[Journey to the West] Empty Enlightenment Bodhi

"Huh? There's a monkey here!"

The four-year-old child was pacing and trotting all the way, as if he had discovered something novel and interesting: "Dad, look, there is a monkey here!"

The child's father didn't hear the child's words, he only thought that the child saw some wild flowers, some weeds, and it was the season of harvesting wheat, if not everyone in the family came out to work, he would not kill him Bring out kids as young as four.

The child didn't get an answer from his father, but the child didn't care. He just ran to Wukong and squatted down, whispering to himself: "Little monkey, why are you being crushed under the mountain?"

"Your head is so dirty," the child carefully picked up a vine with his fingers, "I'll clean it up for you. Be good, don't move!"

When Sun Wukong regained consciousness again, he felt that someone was touching his head. At first he thought he was hallucinating, so he blinked vigorously and checked carefully. Then he realized that someone was really helping him. Get the weeds off your head.

It is a bit too much to say that it is a human being.The child was wearing a coarse cloth bunt, and looked like a three-year-old child, who might just be able to talk, and his mouth could not be idle for a moment.

Monkey King wanted to speak, but his mouth was full of freshly poured molten iron, so he could only make a low and hoarse sound.Goku himself was taken aback.

Wukong carefully watched the child's reaction, for fear that he would scare this rare child away.

The child was indeed stunned, holding the vines with his little hands and standing in the air, frowning his little face as if he was about to cry or not, Sun Wukong felt a little bit in his heart, the secret channel was broken, and he wanted to scare him away.

Unexpectedly, the child was crying because he was crying, but he didn't run away. The four-year-old child was slurring his speech, hiccupping while crying: "You are so pitiful, why are you so pitiful? I thought you were dead. "

Sun Wukong:  …

I actually thought I was dead too.

If you didn't call me, I might be dead cold right now.

The child was not afraid of strangers at all, and talked a lot with Sun Wukong, why the little red next door was very beautiful, and the fat guy on the opposite side always beat him.

little red?

Monkey King is a little confused, the name is a little familiar, but who is it?

The child probably just learned to speak, usually alone, no one to play with him, now he caught a monkey that can blink, and regarded the monkey as his new partner, and came to chat with Wukong every day , he is responsible for the chattering part, and Wukong is responsible for the dozing part.

The child has perseverance, and he became acquainted with Monkey King within a few days.

Monkey King has faced a turbulent life since he was born. He has never heard of such a peaceful and peaceful daily life. Hearing it now, he feels that the pool of water that has always been stagnant has a new life.

Later, the child grew up and began to help the family with farm work. He could not stay here with Wukong every day, but as long as the child returned home, he would always come to report and meet with Wukong every day.

The child is kind-hearted, and he never sees Wukong suffering. Every time Wukong gets a new injury, the child runs to pick herbs, crushes them and applies them on Wukong.The small face was wrinkled like a steamed stuffed bun, not like Wukong was suffering, but like a child was injured.

Although Wukong thought it was funny, he was still upset in his heart.

He didn't want to think about the future, he only felt that the present was extremely warm.

The child has finally grown up to the age of going to a private school, carrying his small schoolbag on his back, and running to look for Wukong before dawn.

Wukong doesn't need to sleep. He only feels sleepy when he spends time with children every day. He usually keeps his eyes open looking at the sky and the earth, thinking about life along the way.

The child only started chatting with Wukong, and after chatting for a while, he told Wukong in frustration that he would not be able to come here often in the future, and he would go to a private school to study.

Goku blinked.

The child knew that this meant "agree, agree", but the child was still unhappy. He sat next to Wukong for a long time with his chin in his hands, and finally he said sullenly: "It would be great if you could talk."

Goku blinked.

He thought too.

The child gave a final ah, saying that time was running out, so he could only trot all the way to the private school.

Wukong watched the child gradually turn into a black spot, and then disappeared from his sight, silently lowering his eyes.

-

The children have a lot of homework and haven't been here for a long time.

Wukong stared at the dust on the ground in a daze.

Why didn't the child come.

Are the lessons really that heavy?

Children don't look very well dressed, will they be bullied when they go to private school?

The imperial examinations in the mortal world allow ordinary people to become officials, can children pass the exam?

Will the child come back in the future?

……

The sun rises and sets, sets and rises again, and half a month has passed before you know it.

Wukong drooped his eyelids, listless.

"I'm coming!" The half-grown child jumped up, kicking up a cloud of dust, "Do you miss me?"

Goku blinked.

The child laughed twice, looking very happy, but soon, his mood became depressed, and he talked to Wukong about the private school.

He said: "I'm stupid, and I can't always learn what the teacher teaches. But my father and mother save money for my education, so that one day I can pass the imperial examination and honor my ancestors. But I am too stupid. I can't learn at all." Wukong blinked twice quickly, denying what the child said.But the child shook his head, "Don't comfort me, I know you are kind-hearted, but I'm really too stupid, I can't even memorize the basic enlightenment."

