Chapter 23 When needed
Li Ye glanced at the monkey who was hunching his head and feasting, "You haven't eaten such a delicious meal a hundred years ago."
The monkey raised his head and used to wanting to choke Li Ye for a few words, but after he opened his mouth, he immediately closed it. It was really the meat that the pot was so delicious that he didn't want to stop for a moment.
Su Emei stood up and served Li Ye a bowl of rice. Li Ye was about to pick up the food, but before the chopsticks could be reached into the plate, the monkey opened his arms and copied all the food in his arms. This was not enough. He even bent up to block most of the table, leaving Li Ye with no room to find.
Li Ye said speechlessly: "Sage, you have experienced strong storms at least. Should you make it like you have never seen the world for a table of dishes? Also, aren't you a vegetarian?"
Monkey huhns twice, without a single complete sentence. It seems that he has no intention of taking the time to respond to Li Ye.
Seeing Li Ye sighing helplessly, but unable to look like a monkey, Su E smiled. Although she didn't laugh out loud, her crescent-shaped eyes were full of gloating.
Li Ye had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and greet the door: "Instruct the chef to have a dinner party."
The guard's respectful response came from outside the door: "Yes, Your Highness!"
The meal was actually very rich, far exceeding the appetite of two ordinary people, but within a moment, the monkey wind swept away the clouds and swept it clean. Not to mention that there was no boiling left, the plates were clean, and people who didn't know thought they had washed it.
After eating and drinking, the monkey touched his raised belly and enjoyed it, and said unsatisfiedly: "This food is much better than peaches. I have eaten many delicious foods from places when I was seeking the scriptures. Looking back now, there is no food from any place so delicious. Unfortunately, it is just a little less, which is not enough to satisfy my cravings."
Li Ye said, "What the Great Sage of Love means is that I want me to make a meal for you every day?"
The monkey jumped to the windowsill and sat against the window frame. He took out a small toothpick-shaped branch from somewhere and picked his teeth. He looked very uncomfortable, "No, you misunderstood what I mean."
Before Li Ye could speak, the monkey continued, "One meal a day is not enough, you have to have three meals a day."
Li Ye looked at him speechlessly: "Can the Great Sage look forward to my house guarding me?"
The monkey sneered: "It is impossible to guard the house and protect the house. It is impossible to guard the house in this life. But if you cook the food well, I can stay here for a while. Of course, if you treat it with kindness, I will not eat you in vain. If you really have any trouble, I will block you."
Su Emei had already started to clean up the dishes. It was obvious that although the monkey rushed to eat all the food, her mood was not damaged at all, and her behavior was still delicate and moderate.
Li Ye asked the guards to bring a few pots of wine. Now there is no need to eat, so he has to drink some wine to satisfy his cravings. After hearing the monkey's words, he shook his head and said seriously: "If you want to make the Great Sage feel embarrassed, this is probably more difficult than seeking the scriptures."
"There is wine?!" The monkey smelled the fragrance of wine, jumped over from the windowsill, grabbed the wine pot from Li Ye, turned around and sat on the cleaned table, hugged the wine pot for a while, and sniffed his eyes intoxicated, "What a wine!"
As he said that, he raised his head and took a big sip. He didn't pay attention and coughed when he choked and slapped at Li Ye with his hand: "What kind of wine are you? Why are you burning people like this?"
Li Ye was prepared this time and quickly took out the second pot, "I brewed it myself, several times stronger than Jiannan Shaochun."
Although there are no precision instruments in this era, brewing high-altitude wine does not require much precision instruments, and Li Ye has long figured out the craftsmanship.
"Good wine, good wine!" The monkey smacked his lips and started his second and third sip with great joy, just like drinking water. The difference is that he had to breathe a sip of alcohol after taking a sip, and slapped his mouth with his hands a few times. Even so, he didn't mean to drink slowly.
Li Ye sighed: "The Great Sage has been in Huaguo Mountain for more than a hundred years, but I'm afraid I haven't eaten a bite of hot rice?"
The monkey didn't care and said carelessly: "Don't let go of the fun if you say these things!"
After returning from the Buddhist scriptures, the monkey was sad in Huaguo Mountain for more than a hundred years, and then he began to cheer up again. It is difficult to walk in the world.
A hundred years is not long, at least for monkeys, but a hundred years is not short. Anyone who is lonely for a hundred years will inevitably become mean. Immersed in loneliness is mean to be mean to himself. If he is mean to himself for a hundred years, he will not be so generous to others.
Soon the palace prepared a dinner to deliver it. This time, Li Ye had the foresight and directly removed the round table and set up three food tables so that the monkey would not take all the wine, meat and food alone.
It turned out that his actions were very wise. The monkey obviously had a big appetite and enjoyed eating.
After three rounds of wine, the monkey began to sway, and several wine pots were empty beside him.
Li Ye asked, "The Great Sage is coming back this time, I'm afraid it's not just for the sake of eating and drinking?"
"What is this? I am the Great Monkey King, so I need to eat and drink?" The monkey burped and stared at Li Ye with great displeasure. "It should be you who took the initiative to invite me to eat and drink."
After using the wine and food, Li Ye had already started drinking tea. Of course, there were monkeys, but the other party was obviously too lazy to drink tea.
