Chapter 13: The Demons of the Heart

Sun Wumao stood alone in front of the mural, his lonely back looking particularly lonely in the dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info He stroked the stake on the mural that almost killed him, his eyes swept over the laughing Zhang Dashan and the white-bearded old man selling roast chicken in the distance, and fell on the Rakshasa woman who was chained to the stake, and couldn't help but feel sad.

He turned, leaned against the wall, and slowly sat down on the floor. He lowered his head, his hands tossing and turning, fiddling with the bronze mirror that the Rakshasa had given him, and muttering to himself.

"Huanying ......"

"The Shadow of the Sky, the Destiny of Jiantian......"

"You are quite arrogant in this mirror, how can you get the shadow of the sky, and how can you see the destiny of heaven?"

He turned over the bronze mirror and looked at himself reflected in the mirror, with a golden crown and white clothes, sharp edges and corners, quite handsome.

"Sha Wuyu, I'm your cat brother, it's safe outside now, come out quickly!" Sun Wumao said to the bronze mirror with joy, his face was full of anticipation, waiting for a miracle to happen, and imagining the picture of reuniting with Sha Wuyu in his mind.

Sun Wumao imagined countless pictures of reunion with Sha Wuyu, but after waiting for a long time, the bronze mirror did not move.

Sun Wumao's long-awaited heart was a lot cold, he turned the bronze mirror back, the mirror side down, and patted the back of the copper mirror hard:

"Spit out my sand fish!"

However, there was still no movement in the bronze mirror.

He turned the bronze mirror back, quietly leaned his mouth over, and whispered against the mirror: "Hey, Sha Wuyu, can you hear me? I'm the Monkey King, I'll reply when I hear it!"

After speaking, he held the bronze mirror to his ear, and his face was full of expectant smiles, but after a long time, the bronze mirror still did not move.

Sun Wumao tried his best, but the bronze mirror did not cooperate anyway, which made him mutter: "Could it be...... That Rakshasa girl lied to me? I really can't believe this nonsense!" But then he thought again: "No, it won't do me any good if it deceives me, and it almost took her life to save me, so there's no need to lie to me about this matter." ”

He really couldn't figure it out, and was a little angry, pointing to the bronze mirror and scolding:

"I said, why are you so stubborn in your mirror? Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!"

The bronze mirror did not move.

"Otherwise, if you suck me in, and when you see Sha Wuyu, I will immediately take her out, and when you come out, I will offer you to the Spirit Mountain as a token of gratitude!

The bronze mirror did not move.

Seeing that the prayer did not work, Sun Wumao became more and more angry, his sword eyebrows were horizontal, he glared angrily at the bronze mirror, and shouted: "What do you mean by this mirror? Then you can go in without fish, and I Sun Wumao can't go in? Are you planning to blatantly rob a woman with my Sun Wucat?

The bronze mirror did not move.

"Damn!" Sun Wu Mao was furious, stood up, raised the bronze mirror above his head, used all his strength, threw it to the ground, rolled up his sleeves and fists, glared angrily, and pointed: "Don't speak? Then you are admitting that you are a public? Okay! Grab a woman with my Sun Wu cat! You have a kind!"

Sun Wumao turned his back and paced angrily around the bronze mirror on the ground, sulking to himself, but there was nothing he could do.

He racked his brains and tried to recall the scenes related to this bronze mirror in the past few days, from the first time he showed him "Sand No Fish" by the river, to the time when the Rakshasa woman handed him in the mural, not letting go of any details. Finally, he got some inspiration from what "Sha Wuyu" said when he first returned from the river that morning, and "Sha Wuyu" said this at the time:

"I was chased by the Rakshasa woman for a long time, and then I found a cave at the bottom of the river, and there was a bronze mirror in the cave, and I was sucked into it, and the Rakshasa girl had nothing to do with the mirror, so she left the ...... angrily"

Thinking of this, Sun Wumao was like an initiation, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that only when there is danger, can this mirror suck people in?"

"Well, maybe there's hope!

Sun Wumao walked over and picked up the bronze mirror, looked back and forth, wiped it with his palm, and was glad that it was not bad. He took out his master's shoe from his bosom, and held it in one hand and the bronze mirror in the other, and he looked at the shoe and then at the bronze mirror, frowned thoughtfully, and finally said to the shoe:

"Master, I'm sorry, you are all capable, I believe that even if you are really eaten by the thousand-year-old dragon catfish, it will not be able to digest you for a while, and it will still be made by you to have a stomachache! Sha Wuyu was sucked into this bronze mirror, and it is still in it, life and death are uncertain, but this bronze mirror is stubborn and refuses to let her out, I have to find a way to get into the mirror to save her, even if you are here, I believe you will definitely support me to do this." In that case, master, then I will listen to you once, and as for whether I can come out or not, then it depends on the fate of the two of us!"

With that, he put his shoes back in his arms, held up the bronze mirror, and looked around.

"This broken cave, with only four walls and no fart, where to find a dangerous place?" Sun Wumao racked his brains and thought for a long time.

