The Monkey King

"Walk."

"Where to go?"

"Take you and return it to the master."

"Ah?" Qingxin was confused.

The six-eared macaque pulled Qingxin and walked out without any explanation.

Jumping onto Bagua, the six-eared macaque turned back and stretched out a hand.

Looking at that hand, Qingxin suddenly felt a little uneasy, hesitating whether he should do it or not.

"It's trouble for you to stay here. If you can't get out of the Xianyue Sanxing Cave, even if you want to do something, you have to think about it." Looking at Qingxin's hesitant look, the six-eared macaque added: "If you don't If you agree, I will tie you back."

Hearing this, Qingxin glared at the six-eared macaque, slapped his hand away, but still followed the gossip obediently.

The huge Bagua rotates slowly, heading towards the direction of Xie Yue Sanxing Cave.

Touching the Bagua at his feet, Qingxin said with some uncertainty: "This Bagua seems to be the Eighth Senior Brother's..."

"It should be." The six-eared macaque casually threw a bag over.

Taking the bag steadily, Qingxin rummaged through it quickly, and suddenly realized: "This is my magic bag, why is it here with you!"

"The ones I found in my study were probably left by Ksitigarbha."

"Where are the others? Where are my other magic weapons?"

"Do you still think that I will be greedy for your little thing?" The six-eared macaque rolled his eyes at Qingxin and said leisurely: "There are only so many in the study. For the rest, you can ask Ksitigarbha for it."

It feels very bad to be despised by others, especially by someone you hate. But there is nothing a pure heart can do.

after all. There is indeed not even the slightest difference in cultivation between her and the six-eared macaque.

Pouting, she could only start to sulk.

The entire journey was silent.

Not long after, Bagua arrived in front of Xianyue Sanxing Cave.

The Taoist disciple guarding the door saw the two people arriving and hurriedly came up to greet them. He saluted respectfully and said, "Disciple, see Master Wukong. See Master Qingxin."

"Uncle Wukong?" Qingxin shouted, "He is a six-eared macaque, not Senior Brother Ten!"

For a moment, both of them looked at her.

The Taoist disciple looked a little embarrassed, but the six-eared macaque simply gave Qingxin a look on his face and said, "Isn't that right? It's your decision that counts, the master's."

"Master... Where did the master acknowledge you?"

"Didn't I just tell your master to admit it?"

"When did you say that?"

"Didn't you say it?" The six-eared macaque stretched out his hand to scratch his head and said casually: "Then you have said it now. You should know, right?"

Said. Regardless of Qingxin's answer, he quickly followed the Taoist disciple and walked towards the temple. Standing there with a pure heart, a look of astonishment on his face

After ten steps away, before crossing the threshold, the six-eared macaque turned back to look at Qingxin and said, "Still not leaving?"

"Leave...what does it have to do with you whether I leave or not?"

"After going out for such a long walk, shouldn't the first thing you do when you return to the temple be to say hello to the master? Are you trying to copy the rules?"

Hearing this, Qingxin's eyes widened as big as copper bells, and her brows furrowed slightly.

What's going on? Over and over again, you become an outsider?

The Taoist disciple who led the way also stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle Qingxin. You are the disciple who entered the room. When you return to the temple, you should meet the master first."

These words made Qingxin dumbfounded. But he had no choice but to lower his head and follow from a distance.

Not long after, the Taoist disciple brought the two of them to Subhuti's concentration hall.

The Qianxin Hall was empty. The disciple just said that Master asked them to wait here and left.

All of a sudden, only the six-eared macaque and Qingxin were left in the hall, staring at each other with big eyes.

Or, more accurately. It was Qing Xin staring at the six-eared macaque, while the six-eared macaque was drinking tea leisurely.

This is Xianyue Sanxing Cave, which is considered to be on one's own territory. No matter how high the six-eared macaque's cultivation level is, Qingxin is not afraid of him daring to do anything outrageous. But...this situation is really weird. Why do you feel like you are an outsider, while the other person is back at home?

It was silent for a while. Qingxin said, "What...are you looking for, Master?"

"none of your business?"

"If you find my master, of course it's none of my business!"

"That's also my master."

"You!" Qingxin was so angry that she couldn't speak. She could only continue to stare at the six-eared macaque coldly.

After a while, the six-eared macaque drank half a cup of tea before he slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at Qingxin: "You have many identities."

"ah?"

"You are my junior sister, my junior nephew, and my unmarried wife. I understand all of this."

Qingxin frowned and lowered her head, not wanting to answer his words. She kept complaining in her heart about why Subhuti hadn't arrived yet.

Qingxin didn't want to talk, but the six-eared macaque said to himself: "Actually, I don't seem to be that hateful, right? At least I didn't do anything terrible to you. Weren't you planning to give me your energy just now? Why did he become a life-and-death enemy again in the blink of an eye?"

