The Monkey King

The breeze blew by, and the swaying torches in the military formation swayed the light and shadow on Xuanzang's face.

The cassock was fluttering slightly in the wind.

With the sword tip close to his throat, Xuanzang raised his head high and stared at the multi-eyed monster.

"After the poor monk dies, he will never harm anyone here. Master Duomu, can you give the poor monk a definite guarantee?"

All the monks were silent. They stared blankly, their minds going blank.

A moment ago, they hated Xuanzang from the bottom of their hearts. They hoped that Xuanzang would die and use Xuanzang's life to save the lives of all the monks.

But when Xuanzang actually stood up, they found it so hard to believe.

Is this an act, or is this person really stupid?

Miao Jie held Xiao Bailong's hand tightly and whispered: "Anyone can die to protect Master Xuanzang, but Master Xuanzang cannot die...if he dies, there will never be another person like him again." Proved.”

Xiao Bailong's eyes kept flickering, and he lowered his voice and asked, "How sure are we that we can break through with Master Xuanzang?"

Tianpeng replied in a low voice: "Rolling curtain, Heimao, and the three of you bring Master Xuanzang. On the surface, it can be 60%, but... I don't know if the multi-eyed monster has a back-up plan. If there is a back-up plan, If you use your hands, you may not even be 20% sure. The premise is that you don't care about me and Miao Jie."

"No!" Roller Shutter and Xiao Bailong shouted almost in unison.

"You have to do it even if you don't. If you miss the opportunity, you may not even get 20%."

The roller blind is used to observe the movement in front. While gritting his teeth, he yelled in a low voice: "If this is true, I would rather not take Master Xuanzang with me, but just you, Marshal!"

"My cousin, I will never leave you behind." Xiao Bailong whispered.

"Since you have accepted this mission, you must be aware that there is no way you can come back alive." Tianpeng took a deep breath and said: "Rolling up the curtain. You were once a member of the Heavenly Army, so you don't even understand this truth. Right? Or, except for the Tianhe Navy, there is no such rule anywhere else?"

After saying that, Tianpeng smiled helplessly.

Roller Blinds was immediately speechless.

After a while, the multi-eyed monster turned red and shouted: "Do you think you can still be resurrected? After you die, I will make your soul fly away. You will never be reincarnated! Do you really dare to kill yourself?"

"Whether you dare or not is the poor monk's own business." Xuanzang said lightly: "All Master Duomu needs to do is to give the poor monk a definite promise."

"You have never met them, so are you willing to trade your own life for theirs?"

"Didn't Lord Duomu say you want to see Pudu?" Xuanzang smiled contemptuously: "You only need to answer Xuanzang, whether you will do what you promised."

At this moment, the multi-eyed monster hesitated. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Xuanzang in astonishment.

"Why?"

Staring at the little novice monk's body that has gradually become cold. Xuanzang said softly: "Because, Pudu."

The sharp sword touched the skin of his throat, and blood slid down the blade bit by bit.

At this moment, the breeze swept across like ripples and the clouds flew.

Everyone opened their eyes slightly.

The light of the bright moon shines down on the world, illuminating everything.

In the wind, Xuanzang stood quietly like a giant, towering like a mountain.

Behind him, all the monks opened their eyes slightly. Looking at Xuanzang.

"Purdue, that's a joke!"

"Beyond the sea of ​​suffering, there is a pure land that belongs to all living beings, not just to the Buddha."

"How did you know that?"

"The poor monk doesn't know, the poor monk just believes it."

"Believe it?" The multi-eyed monster snorted coldly and asked, "What if not?"

"If not, let the poor monk be buried in the ocean. In the future, there will be people like the poor monk who will follow the path that the poor monk took and continue to move forward until he finds it."

The corners of the multi-eyed monster's eyes twitched slightly, and his hand unconsciously tightened the riding crop on his waist.

He suddenly understood that what he was facing was not an immortal cultivator or a Buddhist cultivator, but the simplest martyr. The kind of martyr who only appears in ancient books.

Different from immortals who only seek immortality, and Buddhists who only seek transcendence, he is considered the most ignorant, the kind of person who seems to have disappeared from the world, a martyr - he only seeks the Tao in his heart, and his Tao, It's Pudu.

Abandoning the Buddha body and reincarnating for ten lives, just for the sake of enlightenment and universal salvation.

"Master Xuanzang!" A monk fell to his knees.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and all the monks knelt down, and they bowed their heads to Xuanzang. It felt like they would close their eyes unconsciously in front of the bright light, whether they wanted to or not.

In the dim firelight, someone could faintly be heard sobbing.

"The poor monk has a last wish, and I hope you can fulfill it for the poor monk."

"Master, please speak!"

"After the poor monk's death, I hope that there will be a Buddhist disciple who can continue the journey to the west for the poor monk. In this way... the poor monk will have no regrets even though he may die thousands of times."

After a brief silence, someone shouted: "Disciple is willing!"

Immediately afterwards, almost all the monks shouted.

…

In the underworld, Ksitigarbha frowned slightly, but Zhengfa Ming Tathagata smiled happily.

"That day, in the dungeon of Chang'an City, he forced me to help him."

"Even so, so what?" Ksitigarbha said coldly: "The suffering of the monks is still unresolved. The suffering of those who are trapped in the journey to the west is still there. How can the path to universal salvation be so easy to realize?"

"If the path to universal salvation really exists, what do you think is the first condition for attaining enlightenment?"

