than me?" Ben Xianjun couldn't help sighing when he heard this, "It's maddening to compare people to others. He is really amazing."

"It's more than amazing." Zitong sighed.

I don't know if this fairy is thinking too much, I feel that Zitong's words have a deeper meaning, as if half of his mouth is in his mouth, he hesitates to speak.But he seemed to have no intention of continuing, so I had no choice but to stop asking.

Talking and walking all the way like this, it took about three sticks of incense to finally reach the foot of the West Mountain.

Ben Xianjun built a pergola with his hands, squinted his eyes and looked up.

The west mountain is steep and high, and you can't see the top at a glance, halfway up the mountain!The clouds and mist are transpiring, and the immortal air is curling up. It is indeed a good place for cultivating immortality.If you look closely, you can still see a house faintly behind the clouds.

Ben Xianjun was overjoyed, and thought: Is this the garden house given to me by the Jade Emperor?

"Zitong, let's go! Follow me to see the new house!" Ben Xianjun said, lifted his clothes and started to climb the mountain.

Although the mountain is a bit steep, fortunately there is a path paved with stones, which is not too difficult to climb. This fairy cast a little magic to travel thousands of miles a day, and arrived in front of the house in less than half a stick of incense.

Seeing the "garden house" in the mouth of the Jade Emperor, my heart warmed up, and my eyes also warmed up, and I almost burst into tears——

I don't even want to admit that I am beaten to death, maybe I was tricked.

Zitong caught up after a while, and was not surprised when he saw the expression on the face of this fairy who was about to cry, but said: "Your Majesty, do you really want to cry now?"

Rubbing the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, Ben Xianjun said, "Zitong, to tell you the truth, at this moment, from the bottom of my heart, I want to be grateful to the Jade Emperor... the old man, and be grateful to him!"

"..." Zitong was silent.He shook his head at the three thatched huts in front of him that didn't have any windows, only two load-bearing walls, and ventilated on all sides, then turned around and sighed at the two-acre wasteland that was overgrown with weeds, and said: "Your Majesty , you can’t blame the Jade Emperor. He didn’t lie to you, this place used to be a garden, and the place in front of you was really a bungalow.”

Ben Xianjun took a deep breath, silently said three times "I am thin and wide-hearted, I don't care", calmly said: "Once upon a time...does it mean thousands of years ago, or in ancient times?"

"Not a few thousand, but a few hundred." Zitong said, "Your Majesty, let's go into the house and talk."

There is a dilapidated gray wooden door in the hut. Because most of the walls have collapsed, the door is actually dispensable, because even if there is no door, I can still get in through the hole in the wall or the window majestically.

But I don’t do this kind of thing that loses my dignity and decency, so I reached out to push the door, but my fingertips just touched the animal head on the door, and the door fell down by itself .

Ben Xianjun was choked by the dust that was thrown up and almost breathed out. He coughed a few times and swept the dust with his sleeve before he could see the furnishings in the house clearly.

The room is divided into three rooms by a screen, with the lobby in the middle, and an ear room on the left and right, which can be used as bedrooms or study rooms.A pear wood square table, four benches, two beds, one large and one small, one bookcase, two wardrobes... Fortunately, except that the house is a bit old, the furniture in the house is complete and clean.

Going to the square table and sitting down, Ben Xianjun said: "Just say what you want to say. After you finish talking, the two of us will go and repair this house."

Zitong said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the True Monarch Xuan Che you met just now?"

Ben Xianjun smiled: "Even if I have a poor memory, I won't forget the person I just met in a blink of an eye. Why, this matter has something to do with him?"

"Yeah." Zitong nodded: "On the road just now, there were too many people, so Zitong didn't dare to say more. Now that you have asked, I will tell you a story, and you should listen to a story."

"Okay." Ben Xianjun pointed to the stool, "Sit down and talk."

Zitong sat down and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know that 500 years ago, the demon world invaded the Huangyi domain, one of the five regions of the Eastern Desolation. Bing, saved those mortals. It stands to reason...with such meritorious deeds, he should have ascended the moment his body was destroyed, but the strange thing is...his name is not on the list of gods."

"Oh?" Ben Xianjun said: "Is there another matter? This person...is that Zhenjun just now?"

"It's not True Monarch Xuanche." Zitong shook his head, "But it has something to do with him. That person is his senior brother, who seems to be called... Su, Su Changxiu. Seeing that he had no hope of ascension, Su Changxiu fell into a demon at a thought, gave up the right path and entered the demon way. He was almost dead, turned into a ghost again, used his soul to cultivate the demon, and finally became a demon king. 300 years ago, he led the demon soldiers to attack the heavenly court and overturned many palaces. This villa and the garden in front of it are the time was destroyed."

