[Journey to the West] Monkey, be good

"Cheng Xianjun——" Ben Xianjun just stepped into the gate of Pantao Garden, and before he could stand firmly, he heard the voice of old wolfberry from the corner.For some reason, his voice was a little hoarse than yesterday, and the elongated ending sounded like he was hesitant to speak.

"How is it, is Jiaojiao's body better?" Ben Xianjun asked as he walked, and when he got closer, he saw that the branches of the wild pepper had softened and showed some signs of regeneration, and he was very relieved.

Old wolfberry shook his body with the wind, "It's better, Mr. Cheng Xian, thank you. But, you, you go quickly."

"Go? Where are you going?" Ben Xianjun said with a smile: "Didn't it be agreed yesterday that today I will help Miss Jiaojiao's spirit power and Yuanshen? I haven't done anything yet, how can I go?"

As he spoke, Ben Xianjun stretched out his hand to pinch a branch of Jiaojiao, but the place where the index finger was scratched by the mirror under the white gauze suddenly hurt.Ben Xianjun shrank his fingers instinctively, and stared at his fingers with a frown in doubt—the monkey was bandaged carefully, and even tied a bow tie for him—fiddled with the bow, and Ben Xianjun couldn't help but smile.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Old Wolfberry suddenly became nervous.

"It's okay, I just accidentally scratched it." Ben Xianjun said warmly, narrowed his eyes, and raised his hand to condense the spiritual power on his fingertips.

"Hey!" Old wolfberry cried out.

Ben Xianjun paused, turned his head to look at him, frowned and said: "Why are you so surprised today, did you hit the evil or was your head lowered?"

"..." Old Goji Qi opened his mouth and tangled his unattractive face into the word "囧", as if he had struggled for a long time before he said softly, "I'm sorry..."

"Huh?" Ben Xianjun was a little puzzled, and then thought that the other party might be apologizing because he had consumed his soul in order to save his sweetheart, so he waved his hand very generously and said, "If you really take me When you're a friend, don't say anything more polite. You said enough yesterday."

However, this fairy was wrong.When the fingertips touched the dead branches of wild salamanders, Ben Xianjun only felt a white light flash in front of his eyes, and the pain in the back of his mind was so painful that he couldn't control himself.

"You, you actually—heh—" Ben Xianjun couldn't laugh or cry, sighed, and said softly: "I was plotted by you? Hey! I still treat you as a friend."

Before his consciousness fell into darkness, Ben Xianjun heard the old wolfberry's repeated apologies: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. He threatened Jiaojiao's life. I waited thousands of years to finally come to her, and I can't fail at this time. I have no other choice. If something happens to you, I will burn incense and worship you every day when I become an adult!"

he?who?

"You believe in ancient scrolls and blue lanterns of gods and Buddhas, but why don't you see how your gods and Buddhas treat you? After reincarnation ten times, you only get a steamer and a thousand swords. It's ironic to think about it! Hahaha , don’t you complain, hate, or regret?”

Without even half of the strength in his body, there was a gentle and jade-like voice constantly hovering in this fairy's ear, making people unconsciously imagine what kind of character the owner of the voice should have.But what he said was extremely mocking and mean, like a sharp knife, piercing the heart to the extreme.

Ben Xianjun thought he had heard the word "Reincarnation of Ten Worlds", so he opened his eyes with all his might.The light is very dim, like an underground cave, and there is a faint red-blue flame coming from the extreme depths of the cave.Although this immortal gentleman saw it for the first time in this life, he also knew that the light was the raging fire of karma burning in the Infernal Land——

This is the place where the gods and Buddhas seal the "Smiling Scholar", Avi Hell.

At this moment, the surroundings are dark, only a faint spiritual light flows around a golden lotus platform in the center.Sitting on the stage was a man in plain clothes and cassock, with his palms folded and his eyes closed, he was as lonely as a stone statue carved from ice.

It was Jin Chan!

In front of Jin Chan stood a cyan phantom, whose facial features could not be seen clearly, only a rough outline.He looks like a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, and speaks slowly and with meanness.

Ben Xianjun remembered what the old man Jade Emperor said to me:

The "Smiling Scholar" has a smiling face like a spring breeze, seemingly gentle and harmless to humans and animals, but you must always remember that the place where he was born is the dirtiest place in the world——

Human heart.

The Jade Emperor said that people have seven emotions, and the world has eight sufferings, but wherever there are people, there will be desires, and desires will generate evil spirits.The Smiling Scholar was transformed by the evil in the hearts of the Buddhas in the Western Paradise, and was born of the desires of the world.Therefore, although he is still just a shadow, he is everywhere, and he is the best at attacking the mind.

