The Monkey King

Chapter 499: son-in-law

  On the Gobi, where there are many strange rocks, a steep mountain stands alone, and the ravines and ravines under the mountain are like dead skin covering the vast land.

   A gust of wind blew past, stirring up the yellow sand in the sky.

   In the hazy, a golden light descended from the sky and landed on the top of the mountain, turning into a monk.

This monk was wearing a beige linen robe, lined with white robes, and held a golden staff. He was tall and handsome, with a faint golden light all over his body. people.

   After a while, hundreds of little monsters in ragged clothes appeared between the rocks and watched from afar. The monk ignored him, but still stood quietly on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, turning his back to the monsters, as if waiting for something.

   Soon, a short stature, wearing golden armor, the yellow-haired ermine rattled away the demons and walked out. Seeing the monk on the top of the mountain, he took a deep breath, bowed his body and ran forward around the strange rocks, and when he reached the place behind the monk, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Disciple, see Venerable Lingji! "

   This Lingji Buddha smiled lightly, turned his face and glanced at the yellow-haired marten and said, "After so long, you still call yourself a 'disciple'?"

  The yellow-haired ermine smiled awkwardly: "Well, when I was young, I was a Buddhist disciple, it depends on whether you recognize it, Venerable."

  Lingji Buddha raised his head slightly and smiled and said: "It's not difficult to recognize, return the oil you stole, poor monk, recognize you as a disciple."

"This..." The yellow-haired ermine rattle hesitated and said with a flattering smile: "Venerable Lingji. It's not that you don't know this, how can you pay it back after eating all the oil? However, the little one can only achieve today's cultivation after eating the oil. , if you don’t dislike it. Accepting the little one to serve as the doorman of the Daleiyin Temple, wouldn’t the lost oil be returned again? In this way, the little one can continue to practice Buddhism, wouldn’t it? Best of both worlds?"

   "Noisy."

   Being so lightly hummed by Lingjifo, the yellow-haired marten was so frightened that he hurriedly leaned down and did not dare to speak any more.

   Sweat dripped from his uneven forehead.

   against the wind. Lingji Buddha looked at the floating clouds in the sky and said leisurely: "Dangtang Daleiyin Temple. Where do you use a little demon like you to handle the door? Back then, the poor monk let you live, but he didn't want to get **** and made a mistake in his practice."

   "Yes, what Venerable Lingji said is." The yellow-haired ermine rat kowtowed quickly: "Little thanks to Venerable Lingji for not killing him."

   turned around slowly, Lingjifo looked down at the yellow-haired marten spirit who was kneeling on the ground, took a deep breath and said, "I heard that you now have a new name. It is called the Great Sage of the Yellow Wind?"

"This..." The yellow-haired ermine rat stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, and said tremblingly, "Let the Venerable Lingji laugh, 'The Great Sage of Huangfeng' is just what I said to my little servants. If you encounter Dao Shangping A monster of the highest level is just called the Yellow Wind Monster. How can such a dirty name enter the ears of Venerable Lingji?"

   "Whether it's okay, after that, the poor monk will call you Huang Feng?"

   "Thank you Venerable for giving your name, thank you Venerable for giving your name!" Huang Fengguai hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, and said loudly, "From now on, the little one's name will be Huang Feng!"

   Looking at the yellow wind monster, Lingjifu took a deep breath and walked to him step by step.

  The Yellow Wind Monster raised his head slightly, looked at Lingjifo's boots and asked cautiously, "Is there something your venerable ordered to do?"

   "It's really something." Lingji Buddha said leisurely: "If you do it, it will be a great achievement, and the matter of stealing the oil will also be a low deed. It will be written off. How about it?"

   Huang Fengguai hurriedly kowtowed: "The little one must do his best and never let down the high expectations of His Holiness!"

   "So good." Slowly raising his head, Lingji Buddha looked east.

  …

  At dusk, Xuanzang and his party finally arrived at Gaolaozhuang along the long mountain road.

   This is a village in a remote area. Although it is a village, it also has hundreds of earthen houses. According to a rough estimate, there should be more than 100 households.

   Outside the village is a vast field of hills and fields. The planted wheat has just been harvested, and the wheat straws stacked in the field are piled up in piles. It seems that this year should be a bumper harvest.

  The strange thing is that when you step into the village, you can't see half a person, and you can't see the residents of the village lighting up the lights.

   "Isn't this place deserted?" Xiao Bailong asked in a low voice.

