[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

"Cheng Xianjun, you are here." Hearing the sound, Jin Chan turned her face slightly towards the fairy.The monkey seemed to be still in a coma, he was holding Jin Chan's hand tightly, his body was covered with a thin layer of frost, and he looked seriously injured.Jin Chan's complexion was slightly pale, presumably she had spent many days taking care of the monkey here.

"Brother Huanxi, I wanted to tell you when I came here. It was Jin Chanzi who asked me to invite you..." The little monkey who went to Xishan to find Ben Xianjun whispered: "You didn't let me After finishing speaking, I came in a hurry..."

Ben Xianjun smiled and pointed at the little monkey's head, and said: "I thought your king was seriously injured and no one cared about it. Since there is a meritorious Buddha, why do you worry about it? Take me so far away Call, let me see, I'd better go now."

"Chengxian!" Jin Chan called out, he seemed to get up and chase me, but was dragged back by the unconscious monkey.

"Huanxi...don't go..." the monkey said in his dream.

Ben Xianjun gave a meal.

Jin Chan said: "Since you are here, it's time for me to leave. Don't get me wrong, Wukong and I are not what you think."

"Hehe." Ben Xianjun gave a dry laugh and turned around, "What could Xiaoxian misunderstand? It is you, the holy monk, I am afraid that you misunderstood the relationship between me and the great sage."

"..." Jin Chan was startled slightly, then lowered her head and curled the corners of her mouth.He tried to pull his hand out of the monkey's palm, and said softly: "Wukong went to the Antarctic a few days ago, and wanted to find the Love Silk Grass to reconnect your love root, but he was hurt by the cold... He wanted to hide it from you, but I called you here on my own initiative."

"Huanxi, Huanxi..." The monkey frowned uncomfortably, and held onto Jin Chan's wrist tightly, until there were red marks around his slender wrist.

Ben Xianjun: "..."

"Wukong, Cheng Xianjun is here." Jin Chan lowered her body slightly, coaxing the monkey in a warm voice.He gently rubbed the monkey's fingers, trying to loosen his clenched fingers, "I found you, now you should let go of my hand?"

Jin Chan's tone was a little helpless and a little bit distressed, but to this fairy, he was still a little bit wronged.

"Hey..." Ben Xianjun sighed, walked to the bedside, and said, "Okay, okay, I'm here. Even people can admit their mistakes, so what do you want me to say?"

As he spoke, Ben Xianjun grabbed the monkey's hand.This time, his fingertips trembled because of the temperature of his fingers.His hand was always cold, but it was only cold. It had never been so cold that when it touched his skin, his sensitive nerves had a very clear tingling.

The monkey's brows gradually loosened, Jin Chan took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, pulled off his sleeve to cover the red marks on his wrist, and said softly: "The cold air invaded the lungs, I tried to use spiritual power to dissolve it, but it didn't seem to work. Maybe only you can save him."

Ben Xianjun sat where Jin Chanfang had sat, and said: "This is also one of the reasons why you asked the little monkey to invite me here today."

"I don't deny it." Jin Chan said flatly, "No matter how much you hate me in your heart, it has nothing to do with Wukong. I hope you can save him."

"Hate you?" Ben Xianjun bloomed a golden peach blossom on his fingertips, slowly rubbed the petals with his thumb, and said lightly: "How could it be? What do I hate you for? I was stupid back then, you said I believe in whatever. However, in the final analysis, these are only matters between me and the Great Sage. Although you, the Holy Monk, have mixed in a little bit, you are at most contributing to the flames. The one who makes the final decision is still him, isn’t it? ?”

Jin Chan said: "Jin Tao, you should know that Wukong had no choice but to..."

"Since I have come, please go back to the meritorious Buddha." Ben Xianjun said: "According to the friendship between me and the Great Sage, Xiaoxian will not abandon him. Instead, you are here, Xiaoxian Shi I'm afraid it will be inconvenient when saving."

