The Monkey King

Lion and camel country.

It’s still the original courtyard and the original attic. Only this time, there were many more guards outside. Rows of spears stood upright, and countless magic circles were laid out in the darkness. Countless heavily armed demon generals are ambushing everywhere.

Standing on tiptoes and looking through the window lattice to see everything outside the door, even the young Chen Xiang could already feel the strong murderous aura in it, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Master, is Master Wukong going to lock us up? Will he..."

"No." Qingxin gently touched Chen Xiang's head and said hesitantly: "Master...since he has already asked about it, he will never put us in danger. Don't worry."

Chen Xiang nodded silently, feeling a little more at ease. However, Qingxin was still uneasy in her heart.

In that battle more than 600 years ago, didn't Subhuti pay all nine of his disciples?

Will he really put his own life and death first this time? Or... am I just a bargaining chip?

Thinking about it, Qingxin suddenly smiled helplessly.

In her past life and this life, she had almost never truly controlled her own destiny. She had always been just a floating leaf in the wild flow.

…

"Whatever the Buddhists do, naturally they have their intentions. You just need to remember that in their calculations, they will never consider whether you can survive. In the eyes of the Buddha, there is only the Dharma." Subhuti stood up slowly and slowly Pacing on the ground: "But!"

"But?" The six-eared macaque opened his eyes wide.

Looking at the six-eared macaque, Subhuti sighed softly: "But as long as that other you still exists, and as long as Xuanzang's journey to the west has not failed, Buddhism must be on your side."

"Ah?" The six-eared macaque blinked in confusion.

"After the battle more than 600 years ago, the Laojun Tiandao Stone collapsed, and the Heavenly Dao Wuwei ceased to exist. The Heavenly Court went from its peak to decline, and the Monster Clan fell into pieces. It is the most powerful force in the world. Nothing is more important than Buddhism. If the Tathagata had the intention to unify the three realms, perhaps there would be no Taoism in these three realms."

The six-eared macaque listened quietly, while Subhuti walked back and forth like a chattering old man. Keep talking.

"Buddha, all the four elements are empty, only the Buddha Dharma remains. Therefore, if the Tathagata can cultivate the way of heaven without self, even if you reach the pinnacle of the path of the practitioner and restore the infinite way of heaven, there will be nothing you can do to him. At the same level of cultivation, the disciples of Buddhism are even better than Taoism is much stronger. But Buddha also has weaknesses."

"The four elements are empty, which means that ordinary weaknesses no longer exist in them. Fear, greed, and even simple evil cannot exist in them. They have no feelings and it is difficult to make mistakes because they have become They are the incarnation of simple reason. Therefore, their weakness only exists in Buddhism itself."

"Only by understanding the Dharma can we truly defeat them."

At this point, the six-eared macaque's brows were already frowning. He stared at Subhuti blankly.

Seeing this, Subhuti changed his tone and sighed softly: "Buddhism is not your biggest threat at the moment, but as a teacher, you must first talk about Buddhism. Why? Because they are your greatest help and your eternal threat. You must understand this first. No matter who wins or loses in your fight with the other you, no matter who becomes the only Sun Wukong in the end, Buddhism will not allow you to live in this world."

Hear the words. The six-eared macaque shrank its neck slightly, thoughtfully.

These words were also said by Monkey during the first battle between Yu Monkey and Monkey. At that time, he understood it, but it was far from as thunderous as what Subhuti said at this moment.

Stroking his long beard, Subhuti continued: "The only people who can defeat the Buddha are those who understand the Dharma. There was one Laojun who was at the peak of his power back then, and another Master Xuanzang today. The Laojun's inaction in the way of heaven has been No longer exists, so now the only person left in the world who can defeat Buddha and truly get you out of trouble is Master Xuanzang. No matter what, you must ensure the safety of Master Xuanzang. Only in this way can you achieve the final victory. possible."

