It was a quiet night, and the sound of the rain covered almost everything.

The rain dripping down the eaves was like a string of beaded curtains, hitting the stagnant water in front of him, splashing a cold breath.

Under the eaves, Xuanzang shrunk into a ball wrapped in wet clothes, and his eyes were full of confusion when he looked around. The monkey on the side crouched quietly with a golden hoop stick.

"Perhaps, the poor monk should not have pulled you in the first place. Poor monks should ...... Walk the westward journey by yourself. ”

When he heard this, the monkey's face twitched slightly.

How many years have it been since Huaguo Mountain?

Just rushed to this sentence, if it weren't for the other party being Xuanzang, the monkey might have already done it. It's still the kind of fight to the death.

Finally suppressing the anger in his heart, the monkey reached out and plucked his ears, bared his teeth, and pretended to be a little careless and replied: "It's okay, people, there are always times when you are confused." Sometimes I'm hit so hard that I can't figure things out and say something wrong. But...... There are some things that you should not say nonsense until you have thought it through. ”

As he spoke, the monkey glanced at the location of Tianpeng and the others, and said, "It doesn't matter if I hear it, if I let someone else hear it...... Maybe there's going to be trouble. When the time comes, the people's hearts will not be aligned, how will we go this way?"

"Nope. Xuanzang shook his head and said in a low voice: "The poor monk has thought clearly. ”

"What have you figured out clearly?" the monkey snorted coldly, looked at Xuanzang with some incredulity, reached out and touched his wet shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "Just wearing such a ragged dress." Wet all over. In this hellish weather. And then in such a place, do you want to tell me to give up?"

Before the words fell, the monkey had already grabbed Xuanzang's collar heavily, pulled him all in front of him, widened his eyes, lowered his voice and said viciously: "I'm fucking pointing at you to bring down Rulai! You have to go to Xitian, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go! You dare to say what you just said again, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

Xuanzang's eyes widened suddenly. There was a moment of astonishment.

Everyone in the distance was a little stunned.

The little white dragon cautiously touched Tiancang's arm and asked in a low voice, "Does he ...... What did they just do? What did they say? Why do they look like they're going to fight?"

Everyone around them frowned one by one, staring at them in a daze, and no one answered.

Just now, before Xuanzang could finish speaking, the monkey had already dropped a silence casually. In an unprepared situation, such a distance, even if you read the lips, you can't read it, not to mention that in this regard, the monkey has already been prepared.

Long. The monkey opened his hand lightly, turned his head to look at the splashing water in front of him, and said, "What you just said." I don't think I heard it. Anyway...... You have to remember what you told me at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, I will escort you all the way safely, you must succeed in the Tao, and help me to bring down the Buddha. If you succeed, you can say anything. Otherwise...... I'm not a good man. ”

Xuanzang blinked and stared blankly at the monkey's side face.

After a while, Xuanzang retracted back into the original corner, closed his eyes, and curled up. sighed lightly: "The Great Sage has misunderstood. The poor monk didn't mean that. ”

"What does that mean?"

"What the poor monk means is that the poor monk is in the wrong direction. As he spoke, Xuanzang blinked his eyes and raised his head slightly.

On rainy nights, almost every household closed its doors and windows. On the street, behind the few windows that I saw by chance with a slight slit, there must be a pair of eyes secretly watching Xuanzang.

Yes, everybody was looking at him, and he was so down. Shouldn't those who lead people to good stand on a high platform and be admired by all people?

If even Xuanzang himself doesn't end well, how can he persuade others to be good?

Think about it, for seven days of preaching, a "good thing", in the end, is just a joke.

Lowering his head, Xuanzang hugged his legs tightly and said: "Actually, sentient beings are really simple, so simple that they can be summed up in one word." ”

"What word?"

Xuanzang pursed his lips and chuckled: "Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." ”

The monkey thought for a moment and nodded: "It's this reason, not only the people, but everything." ”

Xuanzang took a deep breath and sighed lightly: "Lingshan is getting closer and closer, and the poor monk is thinking about Pudu every day and night, how to achieve it. It is impossible to want all living beings to be like me, regardless of everything, to be good, to be good, to be good, and to promote goodness. Because, no matter how noble the truth is, once it contradicts the four words 'seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages', there is only one way to break bones. Therefore, it is necessary to let the good doers benefit and the evil doers suffer. In this way, over time, Purdue became self-contained. ”

When he said this, Xuanzang turned his face slightly, glanced at the monkey, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "It is nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is not something that can be detached. To impose a change is tantamount to blocking the car with a mantis arm. Therefore, it can only be followed by the trend. Go with the flow...... Isn't that the way of inaction for Lao Jun?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter, in the face of Pudu's righteousness, why do you need to care about the view of the portal? With the help of strength, it would be good if you could create a piece of Elysium. But...... The poor monk was wrong. Lao Jun has no distractions, so he can implement the way of inaction, but the poor monk has obsession in his heart. It is precisely because of this that it finally led to today's results. The world is full of turmoil...... The human heart is insufficient, and the snake swallows the elephant. ”

The monkey said leisurely: "If you can't figure it out, you can think slowly, I didn't force you?" ”

Xuanzang was silent, staring at the splash in the distance.

