[Journey to the West] Friendship

"The Jade Emperor's attitude, no matter how I think about it, I feel something is wrong." Duan Xuan said, "Do you remember the earthquake that happened in Daughter Country?"

Tianpeng was stunned.

Lin Mu also suddenly remembered that incident, and suddenly said: "You mean the lightning after the earthquake?"

"Yes." Duan Xuan nodded, "If the Jade Emperor hadn't been looking at you, how could he have known what we said at that time, and answered in a timely manner?"

Canopy was silent.

"You really don't want to go back?" Duan Xuan looked at the canopy and asked, "Even if he knows that he may have difficulties?"

The canopy shook.

The experience of returning to heaven last time is vivid in my mind.

He couldn't find anyone in the Jade Emperor's palace. He searched for breath, and he flew to a very remote palace above the heavenly court, regardless of the heavenly soldiers and generals who blocked him.

But what shocked him was that he actually saw that extremely promiscuous scene in the palace.He will probably never forget the mood at that time. Even now, he sometimes wonders in a daze, did he see it wrong?

……

But the facts cannot be disputed.

Even if he was wrong about those dirty | messy scenes, how should he explain those words that the Jade Emperor said afterwards?

"...I am the Lord of the Heavenly Court, but you want to control the Lord of the Heavenly Court, what do you want to do?"

"...Tianpeng, you are very powerful, you are already stronger than me, what do you think I should do with you?"

"...In the past, you have been relying on your 'strength' to coerce me and make me do things I don't like. Do you know that because of your existence, I have no prestige now?"

"...Tianpeng, I know you are not rebellious now, but what about afterward?"

"...Let's go, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, as long as you are here, I will always be the cowardly Jade Emperor controlled by Marshal Tianpeng."

"...you go...don't come back forever..."

……

Canopy could remember every word the Jade Emperor said clearly, but he didn't want to recall it. Even if he just recalled Qingjiang that day, he would feel a heart-piercing pain in his chest, so he dare not face...

——Marshal Canopy, who has always been invincible and fearless, is an out-and-out loser in this matter.

……

"Take it." Looking at the expression on the canopy, Duan Xuan knew what was hurting in the other party's heart.

Tianpeng was taken aback when he saw the thing in Duan Xuan's hand, then subconsciously raised his head to look at Duan Xuan, his eyes were full of confusion, "What is this?"

"I don't know you anymore?" Duan Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the red line."

"...I know it's the red thread," Canopy said, "I mean...why did you give me this?"

"For the sake of lovers in the world getting married." Duan Xuan said irresponsibly, "Why? Don't you want a good marriage?"

"..." Tianpeng didn't speak, his eyes were full of entanglement as he looked at the red line.

Duan Xuan saw that the canopy was so tangled, so he didn't force it, and took back the hand that was extended, and said, "If you don't want it..."

Duan Xuan's words were interrupted.

To be exact, it was his retracted hand that was pulled.

"Give it to me." Tianpeng reached out and took the red thread from Duan Xuan's hand, took a deep breath, and said, as if he had made up his mind, "I want to go back to Heaven."

"I wish you a smooth journey." Lin Mu, who had been insignificant from the very beginning, spoke suddenly, and handed a package to the canopy along the way.

Looking at Canopy's suspicious eyes, Lin Mu explained spontaneously, "This is your package, and there is a gift from us in it, if you... be good."

The sentence "Okay" instantly poked Tianpeng's heart.

...Why doesn't he want to be good?

"I see." Canopy puffed out his chest, took another deep breath, took the package in Lin Mu's hand, threw it on his shoulder, and said with fists in his arms, "I'll go back to Heaven to see if it's okay. I'll come back to you if there's anything..."

Canopy did not continue to speak.

Because he himself doesn't know what he should do if something happens to Tianting, the most important thing is...he has no idea what will happen to Tianting if something happens.

"Everyone, there will be a time later!" After finishing speaking, Tianpeng clasped his fists at Lin Mu and the others, and turned to Chen Yi specifically to apologize to him.

Chen Yi said that it doesn't matter, anyway, it is enough for him to have four apprentices.

Tianpeng didn't say anything more, and took out the elixir and weapons that the Jade Emperor had given him, and handed them to Duan Xuan, saying that it was to make up for his regret of leaving the team halfway.

This time Duan Xuan did not refuse, because those weapons have different shapes, which are very suitable for Lin Mu to practice and forge skills.

After bidding farewell to the people, the canopy flew up and flew towards the sky. After a while, his figure disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds, and the people on the ground could only look up silently.

……

"Okay, it's time for us to set off." Lin Mu exhaled suddenly and said loudly, "Don't waste any more time! Dare to finish this strange journey of learning!"

