MTL - The Monkey King-Chapter 727 :suspicion
At the foot of Lingshan, King Jizo walked up the long steps with half-rolled sleeves.
In the pavilion on the side of the stairs, Puxian stood quietly and alone, looking extraordinarily deserted.
Since he handed the Xingxin Iron Soldier to the six-eared macaque, he never stepped into the main hall of Daleiyin Temple again, but just stayed quietly on the way up the mountain. Silent, or rather, thinking.
Seeing the king of Dizang passing by, he folded his hands and bowed respectfully. Ksitigarbha also folded his hands together and returned the salute.
"Did Jizo Venerable go out and return?"
"Exactly."
"Where did you go?"
King Ksitigarbha sighed lightly and said, "I went to the lion and camel country. Patriarch Subhuti made a move, and wants to make a comeback on the six-eared macaque."
"Oh?" Puxian also smiled faintly and sighed: "This westward journey, is Xuanzang proving the Tao, or are we proving the Tao..."
Hearing this, Ksitigarbha King couldn't help but be taken aback.
The two looked at each other silently.
Puxian's eyes were full of helplessness. Ksitigarbha King frowned slightly.
"Does the Venerable Puxian think this is wrong?"
"The four Buddhist schools are all empty, where is the right or wrong?"
Hearing the words, the Ksitigarbha King said coldly: "The four elements are all empty, so naturally there is no right or wrong, but if you want to solve the mysteries of the Buddha Dharma, you must tell the truth. This matter is already on the string, and it has to be released!"
When said this, Puxian laughed instead. He nodded, but said nothing.
The atmosphere between the two seemed to be a little awkward.
was silent for a while. King Ksitigarbha said softly: "In the case of the six-eared macaque, the poor monk has been planning for a long time. Not to mention Subhuti, even if you add the old gentleman, I am afraid that it will not be able to do anything for a while. Venerable Samantabhadra does not follow the poor monk to the temple. ?"
"Don't go. Don't go. The hall is noisy." Puxian waved his hand and said: "The poor monk just waits here. Although Xuanzang didn't really get the point about asking for France, the poor monk thought that, Xuanzang has already found the point where he can prove the Tao, but he can't get in. If Xuanzang can really prove the Tao, he must go up the mountain from this. Just wait here."
"That's the case. The poor monk will say goodbye here." After saying that, King Ksitigarbha put his hands together and hurriedly passed by Puxian.
In the gazebo, Puxian was the only one left waiting quietly. Poker face.
…
In the three-star cave of the oblique moon, Subhuti was silent. The entire Hall of Concentration seemed to be silent.
As time went by, the smile on the six-eared macaque's face gradually solidified, turning into an uneasy look: "Could it be that even the master... can't figure it out?"
Subhuti glanced at the six-eared macaque. He said softly, "Yes."
"I also ask the master to teach me!" The six-eared macaque immediately kowtowed three times and said loudly: "Master is so kind and virtuous, I can't repay it. Six... Wukong is willing to be a cow and a horse for the master in this life!"
Subhuti lowered his eyebrows slightly and quietly watched the six-eared macaque crawling on the ground.
After a long time, he just sighed: "Get up."
"Master agreed?" The six-eared macaque looked up quickly.
"Since you called me a master, a teacher, you won't let your feet sink in the mud. But..."
The six-eared macaque opened its eyes slightly and looked at Subhuti.
patted his knee lightly and paused for a while. Subhuti then continued, "However, I can't tell you right now. There are some things that you don't know now, and it's far better than knowing."
"Can't you tell me?" The six-eared macaque was slightly taken aback.
Subhuti nodded, stroked his long beard and said, "Have you seen Qingxin?"
"I see, disciple... The disciple just sent her back."
"Who is Qingxin's past life, do you know?"
"Like a previous life. It's called a wind chime?"
"What about the past life of the wind chimes?"
"It's a bird."
"You know, what does the bird have to do with you?"
The six-eared macaque answered hesitantly, "Disciple...disciple promised to marry her, she died for the disciple, so...disciple has always wanted to resurrect her."
Subhuti nodded and said, "It seems that you all know it."
