[Journey to the West] Edible Guide for the Great Sage

Danqing was used to the smell of Monkey King by his side, now he was occupying the stone bed alone, and his sleep was not as solid as usual, and he woke up faintly before half an hour.She rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up, instinctively wanting to call out "Great Sage", but when she looked closely, she found that Marshal Ma was walking around beside the stone bed, frowning.

She faintly felt that something bad had happened, so she immediately came to her senses and said, "Marshal Ma, what happened? Where is the Great Sage?"

Marshal Ma realized that she was awake.He twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Your Majesty—he led the monkeys to practice. Fairy Danqing, come and eat something." He brought a plate of various fruits to her, and said, "It's all Pick the biggest and best one, you’ll be hungry after a night’s sleep.”

This is typical avoidance.Danqing was even more sure of her own thoughts, so she pushed the fruit plate aside and said, "What happened?"

Marshal Ma moved his lips, apparently wanting to say something but dared not say it. After a while, he sighed and said, "It's really nothing. Your Majesty will be back in a while."

Danqing sighed bitterly, and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll go out and see."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the cave door, she bumped her nose against an invisible barrier, grinning her teeth in pain.

"What is this?" She turned around and asked Marshal Ma, only to get his lips curled up and his shoulders shrugged.When she got angry, she immediately punched and kicked the barrier, but the barrier was so hard that no matter how hard she tossed it, it was difficult to break through it.

It seems that something terrible happened, and Monkey King locked her inside. Is this a kind of protection?Is it a nearby demon or—a fairy?It's just that no matter what kind of power it is, Sun Wukong's problem of not being able to use supernatural powers from time to time has not been cured at that time, and Danqing is really worried if he is alone in danger.

She stared at Marshal Ma for a long time, but he had no intention of revealing the truth at all.With a movement in her heart, she immediately turned into an ice pick and pointed it at her neck, saying: "Marshal Ma, you must know where the formation is, right? If you don't let me out, I will kill myself on the spot for you to see."

Marshal Ma panicked when he saw this, and said: "Fairy Danqing, the king is afraid that you will be in danger if you go out, so the king will not let you go out. If something happens to you, I can only apologize with death."

Danqing was instantly discouraged.She said again: "Then you just tell me who is here, and I won't do anything stupid, okay?"

Marshal Ma hesitated for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh, and said, "Oh! It's the gods in the sky. They have come to capture the king. There is a man with a long beard holding a pagoda, a big man with an axe, and a man with an axe. Seven or eight-year-old milk doll, holding a gun in his hand. Fairy, please do me a favor. The king said, if you go out, you must speak for him, and you will be troubled by him. You can hide in the cave. Tell the gods that he tied you up, not that you are willing to join forces with him..."

Dan Qing was taken aback, his nose suddenly felt a little sour.She didn't expect Monkey King to reach this step.Indeed, if she confronts the gods, she will definitely help Monkey King, and it may even be more than just talking.However, it is absolutely impossible for her to stand by and watch.Monkey has righteousness, she cannot be ruthless.She turned hard and said to Marshal Ma: "Marshal really won't let me out?"

Marshal Ma looked embarrassed and shook his head.

She nodded slightly, closed her eyes and concentrated, using all her cultivation to gather at her fingertips.The familiar feeling of being one with the water spread to my mind again.She could feel even a tiny bit of Mercury.The moment he clenched his fist, all the water condensed into sharp ice, and hit the barrier at an extremely fast speed.

Marshal Ma was startled, and quickly squatted on the ground and covered his ears.

The sound of sharp ice breaking immediately echoed in the cave.

Marshal Ma looked at Danqing in surprise, he didn't expect that a lazy fairy would have such great power to break the magic circle of his king.

Danqing stepped out of the cave door, turned around and said, "I'm sorry, Marshal."

After leaving the gate of Shuilian Cave, a white light suddenly appeared outside the cave.Dan Qing tightly closed his stinging eyes.But when he opened it again, everything seemed different.

It is still the iron bridge outside the Water Curtain Cave.She took two steps forward, but felt that something was wrong everywhere.

Although Huaguoshan is not noisy on weekdays, it is very lively.Small animals that come out for food and play can be seen everywhere.However, at this moment, except for the sound of running water from a waterfall cascading from the top of the mountain, she could hardly feel the existence of other living beings.

The sky was clear and the sun was hanging high in the sky with impunity.The sun shone on Danqing, but she couldn't feel any warmth.

The Huaguo Mountain she was in was more like a big garden carefully arranged by someone.This is illusion.She didn't know what went wrong when controlling the water just now, and she fell into a formation.She turned and went back to the Water Curtain Cave.Sure enough, there was no sign of Marshal Ma and the others inside.All the stone benches and tables placed in the main hall of Water Curtain Cave are covered with thick dust and cobwebs, as if a Monkey King has never lived here with his monkey grandson.

what time is thisThousands of years ago, or thousands of years later?

