[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

The monkey said, if he knew that I gave away the peaches, he would definitely come back and beat me!

Whether in the Immortal Realm or in the Ten Directions Illusion, when will he let go of such "ruthless words" to me?What's more, I gave Jinchan Taozi as a gift to save people, what's wrong with me?

Shocked by the monkey's words, I felt aggrieved immediately, curled my mouth, with tears in my eyes, stared blankly at him, and my mind was full of the appearance of the monkey beating my ass fatly with a golden cudgel.Just thinking about it hurts!

When the series of fantasies in my mind finally came to an end, the monkey and the golden cicada had already left.There is a saying "Stand tall and see far", I tried my best to straighten my waist, widened my eyes, and looked at the winding path leading to the exit of the valley. There were only a series of footprints on the road, and there were no more figures of them, let alone poems and distant places. .

"Brother Chang...Changliu brother...don't go..." The tears that had been pent up in my eyes for a long time finally couldn't hold anymore, I squatted on the ground and cried loudly.

It wasn't until the monkey's bright red clothes disappeared into the sky that I realized that I didn't feel wronged and wanted to cry because I was afraid when I heard the monkey was going to beat me.It's because I know that when he said that, he was saying goodbye to me.

The monkey is really going to leave with the golden cicada, I can't bear it.

This is the first time I have tasted the taste of mortal feelings, which is called "Shengli".

At that time, I didn't understand why I had such strange emotions. I only knew that when I thought of never seeing the monkey again, I felt a sudden pain in my heart.The pain was thousands of times more painful than when my waist was broken by a pegasus horse, or my roots were broken by a sudden wind, and it made me unable to be myself.

I cried for three days until my eye sockets were dry and I could not shed a single tear.I'm tired of crying, and I don't want to cry anymore.It's useless to cry anyway, even if he leaves, even if I cry, he won't let go of Jin Chan and come back to accompany me.

He is the unrivaled hero that everyone is looking forward to, and he should accomplish great things together with the golden cicada, save all living beings, and be admired by all people, but I am just a crooked peach tree that can't even be separated from the mud nest, and my status is humble.How could the majestic Monkey King stay here for a long time because of a tree demon?

I should let it go.

I can't let go.

A few years have passed in a trance.

I am accompanied by all kinds of beasts, feed on the rain and dew, absorb the spiritual energy of the world, collect the essence of the sun and the moon, and devote myself to practice at the foot of the mountain.I seldom think of monkeys on my own initiative. Only in the middle of the night, when I look at the full moon climbing up the treetops and listen to the neighing of wild animals in the deep valley, do I think of monkeys, and then I practice harder.

Maybe it was because of the monkey's blessing that I was able to go to the fantasy world to practice. Now my physique is quite different from that in Pantaoyuan. The immortal essence has become more stable and my spiritual power is much more abundant. Even after practicing a few times, I can feel better Control those sudden surges of spiritual energy.

For example, I can control when I bloom and bear fruit, how many flowers bloom, whether the peaches are big or small; I can also make some withered flowers and plants growing around me full of vitality; An old dry tree farthest from me on the top of the mountain, a dead tree in spring, spits out new shoots.

It's not just plants. Occasionally, when some seriously injured beasts run past me, I will help treat them. As long as they are not dead, they can be cured.

The Jade Emperor said that my peach tree is different from others.I am the dragon and phoenix among the trees, and the emerald among the peaches.

Perhaps the Jade Emperor just said these words casually, he did not expect that my emerald, which has been wrapped in lumps of soil for tens of thousands of years, would one day really open my heart and transform into a human being.

It was a cloudy and rainy day, and it was in the middle of the night. There were no stars or moons in the sky, so I thought, since I can’t absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, I might as well lie down and sleep. I haven’t slept for a long time since the monkey left. One fell asleep.So, I found a relatively thick branch on my body and lay down.