"Bang!" he slammed his head against the opposite wall with his head in his hand, but instead of being sucked into it as he had hoped, he knocked himself on his back, his eyes full of Venus.

"Oops!" Sun Wumao screamed in pain, put down the bronze mirror in his hand, held his head in his arms, and rolled on the ground.

He rolled from side to side for a while, sat up, and his head still hurt a little:

"It seems that self-harm doesn't work!"

He rolled his eyes, took his heart into account, and shouted at the depths of the cavern:

"Hey, I said, Is there a rakshasa in this hole? Youkai is fine, just come out! Come and eat me! I'm human!"

His dull echo could be heard from the depths of the cavern, but there was no other response.

He shouted again, but seeing that there was still no response except for the echo, he had to stand up, dust off his body, and continue to walk deeper into the cave. The depths of the cavern, except for the dampness that made it feel more and more damp, were no different from the outside, with still uneven walls and frescoes that stretched deeper into the cavern.

"Hey, are there any monsters? I'm human! Come out and eat me!" Sun Wumao kept asking loudly as he walked, hoping to rush out and chase him down, so that he could encounter danger as he wished and be sucked in by the bronze mirror. However, there was no response other than the constant echoes coming back from the depths of the cavern.

"Hey, are there any monsters? I'm human! Come out and eat me!"

"Hey, are there any monsters, I'm human, ...... quickly"

"Are you fucking annoying?!"

Monkey Cat was halfway through his shouting, when he was suddenly interrupted by an ethereal, deep voice unfriendly. The sound was not an echo, it seemed to be far away, it seemed to be close in front of you, it seemed to be over your head, it seemed to be under your feet, it seemed to be in front of you, it seemed to be behind you, it seemed to be in your own body, and it seemed to be pierced by it from all sides.

Sun Wumao saw that someone interrupted his shouting, which made him feel both happy and nervous, so he quickly stopped, looked up and down, left and right, and looked around him, but there was no figure. So, he quickly raised the bronze mirror, facing him, ready to be sucked in at any moment, and asked in a loud voice:

"Who? Who's talking? Is it a monster? I'm human! Hurry! Come and eat me!"

"Demon, hmmmm

"Demons, Heavenly Dao, Humane Dao, Animal Dao, Asura, Hungry Ghost, Hell Dao, Which Way Are You a Demon?"

"Hmm

"Oh, in this way, we are mixed up on the same road! In this case, it can be regarded as fate, give face, and when you are ready to eat me, let me know, I will run three steps and you will eat again!"

"Hmm

"Yes, even though my master says so! I'm not only cute, but maybe delicious! Come on, come and try it!"

"Alas, I can't taste it, I can't taste it, I can't taste it!"

"How can you not taste it?"

"If I eat you, where will I go?"

"You, the world is so big, you can't go anywhere, you can go wherever you like! Come on, don't talk nonsense, there are a lot of important things waiting for me! Hurry up!"

"What are you in a hurry for, how can you be virtuous with your hairy and thunderous master?"

"If you scold me, you will scold, don't carry my master!"

"Well, yes, it's quite affectionate. ”

"Eating someone is just a matter of closing your mouth and mouth, where do you get so much nonsense?" Sun Wumao was a little impatient, "Forget it, where are you? I'll look for you!"

"I'm in your heart. ”

"What?" said Sun Wumao, thinking he had misheard.

"I am in your heart, and I am the devil in your heart. ”

"You guy, when did you run in? So, you jump out first, eat me, and then change your heart and stay there!"

"Change? The devil is born from the heart, the heart is in me, the heart is destroyed and I am destroyed, you said it lightly, you gave birth to me in the heart, how can I change it?"

"When will my heart give birth to you?"

"How do I know that? You should ask your heart!"

"Okay!" Sun Wumao was a little disappointed, "You guy, since you're not here to eat me, what are you messing with?" didn't you see that this cat was busy?!"

"What are you busy with? Are you busy sending you to death? You cat is so strange, everyone else is afraid of demons and monsters, why do you go around swaggering, lying that you are human, and asking that monster to come and eat you? You are tired of living, I am not tired of being alive!"

"You fucking thing!" Sun Wumao couldn't stand it anymore, "Do you demons talk so much nonsense?

"Hmm, hahaha! It's up to you, you can't kill me!"

"I'm not an ordinary cat, I'm a cat on Lingshan!"

"Don't say that you are just a cat, you are the old man on the spiritual mountain, what can you do to me? I said, the heart is here, the heart is extinguished, I will be destroyed, hmm, hahahahahaha......"

The ethereal, deep laughter gradually dissipated, as if it had been blown away in all directions by a gust of wind blowing.

Seeing that the voice had dispersed, Sun Wumao frowned and thought for a while, then sneered, "To you arrogant, the old man on Lingshan can't help you with a mere demon?"

He saw that the demon had come out to make trouble, and that he could not help him enter the mirror, so he continued to probe into the depths of the cave, and continued to ask loudly, with a strong desire in his heart for a demon to come out and kill him.

In this way, Sun Wumao walked for a long, long time, turned countless detours, and finally, the hard work paid off, and when he turned the last bend in the cave, a magical scene quietly broke into his eyes.
