Chapter Twenty-Four: Grief and Incomprehension
Tilting his head to look at Tang Seng, the black bear spirit suddenly burst out, jumped up and pushed Tang Seng hard. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info caught off guard, and only had time to protect the Jia on his shoulder, and the defenseless Tang Seng fell to the ground. The black bear spirit ran to Tang Seng's side, and then snatched the robe from his arms.
Holding the robe and running to the far corner of the hole, the black bear spirit said loudly: "I don't care about the future, I want what I like right away!" You said you came because of this robe, then I won't give it back to you. I want you to play with me, and always play with me! ”
“…… It's a shame I can't. Embarrassed to get up from the ground, Tang Seng looked at his stinging arm, the flesh of his elbow was blurred, obviously injured when he fell.
"Meow!" Obviously, he also found Tang Seng in his hand, and Jia, who was protected by him, became a little irritable, and the sharp killing intent in his blood-colored eyes flashed, as if he was ready to pounce on the black bear spirit at any time.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Comforting the restless Jia, Tang Seng was not angry because of the black bear spirit's actions, he was still full of smiles, and he said calmly: "Xiao Hei, give me the robe." ”
"Don't give it!"
"Give it to me." The tone was slightly accentuated.
"If you don't give it, you won't give it!"
"Really, don't give it?"
"......" The black bear spirit didn't speak this time, but her stubborn expression gave Tang Seng an answer.
"Really? I see. Let me give you one last piece of advice, true love will never come reluctantly, and the forced feelings are just a mirror. Shaking his head slightly, Tang Seng sighed and turned away without hesitation.
The black bear was anxious: "Hey, don't you want your robe?" Doesn't that say it's important? As long as you promise to stay and play with me, I'll give it back to you! ”
The footsteps paused slightly, Tang Seng did not answer, and did not even look back, leaving only the black bear spirit who left, he covered his injured hand, staggering, a little embarrassed, but full of neat and resolute back.
……
"Beloved."
Looking at Tang Seng who walked out of the cave with his arms covered, the Yiren outside the cave greeted him, and the obvious traces of Tang Seng made the Yiren find that he was injured at once, and she was a little distressed: "Didn't you go to get the robe back?" Love, why are you hurt? Senior sister, haven't you always been by your beloved's side? How can you watch him get hurt? ”
Sun Wukong did not obey Tang Seng's order to stay outside the cave, but turned into a small mosquito and hid it on Tang Seng's clothes and entered the cave with him. Before, when the black bear spirit pushed down Tang Seng and snatched the robe, he couldn't help but want to change back to his original form and shoot, but was stopped by Tang Seng. Although I don't know how Tang Seng found out about himself, since he was unwilling, Sun Wukong finally chose to be patient.
In Yiren's questioning, a wing flew out of Tang Seng's collar, and Sun Wukong changed back, and she was angry: "It's not that damn goblin, the master kindly let her go, and even hurt him, if the master didn't let him, my old Sun would have taken out the golden hoop stick just now and killed the monster who would take revenge!" ”
"A lonely and willful little girl, there is nothing to worry about."
Smiled gently, Tang Seng's uninjured hand touched Sun Wukong's head: "You too, don't remember to fight and kill all day long, although you are not a monk, but Wukong, you are different from a teacher, and you can barely deserve the word monk." Remember, monks should be compassionate, understand? ”
"My grandson only understands, master, you are a fool! It's obviously hurting you, but it's not a good thing to say anything good about the monster who doesn't know what to do. Forcefully took away the hand that was raging on his head, Sun Wukong said hatefully: "Let my old grandson refuse, I have to ask for it myself." It's good now, the robe didn't get back, but you were injured first, master. What to do? The robe is still in the hands of the monster, is it possible that you have to wait here all the time, and wait for the monster to return the robe before he changes his life and continue to learn from the scriptures? ”
"No, we'll leave at once."
"Hey, the robe?!"
