Xianye

Chapter 427: Four Monkeys in the World
Under Jie Xian Men, the important official of Dao Ting, Dou Yu Tian Zun, and Tunmeng Cave Master——

No matter which of these four titles is given to anyone, that person will surely be famous in the universe and become a rare and prestigious elder.

And these four categories are all titles of one person.

That would be even more respectable, awe-inspiring, extremely noble and honorable!

As early as the pre-Gu Dao Ting era, as the seventh disciple of the Jiexian Patriarch, the Taoist Kongkong had already attained the supreme fruit position. He was often a guest of honor at the Wan Tian Conference, could enter and leave the Zhuxiao Palace freely, and had a good relationship with the Crown Prince Changming.

It has been a very long time since the collapse of the Dao Court. Things have changed, and prosperity and decline are just a blink of an eye.

Countless high and mighty immortals and Buddhas have died miserably in the catastrophe. Even the fact that the Taoist court once ruled the universe has become a rather secret chapter in ancient history.

Not to mention that ordinary people in the world are ignorant of the Dao Court, even many practitioners in remote areas are confused.

Taoist Kongkong not only defeated the countless hidden attacks, but also escaped from the disaster.

During this period, he also seized the Tunmeng Cave's foundation, forcing the former Dou Yu Tianzun to lower his title. The master had no choice but to become his disciple and hand over Dou Yu Tian to him.

Such actions.

Even for those immortal giants, it is indeed not easy and amazing...

Wei Ling looked at Tong Xuan at this time and said:

“Brother, Taoist Kongkong is a rare master of all arts in the universe, dabbling in hundreds of ways, and is the same type of person as the former Taoist Grand Historian Mei Gongxing.

Moreover, this person has always been disrespectful in order to prove what he has learned, and his actions can be described as unscrupulous. You and I should be on guard."

After hearing these words, Zhou Ji's eyes kept rolling.

The old ape had an even gloomier face, with a complicated and inexplicable expression in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Master Kongkong has already strayed from the orthodox path of robbing immortals, and his path is completely different from that of his fellow disciples. Senior brother, I'm afraid that by then it may not be just words that deceive you, but it's unknown if you can go further. And Master Kongkong's evil methods are well-known in the heavens!

Even if he was bewitching with words, he persuaded Chen Yushu to betray Xuhuangtian and do all kinds of evil things. If he were to face Chen Heng now, he..."

At this point, Wei Ling paused, shook his head, but did not continue speaking.

Immediately, he raised his hand, pointed at the old ape with an unpleasant look nearby, and said:

“Yuan Ying should know more about the evil methods of Taoist Kongkong than I do.

Now that Yuan Ying has come under my command, why don't I ask him what he thinks?

Zhou Ji was surprised when he heard this.

He looked the old ape up and down for a few rounds and said strangely:

"No, Monkey, how can you be related to Taoist Kongkong? Are you from Douyutian or Tunmeng Cave? Were you a citizen under Taoist Kongkong's rule?"

Since hearing the name of Taoist Kongkong, the old ape named Yuan Ying fell into an inexplicable anger and mixed emotions.

Seeing Wei Ling pointed at him, he was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed and said:
"Yes, I am the one who is most familiar with Taoist Kongkong among the people present. I have been with him for hundreds of years. Of course, I didn't know he was Taoist Kongkong at that time."

"Are you really from Tunmeng Cave?" Zhou Ji was surprised.

"I am not a creature from Tunmeng Cave. I was born in a small land. As for why Taoist Kongkong targeted me..."

Yuan Ying was silent for a moment before saying:
"This guy thought I was a new gibbon, so he approached me deliberately."

"Thread-branched monkey?"

……

……

There are ten kinds of living beings in the Zhou Tian, ​​namely:

Gods, humans, ghosts, insects, scales, hairs, and feathers.

Whether it is the sacred immortals who live forever, or the mayflies that are born in a day and die in a night, they are all among these ten categories of creatures.

But given the wonders of nature and the vastness of the universe, there are naturally variables that occur, making it an exception to the normal constants of the world.

For example, the Four Mischievous Monkeys are one of the variables in the universe.

The four mischievous monkeys are the Stone Monkey, the Red-butted Horse Monkey, the Long-armed Ape and the Six-eared Macaque.

These four monkeys have strange destinies and great magical powers.

