Chapter XXVI: Dialogue
The bead curtain was torn off, and countless beads jingled through the hall, and the laughter seemed to be a girl's voice. A bare hand pierced through the void and pressed on the blood ape, making the fierce blood ape quiet, and disappeared into the air after a while, leaving only Xu Xiao who was unconscious on the spot.
As the jade hand was withdrawn, a thin figure stepped out of the void, looking weak. It was a little girl, eight or nine years old, wearing a bright yellow shirt and holding a child's hair. She looked at Xu Xiao who was unconscious on the floor curiously, tilted her head and thought about it, pointed at Xu Xiao and asked the guards who chased in behind her, "This is the prototype of the big monkey just now?"
'Jingwei, you little girl came to me for a snack again?' The lazy words reached the main hall, and the guards fell to their knees and shouted for the Golden Mother. The little girl nodded, and replied crisply, 'Yes, yes, I'm here to play with the big sister~!' With the side eyes of the guards, the little girl pulled Xu Xiao's left leg with one hand and ran towards the apse with a quick pace.
'Just let it in?' The leading guard quietly touched his companion beside him, who gave him a roll of the eyes, turned and left the hall, and went back to his duty. Shrugging his shoulders, the little leader also beckoned his subordinates to continue to be on duty, and as he walked out, he secretly glanced back at the empty hall, the terrible monkey, the terrible little girl, what is the matter!
"Big sister is so beautiful today! I want to hug it!" Xu Xiao, who was in a daze, knew that he must have become a blood ape again, otherwise his head would not hurt so much, and the sound from around him made him grunt up, but his eyes were dark, and his feelings were that his posture had become too fast, and the blood supply to his brain was insufficient. When he barely got better, he saw himself in a room with drapery folds, and the laughter of a little girl came to his ears.
"Are you awake, Xu Xiao?" a familiar voice came from behind, Xu Xiao turned around in a hurry, only to see a cute little Lori lying on top of a black leopard, what the black panther said just now. ‘。。。 Queen Mother?' Xu Xiao couldn't turn around, and asked hesitantly.
'You broke into my front hall and asked me who I am?' the panther changed his position so that the little girl on his body would not fall.
Xu Xiao also knew that he was asking the wrong question, but it was really hard to believe that the black panther in front of him who let the little girl play with her tail was the Queen Mother of the West who was high up yesterday. So he fell silent, his eyes lowered and he didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother of the West.
"Big sister, this human being is so strange! Just now it was a big monkey, and I touched it and became a human, it's not fun at all! I miss the hairy monkey before!" the little girl said slowly, pointing at Xu Xiao with the tail of the black panther. "Don't think about that monkey, how much older are you, and you play with people all day long, are you ashamed?" The Queen Mother of the West also wagged her tail and teased the little girl, "Don't join this human being, he still has a lot of big things to do." The little girl pouted and let go of her tail, turned and embraced her arms, sulking.
"What's the situation now?" Xu Xiao wanted to ask in his heart, why did he come in?, but he didn't dare to move now, and the eyes of the several maids around him were full of anger as if they were going to kill him.
'Alright, alright, don't be angry. What a little girl, still angry!' The Queen Mother of the West was shrouded in a burst of bright light, and after turning into the familiar appearance of Xu Xiao yesterday, she hugged the little girl on her lap and teased her little nose. The little girl was still holding her arms, but she was already laughing. 'Big sister, do I want this person to be my pet?'
'Don't say yes!!!' Xu Xiao was already in a circle at this time, and silently prayed to the Queen Mother in her heart, and before he could say a few more good words, the Queen Mother of the West had already rejected the little girl. "No, this human has a lot to do, if you want to, you can follow him." The Queen Mother gently pinched the little girl's face, and seduced her step by step.
'Yes, yes. The little girl didn't think anything of it, and her eyes were smiling like crescents. 'Then why don't you go and eat dim sum with these beautiful sisters?' I've prepared a lot of new dim sum. The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the two maids stepped forward. The little girl thought of the snack, and her face was full of 'mmmmmmmm' satisfaction, and she followed the maid out of the room.
"Xu Xiao, let's say, although you ran to me unconsciously today, you have to give me an excuse." The Queen Mother of the West watched the little girl leave, and looked at Xu Xiao, who was standing still.
