Chapter 397: The Truth
The Book of Life and Death is arranged chronologically, and it is extremely easy to find the exact information when you know the exact time of death and the time of birth.
Less than a quarter of an hour after entering the Temple of Life and Death, the monkey had already found the page where the finch had died. But the real problem just begins.
In order to connect this life and the next life with each other to make it easier to find it, a sentence will be added to the book of life and death after the end of this life, such as the year and month of the next life, and if not, the column of the soul to be examined will be ticked.
However, when the monkey turned to the page of the finch, he found that not only was the place where the words of soul reincarnation should have been written at the end were empty, but also the column where the soul was waiting for trial was empty......
"Senior brother, you can help me take a look. Turning around, the monkey eagerly handed the book of life and death in his hand to Youquanzi, and looked at it with wide eyes.
Taking the book of life and death, Youquanzi only gently stroked the page with his hand and came to a conclusion: "The reincarnation is related to being sealed by a secret method, and there is no way to find out, but the column of this soul to be tried is true." ”
"That is to say......"
"In other words......" Yuquanzi said slowly, "she must have been reincarnated or resurrected." In this book of life and death, there must be another record of her. ”
The monkey couldn't help but laugh, it was a heartfelt laugh, a laugh that couldn't be hidden.
Does this mean that he will soon be able to see the finch he has been waiting for day and night?
He couldn't help but scratch his head, like a happy child, and there was an urge to burst into tears.
It's been more than a hundred years, and I've been waiting for more than a hundred years, and the down-and-out wild monkey more than a hundred years ago has grown into a Monkey King in the Three Realms. Ability to fulfill the wish of that silly bird.
Yes. A qiē wish. As long as she gets her back, what she wants, there is nothing that is not okay, nothing that is not okay.
He couldn't help but smirk, laughing so hard that all the demons on the side were stunned.
The smile was as simple as an ordinary monkey in the mountains.
They had never seen such a Monkey King, the Monkey King who ruled over all demons, the Monkey King of Megatron Heavenly Court, and the Monkey King who forced the Jade Emperor to be helpless. It turns out that there is such a side.
The wind chime quietly looked at the delighted monkey, staring blankly, silently. A sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.
I found it, and I pierced it as soon as I saw it. She thought.
Holding the book of life and death, Youquanzi said softly: "But the secret method of this seal is very strange, I'm afraid that no one will be able to break it for a while." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. The monkey comforted himself, "As long as there is a record of her here, you will definitely find it...... Taishang Laojun can find it after looking for half a year, and we can find it too. King Qin Guang -- King Qin Guang -- Get out of here!"
King Qin Guang hurriedly struggled out of the monster pile.
"Humble in office. Humble in office!"
Before King Qin Guang could stand firm, the monkey had already walked over quickly. grabbed him by the collar: "Tell me immediately, the last thing Taishang Laojun reads, which volume, which volume?"
"Laojun?" King Qin Guang was stunned.
"More than a hundred years ago, Taishang Laojun came to your life and death hall to check the book of life and death once, and it took half a year, don't tell me you don't remember!"
Looking at the monkey's hideous face up close, King Qin Guang shuddered suddenly, swallowed dryly, and pointed to the side with a wince...... Lao Jun finally checked the bookshelf over there......"
"Let's go!" dragging King Qin Guang, the monkey walked quickly in the direction he pointed: "Which bookshelf?
"That's all, that's all. ”
"How many?" The monkey was slightly stunned, put King Qin Guang right with a wicked smile, stretched out his hand to dress him, and said with a faint smile: "Sue my old gentleman to read several bookshelf books at the same time? Are you tired of being alive?"
King Qin Guang suddenly panicked, and said with a sad face: "Great Sage...... Lao Jun, Lao Jun really looked at these bookshelves at the same time! How dare you deceive the Great Sage?"
"Really?"
Before the words fell, one of the monkey's hands had already pinched King Qin Guang's neck.
The rest of the Yamas were so shocked that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, but they didn't dare to stop them, for fear of getting into trouble.
The monkey's bloodshot eyes widened, his teeth bared, and he said, word by word, "I'll give you another chance, and if you can't say the answer I want, then I'll ask someone else." ”
King Qin Guang was so frightened that his snot came out, but he opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say.
"Slow. At this moment, Yi Yuanzi, who had turned into a monster, reached out and grabbed the monkey's wrist, and said in a low voice: "What he said should be true, with Lao Jun's cultivation, it is not surprising to check several bookshelves at the same time." ”
The monkey slowly looked at Youquanzi.
I saw Youquanzi nodding silently and said, "What he said is true." ”
Hearing this, the monkey let go slightly.
King Qin Guang sat down on the ground, holding his chest and panting, looking at the monkey cautiously, not daring to move.
Looking up at the huge bookshelves, the monkey looked dazed.
