But said.

With Su Qing's help, Wang Mang successfully gathered more than 100,000 remaining soldiers and escorted Liu Xiu back to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Wang Mang beheaded Liu Xiu in public as a warning to others.

The effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was quite good this time. At least those aristocratic families calmed down and dared not make trouble with him anymore.

Then, Wang Mang punched in and signed in, and purchased the 'Human Basic Body Building Technique - Advanced Edition' in the group mall, and embarked on the road of cultivation.

Another "Interstellar Railgun D1" was purchased, which cut the Gordian knot and calmed the domestic chaos.

There were countless rebellions in the world, such as Dai County in Bingzhou, Guatian Yi in Kuaiji, Lu Mu in Langya, Li Zidu in Donghai, Zhang Ba in Nanjun, Yang Mu in Jiangxia, Wang Zhougong in Lujiang, etc. The number of people in these rebel armies varied, from several thousand to several thousand, and their scope of activities was not large, only one state.

But in terms of destructive power and strength, the Green Forest Army in the south and the Red Eyebrow Army in the north were the greatest.

First of all, there was the Green Forest Army in the south. This year, the Green Forest Army established its own regime and enthroned Liu Xuan, a member of the Western Han royal family, as emperor. The reign was named Gengshi, and it was known in history as the Gengshi regime. Liu Xiu was one of the leaders of the Green Forest Army.

Then there is the Red Eyebrow Army. Last year, Wang Mang sent his sons Wang Kuang and Lian Dan to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Red Eyebrow Army, but they were miserably defeated. As a result, the Red Eyebrow Army grew to more than 100,000 people, and its influence expanded to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou.

Under attack from both the north and the south, Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty was in danger and on the verge of collapse.

However, since Wang Mang joined the chat group, the Daxin Dynasty has regained its vitality.

With the help of the interstellar orbital cannon, Wang Mang quickly suppressed all these rebellious troops and regained power in the world.

After suppressing the rebellion, Wang Mang gave the throne to Crown Prince Wang Lin, abdicated and became the emperor emeritus, no longer interfering in worldly affairs.

Wang Lin was the second emperor. After taking office, he abolished many wrong decisions made by the previous emperor and regained the hearts of the people.

From then on, people's hearts were settled, the world was peaceful, the rivers were clear and the seas were calm, and the country was prosperous and the people lived in peace.

In a blink of an eye, while Su Qing was discussing Taoism with Tai Shang in the fairyland, a year had passed in the human world.

In this year, Wang Mang cultivated to the fourth level of golden elixir, was able to regain youth, and his lifespan reached 500 years.

After successfully practicing, Wang Mang thought about the Battle of Kunyang and realized that it was all caused by the monkey.

Of course, there is also the Buddha of the West.

But Wang Mang thought that he could not defeat Tathagata, so how could he dare to cause trouble for him?

The situation is different for monkeys. They are suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain and are at the mercy of others.

After a long time of silence, Wang Mang decided to settle accounts with the monkey. He couldn't swallow this breath! In the human world, Liangzhou, Jincheng County.

Last year, a huge mountain shaped like a palm suddenly fell from the sky and landed outside Jincheng County.

This mountain took root and joined together as soon as it landed, becoming a wonder of the entire Jincheng County.

At the beginning, many scholars and people from the surrounding areas came to visit and admire it.

Later, after a long time, people found that although the mountain was a thousand feet high, it did not have any beautiful scenery to speak of, and gradually no one came to visit it anymore.

On this day, the group of people went straight to the eastern suburbs, where the strange mountain with five fingers was located.

“Boom!”

Two gongs cleared the way, with flags like a forest behind them.

There was a flag with a black background and red characters inlaid with a golden dragon. A large seal character "新" floated on the flag. The people holding the flags were all big and strong, with solemn expressions on their faces.

In the middle of the team, eight snow-white horses pulled a royal carriage and slowly came to the Five Finger Mountain, followed by countless armored and spear-wielding Ti cavalry on horseback.

It was so majestic and solemn! The flags were waving and fluttering.

The imperial carriage was a huge carriage carved entirely from huanghuali wood and surrounded by heavy black curtains on all sides so that outsiders could not see what was going on inside the carriage.

The retired emperor Wang Mang, wearing a black dragon robe and a twelve-tassel crown on his head, sat in the carriage.

He led 10,000 imperial guards straight to the Five Finger Mountain just to settle accounts with the monkey.

Calculate the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops during the Battle of Kunyang !

In the Tushita Palace.

"Oh? This kid is so brave? Interesting."

Su Qing calculated with his fingers and figured out Wang Mang's purpose.

