Chapter 23: When the Need Arises
Li Ye glanced at the monkey who was immersed in feasting, "You haven't eaten such a fragrant meal a hundred years ago." ”
The monkey raised his head and habitually wanted to choke Li Ye, but after he opened his mouth, he immediately closed it. It's really that the meat in the pot is so delicious this time, he doesn't want to stop for a moment.
Su Emei got up and went to serve Li Ye a bowl of rice, Li Ye was about to pick up the vegetables, but before the chopsticks reached the plate, the monkey opened his arm and copied all the dishes in the crook of his arm. This was not enough, he even bent up to block most of the table, so that Li Ye had no space to find at all.
Li Ye was speechless and said: "Great Sage, you are also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, do you want to make it seem like you have never seen the world for a table of dishes? Also, aren't you a vegetarian?"
Monkey En'en snorted twice, without a complete sentence, and it seemed that he didn't plan to take the time to respond to Li Ye.
Seeing Li Ye sighing helplessly, but couldn't look like a monkey, Su E frowned, although she didn't laugh, her crescent-shaped eyes were full of schadenfreude.
Li Ye had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and greeted the door: "Tell the cook, make a dinner." ”
Outside the door, the guard replied respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness!"
The meal was actually very rich, far exceeding the amount of food for two ordinary people, but within a moment, the monkey swept away. Mo said that there was not even hot left, the dishes were all clean, and those who didn't know thought they had washed it.
After eating and drinking, the monkey touched the bulging belly and enjoyed his face, and said unsatisfactorily: "This meal is much better than the peach." I have eaten a lot of local food when I was studying it, but in retrospect, there is no place where the food is so delicious. It's a pity, it's just less, not enough to satisfy your hunger. ”
Li Ye said: "What does the Great Sage of Feelings mean, do you want me to cook you a meal every day?"
The monkey jumped on the windowsill and sat against the lattice, pulling out a toothpick-shaped twig out of nowhere and picking his teeth, looking uncomfortable, "No, you misunderstood me." ”
Without waiting for Li Ye to speak, the monkey continued: "One meal a day is not enough, you have to eat three meals a day. ”
Li Ye looked at him speechlessly: "Could it be that the Great Sage wants to show me the family nursing home?"
The monkey sneered: "It is impossible to take care of the home and the home, and it is impossible to take care of the home and the home in this life." But if you cook well, I can stay here for a while. Of course, if you make me feel embarrassed by your hospitality, I won't eat you for nothing. If you really have any trouble, I'll get you in the way. ”
Su Emei had already begun to clean up the dishes, and it could be seen that although the monkey rushed to eat all the food, her mood was not damaged at all, and her demeanor was still delicate and measured.
Li Ye asked the guards to send a few pots of wine, and now that he has no food to eat, he has to drink some wine to satisfy his hunger first. After listening to the monkey's words, he shook his head and said seriously: "To make the Great Sage feel embarrassed, this difficulty is only greater than learning the scriptures." ”
"There is wine?!" The monkey smelled the fragrance of wine, jumped over from the windowsill, snatched the wine jug from Li Ye's hand, turned around and sat down on the table that had been cleaned up, holding the wine jug and smelling it for a while, his intoxicated eyes narrowed, "Good wine!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and took a big sip, but he didn't pay attention, choked and coughed, and glared at Li Ye with his hand: "What kind of wine are you, why are you so burning?"
Li Ye had already prepared this time, and quickly took out the second pot, "I brewed it myself, which is several times stronger than Jiannan Burning Spring." ”
Although there are no precision instruments in this era, there is no need for precision instruments to brew high-grade wine, and Li Ye has long figured out the process.
"Good wine, good wine!" the monkey smacked his mouth, and began the second and third sips very happily, the same as drinking water, the difference is that he has to spit out a mouthful of wine after taking a sip, and he fanned his mouth a few times with his hand, Rao is so, and he has no intention of drinking slowly.
Li Ye sighed and said, "The Great Sage has been in Huaguo Mountain for more than 100 years, I'm afraid I haven't eaten a bite of hot rice, right?"
The monkey didn't care, and said with a big grin: "What are you talking about, don't be disappointed!"
After returning from the scriptures, the monkey was sad in Huaguo Mountain for more than 100 years, and then he began to regain his strength and walk the world, which can be said to be very difficult.
A hundred years is not a long time, at least for monkeys, but a hundred years is not a short time, and anyone who has been lonely for a hundred years will inevitably become mean. Immersing yourself in loneliness is to be mean to yourself. If you are mean to yourself for a hundred years, you will not be so generous to others.
Soon the palace prepared a dinner party, and this time Li Ye had the foresight to directly withdraw the round table and put three food tables, so as not to be covered by the monkey again.
His actions proved to be wise, and the monkey clearly had a great appetite and ate with great pleasure.
After three rounds of drinking, the monkey began to stagger, and several flasks were already empty beside him.
Li Ye asked: "The Great Sage came back this time, I'm afraid it's not to eat and drink, right?"
"What kind of words are these!, I am a Monkey King, I need to eat and drink?" the monkey burped, shook his head and stared at Li Ye very unpleasantly, "It should be you who take the initiative to beckon me to eat and drink." ”
After using the wine and food, Li Ye has already started to drink tea, of course, there are monkeys, but the other party is obviously too lazy to taste tea.
