Chapter 17: Painting the Wall
"Daddy save me~"
Outside the main hall, there was a sudden cry for help from the child, everyone in the hall was shocked, Liu Xingyan immediately ran to the outside of the hall, only to see a letter left in front of the door, and saw that the guard in front of the door had been separated, and died miserably.
Liu Xingyan picked up the letter, only to see that the word "Xitian" was written on it, and there was no other information.
Regarding the identity of the old witch, the king also knew a little about it, only knowing that her body was full of water, with mana that reached the sky, and was immortal, and maintained her mana by sucking the essence blood of people and animals, which was a very murderous evil.
For the old witch, the king only knows one piece of information that is relatively crucial, that is, her name is Qing Shui.
At this time, Liu Xingyan and the others had already left the Rakshasa Kingdom and headed westward to find the so-called Western Heaven.
"West Heaven West Sky, where is West Sky?" Liu Xingyan stared at the red glow of the western sky, and inexplicably felt that it was difficult to move an inch.
The monkey also looked up at the sunset, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how far I go, I can't get out of this sky." ”
"I miss home. Tang Xuansong lowered his head and was depressed.
The monkey patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll send you back when I'm homesick, I'll carry you on my back, and you hold me tight." ”
Tang Xuansong lay on the back of the monkey, the monkey picked him up, jumped in the air, turned over and fought, and disappeared into the sky in an instant, as fast as a meteor.
Liu Xingyan watched the monkey leave with Tang Xuansong on his back, looked back at the silent night quicksand, and said, "Lao Sha, you can also go, go to find your senior sister, and I will find my daughter myself." ”
Night Quicksand smiled and said, "I've been looking for more than thirty years, and it wasn't until I came to the Rakshasa Country this time that I realized that the place I walked was still too small. This world is very big, even if it is 300 years, it will not be finished, which gives me the motivation to find my senior sister. Let's take care of each other on the way. ”
"Monkey, slow down, I'm so dizzy~" On the edge of the sky, Tang Xuansong's heart-rending shout suddenly came, causing several people to look at the sky.
At this time, the monkey actually flew back with Tang Xuansong on his back, and it only took a moment to go back and forth.
"Why are you back again?" Xiao Eleven looked at the monkey and Tang Xuansong who was slumped on the monkey's back, and wondered.
Tang Xuansong slowly moved away from the monkey's back, and then vomited, his face turned pale after vomiting, he looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the monkey's body, and said in shock: "This monkey is really too fast, a heel bucket turned from here to Yangyang, turning me around, tumbling in my stomach, I couldn't help vomiting." ”
Speaking of this, Tang Xuansong looked back at the other three again, and said with a smile: "I have already explained to my family, this time I am going on a long journey, to see the world, to see the thousands of rivers and mountains in the world, this is not in vain!"
At this moment, the monkey's expression froze, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow, but there were more vicissitudes in his eyes.
At this moment, it is like a world away for the monkeys.
Recalling the past, those footprints that have been walked, the long road is long, how can you forget the journey to the west?
Today, although things are different, they are going through the same experience.
West Heaven, does the West Heaven still exist in this world?
If so, where exactly is the western sky?
The mysterious old witch Qing Shui led Liu Xingyan and others from Yangyang County to the Rakshasa Country thousands of miles away, and then let them go to the West Heaven.
Among them, cause and effect are like a puddle of mist, which makes people lose their way.
None of these people knew where the west heaven was, so they could only go west.
On the way, they met people and asked, "Where is the western sky?"
Later, they no longer asked about Xitian, but asked about the child's whereabouts, but no one knew about it.
Therefore, Liu Xingyan injured many people and caused a lot of trouble, and in the end, it was the monkey who settled for him.
In this way, spring goes to autumn, and the days are like years.
This is the 365th day they have been searching for the western heavens, and they have been traveling westward and treading a thousand mountains, and they have never stopped.
"Monkey, there's a temple in front of you, let's go in and rest. Tang Xuansong looked at the temple in front of him, standing alone in the wilderness, looking strange. They have seen too much along the way, and they have already seen a few people in front of them.
So, a group of five people walked towards the temple.
Walking into the monastery, I saw that the temple monks' houses were not very spacious, and only an old monk who traveled all over the world lived in it temporarily.
When the old monk saw that a guest entered the door, he tidied up his clothes and came out to greet him, and guided the five people to tour the temple.
After some touring, the five followed the monk into the main hall.
In the main hall, the hands and feet are molded in the shape of bird claws. The murals on the walls on both sides are very elaborate and the figures on them are lifelike. On the east wall are painted many scattered flowers, and among them is a girl with drooping hair, smiling with flowers in her hand, with a small cherry mouth as if to speak, and her eyes as if to turn. Tang Xuansong stared at her for a long time, but he didn't feel his mind shake, and he was suddenly immersed in the contemplation of his love.
Suddenly, he felt his body fluttering, as if riding in the clouds, and had come to the mural.