"Then you can only look at it?"
Youquanzi nodded silently again.
"In that case, let's do it! A few bookshelves, all the books, no one can let go of any page or one!"
"No!" the monsters echoed in unison.
The monkey flew up in the air one by one, and his spiritual power shot out, instantly dragging hundreds of books to fly in front of him, and automatically turned over.
His gaze jumped from book to book.
The wind chimes still stood dumbfounded.
There is no doubt that this will be a huge project, but it is nothing compared to the long journey of more than 100 years.
......
In the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, in the imperial study, the Jade Emperor was still quietly waiting for news from the underworld.
"Still not sure what he's looking for?"
"If you go back to your majesty, you are not sure. The god of fortune said respectfully: "But it can be determined that this matter has something to do with Lao Jun." ”
"Old Gentleman?" the Jade Emperor was suddenly shocked.
After a long time, the Jade Emperor stroked his finger and said, "Probe again! This matter must be clarified!"
"No. ”
......
In the thirty-three heavens, Taishang Laojun sat cross-legged and lowered his head. Keep your eyes closed. Hesitant.
......
In the courtyard of Qitian Palace in Huaguo Mountain. Yang Chan sat dumbfounded, holding in her hand the jade slip she had connected with the monkey.
......
In the three-star cave of the oblique moon, Su Bodhi stood silently on the edge of the fence, looking up at the sunset on the horizon, waiting quietly.
......
In the Miluo Palace, the Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master were playing against each other.
......
The whereabouts of a little canary's soul seem to have become the key to determining the belonging of heaven and earth at this moment. The dignitaries of all parties are watching carefully and waiting.
......
The sinister aura between the bookshelves slowly spread, the candles in the Hall of Life and Death changed round after round, and the ghost soldiers guarding the room changed batch after batch.
The monsters carefully flipped through the book of life and death one by one, and more than 2,000 monsters gathered together, but only the rustle of the pages and the heavy gasps of the monsters remained.
There is no day and night in the underworld, and between the passage of light and shadow, under the attention of all parties, ten days have passed in a blink of an eye.
The bookshelf that records the life and death of the creatures of the Three Realms has been gnawed by one-third in a month's time.
The monkey was still flying in mid-air, and books flashed in front of him at great speed. It was stuffed back into the bookshelf.
"No...... No...... Still not...... What's going on?"
The original patience gradually wore away as the pages of paper rolled on, and the heart gradually became apprehensive.
The monsters of the God Refining Realm have long been unable to hold on. Had to check it in shifts. The long and tedious work has long exhausted this originally high-spirited elite army, but it does not dare to bring it up.
The Great Sage didn't say he was tired, were they embarrassed?
Kuroko came to the monkey's side reluctantly: "Great Sage, the prime minister asked when you would go back, and he has already urged him four times...... Huaguo Mountain is gone, you can't do it. ”
"Is there any movement in Heavenly Court?"
"Nope. ”
"Haven't they lived well without me all these years?" said the monkey impatiently.
From beginning to end, that gaze did not leave the book of life and death for a moment.
Kuroko didn't dare to ask again.
Between light and shadow, time still passes little by little.
The weary youkai fell asleep, purring loudly, opened their eyes, and continued to immerse themselves in the sea of books and read them again and again.
King Qin Guang organized people to send food and water, taking the opportunity to establish a good relationship with the monsters in order to remind them to tap when turning the page, but he didn't dare to send one to the increasingly irritable Monkey King.
The Great Sage's temper is getting worse day by day, this is something that everyone knows.
......
"Our Lady, the Great Sage...... He wouldn't come back. ”
The breeze blows, caressing the green silk.
Yang Chan, who was sitting upright in the courtyard, gradually had a little more sparkle in her eyes, but she just smiled.
She lowered her head slightly, staring blankly at the two crooked "crows" on the handkerchief in her hand.
"Got it, go down. Starting tomorrow, I'll go to the morning pilgrimage for him. ”
"No. ”
......
The Thirty-Three Heavenly Taishang Laojun was still hesitating.
......
Thirty days passed, and the monkey did not sleep for a moment.
When the last page of the book of life and death was closed, the hope that was full of it was finally exhausted.
"No...... How could it be? What's going on? Did he tear up that page? Or did he hide the whole book? Could it be that you missed it?"
He collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the dark ceiling.
The whole world seemed to be spinning, and the darkness in front of me was like a bottomless abyss, trying to suck all the qiē dry.
He lay still, blinking his bloodshot eyes.
The surrounding monsters stood exhausted one by one, and no one dared to speak. One by one, the ten halls of Yama shrank in the corner, for fear that the monkey would be angry.
"I don't think I miss it. Kuroko said cautiously: "Everyone is looking for it very seriously, and with the help of the two Venerable Masters' spells, it is impossible to miss it." ”
"Find ...... again from the beginning"
"Huh?"