"..." Jin Chan seemed to have something to say, but seeing that the fairy had made up her mind, she had to keep silent for the time being.He nodded, said "thank you", then turned and left.

A few little monkeys went out with Jin Chan, leaving only Xiao Zaizi and Xing Xing.

The little cub lay down on the edge of the bed restlessly, looked at the monkey, and then used his little claws to grab the layer of frost that had formed on his hair, and said worriedly: "Brother Huanxi, what happened to the king? There are so many frost flowers on his body."

"Go find someone to bring a few more braziers." Ben Xianjun said.

The little boy obeyed and hurried to set up the brazier.

Ben Xianjun's right hand was held by the monkey, so he had to twist a hot towel with his left hand to wipe the hoarfrost on his forehead.Under the frost layer, the monkey's face turned pale, its lips were blue and purple, and the cold came from the inside out, making the surrounding air seem to be a bit colder.Soon, the hot towels turned into cold towels.I was about to twist another one, when I turned around, Xingxing had handed over the replacement towel.

"So cute." Ben Xianjun smiled at him, took the towel and wiped the monkey's face, but saw Xing Xing staring at me without blinking.Feeling a little uncomfortable being seen, Ben Xianjun asked: "What's the matter, what do you see me doing?"

"Nothing." Xing Xing said with red eyes, "I'm just happy. If the king knows that you are taking care of him now, he will be very happy. He has been saying your name for the past few days, but you don't come. We Everyone is afraid that you will ignore the king, and they are also afraid that he will mention you to Jin Chan every day, which will annoy Jin Chan, and Jin Chan will ignore my king."

"How could it be?" Ben Xianjun found his worry very funny: "At any time, Jin Chan will never ignore your king."

"What about you?" Star asked.

Ben Xianjun was stunned: "I..."

Xing Xing said: "Brother Huanxi, I'm afraid. The king is no longer from the West Heaven Court, he is no longer a god. You say, if the West Heaven Court people ignore him, Jin Chan ignores him, and you don't want him either. He was injured or sick, we are all little monkeys, we don't know anything, who will take care of him? I'm afraid that one day, the king will be gone, leaving us... just like that time 2000 years ago, how? manage?"

"What 2000 years ago?" Ben Xianjun said: "Don't talk stupidly, your king loves you the most, you are his relatives, why would he not want you?"

"No." Xing Xing rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said, "It was that time, after you played cuju with us, you said you were going down the mountain and came back at night, and the king went after you. But he failed to chase you back, and He came back by himself a few days later. When he came back, he had more than 3000 wounds on his body. Most of his soul was broken, and the blood was almost drained. Only then did he know that he wanted to die. At that time, we also thought that the king was going to die. But he is still alive, and he has a golden black mark on his body."

As he said that, Xing Xing stretched out his hand and pulled the monkey's clothes a little, revealing the seal of the fallen Buddha below his collarbone, pointed it to me, and said, "This is it. This thing always hurts the heart of the king. It was at that time that the king also started to wear it." We don’t want us anymore, he built two graves in the back mountain, and he sleeps in the coffin every day, and he refuses to see anyone, and we are not allowed to go near the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain.”

"He..." Ben Xianjun was a little confused, the black mark was branded on the monkey's excessively white skin, which looked particularly glaring.I lightly covered the "卍" character with my fingertips, and I said in a muffled voice, "Did he ever say, why is this Seal of the Fallen Buddha on his body?"

"We asked, but the king refused to tell." Xing Xing shook his head, "He only stays at the back mountain every day, and when his heart hurts, he goes to Taolin to dig a jar of wine, saying that he is drunk, so he won't feel any pain. It hurts, and the time will pass faster. But one day, when the last pot of wine was left, the king refused to drink any more."

"The last altar?"

"Yeah." Xing Xing ran out and came back soon, with a wine jug in his arms.He said, "This is it."

"!" Ben Xianjun was startled, and took the altar of wine with trembling hands.