"And what are you going to do now?"

"I don't know. ”

The monkey slowly turned his head, looked at Xuanzang and said, "I'm not asking about the Tao, I'm asking about what you're doing now." Chanting, fasting, exertion, and rain...... What are you going to do?"

Xuanzang shook his head again: "I don't know." ”

"You're not sick, are you?" the monkey laughed again, reached out and touched Xuanzang's forehead, and said a little speechlessly: "I don't know if you still play like this?

Xuanzang still shook his head. He raised his palm and looked through the faint light of the room behind him, at the wound that had been bitten by the child, at the scar that had just ended.

After a long time, Xuanzang sighed lightly: "The poor monk is feeling the suffering of all living beings. But the slightest bite is already a pain in the heart, and what should the victims of the great war feel? It is just a day and night of toil, sleepiness, and a day and night of fasting, and they are already exhausted...... How do the people in this vast world feel? The poor monks did what they did before, because the poor monks still don't understand the suffering of sentient beings......

Saying that, Xuanzang actually laughed. This time, it was a real laugh, not a self-deprecation, not a bitter smile, but a laugh from the heart. The monkey was a little dumbfounded by laughter.

At this moment, the monkey suddenly felt that the Xuanzang in front of him was a madman, completely crazy.

"Purdue...... It's really not something that normal people can do. ”

With so many detours, you have to make yourself not like a human and a ghost...... Cultivating the Tao or cultivating the Buddha, which one is not better than cultivating Pudu? In this way, will you really be able to accept apprentices in the future?

When he turned around again, the monkey saw Xuanzang take out the "hidden heart stone" given by Nuwa from his arms, carefully breathed on it, and wiped it violently with his sleeve.

"What are you doing?"

"This is the hidden heart stone given by Nuwa Niangniang. ”

"I know, I'm asking you what you're doing here?"

"Record. Xuanzang chuckled and said: "Hide your heart in there, and always remember the mood at this moment." ”

As he spoke, Xuanzang carefully wrapped the heart stone and covered it on his chest.

Looking at his appearance, the monkey's brows furrowed.

This look, even if it's not crazy, it's not far from crazy. Thinking about it, the monkey had to secretly comfort himself: "If you don't go crazy, you won't survive, maybe you're really crazy, and you will be." Anyway, the ones in Buddhism don't look like normal people. ”

In a blink of an eye, Xuanzang suddenly stood up and ran out in the rain.

"Keep up. ”

As soon as the monkey waved his hand, the black bear spirit and the little white dragon hurriedly followed, regardless of the three seven twenty-one places. Even the macaque king limped after him.

The canopy and the roller shutter slowly walked up to the monkey and crouched down.

"What did you talk about?"

"I ...... I can't tell. The monkey frowned and said, "He seems to have figured it out, but he doesn't." It seems that he is about to preach, and he seems to be about to go crazy. In a word...... I can't tell. ”

As he spoke, the monkey pursed his lips and looked back and forth at the canopy and the blinds. The two were also confused and looked at each other.

Not long after, Xuanzang ran back in the rain with his bags on his back. Behind him were the black bear spirit and the little white dragon.

Trotting all the way to the monkey, Xuanzang put down his bags and gasped heavily.

Soon, he opened his bag, pulled out a bamboo kettle, raised his head and began to pick up the rainwater leaking from the eaves.

"Master Xuanzang, you are ......"

The black bear wanted to speak, but the monkey raised his hand to stop him.

Several people just watched Xuanzang quietly, watching him frantically fill the kettle with water, and then drank it all.

Immediately afterward, the crowd watched as he pulled out two pancakes from his bag, and then crouched down in the corner and chewed them carefully. From time to time, he blinked and looked around.

That image is simply the opposite of the previous Xuanzang, as if it ...... It's like a different person.

While chewing on the pancakes, he said, "Now that the people are quite together, let's plan how to go from here to Lingshan." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

"How do you want to go?" asked the monkey.

"So go back ...... each of you."

"No!" before he could finish speaking, the monkey stood up suddenly.

For a moment, all eyes were on the monkey.

Xuanzang hesitated slightly, and reluctantly changed his words: "If you don't want to go, it's okay to stay." But we're going our separate ways. ”

"Are we secretly protecting you?" asked Canopy in a low voice.

"Nope. Poor monks don't need protection, poor monks just go their own way. Saying that, Xuanzang looked at the monkey again and said solemnly: "What the poor monk promised will definitely be fulfilled, please rest assured that the Great Sage will do so." ”

Hearing this, the monkey's brow became deeper and deeper.

Isn't it...... Crazy? (To be continued.) )
