The Monkey King

Xuanzang seemed to be really crazy, at least, that was what the entire westbound team felt.

The original serious expression was no longer visible, and was replaced by a heartless smiling face. He would secretly guard the door of people's houses, jump in when the other party opened the door, and then try his best to persuade the other party and ask the other party to allow him to recite sutras for the deceased.

A monk with a serious face and a serious expression would not agree with the other party. A monk with a playful smile and no serious expression would naturally end up being kicked out of the house with a broom.

Several times, the black bear spirit wanted to step forward to help or even scold the people, but was stopped by the monkey. In the end, the black bear spirit can only act anxiously.

Xuanzang's behavior was completely beyond the scope of the monkey's understanding. It felt like... self-abuse. But the smile on his face was clearly sincere, making it impossible to find any trace of falsehood. Combined with this situation, it is so incredible.

Does Purdue need this? The monkey really couldn't understand it.

At the moment, there seems to be no other explanation other than madness.

Canopy, who had always been rational, was also helpless at this moment.

Everyone looked at each other, and in the end they could only sigh.

The strange thing is that when Xuanzang was kicked out of the house, he didn't even forget to order food from the household. Most of the time, it's not possible, and it may even result in a more violent scolding, but sometimes, it really comes to something. This makes people really unable to understand whether his constant visits are for chanting sutras or for alms.

The black bear spirit is not allowed to find food, but why should it be used for alms in this way at this time?

It's ridiculous to the extreme.

The night gradually deepened.

The lights went out one by one, and the entire capital fell into darkness. The whistling sound of the wind was like the wail of an evil spirit.

In order to prevent Xuanzang's harassment, some families where the corpses were parked even turned off the oil lamps that had to be lit according to custom.

On a cold rainy night, Xuanzang, who had nowhere to go, walked back and forth on the empty streets like a wandering ghost, doing some incredible things.

He would run into the rain and meditate quietly, letting the rain soak his clothes, and then run to the corner and shiver. Immediately afterwards. After finally drying up, he ran into the rain again...

He would soak the pancakes he collected in the standing water on the roadside, and then watch them with interest until they were soaked. I just picked it up and tasted it carefully, but my expression seemed to be tasting some delicacy...

He would tear open the scar on his wound and let the blood drip down his fingertips little by little, and then he would watch carefully until the blood solidified again...

All kinds of actions. Everyone who watched Xiexing was frightened and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Is this still the same Xuanzang who took him out from the foot of Five Elements Mountain and insisted on attaining enlightenment? Maybe the blow this time is really big, but...

The monkey really couldn't figure it out, so his hand holding the golden hoop loosened and tightened again.

The black bear spirit asked anxiously: "Great Sage, what should we do next?"

"No one is allowed to leave." The monkey replied without hesitation.

"I'm not leaving." Xiao Bailong said leisurely: "Are we just watching like this? I still have some faith in the former Master Xuanzang who can prove the Tao. Now... it's good if I don't play to death. We're afraid our trip will be in vain."

"Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Monkey glared at him fiercely.

When the monkey asked him this question, Xiao Bailong automatically ignored the look of disdain in the monkey's eyes and became even more enthusiastic. He walked over, rolled up his sleeves and said, "How about we go find Laojun? There is no solution for losing one's mind and madness in the mortal world, and it is actually difficult to deal with it in heaven. However, if it is Laojun or Patriarch Subhuti, If we take action, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

The monkey stared at the little white dragon.

After a while, Xiao Bailong had no choice but to withdraw his attention and look away boredly.

Canopy's eyes slowly tilted toward the monkey, and the two looked at each other, but neither spoke in the end.

Is Xuanzang really crazy? It looks like it, but in the heart of a monkey. Not really sure.

At least according to what the monkey knows, Xuanzang will definitely be able to reach Lingshan and achieve enlightenment in the end. This is the monkey's biggest gamble yet.

Countless times in the past, the monkey struggled. He dreamed of transcending the "Journey to the West". However, he experienced the Water Curtain Cave, the Monkey King, becoming a disciple, breaking into the Dragon Palace, making trouble in the underworld, making trouble in the heaven, and being suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain... In the end, what did he change?

