Journey to the West: The Ninth Life

Tang Xuanzang had never been so afraid in his life.

When he ran back to the top of the mountain, the moment he saw Monkey King standing in the middle of all the monsters covered in blood.

He wanted to cry and laugh.

Feeling that he finally made it in time to run back, he couldn't help regretting that he didn't come early enough.

All the way back to the thatched cottage.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk to the Great Sage.

And it wasn't always pouting.

On the contrary, he hides too many words in his heart, and wants to tell him too many emotions.

As soon as he saw the scars on his body, they were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Sun Wukong frowned, seeing the changing expression of the monk in front of him, he couldn't help raising his hand to smooth the wrinkles between his brows.

He just raised his hand, but it was held by Tang Xuanzang.

Sniffing, trying to stabilize his emotions.

"You're hurt, don't move."

Sun Wukong was taken aback for a moment, and then wanted to laugh.

Shaking his head with a look of indifference, "I am the Monkey King, what is this little skin trauma?"

"That's how...that's how I recognized you."

Tang Xuanzang raised his head and smiled at Monkey King.

Eye sockets are red, but it is the aftermath of the catastrophe.

He said, didn't you ask me how I recognized you?That's how I recognized it.

In heaven and earth, from ancient times to the present, from beginning to end, there is only one Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

No matter how much the six-eared macaque looks like, there is no flaw in the likeness.

A fake is a fake.

After all, he will never become the Monkey King.

Before, Tang Xuanzang was really in a mess.

In other words, when he recovered the memory of his previous life, when he really merged with Jiang Liuer, and the six-eared macaque appeared, he never had any doubts and was completely biased.

Then Monkey King appeared.

Even though he was shocked and confused, he still leaned towards the six-eared macaque.

He came at a really good moment.

until he got hurt.

Tang Xuanzang knew in his heart that he was just a mere mortal.

The biggest pillar in his heart is the Great Sage.

When he saw the 'Great Sage' falling from the air with serious injuries, he couldn't remember what happened to calmness, rationality and objectivity.

He was just afraid that something would happen to the Great Sage.

Even the injured 'Great Sage' in front of him is very likely to be a six-eared macaque in disguise.

He can't afford to lose, and he can't afford to gamble.

So he forced himself not to think too much, and took up the 'Great Sage' step by step with difficulty.

Tang Xuanzang can still remember that moment when the blood of the six-eared macaque dripped on his face, the almost burning sensation.

"Great Sage, hold on, hold on." Tang Xuanzang was flustered and helpless, repeating it like a dream, trying to divert the attention of 'Sun Wukong' so that he would not feel so painful and fall asleep.

But the salty blood dripping down his back continuously made his heart become colder and colder.

The six-eared macaque looked at Tang Xuanzang's flustered appearance, and narrowed his eyes slightly at an angle that he could not see.

So far, the plan has almost been considered a success.

In Liuer's mind, the image of Sun Wukong's conceited and invincible image appeared in Liuer's mind, and he couldn't help being very happy.

Just proud of it, it affected the wound on the body, and couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.

Tang Xuanzang felt anxious when he heard the voice, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, Great Sage? Why are you hurt so badly...why are you hurt so badly..."

Hearing Tang Xuanzang's voice, the six-eared macaque pretended to be weak and angry, coughed violently a few times before speaking slowly.

"In order to get rid of my confidant's serious trouble... so the six-eared macaque... blesses the power of gods and Buddhas... which is equivalent to... equivalent to another Tathagata avatar..."

"The six-eared macaque has a deep scheming mind... thinking of replacing it with all its heart..."

"Cough cough cough... Fortunately, you were not deceived by him..."

"Otherwise...otherwise I will be pushed into the endless purgatory..."

Tang Xuanzang stopped suddenly.

His expression was a little hesitant.

