There is no second chapter today, but I will post an essay on Journey to the West written before

It's called "The Death of Goku"

......

I used to be a piece of divine iron when Dayu controlled the water, and was finally cast into a divine needle by it, suppressed in the East China Sea, and protected the peace of the world.

And just like that, thousands of years passed.

In this thousand years, I have been burdened with heavy seals, and I thought that this was to help the people of the world, so I was willing to wait and wait silently.

Until one day, a monkey came in front of me.

His name is Monkey King.

……

He pulled me out with all his might, causing the East China Sea to tremble and stir up a monstrous wave.

I thought it would cause a natural disaster and harm the people of the world, but it didn't.

……

When I broke free from the soil at the bottom of the sea and broke free from the seal that had bound me for thousands of years, the East China Sea was once again peaceful.

There was no imaginary flood, and the people's lives were extremely peaceful.

In the world, there is also a great achievement of Dayu to control the water, although I don't seem to have appeared in the story, but I am still happy for the people.

……

I have lived in a place called Huaguo Mountain for hundreds of years, and I have to say that the outside world is indeed more exciting than the bottom of the sea.

Except that the monkey is annoying.

Because he had too much hair in his ears.

……

Soon, the gods came.

In order to flatten Huaguo Mountain.

……

When the monkeys fought with them, I took it for granted that I would fight Hot Wheels and fight with a three-pointed two-edged gun.

It really hurts.

……

The monkey is very powerful, and it hits the heavenly court all the way, making the heavenly court chickens and dogs restless.

Even the Jade Emperor couldn't sit still, and eventually had to seek the help of the Buddha.

……

Thereupon...

The monkey was pressed down the mountain...

Of course... And I...

It's really bad luck to die.

……

For hundreds of years, I had an awkward conversation with this stinky monkey in the mountains.

There wasn't even a candle, it was pitch black.

Well? Why does it stink?

This monkey hasn't bathed for hundreds of years, do you say it stinks?

……

For so long, I've cultivated to the point where I can transform into a human form, and he still hasn't been released.

Also, he wouldn't let me take on human form, saying that he looked like a.

No way, who made him the master.

Well... Main... Still can't beat him.

……

Until the 500th year, a bald monk tore the seal of the Buddha.

We were able to see the light of day again.

And I was inexplicably pulled into the team of learning scriptures in the west.

Although I didn't want to go, I thought that there was a chattering monk with me, so I didn't have to talk to the monkey awkwardly, so I agreed.

……

Later, a fat pig and a bearded man who didn't like to talk were also added.

In short, the life of learning from the scriptures is quite okay.

……

Until, the 467th day of the scriptures.

Suddenly, looking back, a human woman in the dim lights took my heart.

......

I fell in love with her

……

I told the monkey about it, and I told him that I didn't want to go and learn it.

The monkey's face was ugly, unsightly like it had never been.

He asked me, do you know what a "demon" is?

……

I was stunned by his question for a moment.

Then I heard him say word by word,

"In the eyes of the gods, we are all demons"

……

That sentence made me stay where I was.

The monkey's eyes widened in anger as I had never seen him before.

"Do you think that your name is Dinghai Shenpin, and you are considered an immortal? Do you think that you have been in the East China Sea for thousands of years, really to save the people of the world from floods? ”

……

I can't speak...

Before that, I had some vague conjectures in my mind, but I couldn't believe it.

……

"What a demon! The gods call everything that can't be controlled, and what can't be controlled is called a demon! ”

"You're a demon, and so am I!"

"You have been in the East China Sea for a thousand years, and they lied to you to help the common people in the world, but in fact, they are just worried that you will harm all living beings in the world, in order to seal you."

……

These words were like a blow to me and left me breathless.

I've thought about what he's talking about for hundreds of years.

It's just that I can't believe it.

But now, I believe.

……

"If you don't learn the scriptures, they will definitely send someone to kill you when they know about it!"

The monkey hissed a little.

I used to be immortal, but after I took on a human form, I became an ordinary living being.

I'm going to die, too.

…..

But I decided to stay...

…..

I asked him one last question that night.

That is, why he wanted to become a Buddha.

……

The monkey told me that he was a demon, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by the gods.

So, the only way is to be them.

So, he decided to continue on that lonely journey to the west to become a Buddha.

……

I respect his choice...

In his eyes, I saw a glint of tears, for the first time in 800 years.

That night, I scavenged 13,500 pounds of fine iron from the neighborhood and made a golden hoop rod that was exactly like mine.

Give it to him as a memento.

……

The next morning, when he left,

I looked at the back of this stinky monkey that has been with me for nearly 800 years,

It felt a little strange.

……

He's gone...

……

Without me, he would no longer be as powerful and invincible as he was when he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

The road to the west is extremely difficult and dangerous.

……

And I stayed there and lived with the human girl I fell in love with.

I plough the land with spells, and she weaves diligently.

I also taught her spells, but she was so stupid.

In four years, he could only fly to a height of three feet above the ground, and he was so scared that he cried and screamed.

……

After a few more years, I heard that Master Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty stepped on auspicious clouds and returned with more than 5,000 scriptures, and was also named the Buddha of Zhantan Merit.

And that stinky monkey was also named the Buddha of Fighting and Defeating.

His dream has come true, and I am very happy.

……

I used to think I could live happily ever after.

Until one day, the heavens finally knew that the former "Dinghai Divine Needle" was now in the mortal world and turned into a monster.

……

The Jade Emperor has a decree and decides to send someone to arrest me.

I left her side and stood alone on a nearby hill, silently waiting.

In a trance,

There was already a golden figure across the sky,

hovering high in front of me,

……

There is a halo behind one neck, and every hair on the body exudes a crystal gold... Monkey.

After more than ten years of separation, I thought I would never see him again,

As a result, we met here today.

……

I am very happy

But before I could open my mouth,

A dazzling golden rod fell from the sky.

The golden brilliance shines,

I couldn't open my eyes.

……

The monkey who once shed tears in front of me and said that he wanted to become a Buddha,

The monkey who once feared for my life and persuaded me to go with him to the west to learn scriptures,

The monkey who was crushed with me at the foot of the mountain for 500 years.

……

He was holding the golden rod that I had made with my own hands,

Speechless,

A single blow ended my life.

……

It was only before I died that I finally understood

After becoming a Buddha and abandoning the seven emotions and six desires, there will be no more feelings

I know

Goku, he's dead.