After 2000 years, the wine jar has become mottled, but the sealing mud is intact.It turned out to be the Peach Blossom Drunk that I planted together with Brother Changliu!

"The king said that before you left, you brewed a thousand altars of peach blossoms for him. At first, he thought that you would come back after drinking the wine. But when there was only one jar left, he was afraid. Afraid of the wine No one has returned, if so, he really has no last thought."

Ben Xianjun was holding the altar of wine, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.At this time, the monkey was shivering from the cold and coughing softly.Ben Xianjun was so angry that he scolded him with red eyes: "What are you thinking, it sounds nice! I used to like you so much when you were holding you, your face smelled like anything, and you didn't care about me." Ignore it. Now that I’ve learned to be smart, I don’t want you anymore, so you’re torturing yourself again! Stinky monkey! Are you torturing yourself, or tormenting me?”

"Brother Huanxi." Seeing me suddenly swearing, Xing Xing immediately became uneasy, carefully grabbed my sleeve corner, and said carefully, "You...Are you okay? Are you angry with the king?"

"I'm not angry, if I'm angry with him, I'm going to die of anger a long time ago!" Ben Xianjun took a deep breath and said with a fake smile.Put the wine jar back into Xing Xing's arms, and then gently pushed him: "Let's not talk about it, go and see, why hasn't the brat brought you the brazier?"

"Yeah." Xing Xing responded and ran out quickly.

When the person left, Ben Xianjun looked at the pitiful monkey on the bed, couldn't help but gritted his teeth and pinched his forearm severely.Xu Shizhen pinched him, and the monkey frowned and gave a soft "hum", its eyes rolled uneasily under its pale gold lids, its lips trembled, and it said something.

"?" Ben Xianjun leaned over and put his hands on his ears.

"Happy...I miss you..." The monkey's voice was a little choked, and his breath was cold, which condensed in the air, forming a white smoke.

Ben Xianjun lowered his eyes, leaned down a little more, almost pressed against his body, and said softly: "I am here."

"I'm sorry..." Shivering from the cold, and wanting to get closer to the heat source, the monkey instinctively stretched out its arms and hugged me in its arms.Ben Xianjun's limbs immediately became stiff, as if frozen by his icy body temperature.The monkey tilted his head, his slightly cool lips brushed against my ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "But I can't help it, Huanxi, at that time I can save so many people without you, I have no other choice..."

"I can save so many people without you, I have no other choice."

"..." There was a little wetness on Ben Xianjun's cheeks.But I'm sure, it's not me crying, it's the monkey.I lightly closed my eyes and let out a long sigh: "I know..."

Hearing him say these words with his own ears, this fairy was so distressed that he couldn't help himself for a while.But there are so many things, so many emotions, with the monkey's words and my sigh, they disappeared in an instant.

This fairy knows that the monkey has no choice but to do so.Even if he couldn't figure it out 2000 years ago, after 2000, I should be able to see it.For a long time, it was just that the fairy himself was "difficult to appease".I'm angry that he approached me to save Jin Chan, and I'm even more angry that he chose to abandon me to protect Jin Chan.

However, for 2000 years, I should have seen clearly——

Even if there was no Jin Chan back then, according to the monkey's temperament, in order to save the four thousand gods and Buddhas, he might still choose to abandon me.Besides, it's not entirely considered giving up. After all, he was willing to take out his soul in order to protect me. It's just that I was stupid and refused to take it.

"Huanxi, on the way to learn the scriptures, it's not that I don't love you... But I dare not respond to you. I just want you to stay away from the West Heavenly Court, Jin Chan, and me. Even if you will be sad for a while, I only want you Peace and safety..."

"Stop talking, I know." Ben Xianjun whispered.A delicate golden flower bud emerged, holding the monkey's face, and gently pressing against the monkey's frost-covered lips.

"Hmm..." The sweetness of the nectar easily made the monkey open his mouth unconsciously.

