The Monkey King

"This is impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lingji angrily roared: "How can Lao Jun's cultivation be restored? Isn't his Heavenly Dao Stone... shattered? Palace, there is no change at all! How could he... how could it be..."

   Puxian stared blankly at Lingji, who was a little exasperated, and said nothing.

   Gradually, Lingji stopped talking, but the flustered expression on his face remained.

  …

   "If Laojun regains control of the Three Realms..." The Jade Emperor stood motionless while supporting the dragon case. The immortals around them all looked at him cautiously.

  If Laojun regains control of the Three Realms, then the Jade Emperor will return to the former Jade Emperor, and the Heavenly Court will also become the former Heavenly Court. The scenery is promising, but... is this really what he wants?

  The Jade Emperor, who had just liberated his power, became the biggest puppet of the Three Realms again?

  Thinking, he couldn't help but laugh, it was a bitter smile.

   "mobilize a large army to stick to Nantianmen, and then... pay close attention to the movements of all parties in the Three Realms."

   This may be the only thing he can do as the Jade Emperor.

   The so-called Jade Emperor, under the dazzling brilliance, is actually nothing but fallen leaves floating on the lake. I don't know when a wave will sink to the bottom of the lake, and it will never be able to turn over.

   Wasn't that the case with the previous Jade Emperor?

   The Xianjia present looked solemn. After a long time, Taibaijinxing bowed slightly and said, "No."

  The wind was blowing gently, and the branches outside the window swayed gently, just like the Jade Emperor's situation at the moment - he couldn't help himself.

  …

   "What does Lao Jun mean?" Slowly straightening his waist, Subhuti looked at Lao Jun meaningfully.

   "It doesn't make much sense?" Lao Jun glanced at his heart from a distance and sighed softly, "This old man is a man of his word. Since he has promised to bless him, he will definitely bless him."

   Qingxin stared blankly at Lao Jun, a kind of grief filled his heart.

  Monkey's eyes slowly turned and slanted towards Lao Jun.

   Laojun glanced at him casually, and said with a chuckle, "Why, don't you believe me?"

   "The little girl might believe it."

   "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Let's talk about interests instead of feelings."

   "What interests are we talking about?"

   "Let's go first, this is not the place to talk." After speaking, Lao Jun tapped his toes and slowly backed away.

  Monkey is still watching Qingxin from a distance.

   "Don't worry, the old man will keep her all right. After so many years, the old man has never broken his promise to anyone. Even to you, the same is true." After saying that, Lao Jun has turned and flew towards the distance.

   After hesitating for a long time, the monkey finally followed, but still looked back at Qing Xin from time to time.

   Seeing the two of them leave, the six-eared macaque tried to catch up, but saw that Subhuti's face was blue and did not move at all, so he had to retreat again.

   "Master, are you just letting them go?"

   "I don't know to what extent Laojun's cultivation has been restored as a teacher, but... if we add up, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of the two of them."

   "We are not their opponents?" The six-eared macaque hummed violently: "We are not their opponents, so why did they leave?"

   "Because the mantis catches the cicada oriole behind, they don't want to be a mantis, they want to be a oriole."

   "What a mantis cicada oriole! Master, you can't bear to attack him, right? This is a tiger returning to the mountain, master! Only by completely eradicating him, the disciples can safely protect Master Xuanzang's westward journey!"

   Under the shouting, Subhuti just gave the six-eared macaque a faint glance, did not speak, and directly rose into the air. I saw the dust in his hand fluttering, a little dust scattered, and the earth that was destroyed beyond recognition began to recover little by little.

   Helpless, he took a last look at the direction Laojun and the monkey were leaving, and the six-eared macaque had to grit his teeth and turn around to follow Subhuti.

  …

   "Is it possible for Lao Jun's cultivation to recover?"

   "This... If Lao Jun's cultivation can be restored, what's the point of what we did more than 600 years ago?"

   "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

   A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

   In Daleiyin Temple, all the Buddhas have already fried the pot. Noisy, but still can't come up with a result. The Tathagata sitting high on the lotus pedestal never said a word, which invisibly pushed the debate to a new height.

   Manjushri, who was standing beside Zhengfa Ming Tathagata, asked in a low voice, "Do you think Laojun's cultivation can be restored?"

"Yes, it is definitely possible. If not, how did he cultivate it in the first place?" Zhengfa Ming Tathagata sighed lightly, "It's just that, apart from him, no one has cultivated the 'inaction' of the heavenly way, naturally, also No one knows how to recover. No one can tell exactly how far his current cultivation has reached."

   "If he really recovers, it will be bad. The demon monkey has completely integrated into the Three Realms. Even the six-eared macaque has lost all memory and will not interfere. At that time... the Three Realms will reappear as it was 800 years ago."

   Zhengfa Ming Tathagata frowned, and after a long time, he left four words: "Watch the changes."

