The little monkey seemed to have fallen from the clouds to the ground, grinning in pain and screaming.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
I saw a girl wearing commoner clothes and hemp shoes with braided horns walking quickly towards it, with a look of worry on her chubby little face, and she gently held the little monkey in her arms.
"Wukong, you are naughty again."
As she spoke, the girl stretched out her little hand and gently rubbed the bruised wound caused by the little monkey's fall.
Are you calling me?
The little monkey struggled in the girl's arms for a while, and found that all the realm and strength he had finally cultivated were gone. Now he was just an ordinary little monkey, and he didn't even have the strength to escape.
"Don't move, it's so itchy." The girl giggled when the little monkey scratched her itch, and patted its butt coquettishly.
Seeing that it was not injured, the girl moved a small bench and let the little monkey sit on the bench.
He said to it seriously, "Sit here and don't move. I'll get you something to eat."
After placing the little monkey, the girl ran towards the kitchen with cheerful steps.
Under the leafy jujube tree, the little monkey sat on the bench with a confused look on his face and began to think about monkey life.
who I am?
Where am I?
Who is that little girl?
Looking around, the little monkey was sitting in a dilapidated courtyard. The courtyard was deep and covered with weeds. There were bundles of firewood and patched clothes piled in the corner.
In a daze, a familiar yet unfamiliar memory flooded into its mind.
In the memory fragment, the little monkey saw a female monkey being eaten by a wild beast in the mountains in order to protect herself. Just when she was about to be swallowed by the wild beast, a hunter appeared and shot the wild beast to death with an arrow.
Then, he took it back and raised it in captivity.
This girl is the hunter's child, Tangtang.
Tangtang liked to listen to the story of Journey to the West, so she named her Wukong.
When she has nothing to do, Tangtang likes to hold it and sit in the yard, telling it stories she heard from storytellers.
After accepting this memory, the little monkey fell into a dilemma.
Could it be that he has traveled through time?
If it's not time travel, which side is the real world?
"There is no wifi, no games, no air conditioning or coke here. I want to go back!" the little monkey squeaked, but now it has no cultivation and is weak, so it doesn't know how to go back.
Thinking of this, the little monkey took advantage of Tangtang to get food and sneakily slipped out of the yard.
The door to the yard is unlocked and ajar. As long as it leaves the yard, it is free.
The little monkey slipped smoothly to the door of the yard in a flash. Just when it was about to leave, Tangtang's voice rang, "Wukong, it's time to eat."
Gulu.
Just when the little monkey was about to sneak away, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
After hesitating for two seconds, the little monkey came back.
Forget it, leave after finishing this meal.
What should you do if you run outside and can't find anything to eat?
Tangtang walked over with a sea bowl as big as her face and saw the little monkey sitting obediently on the bench under the jujube tree.
The little monkey looked over and saw a dark, coarse-grain steamed bun in the bowl.
The steamed buns had just been steamed, but they were still a bit hard and smelled rancid, making them unappetizing.
"..." The little monkey danced in protest.
I am a monkey, just like a banana!
If there are no bananas, corn, peanuts, peaches, sweet potatoes, anything can be eaten.
What does it mean to feed steamed buns?
Tangtang saw that the little monkey didn't eat as usual, blinked strangely, touched its head and asked, "Wukong, why don't you eat?"
Even if I starve to death here, I won’t eat sour steamed buns!
"If you don't eat, you won't have anything to eat today when dad comes back."
In the end, the little monkey ate three large bowls in one go. The terrifying amount of food frightened Tangtang.
A tough little monkey.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with the monkey." Tangtang patted the little monkey who choked after eating too quickly, and sat on the small bench next to him and muttered, "Brother Big Niu next door caught him on the mountain today.
A rabbit came to give to me."
"I didn't ask for it. Dad said you can't just ask for other people's things."
"Brother Danniu said that when I grow up, he will come over and marry my father and marry me as his bride. Wukong, do you know what bride means?" Tangtang said innocently, tilting her head.
The little monkey ate the black steamed buns with big mouthfuls, and glanced over at him from time to time like he was looking at a silly girl.
Tangtang:???
What does the look in its eyes mean? It seems to look down on me.
Time flies like an arrow.
The little monkey stayed in this small courtyard for half a year. During this period, it sneaked out of the courtyard and went to the outside world. This seemed to be different from the world it had been in before. There were not only practitioners but also legendary immortals.
.
The outside world is wonderful, but also very dangerous.
Just as the little monkey was gradually adapting to life here, one day Tangtang's father ran into the yard with excitement on his face.
"Tangtang, several immortal leaders came to the village to select fairy seedlings from the children. The village chief asked all children under the age of thirteen to come. If they can be attracted by the immortal leaders and be introduced to the Immortal Sect, even if they are fairies
The maids are all blessed through three lifetimes of cultivation." The stocky man's face was filled with excitement. For the hunters in the mountains, becoming a fairy seedling was an opportunity to change their destiny.
