Chapter 91: The Skylark
"I had only heard the names of the four messengers a long time ago, and I didn't know much about them, let alone who they were. Back then, Erlang Manifestation True Monarch did shatter your true body, and after your true body was broken, the catastrophe came, and the Three Realms were destroyed one after another, and only the Buddha resisted some calamities with his own Dharma body, so that the creatures of the Three Realms could continue. Now that the divine realm is destroyed, the ghost realm Yama is missing, and the dark tide of demons and demons in all sides of the world is surging, there must be something big happening. Regarding the night quicksand, Liu Xingyan and Tang Xuansong, Di Ting can feel the breath of your master and the two junior disciples in them, and their identities are by no means simple. ”
After listening to King Jizo's answer, the monkey knew that King Jizo did not fully understand the events of that year, so he resolutely said: "Since the Bodhisattva does not know what happened 10,000 years ago, then my grandson can only go back to the past with the help of the Reincarnation Treasure Book, no matter whether it can change history or not, at least we can know what happened back then." What caused the catastrophe of Hongmeng? ”
"The treasure of reincarnation is hidden in the dark space of the eighteen layers of hell, where there is no light, no life, and no yin and yang, it is a space that completely belongs to nothing, no matter the gods and demons can enter, it is very dangerous to forcibly break in, Wukong must think twice. After saying that, the king of Jizo rode on Di Ting's back, said to the monkey to take care, and left the Meng Po Pavilion.
After King Jizo left, Meng Po looked at the monkey with a curious expression and said, "Are you the old man of King Jizo Bodhisattva, he said that he has been looking for the old man." ”
"Of course it's the old man, and it's the old man 10,000 years ago. As he spoke, the monkey walked forward, but he had just taken two steps but stopped, turned back to Meng Po in the pavilion and said, "Why don't you let me drink soup?"
Meng Po said: "How can the Bodhisattva's deceased be mortal, and you are not a ghost, how can you force you to drink Meng Po soup?"
"Isn't that a break in the rules?" asked the monkey rhetorically.
Meng Po said unhurriedly: "The rules are set by people, and in the underworld people are dead, but the rules are alive." ”
"I've only heard that rules are dead and people are alive. Today you said the other way around, but it inspired me. Some things are not black and white. For example, Yang Jian, he killed me back then but to save me. But then again, you, Meng Po, are quite human, no wonder the ghost world is so chaotic now that you can still stick to this desolate Meng Po Pavilion. ”
Listening to the monkey's praise of herself, Meng Po turned into a girl with simple clothes and elegant temperament.
The monkey looked at her curiously and asked, "Why did you show your true identity in front of me?"
Meng Po smiled, she actually looked a little delicate, she walked in front of the monkey, glanced around, and found that there were no other ghosts approaching, so she whispered: "In front of the Great Sage, no matter how disguised it is, it can't deceive your eyes." ”
The monkey was shocked and said, "Who are you?"
Meng Po leaned on the monkey's ear and whispered: "My name is Skylark, and I am also a survivor who survived 10,000 years ago, and I have also seen the majestic appearance of the Great Sage when you made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but you didn't even enter the Nantianmen later, so you went back to Huaguo Mountain with your tail between your legs." The storytellers of later generations have mythical you, but in fact, I have seen all the stories of your troubles in the Heavenly Palace. ”
"Meng Po, are you praising me or mocking me?" The monkey was surprised that this Meng Po was also a survivor from 10,000 years ago, and looked at her with interest.
"It's all said, my name is Skylark, you can just call me by my name when no one else is there, it feels too old to call me Meng Po. "The lark blinked, quirky, playful.
Sun Wukong smiled, lowered his voice, leaned in the ear of the lark, and asked quietly: "So, do you know what happened 10,000 years ago?"
The smile on the lark's face suddenly froze, and he whispered: "It's terrible, at that time, it can really be described as the sky falling apart, no matter the god realm or the world, there is blood everywhere, there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, there is no living mouth, and the bloody wind and blood and rain between heaven and earth are scarlet." I have the privilege of being protected by the Buddha's Dharmakaya, and the Buddha has asked me to tell you not to easily believe what anyone says, even if what others say may be true. ”
The monkey carefully observed the lark and wondered: "Strange, it is already extraordinary for a woman of you to see my havoc in the Heavenly Palace, but you have lived for 10,000 years, you are not an immortal or a demon, an ordinary woman, how did you escape that catastrophe?"
"I was born a freak and I remember everything since I was born. I don't have mana, but I can transform into anything I want. I can freely travel through the Three Realms through dreams, and if I don't show my true form, no one will be able to discover my true form, and even the truth will not be able to discern my true identity. Even the Jizo King Bodhisattva doesn't know who I really am. ”
The identity of the lark attracted the monkey, and the monkey said, "Since it was the Buddha who protected you, then does the Buddha know why you are so talented?"
The lark nodded and said, "At that time, the Buddha once said that I was a dream girl, a god in dreams. The Buddha also said that I, like the Great Sage, are not in the Three Realms and Six Realms, you are a natural stone monkey, and I am the master of dreams. And I don't think I have the power to be the master of dreams, and although I can enter any dream, I can't dominate other people's dreams. ”
"Why do I suddenly feel so light?" the lark frowned, and his body suddenly became blurred, gradually becoming transparent, and even Sun Wukong's fiery eyes couldn't see her.
However, she did not disappear and was still standing in front of the monkey.
"Are you still there, lark?" asked the monkey, looking around.
"I'm still here, I'm right in front of you, not leaving. ”
Hearing the sound of the lark, Sun Wukong stretched out his hand to touch it forward, but he couldn't touch the lark's body.
"What's going on?" Sun Wukong wondered.
The lark was also puzzled: "I don't know what's wrong with me, why did I suddenly disappear, but I'm still there?"
Sun Wukong suddenly felt a headache, and his eyes were dark and unconscious. When he woke up, he found that he was sleeping in the Meng Po Pavilion, and Meng Po had disappeared.
When those little ghosts found that there was no Meng Po in the Meng Po Pavilion, they all floated by excitedly, because they didn't have to drink Meng Po soup.
The monkey stared around and said, "Skylark, are you still there?"
No one answered him, the monkey was a little confused, scratched his head, and looked around carefully, but did not notice anything, so he left the Meng Po Pavilion and went to the eighteenth layer of hell to find the treasure of reincarnation.
The sudden disappearance of the lark has become a new mystery in Goku's heart.
