The Monkey King

"This is a game." Tianpeng said softly: "They are forcing us to take action, so don't fall into the trap."

"Walking westward, doesn't it mean that we are heading towards Tiger Mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountains? The poor monk has no choice."

Little White Dragon, Black Bear Spirit, and Roller Blind all looked at the canopy with their eyes wide open.

The monk's eyes went back and forth between Xuanzang and Tianpeng.

A monk kneeling on the ground tugged at the hem of Xuanzang's clothes and whispered: "Master...Master, we don't want to die...Please help me, Master, please help me..."

Xuanzang nodded silently, then turned to Tianpeng and said: "The Marshal is right, we cannot ask the Great Sage to come back. The poor monk must overcome this difficulty by himself."

Surrounded by the monks, Xuanzang and Tianpeng looked at each other and slowly took steps forward.

The monks held their clothes and followed him closely.

"Suffer it on your own...why?"

After hesitating for a moment, Tianpeng had no choice but to turn around and follow him.

Seeing this, Little White Dragon, Black Bear Spirit, and Roller Blind followed one by one. The monks under their protection naturally followed tremblingly one by one.

The arrow rain stopped.

…

"Reporting to the Imperial Master, they surrendered."

"Surrender?" The multi-eyed monster frowned in astonishment.

"Yes. They...all surrendered."

The three Taoist priests behind him all looked at each other in confusion.

"What's going on? Surrender?"

"They would rather surrender than notify the Great Sage...or do they have no means at all to notify the Great Sage?"

"Impossible. It's just a piece of jade slip. There's no way the Great Sage would be so careless that he didn't even leave the jade slip behind."

"What's going on? Is it a trick?"

The multi-eyed monster frowned tightly, and for a moment, he couldn't think of a reason.

"National Master, what should I do next? Accept surrender. Or kill?"

The multi-eyed monster repeatedly stroked its long beard and said slowly: "I accept the surrender. Let's see if we can find a way to separate the leading monk from the others."

"No!" The soldier got on his horse and galloped towards the quarry.

After the soldier left, the bearded Taoist priest on the side said softly: "Even if this matter is not a sure thing, it is probably not far away. Have you ever thought about how to explain to the Great Sage after the matter is completed?"

"Explain? What explanation do you want?" The multi-eyed monster snorted coldly and gritted his teeth: "The journey to the west is undoubtedly a trick of Buddhism. The Great Sage's authorities are confused. As subordinates, I should share the worries of the Great Sage. Even if the Great Sage If you want my life afterwards, just give it to him. How can I, the king of the demon clan, be reduced to a lackey of Buddhism! This deceived Old Gou Lu, but he cannot deceive me, the multi-eyed monster!"

Hearing this, the other three Taoist priests bowed and cupped their hands, saying: "Your Excellency, we must risk our lives to accompany you!"

Gritting his teeth, the multi-eyed monster looked in the direction of the quarry.

…

At this time, in the dim firelight, the monkey was walking back and forth among the bookshelves in the Hall of Life and Death.

Several ghost soldiers from the underworld followed him closely, hurriedly picking up the book of life and death that the monkey had thrown all over the floor and putting it back in its place.

While the monkey was flying in the air and quickly checking the book of life and death, he paid careful attention to the ghost soldiers.

Not just ghost soldiers. He was also aware of everything around him.

Gradually, he has determined that these ghost soldiers did not make any marks on the book of life and death he picked up.

But what's going on?

Regarding agarwood and Liu Yanchang, only the monkey himself knows the importance of these two names.

Why did the monkey come to the underworld at this time, except for the Westbound combination. No one can know. Does Buddhism really not care at all?

This isn't like their style.

Is it because they don't care, or because they already know, Yang or... How else can they investigate afterward?

The more he thought about it, the more the monkey felt something was wrong.

While thinking, the monkey turned over the book of life and death.

In the blink of an eye, he had flipped through the books of life and death on two bookshelves. Gradually, he was getting closer to his real goal...

…

Beside the altar, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata and Ksitigarbha were still standing quietly, watching the magic circle gradually mutate.

"Why is he coming to the underworld at this time?"

"Check the book of life and death."

"What are you checking? Are you pure of heart?"

Ksitigarbha slowly shook his head and said: "Check agarwood."

"who?"

"A mortal child."

"What is the purpose of searching the life and death book of a mortal child?"

Ksitigarbha smiled lightly and said, "Because he has a special name."

This smile was so meaningful that for a moment, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata could not understand the mystery.

The four great Buddhas of Buddhism: Dharma Ming Tathagata, Ksitigarbha, Samantabhadra, and Manjusri. Among these four people, in terms of magic power, the one recognized by the three realms as the most powerful is Zhengfa Ming Tathagata, but in terms of the unpredictable gods and ghosts, it is Ksitigarbha.

Many people think this is because Ksitigarbha rarely takes action. Because he rarely takes action, it gives people a mysterious feeling. But the Tathagata Zhengfaming knows otherwise.

It is clear that they practice the same kind of Buddhism, but sometimes, in front of Ksitigarbha, Zhengfa Ming Tathagata even feels that they are far apart, unable to guess, and constantly enlightened.

