The Monkey King

  The marriage that spanned 800 years, the recognition after more than 600 years, but in the end it was just a few words, and it was gently passed.

   This is something Qingxin never thought of.

   In the sky, the monkey figure gradually disappeared, mixed with the afterglow of the sunset, gradually blurred, and blended into the background color of the sky. It felt like a dream.

  Qing Xin was still hanging in place, staring blankly. She couldn't help but want to laugh, but tears were already streaming down her face.

   Words can no longer describe her mood at the moment.

  Happiness came so suddenly that she didn't have the slightest mental preparation and could only be led away by the monkey...

   Yeah, it's always been like this, hasn't it?

  It has been eight hundred years, whether it is a bird, a wind chime, or even a pure heart today.

  When the monkey decided to go out to sea to find immortals, she was unwilling, but unable to refuse, and finally had to be tied to the chariot by the monkey.

  When the monkey was determined to fight against the heaven, she was afraid, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only watch silently, helpless.

  When Lao Jun told her the truth, she didn't want to die, but...

   She always compromised again and again, without any bottom line.

  Because this monkey, even the weakest wind chimes, will have the courage to defy the teacher's orders, and will have the courage to step into the Tushita Palace with a dagger against his throat and trade with his own life.

  Because this monkey, even the strongest and most ruthless Qingxin, will turn the words of admonishing the other party to stop traveling westward into a sentence: "I want to travel westward with you."

  This is like an endless spell, no matter what, as long as this monkey is involved, her choice is only to surrender, make concessions, and compromise.

   "A... a marriage where there are no flowers on the moon tree and no love in the heart?"

  Qingxin pursed her lips and smiled helplessly, her eyes hazy with tears.

   In this life, I wanted to be completely liberated, but in the end... I had those few words just now. Is she really still determined to escape?

   turned around slowly, and she flew towards the southwest.

  …

   fell far beyond the ruined walls of the capital, and the monkey walked towards the lonely city gate with heavy steps. The hand holding the golden hoop was tight and tight.

  The broken tiles in one place.

  The surrounding area was full of people in need of urgent treatment. Every face lost its expression, as if it had been forcibly deprived of its soul.

   At this moment, he no longer has the heart to feel these.

   The anger has completely dissipated, and what has been replaced is a sense of powerlessness. an anxiety. In the same way, it is like losing a soul.

  's mind is full of birds, wind chimes, Qingxin's figures, and Yang Chan in Huashan, and the last words Tathagata said to him...

   On both sides of the road, one after another corpses were dug out from the rubble and placed on the side of the road.

   Seeing the monkey coming from outside the city, the busy men and soldiers all stopped and watched the monkey quietly. His eyes were as calm as water. There has long been no fanaticism just now... More, it should be a question. But no one said it.

An old woman came hurriedly, knelt in front of the monkey, and cried out, "The old lady is begging the monkey! My wife is buried under that, I beg you to save him! No matter how late... No matter how late, he is afraid that he will die. …”

   said, and was already crying breathlessly.

  The monkey turned his face slightly and looked in the direction the old woman pointed.

   It was a collapsed house, and the monkey could clearly feel that there were two people under the pile of rubble, but unfortunately, they had lost their breath.

   just hesitated a little. He silently bypassed the old woman and continued walking.

   Behind that, the old woman's cries became more and more harsh. People looking around, distrust in their eyes. It seems to have deepened a lot.

   Just when the monkey saw the lecture square from a distance, the black bear spirit hurried towards him.

   "Master! What's going on!"

  Monkey looked up at him slightly.

   At this glance, the black bear spirit was immediately stunned. For a while, both of them were stunned.

After a while, the monkey said softly: "I've already talked about it, let them die. After a while... Soon, they should have someone come to rescue the people. After all, they don't want too many people to die. Too many... trouble."

   Said, the monkey had lowered his head, leaned on the golden cudgel to bypass the black bear spirit, and continued to walk in the direction of the square.

   The black bear spirit was completely stunned, and he couldn't understand for a while, so he could only look back at the monkey's back blankly.

   Xuanzang rolled up his cassock and walked among the corpses all over the ground while holding the Buddha beads. The Buddhist scriptures were spread out in front of each corpse and recited reverently. At this moment, it is full of filth.

   As if to avoid Xuanzang, the monkey did not go to the center of the square, but changed direction and went around to the corner, bowed his back, and sat down. That figure, like a gangster living on the street.

   In the darkness, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.

   "That Monkey Immortal...isn't he strong? Why didn't he help save people?"

   "Strong strength?" Someone snorted coldly and said, "I think it's just a pretense. What to say... Forget it, don't mention it. Isn't the current thing enough for us to teach?"

