Six hundred and fifty years later......

At the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, in a corner that is inaccessible, a monkey and a monk quietly look at each other.

Slowly, Xuanzang let go of the hand on the monkey's forehead, his hands were folded, his face was calm, but out of thin air there was a feeling of physical and mental exhaustion.

The sky was dotted with stars, and as far as the eye could see, the qiē in front of me was so desolate.

Not five hundred years, as he knew at the beginning, but six hundred and fifty years. One hundred and fifty years spent in a coma, and another five hundred years after waking up.

Who would have imagined that the Monkey King of the Three Realms and the King of Ten Thousand Demons would spend a long time alone in this deserted place in this way, worrying about not being able to pick a single fruit?

"Have you seen enough?

The monkey sneered, his eyes red.

Eight hundred years, this is his eight hundred years, from the moment he stepped out of Huaguo Mountain, an unbearable past.

Desperately trying to catch a qiē and hold a qiē, but in the end, he just kept losing and was alone......

Sighing lightly, Xuanzang said softly: "The donor's experience is beyond the expectations of the poor monks, it turns out that what you hate is not Heavenly Court at all, but Buddha Rulai." ”

The monkey glanced at Xuanzang faintly: "Do you hate?"

"Don't hate?"

The monkey was slightly stunned for a long time, and then he chirped and said: "I don't know, trapped here, what should be thought, what should not be thought, what you are willing to think, what you don't want to think, I have thought about it countless times, I want to rot, and I am tired of it." I don't know if I hate it or not, but if you let me out, I should still go to Lingshan to fight him. ”

Xuanzang half-squinted his eyes and smiled: "But that's not what the benefactor and the poor monk said." That's what the donor just said. Cultivating immortals is for immortality. came out to burn the heavens. ”

The monkey turned his head away from him, and muttered to himself, "Isn't it okay to remember the enemy by mistake?"

"Oh?" Raising his head, Xuanzang sat on the edge of the cliff and looked up at the stars, and sighed: "Then, leave it alone." Now, the poor monk asked the donor again. Would the benefactor come out?"

"You still think I'm going to go with you to learn the scriptures?"

"The donor can hear clearly, what the poor monk is asking is, is the donor willing to go out of this Five Elements Mountain?"

The monkey took a deep breath, lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Xuanzang, and said, "What do you mean by this? I don't want to go to learn the scriptures, and you are willing to let me go?"

A beetle crawled slowly, bending the grass.

Xuanzang lowered his head and rolled his sleeves, and sighed softly for a long time: "When I came, the poor monk still had doubts about whether he could persuade the donor to follow the poor monk west. But now, that doubt has been dispelled. ”

"What do you mean? Aren't you afraid that I'll go out and beat you to death with a stick?"

Xuanzang laughed out loud: "Life and death." What is the point of life and death? If you are afraid of death. How could a poor monk travel thousands of miles to the west? Didn't the donor really think that the poor monk had gone through all the hardships to learn scriptures in the west just to become a Buddha?"

As he spoke, Xuanzang looked at the monkey with a smile, and his eyes were bent into the shape of Shangxuanyue.

The monkey was a little stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became a little more vigilant when he looked at Xuanzang.

From the moment he woke up to find that he was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, he had already guessed the cause of the matter.

If it comes, it is naturally not credible. Correspondingly, what he said about the fact that there is no link in the path of heaven and the fact that the Dharma is spreading to him is not beneficial needs to be considered.

But the monkey really didn't understand what practical significance the study of scriptures had for Buddhism.

Occupy the territory and develop the power?

Not to mention Buddhism, the Taoist sect has no interest in this. In essence, people in the Taoist sect and people in the Buddhist sect are the same, they only seek to improve their cultivation, but the Buddhism has cut off the seven emotions and six desires and done it more thoroughly. And among the forces of the three realms, the only ones who will be keen to grow may only be the generals of Huaguo Mountain and Heavenly Court under his command at the beginning. Among them, the generals of the Heavenly Court are still restricted by the Heavenly Rules and cannot develop at will.

"What are you trying to do with me?"

"Lie to you?"