Right now, it seems that it was none other than this "smiling scholar" who brought me here.And he not only kidnapped this fairy, but also captured Jin Chan.This person is really greedy, one is not enough, yet he wants two?

However, I soon understood why he captured Jin Chan first, and then came to capture me.Because of Jin Chan's stubborn and stubborn temper, he has always been proud of the "mind attack" that can drag even the Tathagata into the water, but it hit a wall with Jin Chan and became difficult to use.

I saw Jin Chan sitting upright, eyes closed, silently reciting the Heart Sutra.No matter what the other party said, he turned a deaf ear and remained unmoved.

Because of the grievance 2000 years ago, Jin Chan is no longer the holy monk who is like a lotus and does not cause dust when I first met in my heart. I have even forgotten what he looks like when he is really cold.

Seeing that he has no distractions at this moment, he suddenly feels in a trance that the former Jin Chan has returned—such a strong concentration is definitely not something that ordinary people who are struggling in the world of mortals can possess.

However, even if the smiling scholar is an evil thing born from the "human heart", it is not the heart of ordinary people, but the exquisite heart of gods and Buddhas.

Buddhas need to be able to read and break characters, recite scriptures, talk about Zen, and talk about the Tao. They are all educated people, so scholars are also educated people;

So Jin Chan ignored him, and he was not annoyed, and said slowly: "Even if you sealed your five senses, do you think I can't do anything about you? As long as I think about it, there are a thousand ways to make you feel better." You heard what I was saying."

"..." Ben Xianjun only thought that Jin Chan had his concentration, but it turned out that he had sealed his sense of hearing, so he couldn't hear what the scholar was saying at all.

But having said that, I have been in captivity for so long, and this scholar has not even looked at me, which inevitably makes me feel disappointed——Am I so inferior to Jin Chan? It's not worth it When let him pay attention to me?

The scholar was talented in writing, and he continued to say: "Jin Chan, you said that you sacrificed yourself to feed the Buddha to save all living beings. But when have you ever opened your eyes to see the sentient beings you saved and how did they reward you?"

"..." Jin Chan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

The scholar continued indifferently: "In the first life, you rescued a frozen poisonous snake, but it bit you back; in the second life, you rescued a wounded white tiger, but it tore a three-year-old child Children; the third generation, you rescued a fleeing robber, but after returning to the village, he ransacked [-] families in the town, leaving no survivors for the women, children, old and weak; the fourth generation..."

As the scholar came slowly, Jin Chan Junxiu's brows became deeper and deeper, and the speed of chanting became faster and faster.At the beginning, it was silently chanting, but at this moment, it gradually became audible, and I could clearly hear that he was chanting the "Guanyin Heart Sutra".

"Fifth world, you are a prince, you are merciful, sympathetic to the people, cut taxes, opened warehouses to provide disaster relief. In all dynasties, no more compassionate and virtuous monarch can be found than you. However, on the day the country was destroyed, in order to protect yourself, you personally Who hung you upside down on the city tower, and was tortured by thousands of arrows piercing through the heart and burning? It is your dearest and most beloved people! It is all the sentient beings that you want to save!"

The smiling scholar told all of Jin Chan's past, but hearing this, the fairy felt chills in his heart.This fairy knows that Jin Chan's ideal is to "save all living beings", and also knows that Jin Chan has experienced nine lives before being reincarnated as "Jiang Liu'er".But I never thought that Jin Chan's first nine lives would be so miserable, and so--failure.

Not only failed, but stupid; stupid, but respectable.

At this time, Jin Chan's shoulders suddenly trembled slightly, and two lines of blood slowly flowed from his ears. It must be that the scholar played a role in his "heart attack".Ben Xianjun's heart tightened unconsciously, and he began to worry about him-before, Ben Xianjun was thin and generous, but now that he heard about Jin Chan's past, he couldn't hate him even more.

Seeing that it worked, the scholar continued: "Sixth World, you have pity on a deaf and blind beggar, and are willing to exchange your life with him. So, you became a blind beggar who was covered in pus and everyone screamed for beatings, and he became an incomparably rich man. Huizhou merchants. But in the end, he oppressed the people and colluded with officials and businessmen, how many people were directly or indirectly killed?!"

"..." Jin Chan remained silent, but blood dripped from his nasal cavity, and soon the white skirt of his chest turned red.

"Even if you seal the five senses, it's useless! Because even if I don't say anything, you know it very well in your heart. You know that what I say is right! Human nature is evil! All pure goodness is a disguise for evil, The difference between a good person and a bad person is nothing more than the difference between pretending to be like and pretending not to be! You can’t save sentient beings, even—you can’t save anyone at all! Jin Chan, admit it, you are just so incompetent!”

