[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

Chapter 116 Extra Story

"Do you think this gentleman is too gorgeous?" Qi Lian looked at himself in the mirror in a red wedding dress and a phoenix crown, and asked Liu Se and Mu Lin next to him with some uncertainty.

Today is the big day for him and Wukong. The dress was sent from Huaguo Mountain the day before yesterday. After improvement, it is not as heavy and complicated as the woman's phoenix robe and phoenix crown, but the style of the groom's suit, and the embroidery on the dress is not the phoenix. , but a few peach blossoms in full bloom.But Qi Lian always liked plain colors, so it was a little uncomfortable to change into bright red at first.

Mu Lin combed Qi Lian's hair with a wooden comb, looked at Qi Lian in the glasses, and said with a smile: "I think it's pretty good. It's still the great saint who knows the king best, the simplicity of the clothes and accessories he sent It's also festive and matches your temperament very well."

Liu Se also said: "Although the prince always likes plain colors, whether it is according to the customs of the world or Huaguo Mountain, red should be the appropriate color for the wedding day." After a pause, he sighed with some emotion, "I I really didn't expect that I would be qualified to marry you off as my natal family, and the person you want to marry is still my benefactor."

"Your father, Mr. Liu, is a virtuous minister. I felt ashamed for not being able to protect him before he was alive. Now that I can take care of you as much as I can, it is also a comfort to his spirit in heaven." Qi Lian said.

Liu Se's eyes were full of gratitude, and carefully tied a jade pendant around Qi Lian's waist.

The sound of firecrackers came from far and near outside the door, Si Ming and Yuelao, as the two most restless old people in the whole heaven, naturally wanted to come to intervene, preside over the overall situation, witness the marriage and so on.

Before they arrived, the cheerful voice had already spread to the yard, "Haha, Mr. Chengxian Yuan, have you cleaned up? Haha, the great sage is in a hurry again, and I can't wait to pay homage to you. Come out as soon as everything is packed, he is waiting outside the gate."

"Okay." Qi Lian replied, got up and walked out.He felt that he had nothing to deal with, and it was not the first time he and Wukong had met, and they didn't know each other, so there was no need to deliberately dress up.

Liu Se felt that something was wrong. In the mortal world, which bride would dare to show her face like this?

On the other hand, Mu Lin didn't know much about the rules, and felt that his master was doing the right thing, so he followed Qi Lian happily.

Thinking of Qi Lian's way of doing things casually, Liu Se could only feel relieved and followed her out.The huge Jin Mansion was full of people who came to welcome the bride. Except for Yue Lao and Si Ming, the rest were all little monkeys.

Seeing Qi Lian come out, the monkeys swarmed up and looked at him curiously.Although Qi Lian just changed into a new dress, it is no different from the past, but in the eyes of these innocent little monkeys, it is still quite different.They felt that Qi Lian looked as good as a painting today, and they couldn't help breathing in "tsk tsk tsk".

Qi Lian flipped out a bag of sticks and handed out one to each little monkey.The little monkey got the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in his mouth, yelling "Brother Huanxi" happily after every mouthful.

Qi Lian shook the calico bag in his hand with a smile, and said, "Don't grab it, there's still more after eating." He took out another stick candy and handed it to Yue Lao and Si Ming, "Here, let you two Everyone is also happy."

Yuelao took the candy and said, "It's a good marriage for a hundred years."

Si Ming took the candy, but with a smirk on his face, "Yuanjun, I'm sorry for what happened before. But from now on, we are still good friends——ahaha."

Qi Lian smiled and said: "Naturally, naturally." It's just that the deep meaning in this smile can only be understood by Si Ming himself.

Si Ming twitched the corners of his mouth guiltily, thinking: It's over, Cheng Xianyuan Jun will go down to earth, and it will become more difficult to fool.Or he is close to Mo Zhehei. He has been with the monkey for a long time before he opened his mind. How many thoughts have he had?

"Brother Huanxi, why don't you go out, my king is waiting in a hurry." A little monkey came over and said, tiptoeing to grab the bag in Qi Lian's hand, wanting another candy.