Their original images respectively correspond to the earth, water, fire and wind at the beginning of the world. They are actually a kind of divine and monster species that were born and raised on earth, and are deeply favored by the mysterious heavenly way!
At this time, Yuan Ying ignored Zhou Ji beside him.

He just sorted out his thoughts a little, calmed his mind, and then slowly told him about the entanglement between him and Kong Kong Daoren.

As Yuan Ying said before.

He was born in a small continent, with ordinary bloodline, and his tribe was just an ordinary demon ape tribe. There was no one with great magical powers among them, only some old apes who could climb clouds and enter streams.

Logically speaking, Yuan Ying and a giant like Taoist Kongkong should have no connection at all and it would be difficult for them to meet in their lifetime.

But after a rain of fire.

His fate would never be the same again...

"I still remember the fire rain, which covered the sky and blocked out the sun, and the stars were invisible. It lasted for a full ten months. During that time, I don't know how many lives died. Several seas were almost burned dry, and even the God of the Earth died!

But the strange thing is that I was not hurt at all. Not only me, but also the monkeys in the tribe were all alive and well. Although they were a lot thinner due to hunger, their lives were not in danger.

When I went out with my good friend Yuan Shan to look for food, I met an old Taoist priest. He asked me to kneel down and become his disciple, and he also taught me the scriptures. The monkeys in the tribe saw him extinguish the rain of fire in the sky with a flick of his sleeve, and they were all terrified and respectful, treating him as a moral god. I was very happy at that time, and I whispered to Yuan Shan more than once that I had finally hit the big luck..."

Yuan Ying's voice continued, but Zhou Ji became more and more surprised the more he listened.

In fact, the old Taoist was the incarnation of Taoist Kongkong.

At first, Yuan Ying was quite happy and just followed Taoist Kongkong in his practice. She obeyed his orders and respected him as her parent.

But as time went by, Yuan Ying gradually felt something was wrong.

"After I had achieved success in my practice, I began to have dreams. Every day I dreamed that I had been trapped in a stone cave since birth, and was chained to a dragon pillar by a fairy rope. There were several gods and heavenly generals standing at the entrance of the cave. I spoke to them, but they ignored me, and I couldn't hear clearly what they said.

After waking up from the dream, I asked Taoist Kongkong.

He just said that my mind was in a mess and asked me to sit in meditation.

But the dream continued, becoming more and more real, until I could even hear the voices of those gods and men...

They said I was a red-butted horse monkey, an alien species from heaven and earth, and they wanted to sacrifice me to the old Buddhas deep in the Wu'a Cave.

It is also said that the Wan Tian Conference will be held soon, and the Five Elders of the Thunder Department and the Eight Immortals of the Fighting Department will all come back from the Netherworld to offer gifts, and it is a rare opportunity for them to gather together.

It was also said that the immortal from West Kunlun had refined the immortal elixir after nine transformations, and had presented it to the Great Emperor as a gift...

Slowly, I seemed to become another person. I couldn't tell who I was and was in a daze all day long.

And one day, I suddenly woke up with a clear mind.

In fear, I ran to ask Taoist Kongkong, but he just smiled and told me that it turned out that I had made a mistake in my calculation..."

Yuan Ying slowly shook his head: "I don't understand, but I didn't dare to ask, I just continued to practice, thinking that as long as my merits were high enough one day, such strange things would naturally stop.

And one day, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Yuan Shan for a long time.

I quickly rode a cloud to look for him. After searching for several months, I finally found him on a deserted mountain.

Yuan Shan sat upright on the stone, looking dignified. When he saw me, he smiled at me, the same smile as Taoist Kong Kong—"

The sound paused here.

Yuan Ying's eyes were extremely gloomy, his hands clenched into fists, and he spoke word by word:
"He told me that his calculations were not too biased. It turned out to be this one..."

……

……

From beginning to end.

Taoist Kongkong has no good intentions.

It was he who extinguished the rain of fire, taught Yuan Ying how to practice, and passed on Taoist books and scriptures to him. The reason why Yuan Ying had dreams was that he repeatedly dreamed of the scene when Taoist Kongkong was born.

It comes down to it.

In fact, it was Taoist Kongkong who wanted to use the secret method to refine Yuan Ying into his response body.

