Journey to the West: The Ninth Life

In the next two days, Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King got along in a rare harmony.

Although Sun Wukong still seldom speaks, for Tang Xuanzang, being able to clearly feel the change in his attitude is already a pretty good thing for him.

Looking at Monkey King who was walking in front of him, his back was tall, with a golden cudgel on his shoulders, reddish-brown hair fluttering in the wind, and his shadow dragged very long.

He suddenly felt a little satisfied in his heart, and couldn't help standing where he was and laughing softly.

Both mortal Buddhas said that Sun Wukong, Monkey King, was violent and bloodthirsty by nature, and he was worried that something would happen if he accepted him as a disciple, but in his opinion, being able to be Sun Wukong's master was probably the blessing he cultivated in his previous life.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly?" It was not the first time that he felt the gaze of the man behind him on him along the way. Sun Wukong was not used to it, and frowned slightly, with a duplicity and a cold face.

Just when he met Sun Wukong's eyes, Tang Xuanzang suddenly came back to his senses, a little at a loss, he was stunned, then shook his head vigorously, nodded again, and finally raised his head and smiled at Monkey King.

At this moment is the time when the sun is at its strongest at noon.

Although Sun Wukong has a body of steel and iron, he is a little irritable and hot because of the sun above his head.

But Tang Xuanzang looked at him and smiled.

The youngest eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty who attained Taoism actually had a very good life.

With a fair and handsome face, coupled with a clear mind, an indescribable temperament has been precipitated, like white jade that has been warmed for thousands of years.

He looked at himself with such an undefended and totally dependent smile.

Sun Wukong was a little stunned for a moment, and even his heart couldn't help but soften a little.

Cough.

The Monkey King who was so powerful 500 years ago was softened by a silly monk's smile.

Turning his face away, Sun Wukong still had the same unruly and indifferent appearance, with no expression on his face.

"If you're tired from walking, I'll make a somersault cloud, and you'll be miles away."

Tang Xuanzang shook his head vigorously.

"You need to be devout and walk step by step to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. Only after going through ninety-nine and 81 difficulties can you obtain the Mahayana Buddhism. If you use somersaults with the Great Sage, you may be able to reach it in less than a day. If your heart is not sincere, how can you achieve it?" How about a successful cultivation?"

"I know, I know." Sun Wukong turned around and walked to the front, without looking at Tang Xuanzang, he waved his hand, "I just said it, you can go if you want."

Seeing Sun Wukong being persuaded by himself, Tang Xuanzang couldn't help laughing, but before he could laugh out loud, Monkey King turned his head again, and took the luggage in his hand as if nothing had happened.

Xuanzang was stunned.

Before he could speak, Sun Wukong seemed to be a little impatient and had already spoken first.

"Let's go."

After all, he stopped looking at Tang Xuanzang and walked ahead of himself, as if nothing happened.

Tang Xuanzang, who was behind him, had no luggage on him, and it was indeed a lot easier in an instant, and the speed of the two of them was also much faster.

Speechless all the way.

Tang Xuanzang hurried on his way, but naturally he didn't notice it.

For some reason, the bumpy road down the mountain seemed to have become much smoother.

Monkey King walked in front, his index finger moved slightly, and the magic power was continuously displayed. The Monkey King who once swept the six worlds couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling at this moment.

Use power to pave the mountain road.

After staying with this stupid monk for a long time, I actually started to become stupid.

Some want to laugh.

Habitually, he stretched out his hand to support the luggage, but unexpectedly, he touched a hard round object inside.

Monkey King's movements froze for a moment, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't say much. The emotions in his eyes were fleeting, and soon he returned to his usual appearance, as if nothing had happened.

Not noticing the change in Monkey King's expression, Tang Xuanzang's eyes lit up when he saw a stream in front of him, and he grabbed Monkey King's arm to get some water to drink.

Containers for water are placed in luggage.

Sun Wukong paused for two seconds, smiled softly, and handed the luggage he was carrying to Tang Xuanzang again.

The moment he took it, as if unintentionally, his right hand moved slightly, the package was scattered on the ground, and everything fell out.

Tang Xuanzang naturally didn't pay attention to these things, his first reaction was to squat down to pick them up, and before he packed them up, he heard Monkey King's voice from above his head.

His eyes were calm, as if he was asking if the weather is good today.

"what is this?"

Tang Xuanzang raised his head habitually, and when his eyes fell on the things he held in his hands, the young and dignified eminent monk in the eyes of others couldn't help but tremble all over his body.

golden hoop.

A golden hoop given by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Confused for a while.

Or, he didn't think about it for a while, how to introduce this golden hoop to Monkey King.

