Twenty miles west of the capital of Zhu Ziguo, Tang Sanzang and his entourage bid farewell to King Zhu Zi and embarked on the road to the west again.

On the occasion of parting, King Zhu Zi was very grateful to Tang Sanzang, and repeatedly persuaded Tang Sanzang not to continue to travel west, and he was willing to sit with Tang Sanzang on an equal footing in the glory and wealth of Zhu Ziguo, with all his kindness and commitment.

It's a pity that Tang Sanzang, who was accustomed to wearing a monk's robe and had a clean breeze on his sleeves, politely refused King Zhu Zi's persuasion, and also rejected the things outside his body that King Zhu Zi gave him, just considering that his disciples were eating, drinking, and having fun...... Ahem, food, clothing, shelter and transportation need some money, so I tearfully accepted some gold, silver and jewelry.

"Holy monk, if you go west and need help, you can let Elder Sun convey it, but if you have the power to do it, you will not shirk ......it."

"Greetings to the Holy Monk !!"

With the voices of King Zhu Zi and many soldiers, Tang Sanzang and his party gradually drifted away.

"Master......"

Zhu Bajie quietly glanced at Sha Seng's heavy box, and in a flash in his heart, he recalled the incident that the monkey had played by buying oranges, and couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Look at Lao Sha's luggage, why don't you let me help share it with Lao Zhu?"

However, before Tang Sanzang could answer, the upright sand monk responded to Zhu Bajie considerately. "Second senior brother, don't worry, I have the strength to carry the mountain, these bags look bloated, but in fact they are not a burden to me, you can just open the way."

"No, Lao Sha, you're tired, haven't you been tired of picking up your luggage for so many years?" Zhu Bajie reminded.

Hearing this, Sha Seng said with a big satisfied smile on his face. "I'm not tired, compared to the millions of swords in the quicksand river, this bit of baggage is nothing."

Regarding the conversation between Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, Tang Sanzang listened to it in his ears, but he didn't have the heart to talk, but closed his eyes slightly and let Ao Yu carry him westward, feeling the changes in his body.

It was that familiar feeling again.

After Zhu Ziguo's catastrophe, between the merit and luck that befell him, Tang Sanzang felt that his physique was about to reach the limit of the separation that was difficult to settle back then.

Approach......

It's already very close, and even to a certain extent, the physical gap between it and Yi Nanping has reached the point of being minimal.

But the way forward is ...... What will it be?

Last time, after the physique reached its limit, it was inexplicably relieved by separating the unsatisfactory body, and now Tang Sanzang's physique has been overturned again, and it is much more solid than in the past, and this time there is no such feeling of separation.

What's more, the "Ground Level Limiter", which was gradually being ignored by Tang Sanzang, could vaguely feel that it was about to be pushed to the point of perfection in Tang Sanzang's feelings.

Maybe soon...... Heavenly Steps?

Tang Sanzang's brows furrowed slightly, instead of feeling happy, his heart was full of complexity, indescribable complexity, and he couldn't help but set his eyes on the monkey, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and the white dragon horse gently stroking his crotch with one hand.

If the Heavenly Staircase is the end, does it mean that the westward journey is also coming to an end?

Will the westward journey finally come to an end?

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Sanzang faintly felt that he seemed to be about to part with his apprentices, and a lot of reluctance appeared in his heart.

Although the journey to the west was hard, with the company of his disciples, it was a lot of fun.

The meticulous monkey noticed that Tang Sanzang's expression was not as kind and peaceful as usual, but instead looked at them with an indescribable tenderness and sorrow in the middle of his gaze, and couldn't help but ask.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Tang Sanzang turned to look at the monkey's concerned eyes, his heart was even more complicated, but he didn't want to show it, so he instinctively covered it up. "No, Your Majesty is wise and benevolent, thinking of his feelings of dependence and parting, I feel a lot, and I am inexplicably reluctant to give up my heart for the teacher."

"It's okay, Master, if you want to come to this Zhuzi King in the future, my grandson can go again, start again from the Tang Dynasty and go west, or after arriving at Lingshan, turn back again, you can do it."

As the monkey spoke, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Speaking of which, the monkey has always had some regret in his heart, but he did not accompany Tang Sanzang to set off from the Tang Dynasty, and he only met the master halfway.

This is a pity for the monkey, if you go again, won't you be able to make up for it?

And Zhu Bajie, who was on the side, heard this, and couldn't help but step forward to curry favor. "Master, old pig...... The old pig is also willing to accompany you again, that is, can you allow the old pig to go back to Gao Laozhuang for a vacation, ten years, the old pig, I have some thoughts about Cuilan after all. ”

However, Zhu Bajie's passionate words were directly exposed by the monkey.

"Idiot, my grandson sees what Cuilan is thinking about you, respectively, thinking about the oath you made back then, and after accompanying the master to the West Tianling Mountain, you can go to find some women to be happy, right?"

"Nonsense, where am I this kind of person, old pig?" Zhu Bajie immediately retorted.

"Tell me what's wrong?" The monkey asked rhetorically.

And the sand monk who followed the last with the burden also took two steps forward and said loudly. "Master, where Master is is my home, wherever Master goes, I will go too......"

"Brother Holy Monk, you won't leave Ao Yu behind, will you?"

For a while, even Ao Yu made a lot of noise, and asked Tang Sanzang softly in the Lingtai Consciousness Sea.

In this regard, Tang Sanzang stroked the head of the white dragon horse a little helplessly, and said a word to this Ao Yu, who was still a little ignorant of the world, in the sea of Lingtai knowledge.

"Okay, the poor monk doesn't leave Yu'er."

Merely......

Tang Sanzang sighed secretly, and his intuition told him that he might not have a chance to become a Buddha.

And as a human monk, if you don't become a Buddha, life is just a hundred years, how to accompany these long-lived and eternal disciples?

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Sanzang said with a slight smile while still stroking the white dragon horse's head with one hand. "Apprentices, being a teacher is a mortal after all, and he has an end of life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk the road to the west again."

"Don't worry, Master." The monkey said with some certainty.

"In any case, as long as Master you arrive at Lingshan, it will be a matter of great merit, even if Buddhism does not give fruit positions, in order to achieve positive fruits, the way of heaven will also descend, it is not difficult to live forever, and isn't there still my grandson? Between heaven and earth, there are countless longevity spirit fruit spiritual roots, which are enough to ensure the master's long and eternal life. ”

"Idiots, we are masters and apprentices after all, how can we always be by the teacher's side? There will be a day when I will be a teacher. ”

Or the intuition of separation in the dark, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but say.