   Everyone is working hard to save people, but everyone is quietly watching the monkeys, watching Xuanzang who keeps reciting the useless scriptures. Discussing quietly.

   In a short period of time, a countercurrent has quietly formed.

  Tian Peng walked over with a nine-toothed rake, and said to the monkey with some puzzlement: "What happened, you lost?"

"Won."

   "Then...why don't you save people? Here..."

   "I..." Before the canopy could finish speaking, the monkey had already opened his mouth slightly, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and stopped.

   The two looked at each other for a long time before the monkey swallowed and said in a low voice, "I'm a little confused. Someone will come to rescue later, we don't need us."

While    was talking, countless flashes of light approached in the sky, and hundreds of monks fell from the sky. Without further ado, they joined the rescue of the victims one by one.

   For a time, everyone was at a loss.

   Looking at the large number of Kunlun monks who suddenly appeared around, Tianpeng smiled helplessly, and sat down beside the monkey.

"What happened?"

   "Last time..." The monkey said hesitantly: "The thing we guessed last time has really come true. Qingxin is a wind chime, a bird..."

   "Isn't that worth having fun?"

  Monkey turned his face and glanced at Tianpeng, lowered his head and smiled: "I don't know either. I just told her that if I win, I'll go to her."

"and then?"

   "She didn't refuse."

   "Why do you think she would refuse?"

   was asked by the canopy. The monkey was at a loss for words, his eyes widened slightly, and he stared at the canopy in astonishment. For a long time, he didn't say a word. He just bowed his head slightly and continued to sit in a dejected manner.

He didn't know how to explain to Tianpeng the last words that Tathagata said to him: "That night, you just experienced a great disaster and slept soundly, and the poor monk took her soul. It came to you. Beside her, in front of her, I cut open your heart. In it, there are debts, guilt, attachment, commitment... but there is no love. Do you know how sad she cried at that moment? "

   That is a thorn in his heart, a thorn that hurts when touched, but has to face.

   A gust of breeze blew gently, swaying the torches in the hands of the pedestrians around, bringing a burst of sand and dust, and the rubble that hit the ground ding-dong.

   The macaque king, who was seriously injured and not healed, limped out of nowhere. He found a corner and squatted down, staring at the sky bored.

  In the distance, the buried people were rescued one by one, and more monks were still coming, bringing medicine pills for healing, as well as countless food and other supplies, mighty.

  With the help of this large number of monks, it is naturally no problem to rescue these suffering civilians. It seemed that they had been infected, and the people who were originally very afraid of these Taoist priests had a big change in their attitude towards the monks. Enthusiasm. In almost every corner, people could be seen kowtowing to these monks and thanking them. After the disaster, the rare hot tea and hot soup were also delivered to the monks one by one.

   for a while. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Many people took this opportunity to chat with these flying cultivators, hoping that there would be many people who would come under the gate of Kunlun Mountain.

   Xuanzang was unmoved by what was happening around him, but Tianpeng, who had been watching silently, couldn't help frowning.

   "You don't mind?"

   "Huh?" The monkey suddenly raised his head and looked at the canopy, his expression as if he had just woken up from a dream. Tianpeng looked a little stunned.

   Helpless, Tianpeng had to sigh deeply and said, "What happened?"

  Monkey blinked blankly. The expression seemed to be a little dazed again. He crossed his hands tightly, curled into a ball as if he wanted to bury himself deeply.

   In this scene, the canopy was speechless. He had never seen such a monkey before.

   After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "As we travel west, you and Master Xuanzang are indispensable. What happened to you?"

  Monkey closed his eyes tightly and sighed softly: "There is a person here..."

"who?"

   "One, who shouldn't exist in this world, is exactly the same as me. In terms of cultivation, it should be the same as me. He is... the soul I lost during the catastrophe."

   Hearing this, the canopy was suddenly shocked.

"Although it's annoying, but... the big deal is to fight, as long as he's not selfless like the Tathagata, I'm not afraid of anyone. It's just..." The monkey blinked at the dim red fire in the distance, opened his mouth slightly, and bit his wrist. .

   After a long time, he said with a voice like a mosquito: "Qingxin...Qingxin is a bird and a wind chime..."

   "I know, then what?"

   "I won, I have to pick her up..."

   "She didn't say no, what's the problem?"

   "But I still have to pick up Yang Chan, and I also can't leave her behind."

  The canopy suddenly became angry: "Let's pick it up, is there any problem?"

   "If it were you, what would you do?" Lifting his head, the monkey looked at the canopy and slowly repeated: "If it were you, what would you do?"

   Hearing the words, the canopy was stunned.

  The monkey covered his face and sighed slowly: "The 'love' that can be cut into two pieces...that's a joke. Whether it's for yourself or others." (~^~)
