The Monkey King

Deep in the Nvshu Temple. Subhuti sighed deeply, his eyes fell on the empty emerald wall, and he stood motionless.

"Sakyamuni didn't take action, but all the other Buddhas took action..."

"Isn't this a good thing? Taking action shows that all Buddhas also have doubts about the Dharma that has not changed for thousands of years. As long as they have doubts in their hearts and have expectations for Xuanzang's journey to the west, it will be the blessing of all living beings in the three realms."

"But in this case, Xuanzang's journey to the west will be even more difficult."

"Old Bodhi, how could you think so?" Nushu smiled and said: "The difficulty of traveling westward should never be the focus of attention, right? If this road were not full of thorns, the predecessors would I'm afraid it has already been opened up, and there is no need for Xuanzang to take any unnecessary steps. If the road is too easy, even if we reach the foot of Lingshan Mountain, I'm afraid it will be in vain."

Hearing this, Subhuti slowly opened and closed his eyes and smiled. It was a helpless smile.

"Actually, there are some things that I have never told anyone. Today, let's talk to your Majesty. Your Majesty will just treat it like an old man and an old fool, complaining and talking nonsense."

"What's up?"

In the emerald wall, Nvshu's figure hovered slowly, facing Subhuti, waiting quietly.

"You have met my apprentice before."

"You mean that bad-tempered monkey?"

Subhuti nodded slightly and said: "In the beginning, he was originally a soul from outside the world, attached to the body of the monkey that was about to be born. The two souls coexisted. Only because he had memories from outside the world, he became the way of heaven. Shi's only fatal weakness. Then, the two souls were forcibly separated by the Heavenly Tribulation. Now, they can no longer tell each other apart, but the original memory is still there."

"I know that. What next?"

"This was a secret more than six hundred years ago, but now it is no longer a secret. In the three realms, all gods, monsters, and Buddhas with some means and status know about this past event. However, some things are unknown to them. I don’t know, but I know.”

"For example?"

Slowly raising his head, Subhuti pursed his lips and chuckled: "For example, what is the memory brought by my disciple?"

Hearing this, the female snail in the emerald wall couldn't help but froze for a moment.

…

In the strong wind, the Buddhas flying through the clouds lowered their bodies one by one until they were flying close to the ground.

The trees in the mountains almost passed by them, but their speed was getting faster and faster, heading straight for the lion and camel country.

…

In the Tushita Palace, Lao Jun was still sitting upright, staring at the water slowly pouring out of the teapot in his hand. His actions for making tea were exactly the same, but his expression was slightly more solemn. A thought has already flown far away.

…

In the kingdom of lions and camels, which was already in ruins, the monkeys and the six-eared macaques were still in a stalemate, looking at each other from a distance.

The six-eared macaque smiled weakly, feeling a bit exhausted.

He slowly looked back at the direction of Zhengfa Ming Tathagata and said with a smile: "They...should have already arrived. Although I am just a chess piece, at least they are not willing to give up this chess piece at this time. Hehehehehe , being a chess piece also has the benefits of being a chess piece. Don’t you think so?"

The monkey stared at the six-eared macaque expressionlessly: "Have you really decided to be their dog?"

"I have already said this question just now. There is no choice, right?" Looking at Yang Chan, Yang Jian and others behind the monkey, the six-eared macaque slowly smiled and said: "You said I am more likely to be the real one." Sun Wukong, but you have already occupied the magpie's nest. They are all on your side, no matter what I do, it is useless. But they should have stood behind me..."

Yang Chan supported Yang Jian and watched from a distance. Everyone was watching the six-eared macaque in silence.

"Actually, they are not important at all. Really, they are not important at all. I know this." The six-eared macaque slowly closed his eyes and sighed: "Together, it is just a stick. But I am Not willing to give in. And... I can't beat you, I admit it. I really can't beat you. This body can't exert its power to the extreme. The same mentality, the same cultivation, everything is the same, a head-on conflict , I will definitely lose. And you have all the advantages."

Lowering his head, the six-eared macaque glanced at his hand.

The skin under the down was already covered with cracks. The vague fluff in the cracks reminded him all the time that this was just a shell without flesh and blood.

Can you really take back what belongs to you with a body like this?

"So, I have no choice, I can only be a dog." Looking up, he faced the monkey again and showed a weird smile.

The monkey still stood quietly without any movement.

Time passes bit by bit.

