Chapter 18: Wukong
"Yes, I am fighting to defeat the Buddha, but I prefer the title of Monkey King, at that time, I was still a carefree monkey who dared to love and hate, and now, I escaped into the empty door, went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and finally achieved positive results, becoming a high monk in your eyes...... Hehe, not bad. The monkey laughed with a crying tone, looked back at Liu Xingyan and the others, and said loudly: "I have you by my side along the way, but I still feel that I am the loneliest." I seem nondescript in this world, out of place in this world, this is not my world. I used to have mentors, friends, and rivals. Now, I walk with you every day, wherever I go, I don't know what the point of these things is. ”
Listening to the monkey's words, Tang Xuansong suddenly had an inexplicable heartache, he didn't know why, but he couldn't help but stroke the monkey's fluffy head, and said gently: "The heart is born, all kinds of demons are born; ”
Hearing Tang Xuansong's words, the monkey suddenly cried like a lost child eager to find his family, he stared at Tang Xuansong's face and shouted: "You are the master, you are the master, why are you pretending to forget me, why have you all forgotten me?"
The monkey shouted at several people, going crazy.
The monk looked at the monkey's crazy appearance, as if he suddenly realized something, and said loudly: "I am an ascetic monk, walking all over the world, understanding life and death, and comprehending Buddha nature. Today, I met a monk, but I suddenly realized that the Buddha is the mind, there is no Buddha in the heart, everything is there, there is a Buddha in the heart, and all thoughts are destroyed, this is the real escape into the empty door, right?"
After listening to the monk's words, Xiao Shiyi said with a surprised face: "You, a monk, slander the Buddha like this, and you are not afraid of offending the Buddha." ”
The monkey shook his head and said, "Bodhisattvas and goblins are always the same thought; So what this monk said is right, and you are right. ”
"The Zen heart shines on a thousand rivers and moons, and the true nature is clear and contains thousands of miles of heaven. In this world, there are only two people who are sincerely convinced by my grandson, and they are both my masters. Apart from them, even the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, I just pay respect. ”
Seeing the monkey talking like this, the monk asked curiously, "The two masters of the high monks must also be otherworldly masters?"
Speaking of the master, the monkey looked solemn, as if the respected master was in front of him, and said respectfully: "My two masters, one is Su Bodhi and the other is Xuanzang, one of them teaches me the Tao, and the other passes on my Buddha's heart. ”
As Sun Wukong expected, no one knew the names of Patriarch Su Bodhi and Xuanzang.
Later, the monk did not ask too much, talked to the monkey for a few words, and left the monastery.
At night, Xiao Shiyi slept alone in a meditation room, Liu Xingyan and Night Quicksand became drinking friends, and the two got drunk together almost every day.
Tang Xuansong sat cross-legged in the main hall, staring at the woman on the mural, as if he had lost his soul.
The monkey stood alone outside the monastery, under the night sky, in the wilderness, and the cold wind pierced through the bones.
The moon splashes the galaxy, the long road is long, the wind and smoke are exhausted, and the shadow is alone.
Wukong is reminiscing about the past again, and is struggling to find traces of the past here.
"Hongmeng had no surname at the beginning, and broke the stubborn Wukong. ”
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears, causing the monkey to look around and exclaim, "Who is talking?"
"I am you, perished from chaos, born from chaos. You are the only spirit monkey born from the incarnation of heaven and earth, and the only spirit who transcends the six realms of reincarnation and is above the gods. Now that the six realms have collapsed, reincarnation has been reversed, and time and space are chaotic, you are the only existence that is not destroyed by the laws of heaven and earth. The people and things you were looking for are long gone, but there are still remnants of them in the world, and perhaps the remnants of these former gods and demons will help you solve the mystery of the collapse of the six realms. ”
The monkey found that the voice echoing in his ears was exactly the same as his own voice, as if it was himself, which made him confused but full of hope.
"I don't know who you are, can you tell me, why are Tang Xuansong, Liu Xingyan and Night Quicksand so similar to the master?" Regarding this question, the monkey finally found someone who could ask, so he asked decisively.
However, after waiting for a long time and not replying, the monkey asked, but there was no reply.
"The remnants of the gods and demons of the past, what happened between heaven and earth during the time I was asleep?" the monkey looked up at the starry sky, no one could answer his question, the mystery could only wait for him to explore step by step, and uncover the truth one by one.
Hongmeng originally had no surname, and broke the stubborn Wukong.
The monkey doesn't know anything now, only that he is the only survivor, that the former gods and demons are gone, and that only he still exists.
In the main hall, Tang Xuansong was like a demon, and he sat motionless until late at night and stared at the woman on the mural.
"Is that a fantasy or a real experience, but is there another world in this painting?" Tang Xuansong wondered in his heart, thinking hard.
In the next room, the snoring of Liu Xingyan and the night quicksand became louder and louder, which shocked Tang Xuansong and made him unable to concentrate on the problem, causing him to frown and complain: "I get drunk every night, drunk every day and dream of death, is it useful for you to escape reality like this?"
He was still snoring louder and louder.
Tang Xuansong shook his head helplessly, continued to stare at the woman on the mural, and muttered: "You say how confused I am, I had a skin-to-skin relationship with you, but I don't even know your name, I am really not a man, how should I be responsible for you?"
"You are sick, they all said that it was a fantasy, what responsibility do you have for a woman in the painting?" At this time, the monkey returned to the main hall and said to Tang Xuansong.
Tang Xuansong looked back at the monkey and asked, "Since you said that everything on this mural is illusory, why did a young girl be painted on it before, but now this girl has changed her costume and is as mature as a woman?"
The monkey said, "Let me explain to you like this, because you are a human and she is a demon, so you and her do not belong to the same world." Everything before was like a dream, you just forgot about it, and she won't blame you. ”
"In this way, everything that happened before is not illusory, so as a man, I should be more responsible for others, otherwise I won't become a negative man who has been chaotic and abandoned from the beginning?" Tang Xuansong stood up and said with a serious face.
The monkey looked at Tang Xuansong with interest and said, "I didn't expect that you are usually timid and afraid, but you are quite responsible at a critical time." Since you are responsible for other girls, then I will help you once. I'll cast a spell to send you back into the walled world later, and if you're in danger, shout my name out loud, and we'll get back on when you're done with that. ”