"Isn't it? You bald donkeys won't believe a word, so they won't fall for your plan. The monkey snorted, lazily shrunk his head and said, "Besides, Lao Tzu is quite comfortable here, I really don't want to go out, it's useless for you to say anything." ”

"You really don't want to come out?"

"I really don't want to. ”

"Really?"

"Sincerely! How many times do you want to ask, you monk is really annoying, do you know? Come early in the morning to disturb Lao Tzu to sleep and sleep until now, I really want to smash your head with a stick!"

Facing the angry monkey, Xuanzang spread his hands and said, "The donor wants to kill the poor monk, so you have to come out first to kill it." In your current situation, if you cultivate to a full seal, you can't kill the poor monk even if he stands still. ”

"You-!" The monkey slammed his fist on the ground, took two deep breaths to calm down his feelings, and said coldly: "Lao Tzu is not interested in fighting with you, in short, I don't want to hear anything from you, I don't want to go out, and I don't want to go west to learn from the scriptures, I just ask you not to bother me here." That's it. ”

As he spoke, the monkey held his head with his only remaining hand, and ignored him no more.

Xuanzang sighed helplessly, reached out to take the staff leaning against the edge of the cliff, and walked towards the white horse step by step.

"Really, you're leaving?" the monkey stole at him.

I saw Xuanzang walk to the side of the white horse and tie his staff to the horse, stretched out his hand to untie his bag, took out a bamboo tube filled with water and a few pancakes in his hand, and walked towards the monkey again.

"Why the fuck are you back?"

"Did the poor monk say he was leaving?" Xuanzang raised his hand to show the bamboo tube and pancake in his hand to the monkey, and said with a smile: "The poor monk is not as good as you, he has a golden body of heaven." The poor monk is just a mortal body, naturally he can't escape eating, drinking, and sleeping, and after watching for a day, the poor monk is also hungry and has to eat some dry food. By the way, would you like to have some?"

"Eat dry food...... And then, do you want to keep arguing with me?"

Of course, if the donor is not persuaded to go out of the mountain, the poor monk vows not to turn back. Xuanzang nodded matter-of-factly, pointed to his bag and said: "There is bedding in that bag, if you still can't convince the donor tonight, the poor monk will live here for the time being." By the way, the poor monk has seen it before coming, there is a village five miles away from here, if the poor monk has eaten all the dry food and can not convince the donor, then the poor monk has to go there to turn the fate, this time back and forth, at most it is an hour's road, not in the way. It really doesn't work, the poor monks can also set up a temple here, collect disciples and set up a faction, reclaim the wasteland next to it into farmland, cultivate and eat themselves, self-sufficient, when to persuade the donor, when to set off again. There are also seeds for cultivation in that bag, but it takes some effort. The donor doesn't have to worry about the poor monks. ”

The monkey was dumbfounded.

What's the matter with this posture? Is this bald donkey really going to fight to the end?

Throwing off the robe, Xuanzang sat down on the side of the monkey, handed a piece of pancake to the monkey and said, "How about it, let's have a piece of it?" Although it is not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, I haven't eaten it for hundreds of years, so I should like it." ”

The monkey slapped Xuanzang's hand away without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xuanzang stopped pushing. He looked up at the starry sky, nibbled on a pancake, and said happily: "Poor monk, we should leave tomorrow before dawn, and there is no need to delay here for too long." ”

The monkey didn't answer, but only wrapped his head with his hands, as if Xuanzang didn't exist.

After a while, it wasn't until Xuanzang had eaten and drunk slowly that he patted the crumbs in his hand and sighed, "Let the donor wait for a long time." Let's move on. The poor monk just read the memory of the donor, and now let the donor see the memory of the poor monk, how about it? After reading it, the poor monk will let you out, as for whether you want to go east, west, or south to north, or even kill the poor monk on the spot, it's up to you. ”

"What?"

Regardless of whether the monkey wanted it or not, and before the monkey could react, Xuanzang had already grabbed his hand and pointed it directly on his forehead.

Looking at Xuanzang's smiling eyes, the corners of the monkey's eyes twitched slightly.

Slowly, the surrounding scene continued to evolve like sparkling water, and a temple appeared in front of the monkeys...... (To be continued......)