"It's all for you, you go and share it with everyone." Qi Lian gave him the whole bag of candies, and said with a smile: "As for your king - it doesn't hurt to let him wait outside for a while."

He said so, but Qi Lian's performance was not so calm. After all, after ten reincarnations, he has seen and experienced everything, but it is the first time to get married. The fruit of success, at this time, I am feeling uneasy and a little looking forward to it.

So he hurried to the door immediately.He said he was in a hurry, but his steps were brisk, his clothes fluttered, and he still had the spirit of a fairy.And dressed in red, it looks different from usual.

However, when he got outside the mansion and saw the crowds on the street, but the monkey was alone, Qi Lian's heart sank suddenly, and he frowned suspiciously.

"joy."

At this time, a gentle and familiar voice came from the air, with a faint smile and affection.Qi Lian was stunned when she raised her head upon hearing the sound, and suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.

I saw that the sky was full of crimson orange morning glow, which was gorgeous.A hundred feet high in the sky, under the ray of light, Wukong was standing on a colorful auspicious cloud, wearing red brocade clothes, cloud boots, and golden armor, and stretched out his hand towards him with a smile.

The golden wristband is engraved with blooming peach blossoms, just like the first time I saw it.

"One day, I will become like the Monkey King, wearing a golden armor, riding auspicious clouds, and a peerless hero that everyone is looking forward to!"

The heroic words of youth echoed in my ears, and all the past came to my eyes, and all the grievances and sorrows along the way seemed to have become calm because of that man's smile.

"I originally planned to be a hero, but now it seems that being a 'hero' seems to be pretty good." Qi Lian commented with a smile, and didn't let Wukong wait too long, so he flew up and gently Put it in his palm.

Wukong pulled him and rubbed him into his arms, Qi Lian's red clothes were reflected in his golden eyes, like a fire was lit.Lifting Qi Lian's chin lightly, he kissed the corner of the person's mouth first, and then said softly: "Heroes belong to all living beings, but you..." After a pause, his tone became a bit serious, and he looked deeply into Qi Lian's eyes and said : "Just mine."

Qi Lian's face immediately seemed to be dyed by the morning glow in the sky, and a faint blush appeared, and he said: "There are still Yuelao and Si Ming here, Brother Changliu."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we go home." Wukong was reluctant to let go of Qi Lian, and held his hand carefully.He glanced lightly at the people on the ground, ignored them, carried him with somersaulting clouds, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Everyone: "The groom ran away with the groom, so... what are we guys doing here?"

What Wukong didn't expect was that the Huaguo Mountain at this moment was no cleaner than the outside.

All the gods and monsters heard the news of his wedding, no matter whether they received the invitation or not, they all came uninvited, crowding the mountain, wanting to ask for a glass of wedding wine, and even more want to see a monkey What should a wedding with a tree look like?

The two left the wedding team and went to Huaguo Mountain. Before they landed, when they saw the scene below from the sky, they couldn't help but stop talking and laughing, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly.

After a moment of silence, Wukong smiled wryly: "Why don't you... go to your Xishan mansion tonight?"

"It seems like this is the only way to go." Qi Lian shrugged and said with a smile: "The guests are entertained by Xingxing and Xiaozi, and they will not be neglected."

Wukong nodded and was about to go to the west mountain when he heard someone calling his name, it was Master Guanyin.

"Wukong, this Huaguo Mountain is your own mansion, how can the master hide when he sees the guests?" Master Guanyin said softly, with a gentle and compassionate smile on his face.

There are very few people in the world who can make Wukong obey, even Tathagata Buddha, he has disobeyed, but he has always respected Master Guanyin.

"Let's go down together. Bajie and Wujing are here, and so is Little White Dragon." Master Guanyin said, after a pause, "The golden cicada is also here. You five masters and apprentices have passed through thousands of years, and finally reunited." reunion."

"Alright." Wukong replied with a smile, secretly clenched Qi Lian's hand.

What Guanyin said is right, today is indeed the day when the five people reunite after 3000 years after the farewell to Xitian, but it is also the day when he and Qi Lian got married.Just now Guanyin deliberately emphasized the "five masters and apprentices", he didn't want Qi Lian to feel that he was an outsider.