Wang Mang went to Wuzhi Mountain to settle accounts with the monkey. Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from Su Qing's eyes and ears.

"Is this your friend? Does he want to settle accounts with the monkey?"

Tai Shang naturally also saw what was happening in the human world below, and felt a little amused and helpless.

Strictly speaking, this monkey is his.

It was formed from an extra piece of colorful fairy stone when Taishang repaired the sky.

"Well, when Tathagata suppressed the monkey, he was affected. He will definitely seek revenge on the monkey."

Su Qing nodded, looked at Tai Shang with curiosity, and asked:

"Why did you push the monkey out and let it be one of the people who went to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures?"

He couldn't understand why Tai Shang treated the monkey like this since he was the ruler of the world?

"The monkey has a somewhat unruly temperament. It would be good to let him suffer a little."

Tai Shang spread his hands indifferently. He didn't care much about the monkey, nor did he want to talk more about the Journey to the West.

"Well, if you don't care, then I care even less."

Su Qing had nothing else to say, so he said, "Then my friend is going to settle accounts with Monkey, do you have any objection?"

"This is their karma. I won't interfere."

Tai Shang smiled indifferently, just joking, he was not that bored.

"What if I were to intervene?"

Su Qing raised his eyebrows.

"It's up to you. I won't feel bad for my fellow Taoist just for a monkey."

It doesn’t matter even more about the Supreme.

To him, the monkey is like a dog in his home, an insignificant character.

But Su Qing was at least his fellow Taoist and a guest from outside the domain, so he was naturally not comparable to a dog.

"Haha, you're too polite, fellow Taoist."

Su Qing nodded, said no more, and continued reading.

Below, the human world.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Five Finger Mountain!"

After a while, the imperial carriage stopped and an eunuch came outside to report.

When Wang Mang heard this, he quickly lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and stepped down from the imperial carriage.

When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I looked up at the huge mountain in front of me.

This mountain is more than a thousand feet high and shaped like five fingers, with an extraordinary and majestic appearance.

It can be clearly seen that at the top of the mountain there is a talisman emitting a mysterious aura, firmly attached to the mountain.

You know, Buddha Tathagata is not a good person.

It was not enough for him to suppress the monkey, he sent a land god and the Five Directions Jiedis to guard the monkey together at the Five Finger Mountain.

When it is hungry, feed it some iron balls; when it is thirsty, feed it some copper juice.

Tsk tsk, that was so miserable! The monkey was imprisoned for 600 years.

Wang Mang remembered that the original book said that the Five Finger Mountain descended from heaven to the earth when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.

According to the time calculation, the monkey was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain by Tathagata in the fourth year of Dihuang (23 AD) and was not rescued until the thirteenth year of Zhenguan (627 AD) of the Tang Dynasty!

No wonder he couldn’t even defeat some minor monsters on the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and he lacked the momentum he had when he caused havoc in Heaven.

After eating copper juice and iron pills for six hundred years, no matter how high the monkey's cultivation level, how deep his magic power, and how great his supernatural powers were, he would be almost ruined.

What a poor kid!

But thinking of the hundreds of thousands of troops he had lost, Wang Mang put away his sympathy for the monkey. The monkey was not worthy of sympathy!

Thinking of this, Wang Mang waved his hand and gave an order to the commander of the Imperial Guards behind him.

“Wow!”

At the commander's command, 10,000 imperial guards dispersed.

They formed teams of three or five and began searching around Wuzhi Mountain.

Wang Mang stood at the foot of the mountain, waiting patiently.

After half an hour, just when he was getting impatient, a group of soldiers finally came running back in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I have found the monkey head. It is at the foot of the mountain!"

Several soldiers knelt down and one of them spoke loudly.

"Found it? Haha, take me there quickly!"

Wang Mang's eyes lit up and he laughed out loud.

As the news spread, the commander of the Royal Guards ordered his men to recall the rest of the people and surround the location where the soldier had been found.

Soon after, a valley appeared in front of everyone. It was facing shade and away from the sun, with weeds growing on the gravel. It was the shady side of the Five Finger Mountain.

When he arrived here, Wang Mang quickly spotted the monkey.

At the bottom of the Five Finger Mountain, there is a small cave, revealing a monkey head covered with golden hair and a pair of monkey arms covered with golden hair. The rest of the body is pressed under the mountain.

At first glance, one would easily overlook it and would never imagine that the owner of the monkey head is the protagonist of the havoc in Heaven, the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

The monkey was born from an egg of five-colored fairy stone. He visited famous teachers everywhere and learned some skills from Patriarch Bodhi. Then he forced people to sell the Book of Life and Death, made trouble in the Dragon Palace to get the Golden Cudgel, made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, proclaimed himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, stole the peaches and golden elixir, and committed countless crimes. All the gods and immortals in the Heavenly Palace wanted to put him to death.