This fairy urges the spiritual power to make the flower bloom to the extreme, and finally condenses into a golden fruit the size of a fingernail.With a push of the tip of the tongue, it was put into the monkey's mouth without much effort.

Naturally, a small peach is not enough.But the monkey is now in a coma and has difficulty swallowing. The peach is too big to be stuck.Therefore, I can only feed them one by one.

I don't know how long it took and how many small peaches I fed to the monkeys.However, the frost layer on his body gradually melted, and his body temperature slowly returned to normal.Ben Xianjun couldn't produce another extra peach, but felt that his body was so tired that he wanted to lie down and have a rest.

"Brother Huanxi, the brazier is here. General Huotou is not here, so we light up the fire by ourselves. It's a bit late." The brazier came with someone to bring the brazier, and called everyone to put the brazier next to the bed to form a circle.He patted the soot on his hands and said, "Look, these braziers are enough... ah!"

"Hush——" Ben Xianjun supported the bed, straightened up with difficulty, turned his head to silence the little boy, and said softly: "Your king is fine, he is... sleeping, and it may take a long time to wake up. Don't disturb him, let him sleep."

"Brother Huanxi, you...your arm..." The little brat saw something, looked like he was about to cry, and backed away in fright.The few little monkeys who came in with him also looked at me in horror.

This fairy felt strange, so he lowered his head and followed their line of sight, only to see that my entire left arm was pale gold, and it had gradually become transparent.

"Brother Huanxi, what's the matter with you?" The little boy came back to his senses, and hurried forward, wanting to touch my arm, but unexpectedly, his hand passed through it as if touching the air.Now, his face really changed, and he was about to cry, he said, "What should I do, are you injured?"

"It's okay, just take a rest." Ben Xianjun hurriedly comforted him: "Look, your king's injury is healed, you should be happy, don't cry."

"You asked us to hold the brazier just now, did you want to send us away and exchange your life for my king?" the little boy asked.

"..." Ben Xianjun said with a smile: "It's not so serious to change your life, I'm fine. The reason why I let you go is because I want to talk to each other to save your king. If you are here... well, hehe, I will be embarrassed Well."

"Is it really because of embarrassment?" The little boy looked at Ben Xianjun suspiciously.

"Naturally, I will be really embarrassed." Ben Xianjun nodded, blushing at the right time.

The little brat was still a little worried, and pointed at this fairy's arm: "Then, can your arm return?"

"Yes!" Ben Xianjun said with a smile, trying to force some spiritual power into his left arm, so that the transparency became lower, and showed him, "It's better now than before, don't you think?"

"Yeah!" The brat finally felt relieved.

Ben Xianjun raised his right hand and patted his head, got up and said: "Okay, since he is fine, I will go first. When he wakes up, don't say I have been here."

"Why?" The brat held me back.

Ben Xianjun knocked on his forehead and said with a smile: "There are so many reasons, just do it. Otherwise...cough, otherwise I will never talk to you or your king again."

The little brat rubbed his forehead that hurt from the beating, and said with a pursed mouth, "Okay, then...Brother Huanxi, be careful on the road."

Ben Xianjun came out of Shuilian Cave and didn't stay for a moment. He wanted to call a cloud and sit back to Xishan.But after reciting the formula a few times, not to mention the clouds, even the fog is just a thin layer, which will dissipate in an instant when it is exposed to the sun.I had no choice but to walk down the mountain.

It's just that Huaguo Mountain is far away from the West Mountain, and my steps are getting heavier and heavier. Although I can save some energy by taking a shortcut, it will be half a day before I reach the foot of the West Mountain.

Ben Xianjun's eyes turned black, his legs were like lead, and he was spinning for a while, almost falling down.At this time, someone supported me and said: "Your Majesty, you are back, Jin Chan is here, and I have been waiting for you in the house for a long time."

"..." Ben Xianjun calmed down and took a few more breaths. After seeing Zitong standing next to him, he finally relaxed from the nervousness all the way. He didn't listen carefully to what he said, so his legs softened and he looked at him Fall over.