Master Avalokitesvara also seemed to realize that what he said was inappropriate, smiled at Qi Lian, handed a green bracelet made of willow branches, and said: "This is for you, congratulations on your wedding with Wukong."

"This..." Qi Lian was startled, and looked at Wukong.

"I'll take it for you." Wukong took it for him, and took his left hand to put it on.Under Qi Lian's slightly puzzled eyes, he explained gently: "The sea god willow that grows in the jade bottle of Guanyin Dashi can drive away evil spirits and avoid taboos. No matter how many people want to ask for it, they can't get one."

Leaning closer to Qi Lian's ear, Wukong whispered: "I heard that the Taishang Laojun once made a bet with Guanyin in order to beg for it, but unfortunately he lost the bet, and went home and cried for three days holding the alchemy furnace. "

"Oh? There is such a thing." Qi Lian raised an eyebrow and couldn't help laughing.Holding back his smile, he said to Avalokitesvara: "That is really very precious, thank you, Master Avalokitesvara."

Seeing them whispering, Guanyin didn't feel left out, and looked at them lovingly.The three of them descended from the cloud together. The guests, headed by Jade Emperor and Jin Chan, were chatting. When they saw the three of them approaching, they stopped talking and greeted them.

The Jade Emperor's goatee grew again, and he was very happy to see Qi Lian. He walked over with a smile, took his hand and asked him if he was kind to him. He didn't like it at all.

Qi Lian answered one by one, the monkey is very good, and Huaguo Mountain is also good, and finally said: "Don't be so obsessed, old man, it's hard enough to take care of everything every day."

The Jade Emperor said: "The peach blossoms in the flat peach garden are blooming again. I am so happy. You have time to pick some, and then make some peach blossom wine for me."

Wukong's eyes fell on the Jade Emperor holding Qi Lian's hand, and he said not very friendly: "There are still some century-old wines in the wine cellar of Huaguo Mountain. If the Jade Emperor really likes peach blossom drunk, he can take some back when he leaves."

The Jade Emperor glanced at him and said calmly: "Monkey head, don't think that I came to Huaguo Mountain to sell your face, I came here for joy. Otherwise, don't you Huaguo Mountain think that Huanxi's natal family No one, bully him in the future!"

Wukong: "..."

It is said that old children are old children, and the Jade Emperor is getting younger and younger, but the man with a big beard has the temperament of a child.Wukong said in his heart, it's too late for me to love him, so why would I bully him?

Qi Lian was afraid that the two of them would quarrel while talking, so she hurriedly pulled Jade Emperor aside.From the corner of the eye, I saw Jin Chan, dressed in a plain cassock, with light eyebrows and eyes, nothing changed from his memory, but his expression was filled with compassion, and it was not the same as when we first met in Taoyuan thousands of years ago. That golden cicada who has nothing to worry about.

When Qi Lian calmed down the Jade Emperor's emotions, coaxed him back to the heaven, and then went to find the monkey, the five of them, the master and the apprentice, were reminiscing about the old days.Qi Lian wanted to go over to listen to the excitement, but before he got close, he was suddenly blocked by a person.

The fairy in front of me was tall and slender, wearing a black robe, with stern features and a heroic air, and he called him "Lianqing" as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Is the fairy friend...?" Qi Lian was taken aback, feeling that this title was familiar, but this face was unfamiliar.

Heipaoxian was also taken aback, and then said: "Sorry, I'm used to being called uncle in the world, I forgot that I should call you Cheng Xianjun now."

Qi Lian finally recalled it, and suddenly said: "Ah, Xiao Zhe, you are Qi Zhe. I can't recognize you because of your changed appearance. It's not because I forgot you."

Qi Zhe said: "Uncle, in fact, my name is not Qi Zhe, but 'Wuzhi Qi', and this is my original appearance. The previous appearance was fabricated by Si Ming at will."

Qi Lian nodded: "Yes, I can imagine that Mr. Si Ming likes to fabricate things that are contrary to the facts, he..."

"But my heart for you is true." Qi Zhe said again, "Lianqing, I am happy with you, even after 300 years, even if I have shed my mortal body and become a god guarding one side."

