"Although we have the responsibility of universalizing all sentient beings, but the way of heaven is orderly, life and death are fate, and it is difficult for us to disobey the way of heaven. ”
Cold and serious voices came from all directions, like the sound of drums, and the muffled sound echoed in my heart. I was almost blown apart by the sound, and it took a lot of effort to reshape the part that was faintly transformed back into the prototype. After that, I prostrated again, kneeling upright in front of the Buddha and continuing:
"I know that life and death are fateful, but after witnessing that disaster many years ago, I really can't bear to go through this hardship again. It is not my hypocrisy and hypocrisy to shirk our guilt, but in fact, the tragic situation of the human world often appears in front of my eyes, making it difficult for me to sleep and eat. This is a grudge between the gods and demons, entangled for many years, and has nothing to do with the human race, although we want to win, but we don't want the innocent creatures in the human world to suffer this catastrophe. The Monkey King is the most important person in this battle, and I once again ask the Buddha to forgive us for a few days, and when this battle is over, I will bear the guilt of asking for it, and I will be willing to be punished without complaining. ”
My eyes were always steadfast, and even when I was kneeling, my back was still straightened, and I didn't give in to any fear. I thought it would take a little more to get a response, but to my surprise, as soon as I finished speaking, the figure of the Buddha who had defeated the Buddha appeared in the clouds.
"Get up, you don't have to kneel anymore. ”
At this time, the Dou Shengfu Buddha lost his previous attire, wearing only a set of bright golden armor, and lifted me up from the ground. I couldn't see any emotion in his eyebrows, and I looked at the six ears who seemed familiar but were actually very unfamiliar, but I was in a complicated mood, and I didn't know what to say to him for a while.
I have been hostile to him for many years, and I always thought that it was he who robbed the body of the stone and robbed everything about it. But now, when the truth is completely revealed, I suddenly feel that the most innocent and miserable person in this lie should be his six-eared macaque.
I suddenly felt guilty for Liu'er in my heart, and lowered my head and didn't dare to look into his eyes. However, Liu'er didn't seem to care about this, and after helping me up, he led me to the portal and said to me:
"The Buddha has known about this for a long time, and he has known for a long time that you will come for this matter today. Although the West Heaven will not meddle in the affairs of the Three Realms, the Buddha is compassionate, and naturally does not want to see the scene of the misery of the living beings and the misery of the people, otherwise you will not be able to stand here. What the Buddha is doing today is just to let the Buddhas know your determination. In fact, how to solve this matter, the Buddha already had a plan in his heart. ”
"So the West Heaven will help us?"
Hearing this, I suddenly felt a little more confident in my heart, and I couldn't help but look at Liu'er with hope. But Liu'er shook his head at me and continued:
"The Western Heaven has transcended the Three Realms, and its responsibility is to maintain the Heavenly Dao, so the Buddhas will not participate in this war. But as I said before, the Buddha was compassionate, so the West Heaven still provided you with help. The first help is naturally the activation of the seal of the Five Finger Mountain, if the Monkey King recovers his true body and helps the Heavenly Realm, the seal of the Five Finger Mountain is naturally useless. But if it is influenced by the rebellious heart and fights against the Celestial Realm, then you only need to recite the incantation engraved on the Five Finger Mountain, and you can crush the Monkey King under the Five Finger Mountain, and fight for a glimmer of life for you. ”
"I thought the seal of Wuzhi Mountain was reactivated to guide me to the Western Heavens. ”
After listening to Liu'er's explanation, I couldn't help but lower my head and mutter. However, there has never been a secret in the western sky, and no matter how whispered I spoke, I was still listened to by the six ears. Liu'er coughed twice in embarrassment, and said to me:
"It's true that this is the intention, but what we were worried about before was that you would go directly to Xitian to inquire about it, but fortunately you were not impulsive. ”
"It's not that I don't want to be impulsive, it's just that there were so many things going on that that I couldn't think about it for a while. And I still have the Hades by my side, and he will not allow me to come to the west alone. ”
"In this case, I would like to thank the Immortal King for his help. ”
"It doesn't matter if you thank him or not, what matters is what help you have provided to us in addition to this Xitian?"
I was very nervous and curious to inquire about this with Liu'er, and when Liu'er heard this, he raised his head and looked at me meaningfully.
I was startled by his gaze, and the nerves that had just eased up couldn't help but tense again. At this moment, the two of us walked to the place where the portal was, and he took me by the hand, led me to the door, looked at the door, looked at me again, and answered me in a voice so light that I could not hear it at all:
"The second help that Xitian has provided to you is to return the true body of Monkey King to him. ”
As soon as the six ears finished speaking, a huge beam of light separated the two of us. I went through another teleportation, and my internal organs turned upside down and began to protest against me. After gaining a foothold, I just wanted to complain to Liu'er, but suddenly I found that the fighting Buddha beside me had completely lost his life and was lying stiffly on the ground.
I thought I was hallucinating, or maybe I was playing some boring trick. But when I sknelt down and confirmed it repeatedly, I had to admit that this body that had defeated the Buddha was really only an empty shell.
I sat on the ground with this "corpse" in my arms and didn't move for a long time. I finally realized the meaning of Liu'er's last sentence, it turned out that the so-called return of his true body to the stone was his sacrifice of himself.
I never thought that the price would be so, and in my plan, there should not be innocent people dying, especially Six Ears. I had always hoped that the Emperor would regain his freedom in his hands after this battle, but before I could say sorry to him, he said goodbye to me in such a simple way.
We owe Liu'er too much, and when we made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, we stripped him of his identity without his consent, and asked him to live in place of Monkey King with the title of Monkey King. In the thousands of years that followed, he went through countless trials in the name of Monkey King, but he never appeared in anyone's world as a six-eared person, and even until death, he was so silent, without any struggle, and without asking us to restore his identity. From now on, except for a few of us, no one in this world will ever know that the Monkey King they think is actually not a stone, but a six-eared macaque that is very similar to a stone, and no one will know that the six-eared macaque has paid his life for the peace of the Three Realms.
He was so truly alive, but there was never a person who loved him or hated him for what he was. The aura he worked hard to obtain only belonged to the Monkey King, and as for the name Liu'er, it finally turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated into those myths and stories in the human world.
And we, all of us, are the culprits of this murder.