The secret method is called "The Flow of the Fundamental Source of All Past Events", which is a secret chapter painstakingly created by Taoist Kongkong. It is also an utterly evil method of the heterodox sect!

In fact, as the respected Taoist Kongkong, he doesn't need to make such calculations when dealing with an ordinary person. As long as he has the thought, all the living beings on that land will be completely confused and become one of his infinite incarnations.

The reason for all the trouble is because of Yuan Ying or the new monkey.

The four mischievous monkeys each have their own magical powers, all of which are supernatural.

The clever stone monkey is able to transform himself, know the weather, understand the terrain, and move the stars and change the constellations.

The red-hatted horse and monkey know Yin and Yang, understand people and affairs, are good at going in and out, avoid death and prolong life.

The six-eared macaque is good at listening, able to observe principles, know the past and the future, and understand everything.

As for the Tongbi Ape, it can hold the sun and the moon, shrink thousands of mountains, distinguish good and bad, and manipulate the universe!
Rather than being living beings, these four mischievous monkeys are more like the root results of four kinds of karma.

Even with the vastness of the universe, there will never be two identical Four Monkeys. The old one will always die before a new one will come into being.

For example, the reason why there was a natural disaster of fire and rain in the place where Yuan Ying lived destroyed the land and sea.

If we talk about the root cause, it was actually affected by the fight between Taoist Kongkong and the old Tongbi Ape.

While the old gibbon is alive, there will never be another gibbon in the world.

Until the old gibbon was killed, Taoist Kongkong used divination to calculate that a new gibbon might be born in that land.

He then divided his spirit into two and approached Yuan Ying in the identity of an old Taoist priest, intending to use "The Fundamental Origin and Flow of All Past Things" to confuse the karma and refine Yuan Ying into a response body, so as to completely destroy his identity as a monkey!

Unexpectedly, the new monkey was not Yuan Ying, but the unremarkable Yuan Shan.

Although it took Taoist Kongkong hundreds of years of hard work, he finally gained the upper hand.

Today, Taoist Kongkong seems to have combined the two roles of Tongbi Ape and Lingming Stone Monkey, and he himself is a red-buttocks horse monkey.

The four monkeys correspond to the "four elements" of earth, water, fire and wind.

It seems.

Taoist Kongkong's goal is to combine the "four major" in one body!
Finished talking.

There was a slight silence in the field, even Zhou Ji, who was usually carefree, was dignified.

If it was as Yuan Ying said, then Taoist Kongkong was indeed a master of all arts, dabbling in hundreds of ways and being knowledgeable in everything. The "The Scripture of the Origin and Flow of All Past Fundamental No Divisions" he created was even more bizarre, and it could even deceive the powerful Four Monkeys.

Zhou Ji didn't know how Taoist Kongkong deviated from the orthodoxy in the Jiexian Dao. He also didn't know why Taoist Kongkong had deceived Chen Yushu into betraying his family and fleeing, and why he might be attacking Chen Heng now.

But you might be targeted by such a powerful person who has no taboos.

Don't think too much, that's definitely not a good thing...

At this time, Tongxuan looked at Weiling and said:

"Brother, why did you ask Yuan Ying to tell you about Taoist Kong Kong's past?"

"My intention is clear to you, Senior Brother."

"No."

"Brother, please allow me to report."

"No." Tong Xuan shook his head slightly.

Wei Ling was about to speak again, but Tong Xuan raised his hand to interrupt him. He said:

"I have also dealt with sword masters such as Yue Qi and Huangfu Chong. I know in my heart that Fuchu Mountain is definitely not a good place for a sword cultivator like you. It is better not to owe them a favor."

"If we don't ask them to come, who can stop Taoist Kongkong's evil methods? The master is now..."

Wei Ling stopped talking here and just shook his head slightly.

Tong Xuan looked at him deeply, and after a moment he couldn't help but stroke his beard and smiled: "Junior brother, you really care about my disciple. I would like to thank him in advance!"

In fact, Tongxuan was quite clear about Wei Ling's thoughts.

Ever since Jun Yao left the throne, the identity of Yuchen Daozi has remained undecided, and the true disciples of Zhang Taichu, Zhang Shou and others did not suit Wei Ling's taste. Now he has finally found someone he is slightly interested in.

If that person dies halfway, he will never be able to achieve immortality.

I'm afraid the angrier he is than Tong Xuan.