"..." So Qi Lian swallowed, almost biting off his own tongue.He dodged his eyes, glanced towards the monkey, and met Wukong's eyes that were gouged out like a knife. His heart shrank, and he hurriedly turned his head to avoid Wukong's sight, and said with an awkward smile: "Xiao Zhe, you Uncle Mo Ai, Uncle actually already has someone he likes. And you, shouldn't you fall in love with Ao Wang, the Fourth Prince of Xihai?"

"Si Ming really wanted to arrange it this way, but at that time I had no regrets for you, Lianqing, so the fourth prince had no choice but to retreat." Qi Zhe said, "And I knew that uncle had a favorite person, the one who has been living here all the time. Always stay in the Youfang Lang who detoxifies you in the palace."

"In fact, he is often kept. He is not Youfang Langzhong, he is the Monkey King." Qi Lian corrected, sweating silently in his heart, what is this fourth prince of Xihai doing?Why is it so easy to "get out of trouble" after chasing a wife? You deserve to be a single dog!

"Changliu is Monkey King?" Qi Zhe was obviously surprised, it seemed that Si Ming hadn't mentioned this to him yet.

Qi Lian nodded: "Exactly."

Qi Zhe took a look at Wukong from a distance, and saw that the other party finally couldn't sit still, and came this way.

"Huanxi, come here." Wukong said before approaching, declaring his sovereignty to Wuzhiqi.

Although Wukong's actions are quite childish, Qi Lian knows that if he doesn't follow the other party's wishes at this time, the other party may be awkward in his heart for several days.So he smiled helplessly, and walked obediently to Wukong's side, and it was a position where half of his body could be blocked just behind him.

Now that Wukong felt comfortable, he grabbed Qi Lian's hand and held it, squinting his eyes and looking at Qi Zhe coldly, with a half-smile and said: "Xiao Zhe, since you called Huanxi 'little uncle', shouldn't you also?" Call me 'Little Uncle'."

"Funny." Qi Zhe sneered, "Sun Wukong, do you think we are naturally at odds? I belong to water and you belong to fire. Not only do attributes resist each other, but even those we like have to fight."

"..." Qi Lian raised his forehead and said to himself: Silly boy, stop fighting, you can't compete with monkeys.

But he didn't intend to dissuade them, they could quarrel however they liked.According to Wukong's temperament, he will only give up when the matter has a real result, otherwise it will be useless to persuade others.

"My dear nephew, who gave you the confidence to come to Huaguo Mountain to snatch a marriage." Wukong said with a smile, but his eyes became colder.

With a sullen face, Qi Zhe said with one hand behind his back, "Today Lianqing is overjoyed, and I won't do anything to make him unhappy. But don't get too complacent, Monkey King, I don't know how to call 'little uncle'. won't bark."

Wukong said: "Since it's not a marriage robbery, what are you doing here?"

Qi Zhe turned around first, and walked towards the nearby forest: "Follow me, I have something to tell you about Uncle Jiu."

"Wait for me, I'll come when I go." Wukong turned around and gently hugged Qi Lian's shoulder, "I want to see what this kid is up to."

Qi Lian frowned worriedly: "Qi Zhe is more impulsive than you, if he shoots at you, you have to remember that you are an elder, don't really hit him."

Wukong's expression changed: "Jin Huanxi, aren't you?"

Qi Lian looked at Wukong with a resentful expression, and didn't dare to tease him anymore, and said more seriously: "Water defeats fire, compared to him, I am actually more worried about you."

Then Wukong laughed: "With your words, he can't hurt me. Don't worry, I won't hurt your dear nephew either."

After watching the two enter the forest, Qi Lian smiled and shook his head.Turning around, she met Shang Jinchan's cold eyes.

The smile stagnated for a while, and then widened, Qi Lian nodded, and said politely: "Jin Chan, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."

Jin Chan was expressionless, and said in a flat tone: "300 years ago when you were in the Daqi Kingdom, I went down to look for Wukong. I know that you were there in the bamboo forest that night."

Qi Lian smiled, "I'm indeed there, but I really didn't hear what you said at the time. Even if I did, it's been so long, and I really can't remember anything now."