Wukong frowned, he didn't want to see the child so sad, he wanted the child to laugh heartlessly every day, such a kind person deserves the best treatment.

But he couldn't do anything, his mana was blocked, and he couldn't even speak.

The child lowered his head dully, talked to Wukong for a while, and sighed for a while: "Forget it, I'll recite the books for a while. I haven't figured out what happened today. I'm so worried."

Sun Wukong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he howled loudly, desperately beckoning the child to bring him the book.He thought of a way to communicate.

The child handed the book to Monkey King suspiciously, and Monkey King blinked his eyes desperately to signal, the child picked out the word that Monkey King signaled to him half-understood, and subconsciously cut it out of his mind, and got a complete sentence: "I can teach you."

The child suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at the little monkey with only one head exposed in disbelief: "You think you can teach me?"

Goku blinked.To be honest, he was a little worried that the child was yelling at the monster, and then ran away.

But the child didn't run, not only did he not run, but he also saw Monkey King's uneasiness. The child smiled and said: "I didn't run when I was four years old, and I don't know how to run now. I have grown up."

Goku blinked.

The child seemed to be happier, his little partner was finally able to communicate with him, and the child felt that he could wake up from his dreams with a smile.

Children often read books by the stone, and occasionally ask Wukong questions, and Wukong will naturally help him answer them.Although it was only a blink of an eye, the two were finally able to have some normal communication, and Wukong taught him the body-building skills. The child was a little surprised, but with a bit of a daze, he hesitated for a while, but still didn't ask any more questions.Sun Wukong didn't say much either.

The child didn't ask too many questions because he thought it was Wukong's sad thing. If he asked too many questions, Wukong would inevitably feel sad. He wanted to wait for Wukong to tell him personally; Human revenge, after all, the child is just an ordinary mortal, and he has no power to resist.

This matter was turned over like this, the child still met and chatted with Wukong every day, and Wukong looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

The child practiced exercises for strengthening the body, his body gradually became thinner, and his development seemed to be much faster than that of his peers. It didn't take long for him to grow into a teenager, and then gradually into a youth.

The child's parents are getting old and busy to arrange a marriage for the child, but the child gritted his teeth and refused. The child said, how can a man get married if he can't get a job? The child said he would be the first in the imperial examination Civilian champion.The child's parents looked at the child's resolute appearance, sighed and said to let him go.

The child later won the imperial examination in one fell swoop and became the most outstanding civilian champion in the first imperial examination.The emperor asked him where he wanted to work, whether it was the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Household Affairs, but this upstart, who was as tall as a pine tree, knelt down and begged for the emperor's grace: "Caomin just wants to go back to his hometown to be a parent officer, and I implore the emperor for his permission."

The emperor frowned and thought over and over again, and finally nodded.

This is the first new imperial examination champion from among the common people. The emperor thought that if this person were beheaded today, there would be no poor people to participate in the imperial examination in the future.For the smooth implementation of this measure, the emperor decided to tolerate this ignorant grassroots man and let him go back to his hometown to be a parent official who would never get a promotion in his life.

The young man was neither sad nor sad, and there was even a slight smile between his brows and eyes, making him even more handsome and dashing.

After Wukong heard it, he was so angry that he was about to die.He scolded him for not knowing what to do, but the young man sat on the ground as usual, his official robe was stained with mud, looking at Wukong blinking desperately, his brows and eyes were filled with the soft light of the setting sun.

In the first year of his tenure, the young man made remarkable achievements, eliminated corrupt officials, and the people cheered.

In the second year of his tenure, the young man had excellent grades, minimized the unjust imprisonment, never closed the house at night, and never picked up things on the road. The people called him a real parent official.

In the third year after the young man took office, the local tax revenue reached a new peak. The emperor finally liked the number one scholar and stopped criticizing him too much in politics.

In the fifth year since the young man took office, all the people regarded the young man as their own family. After knowing that the young man was currently living in a thatched hut next to the mountain, they hurriedly helped the young man find a partner, hoping that their parents could have a stable home. .

In the sixth year after the youth took office, the youth recruited a group of migrant workers under the pretext of strengthening the border defense, and started the mighty mountain-moving movement.Although the emperor disagreed, he did not object after all.Although the local people were suffering, they never complained. Instead, they spontaneously organized groups of people.

In the ninth year after the young man took office, the young man closed his eyes, resigned to his fate and withdrew the order to move the mountain.

In the tenth year since the young man took office, rumors spread among the earlier migrant workers that the young man's lover was trapped in the mountains, and that's why he was ordered to move the mountains.

It has been 11 years since the young man took office at No. [-], and no one came to say goodbye. Everyone seemed to acquiesce that the young man already had a sweetheart.

The young man took office at No. 12 years ago, he adopted a child, and he was nearly [-] years old at this time.

Wukong persuaded and scolded him, but the young man lifted up his clothes and sat casually beside him, just like when he was returning to his hometown in fine clothes.

Wukong closed his eyes, only feeling like a knife was twisting his heart.
