[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

How can a monkey kneel down? ? ?

He is obviously a peerless hero that everyone is looking forward to!

Wear cloud boots!Step on the clouds!

Wear golden armor!Hold the wind!

You can reach the moon for nine days!You can catch turtles in the five oceans!

He is majestic!He is arrogant!

He, how, can, kneel down? ? ?

No way! ! !

When he kneels, not only his arrogance is broken, but also the dream I have been chasing for 500 years.

"Great Sage!!! Stand up!!!"

My desperate voice sounded in the sky, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, it sounded so unreal.Tears, rain, muddy water, I couldn't tell what it was, and it fell on my face, blurring my vision.I ran over, jumped to his side, and desperately grabbed his arm with trembling hands, trying to pull him up from the mud.

"Stand up, stand up! Stand up!!!"

The monkey's back was straight and he didn't move. His pale face made him look like an ice sculpture covered in red.His expression is also cold, which I have never seen before.No matter how much I pull him, he won't be moved. There is a faint light in his pale golden eyes, but they are not facing me, but facing Jin Chan who is facing his back and is full of determination.

"Wukong, let's go. From today onwards, you and I, master and disciple... the relationship is over." Jin Chan turned her back to the monkey, her snow-white cassock was also soaked already, and it glowed like cold jade in the dark rainy night .

"Those people are evil people and should be killed." Monkey didn't answer me, his eyes fell on Jin Chan's back, with a touch of sadness, he insisted: "I'm not wrong."

"But they are mortals!" Jin Chan, who has always been calm and gentle, rarely gets angry. He flicked his sleeves violently and shouted: "In your eyes, their lives are like ants or worthless, and you can kill them with a stick!" If you go down, you deserve to die?!"

"But they almost killed you!" said the monkey, "Even if it wasn't you, it would have been someone else! A robber is a robber! If I kill one, I save ten! If I kill ten, I save a hundred." ! Doesn’t it work?!”

"If you insist on thinking this way..." Jin Chan paused, holding a nine-ringed tin staff, walked through the mud to an abandoned bamboo house, and said softly: "It is in vain that I, Xuanzang, determined to save all sentient beings, but... I failed Yes, I admit it, in this life...I can't save you, you go..."

The monkey's eyes rolled, he followed Jin Chan, and looked at the bamboo house.

"..." I saw that in the monkey's golden eyes, the colored glass shattered to the ground.So my numb consciousness seemed to regain some consciousness, I suddenly turned my head to stare at Jin Chan, and said: "No! The Great Sage would not belittle the life of any mortal! He did this only for you! He did it Everything is for you! For you, he has worked very hard to change himself, how can you say that about him?"

Jin Chan paused, but never looked back. He went into the bamboo house to shelter from the rain, and closed the door casually.

"Happy." The monkey finally responded. He put his hand on the back of my hand and held it very lightly.

The monkey's hands had been soaked in the rain for a long time and became extremely cold.But the position where the skin is close together seems to have scalding heat coming from it.I looked at him with an indescribable pain.

"Da, Sheng..." My voice finally weakened.

Perhaps the monkey has gotten tired of hearing the word "Great Sage" for a long time. Countless people have called him this way, and all of them are in awe. To him, this is just a casual title.But for me, these two words are too heavy.Shouting it out took almost all my strength.

I knelt down beside him without strength, but I still had a little strength in my hand. I grabbed his sleeve tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "He is no longer Jin Chan. He has no memory of his previous life. Like, he is a completely different person, whether he is called Jiang Liuer or Xuanzang, but he is no longer a golden cicada. Yes, he is indeed as merciful as a golden cicada, but But he is more stubborn than Jin Chan, he won't understand you..."

The monkey grabbed my hand, pulled me away from his sleeve, and said softly, "This is between me and him, it has nothing to do with you, don't interfere."

"..." I was stunned for a moment, and thought to myself: How could it have nothing to do with me?

Only I know how much Monkey paid for Jin Chan.It seems that when the monkey met Jin Chan for the first time in Tianting, he chose a racehorse for him, and then accompanied him to practice horse riding.Not to mention that just because he saw Jin Chan's tragic past life in the illusion of ten directions, he decided to swear to protect him to the west to learn scriptures.

But what the monkey said seems to be right... No matter how much he silently pays, it is between him and Jin Chan, and has nothing to do with me.

However, the monkey is willing, and so am I.

I bowed my head dejectedly, and murmured: "How could it have nothing to do with me, Brother Changliu, I...I like you..."

"..." The monkey's overly slender fingers bent unnaturally, as if it wanted to grab something, but in the end it just lowered its hands and tightly clung its fists into a ball. The strength was so great that pale green blood vessels bulged on the back of the hand .

I like you.

I have said this sentence to the monkey in my heart countless times, and at the same time, I have imagined when, where and how I will say this sentence to the monkey countless times.I once thought that the three words "like you" had an unbearable weight, which kept me awake at night;

Now that I have said it, I feel that it is just like that. It seems that there is nothing difficult, and the weight is not as heavy as I imagined.

Facing the monkey, I was like performing a one-man show.It was raining, so I took out the umbrella that Master gave me and put it on top of the monkey.Regardless of whether he responded or not, I said it word by word.