"It's okay if you don't remember, it's not an important matter." Jin Chan smiled slightly, the corner of her mouth disappeared for a moment, and soon she became calm again.He said indifferently: "Today I came to Huaguo Mountain. Apart from asking for a glass of plain wine for your wedding and Wukong's wedding celebration, I also made a special trip to tell you that I have asked the Buddha to voluntarily enter reincarnation to save others with my body, and never return to the West Paradise. .So, if there are no accidents... I won't see Wukong again."

"Why...why did you say this to me?" Qi Lian was slightly stunned, staring at Jin Chan and said, "Jin Chan, you didn't decide to never see the Great Sage again just to make me feel at ease. If it's because of this You don’t have to, I’m not a jealous person.” After a pause, he said with a resentful smile, “…As a master and student as a friend, normal communication is allowed.”

"Oh." Jin Chan laughed and said softly, "You think too much."

Qi Lian raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Why is that?"

Jin Chan said: "Do you know that although Mahayana Buddhism has been spread in the world today, there are many people who are still in dire straits and who are obsessed with obsession? The world is suffering. I just don't want to see the struggle of all beings, so I want to enter the world to save people."

When she said this, Jin Chan's expression was cold and gentle, and Gu Shui Wubo's eyes were soft and compassionate.It seemed that he had really let go of all his personal affairs.If not, it's just hidden deeper, so deep that if one day thinks about it again, there will only be a sudden dream.

Qi Lian stared at him for a moment, then nodded slowly, and said sincerely: "Since the holy monk has made up his mind, I wish you all the best for your trip."

"Thank you, farewell." Jin Chan nodded and turned into a silver light.

He said he would go and come, until Jin Chan left, Wukong and Qi Zhe hadn't come back yet.It was quiet in the woods, and it didn't look like the two were fighting.There were a lot of guests, everyone was waiting to see Wukong and Qi Lian pay their respects, they were discussing lively, asking why the auspicious time hadn't arrived yet.

After seeing off Jin Chan, Qi Lian went to entertain and appease the guests.There are Bajie Wujing little white dragons, and all the immortals in the heavenly court, but there are more people who he has only heard of but have not had the chance to meet, such as the Bull Demon King and his wife, and the temple masters of Wuzhuang Temple. .

Before worshiping at the hall, after turning around and drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, Qi Lian was already a little tipsy, and his cheeks were very red and hot.Fortunately, Wukong came back before the auspicious time and blocked a large jar of wine from the Bull Demon King for him.

"Brother, I'm so happy that I can drink." Wukong held Qi Lian's back with one hand, and held him in his arms, regardless of whether the Bull Demon King agreed or not, he took the wine jar in his hand with a smile, and raised his head "Dong dong dong" drank it clean.

Noticing that Wukong came back by himself, Qi Zhe didn't follow, maybe because he was drunk, Qi Lian turned his head to look at Wukong, and felt that he seemed to be different from when he left, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Where's Xiao Zhe?" Qi Lian asked.

Wukong smiled and said, "Are you worried about him?"

Qi Lian said: "I'm his uncle, it's not too much to care about, right?"

Wukong said: "Well, he can't see you marrying someone else, so he left after talking to me."

"This child." Qi Lian sighed: "I have had many thoughts since I was a child."

At this time, Yue Lao shouted, "The auspicious time has come".When the sound fell, the entire Huaguo Mountain was in full bloom, and the flying peach blossoms floated to the sky, forming a pink ribbon, dancing through the clouds, and slowly emerged eight large characters——

"If you are happy, I will stay forever."

Although everyone doesn't understand what these eight characters mean, but the words, the situation, the scene, always make people feel extremely beautiful and wonderful.

But what disappointed them was that there was no such thing as "worship to heaven and earth" in Huaguo Mountain, only "husband and wife worship each other".However, it is not difficult to understand that the Monkey King does not believe in gods and Buddhas, so naturally he does not worship gods and Buddhas.

Only husband and wife pray to each other, so it's only the couple who pray to each other. Originally, it was the highlight.The open space in front of the Water Curtain Cave has long been arranged by the little monkeys to look like a small auditorium, with flowers strewn all over the ground and flower stands arranged on both sides.Surrounded by the crowd, Wukong took Qi Lian's hand and walked slowly.