Compared with Tang Xuanzang's entanglement and hesitation, Sun Wukong was quite calm, even a little abnormal.

He raised his eyebrows, glanced at the golden hoop in his hand with interest, then looked at Tang Xuanzang, smiled softly and asked, "I heard that there is a golden hoop in the Buddha's place. The above person has a terrible headache, but this one?"

A moment of silence.

Tang Xuanzang finally nodded.

"Exactly this."

Sun Wukong nodded, and asked him nonchalantly, "This is given to you by Guanyin Bodhisattva, do you know the mantra?"

Silence again.

Tang Xuanzang nodded again.

This time he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, after seeing Monkey King's movements, his pupils almost shrank together.

It's like doing an extremely ordinary thing.

After Sun Wukong took the golden hoop in his hand and played with it for a while, he was actually very interested and put it on his head directly.

"My lord, you—"

"What's wrong?" Stretching out his hand to touch the golden hoop that suddenly appeared on his head, Sun Wukong's eyes were dark, but his expression remained the same as before. He raised his eyebrows, turned around and continued walking.

"I just want to try what it feels like to wear this baby Buddha on my head."

"Since it's a treasure, then give it to my grandson."

When Sun Wukong spoke, he was smiling.

He knew exactly what the golden hoop that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva gave to Jiang Liuer meant.

With this, I have to go back to the night two days ago.

Tang Xuanzang slept soundly.

Sun Wukong sat on a tall tree as usual, half leaning on the branches, with his eyes closed.

"Goku."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva suddenly appeared in mid-air, sitting on a lotus platform, holding a willow bottle, looking majestic and holy.

Sun Wukong slowly opened his eyes, not surprised at all, but rubbed his eyes, and after stretching for a while, he yawned and opened his mouth.

"What is Tathagata's plan for you to tell me?"

In the whole world, Monkey King, Monkey King, has never put anyone in his eyes.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva didn't care much about his attitude, but a look of compassion flashed in the depths of his eyes, he shook his head slightly, and spoke in a deep voice.

"The Buddha ordered you to wear a golden hoop to protect the golden cicada all the way west."

"Golden hoop?"

Sun Wukong squinted his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked at Avalokitesvara with a half-smile.

"If I remember correctly, Tathagata has a golden hoop that can cause headaches and be unbearable when chanting a mantra, and it will never be taken off forever."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is expressionless and aloof.

"I have given the golden hoop to Jin Chanzi, and I have also handed over the spell to him. What you need to do now is to put on the golden hoop willingly, without any struggle."

Monkey King glanced at Tang Xuanzang who was sleeping soundly below, shook his head, looked up and laughed.

His eyes were sharp and dangerous, and he looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva without any concealment.

"What if I don't wear it?"

Wearing this golden hoop means that Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, will be constrained and restrained from now on, and from now on, he will be restricted and disciplined by the old man Tathagata.

free.

If you wear it, what you lose is freedom.

"The golden cicada's ten lifetimes of penance will be ruined, and he will also die on this westward journey."

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not speak, another voice descended from the sky, thick and majestic.

Sun Wukong's pupils constricted suddenly, and he stared deeply at the visitor.

"The Tathagata."

With a sneer, Sun Wukong clapped his hands self-consciously, "The Tathagata Buddha came here in person, I am really honored!"

Tathagata stood high above, clasped his hands together, "Sun Wukong, the fate of the golden cicada is in your hands."

In his life, Monkey King hated being threatened the most.

However, all of his few experiences were caused by Tathagata Buddha.

The last time he re-entered reincarnation for Jiang Liu'er, he knelt on the Zhuxian Terrace and was cut into pieces.

And this time.

golden hoop.

Sun Wukong's energy spread out, and the strong wind blew up gravel and gravel, which made people's faces hurt.

"Old Tathagata, don't think that I'm really afraid of you!"

Faced with the threat of Monkey King, Tathagata was quite calm.

In other words, as the lord of bliss in the Western Paradise, he has never encountered anything out of his control in the past thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Monkey King is his thorn in the flesh.

But he has weaknesses.

"Sun Wukong, if you transcend the five elements and the six realms, you must be bound by the destiny. If you wear the golden hoop, you will be able to truly accompany Jin Chanzi on his westward journey to learn scriptures."

"If you refuse, then all the karma on your body will be transferred to Jin Chanzi."

The Buddha clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name compassionately, "You are made of steel and iron, and he is a mortal body. Can you protect him for a while, or for a lifetime?"

Sun Wukong took a deep breath, and the momentum around him did not decrease at all, and he was vaguely about to fight against the Buddha.

"Sun Wukong."

"You must not be stubborn."

"Jin Chanzi has practiced for ten lives, all in order to obtain Mahayana Buddhism, to achieve the right result, and to become a Buddha immediately."