The monkey jumped and sat up: "Find it again from the beginning." It must have been missed, and all the people swapped places and started from scratch. It is impossible not to have it, it is impossible to do so. ”
"From the beginning?" everyone was stunned.
Looking for a whole month, and then starting from scratch?
"If you look for it from the beginning, it must be in here. That's right. It must have been missed. The monkey covered his face and muttered to himself.
Yi Yuanzi spoke: "There must be other problems here. Maybe we should try other clues. As...... Shall we go back first?"
"There are no other clues. That's the clue. Must find anyway. ”
"However, this underworld is extremely evil, and you see that everyone has already ......."
"I've been waiting for more than a hundred years! I've been waiting for this day for more than a hundred years!
The roar reverberated in the temple of life and death, causing countless echoes, as if thousands of people were roaring.
The fluff stands up slightly. The grinning mouth shows fangs, and the forehead is covered with green tendons...... In the dim red candlelight, the face was hideous.
At this moment, everyone was stunned and frightened.
No one will doubt that whoever stops him at this moment will be torn to shreds by him on the spot.
The wind chimes still stared blankly at the monkey.
Youquanzi sighed helplessly.
The monkey retracted a little and staggered to his feet: "Sorry, the tone is heavy. Let's start all over again. Look again and see how you can make a decision later. Not really. Look for other bookshelves. As long as you keep looking for it, one day you will turn it out. ”
Bounched. He slowly pushed aside the youkai that surrounded him, and walked to the beginning of the bookshelf.
"The love of the Great Sage...... Something is wrong, what should I do?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Heizi said softly: "The Great Sage said to look for it again, then look for it again, whoever dares not to obey will be dealt with by military law!"
"No!"
"It's not the way to go. Iyuanzi looked sideways at Youquanzi.
Youquanzi was silent.
Looking at him gradually moving away, the lonely back, the wind chimes stood dumbfounded.
She couldn't hear the words around her, she couldn't see the light around her. In the blue eyes, he was the only one left.
After a long time, she unconsciously took a step forward and walked in the direction of his departure.
......
In the Tushi Palace, Taishang Laojun's hand trembled slightly.
......
The Temple of Life and Death is vast and boundless, but it is sealed on all sides, like a huge mausoleum.
In such a vast space, there will be no air currents, but only an endless amount of evil qi released from the book of life and death, which tests the minds of the living at all times.
In the dark corridor, there are stretches of bookshelves on both sides, and the road is long, and you can't see where you come from or what you can see ahead.
The wind chime walked alone with his head bowed, step by step in the direction of the monkey's departure, the pace was fast and slow.
His hands were unconsciously clenched tightly in front of his chest, and there was no gleam in his eyes.
I obviously didn't want him to find it, but ......
Perhaps, it's time for the end of the day.
As long as you say it, you don't have to worry about concealing it.
He will find the finch he misses day and night, and return to Huaguo Mountain to continue to be the Monkey King of the Three Realms.
What about yourself?
"Hehe, it doesn't matter. ”
She smiled faintly, her mind blank.
She just didn't want to look at him so depressed anymore, he was the Monkey King who stood up to the sky, and he should return to Huaguo Mountain, instead of going crazy in the underworld for the book of life and death.
The foot still walked towards him unconsciously.
......
In the thirty-three heavens, Taishang Laojun slowly opened his eyes, and his fingers trembled slightly.
......
In the hall of life and death, a book moved a little without warning and fell in front of the wind chimes that walked slowly.
She stopped, staring blankly at the book.
......
Taishang pursed his lips, raised his head, closed his eyes, and waited.
......
She rolled up her long sleeves, bowed down, reached out and picked up the book of life and death, and slowly turned a few pages. Suddenly, the pupil dilated rapidly.
The whole thing was stunned.
......
In the three-star cave of the oblique moon, Su Bodhi slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky with an expressionless face.
Behind him, Qingfengzi sat on his knees in a daze.
......
"What are you doing?"
Wind Chimes panicked and hid the book of life and death behind him, his eyes widened.
In the distance, the figure of a monkey gradually appeared, and he walked towards the wind chimes step by step, looking meaningfully at the flustered wind chimes.
"What's hiding behind you?"
"I didn't ...... No. She said dumbfoundedly, stepping back.
"Still say no?"
Before the wind chimes could react, the monkey had disappeared from front of her, snatching the book of life and death behind her.
"Don't look at it, monkey!"
The wind chime was about to reach out and grab it, but was pushed away by the monkey.
Glancing coldly at the frightened wind chimes, the monkey lowered his head and turned the pages of the book of life and death in his hand.
Suddenly, his eyes widened slowly, and he raised his head to look at the wind chimes blankly.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment. (To be continued......)