"I like you for 500 years. In the past, I was still a crooked neck tree in the peach orchard. When everyone laughed at me and ridiculed me, only you were the best for me. You helped me bloom and became a big tree again. Peaches make me happy…

Maybe these are nothing to you, even, you never know my existence.Those things are just fun for you, so you just do it.But for me, that was the only light I saw in the coldest and darkest.

I, since then, have liked you, Great Sage..."

"..." The monkey knelt straight, his fingers were tightly clenched, and his entire shoulder was shaking.His chest was heaving and his brows were furrowed. After a long time, he raised the corners of his mouth and said lightly, "I'm sorry..."

"No, don't say I'm sorry." Hearing the monkey say these three words, I laughed instead.Tears welled up, and I said, "You don't owe me anything, I owe you. But, even if Jin Chan is no longer the former Jin Chan, do you still decide to guard him?"

"Yes." Monkey didn't hesitate.

"Okay, I understand." I nodded, took the monkey's hand, I put Yao Guang into his hand, got up from the mud and walked towards the bamboo house.

The monkey's eyes flashed.

I walked to the door of the bamboo house and said, "Holy Monk, please give the Great Sage another chance, he knew he was wrong."

"Xiao Taoxian, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to persuade him anymore. It's him who is bloodthirsty, and he won't change after repeated admonition." Jin Chan's flat voice came from inside the house, "Tell him, from now on I won't have him as an apprentice again. Son, if he doesn't leave again, I'm going to chant the magic spell."

Curse?Oh, I forgot, Jin Chan still has such a magic weapon in her hand.Some people say that what you can't get is treasure, and what you can get is grass.This is half true.The unrivaled hero in my heart comes to Jin Chan, even if he kneels down for him, can he remain indifferent?

"Holy Monk, ask yourself, how much has he paid for you all the way west?" I said, "You know, the Great Sage has never knelt down to anyone, but today he knelt down to you. Only you can let him Stand up, as long as you say a word."

The voices of Bajie and Wujing came from inside the house: "Yes, master, every time you encounter monsters along the way, you will be rescued by senior elder brother. Even if it is wrong to kill him, how can you drive him away? It is still raining outside, you Let the senior brother get up, master!"

"Without him, it's the same if I have the two of you." Jin Chan said softly, "Stop talking, I've made up my mind. If he wants to kneel, let him kneel. When he's tired of kneeling, he will naturally get up."

"Master, alas! Master, don't recite the mantra!" Wu Jing said anxiously.Before the words fell, I heard the monkey grunt.

"Master, don't read it quickly, if you read it again, senior brother, I will read it to your death!" Bajie couldn't help interceding, "Although those robbers are human, they did all kinds of bad things and were killed by monkeys. It’s not wrong to die.”

"Holy Monk," I took a step, knelt down slowly, and said, "Okay, if you let him kneel, I will kneel with him too. You have sentient beings in your heart, and I am one of them. You can't bear to hurt those robbers. Can you bear to watch me kneel in the rain again?"

"Ugh!" The monkey's red gold forehead had disappeared at some point, replaced by a golden hoop exuding a light golden luster, which was constantly shrinking.His expression was distorted in pain, he couldn't maintain his kneeling position, and fell to the ground, curled up in a ball with his head in his arms.Seeing me kneeling down, his pupils dilated suddenly, and he looked in my direction, shouting something, mixed with painful groans, which couldn't be heard clearly.

After the rain, I faintly heard the monkey calling my name.I know what kind of suffering the monkey is suffering at this moment, and my heart is also pulled into a ball.But no matter how the monkey called me, I didn't look back, I just knelt straight like him before, and said: "Holy Monk, I beg you, give the Great Sage one more chance."

"..." Jin Chan paused and sighed, "Xiao Taoxian, why are you bothering?"

Washed by the cold rain, I was shivering with cold.I was fighting with my upper and lower teeth, my body was on the verge of falling, my voice trembled slightly, and I said, "Bitterness, what he suffers from."

"Okay, this good show is here, and it should be over." At this moment, a chuckle came from behind me.Immediately, the rain stopped on my head.

My body was slightly stiff, and I slowly raised my head, seeing Yao Guang covering my head.

Holding Yao Guang was an extremely pale hand with slender knuckles, a pair of red gold wristbands on the cuffs, wrapped in a colorful robe.Going up, there is a face exactly the same as that of a monkey, the only difference is that he looks at me with a gentleness that monkeys have never had before.

In other words, monkeys look at me like this only when they are in the illusion of ten directions.

"Great Sage?" My heart beat faster suddenly, and I looked at the monkey without blinking.He held the umbrella in his left hand and helped me up from the ground with his right hand.After kneeling on the ground for a long time, my legs became weak and I couldn't help sliding down.

Monkey picked me up with one hand, frowned distressed and annoyed, and said, "Who allows you to kneel down, huh?"

Hearing the ending sound raised by him, I was slightly taken aback, and blurted out: "Master." Then I remembered something, turned my head suddenly, and saw——

Where the monkey had been kneeling, there was only a puddle of water left.The monkey is gone!

The author has something to say: The drama of robbing the daughter-in-law, robbing the master, robbing the younger brother, robbing Huaguoshan, robbing monkeys and monkey grandchildren is about to end... Ahem, starting from the next chapter, I am happy that someone hurts me...