She walked around the cave and found nothing special.

"Great Sage—" She put her hands to her mouth to amplify the sound, and shouted loudly in the cave.

"Marshal Ma—" she raised her voice and called again, but no one answered.

She was a little panicked. At the age of 700 years, she has never learned how to break the formation, and she doesn't even know why she fell into such an illusion.What's more, in reality, Huaguo Mountain is facing a disaster at this time, she must find a way to get out immediately, and go out to help Monkey King resist it.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked around the waterfall to the outside of Shuilian Cave, on Huaguo Mountain.It's eerily quiet here.It was as if she was the only one left in the world.She raised her hand to steer some water into ice picks and hit the sky.I don't know how high it was hit, the ice pick rose to a place where she couldn't reach it with spells, lost its strength and fell, fell to the ground and fell to the ground, falling to a meter and breaking into bones.

It seems that this illusion is not tangible.

She thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought that the Xingshui waters at the foot of Huaguo Mountain connected to the East China Sea to the east.Even before Monkey King, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was already there.Maybe there will be something to be gained by exploring the Dragon Palace.

She no longer hesitated, and used the cloud climbing technique to go to the foot of the mountain.

In the middle of the sky, the vision is better.Her flying speed is much faster than running.But at this moment, she couldn't even feel the slightest wind in mid-air.The trees passing by under his feet did not make any sound.

She speeded up to the foot of the mountain, only to see a middle-aged man in white standing by the water talking to a creature in the water.

It was so far away that she couldn't hear what they were saying.She had no choice but to get closer and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what year is it now?"

The man ignored her, he knelt down and stretched his right hand into the sea water to stroke a big fish inside.

When she got closer, she realized that it was also a carp, about the same size as herself, two or three feet long, and it was also silver in color.However, there is a cluster of red phosphorus on the fish's back, which is shining brightly under the sunlight, which is very beautiful.

"Uncle?" She squatted beside the man and tilted her head to call him, but she still didn't get a response.

It seems that they are also people in the illusion, neither can hear her nor see her.

Although the middle-aged man looked older, he was still very heroic.When standing at the water's edge with hands behind his back, he still has the air of a king.

Looking at him and the carp in the water, Danqing suddenly felt very familiar.She was in a daze, and some strange thoughts came to her mind.Could it be that they were once her family members, were they her relatives?

The middle-aged man stroked the back of the carp in the water, let go of the regal aura on his body, and his eyes gradually softened.He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Jiu'er, 500 years are approaching, and you will have to go through the tribulation for the first time. My daughter will definitely succeed."

It turned out that they were father and daughter.Danqing also squatted by the water, staring at the carp in the water, in a daze.

The carp named Jiu'er vomited bubbles and said, "Then after I succeed, can I transform into a human form like Daddy and brothers?"

The man raised his brows and nodded, proudly said: "You have the most noble bloodline, and if you transform into an adult, you will end up as beautiful as your mother."

The most noble... Could it be that they belong to the royal carp family?Dan Qing vaguely remembered that Feng Gu told her that the last emperor carp had passed away and died.Didn't this poor little carp not succeed...

Jiu'er shook his tail, the fish head turned his back to the man, and said somewhat disappointed: "But mother and brothers are gone. Even Daddy can't play with me in the water..."

The man's expression immediately dimmed.He sighed slightly, and said: "Your talent is unmatched by my brothers. You have something that they don't have, so you will be successful. Daddy may not come to see you again in the near future. Wait until you succeed in robbing After that, you must be careful in everything, that is when you are the weakest. Jiu'er, you are the last hope of the clan."

"I know Daddy, I won't disappoint you." Jiu'er vomited two bubbles, sank to the bottom of the water, and said, "I'm going to continue to practice, goodbye Daddy."

The man nodded, but reluctantly lifted his hand from the water.

Rao Danqing has never experienced the value of family affection, but at this moment he can't help but feel a little moved.When she turned her head to look at them again, she found that the man's eyes were red, and then, a drop of clear tears flowed across his handsome facial features and spilled on his clothes.He wiped away his tears, stood up, his figure gradually became transparent and finally disappeared.

Danqing was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the man had no body, and it was only his heroic soul who was talking to Jiu'er just now.Leave that last tear, and he will die forever.She didn't know how he made his own soul insist on transforming into such a realistic figure to accompany and encourage his little daughter, but he would never see the day when his daughter successfully crossed the catastrophe.He could not even protect his daughter in his father's arms when disaster struck.