Chen Yi didn't say a word, but calmly stepped onto the little donkey.

Duan Xuan looked at Lin Mu's back silently, as if looking at the most precious treasure in the world.

Only Monk Sha responded to Lin Mu very honestly and yelled, which was regarded as a boost to morale.

……

In the original book, the Xitian scripture learning team consisted of four masters and apprentices. Now they have become five masters and apprentices because of the addition of Duan Xuan, and now they have returned to the state of four masters and apprentices because of the canopy's departure.

However, this kind of team adjustment has little effect on them. They still have to eat and drink every day. Those who eat meat eat meat, and those who eat grass eat grass...

In this way, the four masters and apprentices plus a little donkey walked smoothly for more than a month without encountering any monsters, and... the canopy didn't come back for a month.

"You said... did something really happen in the Heavenly Court?" One night, Lin Mu and Duan Xuan sat together on the big desert, back to back, looking up at the sky full of stars, "Not only did the canopy not come down, And our road is too quiet... Could it be because it's winter and all kinds of animals are hibernating?"

It's late autumn now, although Lin Mu and the others are walking in the desert and cannot judge the season from the condition of the trees, counting the days alone, it is almost November now.

"...the animals won't have a hibernation period after they become spirit monsters," Duan Xuan couldn't help but said, "Don't think about strange things, we should use reasonable facts to infer."

"Okay," Lin Mu leaned against Duan Xuan and turned his head, letting Duan Xuan know that he agreed with him, "Then what do you think will happen? What happened to the earthquake a few months ago?"

"I don't know." Duan Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, "But that earthquake must have affected something."

"That's right," Lin Mu said with a sigh, "The Huoyan Mountain was on fire because of that earthquake... The Lord of the Huoyan Mountain was probably burned to death by the fire... The one in the sky was fine before the earthquake, As a result, I suddenly want to break up with Tianpeng, and I don’t believe it when I say it has nothing to do with the earthquake.”

"You forgot to mention one thing." Duan Xuan added, "You vomited blood and passed out for no reason after the earthquake."

Lin Mu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered what time Duan Xuan was talking about.

"Ah, you said that time..." Lin Mu scratched his head, and couldn't help but said, "These two things have nothing to do with each other, right? I'm not stupid. I fainted after the earthquake, I was pissed off by the system... ...Or the interval is too long?"

"Don't be careless." Duan Xuan's tone was very serious, he said, "We still don't know why you fainted... let alone being pissed off by the system, is that mission worse than making you drink your daughter's blood?" Is the task of carrying steamed stuffed buns difficult in the country? If you haven’t fainted in the latter, how can you do the former?”

"...==I really thank you, can you stop mentioning the matter of having a child?" Lin Mu was about to forget about it, but when Duan Xuan said this, he burst into tears again impulse……

"Who do you think this child will be in the future?" Lin Mu was really entangled. He couldn't help touching his stomach and said, "And how should I give birth to this child? It can't be from ...==Is it born there?"

God, don't ruin the three views so much, if it's true, he feels that he can't even look at this child directly.

"I don't know," Duan Xuan said in a helpless tone, "I tried to take out the dragon ball, but my dragon ball seems to grow in your body, and it hurts when you take it... I can't help it. Yes."

"Forget it," Lin Mu said sadly, feeling that there was nothing to love, "The boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge...Let's talk about it later."

Duan Xuan had no choice but to follow Lin Mu's advice.

"By the way, let's continue the topic just now," Duan Xuan regained focus, "Stop lying to yourself, you didn't vomit blood because you were angry that day."

Lin Mu was taken aback, for a moment, he didn't know how to refute...

"Amu, don't you know what happened to your body?" Duan Xuan's voice was a little low, and Lin Mu couldn't see his expression, but he knew... Duan Xuan must be in a bad mood right now .

"...I don't know." After pondering for a long time, Lin Mu said, "Except for the sudden vomiting of blood that made me feel dizzy for a moment, there is nothing wrong with my body, and when I woke up, I didn't feel any pain. There's something wrong..."

"Okay..." Duan Xuan took a deep breath, and then said as if he was comforting Lin Mu and himself, "I know, then we can only prevent problems before they happen."

"Um……"

Lin Mu responded in a low voice and said nothing more.

Suddenly there was only the sound of the wind in the whole world.

The two were sitting here, while Chen Yi and Monk Sha were cuddling up next to the fire.Lin Mu is a monkey now, so he brought his own sweater and wool trousers. Duan Xuan is a dragon, and he lives in the icy deep sea, so the two of them are not afraid of the cold.