"Queen Mother, I didn't mean to become a blood ape! I saw me turn into a blood ape with Zhu Qian's help today, I just want to ask you, am I becoming a monster now?, am I still a human being?" Xu Xiao also let go, told the Queen Mother what happened today, and half-knelt down, hoping that the Queen Mother could give him a good answer.
Now I really want to laugh. Xu Xiao, do you know, 1300 years ago, there was also such a monkey kneeling here and asking me, is he considered a traitor, can he turn back into a monster, you are the same as him. I'll tell you some secrets, and I hope you keep your mouth shut. The Queen Mother of the West looked directly at Xu Xiao and said in a leisurely tone. Xu Xiao thought about it in his heart and thought of an incredible character.
At that time, the dynasty of your human race should be the Tang Dynasty, and the two families of Buddhism and Taoism were still only a small-scale conflict, and you human beings were killing each other much more terrifying than us. Suddenly, one day, the southeast of Shenzhou emitted a colorful glow in the sky, and the spirit stone left by my former senior sister to make up the sky gave birth to a living being, causing everyone to rush to see what the treasure was, and when they got there, there was only rubble everywhere. After that, both Buddhists and Taoists believed that the other party had grabbed the treasure first, and the conflict expanded to all living beings, including your human court. At this time, the monkey turned into a spiritual stone got acquainted with Shennong's daughter Jingwei, inspired by it, went to sea to learn art, and worshiped my uncle in a daze. Later, in the battle with Buddhism, the dragon and the tiger were revealed, and the essence of the spirit stone was discovered. Buddhism is powerful, forcibly oppresses Taoism, deceives Taoist masters to hide in the world, and demands the surrender of stone monkeys. The head of Taoism at that time was a practitioner of Taoism in the world, who despised demons, and used monkeys to play a big game of chess with Buddhism, sacrificing monkeys, in exchange for a land to survive. At this, the Queen Mother of the West shook her head, and the four steps on her head were very piercing.
'Sun... Sun Wukong?' Xu Xiao listened in a daze, but he didn't expect it to be exactly the same as what he thought, but the inside story was like this, and he muttered out.
It seems that you human beings have been circulating these legends for thousands of years? I still think that you have destroyed the Tao like the Buddha! But these legends are all Taoist excuses to cover up their shame, and there are not many truths. The Queen Mother of the West also widened her eyes in slight surprise, and then continued lightly.
The monkey couldn't find the master, and knew that he had been betrayed, so he rushed to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to make a fuss, and killed the head of Taoism on the spot, so he came to me to inquire about his master. Where is my uncle so easy to find, after I rejected him, he asked me this question. As if she was tired, the Queen Mother raised her hand and beckoned the maid to bring her a few cups of tea.
'Laugh, I've lived so long, that's why this tea can be eaten. Smiling apologetically, the Queen Mother of the West put down the cup and asked the maid to hand it to Xu Xiao, Xu Xiao hurriedly waved her hand and refused, and the maid was not polite, and turned around and left directly.
I thought about it for a long time before I told him. The Queen Mother of the West looked at Xu Xiao's eyes and said slowly, "The demon starts from the birth of the demon yuan, even if it has changed into thousands of forms, the heart is a demonic heart, a simple nature." Since the awakening of wisdom, human beings have not had the innate ability, but they have all kinds of strange mentalities, and their shapes have not changed. A demon who has transformed cannot be said to be a demon, but a person who has not transformed can be scolded for not being a person. All the questions are decided within you, and you can move with your heart. It's a pity that although I have lived for 10,000 years, I don't know all about this heart, and I can't answer you clearly, and you have to understand everything yourself. ’
Xu Xiao nodded, he understood the general situation in his heart, but he still had to ask himself, and after saying goodbye to the Queen Mother of the West, he left here. The Queen Mother of the West looked at this figure, her eyes beating with cunning.
Out of the front hall, the broken bead curtain has been repaired, and the environment of the illusion is still so comfortable, except for Zhu Zhen standing at the door with a black face, everything is so harmonious.
'You!' Zhu Zhen was already angry, and was about to slap him, but the Queen Mother of the West summoned him at this time, glanced at Xu Xiao fiercely, and turned around and entered the main hall.
Xu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and was about to leave, but a crisp child's voice came from behind him.
'Red Monkey, where are you going? Wait for me!'
