What is Westbound?

Traveling west is Xuanzang's journey of preaching. It was an infighting between Buddhism and Buddhism. It is a bet between Xuanzang, Rulai, and Sun Wukong. This is something that everyone in the Three Realms knows. Although it has the afterglow of the disaster more than 600 years ago, it is at best a local war.

However, now there are two more players in this chess game, one is Su Bodhi and the other is Lao Jun. In this way, the nature changes completely.

In just a few hours, everything that happened in the Three-Star Cave of the Leaning Moon had quietly spread to every corner of the Three Realms.

The Dragon King of the Four Seas summoned his subordinates scattered all over the place.

The Ten Halls of Yama sealed the entire Yama Hall like an iron bucket, and strictly controlled every soul entering and leaving the underworld.

As the nominal supreme administrative center, the Heavenly Court sealed the South Heavenly Gate tightly. Even the middle and lower level cultivators of the Buddhist sect scattered all over the country began to gather in Lingshan.

However, this is all done quietly. Everyone was nervous, but everyone didn't want to be the first to be caught in the center of the whirlpool, even Buddhism.

Monkeys are not scary, they are truly scary...... It is Lao Jun, and it is the "inaction" that can restrain all Heavenly Dao cultivators. It's like a shackle that binds everything together.

In a short period of time, the figure that had spanned more than 600 years and had controlled the Three Realms for 10,000 years seemed to once again envelop everything in the world, overwhelming everything.

However, while the eyes were as wide as they could, scrutinizing all the moves, the monkey at the center of the whirlpool was still confused.

On the way back, the words that Lao Jun said were repeated in the monkey's mind, and in the end, the word "price" was left.

"The price...... What do you mean?"

He muttered to himself, countless images turning in his mind.

In the course of 800 years, he seemed to have paid the price all the time, for what he wanted, voluntarily, or forcedly gave up many, many things. However, in the end, it was just a solitary one.

But if so, could he refuse?

Thinking about it, the monkey couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What is in front of him is never going back.

The most terrible thing in life is not "choice", but "no choice". I knew I was wrong, but I had to grit my teeth and continue to go down. Walking, walking, until both legs were numb, and still didn't dare to stop. Because once you stop, you will be crushed.

In this case, Lao Jun didn't explain it, probably because the price was really heavy. It's so heavy that even in the current situation, the monkey won't necessarily agree......

Thinking about it, his heart couldn't help but feel half cold.

He suddenly had the idea that at this moment, he would leave everything behind, and then find a place to hide, and no longer care about anything. It's like being crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, pretending to be crazy and stupid for more than 600 years, obviously you can leave at any time, but you don't dare to leave, and you live like a walking corpse.

Although it is sad, isn't it precisely because he did not leave the Five Elements Mountain that the Three Realms have been peaceful in these hundreds of years?

It's really a mistake, and it's all over.

At the beginning, it was only because of the glimmer of hope given by Xuanzang that he decided to gamble everything and fight to the death. However, in the end, the result seems to have turned out to be worse than it had been...... If he loses this time, he will probably be lost and disappear completely. Then, no one will remember him anymore.

The monkey thought crankily all the way, and the short journey of a thousand miles flew for an hour. When I arrived, it was already full of stars.

In the distance, he saw Xuanzang lighting a bonfire and sitting on the edge of a dry stream. The others all gathered on the other side of the creek ten zhang away, whispering one by one, looking in the direction where Xuanzang was from time to time.

Seeing the monkey coming back, they hurriedly trotted up to meet them one by one.

"What's going on?"

"Great Sage. Lu Liugui said hesitantly: "Master Xuanzang let us go......"

"Oh?" the monkey snorted, "I thought you wanted to say that he changed his mind and wanted us to stay." That should be the case, right? When didn't he let us go?"

"This time is different. The Bull Demon King on the side interjected, but he just opened his mouth for a long time and didn't say anything, and kept looking back at Xuanzang.

Behind him, the demon generals also looked at the monkey one by one. That look was obviously different from what Lei Yin County had before.

Probably...... They don't have the confidence to go west.

Glancing at the silent canopy, the monkey clapped his hands casually and said, "Okay, I'll talk to him." It's also time to spread it out and talk. ”

As he spoke, he had already taken a step and slowly walked towards Xuanzang.

Seeing the monkey coming from a distance, Xuanzang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he only blinked his eyes twice, folded his hands, and still sat motionless.

Walking step by step in front of Xuanzang, the monkey bowed and sat down slowly.

"I heard, you drove them away?"

Xuanzang picked up a branch casually, threw it into the bonfire, and said, "Poor monks, just let them live their own lives." ”

"Hey. The monkey reached out and rubbed his face and said, "They are my subordinates." ”

"No one is noble or cheap, and so are demons. Taking a deep breath, Xuanzang sighed lightly: "No one should die for other people's dreams." ”

The monkey looked up at Xuanzang, and said with a pout, "What do you want to say?"

"Lei Yin County, Great Sage, several of your subordinates have died. The poor monk felt that leaving them would only increase casualties. ”

Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but laugh and sneered.

"Is it interesting to say this? Since the day I left Huaguo Mountain, my own life has been hanging on my belt, and it may not be lost at any time. In this world, there is no such thing as immortality, as long as you want to live. ”

Xuanzang lowered his gaze slightly and did not answer.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and then the monkey whispered, "I know you want us to go." Actually, to put it bluntly, it's because of our intervention that you've been there several times along the way...... Ask France, Leiyin County, it's all like that. But you don't say it, because you invited me out of the mountain in the first place. Some words, once spoken, are torn faces. I understand this. However, I still have to ask you a clear question today, and I hope you can answer me honestly. Positive answer. ”

After that, the monkey quietly glanced at Xuanzang.

Xuanzang said lightly: "Great Sage, please speak." ”

"I don't want to gamble anymore, I want a solid answer. How sure are you that step has you reached?" Raising his head, the monkey stared at Xuanzang with wide eyes, and said word by word: "Give me a letter of approval, so that I can know what to do next." (To be continued.) )
