Journey to the West: The Ninth Life

Tang Xuanzang had a very long dream.

Babies crying, tall temples, evening drums and morning bells, wooden fish, and the sound of Buddhist scriptures.

Everything is blurred into a huge background.

□□The seal made.

Click, click, the sound of a broken seal.

There is also a tall, unruly, but lonely figure, with its back to him, walking away bit by bit.

In the dream, Tang Xuanzang desperately wanted to peel off the fog in front of him to catch up with the voice walking in front, but his steps were heavy as if he was carrying a weight of lead.

Keep going and keep going.

He desperately wanted to see the man's face clearly.

Until the man knelt on a very high place, bent down, and lowered his head.

Blood flowed down the armor.

Tang Xuanzang saw with his own eyes that the man's flesh and blood were cut off by others, and he could see every cut clearly, without any hair.

Heart throbbing pain.

He wanted to stop it, but found that he couldn't move at all, and he didn't even make a sound.

who is it.

who is it.

In the dream, Tang Xuanzang opened his mouth wide and wanted to call out the person's name, but he seemed to be severely restrained by an indescribable force.

Powerless.

Heart like a knife.

"Great Sage—"

Sitting up suddenly from the spot, covered in cold sweat, Tang Xuanzang's face was pale, and his breathing was very short of breath. He looked around and didn't calm down until he saw Monkey King's face.

Sun Wukong's expression was the same as usual.

Frowning slightly, he stretched out his hand and touched Tang Xuanzang's forehead, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xuanzang's throat was dry.

At this moment, I just feel that my eyes can't be moved away. Looking at Monkey King, it seems that I have found a pillar that is enough to stabilize his heart.

He wanted to tell him about the chaotic dream he had just had.

I opened my mouth to speak, but found that my mind was blank, and there was nothing.

"I just had a dream...dream...dream..." Tang Xuanzang's eyes were a little confused, and he couldn't remember the content of the dream just now.

"Hey..." Tang Xuanzang was trying to think about what he had dreamed about before, habitually preparing to avoid the wounds on his body, but was surprised to find that his originally scarred body had recovered intact.

"My lord, is my injury healed?"

"kindness."

Sun Wukong turned his back, nodded lightly, and remained reticent as usual.

Tang Xuanzang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he grabbed Sun Wukong's arm, "Great Sage, you were able to heal all my injuries in an instant!"

Sun Wukong snorted.

A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

Returning to his usual impatient and conceited look, he glanced at Tang Xuanzang and nodded casually, "I am the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, what kind of pain can't be healed?"

"Great Sage Equaling Heaven..." Tang Xuanzang repeated in his mouth habitually, only to feel that in the deepest part of his body, something surged up in an instant, surged, but was suppressed.

"By the way, just stay here and don't move." Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and scratched his ears, and gave Tang Xuanzang a stern look. The golden cudgel drew a circle to enclose him.

"I've got something to do, I'll be right back."

After all, he held the golden cudgel in his hand, turned his back to Tang Xuanzang, and walked away step by step.

It has been out of Tang Xuanzang's sight.

The originally calm expression on Sun Wukong's face became dark and complicated in an instant.

He had just dreamed.

He has been by his side all the time, and he naturally saw all the changes in Tang Xuanzang's expression in the dream.

He heard him calling himself a saint.

He heard him introducing himself to the Great Sage, he was Jiang Liu'er.

If there is no mistake in guessing, it is probably Tang Xuanzang's dream, which is the memory of the previous life.

I can't say I'm happy.

Sun Wukong frowned, feeling a little unspeakably upset.This time life and death were on the line, he was seriously injured and comatose, and the memory of his previous life was touched. He was not happy, but more complicated in his heart.

Restore memory.

Whether it is good or bad for Jiang Liu'er.

Sun Wukong couldn't see clearly.

Selfishly speaking, he hopes that Tang Xuanzang can restore all his memories, remember Jiang Liuer in his previous life, remember the roads they walked together, so that he can hold his ear, hold his collar, Give him a good beating.

But intellectually?

Learn from the Western Paradise and achieve positive results.

This is the only long-cherished wish that Jiang Liu'er wants to achieve in the ten lifetimes of reincarnation.

