Orochi Longevity

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven and Master Xuanzang had promised to bring back the cassock before parting, but he went up to Heifeng Mountain with the stick and fought with the black bear spirit several times, but he couldn't get it back, so he was very angry and annoyed.

Simply go directly to Putuo Mountain to ask the teacher.

Unexpectedly, Master Avalokitesvara was so perceptive, not only was he not questioned by the monkey, but he blamed him instead.

The monkey listened to Guanyin's repeated scolding, turned his head away, rolled his eyes, and laughed dryly.

Although he acted without any scruples, he also knew about the Guanyin Temple, and there was indeed something wrong with him. What's more, the Avalokitesvara Temple looks very angry, and people say that the incense is also very prosperous on weekdays, but now he fanned the flames and burned it clean, so it's a little bit unreasonable.

The monkey thought about it, this Guanyin has been practicing in the purple bamboo forest, how could he know everything about the mountain?

It suddenly felt in its heart that the Bodhisattva must know the past and the future, and if he invited her down the mountain, he would be able to capture the black bear spirit.

So the monkey hurriedly stepped forward and said with a laugh:

"Don't blame the Bodhisattva, don't blame the Bodhisattva."

"... At that time, my old grandson was entrusted by you, recognized that pedantic monk as his master, and escorted him to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures... Wasn't my old grandson afraid that the black bear spirit would delay the important task of learning Buddhist scriptures, so he spoke freely? "

"I also hope that the Bodhisattva will watch my grandson do his duty to protect the scriptures, and don't take what my grandson just said to heart."

As he said that, the monkey rolled his eyes again, and immediately knelt down in front of Guanyin:

"Bodhisattva, if you don't want you, show mercy and follow my old grandson down the mountain to get back the cassock! My old grandson can also take his master and set off early, so that he can go to the western heaven to seek the scriptures as soon as possible."

"If not, my old grandson won't be serving you anymore! At worst, pack your luggage and go back to my water curtain cave in Huaguo Mountain. Wouldn't you be at ease?"

Seeing the appearance of the monkey, the woman on the lotus platform couldn't help but smile bitterly. She shook her head and said helplessly:

"Forget it. Since your master and apprentice had an accident in this dojo, the poor monk will accompany you through it for the sake of Master Ni."

The monkey who had just looked aggrieved immediately got up from the ground, and led the way with a smile:

"Bodhisattva, this way please, this way please!"

The fog in the purple bamboo forest gradually thickened, and soon only shadowy shadows could be seen, and the fog gradually condensed into groups of pure white clouds, which floated to the feet of Guanyin by themselves.

Soon, Avalokitesvara and the monkey set foot on the colorful auspicious clouds and soared into the sky, heading straight for the border of southern Yunnan.

Along the way, the clouds drifted and the rays of the sun shone.

Standing behind Guanyin, the monkey stretched out its furry hands to scratch its cheeks and scratched its head. It looked like it was very familiar with Guanyin, and at the same time opened its mouth and chattered non-stop.

Guanyin also responds from time to time, and the two are like friends for many years.

Soon, auspicious clouds descended at the bottom of Heifeng Mountain, and the monkey ran forward impatiently, still shouting:

"Bodhisattva, this way, go this way!"

...

Not long before Avalokitesvara and Monkey King ascended Heifeng Mountain, a young man in a plain Taoist robe and with two black eyebrows fluttering in the wind quietly appeared in the mountain.

This person was Ling Xuzi, he came out from the dark place, first looked left and right, and found nothing unusual around him, then he walked down the path to the top of the mountain with a heavy heart.

He traveled all the way, finally climbed to the top of Heifeng Mountain, and stood before the intersection near the mountain gate.

"..."

There was a trace of exhaustion on Ling Xuzi's face, and his expression was no longer as heartless as before, but instead had a very complicated and dignified expression.

He came to the mountain crossing, moved forward a few times, but then retreated.

After hesitating several times, Ling Xuzi took a deep breath and finally left.

He raised his head and looked forward, but immediately stopped breathing.

In the past, the wind was beautiful, the cranes were circling, and the top of the Heifeng Mountain was ethereal. The original green vegetation was smashed into a mess, and even the entire mountain rock looked dim, as if it had lost all vitality in an instant. Become dead silent.

What made it even more difficult for him to breathe was that there were bloodstains on the rocks not far away!

He saw a snake, to be precise, it should be a dead snake broken into many pieces.

The snake was already bloody and bloody, and its breath was gone.

"Brother Snake..."

Ling Xuzi let out a low sigh.

He walked up to the rock and stretched out his hand to stroke the snake's head.

Then, Ling Xuzi silently and slowly picked up the remnants on the ground bit by bit, he wanted the snake to rest in peace.

Ling Xuzi was not a wolf at first, but a human.

Later, in order to survive in the troubled times, he put on a wolf's skin and became an inhuman existence from then on.

But after so many years, the core of the wolf has not changed, and he still follows the human code of conduct.

Because of this, he didn't want his friend to die in the wilderness.

Ling Xuzi dug a small grave next to the rock, buried all the corpses in it, and set up a small wooden sign beside it, but he didn't know what to write on it.

While doing these actions, many messy pictures appeared in Ling Xuzi's mind.

There were hundreds of years of loneliness, and he fled in embarrassment in the rain alone.

Once he passed by a village and saw bright lights, but turned around and escaped into a cave in the mountains and forests...

For so many years, Ling Xuzi thought that he had gotten used to loneliness, and was used to going forward alone with never-ending burdens on his back.

Until he occasionally met that cold-breathing lady in white, who was the exact opposite of him.

He is a man in wolf's skin, but a gentleman in white is a snake in human's skin.

Ha, this also seems to be a kind of wonderful fate.

The corner of Ling Xuzi's mouth twitched, revealing a bitter smile, but he couldn't smile anymore when he looked at the clean board.

He remembered not long ago, the last time he saw Brother Snake.

He happily told Brother Snake that he had a very good thing to tell him, but Brother Snake shouted at him hoarsely to run away.

Recalling so far, Ling Xuzi gritted his teeth tightly and closed his eyes, as if he was enduring something, his body trembled slightly.

Ling Xuzi thought of his mother.

For so many years, no one has treated him so sincerely except his mother. Even if it was Heifeng, Ling Xuzi didn't think he was saving his life to save himself.

For so many years, there is only Brother Snake.

Only Brother Snake, spend the rainy night with him, only Brother Snake, sleep in the mountains with him.

Only Brother Snake gave him a warning with his own death.

But why...he couldn't get acquainted with Brother Snake earlier? Why did they know each other for such a short time.

It would be great if he could meet Brother Snake earlier, he will cherish this hard-won friendship even more, and he will definitely pay more for this friendship.

Ling Xuzi always thought that he was used to loneliness, even if he was lonely for a hundred years or a thousand years, he would still be able to bear it.

But now he realizes that his heart has been completely empty.

"..."

A drop of tear slipped from Ling Xuzi's face, quickly rolled into the grave and disappeared.
