Journey to the West: The Ninth Life

I bet you like it.

But when did I tell you that you don't like it?

Sun Wukong's voice was sharp and piercing, like a blade covered in frost and mist. He was angry, but he couldn't conceal the worry and deep love hidden in it.

Tang Xuanzang suddenly stopped breathing.

He almost didn't dare to look directly into those black golden eyes.

Monkey King saw all the changes in his expression, so how could he get what he wanted?

"Tang Xuanzang, look into my eyes."

He stepped forward step by step, forcing Tang Xuanzang to the corner step by step, until he couldn't retreat, he squinted his eyes and stopped.

Sun Wukong's aura is too strong.

Powerful enough to be overlooked, full of aggression and possessiveness.

And the anger in it.

Tang Xuanzang felt uncontrollable difficulty almost breathing, trying to calm himself down, forced a laugh, and pretended to be nonchalant.

"My lord, why are you here?"

The tone was relaxed, as if seeing an old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Sun Wukong was almost laughed out of anger.

Committed in anger.

He grabbed Tang Xuanzang's jaw and forced him to look at him with a cold voice.

"I was married to me last night, and today I left without saying goodbye. You actually asked me why I came?"

"Am I also qualified to ask how you left?"

His face was instantly pale as paper.

Tang Xuanzang touched the icy wall with his hands, the tentacles were cold, his consciousness became a little clearer, he took a few deep breaths, and forced a laugh.

"Didn't I already tell you clearly?"

"I'm going to get the Western Classic, that's the right path I'm going to take."

"I'm with you, we—"

"Is it true that the way is different and there is no conspiracy?"

Before Tang Xuanzang could finish speaking, Monkey King had already opened his mouth sarcastically and interrupted him.

A little impatient, and a little uncontrollable anger.

"Tathagata or Avalokitesvara, what did they tell you?"

"Nothing to say."

Tang Xuanzang took a deep breath, turned around straight, met Sun Wukong's eyes, clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and recited Amitabha.

"Xuanzang is a disciple of Buddhism. He was not strong-willed before and almost went astray. Now that he has awakened, he should naturally go back to the right path, go to the west to learn scriptures, and take it as his mission to save all living beings."

"As for you."

The hands under the robe were tightly clenched into fists, trembling uncontrollably, but the expression on his face was indifferent and rational.

"You...you are the biggest source of demons in me."

"If you want to become a Buddha immediately, you must completely... completely cut off the connection with you."

"The poor monk went to the west to learn scriptures, and his disciples guarded him. Since then..."

He took a deep breath, his eyes were so bitter, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue speaking word by word.

"From now on, I will sever the master-student relationship with you, and there will be no more melons."

Hahaha.

Sun Wukong shook his head and laughed.

Even if he knew that Tang Xuanzang had some unspeakable secrets and made some sacrifices for him, he couldn't control his anger at this moment.

He frowned slightly.

Staring deeply into Tang Xuanzang's eyes.

"You say it again."

"Tang Xuanzang, you dare to say it again."

"I said that from now on, we will sever relations and have nothing to do with each other—"

"it is good."

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, nodded slowly, squinted his eyes and looked at Tang Xuanzang, as if he was extremely angry, but also as if he was extremely disappointed in him.

"From now on, I wish you a smooth journey to learn the scriptures, and you will become a Buddha on the spot as soon as possible."

After all, he didn't turn his head back, as if he came here quietly, melting into such a dark and deep night, he couldn't see his figure.

Tang Xuanzang did not move for a long time.

Ignored that there was a canopy standing in the room.

For a long time, there was no movement.

"Master."

In such a silent, almost sad night, even the voice from the canopy unconsciously appeared a little indescribably deep and hoarse.

He looked at Tang Xuanzang's blurry side face shrouded in shadows from a distance, and after a long silence, he suddenly smiled softly.

"I have been away from Heaven for thousands of years."

The canopy leaned against the stone pillar and spoke slowly, with a calm voice, not as if he was talking to Tang Xuanzang, but more like talking to himself.