If I urge him to restore his memory step by step, if I personally destroy his dream of learning Buddhist scriptures in the West.

How selfish.

A chuckle.

Take a deep breath and breathe out deeply.

Sun Wukong hit the ground with a stick, frowned and looked at the cracks on the ground, and cursed in a low voice.

When will my old grandson need to worry about what is there and what is not.

Blame that idiot Jiang Liuer!

----

Tang Xuanzang sat alone in the circle drawn by Monkey King, but he unconsciously returned to the scene in Black Tiger Mountain yesterday in his mind.

He jumped from top to bottom with the determination to die.

So much so that when he regained consciousness later and was able to stand up in a trance, he still didn't think that he might escape.

The famous master Xuanzang.

But in fact, apart from those Buddhist scriptures, he didn't even have the basic ability to protect himself.

not to mention.

The Great Sage was driven away by him.

Hurt by his distrust.

When he was tied to the iron pillar and was roasted by fire, he had no fear in his heart, only full of guilt and self-blame for Sun Wukong.

Monkey King is very proud.

How could he go back and forth to protect himself again?

When he was desperate.

Sun Wukong stood in the air, with a fiery red scarf and a gilded armor like flames, holding him in his arms.

At this moment.

As long as Tang Xuanzang thought of the pair of black and golden eyes that Sun Wukong looked at him before, he couldn't help but his cheeks became hot, and even his whole body seemed to be scalded, very hot.

How good.

He must have cultivated the blessings of the ten lives, and in this life, he was able to meet the Monkey King to be his apprentice.

"I'm back."

Sun Wukong's voice suddenly appeared in front of Tang Xuanzang, he raised his head habitually, but the moment his eyes touched something behind him, he was a little stunned because he couldn't react.

"My lord, this is..."

There are nearly a hundred monsters behind Sun Wukong, cat monsters, tree monsters, tiger monsters, snake monsters, all of them.

With a wave of his right hand, the rope made of the golden cudgel in his hand stretched instantly, and a hundred monsters restrained all their hostility and evil spirit, and stood obediently in front of Tang Xuanzang.

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, pointed to the monsters in front of him as if nothing had happened, and spoke impatiently.

"Today I will teach you how to identify monsters."

"..."

"One by one."

I don't know what method Sun Wukong used to subdue these monsters, almost all the famous monsters from a hundred miles around gathered here.

But these monsters are absolutely masters of killing without blinking an eye. When they came in front of Monkey King or Tang Xuanzang, even if they knew it was a piece of fat that couldn't be fatter, they kept looking forward to it. Not even a glance.

joke.

Yesterday, the entire Black Tiger Mountain was wiped out with a wave of hands. All the monsters on the mountain, and even the Lord of the Black Tiger Mountain who had practiced for thousands of years, all had no ability to fight back at all, leaving no armor behind.

Even that mountain.

In an instant, he was razed to the ground by Monkey King.

In the eyes of these monsters, the current Monkey King is a naked evil star!

He is also a peerless evil star that no one dares to provoke.

"Hello, holy monk, I am a snake demon who has cultivated for more than 500 years on the mountain in the distance. I am ordered by the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to teach you how to distinguish monsters."

The snake demon is a seductive woman, standing where she is, if she didn't admit it, Tang Xuanzang would never believe that she was a monster.

Xuanzang had never seen such a scene, so he was naturally at a loss.

The monster who has cultivated for 500 years stood in front of him respectfully and told him how to distinguish monsters... Habitually looking at Monkey King, before he could speak, Monkey King glared at the snake monster impatiently, "What are you doing in a daze, Say it quickly!"

The snake demon trembled in fright, not knowing where he had offended this evil star again, and hastily bowed and pointed to his eyes.

"Even if we practice human form, the pattern of the eyes is still the pattern of a beast, which is different from human eyes. If the holy monk does not believe it, you can take a closer look."

After all, Tang Xuanzang followed his eyes and looked over, as expected.

Those eyes, if you don't look carefully, you can't really see them.

Cold and scary.

It's a pair of snake eyes!

"Okay, okay, next one!" Sun Wukong interrupted, frowning to signal for another monster to come out, watching the snake monster retreat with its waist twisted, still feeling a little unspeakably irritated.