Everything is like fate and there is no escape. Can't hide.

In this case, let's put all our bets on this. Will it fail this time?

The monkey smiled silently.

Looking at Xuanzang now, he found that his original decision was so ridiculous. If he told it, the reputation of the great Sage Qitian would be ruined.

But, what if this is not the case?

Tathagata is like a sword hanging above his head. As long as he is alive, the scene more than 600 years ago may happen again at any time. Anyone who is close to him may die because of a thought from Tathagata, and he will be helpless...

Even if Tathagata is a heavenly cultivator, even if he cannot kill him or overthrow him, how can he survive in this world peacefully?

Supporting Xuanzang's journey to the west was his only way out at the moment.

But, how should we go down this road?

Thinking about it, the monkey couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

He quietly turned around and walked behind him, found a corner, and picked up the jade slip.

"Have you returned to the temple?"

…

In the cave with three stars under the slanting moon, Qingxin holds the jade slip and blinks her eyes.

After a while, she replied hesitantly: "Back...back."

The lips were trembling slightly.

From the other end of the jade slip, a monkey's voice came: "Is everything okay?"

"It's... not bad."

"Have you met the master?"

"I saw it." Qingxin pursed her lips and said softly: "Master asked me to stay in the Taoist temple during this period, and he will be there. He said...it's dangerous outside."

"He's right, you should stay well and don't have any more accidents. I'm responsible for this big thing, and you... must never have any more accidents."

…

In the dark alley, the monkey put down the jade slip and walked back step by step, reaching out and tugging at the corner of the canopy.

When Tianpeng turned around, he saw that the monkey had already walked away a few steps. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to follow.

…

In the cave with three stars under the slanting moon, Qingxin stared at the jade slip in his hand, pursing his lips. Smiling sweetly. That face was filled with happiness.

Que'er and Feng Ling sacrificed their lives for this tenderness.

At this moment, she suddenly felt whether there were flowers on the moon tree and whether there was love in her heart. It wasn't as important as she first thought.

Isn't this warmth what she has always been pursuing?

In the distance, Agarwood, lying next to the window lattice, sniffed and had a puzzled look on her face.

…

After casting a silence technique, the monkey asked in a low voice: "Do you have... any ideas?"

Tianpeng looked back at Xuanzang, who was sleeping under the eaves, tightly wrapped in a blanket and shivering, and slowly shook his head.

After coughing twice, the monkey whispered: "I actually thought about what that guy Ao Lie said just now. Laojun, forget it, it's a soul-stirring thing. It's really not fun. If you are wronged... maybe... It would be a good choice to find my master. At least I dare not say anything else. We are definitely a united front on the matter of heading west, and we should not play any tricks. "

The canopy watched the monkey silently.

After sniffing twice, Monkey continued: "However, I thought about it and felt it was inappropriate."

"Why?"

"Qingxin is at Xianyue Sanxing Cave. The six-eared macaque has already appeared. If the master is not at Xieyue Sanxing Cave, I'm afraid she will be in danger. No more accidents can happen..."

Tianpeng raised his head and thought for a moment, nodded in understanding, and said: "Indeed, if your other soul is already in its prime state. If Patriarch Subhuti doesn't rely on the mountain-protecting array, I'm afraid he really won't be his opponent. More Forget about your junior sister, she might not even be able to catch a single move."

Looking back at Xuanzang again, Tianpeng sighed softly: "Anyway... Master Xuanzang didn't do anything extraordinary. To say that he is crazy is just our own imagination. The matter of enlightenment. Really. It’s not something we can guess at will. Let’s take it one step at a time.”

The monkey nodded silently.

At this time, at the corner of the street, several cultivators from Kunlun Mountain were walking by, and one of them was looking towards Xuanzang's position intentionally or unintentionally.

…

Late at night, Kunlun Mountain, Jinguang Cave.

A monk hurriedly walked into the hall, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed: "Master, all masters and uncles, please send a secret report from France. That Xuanzang has gone crazy!"

"Crazy?"

For a moment, all the golden immortals in the hall were in an uproar.

"Is this true?"

Master Taiyi quickly stood up, but he lost his balance and almost fell down. Master Yuding on the side took action to hold him up.