For this reason, Wei Ling accepted it even though he would owe a favor to Fuchushan.

At this time, Tongxuan suddenly smiled and said solemnly:
"Junior brother, I think you are worrying too much. Don't forget that although I have to stay in this valley for a long time and use the heaven and earth formation to nourish my spirit and mind, and cannot be happy and free, I was also a fairy in the past, and I jumped out of the cage of the mortal world.

I naturally know some secret things! "

He raised two fingers:
“First, Chen Heng is a human, unlike Yuan Ying, so he naturally has nothing to do with the Four Monkeys.

As for the second one, I once asked Grandmaster Daxian about Taoist Kongkong's way of robbing the immortals, and thus learned what kind of robbing the immortals method Taoist Kongkong had created.

My disciple may be a part of his plan, and he may be useful to him, and it will attract this person's attention, but taking his life will not benefit Taoist Kongkong in any way."

After saying that, Tong Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to Zhou Ji who was in a fog, and just handed a golden ring to Wei Ling's hand.

"Besides, even if Taoist Kongkong really disregards his dignity and wants to take Chen Heng back to Tunmeng Cave, as I said before, I have my own arrangements," he said.

Wei Ling took the golden ring in his hand, took a look at it, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

"I asked Yuan Ying to recount the past events in order to make Senior Brother more cautious about Taoist Kong Kong, and also to make Senior Brother agree to let me go to Fuchu Mountain... But since Senior Brother is so cautious, my efforts are in vain."

Wei Ling handed the golden ring back:

"It's just that it's hard to repay that favor."

Tong Xuan said indifferently: "Too much debt is not a big deal. It's not the first or second time anyway!"

The two smiled at each other, and after talking about some matters within the sect and finalizing some details, Wei Ling said goodbye and left without staying any longer.

As soon as Wei Ling disappeared, Zhou Ji pushed the slightly dazed Yuan Ying away with his butt.

He ignored the latter's angry glare and just went forward with a smug look, hugged Tongxuan's thighs tightly, and said flatteringly:

"Master, I have been with you for so many years, but you still don't consider Lao Zhou as your own! What is the origin of that golden ring? And what kind of immortal law did Taoist Kongkong create?

Speaking of which, it will also help me, Old Zhou, to gain some knowledge! "

Tong Xuan sneered and slapped the dog head away:

"Master Dayou is here to join in the fun again. Do you think I don't know that one of your sworn brothers is now a broker and is making a profit by reselling the secrets of the universe? Do you, the master, also want to get a piece of the pie?"

"What leader? Your words are really inappropriate. Just call me Xiao Huang."

Zhou Ji chuckled.

Tong Xuan was too lazy to pay any more attention, and Zhou Ji was unable to get anything out of him after pestering him for a long time. He could only wag his half-bald tail and shrink back to the side of the old ape Yuan Ying with a dull look on his face.

"Wait, Master, didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to a banquet in Tianwai? When should we get up?"

After being bored for a few hours, Zhou Ji suddenly remembered this incident and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Wait a little longer, wait for someone." Tong Xuan said.

"Who are you waiting for?"

Zhou Ji asked blankly.

And time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

On this day, Zhou Ji, who was basking in the sun, suddenly saw Tong Xuan raise his eyelids and his old eyebrows twitch.

Zhou Ji followed his gaze, and soon, his expression became somewhat interesting.

"Ouch!"

He seemed to want to say something, but after holding it in for a long time, only this sentence came out of his throat, leaving Yuan Ying standing beside him quite confused.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and the mist was hazy.

Outside the Xiaoming Lake, a cloud raft was seen crossing the mountains and sea of ​​clouds, heading straight for the gate of Yuchen Mountain.

And on the cloud raft, there was only a beautiful woman kneeling on a reed mat, with a fluttering silk sash and a long skirt trailing on the ground, looking graceful and elegant.

"You came at an unfortunate time. He is not inside the mountain gate now. Xiping Land, Gelu."

On the cloud raft, Wei Lingjiang suddenly heard an old voice in his ear, saying:

"If you are interested, you can look for it here."

"..."

Wei Lingjiang was slightly startled when he heard this, and his long eyelashes drooped.

After a moment's silence, she bowed, then pushed the cloud raft away, turned around and left.

"Master, is this a joke?"

