The Monkey King

The last ray of sunshine in the west gradually disappeared, and the clouds in the sky still seemed to be embedded with golden edges. Looking from a distance from Xianyue Sanxing Cave, it is quite spectacular.

Several birds flew overhead and returned to their nests.

In front of the attic where Qingxin lives, Chenxiang is sitting cross-legged, showing Qingxin the breath she has been practicing these days.

Subhuti walked in slowly.

Qingxin hesitated for a moment, then turned around and saluted him: "Disciple Qingxin, please see the master."

Chenxiang also quickly climbed down from the stone chair, knelt down and kowtowed to Subhuti.

"Get up, no courtesy." Subhuti shook his sleeves and sat on the stone chair, looking at Qingxin lightly.

Qingxin lowered her eyes slightly, her face expressionless. It's like turning a blind eye.

Taking a deep breath, Subhuti turned to look at Chenxiang: "Have you made any progress in your practice these days?"

Chenxiang pursed her lips and looked up at Qingxin.

"When Master asks you, just answer how you should." Qing Xin said.

Lowering his head, Chen Xiang replied hesitantly: "To tell you what Master is saying, disciple... I don't know if there has been any progress."

"But you still can't sense the spiritual energy?" Subhuti asked, stroking his long beard.

Chen Xiang nodded silently.

"If a mortal cultivator is not gifted, it would be amazing if he could sense spiritual energy in such a short period of time." As he spoke, Subhuti took out a white bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Agarwood: "This is Dan, your master has also used it. Maybe the perception of spiritual energy will be helpful."

Chenxiang looked up at Qingxin again.

"Take the elixir that Master gives you."

Hearing this, Chen Xiang respectfully took the bottle from Subhuti's hand and held it against his chest.

Subhuti smiled faintly and said: "You are still young. The most important thing in practice is persistence. Even if you are a practitioner, you have to accumulate it over time before you can achieve anything. There is no need to rush for a moment."

Chen Xiang pursed her lips and nodded silently.

"Let's avoid it for now. Your master and I still have something to talk about."

Chenxiang looked up at Qingxin again.

Seeing Qingxin nodding, he took two steps back, saluted Subhuti, and then walked away holding the elixir bottle.

Only Subhuti and Qingxin were left in this courtyard.

Qingxin raised her head. He said expressionlessly: "Master, can you please keep the story short? My disciple has other matters."

After saying this, Subhuti immediately laughed bitterly.

He raised his sleeves, and a neat tea set immediately appeared on the stone table.

"Why, you don't even want to have tea with the master?"

"Disciples don't dare."

"You don't dare? Why don't you dare? Even the defenders of Nantianmen know that your pure heart is not afraid of heaven and earth. Even the Jade Emperor will give you three points of thin noodles." After saying this, Subhuti laughed. got up. Pure heart but not smiling. Instead, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Soon, Subhuti made the tea, poured a cup, and pushed it in front of Qingxin.

However, Qingxin did not reach out to pick it up, but just watched quietly.

The evening breeze blew slowly through the fence of the courtyard.

Subhuti folded his hands, slowly closed his eyes, and felt the coolness in the wind. He swayed like an ordinary old man taking a nap, and sighed softly: "I heard. You and your senior brother, and Are you having trouble?"

Qingxin quietly rolled her eyes at him.

This is asking knowingly. Is there anything else that can escape his eyes in the Three Stars Cave under the slanting moon?

"Do you know why your senior brother is so anxious today?"

Qingxin didn't say anything, just stood silently and listened.

"Because, some old things. In short, my teacher can assure you. He didn't deliberately come to provoke you, nor did he deliberately come to trouble Chen Xiang."

"Master, can you explain it more clearly?"

Subhuti opened his left eye slightly and glanced at Qingxin with a half-smile.

At this sight, Qingxin's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly. She quickly turned away and continued to pretend to be nonchalant.

"You have been watching your teacher grow up since you were a child. Although in the memory of the three lives now, it is impossible for my teacher to be as sure about you as in the past, but...among these three lives, there is only Que'er, who is my teacher. No contact. Besides, no matter how you change, you are still pure in heart." After saying that, Subhuti opened his eyes, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "This tea is good, it was sent by the Jade Emperor a few days ago. .Although Heavenly Court’s tea is never very good, this time, it’s really not bad. Don’t you want to try it?”

Qingxin didn't even look at Subhuti and said, "Since the master knows that the disciple is pure and not a wind chime or a bird, why do you still force the disciple to do something that a disciple shouldn't do?"

"What should be done and what shouldn't be done?" Subhuti put down his tea cup, sighed deeply, and said, "I know that you don't want to get close to your senior brother. First, because in your heart, you are still A pure heart is not a bird or a wind chime. Secondly, because of the final conclusion of the Tathagata of the West... there is no love in the heart of the monkey, but there were flowers with Yang Chan on the moon tree. Although you are competitive, But I’m not willing to put down my dignity to fight for such a relationship.”

Qingxin still stood quietly, her eyes blinking at a significantly faster rate.