"That's because you promised to help me get agarwood back. I did it for agarwood's sake."

"Really?" The six-eared macaque grinned: "Okay, anything is fine. For the sake of your willingness to share your energy, I will help you rescue that little furry child."

"Really?" Qingxin raised his head hesitantly.

The six-eared macaque stretched its neck and answered word by word: "Fake."

"You!" Qingxin almost cried in anger, she reached out and picked up the cup and was about to smash it.

As soon as he raised the cup, the six-eared macaque suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You look better when you are angry than crying. If I continue teasing you and make you cry, it will be bad."

With a "whoosh" sound, the cup in Qingxin's hand was really smashed out. With a "crash" sound, the six-eared macaque shattered into powder beside him.

Qingxin didn't care whether he was hit or not, he stood up and walked out angrily.

"Where are you going? Master hasn't come yet!"

"Get out! I don't want to see you!"

Looking at Qingxin's background, the six-eared macaque touched his chin and murmured to himself: "Tell me, why is this person so weird? He told me to get out, but he did it himself?"

…

On the balcony, the chess game between Subhuti and Laojun was still going on.

The Taoist disciples on the side were watching silently, obviously a little impatient, but they didn't dare to show it.

Subhuti held the chess piece, stroking his long beard and thinking silently.

"Hey." Lao Jun raised his eyes and sighed softly: "Didn't I say I was waiting for you? Why aren't you going?"

"There's no rush, we'll go later."

"Wait a moment?"

"Think about how to answer first."

"Do you know what he's going to ask?"

"It's nothing more than a matter of him needing to absorb essence to survive."

"Let you be a good master." Laojun laughed and sighed: "This good master is not so easy to be. The problem of the six-eared macaque sucking essence is that Ksitigarbha is resurrecting him. It was implanted at that time. The essence and blood used to carry the spell inside is Xuanzang. Only by killing Xuanzang can it be unlocked. This should be regarded as the most vicious game. "

"This game is no worse than the one set for you. They are all dead ends. However, Buddhism will not say anything for the time being. Just like they would not take the initiative to tell the monkey at the beginning. With his personality, if he knew Buddhism's intention , even if he really wants to kill Xuanzang, he will turn Buddhism upside down. By then, the situation will be broken. Maybe it will be a profit or a loss in the end. Of course, we can't say. Having said that, belief or disbelief is the same thing. First, it would raise suspicions about us. And most importantly...it would disrupt the journey westward."

"Other than that, there is only one other way to get out of this predicament. That is to reshape the golden body. But once he reshapes it and returns to the void, no one can save him. In fact, it is the same Dead end.”

Subhuti raised his head slightly and glanced at Lao Jun: "Actually... there is another way. It is more difficult."

Lao Jun was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly: "What can I do?"

This time, with such a suitable opportunity to show off, Subhuti did not smile and say nothing as usual, but instead wore a solemn expression.

…

After half an hour, Subhuti arrived belatedly.

Seeing Subhuti coming, the six-eared macaque immediately straightened his back and kowtowed heavily: "Master, this disciple is here to trouble you again."

The solemn look on his face made Subhuti stunned.

If Tianwai's soul hadn't possessed the original Stone Monkey, his disciple might have been like this.

"Get up." Waving his hand, Subhuti quickly walked to the futon in the middle and sat down on it. He said softly: "Did you send your junior sister back?"

"Hehe." The six-eared macaque scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "She is just a burden to me. Maybe Buddhism will take action against her. So, I sent her back. Master, please be more careful. Take care of it.”

"It's okay to come back, just stay in the temple." Subhuti shook his fly whisk and sighed, "I'm just afraid she won't be able to stay."

"If you can't stay still, just tie him up. Isn't this difficult for the master?"

Hearing this, Subhuti couldn't help but give the six-eared macaque a meaningful look.

At this sight, the six-eared macaque was immediately confused.

"What? Master thinks the disciple is wrong."

"Yes, that's right, but that's not my teacher's style." Subhuti smiled lightly and said, "My teacher never forces anyone to do anything, let alone tie them up."

"Master, you are like a great immortal." The six-eared macaque said with a smile: "The disciple is a villain and can only think of worldly methods. However, these worldly methods are sometimes useful."

"Okay, let's leave it at that." Subhuti slightly squinted at the six-eared macaque and said softly, "Let's talk about another thing."

"another thing?"

Subhuti shook his sleeves and said, "About the essence. Isn't that what you came here to ask about?"

"Master knows things like a god!" The six-eared macaque replied with a smile: "The Buddhist sect set a trap in the disciple's body, forcing the disciple to suck the essence, and became the target of public criticism. The disciple wants to ask the master, what should the disciple do? Can we get rid of this situation in Buddhism?" (To be continued~^~)
