[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

"The Buddhist scriptures from the Tang Dynasty are already at the foot of the mountain. The Buddha said that in the past two days, the Buddhist scriptures pavilion will only be open to them, and people who are not involved will be temporarily avoided. Come out quickly."

When I learned that Jin Chanzi's past life was extremely miserable, I was already shaking my hands and heart with horror. The spirit boy who guarded the mountain said, "The person who learned the scriptures has arrived", and directly made me throw the copy of Jin Chanzi's "Great Biography" on the ground.

With the blue-gray cover of "The Biography" facing up, the three big characters "Jin Chan Zi" appeared in front of the soul boy.He was slightly taken aback.

"Ah...that..." I lowered my head guiltyly, scratched the tip of my nose with my index finger, laughed and said, "I just picked it up, and I haven't had time to read it yet. Um... I don't know how to read, what kind of book is this?" After that, he bent down to pick it up and put it back where it was.

At the foot of Lingtong Mountain, he looked at me, presumably because he was used to monks not lying or telling lies, so he thought that everyone would not tell lies, and he did not doubt that what I said was not true, so he replied: "That is true. Jin Chanzi's "Biography" records his life."

"Oh, that's it." I replied, and followed him out of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion.Before leaving, he looked back again, very curious about what the missing sentence was.

It suddenly occurred to me that the flesh of golden cicadas can live and die, and the peaches I produced can also bring people back to life.Therefore, the better "best policy" should not be to eat my peaches, right?In this way, wouldn't I shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the common people?Ha ha!

But I thought again, this kind of speculation is a bit too absurd, after all, I am just a tree with a crooked neck, and I don't have the noble status and respected status like Jin Chan, let alone his appearance and temperament .

I feel that comparing myself with Jin Chan is simply asking for humiliation.Anyone who reads it will say that Huanxi can't compare to Jin Chan in any way, and he is more than a thousand miles away from him.

Thinking about some messy things in my heart, I trotted down the mountain road all the way down Lingshan.

"My heart is disturbed" because I learned that the monkey has returned.Seven or eight years have passed since the last farewell, and it was like that when he left. I experienced several sorrows and joys in a day, and I felt like I was in a dream. Afterwards, most of what the monkey said to me was in a trance of.

In the past few years, I often think back to that day, and found that he said "wait for me", as if he had promised me something, but he seemed to have nothing.

Now that he is back, I don't know what identity or attitude I should use to meet him, should I greet him politely?Or run up to him and give him a hug?

As for this "trotting all the way", it has absolutely nothing to do with being anxious to see the monkey.It was because the mountain road was so steep that I had to speed up my pace, and even nearly rolled down the mountain several times.

Hmm... In fact, following the anxious monkey also has something to do with the bigger sesame seeds.Moreover, I slipped a few times on the road, and I did roll a few times.

By the time I reached the bottom of the mountain after running and rolling, my hair was crooked, my clothes were scratched, my face was covered with ashes, and one of my shoes was missing.how to say?In short, it cannot be described as a "worry".

However, there were no monkeys at the foot of the mountain, not even Jin Chan, Wu Jing and others.

There is more than one way to go up the mountain. Could it be that when I went down the mountain, the four of them, the master and the apprentice, had already diverged from each other on the other side of the mountain?

Thinking of this possibility, I felt a little lost.I failed to see the monkey in the first place, and all my entanglements and apprehensions along the way seemed superfluous or even ridiculous.

I sighed, calmed down my shortness of breath due to running, lowered my head, and walked towards my thatched hut in a spirited manner.

When I saw pebbles on the road, I couldn't help but raise my legs and kick them to vent my anger; when I encountered weeds and the like, I couldn't help but slap my hands as if to vent my anger.

I don't know where my anger comes from, I just feel wronged.I think I waited for the monkey at the foot of the mountain for seven or eight years, looking forward to the stars and the moon, but I didn’t even see him the first time he came back from learning the scriptures. I’m so angry.

If I hadn't gone down the mountain just now, I would have just waited outside the gate of Daleiyin Temple, and I would definitely meet him.It’s good now, the monkey has entered Leiyin Temple, and if he wants to pass on the scriptures, he has to accept the reward from the Tathagata, and maybe he has to accompany Jin Chan to send the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty...

In short, there are too many things to do, let alone time to see me.It must be a few years later when he is completely free.

Just like that, I missed the only chance to see him in the near future, whoops, why am I so stupid.

With a chicken bone grass in my mouth, I walked slowly to my hut, and was about to push open the fence door, so I paused.

wrong!A stranger had been in the house because a horse had been hitched in the yard.

White Dragon Horse? !

"Hey, master, the Tathagata has treated us well. We haven't climbed the Lingshan Mountain yet, so we built a hut at the foot of the mountain for us to rest our feet." Bajie said loudly.

