[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

"Get a new one?" The monkey paused for a while, then smiled and said, "That's fine. When you're free someday, make me a new one."

"Just open your mouth, but you really don't see it." Ben Xianjun sarcastically returned.

The monkey was not annoyed, and asked, "Did you find anything after you came here?"

Ben Xianjun said: "I didn't get much, just a little eyebrow. I have seen the corpses of the deceased. Most of them are young women in their twenties and eight years. What a pity."

The monkey nodded in understanding and didn't say anything more.

The two of us walked all the way to Jishan, the wind and rain were getting heavier, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

The wind blew so that the signs in front of the roadside shops swayed, and some trees even had their branches broken, but the paper umbrella in the monkey's hand remained motionless, covering the world and isolating the wind and rain.

Thirty miles does not seem to be far away, if you are driving through the fog, it will only take you a breath, but if you walk step by step like this fairy, it will still take some time.

Ben Xianjun remembered that thousands of years ago, the monkey followed the golden cicada to learn scriptures in the west.At that time, he was able to turn to the west sky with a somersault cloud, but he had to accompany Jin Chan through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, step by step, and it took 81 years to reach the foot of Lingshan.

I would like to ask, if the monkey accompanied me to Mount Dishan today, I wonder if he has thought of the days when he accompanied the golden cicada to learn Buddhist scriptures.But I know in my heart that one is Jin Chan and the other is me, and they are incomparable at first. If I really ask, it will seem that this fairy is not sensible like a child.

Maybe it was because of the cloudy and rainy weather, this fairy suddenly felt a little plain sad in his heart.

Lei Gong's aim of flashing the flash was not very good, but the rain god's aim of cloth rain was very well grasped.

A whole group of dark clouds, not too big or too small, could cover the entire city of Fuyang.Therefore, when the monkey and I stepped out of the city gate of Fuyang, the dark clouds above our heads cleared and the sun was shining brightly.

The monkey put away the umbrella, shook off the rain on the umbrella, carefully folded it up and put it in a bag.

Ben Xianjun looked back, and saw a three-foot-high bluestone city wall separating two worlds—the torrential rain inside the city, and the bright sun outside the city, which is really strange.

After leaving the city, I walked the official road for more than ten miles and came across a fork in the road.

Going forward is a broad bluestone road, with a narrow path on the left and right.

The monkey stopped and asked, "Which way?"

"Wait a minute, let me take a look." Ben Xianjun fumbled in his sleeve, took out a sheepskin map that Miaozhu gave me, first determined the position of Mount Di, and then found the monkey and my current position to compare He nodded, and said: "The picture says... you should take the right one."

"Huh?" The monkey took a step back, then turned back suddenly.Ben Xianjun was about to put away the map, he pressed my hand, glanced at the map, and let out a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Ben Xianjun asked.

"I knew I couldn't trust you." The monkey smiled, and walked to the left, leaving a light sentence, "You held the map upside down."

"..." Ben Xianjun looked down, and it was true.

"Uh ha ha, ha ha, accident, it was just an accident." I followed up two steps, and explained: "This picture...is pierced through the back of the paper, and the color of the ink on both sides is the same dark, I just didn't see it clearly."

"Oh." The monkey said casually, glanced at me, and smiled even wider.

Ben Xianjun blushed, quietly put away the map, and silently rolled his eyes at the monkey.

This fairy not only doesn't distinguish between "pros and cons", but occasionally "left and right". Anyway, this is not the first time that he has taken the wrong path. Anyone who likes to laugh can just laugh.This fairy has lived for thousands of years, and when he is old, he can see it, so he doesn't care about it.

However, the country roads are no easier to walk than the wide official roads. The roads are full of potholes, and I also stumble when I walk.It was nothing at first, but this fairy fell from the sky before, and was hit by a young boy later, which affected the old injury in his waist, and when he ran down, the dull pain in his lower back became more and more intense.

The monkey seemed to notice that the fairy was walking slower than before, so he consciously slowed down and said, "What's wrong?"

"My waist hurts a bit." Ben Xianjun said bluntly, and smiled wryly: "I'm afraid it's an old problem."

"Yes, let me see." The monkey frowned and stopped.He walked up behind the fairy, and pressed his right hand on the waist of the fairy through the clothes, "Here?"

"..." The monkey probably gathered some spiritual power in the palm, otherwise it wouldn't be so hot, and the fabric could still burn the fairy's back for a while.I trembled almost imperceptibly, my cheeks were hot, I shook my head and said, "No...not there..."

The monkey moved its hand an inch to the right, raised its index finger and middle finger, and poked me gently on the side of the fairy's waist, and asked softly, "Then... is this place? Does it hurt here?"

"..." Ben Xianjun shivered a little, his ears began to burn, and he lowered his head and whispered: "It doesn't...it doesn't hurt, it's just..."

"What is it?" Monkey's tone sounded extremely worried.

"It's just..." Ben Xianjun said: "It's just that you poked it a bit itchy..."

"Uh..." Monkey was stunned for a moment, but he let out a sigh of relief.He moved his hand to the left again, and poked lightly as well.

"Ow—"

Ben Xianjun let out a howl, almost tearing up in pain, and shouted tremblingly: "That's...that's right here, ouch! It hurts, hurts! I said... you should be gentle."

"It's light enough." The monkey's voice was a little aggrieved. He gently rubbed the affected area for the fairy, and said: "No bones were hurt, just the muscles were torn."

"Ah... So, it's not a relapse of the old injury?" Ben Xianjun was overjoyed and said, "It's great, if the waist is broken so early, what can we do in the future?"

The monkey said "huh?" with great interest.

Talking about waist strength with monkeys does not have a good effect.Ben Xianjun pursed his mouth and stopped.

The monkey patiently massaged the fairy for a while, "Is it better now?"

"It's much better." Ben Xianjun moved, and found that the pain was really gone, so he smiled shyly: "Oh, thank you so much! Big..."

Monkey looked at me with a smile, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, "Big...big what?"

"Long... long stay..." Facing the monkey's gaze, the corners of the fairy's mouth froze, and his smile suddenly lost confidence. He responded with two "hehe" and said, "Let's go, it's getting late..."

Ben Xianjun walked forward sullenly, without looking at the monkey's expression, and left him far behind.The monkey followed unhurriedly, keeping a distance of three feet from me, and was not left behind.

After walking for more than ten miles, I finally saw Dishan.

It was a poorer mountain than the West Mountain of the Immortal Lord. Although it was extremely high, and the halfway up the mountain was covered with clouds, the whole mountain really didn't even have a single flower or plant, and it was very barren.

Although there is no vegetation on the mountain, there are many streams and springs, and they are all running water.I don't know where the water source is. All the streams show a flow from top to bottom, gurgling and crystal clear.

Ben Xianjun squatted down by a small stream, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to grab a handful of water.

Firstly, to check the water quality, to find out whether the strange incident on Mount Zhishan is related to this water, and secondly, after walking for too long, I am a little thirsty.

The moment Ben Xianjun put his hands into the water, he felt a bone-chilling chill spread all over his body in an instant along the finger bones, as if countless tiny knives were scraping people's flesh and bones.Without mana to protect the body, this fairy couldn't bear the pain, "Ah—" he let out a soft cry, and hurriedly pulled his hand back.In just a moment, the fairy's fingertips were already red with cold, and he lost consciousness.

"This water is weird." Ben Xianjun shivered from the cold, put his hand to his mouth, and breathed out to keep warm.

The monkey stood on the shore, narrowed its eyes slightly, raised its chin not far away, and said, "Huanxi, look there."
