Chapter 84: The Consequences of Punishment
said that Chang'e's tears turned into a cloud of sorrow in the sky, and soon wrapped the golden Guanghan Palace layer by layer......
For a while, the yin-yang mirror was dim, and nothing could be seen. And the descendants of the moon in the mirror are already dumbfounded!
"Senior brother, senior brother, what's wrong with you? are you okay?" Feng'er, who was holding the treasure mirror, said with concern.
"I ...... Not...... It ...... a long time before the descendants spit out three words in despair.
"Descendant, you are already in the dust, are you willing to go up the mountain to cultivate with your teacher again?" said the Queen Mother of the West indifferently.
"Go up the mountain to cultivate the Tao, Master, when the disciple followed you to learn the Tao for three years, he only left ......Kunlun because he was eager to think of his wife," the descendant's face turned pale, and there was obviously a little resentment between his words, "In the past five hundred years, although the disciple has been separated from Chang'e Heaven and Earth, he has been thinking about her all the time...... The disciple has always wondered why you are still obstructing the disciples again and again to prevent the reunion of the disciples and their husbands and wives, because your old man is so hard to force each other to force each other like this?"
"Descendant, don't you really know the painstaking work of being a teacher?" The Queen Mother of the West said angrily: "If the people in my generation want to become immortals, they should be separated from their feelings and have no worries, this is the ......number of days."
"Days, days, it's this abominable number of days!Master, if the disciple fails your days and forgets his inner son Chang'e, what's the use of becoming an immortal?" The descendant suddenly became excited, "If you can't accompany Chang'e day and night, and stay together, the disciple will never become an immortal......"
The descendant who was out of control shouted hoarsely, shocking everyone present! And the nine-headed dragon leech squatting on the side was also frightened by his angry master, and cried "Wow......
"Brother dragon leech, let's go, go and break through that hateful ...... of days" The descendant was furious, jumped on the back of the dragon leech, and slapped the lion's head in the middle of it, and the ancient beast immediately roared with hooves, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the infinite expanse in the blink of an eye......
The descendant's almost crazy behavior was beyond everyone's expectations, causing the air at the scene to freeze all of a sudden! After a long while, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly said to Wukong, who was stunned: "The world is impermanent, and there are thousands of sufferings, and once he enters the reincarnation of ten thousand thoughts, if he is as good as you, alas, ......."
With a helpless sigh, the golden light flashed in front of the Broken Head Ridge, and the Queen Mother of the West and all the immortals suddenly disappeared......
All of a sudden, the Potou Ridge, which had just been shining with divine light and as bright as day, fell into pitch black! The night sky with no stars and moon was like a huge black curtain hanging over everyone's heads, making people shudder a little.
"Swarm...... Lord, how is this ...... Is it dark, is it...... Not of descent ...... The older brother annoyed the West ...... Queen Mother, she ...... In his anger, he covered the heavens...... Look...... Come from now on, I'm ...... They all turned their eyes open...... Blind, only ...... Can I rely on autumn ...... Sister Water's ...... Twin night eyes to attract ...... ...... way," the little mute said as he looked up at the sky.
"The little brother is talking crazy again, even if the Queen Mother of the West has the means, she can't cover the sky with one hand, right?" Qiushui couldn't help but laugh: "This should be the time when yin and yang alternate, as the saying goes, the darkness before dawn is the darkest time of the day......"
"Yes, there is no blacker than before dawn! But the extremes of things must be reversed, and the heavens and the earth will eventually usher in the dawn...... But what about the descendants...... After this blow, he is afraid that he will fall into endless darkness in the depths of his heart......" Wukong locked his eyebrows and sighed in the sky, only to see that there was a touch of fish belly white in the eastern sky......
A moment later, a little bit of glow appeared around the white belly of the fish, burning quickly like a spark! So, the power of light gradually grew, the power of darkness gradually faded, and the outline of Broken Head Ridge reappeared in front of everyone.
A gust of mountain wind whistled by! While avoiding the limelight, everyone suddenly felt that although the wind was tight, it was not cold, and although the wind was strong, it did not carry dust and sand. And after the gale, a rich fragrance of flowers filled the early morning of Potouling.
"Chirp...... Chirping ...... "Perhaps attracted by the scent of flowers, a flock of unknown wild birds suddenly rose from the chaotic bushes in front of the ridge and chased away after the wind......
"The birds are singing, the day is dawning, brothers, let's go west......" Wukong looked at the shadowy westward path in front of the ridge, thinking about the bumpy fate of his descendants, and then thinking of his enigmatic life experience, his heart surged for a while, and he had mixed feelings......
With the morning light above their heads and the dew on their feet, a group of six people were silent, walking for more than ten miles along the winding mountain trail, and seeing that the road to the west gradually widened.
After walking forward for five or six miles, the road under our feet has evolved into a three, four zhang wide, flat road surface, planted with mulberry, willow, elm, acacia and other trees on both sides of the road, and there is no end in sight of the official road.
At this time, the morning sun is shining and warm. Looking back, but I saw the far away Broken Head Ridge full of mountains and flowers, the towering flying peaks and clouds were steaming, and there seemed to be a pair of white cranes flying around, just like a fairyland.
"Hey, the crowd...... Lord, Truly...... It's weird, what's the ...... In the night, the broken head ...... Variation of the ridge ...... How big is that? Fly ...... Isn't it just to come to the peak...... Just passing through the ...... Didn't you ...... anything? There is a hint of decay...... Signs of defeat......" exclaimed the little mute.
