"From now on, you will be the new nurse." Lin Qiye patted the pug's head, "Get along well with Lord Beile, don't swallow it into your stomach."
After saying that, Lin Qiye stood up contentedly and walked towards the second floor.
Bell Crand looked at the pug in front of him, who was wearing a tuxedo and had a devilish smile on his face, and fell silent...
"Boss." Pug smiled slightly, "Shall we go catch jellyfish?"
After saying that, it didn't wait for Bell Cland to refuse, but took it in its mouth, then ran happily to the toilet...
…
Lin Qiye held a pot of rice wine and stood in front of the door of the fourth ward.
After hesitating for a long time, he knocked on the door gently, then pushed it open and walked in.
In the center of the empty ward, the ancient ape in a cassock was still sitting there quietly like a stone statue, with his eyelids lowered and a faint Buddha's light flowing from his eyes. It seemed as if he had not noticed Lin Qiye coming in and remained motionless.
Lin Qiye walked to the opposite side of him and sat down cross-legged.
He placed two small bowls on the ground with his left hand, opened the lid of the rice wine bottle, and began to pour wine into it.
"The conditions in the hospital are limited, so we can only brew this ordinary rice wine, but it tastes good."
Lin Qiye handed a wine bowl to Sun Wukong, but the latter still had his hands clasped together like a stone sculpture, with no intention of taking the bowl.
Lin Qiye was not surprised by this. He naturally placed the wine bowl on the ground in front of the ancient ape, picked up his own cup and took a sip.
"If you don't let me call you Great Sage, then what should I call you?"
Lin Qiye said to himself:
"Fighting Holy Buddha?"
"Sun Xingzhe?"
"Sun Wukong?"
"Bima... um... never mind."
"Brother Monkey?"
Hearing the last two words, the rock-steady figure trembled slightly, and the Buddha's light around him rippled.
A gleam of light flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"Well, then I'll call you Brother Monkey." Lin Qiye slowly put down the wine bowl.
"Brother Monkey, do you know how popular you are in our Daxia?
Walking on the street, almost everyone recognizes you. Even children who haven't learned all the characters will read your stories bit by bit using pinyin...
You are a true national idol."
Lin Qiye picked up the wine bowl, took a big sip, and continued:
"I never thought that one day I would have the opportunity to sit in front of you and drink with you...
Even though it's just a one-man show.
Since you don't want to talk to me, I can only say a little more.
Let me tell you the story that has been circulated in Daxia. If there is anything that is different from the facts, you can interrupt me or give me a signal. "
Lin Qiye looked at the ancient ape, still showing no intention of answering, and continued to talk to himself:
"It is said that a long, long time ago, on the Flower and Fruit Mountain in Aolai Country in Dongsheng Shenzhou, there was a huge stone..."
Telling his story in front of the Monkey King was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but the best solution after Lin Qiye thought carefully.
From the sentence "Don't call me Great Sage", Lin Qiye could preliminarily infer that his illness was related to these two words. However, it was unrealistic to rely on the Great Sage himself to find out which link the problem lies, so Lin Qiye could only cast a wide net and read the entire Journey to the West, and then infer the problem through his reaction.
Simply put, Lin Qiye is using this method to find the "pain points" of the Monkey King.
Before coming to the Monkey King to drink and chat, Lin Qiye found time to review "Journey to the West" countless times, breaking down the relevant details in it and memorizing them bit by bit in his mind, which led to the current scene.
This is bound to be a long and tedious process, but in a sense, it is the most effective solution.
The rice wine in the pot gradually ran out.
Lin Qiye drank the last sip, licked his cracked lips, and his throat was a little hoarse.
He had been telling stories for nearly two hours straight, and he was the only one drinking the rice wine in the pot. During this time, the Monkey King did not move at all, as if he had really turned into a Buddha statue, detached from this world.
Lin Qiye glanced at the time and slowly stood up from the ground.
He held two wine bowls and an empty wine jug and let out a long sigh.
"Brother Monkey, it's almost time for today. I'll come and have a drink with you tomorrow."
He waved his hand and walked out of the ward. He did not forget to close the door after he left. The sound of his footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor.
I don't know how long it took,
In the ward, the ancient ape's drooping eyes slowly opened...
…
"Six."
"Four barrels."
"bump!"
"That's wrong."
Shen Qingzhu played a card and pushed over the mahjong in front of him. He glanced at Baili Pangpang, Cao Yuan, and Jia Lan who were sitting at the table, with a playful look in his eyes.
That look seemed to say, "That's all you got?"
The corners of Baili Pangpang's mouth twitched slightly.
"I don't want to play anymore, you guys are cheating!" Baili Pangpang said angrily, "It's been a whole morning and I haven't won a single round. Even Sister Jialan won a round..."
"..." Jia Lan's expression was a little unfriendly, "What did you say?"
"Uh... nothing." Baili Pangpang quickly admitted his mistake, "Let Qiye or Xiaoyuer play with you. I've lost enough."
Cao Yuan glanced at Lin Qiye who was dozing on the chair, and An Qingyu who was sitting on the coffin and staring out the porthole in a daze, and said quietly:
"Hacksters are not allowed to participate."
"What about sister Jiang Er?" Baili Pangpang turned his head and looked at Jiang Er who was sitting on a small stool and looking at cards.
"I can't touch the cards." Jiang Er's helpless voice came from the plane broadcast.
Baili Pangpang sighed helplessly, sat back at the mahjong table and continued to shuffle the cards.
"Two more and we'll reach Huaihai." Cao Yuan said, looking at the flight route.
"Huai Hai... I didn't expect that we would be back so soon."
Baili Pangpang glanced across the cabin and said with some emotion, "When we left, there were still five of us, but when we came back, there were seven."
"You forgot about Senior Sword Saint." Galan reminded.
"He is the team leader." Baili Pangpang paused, "However, without Senior Sword Saint here, I always feel like something is missing..."
“Without his kidnapper-like speech,” Cao Yuan added, “it’s actually quite interesting.”
"Yeah... I don't know if Team 007 will admit it if we go to them."
“…”
While a few people were chatting, the plane slowly landed on the tarmac.
Six people and a coffin got off the plane, got into the car arranged by Baili Pangpang, and drove straight to the 007 Night Watch Squad stationed in Huaihai City.
"Team 007 has eight members in total, the captain is at the Klein realm, the vice-captain is at the Wuliang realm, and the other members are at the Hai realm." Lin Qiye compared the documents and analyzed the situation of this challenge.
"In the most ideal situation, the captain of the Klein realm would not take action, and the others would fight us seven on seven...
If that captain joins the fight, our chances of winning will be slim.”