Seeing that Wei Lingjiang had disappeared, Zhou Ji tried to hold it in for a long time but still couldn't hold it in.

"When did the young master offend you?" He was puzzled. "Didn't the young master send a letter to you two days ago, asking you for help on the strange incident of his junior sister appearing in his dream? I saw the sincerity in the letter. Could it be that the master was reminded of Jun Yao's incident and was unhappy, so he deliberately made things difficult for me?"

"Wait... who is this woman? What junior sister?" Yuan Ying was quite confused.

"You are such a dull guy, what do you know!"

Zhou Ji shook his head at Yuan Ying. Just as he was about to turn around to face Tong Xuan, he was struck by lightning, and black smoke came out of his mouth and his legs twitched, which made Yuan Ying, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but gloat over his misfortune.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How has my disciple ever offended me? And he is not Jun Yao."

Tong Xuan put his hands behind his back and shook his head slightly:
"Before I left, I told him the true meaning of the law of robbery. You must know that everything in this world is like a net. The bondage of the world encompasses everything, even people like us are no exception."

Tong Xuan took the dragon-tiger jade ruyi at his waist, stared at it for a moment, and continued:
"There are thousands of ways to rectify one's mind, and the Tao is not just about clarity or obscurity. No matter how they decide at that time, for them, it will be a process of refining their minds and seeing their nature, and achieving harmony and tranquility."

At this point, Tongxuan's voice paused slightly.

He paused for a moment before sighing:
“And to create karma and move forward is like a blind man stumbling upon a river or an ocean.

It is not just the children who are trapped in the bondage of the world. Even I am trapped in the net..."

At this moment, in Tongxuan's field of vision, a layer of clear light emerged from the dragon-tiger jade ruyi. Looking through that layer of clear light, it seemed that one could glimpse another world through the air.

It was a dilapidated and desolate star region. The sun and the moon were dim and there was no bright light. There was only a black gas swirling in the void, making it difficult to see anything at a close distance.

In the center of the black air was a Zheng Yi Xuan Altar, on which sat a young Taoist with long hair hanging down to his shoulders, red lips and white teeth.

There was a round light covering his head, dim and dark.

The 888 skeleton gods and demons below bent their knees and hunched their backs, jointly holding up the Xuantan, muttering something in an eerie voice, as if it were some kind of ancient chant.

"Earlier, I used the Plum Blossom Divination to predict my fortune and figured out something strange. Now, I see that my next challenge is indeed you."

Tongxuan smiled inwardly.

A moment later, as he waved his hand, the light of the Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi faded, and the desolate world instantly disappeared, and no trace of it could be seen anymore.

"Let's go." Tong Xuan didn't express much emotion, just said this.

"Master, where are you going?"

Zhou Ji shook his half-bald tail and responded weakly.

"Let's go to the banquet outside the sky." Tong Xuan said.

When these words were spoken, both Zhou Ji and Yuan Ying were shocked.

The two were about to grin, but soon seemed to remember something and turned to look at each other at the same time, glaring at each other.

"Don't make trouble. You all have a part. Follow along. This time you can have fun to your heart's content." Tong Xuan grabbed Zhou Ji, who was rubbing his hands together and ready to fight.

"Master, are you serious? Or is this a joke?" Yuan Ying was surprised.

"..."

Zhou Ji was even more suspicious. After living with Tong Xuan for so many years, he knew Tong Xuan's character to some extent. Despite the generous conditions, he did not dare to believe it and only suspected that there was some trick involved.

"Attending the banquet in Tianwai is just a side job. Since you are asking for help, you should be courteous no matter what." Tong Xuan saw through Zhou Ji's thoughts at a glance and explained.

"Oh, etiquette? Master, are you talking about the owner of the golden ring?" Yuan Ying seemed to understand.

"Wait, could it be that I, Old Zhou, and the monkey are just being polite?"

Zhou Jiyin felt that something was wrong and forced a smile.

"No." Tong Xuan stroked his beard, looked at the monkey and the dog meaningfully, and said slowly: "You are just extras."

"..."

Zhou Ji stared and was about to curse, but Tong Xuan flicked his sleeves and the monkey and the dog were put into his sleeves.

Then, there suddenly appeared a ray of fairy light that shot up into the sky, and in a moment it broke through the nine layers of heaven and went straight into the universe!