If she couldn't choose Xian Miao, Tangtang would have no choice but to marry early and have children like an ordinary girl, and live out her life in poverty.
"Then can I take Goku with me?"
Tangtang didn't understand what being introduced to the Immortal Sect meant to ordinary people, she just couldn't let go of the little monkey.
The stocky man scratched his head and said, "Maybe not. The village chief is still waiting over there. Let's go quickly."
At this moment, the scene in front of the little monkey changed.
Outside the barren mountain village, a group of mountain people were kneeling on the ground, their cheeks almost touching the ground, not daring to look directly at the immortal faces. In front of them, stood several immortals with feather-fans, silk scarves and Taoist spirit.
These immortals were both male and female, with aloof and arrogant looks on their faces, and they looked at the mountain people as if they were selecting livestock.
The little monkey saw Tangtang kneeling on the ground like an adult, and from time to time he quietly raised his head to look at the faces of these immortals.
"It turns out that all immortals look like this, and they are no different from us." Tangtang took a sneak look and said in her heart curiously.
Several immortals glanced at the mountain people kneeling on the ground, with disappointment in their eyes.
"They are all a group of villagers in the mountains. I don't think there will be any fairy seedlings here. I'd better go to Chang'an Mansion and have a look." A man in feathers and mango shoes glanced at the Chang'an Mansion with an expressionless expression and said, "Chang'an Mansion."
Outstanding people, there must be many outstanding immortal seedlings.”
"It's hard to find fairy seedlings, and there are saints in Chang'an Mansion, who suppress the immortal way greatly." Fairy Honglian thought for a moment and said, "That's it, let's go."
Hearing the conversation between the immortals, the mountain people kneeling on the ground felt disappointed, but no one dared to speak out.
Suddenly, Fairy Red Lotus noticed a pair of bright eyes in the crowd looking over.
"Who dares to peek at the immortal face?"
Red Lotus Fairy frowned, and a strong suction force came, and a little girl flew out from the crowd.
Sugar!
The stocky man's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "The child was ignorant and bumped into the immortal, please forgive me."
"Hmph, who asked you to speak?"
A terrifying coercion came down, and the stocky man fell to the ground, bleeding.
Fairy Red Lotus was about to take action when suddenly her eyes lit up and she stretched out a palm to slap Tangtang on the head.
After a while, she felt as if she had found a treasure, her eyes filled with ecstasy.
"Spiritual roots!" Red Lotus Fairy's eyes suddenly softened when she looked at the little girl, "My Majesty the Infinite Immortal, I never thought that I could find such a qualified fairy seedling in this mountainous countryside."
"Are you willing to be a disciple of my Wuliang Sect?"
Tangtang instinctively wanted to shake her head, but in the encouraging eyes of her father and the village chief, she still agreed.
In fact, she was not qualified to refuse at all.
The only difference is whether you follow them voluntarily or you are forcibly taken away by them.
"good!"
Red Lotus Fairy laughed, and the expression on her face became more and more satisfied, "My Wuliang Sect cultivates the Tao of Supreme Forgetting Love, which means that before entering the immortal sect, you must first cut off the world of mortals."
"Zhan Hongchen?" Tangtang didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little scared.
"That's right. Once you enter the Immortal Sect, I will be your master. Your master will help you cut off your worldly ties. From now on, your worldly ties will have nothing to do with you."
As she spoke, Red Lotus Fairy waved her hand.
The mountain people kneeling on the ground fell down one after another, as if they had fallen asleep, and the energy in their bodies was cut off by an invisible knife.
There is a difference between immortals and mortals. To Red Lotus Fairy, the lives of these mortals are not worth mentioning.
Seeing this scene, Tangtang's body became colder inch by inch, as if she had lost her soul, and her eyes were dull.
squeak.
At this time, the little monkey rushed over in a flash, trying to rescue Tangtang.
"Don't come over."
Hearing the cry of the little monkey, Tangtang came back to her senses and shouted loudly.
"Haha, this monkey is quite spiritual. Unfortunately, in order to cut off the worldly bond, he must die." Red Lotus Fairy smiled sweetly and patted it with her palm.
Bang!
The little monkey was directly pressed to the ground by an invisible force, unable to move.
Not dead?
Red Lotus Fairy looked surprised. Although this monkey was full of spirituality, it was just an ordinary stubborn monkey in the mountains. It didn't die even after being slapped by her.
The little monkey who was pressed to the ground stubbornly raised his head, a flash of blood appearing in his dark eyes.
"Hmph, even a stubborn monkey dares to be disrespectful to an immortal."
As he spoke, a red fairy sword shot straight into the sky, then fell from the sky and struck down at the little monkey.