I saw that the palaces and pavilions were stacked on top of each other, and it was no longer a scene in the world. At this time, there was an old monk preaching Buddhism on the seat, surrounded by many monks listening to the lecture, and Tang Xuansong was also standing in it.
After a while, it seemed as if someone was secretly pulling him by the placket. When I looked back, it turned out to be the girl with drooping hair, who was smiling and walking away. Tang Xuansong immediately followed behind her. After passing the zigzag fence, the girl entered a small house, and Tang Xuansong stopped and did not dare to go any further.
The girl turned around, raised the flower in her hand, and greeted him from afar, and Tang Xuansong followed. Seeing that there was no one in the house, he went to hug the girl, and the girl did not resist much, so he made out with her.
Soon the girl closed the door and went out, telling Tang Xuansong not to cough and make a noise. She came again in the night, and after two days, the female companion found out, searched Tang Xuansong out together, and joked to the girl: "How old is the child in the womb, do you still want to hang your hair and learn to be a virgin?"
Seeing the girl's shy appearance, a female companion covered her mouth and smiled: "Sisters, let's not stay here for a long time, I'm afraid people will be unhappy." The female companions laughed again and left with a smile.
Tang Xuansong looked at the girl, the bun shaped like a cloud was towering, and the phoenix hairpin in the bun was hanging low, which was even more gorgeous than when the hair was hanging down. When he saw that there was no one around, he gradually became intimate with the girl, and the smell of orchid musk was refreshing, and the two of them were immersed in joy.
Not long after, I suddenly heard the sonorous sound of walking with violent leather boots, accompanied by the rattling of rope locks. Immediately, there was a chaotic noise of argument.
The girl was startled, and secretly looked out with Tang Xuansong, and saw a god man wearing gold armor, with a black face like paint, holding a rope lock in his hand, carrying a big mallet, and many women surrounded him.
The Golden Armor God suddenly stopped and said, "Have you arrived all?"
The women replied, "All have arrived." ”
He also said, "If anyone is hiding a mortal in the lower realm, tell it immediately, and do not seek guilt for yourselves."
The women said in unison, "No." ”
The Golden Armor God turned around and looked around fiercely like an osprey, as if to search. The girl was very frightened, her face was like ashes, and she said to Tang Xuansong in a panic, "Hurry up and hide under the bed." She herself opened the small door in the wall and fled in a hurry.
Tang Xuansong lay under the bed, not daring to come out. Soon he heard the sound of leather boots and came to the room, and walked out again. After a while, the noise of everyone gradually faded away, and Tang Xuansong's mood calmed down a little. However, there are always people talking and talking outside the door. He lay on his stomach for a long time in a state of distraction, feeling like a cicada chirping in his ears and burning in his eyes, and he could hardly bear it. But he could only listen quietly, waiting for the girl's return, and no longer remembered where he came from.
At this time, Liu Xingyan and the others were in the main hall, and Tang Xuansong was missing in a blink of an eye, so he asked the old monk very strangely.
The old monk smiled and said, "I'm going to listen to the teachings of the Dharma." ”
Liu Xingyan asked, "Where is it?"
The old monk replied, "Not far away." ”
After a while, the old monk flicked his fingers against the wall and called, "Master Tang has been playing for so long, why hasn't he returned?"
Immediately, the image of Tang Xuansong appeared on the mural, and he stood with his ears tilted, as if he had heard.
The old monk called out again, "Your companion has been waiting for a long time. ”
Tang Xuansong then came down from the wall in a flutter, discouraged, and stared. Liu Xingyan and the others were greatly surprised, only the monkey and the monk looked like they had seen through everything.
After several inquiries, it turned out that Tang Xuansong was lost in the world of painting walls just now, and was lying under the bed, when he suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the wall like thunder, so he came out of the room to listen to it, and he didn't expect to leave the painting wall world like this.
At this time, a few people looked at the girl with flowers on the mural, who was already with a high snail bun and no longer hanging her hair.
Tang Xuansong was surprised and saluted the old monk and asked him what was going on.
The old monk smiled and said: "Illusions are born from people's hearts, how can poor monks solve them!"
Looking at Tang Xuansong's stunned appearance, the monkey followed the appearance of a monk and folded his hands, and pretended to groan and said: "Color is emptiness, emptiness is color......
Tang Xuansong knew that the monkey had great powers, and it was estimated that he had seen everything he had done in the world of painting walls, and his face was as red as the sunset, and he was ashamed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Seeing this, the old monk shook his head and smiled, and then met the monkey's eyes, and his expressions met.
The two stared at each other, both with no joy or sorrow on their faces, without any expression.
Seeing this, Liu Xingyan and the others didn't dare to disturb, so they all stood aside silently, watching the monkey communicate with the old monk.
After a while, a drop of cold sweat flowed from the old monk's head, his body took a step back, he almost fell, his expression was slightly flustered, he said "Amitabha", and then said to the monkey: "I can't imagine that you are a monk like me, the poor monk has very little Dharma, and he failed to recognize the true body of the monk before, and there are several rudes and sins." ”
