[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

Out of Tushita Palace, on the way to the South China Sea, I still haven't figured out why Laojun invited me, an unknown "flower protector" to his banquet. The congratulatory gift didn't take advantage of this fairy, wouldn't it be a loss for the old gentleman?

However, when he was leaving, the monkey said "Thank you."

Thanks for what?

Ben Xianjun suddenly thought that the monkeys belonged to the Tathagata of the Western Paradise. If Laojun hosted all the priests from the fairy world, there would be nothing wrong with the monkeys.

Both the monkey and the immortal were the ones who should not have appeared at the banquet, but they appeared again and stayed until the end.

Not only did they stay until the end, but they also left together.

The monkey said that it was a long way from Tushita Palace to the South China Sea, and if he rode on ordinary clouds and ordinary fog, he would have to travel at least one day and one night.

Ben Xianjun has never been to the South China Sea, and he doesn't know the way, so he immediately followed suit and said, "That's fine, thank you very much."

"You and I, you are welcome." Monkey said, he was three fingers taller than me, and the breath he exhaled when he spoke fell on my ear, slightly itchy.

Ben Xianjun took a step back to the side.

The monkey turned around and whistled towards the sky. Before the time was up, a lavender cloud with colorful light awns fell at his feet.Monkey stepped on a pair of short boots with black gold thread and dark embroidered moiré pattern steadily, then turned back and stretched out a hand to pull me.His palms were facing upwards, the lines on his hands were deep but not chaotic, and the golden wristbands wrapped around the cuffs in a relaxed manner, revealing a small half of his powerful wrists.

Only then did I see clearly that the monkey's wristband was carved with three or two branches of peach blossoms, which were in full bloom, scorching but not demonic, truly lovely.

"Come up." Seeing that the Immortal was in a daze, the monkey moved its fingers like a ghost, and the Immortal involuntarily put his hand up.The monkey grabbed me and pulled me into a somersault.

"I went to the South China Sea to borrow bamboo, and I have to trouble the Great Sage to give it to me personally. It's really hard work." Ben Xianjun felt very sorry, and didn't want to accept too many favors.

The monkey naturally let go of the fairy's hand, frowned, and asked, "Are you so polite to everyone?"

"I..." Ben Xianjun looked up, saw the monkey's deeply hurt expression, and was bluffed to take a step back. Unexpectedly, he stepped on the edge of the cloud, and the sole of his foot slipped and almost fell.

"Happy!" The monkey scooped up a handful, and clasped his arm around the waist of this fairy.

"Hmm!" Ben Xianjun's old waist was broken once a thousand years ago, maybe the root cause of the disease was left behind, and when he was hugged by the monkey, his whole back went numb from the lumbar spine up.

"Why don't you be more careful." The monkey reprimanded warmly, and made the somersault cloud bigger, so that we can have more room for movement.

After I stood firmly, I separated the monkey with my hands, and laughed a few times, "Hehe, my feet are slippery, my feet are slippery. I have never seen the world since I came out of a small mountain. It is the first time I sit somersaulting. I am inevitably excited. Let the great sage see a joke." gone."

"..." The monkey was taken aback, the corners of his mouth raised an exaggerated arc, he smiled for a while, and then sighed: "Oh, you..."

The monkey sighed inexplicably, as if he hesitated to speak.When Ben Xianjun was thinking deeply, he suddenly lowered his body and lay down on the soft clouds with one arm under his pillow, looking at the clear blue sky and becoming silent.

My fairy's feet are standing next to his head, maybe the monkey can kiss the upper of my shoe when the monkey tilts its head.Although my shoes were fairly clean and my feet didn't smell bad, I still felt something was wrong, so I took two steps away.But the monkey was lying too low, and I was really embarrassed to stand so high by myself. I hesitated a lot, and finally I sat down.

The somersault cloud carried the two of us whizzing, and everything around me retreated at a speed that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye. I glanced down, passed through several heavenly palaces, and saw some high mountains, rivers, palaces and Great Walls in the lower realm, but they were all ethereal. A little bit, as for those mortals, they are like ants.