  …

   In the sky, the monkey slowly caught up with Lao Jun. The two flew side by side.

   "What agreement do you want to make?"

   Hearing this, Lao Jun couldn't help but laugh, like an old urchin.

   holding a belly of anger, Monkey Qing said: "What are you laughing at? I don't have time to laugh with you now, so I'm making a mystery!"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to laugh." The old man looked forward and sighed: "It's been so many years, you finally know that you have taken the initiative to talk to the old man? Still that sentence, the old man is the most credible in the Three Realms. people."

  Monkey pursed his lips and did not speak, but his eyes were always staring at Lao Jun, and he did not move at all.

Looking at the sunset on the horizon, Lao Jun said leisurely: "'Wuwei', its true meaning is 'following the trend'. From 'inaction' to 'everything'. Everything has its inherent laws, and all 'fruits' are It was destined from the beginning. To change the 'effect', we must understand the inner cause of the 'effect'."

"so what?"

   "So before negotiating with others, you must first understand the situation and your own situation. If you can't do it thoroughly, in the end, you will inevitably make wrong judgments and harm others and yourself."

   "Huh?" The monkey frowned so much that water came out: "I...I don't understand very well. Can you be more clear?"

Seeing the ignorant look on the monkey's face, Lao Jun stroked his long beard and "giggled" and said, "You don't understand, if you understand, you will be the one who cultivates the 'inaction', not the old man." To be honest, what happened today is beyond the old man's expectations and the old man's. Therefore, the old man is also a last resort. After this incident, in the future, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at the old man, and they will no longer be able to Just act quietly like before. After all... this old man has a special status."

   The more he listened, the more ignorant he became. The monkey couldn't help but jumped up and stopped Lao Jun directly.

   At this stop, Lao Jun's brows slowly frowned.

   "You just have to tell me what to do."

   Hearing this, Lao Jun shook his head and said, "It's up to you to decide what to do. More than 600 years ago, the old man tried his best to make you follow the rules. What is the final result?"

"what?"

"In this way, let's talk about it after you have figured out everything. However, the old man has to remind you that if you really want to cooperate with the old man, the price will be very high." After speaking, Lao Jun reached out and patted the monkey on the shoulder. Regardless of the monkey's reaction, he gently bypassed the monkey, and a jump has disappeared without a trace.

  Leaving only the monkey hanging in place, looking embarrassed.

   "That's all... in the clouds. The price... what's the price?"

   At this moment, the jade slip lit up. From the other end came Lu Liuguai's nervous voice: "Great sage! Peng Demon King said that the six-eared macaques also went to the Xieyue Sanxing Cave!"

   Hearing the words, the monkey shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm only talking about it now? I already had a fight with him!"

   "Huh? How's it going now?"

   "Of course I won."

   "Then... when will the Great Sage come back?"

   "What, is there something?"

On the other end of the    jade slip, Lu Liuguai said hesitantly, "There is something...about Master Xuanzang."

   Hearing this, the monkey suddenly felt angry and spat fiercely: "Mother, this Xuanzang is really troublesome! I don't know if the old man is blind, why do you believe that he will succeed?"

   said, he turned around and flew towards Xuanzang's direction.

  …

The news of    came one by one, and the entire Three Realms seemed to have been moved by the wind. However, there is no news about the further actions of Monkey and Lao Jun.

   But even so, Lingji felt uneasy. In just an hour, he has asked Puxian no less than ten times: "Do you think that monkey will form an alliance with Laojun?"

   Every time, Puxian's answer is: "Whether or not to form an alliance depends on the westbound or the alliance with Laojun, which one is cheaper for him."

   "The price?"

"There is no doubt that the easiest way to achieve that monkey's goal is not to protect Xuanzang from traveling west, but to restore Laojun to the 'inaction' of heaven. But... if it were that simple, Laojun would have recovered long ago. Why wait until now?"

   "Should we do it before Lao Jun is done?" Lingji rolled up his sleeves and made a downward cut gesture.

   "Do it? How?" Puxian smiled helplessly and said, "The monkey and Laojun are both immortal. Besides, do you know what the conditions for his return to heaven are? Be careful of self-defeating."

   After saying this, Lingji suddenly softened like a deflated ball.

Looking leisurely at the flowing clouds in the distance, Puxian sighed softly: "The wind and rain are coming. There are too many inexplicable right and wrong in this world. That is the war between the cultivators of the heavenly way, you and me, Let's sit here and drink tea leisurely, and let Jinghou make a result. When the sky falls, doesn't it also hit the taller first?"

  …

   At this moment, in the bustling Daleiyin Temple, the Tathagata's face became more and more ugly.

  …

   After thinking about it for a long time, Lingji finally nodded slightly and said, "Okay, listen to you." (To be continued~^~)
