Monkey King VI
The monkey caught up with the frightened animals in the distance.
They asked, "What about the pigs?" ”
The monkey said, "Dead." ”
They were silent.
"If the pig dies...... So what do we do? ”
"Is anyone else able to find their way to the Demon Realm?"
"I think, we can't go to the demon world......"
When the pig was alive, every time an animal died, the animals knew who was responsible; But now that the pig is dead, who should bear this responsibility?
They looked at each other, and they both saw this sentence in each other's eyes: "You go, or you go...... You can go, anyone can go, as long as it's not me, it's fine......"
"Who else can lead us to the demon world?"
They looked at each other expectantly.
"I'll come."
The animals looked back and saw the monkey holding a stone in his hand.
He lifted the stone and slashed it heavily on his arm, blood spreading from the wound and quickly staining a large patch of hair.
They looked at him with a little surprise, but no one expected that it was this monkey who was usually very silent at this time.
The monkey said lightly: "Next, I will lead you to the demon world." ”
The monkey's figure seems to be much taller.
Shaking slightly, he walked firmly to the front of the line, pointing in the direction he had dreamed of for countless days and nights.
The animals' surprised eyes finally lit up again.
They followed in the footsteps of the monkeys.
The monkey still doesn't like to talk, but when an animal asks him how long it will be to reach the demon world.
He would reply, "Demon Realm? It's just a demon world...... After we go to the demon world, we have to see the world! That's the biggest in the world! The most beautiful place! Compared to him, the demon world is nothing! ”
They were amazed and said, "Are you going to the world too?" Didn't you say that you would stop when you reached the demon realm? ”
The monkey sighed slightly: "I'm going to take you to ......"
It doesn't really matter if he wants to go or not.
Is a monkey a good leader? Animals don't have that concept.
The so-called leader is just to walk in front and show them a direction, as long as the direction is right, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad.
Another role of leaders is to be able to take responsibility when something unexpected happens. The animals can comfort themselves that it's all the leader's fault, not my business. In this way, they may feel better.
In addition to this, even if the monkeys have a difficult responsibility, they can no longer do anything for them.
They are getting closer to the demon realm day by day.
The team is also shrinking day by day.
There are more and more scars on the monkey's body.
Once, they passed by a mountain forest with many animals.
There are even monkeys.
The animals asked, "Is this the Demon Realm?" ”
The monkey said, "No." ”
"So why are the animals so happy? Aren't they afraid of humans? ”
The monkey shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with us." ”
"How can it not matter? When we go to the demon world, isn't this the kind of life we are pursuing? ”
"No matter how good it is here, it is not the demon world, our goal is the demon world."
"Wrong." Some animals shook their heads, "Our goal is to live like this!" If the demon world can give us, it can be here, then whether this is the demon world or not, and what difference does it make to us? ”
The monkey looked at him: "The life we want can only start from the demon world. This seemingly beautiful home belongs to the world after all. ”
Some animals think the monkey is right, and some animals think it's good to stay here.
So the monkey had three more scars on his body, and he took the only five remaining animals and continued to walk towards the demon world.
On the way down, several monkeys sat in the trees, looking at the expedition.
A little monkey said, "Mother! You see! The leading monkey looks like an older brother. ”
The mother monkey said nonchalantly while catching lice for the little monkey: "How is it possible! Your brother has long since died at the hands of humans......"
The little monkey said again: "Dad! You see! The leading monkey looks like an older brother! ”
The male monkey looked at it and said, "It's really quite similar, but your brother doesn't have so many scars on his body, you mistook the monkey." ”
The little monkey muttered, "But I just feel like it." ”
"What are you thinking! I was attacked by a hunter that day, and in a hurry, I only had time to run away with you, and I saw your brother get shot through the head! ”
"Maybe that's my brother......"
The mother monkey was annoyed by the little monkeys, so she asked the team to confirm: "Did you come from the great forest in the east?" ”
The animals were about to nod, but the monkey was the first to say, "No." ”
After that, the monkey left without looking back.
The mother monkey turned to the little monkey and said, "Look! I said no! ”
The monkey's expression was indifferent, knowing that he had walked down the mountain, and he did not turn back.
The animal asked, "Monkey, why don't we admit it, when we come from the great forest to the east?" ”
The monkey shook his head and did not answer.
"Didn't you die at the hands of the hunters? If you are not dead, why don't you come back? Why leave me, alone, ......"
"You should die at the hands of the hunters......"
"You guys should want to come back to me...... You should be thinking about me all the time...... It's a pity that the hunters killed you, so you can't come back...... Right! That's how you should have been...... That's the truth......"
"But...... Why, none of you are actually dead...... You are all living well, you have found such a wonderful home, and you are living very happily here...... Even if you abandon me with your own hands......"
"Am I not worthy of my life to let you risk returning......"
The monkey seemed to be more silent than ever.
He seemed to be more eager than ever to reach the Demon Realm, and they had less and less time to rest, almost day and night.
The animals complained, "Why be in such a hurry? ”
The monkey said: "The world has become more and more intolerant of us, our real home is in the demon world......"
Only the demon world is the real home.
The animals in the demon world who haven't had time to meet are all family members, more like family than their parents who abandoned him.