The six-eared macaque did not notice the strangeness of Tang Xuanzang at this moment, and only thought that he would soon be able to replace the position of the Monkey King. From then on, the hero lived in the world, and he was very happy, so he spared no effort to corrupt in front of Tang Xuanzang. Image of Monkey King.

"I fought with Liu Er, he took advantage of the danger and hit me with all the power of gods and Buddhas, I was seriously injured—"

Before the six-eared macaque finished speaking, Tang Xuanzang suddenly interrupted.

His eyes fell on a certain point in the air.

The sound is very light.

"Great Sage, you are so powerful, how could you be tricked by that six-eared macaque?"

"It still hurts so badly..."

The tone seemed to be filled with heartache and hatred.

The six-eared macaque heard it in his heart, and couldn't help thinking about it, and became more and more sure that his plan would succeed.

"Because I promised that as long as I have one breath, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest."

"I am fighting against him, not just a mortal can watch."

The voice of the six-eared macaque was low, but it was sincere.

"I was afraid that you would be injured, so I diverted my mind at the last moment and put a protective cover on you."

Tang Xuanzang raised his head slightly,

He recalled the golden mask that inexplicably appeared on his body before.

indeed.

Before, he raised his head to see clearly the result of the fight between the two.

However, the strong wind made him unable to stand still, and his whole body was in pain.

And after the mask appeared, all dangers, all fierce and terrifying, were all isolated from the outside.

But before he could react, the 'Great Sage' was already covered in injuries and fell from the air.

Tang Xuanzang's eye sockets were filled with red bloodshot eyes.

Nodding lightly.

"Yes."

"As long as the Great Sage is alive, he won't let me... get hurt in the slightest."

Taking a deep breath, Tang Xuanzang closed his eyes, trying to calm down his emotions.

He straightened his waist, grabbed the arm of the 'Great Sage' on his body, and within reach, was a sticky bloodstain.

Step by step.

Tang Xuanzang walked with difficulty, but the speed obviously accelerated.

Not a word was spoken along the way.

until he stopped.

It was not the thatched cottage that Sun Wukong built for him.

It was a small mountain courtyard that had been bankrupt for a long time.

After knocking on the door and getting no answer, Tang Xuanzang bowed three times and helped the six-eared macaque into the yard.

Until he was helped to lie down on the bed in the courtyard.

Turn on water from the backyard well and set aside.

The six-eared macaque coughed and wanted to sit up, "Why did you bring me here..."

"Cottages…"

Tang Xuanzang stood three steps away from the six-eared macaque.

The plain white monk robe was stained with mottled blood, making it look messy and embarrassing.

He was watching the six-eared macaque, and spoke in a calm voice.

"The thatched cottage is the home of the Great Sage and I."

The six-eared macaque had realized something was wrong at this time, but still forced a smile and wanted to get up, "Since it's our home, why did you help me here?"

"Because the thatched cottage is the home of the Great Sage and I."

Tang Xuanzang's eyes were red, but he paused every word clearly.

The eyes of the six-eared macaque have changed slightly.

"Tang Xuanzang, you fool, what are you talking about?"

"Aren't I your Great Saint?"

"you are not."

Tang Xuanzang shook his head.

The eyes are full of pride and heartache.

"My great sage will definitely not be you."

"You are a six-eared macaque."

Having said that, there is no room for change.

Even the expression of the six-eared macaque became more and more gloomy.He stared closely at Tang Xuanzang's face and asked, "When did you find out that I'm not?"

Tang Xuanzang did not answer.

He mistook the Great Sage.

But he also found out that he is not the real saint.

Because the six-eared macaque was seriously injured, even though he knew he was not Monkey King, Tang Xuanzang still carried him all the way and sent him to a place where he could rest.

Now that he has done what he should do, he must turn around and find the real Great Sage.

He didn't have any mood or time to continue entangled with the six-eared macaque.

Glancing at him, Tang Xuanzang clasped his palms together and recited Amitabha before turning around and preparing to leave.

next second.

