In the barren forest, the monkey walked slowly alone.

The gentle night breeze suppressed the wormwood, rolled up the fallen leaves, and there was a hint of coolness. Shuttling through the woods, it caused a sound like a ghost crying.

The monkey just walked aimlessly, and kept walking.

I don't know why, the more I walked, the darker it became, and the stars in the sky and the crescent moon in the clouds were lost. There seems to be no light in the heavens and the earth.

Eventually, even the monkey's eyes could no longer see the surrounding scenery clearly.

"What's going on?" he rubbed his eyes a little dazedly, but he didn't seem to think anything was wrong.

To be more precise, his mind had already been emptied, so that all kinds of anomalies failed to alert him.

Gradually, he felt a little groggy, and had to stop and rest on the golden hoop.

Suddenly, a dark shadow passed in front of his eyes.

"Who!" the monkey was startled, and instinctively picked up the golden hoop stick.

Ahead of him, however, there were only a few slightly quivering branches in the darkness, and nothing else.

After staring at the position for a long time, the monkey slowly breathed a sigh of relief and put down the golden hoop stick.

"What's wrong with me? I...... Where am I?"

It was only then that he seemed to realize that all his external perceptions seemed to have failed.

I can't feel the fluctuations of spiritual power and aura, and without night vision, even my sense of hearing seems to be only a little bit around me.

Just as he was dazed for a moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"It's me. ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm you. ”

"You are me, so who am I?"

"You...... Nothing. ”

"Hehehehehe. I'm nothing? There aren't many people who dare to say that about me. ”

The clouds in the sky slowly lifted. Once again, the moonlight illuminated the earth.

Just ten feet away, a dark figure stood silently, with its back to him.

In an instant, the monkey's sense of powerlessness disappeared, and his perception of the outside world seemed to have recovered somewhat. But the perception of the person in front of him is still hazy.

That feeling is like when I first comprehended the aura and spiritual power in the three-star cave of the slanting moon, although I knew that the other party was there, but I couldn't directly know the reality of the strength of the other party's spiritual power through perception.

secretly clenched the golden hoop stick in his hand. The monkey whispered, "Who the hell are you?"

"Do you really want to know?"

This time, the voice did not sound directly in the monkey's head, but a real voice, but it was extremely hoarse and unpleasant to hear, giving people goosebumps.

It was as if the man hadn't spoken for years.

"People from Buddhism, people from Heaven, monsters, or people from Kunlun Mountain?"

"Guess. ”

"I don't like to guess. What I hate the most is playing pantomimes. ”

Hearing this, the man "giggled" and laughed, out of breath.

"Do we know each other?"

"Recognize. ”

"Is it cooked?"

"Very familiar. ”

"Is there a holiday?"

The other party hesitated. sighed softly, "It's a ...... Yes. ”

"There is a holiday, and it should have been said earlier. So you can save so much nonsense. "The monkey has secretly transported spiritual power. Get ready to get your hands dirty.

At this moment, the dark clouds overhead slowly obscured the crescent moon, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

The monkey's eyes could no longer see the figure in front of him, but he could still lock on to the specific position of the other party by feeling.

"There's a holiday, so you're going to kill me?"

"Isn't this reason enough? Since it's already a holiday, if I don't kill you, do I want you to block me?"

"Right...... You're right. If you want me, I'll do the same as you. But are you sure you can beat me?"

Hearing this, the monkey burst out laughing.

In this world, it seems that there is only one such thing left to say to monkeys. It's a pity that this person has obvious spiritual power fluctuations, and it can almost be concluded that he is from the Dao Sect, and the cultivator must be the Dao of the Practitioners.

After a short silence, the other party let out a "whoosh" and flew away at a very fast speed.

Almost at the same time, the monkey chased after him without thinking, picked up the golden hoop and smashed it.

However, this heavy blow fell short.

The tumbling stone chips came to the face, and for a while, the monkeys were a little stunned.

The other party did not dodge this blow, to be precise, the other party used the purest speed to instantly widen the distance between him and the monkey, so that the monkey fell short.

For the most fearsome fighters on the battlefield, they often have one thing in common, which is that they can do it faster than their brains. More often than not, they fight with instinct and instinct.

Without the slightest hesitation, the monkey quickly picked up its own speed. However, the speed of the other side is also accelerating.

In the dark, the two of them rushed after me, and I don't know how many rocks the monkey smashed, how many huge trees were smashed, and how many woods were overturned...... But in any case, the monkey just can't catch up with each other, let alone touch a single hair of the other party...... Because, the other party's speed is as fast as him!

This made the monkey very unhappy.

After so many years, except for the rootless and groundless Rulai, no one can compare with him.

In a hurry, the monkey shouted: "Long-!"

