"Is the master's attitude unclear?" Monkey asked lightly.

   Youquanzi pursed her lips and did not answer.

   bowed his head, the monkey stared at the bamboo slips in his hands, gently rubbed the hemp rope with his thumb, and fell into a trance.

For a long time, he blinked his eyes, raised his head, took a deep breath, pursed his lips, watched the clouds in the sky through the gaps in the bamboo leaves above his head, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I heard that among the brothers, you You are the best at Yin Yang, I want to ask you something, may I ask?"

   "Tell me. If you know it, you can't stop talking."

"I have a friend who is a canary, a canary that has not yet transformed." The monkey paused slightly, his expression was calm, and he said slowly: "She died, and I want to resurrect her. Resurrection without land, what should I do? Also... Her whereabouts are unknown, is there any way to find her?"

  You Quanzi supported his knees with a long sigh, stood up slowly, and asked, "Is her name Que'er right?"

   "Hmm." The monkey lowered his head and continued to play with the bamboo slips in his hands.

"I also heard a little about this from Junior Brother Lingyun. He originally wanted me to persuade you, but I know that persuasion is useless. Everyone has a kind of persistence in their hearts, and that is your persistence. No one can be shaken except yourself. So, I gave you the volume of "The Officials of the Underworld" earlier, which can save you a little bit of trouble." Shaking his sleeves, You Quanzi slowly walked away. After two steps, he turned around and said, "But I still want to remind you that this matter is very involved, and I'm afraid it won't happen overnight. Have you thought about it?"

  Monkey blinked his eyes and said lightly, "I've thought about it."

   "If it is because of this, what about killing the gods?"

  Monkey clenched the bamboo slip in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Then take it."

   "What if...nine deaths?"

Raising his head, the breeze brushed the monkey's cheeks and fluttered the fluff. A gentle smile appeared on that face. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the sparkling clear pond in the distance. ... half a step, no retreat."

   When he said this, he remembered that when he was drifting at sea she said, "I'm not going!"

   remembered the time when she was trapped on the dead wood by the wolves, she said: "Didn't you say that you want to cultivate immortals and marry me? Do you want to go back on it? My mother pecks you to death!"

   Thinking of that cold night, she said, "Monkey, if you succeed in your cultivation, remember to take me back to Huaguo Mountain. I don't want to be too far away from you."

  The past was vividly remembered, and in an instant, his nose was slightly sore.

After taking two breaths, he lowered his head and covered his face. He muttered to himself, "I said I want to marry her. She must be resurrected. She traded her life for mine. Even if it takes my life. Change her back, and I'll change it too."

  Night has come quietly, bamboo leaves rustled in the wind, ripples appeared on the surface of the pool in the dim light of the stars, and the air was slightly cool.

  The monkey covered his face, bowed his body, and stayed silent.

   took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, Youquanzi asked in a low voice, "But, she hasn't transformed, yet you want to marry her... Is this love?"

"I don't care. When I was at my worst, she gave me everything she had, and all I could give her was an illusory promise, an illusory name, and a broken tombstone." His eyes gradually became wet, he choked slightly, his shoulders twitched: "So, this promise must be fulfilled, no matter how long, how hard, how tired, how difficult, even if I die, I must carry it. No matter who it is, even if it is Jade Emperor, it is the Supreme Laojun, or even the master, no matter who wants to stop me, I will fight with him desperately."

  This is the deepest secret hidden in the heart, never mentioned to anyone, a trivial wish, but a perpetual stalk in my heart, the softest part of that extremely stubborn heart, it hurts at the touch of a touch.

  The breeze blew past, raising the white hair on the temples.

   At this moment, Youquanzi smiled faintly, and the laughter gradually spread in the bamboo forest.

  Monkey raised his head and asked, "Don't you believe it?"

"No." There was a peaceful smile on You Quanzi's face: "I believe it. I heard your heart telling me that everything you said was true. I was just laughing at the gods and Buddhas who are full of gods and Buddhas without a heart, How can they understand the persistence of a little creature, how can they understand the meaning of this trivial wish. I was just thinking, when they know that someone has pierced the sky, it is to ask them for the soul of an ordinary canary What kind of expression will you look like when you are there, and will you be annoyed by the suffering you have brought to all beings. Hehehehe..."

   After laughing, he let out a long sigh. Youquanzi lowered his head and said softly, "I finally know why the master accepted you as his apprentice."

"why?"

Youquanzi just smiled faintly, reached out and patted the monkey's shoulder, and said, "I'm afraid I can't tell you now. You just need to know that the result that the master wants is not what you want. The master gave it, It may not be what you really need. But the master will never harm you."

   After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and slowly walked into the distance, when a sudden gust of wind blew through the bamboo forest.

   He laughed loudly: "You can live in peace in this secluded spring valley. When you have time, go back to see the master and his old man. The old man is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. So, he still can't achieve the "Tao of Heaven". Hahahaha..."

  The laughter echoed in the silent bamboo forest, and in a blink of an eye, Youquanzi disappeared along with the bamboo pavilion and guzheng.

   In front of him, there is nothing but emptiness.

  Monkey stared blankly at the scene in front of him, stunned.

   Yang Chan shouted angrily from outside the bamboo forest.

"He has my jade slip on him. It must be nearby and won't go far. Let's look for it. This dead monkey, whose injuries are not yet healed, runs around without saying a single hello. Is it fake?"

   lowered his head and glanced at the bamboo slip in his hand, the monkey seemed to remember something, and quickly shouted: "Senior brother! You haven't answered me what I asked!"

   "If you live here, there will be a chance to tell you later. Just rest assured and recuperate, no rush." ​​Youquanzi's voice echoed in the empty bamboo forest, but no one was there.

  Standing blankly, the monkey took a deep breath and lowered his head to take the bamboo slip into his arms.

   "Brother Monkey is there!" The voice of the little fox demon came from a distance.

   In the blink of an eye, Yang Chan's figure was already in front of him, with an angry expression on his face: "I have nothing to run around, are you sick?"

   "Hehe, hehe... I'm sorry, I just wanted to go out for a walk and get some air." The monkey grinned and smirked.

   In the distance, the brigade has also arrived, including Yuechao, Dajiao, Little Fox, Lu Liuguai, and Heizi.

  Yang Chan glanced around coldly, then glared at the monkey again and said, "Hurry back! If you're still injured and run around, I'll make a cage to lock you up. Hands!"

  Monkey obediently stretched out his hand, was dragged by Yang Chan, and walked back step by step.

   Along the way, Yang Chan babbled non-stop, the monkey had to smirk all the way, and the demons who came with them did not dare to make a sound.

  …

   In the cabin of the Tianhe Navy warship, Tian Heng supported a wooden table and looked down on a sheepskin map to find something.

   "Have you searched all over?"

   The Heavenly General next to him bowed his body and folded his hands and replied, "I have searched the Ziyun Bibo Lake for five hundred miles, but found nothing. Perhaps, the monkey demon was picked up by someone."

  Tianheng pointed to a point on the map and asked, "Where is it? Did you find it?"

   "This is... This is Quiet Spring Valley."

"Youquan Valley?" Tian Heng raised his head, rubbed his wrist, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said slowly: "Youquan Valley is the site of Xieyue Sanxingdong. This time, Xieyue Sanxingdong is also investigating. on the list..."

   "But General, that Youquanzi is..."

   Slowly paced a few steps, Tian Heng pointed his finger at the general of the day and said: "Send a special envoy to investigate the truth, maybe, that monkey demon is in the secluded spring valley!"