No matter how bad Monk Sha was, he was still a heavenly soldier and general, so among the four of them, the only one who was afraid of the cold was Chen Yi.So now every night, Chen Yi has to curl up in Monk Sha's arms to sleep, otherwise Lin Mu and the others are worried that when they wake up the next day, they will find that Chen Yi has been frozen into a zombie...

……

"Ah Xuan." Lin Mu suddenly called out, his eyes were always on Chen Yi and Monk Sha who were snuggling together, even when he was talking to Duan Xuan, he never moved away.

"Huh?" Duan Xuan responded, waiting for Lin Mu's next words.

"I seem to be a little cold." Lin Mu said abruptly.

Duan Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Mu. He saw Lin Mu staring intently at Chen Yi and Monk Sha, and immediately understood what Chen Yi was thinking, and immediately smiled helplessly.

"That's good." Duan Xuan casually pinched a body warming formula and threw it to Lin Mu, making Lin Mu instantly feel comfortable in the hot spring...

But this is obviously not what Lin Mu wants.

"Oh," Lin Mu lowered his head, touched his stomach again, and said, "But your son is still cold."

"..." Duan Xuan glanced at Lin Mu's flat belly... couldn't help feeling embarrassed, "...why is it my son?"

"The one that hatched from your Dragon Ball is not your seed?" Lin Mu sniffed deliberately, and said in a tone that was abandoned by a scumbag, "Do you still want to turn your face and deny the Pearl?"

"..." Duan Xuan felt that he was going to have a headache again, "But this child was born by you."

"That's not necessarily true." Lin Mu said, "Maybe when he is born..."

Lin Mu suddenly stopped, he suddenly felt a biting cold spread from the soles of his feet to his hair.

"Ah...Ah Xuan," Lin Mu's voice trembled a little, making Duan Xuan subconsciously feel that something was wrong, he quickly turned his head to look at Lin Mu, but saw that Lin Mu's eyes were full of fear, and then asked in a trembling voice, "When this child is born...won't it crack your dragon ball?"

Duan Xuan was also taken aback, obviously he had never thought about this question before.

"...Probably not." Duan Xuan pondered for a moment, then said, "The system won't do that."

"You really have confidence in this system." Lin Mu's tone was almost crying.

"Don't worry," Duan Xuan patted Lin Mu's shoulder and comforted him, "I won't die."

Lin Mu turned his head to look at Duan Xuan, thinking that the emperors of all dynasties have been shouted long live, and which one has really lived for 1 years?

"...At least I will never keep you here," Duan Xuan promised in a low voice, "Amu, you are my semicircle... I also cannot do without you."

It wasn't the first time Lin Mu heard this sentence, but this time, he subconsciously felt a burst of... anger that he had never felt before.

"In this case, why did you break up with me again?"

This sentence was blurted out by Lin Mu. After saying it, Lin Mu didn't even realize it, and stared blankly at Duan Xuan.

"Amu..." The corners of Duan Xuan's mouth tightened, he seemed to be holding back something, and after a long pause, he continued, "Don't say stupid things."

"...Oh." Lin Mu lowered his head, casting the sadness in his eyes to the ground.

He didn't understand what was wrong between the two of them.They got along well before, but suddenly one day, Duan Xuan said that he didn't love him, and even proposed to break up...

Although they still returned to the status of good brothers after breaking up, Lin Mu always felt that...something was wrong.

……

"Go to sleep," Duan Xuan patted Lin Mu's head, got up and said, "According to the footsteps, you should be able to reach the Lion and Camel Kingdom tomorrow, and see if you will meet those few people in the original book. Goblins."

Lin Mu silently nodded, didn't say anything more, just silently followed Duan Xuan back to the fire.

At this time, Chen Yi had completely retracted himself into Monk Sha's arms, leaving only his head outside, watching Lin Mu and Duan Xuan come back from a distance.

"What's the matter?" Lin Mu noticed Chen Yi's gaze, pulled himself together, teased Chen Yi with a smile, and said, "The night in the desert is so cold, isn't Lao Sha comfortable in his arms?"

"Hmm..." Chen Yi responded softly, then looked at Lin Mu, and said, "You are so ugly now."

Lin Mu was taken aback.

Chen Yi continued, "Why don't you try crying?"

Lin Mu: "..."

Chen Yi: "At least it looks better than your smile now."

"...==What do little brats know." Lin Mu took out a piece of candy that he bought two days ago from his Qiankun bag, stuffed it into Chen Yi's mouth, and said viciously, "Hurry up and go to bed! Otherwise, the big bad wolf will come to eat you!"

"It doesn't matter," Chen Yi, who was fed, expressed his satisfaction, then shrank himself back, leaving only a pair of eyes outside, and said in a buzzing voice, "Anyway, you will protect me when the big bad wolf comes... "

Lin Mu: "...=="

Chen Yi: "Otherwise, why raise you..."