The golden rod suddenly stretched out and roared towards the other party.

"Dang!"

With a screeching sound, the monkey could clearly feel what hard object his golden hoop stick was hitting.

Immediately after, the opponent counterattacked.

With the perception of spiritual power fluctuations, although the monkey cannot see, it can clearly reach the direction of the opponent's shot.

The golden hoop stick in his hand quickly returned to the defense and steadily received the opponent's blow. Under this blow, the monkey's hand trembled slightly.

Who's this?

Is there still such a powerful walker in heaven and earth?

The ever-changing situation of the battle could no longer allow the monkey to think about it, and he rolled and struck at the opponent with three sticks in a row. All were caught steadily. Followed by. The opponent fought back with three moves. It was also taken down by a monkey steadily.

The two sides fought back and forth, and fell into a stalemate.

Gradually, the monkey's perception became clearer and clearer. But as his perception regained little by little, he became more and more frightened.

He could clearly feel that the other party's cultivation was actually the same as his own, and he was also using a stick, a stick that could be stretched and retracted like the golden hoop stick in his hand...... The same walker's way. It's the same, there is only the door of death, and there is no stick method of the trap door.

It felt like I was fighting against myself...... What's going on?

Under the heavy impact, the two sides bounced away, and they confronted each other in the air, and no one took the lead.

The clouds in the sky slowly lifted away again, and the moonlight swayed down.

A furry face slowly appeared in front of the monkey......

......

His eyes widened suddenly, and the monkey leapt to his feet.

Soft moonlight, twinkling stars. The wind blew by, and the trees rustled.

The canopy by the campfire looked at him with a little confusion.

Look around. The monkey found the rest of the people lying not far away.

The sleeping little white dragon reached out and scratched his face, and the black bear spirit purred like thunder......

"Yes...... Dreams?"

With a thud, the monkey sat down as if it had been drained of all its strength, staring blankly at its outstretched hands.

It was only then that he realized that he was already sweating profusely.

"What?" Tianpeng stirred the bonfire twice with the branch in his hand, and sighed softly, "You also have nightmares?"

The monkey reached out and rubbed his face, still slumped.

Nightmare?

How long has it been since he dreamed?

Should...... I haven't dreamed since I came out of the Five Elements Mountain.

For those who cultivate immortals, the higher their cultivation, the less sleep time they need. Cultivating to the point where he is a monkey, let alone dreaming, he basically doesn't even need to sleep.

When he was at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, he wanted to sleep by himself, in order to pass the time and remove all defenses, so that it was possible to dream. Coming out of the Five Elements Mountain, he was extremely wary of this westward journey. Not to mention dreaming, it's impossible to even sleep. But in the past month, because of Yang Chan's affairs, he has been restless every day, and his mental state is not as good as day by day, so he will lie down tonight and prepare to squint for a while. I didn't expect this squint, I actually fell asleep, and I had a nightmare.

What's going on?

He slowly stood up with his knees propped up, and walked towards the sleeping Xuanzang step by step.

"What's wrong?" asked Tencang.

The monkey did not answer.

He gently grasped Xuanzang's veins and injected a trace of spiritual power into his body, and only after making sure that he was safe and sound did he take the spiritual power back.

"What's going on?"

The monkey shook his head, turned around and walked to the canopy and sat down, and said, "I'm actually asleep...... I thought I had fallen for some trick. ”

"Isn't it nice to fall asleep? Tianpeng glanced back at everyone and said, "Every time we keep a vigil, we come in turn, but you do it every day." Hey, it's time for you to get some sleep, too. ”

The monkey looked down at the bonfire and fell into a trance.

A monkey that looks exactly like himself...... Six-eared macaques?

Seeing that the monkey's face was a little ugly, Tianpeng asked softly, "Dream...... What's wrong with Yang Chan?"

"It's not. ”

"Did you dream of the Buddha?"

The monkey shook his head.

"And what else can scare you like this?"

"Anyway, it's something bad. The monkey glanced twice to the west and said, "Tomorrow we should be able to get to Chechiguo." Send you there, and I'll go down to the underworld. I have a hunch over there, and there might be a little bit of trouble, but you should be able to fix it. ”

"Don't worry, we can do it ourselves. As he spoke, Tianpeng took out a piece of jade slip from his waist, held it in his hand and rubbed it: "It's really not good, I'll call for help from you." ”

The monkey turned his face sideways and glanced at the canopy, and said softly, "Remember, as long as you feel the slightest bit wrong, notify me immediately, and don't hesitate." ”

"Rest assured. (To be continued......)

PS: It's almost five o'clock.

I drank a small cup during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but my stomach was uncomfortable and I had pain for several hours...... However, in the end, it was relieved.

The author just has a lot of problems, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it.
