[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

"Is Ruyi the amulet you put on me?" Ben Xianjun shook his wrist, and Ruyi and Banruo collided with each other, making a very pleasant sound.

The monkey moved the index finger of his left hand slightly, and a faint red thread immediately appeared between my two fingers.Gently, he touched this fairy with his fingertips, and said: "Although 'Changliu' and I were two-hearted, but when you were with him, I still made me jealous. Marriage or love—he What is given to you is the best, why not what you gave to him? Congratulations, there are some things that you and I both know will never go back. "

"..." Ben Xianjun couldn't tell for a moment whether the monkey was joking or serious.How can anyone be jealous of himself?But anyway, just one word - "coax".So he clasped his fingers with him, smoothed his hair with the other hand, and said with a smile: "If you can't go back, you can't go back. If you can't go back, it's the same to start over. Today, just now, I will give you a golden hairpin, and you will give me back what you want. In this way, you and Brother Changliu will be considered even."

The monkey was stunned, smiled and sighed, pinched the tip of the fairy's nose and said, "Absurd."

"Why is it unreasonable? Hmph." Ben Xianjun opened the monkey's hand, wrinkled his nose, and adjusted a comfortable posture to lie down again.

The monkey lay down on its side, took this fairy into its arms and hugged it gently, smiled, and said with some seriousness: "Huanxi, even if I want to put you on the tip of my heart to protect you, after all, I can't be with you all the time. By your side. You promised me to wear Ruyi all the time, even if you can't take it off for a second. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that one day I will..."

"Major Sage Equaling Heaven, would you be afraid?" Ben Xianjun put his index finger on his mouth and didn't let him continue.For some reason, subconsciously, this fairy is not willing to hear the next words—it is nothing more than fear that one day I will be too busy to take care of me.

The monkey must have seen what this fairy was thinking, and said, "Don't think too much."

Ben Xianjun looked at him and said softly: "Jin Chan has been here."

The monkey didn't mean to evade, nor did it look surprised, and said flatly, "Did the monkeys tell you?"

"I guessed it myself." Ben Xianjun smiled: "Besides, you didn't mean to hide it from me deliberately. There are two cups of warm tea on the table. I just need to think a little bit to know who has been here. After all There are not many customers who come to Huaguoshan frequently."

"Should I praise you for being smart or should I praise you for being smart?" The monkey laughed.

"Great Sage Miao Zan." Ben Xianjun pretended to be polite, and then asked: "Since he is here, why don't you let him stay, but let him go back to the west alone? You should be more aware of the situation in the west now than I am. It is."

The monkey asked, "Did the Jade Emperor tell you everything?"

"Well." Ben Xianjun nodded: "Although the situation in front of me is extremely bad, it is better to understand the situation than to be kept in the dark."

"..." The monkey's eyes flashed, so fast that he couldn't figure it out.He said: "It's not that I didn't keep Jin Chan, but because he heard you came and insisted on leaving."

"Well, it's no wonder that when I entered the cave, the tea on the table was still hot. It turned out that Jin Chan left in a hurry after hearing me and the little boy." Ben Xianjun said: "Before I want to come He still can't let go of those old things, so he will try his best to avoid me."

"What about you?" The monkey gently rubbed the fairy's cheek with its fingertips, and asked softly, "Huanxi, do you still hate him?"

"Hate? Maybe I hated once. But I hate myself more than hating him. In fact, more often than not, I don't know who I should hate. It seems that no one has done anything wrong. Jin Chan is not wrong, you are not wrong , I, I don’t seem to have done anything wrong. But the ending is like this, it’s already like this. Who should I hate? Forget it. I want to let go.”

I don't understand why the monkey suddenly asked this question and used the word "hate". I always thought that I should be a role model in the three worlds in his heart. I didn't expect him to use such a sharp word. One word to describe me.

But Ben Xianjun still answered truthfully, so the monkey was full of distress.He hugged me for a long time without saying a word, until I fell asleep in his arms.

In the lower realm, I have become used to having monkeys guarding me when I sleep, so that after returning to the West Mountain, I feel a little awake when I sleep alone. To wake up.Today, I spent some energy in the Pantao Garden during the day. Although it is not harmful to my body, I am somewhat tired, so when I touched the monkey's body, I quickly closed my eyelids.

"Could it be that you came here to sleep beside me on a special trip?" Ben Xianjun fell asleep, the monkey was quite helpless, took a blanket and put it on his belly, and sighed softly in Ben Xianjun's ear : "Through thousands of years of twists and turns, you are the most innocent person. And the most hateful one is me. Not only you should hate me, Jiang Liuer, but he should also hate me."

When I woke up, it was almost noon the next day.

I don't know when he was carried back to Shuilian Cave by the monkey, and the white tiger skin mattress was spread under him.The monkey wasn't there, but he didn't go far either.Through the curtain, he could hear his deliberately low voice, as if he was telling the boys to go to the back mountain to pick some fruits that the Immortal Lord loves, wash them and send them here.

This time I slept for a long time, and even had a dream.I dreamed that the monkey didn't call Jin Chan "Jin Chan" or "Master", but called him "Jiang Liuer"—Xuan Zang's baby name.But it seems that it is not a dream, but the three words that this fairy heard in a daze before going to bed.

Ben Xianjun got off the bed with bare feet, walked outside the curtain to find the monkey, passed a water mirror, and accidentally saw a hazy mist in the mirror from the corner of his eye, which did not look like any ground in the Three Realms.This scene is so familiar to me, because from the beginning of my spiritual consciousness to being taken to the Pantao Garden by the Jade Emperor, I have been guarding such a cloud of fog for tens of thousands of years. The hometown of Xianjun, Chaos Realm.

