Chapter 581: The Last Resort
On the other side of the riverbank, Xuanzang walked slowly along the fine sand, frowning, and looked back from time to time in the direction where the monkey and the dragon were located.
The screams of the dragon were still lingering in his ears, and that feeling made him feel a little restless.
Tianpeng, who was always following him, looked in his eyes and said softly: "Master Xuanzang doesn't need to take it to heart, that dragon and the monkey also have some origins, it stands to reason that the monkey will never kill him." As long as he doesn't directly abolish his cultivation, no matter how many injuries he suffers, when he lifts the spell, there will naturally be a way to heal him. ”
Xuanzang sighed lightly and said, "The poor monk has a trick of peeping at the heart, if you use this method, I don't know how?"
"That's his innate ability. Tianpeng glanced back and said, "Even if you know the mantra and change someone, you can't use it." Therefore, he can only force himself to untie it. ”
Xuanzang snorted helplessly, shook his head, and continued to walk forward on the fine sand.
Holding the Buddha beads, he asked lightly, "If he doesn't unlock the spell, it will be difficult for us to continue west." If you can't go west, you can't preach. The beings of these three realms cannot be purified...... So, do big things and don't stick to small things. Otherwise, it becomes pedantic. Is that the reason?"
Tian Peng replied, "Indeed. ”
Xuanzang smiled faintly and said, "However, if this way goes west, I would like to go to Pudu, but in the end, it will bring pain to others...... Is this the way we wanted?"
"Master Xuanzang means ...... by this"
"All living beings have their sufferings, and we are witnessing the way of Pudu, for. It is to resolve the suffering of sentient beings. Xuanzang sighed softly: "That dragon is suffering for his father's hatred. Now he appears in front of the poor monk. Not only could the poor monk not be able to resolve it, but he also had to sit idly by while watching him endure new pain. ”
Hearing this, Tianpeng was suddenly slightly stunned.
After a moment of silence, Tianpeng said, "Then, Master Xuanzang has a good plan?"
Xuanzang shook his head slowly, stared down at the mud and sand at his feet, and still walked forward step by step.
This is the biggest dilemma encountered in the westward journey.
The water of the Blackwater River can block perception. The sediment at the bottom of the Blackwater River can be adjusted arbitrarily with a magic circle, which can be disorienting. However, what really blocked the westward journey was not the Heishui River, but the current predicament.
Everyone has their own suffering, and in order to reduce their own suffering, they often impose their own suffering on others. Back and forth, a vicious circle, so there is a saying that there is no end to the sea of suffering.
The purpose of going west is to find a way to stop this vicious circle. Pull sentient beings out of the sea of suffering that has sunk.
But go on like this. Isn't westward travel a new kind of suffering?
After thinking about it all the way, after a while, Xuanzang suddenly smiled bitterly.
Tianpeng asked softly, "What did Master Xuanzang think of?"
The poor monk suddenly figured it out. ”
"Figured it out?"
Xuanzang nodded and said, "Since last night, the poor monk has been thinking about whether to stop the Great Sage from pending. Stop, firstly, the poor monks have no reason, and secondly, the poor monks can't come up with a way to break through this Heishui River, and we will be trapped on the bank of this Heishui River, and there is no way to go west. If you don't stop it, you will stand by in the face of the suffering of all sentient beings, and the grand wish of the poor monk will be null and void. But if it is stopped, trapped on the banks of this black water river, there is no past, and the grand wish will not be invalid?"
Tianpeng thought for a moment and asked suspiciously, "That'...... What did Master Xuanzang figure out?"
Laughing at the canopy, Xuanzang stretched out a finger and said, "This is, the suffering of poor monks." I don't know myself in suffering. ”
With that, he took a deep breath, turned around and strode back along the way he came.
At this time, the original sadness has long been swept away.
For a while, the canopy and the roller blinds were a little confused, and hurriedly chased after them.
......
On the bank of the river, the monkey and the black bear spirit stuck the golden hoop stick in the water and observed carefully.
The waves on the river of black water opened one after another, rushing against the golden hoop rod.
Just staring at the lines on the golden hoop stick that were flooded by water for a long time, the monkey spat fiercely: "Damn, they must have blocked the downstream!"
"So what now?"
"What should I do?" the monkey slowly got up with his knees propped up, put the golden rod in his ear casually, and snorted angrily: "If it is usual, if heaven can't do it, I will go to the ground." Anyway, it's not like he hasn't stabbed through this place, so I don't believe that his magic circle can still be effective in breaking the magic circle to the underworld! Besides, if the water flows to the underworld, won't all the problems be solved?"
As soon as these words came out, the black bear spirit suddenly shrank his neck in fright.
The monkey reached out and patted the black bear spirit on the shoulder, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, this is the last resort, and it won't be used until you have to." Otherwise, wouldn't it be that we haven't taken the scriptures yet, and these three realms are rotten first? Come, let's continue to play!"