Jin Chan said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, this house obviously has an owner. You see, the pots and pans are all freshly washed, and the peach blossom trees and vegetables in the yard have also been carefully taken care of .”

"Yes, Second Senior Brother." Wu Jing said, "Master didn't let you in without the master's permission. It was you who were crying all the way hungry, so you insisted on coming in to rest your feet and look for food. Now that you have come in, you should be quiet for a while and rest. your feet!"

"Hey, you haven't got the scripture yet, but your temper has grown, and you dare to scold me with Master, right?" Bajie said, "Besides, it's not that I have to come in, it's the monkey who said it can come in." He doesn't treat himself as an outsider, and eats fruits and snacks on other people's tables casually, why don't I even have the freedom to speak? If you talk about me again, believe it or not, I will beat you!"

Wu Jing hurriedly said: "Master, senior brother! Look at him!"

The monkey scolded: "You lazy idiot! You only bully honest people! I think you are the one who wants to be beaten!"

"!" Hearing the monkey's voice, I was taken aback for a moment, and my heart, which had just calmed down, jumped up again.I put my hand on the fence door, took a deep breath, and finally pushed it out after accumulating courage for a long time.

The gate grate rubbed against the ground, making a "squeak—" sound.

There was a moment of silence in the room.After a moment.

Jin Chan said warmly: "Wukong, go and see if the owner of the house is back."

As soon as I stepped into the yard, the wooden door of the thatched cottage was opened, and what caught my eyes was a pair of black boots, a red robe, and a cool and handsome face that I missed day and night.

At that time, the monkey's hand was buckling on the door, and the red gold wristband reflected the light of the scorching sun at noon, making it very dazzling.I stayed where I was, opened my mouth slightly, and the chicken bone weed in my mouth fell to the ground.

Over the years, I have planted a whole row of peach blossom trees by the wall of the thatched cottage.While planting a tree, I miss every detail of Monkey. Whenever I think of him, I will unconsciously beautify him in my heart, making him more handsome and stronger, making him radiant, and letting him drink the wind and drink the rain. Let him wear golden armor and step on auspicious clouds.

Now the flowering period has arrived, and the garden has already bloomed in full bloom.However, at the moment the monkey was standing in the middle of a scorching sea of ​​flowers, which made them lose their colors in an instant.

Only now did I realize that my previous fantasies were simply ridiculous.Even if there is no golden armor and auspicious clouds, no splendor, and no imagination, the monkey just needs to stand anywhere and take a random pose, which is enough to make me unable to look away.

He looked up.Line of sight relative.

There was a throbbing in my heart, all the greetings I had thought up on the way down the mountain had already turned into a pot of gruel in my mind at this moment.I lifted my bare foot and took a step forward. I felt it was inappropriate, so I embarrassedly put my shoed foot in front.

After kicking around a few times like this, he was already very close to the monkey, but he still couldn't figure out what to say in the first sentence after meeting.

The monkey stood on two wooden steps, condescending. Although it was looking down, its eyes were calm and gentle, but there seemed to be... neither surprise nor... fright?

What's wrong!

Seeing that his attitude was so calm, it could even be said to be very cold, I felt a "thump" in my heart.The cheeks that were hot due to embarrassment seemed to be cooled down in an instant, as if someone poured a basin of cold water.

Afraid that he would say something unpleasant, let me wake up from the dream again.I turned around hastily, trying to pretend I hadn't seen him today, and ran away.

At this time, the monkey smiled very softly as if waiting at home for a long time, and said, "Since you are home, why don't you go in?"

"!" As if I was frozen in place, I couldn't take another step.

I felt that the fourth finger of my left hand seemed to be caught by something. Looking down, it turned out to be the red thread on the ring. Then I remembered that when the monkey gave the ring to me, he said that as long as I wear this red silk ring for a day , The red line is not broken, no matter where there is danger or mood, he knows it.

he knows!

These years, I miss him, miss him, help him take care of his monkey monkey grandson as the master, let him wear golden armor and ride auspicious clouds in my heart... He knows everything!

Therefore, seeing me here, he will not be surprised, nor surprised, nor frightened.Because he already knew that I was invited by the Tathagata to visit Lingshan, and he also knew that this house was mine!

Not only that, but he was also aware of the excitement and anxiety I felt when I bumped into the deer on the way here just now.

Thinking of this, I knew that this time I was really ashamed and thrown home, so I quickly covered my face, lowered my head to the ground and sighed, wishing I could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

But the monkey smiled lightly and said, "Huanxi, come here."

I dawdled and took a few steps back, but I still didn't dare to look back at him.I think his smile now should be a mocking smile.

"Come here," the monkey said again, and this time his voice was suddenly nearer, and it sounded like he was right behind him.

I hurriedly turned around, but when I turned around, I bumped into his arms.
