Black Myth: You and I are both destined

Tianming and Zhu Bajie chased hard in the snow. Although they were blocked by a group of evil monks who were freezing to death and starving to death, these monsters were no match for them.

They fought and ran, and soon caught up with the red-butted monkey on the snowy plain.

The red-butted monkey drew out the big knife behind it and actually wanted to go against them, but Tianming didn't intend to let it go easily.

Since his last visit to heaven, Tianming's magic power has greatly increased. The effect of the golden elixir has made his body stronger, his meridians are unobstructed, his strength is more amazing than before, and his martial arts and stick techniques have become extremely proficient.

Snowflakes fluttered in the air like goose feathers, and Tianming's face was covered with a thin layer of frost, but his eyes were burning with flames of anger.

His movements were swift and powerful. Lifting the stick, Tianming accumulated four levels of strength, flew over and chopped the stick, knocking the red-butt monkey to the ground.

Then, he held the stick in front of his chest and exerted all his strength again. Before the red-butted monkey could get up, it was knocked down by the stick again. It was no match at all, and the red-butted monkey's sword was also knocked to the ground.

The red-butted horse monkey hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy, but Tianming did not give it a chance. He kicked it to the ground again and pointed the stick at its head!

"Pick up the knife!"

The red-butted monkey shook his head desperately and didn't dare to pick up the knife. Tianming looked like his king and was incredibly powerful, which made it respect him from the bottom of its heart.

But the red-butted monkey's fear seemed insignificant compared to Tianming's anger.

Tianming's voice became louder and louder, and he continued to order: "I told you to pick up the knife!"

In fear and despair, the red-butted monkey picked up the knife and turned around to escape.

Tianming caught up quickly, and the monkey farted in desperation, trying to blind Tianming's eyes with the stench, but Tianming was extremely fast and dodged the move with a flash. He knocked the red-butt monkey down with another stick, and its sword fell to the ground again!

"I told you to pick up the knife!"

There was only fear left in the eyes of the red-butted macaque, it knew it had no way to escape.

Under Tianming's pressure, the red-butted monkey picked up the knife with trembling hands and feet.

A hint of cunning flashed in its eyes, and just when Tianming relaxed his vigilance a little, the red-butted monkey suddenly launched a sneak attack.

A pair of large black wings suddenly spread out from behind it. The feathers on the wings were as deep as the night. It waved the knife that was emitting red light, and with the power of its wings, it rushed into the sky and escaped from Tianming's control.

A smug smile appeared on the face of the red-butted monkey. It thought it had finally escaped and was secretly glad in its heart. However, it did not notice that Zhu Bajie was watching this scene coldly above the clouds.

Zhu Bajie swung his nine-toothed rake, and a golden light streaked across the sky, accurately hitting the red-buttocked monkey.

The red-butted monkey was knocked to the ground by the sudden blow, its wings drooped weakly and the knife slipped from its hand.

Zhu Bajie descended from the clouds with a playful smile on his face. He laughed and scolded: "You monkey grandson, are you playing tricks on Grandpa Pig? On the way to the West, Tang Monk was captured, and Grandpa Pig was still eating fruit in the palace. How can you think of escaping?"

There was no way to get into the ground at this moment, and the red-butted monkey had completely lost its fighting spirit. It could only lie on the ground and wait for the decision.

Tianming raised his stick and tapped the red-butted monkey's right shoulder with the tip of the stick. His voice was a little cold: "Who in the world is more heroic than the Monkey King? You were originally a member of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. Why didn't you follow him, but attacked us instead? You are full of evil spirits. Have you become a traitor?"

The red-butted macaque has completely lost its former majesty at this time. Its eyes are full of fear and confusion, and the "ao ao ah ah" sounds coming out of its mouth make it impossible to understand what it is saying.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Bajie shook his head, walked over and squatted in front of the red-buttocked monkey, and began to communicate with it in monkey language.

“Ohhhh…”

The voice of Zhu Bajie and the voice of the red-butted monkey intertwined together, sounding both funny and somewhat sad.

Zhu Bajie explained to Tianming while communicating with the red-butted monkey.

"This monkey's mind is damaged and it can no longer speak human language. But they only remember how to speak their mother tongue. I also stayed in Huaguo Mountain for a period of time. In order to persuade the eldest brother to come down, I specially learned monkey language from these monkeys."

Tianming felt complicated as he watched Zhu Bajie and the red-butted horse monkey communicating in monkey language.

He found it somewhat funny, yet also felt uncomfortable.

How come these monkey generals from the Flower-Fruit Mountain turned into bird-men with wings, and were filled with evil spirits?

"My dear nephew, this monkey said that it originally came here to look for the great sage's roots, but encountered many difficulties along the way and found nothing. Later, it was enlightened by Maitreya here and became like this."

"Maitreya? Could it be that we met that little monk in gray before..."

"Yes, that big belly is Maitreya. Don't be fooled by his childish appearance, he is a man of deep thoughts!"

"When we were seeking the scriptures, we were blocked by his disciple Huang Mei. Even Monkey King couldn't do anything with his magic weapon. Pig also asked the twenty-eight stars and the twelve zodiac signs to come to help."

"Thinking back then, that battle was really bloody!"

Tianming scratched the back of his head. “At that time, I only knew that he had some abilities, but I didn’t know his identity. We shouldn’t have let him go at that time.”

Zhu Bajie also sighed.

"He is the Buddha from the East. Who can stop him from leaving?"

"Since he is also involved, we must be more careful not to get fooled."

“Ohhhh…”

"Second Brother, what is this monkey talking about?"

"Oh, it said that Maitreya saw the suffering it had endured along the way and told it that it was all caused by its lack of strength. If it had the same ability as the Great Sage, it would not have to suffer these hardships anymore."

At this point, the two of them also understood why the Red-butted Monkey betrayed. After all, it was because of greed. They respected and feared the Great Sage, so it would be better to be the Great Sage instead of being there.

"He also said that Maitreya is in the Zhaojian Lake ahead. If we go there, we will be captured and imprisoned in the pagoda in the pagoda world."

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie and Tianming smiled at each other, then let go of the red-butt monkey.

The monkey was stunned when he saw this. He had clearly said such words, so why was he let go? And the two men continued to walk towards Zhaojian Lake with a smile on their faces.

The red-butted monkey couldn't figure it out for a moment, and started making "oh oh ah ah" sounds again towards the direction where Tianming and Zhu Bajie left.

There was a warning tone in its voice, which meant to say: "You let me go, so I am telling the truth. If I continue to move forward, I will definitely be caught."

Zhu Bajie wanted to turn around and say something to it, but Tianming turned around first and responded in monkey language. Zhu Bajie curiously asked Tianming: "How come you can speak monkey language?"

Tianming replied: "When you just talked about it, I understood it without knowing why."

After the two of them left, the red-butted monkey was still standing there in a daze. Tianming's monkey language meant: "I, Sun, am back."
