Chapter 13 Encountering the Hozen Monkey at Yuxia Mountain Gate in Aolai Kingdom
“So this is the Aolai Kingdom right here!” Emperor Zhang Qing said while looking at the map.
This Dongsheng Shenzhou is separated from Nanzhanbuzhou by a sea, and Nanzhanbuzhou is separated by a sea from Xiniuhezhou.
No wonder Patriarch Bodhi told the monkey in the original book that Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou are separated by a Nanzhanbu continent and two seas.
"Nanzhanbuzhou is not far from us." The little toad looked at the map and said.
"It's not far, it only takes two or three years." Emperor Zhang Qing put away the map.
Seeing the Aolai Kingdom close at hand, Emperor Zhang Qing had no intention of going to see the monkeys.
The cause and effect on that monkey is too big, so keep a distance from him. But there are many things in this world that cannot go according to your own wishes.
Zhang Qingdi carries the sword box on his back, and the little toad carries the iron fork.
The originally bent iron fork was repaired by Tongshan.
With the steel fork in hand, the little toad suddenly felt a lot more confident.
After staying in Aolai Country for several days, Emperor Zhang Qing would look for ships every day. Only every summer would ships go to Nanzhan Buzhou.
It is said that there are also some fairy boats that go to Nanzhan Buzhou all year round.
But those immortal sects are not open to ordinary people at all.
I won’t even take these two monsters...
The little toad wandered around the city with a bunch of money all day long. When he came back in the evening, he brought a friend with him.
When he saw his little friend for the first time, Zhang Qingdi smiled bitterly.
I saw the monkey with a hairy face, a thunderous mouth, ears checked, a broken nose, a despicable body, a thin face, and was less than four feet tall!
It's a bit taller than a little toad.
"Master, this is my new friend, the Monkey King!"
At this time, Sun Wukong didn't have a name yet.
The monkey looked at the picture of the Qing Emperor and said, "Toad, is this your master?
He doesn't look as powerful as you said, but rather like a weak scholar."< br>
“My master…”
Seeing Emperor Zhang Qing’s unkind expression, the little toad immediately shut up.
These two people have never known each other before. The monkey came to the world from Huaguo Mountain. Without money, he had to steal to survive.
But when he saw the little toad, he could tell at a glance that this guy was not a human being. Today's monkeys are able to see through Emperor Zhang Qing's illusions even before they practice cultivation.
He followed the little toad all the way, and they had a fight when he was discovered. The little toad should have lost. There is no shame in being unable to defeat this monkey.
The monkey did not embarrass the little toad, so the little toad shared some of the food with the monkey.
This monkey is the most grateful by nature. Even if he steals other people's food, he will remember the location of this house and think of repaying him in the future.
Seeing the little toad feeding him, he became friends with the little toad.
"Master, the monkey wants to go to the immortals and practice the art of immortality." The little toad said to Emperor Zhang Qing.
This little toad's mouth is very fast...
"Do you know the art of immortality?" the monkey asked expectantly.
Emperor Zhang Qing shook his head.
It is true that he will not live forever, but now that he has integrated the Xiangliu template, he will almost live as long as heaven and earth.
As long as he practices step by step, he can live forever.
"It seems that I still have to go to sea!" Monkey said firmly.
“We are going to visit Buzhou in the south, or together.” Emperor Zhang Qing said.
If you don’t take the initiative to look for the monkey, there is no need to hide when the monkey comes.
"Okay! Okay!" The monkey jumped up and down happily.
Originally, the monkey planned to make a bamboo raft and go to sea by himself, but now that Zhang Qingdi was there, he could follow them.
"Why do you have money for mortals?" the monkey asked curiously.
"In the past, there was a lot of gold and silver thrown by mortals into the river, and the master would ask me to collect it." The little toad explained to the monkey. "Some of them were snatched from other goblins."
"If there is a chance in the future, I will invite you to go to my Huaguo Mountain. You must try the fresh fruits on the mountain." The monkey said loyally. "Look at my water curtain hole."
It was the first time for the monkey to stay in an inn. He touched it here and looked there out of curiosity. Emperor Zhang Qing ran to the top of the city to vomit.
It seems that we are about to break through again...
It has only been a few days since we built the sixth floor.
There are also Qi Refiners in Aolai Country. The ferry that Emperor Zhang Qing inquired about before is controlled by the Qi Refiner Sect of Aolai Country.
It takes three or four months for a mortal ship to reach Nanzhanbuzhou, and it is also very dangerous.
The ferry from Yuxiamen can be reached in three days.
The head of the Yuxia Sect has already formed an elixir, and he is regarded as a powerful person in Aolai Country.
He was meditating, but suddenly he opened his eyes.
The aura of that day and the earth was visible to the naked eye as it headed outside the city.
When he was practicing as a pill-forming Qi practitioner, there was no such big movement.
I don’t know who this guy outside the city is.
He wanted to go and see what happened, but he was afraid of getting into trouble.
The last night that made him uneasy.
Zhang Qingdi returned to the inn refreshed and brought breakfast to the little toad and the monkey.
"I'll make sure again this morning. We can set off almost tomorrow." Zhang Qingdi said to them.
"Master, the monkey said that you can only go to sea in summer, and the wind direction is wrong in other seasons." The little toad asked in confusion.
"The north wind came early this year, maybe we got the monkey's advantage." Zhang Qingdi naturally knew the reason.
The monkey said with some embarrassment, "Master Qing, please don't laugh at me."
"Eat quickly." Emperor Zhang Qing's attitude towards the monkey will be particularly good.
After getting along with each other for the past few days, Zhang Qingdi had never had a harsh word for monkeys.
Not even a little toad gets this kind of treatment.
"Master Qing, why weren't you in the house last night?" The monkey grinned because the bun was burning.
“I’m going to practice.” Emperor Zhang Qing said.
"Since you can't live forever, why do you still need to practice?" Monkey asked puzzledly.
"I practice to live better in this world, not to live forever."
The monkey looked at him in confusion.
Emperor Zhang Qing said to him, "When you really start to practice, you will find that if you cannot be free, you will live forever and die!
In fact, it may not be a good thing."
"Freedom?" The monkey has been living freely between heaven and earth since birth.
If he has never lost it, he will not understand the meaning of freedom.
"Master Qing, how good are you?" The monkey blew a bun before swallowing it.
"How awesome is it?" Zhang Qingdi thought for a while and said, "It's not that awesome. I live very cautiously now."
The monkey went to play with the little toad after eating. Emperor Zhang Qing made an appointment with the boat owner and set off tomorrow.
When he returned to the inn, the monkey and the toad were not there.
They didn't come back after a long time. It was completely dark and Zhang Qingdi was ready to go out and look for them.
I saw a little toad running from a distance carrying a broken steel fork.
"The master is in trouble! The monkey has been captured!" the little toad said with a cry.
Emperor Zhang Qing sighed.
He looked at the little toad that was covered in injuries and asked, "Who captured it?"
"It's the Yuxia sect. What kind of spiritual monkey do they say the monkey is? They want him to be the spiritual beast that protects the mountain."
There is no such paragraph in Journey to the West!