"It's been thousands of years, and I haven't seen Chang'e again."

With a face like a pig's head, the appearance of the canopy at this moment may be ridiculous and frightening to ordinary people, but for some reason, whether it is because of the atmosphere tonight or other reasons, his appearance , It was actually a bit of sadness and uncontrollable pain.

Tang Xuanzang slowly turned his head to look at the canopy, did not speak, and watched him quietly, as if waiting for him to continue to finish the following words.

"The Great Sage once asked me, at the last moment, when I knelt on the Zhuxian Terrace and was beaten into the animal realm, did I see Chang'e?"

Canopy raised his head, looking at the unreachable cold moonlight through the tattered casement.

"I didn't get to see her for the last time."

Tianpeng smiled softly, and finally turned his head to meet Tang Xuanzang's gaze.

"Master, if you were me back then, would you have chosen the same as me?"

how to choose?

Tang Xuanzang pursed his lips and nodded silently.

In the white mist environment, he and the Great Sage saw the past of Canopy and Chang'e thousands of years ago, and saw with his own eyes every time he struggled with choices.

no doubt.

If it were Tang Xuanzang, the choice he made would definitely be exactly the same as the canopy.

Choose sacrifice, choose silence, choose to bury everything in your heart, and let the other person be safe and sound.

Shaking his head, he smiled softly.

Tianpeng obviously knew what Tang Xuanzang's answer was.

He raised his head and looked directly into Tang Xuanzang's eyes. The canopy was smiling, but his eyes were full of sadness.

"Then do you know how he would choose if that person was the Great Sage?"

Tang Xuanzang froze all over and stood there, silent for a while, unable to speak.

If it is a great sage.

If it was that proud and powerful man who had been arrogant all his life, if it was him, how would he choose?

"The Great Sage said I was stupid."

"If I can make a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace like him, and bring Chang'e out of the prison, I can finally ask her an answer."

"Will everything be different?"

Canopy raised his head, looking at the moonlight and talking to himself.

"At first I thought the Great Sage was too impulsive."

"Everything he does is like a javelin. He never knows how to turn around, and he will never cover up or hesitate."

Tang Xuanzang stared blankly.

He had already vaguely guessed in his heart what Tianpeng wanted to say after saying so much, but subconsciously, he was a little afraid to think about it.

"I've often regretted it over the years."

"If I had been able to make a choice like the Great Sage back then, be crazy once, or simply follow my heart once, would all of this be different."

He raised his head and met Tang Xuanzang's eyes.

"Master."

"When I was Marshal Tianpeng, I always looked down on the legendary Monkey King."

"But now I'm more and more aware..." With a light exhale, Canopy's eyes were frank, but there was a hint of sadness and depression.

"The strength of a person lies in his daring to undertake, not his daring to sacrifice."

"I don't know why you want to push the Great Sage away in the end."

Tianpeng took a deep look at Tang Xuanzang, turned around to leave, stopped when he reached the door, turned his back to him, sighed and opened his mouth slowly.

"Master."

"Maybe you think you're doing the right thing."

"But have you ever thought about it?"

"Perhaps letting the Great Sage accompany you to bear the burden, the final result will be better?"

Canopy turned his back to Tang Xuanzang, couldn't see his expression, didn't hear any movement behind him for a long time, sighed and took a step to leave.

In the next second, Tang Xuanzang's voice sounded from behind.

"I want to protect the Great Sage for once."

Tang Xuanzang was dressed in a white robe, his body was thin, and his face was so pale that no trace of blood could be seen, but he gritted his teeth and stood upright.

"exactly."

He smiled softly, as if thinking of Monkey King's face, his eyes lit up a little.

"How lucky I am to have the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to accompany me for two lifetimes."

"He is the most powerful and proud person in this world." When Tang Xuanzang talked about Sun Wukong, almost the corners of his eyes and brows were shining.

"His love is love, and his hate is hate."