"However, some things are unavoidable." Subhuti said softly: "Today, the souls of your nine senior brothers are still preserved in the Mingyun Mirror as my master. If you don't break it, you can't stand it. After breaking it, you stand. If you want to usher in a new era, A new atmosphere always requires some sacrifice.”

"Master, this disciple doesn't understand."

"What don't you understand?"

"Disciple doesn't understand, is the new atmosphere really that important?"

Subhuti raised his head slightly.

Qingxin lowered his head slightly.

This time, she did not escape Subhuti's gaze, and the two just stared at each other silently.

After a long while, Subhuti smiled faintly, lowered his head and rubbed the tea cup and said: "The new atmosphere is very important, not to mention the three realms, it is too important for any living being. This also includes being a teacher, including you. .”

"Why don't disciples see how important it is?"

"That's because you are still young." Subhuti frowned. Looking at Qingxin with a smile, Qingxin felt uncomfortable all over.

After a while, Subhuti sighed softly: "There are some things that even if my teacher tells you now, you probably won't understand them. But...when have you ever seen my teacher ask someone for help?"

Qing Xin's brows were so furrowed that she could squeeze out water.

"As a teacher, I don't ask for help. Even if I do ask for help, it is a transaction, not a one-sided request." Subhuti propped up his knees, shook his head and said, "Only for you... I already owe you a debt. You have a lot. Secondly, I can’t give you what you really want. So, I can only ask. I asked once. It didn’t work. This is the second time, and I guess it still won’t work. From this, you can know the new Weather is so important."

At this point, Qingxin turned around, faced Subhuti and cupped his hands and said, "Master. If there are no other instructions, I will take my leave."

Subhuti was stunned when he said this, and had to calm down and smile bitterly: "We haven't talked about the topic of being a teacher yet. Who did you learn this impatience from?"

"This disciple's personality has always been like this, and the master must have known it for a long time."

"That's all." In desperation, Subhuti waved his hand and said, "Master, I'm here to tell you two things. First, although you don't think you are a bird or a wind chime. But once the matter is revealed, That monkey head must recognize you. If you want to do something by then, although he may not necessarily agree with you, he will listen to it to some extent. This is more useful than me, the master, telling him. I have worked hard for the master. The purpose of hoping to facilitate this is to put a saddle and reins on his runaway wild horse. Otherwise, it would be okay if Buddhism suppresses it now. If there is no Buddhist suppression... he will cause harm to more than just the three realms. And himself."

"What else?" Qingxin asked expressionlessly.

Subhuti coughed twice, and then said: "Also, don't stop him from going west. Not to mention you now, even if he knew that you were the reincarnation of Queer Wind Chime, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to persuade him. Even if it's you now, I'm afraid you can't persuade him. If you persuade him, he will never forget it. Instead of stopping him from going west, you might as well reveal your identity. If anything happens, you can still be there to persuade him. "

"Is this what the master wants to say?"

Qingxin's expression was still cold and she didn't want to talk more.

Subhuti had no choice but to look up at the sky and sighed: "That's all I have to say...Ksitigarbha has already taken action. I'm afraid their road won't be so easy next."

"Ksitigarbha?" Qingxin was slightly startled.

…

Under the starry sky, many of the monks on the opposite side had already fallen asleep.

Xuanzang slowly turned his face to the side and looked at everyone.

The roller curtain frowned slightly, the black bear spirit blinked its eyes, and the canopy lowered its gaze slightly without saying a word. The little white dragon simply laughed.

"I object."

Everyone looked at Xiao Bailong, including Xuanzang.

Ao Lie sat with his legs spread open and said leisurely: "The ideal way is for you to drink water and hold on for two more days. The Great Sage will definitely not be gone for a long time. Once the Great Sage comes back, everyone will All the problems will be solved.”

"Then what will they do?" Xuanzang pointed at the monks and said, "The poor monks can hold on for a few more days, but what about them?"

"What do you care about them?" Xiao Bailong smiled contemptuously: "In the beginning, you insisted on seeing the plight of the monks in Chechi State. Later, you insisted on saving them. Now that you are in such a situation, you said After all, isn't it because of your so-called "kind heart"? I, Ao Lie, don't understand your Buddhist teachings, but I know that the current situation is basically caused by your womanly kindness in the beginning. If you play again As soon as 'Capture the thief first captures the king', if you mess it up, something will happen. When the time comes, your journey to the west will be ruined. Not only will they be unlucky, you will be unlucky, and we will also be unlucky. Do you understand?"

After this unceremonious argument, the expressions of Black Bear Spirit and Roller Blind changed slightly. Tianpeng looked as usual, but this time, he did not speak to protect Xuanzang as usual.

Xuanzang took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, straightened his waist and said: "The most fundamental way to save all sentient beings is to help others. If we turn a blind eye, what is the difference between a poor monk and a Western Buddha?"

"There is a difference." Xiao Bailong smiled slowly and said: "The difference is that Buddha does not save people, but he also does not harm people. You want to save people, but in the end, you harm them. So, I object. Because I don't want to be the victim. one of the people."

Suddenly, Xuanzang looked surprised, having been forced into a blind corner. (To be continued ~^~)