The monkey next to    replied leisurely: "It's impossible to be abandoned. Look at this house, and the farmland just now, obviously someone took care of it, how can it be abandoned?"

   "What's the matter? There's not a single person. I can't even borrow a place to stay. It seems that I'm going to sleep in the wilderness again tonight."

   "Will you die if you live in the wilderness?"

   "That's right, the Great Sage is right, look at my mouth." After the monkey said this, Xiao Bailong quickly took it away and slapped himself in the face.

   In the distance, they saw a gray-haired old man sitting crookedly in front of his house.

  Monkey turned his face to Xuanzang and said, "I'll go and ask."

   Xuanzang nodded silently.

   Walking towards the old man step by step, the monkey flickered and turned into a young man.

   The black bear spirit behind him and Lu Liuguai glanced at each other, and they also flickered. The black bear spirit turned into a strong bearded man, and Lu Liuguai turned into a hunchbacked old man.

   "Old man, may I ask, where have all the people in this village gone?"

  The old man was shocked: "Where have all the people in the village gone?"

   squinted and stared at the monkey for a while, until he could see the monkey clearly, the old man said in a hoarse voice, "Young man, are you a foreigner? I haven't seen you before."

   "We are from the East, we are going to the west, passing by this place, wanting to borrow a place to stay, and seeing the empty place in the village, so just ask."

"The person who took the scriptures?" The old man touched his forehead with his wrinkled hands and thought for a long time, but he didn't seem to understand who the scriptures were, so he only said softly: "Tomorrow, Gao Taigong will accept his son-in-law, and everyone in the village will help prepare, if not The old man has trouble with his legs and feet, so he's probably going too. If you want to stay overnight, why don't you go to Mrs. Gao's house. He has a lot of rooms. Let's talk about it. Tomorrow's son-in-law, Mrs. Gao also wants to have more people and be more lively. "

   said, the old man stroked his long beard and laughed.

   Only now have a son-in-law? This is a little different from what was said. The monkey couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

   After thinking about it, he still bowed his hands to the old man respectfully and said, "Thank you for the old man."

   Say it. Turning around and walking back step by step, while the old man was not paying attention, he flew into the sky.

  Looking down from the sky, not far from the village, there is really a small mountain village, and the lights are brightly lit at this time. Lots of fun.

   fell back to the crowd. The monkey whispered: "Everyone has gone to the villa over there. The local rich man has a son-in-law and is having a wedding. Let's go, let's go to sleep."

   "Going to the villa to stay overnight?" Xuanzang couldn't help but hesitate.

"Is it not good?"

Xuanzang took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter to the poor monk. Anyway, I'm used to sleeping in the wilderness and mountains, and I don't necessarily need a tile to cover my head. Besides, people are busy with their weddings, so if we disturb them, I'm afraid we won't Appropriate."

   turned his face sideways, Xuanzang asked the rest of the crowd, "What do you think?"

   "I...don't really like to stay with a bunch of humans." Xiao Bailong whispered.

   "Everything is obeyed by the Great Sage." Lu Liuguai cupped his hands.

   After saying this, the black bear spirit on the side also quickly expressed his position: "Everything is obeyed by the Great Sage."

  Monkey grabbed the reins from the little white dragon in one fell swoop, and led the horse to the direction of the villa, saying, "I will spend the night at the villa tonight."

   "Why is this?" Xuanzang asked softly.

   "Remember Yingshoujian fishing for dragons?" the monkey asked rhetorically.

   Xuanzang frowned and pondered for a while, and asked, "Could it be that there is someone here who is bound to meet?"

   "Yes. It's quite important." The monkey sighed and said, "Actually, I can't tell what is important to him, but if it doesn't exist, I'm afraid of making mistakes. Anyway, I think it's better to bring it."

   At this moment, the taste in the monkey's heart is really indescribably complicated.

  Thinking back then, he did everything possible to jump out, but he never imagined that one day he would do everything possible to get inside.

   "It's really thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi."

   Xuanzang stopped asking. The little white dragon on the side didn't think deeply at all, and as for the accompanying black bear spirit and Lu Liuguai, they didn't even know what "fishing dragons in the eagle's sorrow" meant.

  …

  The lanterns hang high, and the fiery red words of joy can be seen everywhere. At this time, the entire villa has been immersed in a festive atmosphere.

  Although Gao Taigong will only accept his son-in-law tomorrow, but at this time the courtyard is already lively, and the villagers who are both guests and servants are smiling and celebrating.

