Chapter 40: The Heavenly Tribulation

Journey to the West, is it a conspiracy that has been carefully planned?

The monk's words made me obviously stunned, I am a big fan of "The Legend of Wukong", this bald man should have read this book too, right?

"The Legend of Wukong" also said that Journey to the West was a conspiracy, but I didn't really see what kind of conspiracy it was, but now the monk said that Journey to the West was a conspiracy, which caught me off guard and remembered that book.

I still couldn't get out of the bushes, and of course, I've always regretted my decision.

If I had gone out, there wouldn't have been as many things as I had been.

The monk looked at me walking back and said, "Do you remember what questions I asked you before?"

I rolled my eyes and said speechlessly, "You talk so much nonsense, how can I remember it." ”

"Well, too. The monk rubbed his bald head and said, "You are from the next generation, I asked you what the ending of Journey to the West is, do you remember?"

I nodded, the monk did ask me this question, isn't the end of the four masters and apprentices to complete their merits, and then ascend to heaven?

"In fact, the ending of Journey to the West is not the real ending, but the beginning of a new Journey to the West. The monk said a very subtle word.

I was so angry that I almost jumped up and kicked him, won't this shit say something easy to understand?

When the monk saw that my face changed suddenly, he hurriedly explained: "After the monkey made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, do you think that Rulai's punishment for him is just as simple as pressing him under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years?"

"Could it be that he asked someone to dance in front of the monkeys?"

The monk ignored me and said, "After the four of us arrive in the West, we will not ascend to Buddhahood, but start a new journey to the West, and every now and then, the monkey's memory will be erased." If the punishment for the monkey is not Wuzhi Mountain, but the endless reincarnation of the Westward Journey, so the Westward Journey is a complete tragedy, and becoming a Buddha is actually self-destruction. ”

I was stunned for a moment, staring at the monk, and I felt uncomfortable in my heart.

"What do you mean...... But it's all true? Don't lie to me?"

The monk nodded and said: "Ah Lian has been waiting for the monkey here for many years, the last time she traveled to the west, the monkey killed her, I persuaded her to let go of her obsession at that time, and let her soul fly away, but she didn't agree, resentment accumulated, and over time, she turned into a demon, which is what she is now." ”

"...... she and the monkey?"

"I don't know, but Ah Lian should have seen monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, at that time, the monkeys made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and fought hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals so that they didn't dare to fight, and he was majestic, so he naturally wouldn't care about a little banshee. ”

"No, no," I pointed to the monk and asked, "There are too many loopholes in what you said, you said that after the end of the Journey to the West, you started a new round of Journey to the West, which is also too illogical, how can so many people and things be repeated at the same time? And why hasn't your memory been erased?"

The monk sighed and said, "What is so difficult about these things for the gods? As for why my memory has not been erased, this is their punishment for me. ”

"What about Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng, what is the punishment they receive?"

"It's nothing to them, it's just that Bajie hasn't forgotten the past, he refuses to forget it, I want to forget it. ”

"They're too bad, aren't they? It's too cruel to the monkeys, isn't it?"

"Cruel? You don't know them, do you? Or rather, what you see is what the world sees them. No one in this world seems to have ever thought about why there are Buddhas, why there are gods, why do they stand, why are they broken, being born as human beings is suffering, gods and Buddhas are just objects of prayer and sacrifice used by the world, or means of escaping disasters, but is God really omnipotent? If so, why is there a world of living beings? And Buddhas, are they all compassionate? If so, why have monkeys fallen to such a state?

I was speechless, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

The monk's voice was very flat, but this flat tone was filled with an inexplicable sadness, and I could feel from the bottom of my heart that the monk really cared about the monkey, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.

When I think of monkeys, I feel uncomfortable.

To be honest, who of my generation didn't grow up watching the old version of Journey to the West in 87?

The monkey's obedient and evil character is remembered in our generation, foreigners have Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk and all kinds of superheroes, but for every Chinese, the only hero in our hearts, I think is the monkey, right?

Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, fight with the sky and the earth, only I am the Monkey King!

There is no one like a monkey who can arouse rebellion, blood, uninhibited and arrogant towards the world in our bones!

I never imagined that I would one day see a monkey with my own eyes, and even managed to talk to him for a while, even though he almost hit me with a stick.

Ah Lian refused to be reincarnated in order to preserve the monkey's memory, because she knew very well that there were fewer and fewer goblins who had the monkey's previous memories, and if even she forgot the monkey, maybe no one in this world would be able to remember him.

Because Ah Lian fused the necklace into my body, I now have a feeling of empathy with Ah Lian, and I can understand Ah Lian's helplessness and sourness.

Everyone in the world is collectively forgetting one person, even the monkey himself, no wonder Ah Lian would say "I want the world to remember him" when she first saw the monkey, but unfortunately the monkey didn't know all this.

But......

I know.

"Monkβ€”" I stared at the monk, gritted my teeth and whispered, "Tell me what I can do." ”

"Take us out of here and to your time. The monk looked at me and said, "Only then can the spell on our body be broken, and everything will not fall into reincarnation, just ......."

"Just what?"

"Some of the things on us will also disappear, for example, when a monkey comes to you, there will be no more spells, can you still accept him? a monkey who can't spell, can't do anything. ”

These words came out of the monk's mouth, which made people's hearts sour, even if the monkey couldn't do magic, how could I dislike him?

"It's okay, as long as you can end the reincarnation. ”

"Aren't you afraid of this? The monk smiled sadly.

"Apocalypse?"

I suddenly remembered that I had been struck twice in one day many days ago, and now I finally found the reason.
