MTL - The Monkey King-Chapter 751 : The origin of fate

  The night wind was blowing slowly, and the flames from the bonfire drifted in the same direction.

   Xuanzang stared at the front with a lonely expression, sat motionless, and said nothing.

   In the distance, the monsters were all silently watching the two men beside the bonfire.

   After a long time, the monkey sighed softly, "Failed, right?"

   "I haven't failed yet." Xuanzang lowered his eyes slightly and said, "As long as you haven't reached Lingshan, you haven't failed yet."

When    said this, Xuanzang's hand lightly stroked the Buddha bead in his hand.

"You haven't failed before you reach Lingshan?" Monkey couldn't help laughing: "You mean, we have to stay on this road forever? Oh, no, it can't be forever. Because you almost have no intention of stopping. ."

   Said, the monkey picked up a stone at random, gritted his teeth, and threw it out into the distance with all his strength.

  The stone pierced the night sky like a shooting star and quickly disappeared into the endless darkness.

   The little white dragon who was not far away couldn't help but stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Have the conversation collapsed?"

   "I don't know." Tian Peng shook his head and said, "It's not a good thing after all."

   Hearing the words, Xiao Bailong gave Tian Peng a meaningful look: "I see why you are not in a hurry at all, everyone is in the same boat, and it will be no good for anyone."

   "Is it useful to be in a hurry?" Tianpeng asked rhetorically.

   This question, Xiao Bailong immediately fell down. I had to make a fuss and continue to look at the two from a distance: "I'm still waiting for the westward journey to succeed, please help me find a daughter-in-law."

   Canopy smiled silently.

   Behind that, a demon general who came in a hurry was talking to Lu Liuguai in detail, and both the Bull Demon King and Lu Liuguai widened their eyes in shock.

"What's the difference between this and failure? It's just lingering. Make up a lie and deceive the Three Realms. In the end, everyone becomes a joke." "According to your current speed, to Lingshan, that is, in the past three months. Do you have any other tricks? Say it and listen to it. I want to do it practically, and I don't want to listen to those who don't have it. It's not reliable. something."

   Faced with these questioning words, Xuanzang put his hands together and sighed softly: "As long as he is sincere, the poor monk believes that one day he will be able to prove the Tao and Purdue."

  "You believe..." The monkey bared his teeth and continued, "One day, what day will that be?"

   Xuanzang didn't answer any more, just closed his eyes and sat quietly. Like a Buddha statue.

"One day... Hehehe, it's so beautiful to say. It sounds like you're praying for mercy." Looking up, the monkey looked at the starry sky dimly, and chuckled: "I've been against the sky for a lifetime, now you are with me. I said ask for mercy. Funny, funny! Fucking funny!"

   As soon as he finished speaking, he had already slammed his fist on the stone beside him, and the huge stone was smashed to pieces.

   Under the loud noise, the demon generals in the distance all shrank their necks in fright.

   "Turn your face?"

   "No way. Let's protect Master Xuanzang all the way. Even if it is true... we don't need to do anything."

   For a while, you monsters looked at me and I looked at you, and the original irritable mood suddenly dissipated and was replaced by a little worry.

   propped up his knees and slowly got up, and the monkey walked away without looking back.

  …

  In the Xieyue Sanxing Cave, the six-eared macaque glanced at the dignified Qingxin next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Master, I just let them go, it's really letting the tiger return to the mountain."

When    said this, Qing Xin kept staring at him.

   Being stared at by Qingxin like this, the six-eared macaque felt uncomfortable, and the feet on which it was sitting couldn't help but move and move. On the other hand, Subhuti, who was sitting on the other side, seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

   "Master, Master." The six-eared macaque stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Subhuti's eyes.

  Subhuti woke up suddenly, took a deep breath and said, "You...you go back first."

"I'll go back first? Master, just leave them alone like this?" The six-eared macaque stretched out his hand and scratched his cheeks, and said with a chuckle, "If the two of them go, they might do something. Just leave it like that. If you don’t care, the great cause of westward travel will be completely ruined.”

  Subhuti lowered his head and blinked his eyes blankly. In a short period of time, his mind seemed to have drifted away.

   "Master..."

   The six-eared macaque wanted to reach out again. Qing Xin, who was on the side, quickly grabbed his wrist, and said softly, "If the master asks you to go back, you can go back. What are you talking about?"

   "What? Are you angry?"

   "What am I mad about?"

   "I'm angry with me." The six-eared macaque shook his head and said, "Isn't it because I didn't listen to you and forced my way into the Taoist temple?"

  Qingxin didn't answer, but still stared at the six-eared macaque.

  The six-eared macaque glanced lazily at Subhuti, but helplessly stood up slowly on his knees, and sighed: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll go back first. Say hello if you need anything."

   said, he leaned on the iron soldier and walked towards the door step by step. It happened that a demon general arrived and whispered a few words in his ear.