I have seen this mirror before, it is just an ordinary vanity mirror, how can it reflect other things?

Ben Xianjun was curious for a while, so he couldn't help going to look.At this time, the mist in the mirror lightened, and a golden crooked-necked peach tree gradually emerged, which was actually the real body of this fairy.And a beetle was slowly climbing up the tree trunk at a height of one person.However, because the image in the mirror was too small, I couldn't tell what kind of insect it was for a while.

Just as he was about to pick up the mirror and take a closer look, the monkey opened the curtain and came in.At this very moment, the mirror returned to normal, reflecting the side face of this fairy.

The monkey thought that the fairy was looking in the mirror, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and said, "I don't see you looking in the mirror—what's the matter today, you look in the mirror before you wash your face?"

Ben Xianjun was not in the mood to make a joke, so he showed him the mirror and asked, "My lord, is this mirror the one that was placed on the table before?"

"Naturally." The monkey nodded, seeing the dignified expression of the Immortal Lord, he said: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's nothing, maybe I fell asleep and got dazed, and my vision was wrong." Ben Xianjun lowered his eyes and said, wiping the mirror with his sleeve, intending to put it back in place.

Unexpectedly, when the fingertips touched the mirror, they felt a piercing chill, so they shook the mirror and threw it to the ground, breaking it.Ben Xianjun was briefly stunned by the coolness, and when I came back to my senses, I had subconsciously squatted down to pick up the pieces, and I heard the monkey's urgent call in a trance.

"Happy." The monkey flicked away the fragments of the mirror, squatted down and pulled my hand, saw the deep bone wound on the second joint of the index finger, said half complaining and half distressed: "Why are you out of your mind, look, finger They were all torn apart. How can a majestic celestial being be hurt by a mortal thing?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Ben Xianjun smiled with a guilty conscience, withdrew his hand, and put it on his mouth to suck away the dirty blood, but he kept muttering in his heart: Is it just a momentary illusion of this fairy or something else?

But this is Huaguo Mountain, the territory of monkeys, even if someone wants to play wild, they dare not choose such a place, right?Otherwise, how big is this person's heart? !So I must have thought too much about it.

The monkey found some wound medicine and applied some medicine to the fairy, and then carefully bandaged it.When the wound no longer hurts, I will forget about it.Maybe the phrase "forget the pain when the scar is healed" refers to this fairy.

Soon the boy brought someone a fruit plate made of freshly picked fruits, which was regarded as my fairy's breakfast.Afterwards, I played two rounds of Cuju with these little monkeys, and the monkeys and I led a team to fight against each other.As for the result of the competition, I will not say clearly. In short, I focused on participating, and everyone had a good time.

When it was almost evening, the little boy went to prepare dinner again.Ben Xianjun remembered that he had to go to Pantaoyuan every day to save the spiritual power and Yuanshen for the wild pepper tree, and he had to hide this matter from the monkey, because he had never allowed this Xianjun to give away the Yuanshen to others.So he didn't stay for a meal, so he left in a hurry.

"I didn't tell Zitong when I came here. I sneaked out. I haven't returned all night, so he should be worried if he doesn't go back."

The monkey thought that the Immortal Lord would stay for a few days this time, but he didn't expect that I would leave in a hurry.He sent me to the foot of the mountain all the time, until I walked a long way, and when I turned around, I could still see him standing motionless at the mountain pass and staring at me deeply.

"Like a watcher's stone!"

Ben Xianjun suddenly remembered a sentence that Zitong described monkeys a long time ago.Today he is wearing a red dress again, time has changed, just like the first time I saw him.With a hot heart, this fairy almost burst into tears.Standing high in the clouds, I waved to the monkey and signaled him not to stand for too long, it was time to go back to the Water Curtain Cave.At worst, I will come back tomorrow, and the distance is not too far anyway.

"Be careful on the road." The monkey said, "Remember what you promised me, don't take Ruyi off."

Ben Xianjun didn't know when he became so verbose, and kept smiling and waving his hands: "I know, I know, you go back quickly. I'll come back tomorrow. If I can't come tomorrow, I will come the day after tomorrow—or when you are free, go Xishan can come to me. My new house is magnificent, and when the busy time is over, you can also move to my house for a few days. Zitong and I are very welcome to you."

I found that you said goodbye to me like this, and I never finished saying goodbye.Since no one was willing to turn around first, this fairy thought of an idea.

"Brother Changliu, I'll count one, two, three, let's turn around together, and then no one is allowed to turn back, so it's all over, right?"

"Okay." The monkey thought it was reasonable.

"One"

"two"

When I counted to "three", the monkey and I turned around at the same time.But after walking a certain distance, I couldn't help turning my head back, like a child playing hide-and-seek, wanting to peek at my companion for cheating.

Sure enough, the monkey cheated.He still didn't leave, just stood there looking at me.

Looking at each other, they were all taken aback for a moment, and then smiled at the same time.

"If you don't want to leave, it's okay to stay one more night. I'll send someone to your house to deliver a message to Zitong." The monkey stretched out his hand, palm up, and said with a smile, "Come back."

Ben Xianjun really wanted to go back, and even more wanted to put my finger on the palm of the monkey, but remembering what I said to the old wolfberry, I shook my head, pursed my lower lip, and said: "Another day. Then, I'm leaving."

The monkey shrank his fingers, but he didn't continue to hold back. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Go, I'll watch you go."

This time, Ben Xianjun did not look back.But I still feel the monkey's scorching eyes following me all the time, as far as the ends of the earth.