"There should be... there should be supreme wisdom that can resolve all suffering."

"No." Zhengfa Ming Tathagata lowered his head and sipped tea, and chuckled: "In this world, there are people with supreme wisdom... To prove the Tao, you must first have a fool like him, regardless of his own life, give up I lost everything, took this road of no return, and did such a thankless thing."

…

The multi-eyed monster looked at the prostrate monks on the ground in horror. For a moment, I forgot to further deter him.

Turning his face slightly, Xuanzang looked at Tianpeng and his party: "Marshal."

The canopy raised its head slightly with the support of the roller curtain and looked at Xuanzang.

"I'm afraid, I will have to trouble you all to protect the new pilgrims. The poor monk is not irreplaceable, and this road must be continued."

Tianpeng's brows were frowned tightly, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

Blood dyed the monk's robe red.

No one could believe it anymore. This seemingly powerless monk seemed to have infinite power.

…

"Some young people in Lingshan think that we should take action directly against the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. Kill him directly to avoid future troubles." Ksitigarbha laughed slowly, shook his head and said: "We should let them take a good look. .Whether Xuanzang is dead or not, he has to walk this journey, but whoever walks it will be able to achieve enlightenment in the end."

…

Lift your head. Xuanzang opened his eyes and looked directly at the multi-eyed monster: "The funeral affairs of the poor monk have been settled. Next, all I need is a promise from Master Duomu."

The multi-eyed monster's brows twitched slightly.

How could this happen? He originally wanted to expose this "liar" in public and prove to the Great Sage that he was right. But... now it seems that not only has this goal not been achieved, because his pressing step by step has actually proved Xuanzang's determination to attain enlightenment...

The hand holding the reins was rubbing repeatedly, looking strange with many eyes. Undecided.

Looking at the multi-eyed monster in the distance, Xuanzang asked loudly: "Master Duomu, is this promise so difficult?"

The bearded Taoist priest mobilized his war horse and came to the side of the multi-eyed monster: "Sir, could it be that we made a mistake? This Xuanzang's enlightenment is true..."

"So what if it's true! If you try to stop me, the great leader of the demon clan, you will be killed without mercy!"

Just listen to a "pop" sound. Turning around, the multi-eyed monster hit the bearded Taoist priest hard in the face with his riding crop.

Covering his face, the bearded Taoist priest quickly retreated.

When he looked at Xuanzang again, the multi-eyed monster roared viciously: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you crazy monk! The crossbowmen are ready--!"

As he raised his hand, countless bows tightened instantly.

The shield soldier standing in front had already put up his shield and took two steps back.

"Do it!"

Before the multi-eyed monster could move its hand, Canopy had already shouted out.

The black bear spirit and the rolling curtain rushed out towards the multi-eyed monster first. The little white dragon followed closely behind and rushed in front of Xuanzang.

During this instant sprint, the black bear spirit's body quickly expanded and turned into a five-foot-tall giant bear.

The roller curtain stood on the back of the black bear spirit, and its hands shone with light because of the concentrated spiritual power. The sleeves were torn, exposing tight muscles.

For a moment, the soldiers were dumbfounded.

Seeing the huge black bear spirit charging towards him, the multi-eyed monster's horse was frightened, jumped up and neighed, struggled to turn around and escape. The multi-eyed monster on horseback didn't seem to care, and was just concentrating on suppressing the war horse.

Just as the huge bear paw of the black bear spirit whizzed away towards the multi-eyed monster, suddenly, a tiger with the same physique as the black bear spirit sprang out from nowhere and bumped into the black bear spirit solidly.

At the same time, the roller blind has jumped to the top of the multi-eyed monster and rushed down. That hand contained almost all the power.

At this moment, a figure volleyed between the rolling curtain and the multi-eyed monster.

This is a Taoist priest, one of the Taoist priests who originally stood behind the multi-eyed monster.

The next moment, two horns were quickly pierced on the top of the Taoist priest's head. Those are antlers.

Before the roller blind could react, the wildly growing antlers had already formed a "wall" between the two like a coral reef!

The opportunity only comes once, if you miss it, you will never have it again.

Time did not allow Roller Blind to make any more judgments, so he could only use all his strength to rush towards the antler wall.

The first layer of antlers shattered under the rush of the roller shutter.

The antlers on the second floor shattered under the thrust of the roller shutter.

The antlers on the third floor shattered under the rush of the roller shutter.

…

Until the last layer, the seventh layer, was shaking slightly and cracking, but not completely shattered.

A mouthful of blood spurted out from the deer spirit's mouth.

Before the roller blind could gather its strength again, the multi-eyed monster pointed lightly across the last layer of antlers, and a white light instantly penetrated the roller blind's shoulder blade!

In desperation, the roller blind had to retreat.

On the other side of the battlefield, Xiao Bailong prepared a lot of words to persuade Xuanzang after Xuanzang rejected his suggestion to evacuate.

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to say these words.

When he held Xuanzang's wrist with one hand and snatched the sword from Xuanzang's hand, the Taoist priest with a goatee was already standing on the road where they were scheduled to evacuate.

"Calm down——! Maintain the formation!" A general rode a war horse along the already slightly loose military formation, shouting: "These are the heavenly soldiers invited by the national division! Don't be afraid!"

The multi-eyed monster riding on the horse said expressionlessly: "Not even one!" (To be continued ~^~)