After hesitating for a moment, the six-eared macaque kowtowed deeply and said, "Disciple, please follow your master's teachings."

Subhuti nodded silently.

Raising his head, the six-eared macaque looked at Subhuti again and said: "However, master, what the disciple is facing now is not the threat from Buddhism. It is another self, and... heavenly calamity. Master, please give me some advice!" "

Seeing the six-eared macaque who was sincerely asking for advice and extremely obedient at this moment, Subhuti couldn't help but laugh.

On the balcony, Lao Jun, who was holding the chess pieces, suddenly laughed.

"Master..." the six-eared macaque said with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter, so don't mention it." Subhuti shook his head slowly and continued: "If you understand what the teacher said before, then the next thing will be easy to handle. The weakness of Buddhism is Buddhism. Master Xuanzang is their Achilles heel. The only reason they let you come out is to deal with the other you. To be more precise, it is to create disaster for Master Xuanzang who is traveling westward. So..."

"so?"

"So." Subhuti looked at the six-eared macaque and said in a low voice: "It is not a good thing that you are strong. If you are strong, there will be no help. On the contrary, if you are weak, there will be. Take good care of it. Think about how you got the weapons you have now."

Hearing this, the six-eared macaque suddenly understood.

"Walkers are good at killing, but in the whole world, how many practitioners have truly reached the top?" Step by step, he walked to the futon, bowed and sat down, and said leisurely: "If the world is like a chessboard, the chess players , and more than three or five? No matter how strong you are, you can't help but suffer losses from many parties. And no matter how weak you are, as long as you are supported by many parties, you can still reach the top and become a trend. In these three realms, what is played is the word 'power'. Need Only by assessing the situation and strategizing can we seize the opportunity and remain invincible. Those who have only brute strength will in the end just marry others."

"Disciple, I understand! Thank you, Master, for your guidance. It is a great kindness that cannot be repaid in return!"

"Dong dong dong", leaning down, the six-eared macaque made three loud noises in succession.

"I understand, let's go. If something happens, you can go back to Xie Yue Sanxing Cave to find me as your master."

"Thank you, Master!" Raising his head, the six-eared macaque's eyes rolled briefly, but he paused.

"What? Is there anything else?"

"Hehe." The six-eared macaque grinned, scratched his head and ears, and said with some embarrassment: "Master, there is one more thing I would like to ask you."

Subhuti raised his eyes slightly and said, "Tell me."

"The disciple wants to know... I want to know if there is a way for Qing Xin and Yang Chan to make them..."

At this point, Subhuti burst into laughter.

The six-eared macaque said no more, but looked at Subhuti with wide eyes, expecting Subhuti to teach him something.

"The two of them only recognize the other you, why?"

"this……"

"What's the difference between you and that other you?"

"memory!"

"Where do memories come from?"

"this……"

Seeing the six-eared macaque's dazed look, Subhuti propped up his knees and said meaningfully: "Memory naturally comes from getting along. Now both of them are in your hands. As long as you see the situation clearly and know what to do, What to do and what not to do…Without old memories, new memories can be created.”

…

Not long after, the six-eared macaque said goodbye to Subhuti and left the Xianyue Sanxing Cave. Compared with the excitement when he arrived, his face now looked more complacent.

On the balcony, Lao Jun, who was still sitting in front of the chessboard, slightly raised his head and glanced at Subhuti, who had arrived late, and smiled faintly.

Subhuti returned to his seat step by step, grabbed a chess piece, and sighed: "This way of heaven is really mysterious and mysterious. Although the stone of heaven is broken and the trajectory of the three realms has been disrupted, the word 'destiny' is still there. exist."

"What do you want to say?"

Grasping the chess pieces, Subhuti opened his sleeves and while carefully examining the situation on the chessboard, he said softly: "I just want to say that if the spirit from outside the world hadn't escaped at that time, this might be my ten disciples." The way it is..." (~^~)