Tang Xuanzang's eyes were filled with tears, but the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised.

"His feelings are more precious than anyone else's."

"But it is precisely because of this that I can't let him lose his only home in this world after he is destined to lose me."

Having said that, Tianpeng is not a fool, and naturally understands Tang Xuanzang's meaning.

His expression was slightly stern, and there was a little fear in the depths of his eyes.

"You mean Huaguo Mountain?"

Has the matter become so serious?

Tang Xuanzang didn't answer Tianpeng's question, instead he took a breath, suppressed the pain forcibly, put on a calm expression, turned around and prepared to leave.

There was worry and anxiety in Tianpeng's eyes, and he couldn't help but call out to stop him.

"But you should tell the Great Sage the whole story, maybe there will be a better solution?"

Tang Xuanzang's footsteps were slightly stagnant.

"The great sage and the Buddha, who is stronger and who is weaker?"

Hearing Tang Xuanzang's question, Tianpeng's throat was dry, and it took him a while to answer.

"I heard that the second time the Great Sage made a disturbance in the Heavenly Palace. Although he was captured without a fight, the Buddha suffered internal injuries, which have not healed for thousands of years."

"But even if the mana is overwhelming... Even if the mana is overwhelming..."

"How can the Great Sage alone be worth the entire West Heaven?"

"If the Buddha ordered people to level Huaguo Mountain, what would the Great Sage do?" Tang Xuanzang asked the second question with his back to the canopy.

Canopy frowned.

It's almost a no-brainer.

With the temper of the great sage, even if he stirs up chaos in the world and dies, he will go to the Western Paradise himself, go to the Tathagata Buddha, and ask for an explanation.

Without waiting for his answer.

Tang Xuanzang chuckled and asked the third question again.

"What if Huaguo Mountain is overturned, I die, and the Great Sage is left alone in this world?"

Tang Xuanzang closed his eyes slowly, breathing hard, but every word he uttered seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times.

"I'm not afraid of death."

"I'm just afraid that if I die, he will be tired and lose everything."

"He has so little."

"Too little..."

Having said that, the canopy is almost complete, and there is nothing to say.

His original intention was to persuade Tang Xuanzang, but in the end, even himself felt a dull pain in his heart.

He stood on the spot, silently looking at Tang Xuanzang's thin and thin back, and the figure of the great sage leaving silently just now appeared in his mind.

Obviously two people who love each other so much.

what.

can be forced to such an extent.

Love so hard?

The canopy left, Tang Xuanzang was still standing there, his feet were cold, numb as if he had completely lost consciousness and could not move.

cough.

At the beginning, it was a slight cough, but in the end, it was almost heart-piercing, and I wanted to cough up all the internal organs.

Spread your palms.

There were bloodstains faintly.

Tang Xuanzang stared blankly at the blood stains on his palm, and in a daze, what came to mind was the familiar face of Monkey King.

Dasheng has a bad temper.

The last time I saw him was bleeding and roaring furiously.

If he sees her like this again.

I'm afraid I'm going to get angry again.

Tang Xuanzang laughed softly, squatted down slowly, leaned against the corner of the wall, hugged his knees, like a lost child, and slowly buried his face in his knees.

How did he forget.

It was him just now.

Drive the Great Sage away with his own hands.

He won't be coming back.

How could he get angry at himself again?

----

----

Tang Xuanzang was on the verge of a emotional breakdown that day, so naturally he didn't notice it.

Outside the door of the ruined temple, there was a figure, long and silent, watching him.

His eyes were dark and full of emotions.

Until I watched him cough and vomit blood, and saw the shocking marks on his palm.

Those black-gold eyes had some undetectable fluctuations just now.

He frowned.

With anger.

"My lord, you—"

Canopy didn't know when it also appeared next to this figure, and hesitated to speak.

"Did you hear it all?" Heard... our conversation just now.

Monkey King didn't speak, but that expression was obviously acquiescing.

