[Journey to the West] Show mercy

?Huaguo Mountain is in midsummer, wild flowers are everywhere, wild fruits are full of trees, and it is the most prosperous time.But at this time, Huaguoshan is extremely quiet, only the occasional bird calls and the rushing spring water of Huaguoshan Waterfall.

There seemed to be no monkeys in the mountains.

Qi Chen suspected that these were the work of the weasel that Ran Yu said, so he asked him: "The weasel spirit you mentioned captured all the monkeys here?"

Ran Yu shook his head: "It's not so much a arrest, but he seems to force them to follow his command. It's so quiet in this mountain, I'm afraid they are all going out to misbehave. Why don't we go around and look around, maybe we can find their traces. "

"Will they hide in the Water Curtain Cave?" Qi Chen asked.

"I can't tell."

"I really don't understand," Qi Chen looked at Ran Yu's weak scholarly appearance, "Why did the Heavenly Court send you to get rid of the demon? You look weaker than Elder Tang, and a gust of demonic wind can blow you away. "

Ran Yu laughed, "Then you underestimate me too much." Different from Sun Wukong's wild or mischievous smile, Ran Yu's smile has always been very gentle, which is exactly the same as his name.He is a piece of warm jade, exuding a gentle temperature even in the coldest winter - and the Great Sage can be fire or ice.

Qi Chen slapped himself on the head: Why are you thinking about Monkey King again!

Seeing her strange behavior, Ran Yu laughed again: "You are indeed very different from before."

This was the first time that Ran Yu mentioned the "before" to her. Although he called her "Zixia Shangxian" before, he never mentioned that he knew her or understood her.Qi Shen replied out of courtesy: "Both Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva said that I lost more than half of my soul, and the rest is only a part of my personality, so there is nothing strange about it. To be honest, this is pretty good. According to The fairy named Lingqing said, I used to have a cold personality, so I must always be dry and ignore what other people say, so I am not likable."

Ran Yu's face changed, as if he frowned when he heard something that made him unhappy, but he quickly returned to his previous smile. "It's not bad to have a colder personality, but it's just that you don't dare to express yourself." He comforted, "It's also good to be lively, and you can make many friends. Speaking of friends, did you know some monkeys when you lived here? Most of them should still be alive, Sun Wukong crossed out their names in the book of life and death."

"They must all know me, after all, I'm the only one here in human form. In fact, I think the Great Sage can also be transformed into a human form, but he always emphasizes the importance of fur, so I—" She choked, "Uh, Too much talk, let's start thinking about how to do business."

"You what?" Ran Yu asked curiously, ignoring the second half of her sentence.

"I—" Qi Shen was a little embarrassed, "—one of the changes I learned was to become a monkey..."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, and Ran Yu also showed a thoughtful expression.

"Then... can you turn into a monkey and go into the Water Curtain Cave to take a look?" He asked, "I don't seem to be able to turn into something that can hide my identity."

Qi Chen began to worry again that he would run into a weasel spirit and be caught.Ran Yu seemed to have read her mind: "Have you recovered your magic power now? Isn't it a piece of cake to deal with these monsters? That guy's strength is probably not a quarter of Monkey King's."

This guy, how can he open his mouth and keep his mouth shut? It's Monkey King!Qi Chen was still a little nervous when he heard this name at first, but now that he has said it too many times, he is already numb!

"Then... let me try."

Qi Chen trotted to the front of the Water Curtain Cave, and after reciting the mantra, he became one of the monkeys all over the mountain, and slipped in carefully.But as soon as she entered, the darkness inside made it almost impossible for her to see anything clearly.When her eyes adjusted to the darkness, a circle of monkeys surrounded her.But when she looked outside the circle, she found that there were only a few monkeys left in the cave.

A female monkey recognized Qi Chen's appearance, and quickly told the others to back off.This female monkey is an exceptionally clever one among the monkey group, and it was she who helped Qi Chen find a way to spread the news that the six-eared macaque was a fake Monkey King among the monkeys last time.

"Why did everyone disappear? Was it taken away by that weasel?" Qi Chen lowered her voice and asked.