"Uh—" As if greatly shocked, Jin Chan's face turned pale.He suddenly stretched out his hands to cover his ears tightly, but blood still overflowed from between his fingers.

Seven orifices bleeding!

Ben Xianjun suddenly understood what Jin Chan was doing just now.In order to fight against the scholar, he sealed his five sense organs.But now that the seal was forcibly destroyed by the scholar, it was his five senses that were correspondingly destroyed.That is to say, if the treatment is not timely, he will not be able to hear, see, smell, speak, or feel from now on!

"Jin Chan! Stop it!" Ben Xianjun said anxiously: "Stop forcing yourself! Let him say what he likes to say! You have done a good job, I think you have done a good job! No matter what Save the snake or save the tiger, or be a prince or a beggar!"

Jin Chan was bleeding profusely, and the expression on her face was the extreme calm revealed after the extreme pain was suppressed.Originally, he couldn't read the scriptures anymore, but when he heard the words of this fairy, he was slightly shocked, sat upright again, and continued to chant the scriptures.

The smiling scholar just remembered the existence of this fairy, and turned his head to glance at this fairy.Because it's a phantom, I can't see the expression clearly, but Ben Xianjun intuitively feels that he is laughing and laughing.He said: "What are you pretending for? You may hate him so much in your heart. You wish that he would lose his five senses, and wish that he would die. You have hated him for 500 years. Why, you have forgotten the feeling of not being able to love him." Is it gone?"

"..." Ben Xianjun was at a loss, and didn't understand why the topic suddenly came to me.And which dog eye of this scholar is "wishful" to see this fairy?For this kind of nonsense, don't pay attention to let him talk to himself, it's best to exhaust him to death.

So Ben Xianjun ignored the scholar, but continued to say to Jin Chan: "Jin Chan, I believe that as smart as you are, you must have imagined all the possibilities before making every choice. You know that you Your goodwill may be disappointed; knowing that even the purest heart may be mixed with some dirty things, but you are still willing to try and embrace hope. I think you are very brave-if it were me, I really can't do better than you—no, I can't even do half of you."

"..." The chanting stopped again, and Jin Chan slowly opened her eyes.He turned his face to the direction of this fairy, and the originally cold eyes lost all expression - he was already blind, or, at least, he was about to be blind.

"..." Ben Xianjun wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't expect him to look at me suddenly.Especially the smile that slowly emerged from his mouth, like self-deprecating, but also like a moment of relief, made me a little bit at a loss for a while.In the end, he shut his mouth and laughed dryly, "Hehehe".

"Jin Tao, only you can always imagine me so well." Jin Chan said with a smile, a trace of blood slowly overflowing from the corner of her mouth.He wiped his mouth with the back of his bloody hand, and looked at me blankly, "But what he just said was wrong."

Ben Xianjun: "Huh?"

Jin Chan's voice gradually became hoarse, and she said with a smile: "It is true that I have reincarnated for ten lives, but not for the sake of saving sentient beings. In my whole life, the only person I want to save... is just one person."

"Long... stay?" Ben Xianjun doubted his ears: "You, mean the Great Sage?"

Jin Chan didn't answer, just smiled, and said softly: "Jin Tao, don't look down on yourself so much. Since you can win his heart, it means that you have done better than me."

"Hahaha, hahaha!" The smiling scholar suddenly laughed wildly, "Jinchan, you are finally willing to admit it! You are not a Buddha with six pure senses at all! You have all the seven emotions and six desires, and you have broken the eight precepts of Buddhism a long time ago. clean!"

Jin Chan sneered back and asked: "So what?" His voice was almost inaudible.

"I can't do anything." The smiling scholar said: "It's just that you guarded him for ten lives, but he didn't even look at you. And this ugly crooked neck tree only stayed with him for a day in the illusion of ten directions. I got something you couldn't ask for in ten lifetimes. Don't you think you should be jealous to the point of madness?"

Jin Chan said lightly: "How I treat him is up to me; if he can compare his heart to his heart, it is my luck; since he doesn't, I have nothing to envy in my heart. He likes golden peaches, and I like golden peaches myself." Tao. So - get out, don't sow discord here."

Jin Chan's words were deeply touching.But I have no time to ponder over it carefully, because the words of the smiling scholar are like magic voices, echoing in my mind:

"Jin Chan has guarded him for ten lives, ten lives, ten lives, ten lives, ten lives, ten lives, ten lives, ten lives - you will never know how long ten lives are, just as you will never know." I know how important the golden cicada was to the monkey in the past ten reincarnations. Therefore, it is you who should be jealous to the point of madness!"

The author has something to say: the next chapter is about the past of the three people. It is estimated that it will go back tens of thousands of years ago. When I know it (scared) (manual goodbye)