As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the dying Jie Jie, lifted him up, and said viciously: "Don't worry, this water can't stop me." It's a big deal to pierce through and let the water flow to the underworld. When the time comes, don't even think about the Peng Demon King and the Lion Camel King!"
The words were almost shouted, and the voice slowly echoed between heaven and earth.
Fei Jie still gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, but the three demon kings at the bottom of the Heishui River were already scared into a cold sweat.
"You say, will he really pierce it and let the water flow to the underworld?"
Just as the three demon kings were hesitating to evacuate first, Xuanzang had already come to the monkey's side. He first folded his hands and saluted the monkey, which was stunned.
"Great Sage, why don't you let the poor monk talk to him. ”
"You talk to him?" the monkey looked at the little white dragon lying not far away and said, "You have confidence?"
"Let's give it a try. ”
The monkey let go slightly, and the whole thing fell to the ground with a "poof".
"Then you can try it. With that, the monkey turned around and walked away, standing on the edge of the river, scanning the surface of the black water back and forth.
Nodding to the monkey, Xuanzang bent down to straighten Jie and let his head rest on the rock.
The injury was too serious, although it was not injured, but the whole body, there was no inch of intact skin, no bones that were not broken. Even many of them were cured several times by the monkey and then interrupted again.
In the middle of this move, Jie Jie snorted again and again, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, mixed with blood and slowly slid down.
With his eyes slightly open, he looked at Xuanzang dimly, and said in a low voice: "I...... I'm never going to solve it, you don't have to be delusional. ”
Xuanzang smiled faintly and nodded: "The poor monk knows." ”
After that, he turned around and used the wooden basin conjured by the monkey to fill some water from the Heishui River, and wiped the blood stains off his body little by little.
From beginning to end, Yong Jie watched Xuanzang vigilantly.
Not far away, the canopy slowly walked up to the monkey and stood side by side with the monkey.
"Can't it be solved?"
"The bones are very hard, and I won't be able to convince him for a while. Looking back, the monkey sighed, "The water is already rising, and those eight lambs are blocking the downstream, and it won't be long before this place will be completely submerged." In a short period of time, I am afraid that the torture will be useless. ”
"So what's next?"
"He seems to have said that this matter has something to do with the King of Jizo, right? Otherwise, I will directly drown the underworld? ”
Tianpeng suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Sometimes I admire you a lot, and you dare to think of anything." However, this method really doesn't work. First, you drowned the underworld, and it felt as if you had taken revenge on the king of the earth, but in fact, it was those ghosts and the beings of the Three Realms who suffered. Second, if you really dare to do this, aren't you afraid that Rulai will come out to trouble you again under the banner of saving the world?
Hearing this, the monkey suddenly hesitated a little.
If he is alone, even if he really comes out? It's a big deal to have another battle between fiction and reality, and no one can help anyone.
But the worst thing is that he is not alone, even today, more than 600 years later, he still has many weaknesses. Isn't this westward journey to solve this problem?
With his mouth shut, the monkey looked up at the sky and said, "You say, wouldn't it be better if I poked that hole a little smaller, and then plugged it with a golden hoop stick to prevent the water from flowing down?"
Tian Peng laughed on the spot, patted the monkey on the shoulder, and said, "What people need is an excuse, and it doesn't matter whether you caused damage or not." ”
Hearing this, the monkey suddenly looked like a deflated ball.
It is said that if the immortals are not touched by the red dust and ignore the mundane things, they are really right in this matter. With the same cultivation and the same strength, a person who has been contaminated with red dust and has taken care of mundane affairs has indeed had countless times more weaknesses than a person who is dedicated to cultivation.
Putting aside the matter of immortality, this immortal cultivation really doesn't see much benefit. The strength has gone up, and he thinks he is superior to mortals, but in fact, he has just stepped from one cage to another. is still trembling, and there are countless unhappiness.
Thinking of this, the monkey couldn't help but think of the words that he said when he knelt in front of the door of the three-star cave of the slanting moon: "People's happiness depends on the width of the heart......"
Thinking about it, he sighed in a low voice: "I am so unhappy, it must be because I am narrow-minded." ”
"What?"
"No, it's just a cranky idea. ”
With one hand on the monkey's shoulder, Tian Peng said slowly, "Now let's discuss another question. Suppose we can't get the dragon to unravel the spell before the river floods, then we will definitely sink deep into the bottom of the river. If you go, you will definitely not be able to get out. The other side is determined to trap us, so we must be prepared for a long-term battle. The others are nothing, Master Xuanzang has not cultivated, and he still needs a secular body...... I'm afraid it won't last long. ”
......
At this time, as Jie Jie adjusted her own pranayama, her face looked slightly better than just now.
Xuanzang was beside him concentrating on helping him clean his wounds, and suddenly asked, "Ling Zun, how many years have you been dead?" (to be continued......)