There were a total of eight golden immortals present. In addition to the seven people who participated in the sneak attack on the monkey, there was also a real person named Yuding.

"This is absolutely true." The monk quickly took out a piece of intelligence from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"Quick! Bring it to me and take a look!" When receiving the spy report, Master Taiyi's hands were trembling with excitement. All the brothers and sisters beside him also opened their eyes wide, but Master Yuding frowned, doubtful.

"Hahahaha! Cough cough cough..." Holding his chest, Master Taiyi coughed violently, but still wanted to laugh. He reached out and handed the spy report he had just read to Master Huang Long, and then it fell into Guangchengzi's hands. .

Everyone smiled happily after reading the intelligence report.

"Good guy! I didn't expect that Xuanzang would be so vulnerable!"

"Four taels can bring a thousand catties! Four taels can bring a thousand catties!"

"Master, it's really a clever plan. With just one simple move, Xuanzang went crazy! Let's see how that monster monkey still learns from the scriptures!"

"After all, he is a master. He is thoughtful and foresighted, and there are no omissions left!"

Master Yuding on the side broke into a cold sweat and stretched out his hand to grab the spy information, but he couldn't do it too obviously.

With great difficulty, the spy finally fell into the hands of Master Yuding.

…

After about a stick of incense, Master Yuding found an excuse and left the hall. Full of anxiety.

"Uncle Yuding."

The Taoist disciple guarding the door saluted him respectfully, but Master Yuding had no time to care about anything else.

Quickly leaving the perception range of Master Taiyi, he almost jogged all the way out of the Golden Light Cave, jumped into the air, and rushed straight towards Huashan.

This flight was very fast. Master Yuding, who had been accustomed to living a leisurely life for hundreds of years, was sprinting with almost all his strength. In a blink of an eye he had arrived at Mount Huashan.

When he hurriedly landed in the yard, Wu Long, the centipede spirit, hurriedly greeted him.

"The general will finally see the real person!"

"No need!" Passing by Wu Long, Master Yuding walked quickly towards the cave where Yang Chan was suppressed. He just took a few steps away, but stopped again and asked softly: "What's wrong with that door?" On?"

"Second Master just came over."

"Jian'er is here too?"

"Yes." Wu Long scratched his head and said, "What day is it today? Why is it so lively? Our Huashan has not been so lively for a long time."

After that, he and the two soldiers beside him laughed.

"If only it were a good day..." After muttering a few words under his breath, Master Yuding lowered his head and walked quickly into the cave.

Soon, purple brilliance came oncoming.

In the cave, Yang Chan sat quietly on a stone chair, meeting Yang Jian's eyes across the barrier.

Seeing Yuding come in, Yang Jian quickly bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Jian'er has met the master."

Yang Chan still sat quietly, and just shouted symbolically: "Master."

After hundreds of years of imprisonment, Yang Chan now seems to have lost her original vigor. Even his behavior and speech have changed a lot.

Yuding waved his hand and said, "Do you know something happened?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly walked to the stone table behind Yang Jian, picked up the teacup on the stone table, and drank it down in one gulp, regardless of whether it was warm or cold.

"I know." Yang Jian replied softly: "The other soul of the monkey is back, and it is still a bloodthirsty monster. That is why the disciple came to Huashan. The army at Guanjiangkou is coming soon."

"No, it's more serious than this." Yuding trembled his sleeves and sat on a stone chair, stroking his long beard and said: "Xuan Zang's westward journey is probably a failure, and people have gone crazy. How can it be possible if he is crazy? Prove? Next, I’m afraid there will be another bloody storm.”

Hearing this, Yang Jian was slightly startled.

Yang Chan blinked her eyes quietly, the expression on her face did not change at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

After a slight pause, Yu Ding swallowed dryly, looked at Yang Chan and whispered: "Also, that wind chime... seems to be back too. It is the reincarnation of the bird, and now it is back."

Hearing this, Yang Chan felt as if something that had been supporting her was suddenly pulled away from her heart. She opened her eyes slightly and stared blankly at Master Yuding. It was as if he had lost his soul.

The hands holding the stone table were clasped tightly with slight force. (~^~)
