Chapter 11: The Monkey's Choice

Only when karma is all one's own can one bring happiness to others, and this is what the Buddha often said: If I don't go to hell, I will go to hell. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So the Buddha only bears the suffering that they are supposed to bear in the place of those people.

It is dangerous to attribute all suffering to one person, or to one consciousness, because if that person suffers more than everybody, more than everybody.

No one can bear the pain.

And so there are us, the Vault Dwellers who are imprisoned in this cave of Guiyun.

When you can't bear a share of pain, what do you choose, whether to ignore him and let that pain slowly dilute over time, or to face up to that pain and fight against them with your own thoughts.

Or, like the Buddha who sat on a lotus flower and ticked all beings, he built a cave and exiled all those sufferings, turning the invisible into the tangible, and the mind into a prisoner.

The world has become quiet and peaceful because of us, but who has ever thought about our feelings!

You, heh, you're just a container!

When the monkey woke up, a black shadow writhed in the air, and his face was hideous: "Accept us, or, die!"

"I don't know what it means to accept you, but I know you can't hurt me. ”

The monkey stood up from the ground, stared directly at the dark figure in front of him, many times larger than himself, and spoke firmly.

Damn, the shadow slammed into the monkey again, only this time to stop halfway through.

"You're right, we can't hurt you. The shadow shrunk to the same size as the monkey and sat on the stone beside it.

"You can go out at any time, there are a lot of people out there who want you to be strong and do things for them, but when you accept their gifts, you are no longer yourself. ”

"Who am I?" the monkey asked.

"You're a monkey. ”

"What will I become if I am not myself?"

"Celestials. The dark shadow sneered.

"Am I still myself after accepting you?"

"Of course, we can't control you, we can only rely on you, you take us out of this endless loneliness, and in return, we will dedicate ourselves to you, so that you can stand at the top of this world as yourself. ”

"Come on, then. The monkey closed his eyes.

"It will be painful, but we will give you more pain than you endure. The shadow laughed and lunged at the monkey again.

There was a long-lasting scream from inside the cave, and the old man sat at the mouth of the cave, his face was neither sad nor joyful, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his changing eyes.

"You're out. The old man stood up and looked at the monkey in front of him, which smelled of burnt as if it had been struck by lightning.

"Hey, the old man who saved my life, you let me come to you, and I came to you over the mountains and rivers as you said, you are not as handsome as you are on the island, hahaha. ”

The monkey jumped up and looked over the stone where the old man was sitting just now: "You don't know, it's very dangerous here, there are a lot of monsters in this cave just now, if it weren't for my quick reaction..."

"Well, I know what you said. The old man waved his hand and interrupted the monkey's speech impatiently.

"You came to me to become stronger. ”

"That's right, I want to be very strong, very powerful, strong enough to personally beat the demon king of the mixed world who occupied my mountain to the ground, kneeling and begging me for mercy. ”

The monkey licked his lips and smiled bloodthirsty.

"What's your name?"

"I jumped out of the crack in the stone, without a name or surname. ”

"Is it okay to call you Monkey King?"

The monkey thought for a moment, then laughed: "Good, good!"