It was raining heavily, but because it was summer, it was cool when it rained.I lay in the rain, took a shower while sleeping, and it was very comfortable.In the second half of the night, I even dreamed of a monkey, dreaming that he obtained the scriptures and immediately became a Buddha.The Buddha gave him a magnificent monk temple, asked him to shave his head, and chased him with a three-foot-long guillotine.The monkey couldn't run, and was forced to the ground by Jin Chan and Buddha, shaved off his golden hair, and became a bald monk like Jin Chan.

Damn!My long-lived brother became a monk?A monkey with a bald head is not a good look!I don't recognize it!

"Don't!" I was so frightened by the bald monkey that I rolled over from the branch and fell to the ground hard with a "plop".

"Hmm!" I snorted, rubbing my painful forehead, and got up from the muddy water.At that time, the sudden summer rainstorm had long passed, the dark clouds dissipated, and a little bit of white sky was exposed in the east.When the silt on the surface of the water settled down and calmness returned, I saw the reflection of an eighteen-nine-year-old boy in the mirror-like water.

I have grown taller than when I was in the Ten Directions Illusory Realm, and I am as tall as a head. After losing the baby fat, I still have a little childish face, and the outline is much clearer.The hair is as pure black as the eyeballs, and the soft hair is tied loosely with a peach branch. She is wearing a light pink robe, just like the lightest color in a peach blossom. Seems to be... getting closer.

"I've become a human! Haha!" I happily stepped on the water with my little feet, splashing small splashes.

The ripples blurred the reflection in the water, and I waited for the water to calm down before continuing to admire myself.After admiring enough, step on a few more feet, and go back and forth like this, having a great time.I squeezed my face, touched my body, kicked my legs and feet, and spread my fingers to cover my eyes, looking at my slender fingers against the rising sun.

"La la la ~ I became a human la la la ~" I happily hummed an out-of-tune song, and walked around in a circle with my bare feet in the small puddle.

After a circle, I faced the exit of the valley, and the smile on the corner of my mouth froze.What about becoming a human?The sky is big and the earth is big, I am just a dryad, where can I go?

I was a little dazed, and suddenly couldn't figure out why I insisted on cultivating as an adult.

Even an adult can't change the fact that the monkey has left long ago, and after becoming a human, he has to eat, drink, and endure many troubles that ordinary people have, so why bother?It's better to be a tree that doesn't worry about food and clothing, and carefree.

Thinking of this, I sighed, retracted into the crooked neck tree again, and pretended that I was still an ordinary tree.For the next few days, I lived in a daze, aimlessly.

When I was hungry, I jumped off the tree and went to the mountain to pick some fruits. When I was thirsty, I went to the stream halfway up the mountain to drink cold water.Most of the time every day is to perform an invisibility technique, sitting on a branch and staring at the road leaving the valley in a daze, this sits for a whole day.

That day, as usual, I held a bag of wild fruits, sat cross-legged on a branch of a tree and wandered invisibly.At this time, a galloping carriage came running from a distance, and behind it was chasing a group of burly men holding swords.The coachman was full of panic, and kept beating the horses with a whip, urging them to run faster, and shouted: "Help! Help!"

I came back to my senses, and looked down curiously. It turned out that someone had encountered a robber.There were about 15 robbers on fast horses.The mountain road is rugged, and the carriage is not as light as the robber's fast horse, and it is about to be chased.The car curtain shook, and I saw that there seemed to be a young woman and two boys sitting in the car.

However, this place is on the border of the Tang Dynasty, with few people and deep mountains and wild valleys. Where can any hero come to rescue the people on the carriage?I lamented in my heart, there will be a few more dead souls in the world soon.Just wanted to close my eyes, not to look at the bloody side.At this time, the wild fruit "Gulu" rolled in my arms, I was taken aback, and suddenly realized——

Am I not human?Heroes and heroes, the road is rough!

"Even women and children are not spared, are you still worthy of being robbers?" I sneered, jumped down from the treetops, and kicked the horse that ran ahead of the robbers to the ground.