After complaining, the monkey began to talk about the serious matter: "I think you have nothing to do during this period. It's time to go to the demon clan territory. If you can help the demon clan solve the problem of suppression of the immortal court, how much does the magic weapon cultivator need? Even if you face the Immortal Court Taoist soldiers, there is nothing to worry about."
Li Ye said: "I'm so eager to do this, but what can I do to lift the Immortal Court's suppression of the demon clan?"
The monkey stared at Li Ye and said, "How can I know if I haven't tried it? Besides, the princess's body is almost ready, and she is just the last magic weapon, the soul-determination bead. That thing is in the hands of the lion. I don't deal with him, you have to ask him for it yourself!"
"Dinghunting Soul-Suppressing Pearl? The Great Holy Lion Camel King of Moving Mountain?" Li Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this news.
During the battle of Fengqi Mountain, Wu You's body was destroyed and his soul was captured by the monkey, so he was spared from death. When Li Ye went to see the monkey last time, the other party said that he would reshape Wu You a body that was no less than Nezha, but he didn't expect it to be completed so soon.
The monkey collapsed on the ground, and his drunken eyes were almost unable to open: "It's that guy. This guy is not a good guy. He has always disagreed with the fact that the demon clan gets involved in your affairs with the immortal court. Although he agreed to enter the demon clan territory this time, it is hard to guarantee that he will not cause any stumbling blocks for you. Be careful."
Li Ye suddenly felt powerless: "That's the Daluo Golden Immortal, why should I be careful?"
The monkey had already fallen asleep and said the last sentence in a daze: "The princess will go with you...You Pinglu female donor, but she looks really not very good..."
Li Ye drank all the tea in the cup, left the house alone, and came to the roof to sit quietly.
The night breeze was slightly cool, mixed with the fragrance of the soil. Perhaps because of the monkey drinking some wine, the Xinghe seemed to be within reach. Li Ye reached out his hand in front of his forehead and clearly saw Qinghui slipping down from his fingers.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Some memories of this life couldn't help but emerge in his mind.
Under the old locust tree, when he was a child, he was a young man and squatted beside her, saying, "When I grow up, I will give you a city and marry you in this city."
Times have changed, and now he has the entire north of the Tang Dynasty east of the Yellow River, and has countless cities in his hand. Even if he wants to build a new city, it doesn’t take much time to give him a command.
A smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A few days later, Li Ye arranged Pinglu's affairs and went to Huaguo Mountain with the monkey. He did not bring anyone else, only Yoda Niao followed him as a guide.
......
In the early morning, dewdrops on the grass leaves were crystal clear in the sun. Su Emei, who had changed into a cloth dress, rolled up her sleeves, walked into the vegetable garden and started to remove the weeds. But this time, Li Ye was not squatting beside the vegetable garden and watching her.
Compared with ordinary crop fields, the weeds in the vegetable garden always grow very fast and more careful care is needed. Otherwise, no matter how much manure is, it will be absorbed by the weeds, and vegetables will not be able to grow well.
Just like when he was in the Baji Mountain, Su Emei never used her cultivation when she was busy in the vegetable garden.
In fact, she has nothing else to do except practice and awakening on weekdays. Now that Li Ye has left, she doesn’t even need to cook much. When she is quiet, she has to do some adjustments so that she won’t be lonely and bored.
More than an hour later, Su Emei straightened her waist and looked at the "newly refreshed" vegetable garden, showing a comfortable and satisfied smile.
"Senior Sister!" With a kind call, a fat figure fell beside the vegetable garden. Wei Xiaozhuang's greasy face fell into Su Emei's eyes. He smiled so hard that the fat meat piled up, and his nose and eyes were almost squeezed out. "Senior Sister, on such a hot day, are you 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 beside him and handed it to Su Emei, "Let's talk to Your Highness about the Taoist temple. Didn't Your Highness take the North into his command? I received a message from Your Highness a few days ago that Quanzhen Temple will also be built in various towns. I'll hear what specific arrangements Your Highness has."
Su Emei took the sweat towel and wiped the sweat beads, "Your Highness has left and gone to the demon territory."
Wei Xiaozhuang was stunned and followed Su Emei away from the vegetable garden and walked into the courtyard, "Your Highness didn't bring his senior sister?"
Su Emei smiled, a little bitter, "This time I'll be with Princess Li."
Wei Xiaozhuang suddenly said oh, understanding why the other party was feeling a little depressed. He immediately smiled and comforted: "Princess Li and Your Highness are childhood sweethearts. It is worth being together, but senior sister doesn't have to be lost. Your Highness treats you very well..."
Su Emei turned her head and glared at him, blushed and said, "What are you talking nonsense!"
Wei Xiaozhuang was embarrassed and comforting people was a little difficult for him. He simply changed the subject and said with a greedy look: "Senior sister, I'm hungry, do I have any food?"
"Qingzhou City is so big, you can walk around in most parts of the royal palace, but are you afraid that there will be no food to eat?" Su Emei said angrily.
Wei Xiaozhuang chuckled and said, "How could they taste good as the food made by their senior sister?"
"There is no food, there are a few steamed cakes in the kitchen."
"Okay, I'll get it now!"
After a while, Wei Xiaozhuang squatted on the stone steps in the corridor, and a few steamed cakes stuffed their cheeks bulged. Looking at Su Emei who was practicing swords in the yard, he said with regret: "Senior Sister, Your Highness is in the Immortal Realm. When will we achieve the Immortal Realm?"
Su Emei looked focused and said without saying: "When your Highness needs it."