"For a while, I'm afraid the wanderer who left home will not be able to come back." Shaking his sleeves, Ksitigarbha sighed softly: "The poor monk made a new pair of interesting bamboo slips on a whim a few days ago. If the venerable one has If you’re interested, can you go and have a look together?”

Zhengfa Ming Tathagata nodded silently.

…

"I said, Marshal." Xiao Bailong whispered: "You said you can't ask the Great Sage to come back, so how about we ask others to come?"

"Call who?"

"They are called Heavenly Court. By borrowing the hands of mortals, they can be regarded as causing trouble in the mortal world. Heavenly Court will not sit idly by and ignore it."

"Do you have evidence? Without any evidence, how long will it take for you to ask Li Jing to come over, and how many troops will be obtained?" Turning his head, Tianpeng lowered his voice and said to the rolling curtain beside him: "No matter what, stay with Master Xuanzang. Beside. Can’t go far.”

"Understood." Roller Blind replied in a low voice.

The black bear spirit on the side also nodded silently.

Xiao Bailong obviously heard it too. However, he still had to guard his injured cousin, and he was already too busy to take care of himself. He couldn't leave even if he was asked to.

A group of monks filed out of the quarry gate, with Xuanzang at the forefront.

Rows of bows and arrows were pointed at him.

Putting his hands together, Xuanzang saluted the leading general and said: "Xuanzang is willing to surrender. I just ask the general to have mercy on these monks and let them live."

The leading general stared at Xuanzang with half-squinted eyes and raised one hand in the air. He neither gave an order to surrender nor an order to attack.

The monks around him were all silent and watching carefully.

Xuanzang stretched out his hands. But no one put shackles on him.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

A good while. A fast horse came to the general's side. The soldier on the horse quickly dismounted and whispered in the general's ear.

Tianpeng's ears trembled slightly, and he snorted coldly, and whispered to the others: "If you ask them to take us down together with the other monks, it means you want to take them as hostages."

"If you start killing people, how long will it take you to wipe out all the more than 20,000 troops?" Xiao Bailong suddenly asked leisurely.

This question. Everyone was stunned.

Xuanzang, who was standing at the front, shook his head and sighed softly: "Don't hurt the innocent."

"Are they still innocent?" Xiao Bailong couldn't help but laugh.

Xuanzang looked at the soldiers not far away who had their bows fully drawn and said, "They are just following orders."

Xiao Bailong's head suddenly shook like a rattle.

Until now, he had not been very clear about what Zhengdao Pudu was. It was just being coaxed and coaxed onto a pirate ship by a monkey. Today, for the first time, he felt that Purdue was so unreliable.

The feeling was like watching an innocent child imagining a world he had never seen before - it was just full of nonsense.

Judging from the expressions on the faces of the black bear spirit and the roller blind, I guess their thoughts are not far from those of the little white dragon.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Bailong said leisurely: "When the Great Sage was around, I always thought he was too impulsive. Now think about it, being impulsive also has its benefits. Without him, we will be at the mercy of others... …”

Not long after, several soldiers pushed a large amount of shackles on a cart and dumped them all on the ground.

The general shouted loudly: "Put down your weapons and put on the shackles. I will spare your life!"

The monks looked at each other, and finally looked at Xuanzang.

"Really surrender?"

"True surrender." Xuanzang stepped forward and reached out to pick up the shackles. Wear it on your hand.

Seeing him acting like this, the other monks rushed up one by one and put the shackles on themselves anxiously.

Many soldiers not far away laughed.

I'm afraid this is the first time they have seen someone so anxious to put shackles on themselves.

Tianpeng quietly pressed a seal on the handle of the nine-tooth nail rake, and glanced at the other people intentionally or unintentionally.

Several other people understood what he meant, and each of them also pressed the seal on their weapons.

Immediately afterwards, they had released their weapons.

The heavy weapons fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and the ground trembled slightly.

This time, the leading general's face didn't look so good.

But if it doesn't look good, it doesn't look good. The arrow has to be fired on Xuan. Now that they have come this far, they can't retreat no matter what.

A large group of spearmen quickly came forward and surrounded everyone, including a monk.

The general walked up to Xuanzang step by step and was about to say something, but the canopy had already blocked Xuanzang.

"You can take it or leave me alone, but Master Xuanzang must be with me."

After saying this, the general suddenly lost his temper and could only nod silently.

On a starry night, nearly 20,000 troops held torches high and escorted the remaining 1,000 monks and Xuanzang's group slowly towards the royal capital.

…

In essence, the situation has not changed. Even if he was captured, the "guards" still stayed by Xuanzang's side.

Looking at the army on the plain heading towards the royal capital from a distance, the multi-eyed monster sighed lightly and said: "I hope the Great Sage can come back later. Go and put away all their weapons. If they don't have any weapons, take action." The chances of winning are greater.”

Just as he was about to turn around, a soldier hurriedly came to him, knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please come over."

After hesitating for a moment, the multi-eyed monster said casually: "I know."

…

At this time, the monkey in the underworld was holding a book of life and death, his eyes widened and he was trembling with anger.

After trying every possible means to conceal and deceive, when I turned to the page I wanted, I found that it had been torn. And it was just torn apart! (To be continued ~^~)