Ben Xianjun felt emotional in his heart, and suddenly felt sad. I put one leg up, hugged my knees, looked straight at the eyes, and let go of my eyes, thinking——

The somersault cloud's speed is fast, time flies like a white horse, and it is just a flash.Thousands of years have passed, and it is fleeting. When you look back, you will find that "people are" and "things are", but some unknown things have been "unrecognizable".

"A man once told me that his dream is to one day become a world-class hero like Monkey King who can wear golden armor and step on auspicious clouds when all eyes are on him." Monkey said quietly.

His voice sounded so suddenly that I was stunned.When I recalled his words, I laughed lowly, "Is that so? That person is too self-indulgent, don't look at it, can anyone compare to the Great Sage?"

"..."

Ben Xianjun didn't look back at the monkey's expression, but felt that his hand seemed to be raised to cover my back, but finally put it down again.After being silent for a while, I said again: "When you hear this, the Great Sage must be very disdainful, right?"

"Indeed." The monkey didn't deny it either. He bent one leg and changed into a comfortable position. "At that time, I only had four words in my mind, and I was beyond my control."

"It's true if you think about it." I smiled, "Anyone who hears this will think that he is whimsical and out of control."

"But..." the monkey let out a mouthful of dirty air slowly, as if vomiting a thought that had been buried for thousands of years, and said again: "In the end, he did it."

Ben Xianjun's body shook slightly.

"It's not just the people's attention. This man is full of gods and Buddhas, and all the beings in the three realms. Everyone can see that he is wearing a golden armor and is an unrivaled hero." Monkey said.

I know that at this moment, I should say "great, great", but somehow, I blurted out: "If this is the case, wouldn't the face of the great saint be very painful?"

Originally, this fairy might hear a story of his past injury, but when he said this, the corner of the monkey's mouth twitched, turned around and stared at me, and stopped talking.

"That...hehe." Ben Xianjun laughed dryly, "I was talking too fast, I didn't mean to offend."

The monkey was not annoyed at all, he stretched out his hand to touch his face, pouted again, felt it, and said with a smile: "It seems to be true."

"..." Ben Xianjun couldn't laugh anymore, and suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart, very aggrieved, he just said "um", and said lightly: "The number of times the Great Sage has been slapped in the face is rare, and once in a while, it's okay to feel pain. of."

At this time, the somersaulting cloud shook, as if it had hit the ground, and it turned out that the South China Sea had arrived.

The monkey got up, and the Immortal followed.I didn't want to somersault cloud but caught my fairy's trousers. When I lifted my leg, I was caught and fell directly on the monkey's back.

"..." The monkey's body stiffened, and the fairy hurriedly supported his shoulders to stand firm, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Be careful." The monkey turned to me and kicked somersaulting Yun again, with a slightly cold voice: "Nonsense."

"..." The cloud twisted into a ball in aggrieved manner, and flew away, turning its head back three times as it left.

Somersaulting cloud was just a joke. In fact, the fairy is thin and generous, so I didn't want to care about it. I didn't expect the monkey to discipline the cloud very strictly.Ben Xianjun said: "Children love to play, so it's okay."

The monkey said: "I don't know who taught him these messy things."

Ben Xianjun was puzzled, "What is... a mess?"

Monkey smiled, "It's nothing, just go see Guanyin."

The monkey should have often come to the back door of Guanyin when he was learning scriptures in the west. He is as familiar with the detours of the South China Sea wonderland as his own Huaguo Mountain, so he took this fairy to see Guanyin directly.

At that time, Guanyin was sitting next to the lotus pond, feeding a koi in the pond with fish food.It is said that this koi was the one that the golden cicada traveled to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures 2000 years ago. When he passed the Tongtian River in distress, Guanyin rescued him and took him in.

"Little Immortal Chancellor Xian Yuanjun, I have met Master Guanyin." This Immortal Monarch saluted respectfully.

Avalokitesvara had a benevolent face, and said to me: "I already know the reason for your visit. It's just a few bamboos. Let Wukong take you to fetch them later."

