Hearing this voice, Lin Qiye's heart skipped a beat and he turned around to look.

The person who came was none other than Taibai Jinxing, whom he had met once before.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, put down the immortal wine in his hand, and came in front of Taibai Jinxing in a flash, with half of his cassock fluttering in the wind. He reached out and grabbed Taibai Jinxing's collar, staring at him with those eyes full of oppression:

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it was you, old fellow..."

"Great Sage? Really the Great Sage?" Taibai Jinxing's eyes widened, "Great Sage, you're back?!"

"Old man, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Just pretend that you haven't seen me today, and don't tell anyone... Do you understand?" Sun Wukong said viciously.

Lin Qiye was staring at Sun Wukong's back from a distance. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Sun Wukong at this moment seemed to be different from the Fighting Buddha who had just opened the ward and was shining with Buddha's light... There was also some shadow of the Monkey King on him.

"I understand. I understand."

Taibai Jinxing nodded repeatedly.

When Sun Wukong let him go, Taibai Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief, "Great Sage, after a hundred years of not seeing you, how come you've become your old... uh, old, carefree self again? Also, when you returned to heaven, why didn't you go to the Lingxiao Palace, but came here instead?"

Taibai Jinxing walked past Sun Wukong, his eyes fell on the two wooden boards with inscriptions, and he was suddenly stunned.

He turned to look at Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, are you here to erect a monument for them?"

"No?" Sun Wukong frowned slightly.

"Of course you can, but..." Taibai Jinxing hesitated to speak.

"Just what?"

"Hey, Great Sage, and little friend Lin... follow me."

Taibai Jinxing waved his whisk, summoned a white cloud, and stepped on it.

Sun Wukong frowned even more tightly.

"Great Sage, come with me, I'll take you to a place." Seeing that Sun Wukong was standing there motionless, Taibai Jinxing shouted again. Sun Wukong was silent for a moment, then he bent down to pick up the black bag on the ground, and followed him onto the white cloud.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You'll know when you go there."

Taibai Jinxing waved his whisk again, and the three figures quickly disappeared into the horizon.

…

Soon, they slowly landed in the central area of ​​the Heavenly Palace.

This is a Taoist temple lined with magnificent sacred steles carved from white jade. There are not many jade steles, only six or seven at a glance, but each one is dozens of meters thick and over a hundred meters high, with a faint white halo rippling in the sunlight.

Sun Wukong was somewhat unfamiliar with this area. He could confirm that there was no such place in heaven a hundred years ago.

Sun Wukong walked down from the cloud and looked around at the towering white jade sacred steles. He was about to frown and say something, but his eyes fell on two of them and his pupils contracted slightly.

Lin Qiye followed behind him and was also stunned when he saw the gold-plated words on the surface of the two white jade tablets.

——Zhu Wuneng, the great general guarding the country and the messenger of the altar in the west.

——Sha Wujing, the golden-bodied Arhat from the West, the guardian general of Daxia.

Taibai Jinxing dispersed the mist and walked slowly to the two of them. He stroked his white beard with a smile and said:

“After the restoration of the origin of the Heavenly Palace was completed and the gods of Daxia returned, the Jade Emperor ordered people to create these jade tablets of merit, and posthumously conferred the title of national guardian generals on the gods who died in the fog a hundred years ago, and erected them here to commemorate their achievements.

Great Sage, if you want to worship them, you can do so here...

That little hill is so shabby.”

Sun Wukong was holding a black bag, standing blankly under the two glittering jade tablets, two lines of tears flowing from his red eyes, and his body was shaking slightly under the half-covered cassock.

"Okay..." He opened his lips slightly and uttered a word hoarsely.

Sun Wukong bent down and took out the magical wine and fruits from the black bag again and placed them in front of the two jade tablets one by one.

"Xingjun, let's go first." Lin Qiye felt mixed emotions. He retracted his gaze and said to Taibai Jinxing beside him.

Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Okay."

The two men turned around and walked away from the Jade Stele Forest.

At the edge of the jade stele forest, Lin Qiye couldn't help but look back again.

I saw that familiar figure holding a pot of immortal wine, shaking it towards the sky, then taking a big gulp, and then pouring it all in front of the jade tablet, laughing:

"The old Jade Emperor still has some conscience, so let's share some of the wine with him. Idiot, Lao Sha, let's not go home until we are drunk today!"

In the lonely and deserted forest of jade steles, there was only the half-Buddha, half-demon figure, sitting in front of the stele, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, as if crazy.

…

No one knew that at this moment, outside the Lingxiao Palace, two figures were looking at this place from afar.

"This naughty monkey...is back after all." Yuanshi Tianzun said with a faint smile, his hands behind his Taoist robe.

"I didn't realize you valued him so much." Fatty Baili said with emotion, "You also sent Taibai Jinxing, right?"

Yuanshi Tianzun slowly closed his eyes, "It is my Heavenly Court that owes him too much..."

"Let's not worry about the monkey for now."

Baili Pangpang turned his head to look at Yuanshi Tianzun and stretched out a hand.

"What to do?" Yuanshi Tianzun asked puzzledly.

"I want something."

"Hmm?" Yuanshi Tianzun raised his eyebrows, "Which one?"

Baili Pangpang opened his mouth and said a name.

"What do you want it for?" Yuanshi Tianzun's face was filled with even more doubts.

"Send it to someone, isn't it okay?"

"Of course, that thing originally belonged to you, I just kept it for you temporarily." Yuanshi Tianzun turned around and walked away.

"Come with me."

…

Dusk time.

In the courtyard.

Lin Qiye was holding up two horizontal bars, sweating profusely.

A shadow flew across the sky, turned into a dark golden shadow, and flashed into Lin Qiye's body.

Lin Qiye was stunned and immediately stopped what he was doing.

Is Sun Wukong back?

Lin Qiye sank his consciousness into the Gods Mental Hospital and saw that Sun Wukong had indeed returned to the hospital. He finally felt at ease.

He left Sun Wukong alone in the jade stele forest for a whole afternoon and was a little worried at first, but judging from Sun Wukong's condition, this worry seemed a little unnecessary.

"Hey, you!"

Sun Wukong stood at the edge of the hospital courtyard, looking at Gilgamesh who was resting on the second-floor railing, and raised his chin, "What are you looking at?"

Gilgamesh's eyes narrowed slightly.

He jumped from the second floor to the courtyard, moved his neck slightly, and his gray robe fluttered without wind. A deep voice rang out, "You bastard monkey...are you provoking me?"

Sun Wukong did not speak, but just stood in the center of the courtyard. In his eyes, bright golden light burned like a torch. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. After venting his emotions for the whole afternoon, he seemed to be longing for a hearty battle.

Two terrifying fighting intentions surged and collided like surging waves.

At this moment, Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the top of Sun Wukong's head, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"Sun Wukong treatment progress: 88%"