Behind the six-eared macaque stood Dharma Ming Tathagata and Ksitigarbha. As long as the situation is not right, there is no doubt that they will take action.

Behind the monkey are Subhuti and Sanqing! However, it seems that there is no intention to come to support and let the monkey defeat the six-eared macaque in one fell swoop.

Time passed bit by bit, and the balance of victory seemed to be moving away from the monkey.

…

Deep in the Nushu Temple, Subhuti stroked his long beard and smiled helplessly, sighing slowly: "In the past, the old master once controlled the way of heaven and dominated the three realms. He was omniscient and omnipotent, which was called 'inaction' . Even today, he is still the most calculating person among the three realms. But there are some things in these three realms that Lao Jun does not know."

In the emerald wall, Nvshu didn't speak.

"That is, the memory that the monkey brought from the sky. It is something that no one can read because it does not belong to this world at all. Even back then, when the old man first met him, if it hadn't been for a flash of memory in his mind .Even my old mind-reading skills may not be able to understand."

"Is there anything wrong with those memories?" Nuwa finally couldn't help but ask.

"That's a memory from another world, but it's related to this world."

"What exactly is...what memory?"

"'The story of a monk, taking a monkey, a pig, and a river monster, to the west to fight monsters.'"

Hearing this, Nushua laughed. However, after a moment, the laughter in the emerald wall stopped abruptly.

At this moment, there was only endless silence in the cave.

Raising his head, Subhuti said slowly: "These words were not said by the old man. They were said by the monkey himself when he knelt in front of the Three-Star Cave in the Setting Moon to worship his master."

"You mean..."

"Why was he willing to come out of the mountain just after he was sure that Xuanzang and Sakyamuni were enemies? It is completely bizarre to want to rely on Xuanzang, a mortal, to prove the Tao and defeat the Buddhist sect that has existed for thousands of years. Why? He must invite his former enemy Tianpeng to join him. Why didn't he invite the black bear spirit who was similar to Tianpeng's cultivation level and loyal to him? In fact... the most bizarre thing was why he wanted to invite the black bear spirit who had a relatively shallow cultivation level and no one. Ao Lie, the third prince of Xihai, who is very talented? Isn’t this behavior strange? "

Hearing this, Nushua became completely silent.

"Anyone, no matter how high his cultivation level is, no matter how low his cultivation level is, even if he is under the Five Elements Mountain, even if he has no cultivation level at all, it is impossible for him to read the content before he came to this world. However, your Majesty, you If you think about it carefully, besides the memory before he came to this world, is there another thing that has been guiding this monkey forward?"

Taking a deep breath, Subhuti sighed: "Why would a man like Lao Chan, who had been completely disappointed with the Three Realms and retired to the mountains and forests, suddenly come out of the mountain? Is it just because of a few words from Jin Chanzi? If Lao Chan is really powerful, After calculating the troubles in the Heavenly Palace and traveling to the west, why can't I calculate that I have to pay for the nine disciples who entered the house?"

"Actually, it's the same as that monkey. From beginning to end, it was that story that guided the old man and convinced him that as long as Xuanzang could reach the foot of Lingshan Mountain, he would be able to attain enlightenment. Because, for us, that is the fundamental It is a prophecy, a prophecy from another world! Starting from the Water Curtain Cave, going to become a disciple of the Eighteen Thousand Miles, to Naotian Palace, under the Five Elements Mountain! To the West! I, Laojun, Sakyamuni, we predict The unexpected and unexpected, every node in the story is coming true in a different way!"

After a slight pause, Subhuti said in an extremely calm tone: "Faced with it, the only thing we need to do is to control it as much as possible and not let it deviate from what we want! No, let yourself stand in the prophecy The opposite of.”

…

Raising his head, the six-eared macaque saw streaks of golden light shining through the clouds, reflecting the earth into gold.

Immediately afterwards, pieces of golden feathers slowly descended from the sky along with a golden Buddha sitting cross-legged.

At this moment, he smiled, a little bit crazy.

Behind him, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata took out a golden hoop from his sleeve.

With just one glance, the monkey was completely stunned.

"The True Dharma Ming Tathagata...is Guanyin, that golden hoop?" Lowering his head, he saw the iron soldier in his hand and the golden hoop in the hand of the six-eared macaque, and instantly got goosebumps all over his body!

For the first time... he questioned his role in this story.

Who is... the real six-eared macaque that was beaten to death? (To be continued ~^~)