Yuelao was the first to bear the brunt of the marriage and became the witness, saying: "Husband and wife pay respects."

The two turned around and looked at each other, with nothing in their eyes except each other. They looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled before slowly bowing down.There was applause all around, and some people followed suit, shouting "Kiss one, kiss one".

Qi Lian's face was stained red, and his slightly grown eyes showed a trace of nervousness and embarrassment, and he whispered: "Brother Changliu..."

"Hush—" Wukong turned his head and made a silent gesture to everyone.He saw the refusal and hesitation in Qi Lian's eyes, but still smiling, he wrapped his arms around his waist with one hand, lowered his head and pressed down on his slightly parted lips.

"Oh!" Qi Lian's pupils shrank.Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, Wukong's breath was burning hot, and his dry lips were also extremely hot, almost scalding him.

Seeing the court also worshiped, and the kisses were also kissed, and those people pushed forward again, and began to clamor about "entering the bridal chamber, entering the bridal chamber".Qi Lian thought: What kind of bridal chamber are you going to enter in broad daylight? !Feeling a loosening of the waist, I thought it was Wukong who wanted to let go of him, but who knew that the other party got down and picked up his legs and hugged him horizontally.

At the same time, there was a sharp pain in the corner of his mouth, and it was actually Wukong who bit his lips gently.Qi Lian didn't know what he did wrong to be bitten, because of the smell of alcohol, his clear eyes were covered with light water vapor.He blinked his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were so painful that tears welled up unconsciously. He wanted to ask a question, but his voice was blocked.Wukong didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and carried him straight through the waterfall and into the Water Curtain Cave.

Someone wanted to follow in to make trouble in the bridal chamber, but when he rushed into the waterfall, his head hit an invisible barrier with a "boom", and he fell all over his head. Only then did he realize that the Great Sage did not want to be disturbed by anyone, and had already set up a barrier.

But at this time in the Water Curtain Cave, Wukong put a mouthful of tender tofu on Qi Lian's lips, but it wasn't enough. Wuzhi Qi's half-serious and half-threatening words kept swirling in his mind: "I won't do anything to make Lianqing unhappy." But if you treat him badly, even if it makes him unhappy for a while, I will still take him away from you."

Although Wukong doesn't think that Wuzhiqi has the ability to snatch Qi Lian away from him.But he still can't stand the feeling of his beloved being being missed by others all the time, maybe only by swallowing the person in his arms and being integrated with him forever, can he feel a little more at ease.

After all, Wukong was still reluctant to tear people apart, but there was an evil fire in his heart that could not be released.So although his face was sullen, his movements were gentle and out of shape. He gently placed Qi Lian on the stone bed covered with white tiger fur, held his face in both hands, and couldn't help asking a bit stubbornly and childishly: "Jin Huanxi, tell me, am I the only one in your heart?"

With the stormy kiss and the alcohol, Qi Lian had already been in a mess, he pulled away Wukong's big hand, nodded his head in a daze, and said with a smile: "Yes——"

This smile was drunk, and it was different from his usual smirks, sneers, and embarrassing smiles. He was obviously thousands of years old, but he looked purely like a teenager, and it was so bright that it made people cry.Wukong stared at it for a moment, and his restless heart immediately calmed down and softened.

"That's right." Wukong grinned like a child, and gently tapped the tip of Qi Lian's nose with his index finger.

"Don't make trouble, Brother Chang, Changliu." Qi Lian wrinkled his nose itchingly, tilted his head to look around, and seeing no one, he reached out and grabbed Wukong's collar to force him to bow his head, his ears were red from embarrassment, He asked in a low voice, "Are they—are they all gone?"

"Not leaving." Wukong's voice became a little hoarse.

"No, no, no." Qi Lian shook his head like a rattle, "Many people are watching, Brother Changliu."

Throat and hair were dry, Wukong looked at Qi Lian's small eyes that kept turning, and finally couldn't help but kissed again, "The ones who lied to you are all gone."

Only you and I—

You are mine and I am yours;

If you are happy, I will stay forever.