"Ouch!" The bandit leader fell off his horse, and a dog ate shit and lay on the ground, his mouth was full of blood, and his teeth fell out all over the floor.He looked around in horror and said tremblingly, "Who? Who beat you? And who is talking?"

I:"……"

How could I forget, I'm still hidden now, it's embarrassing.

The robbers were terrified, stopped their horses, looked at each other, shaking like chaff.

"It's broad daylight, are you alive?"

The coachman drove the horse for a while, and felt something strange behind him, so he boldly stopped and looked back.The women and children in the car also looked over.

"Hehehe." I laughed a few times, showed myself, and said, "Sorry, I hit you."

"A brat, still pretending to be a ghost?" The robber shouted violently, and slashed at my face with a knife.

What a joke, mere mortals also want to bully the young master?

I sneered, with my hands behind my back, my right foot lightly stepped on the ground, I jumped up, and kicked the robber's bearded face "Kuang Kuang Kuang" fiercely, until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he kept crying, but there was no room for him to fight back.

"Forgive me, good man, spare my life!" All the robbers got off their horses and knelt down begging for mercy when they saw their elder brother begging for trouble.

"Okay, I won't embarrass you, but don't hurt anyone anymore." I said, "At least, thieves have their own way, don't bully women and children. Moreover, this place is the border of the country, and there are wars from time to time. Man, you don't know how to serve the country, but you come here to bully your own people, what's the point?"

"What the young hero said is true! What the young hero said is true!" The robbers said, "I'll go join the barracks right now. If I can't die for my country with a shroud of horse leather, I must defend my Tang glory!" He jumped on his horse and ran away like hell.

I:"……"

"Young man, thank you!" Seeing that the robber had left, the groom turned around and came back to thank me: "Thank you, young man, for saving the lives of my family of four! I am very grateful!"

"It's just what I can do." I smiled, "The children must be frightened."

"It's okay, okay." The groom said, looking at the direction the robbers were leaving, and frowned, "Young man, you just let those robbers go away like this? Although they said they were going to join the army, no one can guarantee that, what they said It’s true, it can really turn the evil into the right.”

"As long as they have the slightest thought of changing their ways, we will give him a chance." I found strangely that I had learned from Jin Chanzi and became soft-hearted.I said: "You can't guarantee that they won't join the army, but you can't be sure that they will definitely not join the army. So...I can only save them for a while, to ensure that they will not do anything wrong at this moment."

"For a moment?" the groom asked, "If you can save them for a while, who will save them for a lifetime?"

"This..." I was taken aback by the question, and suddenly remembered the golden cicada and the monkey, so I said, "There will be people. Some eminent monks will come to save all living beings. Although all living beings are suffering now, when that day comes, the world will be full of suffering." There will be no more suffering."

"En." The groom said: "Although I don't know if there will be such a day, but young man, thank you for today! You rushed out to save my family just now, with a majestic appearance, you really look like a peerless Where are the heroes!"

"The hero of the world..." My heart trembled, and I suddenly remembered the words I often said a long time ago——

"If Shu Sheng has no ideals, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"My tree-born dream is that one day, I will become a peerless hero like the Monkey King, standing on the clouds and wearing a golden armor, which attracts everyone's attention!"

"Young hero?" The groom called me.

"Huh?" I came back to my senses and smiled, "Thank you for letting me know what I should do."

"What?" The other party was puzzled.

"It's nothing." I smiled and waved my hand: "Just leave it alone."

I want to realize my dream and become a monkey-like Gai who can wear golden armor and step on auspicious clouds when everyone is watching!World!Britain!male!

I simply packed up my luggage——

He made a pair of straw sandals out of dry grass and put them on; he also made a small water bag out of animal skins, filled it with stream water and hung it around his waist; finally, he went to the forest to pick a large bag of wild fruits and carried it behind his back.

After doing this, I said goodbye to the flowers, grass, birds, animals, fish and insects that I had treated, and walked west along the road at the exit of the valley.