After complaining, the monkey began to get down to business: "I see that you have nothing to do during this time, it's time to go to the demon clan's territory." If you can help the demon clan solve the problem of suppression by the Immortal Court, how many magic weapon monks will still have? At that time, even if you face the Dao soldiers of the Immortal Court, there will be nothing to worry about. ”
Li Ye said: "I would like to do this, but how can I lift the suppression of the demon clan by the Immortal Court?"
The monkey glared at Li Ye and said, "How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Besides, the county lord's body is almost molded, and the last magic weapon is missing. That thing is in the lion's hands, I don't deal with him, you have to ask him yourself!"
"Soul Fixing Soul Bead?Moving Mountains Great Holy Lion Camel King?" Hearing this news, Li Ye's eyes lit up.
In the battle of Fengqi Mountain, Wu You's body was destroyed, and his soul was taken away by a monkey to save him from death. Last time, when Li Ye went to see the monkey, the other party said that he wanted to reshape Wu You's body no less than Nezha, but he didn't expect it to be completed so soon.
The monkey collapsed on the ground, and his hazy drunken eyes were about to open: "That's it." This guy is not a good stubble, and he has always disagreed with the demon clan to get involved in the matter between you and the fairy court, although this time he agreed to let you enter the territory of the demon clan, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not give you a stumbling block. Be careful yourself. ”
Li Ye suddenly felt powerless: "That's Da Luo Jin Xian, how can I be careful?"
The monkey had already fallen asleep, and said the last sentence in a daze: "The county lord will go with you...... You female benefactor of Pinglu, but you don't look very good......"
Li Ye drank all the tea in his cup, walked out of the house alone, and came to the roof to meditate.
The night breeze is slightly cool, mixed with the fragrance of earth. Perhaps because he drank some wine with the monkey, the galaxy seemed to be within reach, Li Ye stretched out his hand in front of his forehead, and clearly saw Qinghui slipping down from between his fingers.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
He couldn't help but think of some memories of this life.
Under the old locust tree, when he was a child building a mud city, he said to her, who was also young, squatting beside her with dirty hands and face: "When I grow up, I will give you a city and marry you in this city." ”
Time has passed, and now he has the entire northern part of the Tang Dynasty east of the Yellow River, and he has countless cities in his hands. Even if he wanted to build a new city, he only needed an order, and it wouldn't take much time.
A smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A few days later, Li Ye arranged the affairs of Pinglu and went to Huaguo Mountain with the monkey. He didn't take anyone else with him, only Yoda as a guide.
......
In the early morning, the dew drops on the blades of grass are crystal clear in the sun. Su Emei, who changed into a linen cloth skirt, neatly rolled up her sleeves and walked into the vegetable garden to start pulling weeds. It's just that this time, there is no Li Ye squatting by the vegetable garden looking at her.
Compared with ordinary crops, weeds in the vegetable garden always grow exceptionally fast and abundantly, and need more careful care, otherwise no amount of manure will be absorbed by the weeds, and the vegetables will not grow well.
Just like when she was in Dustpan Mountain, Su Emei never used cultivation when she was busy working in the vegetable garden.
In fact, she doesn't have anything else to do on weekdays except for cultivation and awakening, and now that Li Ye is gone, she doesn't even need to cook much. When it's quiet, you have to do something to adjust so that you don't get lonely and bored.
After more than an hour, Su E straightened her waist and looked at the "new" vegetable garden, showing a relieved and satisfied smile.
"Senior sister!" With a cordial call, a fat figure fell next to the vegetable garden, Wei Xiaozhuang's greasy face fell into Su Emei's eyes, he laughed so hard that the fat was piled together, and his nose and eyes were almost squeezed out, "Senior sister, on such a hot day, you are still busy in the vegetable garden?"
Su Emei wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled: "Why are you here?"
Wei Xiaozhuang took down the sweat towel on the branch next to him and handed it to Su Emei, "Come and tell Your Highness something about the Taoist temple." Didn't His Highness bring the north into his command, and a few days ago I received a summons from His Highness that the Quanzhen Temple will also be built in various towns, and I will listen to the specific arrangements of His Highness. ”
Su Emei took the sweat towel and wiped the beads of sweat, "Your Highness has already left and gone to the territory of the demon clan." ”
Wei Xiaozhuang was stunned, followed Su Emei out of the vegetable garden, and walked into the courtyard, "Your Highness didn't bring your senior sister with you?"
Su E smiled, a little bitter, "This time, I have Lord Li with me." ”
Wei Xiaozhuang suddenly sighed, understanding why the other party was a little depressed, he immediately smiled and comforted: "Lord Lijun and His Royal Highness are childhood sweethearts, they should be together, but Senior Sister doesn't have to be disappointed, Your Highness is also very good to you......"
Su E turned her head and glared at him, blushing and said, "What nonsense!"
Wei Xiaozhuang scolded his head, it was a little difficult for him to comfort people, he simply changed the topic, and said with a greedy face: "Senior sister, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"Qingzhou City is so big, you can walk freely in most places in the palace, and you are afraid that you will not have anything to eat?" Su Emei said angrily.
Wei Xiaozhuang sneered: "How can they have delicious food cooked by senior sister?"
"There were no meals, and there were a few steamed cakes in the stove. ”
"Okay, I'll go get it!"
After half a ring, Wei Xiaozhuang squatted on the stone steps of the corridor, and a few steamed cakes stuffed his cheeks into bulging, looking at Su Emei, who was practicing swords in the courtyard, and said with amazement: "Senior sister, Your Highness is in the fairy realm, when will we also achieve the fairy realm?"
Su Emei's expression was focused, and she didn't reply: "When His Highness needs it." ”