   Hearing the words, the six-eared macaque suddenly had a look of joy on his face, and he was stunned for a moment.

  …

  Beside the dry stream, Xuanzang was still sitting quietly by the bonfire. Those monsters are still hanging aside.

  The monkey pulled the canopy to the other side of the creek without saying a word.

   Seeing that the monkey's face was extremely bad, Tianpeng asked in a low voice, "I heard that you and the six-eared macaque started work in Xieyue Sanxingdong?"

   "Yes, not only did he move his hands, but my master... that dead old man actually helped the six-eared macaque, and even wanted to replace me with the six-eared macaque." When he said this, the monkey's teeth rattled.

   Hearing this, Tian Peng glanced at the monkey intentionally or unintentionally, his expression as usual.

   "Looks like you already guessed it." The monkey hummed helplessly.

  Tianpeng nodded silently and said, "It's unexpected. If... if the one who remembers it is the six-eared macaque, he will also choose to help you."

   "What do you mean?"

   "As long as you have memory, you will fight to the death with the Tathagata. Because that is a deep hatred that cannot be resolved. It is hard to say if you don't have memory... The one who has no memory, he will naturally find a way to hold him back and avoid letting him lean towards the Tathagata."

   "So, our master-disciple relationship is dead in name only, right? He only has westward travel in his heart."

   "Should... let's say so. Didn't all your nine senior brothers die like this? This is something that is known to all three worlds."

   Staring at the already dry and dark river, the monkey grinned slowly, but did not make a sound. Under the moonlight, the bloodshot eyes reflected a faint fluorescence.

   The two of them just stood silently.

After a while, the monkey reached out and patted Tianpeng's shoulder lightly, and said, "To tell the truth, I have always wanted you to die before, I mean, hundreds of years ago. You and the evil dragon are the ones I want most. killed people."

   "Oh?" Canopy gave the monkey a blank look.

   "After going west, I know that you have a jade slip from Nantianmen on your body, but because you don't want to tear your face, I didn't say it."

  Tianpeng lowered his head and took out the jade slip hidden at his waist, rubbed it twice with his thumb, and put it back.

"However, that's all in the past." Leaning on the golden hoop, the monkey sighed staggeringly: "Who would have thought? At a critical time, the only person I can ask to discuss is you. It seems that I It's really not a good person. I don't even have a friend who can talk to each other."

   "Why do you say that?" Tian Peng smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it Lu Liuguai?"

Looking at Lu Liuguai from a distance, the monkey hummed and said, "I just found out that he concealed the contact between Qingxin and the six-eared macaque. He actually dared to conceal such a thing. Did you know it earlier? "

  The canopy lowered his eyes slightly and did not answer.

  Qing Xin was trapped in the lion and camel country before, in fact, Tian Peng also knew. Concealing the monkey was the joint decision of him, Lu Liuguai, and the Bull Demon King.

   was silent for a while, then the monkey said, "You are a bystander, I want you to analyze one thing for me."

"What's up?"

"Lao Jun's 'inaction' seems to have a chance to recover. If he can recover his cultivation, it is obviously more reliable than Purdue. I want to lean on him. Of course, you can rest assured, I promise you what I will do. I will definitely do it. Even if Purdue does not succeed. But... Laojun said that there is a price. And it is the price that I have to pay. I was forced to tell me this. It can be expected that the price is not small. I want to know... It will be what?"

   Looking at the monsters on the other side, Tianpeng asked softly, "What do you care about most?"

  Monkey squinted his eyes and said, "I want the Tathagata to die, completely dead."

"anything else?"

   "Qingxin, Yang Chan, they can't get involved."

"anything else?"

  The monkey tilted his neck slightly, looked at the monsters on the other side and said, "And them, my brothers, I don't want anyone else to die."

   "What else?"

   "What else is there?" The monkey hummed and said, "The Tathagata is dead, Qingxin and Yang Chan are all right, and they are all right. This is not enough? If I can do this, I will live my happy life, what else do I need?"

  The canopy said hesitantly: "I think...the 'price' is this."

  Monkey was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the canopy. Gradually, the surprise in those eyes turned into astonishment.

   "You mean..."

"Freedom, your freedom." Tianpeng said lightly: "You are a soul from outside the sky. It is because of you that you destroyed the Tiandao Stone and broke Laojun's cultivation. The six-eared macaque has no memory, and he does not pose a threat. The only one who threatens is you, or rather... your freedom. I think the price should be this. At least, it includes this."

   In an instant, three words flashed in the monkey's mind: "Tight hoop".

   For more than 800 years, that "Journey to the West" is like a magic spell. No matter how he struggled, how to dodge, and how to make the world beyond recognition, he still had to return to the original point.

  Perhaps, this is the root cause of Purdue's inability to advance. He gathered all the people traveling west, but only this key item was missing...

  Under the moonlight, the monkey gritted his teeth and clenched his golden cudgel. He smiled helplessly and burst into tears. (To be continued~^~)