"This is not the strangest thing, Brother Shan, you see, the flowers and trees on the side of the road are growing very luxuriantly, and there is not even a single fallen leaf on the ground, so it doesn't look like the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed...... Qiushui also said suspiciously.
"Yes, yesterday on August 19, it was the mid-autumn season, let's explore Touling and enter the Guangyin Cave to meet Brother Xingtian, it was dusk when we came out of the cave, why did it suddenly arrive in March after one night?" Wukong was also puzzled.
"That's right, isn't this green willow and poplar spitting ears, just March spring?" "That's right, this wind is warm?" "And this flower is blooming, it's incredible?" Everyone was amazed......
At this time, a donkey cart drove from west to east on the official road, driven by a strong man in his twenties. The strong man was waving a long whip and humming a country song with great interest.
Suddenly, the strong man saw Wukong and the others from a distance. He was stunned for a moment, then stopped the donkey with a "whoosh", turned around and muttered a few words to a young woman with a baby in her arms sitting in the cart, then jumped out of the cart, drove the cart to the side of the road, and tied the reins to the tree.
The young woman held the sleeping baby in her arms, and with the support of the strong man, she also got out of the donkey cart, and together with the strong man, she walked as fast as flying, and came to Wukong to cut close, and both knelt down, and said that she was a good man......
"Engong?" Wukong looked at a man and a woman kneeling in front of him, dressed plainly, and suddenly fell into a fog.
"Engong, you don't know our husband and wife, I'm the sixth son of the criminal!" Last autumn on the Feilai Peak, when Xing Yu forced his mother to death and wanted to kill his inner son, it was you and all the heroes who took a righteous action to eradicate the criminal Yu and get our husband and wife out of trouble!" said the sixth son of Xing with tears in his eyes and said very excitedly.
"Xing Liuzi? Yes, it's Xing Liuzi, he and his descendants and brothers saved their family, but that was yesterday? How could he say that it was last autumn?" Wukong was even more puzzled in his heart, he picked up the two Xing Liuzi and his wife, and smiled at them: "Little brother, don't be polite, the world is in charge of the world's affairs, and a few of us just happened to meet......
"Thank you, Grace, last autumn, after you rescued us, there was a landslide on Feilai Peak, and even the old man's temple collapsed, and I was very worried for a while, afraid that you would be in danger...... Now it's good, Ji people are in the sky, Engongguo is a person of great wealth, nobility and great creation...... "Xing Liuzi's eyebrows are dancing, very talkative," it is strange to say, since the Feilai Peak landslide, it has rained in the autumn in the area of our Potouling, and in winter, the goose feather snow has fallen several times! After the Spring Festival, the people of our whole evil tiger village did not wait for the snow on the mountain to melt away, so they went up to Feilai Peak, and now the sinkhole on the top of the peak has been filled, and the Xingtian Old Man Temple has been rebuilt, and the golden bodies of several benefactors have been molded in the temple. A few days after the completion of the golden body, the mountains and flowers bloomed on the broken head ridge, changing the desolation of the past. The villagers all say that you are the same as the Lord Xingtian, and you are also the stars in the sky......"
"Hey, hey, group...... Lord, I want to ...... Not to me...... We are also ...... The incense is ...... Immortal ......" The little mute suddenly stroked his hands and laughed.
"Brother Liuzi, thank you for being so kind to me and other brothers, I don't know where you came from and where you are going with a donkey cart now?" Wukong also smiled.
"Eun Gong, that's right. After you saved Neiko last year, when she arrived in Layue, she gave birth smoothly ......" Xing Liuzi pointed to the baby in the young woman's arms and said: "This is the dog, which weighed eight catties when it was first born, and now it has been more than 100 days." Our husband and wife are taking advantage of the Rakshasa country every year on March 15 before the temple sacrifice ceremony, to the Niangniang Palace to worship and repair the Rakshasa who would have thought that they would return to this place, and they happened to meet the Engong ......"
"Rakshasa Country, Shurakshasa ......" Wukong's heart moved, "Brother Liuzi, is this Rakshasa Country a necessary place on the way west?"
"Yes, Eun Gong. The Rakshasa country governs the territory within a radius of three hundred miles, and the folk customs are quite simple, but something has happened in the court recently...... "Xing Liuzi said and looked around quite mysteriously, "I heard that the concubine in the palace is pregnant with a freak, and some people say that it is a demon fetus......"
"Liuzi, you are talking nonsense again!" the young woman with the baby in her arms suddenly rebuked with a frightened face.
"Tell Engong what you're afraid of? and you're not an outsider?" Xing Liuzi smiled unconvinced.
"Brother and sister, rest assured, my brothers and other brothers are also passers-by of the Rakshasa Kingdom on this westward trip, as for the affairs of the Rakshasa Kingdom, as far as we are concerned, it is just a conversation after dinner...... Wukong smiled: "Brother Liuzi, it has been a hundred days since the son of Ling, I don't know if I can take a name?"
"I've taken a few nicknames, all of them are cats, dogs, and the like, and they can't be put on the stage. The sixth son of the punishment arched his hand at Wukong, "I am fortunate to meet Engong today, so please ask Engong to give the dog a name, right?"
"Let me think about it...... Wukong didn't refuse, he paced back and forth for a few steps, and suddenly had an idea, "Brother Liuzi, you are quite eloquent, this son will also be a man of tongue debate in the future, as the saying goes, words must be believed, deeds must be fruitful, I think he will be called 'Punishment Fruit'......"
As soon as Wukong spoke, the sleeping baby in the young woman's arms suddenly opened his eyes and grinned......