Avalokitesvara, watch the sufferings of the Three Realms.Her old man must have known that my humble house was about to collapse, and she was very miserable, so she had expected that this fairy would come to beg for bamboo.

I am so grateful, I quickly bowed my head and cupped my hands again, thanking you a thousand times, "Thank you, thank you! Master Guanyin, you have a bodhisattva heart, and you saved the little fairy from danger, thank you!"

Master Avalokitesvara smiled and waved his hands, "Stand back, Wukong and I have something to say."

"..." Ben Xianjun was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his lips, and looked at the monkey a little at a loss.Xindao, didn't the monkey send me to the South China Sea on a special trip, but originally he was going to find Master Guanyin, and he brought me here just as a way?

The monkey pointed to the side and said, "Go and sit in the pavilion over there first, and I'll take you to the Purple Bamboo Forest later."

Following the direction of the monkey, Ben Xianjun saw a small octagonal pavilion not far away, with mahogany pillars and glazed roof, which is very elegant.

"Yes." Ben Xianjun nodded slightly to Master Guanyin, walked obediently into the pavilion, picked up the snacks on the table and took a bite, hearing their voices behind him.

The pavilion is not far from the lotus pond, and the words that came over were just a few words. I couldn't hear the specific words, but I really heard the three words "golden cicada".

The taste of Master Guanyin is probably relatively bland, and the pastry tastes bland and tasteless. It made my throat feel uncomfortable. I swallowed it and got stuck in my chest.Ben Xianjun walked out of the pavilion along with the suffocation in his chest, and went further away.

Eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a gentleman's work. Since people don't want me to listen, and I have surprisingly good hearing, if I am bored and don't talk about it, I will be annoying, so why bother?

But not long after I walked out, I felt a little regretful, because I found myself trapped in a rocky forest and couldn't find my way back.Sighed helplessly, this is the mansion of Master Guanyin, I don’t want to rush around, so I had to find a fairly flat stone and sit down, hoping that the monkey and Guanyin would have some rest after chatting about the golden cicada. I thought of me, and found that I was not in the pavilion, but I was willing to look for it.

Banruo was still not very energetic, and kept wrapping around this fairy's wrist in dismay, and didn't make a sound all the way when he came.The fairy was bored, so he chatted with it to relieve the boredom, and then gave it a breath of fairy air, so that it became more lively, jumped a few times and made a "ding bell" sound.

"Good Prajna, this time it's my fault." Ben Xianjun apologized, and said: "I didn't know that Xiaotiangou's realm is no longer a beast, but a super god who can transform into a human body, which caused your spiritual power to be exhausted too much."

Prajna floated down, and rubbed against this fairy's cheek, and the five bells danced together, comforting him, saying that he was fine, just too sleepy just now.

"Stop making trouble, and rest quickly." Ben Xianjun caught it, wrapped it around his wrist again, and said: "If you are not like me, you are also a road idiot..."

At this moment, the monkey has already found it.I was deeply surprised by this fairy, and didn't keep me waiting for too long.

"You're not in the pavilion, why did you come here by yourself?" the monkey asked, not knowing how he found it, and a thin layer of sweat covered his forehead.He reached out and pulled me.

Ben Xianjun stood up with his hands, patted the soil, and smiled, "I saw the beautiful scenery in the South China Sea, so I wanted to look around, but I lost my way. You and Master Guanyin, have you finished talking about important matters? "

"..." The monkey paused, then gave a faint "hmm".

Only then did Ben Xianjun see that in his other hand he was holding a pure white matte ax of unknown material.

Before I could ask, the monkey had already walked along a road, and explained: "The bamboo in the Purple Bamboo Forest is different from ordinary bamboo. It cannot be melted by fire or rotted by water, and it cannot be broken by ordinary spells or magic tools. "

Ben Xianjun chased after him: "So, this ax is used to chop bamboo?"

"Hmm." The monkey had his hands behind his back, although he was holding a clumsy axe, but it didn't affect his calm and wanton posture in the slightest.

Ben Xianjun thought to himself, one of the world's most anticipated heroes is enough.