But their journey is still difficult.
Accidents keep coming.
Soon, including the monkeys, there were only three animals left in the entire team.
The monkey walks in front, followed by a squirrel and a rabbit.
The rabbit said, "How far is it from the demon world?" ”
The monkey said: "The demon world is not far away, but it is still far from the world. ”
The rabbit said, "Oh! That's good......"
The monkey said, "With a little more effort, we will be at our first stop." ”
"Hmm...... That's great...... I finally ...... Coming soon...... The Demon Realm...... Even if you can't see the world...... I also...... Already...... Met ......"
The rabbit's voice became quieter and quieter, and the footsteps behind it became heavier and slower......
Then there was a muffled thud, and something fell to the ground.
The monkey stopped, closed his eyes, and sighed heavily.
The squirrel ran up to the monkey and handed him a stone.
The monkey took the stone and made a cut on his hand.
The squirrel whispered, "Monkey, it's just the two of us now......"
The monkey looked back and behind him.
"yes...... There used to be a lot of animals behind me, but now ...... It's just you......"
The squirrel said, "At the beginning, the pig said that he would bring us all to the demon world......
The monkey smiled: "He broke his promise." ”
"But I don't blame him," said the squirrel, "for none of us would have been able to get here without him!" ”
The monkey said, "I have broken my promise, I promised him that I would take you all to the demon world." ”
The squirrel said, "We don't blame you either. ”
The monkey smiled: "Thank you, if you and I can go to the demon world, then I won't be too much of a failure." ”
"Absolutely." The squirrel said, "It's not far from the demon realm here. ”
The monkey nodded: "It's not far from the demon world here." ”
He took the squirrel in his hand and placed it on his shoulder.
"Squirrel, you promise me that you must survive and accompany me to the demon world."
The squirrel said, "Yes! Both of us have to survive, and we both have to go to the demon world. ”
"Hmm."
With each step, the monkey's heart flutters slightly.
It seems that the wind and dust of these days have covered that heart with a lot of dust, and every step towards the demon world must make this heart tremble and shake off some dust from above.
His heart grew brighter.
What came out of the big forest was a large team of Hao Hao Tangtang, who was rushing to the demon world at the moment, sprinting to this last section of the road. There are only two.
The monkey walked faster and faster, and he began to run!
The squirrel sat on his shoulder, clutching his hair and shouting, "So fast! It's exciting......"
"Demon Realm! It's right in front of you! "The monkey shouted!
He ran faster and faster, and every time he landed, there was an endless stream of overlapping footsteps behind him!
Heavy or light, fast or slow, regular or messy, with or without ......
Animals stood on the side of the road, passing the monkeys at a rapid pace, leaving only the remnants of the road.
But the monkey knew exactly who the afterimage belonged to.
That's a pheasant, that's a mink, that's a cat. Is it a dog...... It's a pig......
The initial team was finally assembled at this moment.
Everyone who left the team left a piece of power in the pig's body, and then the monkey inherited this power.
At this time, these forces condensed and burst out, making the monkey's feet brisk.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
......
One by one, the partners who had long since gone away appeared in front of the monkey.
The monkey gasped: "Squirrel ...... The demon world is just around the corner......"
"Good ......"
"Promise me! Let's go in together! ”
"Good ......"
In front of the monkey, there was an animal, his body was illusory and shaky, like a puff of light smoke, but he really said to the monkey: "Come on." ”
The monkey walked past him.
Not far away, another animal stood......
The monkeys passed through them one by one, and finally, the monkey saw the pig,
The pig stood sideways, and what the monkey saw was the smooth-skinned half.
The pig said, "Come! Come on! Come to me and you've made it. ”
The monkey looked at him and finally smiled: "Squirrel! We're on the verge of success! We've been walking for so long and suffering so much, and we're finally going to the demon world! ”
Only a faint voice came from the shoulder: "Good ......"
The monkey walked like the pig: "Come with me into the demon world!" You must! ”
Looking up, you can already see in the distance that it is a large cloud of green that reaches into the sky.
The monkey's eyes moistened: "I'm finally going to the demon realm!" ”
"Squirrel! We're on the verge of success! ”
His steps suddenly became heavy, and he staggered slowly, and every step was extremely difficult.
"Squirrel! We're about to go to the Demon Realm! When we enter the demon world, let's rest for a while, eat well, drink well, and sleep well! When we are recharged and energetic, we will set off again and see the world again! Good no good? ”
"The demon world is nothing! Compared to that world, the demon world is smaller. ”
The monkey finally stood in front of the pig, only one step away from him.
But he stopped at this point.
The pig turned his face: "I knew you could make it." ”
"But...... The partner who went to the end, too little......"
"You and I both know that team has always been there! It's on us! Your success belongs to us! ”
The pig pointed to the scars on his own body, and then to the scars on his body.
"You see, they're all here."
The monkey laughed as he took the final step towards the pig.
The pig's figure vanished, and his voice came from the air: "We made it." ”
But at the same time, the squirrel on the monkey's shoulder finally fell backwards and fell to the ground.
There was a soft muffled sound.
The monkey looked back, and the squirrel rolled down outside the demon realm, motionless.
The monkey took a stone from the ground and held it in his hand.