Although he knew that the habit of the snake demon was born like this, but seeing her using charms in front of Tang Xuanzang, even if Tang Xuanzang turned a blind eye, he still couldn't restrain himself and wanted to stop it.

"Holy Monk, look at the shadow on the ground after I transform into a human form!"

"Holy Monk, look at the tiger's chest."

"Holy monk, you smell our body!"

"..."

"..."

Perhaps it was because they were afraid of accidentally angering Sun Wukong, so the powerful monsters in various places tried their best to tell Tang Xuanzang about their flaws after transforming into human form. They also said in detail, for fear of missing that point.

After all the monsters had finished speaking, Monkey King waved his right hand again, and everyone in front of him disappeared, and there were only two of them left in the cave.

Tang Xuanzang knew why Sun Wukong spent so much effort to find so many monsters.

He didn't believe him.

Pursing his lips, Tang Xuanzang turned his head to look at Monkey King, "My lord, I have remembered everything they said just now."

Sun Wukong didn't seem to hear, leaning on the stone with his back to Tang Xuanzang, his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

"In the future, I will definitely believe what you say, and I will never make my own claims again."

"Great Sage, yes..."

I'm sorry I haven't said these three words yet.

Sun Wukong opened his eyes and interrupted like a prophet.

With the same impatient expression, he waved his hand, "Okay, okay, you're a fool, and it's not the first day I know."

"correct."

As if he suddenly thought of something, Tang Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Monkey King's back and asked, "Great Sage, how did you know that my baby name was Jiang Liu'er?"

Ask out the words.

Monkey King's action of adding wood to the fire suddenly froze.

"Jiang Liu'er will always believe in his great sage."

"Why don't you believe me."

This is what Sun Wukong asked Tang Xuanzang when he was furious, disappointed, and angry, almost lost control and lost his mind.

He could even feel Tang Xuanzang's gaze looking at him at this moment.

Exhale gently.

Throw the firewood in your hand into the fire.

Pretend as if nothing had happened.

Sun Wukong waved his hand casually, "I'm the Monkey King, I know it's been 500 years, maybe when you wet your bed and pants when you were young, I even spanked your ass."

"..." A face flushed instantly, Tang Xuanzang mumbled his lips, but he didn't know what to refute, and after a long time, he blushed and glared at Monkey King.

"I... I... but your master!"

Concealing all the bottomless emotions in his eyes, Monkey King raised his thin lips, smiled meaningfully, turned his head abruptly, and approached until he was less than a finger away from Tang Xuanzang before stopping.

You can even hear each other's breathing.

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, serious.

"Then master, it's late at night, should the apprentice wait for you to rest?"

bang-

His face flushed red again.

Turning away abruptly, Tang Xuanzang's throat was dry and he shook his head vigorously.

"You...why are you so rude...I...poor monk...Amitabha..."

In the end, Monkey King did not continue to tease Tang Xuanzang.

He slept on the paved hay and had no dreams.

Monkey King sat on a high branch, looking at the dark sky in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sound of the wind, the chirping of cicadas, and the chirping of frogs.

All night.

----

----

On the second day, Sun Wukong was still in front and Tang Xuanzang was behind.

When passing by a house, Tang Xuanzang glanced at it, feeling a little surprised, "Great Sage, look at this house, it's so beautiful, it doesn't look like it was built in the mountains."

Sun Wukong frowned and casually turned his head to take a look, but it was just an ordinary house, except that the construction was indeed extremely exquisite, there was nothing unusual, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to it.

So the two continued to move forward.

I don't know how long it took.

When Tang Xuanzang saw the house for the second time, he was a little surprised, "Did we go the wrong way, why did we come back here again?"

Sun Wukong frowned.

This time, he squinted his eyes and looked at the house carefully again. There was still nothing unusual, but it seemed that he had seen it somewhere, and he was indescribably familiar.

But no matter how I think about it, I can't think of it.

the third time.

the fourth time.

Tang Xuanzang stood in front of the house, his expression was a little nervous, and he habitually looked at Monkey King.

"Great Sage, have we... encountered a monster?"

Sun Wukong laughed.

"Master, it seems that we accidentally walked into the illusion set by others."