  In the dark corner of the backyard, the canopy as the groom's official seemed a little restless, pacing constantly.

   His face was still handsome and extraordinary, and he was no different from the one who was the marshal back then, except that he changed his uniform to a commoner, and he even looked younger.

In the distance, an old man in a brocade robe, a black silk scarf, and a white beard saw him, leaning on a cane and walking towards him step by step, and said cheerfully, "My son-in-law, Everyone is busy, why did you come here? Let the old man be easy to find."

  Tianpeng quickly calmed down and stepped forward to help: "Tai Gong, your legs and feet are inconvenient, so don't walk around."

   Taigong Gao patted Tianpeng's hand and said, "I'm glad, if you don't leave now, when will you wait? By the way, why do you still call me Taigong? Should I change my words?"

   "This..." Tian Peng hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "Son-in-law, see your father-in-law."

"Return to my father-in-law?" Mrs. Gao looked a little unhappy, frowning and said, "I told you, just call me daddy, whatever Cuilan calls you, you can call it whatever you want. Whoever you are, everything is fine. , is too restrained."

  Tianpeng nodded again and again, hesitating to say anything.

   Seeing this, Taigong Gao said softly, "It's all a family. If you have anything to say, just say it."

   As soon as the canopy gritted his teeth, he fell to his knees with a thud, and bowed before bowing.

   For a while, Taigong Gao was also a little flustered, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help: "Xian-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

  Tianpeng frowned tightly and said in a low voice, "Gang Yan wants to ask the old lady to take her life back."

   "Come back?" For a while, Taigong Gao became more and more panicked, and quickly said: "It's all over, you still want to take it back? Do you think my Gao family doesn't have enough wealth?"

   "I dare not."

   "Does that mean you don't like that girl Cuilan?"

   "Miss is gentle and kind, and knowledgeable, how dare you not like it?"

The old lady blinked her dim eyes and said, "Could it be that it's because of the relationship? If this is the case, the old man promises you that if you have two sons in the future, one can take your surname and inherit half of the family property, okay? If you agree , the old man is willing to set up a letter."

   Canopy hurriedly shook his head.

   "So, why?"

Tianpeng blinked his eyes blankly, and after thinking for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Gangye is only a servant who was taken in by the old lady since childhood, how could he marry a young lady? If it spreads out, wouldn't it be a laughing stock? Miss it for the rest of your life."

   Hearing the words, the old lady couldn't help but laughed and said, "You are too... I really don't know how to say you. They all say that people need to be responsible, but today it seems that it is not good to be too responsible."

After a long sigh, the old lady said slowly: "The old man's eyes are full of flowers, but he is not stupid. If it wasn't for your internal and external management, how would I have the current wealth of my Gao family? Besides, the old man has no children under his knees. , recruit a son-in-law to inherit the incense, it will be sooner or later."

"Since we must recruit, you say, where can you find such a good son-in-law? You are literate and diligent. The old man grew up in Gao Lao Zhuang, but he has never seen such a good person as you. You said , who do not recruit you? Besides, Cuilan has already promised you a long time ago. If you hadn't refused to agree, how could she have waited until now to not marry? At twenty, she is an old girl. If you refuse again, It's really wronging her for life!"

   Said, Taigong Gao raised his hand and pretended to be fighting, and landed on the canopy's forehead, but only patted it lightly.

He said cheerfully: "Don't think about it any more, the villagers and the tenants all agree that you are suitable, where is the laughing stock? If you still recognize me as the grandfather, get up for me and do as the grandfather said. Give birth to a grandson for the Gao family as soon as possible to inherit the family business."

   After saying that, Grandpa Gao pulled him involuntarily and walked towards the lively place on crutches.

   On the way, everyone bowed their hands to Gao Taigong and Tianpeng, and Tianpeng also thanked everyone along with the old lady, but her eyebrows were still tightly knitted, as if she was worried.

   Suddenly, the canopy was slightly startled, and suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the gate. The surrounding guests were also stunned, looking at the canopy with some doubts.

   "My son-in-law, what's the matter?"

   "Someone is coming." Tianpeng replied dully.

  …

   At this time, outside the door, Xuan Zang and his party were slowly walking towards the gate of Gao's house.

  The clothes on the monkey's body undulate slightly without wind.

   "Master, you are..."

  Monkey replied casually: "Let the people inside know that we are here, so that it will not be too abrupt to meet for a while." (To be continued~^~)