Lin Mu: "..." Obviously we are the ones raising you, okay?

……

Since Chen Yi had completely retracted himself into Monk Sha's arms, Lin Mu could only go back to his quilt holding his breath, and lay down in anger.

——His quilt is still placed together with Duan Xuan, but he no longer has that warm embrace.

……

sleepless nights.

……

The next day.

Several people packed up and set off on the road, but until dusk, there was no sign of Lion Camel Kingdom.

"This is not normal." Duan Xuan frowned. He speculated that they would enter the Lion Camel Country at about noon, so that they could spend the night in the Lion Camel Country at night.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Lin Mu also frowned, and asked, "If you didn't make a mistake... what would it be?"

Duan Xuan didn't speak, and after a long time, he said: "Put the things down, we'll spend the night here tonight."

"Here?" Lin Mu was startled, and said, "But if you didn't make a mistake, it could only be a monster causing trouble. Do we really want to stay here overnight?"

"There is no other way." Duan Xuan frowned and said, "Looking from here, we can't see the shadow of the lion and camel country at all. Spend the night in this area."

"Then what if we keep going without stopping?" Lin Mu asked, "We can take turns carrying Chen Yi on our backs... When necessary, we can also use spells to make the donkey fly. Anyway, I think it's too much to stay here overnight. It's dangerous."

"It's useless." Duan Xuan shook his head, "He can make us walk for a day without being able to get out of here, and he can make us unable to get out of here for a lifetime. Now it's getting late, we can only survive this night first, and then Think about it tomorrow during the day."

Lin Mu was silent for a moment, and could only say, "Okay, let's keep someone on guard tonight."

"En." Duan Xuan nodded.

……

A few people sat down on a high and flat place in this area, and began to cook dinner.

"Amu, what do you want to eat?" Duan Xuan asked as he picked out the ingredients in the Qiankun bag, first picked out the wild vegetables that Chen Yi could eat, and then waited for Lin Mu to say what he wanted to eat.

"Ah? I'm free, I don't have anything special to eat." Lin Mu scratched his head, the last thing he knew was ordering, so when he went out with Duan Xuan, Duan Xuan usually took care of all the choices, why did he suddenly ask today? remember him?

"Is there anything you want to eat?" Duan Xuan was stunned, then looked up at Lin Mu's stomach, and said in a low voice, "Maybe it's not time yet..."

Lin Mu looked at Duan Xuan blankly, and what Duan Xuan said just now kept circling in Lin Mu's mind. He knew that Duan Xuan put wild vegetables and duck meat on water arrows and roasted them on the fire. when……

Only then did Lin Mu react.

"Damn it! Duan Xuan, explain to me what you mean just now!" Lin Mu's face turned red in an instant, and he could almost bleed.He is not a woman, so naturally he has never thought about what would happen if he became pregnant, but what Duan Xuan just said clearly meant...

"Duan Xuan, I'm going to strangle you to death!" Lin Mu rushed towards Duan Xuan after saying that.

Duan Xuan was taken aback, quickly caught Lin Mu's body, and whispered in Lin Mu's ear with a wicked sense of humor, "Amu, you have to take it easy now, or you will die twice!"

"Order your sister!" Lin Mu struggled to fight Duan Xuan, and Duan Xuan had to keep twisting and twisting with Lin Mu. Pressing it into his arms, he said with a smile, "Stop making trouble, the roast duck is almost done."

Lin Mu groaned and sat up, taking advantage of Duan Xuan's inattention, gave Duan Xuan his stomach with his arm, and then looked at Duan Xuan with a cheap smile, very happy.

Duan Xuan: "..."

A few people finished the barbecue (yes, it’s another barbecue. Since the masters and apprentices got together, their daily recipes have not changed. Part of the reason is that the barbecue is really delicious, and part of the reason is their cooking skills. The skills are not lit... Barbecue is the only delicious food in the wild-compared with raw food.) Then I started to assign work.

Chen Yi's work is relatively simple, just sleeping.

Monk Sha's life is a bit complicated, he has to pay attention to the surrounding situation while sleeping, so as to protect Chen Yi immediately.

Lin Mu and Duan Xuan were in charge of the night watch.

Originally, Duan Xuan wanted Lin Mu to go to sleep, but Lin Mu wanted to watch the night together.

Duan Xuan had no choice but to let him go.

……

Side by side, the two sat quietly on the desert again, looking at the stars in the sky, feeling inexplicably that silence is better than sound at this time.

As night fell, there was a full moon in the dark sky, emitting icy moonlight.

call--

A gust of wind blew over.

--got windy.

The author has something to say:
