Tang Monk left, leaving Huxiao alone to stare blankly at his leaving figure.
Thinking about the words that Tang Monk left behind before leaving, Hu Xiao couldn't regain his senses for a long time.
"I am Wukong's master, but I am also the one who owes him the most, so I really want to do something and do something for him."
"Don't come to beg me again. Fifteen hundred years have passed and I have given up. Why are you still stubborn? He won't see you. Even if I really take you into Lingshan and get in front of him, he won't
I won’t see you. Because he is no longer the Monkey King of your demon tribe. Now, he is the fighting and conquering Buddha of my Buddhist sect.”
After saying these heartless words, Tang Seng turned and left.
Hu Xiao knelt on the ground, the blood on his forehead dyed his whole face red. With tearful eyes, he listened to Tang Seng's words, watched Tang Seng leave step by step, and finally knelt on the ground.
"Holy Monk......"
A moment later, melodious words came from the mouth of the figure from behind, awakening the desperate tiger's roar.
"The Sandalwood Buddha in front of you may not be able to protect too many people, but it can still protect dozens of little demons. Please don't cause trouble in the future."
Hu Xiao watched in a daze, and watched Tang Seng leave in a daze. It was not until Tang Seng completely disappeared from his eyes that he kowtowed again and gave a big salute.
"The roar of the tiger thanked the holy monk!"
——————————
On the way back to the hotel, Tang Seng held his hands behind his back and stared at the gray sky with a smile on his face.
"I wonder if the monkey will be happy when he finds out? Haha, who knows, probably it will be, but the monkey has always been like a stone. Even if it is really happy, it can't be seen."
Tang Seng's footsteps paused and stopped in place.
"But you said you gave up, did you really give up? Even those stupid monsters refused to let go, how can you Jin Chanzi let go?"
"Actually, you still can't let it go, right? If you really let it go, why do you have to come to see these pitiful silly monsters tonight? Why do you have to protect them? Drink a pot of strong wine, indulge in laughter, and watch
If you die while watching them, doesn’t that mean you truly let go?”
"That's it, for the last time, don't meddle in other people's business from now on."
Tang Monk was talking to himself, talking to himself.
He told himself, let it go, it was time to let it go.
It's passed, it's been fifteen hundred years, it's been a full fifteen hundred years since he climbed onto Lingshan Mountain, you...it's time to let it go.
In a daze, a very familiar voice seemed to appear in my ears, and an old figure gradually appeared in front of me.
"Master, thank you."
The figure clasped his hands together, saluted lightly, and said to himself.
Looking at the unreal figure in front of him, Tang Monk smiled gracefully, as if he had returned to a thousand years ago.
"This is what a master should do, Wukong, why do you have to be so alienated from the master? Don't forget, as a master..."
The evening breeze blew by, and the figure in front of Tang Monk disappeared, and the sounds in his ears disappeared. Only a white stray dog slowly ran past his eyes.
Tang Seng's eyes darkened.
Hallucination? Probably so.
But I did see the monkey who refused to admit defeat again, haha, that's not bad.
With his hands behind his back, Tang Seng didn't want to think about those things anymore. He was walking alone on the deserted street.
"Wukong, you have a very bad master. This very bad master deceived you into going with him on a path with almost no hope, but you still went and were willing to risk your life with him. It's a pity that...
As a teacher, I will eventually fail you."
The evening wind blows, the fallen leaves drift, and the thin figure disappears into the darkness and moves forward silently.
————————————
"Hello."
"I heard that you are the Monkey King who caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then. Hello."
"Someone told me that you are a stone monkey, so you can't speak, right?"
The monkey, who was pinned down at the foot of the mountain, looked at him coldly. His hair was full of weeds, but his eyes were still so violent.
He smiled to himself, then sat cross-legged in front of him.
"Would you like to go out?"
"I can help you out."
Monkeys don't like to talk, so they don't talk and only talk to themselves.
"My name is Xuanzang and I am a monk. I want to go to the West to do a big thing. Are you willing to go with me?"
The monkey still didn't speak, just stared at him fiercely.
"My problem is big and powerful, so many people want to kill me, but I don't want to die. I want to find a powerful person to protect me. Are you willing to be this person?"
"I can't promise you anything, because I don't know if I can succeed. I want to go very far, and I want to use my own way to go all the way to the west, but some people don't want me to go there, because my way is not the same as
Theirs is different.”
"Are you done?"
The monkey with fierce eyes finally spoke.
He shook his head seriously.
"No."
"I was pressed here by Tathagata." Monkey said coldly.
"I've heard that it seems that you made a mistake, but I don't think you are at fault, so are you willing to go on the road with me?"
"You want me to be your dog in some way?"
"Master and apprentice, I am your master, you are my first apprentice, and at the same time, you are also the first person I have saved."
"Are you worthy?"
"If you don't deserve it now, you will in the future."
"roll!"
"You're scared."
"I'm afraid of a lot."
"What are you afraid of? Afraid that what you have done is useless, that the people who follow you will continue to die? Afraid that you will make the same mistakes again?"
"But have you ever thought about it, if you continue to stay here, nothing will change in heaven. What you hate will eventually be what you hate, and there will be no change in the outcome."
"Do you still have a choice? When you leave that mountain, when you pick up that stick, when you put up that flag, you have no way out."
"My name is Xuanzang. I am a monk. I am going to the West. This is a gamble. Some people believe that I will win, and some people do not. Do you want to believe it?"
The monkey closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep.
He sighed to himself.
He patted the dust on the monk's clothes and stood up helplessly.
"Okay, then I won't force you, poor monk. Let's see you again in the future."
————————————
the next day.
Looking at the thin monkey next to him, watching him catch lice on his body out of boredom.
He looked at the flat road in front of him and smiled lightly.