Tang Xuanzang thought that a few words would make him angry and leave, but they were all married, he loved him and believed in him, and protected him for two whole lives, how could he be fooled by his clumsy acting skills?

Letting the canopy stay is to ask Tang Xuanzang's concerns.

In the end, the so-called reason was actually for Huaguo Mountain.

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became sharper and colder.

Tathagata Buddha is really good at calculating.

There are only two things in his life that he cares about the most.

One is Tang Xuanzang, and the other is Huaguo Mountain.

On the one hand, there was an awe-inspiring killing intent, on the other hand, he was uncontrollably angry and soft-hearted.

Stupid stupid monk.

It is much more courageous to make such a foolish decision without authorization than before.

Shaking his head, he glanced at the canopy, and slowly ordered.

"He's coughing up blood, go in and have a look."

Canopy nodded, and was about to go in, but his footsteps stopped slightly, and he couldn't help but look worried at Monkey King.

"Great Sage, what are you going to do now... now?"

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows.

In such a deep night, those black and golden eyes were so bright and sharp that people couldn't move their eyes away.

He patted Canopy on the shoulder, his voice flat.

"Of course I won't follow Tathagata's wishes."

"As for the fool Tang Xuanzang."

Sun Wukong's tone couldn't help but feel a little softer, he sighed, and shook his head slowly.

"How can I rest assured that he will go to the Western Paradise alone to learn Buddhist scriptures?"

Canopy was obviously taken aback, and after looking at Sun Wukong, he couldn't help but shook his head and wanted to laugh.

How did he forget.

The man standing in front of him is none other than Sun Wukong, Monkey King.

No matter how difficult and difficult the situation was in front of him, it seemed that it could always be resolved.

And the only thing they outsiders can choose is to trust him firmly, and that's enough.

The six-eared macaque had a very nourishing and happy day today.

Even if there are wounds on the body.

Completely replaced Monkey King, how could he be unhappy?

As long as he thought of the loneliness and loss in Sun Wukong's eyes when he finally left, he felt that all the cells in his body seemed to be opened up, heartily.

A bonfire was lit in front of them.

After choosing a comfortable way to lean against the wall of the cave, and ordered Sha Wujing, who seemed extremely boring and taciturn, to find food for him in the distance, the six-eared macaque crossed its legs and prepared to take a nap.

He was vaguely about to fall asleep.

There was wind blowing by my ears.

turned over.

Suddenly realized something was wrong.

When the six-eared macaque opened its eyes again, its pupils widened almost instantly, and it was about to shout.

The person opposite did not give him the slightest chance to shout.

Or.

He didn't want him to live at all.

The dark and distant night.

Occasionally there are a few calls of beasts and birdsong.

The huge valley seems to be able to continue to bury everything.

The firewood burned in the campfire, making a crackling sound.

Not long after, a figure came out of the cave.

As if sleeping for too long, the man slowly stretched his body and stretched his waist.

Six-eared macaque?

No, no.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and the sharp light in his black golden eyes flashed away.

He has given him numerous chances.

Arrived now.

How could he let the six-eared macaque continue to live?

There was the sound of footsteps clattering on the branches in the distance.

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, looked at the person coming, and changed his expression almost instantly, leaning lazily on the wall of the cave, stretching out his hand to warm the fire.

Without looking up, arrogant, arrogant, provocative.

Just like what the six-eared macaque showed before.

Sha Wujing's eyes were filled with anger.

Naturally, he was also the first to be with Tianpeng, and he recognized that the person in front of him was not a great sage.

in his heart.

In this world, who can really replace the Great Sage?

However, before he found out the truth of the matter, he had to lower his eyebrows and pretend that he hadn't noticed anything.

He put the fruit in his hand on the ground and took a look at the 'six-eared macaque'.

"Eat."

Monkey King slowly hooked his lips.

He narrowed his eyes, showing no sign of being polite.

He even yawned while eating.

His eyes fell on Sha Wujing's face, and he spoke without hesitation.

"Who is that?"

"Go get me some wine."

"I want to drink beer."