On the way, when the two armies were at war, I helped the righteous side rescue the captured general; when the princess was kidnapped by wild beasts, I helped the old king rescue his favorite daughter; When priests prayed for rain, I helped them break through the scams, dig ditches to divert river water to irrigate the farmland; I also helped a blind old woman cross the road, helped a lost girl find her parents, patted durians for an old man who lost his hands, and replaced his broken legs The husband got down on one knee with eggs…

To realize your dream, you must start from now, start from the little things, and don't be afraid of hardship or tiredness.When I do these things, I feel like I am one step closer to my dream.

I left Datang and walked westward, passing Yingshoujian, Wusi Zangguo, Gaolao Village in Yunzhan Cave, Futu Mountain, Huangfengling, Liusha River, Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain, Lianhua Cave in Pingding Mountain...

In the four directions of east, west, north, south, I don't know why I insist on going west.I’m just looking forward to it vaguely, passing through a certain country, a certain town, a certain mountain forest, meeting soldiers, peddlers, and woodcutters along the way, and listening to them occasionally talking about it in their free time——

Four masters and apprentices passed by here, worshiping Buddha in the west, seeking the scriptures.

I am working hard to realize my dream, walking the road walked by monkeys, and listening to the legends about him and Jin Chan seeking Buddhist scriptures from the west.

I know that Monkey is no longer just a hero in my heart. People in the world call him that, calling him majestic, a world-class hero who punishes evil, promotes good and slays demons and demons.

very nice.

However, all these good things ended on a certain day, when I finished eating the wild fruits I carried with me, my stomach was empty and my stomach was hungry, I came to a bustling town and stood guarding a basket of fragrant meat buns on the street.

The owner of the bun shop smiled and picked up a bun for me to smell. It smells so good!want to eat!But he told me that he wanted a penny.

I rubbed my flat belly and touched my pocket: it's over!Empty stomach!The purse is also empty!

"Can... give me a bun?" I swallowed.

"Give it? For free?" the boss asked.

"Hehe..." I smiled shyly, "Is that all right?"

"Should I buy it or not? If you don't buy it, get out of the way, it will affect my business!" The boss said angrily and pushed me.

God knows, I haven't eaten for half a month, and I was so hungry that I was so hungry that I almost sat on the ground when he pushed me.

I took a few steps back, hit the city wall with my back, supported my aching forehead, turned around and saw many people gathered around the city wall, talking loudly about something.

It turned out that there was a notice posted on the wall with some eloquent characters written on it.I went up, grabbed a grandmother who seemed to be kind, and asked, "Grandma, what is written on the notice?"

Grandma said: "The lady of the horseman's family in the town is haunted by evil spirits, and she has to spend a lot of money to hire a demon master to catch ghosts and eliminate demons."

I hurriedly said, "How much gold is it? Is it enough to buy meat buns?"

Grandma looked at me strangely: "Does the money for buying meat buns count as money? This is ten taels of gold, gold!"

Seeing Grandma's exaggerated expression, ten taels of gold should be able to wrap up the bun shop, right?There is a door!

"I'll go!" I said, and stepped forward to remove the notice.

"Ai ai ai, can you expose the notice posted by my master?" A Xiaosi looked at me suspiciously, "You look... you don't look like a Taoist priest? Don't make trouble, just go and stay where you are cool. "

"Of course." I said confidently, "I have caught ghosts and eliminated demons, so I have some experience."

The man saw that I was so hungry that my eyes were black and I was stepping on straw sandals, and said with disdain: "Yo - I really think that I am a great saint, and I also slay demons and demons. I am obviously a poor boy, cheating on food and drinking, right?" .”

When I heard this, I became anxious, and said, "Who cheated? My ideal is to become a world-famous hero like the Great Sage, and I have been working hard for this..."

"laugh--"

There was an unfriendly chuckle behind me.The voice was so familiar that I froze.Then, another unfamiliar but obviously very unfriendly voice said nonsense:

"Brother Monkey, this kid dares to compare himself with you, he is too crazy!"