"Still want to believe it and aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?"
The monkey is a stone, so he doesn't like to talk.
It wasn't until he killed a tiger and put on a tiger skin skirt that he said a dull word.
"I don't trust anyone, but you are right about one thing. I really have no other choice but to bet with you once."
While I was transcending the tiger, I glanced at the taciturn monkey, and then closed my eyes.
"Then let's go on the road together."
A monkey and a monk in white were walking on the road, heading towards the place called Lingshan.
——————————
"I forgot to ask you, what are you going to do?"
"Learn from the scriptures."
"What lessons should we take?"
"Take my scriptures."
"You still want to go to someone else to get your scriptures?"
"yes."
"I want to kill you."
"You won't, because you are my apprentice."
"I used to have a master, but he never cared about me and even hated me."
"I don't know how to do it. I like animals very much, and I will protect you."
"Are you worthy?"
"match."
————————————
"Not worthy."
Tang Monk smiled slightly, then waved his right hand, and the scene in front of him disappeared.
This was the first time he saw Wukong. He remembered it very clearly and always kept it in his heart.
It was only later that he learned that only three people could open the seal of the World Honored One: himself, the World Honored One, and the monkey.
He has been suppressed for five hundred years, and most of his moral conduct has been damaged. But he was very powerful at the beginning. The old master did not move and the World Honored One ignored him. There is no one in this world who can suppress him.
After the first hundred years, he could have left, but he didn't, probably because he was discouraged.
Until he met himself and said some strange things to him, the monkey came out.
Tang Seng didn't really believe in the concept of fate before, but that day, when he saw the monkey pinned down at the foot of the mountain for the first time, he suddenly knew what fate was.
This monkey will definitely go with him on the road, definitely.
He didn't know why, but he just had that strong premonition, so he talked to him a lot, and also told him his own truth. Maybe he really killed the monster monkey that killed countless heavenly soldiers and generals.
Became his own disciple.
As for whether the monkey regarded him as his master, he didn't know, but he knew one thing.
That is that I am really not worthy of being his master, and he cannot protect him. I can only talk about some specious truths, and I can only talk about the path that I think is right.
The monkey should believe him, right? Because he piled his last bit of chips in front of himself and even bet on it himself.
In order to help him Pudu, he killed many people he didn't want to kill. Those people were his subordinates, more loyal subordinates than the tiger just now!
He also released many people he wanted to kill in order to help himself survive.
But in the end, I was still defeated, completely defeated...
Back then, when he walked up the Lingshan Mountain after untold hardships and came to the World Honored One, the World Honored One did not listen to his teachings, and did not ask himself how many sentient beings he had saved during these one hundred and eight thousand miles, and whether he had enlightened himself.
He had learned so much Mahayana Buddhism. On that day, the World-Honored One just pointed at the four bloody disciples following him.
"Have they been put down? Have you ferried them over?"
He looked back at his disciples, but he didn't see anything he wanted to see in their eyes...
Then the World-Honored One waved his hand gently, and the people who had been saved by him in the past appeared in front of him, that is, all sentient beings.
The people he saved were still as before, still troubled by disasters and tormented by the world of mortals. They had no clear mind and nature, could not understand, and could not see, because the people in the world were so ignorant, because the people in the world were so suffering, because he had saved them.
A moment can’t survive a lifetime!
Finally, the World-Honored One looked at him.
"And you?"
His Taoist heart... was broken.
——————————
Tang Monk chuckled, rubbed his hands and laughed, his smile was so vulgar, his smile was so pitiful.
"From now on, the only person left in the world is Tang Monk, a Buddhist scum who only knows how to drink and eat meat and is obsessed with the world of mortals!"
"Yes, what about me? I went to Purdue for the sake of Purdue. I can't save the world, I can't save my disciples, I can't even save myself..."
After being crazy for a while, Tang Seng calmed down.
Continue walking on the deserted streets.
"It's over, it's all over, it's all over."
With one last long sigh, Tang Monk turned his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, nodding thoughtfully.
"However, that tiger spirit must be hiding something from me. Although the Heavenly Court has not used large-scale troops against the mortal world for more than a hundred years, the Sky Patrol Prison has never rested. Although ordinary little monsters no longer surround and kill, the Huaguoshan's
Monsters are never on the list of those who can be pardoned."
"Most of the fifty-two little demons have just transformed, but there are also a few that have entered the realm. I think they were all surviving back then. However, it is impossible for them to escape the heavenly soldiers of the Patrol Prison.
.”
"There should be someone helping them secretly. It shouldn't be those vampire goblins. Who could it be?"
As he said this, Tang Monk smiled.
"Why do you think so much? Is there anything in this world that I should care about now? Even if the spiritual mountain collapses and the heaven is destroyed, what does it have to do with me?"
With a loud laugh, Tang Monk walked away.
——————————
Not long after Tang Monk left the park, the white stray dog that had just passed by his eyes walked back to the front of the park.
Standing in front of the park gate, the white stray dog lowered his head and sniffed, then blinked his eyes in confusion.
Soon, Hu Xiao walked out of the park, but Hu Xiao didn't pay attention to the stray dog and left quickly.
The white stray dog stared at Hu Xiao's back for a long time, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
Huxiao sensed the stray dog's gaze on him, and stopped and turned to look back, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he ignored it and turned away.
Watching the tiger roaring away, the white stray dog lowered its head and sniffed the ground again, then pricked up its ears towards the place where Tang Monk left.
Staring at the place where Tiger Roar left and sniffing the direction in which Tang Monk left, a deep confusion appeared in the white stray dog's eyes.
Five minutes later, after shaking his head, the proud stray dog wiped his face with his paws, licked the corners of his mouth, and walked away in small steps. (To be continued)