"This disciple is only half-understood." The six-eared macaque scratched its head and said, "My memory is all gone. So, I also heard it from others. I just know that there is such a thing. Master, you suddenly mentioned this, yes What are you doing? You want the disciples to fulfill their promises?"
Hearing this, Subhuti couldn't help laughing, and sighed helplessly: "It's your own business to keep your promises or not, why do you manage these things for the teacher? What the teacher wants to ask you is, did you know that eight hundred years ago, you The reason for leaving the Xieyue Samsung Cave?"
The six-eared macaque shook his head slowly, the more he listened, the more confused he became.
"It's just one word, doubt!" Subhuti lifted his sleeves, got up and slowly paced in the hall, and said slowly, "The you before the amnesia and the you after the amnesia are two completely different people. Before the amnesia, you were suspicious, withdrawn, and deeply obsessed. It has reached the point where you cannot easily resolve it. This is the seed that you have planted in your heart after ten years of traveling westward, and no one can change it. No matter what the teacher says, it's useless."
"At the beginning, you thought that you were a teacher regardless of Que'er's life and death, just for the sake of your own great cause, so you chose to leave the Xieyue Sanxingdong Cave. However, in the end, didn't 'Queer' come back? It can be seen that the suspicion , this is superfluous."
The six-eared macaque blinked blankly and was stunned for a moment.
Turning his face, Subhuti looked at the six-eared macaque and said, "I just want to ask you, if I give you another chance, will you repeat the same mistakes?"
At this time, the six-eared macaque was completely dumbfounded. It took him a long time to regain his senses and hesitantly said: "Master, disciple, I don't understand very well."
"Don't understand?" Subhuti raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I don't understand." The six-eared macaque shook his head and said, "The disciple doesn't understand why the disciple suspected the master in the first place. If even the master is suspicious, who else can be trusted?"
"Then can you be confident?"
"Yes!" The six-eared macaque replied firmly. There was no hesitation in that expression.
Subhuti's brows slowly opened.
Obviously, this is a completely different person from the monkey, both in character and experience. After all, the ten-year pursuit of immortality is the root of everything...
Thinking, Subhuti couldn't help laughing, pointed at the six-eared macaque and said, "That's what you said! If that's the case, you should go back first."
"Go back?" The six-eared macaque was stunned for a moment: "The master hasn't told the disciple how to crack it."
"When it's time to let you know, you will naturally know. You just need to know, and being a teacher won't hurt you."
"what?"
Subhuti half-squinted his eyes and looked at the six-eared macaque, and said leisurely: "What? I just said that I would definitely not doubt it, but in the blink of an eye, I immediately began to suspect that I was a teacher?"
"No no no! Disciple dare not! Disciple dare not!" The six-eared macaque hurriedly bowed down and said, "Disciple will follow the master's arrangement!"
The words said so, but the six-eared macaque was still uneasy.
…
On the platform, Lao Jun, who had been sitting motionless in front of the chessboard, couldn't help but sigh and said, "The old fox and the idiot, hey, they really are a good pair of natural partners."
…
Seeing that Subhuti had stood up, the six-eared macaque kneeling on the ground suddenly said, "Master, this disciple has agreed to Junior Sister Qingxin and wants to save Chenxiang. I wonder if Master will allow it."
Subhuti, who was about to leave slowly, was suddenly stunned.
bowed his head, and the six-eared macaque added: "If the master allows, please ask the master to teach the disciples how to save Chenxiang."
…
Lao Jun, who was holding the chess piece, burst out laughing. While arranging the chess basket, he sighed leisurely: "It turned out to be the old fox and the little fox. This is a test. The same disciple, if you don't save Chen Xiang, how can you do it? How about saving him? Hey, Mr. Bodhi, Mr. Bodhi, don’t blame the apprentice for being suspicious, if you do, you can only blame your master, it’s so weird. Hahahaha.”
…
After a long stalemate, after hesitating for a long time, Subhuti bowed and helped the six-eared macaque up, saying, "It's not appropriate for you to go to this matter. If you want to ask Ksitigarbha to ask someone, it's better to go for the teacher."
The six-eared macaque nodded heavily and said, "That disciple, I am waiting for the good news from your master in the Lion and Camel Country." (To be continued~^~)