It is unruly, arrogant, and conceited. Before being pressed under the Five Finger Mountain, it thought it was invincible and looked down on everyone.

Now that it is imprisoned here, it has become extremely dilapidated.

With unkempt hair and dirty faces, he could only catch insects, rats, ants and birds to eat. It was truly horrible!

Wang Mang was very disappointed when he saw this scene. What he saw was really very different from the Monkey King in his mind.

"Are you the Monkey King Sun Wukong who failed to cause trouble in Heaven and was suppressed here in the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain?"

After coughing lightly, Wang Mang adjusted his dragon robe, walked forward, came to the monkey and asked.

The scene became quiet for a moment.

When Wang Mang and others arrived at the Five Finger Mountain, they were discovered by the monkey. Although its magic power was imprisoned in its body, it could not be used at all.

But don't forget that it was refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Laozi for 49 days, and it developed a pair of flaming eyes.

This is a great supernatural power. If you focus your eyes and use this power, you can break all illusions and make any changes visible.

With these eyes, the monkey could clearly see the magical power in Wang Mang's body and knew that he was a cultivator.

At this moment, hearing Wang Mang's words, it couldn't help but grin.

"Hey, I'm the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong! Boy, what can I do with your Grandpa Sun?"

It gave Wang Mang a disdainful smile and replied.

"Hey, it's you! I'm looking for you!"

Wang Mang laughed up to the sky. As long as he found the person, it would be fine. He was not afraid that you would deny it! "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, say it quickly. It's so annoying to keep dithering!"

The monkey flew into a rage and shouted, "Why, seeing that your grandpa Sun was in trouble, you came to see him make a fool of himself?"

"I'm here to settle accounts with you!"

Hearing the monkey's words, Wang Mang was furious and said hatefully:

"Back then, you caused chaos in the Heavenly Palace and fought against the Tathagata of the West Heaven, but it affected our Great Xin Kingdom and caused me to lose 400,000 elite troops!"

"Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

"Magic weapons, magical fruits, elixirs, and magical skills are all fine. I have a good appetite and have never been picky about food since I was a child!"

Wang Mang grinned and revealed the real purpose of looking for the monkey.

"???"

After hearing his words, a bunch of question marks popped up in the monkey's mind.

I understood every word he said.

But why can't I understand it when they are put together?

Fighting with Tathagata. Being affected. Paying compensation. “Hahahaha…”

The monkey laughed loudly.

As expected of a naturally clever monkey, it quickly figured out Wang Mang's intention.

This guy wants to take advantage of my misfortune and blackmail me.

"Mortal boy, are you still dreaming and haven't woken up yet? Or has Grandpa Sun been locked up for too long and his ears are in trouble?"

"You mean, when I, Sun, was fighting with Tathagata, you were also affected?"

"Then, you asked me, Old Sun, for compensation?"

"Return the magic weapons, magical fruits, elixirs, and magical secrets."

"Are you kidding me with your grandpa Sun?"

"If you have the guts, go find old Tathagata. What's the point of looking for me, Sun?"

"Why, seeing that I'm in such a bad state, you want to step on me?"

"You are just a mortal, are you worthy enough?"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Who do you think you are?"

After hearing Wang Mang's words, the monkey laughed wildly as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Oh? You mean he doesn't deserve it, then what about me, am I worthy?"

At this time, a long voice came from the sky. It was Su Qing who came here to maintain order after leaving Tushita Palace.

Tushita Palace.

"Hmph! Daoist friend, I'll go first."

Hearing the monkey's arrogant words, Su Qing's face turned pale and he snorted coldly.

He turned his head to look at Tai Shang, then stepped into the human world to calm down Wang Mang.

The monkey looked down on Wang Mang, which meant he looked down on Su Qing, so he naturally had to support Wang Mang.

"Haha, fellow Taoist, you are really too impatient, aren't you?"

Looking at Su Qing's receding figure, Tai Shang couldn't help but shook his head and let him go.

Five Finger Mountain.

With Su Qing's arrival, Wang Mang's face showed ecstasy.

"The Immortal has arrived. Wang Mang pays homage to him."

He hurriedly went forward and greeted Su Qing.

"Well, I'll come to calm down the situation for you and support you."

Su Qing nodded and said, "You can settle the score with Monkey. I will take care of all the trouble for you."

"Thank you, Immortal!"

Wang Mang nodded heavily and understood what Su Qing meant.

With Su Qing present, he can use all means at his disposal without having to worry about others causing trouble for him.

At this time, the Jade Emperor, Tathagata of the West and others looked over.