Monkeys, you said what you said: why did a weasel come suddenly and force them to obey his instructions, and those who opposed were severely injured, and then said that the weasel took them to attack the surrounding villages every now and then. Every time there are only a few households left to guard in the cave and so on.The monkeys asked how Sun Wukong was doing again, Qi Shen had no choice but to tell them that she had returned to the Heavenly Court after her practice, and now she followed after the Heavenly Court sent someone down to capture the weasel, and said that Monkey King's practice had been going well, but recently she didn't know How is he.

The monkeys were worried when they heard that Sun Wukong's practice was not over yet, but they jumped up happily when they heard that Qi Shen and others came down together to catch the weasel monster.Qi Chen asked about that weasel's temperament, and learned that every time he came back from burning, slaughtering and looting, he liked to ask the monkeys to bring him tea and water, and he ate and drank a big meal, and the monkeys were not allowed to eat.Therefore, every time he drank until he was very drunk.

Qi Chen listened and came up with a plan, since this guy likes to drink, it shouldn't be difficult to subdue him while he's drunk.She asked the weasel if he had any treasures. The monkeys said that he had a long whip, which seemed to have self-awareness.

This whip...is just like a guard!In this way, even if he was drunk, he still couldn't subdue him?But Ran Yu said he was weak, so there shouldn't be anything wrong, right?

Thinking of this, Qi Chen happened to want to test the extent of her current mana, so she went out and told Ran Yu that she could solve this problem by herself, and asked him not to intervene for the time being.She explained that she was trying to test the degree of mana recovery, Ran Yu nodded and said that he would take a look around and call him if there was any trouble.

Qi Chen waited in the cave for a while, and as expected, the weasel led a group of monkeys and returned with the spoils.This guy has wicked eyebrows and is wearing a gray shirt. His tall figure and shrunken facial features look ridiculous.He was in a great mood, and once he entered the cave, he asked the monkeys to prepare wine and food for him to eat alone.

The monkeys had no choice but to do so, and even brought out the peach blossom wine that Sun Wukong had buried when he left Huaguo Mountain—this made Qi Chen very angry, she didn't taste it, but was drunk by this monster instead?But the monster got drunk after a while, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Qi Chen observed him secretly from a distance, and found that there was indeed a whip pinned to his belt.The whip is bright silver, still shining under the dim light in the cave, it looks like nothing ordinary.The whip looked harmless, I don't know what effect it would have if it got close.

Qi Chen pretended to be a monkey picking up leftovers, and approached the monster cautiously.Suddenly the whip moved, Qi Chen was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot.But the whip immediately returned to calm, making Qi Chen wonder if his eyes were dazzled.

She kept on doing nothing, murmuring words, and with one finger, a rope was about to come forward to tie the weasel tightly.At this moment, the whip suddenly seemed to come alive, grabbed the flying rope and threw it to the ground.It also seemed to realize that Qi Shen was the culprit, and crawled over like a snake.Qi Chen dodged in a hurry, and chanted spells to slow down its movements, but these spells had no effect on the whip.As soon as it flashed, it tied her up!

This way, the weasel also woke up.He rubbed his eyes, looked down at Qi Chen who was tied up on the ground.Qi Chen still tried to read some spells to escape, but the whip seemed to be able to absorb her spells, no matter how hard she tossed about it, it was useless.

"Bold monster monkey!" The weasel finally came to his senses, "Are you trying to murder me! What's your name!"

Qi Chen was still struggling, the whip seemed to be annoyed, emitting silver rays of light, Qi Chen suddenly felt something leaving his body quickly.That's her mana.

Without the support of enough mana, she could only change back to her original human form.

"Bold! How dare you sneak into my water curtain hole!" the weasel said angrily, "Little ones, catch her!"

No monkey action.They all recognized Qi Shen.

Qi Chen sneered: "Your Water Curtain Cave? Pooh!"

The weasel became even more angry, its small eyes widened and looked extremely terrifying: "Who are you!"

Qi Chen snorted and said: "I, Zheng Qichen, don't change my name or surname when I'm on the job. How can I be like you, a despicable monster who occupies other people's caves as their nests! I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even know how you died in the end." Know!"

Weasel narrowed his eyes: "You said your name is Zheng Qichen?"

Qi Chen ignored him, but the weasel suddenly burst into laughter. "It's really hard to find a place to go through the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it! She is indeed right! If this is the case, the whip will belong to me completely!"