The sound of the six-eared macaque so gloomy that it could drip water came from behind.

"Tang Xuanzang."

"Do you think I will really let you go to Monkey King?"

In other words.

Even if it is tied, he must be tied here.

Tang Xuanzang paused slightly, turned around and looked at the six-eared macaque.

Looking at the shocking mottled wounds on his body, his eyes were bright, and no trace of fear could be seen.

"The Great Sage said that even if he has only one breath left, he will protect me well."

"However, I believed in your bitter tricks and mistook him."

"Whether I am Tang Xuanzang or Jiang Liu'er, as long as I am alive, I will return to the Great Sage."

"Hahahahaha!"

The six-eared macaque laughed loudly, and no longer tried to disguise it. It had the same face as Monkey King, but it was completely different from his resentment and jealousy.

"Don't even think about it!"

"I have waited thousands of years for such an opportunity."

He took a step forward, with uncontrollable enthusiasm in his eyes.

"As long as today is over, I will be the Monkey King."

"Do you know what that means?"

"Once today is over, Monkey King will completely disappear from this world."

"I know the current affairs better than him, and I know how to cater to the world better than him. I should be the Monkey King who is the best in the world!"

Tang Xuanzang shook his head slowly.

The Great Sage never does this.

He is proud because he has never been jealous of anyone.

Even if he loses.

And absolutely not, saying that the other party is not good at all.

Monkey King, Monkey King, always has a straight back, is always upright, and is always able to accept the baptism of the sun, moon and stars in an upright manner.

He is so powerful that people look up to him, but also so powerful that people feel distressed.

This is why Tang Xuanzang finally recognized what was true and what was false.

Monkey King is Monkey King.

Because it is Sun Wukong, he is the Monkey King.

No matter how similar the six-eared macaque is to him, he can even guess people's hearts and perform a seamless play to make the fake one.

He ends up being nothing more than a fake hiding in a dark corner.

In him, forever and ever, he does not have Monkey King's arrogance, nor does he have his bearing.

Similar in appearance, but not in essence.

Tang Xuanzang's eyes were proud and proud, and he clearly understood every word.

"There is only one Monkey King in the sky and on the earth."

"He is Monkey King."

"Not you."

"Do you dare to question me?" The six-eared macaque became angry and approached Tang Xuanzang step by step.

Even if he is seriously injured now, is it still easy to deal with a mere mortal like Tang Xuanzang who has no power to restrain a chicken?

With a fist transformed into a palm, it will hit Tang Xuanzang's face in the next second.

Tang Xuanzang had no time to dodge and habitually closed his eyes.

bang-

Without the pain of being hit by the six-eared macaque, Tang Xuanzang opened his eyes, but what he saw was the familiar and hard golden light covering his body.

And the six-eared macaque.

Already shocked by the backlash of the power left by Monkey King, he fell to the ground.

Lost the blessing of the power of gods and Buddhas.

Plus he was seriously injured.

This time, it was almost a backlash, and his heart was wounded.

Tang Xuanzang stood there in a daze, not looking at the six-eared macaque, all his attention was focused on the protection of the power Sun Wukong left on him at some point.

Eye sockets are red.

His hands trembled slightly.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, didn't stop for half a step, and ran quickly, quickly, towards the place where Monkey King was.

faster.

faster.

Tang Xuanzang tried hard to comfort himself, at least the Great Sage was not injured.

At least I recognized him at the last moment.

At least I can run back in time.

But the uneasiness in his heart was like a prairie fire.

Burning.

Can't help it.

Sweating.

Almost fainted.

Tang Xuanzang seemed not to know.

in the brain center.

There is only one thought.

Great sage.

He never lost his word.

that man.

He once told himself flatly.

"Tang Xuanzang, you remember it for me."

"As long as I have breath, I will keep you safe."

After the chapter where I struggled to use my mobile phone code on the train, I never dared to forget to take the computer charger.