"Because of your own selfishness, do you want him to bear all the karma, fall into the endless hell, and be tortured by the raging fire?"

Hearing this sentence, Sun Wukong's mood suddenly calmed down.

Most of his body was leaning against the branch, with his hands resting behind his head, and he raised his head to look at the Tathagata Buddha.

"You are afraid of me."

"Old Tathagata, you pressed me under the Five Elements Mountain twice for a total of 1000 years. You, the Lord of Paradise in the Western Paradise, are actually afraid of me."

He wasn't asking.

It's a statement of fact.

The Tathagata Buddha sat on the Dharma seat aloft, as if he hadn't heard what Sun Wukong said at all.

"Jin Chanzi will put the golden hoop on for you."

"If you refuse."

"Then all the karmic sins will be borne by Jin Chanzi."

After all, Tathagata and Guanyin were surrounded by golden light and gradually disappeared into such a deep night.

But Monkey King, sitting on a high branch, looked at Tang Xuanzang who was sleeping below, and let out a low, inaudible sigh.

sleepless nights.

Sun Wukong has been waiting for Tang Xuanzang to speak for the past two days.

This silly monk.

The old man who regards Tathagata and Guanyin Bodhisattva as his faith worships him all day long, and what they say is naturally extremely respectful to him, like a decree.

But this golden hoop.

It was placed on the bottom layer of luggage by Tang Xuanzang, as if it had been completely forgotten.

Monkey King can't wait.

Simply put it on by yourself.

shook his head.

The sun above his head was so strong that it was too dazzling to open his eyes.

Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and touched the extra gold hoop on his head, his eyes were deep and dark, but he was extremely calm.

Calm, because it has been decided long ago.

He grinned.

Thousands of years.

He has lived for so long, so he is very clear in his heart.

What matters and what doesn't.

Such a stupid monk, in his previous life, he wanted to go to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures, but he blocked Erlang God for himself, but he didn't make it.

this life.

I owe him.

Shrugging his shoulders, with the golden cudgel on his shoulders, he turned his head to look at Tang Xuanzang as if nothing had happened.

"Let's go, I'll go down the mountain and I'll make alms for you."

Hearing his words, Tang Xuanzang stood still, his eyes flushed slightly.

Noticing his expression, Monkey King stopped in his tracks, frowning in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xuanzang shook his head vigorously and smiled at Monkey King.

"It's okay, my lord, I'm fine."

It wasn't until Monkey King turned around and walked in front that Tang Xuanzang hurriedly reached out to wipe his face, took a deep breath, and tried to pull out a smiling face that could be regarded as a smiling face.

The young and handsome monk walked behind Monkey King, but his eyes fell on the golden hoop on his head for a long time.

Tang Xuanzang laughed.

The Great Sage is really kind to him.

Fortunately, he was also worthy of the great sage's kindness to him.

That night, when Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared with Tathagata Buddha, he actually did not fall asleep.

It starts from Guanyin Bodhisattva persuading Sun Wukong to wear a golden hoop, and ends with Tathagata Buddha using him as a threat.

Tang Xuanzang knew why the Tathagata Buddha insisted that the great sage wear a golden hoop.

500 years ago, he made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and his magic power was astonishingly high, almost unstoppable.

It is precisely because of this that even after he was suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, he is still worrying.

He felt a little sad for the Great Sage, but he also became more determined to go to the Western Paradise to obtain the Mahayana scriptures.

Once the scriptures are obtained, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is no longer a monster or a demon, but can become a Buddha immediately, enjoying the worship of thousands of people, and countless incense.

As for the hoop...

Although I don't know why the Tathagata Buddha threatened himself, Tang Xuanzang was vaguely reluctant to let Sun Wukong wear the golden hoop.

in his subconscious.

That proud and powerful Monkey King should never be restrained like this.

His eyes fell on the golden hoop on Sun Wukong's head. Tang Xuanzang stretched his hand into his arms. After touching a golden hoop of the same shape, he exhaled lightly and smiled slightly.

The one Sun Wukong wears on his head.

He was the one who took advantage of the money he had on his body when he was going to beg for alms, and went to beat the fake ones exactly like the people in the blacksmith shop.

Honestly.

Tang Xuanzang never thought that there would be a day when he would deceive the Buddha.

But if he was really allowed to watch Sun Wukong, the majestic Monkey King, put on a golden hoop, he would be bound and unable to escape from then on.

Dull heartache.

Can not accept.

Tang Xuanzang took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and looked devoutly in his eyes.

Buddha.

Forgive the disciple for deceiving.

You think I am the weakness of the Great Sage.

But I want to be his armor.