"I gave it to her, it's just a robe anyway." Tang Seng didn't care. Originally, in his eyes, the robe was no different from other robes, if it weren't for the fact that it was given by Guanyin, it was said to be a robe for the person who learned the scriptures to meet the gods and Buddhas. That kind of luxurious and extravagant clothes, Tang Seng won't even bring them.
Although it is a headache to see Guanyin again after losing the robe, if Guanyin asks how to answer, it is difficult to say: Ah, I'm sorry, I lost it? Tsk, so if you say it, it is estimated that you will be criticized by Guanyin, and by the way, you will also take the willow branches, right?
But forget it, even if he may be taught a lesson by Guanyin at that time, Tang Seng is really not interested in snatching back the robe from a little girl who will cry "everyone bullies me", and he will be so defenseless that he obediently took off his clothes because of his words, even if the little girl is not actually a little girl, but a monster with advanced cultivation, the robe is his own!
Hearing Tang Seng say this, Sun Wukong suddenly became anxious: "How can you do it, didn't you say that it was given by the Bodhisattva?" Don't do it, what should you do when the Bodhisattva blames the master? ”
"Do you think you will be afraid of being a teacher?" Asking Sun Wukong's question, Tang Seng said in an unquestionable tone: "Don't robe, go!" ”
Yiren nodded meekly, Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and wanted to oppose for a long time, but after facing the resolute and serious eyes of Tang Seng, he suddenly seemed to be deflated and decadent.
"Yes~! Master. Weakly responded, Sun Wukong walked away haughtily, and took the initiative to pick up his luggage and lead the way in front.
Looking back at the Batu Cave for the last time, Tang Seng shook his head and refused Yiren's support, and strode away.
……
In the Batu Caves. Curled up and hiding in the far corner of the cave, the black bear spirit is as helpless as if abandoned by the whole world.
"Why...... Obviously, obviously I just want to play with me alone, why, why never? ”
"Because I'm stupid, everyone comes to lie to me and take advantage of me, so if you can make me not alone, forget it, why do you secretly laugh at me behind my back...... Why? ”
"Is it wrong to be stupid? I just don't want to think about things that are too complicated, just simple and pure, and live a carefree life, why do everyone come to lie to me and bully me? Is it wrong to practice hard and be strong so that others can bully you? Why don't you work hard, but you are jealous of me? ”
"Why should a fool be a genius...... It's really funny, if you are like me, you spend all your time except eating and cultivating, even if you sleep and meditate instead, you will be very powerful. ”
"Greedy? Obviously I just want to be alone with me. It doesn't need to be too powerful, as long as you can play with me, care for me, comfort me when I'm sad, make me not lonely, and make me happy. But why, there has never been such a person? ”
"Sincere practice, sincere wishes, but why, more than a thousand years, I am still a person until now?"
"It's weird. When I was bullied just now, it was so strange when that person stopped in front of him and said don't kill me. Obviously he was in the same league as the person who bullied me, and I stole his robe, so why did he have to protect himself? ”
"It's weird, but ...... It's so fun. Because he can know that he doesn't have ulterior motives to protect himself, he just wants to protect himself and not let himself be killed. ”
"It's so fun. He was able to come back when he was crying, and then he was so happy to comfort himself. It's the first time someone cares about themselves without a purpose, and it's the first time someone comforts themselves without a purpose, even if he keeps being called stupid and taught by him, it's so happy. ”
"But why, why are you leaving? Obviously he was so good to me at the beginning, but in the end, why didn't he look back coldly, and he didn't even reply to a word? ”
"That's weird...... Whew, that's weird......"
In the brilliance of the robe, the curled black bear spirit lifted its delicate little face, and its face was stained with tears. Unable to suppress the strange sadness and loss in her heart, holding the robe that she had snatched at the cost of injuring Tang Seng in the hope of keeping him to play with her, she cried loudly: "It's just, I just don't want to be alone...... Why, why is it so hard!! ”
