[Journey to the West] Show mercy

?Qi Shen forced herself to like this ending—she became a fairy, and Sun Wukong became a Buddha to save all sentient beings. They all obtained boundless mana that surpassed the world. Isn't it the best?But she couldn't laugh at all.

She knew how much she regretted it—but she was ashamed of it.Regret is produced by the selfish desire in her heart, and its source is selfishness.

But selfishness is exactly what she desperately craves.Yeah, what about selfishness?She knows Son Goku likes her more or less...if she had the guts to ask...would he say no?Maybe not.

Something was engulfing her rationality bit by bit, and the positive thoughts that she had managed to force herself to build up instantly disintegrated, leaving only a strong desire to reverse the past.But the past cannot be changed - what should she do?

"Go to him," said a little voice inside, "go to him and explain everything to him...then you can be together."

"But becoming a Buddha..." Qi Chen felt a little confused.

"Did he look happy when he became a Buddha?" the voice asked.Qi Shen shook his head.The voice said again: "That's it. He is not very willing to become a Buddha. But are you willing to become an immortal?" Qi Chen shook his head again.

"It's a simple question." The voice seemed to be chuckling, "You go to him, that's it."

Qi Chen vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple.If the Buddha violated the precepts and the immortals violated the immortal rules, is it as simple as not becoming a Buddha or immortal?But that voice seemed to have a huge temptation, making her nod her head.

She suddenly turned around and ran back, as if she had exhausted her entire life's strength, being drawn by a strong desire in her heart, she wanted to reach out and grab a straw in the vast sea.She saw that Monkey King was still standing at the foot of Lingshan, while the others seemed to have left.He was looking up the hill with his back to her.

"Great Sage." Qi Shen stood still, and said behind him, "Great Sage, I like you. I like you very much."

The other party didn't move for a long time, making Qi Chen almost think he didn't hear.Just when she was about to shout again, Monkey King moved and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, Qi Chen." He said slowly, "It's too late. I've already entered Buddhism, and I have nothing else to do."

Qi Chen bit her lip hard, as if she was about to bleed.

"Besides, I'm not a great sage anymore." Sun Wukong turned around and gave her the Buddhist ceremony, "I am fighting against the Buddha."

Qi Chen suddenly laughed - this was no longer the Monkey King she was familiar with, the unruly Monkey King.This... is not him.That Monkey King...has disappeared.

She laughed hard, like crazy, until she started coughing, like coughing up her entire chest.She felt a buzzing in her ears, and suddenly her chest lightened, and she opened her eyes.

There were not many rays of light in the dark forest, but the only few rays of light were completely blocked by the person in front of him.

"Are you alright! What's the dream again?" The anxious and familiar voice came from next to his ear, making Qi Chen tremble all over.Was that just a dream?But that seemed more real than reality—more terrifying.

"Great Sage." Qi Chen whispered, as if a piece of cotton was stuck in her throat, she could only utter a few syllables.

"Here it is." Hearing Qi Chen's voice, Sun Wukong thought she was going to cry again, "You are really too timid, you will be so frightened after staying in the black forest for a while..."

Qi Chen was still sitting on the ground, and Sun Wukong stood in front of her, so she hugged his leg.Originally, she hadn't thought of crying, but when Sun Wukong reminded her, she suddenly felt terrified in her heart, and she couldn't help being terrified when she thought of the dream just now.Monkey King patted her on the back, and she coughed a few more times, but she noticed that black smoke was faintly coming out of her mouth while she was coughing!

"My lord," she asked tremblingly, "you...why is there smoke coming out of my mouth?"

"That's a nightmare." A voice suddenly came from the front, Qi Chen looked out and saw that Guanyin Bodhisattva was walking slowly.She and Sun Wukong are busy visiting the Bodhisattva.The Bodhisattva explained: "In this black forest there is a monster named Nightmare, which invades people's dreams and turns them into what they fear most, making them deeply trapped in it. If there is no one to rescue them, those who have been caught by the nightmare will be Create a demon in the dream and become a slave of the nightmare. The nightmare sucks the fear generated in the nightmare as its own cultivation. Fortunately, Wukong repelled him before he fell into the trick of the nightmare, and went to find me again, and he fell into the nightmare You who have spells wake up."

"The elder is also awake?" Qi Chen asked, "When I turned my head, he suddenly disappeared."

"We all fell into his plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!" Sun Wukong said angrily, "He left us and took the opportunity to invade the dream one by one. Master is fine now, and he is hardly affected by the nightmare."

"As expected of Jin Chanzi." Qi Chen praised, trying to cover up the truth of his dream.

"What did you dream about?" Sun Wukong asked her curiously, "It can't be the bull's head and horse face in the underworld, right? No, you and them are both ghosts and relatives, so you shouldn't be afraid."

Qi Shen wasn't in the mood to talk to him, and just let out a weak "tss".She really almost became a demon in her dream, but fortunately Sun Wukong woke her up - something might go wrong later.The most urgent task now is how to prevent the scene in her dream from happening... how to prevent her from going to this terrible ending.

"Qi Chen," Guanyin called her suddenly, "you follow me."

Qi Chen followed Guanyin Bodhisattva to a quiet place in the forest. "Qi Chen," Guanyin said seriously, "Do you know that the seal in your body has been completely released?"

Qi Chen was startled: "But this seal is not only available at Lingshan..."

Avalokitesvara looked serious: "Before you almost generated a demon, and the generation of the demon happened to be interrupted by Wukong at that moment. The strong mana impact when the demon was generated broke the last part of the seal that was already weak. Now you The mana in the body is no different from yours in the past, but due to the damage of the soul, the fit will be worse."

"Xie Pusa for your guidance!" Qi Chen saluted, "Bodhisattva, Qi Chen has something to report."

"But it has something to do with your demons?"

"That's right." Qi Chen felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead, "Since the seal has been released, please allow me to stop traveling westward and return to the Heavenly Court. But it may take tens of thousands of years. But Qi Shen is willing to exchange tens of thousands of years for a few years to leave early. "

"Why?"

"Qi Shen's afraid... I can't fulfill the promise I made."

The Bodhisattva smiled faintly: "But it has something to do with the monkey head?" Seeing Qi Chen nodded, he continued, "Since it was your choice, then so be it. I will explain to them the nightmare spell to help you recover Once you have obtained the mana, you have achieved the purpose of this trip, and you can return to the Heavenly Court."

Qi Chen knelt down to thank the Bodhisattva, bit his lips with his teeth, and tasted the salty taste.Tongue licked the wound, bringing a trace of sharp pain.She made sure she was fully awake at this point, and she believed that what she was doing now was to ensure the best possible outcome.

Get out of here before she gets any deeper.Get out of this place.

Leave Monkey King.

Stay away...regret. ?
