Chapter Seventy-Nine: Maturity
If the price of maturity is to be scarred, then Sun Wukong feels that he doesn't need to be mature, not only does he not need to be mature, but he will not be the Monkey King, if he does not become the Monkey King, he will not go overseas to seek immortals, if he does not go to seek immortals, then he will live an ordinary life, like an extremely ordinary monkey, sleep after eating, continue to eat, and then step into the six reincarnations when he is getting old, and he is extremely simple.
However, there was no turning back after some things were opened, he became the Monkey King, became Bi Ma Wen, became the Monkey King, became the Monkey King, and then lost his beloved, lost his home in the depths of his heart, and lost the most cherished and least cherished thing.
The flames of the Bagua Furnace rose again, and the blazing feeling made Sun Wukong feel infinite pain, and he felt that his eyes had been blackened by the flames of the Bagua Furnace, so that he could no longer see anything.
"Is this how you end?Do you think Taishang Laojun will give you a pair of eyes that can see everything clearly?" Sun Wukong struggled in the alchemy furnace, and then such a voice sounded in his head, he stared, but saw nothing.
He was blind, and so blind, that he didn't even know where the flames were coming from, or even whether they burned his soul or his body......
He felt himself slowly sinking, slowly sinking, and then he felt his soul slowly descending.
"Who are you?"
"I am the obsession you never gave up, and I am the Monkey King who will never give in. The voice was resolute.
"What's wrong with me now, so where am I?" Sun Wukong stayed in this blazing void blankly, he seemed to have forgotten a lot of things, he began to forget why Lao Jun would arrest him to come to the alchemy furnace, and why he was so uncomfortable.
"You're in the heat of your lust, and you've been tempering until the day you can make it out. ”
"So when will these things end?"
"I don't know, I'm just your obsession......"
Then, the voice disappeared, and I don't know how long later, Sun Wukong trembled faintly, and he seemed to feel a chill.
Suddenly, a strange light came, and he realized that he could see clearly, and he saw that he was in a dark river, and the river was full of wailing lonely souls......
"You're here? I didn't expect you to come. In front of a bridge, he saw an old woman with an ugly face.
"Who are you, no, you are Meng Po, this is Nai He Bridge, this is the underworld?" Sun Wukong looked around in shock, and then was stunned, he came to the underworld, so he said that he was dead, even if his soul was not dead, his body was absolutely dead.
"Yes, this is the underworld, and I am Meng Po. Meng Po nodded, holding a bowl of hot soup and came to Sun Wukong.
"Is this Meng Po soup? Meng Po soup that can forget everything?" Sun Wukong scratched his head.
"Yes, it's indeed Meng Po soup, drink it, when you drink it, you can forget something. Meng Po laughed, but her smile was very gentle.
"What's in front of that?" Sun Wukong looked into the distance, he saw a boat, and then there was a furry monkey sitting on the boat who was very interested in everything, he couldn't figure it out, obviously the monkeys had been completely written off by him, why are there monkeys here?
No, they're not monkeys, they must be other youkai!
"They're monkeys, they're monkeys, just like you. ”
"But ......"
"It is better to give them immortality than to let them obey the cycle of life, and sometimes it is a pain to live with an infinite lifespan. ”
"Pain? "Sun Wukong can't understand, isn't immortality good, why is it painful?
"Isn't it painful to see themselves slowly getting old, their physical strength slowly declining, and then they begin to slowly become unable to climb even an ordinary tree, but they are very hungry when they are alive, and they can't die when they die? Even if they die, they can only wander around Huaguo Mountain without souls, isn't this pain? Or rather, this is a sin, a kind of original sin. ”
"I was wrong. Sun Wukong lowered his head, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart, he had never thought that this would be the case before.
"Drink it. ”
"Am I going to be reincarnated?"
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but there's nothing wrong with drinking it. ”
"Hmm. Sun Wukong picked up the bowl of soup, then looked around, and resolutely drank it, "If there is a next life, I must not be a monkey, I must be a human being." Sun Wukong looked ahead, looked at the reincarnation mirror in front of him, and then stepped onto the bridge and walked step by step.
"No, you don't want to go to reincarnation, you jump out of the Three Realms, you are not in the Five Elements, no one can help you. ”
"So, why did you let me drink the soup?"
"Because you came to the Nai He Bridge and saw my Meng Po. ”
"What's going on, my body, what's going on with my body...... Why?" Sun Wukong wanted to ask some more questions, but before he could speak, he found that his body began to slowly blur, as if it had been blurred into air.
"It's just fate, after drinking Meng Po soup, you will understand your fate. ”
"But, why does my head hurt so much?" Sun Wukong hugged his head and began to grit his teeth.
"It's always painful to know the past, to know the future. Meng Po sighed, "You go back......"
Get back?
Where to go?
Huaguo Mountain, Heavenly Court, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, or ......
Gossip furnace?
................................................
Ancient roads, fresh winds, green leaves.
When Wang Chen came to the corner of the Heavenly Court and saw the piece of green leaves that fell from the branches, he raised his head blankly.
Then, Taishang Laojun rode a bull from the ancient road and walked over slowly.
"I've been waiting. Taishang Laojun walked down the cow and looked at Wang Chen, and Wang Chen was also looking at Taishang Laojun, this Lao Tzu, this saint, this most accountable alchemist in the heavenly court......
"It didn't take long, and I didn't wait. ”
"How did you know I was here?" Taishang Laojun looked at Wang Chen, and then smiled slightly.
"Actually, I don't know, it's all about luck. ”
"You're in luck, then. ”
"No matter how unlucky a person is, his luck will always be better once or twice. ”
"And what about after one or two?"
"Then it depends on the sky. Wang Chen pointed to the sky, "Of course, I don't usually believe this." ”
"You're funny. Lao Jun touched his beard, and then tied the ox up.
"I hope you're as interesting as I am. After Wang Chen looked at Lao Jun's smile, he also laughed and tried to win him over.
"But we are different, or rather, we were different from the beginning. ”
"Why?"
"Since the master joined the way, we have followed the long path that has gradually become clearer, step by step to the present, no one has changed, and those who say stupid things like my fate is up to me, I can't help it, generally don't live long. ”
"What if I say this?"
"You can try, of course, you can fail, in short, no one will care about you. ”
"Can you help me?"
"I've been helping you. ”
"No, you've been helping yourself, if Sun Wukong can break the shackles, you'll be successful, but if you can't break it, you're still the Dan Dao Immortal who spends all day in the alchemy furnace, that's all......"
"You're amazing, but unfortunately, you know some things a little late. ”
"It's not too late. ”
"I see the future, in fact, you will lose this game, you will be defeated by the heavens, and your lifelong cultivation will be ruined, and you will also enter reincarnation, suffering from endless reincarnation, and the cycle will never end, just like Wu Gang. ”
"Is this my future?"
"Yes. ”
"My future is never up to you. ”
"Of course, if you give up, the future may change. ”
"What will it become?"
"......," Lao Jun laughed mysteriously, "at least, you won't lose." ”
"There's no going back. ”
"Then resign yourself to your fate. ”
"Really?"