"Hey, another Monkey King who is causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace." This immortal gentleman couldn't help but sigh.

Zitong said: "His fate is much worse than that of the Great Sage. After the Great Sage was subdued by the Buddha, he was only suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, but Su Changxiu, the devil, is now driven into both shoulders by ecstasy nails, sealing all his mana. , imprisoned in the Infernal Hell to be burned day and night by the endless karmic fire, and will never be reborn forever!"

"Heh..." Ben Xianjun picked up a cup from the table and played with it in his hands, and said with a low smile, "How do you know, in fact, the 500 years he spent at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain...was no better than the Infernal Hell."

Zitong tilted his head: "Huh? What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

"It's nothing." Ben Xianjun sighed: "Oh——what a pity..."

"Yes, it's a pity. It takes a lot of fairy coins to rebuild a good house." Zitong looked around the house and said regretfully, "This place used to be magnificent, and it was all Su Changxiu..."

"I just said that you can be taught, why don't you get enlightened again." Ben Xianjun patted his head and said: "I mean Su Changxiu, it's a pity."

Zitong rubbed his head, with a blank expression on his face: "What is there to regret about him?"

Ben Xianjun said: "You know, even a few emperors can't guarantee that they can protect the people in a region with their own strength, but Su Changxiu can do it with a single sword repairer, which is enough to show that this person can take on great responsibilities no matter his cultivation base or heart Isn't it a pity that he has fallen into the devil's way because of a single thought?"

"It seems to be the same..." Zitong nodded hesitantly, and suddenly approached this fairy, and said mysteriously: "But my lord, I also heard from other people that Su Changxiu was originally named on the "Fengshen Bang", but I don't know why. Well, it turned into Ye Changqing in the end."

"Ye Changqing?"

"By the way, Ye Changqing is the common name of Xuanche Zhenjun." Zitong lowered his voice extremely low, "It is rumored that Ye Changqing colluded with the demons and sent the demon soldiers into the deserted area, but in the end...the one who saved people did not... The one who was able to ascend but fell into a demon, and the one who harmed others was favored by Emperor Donghua, and he was promoted repeatedly. In just 500 years, he has become the Supreme Immortal of Siwu in Shaoyang Palace. You just said that he is powerful, but he is more than powerful Ah, tsk tsk."

Hearing this, I finally understood why Zitong hesitated to speak on the road, and also knew what half of the words he had in his mouth were.I'm also a little curious about the reason why Su Changxiu failed to ascend to the ascension back then. After all, he couldn't be the same as this fairy, because he was also the "extra" one, right?However, heaven is no better than the mortal world. Some gossip can be discussed, but some things cannot be said indiscriminately.

"Cough." Ben Xianjun coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Zitong, you can just tell me what you said just now, and don't discuss it with others in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zitong grabbed the corner of his clothes and stuck out his tongue.He is still young, the main character is Yan Yan, but he looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old.

"Let's go, follow me to repair the house." Ben Xianjun said with a smile.I have always been tolerant of juniors, and I am often serious for no more than three seconds.Although Zitong's ascension time was 500 years earlier than this fairy, but if you count my 2000 years in the mortal world, this fairy will indeed make him a thousand years old, and he can barely call himself an elder.

My master and servant walked around the West Mountain and picked up a few bundles of hay.There are several big holes in the roof of the thatched hut, which may leak in rainy days and need to be mended.

Ben Xianjun jumped onto the roof with a bundle of hay. He had just patched up the hole on the east side, but the west side collapsed again. He went to repair the west side, but the north side collapsed again. After going back and forth for half an hour, he finally blocked the large and small holes. Small holes.

Ben Xianjun wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and smiled wryly: "Thinking back then, Nuwa Empress might not be as tired as I am."

"Your Majesty, let's leave the house as it is. I think the earthen wall is about to collapse, and it can't be repaired. Why don't you just push it away and go to the South China Sea to cut some bamboos in the purple bamboo forest of Master Guanyin?" The bamboo house is much more elegant than the earth embryo house, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is also comfortable to live in." Zitong looked up at the fairy and asked, "What do you think?"

"It seems to be the only way to do this, but I don't know if Master Guanyin is willing to give us a few bamboos." Ben Xianjun said, clapping the grass clippings on his hands and was about to jump back to the ground, but saw a boy in a green shirt standing on the ground. He ran down the mountain in a hurry, and seemed to be holding something in his hand.
