"Can you see what's above in the sky?" asked Sun Wukong as he held a dead branch to Tang Xuanzang, his whole body lying in a piece of rubble, looking like a rough grave that had not yet been buried. The afterglow of the setting sun made the monkey very deep.

"Above the sky, do you want to say the upper realm where the immortal Buddha lives?" Tang Xuanzang stood on the side, he really wanted to pull Sun Wukong up, this monkey now looks very different from usual, there is an indescribable eerie feeling, coupled with those gravel and the sunset, this feeling is even stronger, making him very unaccustomed.

"Above the sky is not necessarily what you say, there are more unexpected and magical places. Just as the vast starry sky, or wider than the starry sky. Sun Wukong has already figured out that the mysterious man surnamed Xue is preparing him, what is he doing. But he doesn't dislike it, there is no way out anyway, there are chess pieces inside and outside anyway, so follow the slightly pleasing road to the dark, it's a big deal, at least he can leave some reputation.

"What do you want to say?" Tang Xuanzang's voice was full of tiredness, and he told Sun Wukong everything he encountered in the dungeon, including what Duan Xiaoxiao told him. But this Sun Wukong was silent at first, and then began to talk about these brainless things, it was getting dark, and he still didn't understand what Sun Wukong was talking about.

"You still don't understand? You have heard the saying that there are people outside the sky, so now put this sentence in the words you just said and think about it carefully. I'm tired, so I'm not going to hurry today. After speaking, Sun Wukong closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to Tang Xuanzang, and after a while, he actually started snoring.

Tang Xuanzang couldn't, so he just sat next to Sun Wukong, and lay down for a while, but he didn't sleep, but looked at the starry sky above his head, and his mind was full of Duan Xiaoxiao's explanation to him and what Sun Wukong said just now.

Sun Wukong told Tang Xuanzang that in this world, "there are people outside the sky", this sentence seems to be out of place in a small sentence, so it doesn't get along. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the "bureau" that Duan Xiaoxiao said.

Is this monkey playing tricks on me?

Tang Xuanzang immediately shook his head again, this monkey wouldn't play him like this. When he said this, he seemed to want to say it and stopped, and it seemed that he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say it in a roundabout way.

"There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, the sky, the stars, and the stars are wider than the starry sky?" Tang Xuanzang took these doubts, his brain became heavier and heavier, and his consciousness finally stopped, and he fell into a dream. He fell asleep.

In the dream, these words still linger around Tang Xuanzang. Suddenly, a murmuring voice sounded in the dream: Xuanzang, don't think deeply, just literally, literally......

Just this murmur made Tang Xuanzang suddenly wake up from his dream, and he was in a cold sweat. He dreamed that he was no longer a person, but a wooden sculpture that could not move or speak, standing on a chessboard, being held by a huge hand and moving at will, while on the opposite side was a fog, but he was sure that behind the fog there was also a big hand manipulating a wooden sculpture similar to him to play chess.

Chessman?

Literally?

Looking at the sky, it was still dark, Tang Xuanzang didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he lay down again, he found that he couldn't sleep, and his mind was very active.

"Outside the heavens, there is a heaven, doesn't it refer to the upper realm? Could it be that there is a more mysterious place beyond the upper realm? There are people outside the human world, literally, ...... meaning."

Until the sky was white, Zhu Gangguan and Sha Wujing walked over cautiously, Sun Wukong got a huge fruit tree out of nowhere, and the four masters and apprentices had breakfast and went west.

On this day, I finally walked out of the range of Pingdingshan and entered a small town. It's hard to believe that there can be a rather prosperous town on the edge of Pingdingshan's group of demons. Wouldn't those youkai come here to make a nuisance?

Only Sun Wukong knew that the golden horn and the silver horn must have restrained the monsters under him. They are here to kill Tang Xuanzang, not to harm ordinary creatures in the lower realm.

The most exciting thing is that the pig has just been chiena, this pig demon has long been hungry and can't stand it, it's good to eat some tofu if you can't eat meat, oil and salt are always better than every meal is fruit, right?

"Find an inn to live in, the bald donkey has to take a look at the disease, don't look at it when you are about to get to the place but it is not worth dying. Sun Wukong said as he took out a gold ingot from his arms and put it in Zhu Gangguan's hand. This thing was one of the countless seizures he had encountered to kill demons, and there were many.

"Okay, senior brother, I will arrange it properly, you can rest assured!" Zhu Gangguan took the gold, and took Tang Xuanzang and Sha Wujing into the town to find an inn, and no one cared about Sun Wukong. It's all the same, every time he goes to a new place, Sun Wukong will always walk around by himself first. Tang Xuanzang has long been used to it.

I don't know where Sun Wukong went, anyway, Zhu Gangguan took Tang Xuanzang and Sha Wujing and quickly found a good inn in the town. A large table of vegetarian dishes made Zhu Gangguan and Sha Wujing feast, but Tang Xuanzang ate absent-mindedly.

"Master, I asked the shopkeeper, there is a medical hall not far from us, I will take you there after dinner, and let the doctor take a good look at you." You've suffered a lot along the way......"

Zhu Gang chattered and expressed his concern for Tang Xuanzang, which can be regarded as another kind of sycophancy. Tang Xuanzang didn't care anymore, he was very curious to see a group of people gathered in a corner of the inn, and from time to time some low exclamations came out, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Don't look at Master, it's an ancient stone chess gamble, a group of tricks to cheat money. ”

"Gu Shiqi?" Tang Xuanzang hadn't heard of it, and when he heard the words, he got up and leaned in, wanting to take a look.

Playing chess is a middle-aged man and a young man, the chessboard is black and white, but the chess pieces are small stone carvings, with the appearance of soldiers, the appearance of generals, as well as beasts and frames, it seems to be a battlefield.

Tang Xuanzang had heard of the ancient stone chess, but he was not very good at playing, but it did not prevent him from understanding the advantages and disadvantages of the current chessboard. Ten black discs, five white discs, and it is clear that black has the absolute upper hand. The young man was scratching his ears and cheeks, and it seemed that he was going to lose.

"Silly boy, do you still want to win money like this? This pig demon is very good at chess, and often brags about his few virtues. Not to mention, even if it is a gambling game, even if there are locals here, even if there are wicked people here, the momentum of the pig is not something that ordinary people can mess with. Therefore, the young man really followed the command of Zhu Gangguan to turn defeat into victory step by step, reversed the situation, and took away the gambling money. Of course, more than half of the gambling money went into the pockets of Zhu Gangguan.

"Master, okay, let's go to the hospital, this money is enough for you to see a doctor, Master, Master?" Zhu Gang said with a smile, but found that Tang Xuanzang was still staring at the chessboard with a pale face, and did not move at all, as if he was fixed.

It took seven or eight shouts in a row to hear Tang Xuanzang muttering to himself, as if he was saying, "This is the bureau?
